Chapter 594

After all, it was a big pie that was drawn, and the two vice presidents arranged by Huo Mingjie put a lot of competitive pressure on it. Leon's actions were quite fast.

Only a few months after he replaced Huo Mingjie at the helm of the new MGM, he had already started preparations for the 007 movie.

When MGM was at the end of its rope, it once placed its hope on the world-famous IP 007. It had already made a lot of plans, and even the scripts were ready-made.

It's just that at that time, MGM's public filming team had long been disbanded, and the company didn't have much money on its books, so it couldn't officially start filming.

Now after merging with Shelver Pictures, we have money and a shooting team, so there is no resistance to starting preparations for a new movie.

Determining the script, appointing a director, selecting roles, and preparing for filming, all the preparations are going very smoothly now!

As a big IP that is extremely popular around the world, the preparations for the new 007 movie will naturally attract the attention of many people.

After all, anyone with a brain knows clearly that no matter how poorly this movie is made, there are still too many fans willing to buy it for the all-powerful "James Bond" in their memory, and the box office will definitely be the same...

So naturally, too many people are already eyeing the characters in this movie!

In order to prove his loyalty and ability to Huo Mingjie, Leon, that elite old white man, ensured that Huo Mingjie would be able to star in the movie even before the movie script was finalized.

As for the role, I definitely can't play "James Bond"!

Not to mention that we haven't reached the age where we pay attention to the correctness of zz, but even if we are here, it seems that the only way to go in Hollywood is to have a black skin.

As long as Chinese-Americans and even all actors with Asian faces don't reach the level of Cheng Long, they can't expect to be the main star in a movie.

Not to mention investors, even the audience over there won’t buy it...

Under such objective conditions, Huo Mingjie certainly couldn't rely on his money-making ability to imitate the black men and insist on "turning a deer into a horse" and insisting on changing the white male setting of "James Bond" to a yellow one. people!

But even so, Huo Mingjie still has certain requirements for his role.

There may not be many roles, but the character image must be good, and it is best to have a certain amount of room for performance.

The most important thing is that he cannot be a villain in the true sense!

A character like Fu Manchu, who is obviously disgusting to us, would actually be played for money...

Huo Mingjie's request is actually not too high. In view of the booming development in the mainland in the past two years, the movie box office market cannot be ignored. Others within New MGM are also happy to add some Chinese faces and elements to the movie. !

Other movies are actually shot in the Mainland, or find a Mainland star to act in a scene for a few seconds.

But out of respect for Huo Mingjie's "capital" status, New MGM not only did not object, but even thought that if there was no suitable role, they could design a role specifically for Huo Mingjie...

Finally, the list of roles in the new 007 movie was finalized, and Huo Mingjie's name was among them, starring in the new generation of Dr. Q.

This character has appeared in several old movies. He is a quartermaster who specializes in providing 007 with various high-tech props and has helped James Bond save the day many times.

This is typically a supporting role for the protagonist, with not many roles. And Dr. Q back then also officially retired in that "Dark Days" movie.

Huo Mingjie plays the second generation Q this time. The setting is the same as the old version and he is its successor.

The characters are set up as highly intelligent technology developers, computer masters, and young inventors who specialize in providing Bond with various high-tech props.

A smart science man, young but quite capable, he is the protagonist's loyal, reliable and trustworthy assistant.

This is the most suitable role for Huo Mingjie now, considering the pros and cons under the existing conditions.

In such a high-profile IP commercial movie, such a character has an outstanding image and a relatively small number of roles. Generally, Asian-faced actors are not cast in the role. Instead, they are used to praise new-faced white actors. !

Anyway, after the cast list was announced, and after seeing an Asian face like Huo Mingjie appearing in it, or playing such a role, many actors from Bangzi and Sakura Country were interested.

With the idea of ​​"If you can do it, I can do it too", many people tried to snatch the role from Huo Mingjie, a little-known Chinese actor.

The final result, of course, is that none of them can succeed.

Huo Mingjie got this role because of his status as the man behind the scenes of New MGM. Even if others wanted to steal it, he couldn't!

Now, SB Company, which came to seek cooperation with Huo Mingjie, roughly found out something.

So they came here for Huo Mingjie, who is very famous in the mainland, even in East and Southeast Asia, and has a promising future even in Hollywood.

Signing Huo Mingjie already represents considerable benefits.

At the same time, Ta Ma is also aiming at the new MGM that has been reorganized behind Huo Mingjie and wants to regain its former glory!

SB Company has high hopes in Bangzi Country, and they are directed to develop into the international film industry.

It’s just that although the situation of South Korea in Hollywood is better than that in the mainland, it is limited.

A serious Hollywood company like Warner may not look down on them.

So naturally, they set their sights on the former Hollywood giant, the new MGM, which has a very deep foundation and has just successfully merged and reorganized...

After repeated consideration, Huo Mingjie finally did not refuse the olive branch thrown by this side, but was willing to arrange for someone to continue the detailed discussion.

After all, there are many benefits to cooperating with this side.

Apart from being able to find a way to broadcast "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and "Shan Shan Comes to Eat" that were previously suppressed, SB is even willing to help "Search" and "Animal Management Bureau" two movies to be released in South Korea...

But in the end, whether to agree or not, Huo Mingjie still thinks that he can see what kind of scripts they can get.

To be honest, Huo Mingjie remembers that the movies and TV series "co-produced by China and South Korea" are more reliable in the past few years.

Then, the ones they filmed together 10 years later seemed to be mostly things that didn't even pass the Douban score.

If it really didn't work out, Huo Mingjie really didn't plan to go and shoot some crappy movies for these benefits...

When the people from SB saw Huo Mingjie expressed his intention to continue the contact, they were immediately overjoyed.

In order to show that they were really cooperating, they directly expressed their sincerity.

SB's main business is still movies, and there is still some relationship with the TV station, so the two idol dramas "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and "Shan Shan Come to Eat" will have to wait a little longer.

But things like "Search" and "Animal Management Bureau" being released in Korea are worth talking about.

Green Shade Media also made some efforts before, but it was not able to obtain the qualification to be released here.

But now with the cooperation of SB, everything has become extremely smooth.

Huo Mingjie had just gone to the country of cherry blossoms to attend the Tokyo Film Festival, and the company knew that the film introduction process in Korea, which had been stuck, had started to go green!

Although the release date has not been confirmed immediately, there has been considerable progress. These two movies will definitely be released in South Korea this year.

In addition, SB Company has also promised to broadcast the two idol dramas that Huo Mingjie was holding back.

The "ice-breaking" in South Korea was earlier than Huo Mingjie had imagined before.

I think when Huo Mingjie comes to South Korea next time, the treatment should be much better...

——

After just over a month, Huo Mingjie returned to the country of cherry blossoms again because he was going to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival.

The last time Huo Mingjie came, he was chased and blocked by fans and entertainment reporters at the airport. Even the private jet he just got was exposed before it was warmed up.

I thought that this time the film festival was being held here, and the attention of the public and entertainment reporters would be divided, and the scene should not be so exaggerated.

But what Huo Mingjie didn't expect was that the scene that greeted him when he left the airport was even bigger than the last time!

A large number of fans gathered here, holding all kinds of strange cheering items in their hands, vying to shout Huo Mingjie's name with an awkward accent.

A considerable number of media pressed the shutter as soon as they saw Huo Mingjie.

The flash in front of him flashed, making Huo Mingjie frown and subconsciously squint his eyes.

This is actually the expression that was subconsciously revealed when the flash hit his eyes.

But it was this subtle expression that suddenly added a hint of coldness to Huo Mingjie's already handsome and perfect face.

Then in an instant, the sound of shutter pressing became more frequent, and the flash kept flashing.

The eyes of these fans who ran over became more obsessed and wandering, and even their faces flushed.

After all, it is a nation that can feel good when being scolded and compete to be the most obedient dog when being beaten. At this time, Huo Mingjie, who was frowning with a cold face, probably poked the "XP" of the Sakura people, causing them to cheer directly.

The atmosphere was so exciting that Huo Mingjie even thought he had come to a fan meeting.

Da Meiyuan, who also took the same flight with Huo Mingjie, lowered her head and took out her sunglasses from her bag and wanted to hand them to Huo Mingjie.

Huo Mingjie was a little disgusted with her ladies' sunglasses and shook his head to let her put them on herself.

Da Meiyuan saw that he didn't seem to be uncomfortable, lowered her head and put them on for her, but couldn't help but whispered:

"I remember you beat up their people here..."

When Huo Mingjie encountered the torch incident in the Sakura Country, he immediately demonstrated the force of "Hundred Enemies" and suppressed the young wing groups who were making trouble by himself.

After all, it was an Olympic event that the whole world was paying attention to at the time, and the incident was quite a big deal. Not only did it cause heated discussions in the mainland and the Sakura Country, but it was even reported in the Korean Country.

Huo Mingjie shrugged his shoulders when he heard what Da Meiyuan said:

"Yes, but it seems that not many people care about this matter... I even gained a group of Kung Fu fans in Sakura Country because of this."

Huo Mingjie's appeal to fans is indeed terrifying. If he is given a chance, he may not be able to raise a group of crazy fans who can even ignore their positions in order to chase stars.

But it must be said that if it was a few years later, Huo Mingjie's influence in Sakura Country would definitely not be as exaggerated as it is now!

The young wing thought in Sakura Country has not yet fully emerged, and this year there is even a pro-China prime minister who advocates the recognition of historical crimes.

Otherwise, after the incident, even if Huo Mingjie himself was right, he could be led by certain groups in Sakura Country to be condemned by everyone, and it would be impossible for him to be so popular and welcomed as he is now...

The news that "Huo Dian" has come to Sakura Country again has exploded on the Internet in Sakura Country.

And because of the photo of him frowning and squinting when facing the flash, on the Internet in Sakura Country, Huo Mingjie's original title of "the most noble and beautiful boy in the sky" was changed to "the most cold and stern noble son in the sky".

Not to mention, it sounds a bit more high-end...

A considerable number of Sakura Country fans started to go crazy at this photo of Huo Mingjie, and some fanatical fans' outrageous remarks were even the kind that people called perverted.

At the same time, the domestic Internet also began to get lively.

Because these things that Huo Mingjie did outside were almost transmitted back to the domestic Internet at the same time.

"Huo Mingjie won the most popular award at the Busan Film Festival", "Huo Mingjie was invited to star in the popular movie 007 series", "Huo Mingjie's popularity in the country of cherry blossoms"

These three entries appeared one after another, directly occupying three of the top ten hot searches on Weibo.

In fact, these three things are far less impressive than they seem.

The award won at the Busan Film Festival is a consolation award, with almost no gold content.

In the 007 movie starring Huo Mingjie, he was just a supporting role to cooperate with the protagonist.

There are many fans in the country of cherry blossoms, but they are basically composed of young girls, full-time wives and old ladies, relying on a face.

Huo Mingjie has gone abroad and has a little fame, but he is far from the level of Cheng Long, and has not yet reached the point where people are vying to praise him.

But these three things piled together, the popularity is terrifying, and on the surface it looks quite awesome!

On the Internet, a group of fanatical fans once again appeared and frantically advocated...
