Time has turned the green onion into luxuriant hair, and the waste has turned yesterday into quicksand. And today, who plucked the strings of time and let tears drip on the branches of time.
Of course Ye Ming doesn't care about Universal. They have less than 5 million in investment, so they won't pay much attention to this movie at all. Moreover, Universal is a company in the entertainment industry, at least on the surface it will follow the rules of the entertainment industry.
As long as Universal wants to work in Hollywood, it will at least follow the rules of the entertainment industry on the surface. If they follow the rules of the entertainment industry, then Ye Ming will not be afraid of anything. As for whether he can secretly organize
What kind of hands and feet? It's hard to say.
In fact, Ye Ming is not afraid of what they do secretly.
After all, on such an issue, there is no one behind Ye Ming. But what Ye Ming cares about most now is indeed Madoff. This guy is simply an old fox. This guy is responsible for the biggest Ponzi scheme in this century.
You can imagine how high this guy's IQ is, but his emotional intelligence is definitely a few steps ahead of Einstein.
Anyway, no matter how much attention is paid to a Tang Dynasty like this, George is not sensitive to this, because he has no idea what kind of person Madoff is. On such a problem, Madoff’s
Disguise can still deceive some people.
Therefore, George didn't care much about Ye Ming's words and said easily: "Isn't Madoff not involved in the movie?
A financial person doesn't just want to launder money. He is not alone in Hollywood. He just manages money and doesn't care about anything else. Don't worry, I will help you pay attention to this. By the way, change the contract matter, company
The decision to give you a B-level contract is because the company attaches great importance to you. In the Chinese entertainment industry, the only actors who are higher than you are Cheng Long and Li Lianjie."
Ye Ming knew that his contract would be replaced by a second-tier contract sooner or later. This was related to his changes in the entertainment industry. Although Ye Ming was said to be influential in the past, he had never been a starring actor after all.
.
This time, although it is said to be a money laundering movie made by Universal, there is no doubt that this Fast and Furious movie is a top-notch production.
Therefore, in a contract like this, William Morris is not willing to give it to Ye Ming, but Innovation will be given to Ye Ming. This is to win over Ye Ming.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "Why is it a B-level contract, not an A-level contract? What I got this time is a top-level production. In Hollywood, 50 million should be considered a top-level production movie, right? Why wasn't it given to me?
An A-level contract."
From Ye Ming's point of view, he should actually be offered a first-tier contract with the Creative Artists Agency this time, but he didn't expect that in the end, he would just be offered a B-level contract.
George rolled his eyes at Ye Ming and said, "Boss Ye, forget it. This Hollywood has Hollywood rules. We have a complete calculation method for what level of contract an actor should be given. How about it?"
It is not up to one person to decide what kind of contract to give, it is decided by the company.
An investment of 50 million is indeed considered a top-notch production in Hollywood, and although you have begun to receive invitations to star in top-tier Hollywood movies, you have not actually starred in it at this time.
After you finish playing The Fast and the Furious, if your next movie is of the same level, then you don’t have to say it, our company will change it to a top-notch production for you. On this point, the company will still
No one is exempt."
Although George still said that he was very similar to the artist who let Ye Ming become an A-level contract, because if Ye Ming's contract became an A-level contract, then as an agent, George's own commissions and other things would be very high.
Many.
Therefore, in such a matter, Ye Ming's interests are actually the same as George's interests, and there is no conflict between the two people at all.
But at this time, either you want an A-level contract or it must be an A-level contract. Now giving Ye Ming a B-level contract is because Ye Ming has already reached this point, and only a B-level contract is suitable for Ye Ming.
Because of his identity, Ye Ming didn’t need to say anything. The people from Innovation Company naturally said that they would change the contract.
At this time, Ye Ming said without thinking: "Is it because the first movie I received was a top-level production, and the company was afraid that my performance would not be stable enough? If the second movie is also a top-level production,
Does it show my value by starring in the movie?"
George nodded very firmly and said: "It's almost like this. In fact, many stars in Hollywood are like this. They received the starring position of their first top-level production. At this time,
It's starting to swell. If the first top-level movie doesn't get enough box office, they will soon be pushed back to the second tier. This is not uncommon in Hollywood.
Therefore, the company will not give a Yanyan a contract promotion casually. It can only say that your first film is a top-notch production, and the box office of this top-grade production cannot be a loss. It is best to make money at the box office, plus the surrounding products.
Only after the development can determine that the actor really has A-level value, the company will give him an A-level contract.
Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, no matter how it is, the parent company also needs to look at the stability of an actor. What the company wants is an actor with stable performance, not a one-time performance.
Sexual paper cups, you should understand the company’s difficulties.”
A-level contracts are indeed not that easy to get. After hearing this, Ye Ming was also very helpless, but the actual situation is indeed like this. On this issue, Ye Ming said helplessly: "Can
Guaranteeing box office is quite difficult. It seems that not many stars in Hollywood can get A-level contracts. Isn't there a reason for this?"
George also nodded and said: "An A-level contract must have A-level treatment. The company will take care of it in terms of publicity and other aspects. Therefore, at this time, almost all second- and third-tier stars will
I was hoping to get a contract like this.
If you can get an A-level contract, then such a thing will also guarantee your career. At least for two or three years.
You don’t have to worry that your career will not develop at this time. The company will give you a lot of help, whether it’s in movies or awards. You know, whether it’s a Golden Globe or an Oscar, there are always people above us.
"
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Does it mean that the Oscars can also be operated behind closed doors? If it is determined by default, will it be exposed?" If this is really the case, then this matter will be a relatively big scandal.
.
George laughed and said: "Oscars will not be determined by default. This is too troublesome. After all, it is impossible for so many judges to do it all. But there are many judges who are related to our company. A little influence on the Oscar will be
No problem. You will understand this once you get an A-level contract."
In Hollywood, the United States, independent films are not unable to win awards, but they are rare. Unless it is a truly extraordinary and truly artistically produced independently produced film, it is possible to break the monopoly of the Big Eight in Hollywood. Generally speaking,
Speaking of which, the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars can only be won by films with a background and company.
Therefore, regarding a question like this, no matter how Ye Ming has started to get involved in this circle, he still needs to understand some of the unspoken rules of this circle.
For example, the contract issue this time is something that Ye Ming has never encountered before. In the past, lawyers would naturally handle everything, but this time, Ye Ming has to choose his own future path.
Keep going like this.
Ye Ming pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "Balance, I will pay attention to things like this. If I don't sign an A-level contract, I won't sign it. I will wait until the next movie. When this is the case, I will let innovation
He came to deliver the contract to me in person."
Having said this, Ye Ming is full of confidence. The purpose of entering Hollywood is to have a better development. It seems that it is not impossible for Ye Ming to go to Hollywood to become an A-level star. And sometimes, these are the things that are missing.
It's just an opportunity.
Now Ye Ming's opportunity has come. Fast and Furious, although not many people are optimistic about this movie, and even investor Madoff has no interest. But at this time, Ye Ming has indeed determined that this movie
It is a very good movie and he is confident that it will do well at the box office.
But Ye Ming has such confidence, it is impossible for them to have such confidence. Universal's own evaluation department believes that Fast and Furious has no audience. But in fact, on such a question
, in fact, almost everyone does it this way.
If we do this, more people can help Hollywood bear the risks of film investment. Hollywood is so big, but there are very few movies that can actually make money at the box office every year.
If you mean making money by turning it into peripheral products or something, then basically many Hollywood movies survive based on this. This is also the way most Hollywood movies survive.
Therefore, Ye Ming himself has such great confidence, and it is impossible for others to have such great confidence. George thinks that Ye Ming is arrogant, and there is nothing wrong with Ye Ming having a background, but if he says that he does not have good works
, It is impossible for Innovation to give an A-level contract. As an agent of Innovation, he himself is very clear about this.
Back at the company, Sister Fang Fang immediately came to the door and said: "Boss, this time we have signed such a contract with Universal to invest in their movie, and this is your first Hollywood movie in which you play the leading role. I think so
At this time, it should be well publicized."
In fact, many reporters were waiting for this news when I was in Brother. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "There is no need to specially find reporters to hold a press conference. The company cooperates with Universal, and this can be used for publicity.
, to ensure that our brilliant film and television will continue to make news in the entertainment industry."
In the entertainment industry, when there is news, there is exposure. If there is enough exposure, there will be more opportunities to perform. And in fact, on such an issue, more people
They all want to expose it as soon as possible. But when it comes to an issue like this, some things are not that simple.
Sister Fang Fang was also very curious and said: "This is a good opportunity to promote yourself. Now our Chinese actors want to open a top-notch film in Hollywood and star in it. This is almost impossible, why not
Let’s promote it.”
Yes, it is almost said that very few Chinese stars can star in top-quality Hollywood movies. Even Cheng Long focuses his main energy on China.
Therefore, Ye Ming's signing of Fast and Furious at this time is a very good publicity opportunity. Sister Fang Fang actually doesn't understand why Ye Ming is unwilling to publicize this matter?
Ye Ming said with a smile: "I want to know that if we publicize this matter, it will be very beneficial to me, but don't forget, now is the time of Super Girl. If it is my news, we will
If there is a large-scale hype, it will have a certain impact on Super Girl.
Even if I don’t tell you about the news about the separate certificate, if our company doesn’t hype it up, reporters will help hype it up. Therefore, we don’t have to worry about it, otherwise, it will steal Super Girl’s limelight. Besides,
By the time Supergirl is over, Fast and Furious has almost started filming, so we’ll have plenty of time to hype it up.”
Ye Ming is not only an actor, but also a boss. Therefore, such an issue makes Ye Ming a special existence among actors. But since this is the case, then Ye Ming, as the boss, is
You must assume certain responsibilities.
For example, this time, if he hypes up his own news, he will definitely compete with Supergirl for the limelight. Therefore, for one reason, he cannot hype it up, which can be regarded as a sacrifice.
While enjoying the benefits brought by rights and status, you must also assume certain responsibilities.
