Chapter 270, Naughty Stewardess

Bruce Willis, a new generation of American people's hero, has fallen at the box office without the partner of Honggu; And the newly promoted Pierce Brosnan and Honggu co-starred, but it was a huge success at the box office; In this way, the value of Honggu is fully reflected.

Mo Fei's plan is a little unfair to Bruce Willis, after all, no one will be happy to be used as a pawn in the plan, but fortunately, Willis himself doesn't know, and he can't think about so many problems when he first became popular, and he is already very happy to be able to play more positive hero roles in movies than previous TV series roles.

And the income from the movie "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is even more worry-free. The production cost of the 80s version of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" is more than 20 million US dollars, and it is less than one-fifth of the previous life.

Mo Fei has also struggled with the selection of directors for a long time, the original director of this film, Doug Leman, is still studying hard in the ivory tower for a better tomorrow and the human film industry, Wu Yusen's "Pirates of Malacca" preparations are at a critical juncture, and other Hollywood directors he can't find anything suitable at present, and finally think about it can only use Du Qifeng first, I believe that with the help of the storyboard script, Du Qifeng is still competent.

As for what film to find David Hasselhoff to play, of course, it is "Coastal Lifeguard", which is popular all over the world and has attracted more than a billion viewers. The series was originally launched by NBC four years later, and now it is used to make NBC money, which is not an ordinary feeling of pleasure.

"Coastal Lifeguard" has been filmed for a total of eleven seasons, and the theme of the story is very simple, that is, a large group of handsome guys and beauties in swimsuits go back and forth to save people. But each episode tells a separate story, involving almost all aspects of life, and regardless of the size and type of the story, several people who fell into the water must be rescued in each episode, and the work of a coastal lifeguard has been filmed for more than 200 episodes.

The story is indeed good, but the most eye-catching thing about this drama is not the story itself, but the female lifeguards running on the beach in swimsuits. The combination of sand and beauty will never lose its appeal, and the producers have relied on the lineup of female lifeguards that change every season to grab more than a billion viewers in more than 100 countries around the world, creating a classic series with the highest ratings in the history of TV dramas.

In the 90s of the previous life, two seasons were also introduced in China, and I don't know how many teenagers' eyes were blown up, but it was also one of them. Mo Fei remembers that after watching two seasons, he began to ask everywhere if there were any sequels to watch, and it was not until the end of the nineties that he asked his classmates who studied abroad to buy a disc to watch, and one VCD per episode is more than 200 copies, which cost a lot of money.

The most profitable in this series in the previous life is the actor David Hasselhoff, NBC doesn't know which tendon is uncomfortable, and after a season of filming, the series will be scrapped, Hasselhoff feels that this show is very interesting, so he self-raised funds to buy the rights and start production, and finally made a lot of money.

This series can be said to be quite powerful in TV dramas, not only the number of viewers is incomparable, the ability to attract money is terrifying and exaggerated, and the star-making ability brought by changing a few female players every season is not comparable to other dramas.

The reason why he chose this show to contribute to NBC is also the idea of killing many birds with one stone. The first is to open the dramas of Phoenix Culture into the American TV station, and secondly, you can make money from the TV station, and at the same time make money, you can achieve the purpose of star-making. There is really no better choice than this series, and in a few years, this series will be able to bring greater benefits and added value to Mo Fei.

It's just that this is going to be bitter David Hasselhoff, in his previous life, he made a lot of money through this show, but in this life, he can only work for Phoenix Culture as the leading actor. If it weren't for the fact that the TV series also needs an actor who can hold down the position to ensure the ratings and future sales of the series, and he happens to have a lot of loyal viewers in the United States and Europe, this actor would not have his turn.

And finding Ron Pullman to star in a very classic drama series is also a very classic series, inspired by the famous eighteenth-century writer Madame Beaumont's work "Beauty and the Beast" of the same name, which was introduced to China in the nineties and called "Chivalrous Lion".

The purpose of filming this drama, making money or anything is secondary, the most important point is to let everyone know this story, and then when Phoenix Culture launches the movie version of "Beauty and the Beast" later, the effect will be able to appear.

is also to match the purpose of the movie, this TV version of "Beauty and the Beast" will use Lin Qingxia as the heroine, replacing the original heroine Linda Hamilton, that is, the one who played Sarah Connor in "The Terminator". (Personally, I think that even from a Western aesthetic point of view, Lin is prettier than Linda.) )

The reason for this is actually very simple, that is, because Mo Fei is not very confident in the movie version of "Beauty and the Beast", in the history he traveled through, but without this film, he would not be able to find a reference and comparison at all.

France and the United States filmed "Beauty and the Beast" in the 40s and 10s of the 21st century respectively, but they were all filmed according to the original book, which is completely different things. Australia has also made one, but it has been changed to be more evil than the original book, and there is more and more nothing to learn from.

Therefore, it is necessary to take out this series in advance, first establish the impression of such a story in the hearts of the audience, and also push out the image of Lin Qingxia, and then release the movie will be more guaranteed.

Of course, it would be even more beautiful if this series could be nominated for Best Drama in the end, as it was in the history of the previous life, and then win an award for Best Actor or Actress.

But these are Mo Fei's thoughts in his heart, of course, he won't tell others, and after putting down his thoughts, he repeated what he just said: "If there is nothing to do, then just disperse like this, and please leave the work here to everyone." ”

Others are nothing, there is a little pressure on somewhat, just like all employees, I can't wait for the boss to be by my side, and the farther away the better.

But Li Lu is different, he followed Mo Yousen all the way, he and Lian Bo, Chen Pu and a few others, for Mo Fei have a feeling that others who joined later will not have, Mo Fei said that he was leaving, he was really a little reluctant. He asked, "Why do you have to go back to Hong Kong so soon, and don't you stay in Los Angeles for a few more days?" ”

"Well, don't mention it." Could it be that Li Lu was also different, waving his hand and saying: "Some time ago when I was filming "The Silence of the Lambs", I don't know how the news that I was the director myself leaked out, and the people who signed up in the crew were about to burst the room, but how can a thriller film use all big stars, even if the audience in the United States doesn't understand, but Hong Kong people know it, won't they laugh at me in the future, so I can only put these people in the New Year film to make a cameo, then this New Year film will be my business again." ”

Li Lu also heard Lian Bo talk about this when he called back to Hong Kong, and now he remembered it as soon as he mentioned it, he smiled, and said: "Then there are so many more people in this year's Chinese New Year films, I think you have to work harder, and half of the box office is probably not enough, right?" ”

Mo Fei spread his arms out and said: "Since then, I have been thinking about what kind of film I should make in order to fit so many people and earn enough box office, which is really a headache." Some time ago, I just thought of the content of the film and wrote the script, so I have to go back to Hong Kong to shoot it quickly, everyone is busy at the end of the year, and today and tomorrow will be done, and it will be almost the end of the year. ”

The two of them chatted in Cantonese, and only Wu Long, who was sitting next to Mo Fei, and Mak Jiaqiang, who was opposite, could understand what it meant, whether it was Frank or Catherine or Bruce and Pierce, each of them knew what it meant.

After chatting for a while, he found that the five foreign devils were staring at them with wide eyes, and Li Lu explained what he had just talked about instead of Mo Fei, which roughly meant what it meant. It also specifically explained that this is a model similar to the traditional Chinese red envelope, so it will be more convenient to communicate in Chinese, etc.

Sometimes foreign devils will care about this very much, everyone speaks English, but the two of you have to communicate in Cantonese, which will give people a sense of distrust and exclusion, which needs to be paid attention to. If there were more than a dozen foreign devils present at this time, then there would be people who would speak out against it.

After listening to Li Lu's explanation, the four foreign devils know how happy the people of Hong Kong's Phoenix culture are, the boss will make a movie at the end of the year, and then take out at least half of the box office revenue to give everyone red envelopes, this kind of boss can't dream of in the United States.

But now there is one, isn't it, but the American Phoenix Culture is now only in their early twenties, and what kind of movie is made by such a few people, it's almost the same as making a sitcom, even if there is, it will have to wait for later.

Looking at the eyes of the four people opposite, I know that they must be envious of the Hong Kong company, and the money is not secondary, mainly because they can get more care from the company and work together with everyone to integrate into one thing.

It's just that this kind of thing really can't be done in the United States. Chinese New Year films are basically released in Chinese-speaking areas, and even if the box office is taken out, it will not be too much, but how terrifying the box office in the United States is, if it is done well, it will be hundreds of millions of dollars in box office revenue, how much will it be to take half of it, and at least it will be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

It's not that I'm so stingy that I don't want to share the money, but we have to take into account more comprehensive factors, first of all, the issue of the Hong Kong dollar and the extinct exchange rate will cause great psychological unfairness, and if you pay like this in the United States, it will spoil the actors and staff, which is not a good trend.

But looking at the four people in front of him, he couldn't hit them directly, so he had to change his way and said: "This is a unique Chinese tradition, when the new year comes, the child congratulates the elders on the New Year, and then the elders will give the child a red envelope to do some encouragement." We Chinese have a saying that the person who brings you income is the parent who feeds and dresses you, so we will congratulate these parents during the Chinese New Year, and the box office they give is regarded as a red envelope given by the elders. If any of you want to participate, I can arrange roles in the film, but it is not necessarily that the protagonist is the worst possible to play the beggar, and the red envelope can only be in Hong Kong dollars, and will not be given to you in US dollars. ”

In the end, Mo Fei was chosen as the New Year's film "Love Actually", a good movie that may be a little avant-garde, but absolutely classic, will make people feel love, and can bring warmth.

In other words, I really thought about it, so that the actors on the American side also participated in this Chinese New Year film. Originally, the film was a British film, and one of them was about the love between the British Prime Minister and the tea secretary, which can be adapted into a joke about the governor of Hong Kong, so let Pierce Brosnan play the governor of Hong Kong, and several other people can also have corresponding roles.

But in the end, Mo Fei still couldn't help but do it, and now it's really happy to shoot for a while, and he can sell a few more box office money, but this film is one of the films he wants to use in the future, and he will be worried about the future of filming a combination of Chinese and Western. And if you are going to make a "Love Actually" with a strong oriental flavor, if you let the ghost guy be the protagonist, it will also affect the feeling of the movie itself, if they are willing to participate, it is no problem to give a supporting role or passerby A who does not violate the harmony to participate, this is making a Hong Kong movie, Zhou Yunfa and Zhang Guorong are not also running in the New Year film.

arranged all the things that needed to be filmed in the United States, and the next day he asked the company's car to take him to San Francisco to take a plane back to Hong Kong, and it was already mid-November, and it would be too late if the Chinese New Year film didn't start again.

After Mo Fei said that he could participate in the Hong Kong New Year film, all the people from Phoenix Culture Company in the United States asked to participate, I don't know if the actors and directors wanted to participate, and the other staff members were also interested, including the staff member Frank who liked to make sycophants.

It's really hard to crack down on these people's positive surnames, no matter how you say it, it's a lively thing for everyone to do, let them participate this year, and they won't be able to do it next year. The company is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people, so how big a movie can put everyone in, is it difficult to put a war movie out for the New Year.

Until I got on the plane, I was still driving == Thinking about how to arrange roles for these people, taxi drivers, airport staff, waiters, etc., it is really not easy to insert actors in a script that has already arranged roles.

In order to avoid the impact of jet lag, I hardly slept the night before, and waited for the plane to catch up on sleep, so as to minimize the impact of jet lag.

After the plane took off, he began to sleep, and he didn't know how long he slept, so he woke up in a daze and asked Ah Huo, who was sitting behind him, and it turned out that he had been asleep for more than seven hours.

I've slept enough, I'm in good spirits, and I'm idle next, so I'm just taking advantage of this time to write something out and sort out some plans for the near future.

After going to the bathroom to wash up briefly, he just turned back to the entrance of the cabin and almost collided with a flight attendant.

It's really rare for a passenger to apologize to the flight attendant, and the flight attendant who was knocked down was just about to take the fault back on her head, but when she looked up and saw it, she was suddenly stunned for a moment, and that kind of look couldn't tell what it felt, just apologized briefly and then ran away.

Could it be that I was baffled by the reaction of this flight attendant, wasn't it just that I was bumped, I don't need to behave like this, as if I was being insulted, this is to ensure that someone on the street looks at him with the same eyes.

said that the flight attendant over there, she was not shy or anything, but rushed back to the flight attendant's work area, opened a magazine delivered on the plane, and quickly turned the pages one by one.

After turning the page I was looking for, I saw the young man dressed in Chinese clothes on it, it was really him, I really didn't expect him to appear on this flight, I must ask him to sign his name.

"Nancy, what are you doing, who told you to hide here and read magazines during working hours, so that other colleagues can see what they say about you?" An older flight attendant suddenly appeared behind the flight attendant and almost scared her into dropping the magazine on the floor.

"Ah, Sister Xiaoxiao, no, purser." The flight attendant was a little panicked in fright, and the names were all wrong, and after a pause, she said, "Guess who I just saw?" ”

The purser is obviously used to this kind of thing, and when he was asked by the flight attendant, he said in a very indifferent tone: "Who did you see, what kind of big star or something, it's normal to meet a star on the plane, what's all the fuss, you just went to work and it will be fresh, you don't feel it after a long time, go and work hard." ”

"No, Sister Xiaoxiao, this person is very different." The stewardess looked around at no one, and the surname Suo took the purser's arm and said a little coquettishly: "You have watched me grow up since I was a child, don't you know who I am, how could I be so excited when I see a star." This person is much more powerful than a star, and none of the stars in Hong Kong can compare to him and ......"

"Which one are you talking about, Yi Yifu, or what kind of entertainment industry boss? But what's the matter, it has nothing to do with us, so you better do your job honestly. "The purser still has the same attitude, after nearly 20 years of being a flight attendant, he has seen too many big people flying, and ordinary people really don't interest him. No matter who the other party is, it is definitely not as important as work, and it's okay if you don't know any star, but if you don't do a good job, you will be fired, this is the reality.

"Oh, you can hear me finish. It's this person, Mo Fei, Sister Xiaoxiao, you should know, making movies and writing songs are the best, and his comics are also great, what sand painting performances, piano performances, are amazing. The flight attendant simply took out the magazine and pointed to the photo of Mo Fei on it and said to the purser: "You also know that I don't have any feelings for those stars, but this person is different, I am so obsessed with him that I am fascinated to death, I must ask him to sign for me." ”

The purser looked at the photo in the magazine in the flight attendant's hand, still in such an indifferent tone, and said, "Oh, who was I at the time, it turned out to be this playboy." This person is indeed very talented, even more powerful than what you just said, but his most powerful thing is not these, his ability to pick up girls is higher than his ability to make movies. This is not very expensive, even the United States is spreading his scandals, a little girl like you is the easiest to be deceived by people like them, I advise you not to approach him, be careful of what he does to you. ”

"Cut, Sister Xiaoxiao, do you look down on me like that, I'm an excellent student in one of the top universities in the world, and my IQ is far better than others, I may not be able to figure out what I'm doing. I just asked him to sign his name because I liked his movies, music, and comics, and I didn't want to do anything. And my family just introduced me to a boyfriend, and we've just started dating, how can we give someone else a chance, don't worry, I'll sign with him. The flight attendant said with pride and confidence.

The purser is a neighbor of the flight attendant's house, and he was asked by the elders to look at her, but how can this kind of thing be stopped, the surname Suo made everything clear, so he could take himself out, and said: "Yes, you are an excellent student in the world's top universities, but that playboy is no worse than you, and he is also from the top university, and he still took the initiative to give up his studies to do the entertainment industry, it can play so many female stars, and you won't feel tired in Doni, if you fall into it yourself, Don't blame me for not reminding you today. And you also have a boyfriend, you should be sober-minded in everything, you are so obsessed with a strange man, aren't you afraid that he will be unhappy? ”

The flight attendant grimaced at the purser, with an expression that didn't care very much, and said: "This is also testing him, I just appreciate this Mo Fei, and I don't fall in love with Mo Fei, if I can't even accept this, I don't want such a man, I will definitely find a better ......"

As he was talking, he heard the service call prompt, looked at the seat number that happened to be the one where Mo Fei was sitting, hurriedly stuffed the magazine back into the bag, took out a very delicate book and put it in the side pocket of the cart, and said to the purser while pushing out: "Okay, Sister Xiaoxiao, I won't tell you, now the service is just over there, you help me keep an eye on it here, I'll sign it with him and come back soon." ”

The flight attendant pushed the car over, and it was Bao Zhilong, one of Mo Fei's bodyguards, who called for service. Because Mo Fei has encountered a shooting, so even when he arrives on the plane, the bodyguards will be separated into two groups, one to rest and the other to be responsible for Ah safety, now Bao Zhilong is going to sleep, he is personally used to drinking a small sip of wine before going to bed, which must be asked for a flight attendant.

After pouring red wine for Bao Zhilong, the flight attendant happened to be stopped by Mo Fei when she passed by Mo Fei and asked her to help find a few larger pieces of paper.

The stewardess didn't think much about it, she directly took out the delicate book, which happened to be loose-leaf, opened it and took out a few from the back and handed it to Mo Fei, then smiled sweetly and said, "Mr. Mo, can you sign me?" (To be continued)
