Chapter 1005 Ice and Fire

Disney's style of doing things is too authoritarian.

Eisner's guy also relied on Disney's status in cartoons not to take Hollywood seriously, so at this time, in fact, people in the entertainment industry don't mind watching Disney's jokes, Pearl Harbor lost a lot, this is a certainty.

And to belittle Disney, this is what many reporters and film critics want to see, how to better belittle Disney, only to bring out an opponent, and Ye Ming's [Slumdog Millionaire] is the best choice.

Beforehand, Eisner looked down on Ye Ming at all, and clamored to teach Ye Ming a good lesson, but ended up in the current situation, and Pearl Harbor lost in a mess. No one mentions Pearl Harbor at the box office anymore, and in terms of artistry, Pearl Harbor has not become a classic, Michael Bay wants to make a classic, but in fact it proves that his directing skills still need to be improved.

Therefore, in such a situation, even if it is to belittle Pearl Harbor, everyone will praise Ye Ming's [Millionaire in the Slums], not to mention, Ye Ming's movie does bring a unique perspective to everyone.

The myth of getting rich overnight has been very popular from ancient times to the present.

What's more, Ye Ming used this kind of movie that can obviously be filmed as a comedy, but he said that he filmed a tragedy. As a result, Ye Ming's film grossed $140 million in the United States, while Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon grossed $180 million in the United States and $222 million worldwide. But the outright price of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is kept secret, and the final estimate of the price by industry insiders is more than $10 million.

It will not exceed 20 million, and some people even say that the film's 6 million US dollars was sold out of overseas rights by Columbia Pictures, which is not known and is a trade secret. Anyway, the director of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon doesn't have any money to make, that's a certainty.

However, Ye Ming's film is different. Ye Ming's movie, 140 million US dollars, 20 million is for Time Warner, after all, Time Warner is also a shareholder, which is what Time Warner deserves.

If it weren't for Time Warner's help, the movie wouldn't have been released so smoothly in the United States.

Another 20 million is the cost of the film's distribution. And Ye Ming's income is 100 million US dollars, and this movie alone has made Ye Ming earn a lot of money.

Ye Ming's company is also registered in the Cayman Islands, so there is no need to pay huge taxes and fees.

This made the U.S. government very unhappy, so it increased the monopoly prosecution of Ye Ming's brilliant network, and this lawsuit was fought. And [Slumdog Millionaire] finally had a domestic box office of 190 million, which is also quite good in China.

After all, the investment in this movie is only 30 million.

Even at the domestic box office. Ye Ming also has a share of sixty or seventy million, which is also a lot of money.

And when Ye Ming returned from overseas, more than 300 reporters surrounded Ye Ming at the airport, everyone knew that Ye Ming's movie made a lot of money, 100 million US dollars, 100 million at the box office in the United States, and 128 million at the global box office. This number has never appeared again. That is to say, what everyone knows by now. Ye Ming is a billionaire.

Even if everyone knew that Ye Ming made money before, and knew that Ye Ming must be a billionaire, they didn't intuitively express how much money Ye made in the end. But this time, the reporters easily calculated that Ye Ming's film earned 120 million US dollars.

This number can only be described as thrilling, and there is no other adjective. Everyone surrounded Ye Ming and launched an impromptu interview. What Ye Ming really expresses is the expression of his inner world.

He hopes that there will be less begging of poor children, and the tragedy in the movie will not be repeated in real life. This is what Ye Ming is already asking for. As for the reporter's question, what will Ye Ming's next movie be, Ye Mingxiang said without thinking. is Zhou Xingxing's Shaolin football player.

This has already been agreed with Zhou Xingxing, so there is nothing that cannot be made public. This is more or less for Zhou Xingxing's publicity.

And next, Director Ouyang of Mango Terrace directly picked up Ye Ming. At this time, Director Ouyang also said very politely in the car: "Mr. Ye, I came to you this time in the hope that you can participate in the happy base camp of our TV station, this matter is something that fans are looking forward to, I hope you can think about it." ”

Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "I'm afraid it won't work, at this time, I will go to participate in the Olympic bid activities soon when I come back, and it is estimated that I may not have time to go to Mango Terrace." ”

Ye Ming is a busy man, everyone knows this, therefore, Ouyang Ledger is naturally prepared, he said very sincerely: "This is not a problem, I have already asked the two hosts to go to the capital, and I have temporarily found a studio, and I will record a special happy base camp here."

At such a time, it is to not delay your time. We packed the stage directly by train and transported it over. ”

Mango Terrace and Ye Ming have not cooperated for a day or two, so they still know Ye Ming very well, after all, in such a situation, they are very clear about what kind of person Ye Ming is, emotional, Ye Ming is a person who values feelings.

If it is said that he uses money to invite Ye Ming, is Ye Ming short of money? There is no shortage of money at all, therefore, if you have three or five hundred thousand yuan, you don't want to invite Ye Ming out of the mountain at all. But if it is to play the emotional card, then in such a situation, Ye Ming is indeed a person who is easier to speak.

Especially at this time, Mango Station also expressed great sincerity. You didn't say that there was no time, it was done, our host is here, and the stage is also shipped. I'm just waiting for you to come over, this is a vacancy.

However, this method is indeed useful, although it is said that Ye Ming's time is relatively tight, but in such a situation, Ouyang Ledger did a very good job, and directly hit Ye Ming's weakness.

Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming thought about it for a while, nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, if this is the case, I have time tonight." I can't guarantee the rest. Even if it's tonight, it's actually a time when I'm jet lag, and someone from the Olympic Bidding Committee will definitely come to me tomorrow, and when the time comes, Brother Cheng Long and I will have to promote this, and I guess there will be no time. ”

This paragraph must be a critical time to promote Beijing's bid for the Olympic Games, therefore. In such a situation, Ye Ming, as the ambassador of the Olympic bid, it is impossible for him to have other free time.

Director Ouyang patted his chest and said, "There is no problem, there is absolutely no problem with this matter, in such a matter, we have already built the stage ourselves, and the host is ready." Just waiting for you to come, and that is, in such a situation. You have a good line, when you want to go on stage, it's okay at any time, we have time there. ”

Since it was Ye Ming who agreed, then in such a situation, Director Ouyang naturally wanted to give Ye Ming full respect.

There is nothing to say about this matter at all. For the lines, Ye Ming is very familiar with such a thing. In fact, any movie, TV series. variety shows are all about lines. In movies and TV series, it is generally best to have your own co-actors for the lines.

Why is it that when an actor collaborates with another actor in a play, everyone has the potential to become good friends. It is not even impossible to say that it is impossible to get married in the end.

That's because everyone is familiar with each other's lines or something, which is very easy to get acquainted with. If not an opponent actor. Then your own agent or even an assistant is also a good choice.

In variety shows, generally speaking, the most correct thing for such a thing is actually the choreographer, not the director. is a choreographer, and variety shows often have a choreographer who is second only to the director's rights, and such a person is at the level of an assistant director, he is responsible for the lines, and the actor is good. Whether it is the host or not, there are editors who write the lines, and a specific choreographer and director will write the lines, which is in between.

This choreographer wants to find the breaking point in the middle of this line, if it is said that there are few breaking points, then this episode of the program is relatively poor, and the explosive point must be increased. As a person in the entertainment industry, Ye Ming is very familiar with such a thing. And when he arrived at the show, He Jiong came over with a notebook, a young handsome guy, and there is a big difference between him and the kind of big-name teacher who will be stable and mature in the future.

He Jiong smiled and said, "Mr. Ye, we are waiting for your arrival, let's take a look at the lines." ”

This line is generally not carried out by the host, because the host has his own job, and they are responsible for dealing with the possible problems of the whole show outside of the show.

But if it is said that there are big names, then at this time, if the host says that he wants to go out in person, this is not impossible. For example, this time it was the same.

Ye Ming came, and He Jiong himself came over to speak to the lines, which is a very special example. Therefore, in such a situation, it is also an expression of Mango Terrace's respect for Ye Ming.

He Jiong handed over a notebook and said: "Mr. Ye, this is the draft this time, of course, it is a rough draft, if there is any problem that you think is inappropriate, then we can delete it." ”

This is the right of the big names, and it is the kind of super big names, and only the big names at the level of the emperor superstar are eligible for this right. In the entire entertainment industry, there are only a handful of kings and queens who can have such a right.

But as long as you have it, it means that this artist in the entertainment industry is qualified to call the wind and rain.

Ye Ming happened to be such a person, and he really enjoyed such rights last year.

Since last year, if any variety show wants to invite Ye Ming on stage, the first thing is to ask Ye Ming if there are any taboos, such as topics that he is unwilling to talk about, and the host can't ask questions.

Ye Ming took a look, after all, he had cooperated with Mango Station for a long time, so he still knew himself very well, and the questions he asked were relatively sharp, but they did not exceed his bottom line.

Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming looked at it and said: "There are no other problems, but the problem of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I think, everyone is their own people, and Director Ang Lee and I are also more familiar, if you compare it, it is somewhat embarrassing."

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: I can tell you that the price of the film will not exceed 15 million US dollars, and it is a form of buying out the copyright, and the overseas copyright is Hollywood. I can't say anything else.

Ziyi's salary will not be as low as the outside world guesses, nor will it be as much as advertised, but it is indeed one of the best salaries among mainland actresses at that time.

Therefore, you know the answers to these two questions, so don't ask them in front of the TV. ”

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is the pride of the Chinese, Ye Ming also likes this movie very much, and he also suffered a lot during filming, so seeing that there is a problem with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Ye Ming directly banned it.

There are some things that can be asked casually, but there are some things that can't be asked casually.

On such a question, Ye Ming directly revealed some questions about Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in such a situation, and also expressed the gap between himself and the millionaires in the slums.

This gap means that the two movies are not comparable, and Ye Ming is not willing to use this issue to hype. expressed that he only promoted his own movie, and there was no need to offend others because of this.

He Jiong's understanding of the problem may be a little different, he thinks that at this time these problems can improve the ratings, in fact, these two problems can indeed improve the cleanup, but Ye Ming is unwilling to do this, there is no way, after all, Ye Ming is a big name and is the center of this show.

Therefore, the questions that Ye Ming didn't want to ask were just taken directly. He Jiong directly crossed out these two questions, saying that he would not ask questions in the show.

Ye Ming didn't continue to watch it at all, but nodded and said: "It's also very pleasant for me to cooperate with Mango Channel, and I don't need to watch the rest, basically, there is no problem, even if it is my girlfriend Chenxi, I have not shied away from this issue, let alone someone else's business; ”

Ye Ming has a girlfriend named Chen Xi, which many people know that Chen Xi of the Chen family is not afraid to ask questions about this personal issue, let alone what is difficult to say about other issues. (To be continued......)
