When he arrived at the office, Chairman Liu beckoned Ye Ming to sit down, and did not let the secretary in, some things, the less people know, the better, even if it is, the secret technique, it is best not to let them know if they can not know. Chairman Liu brought two cups of tea, one cup per person, West Lake Longjing, overflowing with fragrance, and suddenly the office was filled with attractive tea fragrance.

At this moment, Ye Ming was also slowly sipping tea and said, "Liu Dong, what is the matter with me coming over, it won't be specially for you to drink tea, right?"

Of course not, no matter what it is, Chairman Liu didn't have the idleness to ask Ye Mingkai to drink tea, obviously, drinking tea is just an excuse.

There must be something very important, and it is not easy to say it directly, therefore, Chairman Liu meant to visit Ye Ming, but Ye Ming is more good at being a person, so he came directly.

Therefore, Chairman Liu felt that he had a lot of face, and Ye Ming came over in person, which is also something worth showing off in the circle, after all, Ye Ming has reached this point, in the Chinese entertainment industry, that is, a few people can suppress Ye Ming by virtue of their qualifications.

Chairman Liu said very seriously: "I have just been notified of this matter, so I am busy contacting you to see how to deal with this matter, Pearl Harbor has already set a release date."

And I also heard that your movie is going to confront Pearl Harbor head-on, and it has been spread all over the entertainment industry. There's always nothing wrong with that, right?"

This is one of the things that Chairman Liu has to determine first, of course, if Ye Ming says these words in public, he will naturally do what he says, otherwise he will not say it in front of reporters. But Chairman Liu still had to hear Ye Ming's confirmation before he dared to say it.

At this time, hearing Chairman Liu's question, Ye Ming said very simply: "There is no problem with this matter." It was true that it was going to collide with Pearl Harbor, but it wasn't what I wanted, it just happened to happen.

To be honest, an urban movie, a war movie, basically the audience is still relatively hierarchical. There's no competition for an audience. ”

This is just Ye Ming's words, and the people in the circle are very clear why Ye Ming arranged a schedule like Pearl Harbor, doesn't it mean that Han Shanping decided to confront Ye Ming head-on against Pearl Harbor, in fact, at such a time, if the two movies of Pearl Harbor and Ye Ming's Millionaire in the Slums are said to be a positive resistance, the result of the struggle is related to the issue of China's film quota.

If Ye Ming says that he has won, it means that domestic films have made progress. This protection is effective, and the country will continue to protect domestic films, but if it is said that Pearl Harbor won, then at this time, it shows that the protection of the national team's Chinese films has no effect, and imported films will increase.

Therefore, with this layer of consideration, the confrontation between Ye Ming's movie and Pearl Harbor will attract everyone's attention very much.

And I heard Ye Ming say the news in person. Chairman Liu said very regretfully: "I guess you will not be untargeted, in fact, the news I got is just that." When the time comes, the share of your film will be the same, and the starting share will be thirty, which is considered fair competition. ”

The starting quota is actually the proportion of movies shown in cinemas at the beginning, for example, a cinema has ten movie halls. The proportion of domestic movies and imported blockbusters is not the same, if two movies are released at the same time.

The two blockbusters, because of the domestic protection regulations, are generally domestic thirty. Twenty of imports. That is to say, three domestic films will be screened, two imported films will be screened, and the rest will naturally be divided between other domestic and imported films.

This is the unspoken rule of the starting quota. Of course, this is not necessarily accurate, but in general, everyone is released at the same time according to the domestic blockbuster and the imported blockbuster of the same period, and the general domestic blockbuster is about 10% higher than the initial share of imported blockbusters.

At this time, Ye Ming was a little annoyed: "The same starting quota, this thing is not in accordance with the rules, doesn't it mean that the starting share of our domestic films is generally higher than that of imported films?"

Basically, this is a bully, so it's strange that Ye Ming isn't annoyed? Chairman Liu said with a very helpless look: "It's really hard for me to say why, this is the decision from above, and I have just been notified."

Moreover, not only me, but also many movie theater chains have also received the same notice, so it is estimated that by then, your two movies will definitely have the same starting share. But you don't have to look for it, I got the news, I asked a friend about it, and it was someone from Disney who protested to us.

Since it is said that everyone is confronted, there must be a level playing field, and at such a time, it is inevitable that the same cinema will be screened. Therefore, the leadership above decided that everyone is 30 percent, which is very fair. ”

Ye Ming patted the table and said: "Are they embarrassed to say that this thing is fair? This is obviously bullying, how much is our movie, more than 20,000 yuan is less than 30 million, but how much is Pearl Harbor, converted into Huaxia yuan, it is almost 1 billion, they are embarrassed to say that it is the same fair competition as us, and the leaders above are also in the water of their brains, and they will have a decision." ”

At this time, Chairman Liu hurriedly waved his hand and immediately said: "Don't say that, let's just talk about it in private, there's nothing to say, but if you say something like this on other occasions, it's somewhat inappropriate." Leaders have the consideration of leaders, therefore, in such a situation, we will have such a decision, you have to understand the difficulties of leadership. ”

Ye Ming knew that once such a thing was decided, then in such a situation, it would definitely be implemented seriously.

Maybe some things in Huaxia may be relatively procrastinated, but only the things ordered by the leader are done very quickly, which Ye Ming is very clear about, he himself is a person in the system, so it is very clear that it is impossible for him to change this matter.

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment and said, "This matter was said by the third master, he is embarrassed to tell me." So I'm going to come to you and tell me and see how I react?"

Chairman Liu really said that he was a scapegoat, so when he heard Ye Ming guess this matter, it was in such a situation. But he immediately took himself out and said: "This, there are some things that you know in your own heart, and you should do things for the leader, in fact, even if you go to the leader, this matter cannot be changed, because this has already notified Disney." But a starting share, at least in the leadership does not seem very important. ”

Ye Ming said helplessly: "Chairman Liu." The conscience of heaven and earth, you are also an old man in the circle, why is the protection of the movie. Isn't it just to protect our domestic films? I can't take care of myself, so what do I protect?"

When people in the circle knew the news, they must have known that Ye Ming had suffered a loss.

Moreover, Ye Ming is also the director of the New Film Association, according to the agreement between them, in fact, if Ye Ming's movie is released, the cinema of the New Film Association will take care of Ye Ming's movie. At this point, Ye Ming also tasted a lot of sweetness.

But in this time. He definitely didn't expect that the people of the New Film Federation didn't dare to tear up the contract and work against him, but the words of the leader above made his efforts come to naught. At least in this regard, Ye Ming is at a loss.

If it is said that the starting share is the same, then Ye Ming is more at a loss. How could Ye Ming be willing to suffer like this. So, when he came out, he contacted Scola directly.

Scola was drinking at a winery in France at the moment, and after seeing Ye Ming's call, he answered the phone with a smile and said, "Dear Ye." You haven't called old Scola in a long time, and I thought you forgot about me, an old man?"

This is naturally impossible, there is nothing to do, Ye Ming will not call Scola casually, this time, in fact, he asked this old Hollywood filmmaker this question.

Ye Ming smiled and said, "Mr. Scola, you are so polite, I can smell the aroma of the tempting wine from such a distance, it seems that your wine is really very good." I don't know when I'll be lucky enough to be able to drink your wine. ”

Scola, who is very fond of red wine, is really interested, and said very locally: "This is easy to say, do you want to drink it, I will immediately ask someone to send you two cases of top red wine." If there's anything you want me to help with, just say that. ”

Scola is an old fox, knowing that Ye Ming called himself in this kettle, there must be difficulties that cannot be solved.

Ye Ming was also not hypocritical, and immediately said: "This matter, speaking of which, also makes me very annoyed, what kind of thing, you should know about Pearl Harbor, right?"

Scola took the red wine, watched the sunset, squinted his eyes at the afterglow of the brilliant sunset, and after bursting out of the last rays of brilliance, the sunset finally disappeared impatiently on the other side of the mountain.

Scola replied at this time: "Pearl Harbor? Michael Bay shot a blockbuster, did you invest 1.5 billion, or 1.4 billion, I forgot, I still wanted to hear me be a director at the time, but bullshit, after seeing the script, I knew that this movie was destined to hit the street, so I just ignored this matter at all and threw the script out directly." ”

Ye Ming laughed and said: "Do you also think that such a movie is a relatively garbage movie? I also think that if it weren't for the support of Disney, no fool would dare to give Michael Bay so much money to make a movie."

But this movie will come to our country, and there are some things you know, our country has film protection, which is a protection for our newly developed film industry. Therefore, at this time, it is time for imported films and domestic films to confront each other.

This time, one of my films will be starved to Pearl Harbor head-on, but originally our domestic films were screened with a discount of 10% of the starting share, but the people at Disney thought that since it was a confrontation, it was a fair start.

As a result, my film was going to be on the same starting line as Pearl Harbor. How could I be willing to do this?

Therefore, at this time, I am very depressed, how should I fight back, since the people above have been bewitched by Disney and determined that the starting share of the two movies will be the same, it will definitely not change. ”

This matter is actually a question of protection and non-protection, Ye Ming means to ask an explanation.

At such a time, one of the questions that Ye Ming really thought of was what they would do when they encountered similar problems.

As a Scola who has been in Hollywood for half his life, he should know a lot about such a thing.

At this time, Scola pondered for a while and said: "This matter is not the handiwork of Michael Bay, he does not have such a big ability, the same, he also does not have such an influence, this is the handiwork of the Disney Company, they directly protested to your country, since your leaders have decided, it is not easy to change your side."

Of course, if the United States tries to find a way, it can also recover some losses. This, I think, should be easier. ”

These words, ordinary people sound, naturally it is difficult to grasp what they mean. However, Ye Ming and Scola, who are the parties involved, actually understood what was going on very quickly after hearing the news of this Angzi.

Ye Ming immediately said: "I know, what do you mean is that in Huaxia, this can't be changed for you, then everyone is fair competition, if you want my film to be there, the United States must also have the same starting share, isn't it." "This is a direct calculation to the United States. Count theirs;

Whether it is to put forward an idea or not, just to say that there is such an idea, then in such a thing, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can think of, Scola's idea is really different from ordinary people's ideas, the world of genius, you will never understand.

Fortunately, in such a situation, Ye Ming can also be regarded as a genius, at least he can understand that Scola's trick is called drawing salary from the bottom of the kettle.

directly killed the United States, so that Disney had to defend in embarrassment. (To be continued......)
