The news that he is going to direct a thriller in person has unknowingly reached the ears of many people, which is big news in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

People who got the news began to learn about the relevant specific information through their own channels, and many people who could be related to it expressed their willingness to appear in this film.

"The Silence of the Lambs" has been thinking about how to shoot and produce since Mo Fei purchased the copyright, but it has not been implemented for a long time, even after the hero and heroine are decided, there have been many twists and turns.

Originally, the plan was to use Ren Jinghua, who had just joined the company, as the actor of Hannibal Lycott, and the actor would be easy to say when he made a sequel in the future, and Mo Fei was also very optimistic about Ren Yinghua's future development prospects.

But there are always unfortunate things in the world, Ren Jinghua chose to go to the Hong Kong Academy for Performing Arts to study as an auditor some time ago, and when he came home from school one day, he accidentally injured his wrist and ankle at the same time, and it took at least half a month or so to move freely, and the question of the choice of the actor gave Mo Fei a headache again.

"The Silence of the Lambs" is definitely a good film for actors, and in the previous life, this film won five super awards at the Oscars for Best Picture, Director, Actor and Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay, as well as nominations and dozens of final awards for the Berlin Film Festival and the Saturn Awards, Golden Globe Awards, Caesar Awards, Chicago Film Critics Association Awards, etc., which is the best proof.

As long as you have the storyboard script of the award-winning film in Mo Fei's memory of her previous life, even the most ordinary director can direct this film to a certain level; If it is a director who has a sufficient understanding of the characters and the actor cooperates. That's an absolute blockbuster.

Ren Jinghua's image can walk freely between good and evil, and it is relatively in line with the aesthetic standards of Europeans and Americans. is also one of the actors that the company is ready to support, and has a long acting career, choosing him as the leading actor is the most beneficial decision for the company.

It's the same in terms of directors, including the two sequels to this film, and the not-so-successful "Murder Night", the four directors are all super directors. The director of the last film, Brett Ratner, was promoted to one of Hollywood's most influential directors at the box office with the successful directing of "Red Dragon".

This is also one of the reasons why he did not hand over the film to directors such as Yu Yunkang and Mou Dunfu, Yu Yunkang is destined not to be in the film industry for too long, and Mou Dunfu is a character who is used to causing trouble, such a good film must not have any potential problems.

In the end, he chose to go into battle himself, firstly, because he couldn't find a suitable director, and he was unwilling to hand over the film to Hollywood directors to do; The second is because Phoenix Culture is about to start conquering Hollywood. As the leader of Phoenix Culture, he must be recognized in more aspects by the North American and even global film market. in order to be able to bring greater benefits and benefits to the company.

Ren Jinghua's injury even made Mo Fei want to postpone the filming of this film and release it during Halloween next year, but there are plans for the coming year, and it is not cost-effective to disrupt the plan for a film.

But there is indeed no other actor in the company who is suitable for this role, Wu Zhenyu is indeed good at playing a character who is both good and evil, but his age is a little too young; Liang Chaowei can't do it, and neither can Zhou Yanfa and Zhang Guorong, who have agreed to sign the contract.

In the end, Mo Fei had to relax the selection conditions and select actors based on the original requirements of "The Silence of the Lambs" for the actor. Maybe Ren Yinghua is really destined not to appear in this film. As soon as the conditions were relaxed, I thought of the most suitable actor, who is also an actor who is both good and evil, and the backbone of the old drama is Yongjiang.

He is now 50 years old. Twenty years later, he is still active in the entertainment industry, which can be regarded as the best choice for young actors. Anthony. Hopkins was over 50 years old when he starred in "The Silence of the Lambs", and he was also active until the 10s of the 21st century, so it seems that this film still has to be played by old actors.

There are so many people outside who are interested in starring in this film, but they also understand their psychology very well, and they are basically just joining in the fun. The conventions of Phoenix Culture are very clear to everyone, almost all the films use the company's own actors, and there are only a few people who can play important roles as non-contracted artists, and they are basically actors from cooperative companies; There is only one exception to Zhang Guorong, but how many actors of the same generation can be comparable to Zhang Guorong.

In the choice of actors, of course, it is necessary to give priority to the company's own actors, the heroine uses Honami Suzuki, and the actor uses Honami, which is also a good match, Honami's height is not as tall as Ren Jinghua, and it is more coordinated with Honami.

And the other supporting actor, the second actor in the play, the actor who played the murderous wild bull, chose Wu Zhenyu, who is also both righteous and evil. With Wu Zhenyu's evil spirit, and his height, it forms a strong contrast with Honami's petite sweetness, and this sense of oppression will also make the film bring more powerful psychological stimulation to the audience.

As for the other roles, there won't be too many requirements, the two relatively important roles of the parliamentarian whose daughter was kidnapped and the doctor in the psychiatric hospital are also used actors outside the company, after all, there are still not enough actors in the company, and there are always a few faces in all movies, and the audience is not annoyed by himself.

However, other roles are now scarce resources, and many actors who want to deal with Mo Fei ask for help from people who are familiar with Phoenix culture who can speak, the protagonist is definitely not extravagant, just strive to get a cameo role, and the result is that a large number of big stars have appeared in the list of alternative actors for this film.

In the face of such a phenomenon, it is really a little crying and laughing, the main thing about thrillers is all kinds of psychological stimulation, as well as suspense and other plot things, if every supporting role is a big star, this film can't be thrilled at all. Audiences have to spend half of their time counting stars, and the plot component will be diluted to the point that it can't be lightened, even if the box office focus of the film is not in Hong Kong and Chinese-speaking regions. Nor can a reputation be lost in these places.

It's as if in "Life is Beautiful", except for the male protagonist Roberto Bernini, the other characters are top names like Nicolas Cage and Leonardo DiCaprio. As small as a Nazi soldier, they are all played by big stars, and there are enough stars, but the father-son relationship and the deep affection between husband and wife in the film will be diluted to the extreme, which completely deviates from the original intention of the film.

Movies with a lot of stars, generally speaking, can only be comedies, and they are replaced by other types of films. Even John Ford, who has won the most Oscars for Best Director, and William Wheeler, who has the most Oscar nominations for Best Director, are not guaranteed to be able to shoot the desired effect. The attraction of stars to the audience is what movies need most, but in non-comedy genres, too many stars will become the most difficult to control.

In the face of so many people with a heart, and people with a "heart", it is not good to refuse completely. can only be after expressing gratitude, and promising that everyone will be invited to perform together in the year-end New Year's film. And the director of this film. It must be if it is not enough, otherwise it will not be enough to achieve the wishes of everyone.

On the day of the launch of "The Silence of the Lambs", driven by various related rumors, almost all the media in Hong Kong that can have anything to do with entertainment were present. Could it be that he is now a calling presence in the entertainment industry, and his first directorial work was launched, which is news worth watching for fans and audiences.

Because it was carried out on the set, the process of the press conference was very simple, and Chen Pu personally served as the host. After a few words, it was immediately time for the reporters to ask one question, but there was always something that everyone needed in so many questions.

The first question asked. Of course, it is the list of positions of the main creative team, this question does not need to be answered, Chen Pu will do it for him: "In the crew of "The Silence of the Lambs", Mr. Mo serves as the producer, screenwriter and director, Mr. Tang Jili is Mr. Mo's assistant director, the photographer is Mr. Liu Weiqiang, who has just joined Phoenix Culture, and Uncle Jiang and Miss Suzuki are the male and female protagonists of this film......"

After Chen Pu's introduction, the reporters all seemed to have not reacted, seeing Wu Zhenyu sitting on the stage, everyone thought that he was the hero of the film, but they didn't expect it to be Yongjiang, who was nearly half a hundred years old. It's no wonder that the journalists weren't dedicated enough, the exchange of information in the eighties wasn't advanced enough, the book didn't have a lot of readers outside the United States, and the thriller genre had relatively few readers.

"May I ask Mr. Mo, did "The Silence of the Lambs" choose such a cast to run through the whole film through the love between father and daughter, or the love between men and women, or some other story?"

This question is still generated because of lack of understanding, Mo Fei took the microphone and said: "This film is not based on the relationship between father and daughter or the relationship between men and women as the main line, but with the battle of wits and sympathy between a policeman and a psychiatrist criminal to drive the storyline, and through this interaction between them, to carry out the detection of a serial murder maniac case." ”

Mo Fei gave guidance and commentary, and the reporters' next questions were very purposeful, questions about the male and female protagonists and supporting roles, as well as questions about Mo Fei's first time as a director, and of course questions about Tang Jili and Liu Weiqiang's joining Phoenix Culture, all of which were thrown out.

There is also a rather strange reporter who raised a question that made everyone a little dumbfounded, the film was just about to start, and a shot had not been filmed yet, so he asked how much box office it would win.

Such a question is not without answers, a film company will definitely do relevant research before starting to shoot a film, otherwise what will the production team do, but no one will answer such a question.

Mo Fei could only laugh and joke, saying that who can determine whether the first child born in the future will be a boy or a girl before getting married, covering up this embarrassing question for the other party.

In fact, this problem is also a problem that is more worried, the famous Hollywood producer Dino De Laurentiis, who was originally the producer of the "Silence of the Lambs" series, but he planted a heel in the first part of this series.

De Laurentiis produced the "Red Dragon" in the series in '86, which was also the first in Thomas Harris's Hannibal series chronologically, but because it was worried that the title would remind the audience of Bruce Lee's kung fu film, the company's investment in "Year of the Dragon" in '85 suffered a complete failure, so the title was changed to "R", which means hunter, and the Chinese name is "Murder Night" or "Hunter" (to be honest, several titles are translated badly).

But this "R" may be because of Michael Mann's early works, which are not as sophisticated as in "The Line of Fire" and "Miami Vice", and the actors' portrayal of the characters is not successful enough, and the plot is also a little dragged, and it did not succeed after its release.

This series was not really popular until the filming of "The Silence of the Lambs" started in 91, and then the second version of "Red Dragon" can already be called "the perfect ending of the Hannibal series".

Based on the original "The Silence of the Lambs", I believe that I can make a very good film, but I don't dare to have too much extravagant hope at the box office, and it would be good not to lose face, after all, this is a film made mainly by Chinese in 85.

Although there is a box office of 270 million in the previous life to learn from, you can't think about that goal, everything will have accidents, if you take the road of the 86 version of "Red Dragon", you will die a tragic death.

After the press conference, Mo Fei led the crew members to perform the worship ceremony, and it was time to officially enter the setting procedure of the film. Journalists are also rushing back to write manuscripts and conquer readers with their own words.

And the entertainment edition of "Sing Tao Daily" the next day unsurprisingly published an article that implicitly attacked Mo Fei and Phoenix Culture, and even brought it to death.

"Big Event" - Mo Fei, the biggest producer in the Hong Kong film industry, personally directed the movie of the same name adapted from the best-selling "The Silence of the Lambs", which is a big event for Mo Fei himself, Phoenix Culture, or the Hong Kong film industry. Mo Fei has already achieved good results in production, screenwriting, music and other aspects, and has defeated all filmmakers in Hong Kong by an overwhelming margin. If he can succeed again in the position of director and bring himself the honor of a "great director", the combat effectiveness of Phoenix Culture will reach a new level......

He just looked at it and threw the newspaper aside. This kind of thing happens almost every day, as long as Phoenix Culture has a new film to start filming or release, what programs are launched, and what artists are signed, "Sing Tao Daily" will point out.

From the beginning to the present, "Sing Tao Daily" has not analyzed correctly, and now it is even more used to kill this trick. But it's a little too late, now that the alliance of Phoenix Culture, Jiahe, Golden Princess and Yongsheng has taken shape, how can it be so simple and small instigation that can be divided.

Whether these things are the meaning of Yi Yifu, or the meaning of Fang Yihua, or the meaning of "Sing Tao Daily" itself, they will only be regarded as mad dogs barking.

Or it can be regarded as an auspicious forecast, as long as it is criticized or targeted by "Sing Tao Daily", Phoenix Culture will definitely be a big success, I hope this "Silence of the Lambs" can also continue this record, then I have to thank them.
