Zhang Yibai did not dare to neglect, and immediately called the driver to take Ye Ming straight to the airport. If there was no big deal, Han Shanping would never let his secretary come over. Therefore, Zhang Yibai did not dare to delay for a moment.
The sky is clear, the blue sky is spread in the sky like a velvet blanket, without a trace of clouds, the sun is like fire, and the scorching sunshine unbridledly radiates the scorching summer heat.
Everything seems to be in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in a big steamer, except for the rolling river, which seems to be more and more turbulent.
In the car, Zhang Yibai was blowing on the air conditioner, but he didn't feel how cool it was. Finally he couldn't help but said: "Ye Ming, tell the truth, why did the Third Master come to you?"
At this time, Ye Ming was also a little confused. He shrugged his shoulders and said: "Director, I swear, I really don't know. I'm still wondering why the third master came to me." At this time, Zhang Yibai looked at him in confusion.
Ye Ming said: "Isn't it what Third Master told you about Mao Duoduo?"
He always thought that such important news should be told to Ye Ming by the third master, so he had no doubt about the authenticity of the news. At that moment, Ye Ming shook his head and said: "No, it wasn't the third master who told me. In fact, it was yesterday
Do you understand the news that Director Zhang Yimou told me?"
Of course Zhang Yibai understood that Mao Duoduo's words had offended the Imperial Preceptor. Now, anyone with a discerning eye would be able to see whether the Imperial Preceptor was acting behind his back.
No wonder Mao Duoduo is so unlucky, it turns out he offended such a great god.
At Pudong International Airport, Han Shanping's secretary Xiao Li walked out of the aisle alone without even bothering to salute, and immediately saw Ye Ming waiting outside.
This young man is not simple. Xiao Li looked at the young man in front of him who was younger than himself, but even the third master attached great importance to the value shown at this moment.
After winning the title of king in the first battle, Ye Ming's position in the third master's heart will become even more important.
Otherwise, I would never have allowed myself to come here.
Thinking of this, Xiao Li walked forward without showing off and introduced himself very politely.
Of course, Ye Ming also introduced Zhang Yibai, and Zhang Yibai knew it very well. This was Ye Ming helping him expand his network of contacts. If he could have a relationship with Han Shanping's secretary, it would be much easier to do things in the future.
Aren’t these relationships in the film and television industry developed step by step?
Anyway, there is nothing wrong with getting to know him first.
When Zhang Yibai said that he wanted to invite Xiao Li to dinner, Xiao Li decisively refused and said very seriously: "I'm sorry. Director Zhang, I have something else to do. I came to Ye Ming to take him back immediately."
Yes, I already asked when I came here. There will be a direct flight to the capital in half an hour, and Ye Ming and I will follow him back. Director Han is waiting in the capital, and I don't dare to delay."
Having said this, Zhang Yibai naturally understood that the matter must be very urgent, and immediately asked the driver to buy two plane tickets and deliver them over.
On the plane, Ye Ming wanted to ask what was going on, but this made him feel unsure at all.
At this time, Xiao Li said very mysteriously: "The task that Director Han gave me was to find you, but he didn't tell me the rest. I didn't dare to ask about other things."
The plane arrived in Beijing very quickly. It was time for lunch, but Xiao Li didn't dare to stop for a moment, so he took a taxi with Ye Ming and went straight to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television.
After arriving at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Ye Ming was still confused as to what was going on. His film company had completed post-production and sent it for inspection. Could it be that there was something wrong with the film?
Impossible, this is impossible. [Crazy Stone] is just a comedy, so it definitely shouldn’t solve the problem, right?
In Han Shanping's office, Ye Ming was sitting across from him, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Han Shanping then said: "Ye Ming, I really didn't expect that you kid would make such a big move for me, and you would be crowned king in one battle.
, this time, your company should have made a lot of money, right? The record sales exceeded two million, no, it is said that it has already passed the three million mark.
Ye Ming is said to have counted money until his hands cramped.
Ye Ming immediately said politely: "Third Master, you are joking. It's just luck. What are your orders for coming to me?"
Han Shanping didn't seem to be too entangled in this issue. He immediately said: "Recently, there have been floods in South China and Northeast China. I think you should know about it." Basically everyone knows this news, Ye
Ming immediately nodded, but he didn't know what Han Shanping meant, and he didn't dare to express his position casually.
At that moment, Han Shanping said: "Actually, the matter is more serious than what was reported on TV. The higher-ups have decided to boost morale. In order to show our determination to fight the flood to the end, we have decided to send a group of people to the front lines of the flood fight to express condolences. Moreover, we will do this next time
A disaster relief concert will be held every month. The purpose of my coming to you this time is to ask if you would like to go to the front line of flood relief to express condolences."
Ye Ming asked tentatively: "First line? There should be some uncertainties."
Han Shanping was stunned at first. It was impossible that Ye Ming actually understood this relatively well. But looking at Ye Ming's expression, it seemed that he had stopped something.
At that moment, Han Shanping said immediately: "Of course, there are some uncertain factors, but we will try our best to ensure the personal safety of those who go to express condolences. Moreover, we will not let you go in vain, there will be rewards. I suggest you follow
go."
Ye Ming didn't say anything. This was a political task and he couldn't refuse it. Instead, he agreed and it was always beneficial.
At that moment, Ye Ming said decisively: "Okay, if the third master says there is no problem, then there is absolutely no problem. I agree."
Although he agreed happily, until he left Han Shanping's office, he was still confused. Wouldn't he just go to the front line of the flood fight to express his condolences?
At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly met an acquaintance in the corridor and immediately greeted him: "Director Feng, why are you here too?"
The person who came was none other than Feng Xiaogang. He was dressed in casual clothes and looked a little tired. It seemed that he had just been pulled over from the set. Feng Xiaogang looked back and was amused: "Ye Ming, you boy. I heard that you are going to Shanghai to film a movie.
Right? By the way, I know why you came here, you also have a film submitted for review, right?"
Ye Ming asked in confusion: "Director Feng, what on earth is going on? I'm confused. I was filming in Shanghai and was directly sent by the third master to find him."
Feng Xiaogang laughed loudly and said: "Not only you, but also several directors who have films released this year have been summoned. It is said that they are going to hold an internal meeting. Chen Kaige, Ye Daying, Yang Yazhou, are they here anyway?
You'll know when you go in."
Sure enough, when they walked into the conference room, Ye Daying and Yang Yazhou were already waiting inside, and there were a few others who looked like directors and producers, but Ye Ming was not familiar with them, so he didn't say hello.
On the other hand, Feng Xiaogang greeted Ye Daying and Yang Yazhou and sat down.
After a few people exchanged greetings, less than five minutes later, Chen Kaige also walked in with a gloomy look, and Mao Duoduo was taken down directly. Although Chen Kaige killed Ma Su with tears and distanced himself from Mao Duoduo, but now...
, he also made Ye Ming bear a grudge.
Although he said that he knew that Ye Ming was not responsible for this matter, if it were not for Ye Ming, would Mao Duoduo be able to offend Zhang Yimou?
How could Zhang Yimou, a national master, have suffered such an end without offending him?
Therefore, the way Chen Kaige looked at Ye Ming at this time was a bit unkind.
The situation in China has always been like this. Master Han Shanping arrived slowly and late. He squinted his eyes and looked at everyone present. It seemed to be a warning. At this time, except for Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang
Ye Ming and others were all shocked. Could it be that there was important news to be announced?
At this time, Han Shanping slowly sat down and said: "Everyone, I have called you here today. Actually, I have something to tell you. You all have works released this year, but my film market is so big, why?
What to do, of course, "Red Lover" is the main movie this year, and there is absolutely no problem with the schedule. It is a prime time slot, a summer vacation time slot. Don't even think about rushing to get this slot. There is no use in fighting.
What I want to talk about next is the schedule after August. Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins Qin" will be released in August, so it will account for half of the theater quota, and Ye Ming's "Crazy Stone" will also be released in August.
When it is released, it will occupy 30% of the theater quota."
At this time, several second-tier directors and producers were a little reluctant. Chen Kaige occupied half of the screening hall. No one else had anything to say. After all, he is an international director and a big shot, and his arms can't twist his thighs.
But who is Ye Ming? Is he a newbie in the directing world and can he direct movies?
At that moment, someone stood up and said: "I have a question, why [Crazy Stone] can occupy 30% of the screening hall, and our remaining five films only share the remaining 20%. Isn't this too little?"
Although [Crazy Stone] is a film supported by the Radio, Film and Television Administration, my film is too."
The thorny head, Han Sanping did not expect that he would host this mediation meeting and actually say that there was also a thorny head there. However, when he saw the director secretly glance at Chen Kaige, Han Shanping immediately understood that it was Chen Kaige who was there.
Support your back, otherwise, the director would not have the guts to raise this issue.
At that moment, Han Shanping said: "Why, just because Ye Ming can think about the overall situation at critical times, he has sold more than three million records, but he still goes to the front line of the flood fight to show condolences. If you have this sales volume of records,
And if you can go to the front line of the flood fight to show condolences, I will also give you 30% of the theater, do you have any opinions?"
Do you have any objections? Of course not. Didn’t you see that Mr. San’s face turned livid now?
Who will be the leader at this critical moment?
Even Chen Kaige, who had initiated this matter, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was closing his eyes to rest, as if the matter was none of his business.
Although the film distribution rights were broken by the emergence of the "Notice on Further Deepening the Mechanism Reform of the Film Industry" in 1994, which was called Document No. 348 in the industry, China Film Corporation's monopoly was broken. However, by 1998, domestic films were actually still
The key that has been under exploration is the theater chain, which has not been liberalized.
When you make a movie, you always have to show it. To show it, you need theater support. But in China at that time, what to play in theaters and how to play it largely depended on the leadership's wishes.
Even if it is an Oscar-winning movie, if the leaders don’t nod, which cinema would dare to show it?
