Chapter 164: The premiere of "Cold Mountain".
Chi Mingzhe will never admit that he is a pervert, and he takes advantage of these girls who are too intimate and take advantage of them, he thinks that it is care and love, and he knows who they are. As for whether he will have that strange kind of happiness in his heart, he will not declare it, what others will think? He doesn't care at all.
"Alright! Ji-yeon! It's Oba who is not good! Don't be heavy-handed, come! Put on your pants and take you to something delicious later!Huh?"
Turning his head and breaking away the girl's little face, Park Ji-yeon was even a little dissatisfied, with beautiful eyes, looking at him watery, his mouth was wet, and Ji Mingzhe's heart was hot when he looked at it.
"Look! Such a beautiful and well-behaved girl, who doesn't like it! I like it to death!"
He muttered in his heart and at the same time explained himself.
"Baby wants to grow up quickly!"
"Okay, then let's eat more and grow up quickly, and Oba is looking forward to it. ”
Caught in Ji Mingzhe's arms, Ji-yeon didn't move, and let him help him put on his pants, his little face was flushed, and his fingers were still caressing his cheeks.
Why did Zhiyan suddenly make that kind of move, she was also at a loss, but she did it subconsciously as soon as her brain was hot, she just thought that Oba loved her so much, she wanted what to give, taking off her pants and letting him spank was a kind of reward, if Oba liked it, she might be more loved than Xiujing in the future. It's not that she doesn't understand anything, she just thinks that she is still young and can't do anything for Oba, as for "what to do", she will remember the scene she once saw Taeyeon Oni make for Oba, she is not sure if she will do the same, Ji Mingzhe will agree, so she has to tentatively make the "naïve" move in front of her, the girl's mind is really a little complicated. Knowing this at a young age can be regarded as a sense of competition. The main reason is that when she treats Zheng Xiujing on weekdays, she always feels that she is bowed, so she thinks about how to "please" herself more and make Oba like herself more, I don't know if Chi Mingzhe knows. How will you feel?
"Oba, help me put it away, I will come to you if I want to see it in the future, okay!"
"Good!"
Looking at the cloth bag full of jewelry and locked in the safe, Zhiyan still had reluctance in her eyes, but such a valuable thing, she also knew that it was only insured if it was placed here in Oba, and in the end, she couldn't help but let Ji Mingzhe use her mobile phone to take a photo of her wearing a crown.
"Let's go!"
"Hmm!"
White sandy beach, gentle sea breeze. Coupled with the good weather of blue sky and white clouds, Chi Mingzhe was relaxed, and the Pu girl next to him held her hand, and her expression was also cheerful. The status in my mind is not much worse than Xiujing.
"Come on!
Seeing Ji Myung-cheol suddenly squatting, Park Ji-yeon was stunned for a moment. Then he quickly climbed onto his back.
"Let's go!"
"Hurry up...... Oba run...... Ha ha!...... rack!"
The figures of the two who disappeared left a string of laughter on the beach......
The time came to July 29th, and the Grand Theater of the Sky Palace was full of friends and stars. The top executives of Hollywood studios, as well as a number of movie stars and directors gather here, and of course, there are also film critics who rely on their mouths to eat. They all received an invitation from MGM Pictures early to attend the premiere of "Cold Mountain", and the Hollywood filmmakers were very face-saving because of MGM's different situation and the unclear relationship with the Oscars. As for what he thinks in his heart, it is unknown, and all Hollywood filmmakers are a little curious about "Cold Mountain", the first film that claims to make MGM re-emerge, to see what kind of situation this movie is that can make MGM and Chi Mingzhe have such confidence.
"Welcome to the premiere of Cold Mountain, and let me invite Mr. William Chi to say a few words for us. ”
Perry handed the microphone to Ji Mingzhe and walked off the stage.
"What I want to say is that we at MGM are making changes step by step in a down-to-earth manner, and at the same time hope to strengthen cooperation with various film companies, as we all know, now the investment in films is getting bigger and bigger, in the case of uncertain market prospects, I think everyone is worried in their hearts, so I welcome the family members of the companies here to maintain regular communication with us, and discuss how to avoid the headache of film investment risks, okay! I will not delay...... Next, please enjoy the following clumsy work. ”
Ji Mingzhe gestured to Perry, and walked off the stage steadily amid warm applause from the audience.
The lights of the theater dimmed, Chi Mingzhe also came to sit down in the front row of the crew, and the big screen on the stage appeared, the company logo of MGM's lion roar, which was no different from before, but the word "skyline" appeared in the letters, which made the senior management of many film companies in the audience complicated, and originally expected that this old Hollywood film company would completely fall, but I didn't expect Chi Mingzhe to take over after he not only ambitiously invested a huge amount of money to integrate, but also had to shoot a lot of movies later, so that MGM returned to the mainstream film market, which seemed to give the company that was almost dying a hope of resurrection。 But who knows what the outcome will be.
At the beginning of the film, it was the Battle of Kret, which took place on July 30, 1864, the scene was grand and tragic, so that everyone in the audience had a sense of immersion, especially the swords and guns, a large number of soldiers crowded together to fight to the death, bloody and cruel, this real scene made the following film critics enthusiastic and excited, and many people looked down while quickly recording something on the notebook in their hands.
And the stars and film directors who watched the movie also stared intently at the big screen, and from time to time whispered something to the people around them. It can be seen that they are all shocked by the grand war scenes of the movie, and they have all learned from news reports before that Chi Mingzhe hired how many group actors in order to film this battle well, just to make the battle scenes look more real and cruel, which made many film production companies puzzled and ridiculed, wondering if Chi Mingzhe did not know that there was a technical means of movie special effects, when the earth-shattering explosion scene appeared. Many people were stunned, and some directors could see that an explosion of this magnitude could not be simulated by special effects.
Jude Law's southern soldier Inman, after being seriously injured in a life-and-death battle, feels that his life is short, so he resolutely drags his sick body to escape from the army. Alone on the way back to his remote hometown of Lengshan, he just thought that there was still his beloved waiting for him in his hometown, and the audience followed Inman's footsteps, and at the same time worried about the unforeseen encounters on his arduous journey back to his hometown.
Nicole Kidman's Ada, who played Ada, also dazzled the audience, a former well-off and kind-hearted woman who suffered all kinds of torture and painful waiting for her sweetheart after her father's sudden death and the slaves abandoned her and fled. But she has been persevering, even if she is constantly harassed by the villain Teague, who covets her beauty, she has not changed her original intention, especially when the girl in the mountains is played by Renee Zellweger Ruby appears, helping Ada spend an independent transformation period in the countryside where mountains and shadows are intertwined, and gradually learn to confront and struggle with the rough and sharp life around her. The acting skills of the two actresses. Needless to say, they are all veterans who have been in the film for many years. Even Natalie Portman, who made a cameo, portrayed the characters very well.
The soundtrack and interludes in the movie "Cold Mountain" have made many moviegoers realize the essence of the film, leaving an unforgettable aftersound in their hearts, and they are reluctant to disperse for a long time. As for Ji Mingzhe's directing skills, in the minds of many directors who watched the movie, they left a pertinent evaluation of "not bad". To know who he is now. It's a rare thing to get such an evaluation. Of course, if you just evaluate the level of the soundtrack of this movie, everyone will not object to giving Ji Mingzhe the title of music master.
At the end of the film, with the death of Inman, many guests kept wiping their tears, feeling sad and sad that the two heroes and heroines in the movie could not get the final consummation of love in the troubled times, and the lights in the theater gradually brightened. The applause gradually rang out, until it became louder and louder, Ji Mingzhe got up and walked onto the stage with a group of crew members, and expressed his gratitude to all the guests who stood up and applauded. Afterwards, all the guests came to a hall on the side of the theater, which was already filled with all kinds of fine wines and meals, and the producer's reception officially began here.
This movie lasts two and a half hours, this is still the screening time of the film that Ji Mingzhe and Lee Yong-sik discussed for a long time before setting the screening time, and the two once argued about it, according to Lee Yong-sik's meaning, since it has been more than two hours, it is better to simply extend it for another ten minutes and make it up to three hours, so as not to ruthlessly discard some hard-working pictures, and also affect the integrity of the plot of the movie, but Ji Mingzhe resolutely objected, he remembered that in his previous life, this movie made the audience feel a sense of procrastination because of the duration, so that "Cold Mountain" I lost that touch of the heart. In the end, when Ji Mingzhe promised Lee Yong-sik that this movie would be made into a family video and released later, he would try to make up for the edited footage to make him feel at ease, after all, Lee Yong-sik worked hard for this movie, and he was more attentive than Director Chi, which can be regarded as a comfort to him. All the guests were a little hungry at this moment, so there was a rare scene in the history of a reception, many people gathered in front of the dining table, selected food, and then walked to the side and kept stuffing it into their mouths quickly, instead of holding wine glasses and elegantly discussing the plot of the movie with each other as usual.
"William, what do you think will happen to the box office in the end?"
Nicole Kidman took two small plates with some pastries in them, approached Chi Mingzhe and handed him a plate.
"Thanks, Nicole, I think it's going to be good at the box office, and ......"
Ji Mingzhe leaned into Nicole's ear and whispered again.
"What I care about is the awards. ”
"You mean Oscar?"
"Yes...... Well!...... I'm really hungry. ”
Ji Mingzhe didn't talk much, just chatted casually with Nicole.
They were then joined by Kate Beckinsale, who had been invited by Chi to attend the premiere, and the two had not seen each other since that party, except for the occasional phone call. As an English woman, she is still reserved in her heart, and she does not show blatantly too utilitarian because of some purposes and ideas, which is what he admires about Kate. Besides, she is beautiful, so Ji Mingzhe decided to find a time to "communicate" with her.
At the reception, Chi Mingzhe discussed with many directors, but most of them had some compliments, in their eyes, they couldn't just treat him as a film director, after all, he was still MGM's boss, maybe everyone would cooperate because of the movie in the future, so the atmosphere was very harmonious. All the stars also talked with him very happily, they didn't know where to get the news, Leonardo took over Chi Mingzhe's next movie, and the salary reached 25 million, which is far more than his worth at this time, of course, the current Hollywood salary is not as easy as in the future, tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and it has to be added to the box office share, so Chi Mingzhe's salary to Leonardo is very hot for them, and it is said that MGM still has a lot of movies to shoot in the future, so these stars are very concerned.
Johnny Depp was very envious of Leonardo, and on July 9 last month, "Pirates of the Caribbean" was released on a large scale in North America Depp as the protagonist of this movie is only 10 million, no box office share, no matter how good the results of this movie are, it has nothing to do with him, so he is quite envious of Xiao Lizi to have such a high salary, plus he and Chi Mingzhe are also friends, so he pulled Chi Mingzhe aside during the drinking party and expressed his desire to cooperate with him, so the two negotiated the cooperation plan for the three films, " Charlie and the Chocolate Factory", "Finding Neverland", "Secret Window", of course, the salary must be higher than that of him taking over the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean", which can be regarded as Chi Mingzhe's righteousness and squandering money for his friends.
After the reception, Chi Mingzhe said goodbye to Nicole Kidman and promised to have dinner with her in two days, at this time he hurried to the parking lot, and sure enough, next to his car, he saw Kate Beckinsale waiting quietly. Driving back home, Ji Mingzhe took Kate into the bathroom with him.
At this moment, in a private hospital in South Korea, Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee, Lee Hyo-ri, and Son Ye-jin are anxiously waiting at the door of an operating room, constantly pacing back and forth, and not far from the corridor of the operating room, a group of black-clad bodyguards are guarding there.
"Do you want to call him and tell him. ”
Lee Hyo-ri's voice was a little tired. She also hurried back after participating in an out-of-town commercial performance.
"Let's wait until the results come in!"
Jun Ji-hyun said calmly, Kim Tae-hee and Son Ye-jin did not object, they stared nervously at the red light on the door of the operating room. (To be continued.) )
