The premiere was actually quite successful, at least for most people... Lucas opened up the Chinese film market. No matter what, he announced to the Chinese audience that Star Wars is coming
, Lucas is here.
At present, Chairman Liu is also very happy. The success of this premiere in Da Nang is his contribution. And the reporters got enough news, and the audience was able to appreciate the elegance of Hollywood blockbusters. Everything
It seemed that everyone was happy. But in fact, it did not mean that everyone was very satisfied at this time. At least Fan Binbin was not very satisfied. At this time, she did have a chance to see Lucas, but she originally planned to
He stepped forward to take a photo with his idol, but in the end he failed.
Lucas actually didn't have time like this. If the premiere ended like this, everything would be really perfect. However, just when the host announced that the premiere had ended successfully, everyone was waiting for them to go
While watching the movie, Chen Kaige turned around and said, as if he suddenly thought of something, "Ye Ming, I think I heard someone else say that your company has a movie called "What is it?" It will be released tomorrow, right?
, if there is a premiere, I would say I have time to attend."
These words seem to be spoken to one's old friends, but in fact, only the person involved can know what is going on. Perhaps Zhang Yimou, who is sitting aside, can also understand what is going on between them.
But the remaining people don’t know much about the grievances between them. In the eyes of others, it seems that an atmospheric director like Chen Kaige shows concern for the younger generations.
However, if this comes from Zhang Yimou's mouth, it's not a big deal. If it comes from the third master's mouth, it's no big deal either.
But this passage from Chen Kaige's mouth is worth pondering. Ah, a big pit. What time is it now, the premiere ceremony of "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace",
But under such a situation, Chen Kaige still wanted to tell Ye Ming that a small movie could be released. This naturally made Ye Ming ugly.
Ye Ming was not polite at all, but there was no hint of displeasure on his face. He nodded and said: "Well, there is indeed such a thing. It is a small-budget movie called [Nightclub], directed by Chen
I also heard that the masterpiece [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin] has been re-edited. I don’t know when I will be able to see this work by Director Chen. I will be very happy to be able to see this movie again."
Ye Ming is not Chinese at all. In this circle, if you say hello everyone, hello everyone, then in a situation like this, there is nothing else to say. However, if Chen Kaige really
If he thinks about stepping on himself to get the limelight, then in such a situation, Ye Ming will definitely not meet. There is no room for negotiation on this matter. Don't think this is a public place. Lucas, Wood, and Ai
Qiuhua and others were at the scene, but Ye Ming would not give up.
At that time, Zhang Yimou glanced at the two of them and said, "You two are not afraid of others seeing the joke. Do you think it's funny? If you have anything to say, please discuss it privately. There are so many reporters. It will be the headlines tomorrow."
That is, it happened that at this time, Lucas still noticed this. Although he did not ask such a question in front of reporters, at the banquet, Lucas still found Ye Ming and said
: "Mr. Ye, I just heard you and Mr. Chen discussing movie issues. Do you both have your own works released? I'm really sorry, but I didn't set the release date of Star Wars, so
, I can’t control it. But why do you want to follow the release of Star Wars like Director Chen? To be honest, there is still a certain gap between Chinese movies and Hollywood movies. Such a gap cannot be explained by using simple ones.
Little tricks can make up for it. You can wait until Star Wars is released."
Ye Ming told the truth: "I also have a movie to be released later in the day. It is a real movie war in China. The Lunar New Year period is the most fiercely contested period. It is definitely crueler than you can imagine.
.This movie of mine will only be released at this time.
Director Lucas, you are a great director, and Star Wars is a great film. There is no doubt about this. Judging from so many fans, you can see the charm of your film. But you still don’t know how to do it.
You know China so well, so in such a situation, I think you may encounter a little setback."
If anyone else was paying attention to what he said, they would definitely be very upset. In front of Lucas, in such a situation, he actually said that he dared to say something wrong about others. This is absolutely
It's not something ordinary people can do. And at this time, Lucas didn't feel angry at all. In fact, Lucas is not a stingy person. If he is a stingy person, it is impossible to be like this.
of an achievement.
Therefore, at this time, Lucas said with a smile: "You mean, my box office will be a failure? How did you see this? Tell me."
When he arrived in China, Lucas received the warmest welcome, and there were endless praises and praises. In such a situation, he himself was a little intoxicated. But he knew very well that these were not what he needed.
, a director who likes to sing praises cannot really gain a foothold in Hollywood. Therefore, in such a situation, Lucas hopes to get some different opinions, and at this time, it seems that Ye Ming can put forward it.
There are some different opinions.
Others, Lucas really has no hope of doing this. Moreover, a private communication with a girl, without any reporters or the like, is a very low-level place for exchange of experience.
Of course, this is also what Lucas appreciates about Ye Ming. If Ye Ming could not directly buy the copyright of [Harry Potter] and make Lucas take a high look, then what if this is the case?
At that time, he had no chance to talk to Lucas in private. Not even Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige had this chance.
Ye Ming looked at Lucas in the eyes. There was nothing arrogant or hypocritical. It was the kind of sincere inquiry. Therefore, he hesitated and said: "Actually, this matter is not ugly, Luka."
Director Si, you know that the screening of your movie in China is already seven or eight months later than in the United States. This is very low and critical."
Even Lucas couldn't deny this. Therefore, at this time, he nodded and said happily: "It's true, that's the truth, but I can't do anything about it. I'm a director, not a politician. I don't have any
My ability allowed my mother's film to be released simultaneously in China. You must know that this inspection took half a year, and I almost couldn't make it. This is not my fault."
This is of course not Lucas's fault, but Ye Ming said with great certainty: "This matter is not your fault, but it is Star Wars' fault. You came too late. You came too late. You
Have you noticed the dangers of it?"
The harm, what is this harm, isn't it just that the screening is a few days late? Lucas really didn't see how harmful it would be in a situation like this.
Therefore, when it comes to such a matter, Lucas said with some resignation: "I said this has nothing to do with me. There is harm. What harm is there? You know that last time Star Wars was not screened in China at all.
I think it was an ice-breaking trip, and that's what made it successful."
Ye Ming nodded and said with a very low level of certainty: "I admit this, this is an ice-breaking trip, there is nothing wrong with this, but in such a situation, what are we watching movies for? Box office, not
Speaking of other data, when we watch a movie, we have to look at the box office. Therefore, the real measure of whether Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is successful in China is to see how the box office is? Do you think that’s right?”
Of course, this point is actually impossible to deny even if you say Lucas. This is a fact, a very obvious fact. Without the box office, no one will ask him to make movies in the future, even if he is
The same goes for George Lucas. He must have a box office before anyone would ask him to make a movie.
At this time, Lucas nodded and said: "Yes, dear Ye, although you are young, you have a very thorough understanding of this industry. When I was your age, I didn't know such a profound truth. You continue
Saying that, will the box office be bad?"
Ye Ming nodded and said very seriously: "It will definitely be bad, there is no doubt about it."
Lucas shrugged and said, "Why, I came here in person, don't I just want to have a good box office?"
Ye Ming waved his hand and said: "This has nothing to do with whether you come or not. This Star Wars movie was released seven or eight months late. Pirated copies have already flooded the Chinese market. Pirated discs cost ten yuan a piece, not five yuan."
It's impossible to buy it. Think about it, there are so many pirated discs, and how many people will come to watch your movie. Is that movie worth your money? So, this time, the premiere of Star Wars
The style is very low and solemn, but it is absolutely impossible for the box office to be anywhere high, and it is not impossible to even say it is very miserable." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
