Entertainment Empire System

At this time, Ye Ming was a little confused. The reception party didn't seem to say anything about whose support fund it was, but it seemed that Hou Xiaoxian's face didn't look very good. However, he didn't have the nerve to step forward and ask. After all, the two children are not too familiar, right? From beginning to end, no one mentioned anything about support funds.

At this time, Wang Weizhong smiled. Seeing that Ye Ming was embarrassed, it was also a thing that made him very happy. At that moment, he said: "Don't you feel that this thing is very unexpected? In fact, it is my first time." Knowing such a thing, I feel very strange like you. But after a long time, you will understand that in fact, such a thing is not a big deal. Speech at the reception party Several directors have received support funds. This year, the total is three million. Although it is distributed to each person, it is not a lot, but it shows the support of the authorities, right? Therefore, this is also a considerable amount. It's a good talisman. However, it doesn't matter, it can't be done. Of the five directors, four are royal directors who have a very close relationship with the leaders. The remaining one is just used to fool the media. Just a lucky guy."

Wang Weizhong knows something like this quite well, because he has been in this industry for a long time and has seen a lot, which means he is used to it.

At this time, Ye Ming gave a forced smile and said: "It's all about fighting for relationships. I thought that this was only popular in the mainland. I didn't expect that Baodao also values ​​relationships. It's the same everywhere these days. "

Ye Ming was familiar with some things on the mainland, but the same was true in Treasure Island. This was an eye-opener for him.

At this time, Ye Ming pondered for a while and said: "Then you tell me, under this format, how many movies produced by the support fund can be successful? This seems to be relatively difficult, right?'

Wang Weizhong said unceremoniously: "Do you think the public really cares about this little money? If you lose, you lose. It's not a big deal, right? It's just a few million, blocking the world's mouth. How is this?" It’s a good deal. It’s not personal money anyway, so I don’t feel bad selling my land.”

At this time, Wang Weizhong showed his humorous characteristics, and at this moment, Ye Ming seemed to have thought of why Wang Weizhong would create a program like "The People's Largest Party" later.

It turns out that Wang Weizhong is also an angry youth. He is just a literary and artistic angry youth who hides it very well. But no matter what, he is dissatisfied with some social issues. This literary and artistic angry youth turned these dissatisfaction into a variety show. The biggest reason. This is China, and not everyone has the guts to do it. The future godfathers of variety shows, this is not just a matter of talk, they are all those who have dared to fight and break into such big names by relying on their true abilities.

Therefore, at this moment, Ye Ming couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in his heart. Wang Weizhong has not changed his true nature as a cynical scholar. However, if there are more people like this, the entertainment industry will be really lively.

At this moment in the capital, Lao Bai heard that a TV series like "Carry Love to the End" starring Ye Ming ended up saying that he was stuck in the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. He was very happy and wrote an article "Bring Love to the End" overnight. The halberd sinks into the sand, reflecting the chaos in the TV drama industry]. For this article, he used his own connections to find out why a TV series like "Love to the End" got stuck. It is actually a big hat to say that the theme and idea are not clear. Therefore, Lao Bai unceremoniously criticized director Zhang Yibai. Naturally, as Ye Ming's old enemy, he would not miss the opportunity to ridicule Ye Ming in such a situation.

Anyway, it had a bad impact on Ye Ming's reputation.

Moreover, because of the strong influence of [Southern Sunday], many people follow up every day and pay attention to the development of this matter. Anyway, there are not many people on Ye Ming's side this time. Most of them are not interested in Ye Ming. Not very optimistic about it. Among them, Zhang Weiping's views are particularly strong, because Ye Ming is the male lead of "My Father and Mother". Now that the male lead has encountered such a thing, it may also have a negative impact on the movie that has not started filming.

Therefore, at this time, Zhang Weiping was very angry and took the newspaper to find Zhang Yimou who was busy with preliminary work. He threw the newspaper on the table unceremoniously and said: "Director Zhang, take a look. Ye Ming's news is in vain." You believe in Ye Ming so much, and you even chose him as the leading actor. In such a situation, we all misjudged this person. He didn’t know the importance of him at all. He was young, light, and a little famous. It means I don’t know how high the sky and the earth are, so I’m going to be in trouble now. We may also be unlucky.”

Zhang Yimou said the same thing, with an expression of deep sorrow and deep hatred. He picked up the newspaper and read it, and then said nonchalantly: "Mr. Zhang, you are too exaggerated. How can you be an actor without any frills?" News or something, this seems to me to be a very normal phenomenon, and I still call it back for re-editing. It’s not a direct ban. I don’t think it’s a big problem, otherwise, there will be no chance to modify it.”

Zhang Yimou still believed in Ye Ming very much and was very optimistic about this newcomer. Therefore, he did not take the news about [Carrying Love to the End] stuck by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau in his heart at all. He has seen this matter a lot in the circle, and even saying that he has seen things more outrageous than this is not to say that he has never seen it before.

However, at this time, Zhang Weiping seemed to have some opinions on such a matter, and said unconvinced: "This will have a certain impact on our company. It just hasn't started yet. Let's replace it with a male protagonist." Well, after all, there isn’t much loss, right? If Ye Ming is used and someone uses this TV series to attack our movie, then it would be a bit more gain than loss.”

Zhang Weiping is a film investor after all. Therefore, at this time, he is more concerned about the interests of the film. Even if it is a romance film, no matter what, he is Put interests first. Therefore, in his opinion, Ye Ming's news this time has already had an impact on his movie.

Therefore, at this moment, the idea of ​​​​substituting someone like this spread crazily in his mind.

Zhang Yimou has the kind of style that insists on Qingshan and never relaxes. He smiled honestly and said: "Since it is said that the contract has been signed, it is not an easy thing to break the contract, and I want to find a more suitable one." It’s not an easy thing either. Let’s wait and see, right?”

In fact, under such a situation, Zhang Weiping had expected that he would not agree to Zhang Yimou. Zhang Weiping knew Zhang Yimou very well. Once a person like this entered the working state, he would definitely It means that the relatives do not recognize each other. Therefore, under such a situation, Zhang Weiping actually came here just to test the situation.

Zhang Weiping said: "You are not worried about male actors, are you? In fact, if we want to find your male lead, there will be a lot of them. Who doesn't want to be in your movie? Being in your movie is equivalent to saying That's half the battle." Zhang Yimou shook his head and said: "I think Ye Ming is the most suitable, that's why I approached him. This is art, not buying Chinese cabbage. You can just change it casually. , this is disrespectful to art."

When art was mentioned, Zhang Yimou suddenly became energetic, as if he was Popeye after eating spinach.

Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Yimou became completely excited. Zhang Weiping could only calm down and said, "Forget it, let's not argue about this anymore. Anyway, this is good news about the crew who were not doing well at the time."

Although Zhang Weiping didn't say anything else, it can actually be seen from Zhang Weiping's words that he was not very satisfied with the whole thing. It was only Zhang Yimou's persistence that made Zhang Weiping give in.

At this moment, another person in the room spoke after reading the newspaper: "Director Zhang, Ye Ming and I are not very familiar with each other, and we have no hatred, but from a fair standpoint, Ye Ming If this thing happens now, it will definitely have a certain impact on our crew. This is a rural love drama, so we have to be careful when shooting it. What Ye Ming did this time was really to say that he didn't say much. It's so authentic that if we choose the wrong drama, it can actually implicate us, so I think it's not impossible to consider another person."

Originally, at a time like this, the two bosses of the company were muttering something. This new generation of actor Zhang Ziyi had no say. But at this time, Zhang Ziyi just said that. , Moreover, Zhang Yimou didn't say anything and continued working. Zhang Weiping seemed to want to say something, but in the end he continued: "Yes, although the impact on the crew may be very small, or even non-existent, but , In a situation like this, no one can guarantee that there will be no impact at all. This is a threat to us, so I think it is better to replace him. This is also our fault. Who made him have a problem? .”

Anyway, Zhang Weiping was not very optimistic about Ye Ming, but all the TV series that were rejected by the Radio, Film and Television Bureau basically had a fate of being buried in dust, so he had already judged Ye Ming to be out of the game.

If you change to a male protagonist, not only can you gain a favor, but you will also earn a lot of money in the end.

Even if the operation is good, in such a situation, it can actually play a role in publicity. At this time, Zhang Weiping seemed to have settled down, and when he looked at Zhang Ziyi, he also found this cute little girl very pleasing to the eye.

However, Zhang Yimou said one thing at this time: "Now Ye Ming is not filming My Fair Princess. Do you know what he is doing? In fact, what he is doing is participating in the Golden Horse Awards. You haven't thought about this, right? .”

This matter exploded instantly like a bomb. Zhang Weiping was also a little stunned. He participated in the Golden Horse Awards, but Ye Ming did not reveal any information to the outside world. Everyone thought that he was participating in the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". Everyone knows that the filming of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" is currently progressing very fast, and the director and actors are constantly spinning.

She even said that she was not the only one who was surprised. Zhang Ziyi was also extremely surprised and said: "This is impossible. Doesn't the Golden Horse Awards say that only filmmakers from Taiwan and Hong Kong can participate? At some point, people from the mainland can also participate. Participated in the selection of the Golden Horse Awards.”

Zhang Ziyi is a student after all. In such a situation, she actually has a feeling of admiration for the Golden Horse Award. She thinks that if she wins the Golden Horse Award, it will be the existence of a superstar. What? Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, etc., these are the real candidates for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor and Best Actress.

A small Ye Ming, of course Ye Ming's rise is actually very fast, but under such a situation, is he qualified to participate in the Golden Horse Award? Zhang Yimou said with great certainty: "Now people from the mainland are also eligible to participate. Mr. Zhang has been clamoring for reform of the Golden Horse Award for many years. Coincidentally, this year is the first Golden Horse Award for reform and the 35th Golden Horse Award." , Hou Xiaoxian is here, you should know that Ye Ming was invited by Director Hou Xiaoxian. Think about it, if Ye Ming’s acting skills were not very good, would Director Hou Xiaoxian let him participate in the Golden Horse Awards?"

It seems that this is impossible. He knew that Hou Xiaoxian came. However, in the end, Hou Xiaoxian invited Ye Ming to participate in the Golden Horse Awards. It seemed that he still really didn't know about such a thing.

Back in the office, Zhang Weiping felt a little unwilling. He immediately found Jiang He, the department manager responsible for contracting actors. Jiang He was also an old minister who followed Zhang Weiping. From the establishment of New Flowers to the present, he was Zhang Weiping's right-hand man, not a close confidant. It is also impossible to manage such a thing as contract signing. If it is about signing a contract, then in a situation like this, it must mean that someone needs to send money. Therefore, Jianghe still controls important departments.

After finding Jianghu, Zhang Weiping said: "Lao Jiang, did you see today's [Southern Sunday]?"

Xin Hua Mian is not a newspaper. Of course, it is mainly about matters related to the entertainment industry. Jiang He said very respectfully: "I saw it. Is it about Ye Ming? Boss, what are your instructions?" Jiang He is a very smart person. At this time, the boss mentioned [Southern Sunday], It goes without saying that the purpose is to ask about Ye Ming's affairs. In other words, only Ye Ming's matters can be questioned in such a focused manner under such circumstances. Sure enough, Zhang Weiping nodded and said: "It's Ye Ming's thing. If something like this happened, I want to change to a male lead. This way, it will reduce some unnecessary trouble for our company and the crew." However, you also know that this role was decided by Director Zhang Yimou himself. I wanted to change the role at this moment, but Director Zhang firmly disagreed. Even in such a situation, Zhang Ziyi was on the side to help speak. None of it works."

Zhang Weiping had actually expected Zhang Yimou's stubbornness, but he did not expect that Zhang Yimou would be so stubborn at this time. Therefore, if he wanted to solve this problem at this moment, he could only find Jiang He to come up with a solution. Jiang He thought for a while and said, "[My father and mother]? Actually, when we signed the contract, we also had regulations. We can terminate the contract unilaterally, and we can terminate the contract without the director's consent."

This news is good news for Zhang Weiping. If he can terminate the contract with Ye Ming directly without Zhang Yimou, it will reduce a lot of trouble. At that moment, Zhang Weiping's eyes lit up and he said: "Well, you go and inform Ye Ming, and the contract will be terminated when he comes back from the Golden Horse Awards. This matter of [carrying love to the end] has made him realize it and solved it on his own."

But at this moment, in such a situation, Jiang He was actually a little hesitant and said: "Golden Horse Award, Ye Ming actually said that he went to the Golden Horse Award. What do you think? There is no news about Ye Ming from the cast of Princess Princess in the past two days. .Boss, do you want to wait and see if Ye Ming can win the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor? If he can win it, then we will still have an advantage at this time."

This is something that a contract manager must consider. Therefore, Jianghe has to ask about such a thing. Zhang Weiping said with great disdain: "Do you think there is a possibility of this? Ye Ming, I admit that his singing is better, but his acting skills, when it comes to the level of actor, do you think I have never seen an actor? ,"

It seemed that at this time, Zhang Weiping had already concluded that Ye Ming would not be able to get the best actor position.

In fact, it is no wonder that Zhang Weiping has such a view. The entertainment circles in Baodao and Hong Kong City generally look down on their counterparts in the mainland entertainment industry. Except for a few who have won international awards, such as Zhang Yimou. Chen Kaige, Gong Li, Ge You, etc. At this time, the entertainment circles in Hong Kong City and Baodao all looked at their mainland counterparts with a superior eye.

Everyone is well aware of this. At this time, Zhang Weiping actually had such a thought, so he waved his hand and said: "Forget it, just go and notify him. Don't let Ye Ming come back dejected, and others will say that we are adding insult to injury."
