Huang Jianxin nodded and said: "This is good, this is good, because we are all Chinese directors, right? We must unite. I know that you directors all have your own trump card. This
I don’t need much help from you, just lend my ace members to Ye Ming. Ye Ming can’t shoot by himself, so his Xu Zheng will be the director and shoot a movie, but what about the post-production?”
This is something Ye Ming just mentioned. Post-production is the most difficult thing to figure out.
Under such a situation, it was precisely because of the difficulties in post-production that Ye Ming rejected the decision to use his latest film to impact [Pearl Harbor].
At this time, Huang Jianxin asked the question again. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I think Thai囧 will be a light comedy. If it is too late for this post-production, I can find a Hollywood company to do it. They can do it."
The speed is now twice as fast as ours. High technology will save time after all.
As for my new movie, as a movie that is aiming for an Oscar, I don’t want any accidents to happen during the movie. Therefore, I hope everyone will understand me.”
Now that Ye Ming has said this, as directors, naturally it’s hard for us to say anything.
Your brother Chen Kai once wanted to compete for the Oscar, and Zhang Yimou also wanted to compete for the Oscar, but they failed. Now if Ye Ming wants to compete for the Oscar, everyone still supports it verbally.
Although it’s hard to say how sincere this kind of support is, after all, it’s a matter of face, so I have to say support.
After the meeting, Huang Jianxin directly kept Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang and Chen Kaige. This incident surprised Chen Kaige because it was a matter of seniority. According to Chen Kaige's seniority, it was a matter of seniority.
Is there no way to stay?
How long has Ye Ming been playing movies? Regarding a question like this, doesn't it mean that Brother Chen Kai is not as good as Ye Ming?
Brother Chen Kai, who was feeling sulky, reluctantly left the venue.
Huang Jianxin and four other people came to a box. At this time, Huang Jianxin looked at Ye Ming cautiously and said: "Director Ye, this matter is not a joke. You said that there is a traitor in our director. Therefore, we have to use this method."
You have to build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly to ensure that your movie is released in time. Who is this traitor?"
Huang Jianxin once consulted Ye Ming about the release of "Pearl Harbor". After all, among the four major domestic directors, Ye Ming is the one who has his own works. To be honest, Huang Jianxin's consultation at the venue was just a process.
He had already set his target on Ye Ming, and had consulted Ye Ming on this issue early.
But Ye Ming has already said that there are traitors within the Directors Guild. This question surprised Huang Jianxin.
There is actually a traitor within the Directors Guild. This becomes very interesting.
It’s hard to say how good Hua Xia’s directors are, but in terms of their ability to make money, especially their ability to make money for themselves, under such circumstances, that means they are quite powerful. This level has already surpassed Hollywood’s.
Therefore, when it comes to betrayal by a traitor, it is a little difficult to say something like this. Ye Ming said with great certainty: "This matter is inevitable. I will not lie about this matter casually. As for
Who is the traitor? I can be sure who did it, but I can’t say it because I don’t have conclusive evidence. If there is no conclusive evidence about this matter, then once I say it, the other party may not be able to do it.
He will file a lawsuit with me.
But I know that there is. And he is a very famous director, so I have to beware of this person. If Director Huang wants my movie to stop [Pearl Harbor], then on such a thing I
There is no problem, but it must be kept secret."
Ye Ming did not say what kind of person this person was. This matter was also in line with Ye Ming's consistent style. He would not fight an uncertain battle, and if he took action, he would definitely use thunderous means.
Huang Jianxin glanced at Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang. It was obvious that it couldn't be these two, because these two were invited by Ye Ming by name. If it were the two of them, Ye Ming would not invite them.
After all, Zhang Yimou is a cunning old man. When he heard Ye Ming's words, he pondered for a moment and said, "If what I thought is correct, this person is Brother Chen Kai. If it's not him, there can't be someone else."
Others may not know much about Brother Chen Kai, but Zhang Yimou, as someone who has worked with Brother Chen Kai, knows about this person. He really has such a character. He is proud and looks down on others, and his relationship with Ye Ming
It is very bad. If this person is Brother Chen Kai, it would not be surprising at all.
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "It's not him. Although Director Chen Kaige is a little proud and looks down on others, it is precisely because of his pride that at this time he looks down on foreign film companies. In fact,
Even among the four major directors in Hollywood, apart from being stupid, there are a few people that director Chen Kaige can admire.
His pride is deep in his bones. He looks down on Hollywood film companies at all, but he looks down on them spiritually."
The traitor was not Brother Chen Kai, which surprised Zhang Yimou, but then Zhang Yimou thought for a moment and said: "That's right, Lao Chen is indeed very proud. He is so proud that no one can look down on him, otherwise he would not be so high-minded and reclusive.
Already."
Director Chen Kaige is indeed a bit reclusive in the industry, this is undeniable.
Feng Xiaogang said from the side: "Yi Zi, there are only four of us now, just say you are suspicious of someone. Are you still worried that a few of us will spread the word to you?"
It seems that there is really no need for this. Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is a strategy. You don't need to ask Director Feng, I won't tell you. This is a deeply hidden traitor who is well disguised."
,I will finally let him surface.
However, now, it is still in the confidentiality stage. I will complete the shooting of my movie as soon as possible. Then I will do post-production. At the last moment, I will change the release date of Thai Jon to Slumdog Millionaire, Thai Jon.
.It’s just a smoke bomb, it’s a movie I’m preparing for the New Year.”
This is a rhythm that wants to dig holes for everyone. Ye Ming just doesn't want to say who it is, and Huang Jianxin and the three of them have no choice.
At this moment, Zhang Yimou was also worried and said: "A very important part of a movie is publicity. If there is good publicity, then in such a situation, distribution will be of great help.
You changed it to [Slumdog Millionaire] at the last moment, will this have an impact on the box office of the movie?"
At first, everyone thought the movie was showing "囧囧", but in the end, Ye Ming was replaced by "Slumdog Millionaire", which was a risky thing in itself. At least Zhang Yimou thought it was a very risky thing.
Ye Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Director Zhang. The early stage hype for my movie [Slumdog Millionaire] was also very powerful. I mean, I didn't announce the screening date."
, this is a very anticipated movie, and I dare say that the quality of this movie will not disappoint everyone.
What's more, Huayi Brothers and New Film Alliance will help with the final promotion and distribution. Why am I worried about this?"
The New Film Alliance will definitely help. Ye Ming is one of the shareholders of the New Film Alliance. Moreover, Ye Ming's film is responsible for blocking a blockbuster movie like "Pearl Harbor". Therefore, in such a
Under such circumstances, people from the New Film Alliance will go out of their way to help.
As for the Huayi brothers, if they don't want to help, that's impossible, because they have promised Ye Ming that they will help. This is also what Ye Ming relies on.
In fact, Ye Ming's final reliance was not mentioned. Ye Ming ultimately relied on the Internet for movie promotion. This is Ye Ming's biggest advantage. Under such a situation, Ye Ming will reserve his efforts until the end.
Seeing Ye Ming's confident look, Huang Jianxin nodded and said, "As long as you are confident, otherwise, our Chinese film industry will be really embarrassed."
In fact, Ye Ming is indeed not the best choice. Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and even Chen Kai are better choices than Ye Ming. After all, Ye Ming is too young. In everyone's impression, young people are not reliable in doing things.
But now Ye Ming is indeed the only one of the four major directors who has a film. Therefore, at this time, we can only count on Ye Ming. When four of them are together, it is natural to have dinner.
It is impossible to eat and drink with public funds. The four directors are not short of money and will not make mistakes on this issue. This time it is Huang Jianxin who treats Ye Ming and three people to dinner. In fact, this kind of private dinner is the real deal.
A good opportunity to build relationships.
If you use public funds, others may not accept your favor, and they may say you are a **. But if you pay for it yourself, there is no need to worry.
Zhang Yimou seemed to have suddenly thought of something while eating and said: "Yi Zi, you just said that Spielberg's new movie [Minority Report] is about to start filming, right? Is there a specific time?"
This question should actually be asked by reporters. Reporters should be most concerned about such a thing, but they did not expect that Director Zhang Yimou would ask such a question at the dinner table.
Ye Ming said without thinking: "Two weeks, the specific time has been given over there. I will report to the crew in two weeks. Therefore, I am also very tight on time. Two weeks is the most I can do."
It’s hard to say whether I will be involved in the post-production after the filming of the film is completed.” The key is to see the time available to Spielberg’s crew. If there is time, Ye Ming naturally said that he would hope that he can participate in his own.
The film is in post-production.
This time it was not asked by a reporter. Therefore, there was no need for Ye Ming to lie on such a question, otherwise, it would be pretentious.
Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "Yi Zi, I have a suggestion. Of course it is an immature idea of mine. If you go to shoot, can you bring a few actors from the mainland with you?"
Ye Ming frowned and said, "This seems impossible. Let alone a Hollywood-like film crew, even our current mainland crew wants to rashly bring actors there. It's not an easy task."
Ah, Director Zhang, you should know this very well, there are rules in the industry."
This is indeed an industry rule and an unspoken rule. Generally, the director and producer wait for the actors to be determined. Once the actors are decided, they will not change actors casually unless there is something special. The larger the production, the more so.
It's impossible that Zhang Yimou didn't know this, but he still said it like this, which made Ye Ming very confused. If a new director made such a mistake, it might be excusable, for example
A new director like Xu Zheng.
But Zhang Yimou is not the case. He is a national teacher and an elite among those who stand at the top of the entertainment industry in China. He should not make such a low-level mistake in such a situation.
Huang Jianxin also took over and said: "Lao Zhang, this matter really makes Ye Ming a little embarrassed. It is difficult to bring actors in."
Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "With Director Huang, I don't mean to directly bring actors in. I know that in this big Hollywood production, there are so many actors who want to be in it. Therefore, our mainland directors are very lucky if they want to be in it."
Yes.
Besides, it is simply impossible to bring actors in directly. If you don’t bring actors in, but if you bring some assistants and managers, there is no problem. It even means that Ye Ming has to bring a translator.
, This is also understandable. Therefore, according to such a condition, Ye Ming can bring at least three to four people there. These three or four people are all accompanying staff. But they are indeed bringing our Chinese actors.
go.
I think it is very necessary for actors to broaden their horizons by taking everyone to experience how big Hollywood productions are shot. Moreover, how do top directors and top actors in Hollywood work? This is something that is very worth looking forward to. I think it is very possible to do this."
Film shooting in Hollywood is indeed a little different from that in China, but it is really not an easy thing to see how other people shoot. Not everyone is as capable as Cheng Long. Hollywood fights for one person's place for itself.
In China, it is said that the current actors in Hollywood are Cheng Long, Jet Li, and Zhou Runfa. The other people are really not enough. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
