"Director Wei, you really can hold your breath."

Mr. Huo said.

Director Wei chuckled and said, "Why should we be impatient? The food here is so delicious, and the wine is so good, of course we have to savor it."

Master Huo smiled helplessly, then winked at Queen Jing.

Queen Jing understood and took Director Wei's secretary Chen Duling to another room to discuss the topic of skin care among women.

Director Wei straightened up. He knew it was time for dinner today.

really.

Mr. Huo didn't hide his true intention any more, but directly stated his true intention: "Director Wei, I heard that you want to shoot a Hong Kong film about a red strongman?"

Director Wei nodded and said, "That's true, but I won't film Mr. Huo."

Director Wei made his point clear.

"There's definitely nothing wrong with Mr. Huo's story, it's very touching, and it's absolutely possible to film about the feelings of family and country.

But if I were really asked to shoot a story about the Korean War, I would still prefer to make a pure war film rather than a biographical film.

"Director Wei said directly: "In that era, there were too many heroic and touching stories.

Mr. Huo was remarkable, but in my mind, his story wasn’t the most celebrated story of that era.”

Don't speak in secret in front of others.

Director Wei had read Mr. Huo's information and the Huo family's information, so he was sure that what he said would not offend anyone.

really.

Mr. Huo also said readily: "Don't worry, Director Wei, our Huo family is not that arrogant yet.

The great founding war of the nation, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, was fought with the lives of countless heroes.

Our Huo family may have played a small, insignificant role, but it certainly can't compare to the contributions of many heroes. So, of course, we can't let Director Wei, the number one figure in the Chinese film industry, make a biopic about our old man."

Director Wei hadn't been worried about this in the first place, and now he was completely relieved.

A wealthy family like the Huo family is indeed very wise in survival.

Director Wei’s current status in the film industry has indeed made him the number one in the Chinese-language film industry.

The War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, as the founding war of New China, is of such great significance that it goes without saying.

The above must be making a movie about this period.

I definitely hope that a big director will direct it.

Regardless of whether Director Wei was willing to agree, the official films of that era could not overly praise a certain person, even if that person was Mr. Huo, the famous patriotic entrepreneur.

Personal worship is unacceptable.

Besides, if there really is a cult of personality, it won’t be Mr. Huo’s turn.

There were so many great men who went against all odds and launched the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and so many commanders who were ready to fight.

But our country does not engage in personality cult.

What we can promote is only the spirit, and what we can praise is only the spirit.

If the Huo family wants Director Wei to make a film about Mr. Huo in that era, it may seem like there's nothing wrong with it, but given Director Wei's current status, it would seem like he's taking credit for something that hasn't been done before.

It seems to have a good effect and gain huge reputation, but it will not be a good thing for either Director Wei or the Huo family.

It is obvious that Director Wei and the Huo family have reached a consensus on this point.

So Director Wei and Mr. Huo clinked glasses.

“Cheers to our consensus.”

Master Huo said, "A tribute to the heroes of that era."

Director Wei gave Mr. Huo a thumbs up.

"As expected, you are the one who is going to be righteous. You are better than me."

I never thought of asking you to take the photo."

Master Huo chuckled and said, "We all understand the principle that everything will decline after reaching its peak, and Grandpa doesn't necessarily like this kind of empty reputation.

However, I have a small request.”

"explain."

"My grandfather doesn't really need fame, but our Huo family needs to rely on his fame."

Mr. Huo said.

Director Wei nodded.

The Huo family can be said to be a wealthy family created by Mr. Huo.

But Mr. Huo is gone.

And it has been going on for many years.

The Huo family can now be said to be living off the legacy left by Grandpa Huo.

Among the descendants of the Huo family, there is no one who can be compared with Grandpa Huo.

Of course, this has something to do with the overall environment.

Moreover, it is difficult for the heirs to compare with the founders. Mr. Huo was not surprised that Director Wei pointed this out.

It was no secret that he wanted to be upright.

In fact, he is already a member of the Hong Kong government.

It's just that his age means he can't be the one in charge right now.

Qualifications need to be cultivated slowly.

It can also be used to highlight the subject from the side.

That's why he invited Director Wei.

"Director Wei, our family has never thought of making a biographical film about Grandpa, let alone letting you do it."

Master Huo chuckled and said, "We all understand the principle that everything will decline after reaching its peak, and Grandpa doesn't necessarily like this kind of empty reputation.

However, I have a small request.”

"explain."

"My grandfather doesn't really need fame, but our Huo family needs to rely on his fame."

Mr. Huo said.

Director Wei nodded.

The Huo family can be said to be a wealthy family created by Mr. Huo.

But Mr. Huo is gone.

And it has been going on for many years.

The Huo family can now be said to be living off the legacy left by Grandpa Huo.

Among the descendants of the Huo family, there is no one who can be compared with Grandpa Huo.

Of course, this has something to do with the overall environment.

Moreover, it is normal that it is difficult for successors to compare with pioneers.

But the Huo family is definitely unwilling to remain silent.

The Huo family also wants to continue to maintain friendly relations with the higher-ups.

Therefore, the Huo family certainly needs to do something to prove their ability and value.

"Director Wei, you can help with this."

Mr. Huo said.

Director Wei asked thoughtfully, "How does Mr. Huo want me to help you?"

Master Huo said, "I won't make it difficult for Director Wei. I guarantee it will be a piece of cake for him."

Director Wei gestured for Mr. Huo to continue.

Mr. Huo said, "Director Wei's Station A has produced many variety shows. If there is a suitable show, Jingjing and I hope to use it to attract more attention."

Director Wei agreed immediately: "Of course, no problem. Queen Jing wants to participate in the program. Station A welcomes us with both hands. We are riding on Queen Jing's halo."

Mr. Huo smiled and said, "Jingjing is indeed very capable, but I am still the best at this kind of thing.

First he takes advantage of his grandfather, then he takes advantage of his wife, what a gigolo."

Director Wei also laughed when he heard this.

People who dare to make jokes about themselves are generally very confident.

However, it is indeed difficult for someone with Mr. Huo's status to be unconfident.

"Also, our family doesn't plan to make biographical films, but what do you think about making a TV series based on my grandfather, Director Wei?" asked Master Huo.

Director Wei raised an eyebrow and analyzed the situation carefully from the perspective of a professional director: "Mr. Huo came from a poor family, but he changed the trajectory of his life through his own hard work and struggle. He can be said to be a model of inspiration and chicken soup.

"Moreover, Mr. Fok loves his country and Hong Kong, and his stance on being a human being and upholding right and wrong is impeccable, making him a perfect example of positive energy.

"From the perspective of audience empathy, Mr. Huo's life is a life of a cool novel. He is so successful that he is even more awesome than the protagonists of many TV dramas and movies, so the audience will definitely enjoy watching him.

"From a propaganda perspective, the values embodied by Mr. Huo are completely correct and in line with the above tone and the values that mainstream society should promote.

"So Mr. Huo's life is indeed very suitable for being made into a TV series, and it has a high probability of being both a critical and commercial success."

It is too easy to please the audience by filming a Shuangwen-style male protagonist.

But Mr. Huo is really the male protagonist of the cool novel.

Start from scratch and become a billionaire.

And Mr. Huo is still a model of patriotism.

Do business.

Ten thousand family wealth.

From a formal perspective, the honorary title is almost at the level of a wealthy country.

The original owner's experience was truly a losing one.

Director Wei has to downplay Mr. Huo’s achievements when making a TV series, otherwise it will easily be considered unreasonable by the audience.

Reality is often more exaggerated than TV dramas.

Hearing Director Wei say this, Master Huo felt relieved.

"Director Wei, as long as you can take good care of it, that's all."
