[Minority Report] The crew is out on location, which is big news for reporters in the entertainment industry." In fact, any disturbance in the crew of [Minority Report] is very big news. The previous ones
The incident of Ye Ming being discriminated against was hyped by the media for more than two weeks. Later, Spielberg sent a lawyer's letter to the media, and Ye Ming's attitude towards such matters was that he firmly stood with the crew.
Here, therefore, this news will be ignored, and some subsequent things, even the treatment Ye Ming received on the crew, will become news material. And one of the foods Ye Ming likes to eat is pancake rolls.
Green onions, those pancakes are not something ordinary people can make. It can be said that even in Chinatown, Los Angeles, it is not easy to find authentic pancakes. In a situation like this, even
It is said that Ye Ming personally made pancake rolls with green onions. It is said that the leading actor Tom Cruise and the crew member Old Andre were invited by Ye Ming to have a meal once. They were full of praise for Ye Ming's craftsmanship and thought it was a great success.
Pancakes are much more delicious than pie and pizza, especially the oil and flour Ye Ming chose to use on them. It is said that the oil is refined from Chinese wild pork, and the flour is purely natural, without any chemical fertilizers.
Stone-milled flour on the plains. It is said that China has used stone mills to grind flour for two to three thousand years. God, the United States has only been founded for more than two hundred years. Now Ye Ming does not know where to grind a stone mill.
The flour made by grinding. The reporter of Hollywood Weekly said that this is a contempt for the American food culture. From the height of history, he despises the crude and ugly food culture of the United States. By the way, the reporter of Hollywood Weekly also wrote this
Brett, a reporter from this news, ate the pancakes made by Ye Ming with Tom Cruise and others. He also saw with his own eyes how the magical stone mill turned wheat into flour. Brett also specifically asked Ye Ming
Why not just bring the flour over directly? As a result, Ye Ming also ridiculed the US customs, saying that if you bring the flour directly, it will be tested according to the food. Food testing in the United States is very strict, and it may not be tested for at least a month.
Success, if Ye Ming wants to eat that flour, he may have to wait longer. By then, the crew may have finished. But wheat. That is, according to the seeds, the general test is not so strict, and it will be done in three or two days.
Passed the customs. Brett specifically teased the US Customs about this, thinking that they were idle bosses.
What surprised Bright was that Ye Ming was able to find a way to buy a stone mill. It was said that he got it from the flea market in Chinatown, and it was said that this stone mill was brought by Gu Hongming when he came to the United States.
Don't know if it's true or false.
Anyway, Bright finally said that the pancakes made by Ye Ming were the most delicious. He had never tasted such delicious food before.
It is said that director Spielberg also ate the pancakes made by Ye Ming, but the director did not admit it. God knows why he doesn't like to eat the box lunches of the crew recently.
Tom Cruise even said that Ye Ming’s pancake rolls with green onions and braised pork are a perfect match and so delicious.
Ye Ming later told Bright that this was just a small part of Chinese civilization, China on the tip of the tongue, enough to surprise any foreigner.
Of course, this is the most talked-about news that the crew has released recently. But now there is finally another big news that has overshadowed the news about pancake rolls with green onions.
At this time, the crew is about to go out on location. This is a rare opportunity to understand the filming situation of the crew.
Many reporters did not get the opportunity to interview the crew.
It would be very easy for a great director like Spielberg to say that he wanted to block the news, especially in such a situation where such racial discrimination happened on the set.
Therefore, Spielberg did not let a few reporters in for interviews, and the news about the crew that was known to the outside world was extremely ecstasy.
But it's different now. Now that the crew is going out on location, the opportunity for interviews comes.
In Hollywood, there is actually an unspoken rule. Generally speaking, directors will not restrict interviews with reporters when they go on location. Of course, reporters also have to abide by an unspoken rule, which means they cannot interfere with the crew.
Photography.
This is an unspoken rule that everyone understands.
Even Spielberg would not touch such an unspoken rule easily.
Regarding this matter, no matter how it is said, the whole thing has a tacit understanding that is hard to imagine.
The crew began to prepare, and the director was also thinking about how to end the location shooting as soon as possible.
Moreover, Old Andre also made a special trip to find Ye Ming. The purpose of looking for Ye Ming was to send him a message so that he could speak the same language as the crew during the interview.
This time out, it would be strange if no reporters asked about the racial discrimination incident last time. As one of the victims, Ye Ming must maintain a consistent tone with the crew.
Otherwise, in a situation like this, reporters would laugh at him, or even dig out hidden news. This was not something Spielberg saw, so he had to tell Ye Ming.
At this time, Li Yapeng said with some reluctance: "For you, Boss Ye, this is also a good hype opportunity. If you take advantage of this opportunity, you should build your reputation in Hollywood. In China,
That’s what a lot of people do.”
Ye Ming shook his head with a smile and said: "You also mentioned this matter. If it were in China, it might be a good opportunity for hype. But if it were true in the United States, then it would be
It can't be that simple.
At a time like this, we are on the same starting line as the crew, and our interests are the same. You said that I can gain popularity in Hollywood with the help of this hype.
But at that time, I was completely offended by Spielberg. Later, Fox was also offended by me.
That guy Diller will not easily let go of someone who offends him. Although I am not afraid of offending them, it will not do me any good to find two such big enemies for myself.
On the contrary, if in a true situation, I stand on their side, then at this time it is equivalent to saying that I owe them a favor.
At times like this, if I have any difficulties in the future, I can just use this favor to ask them to help me.
In foreign countries, it is actually a human society. Hello, I am hello, everyone is hello. This is the real Hollywood society. It hurts both sides and is not good for anyone."
In fact, at the beginning, Ye Ming leaked this matter about the crew.
It was also meant to cause trouble, but in the end I suppressed the thought in my mind.
Only by being able to directly suppress his personal preferences can he gain a foothold in Hollywood. Therefore, Li Yapeng's idea can be beneficial for a while, but in the long run, this matter is not worthwhile.
Because this matter is in Hollywood, and the situation in China is different, Li Yapeng is not wrong to have such an idea. The difference is that the results caused by different environments may be different.
Regarding such a matter, Li Yapeng just represents the thoughts of a considerable number of actors in China.
Therefore, Ye Ming didn't mean to blame him. They came out to learn, and being able to learn things was considered their ability. If they couldn't, then for such a thing, it would be like a trip to Los Angeles.
But just because Ye Ming didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that others didn't say anything. Ma Su said unhappily: "You're just a brain. We are in other people's territory, so naturally we can't be too arrogant. And look at it now,
Even if we go to the scene to watch other people filming, no one will stop us. Why is this?"
Li Yapeng wanted to say something. But in the end he didn't have the chance to say anything. Wang Baoqiang, who had always been an honest man, took over and said: "That's because our boss's status has been improved. We just came here a while ago and wanted to see others."
The acting was stopped and they didn't want us to watch it. Look at the look in their eyes. They looked down on us at all.
But now, not to mention that no one can stop us when we go to the theater. When someone from the production crew brings coffee or something, we are not missing a portion. Although I drink it, it is better to drink it coldly, but it is also from the production crew.
People value us.”
Ye Ming is a supporting role in the crew, but he is a supporting role that can conquer both director Spielberg and starring Tom Cruise. Therefore, Ye Ming's status in the crew has been greatly improved, and it is no longer the same.
No one dares to underestimate Ye Ming.
Moreover, in such a situation, Wang Baoqiang and the three people who followed Ye Ming also had their status greatly improved.
Hollywood is such a cruel place where the jungle prevails. If you say yes, yes, you will always be respected. If you say you have no ability, how will others respect you?
In fact, Li Yapeng also felt the respect he received from the crew these days. If it were not for Ye Ming's strong support behind him, then these Hollywood crew members would have their eyes high and would not treat them at all.
These three staff members keep it in mind.
Ma Su also nodded and said, "Yes, what are we doing here? Isn't it to open our eyes and see how they learn?"
Ye Ming also didn't want Li Yapeng to get more censure in this situation, because in such a situation, everything was related to the face of the princess and Na Ying.
Li Yapeng was introduced by the two princesses and Na Ying. If it is too ugly, the two queens have no place to put their face.
Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and said immediately: "That's right. The three of you came to the Hollywood crew for more than a day or two. In such a situation, tell yourselves how you feel.
So. What is the difference between the Hollywood crew and our Chinese crew?"
Ma Su thought for a moment and said immediately: "Strict, very strict. They are very professional in everything they do. They are the ones who make props, and they are the ones who manage lighting. They specialize in this field, and they are very good at this."
, unlike our crew over there, it is not impossible to use lighting to make props. I even went to a crew where the four departments of props, lighting, art, and drama management were all the same person. Such a crew
How can I make a good movie?"
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Absolutely. After all, Hollywood has been developing for almost a hundred years, so their expertise is very good.
Therefore, we really cannot compare with them on such a thing. On such a thing, it does not mean that our Chinese crew cannot make a good movie, if the crew can cope with it better.
For example, the sixth generation of film directors can indeed shoot good movies, but it is difficult to shoot classics. Classics not only mean that the movie must be good, but also must reach a very high level in all aspects.
This is considered a classic.
It is not easy for us in China to produce classics. However, we are making progress, and under such circumstances, we will always catch up one day."
Li Yapeng was the second one to say that Wang Baoqiang had no intention of competing, or that Wang Baoqiang had never thought about what he had learned when he came to the set.
Therefore, Li Yapeng thought for a while and said: "One thing I saw is that they usually have a strict crew before shooting. They have early plans for what to shoot today and what to shoot tomorrow. Therefore, they
The shooting speed will be very fast. But although our Chinese crew has a script, if it can really follow the script step by step, then in such a situation, it is indeed a bit impossible. "
It’s not that the domestic crew likes dramas as Li Yapeng said, but it’s that in terms of filming progress, China’s speed is indeed not as fast as that of Hollywood crews.
This point is actually true. Shooting some scenes in China will waste some time, and ordinary people will have a lot of opportunities.
Therefore, in such a situation, Li Yapeng felt that the efficiency of this minority report was very high.
If people in China can learn from this, it would be a pretty good result. At least for Li Yapeng, it is quite helpful. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for more novels. Good update faster!
