Chapter 942: Only small actors and no small roles

Diller also hesitated for a moment and said, "Let me take care of this matter. After all, you plotted against Ye Ming. Ye Ming must know about it now. He certainly can't be as easy to fool as reporters. You plotted against him. Facts, so I will test his tone first, otherwise there will be no room for negotiation."

Spielberg is also very helpless. As the most successful commercial film director in Hollywood, Spielberg has always been willing to take advantage of the wind and rain. Even a superstar like Tom Cruise has to take care of himself. Respectfully, but Ye Ming is just a Chinese star. He is not even a second-rate star in Hollywood, but he is so troublesome.

This made Spielberg very angry. On such an issue, he insisted on his position and said: "If it really doesn't work, then change people. There is no need to compromise on this matter."

If a director cannot control the actors on his own crew, this is a very scary thing for the director.

When he first became a director, Spielberg was not as famous as he is now. At that time, when he was making movies, he acted based on the faces of other superstars, pretending to be a grandson, and begging others in a low voice.

It is impossible for a successful Spielberg to allow his crew to have an actor who is not under his control.

Ye Ming was such an unstable factor, so he thought about replacing him. At this time, Diller shook his head and said with a somewhat regretful expression: "It's a pity that this method cannot be used in the short term.

Ye Ming is not an ordinary actor. We have been suspected of racial discrimination against Ye Ming. If we say that he was fired because of this matter, let alone Ye Ming himself, the Actors Guild will definitely file a lawsuit with you. What are you doing? Do you know Chiguoguo’s racial discrimination? Mr. Murdoch did not want such an incident to affect his plans.

Therefore, don’t do this in the short term. I cannot bear this responsibility. "

Spielberg said very firmly: "If it really doesn't work, I will bear the responsibility and compensate for all losses, but I cannot allow the crew to have actors that I cannot control."

He would rather lose money than keep Ye Ming, which shows that Spielberg's impression of Ye Ming is not generally bad.

At least this is unknown now. As a Jew, not only does he have the means to manage money, but he also sometimes has a very strong desire for rights.

On the set, Spielberg is like a god, and he does not allow anyone to challenge his authority. Diller took out a cigar. Smoking is generally not allowed in the ward, but Diller has a habit. When something is difficult to decide, he likes to smoke a Havana cigar to refresh himself and clear his mind.

Obviously Spielberg was very aware of Diller's habits, and he did not stop Diller's actions.

At this time, Shibao hesitated for a moment before saying: "It is not easy to capture Ye Ming. If it were so easy to do, then Mr. Murdoch would not call me specifically.

In other words, it is easy to take down Ye Ming. If you can bear this responsibility, there is no problem. I can also bear this responsibility. I am just a star in China. In Hollywood, I am second-rate. A third-rate star.

However, after taking down Ye Ming, what happened is beyond your control. If you let Ye Ming stand in front, even if Soros wants to take action, then in such a situation, he can only take action from behind the scenes. But if you take down Ye Ming, then Soros will directly You will be standing at the front desk, are you willing to face such a capital tycoon?"

Soros, the capital tycoon on Wall Street, is the top capital tycoon. No one is willing to face such a person directly.

Just like what Diller said, there is no problem in taking down Ye Ming, but taking down Ye Ming not only cannot solve the problem, but also means that on such a problem, after Ye Ming is taken down, it will cause It is indeed something that Diller and Spielberg are unwilling to face.

Even in such a situation, Murdoch, the man behind the scenes, was unwilling to face Soros directly.

Therefore, Spielberg thought for a while and said: "Forget it, let's see what Ye Ming thinks first and compromise. Just say that I will add scenes for him. I hope he can help us settle this matter. Just say The croton powder was regarded by Jack and others as a Chinese condiment.

After all, there are many kinds of spices in China. People in China may not understand them all. It is normal for an American not to know. In this way, there is an explanation to reporters and the audience. "

That's the tone Spielberg set.

Since it is said that Ye Ming cannot be taken down, a direct compromise is normal. So Diller nodded, smoked his cigar, and left in a puff of purple smoke.

This guy didn't leave the hospital at all and went directly to Ye Ming. After all, it would be very beneficial to everyone to be able to calm down a matter like this as soon as possible.

This time, Ye Ming was lying on the bed reading the newspaper. Although it was stormy outside, it did not touch Ye Ming at all. This incident was just the beginning. Many people did not jump out, at least the development of the whole incident. , Ye Ming looked at the end. If Spielberg asked Tom Cruise to directly use his acting skills to suppress Ye Ming, then Ye Ming really has nothing to say.

Liangtang's acting skills are indeed very good. A superstar in the 20 million salary club must have his own unique acting skills.

This kind of acting is in a class of its own. For example, Hepburn's innocence, Bergman's indifference, Parker's elegance, Chaplin's sarcasm. Yes, Chaplin's performance trait is sarcasm.

These are the unique performance characteristics of a superstar. Only when a superstar develops his own unique performance characteristics can he truly perform a legendary role.

Tom Cruise's performance is cool, not the elegance of Parker, but the coolness of a bit of a ruffian.

The roles played by Liangtang generally have little to do with elegance, but their cool qualities are of the same origin. This can be seen from Minority Report and the Mission: Impossible series.

Although Ye Ming's acting skills are excellent, to be honest, he has not developed his own acting characteristics. This is the reason why Tom Cruise can suppress Ye Ming in terms of acting skills.

If Spielberg had used such an upright method, Ye Ming would not have been so angry, nor would he have made the matter so direct.

However, in such a situation, Spielberg is also a Jew, and Jews have also suffered racial discrimination in the United States. However, Spielberg just said that using such a method to deal with Ye Ming is a bit of a scar. Forgot about the pain.

This is a key reason why Ye Ming wants to make things bigger. At this time, Diller walked in, a very graceful old man. He quickly smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Ye Ming, let me introduce, I am Diller, the president of Fox Company.

That’s how China calls its friends. I also have some friends in China. I heard that they all like to call each other that. "Diller, the boss of 21st Century Fox, appears, and it seems that this kind of thing is becoming more and more interesting.

Ye Ming naturally stood up immediately and said, "Hello, Mr. Diller, your understanding of China is beyond my expectation."

Diller nodded and said: "Fox actually wants to develop in China, but the action is relatively slow, but I think this matter should change in the next few years. Today, I just hope Everyone has a unified view on this matter.

Of course, I deeply regret the scum of the crew like Jeffrey. This does not represent the position of the crew, let alone the position of our Fox company. I will deal with this matter seriously. But the crew can't delay like that. The current entertainment trend is very unfavorable to the crew. Mr. Ye Ming must have seen those newspapers, right? "

Ye Ming nodded. To be honest, the reaction of the American media was indeed beyond Ye Ming's expectation. Under such a situation, he did not expect that those reporters were really afraid of chaos in the world and seemed to want to attack Spielberg. A deadly attack.

Ye Ming nodded and said: "This is natural. As an actor, naturally he doesn't want his crew to be in so much trouble, but I think this matter is not aimless. Those reporters don't dare to write random news. Otherwise, you’ll just have to wait to receive the lawyer’s letter, right?”

Diller did not deny this matter, nodded and said: "That's right, but they are a small number of people. We need to have a unified voice. Director Spielberg has already dealt with the relevant people, and the director has said that he will take care of your role." There will be adjustments to try to give you more opportunities to perform so that you can give full play to your acting skills.

But we all hope that the croton powder was just an accident when the chef who ordered the lunch box for our crew mistook it for your Chinese condiment. Of course, we will severely punish those involved, but we hope that when facing the media, everyone in the crew will behave like a family. "

Ye Ming thought for a while, this was Spielberg's compromise, and Soros was too quick to act, right?

Ye Ming pondered for a moment and said, "The opportunities for being on camera are all set. There is no need to adjust this. I think I still disdain to use this kind of opportunity to prove myself." Ye Ming's answer made Diller very angry. Unexpectedly, could it be that Ye Ming wanted to continue on the same path until the end?

Diller was stunned for a moment and said: "Mr. Ye Ming, what you do is very detrimental to you and the crew. As an actor, you should know that acting is the most important thing. The drama is as big as the sky. If you don't nod If you agree, then I think there is a possibility that the production team will be shut down. I think you don’t want to see such a thing, right?"

If Ye Ming said that he would not compromise, this matter really meant that it would not be able to end so easily for a while. Perhaps a Minority Report shutdown is the most likely outcome.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "Mr. Diller must have misunderstood this matter. As an actor, I obviously don't want to take advantage of the situation and increase my role. An actor in China once said that there are only small actors, not small actors." Role. Since my role has been decided, I won’t just ask to change it.

As for everyone answering reporters' questions in a unified manner, I think there is no problem with this. I also hope that the crew can resume filming as soon as possible. If there is a time when you need to face reporters, just inform me and I will face the reporters together with the director and other actors. But I don't want something like this to happen again. That's my only request. "

To be honest, Ye Ming's request is not excessive at all. It is a very reasonable request for an actor.

Diller's request to Ye Ming was very unexpected. In Diller's view, Ye Ming should have taken this opportunity to make more demands, but Ye Ming did not do so.

Not only was Diller very surprised by such a thing, but Spielberg was also very surprised by such a question. He nodded in shock and said: "Only There are no small roles for small actors. This is such a philosophical statement. Only actors with such a mentality can have the hope of becoming a superstar. I originally scolded me and thought that this matter might be leaked by Ye Ming himself. Well, it seems like it’s not him, it’s Jeffrey who is such an idiot.”

Diller also said with a smile: "When I heard this answer, I also thought it was not Ye Ming. He didn't have the time. You know, he just arrived in Hollywood. He even said he didn't know who was responsible for ordering lunch for your crew. , if Ye Ming can do this in such a short period of time, then he is not an actor, but the President of the United States.

Or maybe only the President of the United States can figure out the things about your crew in such a short period of time. By the way, Ye Ming compromised, but I don't want something like this to happen again next time. Otherwise, let alone me being unhappy, Mr. Murdoch will be unhappy as well, and when the time comes, both of us will be in trouble. "

If Murdoch is unhappy, Spielberg is almost certainly going to be unlucky. He never once doubted what would happen to him if Murdoch was unhappy.

Therefore, Spielberg said without thinking: "Don't worry, this time it was just an accident. This kind of thing won't happen next time.

The following content is free

Several readers have said that this is not written by the studio. Please explain, this seems a bit embarrassing. Is it still written by the studio with this amount of updates?

There are more than three million words, and there are too many stories. The outline is indeed a bit simpler, and I have forgotten some of them. A lot of it is kept in my mind, and sometimes there will be inconsistencies, but I think it shouldn't be too much. After all, I am quite familiar with the entertainment industry.

Generally, they are based on reality. Although they cannot completely describe reality, they are based on reality after all.

For example, Fox's full name should be 21st Century Fox, and their boss is indeed named Diller. For example, Murdoch did acquire Hughes Electronics in 2001. This all happened in reality.

For Hollywood content, try to give a detailed outline.

As for the contradiction, everyone focused on Wang Jinghua, a senior in the entertainment industry and a very capable manager.

People with means usually deal with the problem rather than the person, and can cooperate with Ye Ming if they have interests. But if Ye Ming's status threatens her as an artist, she will stand up like a child. In fact, Sister Hua herself is like this As for her personality, anyone who has been in contact with her can feel it. She is domineering, protective, and a tomboy. (To be continued)
