Three days later, the crew of "Soul Catcher" finally resumed filming. Maybe it's because of my illness that everyone has delayed the progress of filming. During the filming, Nicolas Cage's performance was really eye-catching. Even the likes of Morgan Freeman have praised Nicolas Cage for his earnestness. Even after the filming task of the day was completed, Nicolas Cage actually persuaded all the staff of the "Soul Catcher" crew to take the initiative to ask for overtime to catch up with the show. You must know that when filming movies in the United States, actors are protected by a strict system. If the director wants the actor to work overtime to catch up with the play, he must not only get the consent of the actor, but also pay the actor's overtime pay, even so, most actors don't like to work overtime to catch the play. So when Nicolas Cage persuaded all the crew of "Soul Catcher" to work overtime to catch the show. Chen Jie was really taken aback!
What Chen Jie didn't know was that it was because he was usually very good to everyone, especially some of the lowest level of the crew. No director has ever given them such respect. Even the small workers are like this, not to mention some of the main actors. Everyone saw that Chen Jie would frown and ponder from time to time when they saw today. This made everyone think that Chen Jie was worried because the filming progress of "Soul Catcher" was blocked, so when Nicolas Cage proposed to work overtime at night to catch up with the scene, it was directly recognized by everyone. In other places, they couldn't help Chen Jie. I hope to help Chen Jie in this regard.
Speaking of which, "Soul Catcher" is definitely the most tangled movie Chen Jie has made among all the movies Chen Jie has made, which is not to say how difficult this movie is. On the contrary, everything went smoothly. But the problem is that Chen Jie's main purpose in making this movie is to find an excuse not to see 20th Century Fox and Murdoch. To put it bluntly, it is dragging time, but the problem is that the work efficiency of the crew is too high. And looking at the current situation, the work enthusiasm of the crew is also very good. As a director, this really makes Chen Jie very happy. But it deviated from Chen Jie's original intention. And Chen Jie will not affect the enthusiasm of the crew of "Soul Catcher" because of these things, so this makes Chen Jie really entangled.
In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed, and the time has come to the end of '84. Although Chen Jie tried his best to slow down the filming progress of "Soul Catcher". But in order to let all the members of the crew of "Soul Catcher" have a happy Christmas, the movie was officially completed three days before Christmas. And Chen Jie's completion at this time is just in time for the upcoming Golden Globe Awards. You must know that "The Shawshank Redemption" is a hit film this year. The Golden Globes alone were nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Score, Best Editing, and even Tom Hanks and Morgan Freeman were both nominated for Best Actor. Although Chen Jie does not have much hope for the Golden Globe Awards. The status of Chinese in the United States in this era is not high, although Chen Jie's influence is here, but the Golden Globe Award is not an Oscar after all, and Chen Jie's chance of winning the Golden Globe Award is not that there is no at all, but it is also small and pitiful! But I have to say that this is indeed a very good excuse!
The news of the completion of "Soul Catcher" did not spread out. But people with a heart still knew the news, and Murdoch was one of them. The day after the completion of "Soul Catcher", Murdoch sent Chen Jie an invitation again. But it's a pity that Murdoch's invitation didn't even go to Chen Jie.,It was stopped here in Situ Haojie。 The excuse is also very simple, saying that Chen Jie is busy with the post-production work of "Soul Catcher", and at the same time, he is also preparing to participate in the upcoming Golden Globe Awards. I don't have time for anything else.
Murdoch's explanation of Situ Haojie really feels a little helpless。 However, because Chen Jie has been shirking the relationship, Murdoch also had some ideas. Originally, according to Murdoch's intuition, Longteng's acquisition of 20th Century Fox should not be a joke. He specially sent someone to investigate Chen Jie. Even after studying Chen Jie's family history, Murdoch found a very interesting thing, although Chen Jie usually seems to be very easy-going. But in Murdoch's view, Chen Jie is actually very proud. Speaking of which, Chen Jie was able to earn nearly a billion US dollars in less than three years. This ability is sure to amaze everyone. Murdoch was no exception, but one thing surprised Murdoch even more, he found that although Chen Jie's brother-in-law had some background, Chen Jie had never used this aspect of power from beginning to end. This surprised Murdoch. After all, no one in this era is completely clean. In the early days of my business, I basically did some messy things. But Chen Jie was an accident. Of course, although Murdoch was surprised by this, there was another thing that surprised Murdoch even more, although Chen Jie did not like to be interviewed by reporters, there was one thing that no one had discovered. For such a long time, as long as Chen Jie was interviewed by reporters. Never told a lie in front of a journalist. Although some of the words did seem as if Chen Jie was talking big words, the facts proved that all the big words at that time came true. That's what surprised Murdoch. How proud it takes to be like that. Murdoch asked himself if he couldn't do that.
It is precisely because of this that Murdoch wants to meet Chen Jie. He wanted to ask Chen Jie directly if he really wanted to buy 20th Century Fox. He believed that with Chen Jie's pride, he might not tell him the result, but he would definitely not tell a lie to deceive him. And his eyes are not white. But now Chen Jie's avoidance has given Murdoch another idea. Longteng's acquisition of 20th Century Fox was originally a play. It is also Chen Jie's proud character who disdains to tell lies in front of Murdoch. That's why I have always avoided him.
Thinking about this, the more Murdoch thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was very high. If that's the case, Murdoch wouldn't have to be in a hurry. 20th Century Fox is just trying to raise the price of the acquisition, and Murdoch just needs to be patient and start a tug-of-war with 20th Century Fox little by little. In fact, what Murdoch doesn't know is that this is exactly what Chen Jie wants.
