Chapter 149 Are you breaking the rules of the entertainment industry?
When Zhang Yibai heard such a question, he immediately realized something, that is, there was a traitor in his crew.
It is difficult for outsiders to know the details of the matter of inviting Ye Ming to star in a short time. But at this moment, the reporter actually said that he has grasped the matter.
Therefore, Zhang Yibai was caught off guard and said: "This matter is a commercial secret and the time is not mature yet. Therefore, it is not convenient for me to answer such a question."
However, someone who can be so easily dismissed with just a word of business secret is not worthy of being called a reporter of [Southern Sunday].
It can be said that the current reporters of [Southern Sunday] are daring characters. All of them have unique skills. Even Lao Bai, who has never been very good at dealing with Ye Ming, is not the same in the Beijing entertainment circle.
Very famous.
Therefore, at this time, the female reporter was not discouraged and said: "Director Zhang, this cannot be said to be a trade secret. I have no intention of inquiring about your company's trade secrets. But this also involves some issues of other crews.
Ye Ming can't even be invited to pay 8,000 yuan for an episode. If it is said that Ye Ming will volunteer to shoot the film, this matter is a bit confusing. Mr. Ye Ming, you are breaking the rules by doing this.
"
He directly pointed the finger at Ye Ming. Since he was talking about Zhang Yibai's cunning family, he simply raised the issue at such a time and asked Ye Ming himself. It was impossible for Ye Ming to avoid this issue, too.
There is no way to avoid this problem, otherwise, at times like this, he will stop hanging out in this circle in the future.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "Actually, this is not a very mature idea. Originally, I wanted to experiment it first. If it succeeds, then share the experience with everyone. If it fails,
Then I will bear the consequences alone. In fact, this is a new attempt, and there is nothing wrong with it. I did not want to star in this TV series for a penny of pay."
At this moment, there was a lot of discussion in the audience. Even the female reporter of [Southern Sunday] was caught off guard by Ye Ming. If Ye Ming tried to defend himself in every possible way, then the female reporter had already said that she thought
There are various ways to deal with it.
However, she never expected that Ye Ming would admit such a thing so decisively. This is unscientific. What does he want to do? Does he still want to make TV series in the future? If he breaks the rules, no one will invite him in the future.
.
After being stunned for a long time, the female reporter asked: "Mr. Ye, it is said that someone has paid you 8,000 yuan to film a movie. Why did you agree to star in this movie for free?"
Ye Ming immediately pointed at the female reporter and said: "Ma'am, please pay attention to your wording. I said you don't get a penny of remuneration. I don't mean that I will star in this drama for free. In fact, I have already participated in investing in this drama.
My remuneration is tied to this drama. If the ratings of this drama are good after it is broadcast, the greater my income will be.
How to put it this way, it’s similar to the method used in [Party A and Party B] directed by Feng Xiaogang, but Director Feng didn’t ask for any salary, but received remuneration based on the box office of the movie.”
This statement shocked all the reporters present. There is no need for remuneration, participation in investment, and income based on ratings. This is something that has never happened before in the mainland entertainment industry. At least no one in the TV industry dares to use it.
This is an avant-garde way to participate in a TV series.
Because even if China TV's new year's dramas are carefully selected, there are still many with dismal ratings. Therefore, at this time, most celebrities who appear in TV dramas receive a fixed salary for their performances.
One-third is charged when signing the contract, one-third is charged during the shooting, and the last one-third is charged after the shooting is completed.
Everyone in the industry does this, but there is no rule saying that celebrities cannot participate in investment in TV series.
At this time, the female reporter was in a daze: "Well, Mr. Ye's method has never happened before. It's quite new."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is also following the trend of the times. I happen to have a film and television company, which is now Brilliant Film and Television. If I have a company, I can just invest. Anyway, the people in the company are idle. This person
Do you have any more questions, ma’am?”
In fact, most of the reporters present got the news. In fact, they were all because of the blockbuster news that Ye Ming participated in the filming of "Love to the End" for free. Of course, some of them were because of Ye Minghe.
The grudge between Mao Duoduo and Mao Duoduo comes from the fact that the relationship between these two people is not very good, which is basically no secret in the circle.
So the two of them are in the same crew, which means there will definitely be a good show to watch.
But, in the end, Ye Ming suddenly came up with the investment [Carry Love to the End]. They invested it themselves, not to mention that they didn’t pay a penny. Even if they said they were giving money back, you couldn’t control it. Don’t think that TV dramas don’t give back money.
The money is gone, not just one or two people have lost their fortunes due to the TV series.
As for the conflict between Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo, which everyone has high hopes for, there was no progress due to Mao Duoduo's absence. Some reporters even believed that Mao Duoduo's absence was arranged by the crew to prevent reporters from discovering the relationship between Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo.
some conflicts between them.
The next day, major media began to report one after another. First, the female reporter of [Southern Sunday] reported [Ye Ming’s unpaid participation in [Love], is it an innovation or a hype?] This media insisted on consistent
Ye Minghei's pattern, anyway, the news that is beneficial to Ye Ming is usually reported in Spring and Autumn style, while the news that is unfavorable to Ye Ming is definitely a big write-up in a situation like this.
There is also a report from [Shanghai Entertainment] [Mao Duoduo and Ye Ming competed on the same stage, and Mao Duoduo was absent from the press conference because he was ill]. The focus of this article is to explore the conflicts between the crew, Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo.
Anyway, at this time, Jin Jianlin was not in a good mood when he saw the report. He said angrily: "Lao Zhang, this is not a good thing. The focus of the media has been on Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo. They are not interested in our new...
The drama doesn’t get much attention. If this continues, who will buy our TV drama? Are you going to make some news?"
Zhang Yibai said with a smile: "You, you still don't understand some of the rules in this circle. Why did we invite Ye Ming and Mao Duoduo to come? It is to attract everyone's attention. In such a situation, the media's
The more attention they pay, the better things will be for us in a situation like this. Paying attention to the two of them is actually paying attention to our crew. Can't you understand this?"
Ye Ming is the current male protagonist of "Carry Love to the End", and Mao Duoduo is also an important supporting role in it. Paying attention to the two of them is actually paying attention to the crew of "Carry Love to the End".
In a coffee shop in Shanghai that overlooks the entire Bund, Ye Ming and Zhao Wei are enjoying this rare leisure time. The Yangtze River is rolling eastward. With the sunset on the river bank, they can see the endless river water.
You can walk through this prosperous city easily and circle around without taking away any sadness or loneliness. It is as calm as a piece of flowing emerald.
The setting sun dyed the water on the river bank red, and the sparkling light seemed to coat everything on the river with a little bit of bright red. It was so beautiful that people wanted to lock this moment in their hearts and keep it for a long time. At this time, Zhao Wei sighed and said: "You
This person is just going to cause trouble for himself. If you say you want to participate in the stock market, then just participate in the stock market. If you say it openly and confidently, isn't this going to cause trouble for yourself?
How many people hate you and gnash their teeth with hatred. Actors receive a fixed salary. This has always been the practice in the industry. Tell me, if you do it like this, does it mean that you are a little too busy?"
Ye Ming smiled and didn't take such a thing seriously at all, as if he didn't cause it at all. He put down the coffee in his hand with a smile and said: "Don't you think
Do some things in this circle need to be reformed?
Besides, even if I didn’t say anything about the situation at that time, the director would have said it.” Zhao Wei shook his head and said, “Of course it’s different. If your director said this, the responsibility will be his in the end, but you
If you say it yourself, then everyone will target you.
How many actors rely on this fixed salary to make a living? Once you come out, many people will have nothing to eat in the future. You said, how can others not hate you for things like cutting off people's wealth?"
Ye Ming was very sure and said: "Don't worry, the director may do that in the future, but not many actors will do that. I didn't expect to be the first one. They won't want to ask me for something like this in the future."
Might find it on my head.
Most actors still get a fixed salary. By the way, how do you feel? I said that in Baodao, [Huanzhugege] is not so popular now. If you go to Baodao now, then
You will enjoy the treatment of a first-line star, even a superstar."
Speaking of this situation, Zhao Wei said with a happy face: "It's really like a dream. I didn't expect that a Qing Palace drama filmed under such conditions would actually be so...
A strong reaction. At least, now that I’m on the set, I don’t have to act based on other people’s faces. I’m not used to it.”
These words are not pretentious by Zhao Wei. There is no need for her to be pretentious in front of an old friend like Ye Ming. She is just speaking from her feelings. Zhao Wei's second TV series is actually able to become so popular.
Soaring into the sky, this is like riding a rocket and becoming famous. It is reasonable for her to be unable to bear this kind of treatment for a while.
