Chapter 934: Spielberg's Thoughts
Tom Cruise saw that Spielberg seemed to have some opinions about Ye Ming, so he smiled and said: "Director, you seem to have some opinions about Ye Ming, so why did you choose him, I think if you go to Hollywood to find any star to play this role, no one will refuse." ”
Spielberg thought for a while and said helplessly: "I hate him a little, and that's because he is a young man, a young man with strength."
Once a young person is strong, it is inevitable that he will have a proud mentality, and I don't like this kind of person very much. But there is no way, everyone is a company, although this kid once rejected me, but now we are a brokerage company, both William Morris brokerage companies, some things I still have to compromise the following. ”
Although Spielberg is already at the top of Hollywood, he also has to abide by the rules of the game. And one of the rules of the game in Hollywood is that the characters in the movie should take more care of their own company stars.
If it is said that the company really can't find it, it's not too late to find the outside. It just so happens that Ye Ming is more suitable for a role like [Minority Report].
As the second person in the crew, it is obvious that Tom Cruise still has a lot of say in such a situation, and at this moment he said with a smile: "If the director is willing, he can arrange to do a rival scene with me, and I will tell him what kind of acting skills are called top stars in Hollywood." ”
Teach Ye Ming a lesson, that's just a momentary game idea for Cruise.
Whether the lesson teaches Ye Ming or not, it depends on his mood or director Spielberg's opinion.
Spielberg thought for a while, and said helplessly: "I think this matter is better to think about it in the long run, right? After all, it is a person from a company, and the First International sent you out, and he was somewhat bullied. Admittedly, I've seen his acting skills, and it has to be good, no, but style fusion is a big problem. The style of the performance blends will be the key to the success or failure of the film. If Ye Ming can do this, then it will be considered good. ”
The crew resumed filming, and Spielberg once again entered a state of selfless work. For the crew, sometimes it may be a nightmare.
Once Spielberg enters the state of selfless shooting, it may be a few days without sleep. The working methods of geniuses are sometimes different from others.
And in such a tense atmosphere. The crew is still able to proceed in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that Spielberg's control of the entire crew is very powerful.
And old Andre got out of the car with a smile and asked people to arrange their luggage to the hotel, which was given by the crew, three-star level, it couldn't be too advanced, filming is not a tour.
Five-star hotels in Hollywood are not absent, but according to Ye Ming's status in Hollywood, he is not qualified to live in a five-star hotel in Hollywood.
Don't look at Ye Ming as an emperor superstar in the Asia-Pacific region. But when it comes to Hollywood, Hollywood people know that Ye Ming's role is because of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Therefore, Ye Ming is in Hollywood, and to be honest, everything is difficult at the beginning. Ye Ming also didn't take this kind of differential treatment to heart. Tom Cruise can have a five-star hotel, which does not mean that the crew has this treatment.
This guy is a member of Hollywood's 20 million salary club, so it makes perfect sense for him to live in a five-star hotel. Old Andre asked the hotel attendant to arrange Ye Ming's luggage to the room, and then quickly took Ye Ming to the crew.
Old Andrei was very familiar. Because he knew that the director had already started working at this time, and he arrived early. That might be able to help. The crew is now busy, and seeing this situation, old Andre greeted a staff member.
Then he rushed directly to the crew. Old Andre is worthy of being a veteran drama manager, and he solved some of the crew's affairs in less than half an hour after he went back.
Make an exception, old Andre has such a strong courage. Don't be afraid to offend people.
Of course, if it is said that according to Spielberg's idea, let Ye Ming wait first. In fact, what Ma Su saw was the pride of the crew. It seems that only Old Andre has nothing to do with Ye Ming.
Whether it is the other crew or actors, they don't actually have much respect for Ye Ming.
I don't know if Hollywood won't cooperate with Chinese people lightly. It's a different attempt. Seeing this situation, Ma Su said: "Boss, this is too bullying, boss, where you go is not a good treatment, in Hollywood, you were actually taught a lesson by a crew." What are those reporters going to say when it gets out?"
Xu Zheng also said a little helplessly: "Director, if you continue like this, the crew will isolate you as a whole, is this looking down on us?"
These two are a hundred unhappy in their hearts.
And Li Yapeng, this person is honest, he is a very good porter, he knows that he is here to learn, so he does not express his opinion on the changes in things outside.
Ye Ming waved his hand with a smile and said, "Be quiet, everyone should be quiet, let's just wait." In Hollywood, you want to get ahead, there are highlights and finally love, one is acting, the other is backing, although acting is filmed in the first place, but in this and like a situation, you must first show your value, so that others will look up to you.
At such a time, the misunderstanding of Westerners about Chinese people may not be this crew.
I think that's basically what Hollywood looks like. "Ye Ming's view of Hollywood is very correct, and this is indeed a very good result.
Indeed, there are actually dozens of movies being shot in Hollywood every year. But basically every crew will discriminate against Orientals.
This is something that Ye Ming had no way to predict, and Ye Ming was also the one who could have a way to completely change it directly.
Acting skills, strength, and strong acting skills are the real strong kings. And the background of strength and Ye Ming's treatment are also directly linked.
This time, no one paid attention to Ye Ming, whether Spielberg did it on purpose or not. But we finally got a new touch.
At this time, Li Yapeng just couldn't see it.
The atmosphere in this crew is very tense, and Ye Ming seems to be a superfluous person here, and even said that no one proposed to put makeup on Ye Ming. I don't know if this is an intentional lesson for Ye Ming.
But Ye Ming seems to be as stable as Mount Tai, although Ma Su and Xu Zheng are sworn to Ye Ming. However, they are just talking, and there is no good solution to the problem at all.
Fusion, not only in acting, the first thing Asians have to do when they go to Hollywood to shoot movies is the integration of acting skills. Even the habits have to be integrated, otherwise, that Asian seems to have some risk of being isolated in the crew.
And Ye Ming actually encountered such a thing, and the atmosphere of the crew seemed even more weird.
The whole crew looked very nervous. Because Spielberg entered a state of selfless work this time, if he gave an order, the entire crew followed, this is the only center of the crew, even Tom Cruise, he didn't dare to provoke Spielberg at this time.
But after Ye Ming came in, another center was formed in the crew.
In fact, according to Ye Ming's fame in the entertainment industry, he has no such treatment in Hollywood. And the only explanation is that it is on such a problem. Because Spielberg attaches great importance to Ye Ming, the crew subconsciously thinks that since the director attaches importance to Ye Ming, then in such a situation, he also has to pay attention to Ye Ming.
At least before Ye Ming really decided whether to stay in the crew or not, everyone's unhappiness didn't dare to be taken lightly. You can be indifferent to Ye Ming, but don't provoke Ye Ming. Therefore, in the crew is now two loyalists.
After a set of shots, it is obvious that Liangtang is a very good, Spielberg so picky person. The envoy nodded, indicating that the set of shots had passed. At this time, old Andre also immediately reported what he had done.
Ye Ming has already taken it, which naturally means that the director wants to see Ye Ming first, how to arrange Ye Ming, this is the director's decision.
Moreover, old Andre also hoped that Spielberg would not really pay attention to it.
However, in fact, in such a situation, Spielberg waved his hand and said: "I know, old Andre, let this matter go for a while, we will continue today's shooting." ”
Because he has a good relationship with Spielberg, it was at this time that old Andre had the courage to stand up and say: "Director, I think it's better for you to meet Ye Ming on such a thing, I always feel that this person is a little special, and it is a little different from those oriental actors I have seen?"
Spielberg was not angry, but looked at old Andre curiously and said: "You have always disliked interceding with other actors, but today is an exception." Tell me what you think?"
Old Andrei thought for a while and said, "I don't dare to say what I think, I just say it's my own feelings."
I don't see one or two Oriental actors, usually after they go to Hollywood, they are always very cautious, for fear of offending someone, or breaking some rules.
This is the usual style of the Orientals. But Ye Ming is different, Ye Ming came to Hollywood, it seems to be as easy as returning to his own home, I talked to him in the car, and even said that he was arranged in a three-star hotel, I couldn't see any fluctuations in his love.
A young man actually has such a pampered and unfazed mentality, at least this is something that few other actors in the East have. So even if it's for this reason, I think it's better for the director to find a chance to meet Ye Ming. ”
Old Andre's evaluation of Ye Ming is very high, even some Hollywood actors, when they come to the crew directed by Spielberg, they may not be able to express Ye Ming's relaxed expression.
Therefore, at this time, he also solemnly recommended Ye Ming.
Spielberg said with a smile: "Let's wait and see this matter, Ye Ming is really not an ordinary person, and his ability to make such achievements has a lot to do with his character."
If we meet him right away, it will be difficult to manage the crew in the future. Therefore, at this time, we need to ask him to wait and wipe off his temper. In this way, it will be easier for everyone to cooperate in the future. We can't let Ye Ming know that we value him,"
This is also Spielberg's thoughtful, although it is said that Ye Ming will participate in the shooting, but there is a bit of Spielberg's original intention in this, which is difficult to say.
Just talking about the integration of acting skills that Spielberg talked about is not like welcoming Ye Ming to the crew. The so-called fusion of acting, which is a technical term in terms of film.
And to explain this term, the first thing to talk about is the cultural differences between the East and the West. Since it is said that the cultural differences between the East and the West are very large, then in such a situation, the differences between the performances of people from the East and the West will also be very large, which can be distinguished very easily by both big directors, those fledgling directors, and even some senior audiences.
The general difference between the Eastern and Western actors in the style of the table xiàn is relatively large. How can that make up for such a difference? This is the problem of performance integration.
To be able to achieve performance integration means to integrate the style of your acting skills into the style of Hollywood actors.
If you can do this, then you can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, if you can't do this, then it is impossible to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood in the future, which is another big barrier after the actor's language.
Therefore, Spielberg said that if Ye Ming said that he couldn't do this, then he would directly let him roll up and go home.
This is not to say that Spielberg is overbearing, but that in such a situation, Spielberg is responsible for the entire film. He would not allow an actor with a different acting style than the whole movie to appear in the camera.
This is especially important for some large systems. Because it is a large production, the investment is large, and the risk is large, so it is not allowed to have any human mistakes to affect the quality of the movie. (To be continued......)
