Chapter 493: Settle for the next best
Because the official platform is openly and secretly, the cusp of domestic public opinion is now gradually aimed at Huo Mingjie.
Integrity and morality, public opinion hype, and popularity...... All kinds of dirty water began to pour on Huo Mingjie.
However, at this time, Huo Mingjie can be regarded as a sure winner, and he still has no time to pay attention to these for the time being.
The two uncles and nephews, who had made a lot of disturbances in Paris, did not even return to China at the first time, but set off directly from the Gallic chicken side to "Little Britain and almost no Northern Ireland and not much United Kingdom".
As soon as he got off the plane at Wudu Airport, Huo Mingjie, who was wearing a long gray slim windbreaker, was directly blocked at the airport gate by a group of people, accompanied by Huo Chengyin and his accompanying assistants.
I thought it was a foreign country and didn't need to care too much, so Huo Mingjie didn't dress up.
But he didn't expect that at the airport, he actually met a lot of Chinese who asked Huo Mingjie for autographs, and it seemed that they were basically children who came here to study.
Moreover, Huo Mingjie's appearance is too eye-catching, and even some Yanmar who doesn't know him wants to come over to join in the fun, so it is really not suitable to stay for a long time!
After satisfying the request for these people to take a group photo and sign autographs, seeing that several Yanmars were about to come together to ask for contact information, Huo Mingjie directly persuaded them not to affect the order of the airport, and then they were able to get out and leave.
At the gate of the airport, the few employees who came to pick up the uncle and nephew didn't make much effort, as long as they followed the line of sight of the crowd, they suddenly noticed Huo Mingjie who stood out in the crowd.
These pick-up employees are typical old white looks, and they don't even know much Chinese, so they can only quickly raise the pick-up card in their hands to remind Huo Mingjie and his party.
The old white man named "Leon" is the vice president of "Sherver Pictures" on the other side of the ocean.
As soon as he saw Huo Mingjie's arrival, he hurriedly stepped forward with some courtesy, shook hands with Huo Mingjie in Chinese, which was not fluent, and then led his uncle and nephew directly into the car.
Huo Mingjie sat in the car, and immediately asked Leon directly:
"How's it going?"
The reason why Leon left the company and brought the employees here in person is obviously a job!
Hearing Huo Mingjie's question, Leon, who was sitting in front, replied while motioning for the driver to drive:
"Boss, Mr. Nolan is very satisfied with the conditions we offered, but he has a good relationship with Warner and is not short of investment, so he is still very hesitant!"
"After all, compared to Warner, our company's strength in distribution is too weak......"
Leon came here in person because Huo Mingjie was eyeing the "Inception" script in someone's hand.
I heard that it was a script that had been polished for ten years, and as soon as I was preparing for filming this year, I was targeted by Huo Mingjie.
It's a pity that it's not just Huo Mingjie who is eyeing this script, but also Warner, the giant on the Hollywood side!
Nolan is now considered to be in the forefront, and he has a good relationship with Warner, but there is no shortage of investment.
Huo Mingjie's confident "money ability" did not play a big role this time......
Sherver Films, which Huo Mingjie invested, is still very good in film production, otherwise it would not have been favored by Huo Chengyin and then bought.
But after all, this was only a film and television production company before, and it can't be said that it is too bad in terms of film distribution, it can only be said that it has no strength!
Although quality is the key to the success of a film, distribution is obviously also very important.
With Sherver Films, the issue of film distribution was a problem. And when you choose Warner, you don't need to worry about the quality of the film.
So even if Huo Mingjie is willing to spend money, the conditions offered are much more generous than those on Warner's side, but people are just not very happy.
Huo Chengyin, who was on the side, also knew the situation he was facing from Leon through the translators around him.
He couldn't help frowning and muttered:
"Warner's side values this person very much, and he is willing to take out a huge investment of more than 100 million?"
The investment of 100 million in this, the back unit is a US knife! And it is only a preliminary estimate, and there is a chance that the input cost will be increased in the future.
Even in Hollywood, where blockbusters are rampant, this amount of investment requires more courage.
Tsk, my second uncle's vision really didn't say.
I don't know where I got the news, but I focused on the script this time, which can even attract Hollywood giants to come and compete......
When Huo Mingjie heard this, his brows furrowed.
Racial discrimination within Hollywood is actually quite serious.
Although the current political and public opinion environment is not as severe as it was after the confrontation began more than a decade later. But without a famous Chinese face, there are very few opportunities to play a positive role in Hollywood!
If there is no way to rely on investment to get the dominance of this movie, the possibility of Huo Mingjie wanting to star in this movie is really very small, almost none......
Leon, who was sitting in front, turned around and said:
"Boss, out of the need for your career development, my suggestion is that you can choose to play an important supporting role in this movie, in fact, this is enough!"
Huo Mingjie's current demand is that there is a bottleneck in domestic development, so he wants to take the opportunity to go abroad to seek a little breakthrough.
And in a Hollywood blockbuster with such a huge investment, as long as he plays an impressive supporting role, it is enough for Huo Mingjie!
You must know that in recent years, many big names in China have come over, and they are just playing a supporting role in various blockbusters. There is even a soy sauce shot for you to cut for two or three seconds for the mainland box office.
There are also people who are Chang Wei, but they played a supporting role in "The Matrix", and how many years have they been eating......
Huo Mingjie is just about to enter the international market, and he can get to this level of start, which is already a very successful!
Leon's suggestion is obviously very reasonable for Huo Mingjie's current situation.
Huo Mingjie groaned slightly, and weighed it in his heart.
Huo Chengyin, who was on the side, also nodded when he heard this:
"Second uncle, I think this is okay."
Seeing this, Leon continued to speak:
"And if you're optimistic about this movie, I can help you get the lion's share of the investment from Warners!"
No way, Hollywood is not easy to mix.
If it weren't for the rapid development of the mainland market in recent years, people would really be reluctant to accept Chinese faces on the big screen.
Huo Mingjie's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he nodded and said:
"Then let's do it first!"
In this environment, it is the best choice to settle for the next best thing......
