Chapter 112 Jin Yong’s call

After the movie was played, he received thunderous applause.

It does take a lot of effort to make a literary film that can make people cry, and the crew of "No One Left Behind" tried their best to present an authentic artistic feast to everyone.

Off the stage, Zhang Yimou came to Ye Ming and said, "There is a thank you party tonight. I hope you can attend."

During the thank-you meeting, Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "Director Zhang, it seems this doesn't fit your style."

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "This is a charity movie, and we don't ask for any compensation, but the crew's food, drink, and diarrhea need money, and food, clothing, housing and transportation always cost money. Therefore, some people still sponsor it."

This is the meaning above, saying that it is to thank these people. Anyway, someone sponsored the thank you party, and it did not cost the crew a penny. You sang the theme song for the movie for free, so you are naturally invited. Tonight at 7:30 pm, I will be waiting for you in the Golden Hall of the International Hotel. "

In the afternoon, Ye Ming received a call from an unfamiliar phone number. Judging from the area code, it should be from Hong Kong City.

Hong Kong City, how many people do you know?

After the call was connected, a loud voice rang: "Ye Ming, how have you been lately? I often hear people around me talking about you these days."

Ye Ming immediately said politely: "Teacher Zha, you are so polite. I am just busy here, and I still can't take my time. Teacher Zha is calling me at this time. There should be something important. Just tell me if you have anything."

If Jin Yong's phone call can come at this time, it will naturally not be a casual call.

Sure enough, Jin Yong immediately changed the subject and said: "Actually, there is something wrong. It is about your book Wukong Biography. It has been reprinted three times, and more than 600,000 yuan has been paid to your account. Please pay attention. Check it out.

Also, a friend of mine came here some time ago, Christopher, a book agent from England. He saw your novel and thought it was very good and very attractive, with dramatic writing techniques and Eastern mythology. Therefore, he hopes that you can authorize the English version of the novel to him for publication. "

A flash of lightning flashed in Ye Ming's mind. It seemed that he had thought of something, but he could not grasp the key point. However, he subconsciously felt that this was an opportunity for him.

At that moment, Ye Ming tentatively said, "Teacher Cha, what do you mean?"

Jin Yong pondered for a while and said: "Actually, the four major classics are quite attractive abroad, especially Journey to the West, which is very popular. I think you can give it a try. After all, there is no loss for you. Really? If you are willing, I will send you the authorization letter and you can sign it."

At this time, after hearing Jin Yong's analysis, Ye Ming had no reason to refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.

Finally, Jin Yong also invited Ye Ming to come to Hong Kong City as soon as possible. Many readers really hope to see the author of "Wukong Biography" in person.

Later, Xu Zheng and Huang Bo called and said that things in Shancheng were ready. Everything was ready and they were waiting for Ye Ming to start the machine.

The two people meant to meet in the evening to discuss the movie.

However, Ye Ming didn't have time in the evening. It was a thank-you party for the movie "No one left behind".

As Zhang Yimou said, many people helped us during the filming of this movie. Naturally, we need to hold some thank you meetings to thank those who sponsored the crew. This kind of entertainment is indispensable in the entertainment industry. At least it is successful. Artists who often participate.

Originally, Ye Ming planned to discuss the movie with Xu Zheng and Huang Bo in the afternoon, but Sister Fang Fang grabbed the phone and said: "Xu Zheng, Ye Ming doesn't have much time this afternoon. Tomorrow, tomorrow Well, the movie hasn't started yet anyway. Who am I? I'm his agent."

After saying this, Sister Fang Fang hung up the phone very simply.

Ye Ming was a little unhappy now and said unconvinced: "Sister Fang Fang, can you please respect my personal space? What do you have to do in the afternoon? I don't remember what you have planned for the afternoon."

While driving, Sister Fang Fang rolled her eyes at him and said, "There are a lot of things you don't know. Is it the director Zhang you promised at the film appreciation party [No One Should Be Missed] tonight? You are going, what are your plans?" Go on, do you want to wear the clothes you are wearing now? Please, you are no longer the extravaganza you were a year ago. You have to wear formal clothes to attend the party. You must wear an evening dress, you know, otherwise you will wait to be interviewed by reporters tomorrow. Let’s hack you.”

It seemed like, well, that was indeed the case.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Then what kind of Baleno should I wear, Louis Vuitton?"

Sister Fang Fang hated the irony and said: "Formal wear, brand name, Baleno is casual wear, what about their dresses, forget it. There must be a lot of people wearing Louis Vuitton. I think I will go to Versace." , I have just contacted them about their experience. We went to their flagship store to buy a set of the latest styles. It is best to have unreleased styles.

Remember, you are now a top celebrity, and you represent the face of Yonghua. Therefore, your first time attending an event must not have any flaws in any small aspect. "

At Versace's flagship store, the receptionist greeted Sister Fang Fang and Ye Ming very politely.

The manager came over quickly and said very apologetically: "Miss Fang, I'm really sorry. There are only two unreleased men's clothing styles in our store. Yesterday, one piece was borrowed by Director Zhang Yimou. Today Director Chen Kaige lent another one, so we only have the latest style released. However, we only sold ten pieces of this released style. This is the eleventh piece."

Sister Fang Fang immediately said with a gloomy face: "When you called me, you said you had one. Why do you say it was borrowed now?"

The manager said calmly without any embarrassment: "That's because there was indeed an unreleased style at that time. However, director Chen Kaige came to borrow it in person, and we were too embarrassed to refuse."

That means, of course, that Ye Ming is no longer as famous as Chen Kaige. If it were Lucas or Spielberg, Versace would not dare to break his promise, or even take the initiative to deliver goods to his door.

This also fully proves one thing, in the entertainment industry, status determines everything.

Sister Fang Fang had no choice. If she changed to another brand now, it would be too late. Therefore, she could only hold her nose and admit it.

After the manager left, the waiter brought over an off-white Versace suit, which was noble, elegant, and exuding an aristocratic look.

However, the waiter did not leave immediately. Instead, he looked around and took out a dozen [Legendary] albums from another bag that had been hidden for a long time.

She lowered her voice and said, "Mr. Ye, we know you are coming, and several sisters want you to sign. I have been entrusted by everyone, and I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. I hope you can sign for us."

Ye Ming took over the pen with a smile and said: "Every album is a sign of the fans' support for me. Of course I will not refuse the opportunity to repay the fans."

The waiter put away the thick stack of albums and then said in an inaudible voice: "Actually, when Miss Fang Fang called, Director Chen Kaige happened to be bringing his wife to choose the products. It was originally His wife wanted to buy some of our Versace items, but when Director Chen heard that it was your agent, he decided to borrow another unreleased suit. Don’t say it was me. .”

After saying that, the waiter hid the bag containing the album, straightened his work clothes, and left as if nothing had happened.

Chen Kaige and Ye Ming glanced at Sister Fang Fang, who shrugged and said, "I didn't know there would be an ending like this. It seems that Director Chen's prejudice against you is not that big. "

This is obviously aimed at Ye Ming, but now Ye Ming really doesn't have any good counterattack means.

However, in the car, Ye Ming said very solemnly: "Sister Fang Fang, the remuneration for my novel has been paid, more than 600,000, so the film company [Crazy Stone] can start promoting it Yeah, we need to vigorously publicize it, it’s best if everyone knows about it.”

Since Chen Kaige was so good at what he did, Ye Ming was rude.

Don't think that Ye Ming doesn't know what Chen Kaige is busy with recently. Isn't it just his historical blockbuster? If you want to talk about other things, it's okay. Let's talk about the super historical blockbuster directed by Chen Kaige. Haha, for Director Chen Talking, talking too much will lead to tears.

Is writing novels so profitable?

Sister Fang Fang actually knew that Ye Ming had read a novel in Hong Kong City, but she never expected that a novel would actually make so much money, 600,000 yuan, which was like a money printing machine.

However, at this time, Ye Ming was thinking about how to block Chen Kaige's blockbuster. However, Chen Kaige's blockbuster has not been completed yet. His own plan is to spread the word by himself and make a new movie. So, , at this time, if it is based on Chen Kaige's character, he might choose to release it together with his first movie, intending to trample on his feet.

At least Chen Kaige must think that relying on his reputation as an international director, there is no big problem in trampling on a small-budget movie "Crazy Stone".

However, Chen Kaige would never have imagined that the "Crazy Stone" was not just a stone from the pit, but also a piece of precious and hard jade.

It is gold that always shines, and stones that always sing.

[Crazy Stone] will sing its own wonderful song.

As a result, Ye Ming stood at the party in the evening wearing an off-white Versace suit. (To be continued)
