Chapter 935: The intrigue of the Hollywood crew
Spielberg was a little hostile to Ye Ming at the beginning, deliberately snubbing Ye Ming. But at this time, Ye Ming seemed to have nothing happening, staying in the crew and watching TV leisurely, and from time to time he picked up the newspaper ordered by the crew and flipped through it.
At this time, after an afternoon of filming, Spielberg thought for a while and said, "Old Andre, Ye Ming has been arranging for so long, how is his watch?"
Old Andre, that was Spielberg's very fortunate play. It is impossible to do the position of drama affairs if you are not a close confidant of the director.
Old Andre said with a smile: "At this time, Ye Ming was not in a hurry at all, watching TV and flipping through the newspapers, and in the middle, Arnold Waszenegger and Michael Jackson also called Ye Ming. ”
Ye Ming's calm expression made Spielberg also very surprised, if ordinary people were hung like this for a long time, it was estimated that they would either lose their temper long ago, or go away in shame. But Ye Ming didn't seem to take this matter seriously at all?
Spielberg thought for a moment and said curiously: "Doesn't he have a surprised expression at all? ”
Old Andre shrugged his shoulders with some disappointment and said: "This is really not found, maybe it means that Ye Ming's appearance is too eye-catching, therefore, in such a situation, I don't build yì to continue to hang him, this is not good for the crew, for Ye Ming." ”
Spielberg saw that his effect was not being achieved. In a process like this.
Seeing that their own strategy is ineffective. Spielberg said helplessly: "In this way, for Ye Ming, this kind of test is enough, I will arrange his role in the evening, I hope he will not let me down."
Originally, Spielberg planned to wait directly for Ye Ming to start shooting three days later, but he didn't expect Ye Ming's watch to be so shocking. Therefore. Spielberg felt that if the test continued, there was nothing more to say.
Therefore, such an exam was directly canceled.
Ye Ming didn't care about being ignored, but Spielberg didn't want to waste time on this matter. Therefore, someone directly notified Ye Ming to prepare and start filming the first scene in the evening.
At this moment, Ma Su said a little unhappily: "Boss, what kind of thing is this, at first it was for us to wait." Not even a person with makeup cares about us. Obviously it hung us up. And now it's okay to start shooting directly in the evening, and your script was delivered half an hour ago. Does this mean that you look down on us?"
These are some of the things that Ma Su thinks of in his own heart.
And in such a situation, Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "What is this, this is the case in Hollywood, if you want to win the respect of others, then you have to ensure that you are strong enough at this time." Why is a big star a big star, in fact, it means that the big star has enough acting skills to directly express the director's artistic needs. We didn't do anything. Naturally, it is impossible for others to respect you. ”
The law of the jungle is a law of Hollywood. I believe that many people who want to come to Hollywood are very clear about this.
The crew did this, including the director Spielberg, Ye Ming didn't care at all.
People don't know you at all, they don't know your power, how can they respect you.
Therefore, Ye Ming didn't take this matter seriously at all. If you don't directly show them what you can do, others will naturally not want to respect you.
Ma Su said a little angrily: "This matter." It's similar to the mainland, but in the mainland, I don't think anyone dares to deal with you like this now?"
It seems, and that's really the case, at this time. Ye Ming really explained, sat up straight and said: "To tell you the truth, we in Huaxia are not saying that there are not enough good actors, but that we have enough good actors, but why are not many people able to break into Hollywood."
You'll find out about that later. Generation gap, the cultural differences between the East and the West, the way to express xiàn is that there is a generation gap. And how to make up for this, at this time, it depends on the star's own performance skills. ”
Generation gap, there is actually a generation gap, and when I was in school, the teacher didn't say that there was a generation gap between Eastern and Western actors.
And at such a time, Ma Su really realized this in Hollywood.
Therefore, Ma Su said with some surprise: "Everyone is an actor, what a generation gap, can Hollywood actors directly crush our big stars in China?"
This makes Ma Su difficult to understand for a while, in such a situation, there are many people who want to make up for this generation gap, but there are few people who can do this?
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "I may not be able to explain it clearly to you, when I shoot at night, you can pay attention to my performance, and you will know what the generation gap is." ”
Such a generation gap is very easy to observe.
Whether it is an Eastern movie or a Western movie, at this time, there is one thing involved, that is, the style of the entire film is a problem on such a issue.
Intuitively, it is to see what a director's personal style is like.
The overall style of a film must be consistent, and in this way, it will become a true classic.
If it is said that an Oriental movie rashly appears a Westerner, or a Western movie rashly appears an Oriental, then this matter will seem to have a difference in the overall film style.
This is also the reason why Spielberg does not like to arrange an oriental character in his film. Because Ye Ming's appearance will greatly affect the style of the entire movie.
If it is said that Ye Ming's performance is not very good and can be integrated into the whole movie, then at this time, Ye Ming will be a burden to the movie [Minority Report], and even the failure of the entire minority report movie.
This is the important surname of the fusion of film styles. Of course, if it is said that Ye Ming has enough strong acting skills to be integrated into the movie Minority Report, this matter is the icing on the cake.
Therefore. Tonight's performance is going to be very important. The important thing is that even the contraction determines whether Ye Ming can continue to stay.
In fact, seeing the current atmosphere of the entire crew, Ye Ming is also very clear, it is a mule or a horse, and he will be led out for a walk. Whatever you say is illusory.
And when Ye Ming wanted to enter Hollywood, he actually knew that he would always face this unspoken rule of Hollywood one day.
It's just that Ye Ming didn't think of anything. The first step in the real sense of the word, the director of the big production Zuò in Hollywood will be Spielberg.
Being able to show his talent in such a movie is also a test for Ye Ming.
One of Hollywood's four major directors, this is not an ordinary title. said that Spielberg's requirements for movies are very strict.
Xu Zheng said a little sternly on the side: "Boss." I investigated, director Spielberg's requirements for movies are very high, your first movie actually said that you met director Spielberg, which has to be said to be a very creative thing. I don't know if this is a blow to you, or if it's another opportunity for you. ”
Ye Ming had already guessed the matter to this point. Xu Zheng also expressed his worries, for most of the day, Xu Zheng has been observing Spielberg's crew, he is an expert gatekeeper, and the crew is busy as a whole, as precise as a machine.
Therefore, this also makes Xu Zheng feel that this crew is stronger than any crew he has ever stayed in.
This matter is not a good thing for Ye Ming. But we'll have to wait and see.
Because Ye Ming was the first to face such a strong lineup, if Ye Ming passed this level. It can be said that in the future, any crew and director in Hollywood will not question Ye Ming in terms of language or acting skills.
But if it fails, then Ye Ming's plan to enter Hollywood will be stranded for at least three years. After all, if Ye Ming was directly expelled from the minority report crew, it would definitely be a big blow to Ye Ming's career.
Ye Ming shook his head and didn't say anything. The eyes fell on the script. If it's an opportunity, it's up to you to see if you can seize it.
It has finally been difficult to get to this point, Ye Ming is also opportunistic, if it weren't for Ye Ming's strong brilliant network as a backing, William Morris Company might not be in such a hurry to recruit himself. If it weren't for the fact that he had a strong influence in the investment understanding, Spielberg would not have nodded and allowed himself to participate in the minority report.
Spielberg is not a compromise with some unspoken rules of Hollywood.
Ye Ming's status has been so difficult, you can imagine how difficult it will be if other Chinese actors or Asia-Pacific actors come to Hollywood.
This is simply more difficult than mixing from the grassroots to the emperor superstar in your own country.
Because in their own country, whether it is the cultural background or the performance style, everyone is the same. If you do better than others, you have the hope of getting ahead.
But if it is said that in such a situation, an Oriental must at least be better than most Hollywood actors in Hollywood, and in this way, then there is a chance of success.
Ye Ming's multiple identities make Hollywood people have to pay attention to it, so this is the opportunity to perform.
Ye Ming closed his eyes and said, "You guys go out first, I want to think about tonight's shooting quietly." By the way, tell the crew that if we have dinner in the evening, I don't mind giving them a lesson that they will never forget. ”
In the crew, Spielberg can put on a face, because he is the boss of the crew, even for Tom Cruise, he will teach a lesson.
Just like old Andre, Spielberg is the boss in the crew.
And he also doubted Ye Ming's acting skills, so at this moment, it is understandable to hang Ye Ming first. But if it is said that the people in the drama crew also dare to make a stumbling block for themselves, then such a thing is a thing that Ye Ming can't tolerate.
The crew has the unspoken rules of the crew, group performances, drama affairs say to eat some kickbacks, and if you say that you will suppress it, then forget it.
People are performing in groups, and there won't be a few stupid people who protest for this. But Ye Ming is a star anyway, even if he is not very famous in Hollywood, and many people are relatively unfamiliar, but he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and he is an actor with a role invited by Spielberg to the crew.
Therefore, in one case, if it is said that the people in the drama crew think that Ye Ming, an Oriental, is easy to bully, it would be wrong. After Xu Zheng left, he went to the crew and told the crew about such a thing.
But it seems that the crew didn't take Xu Zheng's warning to heart at all. Xu Zheng told Ye Ming the result of this matter, and said that the people who saw the crew still put their own group lunches and group performances together, obviously looking down on them.
Ye Ming waved his hand and let Xu Zheng leave, this crew is really a small river, even the people in the crew look down on them Orientals, it can be seen that other people also have the same thoughts of the crew.
If it is said that noon is considered to be in a hurry and not prepared, but Ye Ming has been here for more than half a day at this time, and the people in the crew still do not pay attention to the four people on their side, which is unforgivable.
Not all the people in the crew are Spielberg's, not all the people in the crew, Ye Ming is afraid and dare not offend.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming pondered for a while and entered the system, and soon knew a solution to the problem.
After closing his eyes for five minutes, Ye Ming said to himself: "Dare to look down on us Huaxia people, what a big boldness, since it is said that we are not allowed to eat a good meal, then everyone will abandon it and be unlucky." ”
Ye Ming is definitely not the kind of person who knows how to forbear, this is Ye Ming's real character, a person in the crew dares to offend Ye Ming, how will he mix in the crew in the future. (To be continued......)
