The first thousand two hundred and ninety-nine chapters have their own calculations
The five-flowered horse and the golden fur, when drunk, are not only filled with all kinds of melancholy.
Time flies like a shuttle, weaving a net with the threads of time, leaving behind the helplessness of life and the desolation of half a window.
After all, in fact, what Cohen himself wants is a reputation. As a director, choosing roles is not his own responsibility. This is somewhat unjustifiable.
But things are different now. At a time like this, when Ye Ming chooses his own roles, he will take Cohen with him. Although Cohen does not have the right to make decisions, he does have the right to make suggestions. This ensures that the director has the right to make decisions about the whole process.
It is rumored that the control of the movie is also a role selected by the producer and director. As for who has the final say, reporters don’t know about this, so Cohen thinks it’s nothing.
What's more, what Ye Ming wants is the choice of three leading roles. The other supporting roles are all decided by the director. Producer Ye Ming said that he will not participate. If Universal wants to recommend a few people, they can recommend them.
Recommendation is based on the director's own judgment of who is more suitable.
This means that the power is given to the director. Therefore, when everyone discusses, most of the roles will be lost to the director's choice, which means that the crew is still under the control of the director.
Therefore, on such an issue, Cohen has no opinion on the contract at this time. In fact, even if he has any opinion, it is useless. As a director, he has no say in such a matter.
.
But Ye Ming believes that as a director, you always have to make movies, and you always have to convince the director, so that he can work hard for you.
Therefore, on such an issue, no matter how he said it, Ye Ming took care of Cohen's emotions. After signing the contract, the matter was settled.
Alexander laughed loudly and said: "In that case, things are settled like this. When the filming of the movie starts, we will notify you in advance."
For Hollywood movies, signing a contract is basically finalized, but when to start shooting, this also requires preparation. Even in China, it takes time from signing the contract to starting shooting, so in
At this time, as a top-notch movie in Hollywood, it naturally requires enough time to prepare.
Of course, these have nothing to do with Ye Ming. Now Ye Ming just says to wait for the notification, and then go to the crew to report. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "If I think about this matter well, then Mai
Dolph won’t come forward in person, right?”
After all, this matter is a matter of money laundering, so it will still cause some damage to one's reputation. Although any rich person must be doing tax avoidance and money laundering. If he is an offshore company, it is normal.
Already.
But it's one thing to do it yourself. It's another thing to openly admit what you did and stand in front of the public. From Ye Ming's point of view, at this moment, although he is talking about what Madoff did,
, but it seems impossible for him to come forward in person.
Therefore, Ye Ming asked this question at this moment, and Alexander nodded and said with certainty: "That's right, not many people actually know this news. Mr. Madoff just wants to launder money in a reasonable way. Therefore, in such a situation,
Under such circumstances, he would not come forward in person, but he has his own company, his own lawyers and accountants to contact us, and this is absolutely wrong."
Madoff himself is not a fool, so he knows very well that doing this is walking a tightrope. The money must be taxed. Therefore, at this time, the money is originally going to the US government. Therefore, at this moment, you
If the money is laundered, the money will no longer be in the hands of the US government. Under such circumstances, if you come out to support this matter openly, that is a slap in the face.
Ye Ming nodded and said: "That is indeed the case. In such a situation, Madoff is careful enough. If this is the case, I should not deliberately say anything about my investment and let the people of the world find glory.
I will let people handle this matter through normal advertising, and I will take care of it in terms of publicity."
As an investor, if you can silently make a fortune, that is the best result. Therefore, in such a matter, no matter how it is, Ye Ming does not want to be reported.
Invested by myself.
Anyway, if the U.S. tax authorities find out on their own, that would be one thing, but it is indeed not good enough for Ye Ming to openly participate in a money laundering movie and publicize it everywhere.
Alexander said without thinking: "There is no problem with this matter. In fact, under such a situation, Universal does not want others to know that this movie actually has nothing to do with Universal. I will do it in terms of publicity.
Let the people in the publicity department pay attention. But as for the role, I hope you can decide it as soon as possible. After all, it is related to the speed of the subsequent crew."
At this moment, Ye Mingcai nodded and said: "Don't worry, I almost have some ideas in my mind. In about ten days, I will be able to solve these problems and it won't delay anything."
Only by finalizing the actors can the crew's operations proceed smoothly. Therefore, regarding such an issue, Alexander did not hope that there would be any uncontrollable problems on Ye Ming's side. When he heard Ye Ming agree so happily, this
I felt slightly relieved.
In fact, it is not that easy to find Ye Ming in China this time. Alexander is also a veteran producer at Universal, and it is not impossible to even say that he will be promoted to the manager of the production department.
Originally, it was not necessary for him to do this kind of thing himself, it would be possible for a small screenwriter or something to handle it. But at this time, since the European matter has involved Ye Ming, then at this time,
One of the problems above is that common sense cannot be used to treat short legs.
At this time, Alexander was directly asked to help. That is to say, on such a problem, if other people are not at ease, maybe Ye Ming will make some other requests. It is impossible for ordinary people to take charge of the matter.
of.
Regarding a question like this, no matter how it was said, Alexander was actually quite uneasy about this experience.
Ye Ming is not a fuel-efficient guy. When it comes to an issue like this, more people actually express a kind of scruples. There is nothing wrong with it, but scruples.
On the plane, Cohen said with some frustration: "This time I heard that the lead actor is a Chinese. Therefore, I think that the crew must be in my heart at this time. Regarding such a matter, I also said that I would change it."
Starring, but as a director I can’t really control the crew.”
This time Cohen was able to follow Alexander to China to find Ye Ming. In fact, it was impossible to say that he had no selfish motives at all.
Cohen came here, more or less, because of Ye Ming. He wanted to say that if he could suppress Ye Ming, then on such an issue, he would really be able to say yes to the crew.
But Cohen never expected that Universal itself was unwilling to participate in this movie, which was said to be a top-notch Hollywood production. Instead, Madoff was the investor behind it, and Ye Ming was now the producer of the film.
It is precisely because the crew created such a situation that Cohen was very unhappy at this time. Ye Ming was a bit of a bully.
Alexander consoled him and said, "That's how Ye Ming is. As an actor, he really never interfered in the filming. Whether he was working with Spielberg or other directors, he actually never had any direct conflicts.
Yes. But since he is the producer, then naturally he has to do what a producer should do on such a matter.
We have all underestimated Ye Ming. Although he has not been in Hollywood for a long time, he is also very clear about some of the rules of Hollywood. If he wants to restrain ordinary directors and actors,
If Ye Ming were bound by his own rules, then such a thing would be impossible.
This is Ye Ming, who is not very famous in Hollywood. If you are looking for stars who are in the real 20 million salary club, then you have not seen how difficult they are to take care of, even if they usually drink water.
What kind of water it is is reflected in the contract. Speaking of which, Ye Ming is a relatively easy-to-serve star."
It is easy for superstars to play big names. Cohen also knows this. There are some things that he knows very well in his heart. Ye Ming is not a superstar in Hollywood. This is not wrong, but on this issue, Ye Ming is not a superstar.
A superstar is an occasional rich man. Even in the United States, where there are so many rich people, Ye Ming, an outsider, can be regarded as one of the richest people in the world. Therefore, it is impossible to regard Ye Ming as an ordinary star.
At this moment, Cohen also said helplessly: "Maybe I have more demands on the crew. On such an issue, I should try to cooperate with Ye Ming instead of thinking about how to suppress Ye Ming and suppress a person."
Being a celebrity is no big deal, but if you suppress a rich man, the result may not be what I want to see. Ye Ming is definitely not treated like an ordinary rich man."
At this time, Cohen finally understood something from this. Alexander glanced at Cohen with great relief and said, "That's pretty much what happened. If you are like this now and you can understand it, then then
When you were filming The Fast and the Furious, it was relatively easy, otherwise you might be ignored. Ye Ming, this guy, is more complicated than you think.
People like Schwarzenegger, Spielberg, Murdoch, Soros, etc., none of them dare to despise Ye Ming. From this point, we can see what kind of person Ye Ming is.
Okay, you dare to suppress such a person, don’t make yourself uncomfortable. I brought you here to let you know that Ye Ming is not easy to mess with. Being an honest director is better than anything else, otherwise he
It’s not impossible for you to replace someone every minute.”
Directors? The most important thing in Hollywood is directors, and there is no shortage of obedient directors. What directors lack is opportunities.
Therefore, at this time, Rob Cohen is actually lucky. No matter how it is said, Fast and Furious is considered a top Hollywood production from the perspective of investors. Who can be the director of such a movie?
It’s also a very glorious record on his resume.
If a movie like this can make money, then at this time, it will help Cohen gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry.
Therefore, thinking about the importance of a movie like this to me, although Ye Ming is a bit difficult to deal with, as a senior, Rob Cohen decided not to be on the same level with him.
At this moment, George, the guy in Ye Ming's car, also said with emotion: "Mr. Ye, I originally thought that Universal just came to you to be the leading actor. In fact, I am also very puzzled by this opportunity. Universal and this group of people
, how can I get you to be the leading actor? Don’t mind, this is a common practice in the Hollywood entertainment industry. Generally, unless it is a kung fu movie, Asians are rarely used. To be precise, Chinese are rarely used.
of.
Even if it is a Kung Fu movie, it is normal to find Chinese people to play supporting roles, but there are not many leading roles, and there are only a few movies that make money. Therefore, in the entertainment industry now, even if it is a Kung Fu movie, Chinese people are cast.
There are almost no starring actors left.
What's more, this is a road movie. This is not an ordinary movie. It is a road movie that belongs to American culture. If you find a white person to take a movie like this, you may not be able to accept it. If you find a Chinese,
I think you should be more cautious. Even if you have signed a contract, as your agent on this issue, I suggest you think carefully about the reasons."
In fact, it sounds like George, the agent, is relatively qualified. After all, it means that he can give Ye Ming some suggestions on such a problem, and they are relatively useful suggestions. Without him,
Under the circumstances of harming his own interests, George can be regarded as a qualified agent.
Ye Ming nodded firmly and said: "Don't worry, George, I will be careful about them. In fact, I shouldn't be careful about Universal. No matter what, Universal is a movie company, right? What I should be careful about is Madoff."
