Chapter 199: Am I Crazy?
Everyone has a different answer, if you ask Chi Mingzhe, who is lying in bed now, he will tell you that happiness is two naughty cuties who sneak into the quilt early in the morning and don't know what they are messing with.
"Are you sure this is edible?"
Sister Park looked at the proud thing in front of her and asked uncertainly.
"Don't believe it, hurry up! Oba is waking up!"
"But ......"......
When he opened his eyes, Ji Mingzhe's vision was a little blurry, and the two girls who should have been sleeping were gone, but a huge bulge supported by the quilt under his feet made him understand that the girls were naughty again.
He didn't alarm them, he still lay down and didn't move, as Chi Laoshi, he still had some expectations in his heart, although the two little cuties were young, but it was time to grow up, and many girls of their age in the United States had already been in love.
"Hmm...... Boom ......"
When Park Ji-yeon pulled it out of her mouth, there was a sound, which made Xiujing's eyes widen, and she almost laughed.
"Ahem...... Not tasty......"
"Hehe!" ......
A glimmer of light penetrated into the quilt, interrupting their conversation, and the two girls looked at Ji Mingzhe's expressionless face in horror.
"Naughty!"
Darkness fell again under the covers.
"You eat ...... too"
"I don't ...... Hmmm......"
Sister Park stuffed it directly into Xiujing's small mouth.
"Ah......h
When the quilt is lifted again, the cuties are scooped into Oba's arms.
"I didn't bite it...... Don't dare next time, Oba!"
Park Ji-yeon hurriedly defended.
"Well, so do I. ”
pouted and wanted to pretend to cry, but Xiujing knew that admitting her mistakes in time would always be forgiven by Oba.
"That'...... Get all on your stomach!"......
"Smack...... Smack......"
Pouting their asses and lying on the bed in a proper manner, the two girls were punished by Chi Oba.
But they were still secretly laughing, as if it was not a punishment but just Oba's love and even blame, blaming them for not doing things well.
"Okay! get dressed and washed, let's go to the hotel for breakfast!"
"Oh......"
Xiujing and Ji-yeon rushed to the bathroom, and a smile hung on the corner of his mouth, which seemed to contain the joy and relief of a teacher who had come out because of the rapid improvement of students' grades......
"Oba morning!"
"You're ...... early"
In the restaurant of the hotel, many girls have already gotten up, and many of them came here after the morning exercise, and they were happy to greet Chi Mingzhe when they saw it.
Su-yeon came in with Mi-young, and at a glance, she saw Ji Myung-cheol sitting in the corner with Su-jing and Ji-yeon, talking and laughing while eating. took the food and held the plate, and then sat down at the table of Yun'er and Xiuying, and glared at Ji Mingzhe fiercely while eating. Her sister was not in the room last night, and she knew where she went, but she no longer had to settle accounts with Chi Laoshi like before, but her heart was more sour and helpless.
When Jin Ruansoft came in, just as Chi Mingzhe raised her head, the moment her eyes collided, the smile on her face bloomed suddenly, and Chi Lao's wet heart was paralyzed from afar, and then she wrinkled her nose and made a playful appearance. When he walked to the dining table to choose food, he secretly turned around and glanced at him, and the delicate in his eyes made Chi Oba can't help but make a small gesture of kissing her, but then a cold gaze stabbed him, and he lowered his head and quickly stuffed a piece of bread into his mouth.
While eating, he suddenly raised his head and made a kiss gesture at Xiuyeon, who was still staring at him.
"Cut...... Poof......"
Zheng Xiuyan couldn't laugh or cry, and glanced at him fiercely.
With a flattering face, Ji Mingzhe also smiled at her, and Xiuyan looked away and ate.
"What's wrong?"
Mi-young, who was opposite, looked at Su-yeon and asked.
"Nothing! Eat it......"
Meiying turned her head suspiciously, just in time to see Ji Mingzhe, her small mouth pursed, showing a smile, and of course she also got a kiss from Oba.
"You eat slowly, I'll go first. ”
"Uh-huh......"
Wiping his mouth, Chi Mingzhe got up, explained to the two girls, and walked out of the restaurant, with a bunch of eyes behind him focused on his hurried back......
In MGM Pictures' office, Huang Yiyu and Huang Ziren, who had not been seen for a long time, were waiting in the chairman's office, and when Chi Mingzhe appeared, they stood up very respectfully to greet him. For such a long time, the two have been getting along and have become famous in Hollywood, but they have always been very grateful to Chi Mingzhe in their hearts. If it wasn't for his appreciation at the beginning, how could it be possible for the two Asians to join the ranks of directors.
The process of film production in Hollywood is very complex and standardized, especially when the project is established, all kinds of discussions and research are annoying, and when selecting directors, they will also take out their previous materials for comparison and arrangement, and finally pick the most suitable one in everyone's common choice. These director materials have long been reserved by major companies, from the past box office results, as well as the audience's reputation and recognition, to the recent box office results, are the criteria for determining the director's ability.
And Huang Yiyu and Huang Ziren's past director information is blank, which also determines that it is impossible for them to be selected as film directors by any other film company, but Chi Mingzhe has supported them wholeheartedly, and he is also relieved to boldly let them go, which is trust and kindness.
"Sit down!"
After the two sat down, Ji Mingzhe took out two scripts from his bag and handed them to them.
"Your film results in the past two years have been very good, and you have also won word of mouth, I hope you will continue to work hard, you will take a look at these two scripts first. ”
"Good boss!"
There was silence in the office, and there was the occasional sound of papers flipping through them, but Ji Mingzhe didn't bother them, and then Perry pushed open the door and walked in.
"Hey, William, I saw you come in just now. ”
"Sit down, Perry!"
Turning his head to look at Huang Yiyu and them, Perry sat at his desk.
"New script again?"
"Yes, I decided to leave it to them. ”
Perry said, taking a look at it.
"William, we're not the same as before, we have to follow the rules, such as a new script...... Of course, I'm not questioning your abilities. ”
"I understand, Perry!"
Perry was about to say something, but was interrupted by Ji Mingzhe raising his hand.
"What is the situation at MGM, we were very clear when we took over, if we still follow the previous rules, it will inevitably be all kinds of delays and rip-offs, but you are right, now it is different from before, I will not object to the rules and procedures, but the beginning of this period of time will be in accordance with my methods, and when MGM can really breathe a sigh of relief, we will follow the rules and regulations, you see?"
After thinking about it, Perry still nodded, he also thought that what Chi Mingzhe said was right, MGM now has an empty shelf and is still eating his old book, living on the copyrights of various films and TV series in the film library, if it weren't for Chi Mingzhe's subsequent huge investment, maybe MGM would be in trouble again, and then it would really make Hollywood colleagues laugh off their teeth.
Huang Yiyu and Wen Ziren have closed the script in their hands and waited patiently, but the two of them are even more grateful to Chi Mingzhe in their hearts, if this is in order, they can no longer take the film lightly, and they have to join the company's shortlist together, fortunately, the resume is no longer an ugly blank, "Death is Coming" and "Chainsaw" have also become two classic series, and there are many fans in North America and countries around the world.
The two books in their hands are "Dead Silence" and "The Conjuring" , are all small-budget horror films, it is said that these are all films shot by Huang Ziren in the future, but Chi Mingzhe can't manage so much, and the books he took out have been registered, what he wants now is to make MGM rejuvenated, a large number of films, leaving people's impressions, MGM is still the original Hollywood company, of course, the box office must also be excellent, for this Chi Mingzhe is not worried, if the script he gave is not ideal at the box office, it will be difficult to play the emotional card with the Oscars in the future. In particular, the script of "Dead Silence", which was a hit horror film that year, won the fourth best result at the North American box office, and "The Conjuring" is also very popular.
Fortunately, this time Chi Mingzhe's two films can be said to have made a good start, "Cold Mountain" and "The Departed" have become Oscar favorites, just like in previous lives, last year's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" won 11 awards including Best Picture, Director and Original Book Adaptation, tying and setting a number of records. And Ji Mingzhe's two films have also received a large number of nominations, "Cold Mountain" is Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Original Song, Best Original Score, Best Actor, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Director, and Best Picture, while "The Departed" won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Song, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actor.
If you count it, Chi Mingzhe's film has won a total of 16 nominations, of course, there are overlaps, but it has also made the American media in an uproar, they are all optimistic about this year's Oscars, and there will definitely be a dragon fight, and there will be a lot of topics in various news reports.
"It's so decided, Ziren, you shoot "Dead Silence", Lao Huang will shoot "The Conjuring", after the report is made, it will be handed over to Perry for review, and the action will be fast. ”
The two left the office with great energy.
"Actually, there are two more scripts that I am going to hand over to the two directors of MGM in South Korea to shoot. ”
"What? William, you're not kidding?"
Afraid that Perry would not be frightened enough, Ji Mingzhe said his plan with a smile again.
"Why are you kidding? You forgot what I said back then, I want to give Asian directors a place in Hollywood. ”
"Ugh...... You seem to have said that...... But ......"
"Perry, we've been working together for many years, and when I first started directing, I only did a graduation film. Thanks to the help of the teachers and professors at the college, I also had the opportunity to enter the circle. But I'll never forget what those people said, just because I'm Asian. ”
"William, I understand, from the day you bought MGM, I wondered if you were sent by God, I had planned to wait until I retired and go back to my hometown, but ...... This is MGM! I will always be the first to support your decision!"
"Thanks, old man!"
The two hands were tightly clenched, and when Perry was about to start, he was stopped by Ji Mingzhe again.
"Don't rush to leave, there's a plan for you to see. ”
Smiling, Ji handed Perry a copy of the acquisition proposal.
"Oh...... Oh my God...... Are you crazy...... This...... Can this be done?"
Perry was stunned to look at the plan in his hand, looking at the string of company names, and after a while, Perry took out a handkerchief and wiped the sweat on his forehead from time to time, but there was madness in his eyes.
"I'm crazy?......"
"No...... William!...... I'm crazy to watch this...... But if that can happen...... Do you have enough money?"
"Huh...... Money is not an issue, and I'm just going to buy two or three of them, and Oscar will start this plan later. ”
"I'm for you! But I guess the media will go crazy by then. ”
Looking at the names of the key companies marked on the plan, Perry made a move.
"Who cares!"
"Hahaha......"
The two then burst out of the office with a mad laugh.
"Oh my God! the boss is crazy!"
Outside the office, many employees scattered in a hurry. (To be continued.) )
