Chapter 1144: Zhang Yimou's Invitation

The first of the Ten Commandments, there is no true God except me, this sentence, if it is changed to Huaxia words, translates to Lao Tzu is the first in the world, plus I would rather bear the people of the world than the people of the world bear me.

Anyway, this sentence is interpreted like this, which is more correct. Hollywood is actually like this, those who follow me prosper and those who disobey me die, and those who are disobedient and easy to handle are squeezed out, such as Ye Ming, a powerful hob meat, the kind that is soft and hard and does not eat, direct co-optation is the best way. And Li Lianjie, people simply return to Huaxia and stop playing, which is the ultimate in Chinese Taoist kung fu.

Anyway, you have thousands of them, and if I don't beg you for a penny, what can you do to me. This is Li Lianjie's current state.

And with the signing of Li Lianjie and the [Hero] crew, the whole thing has settled. At this time, Zhang Yimou directly found Ye Ming and said unceremoniously: "Ye Ming, Li Lianjie has played the protagonist of the hero movie, at this time, there is still a supporting role, if you are not willing to play the protagonist, then it should be no problem to play a supporting role at this time." ”

Ye Ming immediately shook his head and said: "If you are not afraid of messing up this movie, then I will play a role, I know which role you want me to play, I think it is better for Donnie Yen." I'm not going to act. ”

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, this Ye Ming is different from the Ye Ming he knows, Ye Ming, this guy, in such a situation, is a very headache existence, no matter what it is, as long as Ye Ming decides that he will always have to fight, and it means that if Ye Ming is determined to fight, then at such a time, there is no person who looks like Ye Ming's opponent, in such a situation, Ye Ming is the most powerful. The invincible kind of powerful momentum bursts out, and can almost completely destroy any opponent.

This kind of fighting spirit is vividly displayed in Ye Ming. This is the most terrifying thing about Ye Ming, it can be said that Ye Ming can have this kind of fame in the world, all of which he won by himself, from South Korea. To Japan, from Venice, to Oscar, all the way, he insisted on his ideals.

In the West, Ye Ming's sharp personal heroism is very popular.

A filmmaker, if he can have such an angular character in such a thing, then in such a thing. That's half the battle. And now looking at Ye Ming, it seems that there is no such character at all.

At this time, Ye Ming said that he seemed to be more relenting, which was different from Ye Ming's real character. Therefore, Zhang Yimou looked at Ye Ming curiously and said, "This thing doesn't look like your character, you are not the kind of person who retreats." Tell me what's going on inside?"

Zhang Yimou was very curious about this matter, Ye Ming became so polite, it seemed impossible.

Ye Ming said helplessly: "Director Zhang." I'm really good for you in this matter, this movie of yours is actually starring Li Lianjie. He is the real protagonist, if you are looking for an actor, you are looking for an actor who plays with Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie is the real center, everything is to set off Li Lianjie, therefore. If you want to find an actor, then this person's acting skills can't surpass Li Lianjie too much.

Chen Daomin and Liang Chaowei are all better acting skills than Li Lianjie, therefore. If your movie wants to highlight Li Lianjie's personal character, then in such a thing, Chen Daomin is playing a role like Qin Shi Huang, the emperor, there is nothing with a bigger aura, if Mr. Chen lets go of acting, it is at least reasonable on the screen, at least Qin Shi Huang can't be afraid when he sees the nameless guy.

Teacher Chen is quite suitable, but Liang Chaowei, this person's acting skills are also higher than Li Lianjie, if it is said that the two of them have a rivalry, then basically as long as the two of them are in one shot, Li Lianjie is definitely suppressed, unless it is in kung fu, Li Lianjie can completely explode Liang Chaowei, if you say that there is one more me, the acting skills of both of them are higher than Li Lianjie, this movie is three supporting roles are more dramatic than the leading actors, plus a Zhang Yanyu, Li Lianjie has no room to show at all.

Therefore, on such a problem, I can't appear in this movie, it's still Donnie Yen, his acting skills are not good enough, but his kung fu is still good, he is more suitable for playing the role of Changkong.

It's definitely a very difficult question for you, so you should think about what you should do, right?"

In the same movie, if it is said that the acting skills of the leading actor are not as good as the supporting roles, it is not without a solution, just don't let the protagonist and the supporting characters meet, if they are not in front of the same camera, then at this time, even if there is a gap in acting skills, it is easy to see how big the gap is, unless it is a huge gap between a group performance and a superstar.

But Li Lianjie, the protagonist, is mainly a duel with the remnant sword in the sky, plus a Qin Shi Huang, it is impossible for the four of them to have no rivalry, in such a case, the director's means are quite important.

If it is said that in such a situation, the supporting role always suppresses the protagonist, it is the failure of the director, and in the end it will lead to the failure of the movie.

In addition to the fact that the storyline is not good enough and makes people feel that the whole movie is an old lady's footcloth, which is smelly and long, in fact, a large part of it is because the acting skills of the leading actor can't do the acting skills of the supporting roles, which is also a very important reason for the failure of the Wind Talker.

To say that this is a failure of director Wu Yusen in choosing a role is not to say that there is nothing wrong with it. If you ask Willis as the protagonist, then it is estimated that the evaluation and box office of this movie will be higher, Willis is the kind of guy who plays the policeman, sometimes with a little stinginess, and will only fight back when he is forced into a corner.

Naturally, there is no such thing as acting, it is definitely above the level of the first line.

And in such a thing, Ye Ming saw the movie [Hero], in fact, it also has such shortcomings, Li Lianjie's acting skills are not too bad, but if it is compared with Chen Daomin and Liang Chaowei, then the result at this time is what everyone does not want to see.

The acting skills of the three people are not on the same level. And the question raised by Ye Ming, Zhang Yimou actually didn't take it as a thing at first. But on final thought, it seems that such a thing is really the case, and in any case, at this time, he himself must consider this problem.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou pondered for a moment, frowned and said, "The acting skills of the three people are a problem." But the three of them have signed contracts, and even said that Zhang Yanyu's acting skills are better than Li Lianjie, she also signed a contract, only Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are not as good as Li Lianjie.

Well, Zhang Yanyu is okay to say, just don't let her have a rivalry with Li Lianjie, she has an unclear relationship with Liang Chaowei, and it is no problem to let them play more rivalry. didn't let Zhang Yanyu and Li Lianjie have a rivalry, which dealt with the gap in acting skills very well.

As for Liang Chaowei. This is not very easy to do, the story is like this, Nameless must have a fight with the remnant sword, there must be a rivalry, this Li Lianjie is impossible to escape. It's not easy to do. ”

The problem is that several people have signed a contract, and now even if you want to change the contract, it is not an easy problem. After thinking for a while, Zhang Yimou glanced at Ye Ming and said, "Yezi." Since you say that you have seen such a problem, what do you think at this time? Don't say you don't, you can see that there is a solution, there are many Hollywood big-name stars who make cameo appearances in movies, and people also have solutions, you should be more familiar with this matter than me. ”

It's a fact that Hollywood's 20 million pay club superstars. It's not that they all star, for example, Hollywood superstar Schwarzenegger, maybe Uncle Shi is an antique-level superstar, but his influence is undoubted.

For example, at this time, people made a cameo appearance in a movie [Batman and Freeze Man], which seemed to take more than 20 days. took 25 million in salary, saying that in terms of momentum, Schwarzenegger absolutely beat George Clooney, even in terms of acting skills, Schwarzenegger is better than George Clooney, how to adjust the contrast between the two at this time is the dilemma of Director Dog.

Of course, the result was fruitless, director Joe Schumacher completely failed, and he never made a top Hollywood blockbuster again, this is the cruelty of Hollywood, and if you fail, there is no chance to do it again, unless you are a top director, such as the existence of the four major directors.

Of course, Hollywood also has directors who are good at this method, such as Spielberg, for example, Lucas and Coppola, they are all masters in this area, and no matter how powerful the superstars are in their hands, they will be arranged very well, this is the ability.

Ye Ming has been in Hollywood for a while and has met a lot of relevant people, Zhang Yimou thinks that Ye Ming should have a way to deal with such a matter.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yimou has such a glimmer of hope, the actor cannot be changed, but how to mediate the relationship between the actors is very important.

Ye Ming thought about a plot in [Hero] for a while, and knew that Zhang Yimou actually found a solution to the problem in the end, and finally hesitated for a moment and reminded him: "Li Lianjie just said that her acting skills are not good enough, not that her acting skills are poor, but they can't be compared to Liang Chaowei and Chen Daomin, but Li Lianjie actually has a strong place, such as kung fu, Li Lianjie's kung fu has a strong blessing for acting skills, and compared with Liang Chaowei, you can make a fuss about kung fu." As for the comparison with Chen Daomin, when the two meet, let there be an extra candle in the middle, so that the candle can truly express the change in their mood, which will help Li Lianjie get closer to Chen Daomin in terms of acting skills, and if this continues, it will be almost possible to ease the contradiction between the acting skills of the characters. ”

This is a method that Zhang Yimou will use when filming in the future, and it is a relatively easy method to use, anyway, Zhang Yimou will think of it, and now tell him that it is just a personal favor.

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "This method is good, this method is good, I will use this method to shoot later." The remaining supporting roles have not been selected yet, so I will find a few actors with more average acting skills but older qualifications to play them, so that the difference in acting skills between the leading and supporting roles can also be eased. ”

As long as it can be good for the movie, then at this time, it is a test of understanding to find a few actors with general acting skills. Moreover, in the Chinese entertainment industry, there are many such actors, after all, not every veteran actor has good enough acting skills, so on such a problem, finding a few such people will indeed play a balancing role.

And in such a matter, Zhang Yimou is obviously a veteran, and he is still relatively experienced in dealing with this kind of thing. Glancing at Ye Ming, Zhang Yimou said, "If I give you a supporting role that has no intersection with Li Lianjie, will you star in this movie?"

Being able to bring in Ye Ming, a superstar, is also a good promotion for the movie, even if it is a friendly cameo, it is necessary to find Ye Ming to come over to participate in the performance, and his acting skills are better than Li Lianjie, so there is no problem, just list a role separately.

Ye Ming thought about it for a while: "There is no problem with this, a cameo role is done, there are not too many scenes, isolated roles, it is best to be able to finish filming in two or three days." ”

At this time, Zhang Yimou seemed to hear what Ye Ming was saying, and immediately said: "Aren't you just running a man's variety show? It seems that you are not much busy, you are a group of people, you can't say anything by yourself, right?"

Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is not true, but Roland Emmerich said that he made a movie, and it is also a science fiction movie in Hollywood, and he wants me to play a role, I will ponder the elements and take a look, if there is a chance, I will compete for one of the roles." ”

Roland Emmerich was also in a relationship with Ye Ming, and at that time Emmerich discussed with Ye Ming for the sake of the script, Ye Ming suggested that he use the scene of the final duel in the New York library, and this result was accepted by Emmerich.

And when he finally designed the script, Emmerich also saw that the homeless people taught it, which was more suitable for Ye Ming, so he invited Ye Ming to audition.

Hollywood has Hollywood rules, their directors will be very big in terms of rights, they can choose their favorite actor, whether the actor is American, European or Chinese, and Ye Ming, a person who happens to have a good relationship with the director, and is the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, so this fully proves that Ye Ming's acting skills are impeccable.
