Ye Ming said with great confidence: "Cinema, next year, the state will allow foreign investment in cinemas, this is an opportunity, although in a short period of time, the investment in cinemas is huge, but long-term planning, cinemas are the real king, in this era when marketing is king, mastering the cinema line will master the lifeline of the movie." ”

This is a consensus in the entertainment industry, you don't care who makes the movie, even if it's Cameron. Spielberg's films, at all times, are to be screened in cinemas. The theater chain produces the box office, and the box office is the basis of the movie, and everything else is nonsense.

Chen Yang had never participated in such a thing, and said with some disdain: "Cinemas are king, you said, but, why don't Huayi Brothers, Poly Huayi, Zhongbo and other film and television companies set up their own cinemas, just say that your brilliant film and television want to set up their own cinemas?" Although he is not very familiar with the entertainment industry, the general film and television companies do not have their own cinemas, which Chen Yang is very clear about.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "It's not that there isn't, but they don't dare, the investment of the cinema chain, that doesn't mean that a film and television company can do it." It must be supported by a large consortium.

Therefore, it is not easy for me to do it myself, and if it is easy to do it, then I will not ask you to cooperate. ”

Ye Ming said so many things unceremoniously, in fact, there was only one meaning on such a question, that is, there was no money, and there was not much money to do it yourself.

Chen Yang hesitated, his eyes flickering. But after all, he couldn't make up his mind in his heart, and finally sighed and said, "This is not in our Chen family's plan." Investing in a cinema chain involves a lot of things, and it is not so simple to do. I can't promise you now. Moreover, the cinema chain is not so easy to do from time to time. It's too much to burn money. ”

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: Since this is the case, then I didn't say anything. However, Chen Yang's arrival affected Ye Ming's life in the end, in fact, he didn't plan to do a cinema chain, and the cinema line is indeed a very money-burning industry. The upfront investment is very large, and the operating expenses are also quite high, but Ye Ming did not give up such an idea, after all, the cinema chain is king. This is a later exhibition trend, more than half of the box office of a movie is to be given to theaters, if the film and television company does not have a theater, then it will wait to be exploited in the future.

After telling Sister Fang Fang about this, Sister Fang Fang said disdainfully: "You better save it, cinema line, do you have so much money? And you can't use it all for theaters, right? In the end, Ye Ming put aside his thoughts for the time being. However, he is also waiting, waiting for a suitable opportunity to enter a business like the theater chain.

After a week, Zhang Yimou called over and said in a tired voice: "Ye Ming, the crew of [My Father and Mother] has officially shut down, and a shutdown ceremony will be held tonight, but you kid is coming over." Ye Ming looked at the time, smiled bitterly and said, "Director Zhang." It's half past five in the afternoon, and you won't be like this if you play me, even if I drive a helicopter over, I guess your shutdown ceremony will be over when it is broken. ”

Zhang Yimou laughed at this time and said: "I knew you would say that, rest assured, we are holding a shutdown ceremony in the capital." At half past seven in the evening, the banquet hall on the third floor of Red Star Seafood City, you have to come then. ”

Since it is in the capital, Ye Ming naturally has no reason not to go when it is like that, this is the rule in the circle, if there is no last resort, it is generally like this kind of shutdown ceremony, which is the same as the university's casual dinner, and it is necessary to go. asked Director Li Ping for a leave, Ye Ming returned to the dressing room to remove his makeup, and he was a little rushed to see the time.

At this time, Fan Binbin ran in in an ancient costume and a bright red down jacket and said: "Brother Ming, how is it, after the play tonight, the fifth elder brother invites one, you want to go for supper, do you want to go together, everyone hasn't offended together for a long time." Let's go together?" Ye Ming had already started to remove his makeup at the moment, and after Fan Binbin saw it, he said, "What, you are removing your makeup now, will you go out later?"

The crew still has scenes to shoot at night, generally, they don't remove makeup at this time, but Ye Ming is removing makeup in the dressing room, which means that he is going out. Ye Ming said while removing his makeup: "I just received a call from Director Zhang, saying that [my father and mother] have been turned off, and the shutdown ceremony will be held in the capital, how can I be the leading actor, if I don't go, it will offend people, I just told Director Li that my role will be postponed to tomorrow night."

Let's go play today, and when the time comes, maybe you'll be back at some time. Hearing this, at this time, countless little stars appeared in Fan Binbin's eyes: "Director Zhang, Director Zhang Yimou, Director Zhang, he actually called to invite you to go, when will I be afraid of Director Zhang's play." ”

In China, it is indeed an honor to be able to make a movie of the national teacher, who doesn't know that the film of the national teacher is the easiest to win awards internationally. Even if Fan Binbin is now a first-line famous actor, the national teacher Zhang Yimou is still so unattainable for her.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "There will be a chance, to be honest, Zhang Ziyi's acting skills may not necessarily be better than yours, the key is the opportunity, if the opportunity comes, maybe you will be able to do it." Fan Binbin could hear this, and this was a comforting word. Cold, the moon is full in the West Building, and the moonlight in the sky pours like water, passing through the layers of night, falling in this colorful city.

The capital is not a traffic jam now, so by the time Ye Ming arrived, it was only seven o'clock.

If it is an ordinary crew, the big names can come over on time, which is already quite to give the director face, and if you are late for less than 20 minutes, is it called late? If you are not half an hour late, you can't say that you are called a big name at all. However, no one in Zhang Yimou's crew will be late, and Ye Ming naturally said that he would not make such a mistake.

Rao is Ye Ming arrived half an hour early, but he still came a little late, and the other members of the crew had already arrived early, and Zhang Yimou's crew naturally arrived as early as possible.

Zhang Ziyi saw that Ye Ming was actually 'late', and it was very unpleasant in her heart, if she was the last one to come, Na Wangwang said that she was the most important member of the crew, although it was not considered late, but the later she came, the more sufficient the qualifications of this actor were. Zhang Ziyi stood beside Zhang Weiping in a sky blue evening dress and muttered in a low voice: Mr. Zhang, this Ye Ming is also a little too arrogant, I want everyone to wait for him together, I don't take you and Director Zhang in my eyes. ”

This is what it means to wear Ye Ming's small shoes. However, Zhang Weiping didn't seem to be angry at all, and said with a slightly helpless look in his eyes: "Ye Ming, this kid is not simple, do you know? The day before yesterday, I had dinner with Wang Zhongjun and Jiang Wen, and one of the five people sitting together was him. Jiang Wen's new film, [The Devil is Coming], Brilliant Film and Television is one of the five major investors, and this kid is ambitious and has the meaning of entering the theater chain. ”

Actually, Zhang Weiping didn't say a word, among the four bosses present at the time, who didn't mean to enter the theater, the theater is the king, the four of them are very clear about this. It's just that there is no money, and if there is money, it is estimated that the four of them will have such an action.

Zhang Ziyi's face was a little sluggish when she heard this, when she was still busy making movies, Ye Ming had already started to work on the theater line, although it was just an idea, but it was not something that ordinary people could imagine.

Therefore, at this moment, Zhang Ziyi's expression gradually became stern. Zhang Yimou saw Ye Ming coming, walked over and said: "Ye Ming, you came just in time, in fact, I also have something to look for you, my movie, lacks a good theme song, and it is not very appropriate for Sanbao to do it, how do you look at it, if it is like [invisible wings] again, it is the best." ”

Sure enough, this shutdown ceremony was not so easy to attend, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Director Zhang, you really said it, in fact, when filming this drama, I really wrote a song, if Director Zhang didn't say it, then I still really can't mention this matter?" Zhang Yimou was actually very surprised, Ye Ming wrote a song very well, which can be seen from [Invisible Wings], but he never thought that Ye Ming actually said that he would write the song without making a sound. At that moment, Zhang Yimou laughed and said: "Yes, in this way, we really have a heart, you can tell me, what kind of song it is, if it is not appropriate enough, then I will not agree." ”

In fact, Zhang Yimou didn't think that Ye Ming could agree immediately, and if he could write it before the end of the post-production of the movie, it would already be a pretty good thing. But I didn't expect that he really had such a song, a singer who could win the king in a war, and the songs he wrote were naturally not so simple and perfunctory. If Ye Ming dares to say that in front of him, that is to say, he is very confident in his song, a good song will definitely complement a movie. Zhang Yimou is very clear about this.
