Chapter 951: A Rising Tide Lifts All Boats
[Minority Report] The crew is out on location, which is big news for reporters in the entertainment industry. In fact, any one of the [Minority Report] crew is very big news, the previous Ye Ming discrimination incident was hyped by the media for more than two weeks, and later because Spielberg sent a lawyer's letter to those media, and Ye Ming's attitude on such a thing is resolutely on the side of the crew, therefore, this news is over, and some later things, even the treatment of Ye Ming in the crew, will become news material. And one of the foods that Ye Ming likes to eat, pancake rolls and green onions, that pancake, is not something that ordinary people can make, it can be said that even in Chinatown in Los Angeles, it is not easy to find authentic pancakes. In such a situation, it is even said that Ye Ming himself made pancake rolls and green onions, it is said that the starring Tom Cruise and the crew of the crew Andre were invited by Ye Ming to eat once, and they were full of praise for Ye Ming's craftsmanship, thinking that this pancake is much more delicious than pies and pizza, especially the oil and flour that Ye Ming chose on it are said to be the oil refined from wild pork in China, and the flour is pure natural, without any chemical fertilizer, the stone grinding flour on the Yellow River impact plain, it is said that Huaxia has been grinding noodles with stone grinding for two or three thousand yearsγ God, the entire United States has only been founded for more than 200 years, and now Ye Ming doesn't know where to make a flour made of stone grinding. A reporter from Hollywood Weekly said it was a contempt for American food culture. Standing at the height of history, he despises the crude food culture of the United States. By the way, the reporter of Hollywood Weekly, that is, the reporter who wrote this news, Bright, ate the pancakes made by Ye Ming with Tom Cruise and others at that time. And I saw with my own eyes how the miraculous stone mill made wheat into flour. Bright also specially asked Ye Ming why he didn't bring the flour directly, but Ye Ming also ridiculed the customs in the United States, saying that if he brought the flour directly, it would be tested according to the food. Food testing in the United States is very strict, at least a month may not be successful, if Ye Ming wants to eat those flours, maybe he will have to wait longer, and by then, the crew may have already ended. But wheat. That is, according to the seeds, the general testing will not be so strict, and it will be passed in three or two days. Bright deliberately ridiculed the U.S. Customs for this, thinking that they were idle and painful old men.
To Bright's surprise, Ye Ming was able to find a way to exchange for a stone mill, which was said to have been bought from the thrift market in Chinatown, and this stone mill was said to have been brought by Gu Hongming when he came to the United States, and he didn't know if it was true or fake.
Anyway, Bright finally said that the pancakes made by Ye Ming were the best. He had never tasted such a delicious taste again.
It is said that director Spielberg also ate the pancakes made by Ye Ming, but the director did not admit it, God knows why he didn't like to eat the crew's boxed lunch recently.
Tom Cruise even said that the pancake rolls and green onions made by Ye Ming, paired with braised pork, are a perfect match, so delicious.
Ye Ming later told Bright. This is just a small part of Chinese civilization, the tip of the tongue. Enough to surprise any foreigner.
Of course, this is the most talked-about news that the crew has worn recently. And now there's finally another big news that overshadows the news of pancake rolls and green onions.
At this time, it means that the crew is going to go out on location, which is a rare opportunity to understand the filming situation of the crew.
Many reporters don't get the opportunity to go to the crew for interviews.
A big director of Spielberg's level, if he wants to block the news, it is very easy, especially in such a situation, the crew also has this kind of racial discrimination. Therefore, Spielberg didn't let a few reporters in for interviews at all, and the news of the crew known to the outside world was very exciting.
Now it's different, now that the crew is going to go out on location, the opportunity for an interview has come.
And in Hollywood. In fact, there is such an unspoken rule, generally speaking, the director will not restrict reporters from interviewing when he goes out on location, of course, reporters must also abide by an unspoken rule, that is, they cannot interfere with the filming of the crew.
This is an unspoken rule that everyone knows by heart.
Even Spielberg would not easily touch such an unspoken rule.
In this matter, no matter how you say it, the whole thing has a tacit understanding that is hard to imagine.
The crew began to prepare, and the director was also thinking about how to end the location shooting as soon as possible.
Moreover, Lao Andre also looked for Ye Ming in particular, and the purpose of looking for Ye Ming was to pass on a message to him, so that he could unify his voice with the crew when he was interviewed.
This time, if there is no reporter who asks what happened last time the racial discrimination incident, it would be strange. As one of the victims, Ye Ming must maintain a unified voice with the crew.
Otherwise, in such a situation, it means that the reporter will laugh at it, or even talk about the hidden news that has been dug up. This is not what Spielberg saw, so he had to talk to Ye Ming.
At this time, Li Yapeng said a little unwillingly: "This is also a good opportunity for hype for Boss Ye, if you use this opportunity, you should be making a name for yourself in Hollywood." That's what a lot of people do in China. β
Ye Ming shook his head with a smile and said, "You also said this matter, if it is in China, it may be a good opportunity for hype." But if the real thing is in the United States, then things can't be so simple.
At such a time, we are on the same starting line as the crew, and our interests are the same. Also, you said I took advantage of the hype this time,. It's to be able to make a name for yourself in Hollywood.
But at that time, I completely offended Spielberg. After the return, Fox was also offended by me.
That guy Diller wouldn't let go of someone who offended him easily. Although I am not afraid of offending them, it is not good for me to find myself two enemies so big.
On the contrary, if I am on their side in a real situation, then at this time it is tantamount to saying that I owe them a favor.
When it comes like this, later. What is difficult for me is to be able to use this favor to get them to help me.
In foreign countries, in fact, it is also a humane society, hello, hello, everyone, this is the real Hollywood society. Losing both sides is not good for anyone. β
Actually, at the beginning. Ye Ming leaked this matter from the crew.
It was also meant to make a big fuss, but in the end, I held back this thought in my heart.
Being able to directly press your personal preferences is the only way to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Therefore, Li Yapeng's idea is to be able to get benefits for a while, but in the long run, this thing is not cost-effective.
Because this matter is in Hollywood, and the situation in China is different, it is not wrong for Li Yapeng to have such an idea. Different children are different in different environments, and the results may be different.
On such a thing. Li Yapeng just represents the ideas of a considerable number of domestic actors.
Therefore, Ye Ming didn't blame him, he came out to learn, and being able to learn something was their ability, if he couldn't, then in such a thing, it would be regarded as a trip to Los Angeles.
But if Ye Ming doesn't say anything, it doesn't mean that others don't say anything. Ma Su said unhappily: "You, but brains." We are in someone else's territory, so naturally we can't be too arrogant, and you see now, even if we go to watch others film, no one will stop us, why is this?"
Li Yapeng wanted to say something. But in the end, he didn't say what he had the opportunity to say, but Wang Baoqiang, who has always been an honest man, took over and said: "That's because our boss's status has improved, we just came some time ago, and we wanted to watch others act but were intercepted, and we didn't want to watch it at all." Look at the look in their eyes. They just look down on us.
But now, let's not say that there is no one to stop us when we go to the theater, and when we meet someone from the crew who brings coffee or something, we don't miss a share, although I might as well drink that thing as cold and white, but it is also the attention of the crew to us. β
Ye Ming is a supporting role in the crew, but he is a supporting role that can conquer both director Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise. Therefore, Ye Ming's status in the crew has been greatly improved, and no one dares to underestimate Ye Ming anymore.
Moreover, in such a situation, Wang Baoqiang and the three of them who followed Ye Ming over also had a great improvement in status.
It's a cruel place in Hollywood, and if you say yes, you're always going to be respected. If you say that you don't have the ability, then how can others respect you?
Li Yapeng actually felt the respect he had received in the crew in the past few days, if it was without Ye Ming's strong support behind him, then these Hollywood crew members would be above the top, and they would not take these three staff members to heart at all.
Ma Su also nodded and said, "Yes, what are we doing here, isn't it just to open our eyes and see how they study?"
Ye Ming also didn't want Li Yapeng to get more blame when he was like this, because in such a situation, it was all about the face of the princess and Na Ying.
Li Yapeng was introduced by the princess and Na Ying, if it is too ugly, there is no place to put the face of the two queens.
Therefore, Ye Ming thought about it and immediately said: "There is nothing wrong with this, the three of you have not come to the Hollywood crew for a day or two." In such a situation, you yourself are talking about how you feel. What's the difference between a Hollywood crew and our Chinese crew?"
Ma Su thought about it and immediately said: "Strict, very strict, what they do is very professional, props are to make props, lighting is to manage lighting, there is a specialization in the art industry, they do this very well, unlike our crew, it is not impossible for lighting to do props, and even I have been to a crew, props, lighting, art, and drama are all one person, how can such a crew shoot a good movie." β
Ye Ming nodded and said: "Almost, after all, Hollywood has been developing for almost a hundred years, so their professionalism is very good."
Therefore, we really cannot compare with them in such a matter. On such a thing, our Huaxia crew is not saying that they can't make a good movie, if the crew copes with it.
For example, the sixth generation of film directors is indeed able to shoot good movies, but it is difficult to shoot classics. A classic not only means that the movie should be good, but also that it must reach a high level in all aspects, which is a classic.
It's not easy for us to produce classics in Huaxia. However, we are progressing, and in such a situation, we always have a catch-up day. β
Li Yapeng was the second to say it, Wang Baoqiang didn't mean to compete at all, or Wang Baoqiang didn't think about what he learned from the crew until now.
Therefore, Li Yapeng thought for a while and said: "One thing I saw is that they generally have a strict crew before filming, and what they shoot today and what they shoot tomorrow have an early plan, so their shooting speed will be very fast." But our Huaxia crew, although it is said that there is also a script, but if it can really follow the script step by step, then in such a situation, it is indeed a little impossible. β
It's not that people in domestic crews like Li Yapeng said like they like to play, but that in terms of filming progress, Huaxia's speed is indeed not as fast as Hollywood's crews.
This point, in fact, is also true, some domestic lens shooting will waste some time, and there will be a lot of opportunities for NG mortals.
Therefore, in such a situation, Li Yapeng felt that the efficiency of this minority report was very high.
If the people of Huaxia can learn from this point, it will be considered a pretty good result. At least this is quite helpful for Li Yapeng. (To be continued......)
