    After finalizing the investment in "Phantom of the Opera", I thought of another thing. Sooner or later, Hong Kong will make a film like this, so why don't I take advantage of this opportunity?  Basically, as long as it is a movie adapted from a popular musical, the box office and reputation will not be too bad. If "Phantom of the Opera" is introduced to Hong Kong and Taiwan for a few performances at the right time, by then  The movie will definitely be a hit, and it will win awards. It will win many awards.  And with the cooperation of this musical, wouldn't it be possible to cooperate on other things as well?  ¡°Could it be that after returning to the hotel that night, and arguing with Honami until midnight, there was a person sitting on the sofa in the living room of the room who kept ringing for a long time and wrote a rough outline on the manuscript paper.  When I went to see Weber to sign the contract for "Phantom of the Opera" the next day, he proposed to use part of Weber's music in the movie, which was to adapt "Midnight Song" from "Phantom of the Opera".  Weber even graciously signed a letter of authorization directly to Mo Fei, without mentioning the money. However, Weber was also very honest and bluntly said that Mo Fei's film has a great chance of winning an award. If it can win,  He has made a profit, not to mention that he has already invested 50 million US dollars, so this small thing can be regarded as a discount.  With such a good start, the subsequent negotiations will be smoother. Mo Fei directly expressed his thoughts: "Andrew, I am also planning to invest in a musical. I sorted out the outline last night.  Now let's talk about the possibility of cooperation. If possible, I will write the script and we will make music together. " "If you say so, I will do it.  I'm already interested, let's talk about it." At the award ceremony the day before, Weber saw Mo Fei's methods with his own eyes. He won both screenwriting awards. Who could do this without something real?  It's awesome.  In fact, not only Webb, but Sarah Brightman was also very interested in Mo Fei's proposal.  She has watched many Phoenix Culture movies and has a certain understanding of Mo Fei's script. Now she wants to see what the musical written by Mo Fei will look like.  "The story takes place in Vietnam. It tells the love story of an American soldier in Vietnam. Before the U.S. military retreated from Vietnam, a somewhat absurd and romantic relationship occurred between Private John and the Vietnamese "jinv" Jin who appeared for the first time.  , and not long after, they fell in love with each other. But unfortunately, the news of the withdrawal soon came, and John had to follow the troops to leave Vietnam. How to deal with the relationship between himself and Jin next.  The problem gave John a headache. Before withdrawing, John had already thought of taking Kim back to the United States. However, due to errors in judgment and John's hesitation, Kim ultimately failed to leave. She watched John call the helicopter flying away.  Yue Yue, put away the pistol that Jin left for her. The American army finally left. Although John and Jin Jun held a wedding, he failed to take Jin back to the United States, and Jin stayed in the slums.  , with her and John's child, she wanted to stay alive for John, because she still believed in their love for each other, and believed that John would come back to save her and take him away from this place. But on the other side of the world, John was already married.  He had a wife named Irene. In Vietnam, in order to protect her and John's son, Jin shot and killed his cousin, who was obsessed with her, and began a life of escape John, who was in Atlanta, suddenly disappeared.  He woke up from his dream and shouted Jin's name. He found that he could not forget Jin. He wanted to go back and find her, but would his wife agree? With the help of his comrades, John finally found Jin's whereabouts. At this time, Jin was still there.  Convinced that John would take him to the United States to finally meet, Jin put on the dress she wore the most beautiful day when she and John were married. When she went to John's room, there was only one person there.  The woman, who is John's current wife, Ellen, told Kim that they could not take her to the United States, nor could they take his son to the United States. The dream that Kim had held on to for so long was finally shattered Kim was helpless and.  In desperation, she thought of a way. She wanted to take a risk, hoping that John could bring her son to the United States. Jin told her son Tan in the room that he now had a father, and his father would take him to live in the United States.  In the spare days, let Tan not forget her, she will take good care of herself. Seeing John and Allen coming in the distance, Jin hugged her son's head and kissed her, then walked behind the curtain and used what John left for her.  The pistol committed suicide. John rushed into the room immediately after hearing the gunfire, picked up Jin who was lying on the ground and was dying, and asked her why she did this. Jin said that God led him to find his son, and now she only has one wish, which is hope.  Before he died, he was able to be hugged by John again. Lying in John's arms, Jin once again said the words he said when the two fell in love: becauseHow did we change so much overnight.  ¡± Innocent girls and innocent feelings firmly believe that pure love will exist forever. For an impossible promise, they go through hardships and even risk their lives to persist. Selfless maternal love makes danger, fatigue, dignity and even life a reality.  She could give it all without caring about it, but the ending was not as good as it was at the beginning. This story was really tragic, and even Weber, an old man, was moved to tears.  Sarah Brightman was already in tears. When she looked at Mo Fei with red eyes, she was clearly complaining deeply. How could she make the story so miserable? She is so inhuman.  After recovering for a while, Weber finally separated from his sadness and asked: "Mo, how did you come up with this story? It's too tragic. Shakespeare also has tragedies, and he must have written them better than you."  , but it never made me want to cry so much.  ¡± In fact, there are many organizations in the United States that help children born to American soldiers and Vietnamese women in the Vietnam War find their fathers. I heard about it when I was in school in the United States. Then one day I saw a child being sent to the hospital by his mother.  Although the photo in the airport corridor is just a mother's back, I bet that she may never see her child again after sending her away. She must be very painful on her face or in her heart, so I thought of  I wanted to come up with such a script. Then your musical inspired me. I was lying in the hotel at night and suddenly thought, I need to talk to you. The result is now: "You are really amazing, I think you are a genius.  Screenwriter, no wonder your movie is so popular.  Weber was a little unbelievable after hearing this. He could tell so much from just one figure. This guy's eyes were really vicious. But he frowned and said, "But, Mo, how can such a musical composer be so talented?"  It is very difficult, and there is no guarantee that every audience will like it once the song is completed. Is it possible to consider making changes to the existing masterpieces?  " Could it be that he really admired Weber in his heart? He already knew it. But Weber just listened to the story and knew how difficult the arrangement was. He is indeed a famous composer. He is not a dabbler like him.  But who knows? He nodded and said, "I think so too. It would be too difficult to arrange a new song and it might ruin the story, so I thought I'd try Puccini's "Madama Butterfly".  Anyway, I think it really matches, at least a few changes can be made to achieve perfection.  " "Yes, I think so too. It must be "Madama Butterfly". No other song can express the soul of this story.  Weber felt the same way about Mo Fei, and even felt a little sympathy for each other. Soon the cooperation for this musical was successfully reached, and the title of the play was still called "Miss Saigon" according to Mo Fei's memory. Mo Fei's Phoenix culture and Weber's true love  Good Company invested US$40 million and US$30 million respectively, Phoenix Culture held 55% of the shares, True Good Company held 35% of the shares, and the other 10% was reserved for the musical production team. As for the film adaptation rights of the play, of course.  In Mo Fei's hands, it is impossible to compare this with the musical. As long as this musical becomes popular, the remake of the movie will have a box office of at least 200 million US dollars. Who will give the money to others in vain?  No matter how familiar it is, the influence and income of this musical are no worse than "Phantom of the Opera". Just from the fact that it has been touring continuously for sixteen years, it is not difficult to see its return rate, if it is not good.  It had been killed a long time ago, how could it have a chance to perform for sixteen years? After the agreement was signed, Mo Fei also made his own suggestions. It would be best to finish the music half with Weber, and then try to make this play available in the 8th century.  "Why are we in such a hurry? We now have "Phantom of the Opera", which can be performed for at least four to five years. It will not be too late to start preparing for this show in three years."  "Webber didn't understand or agree with Mo Fei's suggestion. "As for this, Mo Fei has absolute experience. He didn't care if Weber didn't smoke. He lit it for himself and took two puffs, and said: "Think about it, "Phantom of the Opera"  "Whether it is going to be performed on Broadway, or whether it is necessary to use Sarah as the heroine, then how do you solve this problem? You should know the regulations of Broadway, and it must be an American actor.  Therefore, we need to prepare this show, and then we can use the male lead of this show to replace him with Broadway, so our chances of success will be much greater.  " At this time, Weber couldn't help but admire Mo Fei's thoughtfulness, taking into account all the rules of Broadway in the United States. It's really a pleasure to have such a partner, as long as his major is film, otherwise Weber can guarantee that the two of them will be able to play it all.  There is no rival in the world.?????????????????? Women and men have different ideas. Sarah Brightman felt that although the story was a bit too cruel, she was quite attentive and thoughtful and cared about others. She felt that this friend was really the right one.  , and I'm glad that I agreed to sing the theme song of the movie "Mo Fei" in the first place. That choice was really the right one.  (Only 9,000 were coded out today, and the remaining 1,000 will be added tomorrow. Thank you for your understanding! "Miss Saigon" is worth watching, a very touching play, and the American Devil is a CD)
