Chapter 1910 also said Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingxing
Ye Ming returned to the capital this time for his own TV series. Hong Fei did some preliminary work, but many things were actually left to Ye Ming himself to do.
Returning to the capital this time, Ye Ming was not so relaxed. After all, there were still many people who knew that Ye Ming had woken up, and there were also many people who came to see him.
In this regard, Feng Xiaogang appeared to be the most active, and Feng Xiaogang's information was also very well-informed. After Ye Ming arrived in the capital, he was directly approached.
Not many people know where Ye Ming lives, but Feng Xiaogang is definitely a friend who knows where Ye Ming lives.
Ye Ming saw Feng Xiaogang, who was tired of work, as if he had stayed up late all night. In this state, he either came from the studio or was thinking about the movie.
Therefore, Ye Ming immediately said: "Director Feng, what kind of situation is this? It looks like you have lost a lot of weight without losing weight. What have you been busy with recently?"
Feng Xiaogang was indeed a little depressed, but after seeing Ye Ming, he cheered up and said: "I am working on the movie "Assembly Number". If you weren't in a coma, I would have thought of inviting you to come and star.
This movie."
The Assembly is not Feng Xiaogang's best-grossing movie, but it is the most meaningful film, with depth and emotion. It can be said that The Assembly is one of the few films by Feng Xiaogang that can be worshiped in the world's movie halls.
Of course, there is also a big earthquake. As for other films directed by Feng Xiaogang, they may have box office, have a market, and be liked by the audience, but they are just popcorn movies.
Therefore, "Assembly Number" is actually Feng Xiaogang's transformation work.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment before saying: "You have finally made up your mind to make this movie, and the people above didn't say anything?"
When Feng Xiaogang heard this, he was very helpless and said: "Actually, I have approached the leader about this matter not once, but for many years, and finally let him go.
But I don’t have confidence in the box office. If I had you, you might be able to boost the box office with your fame.” Ye Ming’s star-level fame will certainly be of great help to the movie.
Although Feng Xiaogang's assembly numbers are more about dreams and feelings, it doesn't mean that Feng Xiaogang doesn't care about the market. Regarding such a problem, Ye Ming is a better choice.
Hearing this, Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This matter is actually not as simple as you think. You want me to play the leading role, do you think the Wang brothers will be happy?
This is a large-scale production by Huayi Brothers. For such a large-scale production, the first thing that comes to mind is of course the artists from our own company.
If you really want to ask me to star in the movie, it will be an almost impossible task. It would be no problem to ask me to make a guest appearance."
If it's a starring role, it means that the company will strongly support it, especially in a big production like "Assembly", if it is the male lead, it means that the company will really support it.
Would Huayi Brothers give such a position to an outside actor? It is definitely impossible. Such a good opportunity should naturally be reserved for the artists of its own company.
Therefore, Feng Xiao just said: "These two brothers are indeed very calculating. Not to mention this, the matter has been settled anyway, and it is impossible to change it.
Next time, if there is a chance next time, I will ask you to star in my movie.
This time, I want to ask you for two things. One is to ask you to make a guest appearance. If you can't star in this, I want to make a guest appearance as the Wang brothers dare to say anything. Don't blame me for being rude."
It's impossible to star in a starring role, and Feng Xiaogang actually understands this, but if it's about making a cameo or something, then in terms of such a problem, it's not a big problem.
After all, at this point, it is well known that Ye Ming can drive box office.
And in fact, the Wang brothers also know that inviting Ye Ming to guest star is equivalent to Ye Ming being a green leaf for Huayi Brothers' artists. It is difficult to say whether Ye Ming can be invited at this time.
Therefore, when it comes to such a problem, how to invite Ye Ming to come over depends on Feng Xiaogang's ability.
Anyway, the Wang brothers knew that they were not of such great dignity.
If the two brothers went to invite Ye Ming, 99% of the time they would fail. On the other hand, Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming cooperated very early.
Basically, when Party A and Party B were working together ten years ago, the two parties had cooperated, and the relationship was considered to be very good.
Ye Ming also knew that since Feng Xiaogang said he would come to the door, it would be inappropriate if he did not give face to him personally.
This is how it is with the entertainment industry. If you give me face, I will give you face. That's how relationships come about.
If I support you but you fail to support me, then there will be no need to be friends anymore.
Just like Zhou Xingxing, it can be said that Zhou Xingxing is the superstar who is least able to deal with interpersonal relationships.
I haven’t talked about Zhou Xingxing’s movies, there are many classic memories, but when it comes to Zhou Xingxing’s life, it’s really disappointing.
More than 90% of the people in the entertainment industry who have worked with Zhou Xingxing will fall out with each other, and those who haven't are basically artists from his company.
Anyway, those superstars who have worked with Zhou Xingxing, such as Hong Jinbao, who is the big brother, have also offended. Li Xiuxian can be said to be Zhou Xingxing's mentor, and he has also offended Wong Jing, Uncle Da, etc.
, anyway, not many of these big stars would say good things about Zhou Xingxing.
In other words, Johnnie To was a bit more polite, saying that Zhou Xingxing was a good actor, but his temper should be changed.
Zhou Xingxing is very talented, but he is very egoistic and self-centered. There is no problem if he is like this when filming, but he is still like this outside of filming. So what if he doesn't offend others?
Why couldn't stars from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places join in Zhou Xingxing's movie? It was because everyone knew Zhou Xingxing's temper and didn't want to come and make guest appearances.
Not to mention that superstars don’t know how to behave. For example, in Brother Cheng Long’s later movies, big stars were often invited to help out.
In fact, speaking of the feud between Feng Xiaogang and Zhou Xingxing, it means that Zhou Xingxing invited Feng Xiaogang to attend the premiere of his movie, and Feng Xiaogang came to help stand up.
But later Feng Xiaogang invited Zhou Xingxing to come over to attend the premiere. Zhou Xingxing said that he didn't have time, so there was no need to play.
In fact, most people in the entertainment industry have a few die-hard friends. For such die-hard friends, it is only a matter of words to invite them to come and make guest appearances.
Except for Zhou Xingxing who can carry the whole movie by himself, basically all other big stars have old friends.
Ye Ming heard a lot of resentment in Feng Xiaogang's words, and then said very relaxedly: "The Huayi brothers have invested so much, so naturally they want to praise their own people. There is no problem with guest appearances. When will we say it?"
Just say it once.
But it’s best to decide within the next month, because in one month, I will be filming a TV series, and my schedule will be quite busy by then.”
When Feng Xiaogang saw that Oring had agreed, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, I'll arrange your scenes and I'll definitely have them done for you within two weeks. In fact, the assembly number also filmed a lot of scenes. I'm very busy."
Incredible.
It can be said that your role is basically the closing stage. The key is the post-production period, and the post-production stage of this war movie is still very important."
Don't think that only the later stages of science fiction and martial arts are more important. In fact, if the post stages of war films are not done well enough, it will be very troublesome for something like this.
After all, it means that for a problem like this, some explosions, fights, and even air battles, etc., all require post-production. And the post-production of war films is also a top priority.
Speaking of this, Feng Xiaogang said again: "By the way, I received an invitation from Zhou Xingxing two days ago. He said that he was going to shoot a movie called Yangtze River No. 7 or something like that. He was planning to shoot it. He said he was waiting for me to be busy with the movie.
That's it, I'll go back and make a cameo in one of his movies. I was busy gathering numbers, so I didn't give him a specific reply.
I’ve been too busy recently, and the filming of the assembly number has been completed, and post-production special effects and dubbing also require a lot of time, so cooperation is not easy.”
Feng Xiaogang's relationship with Zhou Xingxing was quite good at this time. The two had not only collaborated in advertisements, but also in movies.
At this moment, Ye Ming pondered for a while before saying: "I think you'd better think about this matter. Zhou Xingxing is a person who should not be deeply friends with."
These words are very straightforward. Normally, people in the entertainment industry, even friends, would not say such things so straightforwardly, but Ye Ming was not polite at all this time.
I said this directly.
Therefore, Feng Xiaogang had to pay attention to such a thing.
At this moment, Feng Xiaogang hesitated for a moment before saying: "Yi Zi, what do you mean by this? Is there any conflict between you and Zhou Xingxing?
It seems like your movie styles are different, so there shouldn't be any competition."
Ye Ming waved his hands with a smile and said very relaxedly: "Director Feng, you are too polite. Zhou Xingxing and I have no grudges, but I just don't like this person's way of dealing with others.
If I choose a movie, I might choose Zhou Xingxing's movie when I go to the cinema. But if I choose a friend, I won't choose Zhou Xingxing. This person is too egotistical.
His movies are, to say the least, at the level of a great master. But his way of dealing with people is also the style of a great master.
Brother Hong Jinbao has worked with him, and he said that he cannot treat himself as a human being and treat others as dogs. You said that stars like Brother Hong Jinbao and Zhou Xingxing are not looked down upon, but what about other Zhou Xingxing?
What do you think?"
Feng Xiaogang actually didn't cooperate a lot with Zhou Xingxing, so he didn't actually know this person very well.
After thinking about it, Feng Xiao just said: "I think, although Zhou Xingxing is a little proud, he doesn't have any other problems. Of course, he may be a little stubborn."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "That's because you haven't cooperated too much, and he also needs you to open up the mainland film market, so he will be more restrained.
Again, there is no doubt that Zhou Xingxing's movies are worthy of his status in the world, but as an actor, this person cannot be said, but as a friend, you absolutely cannot find someone like this. And it is best not to have a deep friendship with him.
If you look at his works, he is the kind of person who has no problem helping him, but if you want to ask him for help with something, he will definitely refuse without hesitation.
These are no longer secrets in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, and some colleagues in the mainland don’t know much about them.
In a word, Zhou Xingxing is so proud that it is unbearable."
Ye Ming has repeatedly emphasized that Zhou Xingxing's works are classic, but as a person, he is definitely the kind of person who should not be closely friends with. At this time, Feng Xiaogang was also a little hesitant.
He didn't quite understand who Zhou Xingxing was. Their cooperation was actually relatively short, so he couldn't be considered to understand each other.
But Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming have been friends for many years, and Feng Xiaogang knows that Ye Ming is not the kind of person who casually slanders others.
In fact, according to Ye Ming's status in the world, there is no reason to slander Zhou Xingxing.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang hesitated and said, "You mean, I don't need to pay attention to Zhou Xingxing's invitation?"
Ye Ming didn't say anything with absolute certainty, but said: "If you don't believe it, you can directly ask Zhou Xingxing to come over and help you publicize the assembly number. I can guarantee that he will never come.
This is a self-centered person. There is actually a thin line between genius and madness.
For example, Einstein may be awesome or not, but in fact, after watching his documentaries, he was basically a scumbag.
There is also Picasso, who is selfish, irritable, and petty, which are also typical characteristics of villains. It is just that because their artistic achievements are so beneficial, everyone has noticed their aura, and no one will have a deep understanding of what they are like on the inside.
Zhou Xingxing is this kind of person. His artistic achievements are astonishingly high. For others, one or two classic movies would be considered good, but Zhou Xingxing has more than ten movies. Note that they are classics and not bad movies.
Therefore, this person is destined to have no good friends in life, and his interpersonal relationships are handled very poorly. If you expect that if you help him, he will help you in the future, you are totally wrong.
Andy is pretty much the same, and brother Cheng Long is also a loyal person. Anyway, among the superstars in Hong Kong, except Zhou Xingxing, basically all of them handle interpersonal relationships well."
This is not to slander Zhou Xingxing. No matter how high his film achievements are, how poorly he handles his interpersonal relationships. People who have worked with him probably know this very well.
If one or two people say something bad about you, it may be a rumor, but most people in the entertainment industry and most of the people you have worked with say that you are not good, so you need to reflect on it.
Just like what Chris Du said, his personality should change.
