After talking about the general plot, it's time to arrange the characters, Jennifer's recent state is not very good, and she is not ready to treat her as a key training object, not to mention that Phoebe Kates's father and uncle are going to play a big role in the future, so of course the protagonist must be her cousin.

To tell the truth, Phoebe Cates is indeed worth cultivating, but if she hadn't taken the initiative to appear, she wouldn't have gone to her, there are more stars worth cultivating in Hollywood, and there are not a few people who eat both the East and the West, and it doesn't have to be a face of mixed Chinese and American descent. Even if you dig in Hong Kong, it is not difficult to find a few suitable candidates.

The reason why Phoebe Kates was chosen was first because she took the initiative to appear, saving Mo Fei the process of bothering to find it. Of course, even if she doesn't have her family background, as long as she takes the initiative to appear, Mo Fei will also choose her, because of the Hong Kong market's rejection of Western films, there is such a face with a strong oriental taste on the screen, it is relatively easy to pry that interest, which is also one of the reasons why Mo Fei has installed local Chinese actors in many films.

To put it bluntly, it's called a win-win. If you just focus on showing Chinese films, and exclude Western films far from the circle, it is not a completely good thing for Chinese films.

Why should the film market in Europe and the United States accept Chinese-language films, don't people have a sense of market protection, of course, and they have to do it at a deeper level than China's, look at the so-called anti-dumping gods in later generations, aren't they all controlling interests.

So you want people to accept your stuff. You also have to think about the interests of others accordingly, not to mention that the North American market is extremely strong now, and the big 6 film market and even the market including Hong Kong and Wanwan. But it is far from the 1% situation of the North American market.

Not only now, but also in the future, Mo Fei's plan can be realized, and after the big 6 film market is opened, it is also necessary to maintain this win-win model.

While improving the quality of their own products, they should also give others enough space to survive and even make profits, which is the only choice for doing business and making profits. But this point is still very clear.

looked at Phoebe Cates and Jennifer opposite, Mo Fei was still quite satisfied, and said, "Phoebe, you are here to play the heroine of this movie." That is, Debbie, a law school student; There is also a supporting actress with a heavier role, so I'll leave it to Jennifer. You are all actors with some acting experience, and I believe you will not disappoint me. ”

Such an assignment was already well known to the two of them when Mo Fei was talking about the script. It must be Phoebe Kates who must be the main promoter. Jennifer is largely true of her best friend. Although she said that she can definitely become an excellent actor in the future, and she herself believes in this sentence, but for now, it is far from time, and it is not bad to get an important supporting role.

If you want to say that the comparison between Jennifer and Phoebe Kates is slightly superior in the earliest days, when it was in the "Open American School" section. Jennifer was the heroine, and Phoebe Kates could only be regarded as the second female lead at the time.

And in the following years. In order to achieve a breakthrough in acting, Jennifer selectively took on some roles that challenged her acting skills, and these roles were basically not the protagonists, and some were not even the female number three. The acting skills have indeed improved a lot, but in the audience's impression, as well as in terms of fame, it is much worse.

Of course, there are additional objective factors here. Phoebe Cates is tall, a big man of more than 1.7 meters and most male actors can play with him, while Jennifer has no advantage in terms of height; In addition, in terms of appearance, although Jennifer is not ugly, there must always be a comparison, and it is a little worse than one; In terms of the family backgrounds of both sides, Phoebe Kates also has a slight advantage over Jennifer; Overall, Phoebe Kates is certainly the winner.

Under the advantages of the other, Phoebe Cates has become the female number one in a box office movie with more than 100 million dollars two years after her official debut, while Jennifer hones herself for her acting skills, and there is still no proud work that can be done.

As for the situation after many years, in Mo Fei's opinion, there is nothing to refer to, and there is no comparison. In his previous life, Phoebe Cates faded out after marriage because of family reasons, and gradually lost his reputation, and was even forgotten by many people. And Jennifer will continue to move forward on the road of strength, but it will definitely be much better than in her previous life, and when she arrives under Mo Fei's hands, this is obviously stepping on the ladder, and there will be no actor in Phoenix Culture who is not worthy of her name.

It can be said that as Jennifer, who debuted earlier than Phoebe Cates and is dedicated to acting, her good friend in the quarter is not enough, but she will still be a little unwilling in her heart.

However, Mo Fei's words were not finished, since he decided to sign these two actors, it was impossible to be irresponsible, snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand, lit another one, and said: "Jennifer, in addition to this movie, you also have to perform in a TV series, after signing the contract, the company will have someone to give you the script and take you to the crew to report." I recognize your efforts to hone your acting skills, and if you persist in this way, you will definitely succeed, next year, next year I will arrange a movie for you to star, don't let me down. ”

"Then, Mr. Mo, has the actor of this movie been found?" I was also very happy to get the heroine Phoebe Kates, and I also raised a lot of interest in the role I would play with that actor.

Mo Fei glanced at her and said, "The actor is currently only a favorite candidate, but he hasn't decided yet, what's the matter, do you have a suitable candidate to recommend?" ”

This can't be done, Phoebe Cates is very self-aware, such a thing is something that a small actor can interject, shook his head and said: "I don't know many actors, how can I recommend it, I just want to know who I work with." ”

"Hehe, there's no need to be so cautious, I think I have a good suggestion that I must put forward, maybe I didn't expect it." It is still very democratic in this regard, and even if you have that many years of memory, you may not know more about certain situations than those who live in the United States today.

Then he said: "I set the male protagonist in this story as a black man, and the current favorite actor is called Denzel Washington, I don't know if you've heard of it?" ”

At this time, Denzel Washington was still an ordinary actor, and of course no one would be familiar with the name, and the two shook their heads in unison. At that time, Jennifer thought more and asked: "Is it an actor who is not famous, or a European actor, Phoebe and I are not famous, if you add another actor who is not famous, isn't Mr. Mo worried about the effect of the movie after it is released?" ”

At this time, he can consider the interests of the company, this actor is indeed good, Mo Fei shook his head and smiled indifferently, and said: "This actor is from the United States, and he is indeed not famous, but in the future, I guarantee that he will become one of the most shining stars." As for the box office, there is no need to worry about it at all, could it be that the protagonist is a newcomer, and the supporting roles must all be nameless, and the box office of this film will not be bad. ”

There are some things that I don't think need to discuss with the actors, as long as they know that it is in the interests of the company.

Using actors who are not very famous as the protagonists, and then finding a group of veteran actors who are old and popular to play supporting roles, this is one of the necessary means to promote newcomers, and most of the time the effect is surprisingly good. Jennifer is still too young, and she puts more experience into acting, and it is natural that she can't understand this. If you're a veteran, you wouldn't think so.

After saying that, he remembered something again, and said to Phoebe Kates: "And Phoebe, now that everyone else knows that we are cousins, you will call me cousin in the future, it's not that difficult." ”

"Well, well, cousin." Phoebe Cates called Mo Fei in embarrassment and said, "Mr. Mo, oh, I'm sorry, cousin, how are we going to sign the contract?" ”

Could it be that he did this for the sake of face for himself and Phoebe Kates, secondly, to get closer to her father and uncle in the future, and to create a little public opinion news for the movie, which can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.

As for signing the contract, it's nothing, I believe that with this movie as an introduction, these two girls who take the initiative to sell themselves will not run, and said: "I'm going back to Hong Kong tomorrow, if you can contact a lawyer, it's better to sign the contract this afternoon, and if you get the script early, you will have more time to study it." In addition, if you don't have a brokerage company, you can also sign a contract to come to the Dao, and the next step is that the company can arrange some other contracts similar to advertising for you, if there is a company, then we will talk about it later. ”

Both of them are young actors, and they are from families in the industry, and there is really no brokerage company, but they just found their relatives and friends to be agents, so naturally they are not as good as a professional brokerage company, so they signed the contract on the same day and went back to study the script with it.

After the two girls were handed over to the people of Phoenix Culture America, they received some media, and even if the matter in the United States was dealt with, they flew back to Hong Kong the next day.

And at this time in Hong Kong, there was also a big event, a big event that made Mo Fei very depressed.

On April 2, 1986, Hong Kong's securities financial market, which had previously coexisted with four stock exchanges, was unified on this day, and from this day on, Hong Kong's financial sector officially entered a period of complete prosperity.

The establishment of the new Hong Kong Stock Exchange, the Governor of Hong Kong, Sir Youde, bought the first stock, and also announced that Hong Kong is about to usher in more attention from financial predators, and a new era of gold nuggets has arrived.

But Mo Fei, who had already begun to prepare for planning, was unable to get a big cake in it because he did not have a suitable agent candidate, and this dilemma of having rice without cooking was really suffocating. (To be continued.) )
