Chapter 320, the actress I want to work with the most
The first time I participated in the Golden Globe Awards, I was able to win three awards, which cannot but be said to be a good result. Although there is a lot of luck in it, there must also be a lot of media in the past.
But the excellence of these two films is also certain, in this world, no one knows these two films better than Mo Fei, "Soul Catcher" is a little better, "The Silence of the Lambs" was trembling when he won the award in his previous life, and his soft hands are nothing at all.
At this time, it is also because these two films have become Chinese-language films, from the director to the actors, including all the members of the crew, they are complete recruits for the American market. Otherwise, with these two films that have been changed according to the evaluation of their previous lives, the effect will never be worse than before, like the award for Best Actor in a Drama, it will definitely not be Sean Voight's turn to receive it.
Of course, people always have to face reality, I didn't think I could win these awards before, it would be okay to have a screenwriter award, and the other two awards are all earned, who made this a Chinese film.
The Golden Globes have made a good start, and he is a little confident in the next Oscars, and he is also a lot more confident in the next step in the United States and the world, but now there are more troublesome things waiting for him to solve.
As one of the winners of this year's Golden Globe Awards, the pursuit of the media is certainly inevitable, and in order to show his image and shorten the distance and relationship between Chinese films and the North American market, there should still be interviews.
"First of all, congratulations to Phoenix Culture for its good results in the Golden Globe Awards, please ask Mr. Mo Fei. Do you have any thoughts on the presentation of the Golden Globe Awards, such as Best Actor? "That's a question I don't know. But this question is very unpleasant, is this not clear to make a scene, knowing that Yongjiang was shortlisted for the best actor in the main drama and still asking like this, it is really reprehensible, and it is stupid enough to be idiotic.
However, you can't say what is in your heart, and you still have to have the routine of facing reporters when facing reporters, especially before you don't have the strength to fight with the media. Then you have to see people talking about people, and you have to speak Mandarin when there are people and ghosts.
You're welcome, then I can't be too honest. Mo Fei nodded with a kind smile and said, "Thank you very much for your congratulations, I also said when I received the award for this Golden Globe Award just now." They are really tasteful. And none of the awards are completely in line with the reality, and I believe that the Foreign Correspondents' Association and the Golden Globe Awards will get better and better. ”
Of course, most reporters are still more serious at this time, and the questions they ask are more realistic, and one by one a young reporter with square-rimmed glasses asked: "Hello Mr. Mofei, I am Nelson a reporter from the Los Angeles Times, "Soul Catcher" finally won over "The Silence of the Lambs", which was also written by you, I personally think this movie is quite good, what kind of environment made you have the idea of making such a film. Where do you get your inspiration from? ”
Mo Fei smiled slightly, and said in his heart, I really haven't asked Matt Dimon this question. I had to make one up on the spot, saying: "Actually, I originally decided to write this script because one day I saw a review about geniuses, and the author said that many geniuses will have psychotic or psychotic characteristics, some will look crazy, and some will act very autistic. I was thinking at the time, there are indeed many geniuses who will behave like this, so what is the reason for these personality and psychological changes, can we make a movie to explain it? It turned out that I had to make two films to be able to make it clear, because I had already said that there are two kinds of genius differences, one is the excitatory type of madness, and the other is depression and autism. The story told in "Soul Catcher" is the first case, and I am currently working on the script for the second type, which should be included in the plan by the end of this year. ”
"That's great, and hopefully it's another movie like 'Soul Catcher', will it be given to the same cast to star in this movie?" The reporter asked again
Now the reporter guessed wrong, but he understands the truth of accepting it when he sees it, and has already appropriated a "Soul Catcher", and this "Rain Man" can no longer be made into a Chinese film, too showy will make things bigger.
Shaking his head, he said: "You should know that I also have a film company in the United States, and I have invested in some films, and I will invest in shooting at least five to ten movies every year in the future." I would make a distinction between the script and the story, where it would be appropriate to shoot, what type of actors should be used for filming, and then deal with it according to the distinction. It's a good film for American society, so I plan to shoot it in Hollywood, or in a city in the United States. ”
"What about the actors, have you found a suitable one, or are you considering it?"
The actors have been set a long time ago, but my brother can't tell you, Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not so fast, the script hasn't been completely completed yet, and I want to be basically settled when it's included in the plan at the end of the year." ”
"It's true, a good movie needs a lot of preparation, and it always makes people look forward to it, and I hope that Phoenix Culture, the sister chapter of "Soul Catcher", can also get good results." Mo Fei's answer is very normal, it is rare for a movie to have the actors set before the script is completed, and the reporter can only express his wishes.
As soon as this side ended, the reporter on the other side began to ask questions about the reporter: "Hello Mr. Mo, I am Ren Xiaomei, a reporter from the World Journal, this time "Soul Catcher" and "The Silence of the Lambs" won great honors at the Golden Globe Awards on behalf of Chinese films, first of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Mo and Phoenix Culture on behalf of myself and the newspaper. So, Mr. Mo, what do you think of the current situation of Chinese films, today's Phoenix culture can be said to be unique in the Chinese film industry, what changes will occur in the long-term development of such a status quo; Will Phoenix Culture give some guidance to Chinese films and lead them on a road of rejuvenation; In addition, what does Mr. Mo have to say to Chinese filmmakers at this moment? ”
World Journal, the largest circulation Chinese newspaper in North America. It is also one of the major national newspapers in the United States, and this should be specially interviewed, all of them are Chinese.
Mo Fei looked at this reporter named Ren Xiaomei. In his twenties, he looks very capable, and the questions he asks are relatively rational, unlike the blind pride of some media that rises when they see the wind. I also know that in the United States, even when interviewing Chinese, I try to use English as much as possible, which has nothing to do with anything else, but respects the right to know of other media reporters present.
However, some of her words still can't be agreed. He nodded slightly as a sign of politeness, and said, "Girl, I will first correct you before I answer your question." Phoenix Culture may indeed have two Chinese films today, but this does not mean that it represents Chinese films, at least I think so, it can only represent some of them. First. I don't have that qualification to represent Chinese films; Secondly. There are some people that I or Phoenix Culture can't represent. There is a word called 'comrade', what is gay, like-minded people can be called gay, so the only people I can represent are those filmmakers who are like-minded with me. ”
It doesn't matter if others can understand it, let alone how the reporters write, it's just a "comrade" title, whoever labels him because of these two words is an idiot, and those who believe it are even more cerebral palsy. If you don't say anything about such people, they will also have no wind and waves, so you don't have to pay attention to them at all.
looked at Ren Xiaomei, who didn't understand very well. Mo Fei smiled and continued: "If you don't understand it, just write it according to my original words, and someone will definitely be able to understand it." Let's talk about your other problems, the current situation of Chinese films is not very good to tell the truth, because a large number of follow-up shooting works have made too many similar plots appear in many Chinese films, and when the audience can no longer tolerate the filmmakers' lack of progress, Chinese films will suffer. And we can't talk about revival yet, in my opinion, what Chinese films need to do now is to improve their own quality, and then try to catch up, and strive to reach the same level as European and American films, especially Hollywood films, within 20 years, and realize the real film industry, so that we can talk about other things.
As for what you said about Phoenix Culture, I don't dare to agree, Phoenix Culture is just an ordinary film company, which achieves the purpose of operating and making profits by making movies, and it is impossible to have any significant impact on Chinese films. Of course, I hope to be able to do something for Chinese-language films, and if I have the ability, I even hope to be able to make some contributions to the time film industry, and the same can only be for like-minded people, and people who are fundamentally different can only part ways. For Chinese filmmakers, I only have one sentence to say, do what you should do, do what you have to do, do what you want to do, and do movies as one thing, that's all. ”
It's not a small thing to say, this is also for the sake of the face of all Chinese, Mo Fei doesn't have so much to say about other media, after the reporter thanked Mo Fei, he was very satisfied and gave the opportunity to ask questions to the reporters behind.
This kind of lively occasion, of course, is indispensable for Japanese reporters to participate, not to mention anything else, just the heroine of the movie Honami Suzuki, which is enough for the Japanese to be anxious. With the arrogance and pride of the Japanese nation, there is such an opportunity to "show their faces", and if they do not hold on tightly, it will simply be an insult to themselves.
A skinny long-haired female reporter came out very flexibly, and regardless of whether others had opinions on her, she asked for the first time: "Hello Mr. Mo Fei, I am Oura reporter from Japan's "Yomiuri Shimbun", what does Mr. Mo Fei say about the performance of Japanese actor Honami Suzuki in this movie, does she have her credit for the success of this movie, and how will Phoenix Culture arrange Miss Honami next, will it march internationally?" ”
Not to mention that Honami is now her own woman, of course, you have to praise it, praise it fiercely, even if it's just a signed artist of the company, it's impossible not to praise it, isn't it hard to get along with yourself, not to mention that Honami's performance is indeed very good.
It's not that he is unprepared for this question, when he talked to Honami on the phone before, he already knew about the Japanese market's madness about the movie "The Silence of the Lambs", and it is estimated that this reporter is specially here to interview, otherwise he would not necessarily pay so much attention to the Golden Globe Awards.
Think of you to the crazy and hot movies in Japan, that's a lot of money. Mo Fei had a little more smile on his face, and said: "Honami is a very good actor, although he has not been in this industry for a long time. But it has already shown a very strong strength, and "The Silence of the Lambs" can have good results, of course, thanks to her. It's a pity that Honami couldn't be as good as me at the Golden Globe Awards this time, but we have nothing to do, all the actresses shortlisted for this year's Golden Globe Awards are excellent actors with outstanding strength, and Honami is just a newcomer. It's normal to lose in the competition against so many good seniors, but I'm sure it won't be long. Honami will definitely get more recognition and more honors.
As for the future development, she is still very young, there are many things to learn and precipitate, and every actor has really succeeded after a long period of accumulation. So I hope Honami can endure it. Once the foundation has been laid, it's time for him to spread his wings and fly high. Of course, the company also has a full range of considerations and arrangements, at least every year there will be a film facing the global market starring Honami, and there will also be some professional training for her, I believe that it will not be long before her success comes. ”
"Honami's success is also a sign of Japanese actors, and there are many excellent actors in Japan. Will Mr. Mo continue to collaborate with other Japanese actors in the future? ”
This Japanese chick is a bit of a good one, but she's in a pretty good mood right now. Nodding his head, he said: "Phoenix Culture is a company with a global vision, and will carry out more cooperation in the future, and I am happy to cooperate with outstanding actors from any country and region in the face of cooperation in the global market." ”
got Mo Fei's affirmative answer, the Oura reporter was quite satisfied, although it is not specifically for Japanese actors, but isn't Japan also one of the world, as long as he writes a little bit outside, he has everything.
"Hello Mr. Mo Fei, I'm Jennifer, a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter, "Soul Catcher" and "The Silence of the Lambs" are really two pretty good movies, I have watched each one more than twice, and each time there will be new discoveries and realizations, which is very rare." A black female writer handed the interview machine to Mo Fei and said, "What I want to ask is, as the filmmaker that Hollywood actresses are most willing to work with, will you cooperate more with Hollywood actresses in the next movies, and among the several actresses nominated tonight, which one do you want to cooperate with the most?" ”
"I have to thank you for your interest in these two films, and thank you for your positive comments about the films, your name is Jennifer, right, and when my next movie comes out, I'll give you two movie tickets as a thank you. If you ask me the actress I'd most like to work with, it has to be Meryl Streep, she's the best I think. The reporter said that she had seen it more than twice, and it should not be a lie, and if it was a lie, she would not have said it on this occasion, and it would have been exposed. And whether he is lying or not, he has to do it, exchanging two movie tickets for more benefits.
"Oh, thank you so much, even if the boss fires me for squid, I have to wait until those two movie tickets before leaving." was able to get two movie tickets, and they were given by Mo Fei personally, Jennifer was very happy, and after joking and thanking Mo Fei, she said: "Meryl Streep should have cooperated with Mr. Mo Fei, it is said that she has taken a film contract from Phoenix Culture and will start filming soon?" ”
"Then we can work together again, and we can continue to work together, I think I will have a lot of scripts suitable for her. I'm one of her biggest fans, I've been watching her movies since the '70s and will continue to watch them. "If you say so, and you really plan to do so, Meryl Streep is really the Hollywood actress who is most willing to work with, and there is no one.
However, the answer that this reporter wanted was obviously not this, Mo Fei was also happy to cooperate with his fans, and continued: "If there is one more, it is Whoopi Goldberg, she won the Best Actress Award today, which is an affirmation of her performance, and it is also a very fair and reasonable evaluation, her performance can bring a lot of fun to the audience, she is a great actor, I will definitely find a chance to work with her." ”
Jennifer is also very happy that Mo Fei is willing to find a black actor and Zuo, and he is so sure, which can be regarded as an honor for black people. However, she was still not satisfied, and continued to ask: "So, what about Mia Farrow, he is also a very good actor?" ”
Mia Farrow? I don't know if she is an excellent actor, but I can be 10,000% sure that this is definitely one of the actors he hates the most, and it can be said that mentioning this old lady is quite nonsense. Adopting a daughter is a stick, and finally hooking up with his man, he still has the heart to fan the flames everywhere and play political shows, even if it is to win exposure, but it is also a shame all over the world. This is also the seed player marked in the blacklist, it is strange that Mo Fei will cooperate with her, if there is only one actress left in the world, Mo Fei will definitely choose a movie without female characters, if there is only such an actor left, even if he loves movies again, he must endure the pain and let the movie disappear.
But you can't say it directly, at least that girl fairy hasn't been sick yet, and a lot of things haven't happened yet. smiled: "Her boyfriend is very famous, both the screenwriter and the director are very good, I think she shouldn't care about working with me." Well, there is also a press conference of the journalists' association, so let's go here first, and there will definitely be more opportunities to communicate with you in the future. Thank you and goodbye! (To be continued......)
