Entertainment Empire System

There are only so many radio stations and newspapers in the entire Hong Kong City, and the ones that have appeared on the stage are probably fifty or sixty. This also includes reporters stationed in Hong Kong City from other places, plus those tabloids and so on, that is, There are more than a hundred reporters. Even if one family sends two reporters, two hundred reporters means that almost all the media in the Hong Kong City are dispatched.

Ye Ming finally thought about what he was worried about. In the past two days, he always felt that he had forgotten something, but he could not remember it. At this time, he finally figured out what he had forgotten.

Lu Yu said from the side: "Is there a press conference for Big Brother's new film? But it's impossible. I don't have any news. If there is any press conference for Big Brother's new film, then it would be enough to do it at a time like this." It attracted the attention of so many reporters.”

Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "It can't be Big Brother's new film conference, otherwise, it would have caused a storm in the city. What is supposed to come will always come. These people are here to block Big Brother. I know something, I wasn't sure at first, but now it seems to be true.

Teacher Zhang, please sit down first. I'll find my elder brother to see if I can find a way to save this matter. "

If the eldest brother is really blocked here by so many reporters, then according to the eldest brother's character that would rather bend than bend, he will definitely conflict with the media. In fact, the eldest brother is somewhat unreasonable about this matter. If his attitude is seized upon by the media and attacked again, it will be difficult to deal with the matter.

At this time, Zhang Tielin was very surprised: "Nowadays, there are still media who dare to offend Big Brother. Don't want to offend him. Not long ago, a female star offended the local underworld in Macau. Big Brother stepped forward. The underworld was a little disrespectful. Big Brother He also threatened to pay 100 million to settle the people in Macau, but in the end the matter was settled."

The eldest brother's status in the world is very powerful. The eldest brother, who was originally a dragon and tiger martial artist, naturally has a group of brothers who dare to fight.

Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher Zhang, you don't know such a thing. This good money has nothing to do with it. Let alone the eldest brother, even if US President Clinton made such a mistake, it is still the same." will be impeached."

Clinton couldn't control his lower body and caused a scandal with Lewinsky. As a result, he almost became the first president to be impeached in the history of the United States. It can be said that he lost his face.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Tielin stopped talking at this time. The whole entertainment industry knows about the eldest brother's love interest. If this matter involves the eldest brother's personal life, then the reporters outside do have enough reasons to come. Intercept brother.

This is big news in the entertainment industry. Who hopes to find out what this kind of thing is like in the first time.

Ye Ming greeted the waiter, and immediately a beautiful woman came over and said, "Mr. Ye, I don't know what your orders are." Ye Ming glanced outside and said, "I heard that Brother Cheng Long and his friends also came Here they are, I want to pay them a visit."

this requirement. This puts the waiter in a bit of a dilemma and cannot reveal the secrets of the guests. This is the basic requirement for the waiter. Otherwise, in such a situation, who would dare to come and spend money.

At this time, the beautiful waiter said with a very embarrassed look: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye, according to the regulations, I cannot disclose the customer's information."

Ye Ming actually understands such a rule. The waiters also act according to orders, so naturally they will not embarrass others. But this matter actually needs to be resolved urgently and cannot be delayed. The longer the delay, the more reporters will come. In such a situation, it will be more detrimental to the resolution of the matter.

At that moment, Ye Ming thought about it and said: "You may not be able to make the decision on this matter. Then go find your lobby manager and ask your lobby manager to ask the eldest brother. I think the eldest brother will not refuse my visit. Just say that I have something important and may even implicate you." The waiter was able to satisfy this request. Ye Ming was not an ordinary person. Obviously, he would not go to Brother Cheng Long to chase stars.

When Cheng Long came to drink tea, he naturally asked for the largest and most luxurious box, but there were only three people sitting on the sofa in the entire box. Cheng Long sat lazily in the middle, and the one on the left with a mustache, The famous singer Li Zongsheng, a great talent and a great singer, is also a figure who can become a historical benchmark in the entertainment industry.

The person who can sit with these two people is naturally not an ordinary person. The one on the right is the emperor superstar Zhang Guorong, his brother Zhang Guorong, who just finished promoting "Red Lover" from the mainland not long ago.

At this time, Li Zongsheng picked up his glass and said, "Hong Kong student, your Rush Hour was released in the United States, and the box office was quite good. I heard that the next one will be released soon?"

Mentioning his masterpiece "Rush Hour", Cheng Long seemed a little excited at this time. This is obviously the most successful movie of the elder brother in the past two years. In fact, it can enter Hollywood and the West in a real sense. There are two Chinese people in the mainstream film market, one is Bruce Lee, and the other is now Cheng Long. Many of Cheng Long's kung fu movies are very popular in the West, but they really operate according to the Hollywood model. This "Rush Hour" is the first one, and it has been quite successful.

Much better than [Cannonball Speeder]. "Cannonball Run" can be said to be Cheng Long's first film in Hollywood. It was considered a test of the waters, but the result was a misfortune. The kind of road movie is not like the Western style, and it even abandons Cheng Long's usual style. With a humorous Kung Fu style, it would be strange if it didn't fail. In fact, it was precisely because of the failure of a movie like this that Cheng Long's trip to Hollywood was postponed for a long time.

And this [Rush Hour] is Cheng Long’s ambitious work.

And the result is very good, making Hollywood's eyes light up. Regardless of any country, if a movie is about to be filmed as a sequel, there is only one possibility at this time, that is, if the first movie becomes a hit, only a popular movie can make a second one. Someone is willing to pay for the second part. For example, last year's "Batman and Robin" was critically panned, both at the box office and by critics. Warner immediately put the Batman film series on ice for eight years.

However, the box office of "Rush Hour" last year was 244 million US dollars, and the production cost was only 33 million US dollars, which can be said to be a huge profit. Therefore, it is obvious that the second part is already started.

This made Cheng Long suddenly rise to the ranks of mainstream Hollywood stars. After Bruce Lee, finally there is a Chinese who can make it this far.

Cheng Long said proudly: "There should be no problem with this sequel, that is, when the filming will start. However, my agency has already raised questions about the remuneration, and the actors' union also believes that the remuneration needs to be increased." Some, so as long as we solve some of these problems, we can basically start."

In the first film, Cheng Long's salary was US$8 million. Naturally, the salary for the first hit film will increase. Then the production cost of the second part reached more than 90 million US dollars, which means that the salaries of Cheng Long and Tucker were increased. For the second part of Rush Hour, Cheng Long's salary was 18 million plus 100 million US dollars. Fifteen percent of the box office dividends.

It is said that Cheng Long's salary exceeds 20 million. This is a rumor. No Chinese star's salary can reach the 20 million salary club in Hollywood. Even in Hollywood, there are actually only ten actors who can really climb the salary club. to this top position. Among the Chinese, Cheng Long's eighteen million was the highest.

Leslie Cheung said with some waning interest: "Those foreigners actually look down on us. Your peak box office is so high, but as a result, it is so difficult to increase the salary. It is even more difficult for others to get along."

Others who joined Hollywood later include Li Lianjie and Zhou Runfa. Obviously, these two were not very successful, at least not as good as Cheng Long in terms of salary and influence. At this time, Cheng Long said with a smile: "It's hard to leave, but you have to leave. You can't let those foreign guys look down on you. Fortunately, they invited me to take the photo. In other aspects, it's pretty good." At this time, Cheng Long Long does have a feeling of being alone. Breaking into Hollywood alone is not as easy as it seems on the surface. It does not mean that the scenery you see is so wonderful.

At this moment, when the three of them were immersed in this helplessness, there was a knock on the door of the box.

Cheng Long reacted from his loneliness and said, "Come in."

The person who came was the lobby manager, because Cheng Long also came here often. Therefore, he knew this lobby manager, and his surname seemed to be Luo. Therefore, Cheng Long glanced at him and said, "Manager Luo, what's the matter? Didn't you see that I'm here?" Want to greet friends?"

It is obvious that guests cannot be disturbed without being summoned. At this time, Manager Luo's behavior somewhat broke the rules. Cheng Long was not in a good mood at the moment, so his tone when he spoke was not very comfortable.

Manager Luo quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng Long, don't be angry. In fact, I came here because I was entrusted by others. Mr. Ye Mingye didn't know how he knew you were coming, so he wanted to visit you and let me Come and ask Mr. Cheng Long what you mean?" Ye Ming, that young man who dares to risk his life, Cheng Long's heart moved. He himself is a famous desperate man. He dares to fight and fight. He has the courage to fight for such a person. Cheng Long still admires these people.

Therefore, Cheng Long was stunned and said: "Ye Ming, that young man who advertises Sprite is interesting. Go tell him and I'll invite him to come and sit down."

There are not many people in Hong Kong who ask Big Brother to use the word "please" when speaking. Especially after "Rush Hour", Big Brother has become the number one person in the Chinese film industry. He has a respected position and is worthy of him using the word "please". There weren't many in the first place. For Ye Ming, a newcomer, to be able to be used by Cheng Long as a "please", it was more or less taking up the time that Ye Ming dared to fight for.

Li Zongsheng said with a smile: "Ye Ming, I have also heard of this young man. He can sing well and write well, and he dares to fight hard. No one in Baodao dares to fly in a wingsuit without power."

Cheng Long said with a smile: "He is also the first Chinese person who dares to eat crabs. This is playing with his life. According to Ye Ming's current achievements, he didn't have to play with his life. The key is that he succeeded. , this is what I value about him. People like this will be welcomed regardless of whether they are from the East or the West."

Anyone who dares to risk his life is just a fool at best, but in a situation like this, once the success rate is high, he is a warrior, and everyone has eternal admiration for warriors. At least it can make Cheng Long take a look.

Hearing that Ye Ming was actually invited, Zhang Tielin and the others were a little surprised. Dou Wentao said in surprise: "Brother Cheng Long rarely uses the word "invite". It seems that Ye Ming's status is higher than we thought." It’s much higher.”

Zhang Tielin said sincerely: "Wen Tao, if you dare to fly in a wingsuit without power, then at this time, there is a chance that you will be favored by big brother." Dou Wentao waved his hand and quickly denied it and said: "Brother Zhang, you Are you kidding me? Even if I have the guts to jump down, I’m afraid I’ll end up dead standing on the ground.”

It can be called an extreme sport among extreme sports. That's not something ordinary people can play. It's definitely gambling with their lives. Only Cheng Long's box was found. When Ye Ming saw the three superstars, he naturally said hello first. Any one of these three people was qualified enough for Ye Ming to respect.

After finishing the courtesy, Cheng Long said with a smile: "Ye Ming, I saw the commercial you shot a few days ago. If Sprite doesn't increase your endorsement fee next year, then you will always come to me and I will introduce you to General Motors. I promise. The endorsement fee is higher than that of Sprite. There are not many young people who want to work hard like you. By the way, what do you want from me? I even asked Manager Luo to ask, but in fact, you can just come over directly. "

Rules are rules. Even if Ye Ming knew which box Cheng Long was in, he would still ask people to come over and ask him out of respect. Some rules could not be changed no matter what.

Ye Ming said very modestly: "Brother is joking. My danger is nothing to him. It's not worth mentioning at all. I came here because I saw a lot of reporters at the door. I heard that eldest brother is here. I I wonder if the second part of Big Brother’s new movie [Rush Hour] is about to start filming.”＼ (To be continued)
