Chapter 1107: Character Issues
in the car.
Phyllis, who was driving, saw Afra's face with her spare eyes, and her admiration for Yang Ming's talent appeared, and she couldn't help but be very curious.
Although she is nominally Afra's assistant, the two are like sisters, and they have long been inseparable like relatives, when she heard that Afra chose to terminate the contract with CAA, a group of vampires, she was very happy for Afra, but when she learned that Afra actually chose to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks, it was obviously impossible to say that there was no complaint in her heart.
With Afra's popularity in the United States and even her popularity around the world, if the news of the signing is released, even if the CAA blocks it, Phyllis believes that there will be many companies with checks to sign with Afra.
She couldn't understand why Afra would choose an entertainment company that didn't seem to have any advantages, and that the company's business was basically film-based.
In Phyllis's opinion, Afra might as well go it alone and start her own company!
It can be said that her heart is full of doubts about Oriental DreamWorks.
But after more than half a month of cooperation negotiations, as well as preparations for Afra's comeback, Phyllis's inner complaint has been slightly reduced, maybe Oriental DreamWorks' connections in the entertainment industry in the United States are not so deep, but with Barber's fame and qualifications, these are no problems for Oriental DreamWorks.
In addition, compared with other Hollywood brokerage companies, although the brokerage department of Oriental DreamWorks is not well-known and the number of people is not too large, it has a lot of experience, and basically everyone is an elite.
It's no wonder that many of the employees of Oriental DreamWorks' Hollywood company were brought over by Barber from Pan American Entertainment.
As one of the six giants of Hollywood, the people who can gain a foothold in Pan American Entertainment are naturally not ordinary staff, and everyone has outstanding professional talents.
It is very simple for Afra to sign a contract with Oriental DreamWorks, or the restrictions on Afra are very small, and the commission in terms of commercial performances is the smallest proportion in the circle, which is simply heaven and earth with CAA's commission on Afra.
"Sister Hill, is Yang Ming really as godly as the media says?" Phyllis couldn't help but ask curiously.
Knowing that the main factor why Afra chose to cooperate with Oriental DreamWorks was Yang Ming, she paid attention to this young genius from China in the news reports of the media during this period of time.
The media in the United States have a very high evaluation of this talented Chinese director.
The most important thing is that Yang Ming is a rare and very rare 'compound' star in the entertainment industry.
Whether it is movies or music, Yang Ming has good achievements, unlike other so-called three-dimensional stars, at best, they sell dog meat with a sheep's head, just blowing.
But Yang Ming is different.
In the two different types of entertainment arts, film and music, he has made amazing achievements.
And he's also a genius for originality.
Ordinary stars, even if they have good performances in movies and pop music, the works that basically make them famous are tailor-made for them by others, and once there is a lack of suitable works, then their so-called three-dimensional development is just a joke.
In fact, in the entertainment industry, even the multi-habitat stars who rely on other people's tailor-made works to become popular like this are very limited.
can act in movies well, sing really without fake singing, and have their own unique sound quality, there are really not many stars in the entertainment industry.
But Yang Ming is one of the alternatives, and the works that make him famous all over the world, whether it is film and television, or music, are all created by himself.
Self-written, self-directed and self-acted!
Lyrics, music and self-singing!
It can be said that Yang Ming is all refined, all of which are perfect, and the classics that make people amazing appear repeatedly.
Not long ago, "The Love of People and Ghosts" was still released, Phyllis went to watch it, and she also cried when she saw the end, and her curiosity about Yang Ming suddenly became very great.
Naturally, pay attention to the evaluation of Yang Ming in the media.
In this world, Huaxia and Mi are the two most powerful countries on the planet, and Huaxia has always pressed Mi on the side, and it is obviously impossible to say that there is no dirt between the two countries.
However, the political targeting between the two countries does not hinder the economic and cultural exchanges between the two countries.
Especially in terms of cultural exchanges, China has an innate advantage.
After all, the history of the United States is only two or three hundred years, and the so-called nation is just a joke, and people are immigrant countries, so they will talk about freedom and democracy every day and show their uniqueness.
China is an ancient civilization with 5,000 years of history and culture.
In terms of historical inheritance, Huaxia has crushed the rice country without any suspense, and even on some international occasions, the officials of Huaxia have teased the officials of the rice country with things related to this aspect.
After entering the modern society, with the development of science and technology, there are more and more news reports on China in the United States, which also makes the people of the United States not too unfamiliar with the celebrities and stars of China.
In the eyes of countless young people in the United States, Yang Ming is an undoubted idol, and no one can shake his status, especially his legendary life of starting from scratch and having a wealth of tens of billions through hard work, and he is worshiped and studied by countless young people in the United States, wanting to become Yang Ming's second.
For the United States society, an important measure of success is money and career.
In this regard, Yang Ming is undoubtedly a role model for all young people who aspire to success in the United States.
Countless young people in the United States use Yang Ming's successful life to motivate themselves.
If it was just like this, it wouldn't make Phyllis feel too curious about Yang Ming, she had already seen too much of this kind of successful life experience like chicken soup for the soul.
The media in the United States also have a very high evaluation of Yang Ming's films and music.
The King of Pop!
The creator of cinematic miracles!
This is the evaluation of Yang Ming that Phyllis has repeatedly seen in the media of the United States, and the media of the United States who agree with this evaluation are not the same or two.
To say that the media in the United States is really like what they advertise, it is the endorsement of the so-called justice and fairness, Phyllis does not believe it, but so many media unanimously make such a high evaluation of a young genius from abroad, which makes it difficult for Phyllis not to be shocked.
It can be said that since she can remember, there are not many times that the media in the United States have recognized an outstanding foreign person so much.
Moreover, such a high degree of unanimous evaluation is basically focused on the financial aspects of politics and finance.
As for the aspect of entertainment culture, it is very rare, and it is simply a handful.
That is, in recent years, with the continuous development of society, the entertainment and cultural industry has continued to develop, and it has gradually become the focus of media attention.
"He's an elusive genius, especially his musical instincts, which I really admire. Afra recalled the situation when she met Yang Ming, and couldn't help but say slowly.
Last time, she went to Yanjing to attend the premiere of "Three Kingdoms", and then met with Yang Ming and Li Xiangjun in private and talked about a lot of music-related topics.
It was also that discussion that made Afra have some admiration for Yang Ming's talent.
She has never seen someone with such musical intuition as Yang Ming, at least not in Hollywood, whether it is the trend of pop music or the changes in pop music, every word and advice Yang Ming said was basically to the point, which made Afra feel eye-opening.
After returning to the United States, whenever she remembered that discussion, and a gift that Yang Ming gave her later, writing a score for pop music, she felt more and more about the decision to cooperate with Yang Ming.
In the car, Phyllis was driving while listening to Afra beside her slowly narrate her impression of Yang Ming.
Talk about the topic of Yang Ming.
It's just that neither of them realized that Afra's impression of Yang Ming seems to be like those fans, whenever they mention idols, their tone can't help but be a little excited and excited, which is the case with Afra now.
The Lion City of China.
This time, Yang Ming came to the Lion City, and the hotel he settled in was still the Hanging Garden Hotel where he stayed last time.
A coffee meeting place on the top floor of the hotel.
The afternoon sun spills in through the glass, gilding the whole place with a layer of golden light, and through the glass, you can see the blue sky and white clouds outside, and the ebb and flow of the sea below.
"Yang Ming, now that things are getting bigger and bigger, the media are talking about this matter all day long, and even many people think that Shengli Pictures is colluding with foreign enemies and suppressing their fellow clans! They are not doing very well during this time!" Sister Zhu sat on a chair, drinking coffee, and said slowly with a gloating tone.
"Whoever makes things come together, they can only blame their bad lives. Yang Ming leaned comfortably on the chair, basking in the sun, and said leisurely.
At this time, Yanjing was already cold and cold, although it was not spring flowers in the Lion City, but it was basically not related to the cold, and he was a little reluctant to return to Yanjing.
Sister Zhu mentioned that the media has been aiming their guns at victory recently, and he has seen it in the media for a long time.
In this regard, he was also quite gloating in his heart.
Who called Victory Pictures learned that his new film was a racing movie, and immediately announced that he was going to shoot a racing movie, which was obviously aimed at him, but he didn't expect Pan American Entertainment to also announce that he would make a racing movie.
If this is done in normal times, no one may pay attention to it.
But in recent times, there has been a lot of movement in Hollywood, first Afra terminated the contract with CAA and switched to Oriental DreamWorks, which completely made the entire entertainment industry in the United States boil, and everyone looked at CAA and Oriental DreamWorks.
In this context, CAA has made a big announcement of its partnership with Pan Am Entertainment to fully support Pan Am Entertainment's racing film shooting program.
And Hollywood is a place where there are no secrets.
The news about the CAA's crackdown on Oriental DreamWorks has disappeared, and everyone knows it.
In this case, the domestic Victory Pictures also joined the ranks against Yang Ming, if the media did not associate Victory Pictures with Pan American Entertainment and CAA, then they would not be the media that made a fuss out of nothing.
So, all of a sudden, all kinds of conspiracy theories were flying all over the sky.
"Victory Pictures and Pan American Entertainment have joined forces to encircle and intercept Yang Ming's new film around the world. ”
"In order to ensure the release advantage of Yang Ming's new film, CAA will tailor the script, director and cast for Pan American Entertainment Racing Movie Shooting Plan, which will definitely be an Oscar-level lineup!"
"The three major domestic entertainment giants form the same front against Oriental DreamWorks!".
Conspiracy theories like this are not only in China, but also in the United States, and there is a huge market, and all kinds of random speculation are flying all over the sky.
Maybe the news over there in the United States will not have any impact on Victory Pictures.
But it's obviously different when you go abroad.
In the history of China, after experiencing the Yuan and Qing dynasties that ruled China, the hatred of traitors has reached the peak of history since the emergence of the Internet.
All of a sudden, the verbal and written criticism of Victory Pictures on the Internet has not stopped.
The image of Victory Pictures completely collapsed on the Internet.
In order to make up for the loss of image, Victory Pictures has not had a good time during this time.
"Mr. Yang, the matter here in the Lion City is coming to an end, when will you see when the actors of your new film can be determined?" Sister Zhu asked with concern, no wonder she cares so much, she is now the person in charge of the brokerage department of Oriental DreamWorks Huaxia, and it is naturally a matter of duty to take over the drama for its artists.
Especially the new film of her own boss, Sister Zhu will not let it go.
Don't talk about her Sister Zhu, which actor and star in the outside world is not salivating for the role of Yang Ming's new film, and can only blame the movie made by his own boss, who has too strong star-making ability.
Whoever shoots is popular, and whoever picks up is popular!
Otherwise, many people would not have greeted Yang Ming through various ways and channels, hoping to have opportunities for cooperation.
Even if Sister Zhu is her own family, this time she feels that this time she will have to pay a lot of money to let those guys who dig meat from her bowl go away.
Yang Ming heard Sister Zhu's words and glanced at her, naturally knowing the meaning of the other party's words, but he couldn't refute anything, after all, Sister Zhu was also thinking about the interests of the company.
Even if he thinks of using his own movies to make celebrities of other film companies popular, he will feel very unwilling.
"I'll give you two roles to screen, one is Han Feng and the other is Ji Jiaojiao!" Yang Ming said slowly, in his heart, he already had a certain plan for the assignment of roles!
When Sister Zhu heard this, she tilted her head and thought for a while, she had already read Yang Ming's almost revised script in the past two days, and after thinking about it a little, she remembered these two characters, but she still felt a little unwilling, and looked at Yang Ming with a blank eye and said, "What about Tang Fei?"
Tang Fei is naturally the character played by Paul Walker in "Fast and Furious" in his previous life.
She already knows that Yang Ming will not appear in this new film, otherwise this role is the most suitable role for Yang Ming, this is the second male lead, and in terms of popularity with the audience, this role is not inferior to the male number one, Sister Zhu, who has already read the script, knows this very well,
Therefore, she naturally doesn't want to give up this role.
Seeing Yang Ming's hesitant appearance, Sister Zhu hurriedly added: "Mr. Yang, your drama will definitely be filmed into a series, if nothing else, the male number one and male number two will definitely become popular, are you willing to give this kind of good thing to other companies?
"That's the same!" Yang Ming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard Sister Zhu's words.
