Entertainment Empire System

Sometimes, failure does not necessarily mean that you did not work hard, it may mean that your luck is not good enough. Sometimes, success doesn't necessarily mean how hard you work, it may be that you are lucky enough.

Li Ming is a very lucky person. He met a very good manager, Li Jin, because Li Jin helped manage everything. Therefore, he slowly gained the status of one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

This time, Ye Ming was invited to dinner, but he did not come. Although Li Ming is a representative from the mainland who came to Hong Kong to develop in Hong Kong, and the other one is Liang Chaowei's future daughter-in-law, Liu Jialing, these two are not in the same circle. Li Ming is an idol. Ye Ming is more of a powerful person, and he seems embarrassed when he comes.

And Chen Huilin is here. Although Chen Huilin is at the level, at least it may not be said to be at the level of Ye Ming, Andy Lau, and Liang Chaowei at this time, but because she is the heroine of the movie, she is special, and she comes to meet Ye Ming. When we meet, we just brush up on each other and try to make friends.

This was also arranged by Kelly Chen's agent. This is the result of having a good agent. An agent can help you organize everything from work to life.

There are very few opportunities to work with big names, and even less time to build relationships. If you can, it will be once more. At least we will meet each other in the future. We have collaborated on movies and had dinner together, so at least we can be regarded as acquaintances. The basis of conversation.

And Andy is here, but he didn’t come after two good times. Everyone in the entertainment circle in Hong Kong City seems to be well aware of this. Liu Weiqiang said with a smile: "Liang Chaowei was also coming today, but it turned out , some things were delayed, so I didn’t come. Otherwise, everyone would come to pick you up."

In fact, Liu Weiqiang did not need to explain such a problem, Ye Ming was also very clear about it.

If you want to find some famous enemies in the entertainment industry, then Fa Ge and Da Shu are considered a couple. At that time, Fa Ge and Da Shu were very good friends. As a result, Da Shu was obsessed with gambling and always looking for friends. Borrowing money, but in the end Fa Zai failed to lend it to Uncle Da, causing the two good friends to fall out.

Another pair of enemies are Andy Lau and Leung Chaowei. The TVB Five Tigers incident was a big deal back then. Liang Chaowei signed a contract with TVB, and was highly praised, but Andy didn't sign a contract with TVB, but was hidden. From then on, there has been such an unwritten rule in the world, unless there is really a job that cannot be shied away from, in private Inside, two people basically never appear in the same place at the same time.

People in the entertainment industry also know very well that if you invite Liang Chaowei, you will never invite Andy Lau, and if you invite Andy Lau, you will definitely not invite Liang Chaowei. This time was no exception. It was inevitable that Andy would come, so Liang Chaowei just avoided it and did not come.

Another person who came here was also an acquaintance of Ye Ming, Chen Daomin. Teacher Chen had made a transition this time, and wanted to try more roles, so he came.

Chen Daomin, who is also a mainland actor, naturally had to welcome Ye Ming when he arrived.

Liu Weiqiang invited Ye Ming to sit down and introduced everyone. In fact, no introduction was needed. Everyone was familiar with each other, but basic courtesy was still there. Chen Huilin seemed more reserved, a little nervous, and spoke very little.

This is also determined by status. Although Chen Huilin is a first-line celebrity now, facing these people here, that is to say, Liu Weiqiang is on the same level as him. The rest are all more famous than Chen Huilin, and their acting skills are also better than Chen Huilin. Much higher.

Therefore, the aura of these four people suppressed Chen Huilin's reticence and speechlessness. Therefore, Chen Huilin spoke very little. Generally, she would answer cautiously when someone asked something.

This is actually the way to survive in the entertainment industry. Say more and you will be wrong. Say less and you will be wrong. If you don't say it, it is good. When facing an artist who is higher than you, the best way is to just shut up and say nothing, or It’s about saying less.

Everyone chatted for a while, but the food hadn't been served yet, but they immediately moved the topic to the movie. Today at the party, one of us is actually here to help Ye Ming clean up the dust, and the other one is to talk about the third part of Infernal Affairs. Movies, these two topics can be said to be equally important.

Therefore, starting to talk about the script directly at this time is also a situation that everyone here hopes to see.

Andy first said: "Ye Ming, I don't need to tell you about your role. I will go back and send you the lines for one night. Do you have any questions?"

This is a question that tests the ability of an artist. Does it mean that he can have a very important understanding of a character in a short period of time?

Ye Ming nodded and said: "No problem. I have figured out the role of Chen Yongren very thoroughly. If you give me a rough plot, there will be no problem. But what kind of role will Liang Chaowei play when he comes? How to connect it with the previous content.”

Because Ye Ming played a role like Chen Yongren, he had already done a lot of understanding in the first film. Therefore, in such a situation, there is no problem in direct performance. Besides, the actor's ability In other words, you can quickly get into the character.

Many actors say that acting requires accumulation and understanding of the role, but there is a group of people in the entertainment industry who have a very high ability to understand the role. These people are the best actors and actresses, or geniuses. For example, Shirley Temple, a child star, how much understanding of the role she has, but she has acted in many classic movies, is a genius level. Another example is Jackson's understanding of music, which is also a genius level.

Although Ye Ming is not the top genius, he is at least one with very high understanding and is at the level of an actor.

Therefore, not only for the roles he has performed, but also for his new roles, he can actually quickly understand them. Andy has no doubt about this. If an actor of Ye Ming's level cannot do this, it is almost impossible. Therefore, he nodded without any doubts about Ye Ming's words.

Regarding Ye Ming's second question, Liu Weiqiang immediately said: "This matter is actually very simple. This is to arrange that you and Liang Chaowei are brothers. After your incident came up, your brother Liang, who was originally abroad, Chao Wei will appear to avenge you and come back to participate in this matter."

Anyway, this matter is very common in the entertainment industry, especially in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. For example, when filming Genesis, Chen Huishan's role was very important. As a result, half of the filming was about her hands. Chen Huishan had some physical problems. It was not necessary at all. To be able to persist, the editor had to let Chen Huishan die in the TV series, and then resurrect another character in the form of a twin sister, and then insisted on completing the filming of Genesis.

This matter is basically something that Hong Kong screenwriters are familiar with.

Chen Daomin took over the topic and said: "What is Ye Ming's opinion of your character? Your character and I have some overlap, so I would like to know your understanding of this character."

This intersection is just an overlapping of identities. Both of them are on the right track. It does not mean that Chen Daomin really has any rivalry with Ye Ming. Chen Daomin plays a gangster, Shen Cheng, the eldest brother from the mainland who comes to Hong Kong to develop. His relationship with Han Chen is cooperation and hostility.

He is also a very important negative character in it. Although Ye Ming plays an undercover agent in it, no matter how you say it, he is still an undercover agent, a gangster, right?

Ye Ming said with a smile: "My character in it can be summed up in one sentence: looking up to heaven in hell."

This sentence tells a very insightful story about Chen Yongren's life. Director Liu Weiqiang immediately said: "This is a good explanation, this explanation is good. I think this sentence can be put back into Chen Yongren's inner monologue, and I will talk to Lao Mai later." Let’s discuss it and see how we can add a line like this.”

Ye Ming nodded and said: "This is Chen Yongren's inner world. He is constantly struggling, constantly destroying his beliefs, and constantly living in light and darkness. Otherwise, he would not go to a psychiatrist.

Mr. Chen, how do you view your role? Ms. Chen should read more of your books on this aspect. I think it’s best to find a professional psychologist abroad for counseling. To be honest, at this time, there is actually a considerable gap between the psychiatrists in our country and the real psychiatrists. "

Foreign psychiatrists are a very high-end profession. It is not a problem to pay a few hundred yuan an hour, and it is not impossible to pay a thousand yuan an hour. therefore. Being a psychiatrist is a profession with a very high threshold. They are considered part of the elite of upper class society.

But in China, there are only a few real professional psychiatrists, so it’s hard to say. A psychiatrist does not have a diploma to be considered a psychiatrist. Therefore, when it comes to such a problem, foreign psychiatrists are more professional.

This is not because Ye Ming looks down on mainland psychiatrists, but because he respects movies and the audience. If you want to find a teacher, you must find a real professional teacher and don't fool people.

Chen Yongren is a very struggling character. Anyone who has watched Infernal Affairs knows very well how complicated the inner world of such a person is.

The role played by Chen Huilin can be said to have the most contact with Chen Yongren, and it requires professional knowledge. Therefore, on such a problem, no matter how it is said, Ye Ming is also the one Xu hopes Chen Hui Lin behaved more professionally.

Moreover, at this time, everyone was discussing the plot and so on, which was very exciting, but Chen Huilin basically couldn't get a word in. Ye Ming was sure that if they wanted to get excited, Chen Huilin might not be able to say a word for two or three hours.

But this is just not gentlemanly enough.

After all, Kelly Chen is the only one here, and the other two, Liu Jialing and Zheng Xiuwen, are not here. Chen Huilin suddenly felt blessed this time, and immediately said in a joking tone: "This suggestion is indeed good. Mr. Ye often goes to the United States. I wonder if there are professionals you know who can introduce one to me, otherwise I am afraid to go find it myself." It’s not impossible to encounter a rogue intermediary.”

Ye Ming laughed loudly and said: "It seems that Miss Chen and Teacher Daomin have learned a lot. They all know the term "black agency", which is awesome. Are the black agencies in Hong Kong City also very rampant?"

There are also black agents in Hong Kong City, and they are very professional.

Chen Huilin has really never encountered a similar situation. Liu Weiqiang has encountered it. He took over and said: "The gangster agencies in Hong Kong City generally have gang backgrounds. They are very professional and trustworthy. , as long as you abide by the rules and give enough money, it is even said to be more credible than the regular ones."

What matters to those who work on the road? What matters is a question of credit. Therefore, in Hong Kong City, rogue intermediaries are generally very reputable. If you give them money and get things done, there is usually no big problem.

Andy smiled and said, "Well, Ye Ming, please introduce a professional in this field. It will also be helpful for me to face the movie."

Ye Ming nodded and said, "No problem. I will go to Hollywood later and ask Sister Fang to introduce a professional to Kelly."

Kelly Chen's English name is Kelly, and people who are basically familiar with her should know it quite well.

This time Chen Huilin came here, it was an unexpected gain.

After all, she herself never thought of finding a professional to tutor her in professional knowledge during the performance. Now with the tutoring from this professional, I believe Chen Huilin will be more at ease when performing. And at this time, it was also a closer relationship with Ye Ming. After all, we had cooperated and interacted with each other. If we contacted each other in the future, it would not be very embarrassing. Relationships in the entertainment industry are actually accumulated bit by bit through persistence.

At this time, eating at the dinner table is one thing, but it is more about discussing issues with each other, and the discussions are even more intense during the meal.

Except for Chen Huilin, everyone here is an experienced actor. Therefore, especially the professional discussion, it is more profound, such as some acting skills, some integration of heart and environment, and the plot. Fusion, how to make a character shine as brightly as it should, these are the key points discussed by Ye Ming and others.

As for Chen Huilin, what she is doing now is studying, studying hard, no matter how she talks, and learning all the performance skills. One of the reasons she came here was to build relationships, which she accomplished, and the other purpose was to learn. At this time, she was doing it, learning some of the skills and experience of Ye Ming and others in performance. These are things that are worth a million dollars.

Ordinary actors don't have this opportunity to learn. (To be continued)
