65. The old and new directors collide
(During the difficult period of new books, I hope that the book friends who are interested in reading it can leave a collection for encouragement, and I would like to thank Radish for his reward and evaluation all the time, as well as the recommendations of many book friends, xiexie you.) )
In the editorial department of Jinghua Entertainment News, Li Weizheng, the editor-in-charge of the entertainment page, is concentrating on looking at a newly arrived information.
This is a piece of information about Ye Sumang's new play "No Thieves in the World".
Because he had just experienced the crazy June of Fairy Sword, Li Wei was very sensitive to any news about the young director, so when he got the first-hand information, he did not directly write according to the superficial information provided in the report, but wanted to find some differences in it.
"Li Bian, what do you want?" Li Wei's colleague Han Li walked in with a cup of coffee at this time, and happened to see Li Wei frowning and thinking.
"Take a look, Ye Sumang's latest news." pinched the middle of the person, and Levi, who had been thinking for a long time, was also a little tired.
When Han Li heard that it was Ye Sumang, she suddenly became interested, hurriedly put down the coffee that she hadn't drunk yet, picked up the information and read it carefully.
"It is rumored that the young director Ye Sumang went to Hong Kong to meet Liu Dehua, suspected of seeking cooperation for the new play..."
"Tianxia Media is about to start filming a new movie, and the story content is mainly 'thief'..."
………
There is not much information, and it is not very detailed, but Han Li still understands the general meaning. She didn't expect this Ye Sumang to be so able to toss, the TV series had just been screened, and she began to prepare for the filming of a new movie again. And it seems that the investment is not small, after all, Liu Dehua's worth is now one of the best in the Chinese film industry.
"Any good ideas? I don't want Jinghua Entertainment's report to have the same content as those small entertainment newspapers..."Seeing Han Li put down the information, Li Wei asked with a tired expression.
In order to come up with new ideas from this news, he struggled with his brain, but there was too little information, and there were several news about the new drama over and over again, and he couldn't even tell whether this drama was a comedy or an action movie.
But it's impossible to give up reporting. You must know that this is the news between the popular director Ye Sumang and the Asian king Liu Dehua, this is also the first time that Ye Sumang has invited a big-name star to cooperate, and I think that as long as it is reported, it will definitely be able to increase newspaper sales.
Han Li didn't speak, just frowned and looked at the information again, and after a while, she suddenly raised her head and asked, "What day is today?" ”
"Hehe, busy and confused? It's July 20th. Levi said with a smile.
"No, look at the date!" Han Li exclaimed, handed the information to Li Wei, and said excitedly: "It's the end of July, and Liu Dehua should still be filming Infernal Affairs 3, but it seems that it is about to be completed, so Ye Sumang's drama should start in mid to late August." If you look at the cycle of shooting a movie, it should not exceed 2 months. Coupled with the time submitted for review, that is to say, if everything goes well, Ye Sumang's film should be released during the Spring Festival, this should be a New Year's film! ”
"You mean to say that the release time of his movie should be just in time for the Chinese New Year...?" Levi's eyes gradually lit up.
"That's right. Ye Sumang's competitors this time will probably be Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou, who are first-line directors! ”
"The clash of old and new directors!" Levi had fully grasped the point at the moment. Who is Ye Sumang, a representative figure of the new generation of directors, and one of the most popular directors in China at present. There are even some small newspapers outside that have begun to advertise that he is the leader of the seventh generation of directors.
Not to mention Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and others, they are definitely the top directors in China, and their names represent strong box office appeal and film quality assurance.
This is the first dialogue between the two parties, and it is definitely full of highlights.
Early the next morning, when other entertainment newspapers were hastily promoting the news that Liu Tianwang had joined Ye Sumang's new play, Jinghua Entertainment News once again used two pages to report his conjecture about the upcoming release of Ye Sumang's movie.
They also ingeniously took out the achievements of Ye Sumang, compared them with those directors who have been confirmed to compete in this year's Chinese New Year, and analyzed the advantages and disadvantages of both sides in detail.
Looking at a series of works by those directors, Ye Sumang is only 2 alone, which looks very shabby. However, the audience's evaluation was not completely one-sided, but most fans thought that Ye Sumang could occupy a place in the Lunar New Year file.
The reason is very simple, just like the analysis in the newspaper, although Ye Sumang has few works, each one has achieved quite excellent results. Moreover, the comedy style of Ye Sumang's first movie is also very suitable for the Chinese New Year, so many people are looking forward to Ye Sumang's performance in the Chinese New Year.
Ye Sumang also got the news as soon as he got off the plane and rushed back to the company.
"This Jinghua Entertainment News is quite discerning, and with a little information, I guessed that my movie was prepared for the Chinese New Year." Glancing at the newspaper, under the uncertain gaze of everyone, Ye Sumang said with a smile.
As soon as Ye Sumang said this, everyone present also understood that Ye Sumang really wanted to put "No Thieves in the World" on the Chinese New Year.
"Yezi, aren't you worried at all? You must know that in the past few years, Feng Xiaogang has been occupying the throne of the champion of the Chinese New Year! Ning Hao asked worriedly.
"Weishenme is worried about me? They should be worried. Ye Sumang smiled confidently: "I'm just a rookie director, and it's nothing if I lose, but if those big directors are really overturned by me in the Lunar New Year, they will be the real shame!" ”
"That's right, we're barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, if we want to do it, we can do it on his back!" After listening to Ye Sumang's words, Huang Bo, who was simple-minded, suddenly roared excitedly.
At this moment, all the people present also felt that their blood was boiling, just like Huang Bo said, barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, if you can really fight a bloody way in the Chinese New Year, then the world's film and television will also become famous in the Chinese entertainment circle.
Although there was a lot of debate outside because of a report in the Jinghua Entertainment Daily, Ye Sumang was not affected in any way, and after refusing all media interviews, he lived a simple life again.
At the same time, the preparations for "No Thieves in the World" are also continuing, and many popular domestic first-line or quasi-first-line female stars have received interview invitations from Tianxia Film and Television, and these are all heroine candidates carefully selected by Ye Sumang. After all, it has been determined that Liu Dehua will play the male number one at this moment, so the status of the female number one cannot be low.
Soon Tianxia Film and Television received replies from these female stars, except for those who could not appear due to scheduling problems, most of the rest agreed to come over for interviews at the specified time.
Of course, in addition, there are some stars who Ye Sumang did not invite, but sent them to the door by himself.
You must know that Ye Sumang's star-making ability is recognized in the industry, the two TV series have become popular with countless people, and many female stars whose popularity has declined, or who are seeking to be on the top, are like hungry wolves who are eyeing fat after learning that Ye Sumang is about to recruit actresses, they have come to the door one after another, in order to gain the favor of the director.
These celebrities sent to the door, as long as the reputation is about the same, Ye Sumang also provides them with a chance, but for those who want to enter the crew with a special relationship, Ye Sumang directly refuses mercilessly.
This is Ye Sumang's working principle, everything is only based on ability to speak, and the rest of the messy things are never allowed to be mixed into the work. Just like when he was in the fairy sword crew, even if he had such a good relationship with Liu Yifei, when Liu Yifei made a mistake, he still punished and scolded, and he would not deliberately release water because he was acquainted.
A drama will not only have the main actors, but also many less important supporting roles to choose from, and the rest is easy to say, but the role of 'stupid root' throughout the whole line is a little difficult to find.
Because the stupid root under his script is a clear-hearted, pure, and kind person, and he is also a rural child who is dirty to the scum, which is almost rare to meet a boy with these essences in a big city.
Ye Sumang actually considered the candidate for this role, the first thing that came to mind was to find the boy who gave him the inspiration for the story in the small restaurant, but unfortunately he was in a hurry and did not leave contact information.
"Distressed, distressed..."Every time a new drama is filmed, there will always be various problems, although Ye Sumang is lying on the sofa with his eyes closed at this time, his mind is still spinning, thinking of ways to solve the problem.
