Ye Ming said with great confidence: "Cinema lines, next year, the country will allow foreign investment in theater lines. This is an opportunity. Although in the short term, the investment in theater lines will be huge, but in the long term, the theater chain will
It is the real kingly way. In this era when marketing is king, if you control the theater chain, you will control the lifeline of the movie."
This is a consensus in the entertainment industry. No matter who makes the movie, even if it is a movie shot by Cameron Spielberg, it must be shown in movie theaters. The theater chain generates box office.
Box office is the foundation of a movie, everything else is nonsense.
Chen Yang had never been involved in such a thing. He said with some disdain: "Theatrical chain is king, you said it, but why don't Huayi Brothers, Poly Huayi, Zhongbo and other film and television companies have one?"
To set up your own theater chain, do you just mean that your brilliant film and television company will set up its own theater chain?" Although I am not very familiar with the entertainment industry, most film and television companies do not have their own theater chain. This is actually
Chen Yang is very clear.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "It's not that they don't have it, but they don't dare. Investment in theaters is not something that a film and television company can do. It must be supported by a large consortium.
Therefore, it is not easy for me to do it myself. If it were easy, I would not ask you to cooperate."
Ye Ming said so many words without politeness, but in fact, he only meant one thing on this issue, that is, he didn't have money, and he didn't have much money to do it by himself.
Chen Yang hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering uncertainly. But after all, he was undecided, and finally sighed and said: "This is not in our Chen family's plan. Investing in a theater chain involves a lot of things.
More, it’s not that easy to do. I can’t promise you now. Besides, it’s not so easy for theater chains to do it sometimes. It’s a huge waste of money.”
Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: If that's the case, then just pretend that I didn't say anything. "However, Chen Yang's arrival has affected Ye Ming's life. In fact, he didn't plan to be a theater business.
The theater chain is indeed a very money-burning industry. The initial investment is very large, and the operating expenses are also quite high. However, Ye Ming has not given up on this idea. After all, the theater chain is king. This
This is a later development trend. More than half of a movie's box office goes to theater chains. If a film and television company does not have a theater chain, it will be exploited in the future.
After talking about this matter to Sister Fang Fang, Sister Fang Fang said disdainfully: "You'd better save money, theater chain, do you have so much money? Only the company has how much money. And you can't always do it all."
Let's use it as a theater chain." In the end, Ye Ming put his idea on hold for the time being. However, he was also waiting for a suitable opportunity to enter a business like a theater chain.
A week later, Zhang Yimou called and said in a tired voice: "Ye Ming, the crew of [My Father and Mother] has officially shut down. There will be a shutdown ceremony tonight, and your kid is coming over." Ye Ming looked at it.
After a while, he smiled bitterly and said: "Director Zhang. It's already half past five in the afternoon. You can't fool me like this. Even if I drive a helicopter over, I guess your shutdown ceremony will be over by the time I break it."
.”
Only then did Zhang Yimou burst into laughter and said: "I knew you would say that. Don't worry, we are holding a shutdown ceremony in the capital. At 7:30 in the evening, the banquet hall on the third floor of Red Star Seafood City, you have to come then.
.”
Since we are in the capital, Ye Ming naturally has no reason not to go when things like that are happening. This is the rule in the circle. If there is no last resort, it is usually a shutdown ceremony like this, which is with the university.
The break-up meal was the same, and everyone had to go there. After asking for leave from Director Li Ping, Ye Ming returned to the dressing room to remove his makeup, but he was a little pressed for time.
At this time, Fan Binbin ran in wearing a traditional costume and a bright red down jacket and said: "Brother Ming, how are you? There is a show tonight, and the fifth brother is inviting me to have supper. Do you want to come with me?"
It's been a long time since we all went together to cause trouble. Shall we go together?" Ye Ming had already started to take off his makeup. Fan Binbin looked at it and said, "What, you are taking off your makeup now, are you going out later?"
The crew still had scenes to shoot in the evening. Normally, makeup would not be removed at this time, but Ye Ming was removing makeup in the dressing room, which meant that he was about to go out. While removing makeup, Ye Ming said: "I just received a call from Director Zhang
The phone said that [my father and mother] have been turned off. The shutdown ceremony will be held in Beijing. I am the leading actor no matter what. If I don’t go, it will offend others. I just agreed with Director Li that my
The filming of the scene has been postponed to tomorrow night.
You guys go play today. You may come back at what time." Hearing this, countless little stars appeared in Fan Binbin's eyes: "Director Zhang, Zhang Yimou, Director Zhang, it's him.
If I call you to invite you, when will I be afraid of Director Zhang's scenes?"
In China, it is indeed an honor to be able to film a movie about a national teacher. Who doesn't know that a movie about a national teacher is most likely to win awards internationally. Even now Fan Binbin is considered a first-line famous actor, but in China
Master Zhang Yimou was still so unattainable to her.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "There will be a chance. To be honest, Zhang Ziyi's acting skills may not necessarily be better than yours. The key is the opportunity. If the opportunity comes, maybe you can become it." Fan Binbin can do this.
It was clear that these were words of comfort to her. It was cold, the moon was full in the west building, and the moonlight poured out like water from the sky, passing through the layers of night and falling on this colorful city.
There is still no traffic jam in the capital, so by the time Ye Ming arrives, it will only be seven o'clock.
If it is an ordinary crew and the big names can come on time, this is already a considerable favor to the director. If you are late for less than twenty minutes, is it called late? If you are not late for half an hour, you cannot be called a big shot at all. But.
, no one in Zhang Yimou’s crew would be late, and Ye Ming naturally said that he would never make such a mistake.
Although Ye Ming arrived half an hour early, he was still a little late. At this time, other members of the crew had already arrived early. Naturally, the sooner Zhang Yimou's crew arrived, the better.
Zhang Ziyi felt very unhappy when she saw that Ye Ming had come so late. If he was the last one to come at this time, then Wangwang would be the most important member of the crew. Although he was not late, he came
The farther back you are, the more qualified the actor is. Zhang Ziyi stood next to Zhang Weiping in a sky blue evening dress and whispered: Mr. Zhang, this Ye Ming is a little too arrogant. It's too disrespectful to ask everyone to wait for him together.
I put you and Director Zhang in my eyes."
This is what it means to give Ye Ming some shoes. However, Zhang Weiping didn't seem to be angry at all, and said with a helpless look in his eyes: "Ye Ming, this kid is not simple, you know? Wang Zhongjun and I were there the day before yesterday.
Jiang Wen was having dinner together, and one of the five people sitting with him was him. Jiang Wen's new movie, "The Devils Are Coming", is one of the five major investors of Huihuang Film and Television, and this guy is very ambitious and has the intention to enter the theater chain.
.”
In fact, Zhang Weiping didn't say a word. Among the four bosses present at the time, who didn't have the intention to enter the theater chain? The theater chain is king. The four of them are very clear about this. It's just that they don't have money.
Qian, I guess all four of them would have acted like this.
Zhang Ziyi's face immediately became dull after hearing this, theater chain? While he was still busy making movies, Ye Ming had already started working on the theater chain. Although it was just an idea, it was not something that ordinary people could imagine.
Therefore, Zhang Ziyi's expression gradually became serious at this moment. Zhang Yimou saw Ye Ming coming and walked over and said: "Ye Ming, you came just in time. In fact, I also have something to ask you. This movie of mine lacks one person."
It’s a good theme song. It’s not very appropriate for Sanbao to do it. How about you come up with one? If it’s like [Invisible Wings], that would be the best.”
Sure enough, this shutdown ceremony was not so easy to participate in. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Director Zhang, you really said what you said. In fact, when filming this movie, I actually wrote a song.
If Director Zhang doesn't say it, then I really can't bring it up?" Zhang Yimou was actually very surprised. Ye Ming is very good at writing songs. This can be seen from "Invisible Wings"
came out, but he never expected that Ye Ming actually said that he had written the song in this silence. At that moment, Zhang Yimou laughed and said: "Really? So, we really
There is a connection between our hearts. Please tell me what kind of song it is. If it’s not appropriate enough, then I won’t agree to it.”
In fact, Zhang Yimou did not expect Ye Ming to agree immediately. If the film could be written before the end of post-production, it would be a pretty good thing. But he did not expect that he actually had such a song.
For a singer who can win the title of king, the songs written by him are naturally not as simple as perfunctory. If Ye Ming dares to say that in front of him, it means that he is very confident in his song.
Yes, a good song will definitely complement a movie. Zhang Yimou is very clear about this.
