They were all so into the drama!

The uncle and nephew decided to go to Hollywood for the company's last film project in 10 years.

However, they had to prepare a crew for filming there, and Green Shade Media had to take more care of it.

In fact, before that, Shelf Films could be responsible for the things on the other side of the ocean, because it was Huo Mingjie's company anyway.

However, Shelf Films has now been reorganized with MGM to become New MGM.

Even if MGM is swallowed up, there are actually disadvantages.

With the management rights of New MGM in hand, channels and connections can be borrowed.

But after all, the board of directors has too many and too complicated members, and it is impossible for Huo Mingjie to have the final say. Many things have become inconvenient...

Just for the new movie, Huo Mingjie has added more burdens to himself.

After New Year's Day, Huo Mingjie flew directly to the other side of the ocean, not only to participate in the filming of 007, but also to take people to the front in advance.

This year, Huo Mingjie will probably spend the Spring Festival on the other side of the ocean...

As the first film shot after the reorganization of the new MGM, it is also expected to reproduce the glory of MGM in the past.

The 007 series is a well-known IP for most people. Therefore, the start of filming of the latest film in this series is undoubtedly highly anticipated.

So from the beginning of the preparation work, the battle was huge!

Just the role of "Second Generation Dr. Q" given to Huo Mingjie has attracted a group of Asian stars in Hollywood to get ready and start to use means to grab the role privately.

This is just a supporting role, and the competition for other important roles is even more fierce.

That is, the sixth "James Bond" has left a deep impression on the global audience, so he has not been replaced...

And the most intense one is the competition for "Bond Girls".

What do audiences like to watch the 007 movie series the most?

Isn't it just watching James Bond pick up girls while saving the world crisis!

All the former Bond girls have become familiar to the global audiences by virtue of the popularity of the movies.

New MGM also intends to make a big fuss, and simply held an audition event, calling on beauties from all over the world to apply for the identity of Bond girl.

When Huo Mingjie arrived here, he saw a group of beautiful women in the lobby of New MGM.

Although their looks may not meet Huo Mingjie's aesthetic standards, they are all beautiful and have good figures, which gives him a feeling of being dazzled by the flowers...

Yesterday, Leon, the interim president of New MGM, who was still reprimanding Fang Zun at the high-level meeting and was resolute and swift, hurriedly brought people to greet him after learning that Huo Mingjie had arrived.

Before coming here, this guy was particularly scheming not to notify Hamid.

Well, Hamid is also the vice president of New MGM, and it is the "catfish" that Huo Mingjie specially asked the headhunting company to find to put some pressure on Leon!

Although his men were following behind him, Leon was not afraid. When he saw Huo Mingjie, he was very attentive and flattering, saying:

"My respected boss, why didn't you inform me earlier when you came here in advance?"

At this point, Leon suddenly paused, and then said with a beaming face:

"But you came at the right time. Do you need me to take you to the interview site of the Bond girl?"

"This is the last round, and they are all top beauties..."

While speaking, Leon also cast an ambiguous look at Huo Mingjie, saying "you know".

In China, it is called unspoken rules, which is a bit embarrassing.

But here, the word "unspoken" is simply removed, and some things become explicit rules directly!

As long as Huo Mingjie nods now, at least in the next few months, there may not be a repeat of changing one every day...

From this, it can be seen that the ancient weighing technique from the East has indeed put a lot of pressure on Leon, an elite old white man, during this period.

In order to get rid of his "temporary" title of temporary president as soon as possible and prevent Vice President Hamid from surpassing him, Leon had to try his best to please the big boss Huo Mingjie!

But Huo Mingjie is still quite picky.

Some so-called beauties in Europe and the United States are really not to his taste!

So Huo Mingjie shook his head and refused Leon's warm "hospitality":

"No need... Do you have time now?"

The 007 movie will not be officially filmed for some time. The reason why Huo Mingjie came early during the Spring Festival is for business!

When Leon, the old white man, saw Huo Mingjie like this, he immediately restrained his expression and said seriously:

"Okay, boss, I'll take you to the office!"

Regardless of whether he is free or not, the big boss has already spoken, so he has to be free even if he is not!

Huo Mingjie was taken by Leon into his office together.

As soon as he came in, Leon, who was very clear-headed, took the initiative to give up the boss chair behind the desk, and then sat down obediently opposite.

Huo Mingjie was not polite and sat down directly and said:

"You should have read the project plan I sent you before."

In Hollywood, we need someone to help us prepare for the film.

Leon was the executive of Shelf Films before and was familiar with many things. Huo Mingjie naturally asked him for help in advance.

Leon, who had been prepared for a long time, nodded and said:

"I've read it all... From a professional point of view, there are generally no shortcomings in this plan."

"If everything goes well, it will be of great benefit to you, boss!"

On the other side of the ocean, film and television works with idol love themes are also very popular.

With Huo Mingjie's face that can break through different aesthetic boundaries, no matter where you are, if you start to accumulate fans by following the path of an idol, you will definitely succeed every time!

"But there is a little problem!"

When it comes to serious matters, Leon, an old white man, becomes serious.

"I'm afraid it's not a wise choice to choose a popular Hollywood female star as the heroine!"

"Although you are a boss I respect and you are also a national superstar in your own country. But I have to say that you are not well-known in Hollywood, and many people are not willing to... lower your status!"

Leon, who has been studying Chinese diligently in recent years to please his boss, even said the word "lowering oneself" in Mandarin.

"Of course, if you have to invite them to star, it's not impossible. It's just that the asking prices for these top female stars will most likely be very high. The starting price should be tens of millions of dollars plus more than 30%. Box office share!”

No way, the entertainment industry likes to pay attention to celebrity status.

Huo Mingjie is just a "little fool" on the other side of the ocean. If he wants to get those top female stars to set up a stage for him, he will have to spend a lot of money!

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he thought for a moment, then nodded and said:

"So what do you suggest?"

Leon had a shrewd smile on his face and said loudly:

"Choose a cheap newcomer for the heroine, and then I can find a way to have someone come over to help with a guest role, and then I can use a little more skill when promoting it."

Since it's all considered a "friendly guest appearance", it naturally doesn't matter what the celebrity position is.

Not to mention that Huo Mingjie is now the boss behind the new MGM, even with his previous connections at Shelver Pictures, there are still people who are willing to give him face.

Speaking of this, Leon suddenly remembered and said:

"By the way, Mr. Cheng Long seems to have a very good relationship with you. Then you can try to invite him like you did in the "Inception" script!"

Cheng Long was indeed very optimistic about Huo Mingjie and was willing to support him. He had previously introduced him to many connections in Hollywood.

A few days before coming to the other side of the ocean, Huo Mingjie took the time to attend the premiere and promotional activities of "Little Soldiers".

I wonder what kind of attention the film co-produced by Cheng Long and Huo Mingjie will receive in China...

Well, no, actually it’s not just the mainland.

Because this movie did not have a simultaneous global release, there is already a quarrel on the Internet in Sakura Country, demanding that this movie be introduced as soon as possible.

Originally, Cheng Long didn't have much hope for the box office for this movie, which was made out of an idea of ​​his own. It was just an attempt at transformation.

As a result, the film's first-day box office shocked him, as it exceeded 20 million.

Then the box office in the next few days was able to maintain similar results, and it looked like it would easily exceed 100 million.

The movie's reputation isn't very good, but it's not bad either. It can be regarded as a masterpiece since Cheng Long's deliberate transformation. Coupled with the anti-war concept, the film's score on Douban can be maintained at around seven points.

A movie with an investment of more than 20 million yuan has directly made double the box office in the mainland. Then seeing the release of Sakura Country and Bangzi Country, they can earn a lot of money at the box office, in addition to the copyright fees for overseas sales.

Simply because the film cost is not much, Huo Mingjie took the initiative to convert the remuneration into a share, so he also got a share of the money earned. In the end, he could probably get a share of 10 to 20 million, which is more than earning a remuneration!

For such an unexpected result, Cheng Long was so happy that he directly sent a big red envelope of 500,000 yuan to the crew and publisher.

In front of the media, Cheng Long did not hesitate to praise Huo Mingjie.

The media even asked him if he regarded Huo Mingjie as his successor, and he readily admitted it...

Why else would so many people call him Brother Cheng Long, because he is really interesting!

When he participated in the filming of "Inception" before, Huo Mingjie was not asked to speak. The crew contacted him and he came over with dignity.

Now Huo Mingjie is seriously asking him to come over for help, and he won't refuse even if he comes!

Seeing Huo Mingjie nodded slightly to express his approval, Leon immediately continued:

"As for the script, it is not suitable to go to New Michael. Fortunately, our Shelver Pictures can also know many screenwriters in the industry!"

Shelver Pictures was once a well-known film and television production company in the industry. It had participated in the filming of many blockbusters and made many connections through it.

Finding a good script is not a big problem!

Hearing this, Huo Mingjie nodded, then pointed at the square-faced man he brought with him from the mainland this time, and said:

"This is Lu Yuanyuan. I hope you can help him with the preparations for the new movie."

This Lu Yuanyuan is the person sent by Luyin Media to prepare for the new movie in advance.

Huo Mingjie’s previous episode actually didn’t know much about film and television works other than domestic entertainment. Except for popular IPs such as “Avengers”, “Superman”, 007” and “Harry Potter”, he knew other Not much.

At most, I watched some short video clips, but I wasn’t very impressed.

Therefore, on the other side of the ocean, his "unique vision" is a bit ineffective, and it is difficult to guarantee that he can accurately pick out any popular scripts.

Even if this new movie is just for people who have money and nothing to spend it on, and plan to come to Hollywood to give it a try, they can’t just go out and lose money!

Therefore, we must be extremely cautious when selecting scripts, and even specially select people to be responsible for docking.

When Leon heard this, he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would do his best to help.

After talking about the serious business, Leon, an old white man, enthusiastically invited Huo Mingjie to go to the casting site together.

There is a strong tendency that Huo Mingjie must pick two to take away today.

Huo Mingjie declined the kindness, but suddenly thought of it and said:

"You said before that you wanted to choose a cheap and easy-to-use newcomer to be the heroine. It just so happened that there was a lot of noise in the Bond girl audition this time. By the way, help me choose one!"

Anyway, it was a smooth matter. Huo Mingjie didn't focus on the chosen one, but just picked a similar one from the unsuccessful ones.

Hearing Huo Mingjie's words, Leon rolled his eyes, then showed an ambiguous smile again and said:

"So my dear boss, what specific requirements do you have for the heroine?"

As long as Huo Mingjie opens his mouth, Leon, an old white man, will definitely try his best to find a candidate who meets the requirements!

Huo Mingjie raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this and pondered for a moment before saying:

"Good-looking ones... I prefer Italian and Eastern European looks!"

The looks of Saxons and Anglos are actually not in line with the aesthetics of most people in the mainland. On the contrary, the beauties from Italy and Ukraine have exquisite looks and are more popular.

The widow's appearance is not uniformly recognized in the mainland.

But Monica Bellucci from Italy, everyone quite recognizes her title of "ball flower".

There is also the Eastern European beauty who cosplays as an elf, but she amazed a lot of netizens.

That is to say, this time period is not suitable. One is older and the other is still young, otherwise Huo Mingjie will definitely meet them in person...

Huo Mingjie is very aware of the influence of Golden Finger, and the actress was definitely confused after filming this idol love-themed movie.

If he finds someone who doesn't look good, Huo Mingjie won't be able to wrong himself!

Hearing Huo Mingjie's words, Leon suddenly smiled even brighter, patted his chest and said:

"My respected boss, I will definitely satisfy you!"

After all, this is Hollywood, or Hollywood in its heyday, where world-class handsome guys and beauties gather, and you can find whatever you want...
