Chapter 270 [Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon] Accident at the press conference
Zhou Runfa said with great sincerity: "Young people, it is good to show off your talents, but at this time, you still have to abide by some rules. No matter what, Yang Ziqiong is your senior. Don't always be tit-for-tat. In this way, when you arrive
In Hong Kong, even in Hollywood, people will regard them as a thorn in their side and isolate them."
Because Zhou Runfa saw the shadow of his own youth in Ye Ming, who was passionate, stubborn, and had a kind of persistence that would not bow to the strong. However, more than 20 years of ups and downs in the entertainment industry also made Zhou Runfa truly know
Well, in this circle, compromise is actually more needed. Then he kindly reminded Ye Ming that sometimes, necessary compromise is needed. Li Yu also seemed to feel that he had no face, so he snorted and said: "
What the crew needs is unity."
Li Yu was very dissatisfied with Ye Ming's strength. A director likes his films to have some thorns in them. However, at this time, Ye Ming said without flinching: "I have written down what Mr. Zhou said, but
, Director Li, in fact, you know very well what happened. If you say that your seniors are like seniors, then I will naturally respect them. But some seniors want to use their power to bully others, and I am not convinced by this.
Already.
Why, if we have to compare capital, then we should compare qualifications. It makes sense to be your senior anyway, right? Since Ms. Yang is talking about capital, I will talk to her about capital. I don’t think I am disunited in this matter.
.”
Zhou Runfa's words were considered as a kind of advice to Ye Ming. Ye Ming would naturally not listen to them at this time, but Li Yu's words, to be honest, are indeed not very good. It has been like this until now. Why?
How could Ye Ming be convinced? At this time, Li Yu seemed to be a little unhappy, but in the end he held back and did not say anything. From Li Yu's eyes, Ye Ming also felt a trace of ruthlessness.
Because Zhou Runfa was late, after arriving, he dealt with the conflict between Ye Ming and Yang Ziqiong. As a result, the press conference did not officially start until half past nine.
At this press conference, when it was Zhou Run's turn to speak, he first apologized. He said that he got into a traffic jam after getting off the plane, so he was late and made everyone wait for a long time. A true emperor and superstar will not show off by being late.
With my own worth, this is a trick that only those actors who are famous but not famous enough like to use it.
At this time, reporters all knew what the traffic conditions in Beijing were like. Therefore, under such a situation, Zhou Runfa's apology was very empathetic. At this time, the unpleasant things passed quickly.
Already.
However, there was actually an unexpected episode in this press conference. When Ye Ming was introduced, everyone had actually received the information about this character. It should be the role of Luo Xiaohu, Yu Jiaolong’s lover. In fact, everyone also
I was very much looking forward to what the personable Er Kang would be like if he played a robber. However, at this time, when director Li Yu introduced Ye Ming, he used the word "to be determined".
This made Ye Ming's face darken on the spot: "Director Li, do you owe me an explanation?"
Li Yu seemed to say that there was no direct explanation. Instead, he told the media: "Actually, this kind of thing is a bit unexpected. Mr. Ye Ming was originally scheduled to play a role like Luo Xiaohu, but because of the signing of the contract
When signing the contract, it was during the Golden Horse Awards last year. The contract signed did not indicate that Luo Xiaohu’s role must be. At that time, the script, crew, etc. were not very complete. So we just said we would do it.
It was just a verbal agreement. But yesterday, one of our investors, Mr. Xu Ligong, also recommended another person to come over and planned to let Zhang Zhen play the role of Luo Xiaohu. This made me a little embarrassed.
Therefore, my decision is still pending. In the afternoon, I will review the two actors with the other two investors and Mr. Zhou Runfa to see who is more suitable for the role of Luo Xiaohu. Of course, those who are unsuccessful should not be discouraged.
I will rearrange a supporting role."
The process of the press conference was like a third-rate drama about the grudges between urban wealthy families, with the same bloodshed and the same ups and downs. It was like riding a roller coaster and it was hard to fathom. At this moment, Zhou Runfa still had that look on his face even though he was talking.
He smiled like a gentleman, but there was also a wave of excitement in his heart.
He knew very well that he had known this for a long time. Ye Ming was the actor who played Luo Xiaohu. However, Li Yu decided to change it at the press conference. This made Zhou Runfa feel the same.
It was unexpected. But Fa Ge is indeed a veteran, with a big heart, and his demeanor seemed to say that it never happened.
Letting a person who was originally the second male lead play a small supporting role is something that is almost impossible in other crews. The reporters can see it. In fact, it is Li Yu
The dissatisfaction with Ye Ming, anyway, is to say that when I saw the look in Li Yu's eyes at Ye Ming, I knew there was something wrong. And the heroine Yang Ziqiong, the martial arts actress, was also in high spirits at the moment, as if she was saying that she was not satisfied with this.
Something seemed so happy that even Zhang Ziyi had a knowing smile that couldn't be concealed on her face at the moment.
At this time, Yu Guo from [Entertainment Morning News] stood up and said: "Can Director Li's interview this afternoon be conducted in public? I think everyone is very eager to see who will win the role of the second male lead."
These words actually represent the sentiments of many reporters present. This visit was not in vain. Under such circumstances, not only did I see Zhou Runfa, whom I had not seen for a long time, but I also discovered such a big inside story.
The director and the actors were actually at odds with each other.
Li Yu is a great international director. Regardless of whether he is famous in China or not, his international status cannot be ignored. But Ye Ming is not an ordinary person either. He is the Golden Horse Best Actor and the singer who won the title of King in the First World War. These two identities
It cannot be ignored either.
But it is quite interesting that a first-line star like this actually said that he was facing a situation like Li Yu changing his team at the last minute. At that moment, Li Yu said with a smile: "Well, of course, such a thing,
I plan to make my selection public, and I hope everyone can witness the birth of the second male lead with me."
At this time, everyone could already see that Li Yu was indeed dissatisfied with Ye Ming, which could be seen from Li Yu's expression and words. At this moment, Zhou Runfa seemed to open his mouth to say something, but
In the end, I hesitated for a moment and did not speak out. At this moment, the remaining issues are almost trivial. With the explosive news that Ye Ming is pending, basically no one will care about the remaining issues.
.
Therefore, this press conference ended hastily. However, what everyone is more looking forward to is the test that Ye Ming will face this afternoon. Whether he can take on a role like Luo Xiaohu?
It's really hard to explain clearly. At noon, when they were playing devil's advocate, the reporters gathered together to eat the buffet. Yu Guo walked up to Lao Bai with a plate and said casually: "Brother Bai, tell me, this matter, Li
What the hell is the director doing? I don’t believe it. It’s already the opening ceremony. A character like Luo Xiaohu actually said that it has not been finalized. It is clear that Li Yu wants to deal with Ye Ming. But what about it?
?”
After all, Lao Bai is an old man in the industry, and he has seen a lot of dirty things in this crew. Therefore, in such a situation, Lao Bai said with a smile: "It's hard to say this, but, look.
Going up, it should be that the relationship between the two people is not very good. It is not necessarily a conflict that may have occurred. And have you seen it? This matter is not as simple as it seems on the surface. Yang Ziqiong and Zhang Ziyi were in constant conflict with each other from beginning to end.
Ye Ming not only didn't say a word, but also didn't even interact at all. The relationship between the actors in this crew is not very good." What a crew needs is unity, and it was filmed by a crew that was not very united.
The movie won't be a good movie either.
Yu Guo nodded and said, "I think so. Director Li intends to win Ye Ming, but he needs to find a suitable reason, and this audition can be a better fig leaf."
This is not to say that there are no auditions after the opening ceremony, but most of them are small supporting roles. It is very rare for a role like the second supporting role to audition after the filming begins.
Of course, it doesn’t mean that it’s impossible to work with a strong director. Zhang Jizhong’s “Legend of the Condor Heroes” was originally played by Lu Yi as the male lead. Two or three episodes were filmed, but in the end, it was replaced by Li Yapeng.
This soft rice king.
So, changing roles is not a rare thing in the entertainment industry.
At this time, Zhou Runfa sat on the sofa and said with some doubts: "Director Li, what you did is a bit unethical. Making such a substitution decision at the last minute will make Ye Ming feel distraught. This will have a negative impact on the future."
The shooting was not that good."
Li Yu said with great certainty: "I understand this matter very well, but I have no choice. In fact, what I mean is to replace Ye Ming. No matter what, I must replace Ye Ming.
With actors who are under control, it is difficult for me to make a movie. Ye Ming, I never thought that a kung fu master with such potential would be so undisciplined."
This is also the real reason why Li Yu must capture Ye Ming.
