Chapter 688: The Olive Branch of William Morris's Company
Sister Fang Fang is naturally very familiar with this kind of thing, and she said unhurriedly: "This is naturally very normal. In such a situation, you have the value of their investment, and that is William Morris, one of Hollywood's oldest brokerage firms, and the combined history of several other brokerage companies is not as long as this one. They are signed by top artists in various countries, and only influential stars in a certain region are eligible to be valued by them. In the whole of Asia, there is only one star who can be favored by them and come to the door to sign a contract. Of course, it doesn't mean that the star of the entertainment industry in the Asia-Pacific region, that is, Cheng Long, is the contracted actor of William Morris, such as Ayumi Hamasaki in Heisei Sanhime, Lee Jung-hyun of South Korea and others are all signed artists of William Morris, but they all found William Morris to sign a contract, and they were really approached by William Morris to sign a contract, that is, only Cheng Long was alone.
At this time, it can be seen that Cheng Long's status in William Morris Company. Ye Ming thought about it, and unconsciously felt sad for the artists in the Asia-Pacific region, this is a thing that people have to admit, artists in the Asia-Pacific region, if they want to mix in Hollywood, it is very difficult.
The real success means that there is only Cheng Long alone, of course, Li Lianjie and Zhou Yunfa are also relatively successful, but there is only one Cheng Long who signed a B-level contract with William Morris.
Cheng Long can have a salary of 18 million, which is inseparable from William Morris. And Li Lianjie and Zhou Yanfa are not as good as Cheng Long.
This is true of all three superstars, not to mention the others. Zhang Ziyi also signed a contract with William Morris later, but she signed a C-level contract, which will not be taken seriously at all.
Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "Even if I have some achievements. They can be approached by William Morris, but in such a situation, I don't think they can pay back the contract?"
This is what Ye Ming is worried about, although William Morris Company came to the door, which means that Ye Ming is qualified enough to sign a contract with William Morris. However, in one such case. William Morris will not give Ye Ming a good contract.
Cheng Long is a movie after movie, and the desperate action scenes prove that he is qualified to sign a B-level contract, but Ye Ming definitely does not have such a capital.
The success of a two-part movie just means that Ye Ming has the capital to become popular. Sister Fang Fang put forward her opinion very solemnly and said: "This matter, in fact, you should also focus on thinking about it, if you want to enter Hollywood, it will definitely not be possible to say that our brilliant film and television will not work."
You have to say that you have to sign with a big company that is familiar with the rules of Hollywood. And William Morris is the best choice. They can give you the best service, the best packaging and publicity. You need to be clear about that. Therefore, at such a time, if you want to enter Hollywood a little more smoothly, then it is better to focus on the company. ”
As Ye Ming's current agent, Sister Fang Fang is very clear about the benefits of Ye Ming's signing with William Morris at this time. She also knows that Ye Ming is that kind of stubborn temper, sometimes once Ye Ming is stubborn, eucalyptus is also very dangerous.
Therefore, as a broker. Sister Fang Fang was very cautious and reminded Ye Ming to pay attention to this. In such a situation, Ye Ming did not insist on his opinion in the end. The reason why the Chinese film market has always been unable to cheer up is that it does not have better management methods and does not have the motivation to make a big production. is like Zhang Yimou's hero, even if it is a big production.
But the hero's investment is not enough for even a fraction of the Titanic.
Just to say that the re-production of a 90% imitation of the Titanic's large cruise ship is not something that any domestic company can have the courage to do.
Therefore, Huaxia films need to be reformed, but how should the reform be carried out. This is not an easy thing to do, someone has to be able to take the lead.
Therefore, Ye Ming felt that if he could enter Hollywood, it would be very helpful to revitalize the Chinese film market in the future. Therefore. He felt that if he wanted to enter Hollywood, it was very necessary to be able to learn those models.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming is also very much looking forward to entering Hollywood, and at this time, signing with William Morris is also a very good choice.
He also understood Sister Fang's guidance, so he nodded and said, "Sister Fang, don't worry, I know it in my heart,"
And at this moment, in the Shangri-La Hotel, in a VIP box, an American with blue eyes and blond hair said a little hesitantly while drinking red wine: Cheng, you say, if Ye Ming comes, will we talk about the parents first, or directly talk about the contract?"
According to Howard's own thoughts, then at such a time, it is more normal to talk directly about the contract, and there is no need to be too polite at all. However, Ye Ming is different, he is a person valued by the company, so he will come to discuss with Ye Ming at this time.
At this time, Howard even said that he was afraid that he would not be able to succeed, so he directly asked Cheng Long to accompany him as a lobbyist.
Directly speaking, or contact the relationship first, this is all possible, to the Asia-Pacific region, that is, to abide by the rules of the Asia-Pacific region, in such a situation, Howard seems to be more hesitant.
Cheng Long said with a smile: "Ye Ming, this guy, I have a relationship with him, he is a very straightforward and direct person, different from other Chinese stars, you still have something to say, but let me remind you that you opened it this time, in fact, the sincerity you carried was not very enough."
Ye Ming is not an ordinary star, he is a Berlin actor, a singer of best-selling albums, and he is the owner of Brilliant Network, which proves that he is not such a simple actor. Therefore, when you want to sign a contract, you must maintain enough sincerity.
But you came to me when you were dying, and you didn't say what kind of level you signed Ye Ming's contract, and now you want to ask, this is a bit of an afterthought. What kind of contract did you bring today?"
In fact, when Howard came to Cheng Long and asked him to help get Ye Ming, he didn't say what level of the company the contract he brought, but at this time, Cheng Long was also very curious about what kind of contract William Morris brought this time.
Howard thought about it, although this is a secret in the company, but if he wants to talk to Cheng Long and the artist of his own company at this time, it should not be a big deal.
Therefore, after Howard thought about it, he said with some caution: "Actually, you should be very clear about what kind of start it should be when you come to our company, of course." Cheng's www.biquge.info of Biqu Pavilion is relatively high, but your fame is great and you have box office appeal, so at this time, if a newcomer wants to enter, he has to start directly from the lowest level, the D level.
Not all artists have contracts like yours. Even in Hollywood, in fact, there are not many stars who enjoy B-level contracts like you, not to mention that not Hollywood stars are not eligible to win B-level contracts. ”
Cheng Long is at this level and is not qualified to be at the A level, which shows that most of the people who can have this qualification are members of the 20 million box office club. In Howard's opinion, in fact, if Ye Ming started from the fourth D-level, it would be a normal thing.
At this moment, Cheng Long shook his head and said: "This matter, I think it's better to forget it, in such a situation, the company is reluctant to make a big capital, the fourth level of the contract, do you think Ye Ming will agree to sign such a contract? I think it's impossible, don't blame me for not reminding you when the time comes." ”
Howard also seemed to be very resolute and said: "This is the company's rule, I have no right to change it, if you want to change it, it must be agreed by the people above." If Ye Ming agrees, then everyone will naturally be happy, if it is said that Ye Ming does not agree, then at that time, you can say don't blame me for not reminding you. ”
What kind of person is Ye Ming's temper, Cheng Long is relatively clear, this is a tendon, and Howard, this guy, is actually a well-known tendon in William Morris's company.
He had no intention of giving in to such a thing.
After arriving at the hotel, to Ye Ming's surprise, it was not Howard who came alone, the person who accompanied Howard, Ye Ming was also very familiar, Cheng Long, a star with the highest status in Hollywood in the Asia-Pacific region, is the most successful one after Bruce Lee.
After Cheng Long saw Ye Ming, he said with a smile: "Congratulations Ye Ming, the starring movie can enter the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, which in itself is a thing worth celebrating." ”
The two of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Cheng Long immediately took Ye Ming's hand and said, "Ye Ming, let me introduce you, this is William Morris Company's agent to Mr. Howard, William Morris Company." I was also temporarily arrested this time. (To be continued......)
