Chapter 1171 Hollywood I'm Coming.
No matter how beautifully designed 50 RMB is, there is no 100 to be flattering.
This statement still fully illustrates a problem, that is, to say. How big the value of existence is, the more energy you exude at this time.
Everything is based on equivalence, everything is based on levels.
It's like saying that Na Ying and the princess and Ye Ming are good friends, even if they rarely see each other twice a year, they always have a warm conversation every time they meet.
Because the status of the two sides is very poor, the princess and Na Ying are both queens, and Ye Ming, no matter what, they are both king-level existences.
The status of both sides in the entertainment industry is about the same, so their common strength is the key to their ability to become friends.
Strength determines your status in the entertainment industry. is like Ye Ming, although he also does variety shows, he still ranks last in variety shows in the entertainment industry, but this is just his spare time.
Run, brother is more about taking care of the company's artists, so that the company's artists have a good platform. This time the Water Margin album in Cloud City, the ratings are not particularly dazzling, but it is already higher than the other episodes of the Running Brothers, but don't forget that Jackson is there this time, so the ratings cannot satisfy Ye Ming, and inviting foreign big stars may not be suitable for this show.
After careful consideration, he began to abandon his plan to invite some of his foreign celebrity acquaintances.
And it took the fastest speed to complete the filming of the remaining episodes of the program, and soon, in just ten days, the shooting of the running brothers was completed.
Even Sister Fang Fang said that Ye Ming was very desperate, and the tired Ye Ming stood at the door of the airport with his passport. At this moment, Sister Fang Fang said worriedly: "You really don't have to let me accompany you to Hollywood?"
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders, a little relaxed, as if he had unloaded a burden, and said: "This is really not necessary, Hollywood is actually like this, as long as you are familiar with the rules inside, there is no problem with the rest." I'm still familiar with Hollywood. It's that I don't worry about some things at home, and those people don't have anyone to restrain them, and it's really not possible.
Therefore, if you go with me, this company will be in chaos. You'd better stay and watch the house, and I'll try to come back as soon as possible, depending on the situation at the time, of course. ”
Ye Ming boarded the plane very easily, no reporter would have thought that Ye Ming would go so fast, and even said Run, brother The shooting is complete. At this time, many reporters are not very clear, but Ye Ming must go to Hollywood, because Emmerich has already called and asked Ye Ming to come over for an interview at the appointed time, this is an interview organized by Twentieth Century Fox. Emmerich even said on the phone that this interview may be the only one.
When the plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, Emmerich drove a Ford that looked to be at least twenty years old to pick up the plane. If you look at the side. Emmerich is somewhat similar to Schwarzenegger, of course. The governor's face is square, and Emmerich's is like a round face. Seeing Ye Ming coming over alone with luggage, Emmerich took off his sunglasses in surprise and said, "Dear Ye, don't tell me that you came alone, what about your assistant, what about your agent." Did they all abandon you?"
Ye Ming slapped Emmerich with a smile and said, "Don't talk nonsense, my company is a mess of things, and there is no one to reassure me to preside over it, but it can't be done, my agent is in the company to help me take care of the house." As for assistants, do you think my popularity in the United States has reached the point where there is a need for assistants?"
Seem. It seems that there is no possibility of such a situation, in such a situation, Emmerich said a little apologetically: "It's a pity, you have some news after the Oscars, Best Supporting Actor, at most let you enter the eyes of the mainstream media in Hollywood, you must know that the Best Supporting Actor, one a year, is not particularly rare in Hollywood, not to mention that you are an Asian."
Of course, this is a good stepping stone to let Hollywood know that there is an actor like you, but that's all, it really doesn't matter if you have an assistant or not, come on, I'll take you to enjoy the scenery of Hollywood, Beverly Hills is a Hollywood landmark. ”
Emmerich is a director who likes disaster movies very much, and the speed at which he drives seems to be disaster-level, anyway, it's normal to drag one hundred and twenty, which is definitely not something that a normal driver can do, you know, this is a twenty-year-old Ford car, if you drive a pie car, then it's not certain that Emmerich can really fly into the sky at such a time.
Ye Ming sat in the car and said: "Roland, I really feel sad for your Ford car, you have been showing off your Ford car to me on the phone for twenty years, according to your driving method, it doesn't take twenty years at all, and this car will go to God in two years." ”
Emmerich was very happy and said: "Man, what you said is right, this is one of the ways I find inspiration, it's cool, isn't it, actually, this Ford car only has the shell and skeleton or the original, and all the remaining parts have been changed seven or eight times, God, I love this feeling of drag racing, he will put me into a wonderful state of thought, and bring me closer to God and Satan." ”
Ye Ming complained, "I think it's closer to Satan, right?"
Emmerich didn't seem to take such a thing seriously at all, and said with a snort: "I don't care about this, God or Satan, anyway, as long as I have enough inspiration, it is a good way to do it on such a question." A lot of the ideas in my movies were come up with in a state of epoxy automatic. ”
Behind every master there will be a special habit, and as one of the top directors of disaster movies, it is normal for Emmerich to have some such a wash. But this kind of driving speed is really surprising. It's no different from looking for death.
Fortunately, Emmerich's driving skills are still quite good, and he himself perfectly shows how a drag racing master can drive his own car, almost flying at the same speed on the road.
At this moment, Ye Ming also really thought about what such a result would be, the edge of life and death is often the time when some inspiration erupts. At this time, Ye Ming also had to admit that Emmerich was sometimes a madman, and Roland Emmerich was indeed famous in Hollywood. His character, his works are all equally famous.
As he drove, Emmerich exclaimed, "This is America, a place where heaven and hell coexist." ”
From these words, it can be heard that in fact, Emmerich does have some opinions about the United States, of course, these can also be seen from his movies. This guy is a very crazy guy, a crazy genius.
Approaching Hollywood, there are more drag racing people. At this time, Emmerich can be regarded as reducing the speed of the car, of course, only by saying that it has been reduced a little, and it can be seen that he is still a person who can control himself.
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "Roland, I know why no one came with you to pick me up, it turned out that they were all scared away by you, if they said they could hold on from your car." Then you will be able to not be afraid of any difficulties in the world. ”
Emmerich was very upset and said, "Rumors, you know? This is a rumor." Forget man, let's eat something first, how about a hot dog, or fried chicken thighs?"
When you enter Hollywood, there is a place to sell food on the side of the road at this time, which is really a feature of Hollywood. The world's largest and most prosperous film and television city.
In this city, maybe if you meet a random person, you may be a big name at the film festival or something.
Maybe it's not impossible to meet a producer, director, or even a Hollywood A-lister or two. Therefore. Don't be too strange here.
Ye Ming was really a little hungry, the in-flight meal he ate on the plane, the in-flight meal in the United States had to be said to be quite stingy, not enough to eat at all, therefore, in such a situation, at this time, Ye Ming was the first to walk into the fast food restaurant and chose two hamburgers, a bucket of chicken legs, and two cokes.
Of course, when Ye Ming was about to pay, Emmerich directly took out his credit card and sent it over, it seemed that this guy and the clerk were very familiar, he picked up a chicken wing and said while eating: "Old John, has there been any news in Hollywood recently, let's hear it." ”
Old John said while frying chicken wings: "If the day after tomorrow likes to fight in the nest, then the latest news is that the director of the day after tomorrow invited an Asian to audition." And the point is, it seems that Warner Bros. is also interested in this person, and Columbus is already waiting for you upstairs early.
The director of Harry Potter and the director of the day after tomorrow are gathered together, I wonder if this is news?"
Emmerich was stunned for a moment, he stood there motionless, and only shouted loudly for a long time: "Old John is familiar, and I will sue you for slander if you spread rumors." ”
Old John seemed to not care at all and said, "Do you still need me to suffer with all your? Columbus knows more than you know." ”
The diversion was successful, and Emmerich immediately said, "Columbus, that bastard? Old John, you're not joking, are you?"
At this time, Columbus came down from the upper floor and said, "Roland, I knew that you guy would come to Old John, and sure enough, I guessed it." You Ye, hello, I haven't seen you for a while. I heard that you are playing variety shows in Huaxia, and you are still playing quite well. Even Jackson was invited, you had a really fun time. ”
Columbus, the director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Ye Ming are also acquaintances, but they can only be said to be acquaintances. You must know that the relationship between Time Warner and Ye Ming is not very good, if it is not necessary, then Columbus will not take the initiative to contact Ye Ming at this time. On such a question, Ye Ming is very confident, and now that Columbus is trying his best to wait for him here, there must be some tricky things.
Emmerich didn't want to deal with this guy at all, but introduced: "Ye, Old John, is the predecessor of our industry, and the director behind Lucas's Star Wars is Old John, and he has a very strong relationship with many Hollywood star directors. ”
This is a master of the Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger, and you really can't despise others in Hollywood, after all, it means that you really don't know how you find out if a person has a huge background behind in the same situation.
Ye Ming didn't snub Columbus, but smiled and said, "Thank you, Columbus, you came here, I want to think about it, it's not your own willingness, right?" This is definitely not Columbus willing to come by himself, it must be Warner Company who forced Columbus to come. After all, Columbus is not only the director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but also a good friend of producer David Heman.
It is said that Warner Bros. wanted to change people to be directors, but in the end David Hayman spoke, and Columbus was able to stay and continue to direct Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
In fact, no matter what he said, Columbus was a little embarrassed, and he himself was indeed a little reluctant to come, unwilling to face Ye Ming. At first, his relationship with Ye Ming was quite good, but later Ye Ming and Warner fell out, and Columbus was not a person inside and out, so he deliberately alienated Ye Ming.
The result of this is that in such a situation, at this time, he chose Time Warner himself, which was a wise choice.
But in Ye Ming's opinion, Columbus is a betrayal, even if it was the premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone or something, he didn't invite Ye Ming over, this is a deliberate alienation of Ye Ming. Warner is also willing to do something like this. It would be somewhat embarrassing to meet Ye Ming again at this time.
At this moment, Columbus said embarrassedly: "What about this matter, in fact, I am also very helpless, and there are some problems, you are also very clear, and I am not a director who can control them." Don't say it's me, even if it's my partner David Heman, there is actually no way to do anything like this. Therefore, on such a question, I can only express regret.
And this time, I actually want to talk to you about a matter like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and there are some problems that you need to solve in person.
Of course, this is a private contact of mine, and the specific thing is that you and Warner go to talk. I'm just a lobbyist, yes, in Huaxia's terms. ”
Lobbyist, it's rare that Columbus would know such a term, so it can be seen that he also did his homework when he came. (To be continued.) )
