They are all too deep into the drama!

Chapter 643 Gouzi Literature
As the new MGM, one of the former Hollywood giants, the 007 movie has achieved quite remarkable results and seems to be making a high-profile return to the ranks of Hollywood giants.

Naturally, every move of the new MGM began to attract corresponding attention.

The start of filming of "Now You See Me" has attracted a lot of attention, and even the 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.

Moreover, this Chinese man is not someone like Jackie Chan or Li Lianjie who had become famous in Hollywood in their early years, but a young man like Huo Mingjie!

Although Huo Mingjie has gained some fame through the two big-budget movies "Inception" and "Skyfall", he has become somewhat familiar to the public in Europe and the United States.

But with his current fame and number of fans in Europe and the United States, he is obviously not yet qualified to be the leading actor in a big-budget movie worth hundreds of millions of US dollars!

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

Since 08, the mainland's film market has grown rapidly. Last year, the total domestic film box office exceeded 35 billion yuan, and it is still growing at a rate of more than % per year.

Such a huge market is something that even Hollywood, which is oriented towards the global market, cannot ignore.

So since 08, we have been seeing Hollywood coming up with some magical operations that seem to be "showing goodwill" to the mainland film market, but are actually showing a condescending attitude.

For example, they emphasize that the film was shot in the mainland, and they find mainland actors to shoot a few seconds of footage to edit a special version for the mainland...

Before the new MGM, Lionsgate also radically used all Chinese actors to shoot "The Forbidden Kingdom" in 08.

It’s just that this movie is disguised as Eastern mythology, but in fact it is a story told from a Western perspective, which is completely unpopular.

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

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

Compared with Hollywood's pessimism, the domestic response is more positive.

After all, Huo Mingjie has a huge number of fans in China, and his popularity among the public is also very high, and his appeal is extremely terrifying.

That popular TV series in mainland China is the game promotion TV series "Swordsman Love: Cangjian Villa" in which Huo Mingjie had previously participated in filming.

Huo Mingjie merely made a cameo appearance as a character in the game, but this resulted in a dramatic increase in the number of players in the sect to which that character belonged. 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 lost its fascination with the "Hollywood" brand. Movies produced by Hollywood always receive relatively tolerant reviews.

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

Regarding Huo Mingjie's starring role in "Now You See Me", a commercial blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million US dollars, the domestic public opinion is of the kind of "great joy".

While fans in China and even across East Asia were excited and ecstatic about the success of their idol Huo Mingjie, some people 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 fact, Huo Mingjie has already received a lot of foreign resources.

"Inception", "Skyfall".

There is also a movie called "Time Traveler" which was not invested much but in which he played the leading role.

For these resources, it is actually quite normal.

Huo Mingjie only played a minor supporting role in the movie, which was a big investment. The only movie he played the leading role in, "Time Traveler", had 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 improvement is so exaggerated, it is really a bit exaggerated!

In response to such questions, Huo Mingjie's fans would answer with reasons such as Huo Mingjie's "good acting skills", "superior image", and that the new MGM "is very optimistic about the mainland film market" and "had a very pleasant collaboration with Huo Mingjie before".

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

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

But there are people who don’t believe it!
The lesson of "The Forbidden Kingdom" is not far away. To be honest, many people who know a little about the situation do not believe that these reasons are enough to make the new MGM take such a big risk and choose a Chinese star like Huo Mingjie as the leading actor!
Then someone brought Hollywood's coverage of "Now You See Me" back to the mainland Internet.

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 was accompanied by photos 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 what time it is, there will always be a market for Gouzi literature!

However, even if there were distorted interpretations by some people, it was just a photo after all, and not many people believed it at the beginning.

Even some black fans who took the opportunity to say weird things secretly were silenced by Huo Mingjie's fans and passers-by.

But given Huo Mingjie's current fame and popularity, there must be a specific reason for someone to become his black fan.

This type of black fans are often very persistent and determined, more "loyal" than die-hard fans, and can "fight" day after day for ten years.

This time, we finally encountered what is suspected to be the biggest black spot of Huo Mingjie since his debut. These black fans are really holding on to him, and some people have actually started to investigate carefully.

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