Entertainment Empire System

This person is Zhang Weiping. For a long period of time, in fact, all the films from Zhang Yimou to Jinling Thirteen Hairpins were produced by Zhang Weiping's New Flower Company.

It can be seen that the friendship between these two is still in the honeymoon stage at least now, and the two of them have been comrades in the trenches for a long time.

At this time, Zhang Yimou introduced: "Wei Ping, this is an actor I found on Director Guo's crew, Ye Ming. His acting skills are quite good. I plan to use him as the leading actor in the next film. Just wait a moment. , I’ll talk to you later.”

After saying that, Zhang Yimou turned around and said: "Ye Ming, I have a book in my hand. I want to make a new movie. I won't tell you the name of the movie. I want you to play the male lead in the movie. Now I I have a question for you, what is your family background like?"

This matter immediately made Ye Ming stunned. It seemed that after 1979, the issue of family background was basically no longer an issue. After so many years of reform and opening up, why are we still raising the issue of family background?

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, and Zhang Yimou seemed to understand something and said: "Don't think so. In fact, my protagonist is a young intellectual, and his family is also very poor. If you have a good background, I'm afraid there will be gap."

Ye Ming was relieved. My father was not just a poor old man.

At that moment, Ye Ming said, "Don't worry, Director Zhang. Our family is poor. When we were young, our family would have to wait until the holidays to eat meat. I feel the same way about poverty."

Zhang Yimou nodded and said, "That's good. Next, you will act out the scene of a rural teacher returning to his dormitory just after class. Do an improvisational performance."

There are no props, so improvising is the most challenging thing.

Ye Ming turned around and went out. He was also beating a drum in his heart. He was in a state of confusion and had no bottom in his snacks. What kind of performance would be good?

The key is how to get Zhang Yimou's approval.

At this time, Ye Ming suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his mind, as if he had caught something. He had seen the original movie and had a deep understanding of the atmosphere in it, the poor life and the warm love. , help each other grow old together.

A picture of an inextricable rural love story slowly unfolded in Ye Ming's mind.

At this time, Ye Ming suddenly thought of the key.

Opening the door, Ye Ming first took a towel that didn't exist, walked to the sect and patted his body. There was always chalk dust in class, so naturally it was said to be patted down.

This is one aspect of Stinky Laojiu's love of cleanliness.

After the patting, Ye Ming put the towel back naturally, carefully took off his shirt, folded it up skillfully, put it aside, rolled up his trouser legs, and then started to work.

Zhang Yimou watched these with great interest, but Zhang Weiping was a little confused by what he saw.

However, he could also see that Zhang Yimou was very satisfied with Ye Ming's performance.

Soon, Zhang Yimou stopped and said, "Okay. Tell me your understanding of the character."

Ye Ming summed it up and said: "I love cleanliness, so I always pay attention to my personal hygiene. However, if I am poor, I naturally have to pay attention to my appearance and wear better clothes when going to class.

However, they are all for students to see. No matter how poor they are, teachers must set an example and set a good example for students.

But because there is only one set of good clothes, under such circumstances, after work, you should carefully fold the clothes you wore in class before working, so as not to wear out your good clothes.

I think these two points should be common among intellectuals of that era, especially teachers. "

At this time, Zhang Yimou said: "Is anyone in your family a teacher?"

Ye Ming shook his head and said, "No, but when I was in elementary school, my class teacher was such an intellectual, which I still remember freshly."

Zhang Yimou nodded very happily and said: "Yes, these are things that academics can't learn, and it's you. Wei Ping, what do you think?"

Zhang Weiping said very generously: "What do you tell me to do in this matter? I don't understand your business. If you think it will work, then it will work. Have you decided on the heroine? I still want to sell a favor?" "

Zhang Yimou seemed to be giving no face at all and said: "You are just like this. You can't change your true nature as a businessman. The heroine has almost been decided. We have collaborated with me on an advertisement before. A new one cannot be replaced by a new one." However, I can see that he has potential, which is very remarkable. One of the students of China National Opera, Zhang Ziyi, has a great future if he is well trained."

Although it seems that Zhang Yimou is not good at flattering male stars, but when it comes to seeking girls, that is a resounding golden sign.

After hearing this, Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "She wants to be lucky to be favored by you. I don't care about these things about you. I'm here to tell you that [No One Left Behind] will be released soon. In terms of publicity, you are the best You have to pay attention. Also, this movie is missing a theme song. This movie doesn’t have a theme song, how is it possible?”

Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, then pondered for a while, even Ye Ming couldn't care about it, and finally said: "It's not good for you to come up with a theme song for this movie. It's a movie that reflects the Hope Project." , please come up with a theme song for me. What kind of theme song is more suitable for our movie? If not, you will be scolded."

At this time, Zhang Weiping said with a smile: "I am my own intuition, just like last year's "Titanic". That theme song, "My Heart Will Go On" sung by Celine Dion, isn't it? Look, the fire It’s a complete mess, am I not in line with international standards?”

Zhang Yimou immediately waved his hand and said: "Don't do this with me. I don't know you yet. Someone is looking for you. Is it interesting? I want to create a theme song for a Project Hope movie. Who asked you?" "

Zhang Yimou knew his partner very well. If he could say this, someone must have raised this question.

Zhang Weiping smiled bitterly and said: "As you know, this is a mission movie. We can't make it even if we don't want to. And this request was made by a leader above. I can't shirk it."

At this time, Zhang Yimou snorted and said: "How can you ask me to find a suitable theme song in such a short period of time? Isn't this nonsense?"

Zhang Weiping didn't know that this was nonsense, but he had no choice. He couldn't make the decision on some things. Therefore, on such a question, he frowned and suddenly looked up at Ye Ming. , seemed to think that this young man looked familiar: "Ye Ming, you should have sung the song [Blue and White Porcelain] in the Spring Festival Gala. Yes, I like it. Since you can write [Blue and White Porcelain], why not write it for our movie A song?"

Ye Ming just opened his mouth to say something, but Zhang Yimou waved his hand and said: "Ye Ming, don't listen to his nonsense. This man is Zhang Weiping, the boss of Xin Hua Mian. He doesn't know what songwriting is like. This means Can it be written by just writing? And the proposition composition is difficult. The movie will be screened soon, so it’s too late.”

The rough cutting work is almost completed. "No One Can Be Missed" is basically the finishing stage. Therefore, some people say that adding a song is simply impossible.

At least Zhang Yimou thought it was impossible.

In fact, even Zhang Weiping did not expect that Ye Ming would complete this task. He was just improvising. After all, catching someone is a person.

Who knew that Zhang Weiping actually said that he had foresight at this time. No one he could find might be able to complete this task in such a short time. However, Ye Ming was different.

Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Director Zhang, to be honest, Mr. Zhang, I really have a song that is more suitable for this film, [No one can be missing]. I have heard of it, although I don't have it." Look, your film, Director Zhang, has been spread all over the world for a long time. It is a film for the Hope Project, and I just have a song that fits the occasion."

I dare not say anything else, but Ye Ming can guarantee that his song will be very suitable [no one should be missing].

At this time, Zhang Yimou and Zhang Weiping were stunned, especially Zhang Weiping, who had an expression of disbelief on his face. This matter was like Zhang Weiping winning five million in one go.

Can the problem be solved by just looking for someone and asking a casual question?

Now Zhang Weiping became interested and said with great interest: "You have a song that is suitable for the occasion. What is it? Let me make it clear first. If the director is not satisfied, then it will not work. If you can really help me solve the problem, The male lead in the next play will be yours."

Anyway, Zhang Yimou had already chosen Ye Ming. At this time, Zhang Weiping was just doing a favor.

At this time, Zhang Yimou also said with great interest: "Yes, you have thought about this matter. This is not an ordinary movie. It is a task from above. I am also fulfilling my obligations for the Hope Project. It's our responsibility.

This matter originally has nothing to do with you, but if you insist on getting involved, if it goes wrong, you will be involved. "

Zhang Yimou was relatively satisfied with Ye Ming, so he was unwilling to let him get involved.

After all, it’s hard to say how well this movie will be received. He himself has no idea. Even if he is a great international director, he is not a god.

Ye Ming said very firmly: "Don't worry, Director Zhang, we won't accept porcelain work without diamonds."

Chen Xi stood up and showed his big watery eyes and said: "Please recommend me, please add it to your collection. If you recommend it and add it to your collection, I will soon end my life as a single aristocrat." (To be continued)
