Chapter 929: The Mole of the Directors Guild

Huang Jianxin nodded and said: "This is very good, this is very good, because everyone is the director of Huaxia, isn't it, we must unite, I know, you directors have your own trump card in your hands, this time I don't want you to help much, just lend your ace members to Ye Ming." Ye Ming can't shoot it himself, and his subordinate Xu Zheng will serve as a director and shoot a movie, but what about the post-production?"

This matter is a thing that Ye Ming just said, and the post-production zuò is the most difficult thing to figure out.

In such a situation, it was precisely because of the difficulties of post-production that Ye Ming rejected the decision to use his latest film to impact [Pearl Harbor].

At this time, Huang Jianxin asked this question again, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I think Thai embarrassment will be a light comedy, if this post-production is too late, I can find a Hollywood company to do it, they do this at twice the speed of ours, high-tech, after all, it will save time."

And my new movie, as a Oscar-winning movie, I don't want any accidents to happen in the middle. Therefore, I hope you will understand me. ”

Ye Ming said so, everyone, as a director, is naturally not good at saying anything.

You Brother Chen Kai once wanted to impact the Oscars, and Zhang Yimou also wanted to impact the Oscars, but the results were unsuccessful, and now if Ye Ming wants to impact, then everyone still supports it verbally.

Although it is difficult to say how sincere this kind of support is, after all, it is a matter of face and support.

After the meeting ended, Huang Jianxin left Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige directly, which made Chen Kaige very surprised, because it was a matter of seniority to be said by President Liu Xia. According to Chen Kaige's qualifications, does it mean that there is no way to stay?

How long has this Ye Ming been playing movies, on such a question, doesn't it mean that Brother Chen Kai is not as good as Ye Ming?

Brother Chen Kai, who was sulking, reluctantly left the venue.

And Huang Jianxin and the other four came to a box, at this time Huang Jianxin looked at Ye Ming with some caution and said: "Director Ye, this thing is not a joke, you said that there is a mole in our director." Therefore, it is necessary to use this method of cultivating the plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang to ensure that your movie is released in time, who is this traitor?"

Huang Jianxin once consulted Ye Ming about the release of [Pearl Harbor], after all, among the four major directors in China, now Ye Ming himself has a work, to be honest, Huang Jianxin's consultation at the venue is just a process. He had already set the target on Ye Ming, and he had consulted Ye Ming for this issue earlier.

But Ye Ming has already said that there are moles within the Directors Association, and this question surprised Huang Jianxin very much.

There is actually a mole within the Directors Guild. This one gets interesting.

It's hard to say how Huaxia's director is able, but it is said that it is the ability to make money, especially the ability to make money for himself, in such a situation, it is said that it is quite powerful, and this level has already surpassed Hollywood.

Therefore, when it comes to traitor or something, it is a little difficult to say on such a question. Ye Ming said with great certainty: "This thing is inevitable. I'm not going to lie about this casually, as for who the mole is. I can be sure who did this, but I can't say it, because I don't have any solid evidence, and if there is no solid evidence for this thing, then once I say it, the other party will sue me.

But I know there is. And he is a very famous director, so he has to be on guard against this person. If Director Huang wants my film to block [Pearl Harbor], then I have no problem with such a thing, but I must keep it secret. ”

Ye Ming didn't say what kind of person this person was. This matter is also in line with Ye Ming's consistent style, don't fight uncertain battles, if you make a move, it must be a thunderous means.

Huang Jianxin glanced at Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, it was obvious that it would not be these two, because these two were invited by Ye Ming by name, if it was the two of them, then Ye Ming would not invite them.

Zhang Yimou is an old slippery head after all, at this time, when he heard Ye Ming's words, he pondered for a while and said: "If what I think is not wrong, this person is Brother Chen Kai, if it is not him, then it can't be someone else." ”

Others may not know about Brother Chen Kai, but Zhang Yimou, as a person who has worked with Brother Chen Kai, knows about this person. He really has such a character. Some of the proud look down on people, and the relationship with Ye Ming is very bad, if this person is Brother Chen Kai, it is not surprising at all.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "It's not him, although Director Chen Kaige is a little proud, and some people look down on people, but it is precisely because of his pride that at such a time, he looks down on foreign film companies together, in fact, even if it is the four major directors of Hollywood, in addition to being stupid, there are several people who are looked down on by Director Chen Kaige."

His pride is the pride in his bones, and he looks down on Hollywood studios at all, that is from the spiritual point of view. ”

The traitor is not Brother Chen Kai, which made Zhang Yimou very surprised at this point, but then Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "In this way, too, Lao Chen is indeed very proud, and everyone who is proud looks down on him, otherwise he would not be so high and low." ”

Director Chen Kaige is indeed a bit high and low in the circle, which is undeniable.

Feng Xiaogang said on the side: "Ye Zi, now it's just the four of us, you just say that you suspect someone." Are you still worried that a few of us won't be able to pass it on to you?"

It seems that there is really no need for this, Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is a strategy, Director Feng, you don't have to ask, I won't say it, this is a deeply hidden traitor, well disguised, and I will let him surface in the end."

However, for now, it is still a secret stage, and I will do my best to finish my film. Then I will do the post-production zuò, and when the time comes, I will change the screening date of Thai embarrassment to the slum millionaire, Thai embarrassment, at the last minute. It's just a smoke bomb, and that's a movie I'm preparing for a Chinese New Year. ”

This is the rhythm of digging a hole for everyone. Ye Ming just didn't want to say who it was, and Huang Jianxin and the three of them had no choice.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou was also worried and said: "A very important part of a movie is publicity, if there is a good publicity, then in such a situation, the distribution will be of great help, you changed to [Millionaire in the Slums] at the last moment, does this matter have an impact on the box office of the movie." ”

At first, everyone thought that the screening was Thai embarrassment, but in the end, Ye Ming was replaced by [Slumdog Millionaire], which was a risky thing in itself. At least Zhang Yimou thinks it's a very risky thing.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Director Zhang, don't worry about this matter, the hype in the early stage of my [Millionaire in the Slums] is also very powerful, that is, I didn't announce the screening date, this is a very exciting movie, and I dare to say that the quality of this movie will not disappoint everyone."

What's more, Huayi Brothers and the New Film Association will help with the final publicity and distribution. I'm worried about this, what's the point?"

The New Film Association will definitely help, and Ye Ming is one of the shareholders of the New Film Association. Moreover, Ye Ming's movie is responsible for intercepting a blockbuster like [Pearl Harbor], so in such a situation, the people of the New Film Association will try their best to help.

As for the Huayi brothers, they don't want to help. That was also impossible, because they had already promised Ye Ming that they would help. This is also Ye Ming's reliance.

In fact, Ye Ming's last reliance was not said, and the movie promoted Ye Ming to rely on the Internet in the end, which is Ye Ming's biggest advantage. In such a situation, Ye Ming will keep it until the end.

Seeing Ye Ming's confident appearance, Huang Jianxin nodded and said: "If you have confidence, you can do it, otherwise, then our Chinese movies will really be embarrassed." ”

In fact, Ye Ming is really not the best choice, Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, and even Brother Chen Kai are better choices than Ye Ming, after all, Ye Ming is too young. Young people have the impression that they are not good at work.

But now the four major directors have a film, and Ye Ming is indeed the only one, so at such a time, he can only count on Ye Ming. When the four of them are together, it is natural to have dinner.

Eating and drinking at public expense, this is impossible, the four directors are not bad for money, so they will not make mistakes on this issue, this time it was Huang Jianxin who invited Ye Ming and the three of them to dinner. In fact, this kind of private spending money to invite guests to dinner is a good opportunity to really build relationships.

If you use public funds, others may not be able to accept your affection, and you may be accused of corruption. But there is no need to worry about paying for it yourself.

Zhang Yimou seemed to have suddenly thought of something during the meal and said, "Ye Zi, just now you said that Spielberg's new movie [Minority Report] is about to start filming, isn't it?

This question should actually be asked by reporters, and reporters should be most concerned about such a thing, but they didn't expect Director Zhang Yimou to ask such a question at the dinner table.

Ye Ming didn't think about it and said, "Two weeks, the specific time has been given over there." After two weeks, I went to the crew to report, so I was also very short of time, two weeks is the most to finish my film, and it is difficult to say whether I will participate in the post-production. "The key is to look at the time of Spielberg's crew, if there is time, Ye Ming will naturally say that he will hope that he can participate in the post-production of his own film.

This time it was not asked by the reporter, so there is no need for Ye Ming to tell any lies on such a question, otherwise, it would be hypocritical.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "Yezi, I have a mention, of course it is an immature idea of my own, if you go to filming, can you take a few of our mainland actors with you?"

Ye Ming frowned and said: "This seems impossible, let alone a movie crew like Hollywood, even if it is our mainland crew now, if you want to bring the actors over rashly, it will not be an easy thing." Director Zhang, you should know this matter very well, there are rules. ”

This is indeed an industry rule, an unspoken rule, the general director and producer set the actors, and when they are set, they will not change the actors casually without anything special, and the more large-scale the production, the more so.

It is impossible for Zhang Yimou not to know this, but he still said it like this, which made Ye Ming very incomprehensible. If it is said that a new director has made such a mistake, it may be forgivable, such as a new director like Xu Zheng.

But Zhang Yimou is not, he is a national teacher, and he is the elite of the part of Huaxia who stands at the top of the entertainment industry. He shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake in such a situation.

Huang Jianxin also took over and said: "Lao Zhang, this matter really makes Ye Ming a little embarrassed, it is difficult to bring the actors in." ”

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Director Huang, I didn't mean to bring the actors in directly, I know that in this Hollywood blockbuster, there are many actors who want to get in, so our mainland directors are very lucky if they want to go in."

Besides, it is impossible to bring the actors in directly. Don't bring actors in, but if you bring some assistants and agents in, there is no problem, and even if Ye Ming wants to bring a translator over, this is understandable. Therefore, according to such a condition, Ye Ming would be able to bring at least three or four people over. These three or four people were all accompanying staff. But it is true that I will take our Chinese actors with me.

I think it is very necessary for the actors to broaden their horizons by taking everyone to understand how the Hollywood blockbuster zuò is filmed. Moreover, what kind of work do Hollywood's top directors and top actors do, such a thing is also very worth looking forward to. I think it's very possible to do that. ”

Hollywood's film shooting is indeed a little different from that of Huaxia, but it is indeed not easy to see how people shoot, and not everyone is like Cheng Long who can fight to Hollywood to fight for a place for himself.

In Huaxia, it is hard to say that the current actors are in Hollywood, that is, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Yanfa are the three of them. The rest of the people, really not enough to see. (To be continued......)
