Chapter 1300 Rights and Responsibilities
The years have turned the green onions into gorgeous hair, and the stumbling days have turned yesterday into quicksand. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info And today, who plucked the strings of time and let the tears drip on the Zhiya of time.
Of course, Ye Ming doesn't care about Universal, they have less than five million investment, so they won't pay much attention to this movie at all, and Universal is a company in the entertainment industry, at least on the surface, it will follow the rules of the entertainment industry.
As long as Universal wants to mix in Hollywood, then on the surface, at least it will follow the rules of the entertainment industry, and if they follow the rules of the entertainment industry, then Ye Ming will not be afraid of anything. As for whether he will do anything in secret, it's hard to say.
Ye Ming was actually not afraid of what they would do in secret.
After all, it is said that on such a problem, there is no one behind Ye Ming. But now Ye Ming cares most about Madoff, this guy is simply an old fox, the biggest Ponzi scheme of this century was made by this guy, you can imagine how high this guy's IQ is, not to mention, but EQ is definitely a few streets away from Einstein.
Anyway, such a Tang person, no matter how much attention is paid to it, it is not too much. George didn't feel any pain in this, because he didn't know what kind of person Madoff was, and on such a question, Madoff's disguise was still very capable of deceiving some people.
Therefore, George didn't care much about Ye Ming's words, and said lightly: "Isn't Madoff not involved in the movie?"
A person who is engaged in finance, doesn't he just want to launder money, and he is not alone in Hollywood, he is in charge of money, no matter what else, don't worry, I will help you pay attention to this. By the way, the contract, let's change it, the company decided to give you a B-level contract, this is the company's attention to you, in the Chinese entertainment industry, the only actors who can be a little higher than you are Cheng Long and Li Lianjie. ā
Ye Ming knew that his contract would be changed to a second-tier contract sooner or later, which was related to his changes in the entertainment industry. Although Ye Ming said that he was influential, he had never been a starring actor after all.
In this case, although it is said to be a money laundering movie made by the Universal guy himself, there is no doubt that this Fast and Furious is a top-notch production anyway.
Therefore, in such a contract, William Morris is reluctant to give Ye Ming, but innovation will be given to Ye Ming, this is to win over Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Why is it a B-level contract, isn't it an A-level contract? I am a top-level production this time, and 50 million in Hollywood should be regarded as a movie among top-level productions, right? Why didn't you give me an A-level contract?" ā
In Ye Ming's view, in fact, this time it should be that the innovative artist agency has a first-tier contract for himself, but he didn't expect that in the end, he just said that he was given a B-level contract.
George glanced at Ye Ming and said: "Boss Ye, forget it, this Hollywood has Hollywood rules, what level of contract does an actor want to give, we all have a complete calculation method, what kind of person gives what kind of contract is not decided by one person, it is set by the company."
The investment of 50 million is indeed a top-level production in Hollywood, and although you have begun to receive invitations from Hollywood's top-level productions to play the leading role, you have not really starred at this time.
When you're done with Fast and Furious, if your next movie is the same level of film, then you don't need to say it, our company will also replace you with a top-level production, and at this point, no one in the company can make an exception. ā
Although George still said that it is very similar to making Ye Ming an artist with an A-level contract, because if Ye Ming's contract becomes an A-level contract, then George's own commission as an agent is very much.
Therefore, in such a matter, Ye Ming's interests are actually the same as George's, and there is no contradiction between the two of them.
But at this time, it doesn't mean that you want an A-level contract, or you have to have an A-level contract. Now give Ye Ming a B-level contract, that's because Ye Ming has reached this point, and the B-level contract is in line with Ye Ming's identity, so there is no need for Ye Ming to say anything, the people in the innovation company naturally said that they would change the contract.
At this time, Ye Ming said without thinking about it: "Does it mean that because of the first top-produced movie I received, the company is afraid that my performance will not be very stable, and if the second part is the same as the starring role of the top production, it will show my value?"
George nodded very affirmatively and said: "It's almost like this, in fact, some stars in Hollywood, many of them are like this, they received the position of the leading actor of the first top production, at this time, it is starting to swell, if it is said that the first top production of the film can not get enough box office, they will soon be beaten back to the second line, saying that this thing will not be uncommon in Hollywood."
Therefore, the company will not casually give a Yanyan promotion contract. Only by saying that your first film is a top-level production, and the box office of this top-level production cannot lose money, the best box office is to make money, and the surrounding development can determine that this actor really has A-level value, in this case, the company will give A-level contracts.
Therefore, on such a problem, in fact, no matter what it is, the parent company also depends on the stability of an actor in such a matter. The company wants actors with stable performance, not disposable paper cups, and you should understand the company's difficulties. ā
A-level contract, it's really not so easy to get, hearing this, Ye Ming is also very helpless, but the actual situation is really like this, on this issue, Ye Ming said helplessly: "It is more difficult to guarantee the box office, it seems that there are not many stars in Hollywood who can get A-level contracts, isn't this without reason?"
George also nodded and said: "A-level contracts must have A-level treatment, and the company will focus on taking care of publicity and other aspects, so at such a time, it is almost said that all second- and third-tier stars want to get such a contract."
If you can get an A-level contract, then it is also a guarantee for your career. At least in two or three years.
You don't have to worry that your career won't have a chance to grow at this time. The company will be of great help, both in terms of films and awards. You know, whether it's the Golden Globes or the Oscars, there are people above us. ā
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Could it be that Oscar can also be operated in the dark? If it is decided, will it be exposed?" If this is really the case, then this matter is a relatively big scandal.
George laughed and said: "The Oscars will not be decided, this is too troublesome, after all, so many judges can't get it all." But there are a lot of judges who are related to our company, and it is no problem to influence the Oscars a little. You'll understand this when you get an A-level contract. ā
In Hollywood, it is not impossible for independent films to win awards, but there are very few, unless it is the kind of independent film that is really very against the sky and really has artistic value, it is possible to break the monopoly of the eight Hollywood majors. Generally speaking, any Golden Globe Award or Oscar can only be won by movies with a background and a company.
Therefore, on such a question, in fact, no matter what it is, Ye Ming has begun to set foot in this circle, and he has to understand some of the unspoken rules of this circle.
For example, the problem of the contract this time is something that Ye Ming has not encountered before, and there are naturally lawyers to do everything in the past, but this time, Ye Ming has to choose what kind of future path he will follow.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Balance, I will pay attention to such things." If I don't sign an A-level contract, I won't sign it, and when the next movie comes, then at a time like this, I'll let Innovation personally send me the contract. ā
Speaking of which, Ye Ming is full of confidence, entering Hollywood is to be able to have better development, Ye Ming seems to be going to Hollywood to be an A-level star, in fact, it is not impossible. And sometimes, what is missing is just an opportunity.
Now Ye Ming's opportunity has come. Fast and furious, although there are not many people who are optimistic about this movie, and even Madoff will not be interested in investors. But at this time, Ye Ming really decided that this was a very good movie, and he was confident that it would do well at the box office.
But Ye Ming has such confidence, and it is impossible for them to have such confidence. Universal's own assessment department believes that Fast & Furious has no audience. But actually, on such a problem, in fact, almost everyone does it like this.
In doing so, it would allow more people to help Hollywood take the risk of film investment. Hollywood is so big, there are very few movies that can actually make money at the box office every year.
If it is said that it becomes a product or something to make money, then basically many Hollywood movies survive based on this. This is also the means of survival of most Hollywood films.
Therefore, Ye Ming himself has so much confidence, and it is impossible for others to follow with that much confidence. George thinks that Ye Ming is arrogant, and it is not wrong that Ye Ming has a background, but if it is said that there is no good work, it is impossible to give an A-level contract to innovation, which he himself is very clear about as an innovative agent.
Back at the company, Sister Fang Fang immediately came to the door and said, "Boss, this time we signed a contract like this with Universal to invest in their movie, and this is your first Hollywood movie to play the leading role." I think this is a good time to publicize. ā
In fact, when I was in my brotherhood, many reporters were also waiting for this news. Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "There is no need to deliberately find reporters to hold a press conference." The company cooperates with Universal, which can be used to publicize and ensure that our brilliant film and television has continuous news in the entertainment industry. ā
In the entertainment industry, if there is news, there is exposure, and if there is enough exposure, there will be more opportunities for performances. And that is to say, on such a problem, in fact, more people want to be exposed as soon as possible. But on such a problem, some things are not so simple.
Sister Fang Fang was also very curious and said: "This is a good opportunity to promote yourself, now our Chinese actors want to open a top-level production movie in Hollywood, and it is the leading role, this is almost impossible, why not promote it." ā
Yes, now it is almost said that very few Chinese stars can open a top-level starring movie in Hollywood. Even Cheng Long has focused his main energy on Huaxia's side.
Therefore, Ye Ming signed a contract with Fast and Furious at this time, which is a very good opportunity for publicity. Sister Fang Fang actually didn't understand, why Ye Ming was reluctant to publicize this matter?
Ye Ming said with a smile: "I want to know that if this matter is said to be very beneficial to me if we publicize it, but don't forget, now is the time for Super Girl, if it is my news and our large-scale hype, it will have a certain impact on Super Girl."
Even if I don't say it, if our company doesn't hype, there are reporters to help hype, so we don't have to worry about it, otherwise, it will steal the limelight from Supergirl, and when Supergirl passes, Fast and Furious will almost start shooting, so in this case, there is time for us to hype. ā
Ye Ming is not only an actor, but also a boss, therefore, on such a problem, Ye Ming has become a special existence among actors, but since this is the case, Ye Ming, as the boss, must bear a certain responsibility.
For example, this time, if he hyped his news, he would definitely steal the limelight with Supergirl, so for one reason that he said this, he couldn't hype, which could be regarded as a sacrifice.
While enjoying the benefits brought by the status of rights, it is also necessary to bear certain responsibilities. (To be continued.) )
