Big names rise

He Mu does not deny that he was shocked by the visual spectacle created by "Gods Down to Earth", but this movie is not perfect. To be picky, its plot still follows the Hollywood cliché. If you watch too many Hollywood movies, you can get it I found countless templates similar to "Gods Down to Earth", but this movie moved the background to an alien planet, so it looks full of novelty, but it still can't hide the weakness of the plot. He Mu is a professional filmmaker, and that A person who puts more emphasis on stories than technology. In sharp contrast to him are technical madmen like James Cameron and Tsui Hark. It can be picky, the plot tension and scientific common sense are fine, but compared with the special effects technology of this movie, it seems a bit insufficient. It can only be said that this book is good, but it is far from excellent.

He Mu still has a very high evaluation of "Gods Down to Earth", and thinks it is the best movie he has seen this year or even the past two years, but it is still far from the best movie he has seen in his life, and the technical Gao Ming couldn't make up for these gaps. After his evaluation was passed to Jeff's ears by Song Xuan, Jeff agreed deeply and was very pleased that He Mu was not fooled by Cameron's special effects that surpassed the technology of the time. He Mu's The opinion is the same as that of many well-known film critics, which is why the box office of this film is like a godsend, but there are many misses in the awards, which is far less than the sweeping trend of "Titanic" back then.

Before dinner, Jeff asked He Mu. "I'm going to a party later, do you want to go together?"

"What party?" He Mu is not a party expert, and he doesn't like to participate in such activities that have no meaning other than socializing in China.But since Jeff asked, he naturally hoped that he would participate.

"Today in Beverly Hills there is a reception organized by the Los Angeles Film Critics Organization. There will be many big-name stars, directors and producers participating. It is said that Cameron will also be there. Would you like to criticize his weak movie script face to face?" Jeff teased.

"You think I'm a big boy, I'm afraid I'll just sing praises after meeting Cameron." He Mu chuckled.

Jeff paused for a while, then turned to Song Xuan and asked. "Honey, what does biao mean?"

He Mu and Song Xuan: "..."

He Mu finally decided to go to see the world with Jeff, it was just a party.It's not a dragon's pool and a tiger's den, it's no big deal, just dress up and make sure you're energetic enough.Then the two drive.It took five or six minutes to arrive at a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills.

The purpose of coming this time is mainly to see the world and get to know more people. There will be an audition tomorrow, and the chance of success is very high. Even if this trip to the United States was not in vain.

Just after entering the hotel, several middle-aged men with big bellies greeted Jeff.He Mu didn't know these people, and Jeff told him that these people were producers or owners of small film companies.He has a certain status in the American film industry, but his status is not high, about the same as him.

He Mu took a few more glances at those middle-aged men. In comparison, Jeff, who was still in his 30s and in good health, was more pleasing to the eye. Don't those successful people pay so much attention to their own image?

There were many people in the lobby of the hotel. There were ladies in costumes and well-dressed gentlemen. He Mu looked around to see if there were any legends here who had only seen them in movies, and some big names who were not less famous than actors. He could recognize the director, but at the beginning of the scan, he saw an acquaintance—Jackie Chan.

Jackie Chan also saw He Mu. After all, people of the yellow race are considered a minority here. Every Asian face that appears here can easily stand out from the crowd of white and black. When He Mu first came in, many people were looking at him. , probably guessing when Jeff's flirt hired a Chinese bodyguard.

At this time, Jackie Chan was chatting with a man who also had an Asian face. After seeing He Mu and Jeff beside him, Jackie Chan was taken aback for a moment, and then ran over to greet them with a smile.

He greeted Jeff first, it seems that they have known each other for a long time, and then gave He Mu a warm hug, "Little guy, long time no see, why are you here?"

Jackie Chan spoke in Chinese, and his warm embrace attracted the attention of many people. After all, as the number one star in Asia and the most popular Chinese in Hollywood, Jackie Chan is not just an actor, but more of a symbol The character is active in Hollywood. Even if his previous works did not sell well in North America, no one will despise him. His success and sense of recognition in Hollywood and the world are no longer something that can be denied by a few failed films at the box office. .

The appearance of Jackie Chan also surprised He Mu. His enthusiasm made He Mu a little embarrassed and moved. After the incident, they met several times, and they seemed peaceful on the surface, but it would be impossible to say that there was no grievance at all, but those grievances seemed to be relieved under this hug.

He Mu explained that he came to Los Angeles to audition for the lead actor in a Lionsgate film, and that he came here purely to see the world with Jeff. As for his relationship with Jeff, he pushed it to Jeff. , to be explained by him.

Jeff smiled and told Jackie Chan in Chinese, "This kid is his wife's natal family, and we are relatives."

Maternal family?Jackie Chan knew that Jeff's wife was Chinese, but he didn't expect this guy to speak Chinese so well and knew the word "natal family", and He Mu turned out to be his wife's natal family, which is really a wonder in the world!Although Jeff is not considered a big figure in the huge Hollywood, it is quite effective to speak on the one-acre three-point land of Lionsgate. It can be predicted that He Mu's entry into Hollywood has become inevitable. This kid is top-notch in both appearance and skills Well, coupled with the support of Jeff, a relative, there is no need to worry about not being famous. Thinking about the hardships of going to Hollywood for the third time, I really envy this lucky young man.

He Mu thought that Jackie Chan should be busy with the release of "Little Soldier" in China. This movie is said to hit the Lunar New Year file. Could it be that the eldest brother intends to introduce this movie to the United States?Later in the conversation, He Mu found out that Jackie Chan had another film to be released in the United States, which was "The Agent Next Door" he made before "Little Soldiers". Coincidentally, the North American distributor of this film was Lionsgate Films , it is Jeff who is in charge of the distribution work, so they know and get close to each other. Jackie Chan appeared in Los Angeles at this time for the world premiere of "The Agent Next Door" half a month later.

After chatting for a while, Jackie Chan enthusiastically dragged He Mu to meet a new friend, that is, the Chinese man he chatted with just now. According to Jackie Chan, he is a very popular director nowadays... (to be continued...)
