Chapter 546: Revised Script
Although the memory of the last week's show has been blurred, Huo Mingjie still has a deep impression of a movie of the level of "Inception".
The heir to the energy tycoon he plays is a character who only appears in the middle and late stages of the movie, and he doesn't have many scenes, and he is the ultimate target of the Dream Thief Gang.
The protagonists were previously caught by a top energy tycoon "Saito" in the Sakura Country when they were stealing trade secrets.
However, "Saito" took a fancy to their ability, so as not to hold them accountable, and attached various conditions to invite them to take action.
The goal of the protagonist group is the character played by Huo Mingjie, an heir to the energy empire.
At Saito's request, they need to implant a dream into the target person with the idea of giving up the inheritance of the foundation.
However, it was explained later in the movie that the target actually did not have a good relationship with his father.
In his heart, he actually didn't want to inherit his father's energy empire at all, but wanted to find a way out with his own ability!
Well, this kind of hypocrisy is actually something that many rich second generations have......
Watching his second uncle flip through the script, Huo Chengyin on the side couldn't help but interject:
"To be honest, I think Saito's character is better, there are more scenes, and keeping his promise is not a disgusting villain!"
Anyway, there is no original script in the script, it was written by director Nolan himself, and it is nothing to modify the Sakura people to the Chinese.
Fortunately, Huo Mingjie still has the identity of an investor, which is considered capital, and the director and Warner also felt that it should not be too much, so they finally added some scenes to him.
And Huo Mingjie is too young, so the crew doesn't believe that he can perform the momentum of a top tycoon.
The only exception is Cheng Long!
Although it is unlikely that the energy companies on the Huaxia side are private, anyway, the old white and black on the Western side have no common sense, and even the Sakura Country and the Stick Country think that they are from Huaxia, so it is basically impossible to detect that something is wrong......
Hollywood is like this now, Chinese faces can only play the role of the protagonist's little henchman and ugly villain, or just a few lines.
When Huo Mingjie heard this, he shrugged his shoulders and said:
"No way, people don't believe me!"
Now and even in the future, Hollywood movies are basically white men and Asian women.
And after the director looked at most of Huo Mingjie's previous works, he hesitated for a long time, and in the end he still didn't bend his waist for five buckets of rice.
That role is good, Huo Mingjie has never played the corresponding role before, but he is actually very willing to try.
To be honest, Huo Mingjie was actually quite aggrieved when he got this role, from the male number one he conceived at the beginning, and finally became this role that I don't know if it was the third male or the fourth male.
The only exception is Cheng Long, "Agent Next Door" and "Tuxedo" are all Asian men with blonde hair and blue eyes......
But it's a pity that although the role of "Saito" is not important in the movie, it can actually be regarded as the second male lead.
There's no way, except for one "Double Food" in Huo Mingjie's previously announced works, the rest are basically idol dramas, which is really hard to trust......
But there is no way, no matter how popular Huo Mingjie is in the mainland and how high the national degree is, no one values it!
Huo Mingjie just flipped through the script and found that the character he played this time had been enriched with the setting and personality of the character.
Originally, his personality was a bit naïve and ideal, and he was obsessed with walking out of his own way, but in fact, he just wanted to prove his son-in-law to his father, but he was modified into an enterprising, young and promising young talent.
Huo Mingjie looked at the character settings written in the script, marked as "a new star in the new energy industry", and couldn't help laughing.
The director can be regarded as keeping pace with the times, and he also knows the new energy that has become more and more prosperous in the past two years.
But not to mention, this setting is unexpectedly suitable!
As the heir of the old monopoly energy empire, but with his eyes on the new energy industry, it is no wonder that he has a conflict with his father......
Regarding the revised script, Huo Mingjie nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Huo Chengyin, who was on the side, couldn't help but ask:
"How's it going?"
Huo Mingjie closed the script and asked a little strangely:
"You haven't read the script?"
Huo Chengyin smiled a little embarrassedly and said:
"The crew didn't let the content of the script be leaked, and the script was all in English, I couldn't understand it, I just heard that it was revised......"
It's also strange to say that my second uncle didn't speak English well when he was in school, why is it that he is suddenly speaking very slippery now?
Could it be that the education level of his hometown is too poor, delaying the talent of his second uncle?
Huo Mingjie didn't know that his nephew's thoughts had turned elsewhere, so he nodded and smiled:
"After the revised script, there are too many scenes, and the character image is also very good, the director can still give face!"
When Huo Chengyin heard this, he couldn't help but pout, and said:
"Of course it's face, our movie has smashed into 60 million US dollars!"
60 million US dollars, only reluctantly made Huo Mingjie a role that can be regarded as the second and third males. This old white man is really dark!
But this Nolan director is this style, and each film has a high cost to shoot, but the box office results have always been very good.
This time, "Inception" invested as much as 160 million US dollars when the project was finally established.
And making a movie is not really about printing money, and I don't know if I can make money until the final release.
Before, Lionsgate swore to rely on "The King of Kung Fu" to turn over, but instead lost his pants and almost didn't slow down in one breath......
Therefore, Huo Mingjie took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to invest, but even Warner did not have the courage to refuse, but chose to agree and share the risk together.
After the final agreement, Huo Mingjie received an investment share of 60 million, and he could get 35% of the dividends after the film was released, and he also needed to help the film distribute in the mainland at that time.
So strictly speaking, Huo Mingjie's current role is actually attached to the investment movie......
Huo Mingjie heard the cheap nephew's complaint, but he couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"This is a good thing, I guess we have to thank others for giving up so much share in the end!"
How much did this "Inception" end up at the box office?
I can't remember, but I can make a lot of money anyway!
Huo Chengyin saw that his second uncle was so convinced, but he also laughed.
My second uncle said that he could make money, so he couldn't be wrong!
