Chapter 675: Be Careful

Compared with Oriental DreamWorks when it only held a press conference for "2012", the momentum of Zhonghuang Entertainment and Pan American Entertainment is much stronger than that of Oriental DreamWorks.

Bai Chongshi is also a very decisive person, since he has offended the entire Chinese film circle, he simply made the momentum bigger.

Whether it is a TV station or a newspaper media, under the care of Zhonghuang Entertainment's money and Zhang Ziqing's use of family relationships, this joint venture film that has not yet started filming has created enough momentum.

History is written by successful people.

As long as this joint venture film can finally achieve amazing results, it is enough to prove that Zhonghuang Entertainment has not gone wrong.

Therefore, now Bai Chongshi is bent on expanding his advantages as much as possible for this joint venture film.

As for Cokeley's side, not to mention, after he returned to the United States, he immediately began to publicize his success in the Chinese film market through the media.

Especially when he successfully reached an agreement with Emperor Entertainment this time, when Barber was in charge of Pan American Entertainment, this plan was not realized, but was completed by him Corkley, and the news spread all over Hollywood in a short period of time under the promotion of Corkley.

Cockley's reputation in Hollywood has never been good, and after he purged Barber from Pan American Entertainment, his reputation in Hollywood has been even worse.

Compared with Barber's years of dedication to Pan American Entertainment, Corkley is more like a treacherous businessman who uses the value of Pan American Entertainment to the extreme.

For this evaluation, Corkley naturally didn't want to accept it, and now that it is rare to have such a good opportunity, he will certainly not give up.

It's a pity that no matter how much effort he spends in the face of him, not only Hollywood's opinion of him has not changed at all, but Barber's side has not responded at all.

Even when a reporter ran up to Barber to interview the former Pan Am General Manager for his views on the matter, Barber did not respond positively, just using the sentence "I am no longer the general manager of Pan American Entertainment, and I have no right to express my opinion on this matter." ”

Cockley's smug pride threw a punch that seemed to hit cotton, making him extremely uncomfortable.

Actually, Corkley himself was overly concerned, and Bobble didn't take it to heart at all, and he was now busy with his own business.

Within two days, the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks announced the official start of filming of "Hurricane Rescue", but what was surprising was that the director in charge of the film turned out to be a director from France. And not Hollywood directors.

Barber also attended the press conference of "Hurricane Rescue", and introduced the French director Xavier to all the reporters present.

However, compared with "Die Hard", which was announced by Oriental DreamWorks to start filming some time ago, the production cost of "Hurricane Rescue" is not very high, only 20 million yuan.

In a short period of time, two films in the Hollywood branch of Oriental DreamWorks have announced the start of shooting, which shows that after the acquisition of Lian Pictures and the arrival of Barber at the helm of the company, the development of Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood has undergone earth-shaking changes.

This also made many Hollywood people look at this film company, which could only be regarded as a third-rate film company before.

It's just that these two films, one with an investment of 30 million meters and the other with an investment of 20 million meters, cannot attract the attention of other Hollywood studios, and it seems that Barber has begun to follow the initial route he used to take when he was at Pan American Entertainment.

First, he shoots some high-grossing low-budget films, earns a lot of box office, improves his influence, accumulates strength, and then slowly expands.

Although Barber was successful with the Pan American Entertainment Guò model, many in Hollywood were not optimistic that he could use it at Oriental DreamWorks to achieve the same success.

Because times are different.

After decades of development, the stronger the stronger, the weaker the weaker, and now most of the resources on the market that can be adapted into movies are already in the hands of those giants.

It's too difficult for Barber to succeed in the same way as he did twenty years ago.

Of course, it's not impossible, if the Oriental DreamWorks branch in Hollywood has classic and excellent scripts every year, maybe Barber can be successful again.

But this is not realistic.

Classic movie scripts are not full of cabbage, and if there is such a script, won't other film companies join the competition?

And with the strength of Oriental DreamWorks, it is impossible to beat those movie giants in the competition.

Therefore, even if Barber announced his investment in two films in a short period of time, not too many people in Hollywood are optimistic about his success at Oriental DreamWorks.

Yanjing.

After Yang Ming, the old dean, and Zhao Xu discussed a special edition of Popcorn Network, they handed over this task to Ma Yun.

After Ma Yun received the task arranged by Yang Ming, he acted quickly, and within two days, a special version of the popcorn website appeared on the popcorn website where students could only upload videos.

Every user who wants to upload their own videos on this special page must be a student of Yenching Film Academy.

Of course, it is impossible for the website to verify the real identity of each student one by one, but when the video is uploaded, you must fill in your own information, so that the video uploaded on this special website will be followed by the name, class, and college information.

It's impossible for you Jinling Academy of Arts students to pretend to be students of Yenching Film Academy to upload videos, right?

Otherwise, the name of Yenching Film Academy will inevitably be hung on the back of the video you upload, and students from other art academies will certainly not want to.

When the popcorn website came up with this special edition, it immediately caused a sensation among all art academies in China.

Originally, various colleges have begun to pay more and more attention to the exercise of their own students on popcorn networks, and once the videos shot by students are successful, it is simply fame and fortune, especially for their students to enter the entertainment industry in the future.

After all, having this kind of successful shooting experience is still helpful for the new students of the director department to enter the entertainment industry and be able to direct quickly.

The domestic colleges did not expect that the popcorn website would make a special edition for the Yenching Film Academy alone, and in just one day, dozens of students from the Yenching Film Academy uploaded their own short films, and all of them achieved good results.

The other art academies couldn't help but see this, and they carefully studied the special edition of Popcorn for the Yenching Film Academy.

Or it can't be said to be a special edition, but when uploading the video, fill in the author's information, about the option of the academy, there is only one option for the Yenching Film Academy, and you have no other choice.

When other art academies in China learned of this, they immediately began to contact the popcorn website, wanting the website to add their respective colleges to this option, but Ma Yun was hinted by Yang Ming, although he immediately agreed at that time, but because the website had just started testing, it would take a few days to add it.

In this way, for 7 days, Ma Yun dragged on for a whole week to add the names of other art schools in China to the options, but at this time, the students of Yenching Film Academy had already established a certain advantage.

Especially in this whole week, there are only videos uploaded by students of Yenching Film Academy in this special edition, which has left a deep impression on the hearts of countless netizens, and indirectly and invisibly improved the status of Yenching Film Academy in the minds of Chinese people.

That's the main thing.

In the past week, he has received many phone calls from old friends, scolding him for his own selfishness, and he is not aware of the future of countless art students across the country.

When the old dean received a call from these old friends, he naturally replied very unceremoniously, who said that your college did not have a student as beneficine as Yang Ming!

In the face of the old dean's strong answer, many people almost choked up all at once, but fortunately, a week later, the popcorn website was also opened and the names of other colleges were added, so that the matter calmed down.

Yang Ming answered Ma Yun's call, and after hearing the result, he didn't take it to heart, and now he is back in the crew and continues to shoot "2012" on the spot.

Tongtong also returned to the crew with Zhou Meiling for a while, this girl almost didn't go crazy these days, but fortunately, after getting along these days, her relationship with Zhou Meiling has become deeper and deeper, which is still helpful for the filming of the movie.

This time the crew re-filmed, Su Su did not return to the crew, her role has come to an end, and the remaining scenes are estimated to start filming a month later.

However, Yang Ming's parents came to the crew to visit the class, of course, they mainly came to see Tongtong.

In order to shoot "2012", Tongtong also took a long leave from school, although taking such a long leave at Tongtong's age would not have much substantial impact on her studies.

But Yang Xiangming and Li Qiumei are still more worried about Tongtong's future.

Therefore, this time the two of them came over, one was to see Tongtong, and the other was to ask his son, will the youngest daughter also enter the entertainment industry in the future?

However, in addition to Yang Xiangming and Li Qiumei, the two of them came to visit the class, and Li Xingyi, the brother-in-law who had just met, also came with them.

"What's so good in the entertainment industry, with Yang Ming's current identity and status, there is no need for Tongtong to enter the entertainment industry in the future. ”

In the café on the second floor of the hotel, Li Xingyi heard his sister's question about Yang Ming and rushed to speak.

Actually, he originally wanted to say that the children of the Li family were too low-grade to mix in the entertainment industry, after all, even if a star was famous, he would not be able to get on the stage in the eyes of a wealthy family, but when he thought of Yang Ming's own demonic nephew, he swallowed the following words.

There is no way, Yang Ming's achievements in just two years are really amazing.

Even, Li Xingyi guessed that his nephew's net worth was no less than that of an ordinary wealthy family.

Yang Ming heard his mother's concerned questioning, thought carefully about Tongtong's situation in the play recently, and said slowly: "Mom, you don't have to worry, Tongtong is still a child, now she likes acting, maybe it's just a temporary interest, but we don't need to change Tongtong's life, let her do whatever she likes!"

He knew that his parents must be because of the chaos in the entertainment industry, and he was more worried that a girl entering the entertainment industry would be affected in the future, thinking of this, Yang Ming continued domineeringly:

"But even if Tongtong likes acting and enters the entertainment industry, with me, no one can bully her, even if she wants to be the first person in the entertainment industry, I can do it for her!"

"Gentlemen!" Li Xingyi heard Yang Ming's arrogant words, and gave Yang Ming a thumbs up.

But he doesn't think that his nephew is talking empty words, as the Li family understands Yang Ming more deeply, the more shocked they become, especially some time ago, Yang Ming went to Hollywood in the United States, spent hundreds of millions of yuan to acquire a film company, and then announced the filming of a 500 million yuan big production zuò, which was a great shock to the Li family.

Originally, there were some side relatives of the Li family who still had some complaints about handing over the "Guangyue Daily", the most influential resource in the hands of the Li family, to Yang Ming to take charge, but now they were all shocked by Yang Ming's courage during this time.

"Hmm!" Li Qiumei knew that her son was a calm character, so she didn't say anything after thinking about it.

After all, Tongtong is still young now, and it is very normal for children to show interest in something.

After chatting for a while, Yang Xiangming and Li Qiumei went to find Tongtong, and Li Xingyi stayed, it seems that he must have something to say to Yang Ming.

"When will you take Tongtong to see the old man!" Li Xingyi said.

Yang Ming thought for a while when he heard this, and said, "Let's go for a while, but in a few days, Tongtong can go over to see his grandfather first." ”

Now the crew is in the midst of intense filming, and he, as the director, is the core figure of the crew, and he can't leave him for a moment, and he can't withdraw for the time being.

"It's okay!" Li Xingyi nodded casually and said, the purpose of his coming today was naturally not this, I saw that he was silent for a moment, and then said cautiously: "Is there any unpleasantness between you and the Zhang family in the capital?"

When Yang Ming heard this, he couldn't help but look at Li Xingyi with a smile on his face and said, "Uncle, what do you say?"

He didn't believe that Zhang Ziqing went to the prison cell because of himself, and his uncle didn't know about such a big thing?

Li Xingyi saw the smile on Yang Ming's face, knew that his mind was seen through by his nephew, and secretly scolded the little fox, and then said with a more solemn expression: "Your brother-in-law and I have also stayed in Yanjing for a period of time before, and many people in Yanjing also know each other, and the Zhang family is not an ordinary family. ”

"Oh?" Yang Ming's expression moved, he knew that the people his uncle knew must be people in the same circle as Zhang Shao, Young Master of the Ye Family, Hua Mingzhi and others, or ****** more appropriate.

It's just that now listening to my uncle's words, is there anything different about the Zhang family?

Seeing Yang Ming's eyes, Li Xingyi was no longer subtle, and directly said what he knew.

"Although it is said that the wealthy families in Yanjing have their own bottom line, and generally will not use any unsavory means, but for those who can threaten them, those families will definitely not be soft, after so many years, they must be very good at exploiting loopholes in the law, maybe they can't buy murder, but it is still very possible to ruin your reputation. ”

"When I was in Yanjing before, I knew that a child of the Zhang family had made a female college student's belly bigger, but that guy was already married, but because the female college student not only didn't want to kill the child, but also wanted to take the opportunity to blackmail the Zhang family to divorce him and officially marry him. ”

A week later, the female college student was drugged in a bar, and happened to run into the police anti-pornography, which was reported by the media, and at the same time, the news of the female college student's pregnancy was also poked out by the media, and the reputation of the female college student in the school was stinking all of a sudden. In the end, this female college student was infamous for breaking shoes, she couldn't bear the pressure and committed suicide by jumping off the building!"

Li Xingyi said this in one breath, picked up the coffee, and looked at Yang Ming.

After Yang Ming heard Li Xingyi's words, he sighed faintly in his heart, where there is light, there is darkness, although this female college student is also at fault, but the Zhang family's approach is too despicable, one corpse and two lives!

However, his mood was not as good as the story of his uncle, but a little fluctuating, and he said lightly: "If you do too much injustice, you will kill yourself, and one day they will have retribution." ”

Li Xingyi was a little anxious when he heard this, he couldn't help but say: "Yang Ming, you must pay attention to yourself, the Zhang family is not a good bird, if you are in a hurry, they can do whatever they can, you must be careful." ”

"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your sister and brother-in-law!"

"Hmm!" Yang Ming thought of the consequences of his parents' accident because of him, and couldn't help but nod solemnly. "I'll be careful!"

Zhang Ziqing entered the cell, although it was because the evidence in Huang Taiji's possession was the most lethal factor, but he was the most direct reason, reconciliation was impossible, and Yang Ming might also apologize, there were no such words in his dictionary.

It's just that now with Yang Ming's identity and status, the Zhang family's general means are definitely useless.

Yang Ming is even very confident that no matter what means Zhang Jiaming uses, he can't help himself, but what if he secretly sees unsavory means?

It seems that I will indeed pay attention to it in the future.

After Yang Ming sent his parents and brother-in-law away with a heavy heart, after returning to the crew, he quickly put these thoughts behind him, and the soldiers came to block the water and cover the earth, and he didn't believe that the Zhang family could cover the sky with one hand.

It's just a big deal, the fish is dead, and he has nothing to fear.

The filming of "2012", because of the strength of the actors this time, progressed very quickly, and it is estimated that in two months, the on-site shooting will be almost completed, and the following is the shooting in the blue screen studio.

More than a month later, when the on-location shooting of "2012" was almost off-site, Yang Ming received a call from Bobble.

"Release permit?" Yang Ming asked with his mobile phone, "Could it be that "Die Hard" has already been filmed?"

"Well, it's already a post-production zuò, and it's almost finished. Barber said.

Yang Ming thinks about it, the story of "Die Hard" itself is confined to a building, and the crew does not need to move at all for filming, except for action scenes and explosion shots, there is basically no difficulty, and the filming progress must be very fast.

However, now that "Die Hard" wants to enter the Chinese film market, it is not very easy to get a public screening license, even if Yang Ming is the boss of this company.

Although the production company of "Die Hard" is Oriental DreamWorks, the Oriental DreamWorks in Hollywood and the Oriental DreamWorks in China are not the same company in the legal sense.

Hollywood's Oriental DreamWorks was renamed after Yang Ming acquired Lianlian Film Company, not Oriental DreamWorks was set up in Hollywood as a foreigner.

Both DreamWorks pay taxes to their respective countries and are not legally the same company.

Therefore, when "Die Hard" enters China, it can only be regarded as an imported film, and it must get a public screening license before it can be released and released.

"In this way, I'll let Liu Xinsheng ask first. Yang Ming thought for a while and said. You have to be careful yourself. ”

"Even if you don't think about yourself, think about your sister and brother-in-law!"

"Hmm!" Yang Ming thought of the consequences of his parents' accident because of him, and couldn't help but nod solemnly. "I'll be careful!"

Zhang Ziqing entered the cell, although it was because the evidence in Huang Taiji's possession was the most lethal factor, but he was the most direct reason, reconciliation was impossible, and Yang Ming might also apologize, there were no such words in his dictionary.
