They were all so into the drama!

As one of the former Hollywood giants, the new MGM has achieved remarkable results in the 007 movie, and it seems to be returning to the ranks of Hollywood giants in a high-profile manner.

Naturally, the new MGM's every move has also begun to gain corresponding attention.

The start of filming of "Now You See Me" has attracted the attention of many people, and even the media paparazzi in Hollywood have reported on it.

In Hollywood, choosing a Chinese to star in such a big-budget movie is a very surprising thing.

And this Chinese is not Cheng Long or Li Lianjie, who made a name for himself in Hollywood in his early years, but a young man like Huo Mingjie!

Although Huo Mingjie has a little fame through the two big-budget movies "Inception" and "007: Skyfall", he has become a little familiar in Europe and the United States.

But with his current fame and number of fans in Europe and the United States, it is obviously not enough to be the protagonist of a big-budget movie worth hundreds of millions of US dollars!

Such an extraordinary move by New MGM was naturally interpreted by Hollywood as an operation to please the mainland film market.

Since 2008, the mainland film market has grown rapidly. Last year, the total box office of domestic films exceeded 10 billion yuan, and it is still growing at a rate of more than 35% per year.

Such a huge market is impossible for Hollywood, which faces the global market, to ignore.

So since 2008, we have been able to see some magical operations by Hollywood that seem to be "showing goodwill" to the mainland film market, but are actually holding a high-handed attitude.

For example, emphasizing that they are filming in the mainland, finding mainland actors to shoot a few seconds of shots to edit the mainland special version...

Before New MGM, Lionsgate also radically used all Chinese actors in 2008 to shoot a movie "The Forbidden Kingdom".

It's just that this movie is covered with the skin of Eastern mythology, but it is actually a story from a Western perspective, which is completely unpopular.

The final box office results were just so-so, which almost made Lionsgate, which was already in decline, almost unable to catch its breath. From then on, it never dared to play such a radical "flattering" operation again...

Now New MGM has also made a similar operation. Hollywood is generally not optimistic about it, thinking that it is just another "Forbidden Kingdom"!

Compared with the pessimism of Hollywood, the domestic reaction is more positive.

After all, Huo Mingjie has too many fans in China, and his popularity is also full, and his appeal is extremely terrifying.

That TV series that was popular in the mainland was the game promotion TV series "Swordsman Love: Hidden Sword Villa" that Huo Mingjie participated in filming before.

Huo Mingjie just played a cameo role in the game, which led to a sharp increase in the number of players in the sect where the character in the game belonged, and even the facial model of the character in the game was directly replaced with his face.

From the small to the big, we can see Huo Mingjie's terrifying appeal!

The current mainland public has not yet been fascinated by the "Hollywood" sign. Any movie produced by Hollywood can always get a more tolerant evaluation.

And thanks to the fact that the movies starring Huo Mingjie have always been high-quality, the public is still looking forward to it.

For Huo Mingjie's starring role in "Now You See Me", a commercial blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of US dollars, the public opinion in China is "overjoyed".

While fans in China and even in East Asia are excited and ecstatic about the success of their idol Huo Mingjie, some people have raised questions.

"It's a bit strange, why is Huo Mingjie so popular in Hollywood? The resources that others want but can't get are delivered to Huo Mingjie one after another..."

In total, Huo Mingjie has received a lot of foreign resources.

"Inception", "007: Skyfall".

There is also a movie "Time Traveler" with a small investment, but he plays the leading role.

For these resources, it is actually normal.

For the big investment, Huo Mingjie only plays a minor supporting role in the movie. The only movie "Time Traveler" in which he plays the leading role has a small investment.

But this time, "Now You See Me" is a blockbuster movie invested by New MGM with hundreds of millions of US dollars, and Huo Mingjie is still the well-deserved protagonist of the movie.

The resource level has been so exaggerated, it is indeed a bit exaggerated!

For such questions, Huo Mingjie's fans will answer with Huo Mingjie's "good acting skills", "too superior image", and New MGM "very optimistic about the mainland film market", "previously cooperated with Huo Mingjie very happily".

Fans and even most passers-by can accept these reasons.

Although this is indeed not the main reason, it is completely true to mention these advantages of Huo Mingjie, so it is possible that he has been favored by Hollywood.

But some people don't believe it!

The lesson of "The Forbidden Kingdom" is not far away. To be honest, many people who know a little bit about the situation do not believe that these reasons are enough for New MGM to take such a big risk and choose Huo Mingjie, a Chinese star, as the leading actor!

Then someone brought Hollywood's report on "Now You See Me" back to the mainland network.

The report said that the new MGM attached great importance to this movie. Even the producer of the film was the new president, Mr. Leon, who stayed in the crew to work.

The report also included a photo of Huo Mingjie and Leon communicating on the set.

The photo was actually normal, but Leon's flattering smile to Huo Mingjie became a little abnormal under the interpretation of some black fans...

No matter when, there is a market for ditch literature!

But even if there are distorted interpretations by people with ulterior motives, it is just a photo after all, and not many people believed it at the beginning.

Even some black fans who took the opportunity to secretly say strange things were afraid to speak because of Huo Mingjie's fans and passers-by.

But with Huo Mingjie's current fame and popularity, there must be a specific reason for being his black fan.

This kind of black fan is often very persistent and perseverant, more "loyal" than die-hard fans, and can "fight" day after day for ten years.

This time, it was hard to encounter what is suspected to be the biggest black spot since Huo Mingjie debuted. These black fans really bit on it, and some people actually began to investigate carefully.

Then, someone actually pieced together something that seemed somewhat credible based on some specious information...
