Chapter 549 Revised Script
Chapter 549 Revised Script
Although the memory of the last week's movie has been blurred, Huo Mingjie still has a deep impression on himself about 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. He doesn't have much of a role. He is the ultimate target of the dream stealing gang.
When the protagonists were stealing business secrets, they were accidentally caught by Saito, a top energy tycoon in Sakura Country.
However, "Saito" took a fancy to their abilities and refused to hold them accountable, and attached various conditions to invite them to take action.
The target of the protagonist group is the character played by Huo Mingjie, an heir to an energy empire.
At the request of "Saito", they need to implant the idea of giving up inheriting the consortium into the target person through dreams.
However, it was revealed later in the film that the target person actually did not have a good relationship with his father.
In fact, in his heart, he is not willing to inherit his father's energy empire at all, but wants to find a way out with his own abilities!
Well, this kind of pretentious problem is actually shared by many rich second generations...
Watching his second uncle flipping through the script, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but interject:
"Honestly, I think Saito's character is better, he has more scenes, he keeps his promises and he's not an annoying villain!"
Anyway, there is no original script in the script, it was written by director Nolan himself, so there is nothing wrong with changing the Sakura people to Chinese people.
Fortunately, Huo Mingjie also has the status of an investor, which can be regarded as capital. The director and Warner also felt that it could not go too far, so they finally added some scenes to him.
And Huo Mingjie is too young, so the crew doesn't believe that he can perform with the momentum of a top tycoon.
The only exception is Cheng Long!
Although the energy companies in China are unlikely to be private, the old people in the West have no common sense anyway. Even Sakura Country and Bangzi Country think they belong to China, so it is basically impossible to notice something is wrong...
This is the case in Hollywood now. Chinese faces can only play the role of the protagonist's lackey, ugly villain, or just a supporting role with a few lines.
When Huo Mingjie heard this, he shrugged and said:
"I can't help it, people don't believe me!"
Now and even in the future, Hollywood movies will basically feature white men and Asian women.
After reviewing most of Huo Mingjie's previous works, the director hesitated for a long time, but in the end he still didn't give in to the five buckets of rice.
That role is good. Huo Mingjie has never played a corresponding role before, but he is actually very willing to try it.
To be honest, Huo Mingjie was actually quite frustrated when he got this role. From the first male lead he envisioned, he ended up playing the third or fourth male lead.
The only exception is Cheng Long. In "The Agent Next Door" and "Tuxedo", there are Asian men with blond hair and blue eyes. From this alone, we can see that this man is still very powerful...
But it's a pity that although the role of "Saito" is not important in the movie, he can actually be regarded as the second male lead.
There is no way, except for one of Huo Mingjie's previously released works, "Double Food Story", 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, no matter how high his national popularity is, others will not take him seriously!
Huo Mingjie just looked through the script and found that the character's setting and personality had been enriched for the role he played this time.
The son-in-law who was originally a bit naive and idealistic, obsessed with finding his own path, but actually just wanted to prove himself to his father, was transformed into a enterprising and promising young talent.
Huo Mingjie couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the character setting written in the script, which was labeled "Rising Star in the New Energy Industry". The director can be regarded as keeping pace with the times, and he also knows that New Energy has become more and more popular in the past two years.
But not to mention, this setting is unexpectedly suitable!
As the heir to an old monopoly energy empire, he has set his sights on the new energy industry. No wonder he has conflicts with his father...
Regarding the revised script, Huo Mingjie nodded with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Huo Chengyin couldn't help but asked:
"How's the revision going?"
Huo Mingjie put together the script and asked a little strangely:
"You haven't read the script?"
Huo Chengyin smiled sheepishly and said:
"The production staff did not allow the content of the script to be leaked, and the script was all in English. I couldn't understand it. I just heard that it had been revised..."
Speaking of which, my second uncle is also strange. He didn’t speak English well when he was in school. Why is it that now he can speak very fluently all of a sudden?
Could it be that the education level in his hometown was too poor, which delayed his second uncle's talent?
Huo Mingjie didn't know that his nephew's thoughts had gone elsewhere, so he nodded and said with a smile:
"The revised script has too many scenes, and the characters are also very good. The director is still giving me face!"
When Huo Chengyin heard this, he couldn't help curling his lips and said:
"Of course it's a show of respect. Our movie cost 60 million US dollars!"
Sixty million U.S. dollars only gave Huo Mingjie a role that could be regarded as the second or third male lead. This old white man is really dark!
But this is the style of director Nolan. The shooting cost of each movie is high, but the box office results have always been very good.
This time, the investment for "Inception" was as high as US$160 million when the project was finally approved.
And making a movie is not really about printing money. You don’t know whether you can make money until it is finally released.
Previously, Lionsgate vowed to make a comeback with "The King of Kung Fu", but in the end, it lost its pants and almost couldn't catch its breath...
So Huo Mingjie took the initiative to come to the door and wanted to invest. Even Warner didn't have the guts to reject it outright. Instead, he chose to agree and share the risk together.
After the final agreement, Huo Mingjie received an investment share of 60 million. After the movie is released, he can get 35% dividends. In addition, he will also need to help distribute the movie in the mainland.
So strictly speaking, Huo Mingjie's current role is actually a bonus for investing in the movie...
When Huo Mingjie heard the cheap nephew's complaints, he couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"This is a good thing. I guess we will have to thank them for giving up so much share in the end!"
What was the final box office revenue of "Inception"?
I can’t remember, but I can make a lot of money anyway!
Seeing how convinced his second uncle looked, Huo Chengyin also started laughing.
My second uncle said he could make money, so he couldn’t be wrong!
