Wang Fulin immediately said: "It's not that, it's not that, that's a TV series they made.
Ours is a new version, invested by others. It is a brand new version of the TV series Dream of Red Mansions shot from scratch."
I heard that it was going to be re-shot. At this time, Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, and then said decisively: "This matter is actually not as simple as you think. Do you think it would be interesting to re-shoot it?"
This new version of Red Mansions has been made with great fanfare, but it hasn't been filmed yet, so it's been a disaster.
If the chief director can be replaced, what else can't be replaced? Besides, if we make a new one, wouldn't it be a collision?
It's not interesting, it really means nothing. You don't need to say this. Director Wang, I'm not trying to refute your face. This really doesn't work.
If it's a movie, I might be able to be a producer, and that's no problem. But TV dramas don't do that."
In fact, Dream of Red Mansions is the most difficult movie to make among the Four Great Classics. You know, it is the most coherent of the Four Great Classics.
For other movies like Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West, there is no problem in making single-chapter stories into movies.
For example, the story of Monkey King, the Battle of Red Cliff, the story of Wu Song and Pan Jinlian in Water Margin, etc.
All of them are good movie themes. Moreover, some of the movies do quite well at the box office.
But if we talk about Dream of Red Mansions, if a novel like this is made into a movie alone, it seems that there are no eye-catching works, whether it is in Yingxian County or at the box office.
You must know that even the Dream of Red Mansions starring Brigitte Lin did not do very well at the box office back then.
Therefore, in fact, those who dare to play Red Mansions when filming movies are basically more likely to commit suicide.
Because the continuity of Red Mansion is too strong, it would be a bit of a lie to pull it out alone.
Therefore, among the four famous novels, Dream of Red Mansions is not so easy to be made into a movie story.
The Mainland has also filmed a movie about Dream of Red Mansions, but that was a product of the economic system. Anyway, you filmed the movie according to the plan set by the leadership, so you don’t have to worry about the box office performance.
Later, with the advent of the market economy, a few people would look for stories about Dream of Red Mansions to make movies, unless they had a mine at home.
Before Wang Fulin could say anything, Ye Ming immediately continued: "Besides, Director Wang, I still have a lot of things to do here.
Do you want me to watch Ode to Joy? And I want to launch a time-travel TV series so that the artists in my company can't be idle.
Also, in some time, the third installment of Fast and Furious will start filming in Japan.
By then I will definitely have no time to be in the country. Therefore, there is nothing I can do about this kind of thing.
It’s no problem to hire a production consultant or something, but there’s nothing else I can do.”
Hiring a producer consultant is actually just a name without any effort. It can be regarded as a means of promoting the movie.
For example, later Xu Ke liked to be a producer, but Mao Yong did not use his name. Therefore, there was no problem in being a producer consultant or something like that, without having to come to the crew.
Therefore, Ye Ming had such a statement.
But speaking of it, Ye Ming really didn't have much time.
Wang Fulin hesitated and said, "You really don't want to come over and have fun? I've been told that there are a few actresses from your company who are willing to come over, so you can just bring them over."
I guarantee there will be no problem, you can choose any role you want."
A Dream of Red Mansions is a drama about women, and even Jia Baoyu has appeared in negative roles.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "There is really no way to do this. The actors in our company will probably be too busy with our company's dramas by then, let alone go to other drama crews to join the drama."
After hearing what Ye Ming said, Wang Fulin had no other choice, but in fact, he didn't have much hope when he came here. It was just because he was entrusted with loyalty, so he had to make a trip.
Whether Ye Ming agreed or not actually had little impact on him. Therefore, at this time, Wang Fulin said with a smile: "Forget it, since you have other things to do, let's forget about it.
Your company has just made two big moves, which have had a huge impact on the entertainment industry. What do you want to do now?
Tell me what you want to do?"
Ye Ming's big move, the time-travel TV series, actually surprised Wang Fulin. In fact, Ye Ming can always bring surprises to people in the entertainment industry, which is very exciting.
Ye Ming had no intention of hiding it. He thought for a moment and said, "It's a time-travel drama from the Song Dynasty. It's called [Shoot the Railing All Over]."
After all, he is a cultural person, and he is still an old-school cultural person.
Hearing this, Wang Fulin immediately said: "Isn't this a work by the great poet Xin Qiji of the Song Dynasty? This is a very interesting work. A work like this is still very worth looking forward to. However, this is just me
From a human perspective, TV dramas like yours don’t have much successful experience.
If the market doesn't like it, it will have a certain impact on you. Not to mention losing money, you don't care about the money, but your invincible golden status is gone."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "What about the Invincible Golden Body? Can't my TV series be successful? There's no reason for that.
Moreover, if a heroic TV series like Xin Qiji, who is both civilized and military, is filmed, then you cannot say that there is no market for it, right?
Moreover, online time travel novels are so popular, there is definitely something going on with this matter.
The key is to see how you do this kind of TV series.
If the hype is good, it will not only make a lot of money, but it will also surprise the audience no matter what.
I believe that even if the ratings of this TV series are not very high, it will definitely not be a hit."
Ye Ming didn't dare to say how high the ratings were, but regarding a question like this, Ye Ming felt that he should make a TV series like this.
No matter what, you cannot leave your people below idle. If they are idle, problems will easily arise.
Ye Ming didn't want to go abroad to shoot a movie. Someone in his company had a problem here.
Let everyone get busy first and not have any intention to make trouble. This is the right way. As for whether to make money or not, Ye Ming definitely wants to make money, and there are other ways to make money.
But this method is not enough for outsiders.
If it was mentioned in advance, then this matter would be a bit unclear.
Therefore, even if Wang Fulin, who was also a teacher and friend, came, Ye Ming did not tell the truth.
Ye Ming felt that there were some things that only one person could know.
This may be because he doesn't want to trouble Wang Fulin.
However, just because he didn't want to trouble Wang Fulin didn't mean that Wang Fulin didn't want to trouble him.
On this matter, he and Wang Fulin may have exactly opposite ideas.
This time, when Wang Fulin came, it was obviously impossible to say that it was as simple as asking Ye Ming to participate in the filming of Dream of Red Mansions.
Those who invested in Dream of Red Mansions are not fools. They know that if Ye Ming is involved in this matter, the publicity, influence, etc. will be greatly guaranteed.
This is also a bargaining chip for them to fight against the new version of Dream of Red Mansions. But if Ye Ming does not participate, it is difficult to say whether the new version of Dream of Red Mansions can be filmed this time.
Wang Fulin actually came to Ye Ming for another purpose.
Finally, Wang Fulin seemed to have thought of something and said: "If. I mean if, you want to go there again?
Are you willing to go? There will be a lot of rewards waiting for you, very good rewards." But at this time, Ye Ming was not fooled at all.
He shook his head decisively and said: "I won't go, I really won't go. It's a waste of time and life. I don't want to get involved in this matter.
There are some problems that I cannot solve. I am not a god or a savior.
In fact, there are some things that I cannot solve alone. You have to involve me to do these things. It’s not like the world will be destroyed.”
Wang Fulin shrugged his shoulders and said: "Don't say that. In fact, there are some things that you see may not be true, and there are some things that you haven't seen.
It doesn’t necessarily mean it’s not true. Who can say for sure whether it’s true or not? On this point, I think you should think about it seriously.”
Ye Ming curiously looked at Wang Fulin who was about to leave, frowned and said: "Director Wang, don't cheat on me. I have always respected you very much. If you cheat on me, it would be inappropriate.
You always say this is not true."
Wang Fulin smiled slightly, not knowing what he meant, but he waved his hand and turned away and said: "Actually, I didn't trick you, maybe someone tricked me.
Some things can't be done if you want to do them, and you can't just do them if you don't want to do them. There are always some things that need someone to do them, right?
Therefore, speaking carefully, there are some things that you cannot avoid. This is fate, and this is how fate is arranged."
After saying these words, Director Wang Fulin turned around and left. After saying this halfway, Ye Ming naturally would not give up like this.
If something happens, you can just say it directly. Why do you have to play riddles?
Therefore, when faced with such a question, Ye Ming rushed out unceremoniously and said: "Director Wang, aren't you trying to harm me? What's the point of saying half of some things?
If you have anything to say, I will be prepared to say it directly."
Wang Fulin thought for a while and then said: "In this case, you are considered one of the insiders anyway, so telling you something is not a big deal.
For example, some movies, The Wall, The Legend of White Snake, Once Upon a Time, Thunderbolt Beibei, etc.
Even some foreign movies like X-Men, Spider-Man, The Mummy Returns, 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, and Harry Potter, which made you a lot of money. Do you think these movies were all shot unintentionally?
Sneaking into the night with the wind, moisturizing things silently. These movies are not as simple as you think. Even the early Star Wars, there was a certain foreshadowing. You think Star Wars was shot for no reason.
ah?
It’s just an explanation, you just have to think about some things by yourself. Once you think about it, you will be the king of movies.”
King of Movies, a title like this is quite a high praise.
Even directors like Lucas and Spielberg, who play leading roles in world cinema, would not dare to use this title to name themselves.
Jack's "I am the king of the world" line on Titanic has been criticized for more than 20 years without any sign of weakening, and has become one of the most deceptive lines in the history of movies.
I have to say that such a thing as becoming a king is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Things are so noisy in the film industry.
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said nonchalantly: "The film industry is more complicated than I thought. At this time, I actually don't want to be in the movies anymore, at least not for the time being.
But Fast and Furious has to be filmed. Filming is quite tiring, and there is nothing as simple as filming a TV series. Even if the filming is not good, some shots will be fooled casually.
Because you are filming a TV series, it is impossible to strive for excellence in a situation like this.
Regarding a problem like this, it can be said that TV dramas are relatively simple to shoot.
But movies are different, the requirements are higher. In fact, as far as I am concerned, I like filming TV series more.
However, movies are still the theme of the entertainment industry, and they are not a bit more sophisticated than TV series.
Therefore, under such a situation, I shoot movies just to gain fame and make money, and shooting TV series is actually a kind of enjoyment."
This is Ye Ming's different attitude towards TV dramas and movies. Filming movies is more about making money, but when filming TV dramas, it's more about having fun.
Therefore, it can actually be seen from Ye Ming's performance that filming a TV series is really a relatively enjoyable thing.
It is also a relatively easy thing. I can’t say that the threshold for TV dramas is the lowest, but it is relatively low.
Some big names have honed their acting skills in TV series, and they can also gain fame by appearing in movies.
In fact, if you look closely at Ye Ming's energy, you can see that Ye Ming basically followed this path.
He is an actor who started from TV series and can truly stand at the pinnacle of movies.
Now, no matter what TV series Ye Ming is preparing for, his main idea is to have fun and enjoy the process of filming a TV series.
Otherwise, with Ye Ming's status, who would be able to see Ye Ming filming a TV series?
Even the International Chapter has no intention of filming a TV series. Not to mention Ye Ming, who is more internationally famous than the International Chapter.
He actually planned to film the TV series just for fun, and of course it was also to provide work for the actors in his company.
