Chapter Four Hundred and Twenty Brother Isn't Soy Sauce?
Christopher didn't seem to care about this very much, and said with a smile: "What's the big deal? In fact, according to the contract, the producers, directors, and actors must be British talents. It is impossible for Hollywood to return to this point.
Yes, as for what kind of British people they choose, even if we have no way to intervene, what can we do? After all, at this time, Americans have no advantage, right?"
Ye Ming originally thought that Christopher and the others wanted to take control of your right to choose actors, so that resulted in the result that you were screwed just now, but it seems that both Christopher and Rowling took this issue very lightly.
Yes, I didn't take this matter to heart at all.
Therefore, Ye Ming also said with great admiration: "I see, this matter was already tricked when you signed the contract. As long as the people from Warner Bros. signed the contract, they must act in accordance with the contract. This pair
British movies are also beneficial, but for you and Ms. Rowling, it may not be a good thing."
The development of British movies in the past two years is not very good. To be precise, even the development of movies in other countries around the world is not very good. As long as Hollywood is suppressing it, then the development of other countries' movies is not very good.
There will never be a day when movies will turn around. If Hollywood actors star in masterpieces like Harry Potter, there will be no day when British movies will turn around.
Therefore, the actions of Christopher and Rowling can be said to be well-intentioned. At this moment, Christopher also said helplessly: "That's pretty much it. We are not that great. We just don't want to look at cheap Hollywood. In fact, we will treat you
If you invite them over, it will be a process of compromise at times like this. Among these five people, two are from Warner Brothers and two are from our side. In fact, no matter who gets this first
All three quotas can influence the choice of actors. Therefore, Warner Bros. was not confident in giving it to us. And we were not very confident in giving it to them, so we found you as the middleman.
In fact, you are the one who has the final say. I think it won’t be long before the people from Warner Bros. come over to win over you.”
These words make people excited. If it were someone else, they might be moved, but Ye Ming is someone who has been in the entertainment industry for more than a day or two, so
.At this time, it is very clear what the inside story is.
In such a situation, Ye Ming's status is relatively subtle, but he will never take himself too seriously. No matter what, Christopher is right. This is Warner Brothers' investment.
, so they actually have absolute control. If Christopher wants to use himself as a gun user, then Ye Ming will definitely not be willing to do so at this time.
Therefore, Ye Ming said with a smile: "I don't care what they think about this matter. I just do my own thing well. Anyway, everything is mainly about movies. As long as I am interested in this movie
I'll do what's good for the movie. If it's not good for the movie, I can only say sorry. I think whether it's you or Hollywood, it's all for the good of the movie, right?"
A deluxe standard room at the London Hilton Hotel is Ye Ming's current temporary residence. It must be said that although Warner Brothers did not come to pick up Ye Ming, they made quite appropriate arrangements.
If a Hollywood superstar comes here, he will naturally be treated like a presidential suite, but for a person of Ye Ming's status to have a luxurious suite, it is already quite a good thing.
At this time, there were three people drinking coffee in the suite, one of which was naturally Ye Ming. At this time, Ye Ming was thinking about what kind of cooking Warner Brothers wanted to maximize profits. Therefore, the whole person seemed a bit silent at the moment.
The other one is naturally Christopher. This businessman is not as simple as he seems, but a very shrewd businessman. But at this time, this businessman's face also showed an inexplicable worry.
The remaining one is none other than the author of Harry Potter, Ms. Rowling. The three of them were able to get together because of Christopher's efforts.
Naturally, the only one who could break the silence at this time was Christopher. He said solemnly: "Actually, things may not be as bad as we thought. In such a thing, in fact, some things just can't be changed.
, I said that Ye Ming’s vote seems quite friendly to China at this time. Ye, you will want to have most of the rights with your Warner Bros. comrades. Which of the eight Hollywood giants is not greedy? When the time comes, I’m afraid
It means that we people have no chance to drink soup, let alone make a fortune. At this time, only our cooperation can protect our own interests, Mr. Ye, don’t you think so."
What Christopher said is not wrong. In fact, in terms of their own interests, Ye Ming, Christopher and Rowling are in the same boat.
Ye Ming finally understands now that Christopher will pick up his plane tonight. It turns out that they really have something to work with together. No wonder, when it comes to the personal relationship between the two, it is not actually very good, but now they are facing each other.
As for Time Warner, they all know very well that with the greed of the Hollywood giant, it is impossible for Ye Ming and the three of them to cooperate with each other.
Therefore, Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's right, Ms. Ai Qiuhua once tried to acquire my company. It can be seen that Warner Brothers is not willing to take advantage of us.
Therefore, our cooperation is the best result, which can at least guarantee the interests of our side."
In such a situation, Luo Lin saw Ye Ming agreeing to cooperate, and she seemed very excited: "Ye, actually what we are waiting for is what you said. At this time, what the two of us mean is
If a real British child is to star in this movie, the director and producer should be British. However, it is obvious that the people at Warner Bros. will not give up so easily. They will find various reasons.
hinder this."
Ms. Luo Lin was not ordinary worried about this. Therefore, after she knew that Ye Ming would come, she very much hoped to cooperate with Ye Ming. Fortunately, Ye Ming was also very aware of the current situation and knew that cooperation would be the best way to do it.
It's the most important thing, and we didn't refuse to cooperate. This made you and Christopher feel a lot better, Loli.
But at this time, Ye Ming also had something he didn't understand: "Ms. Rowling, after all, we have a contract. Could it be that a Hollywood company that has always abided by the contract would not abide by the contract? Although the eight giants of Hollywood are powerful and greedy, no matter what
How about it? Reputation is the capital for their livelihood. If they dare to tear up the contract just because of such a trivial matter, then I think it is impossible."
Although the eight giants of Hollywood say that they will resort to any means before the matter is completed, no matter what they say, as long as they sign a contract, at this time, they will definitely have the spirit of the contract and will not violate it.
This is why they signed a contract with Ye Ming before, but after discovering the value of Harry Potter, they did not dare to break the contract casually.
At most, it was to take advantage of the fact that Ye Ming's company was in financial crisis to save the country and wanted to acquire Brilliant Film and Television. However, if they did not abide by the contract, at least Ye Ming believed that Warner Brothers would not have the guts to do such a thing.
Rowling shook her head and said: "If it is true that they do not abide by the contract, then it will not matter when the time comes. They will not do that. However, it depends on people. Isn't that what you said? If you are talking about putting a person
It is actually not a difficult thing for an American to become a British national. Especially for an industry giant like Warner Brothers, it is so simple.
Therefore, if they first turned their actors into British actors and then participated in the filming of Harry Potter, we would not be able to say that they violated the contract. After all, the contract only stated that they must be British.
But if we are talking about Americans and British people, it is not impossible. What I am worried about is that they will do this. Then, our contract settlement will be in name only, and basically there will be no such restriction.
What’s the difference?”
It seems that at this time, Ye Ming realized the urgency of this matter. Changing the world is a relatively difficult matter for the Chinese people, but it is the same as what Luo Lin said. If it is just
If you turn Americans into British people, it seems to be a very simple matter.
Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming nodded and said: "Honestly, it is really possible. What do you want to do?"
Rowling and Christopher looked at each other, their eyes gleaming with excitement. Ye Ming could ask such a question, which meant that Ye Ming recognized their views, and the next thing would be much easier to do.
Rowling said very happily: "Ye, it's actually very simple. Aren't you one of the five judges? Two of the five judges are from our side, and two are from the standpoint of Warner Brothers."
Therefore, your judgment is the most decisive. As long as you insist on using real British actors instead of fake actors of American descent, there will be room for redemption."
Ye Ming is in the middle and is now considered the most critical vote.
At this time, Ye Ming finally understood that he was not just a soy sauce guy (To be continued...)
