The years are silent, quietly dyeing the memories outside the window with a layer of autumn frost, white as snow. Time flies, slowly coating the bluestone on the steps with a layer of moss. Remembering this thing is very strange, in fact, he can clearly remember a classic twenty years ago, but an ordinary fragment twenty days ago may be forgotten.

This is also why directors want to shoot classic movies, classics, real classics, classics that make people amazing. If it is said that a director can shoot a movie like this in his lifetime, it is also a matter worth showing off.

If it is said that this person can shoot a few classic movies, then well, this director will be worshiped as a master by everyone. Zhang Yimou is undoubtedly a true master of this kind of child, a carver of time.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Drama people will change, and each has its own ingenious differences. Don't worry, I won't shoot Thorn Qin in a cliché way, it's just a creative idea. Moreover, this big investment, it's not that I made it alone, now it's just a project just now, I'm selecting actors, Li Lianjie, Zhou Yanfa, Donnie Yen, these are all the objects we have chosen, Ye Zi, I think, in fact, you have a performance style like this, which is very suitable for the characters among the heroes, you can come and audition to see. ”

This is a very formal invitation.

Because of Ye Ming's fame, it is actually worth inviting Zhang Yimou.

Generally speaking, it is worth inviting Zhang Yimou personally, if it is not said that the style is very inappropriate, then in such a situation, in fact, this thing means that there must be a movie role that is suitable for this person.

Of course, Director Zhang Da didn't invite everyone personally. Tourmaline is said to have a strong influence, basically all actors of the level of the emperor superstar, and it is also necessary to fit the hero in terms of performance style, for example, Li Lianjie, is basically a candidate for male pig's feet, because at least it seems. Li Lianjie's image is very suitable for this movie and the positioning of Chinese people as heroes.

Of course, the wolf dog Dani starring Li Lianjie or something, the role of insulting Chinese people is more insulting, which was automatically ignored by Zhang Yimou and others.

Anyway, Cheng Long, who is also a superstar, is more suitable for Cheng Long with humorous comedy movies, but heroes, this is really not a good fit, and the performance style is not very suitable. Zhou Yanfa is okay. But whether it can be talked about or not, it's hard to say.

Therefore, in fact, if you are really invited by Zhang Yimou, then in such a situation, it actually means that at least one role in the movie is decided. Feng Xiaogang saw that Zhang Yimou had decided to shoot, and the actors were all choosing, so naturally he said that he would not say anything more.

Investors are not very worried, that is on such a problem. Feng Xiaogang naturally wouldn't worry about such a problem. So, at such a time. It was Ye Ming's turn to make a choice. In fact, on this issue, Ye Ming did not hesitate at all.

This movie is very special in the history of Chinese films. If it's about competing for the male number one, this may not be a good show, but at least the male number two should be no problem. Besides, Ye Ming also wants to shoot movies with top stars in China.

That's to say the least to feel what it's like to have a powerful atmosphere. Therefore. Ye Ming thought for a moment, and then said: "There is no problem with this, Director Zhang, you send me the lines you need for the audition first, and I will go to the audition when the time comes." ”

The audition naturally means that the lines are needed, generally speaking. It's a simple audition of a few lines in the movie, to see if an actor is suitable for this movie, it naturally means that you have to use the lines in this movie to really investigate whether a person is suitable for this movie's performance. Therefore, on such a question, Ye Ming's request is not too much at all.

And Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "This is done, I'll go back and ask people to send the lines to your company." When it's time to audition, I will inform you in advance, because the schedule of some stars is not easy to determine, and we need to coordinate, so you can understand this.

If you say that you have any requirements in terms of schedule, you can ask me for it, and I will consider it. ”

According to Ye Ming's identity and status, it is natural to explain it clearly, otherwise Ye Ming will stop playing, and this matter will be meaningless.

Zhang Yimou actually hopes to use Ye Ming's fame to drive the development of the whole movie. Ye Ming not only said that he has a very high and powerful influence in China and the Asia-Pacific region, but also has considerable influence in the world.

Therefore, if Ye Ming can be pulled into his crew, it is a very interesting thing in such a matter, an investment of 100 million, although the actual investment will not be 100 million, but there should be 80 or 90 million.

Therefore, in the face of such a large investment, even if he is not an investor, Zhang Yimou also has very strong pressure at this time.

Therefore, at this time, the only thing Zhang Yimou can do is to find a big name and a big production at this time, which naturally means using a big name, only a real big name and a big scene can attract attention and attract the audience to the cinema.

Didn't Titanic just use the cost of horror and frenzied propaganda to create a classic box office myth in China?

Therefore, at such a time, in fact, Zhang Yimou also intends to do this. An investment of 100 million, if it is said to be a loss, when it looks like that, the result is something he can imagine.

He doesn't want to fail, so it means that when choosing actors, you need to have a lot of patience and sincerity. This Ye Ming is one of the key goals.

Although it is said that according to Ye Ming's age, at this time he played the male number one, maybe it was a little reluctant, but Li Lianjie had a certain degree of persuasion. However, this is a hot spot after all, and at such a time, it is also a success to be able to win over Ye Ming.

As for leaking the plot lines, Zhang Yimou never thought about it. Ye Ming would not do such a thing at all. Even if Ye Ming didn't succeed in the election, he wouldn't do such a thing. As for the audition, all the big names invited to this movie are bigwigs, so in terms of auditions, it means that we must do a good job of coordinating everyone's schedule.

Ye Ming didn't understand anything about this, anyway, he had a lot of time recently. Filming a variety show like Brother Run, in fact, at this time, only the two or three days of filming are relatively tense, and after the filming is completed, in fact, in such a situation, Ye Ming did say that there will be a lot of free time left.

But Ye Ming is free, but at this time, Zhang Yimou also wants to give Ye Ming face, if you say that there is something important, then bring it up in advance, and we will also consider it.

Therefore. At this moment, Ye Ming also said very indifferently: "There is no problem with this, what about me, there is nothing special, after filming variety shows, there is still plenty of time." However, to what extent does this problem of tax evasion in our entertainment industry affect it, does it mean that it will have a great impact on the entire entertainment industry? I think you still need to be on guard.

The crew has to take such a problem into account. The gun shot the first bird, at such a critical time. If you make a mistake that is important, it really shouldn't be. ”

Ye Ming has a very powerful ability, he can connect two things that don't seem to be very connected, and they can connect them in an instant. Originally, in such a situation, everyone was actually talking about the question of what kind of role it was, but he actually said that he could re-involve the problem of tax evasion.

Zhang Yimou laughed and said, "You kid can rest assured." I will focus on such a thing, in such a situation, I will find a professional accountant, and I will definitely figure out some things about the crew.

And sometimes I also focus on spot checks. On the contract, I have also indicated that it is after tax. This can be checked by the relevant departments. We are a professional crew, and we are the most invested crew, and the more this happens, the more I will not relax in terms of finances. ”

Of course, Zhang Yimou is actually very clear, at such a time, Ye Ming raised such a question, also for the good of his crew, an investment of 100 million, such an investment crew is a Tang monk meat.

If you want to take a bite on such a crew, it must not be one or two people, so at this time, many eyes watch the crew make mistakes, even if it is just the stage of creation, then you need to pay attention to this. On the whole, at a time like this, the meeting was relatively successful.

After eating, Feng Xiaogang stopped Ye Ming, and the two of them left in Feng Xiaogang's car.

At this time, in the car, Feng Xiaogang said with some worry: "Yezi, you tell me the truth, in fact, on such a question, do you have any worries, don't say no, I know your habits, I can already see that you are more worried about this movie." ”

The two of them are actually very familiar with Ye Ming's habitual actions, in fact, Ye Ming had a habit of banging on the table at that time, which was a very hidden habit, but at this time, it showed Ye Ming's worry about one thing.

At this moment, Ye Ming thought about it and said: "There are some worries, the investment of 100 million yuan is too big, I don't mean that I have doubts about Director Zhang's ability to control, in fact, he can control the crew with ease, but at such a time, some factors outside the crew are not something that Director Zhang can control." There are some things that the director said doesn't count, and even said that what the producer said doesn't count, I think Director Feng should be very clear about this, right?"

Naturally, as a director, especially a director of a successful commercial film, he has encountered such a problem not once, almost saying that except for the first time Party A and Party B are public investment, the rest of the films are basically said to have some foreign investment. Therefore, on such a question, Feng Xiaogang is very understanding.

And in this case, 100 million, how many outside images will Zhang Yimou encounter?

This Feng Xiaogang pondered for a while and said: "It's really different, at this time, Director Zhang has to bear double pressure, if it is said that at this time, Li Lianjie is chosen, then this matter is full, he may be saying that he has to bear the pressure of being an actor." ”

Zhang Yimou is an international director, and he is quite influential in China, there is no doubt about this, but Li Lianjie is also an international superstar, at least in Hollywood, he also has a certain influence, which is a very important reason why Zhang Yimou chose Li Lianjie.

But in the same way, at this time, whether Zhang Yimou can control Li Lianjie to shoot movies well in this matter is not clear to anyone, and it is difficult to say what kind of sparks a big director meets an international superstar.

Ye Ming looked at the sky in the distance and said: "This movie will definitely be filmed successfully under strong pressure in the end, not only Zhang Yimou and Li Lianjie, in fact, there is no problem for the two of them to have conflicts, because this is a movie that the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television needs, and the above makes you need a blockbuster to set a benchmark, a benchmark for Chinese films, and create a Chinese blockbuster era."

Therefore, even if this movie says that the director and the actors have a conflict, it will definitely be suppressed by the people above. The Directorate General does not want any element of disharmony. The General Directorate needs to have an uplifting movie, and the hero is such a movie.

But Director Feng, you know, if we make a good movie, then in such a situation, do we say that we can shoot it in this mode? ”

This thing is naturally negative, a director needs a free creative space, even if it is relative freedom, it is also needed, once it is said that the director and the actor are contradictory, but for the sake of the overall situation, the contradiction between the director and the actor will also be suppressed, but this will limit the play of a director.

So, what would happen in such a situation, that is, it was really hard to say. However, after thinking about these things, Ye Ming said after thinking about them: "Forget it, this is not something I can worry about, that's what the third master and they have to do, I just have to be a good actor, as for how the hero will shoot, what's the matter?" )
