Chapter 417 The unspoken rules of the entertainment industry
Although Star Wars was promoted with great fanfare and even Lucas was invited, the results were shocking. According to the official promotion, the box office is currently only 7 million, which is far lower.
It was beyond expectations, let alone compared with Star Wars. () This is actually one of the reasons why Han Shanping was very angry.
He even invited Lucas over but couldn't save the box office, which shows how bad things like this are.
At this time, the box office of Ye Ming's low-budget movie "Nightclub" had already reached 5.6 million. Although it did not exceed "Star Wars", under such circumstances, it was still enough.
Han Shanping was very depressed. It was only a matter of time before he was overtaken. He was overtaken by a local low-budget film. At this time, if Star Wars is a Hollywood blockbuster, he would lose all his dignity at this time.
Han Shanping glanced at Ye Ming angrily and said, "Boy, the movies you made are doing well at the box office. It's not even the Lunar New Year period yet, and you're already catching up with Star Wars." Ye Ming didn't expect the angry Han.
Shanping actually had such resentment and said with a smile: "Thanks to the support of the leader for this project. If it weren't for your support, I wouldn't dare to do it like this."
At this time, Han Shanping's face looked a little better, and he was quite supportive of Ye Ming. With Ye Ming's achievements, he felt a little happy that he did not forget his roots.
At this time, Han Shanping said helplessly: "What's the use of this? One of your movies is too far away from the above requirements. If there is a movie like Titanic, it would be about the same. Originally,
I was counting on Star Wars: The Phantom Menace to help me realize this ideal, but I didn’t expect that Star Wars would be such a big pit. It’s so pitiful that it’s unimaginable.
Your low-budget movie, a drama-like thing shot in every supermarket, is actually catching up with Star Wars at the box office. This is really embarrassing for others."
Ye Ming knew that this movie was about how embarrassing it would be for others. In fact, even if it was about making Han Shanping himself, it would be embarrassing for him. This was something he had never thought of at all.
Ye Ming said with great certainty: "Third Master, if you are in such a mood, you will probably not be in a good mood at least before the Chinese New Year. The Chinese New Year period has not started yet, and this year's
During the Lunar New Year period, you can see that it will be a battle between dragons and tigers, and the box office will definitely surprise you."
At this time, Han Shanping was a little silent, yes. The Lunar New Year movies are all coming in force. Needless to say, Feng Xiaogang is eyeing the third Lunar New Year movie [Endless]. At this time, he is the king of Lunar New Year movies.
This is Feng Xiaogang's all-out work, and it is a collaboration with his old partner Ge You. It is guaranteed to make the audience happy.
As for Ye Ming's "People on the Road", although it has gone through some ups and downs, the result has finally come out, and according to Han Shanping's viewing, it is also a comedy that people can't put down. Moreover, there are other New Year's greetings.
The latest movie, the high-quality version of Chen Kaige's "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" will also be re-released. Anyway, the world of New Year movies has become a mess now.
Under such a situation, Han Shanping himself was somewhat powerless. Seeing this somewhat disturbing result, Han Shanping said helplessly: "Let's mess up. There will always be someone to clean up the box office.
If you want to improve it, then it doesn’t mean that there is nothing wrong with messing up on such an issue." Anyway, as long as it can meet the leadership’s expectations at the box office, then at this time, we can organize a lot of things like this several times.
The result is also quite good.
Star Wars disappointed Han Shanping. Therefore, under such circumstances, Han Shanping still hoped to give himself a surprise during the Lunar New Year.
Han Shanping said reluctantly: "
The Lunar New Year festival is an important moment for our Chinese film industry to break through the standards set by our leaders. I don’t know if it will be successful.”
Ye Ming actually doesn't have much interest in this issue. It's true that this time it's a fierce battle. Chen Kaige is destined to be slapped in the face again. Feng Xiaogang will also be proud of the New Year film again. Of course, with Ye
With the participation of Ming's "People on the Road", it must be a fierce battle in a situation like this.
At this time, Ye Ming brought up a topic and said: "Third Master, just when I came to take the lead, the British side had already given me news about the casting of Harry Potter."
Han Shanping mentioned this matter before, saying that if Ye Ming wants to go to England, he can take some people with him to visit, study, or even travel. Anyway, everyone will be satisfied by then.
Such a situation immediately made Han Shanping feel a little better. Nodding, Han Shanping's eyes were slightly surprised: "Really? The opportunity to go to the UK.
This is also a very good opportunity for some people. Unfortunately, there are only fifteen people, which is quite disappointing. It would be better if there were more people."
At this time, not many people are willing to believe this. In fact, even Han Shanping himself feels that he is right, very right. Let alone fifteen people, in fact, even if there are thirty places,
Well, that's not enough points at all. Why didn't Ye Ming go to the company at all and just hide away from Han Shanping?
Ye Ming was not impressed at all and said: "Third Master, are you really joking? I fought for these fifteen places. They gave me five places at the beginning. I fought for them. When the time comes,
I hope everyone can have a safe journey. There is no problem in agreeing to take them with me this time, and there is absolutely no problem in giving them some help when the time comes. Just give me a list of names after you agree on it.
The people leaving this time are a little more anxious. It’s best for them to start preparations as soon as they get the news, right?” This time, they took the group to expire. Originally, Ye Ming didn’t plan to do this, but Han Shanping didn’t want to. In this situation,
In one case, he just pinched his nose and admitted it.
But at this time, Ye Ming also told those who saw his joke in a very rude manner to be obedient or watch how I deal with you.
Originally, this kind of thing was a relatively personal matter, and no one would report it. In fact, even if it was reported, in a situation like this, it was just that it would be reported that Ye Ming went to the UK to participate in Harry Potter role selection.
It's news like this. But people still found out about it.
Naturally, only people in the Douchi circle know about it. At least now, only people in a small circle know about it, and there is no large-scale spread.
But even if this is the case, such a matter has attracted enough attention from interested people.
Feng Xiaogang called and heard that Ye Ming had time and invited him to dinner. Moreover, Feng Xiaogang was not the only one who came this time. Even Ge You, who had always been a bad person who liked to drink and eat with others, also came with him.
Already.
Feng Xiaogang was also rude. When he saw Ye Ming, he called directly: "You can do it, Ye Zi, for making such a big noise. During this song, it will definitely make people's eyes bright. You are not afraid of someone with good intentions taking this."
Are things making a fuss?"
Ye Ming also understood very well what kind of ordinary people Feng Xiaogang said about caring people. He thought about it, and then said helplessly: "Director Feng, what you said, I can't help myself. This matter has nothing to do with me."
Yes, but Third Master knows that I don’t belong to the UK, and he just wants to use this local event to organize a restaurant delegation or something. Do you think I can agree to it? Do you think I dare not agree to it? "
This thing is obvious, it is more than possible, Ye Ming definitely does not have the courage to refuse Han Shanping. Feng Xiaogang is also very clear about this, let alone a young man like Ye Ming, or even Feng Xiaogang,
It is impossible for an old man like Wang Zhongjun to resist Han Shanping's inquiries.
Ge You saw it accurately: "Ye Ming, you are talking about whether you can't help yourself or not. Anyway, if you do it like this, it will be a bit dangerous at this time. Once you are caught by a reporter
Got it, you took that group of people on a trip. Those who knew the truth understood that you were doing the job of selecting characters for Harry Potter, but those who didn’t know thought you were also traveling with public funds. Seventeen Eighteen
Personally, you are really capable of doing this."
Do reporters know about this? Basically, as long as you are talking about reporters in the entertainment industry, people of all sizes know about this. But no one will tell it because everyone is very aware of such unspoken rules.
As long as you know this matter yourself, but once it is published in the media, it will be your fault. This will immediately offend China Film and even the General Administration.
Because after all, it was Ye Ming who led this group of people there, right? Ye Ming felt happy for a moment after being exposed, but what kind of negative impact will it bring in such a situation? Then this is
There are no reporters who are willing to bear the responsibility. How many reporters who can hang out in the capital are fools? Naturally, they are very low-level and know the inside story.
Therefore, the news was delivered in such a strange way. Everyone in the circle knew about it, but no one in the audience would understand what it was about. What Feng Xiaogang and Ge You were actually worried about That’s it. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel will be better and updated faster!
