Ye Ming pondered for a moment, and seemed to be a little hesitant, and he wanted to stop talking. Kadokawa Liyan immediately understood what was going on, and immediately said: "Director Ye, don't worry, I will never let you do this in vain, in this way, you help edit it first, the ten-minute clip, once it passes the appraisal, well, the money seems too cheesy, the company under my name has a set of courtyard houses in the capital that I just bought, just near the Forbidden City, over there in the North Pond, worth more than 1.5 million, you helped me edit this movie, and the courtyard is yours." ”

Ye Ming pretended to ponder for a while, but in his mind, he directly asked the system [Regarding the movie [Jing Ke Assassinating King Qin], is there any way to edit it, I mean it is very comfortable for professionals to watch, but Western audiences don't buy it. 】

The system immediately improved and said that there are three ways, one can protect the capital, one is to be able to recover 50 million investment, and the other is to be able to recover 40 million investment from abroad. If it is said that according to Chen Kaige's editing level, it is possible to earn 30 million yuan if you work hard, and the probability is about 40%. 】

20 million, such a price, in fact, Ye Ming is not very satisfied, so he immediately asked [If you say that it is comfortable to look at, but the box office is only more than 10 million, is there a way to almost such a level?]

The system prompts [The host has finally understood the true meaning of how to become an emperor superstar, in this line, only by stepping on others, can he be on the throne, therefore, the host's perception is increased by half a star.] 】

This kind of result made Ye Ming really happy. At this moment, Ye Ming's mind re-displayed a new data [Host: Ye Ming. Age nineteen years old, acting, 719, singing: 588. Popularity: 630, Force Value, 400, Perception: Two and a half stars. Function: Artist training, prop shop. Inventory, stamina potions, stand-in golems. Classic Movie Signing Card].

At this moment, Ye Ming's heart seems to have become more transparent, comprehension, it turns out that this is the case, others can figure out a line in ten seconds, you can do it in seven seconds, this is understanding.

At that moment, Ye Ming nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, where is the editing room here Mr. Dong?"

At this moment, Kadokawa Liyan seemed to be very surprised, his eyes widened and said, "Don't you need Director Ye to start editing tomorrow when you are ready? ”

This can't help but make Kadokawa say that Ye Ming is too arbitrary. It's basically the same thing to not take the work of directing and editing. Ye Ming waved his hand with a smile and said: "Mr. Kadokawa, don't worry, you are an expert in business, but when it comes to movies, then I still have the right to speak, half an hour is enough to edit out a ten-minute film, of course, it is a rough cut, after all, this is just a proper modification, it doesn't take too long." ”

At this time. In fact, Ye Ming pretended to know what he knew, and he was indeed able to fool some people. Especially a layman like Tachiya Kadokawa.

Ye Ming followed a staff member of Huayi to the editing room with the film, and at this time, Dong Ping looked at Kadokawa with suspicion and said, "Mr. Kadokawa, do you mean that you believe in Ye Ming so much?

Because some of Poly Huayi's industries are also developing towards internationalization, Dong Ping believes that a good relationship with a Japanese businessman like Kadokawa is also helpful for the company's development. After all, the Japanese film market is an important market in Asia, and in such a situation, Kadokawa Liyan was allowed to join here, but he definitely didn't expect that Zhang Yimou and Ye Ming decided that this movie was basically hopeless. At least that's the case at home.

However, it seems to be said that if you re-edit it, you will not completely lose money internationally. This is a little unacceptable for Dong Ping, after all, he has lost real money. At this time, Kadokawa said that there is no reason to be unhappy, sell it to Poly Huayi 13 million, and then get some from the international copyright, even if it is a loss, it will not be too much, right?

At the moment, he was very satisfied with the current result, and said with a smile: " Dong Sang rest assured, in fact, I also said that he should pass the appraisal of my experts, saying that there is no problem, my two experts, one of whom has been a judge at the Cannes International Film Festival for many years, still has a very accurate judgment of the film, therefore, in such a situation, I think that once my filmmaker passes, at least he can get back some of the investment, in this way, sending out a house of more than one million yuan, this is nothing. ”

Kadokawa said that this guy is a pure businessman, Ye Ming is not wrong, he doesn't know much about movies, but he knows how to do business, how to make money, that's enough.

The wishful thinking in his heart is that once he gets the affirmation of the two filmmakers he brought, it almost means that there is still a fight at the Cannes International Film Festival, in this way, once he gets an award, the result is that it is absolutely no problem to fool the film distributors in Europe, America and Southeast Asia, and sell the copyright for 20 or 30 million.

Even if I can't read my film, it's still an award-winning film at the Cannes Film Festival, isn't it?

For example, in China, Poly Huayi can be fooled, relying on Chen Kaige's fame, 13 million, which is also to recover some investment, otherwise, the position of the manager may be dangerous after Kadokawa Liyan goes back.

Thinking of this, Kadokawa Liyan couldn't help but secretly look at Dong Ping proudly. Half an hour has passed, in fact, in such a situation, on such a problem, Kadokawa Liyan is still very nervous, almost saying that the deficit of 60 million yuan, if it is converted into yen, it will be almost billions of yen, this number, he can't afford it.

Next, Kadokawa Liyan found two experts he had brought over, one with gray hair and the other with black-rimmed glasses, looking like a scholar. After watching the movie edited by Ye Ming, these two people said respectfully to the white-haired filmmaker with black-rimmed glasses: "Kitano senior, please." ”

In Japan, there is a strict hierarchy in the entertainment industry that is beyond what most people think. At this time, as long as there is a senior, the other person must show enough respect. Let's say once.

The filmmaker with black-rimmed glasses didn't dare to say anything.

Kitano Takeshi, the leader of Japan's new generation of directors, in the post-Kurosawa era. Kitano is known as the new emperor of the Japanese film industry.

He is not very tall, but sitting there, he naturally has a towering mountain-like temperament, and the suppressed Kadokawa Liyan and the middle-aged man in the black frame are a little breathless.

Kitano was silent for a moment before saying, "Mr. Kadokawa, this editing, I think, if it is said that it is not possible to preserve the capital according to your first request, but if it is said to be in accordance with your second request." In fact, this movie is still very much in line with the style of Cannes, so it is normal for such a film to win one or two awards after the past, because it is very in line with the style of Ganah. ”

Cannes style? This kind of thing makes Kadokawa Tachiyan unable to understand, but in fact, he doesn't need to understand such a problem, as long as he can ensure that his goal can be achieved, then this thing is indeed no problem.

At that moment, Kadokawa Tachiyan immediately said very respectfully: "Since it is Mr. Kitano, he said so." I don't think there's any problem, thank you Mr. Kitano. Thanks Mr. Tsukamoto, both, I've already arranged a room for both of you at Hilton, please. ”

At this time, when he got into the car, Tsukamoto finally couldn't help but ask, "Kitano-senpai." I actually think that this movie, after being re-edited, is a bit weird, almost saying that the connection of each shot is to please the judges. It's okay for professionals to watch it, but what if the audience does?"

He didn't say this clearly, but the meaning is still very obvious, this thing, in fact, means that the box office is not very good, at least it is not far from Kadokawa Liyan's hope.

Kitano immediately said: "I understood it in the second minute, this clip is for the competition, there are not many directors in Huaxia who can have this ability, I heard that Kadokawa invited Zhang Yimou in order to keep his position."

Could it be that Zhang Yimou made a move. ”

Tsukamoto immediately said: "I heard Mr. Kadokawa's subordinates say just now that it seems that a young director Ye Ming made a move, which is the director of [Crazy Stone], so I wonder that a new director can edit this kind of movie, which is far from [Crazy Stone]. ”

Mr. Kitano said with some surprise: "Isn't it Zhang Yimou? That's a pity, I thought it was Zhang Yimou's style, which is very similar to Zhang Jun's style. ”

At this time, Tsukamoto said suspiciously: "Mr. Kitano, why don't we make a move, if Mr. Kitano wants to make a move, it will definitely be much stronger than the current version." ”

Mr. Kitano said with a smile: "In terms of technique, this Ye Ming's editing technique is already very sleek, even if I make a shot, I may not be better in terms of technique, of course, in terms of story, there must be changes, which will increase the box office in the international arena, but why don't you know how to do it if some directors in Japan dare to make a move?"

Tsukamoto suddenly realized, "Kitano-senpai said that Mr. Kadokawa's investment in Huaxia's movies made some people in Tokyo not very happy, right?

Kitano nodded and said: "Otherwise, then what do you think is going on, with Kadokawa's relationship, it is no problem to find a suitable director in China to re-edit, why would you go to this Huaxia to find someone to edit." In fact, Kadokawa also realized this and came to Huaxia to find someone to help with editing.

Ye Ming, Tsukamoto, you have to be careful of this person in the future, don't you know what you can't succeed for? You don't know how to curry favor with those people at the International Film Festival, but this Ye Ming, ten of your methods can't compare to him. ”

At this time, Kitano Wu received a phone call, and his face suddenly turned pale, and he was surprised that even the phone fell off, and Tsukamoto never felt that Director Kitano was so unable to control his emotions.

He asked curiously, "Kitano-senpai, what's wrong?"

Kitano looked in the direction of Tokyo and said, "I was hospitalized in the past, and it is said that I have been given a critical illness notice." The driver went to the airport right away. ”

Who can be called a senior by Kitano in Japan?

Tsukamoto immediately realized who it was.

The Japanese film industry is about to be turned upside down. (To be continued......)
