Chapter 1419 Dominance of the entertainment industry
[Misty rain fills the green willows, the winter snow has melted and the spring water is cold. The long street seems endless, and the spring breeze blows all night by the bridge.--Wandering Zi Yin]
The Bizarro team came, and they were hosted by director Rob Cohen. As another team that was invited, Ke Shouliang's team also came with them. Although it was impossible for the director to entertain two teams at once,
The person who received Ke Shouliang's motorcade was Ye Ming. Almost everyone in the crew knew that Ye Ming was the boss of the entire crew. It was just that under normal circumstances, Ye Ming was unwilling to take care of the crew's affairs.
From the opening ceremony of the crew, we can see how much energy Ye Ming has by inviting Schwarzenegger and Jackson. Can the crew invite these two superstars? That is impossible
Yes, whether it’s Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jackson, they are basically at a point where they may not be able to hire them later even with money.
Not to mention letting someone just play a supporting role, this is almost impossible, at least the director Rob Cohen doesn't have the face to do so.
Therefore, this matter was actually invited by Ye Ming. This is his ability. In fact, the people in Hollywood admire the most people who are capable. No matter how hyped they are, but in a situation like this, at this time
, Ye Ming’s energy is enough to be respected by the crew.
Therefore, in fact, the boss of the crew is Ye Ming. Even Robert Cohen is very clear about this. The two outsiders, Bizarro Racing Team and Ke Shouliang Racing Team, are not very clear about it. They think that the director of the crew is naturally the biggest
Yes, at least when the producer is not present, the director should be the biggest person.
After Ke Shouliang arrived at the scene with his people, Ye Ming slowly came out of the dressing room and led his people to find Robert Cohen and said: "Director, this is our Ke Shouliang team from Hong Kong City. This is the captain Ke Shouliang. He is very famous.
car stuntman."
The director felt a little unhappy. What would it be like if these two teams came together? Ke Shouliang's team is the backup team. In the current situation, the first team has not been used yet. You have pulled the backup team.
Come out, this is a bit against the rules.
However, in a situation like this, Rob Cohen had nothing to say. In fact, no matter what the situation was, he still said very politely: "Welcome to any team that is filming our movie."
Come, we are all very welcome, and I just said that as long as you can help our movie and shoot the shots we need, everything else will not be a problem."
At this time, Robert Cohen actually reiterated his point of view. I just said that we want results. As for the process, there is nothing to say. We don’t want the process, just the results.
Morgan also followed up and said: "Everyone has said before that everything is based on the needs of the shooting. Since Mr. Ke has brought people here, we will prepare a convoy first. If there is any need, the crew will let you participate in the necessary
work."
Ke Shouliang was actually mentally prepared for this matter. He came here just to be a backup team. Speaking of his own stunt team from a port city, he was invited to Hollywood at this time to be the main stunt team. Ke Shouliang himself was also
Not very trustworthy.
After all, Ke Shouliang is relatively clear about the traditions of the Western entertainment industry. They are relatively discriminatory against Chinese people, and even against yellow people. Therefore, in fact, when signing the contract, he already made it clear.
The Ke Shouliang Racing Team came to Hollywood to serve as a substitute team, which means that if there is a problem with the Bizarro Racing Team, the Ke Shouliang Racing Team will take over.
Therefore, Ke Shouliang Racing Team was not surprised by this, but said with certainty: "We will do our best,,,,,,."
With these words, Ye Ming didn't have to endure it to know that he was going all out to do what he should do, but this was not what Ye Ming needed. Ye Ming immediately interrupted Ke Shouliang and said: "Hide it, Morgan, this
Something is wrong, you said Mr. Ke’s team came here as a substitute team, right?”
When talking about this, Morgan actually felt the cold breath from Ye Ming's eyes. For a person like Ye Ming, despite his usual cheerfulness, it seemed that he didn't talk about anything.
It is normal to keep it in mind, but if a person like this really loses his temper and becomes serious, it will definitely be a scary thing.
Therefore, at this time, Morgan seemed to feel that he was doing something wrong. Could it be that there was something wrong with what he said?
Because he was worried that he had said something wrong, Morgan immediately made a pause gesture, then took out a document from his bag, looked at it and said: "That's right, Mr. Ye Ming, we signed a contract
According to the contract, Mr. Ke’s team was invited as a substitute team, mainly because we were afraid that the Bizarro team would have some problems during the filming process, and a substitute team could take over to avoid delaying the filming.”
In fact, these words made Morgan fall into the category of two-faced people.
Bizarro Racing Team is not in high definition. That means you look down on our Bizarro Racing Team. You haven’t started filming yet. In such a situation, you actually said that you want us Bizarro Racing.
If there is a problem with the team, what are you worried about?
As for Ke Shouliang's team, naturally it was not easy to accept the fact that he was writing in front of the public. Although such a thing is a fact, there are some things.
In fact, it is something that everyone can do, but cannot be said openly.
Therefore, at this time, not only the Ke Shouliang Racing Team, but also the people of the Bizarro Racing Team felt uncomfortable. And at this time, the most unhappy person was naturally Ye Ming.
At this moment, he said angrily: "I don't think very well about this matter. Didn't I say that the Chinese team would also be invited as the main team? Your contract actually stated that Mr. Ke
The team came as a substitute. Did you not take my words to heart and think that my words are not very important? Therefore, you changed the contract without authorization."
This is what Ye Ming is very unhappy about. After all, as a team invited by Ye Ming himself, in such a situation, he is actually a substitute. Where do you want Ye Ming to put his own face? Like this
Something that could definitely make Ye Ming angry. Morgan had already seen the signs of Ye Ming's rage.
Therefore, at this moment, Morgan immediately said: "Mr. Ye, don't be angry about such a thing. In fact, such a thing has nothing to do with me. This job with GM is not done by me, let alone the director.
What we did was a contract that Universal had already made. This had already been decided by the people above. That was how it was at the time, and I had no right to change it."
Ke Shouliang opened his mouth to say something. After all, he was talking about being able to go to Hollywood. This was already a good start for Ke Shouliang's stunt team. If he was talking about having a conflict with the crew at this time, it didn't seem to have much impact.
That's great. You, a convoy that just arrived in Hollywood, actually said that you don't obey the crew's arrangements very well. This can immediately leave the impression of being unruly on the people in Hollywood.
Therefore, Ke Shouliang does not want such a thing to happen. If he takes advantage of such an opportunity to develop his stunt team in Hollywood, then this will be a very big deal for Ke Shouliang himself and Ke Shouliang's team.
It was an important matter. Therefore, what Ke Shouliang wanted to say when he opened his mouth probably meant nothing more than settling the matter and letting everyone make a concession.
But for such a thing, although Ke Shouliang is willing to accept such a reality, in fact, even if he does not accept it, there is nothing he can do. After all, the contract has been signed. If he regrets now, he will have to pay liquidated damages. No.
Wrong, even if it is a substitute team, if it breaks the contract, it must be in accordance with the contract. According to the urine of the Hollywood crew, the liquidated damages must be set at a very high price.
But this is Ke Shouliang's idea. Ye Ming doesn't think so. Ke Shouliang's team was invited by himself. Therefore, in such a situation, he was actually regarded as a substitute. Therefore, in
At this time, it was not only Ke Shouliang’s team that lost face. Ye Ming also had no place to put his own face.
Therefore, Ye Ming immediately said: "I don't care about this matter. You call Alexander immediately. The contract must be modified and the treatment will be according to the main stunt team. Otherwise, we will not be finished with this matter.
"At this time, even the handymen on the crew can hear what Ye Ming means by saying this. It's not over, it's definitely not over.
According to the extent of Ye Ming's frustration, he could not finish a matter like this, which was definitely a big deal for the crew.
Ye Ming is unwilling to challenge the director's authority. It's not that he is unable to challenge, but he is unwilling to challenge. But when the crew tries to challenge Ye Ming's authority, in such a situation, the matter is that Ye Ming is not willing to challenge.
A problem that can be tolerated.
Just like this, Ye Ming said that he wanted to hire Ke Shouliang's team as the main team, but the crew actually signed a contract with Ke Shouliang's team as a substitute team. This was a loss of Ye Ming's face.
It would be strange if Ye Ming could settle this matter. Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Ye Ming was alone, and his domineering aura exuded, making the entire scene silent.
Ye Ming really never lost his temper on the set of The Fast and the Furious. Therefore, although he is highly regarded as not only a leading actor, but also a producer and a billionaire, in fact, there are really not many people who sincerely
I respect him very much because Ye Ming is a person who is easy to get along with and he feels very approachable.
Therefore, he has the highest status in the crew, but in terms of prestige, he is relatively lacking. No one like him will respect Ye Ming very much.
After all, the impression Ye Ming has given everyone so far is that of a good gentleman, with the humility unique to Eastern people. But such an attitude is actually an illusion. If it is to say that Alexander and Ito Xiao
If Shen and others knew what the Fast and Furious crew said about Ye Ming's behavior, then a mouthful of blood would probably be able to spurt out a long way.
Can a treacherous and vicious person like Ye Ming be considered a good person? If he were a good person, there would be no profiteers in the world.
Ye Ming's shrewdness in business is a bit scary. For example, for a movie like this that was not very good and was favored by Hollywood people, Ye Ming finally got more than 20 million in advertising fees. This is not
Anyone can have this ability. This is just Ye Ming taking advantage of the eagerness of companies such as Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai to want to be in Hollywood.
No matter how The Fast and the Furious is not favored by Hollywood people, no matter what it is, it is still a Hollywood movie, right?
And from an investment point of view, it is also an A-level production in Hollywood. Therefore, even if a movie like this can be produced, it is quite rare for Asian companies. In Hollywood, it is very rare to be able to provide products for its own products.
If we want to make a positive publicity, not all companies will be able to find opportunities in something like this.
Moreover, Fast and Furious itself is a road movie, which is indeed very suitable for car advertising. Anyway, people like this, in the eyes of Ito Takanobu and others, they are profiteers. In the eyes of Alexander, Ye Mingcong invested
From the beginning of this movie, in the end, I actually got the copyright for the latter part.
Although Alexander doesn't know why Ye Ming has so much confidence and thinks that Fast and Furious is worthy of filming a sequel, but now, Alexander just feels that Ye Ming is definitely a profiteer, the kind of person who can't
A profiteer measured by his age. If he were not a profiteer, it would be impossible for him to make a fool of himself around the world.
Therefore, the staff of the Fast and Furious crew thought that Ye Ming was a good person, but that was actually an illusion. They did not see Ye Ming's cunning side, nor his angry side.
But today, Ye Ming really got angry. The powerful momentum like a volcanic eruption made everyone feel it. If Ye Ming loses his temper, it is probably not something Robert Cohen can bear.
Ye Ming, the star and investor of The Fast and the Furious, truly demonstrated his absolute dominance over the crew.
