Opportunity, as the day of the Olympic bid approaches, at this time, the Olympic Bidding Committee is almost using all means to promote the Beijing Olympic Games.

Ye Ming can be said to agree if he doesn't agree, this is a task, and he can't refuse, so Ye Ming knows that he can't refuse, but he wants to get enough benefits for himself.

After all, if the movie "Millionaire in the Slums" is filmed, it will cause some trouble, and it is not even impossible to transfer to Port City to shoot at that time, but with the nod of the people above, this matter will be much easier.

Los Angeles, Ye Ming stayed at the Hilton Hotel, which was the official reception hotel for the Grammy Awards this time.

The organizers of the Grammy Awards have chartered three floors of rooms for guests to live in, which really looks rich. And when Ye Ming just arrived in New York, the first guest he greeted was not from the organizer of the Grammy Awards, but Howard, the agent of William Morris's agency.

Because some of Ye Ming's contracts are taken care of by his own company, Howard, the agent, seems to be a little unqualified.

Ye Ming glanced at Howard and said, "As an agent, you don't care about your artist's work at all, this is your mistake, do you have any good announcements this time that can bring me a surprise?"

For a long time, William Morris Company has not treated Ye Ming as the main object, although it has signed a contract with Ye Ming, but it is not that it attaches great importance to him, which is a very strange phenomenon.

The purpose is just to occupy some famous artists in the Chinese entertainment industry. Therefore, when he saw Howard, Ye Ming's demeanor was obviously not very satisfied.

Howard smiled and said, "This thing." Of course, I came this time, in fact, I want to talk to you about a problem, the copyright of Harry Potter should be in your hands, the company hopes that when the second Harry Potter part starts filming, the company's own artists can participate. ”

This time. The success of Harry Potter has made Hollywood shift its attention to this movie. The first Harry Potter and the Wizard made Warner Bros. a lot of money. It's very enviable.

But there is another person who is even more enviable, that is Ye Ming, a movie star in Huaxia, but he took the copyright of Harry Potter early. In other words, every penny earned by Warner had to be given to Ye Ming.

This is very unpleasant. The people of William Morris Company also value this business opportunity, hoping that Howard can persuade Ye Ming to give his company's artists a chance.

Ye Ming sneered a little angrily and said, "This, it seems, the people in the company are a little upside down." You should give me a lot of work hard for my movies, but now you haven't won me even a role in Hollywood's A-level production, even a small supporting role, I haven't seen it, and now the people in the company are saying that I should arrange roles in other movies, do you think Warner Bros. are stupid?"

Howard seemed to have known about this for a long time, and said with a smile: "The company naturally has a plan for this matter." Because Rowling and Ms. Rowling have signed a contract with our company, you just need to nod your head. Then the rest can be operated by the right people in the company. ”

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is the attention of which bastard, you can go back and beat his ass." It's just a bully, although I have the copyright to Harry Potter, but it is also a contract, and now I just signed the second film copyright to Warner Bros., we have a contract. I have the right to speak in the matter of choosing a role, and I also have the right to recommend, but I don't have the right to decide, if it is my personal friend, then maybe I have no problem introducing the past.

But think about it. William Morris artist: If I introduce the past, it's business-to-business. I can't do that under the contract. ”

Howard said a little stubbornly: "Don't worry about this, the company will give you a certain amount of compensation, such as upgrading your contract, now your contract with Zhang Ziyi is the same, this thing is done, the company can upgrade your contract to the same level as Cheng Long, which is almost under the top superstar." Don't you want to go into Hollywood? When the time comes, the company will do everything to help you. ”

If you are obedient, then everyone will be happy, but if you are disobedient, then it will not be so easy for you to develop in Hollywood.

Regarding this threat, Ye Ming also didn't care at all and said: "Mr. Howard, you go back and look at the contract for this matter, give me a chance to perform in at least a supporting role in an A-level movie for half a year, this is in the contract, if you don't do it, I can terminate the contract, and even let you make compensation, or, I'll call the actors' union and ask their lawyer to talk to you, do you still have it?"

Ye Ming looked at his watch and said, "There are less than four hours to do this, but according to my understanding, there is no A-level movie in Hollywood that recruits actors, so it is certain that you have violated the contract."

Now you still have the heart to threaten me, and you are really convinced. ”

Contract, this is the basis of a qiē, at least in the United States, on the surface, if it is said that things are not done according to the contract, then the law will tell him what the result is.

Therefore, even if it is Ye Ming, he will not casually violate the contract to install an artist from William Morris on Harry Potter's side.

Of course, he was able to sign the second Harry Potter movie version to Warner Bros., that was because Warner Bros. promised to transfer part of his Apple stock to Brilliant Film and Television at a low price, otherwise, Ye Ming's temper would not be Warner Bros. at all, Hollywood studios are not interested in this movie.

Howard's face changed, but he was surprised and said, "Is it true? Is there such a clause in the contract?"

Howard was a veteran and didn't believe that the company would go wrong like this.

Ye Ming said with great certainty: "Actor immunity, Hollywood Actors Guild, a new clause proposed during the 2,000-year strike, is to ensure that actors will have a chance to appear on camera within a certain period of time, which is mainly for those not very famous actors to starve to death, and you treat me as an unfamous actor, this contract naturally has such a clause."

There must be no mistake, in the lower eighty-four clause on page thirteen, and the supplementary clause in the third item. Mr. Howard, what you're worried about now is not whether I say yes or not, but whether or not I'll get a lawyer's letter from the Screen Actors Guild. ”

In Hollywood, the Screen Actors Guild and the Screenwriters Guild basically go on strike every few years because of the issue of treatment, of course, such strikes are big and small.

Well, that's not necessarily, some really want to improve the treatment, and some just want to make their voices heard. Anyway, they often make trouble, so even Howard has quite a headache for these two unions.

Since Ye Ming said that there is such a clause, then there must be, but because the people in the company did not pay attention to it, an Asian star really would not be placed in the eyes of the people of William Morris.

It's perfectly normal to give a contract like this. In fact, even if it is said that Howard himself, when he went to sign a contract with Ye Ming, that is to say, he took out a standard contract from the company and set off, because he believed in the contract given by the company, but he didn't look at it carefully, but said that Ye Ming, for such a thing, it is really clear to remember.

Back at the office, Rowling is waiting for news from Howard, as well as Rowling's agent, Ms. Jenny. After Jenny saw Howard's expression, she knew that this matter was not very smooth, she brought over a cup of coffee and said: "Howard, I knew that this thing would not be so easy to do, rest assured, as long as Ye Ming's contract is still with us, then it is impossible for him to get rid of the influence of William Morris."

The influence of Harry Potter is something we didn't expect, so in such a thing, we have lost the opportunity, so we have to take it slowly, there will always be opportunities. ”

Howard said with great certainty: "This thing is not as optimistic as you think, when we signed the contract, we were holding a new version of 2,000 years, which bastard gave me the latest version of the contract." ”

Jenny actually didn't understand and said, "Is there a change in the latest version?

Howard was very frustrated and said: "You seem to have forgotten this, in order to fight for your own interests, the people of the Screen Actors Guild went on strike last year, and finally the latest version of the contract appeared, in the lower eighty-four clause on page thirteen, and the supplementary clause in the third item. Actor immunity, which is for third-rate stars, is just a general contract for us.

But those people from the copyright department gave this contract on the grounds that Ye Ming is a star in the Asia-Pacific region, and there is an actor exemption, and within half a year, we can't find a role for Ye Ming in an A-level blockbuster zuò, then he has the right to terminate the contract, and he has the right to compensate us. Now there are just over two hours left until half a year, and we simply won't be able to complete the task. (To be continued......)
