Chapter 149: Have You Broken the Rules of the Entertainment Industry?
When Zhang Yibai heard such a question, he immediately realized one thing, that is, there was a mole in his crew.
It is difficult for outsiders to know the details of inviting Ye Ming to play in a short period of time. But at this moment, the reporter actually said that he had mastered the matter.
Therefore, Zhang Yibai was a little caught off guard and said: "This matter is a commercial secret, and the time is not yet ripe, so it is inconvenient for me to answer such a question." ”
However, to be sent back so easily by a trade secret, such a person is a reporter who cannot be called "Southern Sunday".
It can be said that the current reporters of [Southern Sunday] are characters who dare to fight and rush, all of them have unique skills, even Lao Bai, who has always been not very good at dealing with Ye Ming, is also very famous in the entertainment circle in Beijing.
Therefore, at this time, the female reporter was not discouraged and said: "Director Zhang, this can't be said to be a trade secret, and I have no intention of inquiring about your company's trade secrets." But this is also a problem involving other crews.
People can't invite Ye Ming for 8,000 yuan per episode, if it is said that Ye Ming will come over to make a film, this matter is a little puzzling. Mr. Ye Ming, you are breaking the rules by doing this. ”
directly pointed the finger at Ye Ming, since he was talking about Zhang Yibai's old treacherous and cunning, then at such a time, he simply picked up this matter and asked Ye Ming himself. It is impossible for Ye Ming to avoid this question, and he will not be able to avoid this question, otherwise, at such a time, he will not be mixed in this circle in the future.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "Actually, this is a not very mature idea, originally, I wanted to experiment first, if it succeeds, then share the experience with everyone, if it fails, then I will bear the consequences alone." Actually, this is a new attempt, and there is nothing wrong with it, I did not want to appear in this TV series for a penny. ”
At this moment, there was a lot of discussion in the audience, even the female reporter of [Southern Sunday] was simply caught off guard by Ye Ming's at the moment. If it is said that Ye Ming defends himself in every possible way, then the female reporter has already thought of various ways to deal with it.
However, she never expected that Ye Ming would admit such a thing so decisively. This is not scientific, what does he want to do, whether he wants to make a TV series in the future, if the rules are broken, no one will invite him in the future.
After a long time, the female reporter asked: "Mr. Ye, it is said that someone has already asked you to film, why would you agree to appear in this drama for free?"
Ye Ming immediately pointed at the female reporter and said: "This lady pays attention to your words, I mean I don't want a penny of salary, not to say that I will appear in this drama for free." Actually, I have participated in investing in this drama, and my salary is tied to this drama, if it is said that the ratings of this drama are good after it is broadcast, then my income will be greater.
How to say it, it is similar to Director Feng Xiaogang's [Party A and Party B] method, Director Feng didn't ask for any salary, but received remuneration according to the box office of the movie. ”
These words shocked all the reporters present, don't get paid, participate in investment, and make money according to the ratings. This is something that has never happened again in the entertainment industry in the mainland. At least there is still no one in the TV industry who dares to participate in a TV series in such an avant-garde way.
Because even if it is the opening drama of Tianchaotai, it can be regarded as carefully selected, but there are many dismal ratings. Therefore, at this time, celebrities generally charge a fixed salary to perform when they appear in TV series.
One-third of the contract is charged, one-third is charged in the middle of the shooting, and one-third of the last is charged after the shooting.
People in the circle do this, but there is no rule that celebrities can't participate in the investment of TV dramas.
At this time, the female reporter was in a trance: "This, Mr. Ye's method has never appeared again, and it is quite fresh." ”
Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is also following the trend of the times, it just so happens that I have a film and television company, which is now Brilliant Film and Television, I have a company, so I will follow the investment, anyway, the people in the company are idle." Is there anything else this lady can ask about?"
In fact, most of the reporters present got the news, in fact, they were all rushing to the blockbuster news that Ye Ming participated in the shooting of [Carry Love to the End] for free, of course, some people came for the grievances of Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo, these two people have a bad relationship, and it is basically no secret in the circle.
Therefore, the two of them are in the same crew, which means that there will definitely be a good show to watch.
However, as a result, Ye Ming suddenly threw out the investment [Carry out the love to the end], people invested it themselves, not to mention that they don't want a penny, even if they say that they will stick the money upside down, you can't control it. Don't think that TV dramas won't post money, TV series don't lose money one or two.
And the contradiction between Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo, who everyone has high hopes for, is also because of Mao Duoduo's absence, and there is no progress. It is even said that some reporters believe that Mao Duoduo's absence was arranged by the crew, the purpose is to prevent reporters from discovering some contradictions between Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo.
The next day, the major media began to report one after another, one is the female reporter of [Southern Sunday] [Ye Ming participated in [Jiang Ai] without pay, is it innovation, or hype?] This media adheres to the consistent pattern of Ye Minghei, anyway, the news that is beneficial to Ye Ming is generally brought by the Spring and Autumn penmanship, and the news that is unfavorable to Ye Ming is definitely a big book in such a situation.
There is also a report by [Shanghai Entertainment] [Mao Duoduo and Ye Ming compete on the same stage, Mao Duoduo said that he was absent from the press conference], this manuscript focuses on excavating the contradictions between the crew, Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo.
Anyway, at this time, Jin Jianlin looked at the report, and his mood was not very good, he said a little angrily: "Lao Zhang, this thing is not good, the focus of the media is on Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo, and there is not much attention to our new drama, if it goes on like this, who will buy our TV series." Are you going to make some news? ”
Zhang Yibai said with a smile: "You, you still don't know some of the rules in this circle, what are we asking Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo to do, just to attract everyone's attention, in such a situation, the more the media pays attention to them, then in such a situation, the more favorable things are for us." Paying attention to the two of them is actually paying attention to our crew, don't you understand this?"
Ye Ming is the current protagonist of [Carry out Love to the End], and Mao Duoduo is also an important supporting role in it, paying attention to the two of them is actually paying attention to the crew of [Carry Love to the End].
In a café in Shanghai that can overlook the entire Bund, Ye Ming and Zhao Wei are enjoying this rare leisure time, rolling the Yangtze River east, accompanied by the sunset on the riverside, you can see that the endless river water is easily passing through this bustling city, spinning, not taking away any sadness, not taking away any loneliness, calm as if a flowing jade.
The sunset dyed the water surface of the riverside red, sparkling, as if to gild everything on the river with a little red, and the beauty makes people want to lock this moment in their hearts and keep it for a long time. At this time, Zhao Wei sighed and said: "You are a person, you will make trouble for yourself, you say that you will participate in the shares, you are still bright, and you can say it yourself, isn't this asking for trouble for yourself?"
How many people hate you and grit your teeth, actors get a fixed salary, this is the usual practice in the circle, you say, you do it like this, do you mean that you are a little idle and panicked. ”
Ye Ming smiled, he didn't take such a thing as a thing at all, as if this matter was not provoked by him at all. He smiled and put down the coffee in his hand and said, "Don't you think that some things in this circle need to be reformed?"
Besides, I won't say anything about that situation at that time, but the director will say it too. Zhao Wei shook his head and said: "Naturally, it's different, if your director says this, the responsibility is the most on his back, but if you say it yourself, then everyone will aim at you."
How many actors expect this fixed salary to eat, you play, there will be many people who will not have food in the future. You say, can others not hate you for such a thing as cutting off people's financial routes?"
Ye Ming said very affirmatively: "Don't worry, the director may do that in the future, but there are few actors who can do that, and I didn't think of making a bird, and it is impossible for them to find me if they want to find me in the future."
Most actors will still get a fixed salary. By the way, how do you feel, I said, in Treasure Island, now [Huanzhu Gege] is not an ordinary popularity, now if you go to Treasure Island, you will enjoy the treatment of a first-line star, or even a superstar. ”
Speaking of this situation, Zhao Wei said happily: "It's really like a dream, I didn't expect that a Qing court drama filmed under such conditions would have such a strong reaction." At least, now, I'm in the crew, and I don't have to look at people's faces. It's a little unaccustomed. ”
This is not Zhao Wei's pretentiousness, in front of an old friend like Ye Ming, there is no need for her to be pretentious, this is just a feeling, Zhao Wei's second TV series can actually be so popular that it soars into the sky, this is simply saying that she is riding a rocket and becoming popular. It is reasonable that she could not bear this kind of treatment for a while.
