[Ye Sumang fights in the film industry again, the title of the film "If? ] Love", the genre still chooses song and dance films!! -- Kyoto Entertainment News
According to the latest news from this reporter, the biggest reason why director Ye Sumang did not participate in "Youth Musical" before was not because he wanted to be low-key or lazy, but because she was preparing his latest film - "If Love". According to an interview with a reporter from this newspaper, the genre of this film is still a song and dance film, with an investment of up to 60 million, and Zhang Xueyou, who is known as the "God of Song" in the ......Chinese music scene, was invited to join
This news was exclusively reported by Kyoto Entertainment News, so no one knew that Ye Sumang had begun to prepare for a new movie before that, so as soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the entertainment industry, and even many media were questioning the authenticity of this news.
However, with the "God of Song" Zhang Xueyou once again confirmed in a news interview that he had entered the "If? Love" crew, and when he served as one of the leading actors, everyone was shocked.
Ye Sumang is going to shoot a new drama again!?
And it's still a song and dance movie!?
can't help but be surprised by these media, because judging from Ye Sumang's previous shooting works, his thoughts are always imaginative, and the types of shooting are always changing, and none of his works inherit the style of the previous one.
But this time is different, "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" has just been painted, and Ye Sumang is going to continue to shoot the song and dance drama, which can't help but make the media start to think about it.

"Ye Sumang is greedy for money, and his work to follow the trend must be a money-making product. -- Apple Entertainment News
For Ye Sumang, he continued to shoot song and dance films. Some media have reservations, but more media think that Ye Sumang wants to take advantage of the craze of "Youth Singing and Dance" to make money again, and even some unknown people in the director circle have compared Ye Sumang to Wang Jing's second through the media, saying that he is the kind of director who ignores innovation and only cares about the box office, and his fierce rhetoric almost does not say that Ye Sumang is the scum of the director's industry.
For this. The news media also went out of their way to interview Feng Xiaogang and asked him to express his opinion on this news.
"I don't have anything to say about what I did, and I've already said what I should say, I want to know to watch the awards party that day!" Feng Xiaogang replied angrily, but no matter how you look at his expression, there is a taste of schadenfreude in it.
Although he was reluctant to answer, the next day, some unscrupulous media still took out his name and made an article, saying that Director Feng's prediction was successful, and Ye Sumang really became a pure box office director and the like.
For these reports. Ye Sumang didn't care at all, only he understood that this "If? "Love" is definitely not a work of money, and its artistry is far from what the media outside can guess.
Bang bang bang!
"Come in."
There was a knock on the door, Ye Sumang raised his head and replied, and saw Li Meng open the door and walk in.
"Director, the actors of the crew have all arrived, just waiting for you to go to the meeting." It turned out that Li Meng was here to inform Ye Sumang of the meeting.
"Got it. It's right away. After putting away the magazines and newspapers at hand, Ye Sumang got up and walked towards the conference room.
Speaking of which, this is also considered "What If? The first gathering of the main creators and actors of the crew of "Love". It's not to discuss anything, it's just to get acquainted with each other, after all, there are at least two or three months to get along in the future.
As soon as he walked to the door of the conference room, Ye Sumang heard a subtle discussion inside. Obviously, several leading actors have already started to communicate together, Ye Sumang's face was solemn, and after tidying up the collar of his shirt, he pushed the door open.
"Su Mang!" "Mr. Ye!" "Leaves!"
There were three people in the conference room at this time, and when they saw Ye Sumang, they immediately got up and welcomed.
Three different names. represents three people, and it is naturally Zhang Xueyou who shouts 'Su Mang', as a senior, and Ye Su Mang's musical confidant, so this kind of affectionate title for the younger generation is only appropriate for him to say it.
And shouting 'Yezi' is naturally Zhou Jing, although she is nearly ten years older than Ye Sumang, but because of her childlike appearance and Ye Sumang's own psychological maturity, the two of them are closer like friends of the same age, and there is no 'generation gap' when chatting about the sky, and her identity is the first sister of the company, and she is a top star in China, so she is qualified to have the confidence to shout this nickname.
As for Zuihou's 'Mr. Ye', it is Yuan Hong who plays the role of 'angel' in the play this time.
Not long after this young man entered the company, although he co-produced a drama with Ye Sumang, the two were still a little rusty, and they were mostly respectful.
"Okay, let's all sit down, this is the first time our crew has met, do you know each other?" Ye Sumang said with a smile, looking at Zhang Xueyou.
Because this time "What If? Among the protagonists of the "Love" movie, only Zhang Xueyou is an outsider, and the rest are all candidates within the company, so Ye Sumang also pays extra attention to the feelings of this 'God of Song'.
And there is another point that Ye Sumang did not explain, that is, the character of this god of songs tends to be shy and introverted, don't look at him so charming on the stage, but he is a full stuffy gourd in life, after getting along for a month, he knows a lot about the character of this god of songs.
Seeing Ye Sumang's gaze, Zhang Xueyou also smiled, and said a little shyly: "Very good, Miss Zhou Wei told us a joke just now, it's very interesting." ”
"It's good to get along." Ye Sumang glanced at Zhou Wei with appreciation, and then officially introduced himself: "I am the director of this movie and the actor Lin Jiandong, who is also one of the leading actors. ”
After Ye Sumang finished speaking, the remaining three people also began to applaud and welcome, especially Zhou Wei was the hardest-working.
In fact, Ye Sumang originally wanted to find Jin Chengwu or Wu Yanzu to play this role, but unfortunately, Wu Yanzu, as a popular Hong Kong star, like Liu Dehua, had already been booked for the second half of the year, and although Jin Chengwu had a vacancy, Ye Sumang decided to abandon him because of one thing.
The reason is simple.
At the beginning, the discussion between the two sides actually went very smoothly, and even the salary was negotiated. However, just when the contract was about to be signed, Kaneshiro's agency made several 'small' requirements.
"Our actors must live in the presidential suite of the five-star hotel they named, and the scooter provided must be the model designated by their agency, as well as requirements such as not eating the crew's boxed lunch, and providing them with the meals they need every day.
"I'm looking for an actor, not an ancestor, you gods love whoever you offer, I won't play with you." When Ye Sumang left, he only left such a sentence, and the angry representative of the other party almost fainted.
Speaking of which, big-name stars actually have some special treatment in the crew, especially some popular big-name stars, and making some requirements has also become a 'rule' that is not in the industry, it can be said that the several requirements put forward by the representative of Kaneshiro's brokerage company were also finalized after considering Kaneshiro's own worth.
It's just that what they didn't expect was that Ye Sumang, a guy who had been in the circle for two years, was still a complete stunned young man.
Looking at the actors who have worked with Ye Sumang, the biggest names among them are Liu Dehua and Liu Ruoying. It's a pity that both of them have a hard-working style, except for special care in accommodation, the rest are the same as the crew, travel by bus, and eat is also a big pot meal for the crew, at most, there are a few more dishes in the lunch box than others.
Ye Sumang's idea is very simple, aren't your actors very popular? Can you be more popular than Liu Dehua? The king of heaven doesn't have so many 'rude' requests, but you made a lot of them, so in a fit of anger, they tore up the contract, and because they couldn't find a candidate temporarily, he finally played the role himself under Zhou Wei's strong recommendation.
Thinking of this, he felt that he was very similar to the director 'Nie Wen' in the script, all because of the problem of the actor, and the final result was that he played the role in the movie by himself.
Thoughts turned, and there were several people in the conference room at this time, among which Andrew, who was the consultant of the song and dance drama this time, was responsible for all the parts related to song and dance in the play, as well as the artistic director Xi Zhongwen, the famous image designer in Hong Kong, was also hired by Ye Sumang to help design the costumes of all the actors in the movie this time.
In addition, there is also music director Jin Peida, who is also an old friend, a famous arranger in Hong Kong, and has collaborated in "Youth Musical" before. The rest were Bai Ge, who was the leader of the photography team, and almost all the main staff members also came to the scene.
Seeing that everyone had basically arrived, Ye Sumang prepared for a while and began to speak.
"I believe everyone has read the script carefully during this time, and they also know what kind of story it is. To be honest, the outside media is not optimistic about our movie at all, thinking that we are a work that follows the trend. has no connotation, no plot, and is purely for the sake of money, do you think such comments are fair? Ye Sumang said here and swept his gaze to everyone, and everyone shook their heads in unison.
Only those who have read the script do they understand what a good movie it is, and those reviews are just some nonsense.
Ye Sumang was very satisfied with everyone's return, and continued: "Yes, I also think it's very unfair, but I also don't want to explain to them and argue with them. All we have to do is make this film well, and then slap them in the face at next year's major award ceremonies!! ”
"Well said, slap them in the face with facts."
"That's right! Ye Dao, don't worry, we will do our best to help you. ”
In the applause of the crowd, "What If? The crew of "Love" is also starting to set sail. (To be continued.) )
