Since Coppola is here, he naturally wants to play a certain role, at this time he looked at yesterday's replay and said: "There is a certain gap in the performance, you and Andy are too much, and the rest of the actors are not performing well." The two of you should be a little more convergent. ”

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I understand that it's too much, but speaking of which, there is basically not much difference between my acting skills and Andy's, does this swallow also have to be restrained?"

No matter what kind of movie it is, there must always be some merits, and in such a situation, at this time, I think Andy and I try to be as good as possible, which should be helpful for the whole movie. ”

At this time, Coppola shook his head and said: "Things are not what you think, a person's acting skills, if the opponent's acting skills are too bad, you have to suppress and suppress a little, otherwise there is no way to get the best effect." This is a balancing act.

On the contrary, in a play, the same is true. You and Andy are rivals, and your acting skills are not much different, there is nothing wrong with this, but if you compare the roles of the two of you with other actors, it can be seen that the acting skills of the two of you are much higher than the rest of the crew, which forms a huge contrast, which has an occasional impact on the overall effect of the movie, therefore, the two of you are both to converge some of your own acting skills.

You have to remember that in Hollywood, there is a habit that the best is not necessarily the most suitable. Sometimes the Oscar actor has to suppress his acting skills for the sake of a movie, let alone you. ”

The best may not be the most suitable, Ye Ming is very clear about this, for example, in the countryside. Driving a Ferrari sports car, you may not be more practical than driving a tractor, the potholed roads in the countryside, the Ferrari may not be able to drive, and the tractor does not have this problem.

This is the truth that the best is not necessarily the most suitable.

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay attention to this." How are the other actors performing, Mr. Coppola, can you give me an opinion?"

At this time, Coppola thought for a while and said: "Other performances, the whole is not good enough, your movie is a movie that is the nature of the underworld, although there is also an undercover policeman in your movie, in fact, the police are also playing the underworld at this time, not to mention that the underworld also has undercover agents in the police."

Therefore, at this time, it can be seen that your movie is relatively gray, therefore, the overall performance style of this movie is the tragic kind. But the other actors seem to be saying that the movie is performed as a hero film, the underworld boss acts like a policeman, and the police act like a gangster.

And the bald one, the performance is even more exaggerated, please, it's not that you want to perform comedy, this movie doesn't need any sense of humor, even if it has a sense of humor. That's just cold humor, and there's no better sense of humor.

What the whole movie needs is a gray component. Remember, even if it's a police officer, it needs to fit the theme of Infernal Affairs. ”

At this time, Ye Ming nodded solemnly and said, "It's done, don't worry about this, I will let them pay attention to this." How is Fan Binbin's appearance, what do you think of this girl?"

Coppola smiled and said: "The girl is very beautiful, at least, this is also a plus, any movie is indispensable vase." Whether it's science fiction, supernatural, or yes, history, urban and other themes. ”

For Fan Binbin, Coppola still really has nothing to say, acting, forget it, although Fan Binbin's acting skills have improved, but to be honest, the acting skills of a person who serves dishes in a hotel in Hollywood are better than this girl.

It is not worth Coppola's evaluation at all, if it weren't for Ye Ming's emphasis on mentioning Fan Binbin, Coppola would not have thought about such a problem at this time.

Hearing this, Ye Ming loosened his shoulders and said that he understood what Coppola meant.

At this time, Coppola said very solemnly: "Director Ye, I know that you want to shoot this movie well, but if you want to win any good results in the West, you need to pay attention to the highlights." ”

At this time, Ye Ming was engrossed in listening to the answer to this question, what he wanted was actually such an answer, Coppola, but one of the four major directors in Hollywood, his experience is what Ye Ming needs the most, and his aesthetic concept is also very needed by oriental films.

At this time, Coppola was silent for a while and said: "One is the publicity channel, in fact, there are two or three movie scripts that can be called classics every year in the world, pay attention, this can only be said to be a script, but among these scripts, one or two out of ten can be shot into movies, which is already quite good."

And I'm talking about this number in Hollywood, if it's in your East, it's low, which makes people feel pitiful.

Among these two classic scripts, in fact, they can really be released and become classics that everyone knows, that is, there are only one or two of them, why, because movies need to be promoted and distributed, there is an unwritten unspoken rule in Hollywood, that is, in such a situation, the general crew will retain one-tenth of the funds, at least one-tenth of the distribution funds.

In your Chinese words, the aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys. Publicity, of course, you don't have to worry, Huayi Brothers is the best in terms of publicity. There is also a second point, that is, in the West, tragedy is more acceptable, and the reflection on human nature, the reflection on fate, which is quite important. Westerners agree with this, and tragedy is more in line with their character.

Therefore, if you want to achieve any good results in this movie, then don't put the style of this movie closer to comedy, otherwise you will die a very miserable death. ”

This is the advice of a great director, and this kind of advice seems a little precious to Ye Ming.

Therefore, Ye Ming said very modestly: "Thank you, Mr. Coppola, it is an honor for us to invite you to our crew as the artistic director. ”

Coppola waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this, one is that Ai Qiuhua and I have a good relationship, and the other is that your book really attracts me, and it does have the potential to become a classic, and I don't want such a good movie to be buried."

I hope you can break the fateful arrangement and be able to make an oriental film that is recognized by Westerners. Actually, I can't help you much, that is, verbal guidance, what really needs to work hard is actually you and your crew, young man, come on, I'm optimistic about you, but you have to remember one sentence, it's too much. ”

Coppola is the artistic director, but he doesn't always stay in the crew, in fact, the artistic director is also in the mainland and Hong Kong City, at this time, if the artistic director is in the mainland, it is more of an honorary title, such as the leader of the Radio and Television Bureau, the art everyone or something, please come over may not be helpful, but at least you can use the name of the leader, isn't it?

For example, a TV series of Tianchaotai, I went, the chief producer of the cartoon of Journey to the West is actually the director of Tianchaotai, but does the director know what a cartoon is?

There's nothing about this, there's no problem if you don't understand it, anyway, someone in the underground understands it, and the cartoon of Journey to the West also wants to use the name of the director. Naturally, part of the credit should be given to the leader.

And Coppola's artistic director is obviously not very qualified, of course, he stayed in the crew for at least two days, and he gave some advice, in such a situation, it can be regarded as relatively dedicated.

At least it's not a layman commanding an insider. But it is impossible for Coppola to always stay in the crew, after sending Coppola away, Fan Binbin stood aside and said curiously: "Brother Ming, what did you and Mr. Coppola say, Hollywood directors, godfather, that's a classic movie, a movie that teachers often use as demonstrations when I was in school." I didn't expect to be able to see director Coppola in our crew. ”

At this time, a look of admiration flashed in Fan Binbin's eyes. Ye Ming said with a smile: "Talking about our movie, Mr. Coppola gave us some opinions, and besides, Mr. Coppola and I talked about you just now." ”

At this time, Fan Binbin was even more excited: "Talking about me? You actually talked to Mr. Coppola about me, what kind of evaluation did he have for me?" ”

Ye Ming smiled and didn't tell the truth, but said with a smile: "Mr. Coppola said, you are very beautiful, this is your biggest advantage." ”

Of course, this is Shi Hua, but Coppola's meaning is actually that Fan Binbin is a vase, which Fan Binbin did not say.

Just when Fan Binbin was excited, Xu Zheng walked over with his head a little dejected and said: "Director, tell you a bad news, we told Brother Cheng Long that Brother Cheng Long has a schedule to come over to shoot his scene today, but the two location cars we booked in the film and television city yesterday are gone, I heard the staff say that they were driven away by the crew of the chivalrous woman, this is looking down on our crew." ”

This matter, Xu Zheng naturally said that he was very depressed, he did this thing himself, and he also set the car, and now there are some problems, which have a certain impact on the crew, which may not even be able to shoot the role of Brother Cheng Long, so, do you have to wait for the big brother to have a schedule again?

God knows when Brother Cheng Long will have a schedule next time. (To be continued......)
