Brother Xiaohei is a very loyal person, and the entire entertainment industry knows this this year. Therefore, when Ye Ming calls him and asks him to come over, he will naturally go all out. There is no reason not to agree.
And at this time, Ye Ming not only found Brother Xiaohei, but also called David, the captain of the French Dream Team, which is also one of the top teams in the world.
The Fast and the Furious focuses on the stunt shots of cars. This must be done by a top team. For example, Universal signed some not-so-well-known stunt teams out of internal strife. This is destroying its own brand.
.
Ye Ming would not do this kind of thing. David also agreed to this matter after raising some prices. Westerners generally pay attention to real materials when doing things, and the benefits will be given.
Anyway, in layman's terms, it means that after you increase the price for me, I will definitely complete the task with quality and quantity. This is inevitable.
This is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood, because Dream Team was also the reason why the first Fast and Furious movie was a box office hit. At this time, it is reasonable for them to ask for some increase in salary.
After all, the first part of The Fast and the Furious was also a very good movie and a blockbuster that was a big hit. It was almost the result of one person attaining enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.
So until now, David of Dream Team asked his team to increase his salary. Ye Ming basically didn't think about it and just nodded and agreed, because this is a more practical request and not a big talk.
.
Moreover, David also admired Ye Ming's driving skills very much, and he had a feeling that heroes cherish heroes.
In terms of lighting, costumes, stunts, etc., the stunts are actually a bit worse.
The lighting and costume calculations are pretty good. In this regard, Universal has put in the lighting, costumes, make-up, and other professional staff that have the value of a big company, and they have all been matched.
But it was like this, the crew also had a lot of connections, and in the end they were directly kicked out by Ye Ming. If you don't leave, you won't be paid anyway. You can stay as long as you like.
In terms of other matters, there is not too much interference in the formation of the crew. After all, the current director of this crew is Cohen.
However, just such a move and drastic reforms in the crew also made some people in the crew feel panic, fearing that they might accidentally offend Ye Ming and be fired.
However, after Ye Ming vigorously rectified the situation, he did not take any further action. Instead, he announced that he would not start filming tonight and would wait until everyone arrived tomorrow.
Taking advantage of this space, Ye Ming announced that he would go up and take a rest first, because after the crew arrived, intense filming would begin, and this filming would be very intense.
Ye Ming just said that he would give everyone a vaccination and prepare everyone. After arranging these things, Ye Ming went directly to find director Cohen.
When faced with Ye Ming cleaning up the crew's mess, Cohen did not express his opinion because he knew very well that although he was the director of the crew, it was Ye Ming who had the real control power.
But Ye Ming actually didn't look so domineering when facing Cohen, which really made Cohen feel quite satisfied.
Ye Ming didn't like to interfere with the crew during the first film, as long as no one delayed the filming.
This is still the case.
Therefore, when he saw Ye Ming at this time, his face may have relaxed a little, and there was no special nervousness, envy, jealousy or hatred.
Overall, it was very pleasant to work with Director Cohen and Ye Ming.
Therefore, he is not worried about the impact Ye Ming's strength will have on him. On this basis, he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Apart from Ye Ming, Cohen certainly believes that his power will extend to other members of the crew.
In every human being.
And in this crew, some things, such as taking kickbacks, are impossible to happen. Of course, every crew will have public relations expenses, and this crew also has them.
But he said that if any of the crew members dared to embezzle or take kickbacks, Ye Ming would never be polite. In fact, some staff members felt that they were doing it more covertly by taking kickbacks.
However, there has never been a time when Ye Ming was able to hide it. It seems that Ye Ming has a huge team supporting him, giving him all kinds of news, and even gossips about the entertainment industry. Ye Ming can sometimes analyze them.
Some tricks on the crew came out, which made people feel terrible.
No one on Ye Ming's crew can embezzle public funds, that's for sure.
In fact, in Hollywood, there are some benefits to eating.
Don't think that Hollywood is that kind of sacred place. There is no corruption among the crew or anything like that. This is impossible. Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, that's all.
Therefore, this time Cohen made Ye Ming feel the sincerity from Fast and Furious.
At this time, he may have said with some seriousness: "Mr. Ye, this time you killed the chicken to scare the monkeys. You shouldn't kill the monkeys to show respect to the monkeys."
You have driven away more than 1/3 of the crew. I'm afraid Universal will have objections to this matter, so you have to be prepared."
Universal is not a small film and television company that was thought up by a few actors and a few investors on the spur of the moment, or a company run by a grassroots team, but the real seven major Hollywood film companies.
Although the current situation among the crew was caused by infighting within Universal, would Universal be unhappy if they knew that Ye Ming had directly affected many people on the crew? This is something that Ye Ming needs to seriously consider.
.
Because such a matter, after all, concerns Universal's face, the first thing Ye Ming did when he came from afar was to drive away more than 1/3 of the crew without saying a word.
A little bit, it has to be surprising.
At this time, Ye Ming said very rudely: "Universal still wants to have an opinion, are they embarrassed to have an opinion? At this time, it is considered good that I have not caused any trouble to them.
I was asked to come over to shoot this movie, but at this time, it was actually done for me. Such a mess of people came over. How do you think I should shoot it?
No wonder there are problems in part 2. I think it would be hard to say how they would have done it in step 2 without me. Don’t worry, go over there. If you have any objections, I will convince them.
I came here this time to ask you to do one thing, which is to say, my role here should be filmed as quickly as possible. It is best to complete the filming within one or two weeks."
Because Ye Ming felt that he might have come here to film without thinking clearly about some things. There was still a lot of things waiting for him to be busy in China.
The crew of my company also needs to go by myself.
Because now Ye Ming has a bad feeling, he has to rush back to take a look first.
Therefore, under such a situation, he actually came back to take over. Taking a photo of the crew of Fast and Furious Part 3, Ye Ming felt that time was a bit tight.
Therefore, he felt that it would be quite good if he could shoot quickly when making a movie. If he could finish the movie as quickly as possible.
Therefore, at this time, he proposed to the director that first of all, he should shoot as many of his own scenes as possible, so as not to be in a hurry later.
Cohen was very surprised when he was reminded of this. Filmmaking is a time of slow work and meticulous work. If you want to speed up the progress, this is not consistent with the rules.
Therefore, in such a situation, the director may mention this matter without even thinking about it, but it is a bit troublesome because we have never done this for two or three weeks, so it is impossible to finish filming your scene.
At least I haven't done that before. The guest party member is quite insistent on this point. He has to be responsible for his own crew.
Because the quality of the film is closely related to the director's ability. If Ye Ming is asked to complete his shots in a week or two at this time, what will happen if the film is a bunch of garbage?
What we know is that Ye Ming is arbitrary and arbitrary. Those who don’t know what he does think that he is incompetent as a director.
Therefore, at this time, Director Hate was a little reluctant to agree, because he himself believed that this matter was impossible.
However, Ye Ming also gave an example at this moment and said: "As for this matter, in fact, there is no big problem if we shoot it quickly. Don't think that it will be impossible to complete it in a week or two. It cannot be completed in the movie."
task.
But, you don’t know that some of our domestic film companies, for example, there is a director in Xinjiang, can shoot a movie in a week, which is about an hour and a half, and he can shoot it in a week.
Out.
You need to learn from other people’s speed of making movies, and don’t make the movie so mysterious. This is also stated clearly, and it is indeed a fact.
In Xiangjiang, one of the working directors is called Wang Jing, that big fat guy.
This man looks tall and thick, as if he is short and poor.
However, director Wang Jing is actually very wealthy. After all, he is a commercial film director. Although he has also made bad films, Wang Jing has shot many films, which are still very good.
It’s just that Wang Jing basically makes all kinds of movies. As long as you pay him, there is basically no movie that he doesn’t make. This will give the director a bad reputation.
However, you don't deny that director Wang Jing is a very capable director, and his colleagues are quite convinced on this point.
Of course, the colleagues mentioned here are domestic colleagues. Basically, foreign colleagues have never heard of Director Wang Jing’s name.
Maybe the director is someone who has never heard of this name. Therefore, Director Cohen was very surprised and said: "If you want to shoot a movie in a week, it doesn't look right no matter how you look at it."
possible.
Okay, if what you said is true, then what kind of movie is a movie shot in a week?
It's more than one and a half hours and 90 minutes. At this time, the filming has been completed in a week. Are you shooting a movie or just a simple video?
Taking a step back, if what you say is true, what will the movie look like if it is shot in a week? It will definitely be a big bad movie."
Director Cohen still has his own persistence. He believes that movies are a sacred job. If you want to make a good movie, you basically need to work slowly and carefully, and you need to think about it slowly.
Now Ye Ming told him to shoot one movie a week, which is a standard movie of one and a half hours. This was a huge blow to him.
He didn't think anyone could really do this. If anyone could, it would have been shot this year. What was shot at such a speed was just some material, some bad movies, and he didn't think it was shot at such a time.
What a good movie would be.
But Ye Ming said with great certainty: "It's not necessarily a bad movie. The movie he tinkered with at this time took about a week to make, and the box office was still very good.
Although it is not a high-grossing movie, it cannot be said to be a bad movie. The box office performance is beyond your imagination. Of course, this director has a very famous name in the entertainment industry called Kuaishou.
If he wants to shoot a movie, the shooting time may be very short, and the movie may not be a bad movie. The movie I am talking about is The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon Sword.
This is a very good movie. It is very normal for Wang Jing to shoot a movie quickly.
It can even be said that from shooting to production to release, basically being able to complete it in seven days is his masterpiece, and the movie he shot is not as bad as you think, but the box office of the movie at that time
champion."
Such an incident would shock Director Cohen very much. The movie was shot in 7 days, and with so many things to do in the post-production period, it actually became the box office champion of the movie when it was released.
This is simply unbelievable to the customer, because he can't think of what kind of shooting can achieve this, and with post-production, this is an even more difficult task to complete. Is this a magical thing?
Oriental magic?
However, it seems that Ye Ming doesn't need to fool himself about this matter. It doesn't make any sense, so this matter may just happen, and it should be true.
Director Cohen was a little shocked and said: "There is such a fast director in China, he is a genius."
At this time, Ye Ming explained: "We can't say that he is a simple genius, but it is okay to say that he is a geek.
But from a box office perspective alone, this director has achieved certain results. He is a commercial film director who is willing to make any kind of film.
It really means that in order to make money, he shoots small movies, that is to say, what you in the West call R-rated movies, these are the scope of his shooting. Anyway, at least commercially speaking, he is a successful director.
When we were filming, we just had to do our best to go over it once, and as a director, you should be able to do this. I tried my best to do my best, and you just had to do your best to go over it once."
