Chapter 1191: July 2nd
The interview continues, and it is rare to have such a good opportunity to interview Yang Ming, and the two media obviously will not waste such a good opportunity.
It's just that they are still a disciplined media, and the questions they ask are basically related to the movie itself.
"Yang, your successful life is admired by countless young people, and you have made several successful movies in the past, but none of them are directly related to your own identity and background. What do you think about this?"
The reporter of "Hollywood International Weekly" asked with a smile on his face.
In fact, this is also something that all filmmakers around the world know.
Whether it is age or Yang Ming's past, he doesn't seem to be a person with a lot of life experience, but he has countless wonderful ideas in his mind, which has led to his current dazzling achievements.
Not to mention the film industry, his keen sense of business has also surprised the business world's celebrities.
Yang Ming smiled when he heard this question, in fact, he had been prepared for such a question, pursed his lips, then pondered for a while, and said confidently to the camera:
"Everyone should know my upbringing, my family was not wealthy since I was a child, and I used to work part-time in junior high school for my musical ideals, and I realized the huge gap between reality and ideals early, and it is precisely because I started in junior high school and persevered in my part-time work process until I graduated from high school that I now have a lot of different ideas in my mind. ”
"It's important to me!"
Speaking of this, he shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he also grew up from a bitter child, not a rich child born with a golden key.
In fact, this history is already well-known to fans around the world who are familiar with Yang Ming.
It is also Yang Ming's inspiring life that will make him more recognized by people around the world, because his success is not easy to come by.
When the two reporters sitting opposite heard this answer, they couldn't help but nod their heads.
However, Yang Ming's words were not finished, only to hear him continue: "I don't want to make a movie for the sake of making a film that expounds a certain theme. In general, most of the characters in my previous films have been imagined and set up, which is also beneficial to the career I have honed since I was a child, and I do not associate them with a particular political or social event. ”
Speaking of this, his face showed a serious expression.
Entertainment is entertainment, politics is politics, and he doesn't want to show a clear political view.
Especially now that the entertainment and cultural industry is becoming more and more developed and globalized, he doesn't want to be boycotted by some foreign film markets because of political problems.
Of course, he will not make any compromises on the position of right and wrong.
Rather, it is said that Yang Ming will never compromise in his films in order to cater to some political groups, and this is the first time he has publicly expressed his views.
His films have nothing to do with politics.
As for the so-called cultural impact that his films will bring to the film markets of other countries abroad, it is not within his scope of responsibility.
The globalization of the market is inevitable.
When Hollywood blockbusters entered the country, didn't they shout such slogans?
The market should be developed, the market should be fair, there should be no political suppression, and there should be no need to use administrative power to dry up.
At that time, why didn't they mention the impact that Hollywood blockbusters would have on Chinese culture?
Obviously, at that time, Hollywood blockbusters were on the favorable side, so naturally they would not say so.
But now Yang Ming has made a hurricane of Chinese films in the United States film market through several films, especially Chinese kung fu films, which are more popular among fans and audiences in the United States.
In particular, Mr. Hong's film company, which purely focuses on action kung fu films, has carefully shot several kung fu films by himself, which were distributed to the United States film market by Oriental DreamWorks, although the box office data cannot catch up with Yang Ming's films, but compared with the achievements of Chinese films in the United States film market in recent years, they are definitely a successful party.
In fact, this is also something that Yang Ming expected.
Mr. Hong has made action movies all his life, what artistic connotation, he has never understood, and he will not pursue these.
In his words, as long as he can play in the movie and make the audience feel that it is worth the money to buy movie tickets, then he is very satisfied, as for whether he will win the award or not, whether he will be recognized by those so-called professionals, he has not taken it to heart at all.
Originally, we were big men who played with guns and sticks, and we had to dance and write with those sissies, wasn't that looking for guilt?
Both parties can never pee into a urinal.
This is what Master Hong said to Yang Ming.
Caused by Yang Ming, and several Chinese kung fu films were released in the rice film market, which was a success at the box office.
It soon attracted the attention of Hollywood.
Many media that have always had a discriminatory attitude towards Chinese-language films are even more alarmist in the news, and topics such as the occupation of the United States by Chinese kung fu culture are in the news.
During the interview, "Hollywood Movie International Weekly" communicated with Yang Ming whether to answer this question positively, but after discussing it with both parties, they thought that this question was too acute, and the company also thought that such a thing should not be ignored, and if you responded positively, it might attract greater interest from those media.
However, Yang Ming felt that he should respond sideways.
That's why he said what he just said.
More than an hour of interviews, in a light-hearted chat, passed quickly.
Several reporters shook hands with Yang Ming one by one, and then said goodbye and left, and they wanted to sort out today's interview in the shortest possible time.
In addition, Oriental DreamWorks will also pay a certain price, and the two media will have corresponding pages to promote "Fast and Furious".
This kind of advertising PR is normal in the entertainment industry.
After Yang Ming was interviewed, he began to edit a trailer non-stop, and there was still more than a month before the movie was released.
Then it is estimated that three versions of the trailer will be edited.
What first trailers, teaser trailers, special promotional trailers, final trailers, etc., are trailers with various names.
This set has long been played badly in the previous life.
"Golden Dragon Movie" and "Hollywood Movie International Weekly" have high authority in their respective countries, and many movie fans are loyal readers of these two media outlets.
Their interview with Yang Mi was soon published in a new issue of the journal the next day, which immediately attracted the attention of countless fans.
"That genius Yang Ming has a new movie to be released. ”
"There will be an interview with Yang Ming. ”
"Oh my God, Fast and Furious finally has clear news. ”
Both media coincidentally introduced the content of Yang Ming's new film revealed in an interview yesterday.
According to director Yang Ming, his new film "Fast and Furious" will bring together all the intense action elements, while not forgetting the characteristics of the racing movie itself, and he believes that he will continue to give fans a satisfactory explanation. ”
This time, the promotional posters and stills released by Yang Ming through the two media were not a few that had been released piecemeal before.
Instead, a lot of high-definition crews were released at once, and basically every role was included.
Countless fans saw the fragrant cars, hot girls, and macho men in the posters, and they were immediately attracted to the eyeballs, and at the same time, each poster was a luxury car with a different shape, which made countless fans interested and studied which luxury car these models were.
Oriental DreamWorks' well-planned promotion for "Fast and Furious" took the lead and attracted the attention of countless fans, becoming one of the most popular films in the summer file.
After seeing the news published by the two media, Huaxia and United States Hollywood immediately looked at the two companies.
Huaxia Victory Pictures, Pan American Entertainment in Hollywood.
Two giants of the film industry in both countries.
At the beginning, after Yang Ming announced that his new film would be a racing-themed film, the two giants also announced in the shortest possible time that they would also shoot racing movies.
Everyone knows what this means.
There is only one purpose, that is, to block Yang Ming's new film.
During this period, the racing movies of the two film companies also exposed various crew news from time to time to attract attention, but now that "Fast and Furious" has preemptively announced the release date, it depends on how the two film companies choose.
July 2nd!
"Golden Dragon Movie" and "Hollywood Movie International Weekly" both announced the date of the premiere of Yang Ming's new film, which is this day, July 2.
This time is not only the prime time node of the summer file, but also this day is also Saturday.
Many domestic and foreign entertainment media have roughly guessed that Yang Ming's new film will be released on this day through several interviews with Oriental DreamWorks before.
So the next thing to do is how Victory Pictures and Pan American Entertainment choose?
Is it staggered, or is it premiering at the same time?
America.
Pan Am Entertainment.
Cockley sat in his own office, with today's new issue of Hollywood Movie International on his desk.
"July 2nd?" the corners of his mouth curled slightly, revealing a cold look, and then after thinking for a while, he let the secretary in and ordered, "You go and contact the CAA, I think we should meet up." ”
Pan Am Entertainment's racing movie, except for half of its own investment, is packaged by CAA.
However, the benefits generated by this film will also be divided by CAA.
As soon as he thought of this, Corkley was unwilling, but he still held back, as long as this film can be successful, then he will receive a corresponding reward for retreating before.
The most important thing is that the company's financial situation in the past two years has been very bad, several large investments have not recovered their costs, and the company's capital chain is very tight, so he had to agree to CAA's conditions.
Packaged services?
"It's a cancer. Cockley couldn't help but curse in his heart again.
CAA Headquarters.
President Wayne put down the phone, pondered for a moment, and called Edgar over.
It wasn't long before Edgar came over, but he was followed by a man.
Renard Dunlop, the director of "The Extreme Drift", a film in which CAA is fully involved.
Edgar walked into Wayne's office, saw the new issue of "Hollywood Movie Weekly" on the other party's desk, and immediately understood what the other party called him over, he didn't wait for Wayne to speak, he took the lead and said: "Wayne, are you still hesitating?"
Regarding the plan to block Yang Ming's new film this time, Wayne does not agree with it in his heart.
The risk is too great, and the attitude of the Huaxia government makes the CAA very cautious, not wanting to be labeled as maliciously suppressing Chinese films.
It's just that Afra switched to Yang Ming's other industry, Dongfang Huayin, and signed a brokerage contract with the other party, and rejected CAA's kindness, which completely annoyed a large part of CAA, who thought that this young Chinese genius was too blind.
Coupled with Edgar's insistence, there is "Speed Drift" this time.
"Is it useful for me to hesitate?" Wayne smiled faintly and shook his head, whether he objected or not, it was useless at the moment.
At this point, he can't afford to take half a step back, otherwise CAA's reputation for many years will be ruined.
After saying this, Wayne took a deep look at Edgar, he knew why the other party was so keen to block Yang Ming's new film, and even did not hesitate to manipulate it himself, if there was no news from Oscar's side, it is estimated that the other party would definitely not work so hard.
"Haha!" Edgar smiled heartily, then was full of confidence, and said with an arrogant face: "Maybe I'm not sure about Huaxia, but on the side of the United States, there is absolutely no problem, this is our home field, even if the other party has the support of AMC Cinema, we don't have any worries." ”
Wayne didn't continue to say anything to Edgar when he heard this, in fact, he was not worried about whether the film would be a box office success, he was mainly worried about whether CAA would be 'looked at differently' by the Huaxia government because of this, which would make the business that had just started in Huaxia fall into a quagmire.
But in any case, the matter has settled, and everything will wait for the release of the film.
"Then July 2nd, since people are fearless, then we should not be afraid. Wayne said flatly.
After saying this, he looked at Renard and asked in a relaxed tone, "You made this film, what do you think?"
In fact, in Hollywood, most directors do not have the final editing rights, and the release and date of the film are set, and they basically have no right to ask.
But Renard is one of the few big directors under CAA, and Wayne naturally will not ignore the other party's opinion.
"I never thought that a movie made by a child could be a movie!" Renard said disdainfully, he never recognized Yang Ming's films, thinking that the other party's success was only a box office success, and it was all built up through special effects production.
If that could be considered a success, so could he.
Hearing Renard's words, Wayne frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, after all, with the other party's status in Hollywood, it is estimated that he will not listen much.
Since he was recognized by the two, he did not hesitate and made a phone call to Corkley: "It's so decided, July 2nd!"
As for meeting or not, it doesn't matter.
In fact, this result was already doomed when the decision was made to block Yang Ming's new film.
It seems that July of this year's summer season will be extremely miserable!!
Moreover, he also knows that there is also a film company in Huaxia that is filming a racing film, and if nothing else, it will also be released in the summer, but I don't know if it will also be on July 2.
I choose this date by any chance.
Then, this year's summer file will definitely be the bloodiest box office fight in the history of the movie!
Three films, the same racing film, with the same huge investment, will be released on the same date!
I feel trembling and excited just thinking about it.
