Chapter 264, One Again, Two Again?

"Okay, then I'll wish you a good race, and I'll congratulate you when the time comes. Actually, I also like fishing, what kind of fish do you catch, is it also a largemouth bass, we can make an appointment to go together when we have time. (U.S. fishing tournaments are generally for largemouth bass.)

For Bruce to drop the chain at a critical time, doubt the boss's character, and put the boss together, he immediately gave a blow. Don't embarrass him, teach him a lesson, won't it be worse in the future, at least this kind of misunderstanding is not allowed.

Bruce was also a little dumbfounded at this time, his feelings really wanted to say things, but his words had already been exported, and it was not so realistic to come back, so he could only agree to it first, and then find a way to remedy it. Fortunately, he is not a calculating person, otherwise he would have suffered it now.

Busy admitted: "Okay, okay, there will be a chance." Actually, I'm also an amateur, and when the time comes, I'll want you to teach me more, Mr. Mo. ”

Mo Fei's main purpose is to whitewash himself, and the others don't care very much, and now Bruce says that he understands, so he won't say these digressions, and continues: "Then let's move on to this movie, first of all, Bruce, your partner will be a black actor, you shouldn't be racist, right?" I also plan to do this film as a series, and I haven't thought about how many specific films I will make, but at least four will be set......"

After briefly talking to the two about the movie, it was almost lunchtime, and Bruce was full of thoughts about what to do if he really wanted to go fishing with him, and left the company a little listlessly, not at all like he had just gotten a movie lead.

Mo Fei and Catherine went to the restaurant that Wu Long had booked to eat together, after such a long time of training, Wu Long is now fully qualified for Mo Fei's assistant work, and even in how to set the meal, Mo Fei is more and more satisfied with this assistant.

After eating a little bit, Mo Fei and Catherine chatted again about the movie "Lethal Weapon". Catherine really didn't expect that there would be a film handed over to her to direct just after signing a contract today, and she said that there was a film that suited her style very well, but now it seems that it is really not nonsense.

And after reading the script, Catherine admired Mo Fei even more, she had heard Jackson say how Mo Fei's script was, but now that she has personally understood it, she knows that what Jackson said is a little modest.

With her vision as a director, she can't find any faults and problems in the script, and even the script in her hand seems to be written exactly according to her ideas, isn't it a film that suits her style.

With such a script, there is no need for the director to spend too much effort to figure out the plot, as long as the other movies are less than one-fifth of the time, it is OK to get the script through. If all the preparations were in place now, she would be able to start shooting immediately, which she had never seen before.

Catherine also heard a lot from Jackson about Mo Fei's situation, and knew that Mo Fei's most powerful means was the choice of actors, and now that the actor has been selected to use Bruce Willis, who will he choose for the second male lead and some other roles.

Although it is difficult for a director to accept that he can only use designated actors, in the face of Mo Fei, who has never failed in casting and has been successful every time, even if the best director comes, it is difficult to guarantee that he will do better than Mo Fei. And Mo Fei is an investor and a screenwriter, so he has a lot of say in casting, and Catherine can only operate in Mo Fei's mode.

After looking at a few of the more important characters, he asked: "Mr. Mo, this combination of black and white has rarely been seen in movies before, you used Halle Berry in another movie before, and now this movie is going to use a black man as the second male lead, is it to increase the appeal of the movie to the audience, do you have a good choice for this black actor?" ”

The role arrangement of the film has always been a means of controlling the movie, and generally speaking, this right will not be handed over to others, and the same is true of the movie "Lethal Weapon", he has already had his own plans and arrangements for some key roles.

But Catherine didn't fully understand the purpose of his use of black actors in the film, which was a director that the company would vigorously cultivate in the future, and there were some things that had to be explained to her to help her improve faster.

Said: "The previous use of Halle Berry was indeed for the box office, a $50 million investment in a movie, must do its best in every aspect, so that every kind of audience can enjoy it, so as to create the maximum income at the box office." But this is not entirely the reason in this one, I want to show the conflict and mutual acceptance of some different cultures, which can be regarded as subtly making the audience more recognized by this movie, and the next follow-up movies will be more recognized and supported, and Phoenix culture will be accepted by more people.

The black actor who is partnered with Bruce, I have noticed the recent situation in the film industry, and there are only two people who are more suitable, Morgan Freeman and Danny Grove who played Loomis in "40,000 Years of the Iceman". The most suitable one I think is Grove, Catherine you can contact it first, if Grove doesn't have a schedule, it's better to use Freeman.

In addition, the daughter of a black police detective, use Halle Berry, this is a new actor, and many times you need more guidance on her. Other actors, I haven't thought of it for the time being, I'm going back to Hong Kong in two days, if you have a suitable candidate, just use it directly, and if there is no suitable one, consider large-scale casting. In terms of specific shooting, you and Li Lu discussed it, I planned a budget of 10 million for this film, which should be enough, if you have any additional needs, you can call me directly and I will solve it. ”

With a budget of 10 million, Catherine was completely shocked to hear such a large investment, this era is not a movie without a larger investment, but 10 million is definitely a big investment, Catherine is already very excited to be able to direct such a movie.

And it is heartache, Hollywood filming is different from Hong Kong, 10 million US dollars in Hong Kong I don't know how many films to make, but in Hollywood, it is just one. The gap is not a little bit big, it is said that Hong Kong movies want to catch up with Hollywood, how can it be so easy, if there is no chance to go against the sky, it is simply a fool's dream.

After the two talked about the movie, they got up and came out of the restaurant, and then Catherine didn't have to go to the company, she could go back to her own house to study the script, or she could find anywhere.

Mo Fei also plans to go back to the company to see, if there is nothing to do, he is also going to go shopping, there are some things such as gifts or something, he has to buy them, women can not ask for it, but he can't be indifferent.

After leaving the restaurant, the two parted ways and got into the car to do their own business. Mo Fei worked hard for more than half an afternoon, and finally got all his mind done, and then returned to the hotel to eat something briefly, ready to take a shower and lie on the bed to watch TV.

Coming out of the bathroom, Mo Fei's eyes glanced at the TV screen, one of the actors made Mo Fei's eyes light up, and said that a day ago I was still wondering if there would be a succession of good things, but now this good thing has eyebrows, should it really be repeated again.

The TV is playing the NBC TV series "Remington Steele", and the general plot is that Laura is a woman who aspires to be an excellent detective, because no one will trust a female detective, so she found a male partner Remington Steele as a partner, and appeared in place of her as the boss of the detective agency, and then the two were always lucky to solve the case at hand, and of course there was an emotional drama.

In the United States in the 80s, detective dramas once had a large market, just like Bruce Willis found in the crew of a detective drama "Blue Moonlight Detective Agency" before taking over the filming of "Die Hard".

And in the crew of this "Remington Steele", like "Blue Moonlight Detective Agency", there is a big fish hidden, a fish that is no smaller than Bruce Willis, but this fish is much more difficult to catch.

Mo Fei felt a little excited in his heart, and immediately walked to the bedside and grabbed the phone, called Li Lu, and said, "Lao Li, you help me find someone, who is the actor in the current NBC detective drama "Remington Steele", see if you can get in touch and meet." ”

"Mr. Mo, you're talking about that Pierce Brosnan" Li Lu is not only responsible for taking care of the distribution of Phoenix Culture films in the United States, but also responsible for collecting actor information, and needs to pay attention to some emerging actors, Pierce Brosnan is the one he pays more attention to.

Hearing Mo Fei's words, Li Lu immediately guessed that Mo Fei was likely to sign this actor, and said: "If you want to sign him, at least you don't have a chance yet." MGM had this idea before, hoping to use him to replace Roger Moore, who ended his contract, in "007", but he signed a five-year contract with NBC, which is limited in this regard. It is said that his contract stipulates that during the filming of "Remington Steele", he will not be able to take on the roles of detectives, agents, and policemen, and NBC's salary is also very expensive, some time ago, a company asked him to make a film, just to play a supporting role, and he asked for 200,000 ......"

Li Lu talked about Pierce Brosnan's situation in detail, Mo Fei also felt a little big, in his previous life, he had also heard some about Pierce Brosnan's situation in this period, but it was just a surface, definitely not as detailed as Li Lu said, now I know how difficult it is to win this future James Bond.
