Ye Ming just left the office. Director Chen seemed to be deliberately waiting to greet Ye Ming and said: "Mr. Ye, just now President Zhang asked you to write a notebook. You have to hurry up. I'm waiting here. You have this notebook."
If we can’t get out, our roles will never be finalized.”
As for a title like Ye Ming, Chen Daoyuan actually knows it quite well.
If you call me Xiaoye in private, the two of you are not familiar with each other to this extent, and the relationship between the two is not particularly good.
So when it comes to calling Xiaoye, Director Chen must have this qualification, but the relationship between the two is not that good.
If you call me Director Ye, then Ye Ming is actually not that good.
And Director Chen will feel a little awkward, so the direct title Ye is a general term for entrepreneurs. Regardless of age, if someone starts a company, he is the general manager or something like that, he can just call him something like that.
no problem.
So in fact, Director Chen is indeed quite good at his age. It’s not that he doesn’t know how to communicate, nor that he doesn’t have emotional intelligence. He just means that sometimes he is too lazy to use his own wisdom to think about problems in this aspect.
As long as it's what he wants to do, Director Chen has done a pretty good job in this regard.
Ye Ming knew very well that in this case, Director Chen's original intention to wait for him was not to rush the script, but to say that I am essentially the master of the matter. Anyway, Director Chen expressed this meaning at this time, asking you to hurry up.
When it comes to writing, I don’t expect you to be able to write a good book. Anyway, you have to write it according to my wishes.
Director Chen is worthy of being Director Chen. He expressed his meaning clearly in just two sentences. As for whether Ye Ming could understand it, it has nothing to do with Director Chen.
If Ye Ming can't understand, don't get involved in the entertainment industry.
As for Ye Ming, he said without hesitation at this time: "Don't worry, I will definitely take Director Chen's matter to heart, and after I write it, I won't be able to say that it will be decided immediately for us all to discuss together.
.
After all, for such a big project, the most I can do is produce a script. It’s up to the big guys to determine the specific details. At most, I’m just throwing ideas out there.”
The attitude expressed by Ye Ming at this moment is also very accurate. That is to say, the most I can do is write a book, and let everyone decide what to say. Moreover, Ye Ming also expressed an attitude that I will write the words in this book, but the responsibility
I'm not responsible.
After all, this book requires everyone to confirm how much they can change it after I write it, but that is beyond my control.
This means that as the chief director, you can shoot however you want. If you are willing to shoot according to my script, then shoot according to my script. If you are not willing to shoot according to my script, then forget it. You can make changes yourself.
question.
Ye Ming is actually very open-minded on this point, because Ye Ming also knows very well that an international director like Director Chen has his own personality, and he overturns the script when making a movie.
Yes, re-modification is not impossible, but very possible.
Therefore, in this case, Ye Ming first expressed his attitude, I can write the script, but I will not be sure how the script was shot. That is your director's business.
Ye Ming's words also expressed his position. After all, Chairman Zhang also said that everyone should discuss this book after it comes out, which means that this book cannot be determined by one person and shared by everyone.
After all, this is an investment of 100 million. It cannot be a script determined by someone, nor can it be an actor determined by someone, just for everyone to discuss.
Director Chen actually wanted this sentence, so he told you very happily: "Yes, yes, Mr. Ye is indeed young, and the achievements he has now did not come out of thin air. I think back then I was like Ye
At this age, I'm still in school and don't know how to handle a camera.
Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."
Now that he got the answer he wanted, Director Chen was not stingy with a few words of praise. Anyway, two words of praise are free, and no one would take them seriously.
Ye Ming also laughed and said: "Director Chen is being polite, what does that mean to me? I owe a few achievements to the help of everyone, the support of leaders, and the support of seniors.
To be honest, when it comes to making films, especially art films, domestically speaking, you still have to look to Director Chen. You have to take the initiative yourself. It's such a big investment, and it's an art film.
Apart from you, if anyone in China can handle this, I really don’t know who to look for.
After all, opera-type art films are your specialty, Director Chen."
These words really touched Director Chen's heart, because Director Chen started his career in this way, so Director Chen was very happy after hearing these words. He laughed and said: "You're welcome. You're welcome, so am I.
The boss believes in us, so we should work hard to make the film. I only need the support of everyone when I make the film.
For example, Mr. Ye, your company has a lot of actresses with acting skills. Looking back, you can recommend them to us guys to compete fairly. Within a reasonable range, we will definitely take care of our own people."
At this time, Director Chen wrote a blank check to Ye Ming, saying that even if your actors come, what is a reasonable range?
In other words, as long as the exchange of interests is sufficient, it will not be a big problem to produce the film, and it will be no problem to take care of it. The premise is that there must be a suitable opportunity and a suitable price.
Of course, what Director Chen said is already quite accurate. With Director Chen's care, at least other actors in Ye Ming's company still have the opportunity to fight for a small supporting role.
Without Director Chen's care, it would not be very easy to win a supporting role in an art film with such a large investment.
For example, Zhao Xiaodao, if it weren't for Director Chen's words, he wouldn't have thought about getting any role in such a big movie. Even a small role might not have been possible.
But if Director Chen's words are true, Zhao Xiaodao's opportunity to compete for such a small supporting role will be quite big.
This is why Director Chen sold one to Ye Ming because Ye Ming was very knowledgeable.
Of course, the one assigned at the meeting does not count. It must be implemented. The promise made by Director Chen is an additional opportunity.
This is how the entertainment industry is, right? The big red sedan chair also needs to be carried by big guys.
Since Ye Ming was so generous in writing the book, Director Chen did not hesitate to give Ye Ming a big favor.
As for whether Ye Yin can eat this big cake, it depends on the situation. Anyway, I have already melted the big cake.
Whether you have the ability to turn this pie into reality depends on you, Ye Ming, and the actors in your company.
The two people chatted and laughed, like old friends reunited after a long separation, and slowly walked out the door.
The phone call came as soon as Ye Ming walked out of the parking lot. Wang Xiaoshu directly called and waited for Ye Ming at the door, blocking the call on the spot.
Ye Ming must drag Ye Ming to a nearby cafe. Of course, Ye Ming has nothing particularly important to do. If Wang Xiaoshu stops him, he has to give face. After all, they are good friends.
While drinking coffee with an unknown amount of profit, Ye Ming complained: "Okay, Wang Xiaoshu, you changed your profession to be a spy, and you can actually wait here to block me. I remember I was Zhang
The president and others came here, even if no one in our company seems to know that I am here, how do you know that I am having a meeting here?"
Wang Xiaoshu snorted and said: "How do I know how to make a joke? Don't you think about the big thing you guys have done. Now it is estimated that half of the people in the entertainment industry know about it. We can't wait two hours. As for us, we are going to do a big thing."
Everyone in the entertainment industry will know about such a billion-dollar art film.
The news I got now is relatively late. Believe it or not, it is impossible for Director Chen to go home now. He was directly dragged over by his friends, including Director Feng and even Mr. Mei.
I was dragged away to inquire about this matter.
It just so happened that I was drinking with friends nearby, and our old man called me and asked me to find you. It just so happened that you came out and I called you and found that you were about to leave. I couldn't pull you over to inquire.
Let’s find out what’s going on.
If I don't do this well, our old man will have to stop my card. Do you believe it?
So, this time, I will definitely have to stop you and ask you, what is going on? Is it true?
An art film worth 100 million. With such a huge investment, did someone encounter a fake when they were drinking? Who came up with such an idea?"
Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "De Xing, if you are not sure this is true, will you block me?
It must be true. Let me tell you, it must be true. You may have seen our opera above. It is indeed very unpopular, so I wanted to support it.
It is said that we want to make a blockbuster movie. If we want to support it, we need to support it vigorously. We cannot make a small fuss and spend millions to make a movie and it will be over without even seeing a splash. This is not called direct support.
.
If you want to open a big investment, you need to invest 100 million, and for external investment, if you want to publicize 100 million, it should be at least 80 million. In addition to the post-production of publicity and so on, a lower of 150 million is no problem. Anyway, it is probably at least 80 million.
This movie was made with a budget of 100 million.
It is said that the King of Heaven from Hong Kong City will be invited to participate, and those from the mainland are at least at a later level, and they are at a later level with acting skills, so in this case, you don’t need to say anything else, this matter is definitely
it is true.
It won't take long for a formal announcement to be made to everyone. Anyway, there is strong support for this matter from above, there is no doubt about it.
With a small goal of 100 million, think about it, such an art film has never appeared before, so this is a big move, and it is personally directed by Director Chen, one of the troika of domestic directors.
As for Guoshi, he is busy with his own affairs now, and as for Xiaogangpao, he is engaged in business, and he will definitely not be able to make this kind of art film, so director Chen is the most suitable.
Moreover, this is the film where he started, and the film where he became famous is this type of film, so in this case, it should be said that it is very suitable for him to do it."
Wang Xiaoshu was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't Director Chen's adult film Yellow Earth?"
Ye Ming snorted and said, "Aren't you serious? Are you right? Is Farewell My Concubine bad?
Anyway, if you have to find someone who can control this kind of film, it also depends on Director Chen. The leadership above also means the same thing, so it is determined that Director Chen is the chief director of this film.
As for this film, it is estimated that the project will have to be approved after the year. Maybe it will have to start shooting after the year, or at the latest in the second half of the year. Anyway, what the leader means is that even if it is not made next year, the film will have to be released the year after that.
Get it out.
That's probably what it means. Anyway, there is no doubt that this matter is true, and this matter was personally supervised by President Zhang. Do others dare to neglect you when you talk about this matter?"
Wang Xiaoshu was very surprised and said: "Sure enough, this is the news I got. It's a small goal. I'm really brave about it. I'm not afraid of not being able to recoup such a big investment. Big Laowang and the others have all gone there."
, you have to let them develop some feelings, it’s impossible to let a few of them go."
This was not confidential information, so Ye Mingen said without hesitation: "Director Chen himself said that he wanted to bring in half of the investment. According to Director Chen's reputation, it would be no problem for him to bring in half of the investment. 40 million would be enough."
It looks like 50 million
The remaining Big Laowang and the others must get some. Finally, Director Feng and I will also invest a little, and we will work together to get this thing started.
After all, the leader has said that it is impossible not to give the leader face. Therefore, if your company wants to get involved in this matter, I guess the only way to do it is from the actor side.
Remember, when recommending actors from the past, they must have acting skills. Don’t recommend young actors. Even if they are top-notch actors in your company, don’t ask me to recommend them. The actors who need to be recommended must have acting skills.
It’s hard to say how famous you are, but you must have acting skills. If you don’t have acting skills, you won’t be able to pass the director level, or even the casting director level, and you will be rejected immediately.
Don't blame me for not telling you, it will be your company's business to lose face if you are beaten back.
Therefore, when your company is preparing to recommend candidates, the first thing to consider is not the actor's reputation, but whether the actor has acting skills. Without that, nothing will work.
Of course, if you don’t want to get involved, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”
Wang Xiaoshu said very definitely: "Of course we have to participate, it is impossible for us not to participate in such a thing.
My dad has already said that he must be involved in this matter, let’s not talk about investment and so on, but the actors must be involved, otherwise they will be laughed at.”
