They were all so into the drama!

Chapter 633 Cheng Long plays dad again...

Sitting on the sofa in Huo Mingjie's room, Miriam looked out the window where it was raining. She couldn't help but shake her head, sighed, and complained:

"Looks like we can't go out today again!"

As for "Time Traveler", the crew didn't have any major problems.

The factor that most affects the filming progress of the crew is the weather here, which rains frequently, which sometimes limits the ability to go out for filming.

Miriam, who came with him, did not need to participate in the filming. It was originally agreed that when Huo Mingjie was free, they would go out together.

But it was delayed again and again...

"Yeah, we can't shoot the beach scenes again today. It's too bad. If it hadn't been for the rain, we would have finished shooting and left!"

Miriam, who complained at this time, was not interested and was not happy to continue talking.

Because the person who answered the call at this time was not Huo Mingjie, but the director of the crew, Mr. Curtis.

It rained outside again today, so the crew was unable to complete the last shot here and had to stay in the hotel to rest.

Director Curtis, who originally came to talk to Huo Mingjie about the script, interrupted her and Huo Mingjie's alone time together. She was so happy that she was so happy...

Not noticing Miriam's displeasure, Mr. Curtis complained about the weather a few more times, then turned to look at Huo Mingjie, who was tinkering with parts next to him, and said expectantly:

"Ok?"

After hearing this, Huo Mingjie put down the parts in his hands and started operating the remote control, and the drone in front of him flew steadily.

The film director, Mr. Curtis, looked at the shooting drone hanging overhead and moved closer to Huo Mingjie.

Looking at the clear and stable picture transmitted by the drone on the screen in front of me, I couldn't hide my excitement and said:

"Oh, this thing is really good!"

When Huo Mingjie saw this, he chuckled and said:

"This is a drone specially developed for film shooting. The captured images can be directly used for film editing. I think directors might like it!"

"Of course, how much does this thing cost?"

"Two hundred thousand for one, it's very cheap!"

"If it can be reused and it can fly high enough and stably, it would be a great deal."

Nowadays, filming is basically done by renting a helicopter. The price is relatively high, and you have to bear the corresponding fuel and personnel costs. After renting it twice, you can buy the drone that Huo Mingjie is now selling.

"Don't worry, the warranty is one year, and the flight height and stability are no problem!" At this time, Huo Mingjie smiled and enthusiastically promoted the drone he originally invested in.

Daqiang had received Huo Mingjie's investment, and they were a serious civilian enterprise, so it was natural for them to start shooting drones.

I have been working on it for several years, and now I finally have results!

Under the persuasion of Huo Mingjie's marketing skills, Mr. Curtis couldn't hide his excitement, and finally chose to buy one, and agreed to Huo Mingjie's help in selling it to his director friends!

This kind of professional shooting drone is still very expensive and bulky.

The cost price is 200,000 yuan per unit, and it is still 200,000 yuan when sold to the British side, but the unit price is pounds sterling, a price difference of ten times.

If you can sell more, it can be considered a good business, and you can still make money from gringos...

Director Curtis, who bought the drone from Huo Mingjie, was playing around excitedly with the remote control, and then suddenly reacted and said:

"But Mr. Huo, are there any scenes in our movie that require high-altitude shooting?"

Although the movie has a fantasy-themed gimmick, in fact, except for a setting that can travel through time and space, there is no other fantasy setting at all.

The theme of the movie is more focused on love and family affection.

It seems that such a tender and literary movie doesn’t need a drone to shoot it!

When Huo Mingjie heard this, he blinked and said:

"Perhaps you can add a high-altitude shot at the right place...and you will definitely need it in the future!"

When Mr. Curtis heard this, he suddenly burst into laughter, shook his head helplessly, then took his drone, turned around and left Huo Mingjie's room.

He couldn't wait to play with this new toy...

Miriam, who witnessed Huo Mingjie fooling the old man with her own eyes, was lying on the sofa and couldn't help but curled her lips and complained:

"Boss, you can earn at least one million as a salesman."

It was obviously agreed before that this drone was for recording when two people went out to play, but now it was sold to someone else.

Sure enough, every boss is like this and will not miss any opportunity to make money...

Huo Mingjie turned to look at Miriam, who was obviously unhappy, but joked:

"No, if I were a salesman, I would definitely earn more than a million!"

Miriam heard this and looked at him speechlessly.

But he had to admit that Huo Mingjie was right!

After all, with this face, girls who are willing to buy it even have to queue up. As a salesperson, he can even sit back and wait for people to come to deliver money...

In fact, Huo Mingjie, who roughly guessed why the stupid girl was unhappy, blinked at Miriam again and said with a smile:

"Actually, I still have one! That one is a test machine. It's compact and convenient, and more suitable for carrying around. That's the drone I plan to take out to record us!"

Hearing this, Miriam, who was a little unhappy at first, frowned and became happy again.

But she still turned her head away pretending not to care and said:

"It doesn't matter, I don't care anyway..."

"But the weather here is really bad. It's cold and cold in winter, and it rains frequently in autumn."

Complaining about the weather in Little Britain has now become a regular daily complaint for Miriam.

Whenever it rains and she can't go out, she will go to Huo Mingjie's room to complain, repeating these few words over and over again, and never tires of it!

Speaking of which, it feels like she just used this excuse to come to see Huo Mingjie...

Huo Mingjie also complained a few words in cooperation, chatted and laughed with her for a while, and Miriam went back with satisfaction.

It wasn't until he confirmed that she had left the room that Huo Mingjie took out his cell phone and called his assistant.

"Tell Daqiang and send me a test machine as soon as possible. I need it urgently..."

After hanging up the phone, Huo Mingjie touched his nose and lamented that this man's mouth sometimes tells lies...

——

Fortunately, only a small part of this drama requires outdoor shooting, and we can always find suitable weather for shooting.

After finishing the outdoor shooting and returning to the foggy city, the remaining scenes in the movie can basically be shot indoors.

Thanks to the passive influence of Huo Mingjie's golden finger, even though the film's shooting team was a ragtag team jointly formed by both parties.

Even Miriam, the heroine of the movie, had studied liberal arts in college, which was not suitable for acting at all, and she had never even been exposed to film shooting before.

However, during the filming of the movie, the progress was quite smooth. The Caotai team worked well together and the filming progress was not delayed for long.

And when the filming of the movie was about halfway through, Cheng Long, who had previously received an invitation from Huo Mingjie, finally came to the crew!

Cheng Long's guest role in the movie this time is the father of the hero played by Huo Mingjie.

This is a middle-aged man with a gentle personality, erudition and erudition, who uses his family's superpower to read.

His father has always guided the protagonist on how to use this super power, teaching him to learn various skills to enrich himself and enjoy life.

In the end, the protagonist's father contracted cancer because he had a smoking habit before the protagonist was born, and he chose to die calmly.

Because there is a setting in this movie, that is, if you travel back to before the child is born, the child born will likely change.

This setting in the movie feels like one of those nurturing strategy games where children with good attributes can be randomly selected after loading a file...

Therefore, the protagonist's father knew that smoking would cause him to suffer from lung cancer, but he still did not travel to the past to change and accepted death calmly.

For people in their family, death is actually nothing. They can go back to see their loved ones at any time if they want.

But later the protagonist also used his own children.

Moreover, after traveling through time and space, the original daughter became a son, and the protagonist spent a lot of effort to return to his original state.

So the protagonist finally chose to bid farewell to his father forever and no longer travel through time and space to see his father...

Speaking of which, the tenderness of a father who is willing to sacrifice for his son, while the son chooses to look forward for the sake of his children, is quite touching.

But actually, if you think about it carefully, there are still flaws in it!

And you can’t change your smoking habit, so why not choose to quit smoking early?

It’s not like you will get cancer if you smoke, and the promotional videos on smoking cessation shouldn’t be so scary...

Forget it, it is a fantasy movie after all, and even the super power of traveling through time and space is revealed, so don’t worry about this logical problem!

Huo Mingjie and Cheng Long have worked together several times. Counting this time, it is the second time they have played father and son.

Among all the connections Huo Mingjie knows, only Cheng Long is well-known in Europe and the United States. Huo Mingjie can invite guest appearances based on his connections, which is the most cost-effective...

Just like the previous "Inception", Huo Mingjie has such an Asian face, so he can't use a white man to play his father!

Before confirming the filming of "Space Traveler", Huo Mingjie was originally planned to be paired with a famous Hollywood female star.

But inviting people to come over and perform at a lower level is a big price.

The investment in this movie is not big, so there is no need to throw all your money on it.

Therefore, under Leon's suggestion, I still thought it would be most appropriate to invite someone to make a guest appearance.

This time there is not only Cheng Long who plays the protagonist’s father, but also a female character who is the hero’s first love. Mr. Curtis also invited someone he knows to guest star.

Because he was connected with the director, Huo Mingjie didn't ask too much...

As soon as he arrived at the set and saw Huo Mingjie coming out to greet him, Cheng Long smiled and greeted him.

Cheng Long was very optimistic about Huo Mingjie before, and even after seeing Huo Mingjie's romantic nature, he even felt that "this person is like me".

You see, this is still happening abroad. I was filming on the set, and there was a pretty girl following me around. She seemed to have almost won...

Cheng Long has always taken good care of Huo Mingjie, and even introduced him to many Hollywood contacts before.

However, Cheng Long did not expect that Huo Mingjie's development would be so rapid!

"Inception" has been a global box office hit. With just a dozen minutes of footage, he has become the most impressive character to the audience, and his popularity is even greater than those of the movie's protagonists.

According to Cheng Long, Huo Mingjie has a deep connection with the new MGM in addition to the movie he is currently filming, and has participated in the filming of the new 007 movie...

Over the years, Hollywood is no longer the place where the Chinese star can make a name for himself just by relying on his powerful Chinese Kung Fu.

How many people have come to Hollywood to make a living, but they only play supporting roles in movies, and none of them have made such a big name like Huo Mingjie.

Even Cheng Long was not as good as him back then. He suffered a lot to become as famous as Huo Mingjie, and it was not as easy as Huo Mingjie...

If Cheng Long had only the "condescending" optimism and support for Huo Mingjie as a senior,

Now, it has become a real respect for Huo Mingjie!

With Huo Mingjie's rising momentum, his future is really limitless.

So after knowing that Huo Mingjie invited him to play a cameo role, Cheng Long readily agreed.

After reading the script, Cheng Long also thought that this role was quite good.

He knew that he was old and couldn't keep "fighting", so he had begun to seek transformation in recent years.

This time, the father role in "Time Traveler" is quite different from his usual movie image for him, and maybe it will really work...

Huo Mingjie stepped forward politely and thanked Cheng Long a few times.

Although Cheng Long's help to him was mixed with resources and interest exchanges with Emperor Entertainment Group before, and now he is looking at the connection between Huo Mingjie and New MGM, it has never been simple.

But the communication between adults cannot be as pure as that of young people.

And he has done this, which is quite good!

He agreed to the guest role in "Inception" just for Huo Mingjie's sake.

And this time Huo Mingjie invited him to guest-star in the low-budget movie "Time Traveler", clearly wanting to take advantage of his fame.

But he agreed without hesitation!

No matter what, Huo Mingjie has to remember it.

Tsk, the current Dragon Prince is hopeless.

If it had been a few years earlier, Huo Mingjie might have helped him out for his father's sake...
