Chapter 68: Mutual Powder
Yao Ming didn't come alone, and he was accompanied by Maddie.
After Maddie saw Wang Mingming, her eyes lit up, and she went up to shake hands very enthusiastically and hugged Wang Mingming.
"Coach, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Wang Ming nodded with a smile, "Tracy, have fun." ”
"This year's All-Star Weekend attracted more big names in the entertainment industry than in previous years." Yao Ming took Wang Mingming and the others in, and he felt very familiar.
"Why?" Wang Tomorrow was curious.
It's normal to attract stars from the entertainment industry to participate in All-Star Weekend, and it's a little incomprehensible that there are more sports and sports than in previous years.
"Because you think, where is this?"
"Here it is...... Las Vegas, so, is it because of the casino? ”
"The feeling of spending a lot of money is the instinct pursued by all rich people."
Wang Mingming sighed with emotion, thinking that fortunately Lao Tzu had no money.
"Don't you really play?" Yao Ming repeatedly confirmed that Wang Mingming didn't want to stud with him, and then left Wang Mingming and found a gambling table to play by himself.
Wang Ming found a sofa to sit on, and indifferently looked at the crowds in the casino, and the figures were staggered.
"How do you sit alone?"
"Aren't you going to play?" At this time, a man who took the initiative to talk to sat on the sofa, he combed a decent middle perm, and the second half of the sentence spoke in Chinese.
"It's not interesting to not go, it's not interesting." The king will make a hache tomorrow.
He glanced at the man who came over, the Asian face, which seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
"Is it Coach Wang Mingming?" But the man recognized Wang Mingming and took the initiative to stretch out his hand to say hello.
Wang Mingming shook hands with him, and finally remembered, isn't this guy the director of Fast and Furious, the famous filmmaker Lin Yibin?
Lin Yibin is a little chubby, but he is gentle and elegant.
He is one of the few Chinese-American directors in Hollywood, especially in commercial films, who has made great achievements, and he is very young, and he has only been in the film industry for two or three years.
"Director Lin!" Wang Ming laughed and mentioned the speed and passion of his shooting3, "I like your work very much, I really hope to see the next one soon." ”
"Fast and furious? I didn't get a call, I wonder if there will be a next one? Lin Yibin said with a wry smile.
"There will definitely be."
Some thoughts popped up in Wang Mingming's mind, and he said firmly: "And it will be a very good masterpiece." ”
"Yes, then if there is, I have to borrow your auspicious words." Lin Yibin laughed, raised the wine glass in his hand and touched it lightly with Wang Mingming.
"To be honest, I actually like the NBA."
"I remember when I first came to the United States, I watched an NBA game, which was the showtime era when Magic Johnson led the Lakers, and since then I have fallen in love with the NBA and aspired to enter the NBA and become a professional basketball player. ”
"And then?" Wang Ming asked with a smile.
"And then you saw it." Lin Yibin smiled and pointed to his stomach and face, "I'm blessed, my God, I've become a literary and artistic worker." ”
"Making movies is your second dream?" Wang Mingming found it amazing, a director who aspired to be an NBA player.
"Yes, I'm very happy, in the past few years, I was fortunate enough to be a director, and I'm trying to develop in the direction of a producer, I feel that I can be the best Chinese director."
"Ambitious." Wang Tomorrow gave a thumbs up.
"I came here with a few friends today, I didn't expect to be able to meet so many NBA big stars, Coach Wang, I am also your fan, your wisdom on the court, I admire."
Lin Yibin was obviously not saying polite words, and his tone was very sincere.
Wang will be able to tell the difference tomorrow, since he has used the "sincerity microphone" many times, he can inexplicably have such a feeling of discerning the sincerity of other people's speeches.
"I remember one time, when I was filming Fast and Furious 3, I walked into the set, and the security personnel thought I was delivering a boxed lunch, and they never thought that I could become a director like a Chinese, they didn't have such awareness." Lin Yibin told his experience of being discriminated against in Hollywood, which was very bland, and he obviously saw it.
Wang Ming smiled helplessly, "I have also experienced these things, in the NBA, Asian American workers are very difficult, and there are almost no Asian American workers. ”
Lin Yibin also said that when he didn't have any fame a few years ago, it was really difficult. In Hollywood, everything depends on relationships, and this kind of system has existed for a long time, and it is difficult to change. He didn't know anyone, so in the end he had to use his credit card to raise money to make a movie, and slowly got better after a few small-budget productions.
The two of them have a feeling of the same experience, both of them have broken through the difficulties that ordinary people cannot understand, and have become respected small achievers.
Saying this, Wang Mingming still admires this Chinese compatriot a little in his heart, he doesn't have a golden finger, he is a real name.
"What movies do you like?" Lin Yibin and Wang Mingming chatted about the movie.
"I don't like to use my brain when I'm in leisure, so when I watch movies, I like to watch the kind of movies that have a strong sense of picture, a relatively compact plot, and a bloody fight scene, and it's best to add a little humor. In Chinese terms, it is to watch the excitement, and it is best to be cool. ”
"You speak the essence of commercial films all at once." Lin Yibin laughed, Wang Ming is very sincere.
Wang Ming will not pretend to be literary and artistic, if he likes it, he likes it, so like the Fast and Furious series, he likes it very much, and it is very popular taste.
The two talked a lot about the movie itself.
For example, in addition to speed and furiousness, what else can also achieve the style that Wang Mingming said.
"Transformers or the sci-fi universe." Wang Mingming said with confidence: "In the future, such movies will definitely occupy the box office market, especially science fiction movies adapted from comics, superhero series, which will definitely sell well." ”
"Superheroes?" Lin Yibin never thought that this aspect would develop.
Judging from the current American movie market, there are not many superheroes that Wang Ming said sold well, just like last year, there was only one "Superman Returns" in the top ten of the box office list, and further on, there was only one "Batman 5"
DC can still take a look at it, Marvel Comics is almost on the verge of giving up this market.
"Yes, it's a pity that I don't understand movies, otherwise I would have invested in making a superhero, such as Captain America, such as Iron Man." Wang Ming sighed, and secretly scolded himself for thinking too much, the copyright is someone else's, and he is not qualified to shoot at all.
"I've also heard that Marvel Studios studios are really looking for investment, and they seem to be preparing to make their own films." Lin Yibin suddenly felt that he was underestimating Wang tomorrow, this guy actually wanted to invest in making a movie, didn't he know how much money he needed to burn to make a movie?
"Is it a joint venture with an investor?" Wang Tomorrow was overjoyed, thinking that this was an opportunity to eat cake, and seized Lin Yibin and asked, "How can I get involved?" ”
