Entertainment Empire System

Zhang Yimou sent a car to pick up Ye Ming, which was a sign of respect for Ye Ming.

Actually speaking, when it comes to treating guests, there is also a lot of knowledge in China. Even if they are business partners, the relationship is very good, but generally treating guests is done in the hotel.

This is business as business, friends as friends.

However, if a person is willing to invite you to their home as a guest, then one thing is that the relationship between the two people must be close to a very high level, so that they would invite the other person to their home for dinner. of.

And Ye Ming was invited to his home for dinner by Zhang Yimou. For this banquet, Zhang Yimou even asked his friends to find two chefs to work at his home.

At the level of his wife, the best she can do is to make food for herself, not a family.

But if it is used to entertain guests, then it is difficult to say what it is like.

Therefore, it is quite necessary to invite two chefs.

At this time, Ye Ming rang the doorbell and Zhang Yimou opened the door. The smiling shoehorn said with a happy expression on his face: "Ye Ming is here, come in quickly, come in quickly, we are waiting for you."

Of course, Ye Ming didn't come empty-handed. He went to someone else's house to be a guest. At this time, it was not polite to be empty-handed. Therefore, he also brought a longevity lock to each of Zhang Yimou's three children.

After coming in, I changed my shoes and slowly followed Zhang Yimou into the living room. At this time, a beautiful mature woman stood up with a slight smile.

She is very beautiful, but from her eyebrows, she can also see that she is somewhat similar to Gong Li. If Zhang Yimou did this unintentionally, no one would believe it.

It must be intentional. People who have seen Chen Ting actually understand this very well. She looks very much like the woman Gong Li. And those born in the 1980s.

Xianza is twenty-five years old, the time when he is in his prime.

It can also be seen from this lady that Zhang Yimou actually has a special feeling for Gong Li. In other words, in Zhang Yimou's aesthetic concept, Gong Li has a beautiful appearance that reflects Eastern intellectual beauty. Women are called beautiful women.

Zhang Yimou immediately introduced: "Chen Ting, this is our alumnus, Ye Ming, you can also say that he is your senior brother.

Ye Ming, this is Chen Ting, who studies dance in our film school, and is our junior sister. We are not all outsiders, so why don’t we sit down together?

You're welcome, it's just like arriving at your own home. "Zhang Yimou said that he was very enthusiastic, but Chen Ting did show a bit of restraint. This is his senior brother, but he is about the same age as himself.

But her husband is almost thirty years older than her. After letting her schoolmates know, Chen Ting does feel a little uneasy now.

Would Ye Ming laugh at this kind of thing? If Ye Ming laughed at her, or even said that he would reveal the news to the media, then the trouble caused by this matter would be difficult to make up for. Zhang Yimou said that Ye Ming is trustworthy, but he knows people but not their hearts. At this time, it is difficult to say clearly whether Ye Ming said he would truly keep secrets.

Although Chen Ting is not considered to be in the entertainment industry now, her husband is a big director in the entertainment industry. Naturally, her connection with the entertainment industry will not be truly severed.

There are many people in the entertainment industry who are willing to do anything for their own benefit. For some people, they are not ashamed but proud of doing so.

Therefore, Chen Ting actually felt quite awkward at the moment.

Ye Ming didn't seem to notice the money situation, and then he took out a box from his pocket and gave it to Zhang Yimou and said: "Director Zhang, there are three gold locks here, one is for your little daughter, and the rest are The two are just for your two sons, and they are considered as a meeting gift."

Zhang Yimou was also very surprised by the gift that Ye Ming sent to Zhang Yimou. For example, if Ye Ming came to his home for a private banquet, he would definitely bring some gifts, projects, fruits, etc.

But coming with three golden locks, this was the first time Zhang Yimou had heard of it. And no other gifts could be seen from his whole body.

However, these three longevity locks also made Zhang Yimou feel very happy from the inside. Chen Ting was naturally surprised. People said that Ye Ming had a character that would retaliate for flaws.

Therefore, at this time, she was somewhat borrowing from Ye Ming. Zhang Yimou did not pick it up immediately. As a great director, he would not do that.

However, at this time, Zhang Yimou glanced at Chen Ting and said: "Okay, don't be stunned, let's move on. Ye Ming is not an outsider anyway, so it is natural to bring some gifts to the children."

Chen Ting took it very solemnly at this time and said: "Then I'm not welcome.

Thank you Mr. Ye for the gift. "Then, the nanny took out the little girl.

Since he invited Ye Ming over in the name of his little daughter, for a matter like this, he would naturally have to do enough foreplay.

Ye Ming saw that this little girl was very cute, which showed that her appearance was inherited from his mother.

If she inherits Zhang Yimou's appearance, then this little girl will have to go through a lot of trouble if she wants to get married in the future.

Not everyone has Zhang Yimou's artistic talent.

The next step was to eat, and the chef we invited was actually quite capable. Before long, a table of wine and food had been placed.

Chen Ting did not come over to have dinner with him, which Ye Ming did not express any dissatisfaction with.

And this actually doesn’t mean how sophisticated it is.

It’s not like Zhang Yimou has any old-fashioned vision of favoring boys over girls.

But Chen Ting has just passed the full moon and has not been weaned yet. Moreover, even if he is weaned in the future, he will drink as little as possible. Therefore, Chen Ting has his own confinement meal.

Originally, it was not necessary to eat after the full moon, but the doctor checked and found that Chen Ting already had three children, and his body was a little short. Therefore, it was recommended to continue to eat confinement meals for a month.

Therefore, until now, Chen Ting is eating his own fixed confinement meal, which is not cheaper than their banquet.

But it's good this way. Zhang Yimou and Ye Ming can talk more freely while drinking.

After three glasses of wine, Zhang Yimou said: "Mr. Ye, I have a question I would like to ask you. How did you feel about my movie "The City of Gold"?

When it was screened, the response was not overwhelming.

Just watch this movie based on the content of some fragments that you know. "Although Ye Ming has never seen the movie "The Golden Armor", he should be relatively familiar with this movie.

At least the trailer is no longer just a clip.

Ye Ming pondered for a while before saying: "I haven't watched this movie in detail, so I have nothing to criticize about the whole movie. The lighting is handled quite well, and the color matching, directed by Zhang, is top-notch in the country. Even in this world, he is at the master level.”

In terms of evaluation, it is actually possible to achieve this step. Because you haven't really seen this movie completely, therefore, you can only evaluate what you have seen.

To be honest, Director Zhang is a photographer, so he does a pretty good job in terms of lens feel and color control.

As an insider, Ye Ming abides by this kind of rule. It is best not to judge a movie that you have not seen with your own eyes. Even top directors like Spielberg and Coppola will not judge it casually. To evaluate a movie that you have not seen, even if it is an underground movie, is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry that few people will break.

Zhang Yimou gave Ye Ming the storybook of "The Golden Armor in the City". At this time, Ye Ming watched it for five or six minutes, and then said: "If you look at the content of the first half hour of the movie, this movie can be said to be This is the least convincing story of yours, so don’t have any illusions about the box office or anything like that. And, to be honest from an artistic point of view, I didn’t see anything too amazing.”

Lens restoration is a very advanced technique.

A good director, with a storyboard, can directly restore the movie in his mind.

Or usually a director reduces the script to a shot script, and then uses the shot script to shoot the movie.

Therefore, before a movie is released, the shot book is very important.

Of course, Zhang Yimou believed that if this shot book was actually shown to Ye Ming, it would not be a big deal.

Therefore, when faced with a question like this, he directly took out a notebook of scenes.

In fact, it would be best to ask Ye Ming to watch the final version of the movie.

But because of the relationship between Ye Ming and Zhang Weiping, it might not be possible to see it in the past.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yimou gave Ye Ming a copy of the shot.

Ye Ming just decomposed about half an hour of footage and knew the general outline of the movie.

In fact, he doesn't need to be so busy, because in his previous life, the city was full of busty girls. This is a movie that Ye Minglu has watched several times.

Of course, in order to show that he was serious, he still read the script of the first half hour of the scene, and then said something like this.

Because if you do it this way, it won't look shocking.

After all, with a good movie splitting script, even a rookie director can shoot a movie. The key is to see what the result will be.

Films shot by a director of Zhang Yimou's level are naturally very different from those shot by ordinary rookie directors.

Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "As far as you are concerned, this book is already done very well.

But as an audience who has watched some of the content, this is not a qualified movie.

Of course, this is what I said myself. Director Zhang will forgive me if I offend you in any way. "

Zhang Yimou was not angry. He could support hundreds of people with the same amount of money, and even he himself could not directly turn against him.

Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, there are actually some things that he doesn't mind saying: "It doesn't matter, I can't satisfy all the viewers.

The same goes for you, I can't possibly satisfy you with all my works, right?

But if you say it’s not very good, what’s so bad about it? "

Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "Thunderstorm" is a top-notch drama, but it is definitely not a top-notch movie script. In Hong Kong in 1996, a director named Huang filmed "Thunderstorm" and the box office was less than 170,000. I'm home from the street.

Thunderstorm is not suitable for adapting into a movie, not to mention that you are going back in time and changing it, adapting a period drama into a drama about ancient palace battles. If you want to film this aspect, you can watch The Legend of Zhen Huan, that is the real drama of palace fighting.

Moreover, Prince Jie is indeed quite abrupt, as if he was forced on. This dilutes Fa Ge's existence. This can be regarded as a small failure. "

Ye Ming actually had no mercy on this kind of thing, so he expressed his feelings directly.

At this point, Zhang Yimou hesitated and said: "Sometimes I can't help myself. I don't necessarily like shooting this movie, but with the capital operation reaching this point, it would be inappropriate for me not to shoot."

Major international directors have a great right to choose, but they do not have the right to choose all movies. They will also shoot some types of movies that they do not like.

Just like the powerful Zhang Yimou, he sometimes feels very helpless. However, a great international director is a great international director, and not everyone can find a woman who is thirty years younger than themselves. When Chen Ting and Zhang Yimou got married, Chen Ting was in his early twenties. In the end, he did not enter the entertainment industry at all and became the man behind Zhang Yimou.

If it wasn't for Zhang Yimou's reputation, not necessarily all of them, but at least most of them.

Just like Chen Ning Yang and his wife Weng Hong, short-term meal tickets turn into long-term meal tickets. Sometimes, some things are quite magical.

If Yang Zhenning was a worker and farmer, it would be impossible for any young female college student to marry him. Talking about love or anything like that would be nonsense.

Love that is not based on material fame is just hooliganism.

This is also quite applicable to great directors. For example, Brother Chen Kai and Ni Ping also lived together for many years, which is well known in the entertainment industry, but in the end they married the young and beautiful Chen Hong.

As for the marriage, if your brother Chen Kai falls in love soon, can Chen Hong be pregnant with your child?

Therefore, the personal life of a great director is actually more complicated than imagined.
