The first thousand one hundred and seventy-four chapters of the Murdoch family's grievances
Loyalty is because the stakes for betrayal are not high enough. Kerkorian is not an artist. Therefore, Ye Ming is very convinced that this guy is the kind of person who will definitely put interests first.
Emmerich said with some luck: "I really feel sad for the history of MGM. Those capitalists are not just for movies. Fortunately, we have a big tree at our back to enjoy the shade. With News Corporation, basically
You don’t have to worry about the possibility of being sold.”
If the Fox Film Company was taken over by other capital, it might be sold midway at this time, but News Corporation is different. News Corporation itself is in this industry. The old guy Murdoch plans to let Fox
The film company that laid golden eggs for him will naturally not sell the hen of Fox Film Company easily.
After arriving at the company, Emmerich got out of the car and told Luo Tian: "This time, we actually have three choices for this role. Although this is a tramp role, the choice is still
I'm more cautious. The first one to decide is you, the other one is Eminem, who you should be familiar with, and the last one is Glenn Palmer, a very good black actor."
Ye Ming was not surprised at all that this was finalized. It is a routine in Hollywood to choose a role and select a few actors to audition. Even if it is the protagonist, there will be at least one alternative.
Therefore, he said nonchalantly: "This is a very serious director. I hope to compete. I'm still looking forward to this opportunity. By the way, Eminem, this bastard, doesn't make records, so why did he come here to act in a movie?"
?”
Ye Ming was not very familiar with Glenn Palmer, but when it came to the day after tomorrow, he knew this person to some extent. The homeless man with the dog in the library was originally played by Glenn Palmer.
On the other hand, it is surprising that this guy Eminem wants to participate in this movie.
Emmerich said with a smile: "Who knows what this guy is thinking. No one in Hollywood knows what this guy in a trance is thinking about in the next second, but you can't deny it. This guy is a genius.
He is one of the top rappers."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "And the most important thing is that he is a white man, right?"
Maybe so. Most of the American rappers are black and more famous. Finally, a white master appeared. Naturally, he was looked at differently. In the company office, the secretary told Emmerich that Glenn Pa
Moore has been waiting for him for a long time.
Entering the office, Emmerich said very apologetically: "Glen, I kept you waiting for a long time. I just went to pick up someone. I would like to introduce to you the supporting actor in Mission Impossible, Ye Ming, the Oscar-winning actor."
The winner of Best Supporting Actor is of course also one of your competitors."
This is the real thing about American directors. I will introduce him as your competitor in front of you, and I will make this clear.
It's not like domestic movies that like to hide their actors when selecting actors. Pamore greeted Ye Ming, which was quite polite, and then said with great regret: "Director Emmerich, I'm really sorry.
I don’t think I can take this role.”
This question immediately stunned Emmerich. Before the audition, Pamore said that he wanted to withdraw. Which part was he singing? At this moment, Pamore said helplessly: "This matter is actually very serious."
Unfortunately, you know I have a movie [Voodoo Curse]. I am the screenwriter of this movie, and of course the actors. At this time, it is difficult for me to spare time to shoot the day after tomorrow. Although this is a small-budget movie
It’s a movie, but I’ve already agreed to go there.
Therefore, I can only say sorry to you."
In Hollywood, there is such an unbreakable rule that you can't cheat on the scene. At least the main actors can't cheat on the scene. Guests are not included. The leading actors must not cheat on the scene, otherwise they will be ostracized by the entire Hollywood.
.
Therefore, you will not see big names like Tom Cruise, Schwarzenegger, Stallone, Bruce Willis, etc. taking on two movies at the same time. This is a rule of survival in Hollywood, and anyone who violates it will be punished.
There's a price to pay.
Therefore, at a time like this, Parmore could only say sorry to Emmerich.
And as a courtesy, Pamore came to say it in person, which also gave Emmerich face. Emmerich seemed to understand this problem very well, nodded and said: "Well, in that case, we will have
We will cooperate again if we have the opportunity.”
After seeing off Pamore, Emmerich came back and said: "Ye Ming, you have one less competitor. Pamore is also an actor with great potential, otherwise he would not have been chosen. Now it is
It depends on the performance of the ruffian Eminem. You will compete for such an opportunity."
At this time, a very firm voice said: "There is no need to choose, this role is decided to be Ye Mingcheng, Eminem guy, God knows what impact he will have on our movie, let him be honest
Let’s go sing?”
At Twentieth Century Fox, there are very few people who dare to speak in such a tone.
But when Emmerich saw the person coming, he immediately shut up. This person had more say than the company's CEO Dile.
Ye Ming stood up, hugged the person, then punched him and said, "James, I thought you were your boss in Hong Kong City, but I didn't expect you actually returned to the United States. When did you come back?"
The person coming was Murdoch's second son, James, the future successor of News Corporation. He was also the guy in the Murdoch family who had the best relationship with Ye Ming.
Even saying that James went to Hong Kong City was deceived by Ye Ming. Of course, it seems now that even James himself feels that going to Hong Kong City has indeed given him a workout.
At this moment, James said with high spirits: "I only came back recently. I was recruited by my father. There are important things for me to do. I will be responsible for the operation of the movie the day after tomorrow. This is a big deal for me."
No. 1 news, my father will see if I have the ability to stand alone in Hollywood."
If the future heir of News Corporation cannot conquer even Hollywood, then he should not inherit News Corporation because of such a thing. This is also a test for Murdoch’s son. Ye Ming naturally said that he knew this
What does the test mean when the Master talks about it?
He said with a smile: "James, congratulations. It seems that your father sees your hard work. Therefore, you should seize this opportunity at this time."
James shrugged his shoulders and said: "My father not only gave me a chance. He also recruited Elizabeth back and asked her to be in charge of the operation of another movie [I.Robot] produced by 20th Century Fox. In fact, this is what it looks like.
Let’s see who is more capable, me or my sister.”
This is a family matter of the Murdoch family, and it is difficult for others to say anything. Even Emmerich is not willing to hear this matter at all. When gods fight, it affects mortals. The inheritance of billionaires' wealth is always very difficult.
Bloody things.
Lachlan, the boss of the Murdoch family, has been completely abandoned. Therefore, Elizabeth, the daughter, also felt that she had such a childish idea of competing for the heir. But the little girl never thought that she was just the second brother James.
It's just a whetstone.
But Elizabeth doesn't think so. This time she is presiding over and running the movie. It is planned to star Will Smith. It is a big science fiction production.
Elizabeth is very ambitious at this moment, thinking that she can defeat her second brother in this confrontation. If she can defeat her second brother James, her eldest brother Lachlan will also be knocked out directly. The remaining one who most hopes to inherit News Corporation is
She is Elizabeth.
Although she herself believed that this matter was unlikely, her father would not have entrusted News Corporation to her if he had not had convulsions. But if she did not have any ambition in such a matter, such a large family property would be given to her.
The second brother, Elizabeth, is not very willing.
And James is actually quite helpless. He is dealing with his own sister, which he doesn't like very much.
But Elizabeth's ambitions were too great. She didn't want to divide the family property, but she wanted to take over News Corporation and take possession of it all.
Even Lachlan, the eldest brother, just said that he wanted to share more. Therefore, no matter what James said, he would never let go of an opportunity like this.
Ye Ming patted him on the shoulder and said: "It's actually [My Robot], starring Will Smith. For a project like this, you have to be careful. Will Smith's price is 20 million, and his
The salary is enough to pay all our actors the day after tomorrow."
He is a member of Hollywood's 2,000-film box office club. He is affectionately known as Emperor Shi by Chinese movie fans. This shows how huge this guy's influence is in the entertainment industry.
James complained a little: "Yes, I am a little strange about this matter. Do women like to use big-name stars? Emmy from Colombia is also a person who likes to use big-name stars. My sister Elizabeth is also like this.
, it seems that women all like big-name stars the same way. Otherwise, can we also find first-line stars to perform the day after tomorrow?"
Competing with his sister, it would be really shameless to lose. Therefore, James is more cautious when it comes to such an issue. At this moment, Emmerich seemed to have suddenly thought of
What is the general saying: "By the way, I came up with an idea to adjust the script. Let's talk about it."
The things James mentioned are no longer about the crew, but some secrets in the entertainment industry, and even the household affairs of the tyrant Murdoch, the boss of News Corporation. Listen to who James is complaining about, Columbia's Al
Mei, the only Columbia Pictures person that James can complain about is the boss of Columbia Pictures, Emmy Pascal, the Queen of Columbia Pictures and one of the most powerful women in Hollywood.
In fact, the less we know about this kind of thing, the better. If we can say that we don’t know, then Emmerich will be safer. Therefore, thinking about James’ continued complaints, there may be some secrets that will be revealed from time to time.
, therefore, in such a situation, he thought of an excuse and left directly.
Ye Ming can listen to this kind of thing and participate in discussions because Ye Ming has the capital and the ability. The president of Huihuang.com is enough to be on an equal footing with James.
Moreover, Ye Ming is a partner with Soros. It just means that Murdoch also praises Ye Ming very much. He praises Ye Ming on various occasions. It is said that James, the second prince, goes to Hong Kong City.
It was encouraged by Ye Ming. Of course, James obviously made the right move in this way.
Now James has built the port city like an iron barrel. It is even said that under such a situation, James has extended his hand through the port city to the British side.
This is very consistent with News Corporation's efforts to develop its European business. These are all promoted by Ye Ming behind the scenes. But Emmerich does not believe that he will reap good results if he participates in this. Maybe he was
Direct elimination is not impossible.
Does James not care about what Emmerich is going to do? What he wants is for Ye Ming to give an answer. After all, leaving the harbor city has fully demonstrated that Ye Ming is quite strategically capable.
Discerning.
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think there is actually no need to do this. As long as you do your own thing, our two movies have different styles. Therefore, if we can tell the winner, then
One is to look at the method of shooting a movie, and the other is to look at how a movie is run. Stars are one aspect, but it doesn’t necessarily mean inviting people from the 20 million club. If she invited Will Smith, we will definitely
Want to invite Tom Cruise over?
Not necessarily. Sometimes, it just depends on how good you are. Both of these are good movies. The key is to see how we operate these two movies."
These two movies cost NT$120 million, and the box office was NT$540 million. The cost of "I Robot" was NT$105 million, and the box office was NT$340 million.
From the box office point of view, the advantage is still the day after tomorrow. Therefore, changing people now may not necessarily cause any changes. Ye Ming naturally will not agree to a direct substitution. After the substitution, the box office may not necessarily
