Loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are not high enough, this guy Corklian is not an artist, therefore, Ye Ming believes very much that this guy is the kind of person who will definitely put his interests first.

Emmerich said with some rejoicing: "I really feel sad for the history of MGM, those capitalists are not for movies at all." Fortunately, we have a big tree on our backs, and with News Corp., we basically don't have to worry about the possibility of being sold. ”

If it is Fox Film Company taken over by other capital, then it may be sold halfway at this time, but News Corp is different, News Corp itself does this business, and Murdoch, the old guy, plans to let Fox Film Company lay golden eggs for him, so naturally he will not sell the hen of Fox Film Company easily.

After arriving at the company, Emmerich told Luo Tian while getting out of the car: "This time, our role is actually selected by three candidates, although this is a homeless role, but it is still more cautious in the choice." The first one to settle down is you, the other is the ruffian Eminem, which you should be familiar with, and the last one is Glenn Pamor, a very good black actor. ”

Ye Ming is not surprised by this finale, Hollywood chooses roles and sets a few actors to audition, this is a convention, even if it is the protagonist, there will be at least one alternative.

Therefore, he said indifferently: "This is very serious, I want to compete, I am still looking forward to this opportunity, by the way, Eminem, this bastard doesn't make records, why did he come here to act in movies?"

Glenn Pamore Yeming is not very familiar, but when it comes to the day after tomorrow, he knows this person to some extent. The homeless man with the dog in the library was originally played by Glenn Pamor.

It's surprising that this guy Eminem wants to participate in this movie.

Emmerich said with a smile: "Who knows what this guy thinks, everyone in Hollywood doesn't know what this guy who is in a trance is thinking in the next second, but you can't deny it, this guy is a genius, and he is the top master among rappers." ”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "And the most important thing is that he is actually a white man, right?"

Maybe. American rappers are more famous than blacks, and finally a white master appeared, and naturally he was looked at differently. Inside the corporate office, the secretary told Emmerich that Glenn Palmmore had been waiting for him for a long time.

Entering the office, Emmerich said apologetically, "Glenn, I've kept you waiting, I just went to pick up someone and introduce you." Mission Impossible inside the supporting role, Ye Ming, the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. And of course one of your competitors. ”

This is where the American director really is, and I will introduce him to your face as your competitor, which makes it clear.

It's not like a domestic movie, when choosing actors, they like to hide and tuck. Pamol said hello to Ye Ming, which was polite, and then said very regretfully: "Director Emmerich, I'm really sorry." This role, I don't think I can take it. ”

This question made Emmerich stunned. Before the audition, Pamore said that he was going to quit, and this is singing in that place. At this moment, Pamore said helplessly: "This matter is actually very regrettable, you know that I have a movie [Voodoo Curse] I am the screenwriter of this movie, and of course the actors, at this time." It's hard for me to find the time to shoot the day after tomorrow. Although this is a low-budget movie, I have promised that I will pass.

So all I can say is sorry to you. ”

In Hollywood, there is such a thunderous rule. That is to say, you can't roll the play, at least the main actors can't do the play. The category of cameos is not counted, and the leading actor must not be able to make a play, otherwise he will be rejected by the entire Hollywood.

Therefore, you will not see big names like Tom Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis, etc., taking on two shows at the same time, this is a law of survival in Hollywood, and whoever violates it will have to pay a price.

So, at a time like this, Pamore could only say sorry to Emmerich.

And as a courtesy, Pamore came over in person and said that it was also a face-saving gesture for Emmerich. Emmerich also seemed to understand such a problem, nodded and said, "Well, since that's the case, we will have a chance to cooperate again in the future." ”

After sending Pamol away, Emmerich came back and said: "Ye Ming, you have one less competitor, and Pamol is also a very potential actor, otherwise it would be impossible to be selected." Now it's time to see the performance of the ruffian Eminem. You're going to compete for a chance like this. ”

At this time, a very firm voice sounded and said: "You don't have to choose, this role is decided to be Ye Mingcheng, Eminem, God knows what impact he will have on our movie, let's let him sing honestly, right?"

At Twentieth Century Fox, it is rare for someone to speak in such a tone.

But when Emmerich saw the visitor, he immediately shut up, this person was more vocal than the company's CEO, Dile.

Ye Ming stood up, hugged the comer, and then punched him and said, "James, I thought you were your boss in Hong Kong City, but I didn't expect you to return to the United States, when did you come back." ”

The person who came was Murdoch's second son, James, the successor of the future News Corporation. is also the guy in the Murdoch family who has the best relationship with Ye Ming.

Even said that James went to Hong Kong City for such a thing as Ye Ming's fooling. Of course, now it seems that even James himself feels that he has indeed exercised himself by going to Hong Kong City.

At this moment, James said in high spirits: "I also came back recently, I was recruited by my father, and I have important things to do." The day after tomorrow, I will be in charge of the operation of this movie. This was news for me, and my dad would see if I had what it took to stand alone in Hollywood. ”

The heir of the future News Corporation, if even Hollywood can't conquer it, then don't inherit the News Corp for such a thing. This is also a test for Murdoch's own son. Ye Ming naturally said that he knew what the test meant by saying this.

He smiled and said, "James, congratulations." It seems that your father is seeing your efforts, so you have to take advantage of this opportunity at this time. ”

James shrugged his shoulders and said, "Not only did my father give me the opportunity, but he also brought Elizabeth back to take charge of another Twentieth Century Fox movie, "I.Robot." In fact, it depends on who is more capable between me and my sister. ”

This is a household matter of the Murdoch family, and it is difficult for others to say anything, and even Emmerich does not want to listen to this matter at all. Immortals fight, and mortals are harmed. The inheritance of billionaires' family assets is always a very bloody thing.

Lachlan, the eldest of the Murdoch family, was completely abandoned, so Elizabeth, the daughter, also felt that she had a childish idea of competing for the heir. But the little girl never thought that she was just a whetstone for her second brother James.

But Elizabeth doesn't think so, this time she is hosting and running this movie, which is planned to be starring Will Smith, is a big sci-fi production.

Elizabeth was ambitious at the moment. Thinking that he can defeat his second brother in this confrontation, if he can beat his second brother James, the eldest brother Lachlan will also be directly knocked out, and the remaining one who hopes to inherit News Corp is her Elizabeth.

Although she herself thinks that this is unlikely, her father is unlikely to hand over News Corp to herself without convulsions. But if you don't have any ambition in such a thing, you will have such a big family property for your second brother. Elizabeth was not very willing.

And James is actually quite helpless, he is dealing with his own sister, which he is very unpleasant.

But Elizabeth's ambitions were too great. She didn't want to divide the family property, but wanted to put News Corp in one place. All possessed.

Even if Lachlan is the big brother, it's just that he wants to share more. Therefore, no matter what James says, he will not just let go of such an opportunity.

Ye Ming patted him on the shoulder and said, "It's actually [My Robot], or starring Will Smith, such a project." You have to be careful. The price of Will Smith is 20 million, and his salary is enough for all the actors we have the day after tomorrow. ”

A member of Hollywood's 2,000-film box office club. was affectionately known as Emperor Shi by Huaxia fans, and he was the guy. It can be seen how huge this guy's influence in the entertainment industry is.

James complained a little, "yes, I'm just a little weird about that. Amy in Colombia is also a very big fan of big stars, and my sister Elizabeth is also like this, and it seems that women like big stars the same. Otherwise, we will find A-list stars to perform the day after tomorrow, or not?"

Competing with his sister, if it is said to lose, it is really faceless, therefore, on such a problem, James is more cautious. At this moment, Emmerich said as if he had suddenly thought of something: "By the way, I have an idea, go adjust the script, you can talk." ”

The things James said are no longer the affairs of the crew, but some secrets in the entertainment industry, and even the housework of the tyrant Murdoch, the boss of News Corporation. Listen to who James complains about, Columbia's Amy, the only Columbia Pictures person who can be complained about by James is the boss of Columbia Films, Amy Pascal, the queen of Columbia Cinema, one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.

In fact, the less you know about this kind of thing, the better, if you can say that you can not know, then Emmerich will be safer. Therefore, thinking of James's continued complaints, he said from time to time that he would reveal some secrets, so in such a situation, he thought of an excuse to leave directly.

Ye Ming can listen to this kind of thing and participate in discussions, it is because Ye Ming has this capital and ability. The president of Brilliant Network is enough to be on an equal footing with James.

Moreover, Ye Ming and Soros are partners, but it is said that Murdoch also praises Ye Ming very much, and praises Ye Ming from various occasions. It is said that James, the second prince, went to Hong Kong City, and it was all instigated by Ye Ming, of course, James obviously made the right move.

Now James has built the port city side like an iron bucket, and even in such a situation, James stretched his hand through the port city to the British side.

This is very much in line with News Corp.'s efforts to grow its European business. These are all promoted by Ye Ming's guy behind the scenes. However, Emmerich did not believe that his participation in this would lead to good fruit, and perhaps it was not impossible that it would be destroyed outright.

James didn't care about what Emmerich was doing, what he wanted was for Ye Ming to give an answer. After all, going away from Hong Kong City has fully demonstrated that Ye Ming is still quite far-sighted in terms of strategy.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "I don't think there is a need for such a thing, as long as you do your best, our two movies have different styles, therefore, if you say that you can distinguish the winners and losers, one is to see the method of shooting the movie, and the other is to see how the movie works, the star is one aspect, but it is not necessarily necessary to invite the people of the 20 million club, she invited Will Smith, do we have to invite Tom Cruise over?"

Not necessarily, sometimes, how good your own thing is. Both of these are good movies. The key is to see how we work these two films. ”

The cost of these two movies is 120 million, and the box office is 540 million. And [My Robot] costs 100.5 million, and the box office is 340 million.

Judging from the box office, it is still the dominant advantage of the day after tomorrow, so the replacement now will not necessarily cause any changes, Ye Ming will naturally not agree to a direct substitution. After the substitution, the box office is not necessarily higher than the original. (To be continued.) )
