Chapter 1144 Zhang Yimou's invitation

The first of the Ten Commandments, "There is no true god but me." If this sentence is expressed in Chinese terms, it translates to "I am the first in heaven," and it is better for me to betray heaven and man than for heaven and man to betray me.

Anyway, this is the more correct interpretation of this sentence. Hollywood is actually like this. Those who obey me prosper and those who go against me perish. Those who are disobedient and easy to manipulate are squeezed out. For example, powerful hob meat like Ye Ming.

The best way is to win over those who don't want to give in, so direct wooing is the best way. As for Li Lianjie, he simply returned to China and stopped playing. This is the pinnacle of Chinese Taoist Kung Fu in which one is strong without desire.

Anyway, you have tens of millions, and if I don’t beg you for a penny, what can you do to me? This is Li Lianjie’s current state.

With the signing of the contract between Li Lianjie and the crew of "Hero", the whole matter was settled. At this time, Zhang Yimou directly approached Ye Ming and said unceremoniously: "Ye Ming, Li Lianjie has starred in the protagonist of the movie Hero.

"At this time, there is still a supporting role. If you are not willing to play the leading role, then there should be no problem playing a supporting role at this time."

Ye Ming immediately shook his head and said: "If you are not afraid of screwing up this movie, then I will play a role. I know which role you want me to play. I think Donnie Yen is better. I will not play the role."

Zhang Yimou was stunned. This Ye Ming was different from the Ye Ming he knew. Ye Ming, in such a situation, was a very troublesome existence. No matter what the matter was, as long as it was

Ye Ming decided that there would always be a fight, and if Ye Ming was determined to fight for it, then at a time like this, there would be no one who could be Ye Ming’s opponent. At a time like this,

In this situation, Ye Ming is the most powerful. His invincible and powerful burst of momentum can destroy almost any opponent.

This kind of fighting spirit is vividly displayed in Ye Ming. This is the most terrifying thing about Ye Ming. It can be said that Ye Ming has such a reputation in the world because he has earned it himself. From South Korea to Japan

, from Venice to the Oscars, he stuck to his ideals all the way.

In the West, a sharp-edged personal heroic character like Ye Ming's is very popular.

If a filmmaker can have such a sharp-edged character when it comes to something like this, then that is half the battle. But looking at Ye Ming now, it seems that he doesn't have this kind of character at all.

A character of Zi.

At this time, Ye Ming seemed to be giving in, which was different from Ye Ming's real character. Therefore, Zhang Yimou looked at Ye Ming curiously and said: "This matter is not like your character. You are not

That kind of person who shrinks back. Can you tell me what’s going on inside?”

Zhang Yimou was very curious about this matter. It seemed impossible that Ye Ming had become so polite.

Ye Ming said helplessly: "Director Zhang, I really do this for your own good. Your movie actually stars Li Lianjie, and he is the real protagonist. When you are looking for an actor, you are looking for an actor who will star with Li Lianjie.

, Li Lianjie is the real center, and everything is to set off Li Lianjie. Therefore, if you want to find an actor, his acting skills cannot be much better than Li Lianjie.

Chen Daomin and Liang Chaowei both have better acting skills than Li Lianjie. Therefore, if your movie wants to highlight Li Lianjie's personal character, then in such a thing, Chen Daomin plays Qin Shihuang like this

It doesn't matter if a character, the emperor, has more aura. If Mr. Chen lets the acting go, it will at least be reasonable on the screen. At least Qin Shihuang cannot be afraid when he sees Wuming.

Teacher Chen is suitable, but Liang Chaowei's acting skills are also higher than Li Lianjie's. If the two of them have a rival scene, basically as long as they are in the same scene, Li Lianjie will definitely be suppressed.

Except in terms of kung fu, Li Lianjie can completely beat Liang Chaowei. If you add me, both of them have higher acting skills than Li Lianjie. In this movie, the three supporting roles are more interesting than the leading role. Plus one

Zhang Manyu and Li Lianjie have no room to show their talents.

Therefore, regarding this issue, I can't appear in this movie. It's still Donnie Yen. His acting skills are not good enough, but his kung fu is good. He is more suitable to play the role of Chang Kong.

This matter is definitely a very difficult problem for you, you should think about what you should do, right?"

In the same movie, if the leading actor's acting skills are not as good as those of the supporting actors, there is no solution. Just don't let the leading actors and supporting actors meet. If they are not in front of the same camera, then at this time, even if there is a gap in acting skills

, it’s hard to tell how big the gap is, unless it’s such a huge gap from an extra to a superstar.

But the protagonist Li Lianjie is mainly dueling with the Broken Sword in the Sky, and with the addition of Qin Shihuang, it is impossible for the four of them to play opposite each other. In such a situation, the director's method is very important.

If in a situation like this, the supporting characters always suppress the protagonist, then it is the director's failure, which will eventually lead to the failure of the movie.

In addition to the fact that the plot of Windtalker is not good enough and makes people feel that the whole movie is like an old lady wearing a smelly and long foot-binding cloth, in fact, a large part of it is because the acting skills of the lead actor cannot match the acting skills of the supporting actors. This is also the failure of Windtalker.

A very important reason.

To say that this is director Wu Yusen's failure in selecting roles does not mean that there is nothing wrong with it. If Willis was asked to be the protagonist, then it is estimated that the evaluation and box office of this movie will be higher. Willis is a guy

, playing a small role like a coward who plays a policeman, who is sometimes a little stingy and only fights back when forced into a corner, but it just means that he plays a very good role, and he is a late-blooming Hollywood actor.

The acting skills are of course second to none, they are definitely above the top level.

Regarding such a thing, Ye Ming saw the movie "Hero", which actually has such shortcomings. Li Lianjie's acting skills are not too bad, but if compared with Chen Daomin and Liang Chaowei,

Then the result at this time is something that no one wants to see.

The acting skills of the three people are not at the same level. As for the question raised by Ye Ming, Zhang Yimou actually didn't take it as the same thing at first. But in the end, after thinking about it carefully, it seems that such a thing is really true.

That's the case, no matter how it is said. At this time, he must consider this issue himself.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou was deep in thought. He frowned and said, "The acting skills of the three of them are a problem, but all three of them have signed contracts. Even Zhang Manyu's acting skills are better than Li Lianjie's, and she also signed a contract.

Only Zhang Ziyi's acting skills can't match Li Lianjie's.

Well, it's okay to say that Zhang Manyu is not allowed to have scenes opposite Li Lianjie. The relationship between her and Liang Chaowei is unclear. There is no problem in letting them have more scenes opposite each other. If Zhang Manyu and Li Lianjie are not allowed to have scenes opposite each other, this will be very difficult.

This gap in acting skills has been handled well.

As for Liang Chaowei, this is not easy to handle. The story is like this. Wu Ming must have a fight with Can Jian, and there must be a rivalry. It is impossible for Li Lianjie to escape. It is not easy to handle."

The problem is that several people have signed a contract. Now even if they want to change the contract, it is not an easy problem. After thinking about it, Zhang Yimou glanced at Ye Ming and said: "Ye Zi. Since you said it has already been

Now that you have seen such a problem, do you have any ideas at this time? Don’t say you don’t have any. Once you see it, there is a solution. There are also many big-name stars in Hollywood who guest star in movies, and they also have solutions.

There is no way, you should be more familiar with this matter than me."

This matter is a fact. Not all the superstars in the 20 million salary club in Hollywood are starring. For example, the Hollywood superstar Schwarzenegger, maybe Uncle Shi is considered an antique-level superstar, but his influence

There is no doubt about it.

For example, at this time, he made a guest appearance in a movie [Batman and Mr. Freeze]. It seemed that he took away 25 million in salary in about 20 days. In terms of momentum, Schwarzenegger was absolutely blown away.

George Clooney. Even in terms of acting skills, Schwarzenegger is better than George Clooney. At this time, how to adjust the contrast between the two people is a difficult task for the director.

Of course, the result was fruitless. Director Joe Schumacher failed completely and never made a top Hollywood blockbuster again. This is the cruel place in Hollywood. If you fail, there is no chance to come back, unless you are a top director, such as

Talk about the existence of the four major director levels.

Of course, there are directors in Hollywood who are good at this method. For example, Spielberg, Lucas and Coppola are all masters in this area. No matter how powerful the superstar is in their hands, they will be arranged very well.

Okay, that's it.

Ye Ming has been in Hollywood for a while and has met many relevant people. Zhang Yimou believes that Ye Ming should have a way to handle such a matter.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yimou had a glimmer of hope. The actors could not change, but how to mediate the relationship between the actors was very important.

Ye Ming thought about a plot in "Hero" and knew that Zhang Yimou actually found a solution to the problem in the end. Finally, he hesitated and reminded him: "Li Lianjie just said that his acting skills are not good enough, not that his acting skills are worse, but he is better than Liang Liang."

Chao Wei, Chen Daomin and others are not the same, but Li Lianjie actually has strong points, such as kung fu. Li Lianjie's kung fu has a strong blessing on acting skills. Compared with Liang Chaowei, he can make a fuss about kung fu. As for fighting with Li Lianjie

Chen Daomin compared the above. When two people meet, there is an extra candle in the middle, so that the candle can truly express the changes in his mood. This will help Li Lianjie get closer to Chen Daomin in acting. In this way, it is almost the same.

It can ease the contradiction between the characters’ acting skills.”

This is a method that Zhang Yimou will use when filming in the future, and it is a relatively easy-to-use method. Zhang Yimou will think of it anyway, and now I tell him that it is just a favor.

After hearing this, Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "This method is good, this method is good, I will use this method to shoot later. The remaining supporting roles have not been selected yet, I will find a few who have average acting skills but are more qualified.

Actors will play the roles, so it can ease the difference in acting skills between the leading role and the supporting role."

As long as it is good for the movie, then it is a test of understanding to find a few actors with average acting skills. Moreover, in the Chinese entertainment industry, there are many such actors. After all, not every veteran actor has the same acting skills.

Good enough. Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, finding a few such people will indeed play a balancing role.

When it comes to such a matter, Zhang Yimou is obviously a veteran, and he is relatively experienced in dealing with this kind of matter. Looking at Ye Ming, Zhang Yimou said: "If I give you someone who has nothing to do with Li Lianjie,

Supporting role, will you appear in this movie?"

Being able to bring in the superstar Ye Ming is also a good promotion for the movie. Even if it is a friendly guest appearance, Ye Ming will be asked to come and participate in the performance. If his acting skills are better than Li Lianjie, there is no problem. He will be listed separately.

Just come out with a character.

Ye Ming thought about it and said: "There is no problem with this. It's just a guest role. It doesn't need too many scenes. It's an isolated role. It's best if it can be filmed in two or three days."

At this time, Zhang Yimou seemed to have heard that there was something in Ye Ming's words, and immediately said: "Aren't you just a variety show running man? It seems that you are not very busy. You have a bunch of people, so you can't

You can do everything yourself, right?"

Ye Ming said with a smile: "That's not the case. However, Roland Emmerich said that he was making a movie, which was also a science fiction movie in Hollywood. He asked me to play a role. I will consider the elements and see if there is a chance.

If so, I will compete for one of the roles."

Roland Emmerich also dated Ye Ming. At that time, Emmerich discussed the script with Ye Ming. Ye Ming suggested that he use the scene of the final showdown at the New York Library. This result

Accepted by Emmerich.

When he was finally designing the script, Emmerich also saw that the character of the homeless man was more suitable for Ye Ming, so he invited Ye Ming to audition.

Hollywood has Hollywood rules. Their directors will have very great rights. They can choose the actors they like, whether they are American, European or Chinese. And Ye Ming, a director, happens to have this relationship.

He is a good person, and he is the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, so this fully proves that Ye Ming's acting skills are impeccable.
