Entertainment Empire System

But these are some disputes in the entertainment industry. Ye Ming is not the savior and cannot take care of everything. Is it true that there is no background behind the Fearless crew?

Ye Ming said helplessly: "Actually, this problem is also caused by the capital behind Fearless's crew. After all, if the movie makes Fearless's life experience more miserable, it will be more able to impress some people.

Sometimes, it is actually so helpless. Weak people are usually bullied in the entertainment industry. What's more, the descendants of Fearless Yuanjia are not from the entertainment industry at all? "

After saying these words, he did not continue to dwell on this topic. Instead, he turned around and said, "Sister Weiwei, what have you been busy with recently? In the entertainment news, there hasn't been much news about you these days."

Zhao Wei's works in the past two years are indeed lacking. It doesn’t mean that Zhao Wei is the kind of actor who definitely has no filming at this time.

After all, he is a big star. If he is in the TV industry, he is above the A-list. But even at this time, Zhao Wei has not proven that he can withstand the box office in movies.

Therefore, at this time, she cannot be regarded as top-notch in the entire entertainment industry. If any star wants to be recognized as a top star, he must prove himself at the box office of movies.

Superstars including Fat Jai, Wa Jai, Zhou Xingxing, Cheng Long, etc. have all proven themselves through movies.

For example, Uncle Ge and Aunt Gong Li in China are definitely top-notch celebrities.

Jiujiang Zhang, Zhao Wei and other four-year-old double ice. Except for Jiujiang Zhang Xun, who has made certain achievements in movies, none of these people can prove that they can withstand the box office of a movie.

Even for the International Chapter, my father and mother’s film was written by Zhang Yimou, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon was written by Lao Li Tou, and there were two superstars, Fa Ge and Yang Ziqiong.

As for Memoirs of a Geisha, what the hell is this? Not many people in China have read it.

Anyway, except for Brother Xun, Si Dan Shuang Bing is actually planning to prove himself in movies, but now there is no such result.

On the other hand, Brother Xun is now considered a top-notch star in the entertainment industry.

After all, if Love is recognized by a series of awards such as the Golden Statue and Golden Horse Awards, this is also a work that puts Brother Xun in a super first-line position.

As for Zhao Wei, it is definitely not that he has no filming, but there are not many years in which he can make a splash and have a sensational effect.

Zhao Wei didn't know if she heard something in her words, but she said generously: "What are you busy with? Just say that I have been making bad movies for the past two years. But there are still some debts of gratitude. It must be paid back.

Therefore, there is actually nothing too picky about the past two years. In the entertainment industry, people can't help themselves in the world.

I just finished filming "Thank You for Loving Me Once". Next, I have decided to make a movie about "Shanghai", which is a poker game. I don't know if this movie will be able to hit the film awards. I'll watch it. To put it bluntly, for a literary and artistic film, the box office can be said to be irrelevant. The box office of a literary and artistic film is not considered, but it may impact film awards. "

If Zhao Wei didn't mention a movie in Shanghai that night, Ye Ming would never think of it.

One is because this movie was so bad that Ye Ming didn't watch it at all. Not to mention that all the movies produced by Zhang Yibai are bad, but there are not many good ones, such as green tea, let alone the box office.

Except for the TV series that may be director Zhang Yibai's sudden inspiration to carry love to the end, the influence of any of his works can be said to be below the level.

I don’t know why, but Zhao Wei and Zhang Yibai have indeed collaborated once, and this is true for [Green Tea], and it is also true for [Night Shanghai].

When Ye Ming heard the name of this movie, he had to be stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to have thought of something and said: "Director Zhang Yibai's work, if my guess is correct, your movie should also be a human relationship movie. Bar?"

In fact, this movie is one of the cases where the movie failed miserably at the box office.

It is said that the investment was more than 40 million, but the final box office did not seem to exceed 10 million. Even if it exceeded, it was limited.

Anyway, Ye Ming didn't remember it very clearly, but it seemed that it didn't exceed 10 million.

Zhao Wei said helplessly at this time: "Yes, it is a love movie, right? In this circle, no one can avoid it.

However, I didn't watch this movie just for the box office. Apart from the favor, I actually watched it because it was a literary film, so it could potentially win film awards.

After all, I am not very short of money now, and I should have made a breakthrough in art. "

Ye Ming was not interested in knowing how Zhang Yibai made this movie. However, this movie was claimed to be an art film, but in fact it failed both artistically and at the box office.

Moreover, Lao Zhang is still a drug addict, which is no secret in the entertainment industry.

Later, Zhang Yibai was actually arrested for this, which was one of the more sensational scandals in the entertainment industry at the time.

And I believe that people who pay attention to the entertainment industry should know a rumor, that is, at this time, the reason why the movie "Green Tea" is named Green Tea is because there is a drug whose name seems to be called Green Tea.

Of course, this is hearsay and has not been officially verified, otherwise the police officer might have directly invited the crew to have tea.

Anyway, no matter how he said it, Ye Ming was quite speechless about this movie.

Therefore, Ye Ming hesitated before saying: "Sister Weiwei, if I tell you, if there is no important favor, then this movie can still be rejected, so just reject it.

You’re not short of money either, so why are you saying this? Is there a market for artistic films?

I think it's a little bit embarrassing to compete for any awards.

Although I have not read the book of the movie "Night in Shanghai" and I don't know what kind of story it is telling, but in the past two years, there is no market for literary and artistic films, and the box office will definitely not be there by then. It's so ideal. You should take it easy when it comes to movies. "

Ye Ming didn't directly say that this was a bad movie, but it was already quite good.

This is already considered as giving everyone face.

Because Ye Ming also knew very well that Zhang Yibai was actually a member of the princess's circle.

Because Director Zhang has a good relationship with Li Yapeng and others, speaking of it, if you speak too directly at this time, you will easily offend others. It is not too much to say that Zhang Yibai was covered by the princess.

After all, everyone is now considered a member of the capital circle.

Zhao Wei said helplessly: "I've already said it's a favor. If it's a favor, why is it so easy to turn it away? It's true that it's already agreed and it's not easy to turn it away.

But it doesn’t matter. If it doesn’t do well at the box office, there will be awards. There are gains and losses. "

Even in such a situation, Ye Ming did not say that the box office was not very good or anything. Regarding such a question, no matter how he said it, it was an incomprehensible answer.

Could it be that Ye Ming said that the box office of this movie in the first week was only 3 million, and the box office of the entire movie would not exceed 10 million?

Even if it is what Ye Ming said, someone must believe it at this time.

You haven't even seen the book of the movie, and you just say that the box office of this movie will not be as good as Fatal Attraction. This is definitely an offending rhythm.

And Ye Ming is not willing to offend others easily. Zhang Yibai didn't provoke him anyway, right? Moreover, he and Lao Zhang are also acquaintances. If they are acquaintances, it will be difficult for you to talk about some things.

Therefore, in this situation, Ye Ming vaguely reminded Zhao Wei, lest Zhao Wei regret it later.

Who knows, Zhao Wei actually said that he also recognized the importance of the poor box office. He indeed said that Zhao Wei is not short of money now, at least compared to ordinary people, Zhao Wei is indeed not short of money. Therefore, in If there is some pursuit of art, it is within reason.

Zhao Wei and Ye Ming can be regarded as starting from the same starting point. They basically came from Huanzhugege. Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming has been mixed up to the point where he is already mixed in the international community. Hollywood is in trouble, why do you think Zhao Weiqing is so embarrassed?

Moreover, in the eyes of Si Dan Shuang Bing, Shuang Bing is really not in Zhao Wei's eyes. Xiao Li and Xiao Fan are basically the same as the little girls in Si Dan's eyes, and they do not pose much of a threat.

But Brother Xun is the Golden Horse, the Academy Award and so on, so how embarrassing is this for Zhao Wei and others.

Therefore, under such circumstances, it is reasonable for Zhao Wei to want to prove himself in terms of awards.

However, at this time, what Ye Ming didn't expect was that the princess came out slowly, and then glanced at Li Yapeng and said: "Ye Zi, are you not optimistic about this movie? Why don't you be optimistic about this movie?" It’s a movie.”

Ye Ming immediately looked at the princess curiously and said: "Sister Fei, you have never been very involved in this matter. Why are you particularly concerned about this kind of movie? This is not in line with your style. It fits."

The princess is a diva-level singer, and she is already considered one of the pinnacles among Chinese singers in terms of singing.

Therefore, she actually didn't care much about movies. Even if she participated in movie shooting, it was just for fun.

Ye Ming had never heard that the princess would care about movies.

The princess said very casually: "Actually, this is nothing, I have no opinion on this movie.

I don’t have much interest, but isn’t Zhang Yibai considered a member of the circle?

Moreover, we are all friends, and I have heard a bit about his works. It is said that the book was produced after a period of hard work, and it was also very careful.

Moreover, there are shares invested by our family, Lao Li, in it, so I heard you say that you don't seem to be very optimistic about this movie, so I want to ask why.

Ye Zi, your vision in movies is quite good. "

Ye Ming was very surprised that Li Yapeng had invested in it. He had never heard that Li Yapeng had any investment in this movie.

At this time, when Ye Ming was curious, Li Yapeng immediately explained: "A small part of the investment is in it. I invested a small share in it through a friend's company. My share of the investment is relatively small, one-tenth. No, it’s just to support my friend’s work, and I also want to test the waters and see some ways to invest in movies.”

Ye Ming extended his thumbs up and said, "You're cruel, it's your first time investing, and you dare to directly invest in a literary film. You are indeed not ordinary courageous.

For example, in the entertainment industry, literary and artistic films are generally invested by wealthy people, such as the Tang family. They are not short of money, they just invest money. The box office does not have much impact on them.

In addition, those veteran investors will invest in literary films, and they must be strictly controlled from preparation to release, not to mention strict review of any script.

It's your first time investing in a literary film. You're not so powerful. "Li Yapeng couldn't help feeling nervous when he heard Ye Ming's comments.

Ye Ming is also very good in the field of investment. Basically, there are no examples of failure in the movies and TV series he invests in.

Therefore, people in the circle actually believed in Ye Ming's vision.

Therefore, Li Yapeng was actually quite nervous when he heard what Ye Ming said.

He immediately asked: "Isn't that the case? Director Zhang is quite talented. He has been polishing this script for a long time. You haven't seen the script, so you don't have a good opinion of this movie?"

In fact, what Li Yapeng meant was that he didn't think you had any say. This is a more euphemistic way of saying it.

Ye Ming immediately shook his head and said: "I haven't read the book, but I'm not targeting the book, I'm targeting the entire literary film market.

Especially the literary and artistic films produced in the Mainland. If you count them, how many of them have made money in recent years that were purely invested and shot by the Mainland? "

This is true. Art films purely invested and produced by mainlanders are indeed not very good.

In fact, even within the entire scope of Chinese-language movies, the box office performance of literary and artistic films is not very high. Even in the entire box office history of world movies, the box office performance of literary and artistic films is unsatisfactory.

People in the entertainment industry will understand this very well. But there are indeed some dark horses in literary and artistic films, but the number is very small.

Li Yapeng also knew this very well.
