Chapter 549 Revised Script

Although the memory of the previous week is already vague, Huo Mingjie still has a deep impression of movies like "Inception".

The heir of the energy tycoon he played is a character who only appears in the later part of the movie. He does not have many scenes and is the final target of the dream stealing gang.

The protagonists were caught by "Saito", a top energy tycoon in Sakura Country, when they were stealing business secrets.

However, "Saito" took a fancy to their abilities and asked them to take action without holding them accountable and attaching various conditions.

The target of the protagonists is the role played by Huo Mingjie, an heir to the energy empire.

At the request of "Saito", they need to implant the idea of ​​giving up the inheritance of the consortium into the target person through dreams.

However, it was explained in the later part of the movie that the target person actually did not have a good relationship with his father.

In fact, he did not want to inherit his father's energy empire at all, but wanted to make a way out with his own abilities!

Well, this kind of hypocritical problem is actually common among many rich second-generations...

Watching his second uncle flipping through the script, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but interrupt:

"To be honest, I think Saito's role is better, with more scenes and he is not a disgusting villain for keeping his promises!"

Anyway, there is no original work for the script, it was written by director Nolan himself, so it's okay to change the Sakura people to Chinese people.

Although the energy company in China is unlikely to be private, the old white and black people in the West don't have much common sense anyway, and even think that the Sakura Country and the Korean Country are Chinese, so it's basically impossible to notice something wrong...

Huo Mingjie shrugged and said:

"No way, they don't believe me!"

That role is good, Huo Mingjie has never played a corresponding role before, and he is actually willing to try.

But it's a pity that although the role of "Saito" is not important in the movie ranking, it can actually be considered the second male lead.

And Huo Mingjie is really too young, so the crew doesn't believe that he can perform the momentum of a top tycoon.

After checking most of Huo Mingjie's previous works, the director hesitated for a long time, but in the end he didn't give in for the sake of money.

There was no way. Except for "Double Food Diary", the other works Huo Mingjie had previously announced were basically idol dramas, which were really hard to trust...

To be honest, Huo Mingjie was actually quite frustrated to get this role. From the beginning, he was supposed to be the male lead, but in the end he became a role that he didn't know whether it was the third or fourth male lead.

But there was no way. Even if Huo Mingjie was popular in the mainland and had a high national popularity, people didn't take him seriously!

This is the case in Hollywood now. Chinese faces can only play the protagonist's sidekicks and ugly villains, or just a small role with a few lines.

The only exception is Cheng Long!

Now and even in the future, Hollywood movies are basically white men with Asian women.

The only exception is Cheng Long. In "The Spy Next Door" and "The Tuxedo", Asian men are paired with blondes and blue-eyed foreign horses. From this alone, we can see that this guy is still very powerful...

Fortunately, Huo Mingjie is also an investor, which is considered capital. The director and Warner also felt that it should not be too much, so they added some scenes to him in the end.

Huo Mingjie just flipped through the script and found that the character setting and personality of the role he played this time have been enriched.

Originally, his personality was a bit naive and idealistic. He was obsessed with walking his own way. In fact, he just wanted to prove himself to his father. He was changed into a young man who was determined to make progress and had a promising future.

Huo Mingjie looked at the character setting written on the script, which was marked as "a new star in the new energy industry", and couldn't help laughing.

The director is also keeping up with the times. The new energy that has become more and more popular in the past two years also knows it.

But don't say it, this setting is unexpectedly suitable!

As the heir of an old monopoly energy empire, he has set his sights on the new energy industry. No wonder he has conflicts with his father...

For the revised script, Huo Mingjie nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Huo Chengyin on the side couldn't help asking:

"How is the revision?"

Huo Mingjie closed the script and asked curiously:

"You haven't read the script?"

Huo Chengyin smiled a little embarrassedly and said:

"The crew doesn't allow the contents of the script to be leaked, and the script is all in English. I can't understand it. I just heard that it has been revised..."

Speaking of my second uncle, it's also strange. He was not good at English when he was in school. How come he can speak it fluently now?

Is it because the education level in his hometown is too poor, which has delayed his second uncle's talent?

Huo Mingjie didn't know that his nephew's thoughts had turned to other places, so he nodded and smiled:

"The revised script has too many more scenes, and the character image is also very good. The director is still giving face!"

When Huo Chengyin heard this, he couldn't help but curl his lips and said:

"Of course he gave face. We spent 60 million US dollars on this movie!"

60 million US dollars, and Huo Mingjie was only given a role that was considered the second or third male lead. This old white man is really black!

But this director Nolan is in this style. The cost of shooting each movie is high, but the box office results have always been very good.

This time, the investment of "Inception" was as high as 160 million US dollars when the project was finally approved.

And making a movie is not really printing money. You don't know whether it can make money until it is finally released.

Lionsgate vowed to make a comeback with "The Forbidden Kingdom", but it ended up losing money and almost couldn't catch its breath...

So Huo Mingjie took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to invest. Even Warner didn't have the courage to refuse it, but chose to agree and share the risk.

After the final agreement, Huo Mingjie got a 60 million investment share. He can get a 35% dividend after the movie is released. In addition, he will need to help distribute the movie in the mainland.

So strictly speaking, Huo Mingjie's current role is actually a gift for investing in movies...

Huo Mingjie couldn't help but chuckled when he heard his cheap nephew's complaints, and said:

"This is a good thing. I guess we have to thank them for giving up so many shares in the end!"

What was the final box office of this "Inception"?

I can't remember, but it can make a lot of money anyway!

Seeing his second uncle's confident look, Huo Chengyin also laughed.

If his second uncle said it was profitable, then it must be right!
