[But looking at where the fallen flowers have fallen, I can't find the breath of spring. How can the cold rain fade away the sadness. Looking closer to the courtyard at dusk, how can I not see the red door open, unable to be locked, my heart following the floating clouds thousands of miles away - Sound
Slow down and go down]
In fact, reporters on the scene have also learned about a problem, that is, at a time like this, the crew of The Fast and the Furious refused to cooperate with Mercedes-Benz, Rolls-Royce and other car giants. This refusal was viewed by some as
It seems quite a pity.
Originally, this matter was not asked by Kerry to ask questions, because he had already asked two questions. If he wanted to continue asking questions, he would at least have to wait until the media on the scene had asked almost all the questions before it could be his turn.
his.
But because Kerry is relatively young and strong, and young people are actually the easiest to accept new things.
Therefore, after he saw this 3D short film, although he was also very shocked, in fact, in such an incident, no matter what it was, he recovered quickly.
Therefore, at this time, other reporters may be immersed in the thrilling and immersive racing scene, but Kerry has already begun to think about how to ask questions.
Therefore, he stood up and asked this question: "Mr. Ye, you have rejected the cooperation from Mercedes-Benz and other car giants, aren't you afraid of cutting off your own options?
As for the second collaboration, if this movie cannot have a good box office, I guess it will be difficult for Fast and Furious to have a second movie."
It can be said that Kerry and most people in Hollywood are not very optimistic about the Fast and Furious crew. Even if this short film is available now, it is very shocking. I think that if there is such a technology, then in this way
A question from Zi will make people feel very novel.
Therefore, the box office may be better, but if there is no explosive box office, Hollywood does not have the habit of making sequels to movies with average box office.
Only those movies that are truly dark horses, have really exploded with great power, and have formed a good reputation among the audience, will have the opportunity to make sequels.
Of course, it’s also good to see whether this movie is suitable for a sequel. For example, the movie Blair Witch is a dark horse among dark horses, so dark that it turns purple, but the sequels that are made are basically blockbusters.
Therefore, what kind of movies can make sequels? In Hollywood, there is actually a unique computing company.
The first condition is that the box office must be good and it must be a hit.
It doesn't mean that you can make a sequel if you make money, it must make a lot of money. What's more, it means that it can firmly capture the audience and make the audience want to watch the sequel, and it is best if it is a mainstream film.
If this is the case, then if you invest in filming a sequel, it is possible to make money.
For example, The Blair Witch Project is a success once and for all, it is considered an exception among exceptions. But if it were to be filmed as a sequel, it would be the same failure. The key point is that the subject matter of Blair Witch is not proven to be attractive enough to continue watching.
The first part seemed novel, but in terms of how to attract the audience to continue watching, Blair Witch was relatively lacking.
Therefore, is Fast and Furious suitable for filming a sequel? At least from Kerry's point of view, if Fast and Furious's box office would not be explosive, it would be almost impossible to film a sequel.
Universal has just released a road movie. This is a lesson learned from the past. Needless to say, at this time, Brilliant Film and Television's special effects will be a huge surprise, but as an experienced expert, Kerry knows better.
Equipment for watching 3D movies is very rare throughout the United States.
Therefore, the impact on the box office of the entire movie is estimated to be limited. Although the technology of Huihuang Film and Television is a huge surprise, both Kerry and the general audience will admit this, but if we talk about the hardware conditions and
If not, then it would be quite futile on a matter like this.
Therefore, Kerry's suspicion is not unreasonable at all.
If the Fast and Furious movie reaches a sufficient level at the box office, it will be proposed to shoot a sequel. Otherwise, ordinary movies, even if they make money, will not even think about shooting a sequel.
But now listening to Ye Ming's tone, at this time, the box office of Fast and Furious should definitely be very high.
Kerry didn't know why Ye Ming had so much confidence before the movie was filmed.
Ye Ming was not surprised. In fact, he already had an answer to such a question. Ye Ming said unhurriedly: "I think this question involves a professionally sensitive issue. Everyone present.
Journalist friends, you must have been doing journalism for a long time. If you are facing a press release, I think most reporters who have been in the industry for a long time should actually have such a habit.
That is to say, under such a situation, once the news you see is published, you should probably have a certain prediction in your mind whether the news will cause a sensation at this time.
Although this prediction may not be 100% accurate, it is estimated to be close to 10% accurate, am I right about this?"
Now Kerry has nothing to say. This is a fact. As a reporter who has been in the industry for more than ten years, if he does not have this ability, then he has been in this industry for so long in vain.
.
Therefore, at a time like this, Kerry nodded helplessly and said: "That's right. Many reporters do have such predictions. The longer they have been in the industry, the more accurate their judgments will be."
Ye Ming nodded and said, "So, can you tell me why?"
Why is this? Kerry can't explain clearly, because such a thing is inherently an impossible question to explain clearly.
Therefore, Kerry also shook his head very honestly and said: "As for why there is such a feeling, I can't say, I can only understand it but not express it. I think it should be a judgment based on experience."
With so many colleagues present, Kerry naturally couldn't just stare and tell lies. If he did, not only would he not get the support of his peers, but he would also be dishonored.
Ye Ming then nodded with satisfaction and said: "That's right, it's experience. This is a matter of experience. In fact, there is no reason to explain experience clearly. It can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.
I have not shot many movies and TV series, but compared with my peers, I am relatively experienced. And when I come into contact with a movie, or even after seeing the movie script, I have already
Know what the box office of this movie will be like.
Although it may not be 100% accurate, if you can judge a matter like this to be accurate, there is still no problem. And some of the movies I have produced and invested in include our Chinese and Korean movies.
Even in the Hollywood movies that I participated in, none of them was a big hit at the box office.
Because when I read the book, I can actually tell whether this movie will be a big hit or not. But if you ask me to tell you why, I still can’t really tell.
After all, when it comes to such a problem, at this time, I don’t know why. This is also a matter of experience.
After I came into contact with the script of Fast and Furious, I actually felt that this movie should be a big hit."
What Ye Ming was talking about was also a matter of experience. If he couldn't explain it clearly, reporters might ask why you judged that this movie would be a hit.
But now after some discussions between him and Kerry, it is clear that in such a matter, this is a matter of experience, and no concrete evidence can be given.
And Ye Ming really invests in Fast and Furious. Therefore, this proves that Ye Ming is really optimistic about the movie Fast and Furious, otherwise he would not invest real money in this movie.
As one of the investors of the film, Ye Ming is very optimistic about the future of this film. This is indeed a reason that Ye Ming cannot refute, because if Ye Ming is not optimistic about it, why would he invest in this film?
Why did you star in this movie?
Therefore, there is no need to debate this issue, and Ye Ming also left a hawkish image to the reporters at the scene.
Chinese reporters basically came to cheer, so some of the questions they asked were quite satisfactory. That is to say, in the end, Lao Bai asked a more realistic question: "Mr. Ye, did you go to this movie?"
Plans for filming in China.”
Ye Ming shook his head. This question was not something he should answer, so he immediately said: "This question depends on the direction of the director.
If the movie plot requires it, then it may be possible, and we can ask Mr. Rob Cohen to introduce relevant matters."
This matter is indeed a question that the director should answer.
Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming himself had nothing to say, but pushed it to Rob Cohen. This is also a very normal thing. This is to take care of the director's face.
If Ye Ming is the protagonist of the entire press conference, then where is the director's position?
Therefore, in fact, at current press conferences, unless there is a question directed at Ye Ming, Ye Ming will try his best not to answer it at this time. It is the same this time. If the director is asked to answer such a question, then
This matter is to give the director face, and if it gives everyone face, it will be conducive to the unity of the crew.
Rob Cohen was indeed very happy and said: "So far, there are really no plans to go to China for filming, because this is a road movie and the storyline basically takes place in the United States. Therefore, there is no plan to go to China at this time.
, or even a plan to shoot anywhere in foreign countries.
But this movie will have a certain relationship with China, that is to say, China’s car brand Bididi will appear in the movie.”
This is considered an advertisement, but this is what Rob Cohen did willingly. After all, if this press conference meant that Ye Ming wanted to turn it into his own one-man show, it would be very easy.
After all, whether they are American reporters or Chinese reporters, many of them are here for Ye Ming. But Ye Ming is very sensible and gives himself face. During this press conference, he, the director, spent most of the time.
Introduce the actors and introduce various details of the movie.
Therefore, at a time like this, it would be a piece of cake to place an advertisement for Bididi Motors.
But that's it, reporter Sam immediately stood up and said: "Excuse me, director, is Bididi Automobile a Chinese automobile brand?
But I have not heard that there are cars like this in China that have been tested by the American Automobile Association. If they have not been tested by the American Automobile Association, then the Bididi car will be illegal when it comes to the United States. How could it be in the movie?
Appeared."
In fact, when he heard this question, Rob Cohen also asked the same question. Now he actually asked such a question in front of a reporter. Naturally, he said that he was very familiar with the answer.
Rob Cohen said calmly: "This question is very simple, because what I am shooting is a road movie, a drag racing party. Therefore, the drag racing party is actually modified cars. Since it is a modified car, then of course the world's cars
It is possible that they have been modified.
As for the Bididi car that cannot legally drive on American roads, our crew has already applied for a prop car plan through Universal Company. The Bididi car will be used as a movie prop in the United States. Therefore, it is possible.
The special approval from the Automobile Association is an agreement between the Automobile Association and our Hollywood Directors Guild.
Therefore, although the Bididi car we appeared in the movie was an underground illegally modified car, in reality, it did have a legal identity and could appear on the set openly."
This time actually illustrates a problem, that is to say, at this time, the Bididi car is indeed not allowed to appear on American roads. After all, it has not been reviewed by the American Automobile Association. But if it is used as a prop car, in terms of speed and
If it happens on a passionate set, it means there is no relationship at all, and this is also within the scope of the law.
Hollywood movies actually have such privileges, and it seems that it is common for reporters on the scene to have such questions about applying for props.
Since Robert Cohen gave such an explanation, it should be a reasonable answer for price comparison. At this time, Sam could only sit down in frustration.
Props, my god, why did you forget this reason? Hollywood has the privilege to explain.
