Chapter 551: Director Columbus's Ambitions
Ye Ming didn't hesitate at all, he directly bargained to a hundred pounds, bargaining, that is a must, if the Huaxia people buy things at the stalls, if they don't bargain, then their brains are in water.
The prices of the goods on the stalls, including those in the antique market, have a lot of moisture, and the antique market has the most moisture. But Ye Ming still underestimated the stubbornness of this old man, and he couldn't lose a penny of three hundred pounds.
At this time, Sister Pei Pei couldn't stand it anymore and said: "Ye Ming, this thing may not be of any use to you, if you use a camera, how good it would be to go back and buy a new one." Why bother with an old camera?"
Ye Ming didn't say anything with a smile, and finally insisted on buying this camera for three hundred pounds. The money was naturally deducted from his expenses, fifty pounds a day.
This is what the director meant, but obviously, the director's decision made He Jiong very unhappy, and glared at the director fiercely, why don't you have any eyesight, the TV station asked you to come, is that against Ye Ming?
Fan Binbin said with some incomprehension on the side: "Brother Ming, what are you talking about competing with this thing, fifty pounds, it is estimated that you can only eat one meal a day." ”
Everyone's expenses are the same, and if Ye Ming deducts fifty pounds, it will naturally have a certain impact on his consumption. Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is nothing, you don't have to eat tonight, the TV station will take care of the meal, and then we will solve the current difficulties first." ”
Knowing that the director had offended Ye Ming, He Jiong had to find a way to remedy it at this time.
So, take the chance. He Jiong said on the side: "This expense is a personal expense, which can be calculated into accounts other than shooting. The crew can make an advance, and it will be completed after returning home. Li Xiang, what do you think? ”
Li Xiang saw He Jiong's eyes. Naturally, he said that he would understand why He Jiong did this, and quickly nodded and said, "There is no problem with this, Mr. Ye's purchase is also an accident." ”
What is called a big-name star, who can have privileges in the crew, this is a big-name star, Ye Ming is undoubtedly the biggest big name in the entire crew.
It's like going to a TV station to shoot a show this time, if it weren't for the relationship between Ye Ming and the [Harry Potter] crew, would people let Hua'er and the teenager's crew go over? Therefore. Ye Ming has a special influence in this crew.
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "Forget it, the rules are the rules, I will make up for my losses, this camera, I think there is a very special place, someone will definitely spend a high price to buy it." ”
In Studio 1 of the British BBC television, at this time, Columbus glanced at Schumacher and said, "Joe, do you think this thing can increase the box office of [Batman and Robin]?" These are two completely different movies in the sense, there is no comparison at all, and I don't think the audience will necessarily like to compare the two movies. ”
Director Joe Schumacher is very ambitious now, and he always wants his films to have a good box office. This time, I took the opportunity of publicity, I wanted the popular [Harry Potter] to set off [Batman and Robin], saying that it was a promotional show for the two movies. In fact, at this time, anyone can see it. It is [Batman and Robin] as the main character.
Because [Batman and Robin] not only said that Joe Schumacher was always on the scene this time, but also that there would be George Clooney later. The arrival of superstars such as Arnold Schwarzenegger, this time is the stage of [Batman and Robin].
Look at who [Harry Potter] is, writer Rowling, well, Schumacher admits that [Harry Potter] has been very popular recently, but a writer's influence on the entertainment industry is limited.
And the rest of the [Harry Potter] actors, to be honest, are all newcomers, and there is no comparison with the [Batman and Robin] crew.
At this time, Schumacher said with a smile: "Columbus, you have to have confidence in your own movies, I believe that the future is the world of [Harry Potter], but now, now is the world of [Batman and Robin], this time, Warner actually did not send someone over, I heard that you found a Chinese man to come over to support the scene, do you think, is this possible? That's just a lucky little guy, I bet he doesn't even have the courage to face Clooney and Schwarzenegger."
I don't understand if the boss of the BBC has a brain in the water, and he really agreed to your request. ”
In the UK, there is actually a big division now, that is, to fully support the filming of [Harry Potter], and the requirements of the crew of [Harry Potter], as long as it is not excessive, it will be met.
This is also where Schumacher was very jealous, when he filmed [Batman and Robin] by himself, he didn't have such a treatment.
Columbus said with some meaning: "Schumacher, you should understand that the current situation of our British films, against Hollywood films, we will be beaten to the ground, basically there is no ability to fight back, well, God knows, I don't want to watch this kind of thing continue, we British filmmakers have to fight back."
And this time [Harry Potter] is a very good opportunity to fight back. Therefore, at this time, the whole of the UK is supporting my work, and I know that they are not just saying that they support my work, but that they are supporting their Meng Xiang to fight back against Hollywood, and to use a good movie to fight back against Hollywood's suppression, and this, as a director, I feel that I have a very big sense of mission. ”
These words, I really felt a little blood boiling after hearing them. In such a matter, Schumacher's own real thought of this matter, the most he thinks of is [Batman and Robin], and he doesn't care much about what the result of [Harry Potter] can be.
He was a little unconvinced at the moment and said: "Actually, as far as [Batman and Robin] is concerned, it can also fight back, which I have a lot of confidence in my movie." ”
The readership base of [Harry Potter] is very good, but at this time, Schumacher himself also understands in his heart that the readership and fans accumulated by [Batman and Robin] over the years are also quite huge, and the first three [Batman and Robin]. That's a source of confidence for Schumacher right now.
Therefore, it is at this time that Schumacher became ambitious, thinking that he could create a miracle. Ye Ming and the others came very punctually, called Columbus, Columbus personally greeted him, if he didn't come out, it is estimated that Ye Ming and the others may not be able to enter the BBC TV.
At this time, Columbus took them to Studio 1 and said, "Mr. Ye, now, you are participating in this show, this is certain, and your friend, I'm sorry, can only be an audience."
They are not eligible to be photogenic. Of course, you can shoot as much as you allow, this is a benefit given to you by the TV station, to find, it is difficult for outsiders to shoot on BBC TV, your crew should seize this opportunity. ”
In fact, He Jiong and Li Xiang came here for an opportunity like this, in order to learn the advanced experience of foreign TV stations. After Ye Ming arranged for their group, they were taken backstage by Columbus.
At this time, it was naturally said that there was a staff member of the [Harry Potter] crew, a guy named Edward, who gave Ye Ming a draft.
Ye Ming played a number seven role this time. In the variety shows of the TV station, of course, the host is the one who controls the people, the real leader.
As for the guests, if it is one person, it is needless to say, if there are two, or if there are more than two, it will be divided into the first and second roles.
In the course of the interview, the host will focus on the No. 1 role.
At this time, the No. 1 character is generally the most famous star in the group.
Ye Ming doesn't need to inquire about that, he also knows, this time the No. 1 character is Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the No. 2 is George Clooney, and it's hard to say how the rest will be arranged.
It depends on how the show is arranged.
At this time, Edward prompted: "Mr. Ye, the No. 7 role, is already the best role that director Columbus has won, don't mind, thirteen minutes after the show starts, the host Mr. Doyle will guide the topic to you, the director team means to say, I hope you can show Chinese kung fu, because they have all heard that your kung fu is very good."
This should have attracted a lot of viewership to our crew, and director Columbus's goal was to say that we wouldn't be overpowered by the [Batman and Robin] crew. This is what we strive for. ”
Kung Fu, Chinese Kung Fu, for the British, that is also quite attractive.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "I'll pay attention to this, you can rest assured, and I'll let you see what a real surprise is." ”
Ye Ming is very annoyed with his role, but he is also helpless, too, he must know who he is facing, Hollywood superstars, George Clooney, and Arnold Schwarzenegger, these are movie stars who have countless fans in the West.
And the two directors will also occupy a role, and it must be a role that is not low.
Therefore, Ye Ming occupies the role of No. 7, and he will not be asked questions by the host until more than ten minutes after the show starts, which is a normal thing in terms of Ye Ming's fame in the West.
Even if Ye Ming is at the emperor superstar level in Huaxia, it is only to say that the emperor superstar of Huaxia is also influential in Southeast Asia, but it is only said that there are such achievements.
Ye Ming can have the No. 7 role, but it is because of the relationship between the Berlin Film Festival actors, otherwise the No. 7 role may not be there. (To be continued......)
