Chapter 697: Takeshi Kitano's abacus
Sakura was very surprised, in Sakura's view, Huaxia is a very reserved nation, very modest, generally not so public, even if it is to make achievements, it is necessary to be modest. But like Ye Ming, who is very confident in telling the movies he invests in is a subversive impact, or even a cultural phenomenon, which is a bit inconsistent with the character of Chinese people.
At this time, Sakura also became very interested in Ye Ming, and she said a little unexpectedly: "Ye Sang means that your movie is comparable to Huanzhu Gege? I have watched this TV series starring Ye Sang, and I like the song [Mice Love Rice] in it very much. Zhu Gege is also worthy of being a phenomenal TV series, but if you want to say that your [My Sassy Girlfriend] is also a phenomenal movie, then this phenomenon-level thing is a little too much, right?"
Ye Ming said very confidently: "I still believe in my vision, you can wait until the movie is released to see it, I promise that I will not disappoint you, if it is said that a few reporters went to see this movie and found it bad, then you can ask me for a refund when you go back." ”
This immediately caused a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene, this thing is not ordinary interesting, these reporters, do they still spend money to watch movies? Basically, this is not a very possible thing.
Veteran entertainment reporters are invited to the premiere of the movie, or if they have an early test screening, they will also be invited to come.
Of course, everyone just thought Ye Ming's words were a joke. But at this time, you can't continue to ask.
Because at this moment, Takeshi Kitano came over and said: "Everyone, it's time to give Ye Sang a rest, if there is any problem, then you can go to Ye Sang's concert press conference to ask." Shall you go back?"
Takeshi Kitano, as the new generation of film emperors of Japan, naturally no one can shake his status, and in a country like Japan that is very qualified for status, Takeshi Kitano's words saved Ye Ming's explanation of any words.
None of the reporters dared not to give Takeshi Kitano face, this is Takeshi Kitano's status in the Japanese entertainment industry. All the reporters stepped aside. Make a gap for Ye Ming to get into the car.
This is for Takeshi Kitano's respect, otherwise, if any reporter is said to be remembered by a big name like Takeshi Kitano, then don't want to mix in the entertainment industry in this life.
Shangri-La Hotel, Ye Ming had already booked a room, and at this moment, it was lunchtime, in a private room, Takeshi Kitano just left Ye Ming alone. But at this moment, Ye Ming still didn't look impatient.
Kitano Takeshi smiled and said, "Among the Huaxia people, there are few people with such good patience as Ye Sang, aren't you curious, why did I find you?"
Ye Ming said with a smile: "This matter, if Director Kitano wants to say it, he will always say it, if he doesn't want to say it, I will ask in vain." It's better to wait for Director Kitano to say. ”
Takeshi Kitano gently put down a porcelain teacup in his hand, and the teacup still exuded a faint fragrance.
At this time. Takeshi Kitano pondered for a moment and said: "Actually, there is really a thing, a friend of mine asked me to do something, you may not know, Spielberg is coming to Japan to shoot a movie related to Japan." ”
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something, and said, "The last warrior." A movie starring Tom Cruise, a movie produced by Paramount, I think it's this movie if I'm not wrong. ”
The Last Samurai is a Japanese cultural film about Emperor Meiji who brought in a Western instructor in order to modernize his military. This instructor is starring Tom Cruise. And the supporting roles in this movie are also quite famous, one is Ken Watanabe, and the other is Hiroyuki Sanada. After listening to Takeshi Kitano, Ye Ming immediately thought of this movie.
Takeshi Kitano was also stunned at the moment, this matter has not been spread in the Japanese entertainment industry, but it has just spread among a small group of people in the upper class, and when Spielberg arrives in Japan, it is estimated that it will be impossible to hide such a situation.
Now, however, it is not the case that ordinary people can inquire about such news.
Takeshi Kitano was stunned for a moment before saying: "I didn't expect it, you are so interested in this movie, even in the Japanese entertainment industry, not everyone knows the news." That's right, this is a Japanese film shot by Paramount. This movie is starring Tom Cruise, although it is a Japanese story, but in fact, the core is still a Western movie, and Tom Cruise is the undisputed protagonist. And there are two supporting roles in this, one is Ken Watanabe and the other is Hiroyuki Sanada, if there is nothing else, then this cast list should almost be set. ”
Ken Watanabe, Hiroyuki Sanada, Takaichi Nakai, plus Hiroshi Sato, are the four middle-aged kings of the Japanese film market.
In particular, Ken Watanabe and Hiroyuki Sanada are the two guys who are the most famous. These two are actors who will make a little name for themselves in Hollywood in the future. And the two of them actually came to prominence from Spielberg's [The Last Samurai].
And Ken Watanabe was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor because of this movie, although he didn't win the award in the end, but it was also quite a remarkable thing.
Originally, he didn't have any interest in this movie, and Ye Ming didn't mean to compete for the role of this movie, otherwise, he would have done it a long time ago, at least there would be nothing to do with Ken Watanabe.
But because Ye Ming is not interested in playing a Japanese, he knows about this movie, but he doesn't mean to compete for the role.
Therefore, after listening to Takeshi Kitano's words, Ye Ming said indifferently: "Mr. Kitano's words." What do you mean, this role is all set, if you find me, then what's the point of joking with me?"
Ye Ming is more annoyed now, although Ye Ming is very interested in this Western Japanese film, but after all, he is not interested in making a kick, but if he thinks that others can joke about this matter, Ye Ming will never agree to this matter.
Kitano Takeshi said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, don't worry, if it has nothing to do with you, then I won't bring up such a thing." I was actually commissioned by Spielberg to ask Mr. Ye to be the action director of the last samurai. ”
In fact, in a place like Hollywood, even if you shoot an action movie, there will be no action director.
In the crew, the director is the real boss, and there is no action director, but Spielberg also follows the locals and directly finds two superstars in the Japanese entertainment industry to perform, which is already quite a difficult thing in Hollywood.
Ye Ming saw that Takeshi Kitano said something like this, but at this moment, he was also righteous and awe-inspiring.
Ye Ming also understood that in fact, in such a situation, Takeshi Kitano was just a temptation.
Spielberg wanted to use Ye Ming as an action director, but he didn't want to see himself rejected. In Hollywood, Spielberg believes that few people can resist his invitation.
But this is in Huaxia, so he thinks it's better to find someone to probe Ye Ming's tone. Spielberg saw how chic Ye Ming's skills were from the movie.
Therefore, a thing happened to invite Ye Ming to come over as an action director. Ye Ming pondered for a moment, he didn't want to have anything to do with this movie.
Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and said, "I don't dare to promise you this. Because I've been quite busy lately, there will be a meteor garden hitting the screen after the concert. And [My Mustang Girlfriend] will be with you soon. Finally, my company still has a TV to shoot in the mainland, which is [The Legend of Zhen Huan]. Therefore, if I want to find a suitable opportunity from the perspective of the schedule, it is not an easy task. There is also the Spring Festival Gala, this matter, I can't refuse. ”
This time it was Takeshi Kitano who came forward, so the other party was also very generous and wanted to solve such a problem.
But what Ye Ming said was very good, this matter, Kitano Takeshi also said a little helplessly: "Ye Sang, don't be in a hurry to refuse such a thing, Spielberg's invitation is not something that anyone can have the opportunity to get." Think about it for the past two days, before Spielberg comes, think about it at this time. ”
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Since that's the case, then let's talk about this matter later, I don't know what Director Kitano thinks about such a thing." ”
Takeshi Kitano is actually a little unwilling, such as Spielberg, an international director, but he can also come to Japan to film, which is definitely a good way to improve the status of the Japanese entertainment industry.
Therefore, even Takeshi Kitano is quite thoughtful about such a thing.
He was contacted by Spielberg with a lot of actors and crew or something. I just thought that Spielberg would be filming soon after he came.
Ye Ming's matter, but said that he didn't expect the result, someone can refuse Spielberg's golden greeting, this matter itself is a matter worth paying attention to, and what kind of person Ye Ming is, everyone knows very clearly at these times. (To be continued......)
