Entertainment Empire System

Berlin is a city that is shockingly calm, just like the calm, tenacious, and meticulous character unique to the Germans, which is fully reflected in this city.

For example, if a bus is scheduled to arrive at the platform at 8:30, then at 8:27, even if the driver slowly smokes a cigarette and takes a nap, he still has to wait until 8:30. The rest is to walk the 100 meters and arrive at the bus stop on time.

Although this is a joke, no matter what it is, it fully illustrates the meticulousness of the Germans and their strict compliance with rules and regulations.

It was as if Ye Ming was riding a Maybach provided by the organizing committee. The next day was the time for the awards ceremony. That night, Ye Ming followed Zhang Yimou to several press conferences. Zhang Yimou’s calm demeanor was as stable as Mount Tai, whether it was the Asahi Shimbun, the New York Times, or the Times. , even the BBC and other international media, Zhang Yimou can face it calmly. Standing next to Zhang Yimou, Ye Ming feels Zhang Yimou's calm mood every moment. Finally, in the last news After the press conference, after the entertainment empire was opened, it was prompted [The host understands the preliminary system of the Emperor Superstar and takes a leisurely stroll. 】

At this time, Ye Ming was a little surprised [What kind of function is leisurely walking in the courtyard? Why didn't I know there was such a function? 】

System prompts [Sauntering is an auxiliary function of Emperor Superstar. Its function is to prevent the host from stage fright. No matter what the occasion is, it can have a strolling performance. The host and Zhang Ziyi both showed stage fright in these press conferences, but it just means that you are behind Zhang Yimou, so even if you show stage fright, it will not attract the attention of reporters. 】

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and realized that this was indeed the case. In such a situation, when facing the international media, he did have a stage fright in his heart. Fortunately, he always used that professional smile to cover it up. No matter what, the reporter did not notice it, but Zhang Ziyi made it more obvious, always holding Zhang Yimou's wrist tightly with one hand. Only then did Ye Ming understand that when facing the media, one must have a calm attitude.

With the mentality of "Wandering in the Garden", Ye Ming felt very relaxed, as if there was no invisible pressure from reporters at the press conference.

When Ye Ming went to the bathroom, he saw Zhang Yimou treating the wound on his wrist in the bathroom. He had no intention of hiding it from Ye Ming. He said with a smile: "Xiao Zhang still lacks international experience and has never seen big scenes. Therefore, At this point, my wrists were bleeding from pinching."

This also fully proves how nervous Zhang Ziyi is inside. Zhang Yimou took care of it and covered it up with his shirt. No trace could be seen outside.

At this time, he came out with Ye Ming with a smile, and while walking away from Zhang Yimou, he said: "I really can't tell, Ye Ming, this is your first time to come to such an international film festival, in such a situation. Next, your performance is surprising, really surprising. I didn't expect you to be so calm. Xiaozhang should really learn from you on this point. She still lacks experience in this area. "

It was difficult for Ye Ming to say anything about this. Everyone could see that Zhang Ziyi was Zhang Yimou's favored girl. Although Zhang Yimou repeatedly said that Zhang Ziyi was not good, it was because he hated iron. If others really dared to If Zhang Ziyi is bad-mouthed, Zhang Yimou will definitely become impatient.

Ye Ming, who has lived in two generations, still has this kind of eyesight. Ye Ming said with a smile: "Director Zhang was joking. In fact, I was so nervous that my shirt was soaked. It was just that I made my debut a little early, so I managed to endure it. To be honest, from noon to now, I I don’t even dare to drink saliva because I am afraid that I will get nervous and want to go to the toilet. If I always go to the toilet in front of so many reporters at a press conference, wouldn’t it become an international joke?”

Sure enough, hearing Ye Ming's humility, Zhang Yimou showed a rare smile on his face and said: "You are so humble. If Xiao Zhang is half as humble as you, then her career in film and television will be It will be very beneficial, but unfortunately, this needs to be done step by step.”

At this time, Zhang Ziyi was waiting on the other side of the corridor. When she saw Zhang Yimou coming out, Zhang Ziyi immediately greeted him and took Zhang Yimou's arm enthusiastically.

At this time, Zhang Yimou seemed to have no intention of stopping. His interest was very high and he kept talking: "Ye Ming, Xiao Zhang, remember, you are the only one who can show enough arrogance at the International Film Festival." , only then can we attract everyone's attention and attention. Of course, this kind of arrogance is not about being a big name. Even if Schwarzenegger and Stallone dare to break the rules, they will be blacklisted. As long as you are within the scope of the rules , act condescending enough, that is, no one can do anything to you. For example, if a reporter asks you a question, and it is difficult for you to answer, you can say that this question is a bit of an infringement of some people's privacy rights, and I I think it’s better not to discuss it casually.”

At this time, Ye Ming said that he understood the meaning of this matter very well, but Zhang Ziyi was not very familiar with this matter at that time and immediately said: "Reporters are very difficult to deal with. If I answer like this, the reporter will not What should I do if I'm satisfied?" In China, reporters are naturally said to be very difficult to deal with. They can ask all kinds of tricky and weird questions. Zhang Ziyi has only been in the industry for more than a year, but she also understands how reporters It's overwhelming. Zhang Yimou said very definitely: "Don't worry about this. Maybe what you mentioned may happen in China, but it will never happen abroad. In China, celebrities are public figures. There’s basically no right to privacy.”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yimou has a deep understanding of it. After the incident between him and Gong Li came out, in order to avoid the media, he even said that he and Gong Li would shoot a movie like "The Battle between Ancient and Modern Qin Terracotta Warriors". In fact, it was just to avoid reporters from the media. What's ridiculous is that even here, Zhang Yimou still won the Best Actor Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival. This may be a case of losing something in the past and gaining something in the future.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou felt a little heavy, but thinking about coming to Berlin this time, he should be in a good mood. Being greeted by the Maybach shows that his film has entered the semi-finals in the main competition unit, otherwise it would be impossible to win This treatment.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou's mood immediately improved when he thought of this, and he said with a smile: "In fact, in foreign countries, personal privacy rights are very protected. Even celebrities have their own privacy rights. Once a reporter dares to infringe This right to privacy is just waiting to be taken to court by a lawyer. Lawyers abroad are not very economical."

This is also Zhang Yimou's experience. It is impossible for ordinary stars to know this, because it is impossible for ordinary stars to go to the Berlin International Film Festival. At this time, Zhang Yimou would not give advice to others casually. Zhang Ziyi thought for a while and said: "If you are too arrogant, will you be labeled as a big name? If reporters say that you are a big name at the Berlin International Film Festival, that is not good."

Zhang Yimou was very sure and said resolutely: "This is simply impossible. As long as you are invited to participate in the Berlin International Film Festival, they are elite films from various countries. It can be said that they all have merit. If It means that if you don’t have the ability and you dare to appear superior and have a naturally arrogant expression, that’s because you’re trying to be a big star. But if you have the ability, even if you’re a little arrogant, as long as it’s within the rules, it’s because you are naturally cold and arrogant. Such a personality, reporter He doesn't know what to say. Think about it, Schwarzenegger has such a big face and looks like he won't let strangers in. Who dares to say that he is playing a big role?

Also, even if star directors such as Stallone, Shaun Yunton, Tom Cruise, Lucas, etc. had a cold face, reporters would just guess why they were in a bad mood today, instead of calling them big names. Because they don’t need to be big names at all, they are big names. This is the rule of the international film festival. If you act humble and grovel, then at a time like this, you will be suspected of having no ability. Because in the eyes of those reporters, only those who are manipulated will appear unconfident. As for the consistent modesty of us Chinese people, this has put us at a great disadvantage. It is very helpless to say that Westerners know too little about us in the East and can only treat us in this crappy way. I also realized this after some twists and turns. I hope these experiences can be useful to you. "

These experiences are naturally very useful. Although Ye Ming has been born in two lives, he did not reach a stage like the International Film Festival in his previous life. Such experiences are very useful to him. important.

Therefore, Ye Ming said very politely: "These experiences are very valuable. Thank you Director Zhang for your guidance. I will definitely keep it in mind." Without the guidance of seniors, Ye Ming might want to know these experiences. It takes two or even three red carpets of international film festivals to understand this.

Therefore, Ye Ming is sincerely grateful to Zhang Yimou for imparting these experiences selflessly.

And at this good time, in a manor, a guy named Moritz picked up a Jingdezhen blue and white porcelain vase and threw it to the ground. He said angrily: "Asshole, you really piss me off. This is a joke." Are you playing with me? You don’t take our Berlin International Film Festival seriously. You can come and leave whenever you want, treating our place as some kind of place. Is it a public toilet?"

Anger welled up in his heart. Moritz stretched out his foot and kicked the broken blue and white porcelain bottle away. (To be continued)
