545. Learning
This time he went to the United States, Ye Sumang was not going to do a three-day or seven-day tour, but really decided to start visiting Hollywood and prepare for his new movie.
Although so far, Ye Sumang has not had much inspiration, but it is also a good idea to conceive while being familiar with the environment, and for new movies, Ye Sumang naturally wants to focus on the North American market, be familiar with the environment, and be compatible with culture, which is undoubtedly very beneficial to the conception of new movies.
Miramax now has only two films, in fact, this production company starts shooting more than a dozen films every year, and most of them are art films, and this time is no exception, this is still not Disney did not sell this company to Ye Su Mang before the determination.
It's just that Disney didn't like these two films, so they didn't pay attention to them after selling the company.
The director found the door of Disney and was naturally turned away, and then came to Miramax in desperation, Ye Sumang did not refuse, in fact, he is not very optimistic about these two films, the artistic atmosphere is too strong, the audience is very narrow, it must be sent to a specific group of people to watch, at least don't want to get any considerable benefits from the two films.
But the film company is not afraid of anything else, just afraid of being idle, but fortunately, the investment in the two dramas together is less than three million, Ye Sumang thought about it and took it, all to warm up the company's operation.
At this moment, Ye Sumang came to the United States, but he was glad that he did not reject these two directors at the beginning, at least now he has a good environment for experiencing life.
So the next day, Ye Sumang came to the crew of one of the films with the title of producer, at first the director thought that this was here to spy on himself, the most annoying thing for the director of this kind of art film is that others interfere in his own films, and his temper is stinky and hard, and he has no eyesight, so he didn't give Ye Sumang any good look.
Ye Sumang didn't care much about this, anyway, the other party didn't say anything bad. At most, it's a little lukewarm when talking to yourself.
Sure enough, in the following days, the director found that Ye Sumang did not interfere with the crew at all, and he gradually unloaded his heart and began to communicate with Ye Sumang.
Although the other party is just a little director, Ye Sumang is still happy to talk to him, and Jishu can't learn anything. But there are a lot of small details to be learned from Hollywood filming.
"Ye, you are a great director and a good boss, the content of this food truck is really amazing, thank God for letting us meet you." At lunch, the director, Stephen, exaggerated his praise.
"It's good to eat the way you eat." Ye Sumang smiled.
Having a better meal is the 'traditional virtue' of Ye Sumang's crew, and in China, Ye Sumang has already brought out this 'bad habit' of Ning Hao, Yang Qing and other ordinary brothers. The first thing I look for when I go to a filming location is a place to eat, and then establish a haode restaurant as the food and drink for the crew.
Therefore, the food and beverage expenditure of the crew of the World Film and Television Group has ranked first among all domestic crews for three consecutive years, so the people of the Ministry of Finance have troubled Ye Sumang and asked him to control it, but unfortunately Ye Sumang is still a 'repeated teaching' character, no way, greedy.
And this time with the acquisition of Miramax, Ye Sumang felt that this tradition should still be continued. It's just that now the company's small dilapidated building makes Ye Sumang unable to show his hands and feet, so he can only tinker a little in this crew for the time being. When he finds a new development, Ye Sumang will definitely rebuild Miramax.
"Stephen, last time I remember you said, if you want to be a director, it's better to join the Directors Guild. The same goes for actors, but what about the crew, do they need it too? While eating, Ye Sumang was also curious to ask this question in his heart.
"Of course, the staff also has their own workers' association. Ye, listen to me, although you are a rich man, I believe that no one dares to damage your rights and interests at will, but after joining the Directors Association, it is very helpful to find actors or protect your rights and interests after being infringed in the future. ”
"No, our boss can earn even ten initiation fees in the blink of an eye." On the side, Ye Sumang's new assistant in the United States, Saiwen, retorted that he was helping Ye Sumang deal with the property statistics report recently, and the more he dealt with it, the more shocking he became, and the twenty-five-year-old man's worth was infinitely close to 10 billion US dollars.
It is said that Facebook will go public next year, and with the shares in the hands of the current boss, I am afraid that the value will soar again.
In just five years, he has created such a huge amount of wealth, which has completely convinced Saiwen, and in the eyes of this high-achieving student who graduated from Harvard School of Finance, Ye Sumang is the god of wealth of the new generation.
"Sorry, I was wrong, according to the Orientals, I want to punish myself with a drink." Stephen raised his hands to admit his mistake, and then very 'consciously' picked up the red wine next to him and poured a glass for himself, and then poured all the cow drink into his stomach.
The corners of Saiwen's eyes twitched when he was watching, this is admitting punishment? You must know that this bottle of red wine was taken out of the cellar by yourself for the boss, and it was just used for the boss to drink, if it weren't for the kindness of the boss, you, the director of a broken art film, could afford to drink red wine worth tens of thousands of dollars?
However, Ye Sumang, as the owner, didn't care at all, but was amused by this Stephen's witty language.
"Stephen, don't cheat on the wine anymore, I gave you this bottle of wine, drink less now, so as not to affect the afternoon shooting."
"I won't get drunk, but since you gave it to me, then I'll take it." Stephen unceremoniously plugged the mouth of the bottle with a wooden cork, apparently not ready to let anyone move.
After lunch, Stephen once again entered the working state, not hee haha, but very sternly commanded the staff on the scene to start dealing with the set, look at this jiashi, Ye Sumang does not have to worry about his state in the afternoon.
"Boss, this big red nose won't get drunk even if you drink two bottles of red wine, you don't have to worry, it's just blind for him to drink." Saiwen, who followed Ye Sumang out of the set, couldn't help but complain.
"Hehe, what's blind, just be happy, Severn go get ready for the car, and we'll go to the Directors Guild in the afternoon." Ye Sumang waved his hand to stop Saiwen's words, he knew very well that Saiwen didn't look down on Stephen, but in fact, Stephen didn't look down on Saiwen, and the two of them were born like enemies.
But these are not problems, anyway, if there is no oneself, the two people will not have any communication at all, maybe it is like this, two people who have no common language and live and work in different environments will be so needle-to-needle.
However, Ye Sumang is now more interested in the association that Stephen said, which sounds no different from the domestic directors' association, but Ye Sumang always feels that he will give himself a lot of surprises where to go. (To be continued......)
