Chapter 597 "Socializing"? Is There Any Color in It?
At the dinner table, Huo Mingjie, who was not very interested in Japanese food, took a few bites and then put down his chopsticks.
Sitting opposite, director Cui Dongxun was talking endlessly about his movie.
Ms. Jin, who was sitting next to her, began to act as a translator between the two, relaying everything Director Cui said to Huo Mingjie.
"This is a crime movie similar to "Ocean's Eleven". On the surface, thieves from two countries join forces to steal a priceless diamond, but in fact it is a well-planned revenge..."
This type of crime movie is what Director Choi is best at.
And because of the different review systems between the two sides, Bangzi Country is indeed better at this type of movie.
The movie we are talking about now contains many elements, including crime, gunfights, gangsters, revenge...
For this kind of movie, don’t talk about connotation, conception, and so on.
A typical movie is a crime-themed movie that adds a twist to the plot and makes full use of the business model!
The recognition of this kind of movie in the circle is not as high as that of other literary films. But you have to admit that in the end, this type of movie often beats ten literary films at the box office.
Huo Mingjie wants to carry out an "ice-breaking" operation in Bangzi Country and increase his reputation in Bangzi Country as much as possible. Acting in this kind of movie is the most suitable!
Listening to Director Cui's description, Huo Mingjie felt that the movie was quite interesting.
No matter in terms of movie theme or storyline, it is not a classic movie, but it is not a bad movie by any means.
Moreover, after Huo Mingjie heard the general content of the script he described, he suddenly had a vague memory image in his mind.
Huo Mingjie couldn't remember the specific content of the movie. He probably saw a short video explaining the movie on his phone in his previous life.
However, since Huo Mingjie, a person who did not pay much attention to the entertainment works of Bangzi Country in his previous life, can have a slightly vague impression, it proves that the final results of this movie are at least good!
Seeing that Huo Mingjie did not interrupt and seemed to want to continue listening, Director Cui became more enthusiastic and even took the initiative to chat about the character setting and the corresponding plot content.
When it came time to finally describe the open ending of this character, Huo Mingjie suddenly interrupted:
"The plot of the role I was invited to play seems to have been modified, right?"
As soon as this statement came out, Ms. Jin was shocked, and then she didn't even bother to translate it for Director Cui, so she hurriedly explained:
"The script is still in the early stages of creation, and it is normal to make modifications and improvements..."
Huo Mingjie and Ms. Jin suddenly interrupted him and asked Director Cui, who was sitting opposite him, to talk about the content of the movie incessantly. He was stunned and looked at the two of them with some confusion.
Ms. Jin looked at Huo Mingjie's expression and saw that he didn't have much reaction, so she quickly complimented:
"Mr. Huo is really amazing. He immediately discovered that the script was still being revised. Is it because he realized that the plot of this character was not coherent?"
When Huo Mingjie heard this, he immediately shook his head and said with a smile:
"No, it's just that I simply feel that this scene of leading the remaining team to take revenge on the mastermind behind the scenes could never have been played by me!"
In this movie, the gang of thieves assembled by China and the United States originally had everything going smoothly, but when they got the target treasure, they discovered that they were just bait to attract firepower for the mastermind behind the scenes.
The original theft plan failed, and the nine-member "elite" team of thieves assembled by the two countries ended up losing more than half.
Those who survive will, under the leadership of Huo Mingjie's character, begin to take revenge and regain the treasure...
Huo Mingjie really couldn't remember the content of the original movie, nor could he remember which character this plot was originally about.
But after all, it was filmed in Bangzi Country, so I know that the perspective of the movie will definitely be on the "thieves" from Bangzi Country.
As far as Bangzi Country is concerned, this kind of cool drama of leading the team to a desperate comeback and finally completing "revenge" must be arranged for their own talents.
The gang of thieves from China should have been wiped out in the middle of the movie...
But in the current version, the character played by Huo Mingjie leads the revenge.
You must know that the role he was invited to play is the leader of thieves here in China!
I also knew that this must be to invite myself to star, and the content of the script was temporarily modified, and the original plot was transferred to the character of Huo Mingjie!
Director Cui on the side did not understand Chinese, and he had no idea what the two were talking about at this time. He just saw Ms. Jin busy explaining something, and he couldn't help but look a little at a loss on his face.
"I understand, keep talking." Huo Mingjie waved his hand, so that Ms. Jin did not need to explain any more, and by the way, he motioned to Director Cui to continue.
But after all, this operation is to give Huo Mingjie more drama. Even if Huo Mingjie doesn't agree to star in the end, he obviously won't be dissatisfied.
Huo Mingjie, who originally thought the movie script was okay, now became even more interested!
When Ms. Jin saw this, she felt relieved.
Knowing this, she was able to translate the conversation between her and Huo Mingjie to Director Cui next to her.
Director Cui suddenly felt solemn after knowing that Huo Mingjie could keenly discover that the character's plot had been modified just from the rough script content he described.
As expected of an actor who is highly recognized by the mainland and the country of cherry blossoms, it is definitely not just because of a good-looking face!
Director Cui was more careful, subconsciously straightened his sitting posture, and then bowed his head to admit his mistake.
"The current movie script may be a little rough, and our director solemnly apologizes to you. The director hopes that you can give him some more time, and he will definitely improve the entire script again!" Ms. Jin on the side helped translate.
Whether it is for SB Company or Director Cui himself, the idea of cooperating with Huo Mingjie and thus getting on the new MGM relationship is extremely urgent.
Entering Hollywood is what they are most looking forward to now.
After all, the potential exclusivity of Hollywood is not only a headache for mainland practitioners, but also for people from the country of cherry blossoms and the country of Korea!
They don't want to offend Huo Mingjie, for fear that they will lose this opportunity due to their negligence and let others seize the opportunity...
Because of this "fear of gain and loss" mentality, the right to speak at this time directly fell to Huo Mingjie.
The state shown is that Ms. Jin and Director Cui on the other side are very sincere, and even look a bit like "licking dogs".
And it must be said that if he agrees to cooperate with this side, it will be of great benefit to Huo Mingjie!
In 2009, the consumption level of South Korea is undoubtedly much higher than that of the mainland. So don't look at the small place in South Korea, but the market is not small.
If Huo Mingjie's works are introduced to South Korea by taking the opportunity of cooperating with SB Company, at least hundreds of millions of RMB can be taken back.
Moreover, this market has been opened up, and with the fan base, even if people here want to suppress Huo Mingjie, there is little hope. Isn't this money to be earned?
Besides, it's good to go to South Korea, the birthplace of Korean Wave, to make a fuss and carry out a wave of cultural invasion!
After eating good things, it will become unbearable to let people try something worse.
After getting used to Huo Mingjie's handsome face, the girls in Korea may not be able to tolerate those Korean male idols who can't stand it without makeup...
Huo Mingjie was quite tempted at this time, but he still kept his composure on the surface.
Who let them rush too much and expose their eagerness!
Huo Mingjie just nodded indifferently to Director Cui's sincere apology, without showing any special emotions on his face.
Ms. Jin and her friends, who were already unsure, became a little anxious at this time.
Huo Mingjie's reaction was not very positive to begin with. If the cooperation was shelved because of omissions in the script, they would all be responsible!
At this moment, Ms. Jin's mobile phone on the table suddenly vibrated.
She quickly picked up the phone and took a look, and her frowning brows just relaxed a little.
After winking at her subordinates, she stood up and apologized to Huo Mingjie;
"I'm sorry, I need to take a call now. Before I come back, we will ask our translator to continue to help you communicate with the director."
Huo Mingjie didn't care too much about it, and nodded directly, then turned to look at Director Cui who was eager to convince him, and listened to him talking about his movie plot with a faint expression.
Ms. Jin stood up and walked out of this rather antique Japanese box, then put on her shoes and walked to the corridor outside.
Her assistant had just arrived here, and she was accompanied by several young Japanese girls of different styles, standing together in the corridor.
"These are all signed artists under TC Agency, which has cooperated with our group, so we contacted them through the relationship with the group and came to help with the socializing temporarily." The assistant said.
Then the agent who came with these Japanese girls was a man in his thirties or forties in a suit with a middle part, and bowed slightly to Ms. Jin at this time.
After taking a general look at these Japanese girls, Ms. Jin didn't seem very satisfied.
Then she didn't even need a translator, and immediately switched to fluent Japanese, and asked the agent who came with her:
"Can you find a few more?"
"The young man sitting inside is Mr. Huo Mingjie. I need someone to please him to help us reach a cooperation!"
Since it can be seen that Huo Mingjie is actually a playboy, it is natural to cater to his preferences.
If this were in South Korea, SB Company could find Huo Mingjie all kinds of beautiful girls to accompany him.
But now they are in Sakura Country, which is unfamiliar, so they can only rely on the "LOTTE" group behind SB Company to contact the cooperation company in Sakura Country...
After hearing what Ms. Jin said, the agent was silent for a moment, but then asked in an obscure tone:
"What level do you need to achieve?"
No matter where the entertainment industry is, there are not many stars who can do whatever they want like Huo Mingjie, and most stars can't escape socializing.
But when it comes to "socializing", it also has different levels.
Some are just simple socializing over meals, but the popular stars take the initiative to toast and show their goodwill, which is enough to satisfy the vanity of quite a few people.
In some cases, it is necessary to go one step further, two steps further, or even to "entertain" without a bottom line...
After all, the dinner was prepared in a hurry, and Ms. Jin asked people to come on a whim.
Anyway, according to the agent, there are only a few people who can be found suddenly, who are willing to let go and give up.
If you want more beautiful girls who meet the requirements, you can't find them for a while, so you may need to "lower" the requirements and find some girls who are not too willing to lower their bottom line...
Hearing this, Ms. Jin thought for a moment and said:
"Find more people!"
Ms. Jin, who has studied Huo Mingjie carefully, believes that he may be a playboy by nature, but he will never behave too wildly, and he may even be a very cautious and restrained person.
Because Huo Mingjie's current image is still quite good, and the public even feels that he is a self-disciplined person.
It is obvious that he is ambiguous with the female friends around him, but there is no real evidence!
If it weren't for his caution, the paparazzi in the mainland would have dug up a lot of explosive information about him, and they wouldn't have been making a fuss about those seemingly true and false rumors...
In short, Huo Mingjie is still abroad now, and a public figure who follows the idol route should not be too "unrestrained" in front of outsiders like them!
Of course, there is another more important point.
A man as young and handsome as Huo Mingjie, who is so successful in his career, will not lack beautiful girls around him.
Anyway, the big beauty and the eight billion sister she saw tonight are definitely not comparable to these cherry blossom girls in front of her. Huo Mingjie must be very picky.
In addition, from the perspective of a beauty fan, Ms. Jin thinks that these cherry blossom girls in front of her are not worthy of sitting next to Huo Mingjie!
After hearing what Ms. Jin said, the agent immediately understood and said:
"Okay, I know. Please wait a few minutes, I will arrange other suitable candidates to come."
As long as it is not the kind of "socializing" with color, but a simple dinner, he can arrange more people on his side.
In a sense, this kind of dinner party can be regarded as an opportunity for some newly debuted female stars to make connections.
Making friends at such a dinner party is much more cost-effective than attending a film festival.
Some potential newcomers in the company can also be directly called over this time...
