Chapter 387: [People in Embarrassment] Press Conference
[People in Embarrassment] is not a secret start-up, but a very large and huge press conference, which has been attended by the news media for more than 50 years. Ye Ming once again won the Golden Horse Actor, a work of the Trinity, which is still quite newsworthy, so this time it was actually said that reporters from more than 70 media outlets, and even reporters from Hong Kong City and Treasure Island also followed.
A lot of it is uninvited. What is called influence, this is called influence. Every move is able to get more media attention, which is admirable.
And Yu Guo, the chief reporter of [Entertainment Morning Post], was the first to stand up at the press conference and said: "May I ask Mr. Ye, this is your second Trinity work, do you have any confidence that this movie will surpass [Crazy Stone] at the box office." ”
Ye Ming looked around at the reporters at the scene, and found that everyone was waiting to see and see, expecting that Ye Ming could get an accurate answer from Ye Ming's mouth, and then Ye Ming coughed and said: "It's really hard to say whether this transcends or not, for a director, every movie is like his child, you say, a father, does he prefer the boss, or does he prefer the second child, this palm and back of the hand are all meat." What I can do is to try to do the best I can, as for whether to surpass or not, it depends on whether the audience likes it or not. ”
This is the same as the answer to Tai Chi, which obviously made the reporters at the scene depressed for a while, what is the difference between this and not answering. Lao Bai, a reporter from [Southern Weekly], is also an acquaintance, but he is an enemy, usually when he stands up and asks questions, he says that he will go against Ye Ming, which definitely means that it will not make Ye Ming feel very comfortable.
And so it was this time. Lao Bai stood up and said: "Director Ye, this Lunar New Year file can be said to be full of war, I heard that there will be at least six Chinese New Year films participating in the competition." And the most powerful of them should be directed by Feng Xiaogang's "Endless", I don't know what the director thinks of his works in these six movies. Is it possible to be in the first position. ”
Lao Bai's words, that is, it is a bit of a discord, if Ye Ming said that the answer is the first, it is deliberately to suppress Feng Xiaogang. If you don't say that you are the first, then in such a thing, but also in your own press conference, it is also a big blow to yourself. Chinese people pay attention to a good start, and they categorically did not say that they were not the first.
Lao Bai looked at Ye Ming triumphantly at this time. He knew that such a question was not easy to answer, even if Ye Ming was very cunning, he would never say that he could answer such a question casually.
Ye Ming seemed to say that he didn't regard such a thing as a problem at all, but said with a smile: "Who did you listen to this news, when I held a meeting at the General Administration last time, there were not six New Year movies, but eight, eight New Year movies." But, among them, to say the best. It's not my [People in Embarrassment], nor is it directed by Feng Xiaogang's [Endless]. ”
Lao Bai was a little surprised when he heard such an answer. When did Ye Ming become so modest about this matter: "Director Ye is polite, you are also a person who has set a domestic film box office record, and Director Feng Xiaogang is the first person to make a Chinese New Year film, who else has a better movie than you at such a time, I think, there are not many directors like this in China, right?"
Although the relationship between Lao Bai and Ye Ming is not very good, he also has to admit such a thing on such a problem, that is, at such a time, Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming are ahead of most directors in terms of movies.
Ye Ming said very modestly: "There are many talents in Chinese films. There are more good directors than the two of us, and the movie I said is better than the two of us, which is "Jing Ke's Assassination of King Qin" directed by Chen Kaige. After re-editing, Director Chen decided that this film would fight for the Chinese New Year again. ”
Movies that have been screened are actually said to be able to be re-screened. This seems to be something that never happened again. If it is said that Chen Kaige's qualifications as an international director can steadily overpower Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang, there is absolutely no problem, but if it is said that this [Jing Ke Assassinates King Qin] can be re-released, it seems, it seems, this is a little unlikely.
The reporter of [Star Entertainment] is a young beauty, very young like a college student who has just graduated, and she doesn't seem to be very familiar with this industry, and after getting permission, she stood up curiously and said: "Director also, just now your Shengnuo [Jing Ke Assassin Qin King] is going to be re-released in the Chinese New Year file, how is this possible, I have seen [Jing Ke Assassin Qin King] Yes, I wasted my 35 yuan in vain, the super blockbuster became a bad movie, and the box office in the mainland was only more than 2 million, which is simply unimaginable. This is a film that was judged as one of the top ten bad movies in the United States in 98. Even if it doesn't have this title, how can a movie that has been released be re-released. ”
Ye Ming said with a smile: "This, there is nothing impossible, directors who have won international awards, how can their works be denied casually, since Director Chen Kaige said that he has won international awards, everyone is a person in the circle, and there should be some things very clear, and the General Administration has approved it." Moreover, this is a re-edited by director Chen Kaige, not the old version of the movie, so I think there must be something new for everyone. ”
Although Ye Ming said that he didn't deal with Chen Kaige very well, but in such a situation, he would never say that he was directly saying that Chen Kaige was not in public. The reporters quickly recorded Ye Ming's words, and prepared to go back and carefully discover the inside story of a good thing all of a sudden. This is quite a news thing.
And then the reporter of [Next Weekly] stood up and said: "Mr. Ye, I heard that you are interested in developing in Hong Kong City, I don't know if it is a rumor." ”
Ye Ming pondered for a while, he wanted to go to Hong Kong City to develop, few people knew about it, but this is also an inevitable trend, the film environment of Hong Kong City means that there is a trend of declining rivers, but at least the overall level is higher than that of the mainland, which is why the actors and stars in Hong Kong City look down on their counterparts in the mainland. If it weren't for the fact that one step back made the mainland actors turn over, at this time, the actors in Hong Kong City would be even more rampant.
Going to Hong Kong City obviously exercises his ability more, but Ye Ming knows that there are still some things he hasn't done in the mainland now, so he must do a good job in this base camp, so that he can go out with peace of mind.
At that moment, Ye Ming thought about it and said: "I have naturally considered this, in fact, I have also had a ruthless and happy cooperation with the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City, I studied in Hong Kong City when I debuted, and I have also cooperated with Guo Tianwang and Zheng Yijian in movies, so my cooperation with Hong Kong City has not been interrupted." As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I think there will be further cooperation. It is a trend for colleagues from Hong Kong cities to come to the mainland, and counterparts from the mainland to go to Hong Kong cities. Our Brilliant Film and Television also has its own company in Hong Kong City, which means that I attach great importance to it, and if there is any action, then I will be the first to inform you. ”
Ye Ming didn't say no, nor did he say that he would go immediately, which gave people a space for association.
At this time, a reporter from an entertainment magazine in the mainland [Star Frontier] threw out a question that readers were very concerned about: "Director Ye, this time, in addition to your starring role, do you plan to select some of the remaining actors to the outside world, or do you want to say that all the actors from your company are to play them?" Ye Ming pondered for a while before saying: "Actors, most of them will use actors from our company, but there is also an excellent actor recommended by the Beijing Film Studio, Miss Su Man, I think, we will have a happy cooperation." ”
In fact, these roles in the movie, Brilliant Film and Television itself can also bear all of them, but because after all, it is under the name of the Beijing Film Factory, if the film studio recommends one or two people to come over at this time, it is normal at such a time. This Su Man is not an ordinary person, the niece of a deputy director of the film studio, and a very difficult master to serve. However, Ye Ming understands very well that when he plays in this circle, sometimes the rules that should be followed still have to be followed. Otherwise, they will be isolated. The reporter did not give up, but continued to ask, "So, Miss Suman should be the heroine of this movie?"
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What kind of role an actor should look like, this is determined by the director through overall consideration, therefore, what role Miss Su Man should play depends on the needs of the plot." However, the specific role still needs to be found out by asking everyone to go to the cinema to support this movie. ”
In fact, he has seen Su Man's acting skills, less than five hundred, which is considered some acting skills, but it is absolutely impossible to play the starring role.
But people are related, so Ye Ming is not easy to push away, and when the time comes, just arrange a suitable small role for her.
And Ye Ming can also see that this reporter at the forefront of the star should have been arranged by Su Man.
Regarding Su Man's role, in fact, she herself has asked many times, but Ye Ming just didn't let go, probably asked this reporter to inquire about the situation. But how could Ye Ming be so frivolous and fooled. (To be continued)
