"Mo, I'm really sorry, I have a little doubt about your arrangement, I'm worried that if you follow what you belong to, let that British actor named Gary Oldman play the main supporting role, will this movie really be successful?" On the third day after the Cannes Film Festival, Luc Besson found the hotel where Mo Fei and Honggu were staying, and raised his doubts and concerns.

"Well, you can rest assured on this subject, I promise he'll surprise you." In this matter, Mo Fei is really a little careless, and he made himself an oolong, no wonder Luc Besson behaved like this.

For the actor Gary Oldman, he should have made his debut at this time in his memory, but after Luc Besson found him, he recalled it carefully, and then remembered that the guy was still a rookie who had just debuted, and now he should have just starred in the first movie in his life.

But people choose by themselves, so they can't always slap themselves in the mouth, so they can only stick to their previous choices. Besides, he is still very confident in Gary Oldman, if he is not famous at this time, but it will be completely different in the future, not to mention Sirius, Harry's godfather in the "Harry Potter" series, the male number two in the 2014 version of "Robocop", the vampire count Dracula in "400 Years of Vampire Zombie Horror", also performed in "The Fifth Element" directed by Luc Besson, and he was the actor of the villain policeman in "Killer Leon". If you don't have some talent, can you take on so many important roles?

Stretched out his hand to beckon Luc Besson to sit down, and began to flicker: "You must believe me, I value this actor very much, and I am going to use him in other movies in the future, my vision will never be wrong." The reason why I insist on recommending him to you. It's because of his excellent performance in "Sid and Nancy", otherwise how could I casually appoint a new actor for such an important role. ”

Luc Besson still believed in Mo Fei very much, but he couldn't help but be suspicious about this matter and asked, "But, Mo." That "Sid and Nancy" is just an ordinary movie, and it hasn't been officially released yet, how do you know that he is doing well, and does that film have something to do with your company? ”

"Hehe, this one is actually very simple." Mo Fei once again warned himself cautiously that he must think carefully about similar things in the future. Otherwise, there will be some kind of chaos, said: "I saw a short clip of "Sid and Nancy" through some special channels, and saw the performance of this actor, so I said so. The villain policeman in the film "Killer Leon" is not just a little crazy. Somewhat neurotic, and a little resentful, this actor can meet all of these requirements. His performance is really good, I think he is fully qualified for this role, if you are still not sure, you can let him audition, if not, I will not object to you choosing another actor. ”

That's what the big bosses of the investment say. Of course, Luc Besson can't have any objections, he can only see what kind of character this actor who makes Mo Feidu look up to him so highly, is it really good acting skills in Chengdu.

Putting these things aside, after the two chatted for a while, Luc Besson said goodbye and left to prepare for the casting, and made an appointment to audition with Mo Fei and Honggu the next day, and also met the established protagonist Jean Reno.

The first thing to be carried out is naturally the selection of the heroines of the film. And the requirements of this heroine are also the most requested in the whole film. Jean-Reno's height reached 1.9 meters, and although the actor he played with was only a little girl, he could not be too small, and the Europeans were quite large, but among the girls who could perform and pass the image around the age of eleven, this side was very small; And it has to be approved by all the casting officers, which is even rarer.

One day in a row. The people who participated in the audition have all passed 80 young actors with suitable height and acting experience, but every one of them can be looked at, either their eyes are not sluggish and flexible, or they can't show ruthlessness, and some are even very nervous when facing the interviewer, in short, all of them are denied.

In the evening, all the little girls and their parents who participated in the audition had already left, and several interviewers were still in the hotel conference room and could not take care of eating, and the issue had been discussed, and this little girl actor was obviously more difficult to find than expected.

As the saying goes, 'I only see thieves eating meat and don't see thieves being beaten', it's really like this, many people envy those celebrities and the like, how much salary they make, how many fans they have, what scale of treatment they have wherever they go, etc., etc., etc., but who would think about it, these people often pay several times or even more than ten times the efforts and hardships of ordinary people in order to get those glory, including this kind of mixed world with innate cheats, and they can't escape this link.

Not to mention how hard it is for these people, but also Mo Fei, Luc Besson, Honggu, Jean Reno, and a part-time assistant director who is responsible for coordinating the styling and other work, the five of them are full of worries about the next day's casting, and are discussing what to do if they can't find a suitable actor.

"If there are no suitable actors tomorrow morning, let's expand the selection range a bit, and young actors from the United Kingdom, Germany, and Spain can all be found, or actors from Northern Europe and the United States can also be considered, but in this case, the audition will be delayed for a long time." After reading the script, Jean Reno was very interested in this film, and he was very motivated to participate in all the activities, and he was quite anxious when the casting did not go well.

The assistant director just made some suggestions, or you just want to see how everyone arranges it, and he just does it after he finishes, at this time, of course, he can tell who is the main master, looked at Mo Fei, and said: "But in this case, it will delay Mr. Mo too much time, can you ask a friend in the industry to introduce it, this will also shorten the time a lot." ”

"It's okay", Mo Fei shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you don't choose the right actor within the set time, I believe you can do it well." If it's really hard to find, the requirements for performance can't be lowered, or the upper age limit can be adjusted slightly, this problem shouldn't be big. ”

Speak of the Tao and speak of good spirits. Luc Besson is capable of directing, it will not be worse than others at all, I don't know what I thought, I smiled and said to Mo Fei: "Mo, if this little girl is Chinese." Or the Oriental face, do you think it's feasible, then we will have a wider range of options, maybe you can have the right candidate, I think the little actor in "Samantha" is good, you should have the right person, right? ”

Let's be honest. Mo Fei didn't think about using a little Chinese girl to play this role. In this era of poor information, the way people understand a country or region is sometimes through movies. This is also why many people will say that Zhang Guoshi will only take out the hard and simple side of Huaxia in exchange for awards, so that fans around the world have a biased understanding of Huaxia, instead of pushing out the advanced and modern sides of Huaxia to win glory for Huaxia.

He was deeply sympathetic to Zhang Guoshi's carrying of this black cauldron, but he also took this as a warning. It's not much to express something rustic. It's just a backward statement, but to make a scene of a little Chinese girl advocating violence, he is quite unwilling, in case someone says this, it will have a negative impact on him and Phoenix culture.

shook his head and said, "I don't think about the Chinese characters, no matter how I feel from the camera." Or from the aspect of the smooth development of the story, it will have an impact on the film, mainly from the perspective of European children, if it doesn't work, you can use the United States, but it must be a white actor, and black people can't do it. If the election is really difficult, I will go to the United States in some time and pay more attention to it in the United States when the time comes. ”

In the end, several people decided to expand the range of options from the afternoon of the next day, and the upper age limit was adjusted to under the age of thirteen. In this way, there is a lot of choice, and if you can't choose from some surrounding countries, I believe you should be able to find a suitable actor.

At ten o'clock in the morning of the next day, there was still no one who could feel it, looking at the little girl who was performing in front of him. All five of them thought it was time to expand the scope. A staff member walked in and whispered a few words in Luc Besson's ear, who nodded noncommittally and let the man out.

After waiting for the young actors who were auditioning in addition to the conference room, Luc Besson said to Mo Fei and the others: "I just came to a young actor who is said to be good, he is from an acting family, he began to participate in stage performances at a very young age, and he has also had the experience of film performance, his height, age and image are very eligible, and the staff said that he looks very good, maybe we don't have to be so troublesome." ”

Regardless of whether the parents of this little actor want to follow the Luc Besson relationship, as long as it is really suitable, Mo Fei will not refuse such a thing, sometimes between people with close relationships, many things will be convenient and more convenient to deal with, which is also one of the reasons why many big directors like to use their own queen actors, nodded and said: "Then let the latter wait for a while to see if this child is suitable, if it is really suitable, we can rest next." ”

Luc Besson saw that Mo Fei's eyes seemed to have some content, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook it, and said: "Don't get me wrong, I have nothing to do with this little actor's family at all, but the staff thinks it's more suitable, but maybe it's going to be an audition in the afternoon, so let's say hello first and ask if we can meet this kid before the end of the morning." ”

"Then bring someone in first, I think everyone must be tired of this." Honggu's identity is the producer of this movie, and she has enough right to speak, and to some extent, she is more effective than Mo Fei.

After a while, a little girl pushed open the door and walked into the conference room, not being reminded by her parents like other children, or just bowing to show politeness, but giving a ladylike salute to the five people in front of her, and then saying: "Hello ladies and gentlemen, my name is Marion Cotillard, I am ten years old this year, but I will soon be eleven years old......"

Mo Fei and Honggu can play or not, they all have to be translated through Luc Besson and Jean Reynaud around them. But now Mo Fei doesn't need a translator at all, looking at the girl in front of him, Mo Fei keeps shouting in his heart, this day and a half has not been in vain, I really let myself pick up the treasure.

When Mo Fei heard the girl say her name, she knew who she was even if she didn't know French. Especially the iconic mole on the forehead, it can be determined with a thousand percent, and the heroine of this film is none other than her.

A pair of round deer eyes and big double eyelids make her not look like a typical European beauty. But on her face, she doesn't look clumsy at all, and even has a feeling of longing for brilliance, full of aura. When she grows up, she will be a sexy furnace with a fiery aura that will appeal to any man.

Marion Cotillard. His mother is a famous French stage actor, his father is a theater director, he has been performing on stage before he is weaned, and he has been participating in film performances since he was five years old. In the history of the previous life, there were many popular films. The "Crazy Taxi" series, "The Long Marriage", "The Public Enemy", etc., as well as the infinitely reverie "Rust and Bone" ......, and this is the future Oscar-winning actress.

A "La Vie en Rose" brought her to the peak of her acting career, the Oscar for Best Actress, the Golden Globe Award, the British Academy Film Award, the French César Award, and the European Film Award for Best Actress, all of which became her bag. In addition, she is also known for her excellent performance in other films. won the César Award for Best Supporting Actress, the Chopin Award for Best New Actor, etc., and is definitely one of the future figures in the world film industry.

In Mo Fei's memory, Marion Cotillard should have only started in the mid-nineties, and he originally thought that he would find a way to find someone when the time came, but he didn't expect it to come out of nowhere. Now that it's already here. Of course, it is impossible to let go of such an actor who is bound to become popular, signing it is a necessary task, and then arranging her to be stricter in roles, and when she grows up, she can be of great use.

Could it be that he was already immersed in the West Garden, which occasionally won a huge treasure, and he didn't even know what Marion Cotillard said behind her, and what she performed, and when the little girl finished performing and everyone was waiting for him to express her opinion, she was quietly pushed by Honggu before she came back to her strength.

At this time, what else is there to say, do you still have to refuse. Immediately nodded approvingly, and said, "Yes, this kid is really good, it seems that we are still relatively lucky, if everyone is okay." Let's just decide, and then we can start choosing other actors. ”

After the little actress was chosen, the other actors were well chosen, and the only one who Luc Besson was not very sure about Gary Oldman, was also affirmed after the audition.

The casting has been completed, and the rest is that Mo Fei doesn't need to care too much, the people from Hong Kong have arrived in France, and Li Lu in the United States has also arranged the corresponding filming matters, just waiting for the crew to go to the United States to shoot after the indoor footage in France is completed.

Marion Cotillard has also been persuaded and tempted by Mo Fei to use Honggu as an example, and officially signed a contract to become a signed actor of Phoenix Culture, this sign is a fifteen-year long contract, but in everyone's opinion, with Mo Fei's golden signboard, fifteen years is still very cost-effective, and Mo Fei can return to Hong Kong.

……

When Mo Fei and Honggu returned to Hong Kong, it was almost ten days after the end of the Cannes Film Festival, although the popularity of the awards in the media and fans has also dropped a lot, but the double actresses of Cannes and Berlin still attracted a lot of attention, and Mo Fei, the actor in the center of the pink storm, will not be less cared for.

The entertainment industry and the media will never be separated, but they know this very well, of course, it is impossible to do anything to make media friends angry. Let Wu Long communicate with the media, arrange a fairly large media meeting, and then accept exclusive interviews with several big media outlets, which can be regarded as satisfying the appetite of the media, and then it is time to get busy with serious things.

Honggu's work is also very heavy, the new film "Monster Mother-in-law" has to be filmed in a hurry, the recording of "Miss Asia" has to be attended regularly, and at the end of the month, she has to go to the United States with Mo Fei to attend the screening of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith".

It's even more difficult here, and several film crews have to visit the class to show that he, the boss, cares about the actors and staff; The two Taiwanese dramas on ATV's side are also the same, and they have to appear a few times, and there are ingredients for ATV to watch, so you can't let people say that you, a collaborator, don't pay attention to ATV's side; The three talent shows are the top priority, and most of the talent mining and training of Phoenix Culture are pointed here, which is one of the big plans related to their future, and they can't be taken lightly.

ATV's two Taiwanese celebration dramas have some new actors. There are newcomers who appeared in last year's talent show, some recruited by Phoenix Culture, and some defected from wireless. Wu Jiali is one of the actors who came from wireless, this actor was actually introduced by Andy Lau, when Wu Jiali was in the wireless training class. is a classmate in the same period as Andy Lau, and he is more righteous, and his personality is a bit arrogant, and Andy Lau is also more helpful, and he personally found Mo Fei to help intercede.

Originally, after the expiration of the contract of wireless, he would join the crew of Lin Lingdong's "Dragon and Tiger". Wu Jiali, who started the road to the big screen, can be regarded as one of the artists who will be influenced by Mo Fei in the future.

Because Zhou Yan is now too famous, much more fierce than in his previous life, he has a certain status in the global film industry, although he is not as strong as Honggu, but he is already a top existence among Asian actors. The salary has long been incomparable, and "Dragon and Tiger" can't afford to hire him as the leading actor.

Without Zhou Yan, the lineup of that film would have shrunk a lot, and Wu Jiali, who had a lot of ideas in her heart, would naturally not go to a crew that didn't have much hope, and joining Phoenix Culture was the best choice at the moment.

Mo Fei knows very well what changes his appearance has brought to the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and even the global entertainment industry in the future. And how many people's lives will be affected. So when facing some actors, as long as there is still something to dig out of their own strength, or they are not the kind of guy who will only bring disaster to the company, he will most likely sign it and use it, to be honest, even if he plays a supporting role, it is better than finding some half-baked people.

So when Andy Lau came to help intercede, Mo Fei didn't hesitate much, and Wu Jiali still had energy to wield, so she agreed immediately. Now judging from Wu Jiali's performance in the crew, this actor really did not sign the wrong one. The performance is serious and meticulous, if you have the opportunity, you can consider letting her try it out in Hong Kong movies.

In addition, there is another thing that makes Mo Fei pay more attention, that is, Yu Xiaofan, who is coming from Tomson Film Company. This is a standard new actor, who doesn't have much acting experience, so he has to be trained as a heart for the future. Now as soon as she joins Phoenix Culture, she is the heroine of ATV's celebration drama "Four Youths in Beijing", not to mention anything else, she won't laugh under her own pressure, Mo Fei also specially told director Liang Caiyuan to take special care of this actor.

After watching the crew for a while, Mo Feixian's worries are really a little redundant, an actor who is destined to become a powerful star, without that is not talented enough, let alone Adou who can't be supported. According to Liang Caiyuan, Yu Xiaofan has only been in the crew for a few days, and he has already fully adapted to it, except for some scenes that require special emotion, he needs the director's guidance, and he can deal with ordinary shots calmly, and he is really a natural good actor.

There will be no problems with several film crews, Xu Ke's "Peerless Double Pride" crew has Lin Qingxia and Andy Lau, and Wu Yusen's "The End of the World" is Liu Songren, Yongjiang, Di Lang and others, each crew has a director and actors who are familiar with the road, and there is no chance of any accidents.

At that time, in terms of talent shows, I heard a news that is said to be not very good, this year's wireless rookie competition has also put a lot of effort, and it can't use the model of "Asian Idol", but you can imitate part of it, at least in terms of treatment and rules, you can learn from some of it, and wireless has made a big promise, and there are really more powerful contestants.

I heard that it was a very powerful contestant.,I thought it was a big deal.,I thought about the characters that might appear in my own study.,But I couldn't think of who it would be.,It shouldn't be a player from the big 6 or overseas.。

After knowing the name of that player, he almost burst into laughter, it was actually Su Yongkang, this guy is a bit of strength, can he take it so seriously?

After asking Wu Long, I understood that this Su Yongkang's strength or image really can't be compared with Li Ming on the side of "Asian Idol", even compared with several other female players, there is a certain gap. But there is one thing that this guy is very dominant, because the powerful contestants are basically running on the side of Phoenix Culture, so once there is a hole that can be mined, almost all the resources will be invested in this person's life, which is very hurtful, at least the momentum will be spectacular, which is also a manifestation of an advantage.

However, this can scare the staff a little, and by the way, bring a little pressure to Wu Long's level, but for Mo Fei, he will not feel anything at all. In his previous life, Su Yongkang participated in the 85 rookie competition and won the runner-up. But it won't have a chance to come out until several years later, and now it's just because there is no one on the wireless side to take advantage of.

In order to compete for the ratings of "Asian Idol", or for the quality of next year's registered contestants, Wireless must recommend and boast about this Su Yongkang as a first-class player, so as to create a 'Su Yongkang phenomenon' in a short period of time. and then spent a lot of money to pick up Su Yongkang.

But if it's really the turn of the singer, can you say very proudly that there is anyone more powerful than him in Hong Kong, whether it is means or strength, he has the knowledge of the first thirty years, and he is well-deserved no:1. Not to mention a few students in this year's "Asian Idol" who were selected by Mo Fei. Whether it is image or strength, or even packaging and publicity in the later stage, it is not at all comparable to the rookie competition.

It is normal for the people below to have this kind of worry, and they are also happy to see it, which proves that all the people in the company are wholeheartedly thinking and considering for the company, which is what people want. Such a company has cohesion, and naturally it has impact, which is a good thing.

However, among the top management of the company, few will really worry too much, because there are still means that have not been used. Among last year's contestants, Zhou Huimin and Li Keqin have already released albums, and the market response is very good. Jiang Shuna has also extended the theme song in several dramas, and now she is already a star with a lot of fame. But this is not enough, Famous Craftsman Music will also launch a bombshell this summer, with this year's "Asian Idol", once this bomb is shot, it is guaranteed to blow up all the plans on the wireless side into slag in one fell swoop.

And Mo Fei is more indifferent to the fact that he is supporting Su Yongkang wirelessly, and even has a sense of joy in watching a good show. Mo Fei, who has come over more than 30 years later, knows very well what the future of this Su Yongkang will look like.

Because the personal image is not very good, and the strength is not really excellent. Therefore, there are many restrictions and difficulties in the exhibition, and if Wireless wants to make him popular, it is destined to pay more resources than other artists.

But what will Su Yongkang do in the future, if he can't achieve popularity, let's not talk about it, if wireless will keep praising him. In the future, I will definitely be disappointed and vomit blood. This is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the future exhibition route is in the direction of addicts, and then we will have to see what kind of face wireless is.

Although it's a bit schadenfreude to think like this, and it's a little immoral, but there's no way to do it, can you let him stare at someone Su and warn him not to touch those things from time to time?

People who can become addicts are definitely people who are not determined, have poor self-control, and cannot be tempted. In the big quagmire of the entertainment industry, there will never be a chance to contact those things, and there will be a large number of relevant practitioners who will focus on the entertainment industry, and it is impossible to prevent it.

What can be done is to strictly supervise and warn the artists of Phoenix Culture that they are absolutely not allowed to touch those things, otherwise they will be hidden or even banned indefinitely; In addition, through their social relations and status, it is strictly forbidden for those guys to reach out to the Phoenix Culture. As for the artists of other companies, or passers-by, they really don't have that power, nor do they have the ability to manage, and the underworld is not opened by the surname Mo, is it?

Of course, these things can't be said, just make a statement, so that everyone in the company doesn't have to worry, that's all. Next, he has to arrange a few other things, the new comic "Garbled 1/2" has been officially published and sold, this kind of comic has not appeared in Hong Kong before, and there is not even the same thing in the comic industry, and the sales are quite good.

And this summer of '86, Mo Fei also plans to publish a new comic to lay the foundation for a small layout in the future. And this new comic is to change the fighting game "Street Fighter" launched by Capcom in Japan in 87 years, fundamentally change, separate into multiple small stories, and when the comics form a trend, you can launch related games yourself, and then adapt them into movies.

This method of all-out attack is officially the favorite and most profitable way for American film companies, such as the "Batman" series of movies, as well as the "Man" series of movies, all of which play this mode. To this end, Warner Inc. also acquired one of the top comic book companies in the United States, dnetbsp; Phoenix Culture is not qualified to acquire a top comic company now, so why not start from scratch and play a new company by yourself, with so many classic comics and classic games in the memory of your previous life, you believe that your Phoenix Comics Club can definitely become one of the top comic companies, and it will also bring a large number of movie story themes to Phoenix Culture. And then through the film to turn these themes into fragrant money, as well as the influence of the global comic and film industry.

As for the derivative games from the comics, Hong Kong does not yet have the strength to produce them, so they can only start from Japan as they did in their previous lives, and the best way is to buy a Japanese game company and then find an agency to do it. Even the candidates for this agency. It's all already thought about it, it's Honami Suzuki's father. The first is that the relationship between Honami is relatively more trustworthy, and the second is that I have slept with other girls, so I have to say something to some extent, don't you? [8o93]

However, the style of this "Street Fighter" is different from the comics that Mo Fei took out before, and there will be more aspects involved. And it's all my own story.,It's not very easy to find a painter to do the illustration and only be responsible for making up the story like before.。

Therefore, these earliest volumes can only be done by himself, and after he has developed a certain foundation, he will choose to find a gunman. What we need to do now is to take out some of the early characters first. Promote it with a few other comics first, and you can also do some preliminary publicity on TV and newspapers, and then wait until you have a deal at hand to deal with it before it is officially launched, but there is no rush for a while, and maybe it can make this comic more popular.

After arranging the things in Hong Kong and handling the affairs of the various program groups and crews, it was time to set off again, taking the director of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" Du Qifeng and the heroine Zhong Chuhong, on a flight to Los Angeles to prepare to participate in the screening.

……

The Colombian side has done a lot of work on the film. The screening was very big and successful, and almost all the major media in the United States arrived, especially the media that played a key role in the promotion of the film.

After the screening, the crew members also participated in a lot of TV program promotions. Even several radio programs have been chartered to promote the movie, which has never been seen in all the previous film promotions of Phoenix Culture.

I have to say that successful movies essentially have their own outstanding points of supervision, just like this "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which integrates the essence of Western action movies, gunfight movies and Eastern kung fu films, it is simply a blockbuster with great blockbuster ability, plus the popular actress Zhong Chuhong and the widely watched Brosnan starring, there is no need to worry about the box office problem at all.

Honggu and Du Qifeng still have films to shoot, and after only participating in some promotional activities in California and New York three days ago, they returned to Hong Kong to continue filming, and the rest of the promotional activities were all handed over to Brosnan and others and the staff of Colombia to complete, and even Mo Fei had to attend, of course, in order to make the box office better and earn more money, everyone had no complaints.

The results of the film are very good, but the troubles that come with it are not without it, and the first thing to find is nBc TV. After the release of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", Brosnan became so popular that nBc felt that he had lost a lot of money and tried to extend his contract.

Of course Brosnan won't do it, fools know their current value, wouldn't it be impossible to get along with themselves if they go to make any TV series, and besides, is it worth doing that.

nBc consulted with Mo Fei again, of course Mo Fei would not agree, and it was a fool to use his own resources to do good things to the other party. If it weren't for Brosnan's contract, he wouldn't necessarily cooperate with nBc. The contract has been signed, so there is no going back. Of course, nBc just tried it, and after being rejected, he didn't have any ideas.

But MGM was also more and more moved, and found nBnetBc again to inform him that Brosnan had been transferred to Phoenix Culture America, so MGM found Mo Fei.
