Chapter 234, absolutely shocking
This is Mo Fei, the gold medal producer of the famous Xiangjiang, Wei Jiahui sat opposite Mo Fei, rubbing his hands back and forth under the table, his heart was always a little unstable, full of expectations for this meeting with Mo Fei, and a little nervous.
After Du Qifeng took Wei Jiahui to Mo Fei's office, he left by himself, he still had a script to study, although the structure of this "Ace Spy" is relatively simple, it is not so easy to make a good movie.
Looking at this Wei Jiahui, the screenwriter of this wireless station, the future famous director, at this time he was only a young man in his early twenties, but the rigor and sensitivity in his personality could already be reflected, except for saying hello to Mo Fei, he never said anything.
"Who called Wei Xiaobao first, have you ever been disgusted by others calling you that?" Mo Fei spoke, but instead of saying anything related to work, he asked his own questions like a gossip reporter.
Wei Jiahui really didn't expect that someone like Mo Fei would ask such a question, and he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, and said: "I don't remember very well, it seems that everyone thought of ideas together at the beginning, and then I came up with more, and then some people said that I was as weird as Wei Xiaobao, and then the teacher said that it was okay." In fact, I thought that this nickname was likely to have a derogatory component, but the teachers said so, I was still the youngest brother at that time, how could I be qualified to oppose it, but it doesn't matter now, it's just a title. ”
If you ask like this, you see that Wei Jiahui is more nervous, and say something casually to ease the atmosphere, otherwise he may be even more uncomfortable when he talks.
Now that the atmosphere has eased a little, then we can talk about business, and said: "What is the specific matter, Qifeng should have told you, there are too many things on my side now, and many screenwriters can't take care of their work, I hope a good screenwriter can join in and help me share this work." When he recommended you to me. Saying that you have also been exposed to some director's work, I wonder if you can also take care of the director, first follow other directors for a period of time, and then direct some TV episodes independently. If you have the idea of developing into the film side, as long as you have achieved your own ability, I will also give you support. In the future, the road of Hong Kong films will definitely get wider and wider, and there will be opportunities for you to develop. So now it depends on what you think, if you are willing to work in Phoenix Culture, I will definitely give you support. But now that you've arrived at Phoenix Culture, you can't have any ideas about wireless anymore, which you should understand very well. ”
It's a bit like the legendary Mo Fei. Speak straight without beating around the bush, even if you remind yourself that you can't make a two-way choice, you will say it directly, rather than using a hint that is so subtle that it is likely to be incomprehensible.
Wei Jiahui thought about it before he came, nodded subconsciously, and said, "I understand, Mr. Mo, Brother Feng also told me." Mr. Mo has always taken good care of his subordinates and has been a strong supporter of his career, so I decided to join Phoenix Culture. But I still have a little work to do at wireless, and it may take about a week before I can report on Phoenix Culture, I hope you can understand, Mr. Mo. ”
The more disciplined and principled people are like this, the more they like to use it, nodded with a smile, and said, "This is as it should be." Even if you want to come to Phoenix Culture, since you have taken the current job, you will naturally have to complete it before you can leave, this is the attitude towards work, and it is also the foundation of being a person and doing things, and you can do this very well. Just go and do what you are doing now, when it will be done. When to report, as long as you work hard, I guarantee that you will be able to become the director of a TV series within two years, and when you are strong enough to control a movie. The position of film director is ready for you, and the most important thing for Phoenix culture is opportunity. ”
After speaking, he took out a brief story outline and handed it to Wei Jiahui, and then said: "I have a story outline, you can take a look at it first and think about how to enrich the content in it, and tell me about it later, and by the way, also meet your future colleagues, maybe you still know this person before." ”
As he was talking, the door of the office was pushed open by the secretary Yi Nan from the outside, and there was Xu Anhua and another young man behind him when he walked in, and said, "Mr. Mo, Director Xu and Mr. Liu are here." ”
"Oh, okay." Mo Fei glanced at the young man who was following Xu Anhua and said, "Xiao Nan, let's make two cups of tea, thank you!" ”
Yi Nan answered and left, and Xu Anhua began to introduce Mo Fei, saying: "Mr. Mo, this is the Liu Weiqiang I said, who used to do photography at the Wei family. ”
Xu Anhua's introduction is very simple, he didn't say anything about Liu Weiqiang's current situation, nor did he say anything more about recommending it, whether he uses this person or not, he will have a decision, and with Xu Anhua's understanding, as long as he is a talent, he will definitely not let it go.
After Liu Weiqiang was introduced by Xu Anhua, he also took the initiative to say hello to Mo Fei: "Hello Mr. Mo, I am Liu Weiqiang, and my main thing is to do photography, just call me Ah Qiang." ”
"Okay, Ah Qiang, you sit down for a while, and I'll have a few words with Director Xu." Mo Fei pointed to the chair in front of the desk and asked Liu Weiqiang to sit down, took out a piece of paper full of writing and looked at it, and said to Xu Anhua: "I forgot to say it during the morning meeting, Director Xu, add another paragraph to the last shot of your film, that is, how to understand the question of women's minds and the answer that can only be a special function, you will shoot this theme in the next film." ”
Last time, at the end of "Taiping Mountain" directed by Xu Anhua, the actor was asked to watch "The Silence of the Lambs", which was the eyeball of the movie that Mo Fei was preparing to direct, and now he has to add something to the film, which is also a preview of another film, Xu Anhua understands it, but this is the concept.
smiled and said: "Mr. Mo, you can always be ingenious, I'm afraid you will cause a big discussion about it again, if every film can do this, it will be a miracle in the history of movies." ”
Mo Fei shrugged his shoulders and said that he was also helpless, and said: "It's too difficult to do this for every part, but as long as the company's planning is good enough, it is not difficult to do some of it, which can be regarded as giving the audience some other fun besides watching movies, I think everyone should like it." ”
In fact, since "Taiping Mountain", Mo Fei has been doing this, originally just planned to play in that film, and wait until the end of the year to start adding hidden trailers in this batch of films, but the liars at that time had not yet completed filming, so Mo Fei simply added all of them.
In "Die Hard", Bruce Willis said to Honggu at the end, "You used to want to be Miss Beauty Pageant", at the end of "Kindergarten SWAT", he said that there was a new sister in office, at the end of "Meet My Father-in-law", the old secret agent's father-in-law said "Agent is a profession that can save mankind", the scene of the male protagonist eating pears at the end of "City of Angels" is a few girls playing basketball in Beijing, and in the scene of "Samantha" The plastic bag flying at the end of the film has a "Mr. Sweetheart" posted on the wall The black-and-white hand-drawn poster, and at the end of "Tricky Expert", a newspaper headline "The University of Hong Kong Cleaner Is a Mathematical Genius" also appeared.
All these hints are positive, which correspond to several new films released by Phoenix Culture at the end of the year, "Miss Beauty Pageant", "Xinzha Senior Sister", "Ace Big Spy", "Pink Alliance", "Mr. Sweetheart", and "Soul Catcher". After "The Silence of the Lambs" is released in North America, a reporter will "discover" that this movie is adapted from the last book that the male protagonist of "Taiping Mountain" reads; Then it was "discovered" again, "Miss Beauty Pageant" was also teased in the summer film "Die Hard", then the next thing is that the previous scammers are constantly studied, and then the year-end scammers are studied, and these studies can bring the popularity and box office of related movies.
Xu Anhua said two more words and left, and by the way, he gave Yi Nan the ending preview arranged by Mo Fei for other films, and asked her to distribute it to the directors.
The conversation between Mo Fei and Xu Anhua seems so normal, but in the ears of Wei Jiahui and Liu Weiqiang, the effect is completely different, and it can be described as stormy waves.
What a crazy thing it is to preview the theme of the next film in a film, think about the film industry in Hong Kong today, how many films are directors who pat their heads and think of a story, and then prepare to shoot, many crews don't even have a script, but Phoenix Culture can do it at the end of the film, and the gap here can be imagined.
And listening to Mo Fei's words, it seems that there is not just one film, but there will be trailer clips in several films, that is to say, Phoenix Culture is making a few films now, and at least the same number of films will be ready in the future, and they can be used to start work at any time.
It is no wonder that Phoenix Culture can make such high achievements in more than a year, occupying half of the Hong Kong film market, and the former behemoth is completely forced to stop production, and even Golden Harvest and Golden Princess can only choose to cooperate with Phoenix Culture. With such a domineering boss, such a long-term deployment and plan, and even the means of publicity and hype are so ingenious, it is strange that it cannot be done like this.
Mo Fei's conversation with Xu Anhua was an unintentional move, just in time for Mo Fei to forget about the task of discussing the assistant director candidate in the morning, and now he will talk about it by the way.
But Wei Jiahui and Liu Weiqiang, who were sitting on the side, were completely shocked, and they sincerely admired Mo Fei, who had already made up their minds to follow Mo Fei at that time, so that when the film industry was quite developed in the future, they never gave birth to even a trace of self-reliance.
