Diller also hesitated a little and said: "It's better for me to handle this matter. After all, you plotted against Ye Ming. Ye Ming must know about it now. He definitely can't be as easy to fool as reporters. You plotted against him."
It is a fact, so I will test his tone first, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation."
Spielberg is also very helpless. As the most successful commercial film director in Hollywood, Spielberg has always been willing to take advantage of the wind and rain. Even a superstar like Tom Cruise still has to take care of himself.
Respectfully, but Ye Ming is just a Chinese star, not even a second-rate star in Hollywood, but he is so troublesome.
This made Spielberg very angry. On such an issue, he insisted on his position and said: "If it really doesn't work, then change people. There is no need to compromise on this matter."
If a director cannot control the actors in his own crew, this is a very scary thing for the director.
When he first became a director, Spielberg was not as famous as he is now. At that time, when he was making movies, he acted based on the expressions of other superstars, pretending to be a grandson, and begging others in a low voice.
It is impossible for a successful Spielberg to allow his crew to have an actor whom he does not control.
Ye Ming was such an unstable factor, so he thought about replacing him. At this time, Diller shook his head and said with a regretful expression: "It's a pity that this method cannot be used in the short term.
.
Ye Ming is not an ordinary actor. We are suspected of racial discrimination against Ye Ming. If we say that he was fired because of this matter, let alone Ye Ming himself, the Actors Guild will definitely file a lawsuit with you. What are you doing?
Do you know Chiguoguo's racial discrimination? Mr. Murdoch does not want something like this to happen to affect his plans.
Therefore, don’t do this in the short term, I can’t bear this responsibility.”
Spielberg said very firmly: "If it really doesn't work, I will bear the responsibility. I will be responsible for compensating for all losses, but I cannot allow the crew to have actors that I cannot control."
They would rather lose money than keep Ye Ming. This shows that Spielberg's impression of Ye Ming is not generally bad.
At least this is unknown for now. As a Jew, not only does he have the means to manage money, but he also has a very strong sense of rights sometimes.
On the set, Spielberg is a God-like existence. He does not allow anyone to challenge his authority. Diller took out a cigar. Smoking is generally not allowed in the ward, but Diller has a habit. Once something is difficult to decide
When he was young, he liked to smoke a Havana cigar to refresh himself and clear his thoughts.
Obviously, Spielberg was very aware of Diller's habits, and he did not stop Diller's actions.
At this time, Shiba hesitated for a moment before saying: "It is not easy to capture Ye Ming. If it were so easy to do, Mr. Murdoch would not call me specifically.
In other words, it is easy to take down Ye Ming. If you can bear this responsibility, there will be no problem. I can also bear this responsibility, but I am just a star in China. I am considered second-rate in Hollywood. Even if I say, I can bear this responsibility.
A third-rate star.
However, after taking down Ye Ming, what will happen is beyond your control. If Ye Ming is allowed to stand in front, even if Soros wants to take action, then in such a situation, he can only
He took action behind the scenes, but if you take down Ye Ming, Soros will directly stand at the front desk. Are you willing to face such a capital tycoon?"
Soros, the capital tycoon on Wall Street, is the top capital tycoon. No one is willing to face such a person directly.
Just like what Diller said. There is no problem in taking down Ye Ming, but taking down Ye Ming not only cannot solve the problem, but also means that on such a problem, after Ye Ming is taken down, it will cause
This is indeed something that Diller and Spielberg are unwilling to face.
Even in such a situation, Murdoch, the man behind the scenes, is unwilling to face Soros directly.
Therefore, Spielberg thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's see what Ye Ming thinks first and compromise. Just say that I will add scenes for him. I hope he can help us settle this matter. Just say
That croton powder is regarded by Jack and others as a Chinese condiment.
After all, China’s seasonings are all kinds of things, and people in China may not understand them all. It’s normal for an American to not know them. In this way, there is an explanation for reporters and the audience.”
This is the tone set by Spielberg.
Since it was said that Ye Ming could not be taken down, a direct compromise was normal. Therefore, Diller nodded, smoked a cigar, and left in a puff of purple smoke.
This guy didn't leave the hospital at all and went directly to find Ye Ming. After all, it would be very beneficial to everyone to be able to calm down such a matter as soon as possible.
This time, Ye Ming was lying on the bed reading the newspaper. Although there was a violent storm outside, it did not touch Ye Ming at all. This incident was just the beginning. Many people did not jump out, at least the development of the whole incident.
, Ye Ming seems to have not reached the end. If Spielberg asked Tom Cruise to directly use his acting skills to suppress Ye Ming, then Ye Ming really has nothing to say.
Liangtang's acting skills are indeed very good. A superstar in the 20 million salary club must have his own unique acting skills.
This kind of acting is in a class of its own. For example, Hepburn's innocence, Bergman's indifference, Parker's elegance, and Chaplin's sarcasm. Yes, Chaplin's performance trait is sarcasm.
These are the unique performance characteristics of a superstar. Only when a superstar develops his or her own unique performance characteristics can he truly perform a role that is passed down from generation to generation.
Tom Cruise's performance is cool, not Parker's elegance, but a bit of a ruffian's coolness.
The roles played by Liangtang generally have little to do with elegance, but they have the same cool characteristics. This can be seen from Minority Report and the Mission: Impossible series.
Although Ye Ming's acting skills are excellent, to be honest, he has not developed his own acting characteristics. This is the reason why Tom Cruise can suppress Ye Ming in terms of acting skills.
If Spielberg had used such an upright method, Ye Ming would not have been so angry, nor would he have made the matter so direct.
However, in such a situation, Spielberg is also a Jew, and Jews have also suffered racial discrimination in the United States, but Spielberg just said to use such a method to deal with Ye Ming, which is a bit of a scar.
Forgot about the pain.
This was a key reason why Ye Ming wanted to make the matter bigger. At this time, Diller walked in, a very graceful old man. He quickly smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Ye Ming, please introduce me.
, I am Diller, the president of Fox Corporation.
That’s how China calls its friends. I also have some friends in China. I heard that they all like to call each other that way.” Diller, the boss of Twenty-First Century Fox, appeared, and it seemed that something like this had changed.
It's getting more and more interesting.
Ye Ming naturally stood up immediately and said, "Hello, Mr. Diller, your understanding of China is beyond my expectation."
Diller nodded and said: "Fox actually wants to develop in China, but the action is relatively slow. But I think this matter should change in the next few years. Today, I just hope
Everyone has a unified view on this matter.
Of course, I deeply regret the scum of the crew like Jeffrey. This does not represent the position of the crew, let alone the position of our Fox company. I will deal with this matter seriously. But this crew cannot
If the delay continues, the current entertainment trend will be very unfavorable to the crew. Mr. Ye Ming must have seen those newspapers, right?"
Ye Ming nodded and told the truth. The reaction of the American media was indeed beyond Ye Ming's expectation. Under such a situation, he did not expect that those reporters were really worried about the world being in chaos and seemed to want to attack Spielberg.
What a deadly attack.
Ye Ming nodded and said: "This is natural. As an actor, naturally he doesn't want his crew to be in so much trouble, but I think this matter is not aimless. Those reporters don't dare to write random news.
Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait to receive the lawyer’s letter, right?”
Diller did not deny this matter, nodded and said: "That's right, but they are a small number of people. We need to have a unified voice. Director Spielberg has already dealt with the relevant people, and the director has said that he will take care of your scenes."
There will be adjustments to try to give you more opportunities to perform so that you can give full play to your acting skills.
But we all hope that the croton powder was just an accident when the cook who ordered the lunch box for our crew mistook it for your Chinese condiment. Of course, we will severely punish those involved, but we hope that when facing the media,
Everyone in the crew should act like a family."
Ye Ming thought for a while, this was Spielberg's compromise. Soros was too quick to act, right?
Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "The opportunities for being on camera are all set, there is no need to adjust this. I think I still don't bother to use this kind of opportunity to prove myself." Ye Ming's answer made Diller very angry.
Unexpectedly, could it be that Ye Ming wanted to continue on the same path until it was dark?
Diller was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. Ye Ming, what you do is very detrimental to you and the crew. As an actor, you should know that acting is the biggest thing. The drama is as big as the sky. If you don't nod
If you agree, then I think there is a possibility that the production team will be shut down. I think you don’t want to see such a thing, right?"
If Ye Ming said that he would not compromise, this matter would really mean that it would be impossible to end it so easily for a while. Perhaps the suspension of Minority Report is the most likely result.
Ye Ming shook his head and said: "Mr. Diller must have misunderstood this matter. As an actor, I obviously don't want to take advantage of the situation and increase my role. An actor in China once said that there are only small actors, not small actors."
Role. Since my role has been decided, I will not ask for changes casually.
As for everyone answering reporters' questions in a unified manner, I think there is no problem with this. I also hope that the crew can resume filming as soon as possible. If you need to face reporters when, just inform me and I will discuss it with the director.
I faced reporters with other actors. But I don’t want something like this to happen again. This is my only request.”
To be honest, Ye Ming's request is not excessive at all. It is a very reasonable request for an actor.
Diller's request to Ye Ming was very unexpected. In Diller's view, Ye Ming should have taken this opportunity to make more demands, but Ye Ming did not do so.
Not only was Diller very surprised by such a thing, but Spielberg was also very surprised by such a question. He nodded in shock and said: "Only
There are no small roles for small actors. This is such a philosophical statement. Only actors with such a mentality can have the hope of becoming a superstar. I originally scolded me and thought that this matter might be leaked by Ye Ming himself.
Well, it seems like it’s not him, it’s Jeffrey, this guy is too idiotic.”
Diller also said with a smile: "When I heard this answer, I also thought it was not Ye Ming. He didn't have the time. You have to know that he just arrived in Hollywood. He even said he didn't know who was responsible for ordering lunch for your crew.
, if Ye Ming can do this in such a short period of time, then he is not an actor, but the President of the United States.
Or only the President of the United States can figure out the things about your crew in such a short period of time. By the way, Ye Ming compromised, but I don’t want something like this to happen again next time. Otherwise, don’t
Even if I am unhappy, Mr. Murdoch will be unhappy as well, and when the time comes, both of us will be in trouble."
If Murdoch is unhappy, Spielberg will be unlucky. This is almost certain. He has never doubted what will happen to him if Murdoch is unhappy.
Therefore, Spielberg said without thinking: "Don't worry, this time it was just an accident. This kind of thing won't happen next time.

The following content is free
Several readers have said that this is not written by the studio. Please explain. It seems that I feel a little ashamed. Is it still written by the studio with this amount of updates?
It’s more than three million words, and there are too many stories. The outline is indeed a bit simpler, and I have forgotten some of them. Many of them are kept in my mind, and sometimes there are inconsistencies, but I think they should not be counted.
Probably more, after all, I am quite familiar with the entertainment industry.
Generally, they are based on reality. Although they cannot completely describe reality, they are based on reality after all.
For example, Fox's full name should be 21st Century Fox, and their boss is indeed named Diller. For example, Murdoch did acquire Hughes Electronics in 2001. This all happened in reality.
For Hollywood content, try to give a detailed outline.
As for the contradiction, everyone focuses on Wang Jinghua, a senior in the entertainment industry and a very capable agent.
People with means usually deal with the problem rather than the person. If they have interests, they can cooperate with Ye Ming. But if Ye Ming's status threatens her as an artist, she will stand up like a child. In fact, Sister Hua herself is like this
As for her personality, anyone who has been in contact with her can feel that she is domineering, protective, and a tomboy. (To be continued)
