After Ye Ming arrived in Tokyo, he had a conversation with some friends in the Japanese entertainment industry, and then held a simple press conference at the aircraft factory.
After all, at a time like this, when he was greeted by friends from the media industry, he naturally had to meet the interview requirements of these friends from the media industry.
As a very influential media, the Asahi Shimbun took the lead and grabbed the number one position.
After seeing the verification, a reporter from the Asahi Shimbun was very excited and said: "Mr. Ye, I would like to ask this time, why did you come to us Japanese people? Is it because you are talking about our Japanese movies?
The production level is close to or even surpasses Hollywood."
Such a question can make Ye Ming feel funny. How big of a heart can you say this?
Probably no one in the world would say this except for the stupid Bangzi people in Bangzi country. The world is yours and the world is ours. But in the final analysis, the world belongs to the people of Bangzi country. Why?
Is it because of your big face? Hmm.
However, although this question was raised rather sharply, it was actually quite difficult for Ye Ming to answer this question suddenly, so he had to think about it.
But at this time, Kitano Takeshi's face had turned gloomy. This rookie reporter from the Asahi Shimbun asked such a question. Isn't his brain flooded?
Is it possible that the production level of Japanese films can surpass that of Hollywood?
The level of the film industry in all countries around the world is not as strong as that of Hollywood. This is an indisputable fact.
Therefore, even if Takeshi Kitano or Akira Kurosawa, the godfather of the Japanese entertainment industry, emerges, he would not dare to say that our Japanese films have surpassed Hollywood.
However, at this time, we cannot laugh out loud and mock the novice reporter of Asahi Shimbun. Although this matter is quite funny, this question will definitely make netizens burst into laughter.
However, as a guest, Ye Ming couldn't say this.
Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming was embarrassed to smile in front of the camera, otherwise it would be a blatant ridicule.
So he finally endured it, and then after thinking about it, he quickly said: "This matter is actually not too unexpected, because these are all according to the script. The script for Fast and Furious Part 3 has actually been written long ago.
alright.
This is what happened in Japan.
In other words, the ending of the script had already been released before I became the director. We just came to Japan to find the filming location according to the ending of the script.
This is why Fast and Furious Part 3 will come to Japan.
If the script is written in France or the UK, or even in China, then the filming location of the movie at this time may also be in France, the UK, or China.
It's so simple, everything is done according to the script.
Script is king.
In Hollywood, although the script is not king, the status of the screenwriter is actually very high. There are many classic movies that have the full participation of editors.
Fast and Furious Part 3 is actually the same. The shooting location of this episode was indeed set in Japan.
Because if that kind of thing is filmed in the United States, the audience will be tired of it. Even if the special effects are very good, if the audience is tired of it, it will be hard to say what the next step will be. So it might be better to change the environment.
chosen."
The screenwriter wrote the story that happened in Japan according to the instructions of the company."
So in such a situation, Ye Ming's answer can be regarded as a relatively pertinent answer.
Reporters naturally have to remember it carefully. This is considered a small accident and a small piece of material.
Find out what is needed to write news today, and then edit them together to create a good article.
At this time, the young reporter from the Asahi Shimbun did not get the answer he wanted.
The reporter immediately said: "Mr. Ye, it seems that now that the Japanese men's volleyball team has appeared in Fast and Furious 3, it proves that the development of Japanese movies is very strong. Although it may not be as good as Hollywood, it is also among the top in the world.
of."
Ye Ming answered without hesitation this time: "There are indeed some things worth learning about Japanese movies, such as some of the shooting techniques of director Akira Kurosawa, which are worthy of learning and reference by many directors even now."
In fact, this young reporter hoped that Ye Ming would praise Japan's film industry more at this time. In fact, they did not notice that they had offended someone, and they were doing it again and again.
This is also a rare thing.
Reporters actually have their own unspoken rules for interviewing. There are certain unspoken rules for how to interview and what tone to use when interviewing people.
Ordinary people would not dare to violate it casually. The Asahi Shimbun is a relatively powerful program, but at this time, the Asahi Shimbun reporter, this newcomer seems to have a different relationship. During the interview,
No scruples.
Therefore, he was directly suppressed by some senior reporters at the scene. The two old reporters glanced at the newbie, and the newbie shut up obediently.
The hierarchy of journalists in Japan is very strict, or in any industry, the hierarchy in Japan is very strict. Even if they debut one day earlier than you, they are still your seniors in the entertainment industry.
I finally got an opportunity to interview Ye Ming. If you didn't interview anything else, you would be too busy doing this kind of thing, wouldn't you?
Anyway, many older reporters at the scene had this kind of contempt in their eyes.
When interviewing a superstar like Ye Ming, he actually used a young reporter. Is this the leader of Asahi Shimbun who is out of his mind?
So in the next process, the questions asked by other on-site reporters at this time were more in line with the atmosphere of the scene.
After all, the reporter had to go back and write a report, and Ye Ming actually wanted to do some promotion for Fast and Furious Part 3 in this aspect at this time, naturally in addition to the hard promotion on Airport Road.
In this matter, everyone can actually take what they need, and besides, there are Takeshi Kitano, Ken Watanabe and other superstars in Japan.
The big stars in the entertainment industry were interviewed so naturally and it was a great time for both host and guest.
The Fast and the Furious Part 3 was filmed in Japan. This is an opportunity for the Japanese entertainment industry. There were many reporters at the scene. It can be said that most of the reporters except the rookie reporter from the Asahi Shimbun, as well as Takeshi Kitano and the entertainment group
People in this circle understand it very well in their hearts.
This is a great opportunity for the Japanese entertainment industry to learn about Hollywood industrial film production.
For example, the reporter from the Asahi Shimbun is relatively young and relatively ignorant.
In the car, Kitano Takeshi apologized and said: "My assistant just asked about the Asahi Shimbun reporter. Because he had some physical problems today and was hospitalized, a reporter was temporarily hired to replace him.
Young people are ignorant, Mr. Ye, don't take this kind of thing to heart."
Ye Ming said with a smile: "Ah, in fact, there are reporters like this in every country. I don't take it to heart. I might have cared about it before.
But now I’ve seen it a lot, and it’s just the same thing.
I have met this kind of reporter in Cannes, Venice and Hollywood. It is normal for young people to want to become famous.
I have also come from that time. It is true that when I was young and working as a supporting role, I met many more powerful reporters than this one. Now I have come through the same.
Therefore, I won't take it to heart. In fact, if I get angry on the spot, that may be the meaning of that sentence.
He may not know how he will write news when he goes back, so I won’t take this matter to heart, just don’t worry, Mr. Kitano.”
Superstars naturally have polarizing values and plots. Otherwise, it would be difficult for a person to become a superstar if he is small-minded.
Even for Hong Kong's comedy king Zhou Xingxing, his work attitude is undisputed. It may be that his emotional intelligence is not very high, but you have to admit his hard work.
Moreover, there is no legend in the entertainment industry that Zhou Xingxing is a carefree person.
Therefore, he can basically say that any star who can become a superstar must have been trained step by step.
Therefore, basically no one is petty and narrow-minded, and it is impossible for a narrow-minded person to become a superstar.
I don’t know if this is a law, but superstars from all over the world may have different EQs and IQs. However, they must all have a vision and a long-term perspective. Those with a big heart will not care.
The kind of people who gain and lose in one city and one place can have a chance to become a superstar.
At this time, Kitano Takeshi said with emotion: "Actually, this is also happening in our Japanese entertainment industry, and everyone's mentality has begun to expand a little bit.
Especially the current mentality of young people is even more inflated.
Many young people in the entertainment industry now rarely concentrate on making programs and creating their own works step by step. They all want to become famous overnight and make money, and make a lot of money.
Even in this situation, even if it is Cannes or Venice, it seems that these international film festivals are not in their eyes.
Such a situation makes me very worried about what is going on with them and what do they want? Even international film festivals like Cannes and Venice don't care if they want to go to heaven, right?
If this kind of thing continues to develop in our Japanese entertainment industry, it will have a huge impact on our Japanese entertainment industry.
If this continues, in the future, our entertainment industry will be full of ambitious people, and it will be impossible to support our Japanese entertainment industry.
At that time, we believe that agriculture will inevitably bring about the decline of a country. If it cannot go uphill, it will inevitably go downhill gradually. This is certain.
Although we have a consortium that acquired Columbia Pictures, some young people in this generation are ambitious and have dreams of breaking out of Asia and going global, dominating the world, and so on.
Of course, there is no problem for a person to have a dream, but one must act within one's ability. If one cannot act within one's ability, then the dream is not called a dream but called paranoia.
When we bought Columbia Pictures, it was because we had the right time to do it. It does not mean that our film industry in the Japanese entertainment industry has surpassed that of the United States.
Few people in the entertainment industry are clearly aware of this. Many people and even executives of many film and television companies believe that having money in the entertainment industry can solve everything.
But she can't say that in the entertainment industry. Money really can't do everything. If anyone can do everything, then Bill Gates is the boss in the entertainment industry in the world.
But in fact this is not the case.
The development of the supernatural world is not as simple as imagined, and it cannot be achieved only by having money, but now it happens that this is the vision that our Japanese entertainment industry lacks the most, and everyone has been blinded.
Very few people can calm down and work on their own works anymore. The atmosphere of impetuousness is getting stronger and stronger, which is what worries me more and more.
Otherwise, it would be like a Hollywood movie coming to Japan to be filmed, and a reporter would ask such questions, being so short-sighted and so ambitious.
However, that also represents the view of a considerable number of people in the supernatural world, and even some fans and viewers in the entertainment industry also have this view.
There will be a market only if there is a need. Only if there are audiences who like to watch this kind of question, will reporters ask this kind of question. This is a question worthy of deep thought by many people in our entertainment industry."
Kitano Takeshi is indeed a famous director, and he has a very clear view of the current situation in the Japanese entertainment industry.
Of course, they are called the supernatural department and we call them the entertainment industry, which means the same thing anyway.
As for some impetuous current situations in the entertainment industry, seniors in the entertainment industry like Takeshi Kitano see it with their eyes and are anxious in their hearts.
Although Kitano Takeshi is a well-known senior in the Japanese entertainment industry, he even has considerable influence internationally.
But he said that some problems cannot be solved just by saying they are solved.
These things all involve some property and some current situations in the entertainment industry, which involve the interests of many people. Some people just like to dream and don't want to wake up. There is nothing they can do about it.
If you want to break this dream, it's hard to say how many people will be touched by then.
If the interests of these people are touched, the final result may not be something Kitano Takeshi can bear.
Even talking about this matter, it cannot be said publicly, because after all, Kitano also wants to be in the Japanese entertainment industry, so there are not many people he can talk to.
And Ye Mingna happens to be such a person. Ye Ming's level is enough and he is famous enough. If you tell Ye Ming at this time, it will not affect some of the domestic environment, because Kitano Takeshi himself knows very well that Ye Mingna is not that kind of person.
