Chapter 1129 Life is like a play

Only by standing on a higher ground can you see the scenery farther away. Just as people who have not participated in the Oscars, it is impossible for the root to know what the Oscars are like for a powerful film event.

Emi Wada did not stand up because she was a senior in the entertainment industry, but said very politely: "I met Kitano-kun some time ago, Kitano-kun admires Ye San's acting skills very much, I hope that this time if we have the opportunity, we can have the opportunity to cooperate." ”

Kitano-kun is the new generation of Japanese film emperor Takeshi Kitano, a big man with international influence in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Ye Ming naturally wanted to respect his predecessors, and said very politely: "That's Mr. Kitano's politeness, I still have a lot of things to improve, Ms. Wada's works also make me yearn for it very much, and I really hope to have the opportunity to cooperate with you." ”

In this way, even if they know each other, as for whether they cooperate or not, it depends on whether Ye Ming has the ability to get this role this time.

Therefore, in such a situation, Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "This matter, I think, there will be a chance this time, let's sit down and talk." ”

Emi Wada said apologetically: "Director Zhang, I still have some things to do, so in the next time, you and Ye Sang will talk together, and tomorrow, I will go to collect information in this area and prepare for the costumes of the movie." If the actors are completely settled, then I will start working as soon as possible. ”

Only when the actor is decided, the costume can be made according to the actor's conditions, so this is a good time for Emi Wada to start the preliminary preparations.

Of course, Hetian Huimei did this, and she also gave the opportunity to Zhang Yimou and Ye Ming, she knew that these two were for the role. There must be some hidden things to talk about, and if you lose in such a situation, if you stay here, then there are some things they may not be able to discuss.

Therefore, at such a time, Emi Wada directly announced that she had something to leave, and she was also a figure on the stage. Zhang Yimou said politely. It was to send Emi Wada away.

When Lao Zhang came back, he saw Zhang Ziyi and Ye Ming talking. In the past, there was some unhappiness between Zhang Ziyi and Ye Ming, and Lao Zhang also turned a blind eye, but after all, this is also an unpleasant relationship, if it is said that the two sides cooperate, it is more embarrassing.

But this one. Zhang Yimou can also see that the relationship between Zhang Ziyi and Ye Ming has also begun to ease. No matter how you say it, this matter is a good thing for Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Ziyi saw Zhang Yimou coming, and immediately got up and said, "Director, I just rushed over, and I happened to meet Ye Ming, so we talked about a couple of words, what about the problem of running men just now?"

At this time, Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "Ye Ming will always bring us some surprises, this matter." It was a surprise to everyone. Still, Running Man is indeed a good ending. If you can participate, it's also a good choice. And if there is a chance, then our crew will not be able to run for a turn during the promotion. ”

Zhang Ziyi was extremely surprised in her heart, she knew very well what kind of character Zhang Yimou was. Since his debut, he has followed Zhang Yimou, so Zhang Yimou's requirements for himself are very sufficient. On such a question, even if you are filming a TV series. was rejected by Zhang Yimou, saying that he was filming a TV series and losing his identity.

But now, Zhang Yimou actually said that he would let himself participate in Ye Ming's running man, which is similar to the sun coming out of the west. Moreover, Zhang Yimou himself said just now, if it is said that there is a suitable opportunity, the promotion of the hero movie does not mean that you can't run a man.

This actually shows that Zhang Yimou is very fond of the running man, otherwise, he would never say such a thing. Therefore, Zhang Ziyi was very shocked and said: "Director Zhang, this still depends on whether Ye Ming invites me to go, if I receive an invitation, I can't ask for it." ”

This may sound like a joke, but it's actually a hint. Ye Ming immediately laughed and said, "Welcome, Director Zhang and Ziyi, I welcome any of you to go, your arrival will make our variety show shine." There is absolutely no problem with the invitation, and I am in a hurry to invite the two of you right now. ”

Regardless of whether Zhang Ziyi's request for the situation at this time, or Ye Ming's invitation, is it sincere, but at least on the surface, such a question is actually more suitable for easing the tension between the two sides.

Zhang Yimou also laughed and said: "That's a good feeling, let's start filming as soon as possible, and we will pass when there is a suitable opportunity." Now, let's talk about the movie, shall we?"

Ye Minglai naturally auditioned, and Zhang Ziyi naturally didn't need to audition, this is his own queen actor, an existence that is highly praised, therefore, at such a time, Zhang Ziyi is ironclad that will participate in the role of a hero, and she can be regarded as a person on her own side.

At this moment, the two sides sat down, Zhang Yimou took out a document and sent it over and said: "Ye Ming, this thing is the script I want to shoot, you can take a look and give an opinion." ”

Ye Mingke is not only a very powerful actor, but also a very accomplished writer, so it is not surprising that Zhang Yimou asked Ye Ming on the script.

Of course, that is also because everyone is friends, and Lao Zhang believes that even if Ye Ming reads his script, even if he doesn't get this role, he won't reveal the secret. In this circle, if you want to play for a long time, then some necessary rules still have to be followed.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou asked Ye Ming to read his script, and there was no psychological pressure at all.

On such a question, Ye Ming glanced twice, roughly understood the situation, and immediately closed the script and said, "Director Zhang, at this time." I also have to admire, your courage is not ordinary, you dare to shoot such a movie, are you not afraid of box office problems?"

The hero's story does make people feel a little familiar. And that's pretty much the case.

And at this moment, Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "You are not the first to say this thing. I don't hide this question from everyone, you can understand it at a glance, this is a good movie script, you said it is somewhat similar to Lao Chen's movie, right?

But, I think, it's a good subject. And, even if it's a problem from a business point of view, it's a very good movie script when it's like this. ”

Lao Zhang's own selection of the script is naturally quite good, but at this time, Ye Ming didn't agree with such a thing, and he didn't think about it and said: "I know what Director Zhang said, but it's a problem like this." After all, there is an example of a movie like [Jing Ke Assassinating King Qin] in the front, and you have to re-engage in such a question, whether you are sure of market acceptance. ”

The kind of box office tragedy of Brother Chen Kai's [Jing Ke Assassinating King Qin] has actually become famous all over the world and has become everyone's negative teaching material. And in such a situation, Zhang Yimou suddenly proposed to shoot this similar movie, which is somewhat of a bit of a pick-up.

It seems that Zhang Yimou has long known that Ye Ming will have such an answer. Haha laughed and said, "The story is a story, but the content inside is already completely new.

Therefore. On such a thing, I am still relatively sure, you can rest assured, this is not the final draft, and some places still need to be legged. You can see the similarities with Lao Chen, I don't know. Lao Chen, this guy is still in pain, and he is not embarrassed to ask others for his final reward.

But I've been planning for this for a long time and doing a lot of market research, so there should be no problem. And. We're going to release this movie with some power. It's a propositional essay, I said, you get it, right?"

Ye Ming naturally knew this, but he had to pretend not to know, after all, he couldn't say that I had traveled through time, and he had already known this. Instead, he must show a shocked expression, otherwise Zhang Yimou will be suspicious.

After all, this script was born from Thorn Qin, no matter how it changes, it is indeed born from Thorn Qin, and the story of Thorn Qin, with Chen Kaige's [Jing Ke Assassin Qin King] This distressing street shop movie, who has the courage to continue to use a similar script, will definitely be doubted.

Life is like a drama, it all depends on acting skills, and Ye Ming is very unlucky to understand this. Therefore, on such a question, Ye Ming also really showed his incredible performance.

And Zhang Yimou was really fooled, and directly stated his plan, and said that this was a proposition composition.

At this time, Ye Ming said with a look of sudden realization: "Proposition composition, no wonder, the last time I held a meeting at the General Bureau, the leader mentioned it once, and this time, there should be a real big move." ”

Zhang Yimou nodded very affirmatively and said: "What you said is not wrong, domestic movies must have a benchmark movie, although I myself am also a little drumming for such a thing, but after all, it is said above, I naturally have to go all out to do this thing, fortunately, with the support from above, I think there is no possibility of losing money in this movie." ”

This is natural, named by the General Administration, which theater chain dares not to give face. Therefore, Ye Ming, who is also half of the system, nodded and said: "I see, then this word, the actor is easy to choose, anyway, it is a sure profit, Director Zhang is afraid that there are a lot of people looking for you in the past two days, right?"

This is the first blockbuster in Huaxia, and it is a proposition essay, Ye Ming is very clear about what this thing is talking about, and people in the entertainment industry are naturally very clear, if it is said that there is a chance to show his face in a movie like Zhang Yimou, then such a thing is worth extraordinary.

I participated in the first blockbuster film in China, and it should be more reasonable to be paid or something in the future. Therefore, many people will find connections and want to send their actors to the crew.

Zhang Yimou didn't hide anything, but nodded and said: "Yes, a lot of people have been looking for me recently, and there are so many roles, but there are a lot of people, and it's not too much at all."

However, some characters can take care of the relationship, but some roles are impossible to take care of the relationship, such as the leading role, which must have strong strength.

Especially when it comes to the actor, Ye Ming, you should have heard of this matter, you, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Yanfa are all more suitable for this role. Among them, you and Li Lianjie are in line with our movie, do you have the confidence to compete with Li Lianjie?"

Let Ye Ming come, naturally it means that Zhang Yimou is also very optimistic about Ye Ming, and he wants to communicate with Ye Ming in advance.

Ye Ming nodded, he couldn't see that he was happy or unhappy, anyway, he said with a kind expression: "This problem, Director Zhang, you can't be the master yourself?"

A not very strong director may not have much right in choosing actors, but such a director does not include Zhang Yimou, after all, he is a national teacher, the most powerful director in Huaxia, saying that he himself is not very good and can have the right to set actors, and others don't believe it when he says it.

Zhang Yimou said with some regret: "This time it's really right for you, this time the investment is more complicated, therefore, my own opinion is very important in the selection of actors, but what kind of person is going to be determined, this also depends on the result of everyone's discussion, not me alone."

Therefore, a problem like the protagonist is not determined by me, and it must be agreed by everyone. Of course. I believe that Ye Ming, you have such the strength to fight for this role. ”

Zhang Yimou also understands very clearly what he said, the investor is naturally not a person who invests in a huge movie, so on such a problem, Zhang Yimou is naturally not the final say in the matter of the role.

This is still because of Zhang Yimou's status in the rivers and lakes, if not, then in such a matter, it is estimated that Zhang Yimou may become a puppet director in the end.

Ye Ming nodded, and said with certainty: "Director Zhang, don't worry, since I'm here, I have to try it anyway in such a situation, it's not just an audition, it's not the first time I've done it, and I also miss some memories of acting with people." (To be continued.) )
