Chapter 596 Romantic? Then Please Him!
Most of the time, Huo Mingjie and the people from Xiao Rizi's side were in a state of language barrier.
So many people who came over could only say hello to Huo Mingjie.
Although they didn't understand, they knew they were saying hello by looking at their nodding, bending and smiling faces.
At this time, Huo Mingjie only needed to nod and smile, and say a few words of "hello" and "thank you" to end it.
Later, some people reacted quickly and directly found people who knew Chinese and English to act as translators.
Or some people simply spoke Chinese and English that they didn't know where they learned from, and talked to Huo Mingjie confidently.
Then Huo Mingjie began to suffer!
Whether it was learning Chinese or English on Xiao Rizi's side, they always had some weird accents, causing Huo Mingjie to have to guess and try to understand what they meant.
This thing is not as good as the beginning...
After sending away two more directors from Xiao Rizi's side, Huo Mingjie couldn't help but sighed with some fatigue.
Sister Bayi, who had been staying by Huo Mingjie's side and was unwilling to leave, immediately took the opportunity to ask:
"Several directors have just handed you their business cards. Do they want to find you to make a movie?"
Sister Bayi often goes abroad and frequently attends major film festivals. The mainland press releases directly start to praise her as an "international superstar", but her language level is average...
Well, okay. Even if she is good at it, she may not be able to understand the spoken language of the two Xiaori directors just now!
Hearing Sister Bayi's question, Huo Mingjie picked up a thick stack of business cards in his hand and shook it, nodding:
"Well, it seems that's what he meant."
Sister Bayi was jealous when he heard this.
Speaking of which, she also made a movie here at Xiaori, "Shinjuku Incident" that she worked with Cheng Long, but that movie was actually invested domestically.
And don't think that she is busy attending major film festivals all day long, but in fact, she is just walking on the red carpet. There is nothing good to show for the selection. Sometimes she is even chased away by security guards. If you are not thick-skinned, you may not be able to participate!
As a result, Huo Mingjie showed up at the film festival, and immediately many directors who made a living took the initiative to hand over their business cards. They were extremely attentive!
This is actually normal. These directors have a certain appreciation ability, and Huo Mingjie's acting skills are quite recognized by this group of people.
The most important thing is that Huo Mingjie, who has been called the "female killer" in the country of cherry blossoms, has a huge fan base, from menopausal old ladies to JK little loli.
The "Animal Management Bureau" released in the country of cherry blossoms has a general screening rate and hasty pre-promotion.
But it is with Huo Mingjie's appeal that he has fought his way out. Not only did it sell well at the box office, but even the DVD sales have set a new record!
This kind of actor with excellent acting skills and the ability to attract a large number of fans to the cinema to support him is simply a hot commodity!
"You should be more cautious about this kind of thing, don't be fooled!" Sister Bayi's tone was inevitably a little sour.
She debuted several years earlier than Huo Mingjie, and she was already popular when Huo Mingjie was just starting out.
When acting in the new version of "Investiture of the Gods", Huo Mingjie tried his best to play a small supporting role, and most of his scenes were deleted after a little suppression.
As a result, in just three or four years, Huo Mingjie became "famous overseas", but she could only rely on walking on the red carpet everywhere to get some heat.
Sister Bayi is a competitive person. She used to play friendly matches with Huo Mingjie, and she would not let go even when she was exhausted.
At this time, comparing the situations before and after the two, she felt a little unbalanced!
Huo Mingjie frowned when he heard her words, but he nodded and agreed directly:
"You are right, we should be cautious about cooperation... So I just dealt with it casually and didn't agree to any of them."
While speaking, Huo Mingjie handed the stack of business cards in his hand to Da Meiyuan beside him.
Da Meiyuan took the business cards in her hand like a hardworking assistant.
When Sister Bayi heard Huo Mingjie's agreement, she was choked again.
Then she couldn't help but glance at the business card in Da Meiyuan's hand again, and whispered:
"Well, but you can't be too careful, otherwise you will miss a lot of opportunities!"
Da Meiyuan beside him couldn't help but rolled her eyes at Sister Bayi.
You really said everything, bah...
Huo Mingjie laughed and said nonchalantly:
"It doesn't matter, I don't lack these opportunities!"
Sister Bayi shook her head immediately after hearing this, and said earnestly:
"It's not like the mainland. If you miss a good opportunity, you will regret it!"
This is the truth. No matter how famous the mainland stars are, no one cares about them when they come out to make a living. To some extent, it can be considered as starting from scratch.
But you have no fan base outside, so why would those producers and investors who are looking at money give you the opportunity to start from scratch?
This is why so many stars who have gone abroad in recent years have not made a name for themselves.
Huo Mingjie shrugged and didn't continue talking.
No matter whether Sister Bayi is feeling sour or really sighing because it's not easy for mainland stars to make a living outside, Huo Mingjie has no time to care about her for the time being.
Because at this time, another group of people walked towards Huo Mingjie.
The five or six people who came this time were even more complicated!
In addition to the people from Sakura Country, there were even Koreans with strange English accents.
The leader was Ms. Jin, who had just met Huo Mingjie in Korea.
SB Company was very close to him, and had contacted Green Shade Media many times in just two days.
Huo Chengyin also knew his second uncle's thoughts, so he naturally kept a high attitude when dealing with SB Company, and always dealt with them indifferently.
A "arrogant" attitude that didn't matter, didn't care, and didn't look down on them.
Seeing this attitude, they were even more afraid that Huo Mingjie would refuse.
In order to show their sincerity as much as possible, Ms. Jin even directly expressed her willingness to come over for a detailed discussion after knowing that Huo Mingjie came to Sakura Country to participate in the film festival.
Ms. Jin also brought a middle-aged man with glasses this time, who took the initiative to shake hands with Huo Mingjie after seeing him.
Ms. Jin, who can speak fluent Mandarin, started to introduce directly:
"This is Mr. Cui Dongxun, the director and screenwriter of the crew. This time I came here to talk to you, Mr. Huo, about this movie."
The director came here in person, which is indeed very sincere...
Sister Bayi beside him understood it now, knowing that this person came to cooperate with Huo Mingjie again.
From the tone, it seems that they have communicated a long time ago, and this time the director came in person to discuss in detail!
No wonder Huo Mingjie, this kid, has the confidence to say "I don't lack opportunities".
When she thought of her "earnest" tone just now, Sister Bayi, who is used to being outside, actually blushed and became a little embarrassed...
In fact, the information sent by SB Company was already given to Huo Mingjie by her nephew, and he also knew the information of this director named Cui Dongxun.
Huo Mingjie knew that this director in front of him was also a top-tier director in South Korea. He once won several of the most important film awards in South Korea with a movie "Tazza".
Huo Mingjie still has some impression of this movie...
In Korea, directors and screenwriters are at the top of the food chain.
With these two identities, Director Cui has a lot of say in the crew, and even the SB company that invested money has a cooperative attitude towards him.
It stands to reason that actors in Korea have a low status, and Huo Mingjie is not famous in Korea, so Director Cui should not be so "humble".
This is indeed the case! At least before yesterday, Director Cui didn't take Huo Mingjie too seriously in his heart.
The reason why he came to see Huo Mingjie in person was nothing more than that he also wanted to participate in the Tokyo Film Festival this time. Facing the strong request of the sponsor, it was actually just a matter of his doing.
But when he came here, after learning about Huo Mingjie's situation in detail from Ms. Jin, Director Cui immediately changed his attitude.
The most popular young national artist in China, the female killer of Sakura Country, the idol superstar who has become famous in Southeast Asia, and the new star who is highly praised in Hollywood.
The most crucial point is that Huo Mingjie is the one that New MGM is going to promote!
SB did not reveal too much information to Director Cui, so he did not know that Huo Mingjie was the big boss of New MGM.
But Director Cui was also solemnly informed that as long as he got in touch with Huo Mingjie, it was equivalent to getting in touch with New MGM.
Even though New MGM had just experienced turmoil and had completed its merger and reorganization, the former glory of the Hollywood giants was no longer there.
But no matter what, Hollywood, which is tolerant on the surface but exclusive in reality, still regards New MGM as its own!
For those who want to join Hollywood, getting in touch with New MGM is still a great opportunity...
The admiration and yearning for Hollywood is not just for the film and television practitioners in the mainland.
As one of the filial sons, the Korean country is even more crazy about the other side of the ocean.
Under the influence of such a social atmosphere, Director Cui naturally wants to mix in Hollywood!
"Mr. Huo, my friend recommended a very good Japanese restaurant. Since the green carpet event is over, why don't we go and try it together and talk about movies." Ms. Jin said.
Speaking of "green carpet event", it's not that Ms. Jin doesn't know red and green. It's that the theme of this Tokyo Film Festival is environmental protection, and the event really laid a "green carpet" made of environmentally friendly materials!
Now that the main event is over, the speeches and commemorations of directors after the opening ceremony have little to do with Huo Mingjie. Even if he stays here, he may not understand, so there is no need to participate.
Huo Mingjie thought that there was no point in staying here, so he nodded and said:
"Okay, let's go!"
Although he doesn't like Koreans very much, they give him face, and they don't hit smiling people.
And the money of Koreans is still very fragrant!
The attitude is also upright, but it can't be too bad...
Hearing Huo Mingjie agree, Ms. Jin was immediately overjoyed.
The previous contact with Green Shade Media was only a few days, but the calm attitude of the other party, neither positive nor negative, made SB Company very worried.
After all, if they can get some inside information, naturally others can get it!
If someone gets there first and establishes a relationship with Huo Mingjie, the new MGM boss, what will they do?
It was precisely because of this that she brought the director to have a face-to-face exchange with Huo Mingjie, which was full of sincerity.
Now it seems that this method is not wrong!
Huo Mingjie agreed to go here to talk about the movie, and turned his head to look at Da Meiyuan.
Da Meiyuan knew that this group of people wanted to talk to Huo Mingjie about something, so before Huo Mingjie asked if he wanted to go together, she shook her head and said considerately:
"I won't go over, I'll go back to the hotel to rest now..."
While speaking, she also blinked at Huo Mingjie.
Seeing this, Huo Mingjie smiled and nodded.
Sister Bayi on the side had bright eyes and kept staring at Huo Mingjie, hoping that he would also ask her.
She was very good at seizing opportunities, so she wanted to go with Huo Mingjie.
And even if there is no chance this time, with her good communication skills, this is also a good opportunity to make friends, which will be useful sooner or later...
Huo Mingjie turned his head slightly and met the extremely expectant eyes of Sister Bayi.
However, Huo Mingjie, who could guess Sister Bayi's thoughts, pretended not to see it.
Seeing Huo Mingjie turning around without asking a question, Sister Bayi's face fell, and her eyes could not help but look at Huo Mingjie's back with resentment.
It's really like putting on pants and not recognizing people...
Huo Mingjie's communication with the two sisters did not waste too much time.
"Let's go!" Huo Mingjie said to Ms. Jin.
Ms. Jin responded quickly and led Huo Mingjie away directly.
But when she turned around, her eyes couldn't help but wander between the three people.
Although she didn't show anything on her face, she was thinking about something in her heart.
A young and promising, handsome young man, all the information shows that he has no bad habits, but there are more scandals.
Now that she has seen it with her own eyes, Ms. Jin realizes that there may be some scandals, but they may not be scandals!
Well, this kind of thing seems to be nothing wrong with Huo Mingjie.
If he really keeps himself clean, that would be scary!
As the saying goes, "give him what he likes", maybe we can think of some ways to get Huo Mingjie to agree to cooperate...
Thinking of this, Ms. Jin immediately took out her mobile phone while Huo Mingjie was not paying attention, and then sent a text message to the editor under her.
