When Tom Cruise saw that Spielberg seemed to have some opinions about Ye Ming, he smiled and said: "Director, you seem to have some opinions about Ye Ming, so why did you choose him? I want you to go."
If Hollywood were to find any star to play this role, no one would refuse.▲∴”
Spielberg thought for a while and said helplessly: "I hate him a little, but that's because he is a young man, a capable young man.
Once a young man has strength, he will inevitably have a proud mentality. I don't like this kind of person very much. But there is no way, we are all in the same company. Although this kid once rejected me, but now we
It is a brokerage company, both are owned by William Morris Brokerage Company, and I still have to compromise on some things."
Although Spielberg is already at the top of Hollywood, he still has to abide by the rules of the game. One of the rules of the game in Hollywood is that the characters in the movie should take more care of the stars of their own company.
If the company really can't find him, it's not too late to look for someone outside. It just so happens that Ye Ming is more suitable for a role like "Minority Report".
As the second person in the crew, it is obvious that Tom Cruise still has a lot of say in such a situation. At this moment, he said with a smile: "If the director is willing, he can arrange to do a scene opposite me. I
I will tell him what kind of acting skills make him a top star in Hollywood."
Teach Ye Ming a lesson, that was just Cruise's temporary game idea.
I don’t want to teach Ye Ming a lesson, it just depends on his mood or director Spielberg’s opinion.
Spielberg thought for a while and said helplessly: "I think this matter should be discussed in the long term, right? After all, you are from a company, and First International sent you out to bully him. It is true that I have seen his acting skills, and I also
It has to be good, but the fusion of styles is a big problem. The fusion of performance styles will be the key to the success or failure of the movie. If Ye Ming can do this, it will be considered good."
The crew resumed filming, and Spielberg once again entered a state of selfless work. For the crew, this may sometimes be a nightmare.
Once Spielberg enters a state of selfless shooting, he may not sleep for several days. The working method of genius is always different from others.
And in such a tense atmosphere, the crew was still able to proceed in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that Spielberg has great control over the entire crew.
Old Andre got out of the car with a smile and asked someone to put his luggage in the hotel. This was given by the crew. It was a three-star hotel. It couldn't be too high-end. Filming is not a tourist trip.
There are five-star hotels in Hollywood, but according to Ye Ming's status in Hollywood, he is not qualified to live in a five-star hotel in Hollywood.
Even though Ye Ming is a superstar in the Asia-Pacific region, when it comes to Hollywood, people in Hollywood know that Ye Ming only won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for a role.
Therefore, for Ye Ming in Hollywood, to be honest, everything is difficult at the beginning. Ye Ming has not taken this kind of differential treatment to heart. Just because Tom Cruise can have a five-star hotel, it does not mean that the crew members have such treatment.
.
Liangtang is a member of the 20 million-dollar salary club in Hollywood, so it is completely reasonable for him to live in a five-star hotel. Old Andre asked the hotel attendant to arrange Ye Ming's luggage into the room, and then quickly took him
Following Ye Ming, he rushed to the crew.
Old Andre is very familiar with him because he knows that the director has already started working at this time. If he arrives early, he may be able to help. The crew is very busy now. Seeing this situation, Old Andre
Andre greeted a staff member.
Then he rushed to the crew directly. Old Andre was indeed a veteran stage manager, and he solved some of the crew's problems in less than half an hour after returning.
Exception, old Andre has such a strong courage. He is not afraid of offending people.
Of course, if it was according to Spielberg's idea, let Ye Ming wait first. But in fact, what Ma Su saw was the pride of the crew. It seemed that only old Andre had nothing to do with Ye Ming.
The other crew members and actors actually don't have much respect for Ye Ming.
I don’t know if Hollywood will not easily cooperate with the Chinese. This is a different attempt. Ma Su saw this situation and said: "Boss, this is too bullying, boss, where are you going?"
It’s not a very good treatment. In Hollywood, I was actually taught a lesson by a production crew. What will the reporters say if word gets out?”
Xu Zheng also said helplessly: "Director, if this continues, the crew will completely isolate you. Are you looking down on us?"
These two people were very unhappy in their hearts.
Li Yapeng, on the other hand, is an honest man and a very good porter. He knows that he is here to learn, so he does not express his own opinions on the changes in external things at all.
Ye Ming waved his hands with a smile and said: "Quiet, everyone, please be quiet, we are just waiting. In Hollywood, if you want to stand out, have highlights and finally love, one is acting and the other is backing, although acting comes first in filming.
Yes, but in a situation like this, you must first show your own value, so that others can think highly of you.
At a time like this, the misunderstanding Westerners have about Chinese people may not necessarily be due to this crew.
I think Hollywood is basically like this." Ye Ming's view of Hollywood is very correct, and this is indeed a very good result.
Indeed, there are actually dozens of movies being shot in Hollywood every year. But basically every crew will discriminate against Orientals.
This was something Ye Ming could not have expected, and Ye Ming was also the one who had the means to completely change everything.
Acting skills, strength, and strong acting skills are the keys to true strength. And the background of strength is directly linked to Ye Ming's treatment.
This time, no one talked to Ye Ming, no matter whether Spielberg did it intentionally or not. But everyone finally had a new contact.
At this time, Li Yapeng just couldn't stand it.
The atmosphere in this crew is very tense, and Ye Ming seems to be a redundant person here. It is said that no one even offered to give Ye Ming makeup. I don’t know if this is intended to teach Ye Ming a lesson.
But Ye Ming seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai. Although Ma Su and Xu Zheng vowed to defend Ye Ming, they were just talking and had no good way to solve the problem.
Integration is not just about acting. The first thing that Asians have to do when they go to Hollywood to shoot movies is the integration of acting skills. Even habits must be integrated. Otherwise, the Asian will appear to be a little bit neglected in the crew.
Risk of isolation.
In fact, Ye Ming almost encountered such a thing, and the atmosphere on the set seemed even more weird.
The entire crew seemed very nervous. Because this time Spielberg entered a selfless working state. When he gave an order, the entire crew followed suit. This was the only center of the crew, even if it was
Tom Cruise doesn't dare to mess with Spielberg at this time.
But after Ye Ming came in, another center formed in the crew.
In fact, according to Ye Ming's reputation in the entertainment industry, he does not receive such treatment in Hollywood. The only explanation is that on such a problem. Because Spielberg attaches great importance to Ye Ming, the crew
People subconsciously think that since the director pays attention to Ye Ming, under such a situation, they must also pay attention to Ye Ming.
At least until Ye Ming really decides whether to stay in the crew, everyone's unhappiness will not be taken lightly. You can be indifferent to Ye Ming, but don't provoke Ye Ming. Therefore, in the crew now, it is the adult
Got two loyal ones.
After a set of shots, it was obvious that Liangtang's performance was very good. Spielberg is such a picky person. The special envoy nodded and said that this set of shots had passed. At this time, old Andre also reported it immediately.
Things to do yourself.
Ye Ming has already taken over, which naturally means that the director wants to see Ye Ming first and how to arrange Ye Ming. Only the director can make the decision.
Moreover, Andre Sr. also hopes that Spielberg will really take that seriously.
However, in fact, under such a situation, Spielberg waved his hand and said: "I understand, old Andre, let this matter go for now, we have to continue shooting today."
Because he has a good relationship with Spielberg, Old Andre had the courage to stand up and say at this time: "Director, I think it would be better for you to meet Ye Ming in such a matter.
I always feel that this person is a little special, a little different from the oriental actors I have seen?"
Spielberg was not angry, but looked at old Andre curiously and said: "You never like to intercede with other actors, but today you are making an exception. Tell me what you think?
"
Old Andre thought for a while and said: "I don't dare to say my opinion, I just say it's my own feeling.
I have seen more than one or two Eastern actors. Generally, they are very cautious after arriving in Hollywood, for fear of offending someone or breaking some rules.
This is the usual style of Oriental people. But Ye Ming is different. When Ye Ming came to Hollywood, he seemed as relaxed as returning to his own home. I talked with him in the car and even arranged for him to be placed in Samsung
Even in a hotel of this level, I couldn't see any fluctuations in his mood.
A young man actually has such an indifferent attitude. At least this is something that few other actors in the East have. So even for this reason, I think it would be better for the director to find an opportunity to meet Ye Ming.
.”
Old Andre's evaluation of Ye Ming is very high. Even some actors in Hollywood may not be able to express Ye Ming's relaxed expression when they join the crew directed by Spielberg.
Therefore, at this time, he also solemnly recommended Ye Ming.
Spielberg said with a smile: "Let's wait and see about this matter. Ye Ming is indeed not an ordinary person. His ability to achieve such results has a lot to do with his character.
If we meet him right away, it will be difficult to manage the crew in the future. Therefore, at this time, we have to let him wait to get rid of his temper. This way, it will be easier for everyone to work together in the future.
Somewhat. We cannot let Ye Ming know that we value him,"
This was something Spielberg had carefully considered. Although it was said that Ye Ming came to participate in the filming, it was somewhat Spielberg's original intention, which is difficult to say clearly.
Just talking about the integration of acting skills mentioned by Spielberg is not like welcoming Ye Ming to the crew. The so-called integration of acting skills is a professional term in film.
When explaining this term, the first thing to say is the cultural difference between the East and the West. Since the cultural difference between the East and the West is very large, under such a situation, the performance of the East and the West will also be different.
It's very big. Whether it's a big director, a fledgling director, or even some experienced viewers, they can easily tell this.
There is generally a big difference in the performance styles between Eastern and Western actors. So how can we make up for such a difference? This is a question of performance integration.
To be able to achieve performance fusion means to integrate your own acting style into the style of Hollywood actors.
If you can do this, you will be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood. If you cannot do this, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in Hollywood in the future. This is an actor's language barrier. After that, there is another big hurdle.
Therefore, Spielberg said that if Ye Ming said that he could not do this, he would be asked to pack up his bags and go home.
This is not to say that Spielberg is overbearing, but that in such a situation, Spielberg is responsible for the entire movie. He will not allow an actor whose performance style is different from that of the entire movie to appear in the camera. of.
This is especially important for some large-scale productions. Because it is a large-scale production, the investment is large and the risks are high, so no human errors are allowed to affect the quality of the film.
