Chapter 435 The reception in Beverly Hills

He Mu does not deny that he was shocked by the visual wonders created by "The Gods Come to Earth", but this movie is not perfect. To be picky, its plot still follows the Hollywood clichéd path. If you watch too many Hollywood movies, you can find countless templates similar to "The Gods Come to Earth". However, this movie has moved the background to an alien planet, so it seems very innovative, but it still cannot cover up the weakness in the plot. He Mu is a professional filmmaker

Scholars, and they are the kind of people who see stories more important than technology. Compared with him are technical madmen such as James Cameron and Tsui Hark, who believe in technology more. Although the script that Cameron spent ten years polishing is impeccable in many aspects, and the plot tension and scientific common sense are fine, it seems a bit insignificant compared to this movie's extraordinary special effects technology. It can only be said that this book is considered good, but far from excellent enough.

He Mu still has a very high evaluation of "The Gods Come to Earth", and believes that this is the best movie he has seen this year and even in the past two years, but there is still a gap from the best movie he has ever seen in his life, and his skillful skills cannot make up for these gaps. After his evaluation was passed into Jeff's ears through Song Xuan, Jeff deeply agreed, and was very pleased that He Mu was not frightened by the special effects of Cameron's contemporary technology. He Mu's views are the same as those of many well-known film critics. This is also why the box office of this movie is as good as a god's help, but there are many failures in awards, which is far less than the sweeping momentum of "Titanic" back then.

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

"What party?" He Mu is not a party expert. He doesn't like to participate in such activities that are meaningless except socializing in China. However, since Jeff asked, he naturally hoped that he would participate.

"Today there is a Los Angeles film critics agency in Beverly Hills, and there will be many big-name stars, directors and producers participating. It is said that Cameron will also be there. Should he criticize his weak film script face to face?" Jeff teased.

"You think I'm a brilliance, I'm afraid I'll only be left to praise me when I see Cameron." He Mu laughed.

Jeff paused for a while, then turned around and asked Song Xuan. "Dear, what does swearing ao mean?"

He Mu, Song Xuan: “…”

He Mu finally decided to go to the world with Jeff. It was just a party, not a big deal. He simply dressed up and made sure he was energetic enough. Then the two drove and took five or six minutes to a luxury hotel in Beverly Hills.

The purpose of this trip is mainly to see the world and get to know more people. The audition will be held tomorrow. The chance of success is very high, even if it fails. If he can have some connection with the people in the top Hollywood power circle present, He Mu's trip to the United States will not be in vain.

As soon as he entered the hotel, several middle-aged men with big belly greeted Jeff. He Mu didn't know these people. Jeff told him that these people were all producers or owners of small film companies. They had a certain status in the American film industry, but their status was not high. They were similar to him.

He Mu looked at the middle-aged and old men a few more times. In comparison, Jeff, who was in his thirties and in a healthy body, was even more pleasing to the eyes. Are those successful people so unattended to their image?

There were many people in the hotel lobby, including ladies in dress and gentlemen in good clothes. He Mu looked around and wanted to find out if there were any legendary characters here that he had only seen in the movies, and some great directors who were not inferior to actors, and he could recognize them. As a result, he saw an acquaintance at the beginning of scanning - Jackie Chan.

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

At this time, Jackie Chan was chatting with a man with an Asian face. When he saw He Mu and Jeff beside him, Jackie Chan was first stunned, and then ran over with a smile to say hello to them.

He first greeted Jeff, it seemed that they had 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 said it in Chinese. His enthusiastic embrace attracted a lot of people's attention. After all, as the number one star in Asia and the most popular Chinese in Hollywood, Jackie Chan is no longer just an actor, but more of a symbolic character active in Hollywood. Even though his previous works were not sold in North America, no one would underestimate him. His success and sense of identity in Hollywood and even the whole world are no longer something that few movies that failed box office can deny.

The appearance of Jackie Chan also surprised He Mu. His enthusiasm made He Mu a little embarrassed and moved. This was a feeling of meeting an old friend in a foreign land, so that He Mu forgot the unhappiness of "The Soldiers". Although they met several times after that incident, and they looked peaceful on the surface, it was impossible to say that there was no grudge at all, but those grudges seemed to be relieved under this hug.

He Mu explained that he came to Los Angeles to audition for the second male lead in a movie called Lionsgate. He would come here to see the world with Jeff. As for his relationship with Jeff, he pushed it to Jeff and explained it.

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

Family? Jackie Chan knew that Jeff's wife was Chinese, but he didn't expect that this guy said so well in Chinese, and he also knew the word "family" and He Mu was actually his wife's family. This is really amazing in the world! Although Jeff is not a big figure in the huge Hollywood, speaking on the one-point three-point ground of the Lions Gate is quite useful. It can be foreseen that He Mu's entry into Hollywood has become inevitable. This kid is top-notch, in addition to the support of Jeff, he will not worry about not being able to make a name for himself. Thinking about the hardships he had made in Hollywood three times back then, I really envy this lucky young man.

He Mu thought Jackie Chan should be busy with the release of "The Soldiers" in China now. This movie is said to be about to hit the New Year's Eve. Does the elder brother intend to introduce this movie to the United States? Later, during the conversation, He Mu realized that Jackie Chan had another movie to be released in the United States, which was "Agents Next Door" he filmed before "The Soldiers Next Door". Coincidentally, the North American distributor of this movie was Lionsgate, and Jeff was responsible for the distribution work, so they knew each other and became familiar with each other. Jackie Chan appeared in Los Angeles at this time to premiere of "The Soldiers Next Door" half a month later.

After chatting for a while, Jackie Chan enthusiastically pulled He Mu to meet new friends, the Chinese man he just chatted with. According to Jackie Chan, he was a hot director now...
