Chapter 593 The Real Reason!

A few months ago, in order to win more awards, "Search" almost signed up for all the film festivals and film awards that it could register for.

Not only the domestic Huabiao, Golden Rooster, and Golden Horse Awards, but also the Tokyo Film Festival and Busan Film Festival were successfully shortlisted.

Speaking of which, "Search" is still the last fig leaf of this Golden Rooster Award.

Because except for Huo Mingjie's "Search", other Golden Rooster nominated films have not been shortlisted in these major film festivals...

Huo Mingjie has no work schedule in the second half of the year, but it is a bit unfortunate that these film festivals are held at the same time!

Huo Mingjie will go to Busan first, then go to Tokyo, and then go to Taiwan to participate in the Golden Horse Awards next month...

In South Korea, Huo Mingjie is not well-known, so naturally he will not be treated as well as in the country of cherry blossoms. When the plane arrived, there were no fans outside the airport to pick him up.

Huo Mingjie didn't think there was anything wrong, and even thought it was pretty good and not annoying. On the contrary, the bodyguards who followed Huo Mingjie felt a sense of loss at this time...

He met Da Meiyuan who came here a few days in advance and was pulled to rest in her room for a night. Then Huo Mingjie went directly to the Busan Film Festival the next day.

Huo Mingjie is really not well-known here.

When Huo Mingjie and Da Meiyuan walked on the red carpet, except for the media in China and Sakura Country who took pictures crazily, the media in South Korea had a flat reaction.

If it weren't for the looks of Huo Mingjie and Da Meiyuan, these people probably wouldn't even want to raise their cameras...

To be honest, Huo Mingjie and Huo Chengyin, uncle and nephew, have no idea about the market in South Korea for the time being.

Huo Mingjie's idol dramas that swept East Asia and Southeast Asia have been suppressed here and are not allowed to be broadcast until now.

With the strong support of South Korea in recent years, Korean idol dramas have actually had a momentum to sweep East Asia. Every idol drama introduced by the mainland has a huge viewership, and the stars here frequently go to the mainland to make money.

However, in the past two years, the idol dramas shot by Green Shade Media have become a strong rival of Korean idol dramas with their fashionable and exquisite costumes, non-bloody plots, and actors' looks... Especially Huo Mingjie's amazing looks, which has successfully transformed him into a strong rival of Korean idol dramas.

Several idol dramas that have been popular in East Asia have directly reminded Korea of ​​the terrifying suppression of "Return of the Pearl" when it was introduced.

It is precisely for this reason that Korea has been suppressing several idol dramas starring Huo Mingjie and not allowing them to be broadcast...

Of course, Huo Mingjie has not completely given up on Korea.

He originally planned to enter Korea through Hollywood movies to make himself famous first.

When he has more fans in Korea, he will naturally be unable to suppress them!

But Huo Mingjie didn't expect that before he made any efforts in Hollywood, the movie "Search" was shortlisted for the Busan Film Festival.

"Search" was not only selected as the closing film of the Busan Film Festival, but also won the "KNN Audience Choice Award".

Well, it is the most popular movie voted by the audience.

Although "Search" is not a pure love movie, there are also scenes of handsome men and beautiful women falling in love.

Among a group of movies that are either very literary or too heavy, "Search" can better balance the heaviness of the film theme and the beauty of the scenes.

The idea of ​​the movie itself is good, and there are scenes of handsome men and beautiful women falling in love, which is indeed more advantageous when facing ordinary audiences!

The aesthetics of the Korean country are still quite fond of the appearance of Da Meiyuan, not to mention Huo Mingjie's appearance that transcends different aesthetics.

Just relying on the superior and dazzling appearance of the actors, this movie successfully stood out and became the "Audience Choice Award"!

Although this award is a bit of a "consolation prize", it is at least an award.

After the list of winners was announced, fans in China were all happy that their idols went abroad, and then they also criticized the Golden Rooster Awards for being "blind"...

Because he was not famous enough here and did not receive much attention from South Korea, Huo Mingjie's trip to the Busan Film Festival seemed very dull.

After winning the award, only media from the mainland and the country of cherry blossoms came to interview him.

In recent years, Huo Mingjie has been chased by the media wherever he goes, and he himself is a little uncomfortable...

Just when Huo Mingjie thought that this trip was over, he suddenly received a call.

This call came from Korean actress Qiu Cixuan, who had had in-depth "communications" with Huo Mingjie before and played several friendly games.

She is not in South Korea now, but filming a TV series in China.

Well, it's quite familiar, that is "The Temptation to Go Home"...

She called suddenly because she knew that Huo Mingjie's movie won an award at the Busan Film Festival, so she called to congratulate him.

After all, she is from South Korea. Qiu Cixuan didn't react much to Huo Mingjie's "Search" which had such impressive box office results in China. But she knew it immediately when she won a consolation prize here...

In addition to calling to congratulate, she even came to make some connections!

When Huo Mingjie heard her say on the phone that someone from the company wanted to meet him to discuss cooperation, his eyebrows moved, and then he laughed:

"Talk to me about cooperation? Haha, forget it!"

Before, Green Shade Media contacted Korea to introduce the two idol dramas "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" through the relationship introduced by her agency.

However, this relationship does not seem to be very powerful, otherwise the two idol dramas she shot would not have been suppressed for so long.

Still want to cooperate now?

Forget it!

When Qiu Cixuan heard Huo Mingjie's refusal, she suddenly lowered her voice and explained in a low voice:

"It's not my original company, but a company I'm in contact with recently... This company is more reliable. Recently, I want to promote cooperation with the mainland to shoot movies, so I found you!"

China-Korea co-production?

Huo Mingjie heard this and his heart moved.

Green Shade Media has a good relationship with the Central Bank and the Sixth Princess, so they can often get some news in advance.

Recently, the top has this plan to make a movie plan for China-Korea co-production.

Similar things happened as early as the beginning of the millennium. Many domestic film crews actually use teams from Korea.

However, this kind of official cooperation plan has only been discussed recently, and they are even willing to treat Korean films as domestic films!

Koreans covet the mainland's film market and money, and the mainland also covets the mature film shooting technology and team of Koreans.

The top leaders are co-producing with China and Korea, just like the joint production of "Fireline Pursuit" by Green Shade Media and the Six Princesses, which is a kind of "trading market for technology".

Qiu Cixuan on the other end of the phone continued at this time:

"I really confirmed it, you have to believe me. With the help of this company, maybe the TV series that you were holding back before can also be broadcast!"

The relationship she helped Huo Mingjie introduce before was not reliable, so she has been thinking about it in her heart for the past year. Before making up for her "mistake", she has never been embarrassed to come to Huo Mingjie to play a game...

This time she encountered a reliable opportunity, so she is naturally very positive!

Huo Mingjie thought for a moment after hearing this, and then agreed:

"Okay, we can meet!"

Being able to know the co-production plan in advance shows that the company introduced by Qiu Cixuan this time is already more reliable.

And the population of South Korea is not large but the consumption power is not low, which should not be underestimated, otherwise the uncle and nephew would not have been thinking about it all the time.

Now that there is a way to make money in South Korea, they will naturally not let it go!

——

Just because of Qiu Cixuan's call, Huo Mingjie temporarily changed his schedule. He did not rush to the country of cherry blossoms to attend the Tokyo Film Festival, but stayed for half a day longer.

The benefits of having a private jet are apparent, and there is no need to worry too much about the temporary change of the schedule...

The company that Huo Mingjie met this time is a South Korean company called "bh".

Qiu Cixuan has been in contact with this company recently, and plans to change after the agency contract with the original company expires.

I will not introduce this company too much for the time being, because it is actually just a matchmaker this time, which is irrelevant!

The company that really wanted to cooperate with Huo Mingjie was the "Showbox" company in South Korea.

Huo Mingjie had never heard of the name of this company, or he was not very familiar with the entertainment in South Korea, and at most he remembered "Girls' Generation".

Well, there is a chance to get to know each other...

However, after receiving the relevant information from the company, Huo Mingjie saw the previous works of this company, and he immediately had some impressions!

"The Taegukgi" and "The Host", even if Huo Mingjie had not seen them, he had seen some clips of movies on the Internet, so he naturally had an impression.

And this year's "Red Cliff" was also invested by this company!

Although "Red Cliff" did not have a good reputation, it made a lot of money at the box office.

The person who can think of dividing a movie into two parts and then releasing them separately is simply a genius, otherwise the probability of this movie losing money is greater...

It is precisely because of the investment in "Red Cliff" that made a lot of money, so in Huo Mingjie's mind, this company, which has been referred to as "Sb", has become more convinced to uphold the concept of "international development".

It just so happened that the boss was preparing the "China-Brazil Co-production Film Plan", so he immediately took action and decisively found Huo Mingjie.

The person sent by "Sb" company was a middle-aged woman with a wide and flat face, squinting eyes, and a typical Korean appearance.

When facing Huo Mingjie, Ms. Jin's eyes could not move away from Huo Mingjie's face, and she smiled so hard that her eyes were completely narrowed into a slit!

"... Whether it is sincerity or strength, our company is enough for you, Mr. Huo, to give full play to it. As long as you nod, we can even tailor the script and role for you!"

When describing and introducing Huo Mingjie, Ms. Jin, who can speak fluent Chinese, was very sincere.

These days, stars from the mainland are actually at the bottom of the contempt chain. Whether it is the country of Korea, the country of cherry blossoms, or Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan, they dare to put on airs.

But speaking of it, Huo Mingjie does not often encounter such a situation!

Being handsome can make a living, and Huo Mingjie is very, very, very handsome. With this face that can unify different aesthetics, he is always treated with all kinds of courtesy.

Especially when the person opposite is a woman, this kind of "courtesy" will be more obvious...

Huo Mingjie propped up his chin, took a general look at the document plan handed over, and then asked with interest:

"Why did you choose me for cooperation? After all, I feel that if it were your company, there would be better choices!"

If SB really wanted to find one, it would definitely be able to find an actor more suitable than Huo Mingjie, and it might be possible to find an actor at the level of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie.

And before this, the relevant practitioners in South Korea regarded Huo Mingjie as the biggest "stumbling block" for the Korean Wave to unify East Asia, and they were secretly suppressing him.

Now that SB has suddenly changed its attitude and is eager to cooperate with Huo Mingjie, Huo Mingjie still wants to know the reason.

In response to Huo Mingjie's question, Ms. Jin immediately smiled and said:

"Of course, it is because of your strength, Mr. Huo, that our company is very optimistic about you!"

At this point, Ms. Jin paused slightly, and then continued:

"Mr. Huo, you may not know that although you did not attract much attention at the Busan Film Festival, you have attracted a lot of fans on the Internet in our country just by appearing when you received the award!"

"There are people on the Internet now, looking for your works everywhere, and even urging the release of the movie "Search."

No matter when and where, Huo Mingjie's amazing appearance is always his weapon to break the deadlock!

But to be honest, how many people can be attracted by appearance alone?

Huo Mingjie believed that someone in South Korea must have noticed him now, but if this alone could make SB put down his attitude and choose to cooperate, it was really a bit far-fetched...

Huo Mingjie continued to look at Ms. Jin in front of him, leaning back slightly on the sofa, and said calmly:

"If this is the only reason, I don't believe that your company will choose to cooperate..."

"So, there should be other reasons, right?"

Hearing Huo Mingjie's words, Ms. Jin on the opposite side wanted to continue to fool around.

But after noticing Huo Mingjie's half-smiley eyes, her heart suddenly shuddered, and she always felt that she had been seen through.

Ms. Jin's squinting eyes slightly opened, and after a moment of silence, she said:

"We are indeed very optimistic about your development, Mr. Huo...Hollywood's new MGM company has announced the list of characters for the new 007 movie, and Mr. Huo's name is on it."

"I believe that Mr. Huo has got this opportunity, and his development in Hollywood will definitely be smoother in the future!"

Haha, as expected, the reason just now was an excuse.

The real reason is probably that we have noticed the "close" relationship between Huo Mingjie and New MGM...
