422, audition, sword pointing at Venice, the ugly fig leaf that was torn!
Matt Damon came quickly, and he was really called from home by Leonardo!
"Fei, Leon, long time no see!"
As soon as he entered the office, he greeted him warmly.
"We just met at the Oscars last month." Xiao Lizi looked like a hanger, deliberately dismantling his friend's platform.
Matt Damon was not to be outdone, and replied: "You said it was last month, it's been a month, isn't it just a long time since you saw it?" ”
While speaking, he also deliberately went over and patted Xiao Lizi's big belly, with a rather shocked expression on his face, "Oh! Fuck! You're really getting fatter, are those female models going to let you get into their bed? ”
"Don't underestimate my charm, even if I'm 200 pounds, I'm still a heartthrob on the Victoria's Secret show."
There was really no way to refute this sentence, Matt Damon muttered quietly, and there was a bit of envy in his eyes.
Among the entire Hollywood actors, only Xiao Lizi is the only one who can be so chic, and the others are indeed not as chic as him, nor as fast as him to change girlfriends.
"Always under the age of 25", this sentence has become Xiao Lizi's mate selection criteria!
After a few words of mutual loss, Matt Damon and Chen Fei began to talk.
The two have met many times at the Golden Globe and Oscars, and have also attended many parties together, so they are quite familiar.
In addition, Leonardo gags in the middle, so it quickly became a hot chat.
After chatting for more than ten minutes, Matt Damon immediately took over the script of "The Hunt" from Leonardo and quickly fell into the story.
In the blink of an eye, half an hour flew by.
And when he finished reading the last page of the script, the moment he closed the script, his body shivered uncontrollably!
This story simply exposes the "inescapable prejudice in human nature".
On the way to read the script, Matt Damon tried to substitute himself into the perspective of the male protagonist many times, but because of this, the more he watched it, the more chilled he became, and even in the end, there was a kind of heartfelt chill that went deep into the bone marrow!
People often say that children's words are unscrupulous, innocent, and childlike are the purest, but in this story, children's words are the most "taboo", and innocence is the most "evil!" ”
At the end of the story, although all misunderstandings have been solved and gossip has been broken, the chill has not dissipated, but has deepened, making people feel chills all over!
Matt Damon took a deep breath and let out a sigh of emotion, "What a terrible story! ”
Leonardo added: "The jury will love this story, it's perfect to challenge for the festival's awards." ”
"Huh!?"
Hearing this, Matt Damon's eyes lit up.
Like Leonardo, he actually lacks the foil of awards!
Xiao Lizi still has a Silver Bear actor at the Berlin Film Festival, but he doesn't have a commendable actor award!
"Fei, do you need me to audition?" He took the initiative to ask Chen Fei, obviously very interested in this script.
Chen Fei didn't answer immediately, but looked at him for a moment.
The age is quite suitable, and there is also marriage experience, listening to Xiao Lizi say that he is still taking care of his wife at home recently, I think I should be able to play the caring and patient role of "teacher" realistically enough.
The most important thing is that the appearance and temperament are also passable, after all, if you want to attract the love of a little girl with the image of a middle-aged man in his 40s, the charm value must not be too low.
Then only acting is left.
After pondering for a moment, Chen Fei spoke: "How about giving me an emotional transformation?" From the gentle kindness of the teacher to the murderous spirit of hunting. ”
“Ok!”
Matt Damon was not stumped by the sudden audition request, he closed his eyes slightly, and began to recall the words he had just seen in the script, and to brew emotions.
After a few moments, he opened his eyes and took two steps forward to pick up a ballpoint pen from the table.
As he held the ballpoint pen alof, he had a kind smile on his face, as if he had transformed into a gentle teacher, his eyes full of love for knowledge and care for his students.
"Students, let's take a look at this knowledge point ......"
His voice is soft and magnetic, and every word is like a spring breeze, warming people's hearts.
His smile seemed so kind, as if it could dissolve all troubles and doubts.
He patiently answered every question, no matter how complex the problem, it became clear and clear under his explanation.
At this moment, he is not only a beacon of knowledge, but also a beacon to guide the students' life path.
However, the next second, when Matt Damon closed his eyes again, the ballpoint pen held high in his hand suddenly fell slowly, and the tip of the pen was pointed straight ahead.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes again!
His eyes were no longer gentle, and had become as sharp as a falcon, as if he could perceive the pulse of all life.
His steps are firm and powerful, as if every step tramples on the survival hopes of his prey.
He held the hunting tool in his hand, and the pen that was once used to write wisdom had now become a sharp blade that hunted life!
What is shocking is that in him, gentleness and kindness are in stark contrast with murderous spirit!
It seems that he can become a kind and warm teacher at any time, or he can be transformed into a murderous, vicious hunter in an instant!
“Oh! Fuck! You guy, have been secretly practicing acting at home in the past few years? ”
Xiao Lizi's whole body was so frightened that he jumped up, the tip of the pen was aimed at him just now, and he almost thought that Matt Damon would give him a hard blow!
"Haha, of course, I'm determined to change myself and hit the Oscar for Best Actor."
"Well, don't think about this, you and I probably won't be able to get it, those old guys from the academy are naturally hostile to us......"
When Oscar was mentioned, Xiao Lizi's tone was full of resentment.
After several nominations and several failures, he is about to despair!
"How do you know if you don't try? I don't think I'm as unlucky as you are. ”
Matt Damon is quite confident, he is not as desperate as Leonardo, after all, he has few chances to even be nominated......
The two teased each other for a few words, and then turned their heads to look at Chen Fei again.
"Fei, how's it going? Is my performance okay? ”
"Very good!" Chen Fei gave him an affirmative answer, and then added: "I'll give you a definite answer the day after tomorrow, how about it?" ”
"Ok, I'll wait for your call."
Matt Damon had already anticipated this answer.
After all, Volton Pictures only released the role requirements in the morning, and there will definitely be many actors who send resumes one after another, no matter how good his performance is, Chen Fei will definitely have to give others a chance to audition.
The key is tomorrow, if there is no more suitable person than him, then this role will inevitably belong to him!
After a while, Leonardo and Matt Damon left together, and the two agreed to have a drink and reminisce about old friendships.
And Chen Fei began to receive other actors who came to audition.
Morgan Freeman, Robert Downey Jr., Tom Hanks, Will Smith, Al Pacino, Matthew McConaughey, ......
Perhaps because there were too many big-name actors coming, many reporters gradually gathered at the door of Walton Pictures, all of whom were waiting for the exact news, and they all wanted to know who would be the leading actor in Chen Feixin's movie?
The news soon spread back home.
"Explosion: Director Chen Fei's new Hollywood film is coming, and the actor audition has been launched."
"Many big-name stars gathered at Walton Pictures to start a role chase battle."
"Literary films? Commercial films? Let's wait and see! ”
“……”
Many people in the circle are paying attention to this news, especially Xu Ke, who was stunned for a while after seeing the news.
"And that's what it begins? Really going to fight for Venice? Could it be that the first domestic director of the Grand Slam, the highest award of the three major European film festivals, is going to appear? ”
You must know that even on a global scale, there are only three directors who have won the Grand Slam, the highest award at the three major European film festivals.
Henry George Cruzot, Michelangelo Antonioni, Robert Altman.
The above three are French, Italian, and American directors.
If Chen Fei can achieve the Golden Bear, Palme d'Or, and Golden Lion achievements, then he will become the fourth director to win the Grand Slam, the highest award at the three major European film festivals!
Xu Ke took a deep breath and suddenly found that his body was trembling with excitement.
He's looking forward to this year's Venice Film Festival!
~
It was fast forward to the third day of the audition notice, and many media outlets noticed that the audition notice had been taken down.
And this means that the casting is over!
"Fei, thank you very much for this recognition." Matt Damon signed his name on the actor's contract and was given a full script.
"You're welcome, you deserve it."
Chen Fei smiled, looked at his current look, thought for a moment and then reminded: "You only have a week to prepare, try to make your body thinner as much as possible, so that it can better fit the character I want, okay?"
To tell you the truth, I'm going to send this film to the Venice Film Festival, so our shooting cycle won't be very long, and your work and family need to be arranged in advance. ”
Matt Damon nodded slightly, "Ok, don't worry, I'll take care of everything." ”
After he went back yesterday, he recalled the story in the script again, and felt more and more that this movie must have a very high probability of winning awards!
It's a very rare opportunity and he's going to take it seriously.
And my wife's due date is just in October, if you can get a trophy, you can use it as a gift after the birth of your daughter!
He's ready to dive into the script.
A week of preparation time is enough!
Inside the office.
Seeing Matt Damon leave, Chen Fei secretly fell into deep thought.
After the actor is decided, he doesn't need to worry about the rest, and in the next week, he will finish all the remaining editing work of "The Hunger Games", and then devote himself to the filming of "The Hunt".
"Golden Lion, wait for me!"
……
Time began to advance rapidly, and Volton Pictures announced Chen Fei's new film plan.
"The Hunt"
Director: Chen Fei
Screenwriter: Chen Fei
Actor: Matt Damon
Realistic themes.
As soon as the news came out, Hollywood took the lead in setting off a storm.
"This is, ready to win the prize again?"
Many people began to whisper behind their backs, and many film and television studios and directors who were looking for next year's Oscars were inexplicably nervous.
This year's "Bomb Disposal Unit" and last year's "Slumdog Millionaire" are all fierce rivals!
Now that Chen Fei is back and has made another realistic script, it is obvious that he is going to start winning awards.
If the quality of the script is still as high as "Slumdog Millionaire", then many people will have to go home and hug the toilet and cry bitterly!
Chen Fei received a lot of calls from China, most of them asking about his investment-related matters.
It's just that these people's investment requests have been rejected by him.
In total, there is only a little more than $30 million in investment, and if you add a few more investors, it is very likely that you will not make any money.
Although it is a literary film, Chen Fei still wants to sell it at a high price, so he plans to produce this movie wholly owned by Walton Pictures.
If you can be lucky enough to win a prize, it will also be of great help to the increase in the stock price.
"I wish you success in winning the Golden Lion!"
Xu Ke called, wishing Chen Fei a successful award, and at the same time, he informed him that "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" has officially entered the preparation period.
"Martial arts movies, produced by Bona Films, with an investment of hundreds of millions, and the launch of an IMAX-3D version, will be planned to invite Li Lianjie, Zhou Xun, Chen Kun, Li Yuchun and others to ......"
Xu Ke told him a lot of details.
As Chen Fei listened, many memories welled up in his mind.
For this movie, most of his memories are on "Yuhuatian" played by Chen Kun.
"You ask me what the West Factory is? Now I'll tell you that the cases that can't be solved by the East Factory will be solved by my West Factory, I will kill the people that the East Factory doesn't dare to kill, and I will take care of the things that the East Factory doesn't dare to manage!
In a word, I want to manage what the East Factory can manage, and I have to manage what the East Factory can't!
Chop first and then play, the imperial power concession, this is the West Factory! ”
As for the others......
Well, he doesn't have much memory.
After listening to Xu Ke's description, he just nodded and responded: "Okay, if you have any needs, if you can't do it, I'll arrange for Hollywood's technicians to go back and help." ”
"Haha, okay, thank you Director Chen!"
Xu Ke has an excellent attitude, and he is ready to consult Chen Fei if he encounters problems in the next shooting, so he naturally has to be attentive.
Not long after Xu Ke's phone hung up, on the other side, Marvel Entertainment called again.
The call came from Marvel Entertainment CEO Isaac Perlmutter to inform him that the second season of Game of Thrones and Spartacus: Blood and Sand were officially in post-production.
"The preparation of "Shameless" is also coming to an end, and the choice of actors has listened to you. H. Messi, Amy Rosen, Steve Howie, Cameron Monaghan, Ethan Katkoski and others starred in ......"
After listening to his report quietly, Chen Fei responded: "I will take the time to review it, you can contact the person in charge of Netflix and Hulu in advance, and still take the route of sharing, and some of the pre-publicity can also be followed up......"
“Ok!”
On the other end of the phone, Isaac kept answering, and soon made a plan for the next work.
……
There is actually a lot of chaos in the entertainment industry, but most of them are covered with a fig leaf on the outside.
Although it has been a long time since Chen Yuxi's "photo gate" incident, Xiangjiang is still trying to suppress it, just because it is afraid that it will resurface.
Unexpectedly, Jin Qiaoqiao's "mobile phone door" suddenly burst out, and directly pulled the "photo door" out again!
No one thought that the loss of a mobile phone would expose so much black material in the entertainment industry!
Intermediary text messages, photos of accompanying the wine, and even some explicit videos!
When he received a call from Su Guohai, Chen Fei was stunned for a while, "You mean that there are a large number of female celebrities, female models, and many female college students below the third tier involved?" ”
"Yes!" Su Guohai added: "The number is very large, it is simply unsightly......"
Chen Fei hung up the phone directly, and called Huo Wenxi after changing his hand: "Did you see Jin Qiaoqiao's incident?" There's no actress from the Flying Shadow Emperor's agency, right? ”
"Nope! Mr. Chen, don't worry! Absolutely nothing! Not now! There won't be any one in the future! ”
Huo Wenxi repeatedly assured that she could hear that Chen Fei's tone was very unkind.
And for this kind of incident, she herself is also apprehensive, after all, Chen Yuxi almost abolished the entire Xiangjiang brokerage company before, so she can't be careless.
"It's good if you don't, you tell those agents under the company, whether it is recruiting artists or arranging activities in the future, try to avoid those messy occasions, I don't care about other people, but the female artists of our company are not out to sell, understand?
As soon as I find out that someone is messing up a disgusting deal behind my back, get out of here! ”
"Okay, Mr. Chen, I'll call someone to a meeting now to implement this matter."
Hanging up the phone, Huo Wenxi hurriedly went to call someone.
"All the agents in the company came to the conference room, and those who were not in the company answered the phone for me, and they all listened to me and memorized it...... Mr. Chen personally gave an order, if anyone doesn't comply, just get out of me......"
~
Zeng Jia followed Yang Mi into the Flying Shadow Emperor Agency, in view of her previous work experience, Huo Wenxi arranged for her to be the deputy director of the artist management department after joining the company.
Because there is only Yang Mi under her hand, she urgently needs to expand her team and fight for more right to speak.
No, she's signing someone on the show now.
She has a vicious eye and is good at swordsmanship.
Most of the other brokerage companies choose the kind of beautiful melon seed face, and the appearance must be passed, but she values a girl from an ethnic minority.
No, after a lot of flickering, she finally signed the other party into her hand.
Because he is a newcomer, he signed an 8-year brokerage contract.
The other party didn't resist too much, after all, the "Flying Shadow Emperor Brokerage Company" was at the same level as Huayi, Orange Sky and other companies in the circle.
In addition, with Feiyue Film and Television, Emperor, and China Film as the backstage, there will definitely be no shortage of resources!
"Sister Jia, so I'm already an actor with a brokerage company now?" The girl's voice was soft and glutinous, revealing a sense of cuteness.
"Yes." Zeng Jia nodded, looked at the message sent by Huo Wenxi in the group, and hurriedly broadcast the phone.
"Reba, you put the contract away first, and I'm going to have a conference call here."
"Okay, Sister Jia, you are busy first."
The girl nodded and stepped aside, but her attention remained on this side.
On the other end of the phone, Huo Wenxi's voice was very serious, "Director Chen Fei said that every agent has to restrain himself, and the artists of our company eat with their acting skills and skills, not out to sell."
If anyone privately asks an actress to accompany the wine and engage in all kinds of messy transactions in private, he won't have to do this in the future, he will completely withdraw from the circle and get out of the ......"
Listening to the voice on the phone, Zeng Jia subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and secretly warned himself that he must not make such a mistake.
With Chen Fei's energy in the circle, as long as he releases words to ban a certain agent, it means that the other party doesn't want to do this industry anymore!
And Di Lireba, who was on the side, heard these words, and his eyes lit up instantly!
Straight out of the way......
"What a domineering words!"
She secretly sighed in her heart, and a tall and handsome figure suddenly appeared in her mind.
"Director Chen Fei? I don't know if I will have the opportunity to meet him and cooperate with him in the future...... signed a contract with the Flying Shadow Emperor brokerage company, there should be one, right? ”
……
