Chapter 925 Huaxia VS Hollywood

Carrying so many reporters is obviously not something that an ordinary crew can do, but Ye Ming has really done such a thing. After all, it is said that Ye Ming has just defeated Time Warner and asked Time Warner to send someone to sue for peace, which is something that has never happened again in the Chinese entertainment industry.

In fact, if Time Warner was afraid that Ye Ming would transfer the copyright of Harry Potter to other companies, and that the quantum fund behind Brilliant Network would really come out to support Ye Ming and himself, then it would be impossible for others to compromise on this matter.

Now let's take a look, the U.S. government is conducting a monopoly investigation on Brilliant Network, if the investigation results show that Brilliant Network is really suspected of monopoly, then it is not impossible for Warner to start again. But at least now they don't have the guts.

Therefore, on such a question, the domestic media has no intention of interviewing the "slumdog millionaire" at all.

Zhang Guorong said more understandingly: "There are so many reporters outside, and there is nothing to open them in, and we should still have one or two hours of interview time." ”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Brother, you don't have to worry about this matter, in fact, I don't mean to be stingy for these two hours, if it is for the needs of publicity, it is not impossible to open up the shooting, but because in the last incident, many media stood on the side of Time Warner to speak, if I open up this time, it will mean that I am afraid of them."

He wanted me to open up the crew to do an interview, but I just didn't let them get complacent, and see what they could do? If they don't teach them a lesson, they think they can really do whatever it takes. ”

Ye Ming has said everything about this, Zhang Guorong naturally won't say anything, the director is the biggest in the crew, and Ye Ming, who is also the director and producer, has nothing to say about offending reporters, he naturally has nothing to say.

But. Zhang Guorong also believes that reporters can't get used to it, but it's rare to have the courage to leave reporters aside. In the end, the struggle between Ye Ming and the media ended with Ye Ming's victory.

But Ye Ming didn't offend the media to death, and before Zhang Guorong left, he still called a press conference.

And he was the first to stand up before the reception and explain: "Ladies and gentlemen. In order to ensure the quality of the shooting, we were supposed to hold a press conference a few days ago, but we held it at this time, and I hope you don't mind. Now, I'm announcing that [Slumdog Millionaire] has shot two-thirds of the content, and all that's left is some finishing touches. Okay, now the interview begins. ”

Ye Ming's words mean that the theme of the movie has been filmed almost, and the rest is that some shots of supporting characters need to be shot. This is also a common rule for film crew shooting, which is generally to shoot all the shots of the protagonist first, this is because the protagonists of the crew are generally big stars, and the time of big stars is very precious, with two months of time and three months of time for big stars, this salary is generally not the same.

Therefore, the concentrated ones are filmed first, and the rest of the empty shots are completed. Shots of supporting characters can be shot in the back. At this time, Lao Bai stood up and said, "I want to ask Mr. Zhang Guorong." What is the reason that prompted you to take over this movie, I remember the last time you co-produced a movie with the mainland, it was a red lover, and I have never seen you cooperate with the mainland. ”

Zhang Guorong knew that he would definitely be asked this question, what is the momentum of a superstar, whether it is facing the audience. Reporter, at any time, any scene is calm, this is the momentum of a real superstar.

At this moment, Zhang Guorong didn't want to say: "The reason is very simple. The problem of the script, whether I take on the mainland film, or the Hong Kong city film, or even the film I shoot as a director, there is only one point, the script, if the script is better, then I can participate in the shooting, I have reduced the number of shots over the years.

I even say that I want to quit the film industry, but if I find a good script, then I don't mean that I can't agree to shoot. This movie is like this, you can go to the movie for details, but I dare say that this is a very moving movie, and it will definitely not disappoint you, at least not me. ”

Next, the reporter even asked a few questions outside of the movie, such as when Zhang Guorong's new record will be released.

This is the influence of superstars, obviously it has nothing to do with this press conference, but in such a situation, the reporter must ask some digressions. It seems to be Zhang Guorong's own press conference.

However, ten minutes later, the reporter still returned to the old topic.

After all, this is Ye Ming's movie, and Ye Ming also has a lot of topics worth looking forward to.

Yu Guo stood up and asked: "Director Ye, I heard that you are still going to participate in Director Spielberg's minority report, I don't know when you will go to filming, I think everyone is very concerned about such an issue." ”

This question has been hyped up in the circle for a long time, and this time it is just cold rice and hot fried. But the reporter is still happy to do it, if you can get some news from Ye Ming's mouth, it is also a more interesting news.

Ye Ming smiled and said: "This matter needs to be decided by Director Spielberg himself, but I got the news from the company over there, and I heard that Director Spielberg has almost prepared." Minority reports can be activated at any time. ”

This news is very exciting, the media in the mainland, Hong Kong City, and Treasure Island are very excited, after all, they are able to participate in Hollywood movies, it seems that there is only one person in the mainland now, and among the actors, there is no one in the mainland who is qualified to participate in Hollywood's A-level films.

Ye Ming was the first. At this time, Yamamoto, a reporter from Japan's Asahi Shimbun, stood up and said: "Mr. Ye, I think readers must be very curious, what kind of role will you play in the minority report?"

This question is relatively sudden, but it is also a matter that everyone has always been very concerned about.

Of course, according to the rules of the entertainment industry, actors will not casually reveal the content of the movie. This is a contract signed with the crew, and anyone who violates the contract will be taken down directly, or even held legally responsible.

But if it's dead or the name of the character, that's usually not much of a problem.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Because this movie is relatively special, if I say the name of my character, then at this time." There will be a suspicion of spoilers, and this depends on whether the director will say it at the press conference. But what I can reveal is that I will have some rivalry with the protagonist, which is a relatively important supporting role. ”

For the rest, Ye Ming didn't say much, after all, this matter involved the issue of the contract, and Ye Ming didn't want to say anything.

And the reporter is also very clear that in such a situation, Ye Ming can say so much. It's already taken care of everyone. If it is said that Ye Ming does not disclose at all, and there is a contract as a shield, the reporters can't say anything.

Zhang Guorong was also very emotional on the side, although Ye Ming is young, but in terms of his attitude towards the media, even if he is an old actor who has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years, he may not be comparable, at this time, when he should play a big name in the face of the media, he must play a big name, I said that if I don't let you enter the crew to interview you, you will have to wait outside obediently. But if it's about openness. Ye Ming also had the courage to say some of the information that everyone needed.

For example, this time the reporters said that they knew at least two more important news, and that [Millionaire in the Slums] was coming to an end. There is also the fact that Ye Ming's second Hollywood movie is about to start shooting.

The next shooting is more smooth, especially after the filming of the young actors' scenes, this one is even more smooth.

And among the little actors, Xiaocao's table xiàn is very good, therefore. Ye Ming decided to sign a higher-grade contract with Xiaocao, and the company would strongly promote Xiaocao as a child star.

Just when the crew ended the daytime shooting and planned to shoot the set at night, Ye Ming received a call from Feng Xiaogang, saying that there was something for Ye Ming to discuss. Moreover, the tone is very strict. This is also quite unexpected for Ye Ming.

Especially said or director Feng Xiaogang's consistent playful and angry character, he is very easy-going to acquaintances.

Last time, even if he asked Ye Ming to do something, he was still that kind of big grin, but this time, it was difficult to hear Feng Xiaogang's tone was relatively strict, without a bit of cynicism. This incident made Ye Ming frown, as if something big had really happened.

At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "Sister Fang, I have something to go out tonight, tell everyone to rest for the night first, and strive to make up for this delay tomorrow." ”

Sister Fang Fang took a look at the arrangement and said: "According to the plan, the entire filming can be completed in a week at most, and our crew has been relatively strict in the past few days, so it's good to relax at this time." ”

Because this movie is going for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming would not dare to hand over this movie to Xu Zheng to shoot.

Although Xu Zheng has also accumulated a certain amount of experience in film shooting, the Oscar is the Oscar, and we must try our best to be in a perfect state to impact the Oscar.

This is also why when Ye Ming wants to leave, he will definitely stop the entire crew.

There is no way to do this, if it is handed over to Xu Zheng, it is difficult to unify the shot with the style of the whole movie. Directors Guild, the people who came this time are not ordinary.

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Li Shaohong, Tian Zhuangzhuang, and President Huang Jianxin sat there with a stern expression.

Those who can sit in the conference room are the pillars of Huaxia movies, but the atmosphere of the entire conference room has become more depressing.

In the past, when directors held meetings, they were all talking and laughing, although sometimes everyone was in a state of competition, but when they arrived here, it was almost like they were at their own home, and the atmosphere of discussion was stronger. But this time, I saw that no one could be happy.

And after Ye Ming came over, when he saw this situation, his heart suddenly sank, I am afraid that this matter is more strict than he imagined.

Ye Ming thought about finding a random place to sit down, but Feng Xiaogang's sharp eyes suddenly saw Ye Ming, and beckoned: "Ye Zi, don't sit in the back, we can't run away from this matter, you also have to express your opinions, what is the matter of hiding behind." ”

Originally, Ye Ming thought that after the meeting, everyone would go back and forget it, but when he heard this, he could only say with a smile: "Aren't I late, what about the crew who were still in Daxing just now, and the capital is now in a traffic jam, so I want to listen to what everyone is discussing first." ”

Although Ye Ming wanted to be lazy, but since Feng Xiaogang said it at such a time, if he said that he was lazy, it would be relatively bad, so he sat directly in the front row, and the front party had Ye Ming's name, and those who could sit here were either old or famous.

And Ye Ming's achievements are also obvious to everyone, so no one said anything to the faction he sat in front of.

Huang Jianxin glanced at Ye Ming and said, "Since Director Ye is here, take a look at the information first, listen to the opinions of the big guys, and then put forward your own opinions."

Shall we brainstorm ideas?" At this time, Ye Ming had the opportunity to take a look at what was going on with the information on the table.

However, Feng Xiaogang said at this time: "What about this matter, I thought about it just now, there are pros and cons, but on the whole, there will be a big impact on our domestic film market now, if we agree, then it is difficult to say whether our entire film market will be able to withstand such a big impact in the future." This is on the negative side for us.

But if it's good for us, if there are more Hollywood movies, that's a very big boost for us.

Of course, from the perspective of protecting the domestic film market, this matter is indeed to be opposed, but I think that our opposition is effective? If our opposition is not effective, then what is the point of our meeting?"

At this time, Feng Xiaogang still did not change the true colors of the little steel cannon, and his words were straightforward, which could make some people angry. (To be continued......)
