Chapter 1298: There's definitely something wrong with this
All the endings have been written, all the tears have begun. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info but the bracers forgot what kind of beginning, in which ancient did not come back to the summer.
This is a verse about youth, and about youth is not to regret it, no matter whether you succeed or fail, at least you are young, at least you have a chance to start over.
And Ye Ming actually put forward his own request without any scruples.
To make a top Hollywood filmmaker the right to choose actors, which only one kind of actor can do, Hollywood's top actors, standing in the 20 million salary club.
Unless it is this group of actors, the others have no right at all, which is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood.
And Ye Ming said such words, which made Cohen's face suddenly gloomy, the right to choose a role, this is generally the director's right, which as a director is the most taboo for others to interfere.
Alexander also hesitated and said: "I think the right to choose the role is better for the director, Cohen knows this movie is Fei very well, he has studied this script, and knows what kind of actor Cai can express the connotation of the role."
Therefore, the other investor did not interfere in the selection of actors, if you say that you meddled, is it not kind. ”
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Don't tell me this, the other investor should be Mr. Madoff, right?"
What kind of person is this actor, at this time, in fact, even Cohen doesn't know who it is, Alexander just said that someone invested, but who the investor was, he didn't say, but Ye Ming was able to point out at once what kind of person this person was.
This made Alexander very puzzled: "Mr. Ye, how do you know about this, it seems that you didn't know who this person was just now, why do you know now that this person must be Mr. Madoff?"
This makes Alexander feel very strange, this is a very secret thing around the world, and there are definitely no more than five people who know the truth.
It is precisely because Madoff has a very good relationship with Ye Ming that on such a problem, Madoff proposed to use the method of making movies to launder money, which made the boss of Universal have no way to refuse.
Ye Ming smiled and said: "Of course I didn't know it was Madoff at first, but you said this plan, I have heard of it, last time I attended a private banquet with James and my guy in Hollywood, there were many rich people in it, of course, there was Madoff this guy, we used to discuss such a problem together, saying that it was a sum of tens of millions, if it was to be left to his children, then what to do in the United States is the most appropriate, so that the US government collects the least taxes." ”
He is also quite beautiful in this hand, he is reluctant to interfere because he doesn't know movies, he knows that professional things should be handed over to professional people to do, so he doesn't care about the movie and only pays dividends, but I myself as an actor and a director have directed movies, and I am a person in the circle. Therefore, in such a situation, I should have my own standards, I know more about movies, and as my investment, I am responsible for my own investment. ”
This kind of explains why I care about the actors in the movie. And in a place like Hollywood, as a producer, choosing actors or something, this is a very normal situation. As a director, Cohen still said at the moment: "Mr. Ye, I think that as this director, I still know the script relatively well, so my choice of actors is more favorable to this movie." ”
Obviously, in Hollywood, there are some habits of producers choosing actors, but as a director, Cohen is still unwilling to give such a power to others.
Ye Ming immediately said: "This matter is very simple, if it is said that the missile is starring me, I will not ask for it to be done like this, but now that I invest, I must understand the state of the actor, and I am also responsible for my own money."
Of course, if it is said that the world can find other investments, I can do without this right at this time. As an actor, I don't easily interfere with the crew's affairs.
Of course, when I'm talking about actors, I'm talking about the three leading actors, and the other supporting roles, I don't mind if it's a god to play. Mr. Cohen, I can promise you that if the actors I choose can't fit into the crew after the start of filming, and the scenes that are filmed can't satisfy everyone, you, as the director, have the right to fire these actors and find someone again, and I will bear the loss. ”
This is Ye Ming's killer feature, if you say that you are willing to let me invest, you want to give me this right and let me choose actors. Of course, at this time, Ye Ming actually made a certain compromise, what he wanted was the right to choose the three leading actors.
And I also said that if everyone is not satisfied with the content of the shooting, you can directly find someone else, and I will bear the loss. This is already a very big concession.
Alexander saw that Ye Ming said this, and there was nothing to say about such a thing, he glanced at Cohen and said: "Cohen, I think, this kind of thing is not something that cannot be agreed, Ye Ming, as an actor and winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, is different from a financier like Madoff, and he still has a vision."
Therefore, I don't think that his right to do so will not hinder the crew much. ”
In fact, at this time, Alexander didn't say anything, but Cohen himself also understood it very well, that is, Alexander meant that you and I should get to know each other, after all, Ye Ming is a local tyrant, and everyone has said that if the content of the shooting is not satisfied, you can start again. You will never understand the world of local tyrants.
No one would be stupid to go against a local tyrant, this is definitely a stupid act, and Cohen naturally won't do such a stupid thing at this time. In fact, as a Hollywood director, no one is lacking in heart.
Therefore, at this time, Cohen also said very cheerfully: "Mr. Ye said so, then I have nothing to say." But as a director, I also have to participate in what kind of people I choose, although I don't have the right to decide, but I still have the right to suggest.
Otherwise, in such a matter, the director of a play doesn't even know his own actors, and he doesn't know what kind of person he is, and it will be a joke if it gets out. ”
The meaning is very clear, that is, at this time, I want to participate. This is actually to save face for yourself, after all, the director didn't participate in the selection of actors, and it was a shame to spread it.
Anyway, if you are really not satisfied with the effect of the shooting, you can just replace it directly, with Ye Tuhao's words, Cohen is very relieved, anyway, even if it is a replacement, then it will not cause any loss to himself at such a time, and he can still practice his hands?
If the matter comes to this part, then at this time things are relatively easy, after everyone has discussed, take out the contract, Ye Ming took a look, and read every word very seriously, this matter must be very careful, otherwise it will be Ye Ming who suffers.
However, after reading it, Ye Ming did not sign it immediately, but directly pushed it to Sister Fang Fang and said: "Let our lawyer take a look, and then pass it to my personal lawyer in the United States to take a look, Alexander, Mr. Cohen, it's not early, I'll invite everyone to lunch." ”
This time the discussion was not so easy, and it was already noon.
Signing the contract, there is no need to be so anxious, since it means that everyone has already discussed, it naturally means that there will not be much change, and at this time, Ye Ming also knows that there is nothing wrong with the contract, and he can't see that there is no mistake, but if it is said that a professional lawyer reads it, it may not be wrong at all.
Although it is said that finding a professional lawyer, the annual price is a little distressing, but Ye Ming thinks that these are worth it, if you are a star in the United States, especially a big star, if you don't have a good enough lawyer, it will be very troublesome, but if you have a good lawyer, it can basically guarantee that you will not make any big mistakes. At least legally.
After eating, it was lunch break, which Alexander and Cohen were a little unaccustomed to, but there was no way, Ye Ming insisted on taking a lunch break.
At this moment, George followed Ye Ming and said: "Ye, I don't understand, why are you not in a hurry at all, it's still lunch break, I don't know you have such a habit."
Or urge your lawyer to read it quickly. ”
Ye Ming said with a smile: "George, you don't understand this matter, go to the army to plot, do you understand."
Do you think that Universal is so kind in this matter that it will let me be the starring actor and let me invest, is it possible that Universal just can't find investors?
There are many people in Hollywood who are willing to cooperate with Universal, and there are many people who are willing to cooperate with Madoff, I guess there are also many people.
But why did they come to me?"
At this time, listening to Ye Ming's words, George was also a little dumbfounded at this time, to be honest, even if the Universal movie was for money laundering at this time, according to Hollywood's habits, it would not find a Chinese person as a supporting role. Therefore, at this time, Universal's move is indeed a bit special.
Asking Ye Ming to invest is one thing, but Hollywood is not short of people who invest, so it is a little impossible to find Ye Ming, just for money.
Listening to the meaning of Ye Ming's words, it seems that the world is coming to the door, but there are also some problems. Ye Ming immediately said: "The key is not the world, the key is another person, Madoff, do you know such a person?"
This person is a well-known rich man in the United States, and he is not an ordinary rich man, he is the kind of super-rich person, with a wide connection, a good reputation, and a financial genius, so there are quite a few people in the United States who like Madoff.
At this point, George still knows Madoff relatively well, nodded and said: "The original chairman of the NASDAQ, the current helmsman of the investment fund, in the American financial street, this is also quite a legendary person, known as the person who carried the banner of the NASDAQ by himself, it can be said that a large part of the current status of the NASDAQ is pulled up by Madoff." ”
This is not news at all in the United States, in fact, before the NASDAQ was Madoff as the handle, it was also a small deflated three, and not many people in the American financial market could afford it, but let Madoff be the handle, anyway, after Madoff's operation, now look at it, it is said to be a benchmark index in the world financial market, this should not be many people doubt, anyway, after the news broadcast the stock market, many of them have news from the NASDAQ.
Therefore, it can be said that when Lao Mai was on the NASDAQ, he should have been at the level of Song Jiang, bringing the NASDAQ to the position of the leader of the world financial market.
Ye Ming nodded and said: "Yes, such a person, friends are not blessed but expensive, why is it so difficult to find a partner to invest, this is a bit unrealistic, therefore, don't you think there is a problem in the middle of the problem?"
Ye Ming naturally felt that there was a problem, and after he knew that the other investor in this movie was Madoff, he felt that on such a problem, things were not so simple. If it is involved with Madoff, then there is definitely something wrong with this matter.
Therefore, Ye Ming has become so cautious, in fact, this contract, if Ye Ming does not know that Madoff is another investor, it is estimated that at this time he will call the lawyer to ask the result, and then sign the contract.
But now it's not such a simple thing, in this situation, George hesitated for a moment and said: "Otherwise, let's forget it, if you think Madoff has a problem, then we can not cooperate with them, but this is an opportunity for you, if you don't cooperate, you don't know when you want to get such a good opportunity to become the leading actor of Hollywood's top productions in the future." ”
This time the signing was successful, and the innovative commission is not to say, even George himself will take a lot of money, so he doesn't want to be on such a question. )
