Chapter 1,171 Hollywood, here I come.

No matter how beautifully designed the RMB fifty is, it will not be as flattering as the RMB one hundred.

This statement still fully explains a problem, that is to say. The greater the value of your existence, the greater the energy you exude at this time.

Everything is based on equivalence, everything is based on level.

It's like saying that Na Ying, Princess and Ye Ming are good friends. Even if they rarely see each other twice a year, they always have a lively conversation every time they see them.

Because the status of the two parties is poor and protected, the princess and Na Ying are both queens, and Ye Ming is a king-level existence no matter what.

The status of both parties in the entertainment industry is almost the same. Therefore, their common strength is the key to their ability to become friends.

Strength determines your status in the entertainment industry. Just like Ye Ming, although he also does variety shows, he is still ranked last among variety shows in the entertainment industry, but this is his spare time job.

Running Brothers is more about taking care of the company's artists and giving them a good platform. The ratings for Yuncheng's Water Margin album this time are not particularly dazzling, but they are already higher than the other episodes of Running Brothers. But don't forget that Jackson is here this time. Therefore, the ratings cannot be let down. Ye Ming was satisfied. It might not be suitable for this show to invite big foreign stars.

After careful consideration, he began to give up his plan to invite some of his foreign celebrity acquaintances.

Moreover, the remaining episodes of the program were filmed as quickly as possible. In just ten days, the filming of "Running Brothers" was completed.

Even Sister Fang Fang said that Ye Ming was very desperate. The tired Ye Ming held his passport and stood at the door of the airport. At this moment, Sister Fang Fang said worriedly: "You really don't need me to accompany you. Hollywood?"

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders, relaxed a little, and said as if a burden had been lifted: "It's really not necessary. Hollywood is actually like this. As long as you are familiar with the rules, there will be no problem. I don't care about Hollywood." It's quite familiar. But I'm worried about some things at home. It's really difficult for those people to have no one to restrain them.

Therefore, if you follow me, this company will be in chaos. You'd better stay and look after the house. I'll try to come back as soon as possible. Of course, it depends on the situation at that time. "

Ye Ming boarded the plane easily. No reporter would have thought that Ye Ming would leave so fast. He even said that the filming of "Running Brothers" was completed. At this time, many reporters were not very clear, but Ye Ming had to go to Hollywood. , because Emmerich had already called, asking Ye Ming to come for an interview at the designated time. This was an interview organized by Twentieth Century Fox. Emmerich even said on the phone that this interview may be the only interview.

The plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, and Emmerich drove a Ford that looked at least twenty years old to pick him up. If you look at it from the side, Emmerich is somewhat similar to Schwarzenegger. Of course, the governor's face is square, while Emmerich's director has a round face. Seeing Ye Ming coming alone with his luggage, Emmerich took off his sunglasses in surprise and said: "Dear Ye, don't tell me that you came alone. Where is your assistant and your agent? Could it be that Have they all abandoned you?"

Ye Ming punched Emmerich with a smile and said, "Don't talk nonsense. My company is full of things. It's not possible if I don't have a trustworthy person to take charge. My agent is helping me look after my house in the company." .As for assistants, do you think my popularity in the United States has reached the point where I need assistants?"

It seems that there is no such possibility. In such a situation, Emmerich said a little apologetically: "It's a pity. After the Oscars, you have some news. Best Supporting Actor, at most, you can win When you enter the mainstream media's attention in Hollywood, you must know that the best supporting actor award is one every year. It is not particularly rare in Hollywood, not to mention that you are an Asian.

Of course, this is a good stepping stone to let Hollywood know that there is an actor like you, but that's it. It doesn't really matter whether you have an assistant or not. Come on, I will take you to experience the scenery of Hollywood, Beverly Hills. But it’s a group of landmark buildings in Hollywood. "

Emmerich is a director who likes disaster movies very much. When he drives, the speed seems to be disaster level. Anyway, it is normal to drive to 120. This is definitely not what a normal driver can do. You must know that this is a Ford car with a history of 20 years. If he drives a Ford car, it is not certain that Emmerich can really fly into the sky in this situation.

Ye Ming sat in the car and said: "Roland, I really feel sad for your Ford car. You have been showing off your 20-year-old Ford car to me on the phone. With the way you drive it, It won’t take twenty years, just two years, and this car will go to see God.”

Emmerich said very happily: "Man, you are right. This is one of the ways I find inspiration. It's cool, isn't it? In fact, only the shell and frame of this Ford car are original. The rest All the parts have been replaced seven or eight times. God, I like the feeling of racing. It will put me in a wonderful state of thinking and bring me closer to God and Satan."

Ye Ming complained: "I think it's closer to Satan, right?"

Emmerich didn't seem to take such a thing seriously at all. He groaned and said, "I don't care about this. It doesn't matter whether it's God or Satan. Anyway, as long as it gives me enough inspiration, right?" There is a good solution to a problem like this. Many of the ideas in my movies were thought of while I was working on it."

Behind every master there is a special habit. As one of the top directors of disaster movies, it is normal for Emmerich to have some habits like this. But the speed of driving like this is really surprising. This is no different from seeking death.

Fortunately, Emmerich's driving skills are quite good. He perfectly demonstrated how a drag racing expert can control his car, driving at almost flying speeds on the road.

At this moment, Ye Ming really thought about what the outcome of this situation would be. The edge of life and death is often the time when some inspiration bursts out. At this time, Ye Ming had to admit that Emmerich had Roland Emmerich, who was a madman at that time, is indeed famous in Hollywood. His character and his works are equally famous.

As Emmerich drove, he said loudly: "This is America, a place where heaven and hell coexist."

It can be heard from these words that Emmerich does actually have some opinions on the United States. Of course, these can also be seen from his movies. This guy is a really crazy guy, a crazy genius.

Approaching Hollywood, there were more and more people racing. At this time, Emmerich lowered the speed. Of course, he only lowered the speed a little. It can be seen that he is still a person who can control himself.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "Roland, I know why no one came to pick me up with you. It turns out that they were scared away by you. If they said they could survive from your car, then... I can no longer be afraid of any difficulties in the world.”

Emmerich said very unhappily: "You know, you are spreading rumors? This is a rumor. Forget it, man, let's eat something first. How about hot dogs? How about fried chicken legs?"

Entering Hollywood, there is a place selling food on the roadside. This is really a feature of Hollywood, the largest and most prosperous film and television city in the world.

In this city, maybe if you meet someone casually, he might be a big shot at a film festival or something.

Maybe it's a producer, a director, or even meeting one or two Hollywood A-listers is not impossible. So don't get too weird here.

Ye Ming was really hungry. The American airline food was quite stingy and not enough to eat on the plane. Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming The first one walked into the fast food restaurant and chose two burgers, a bucket of chicken legs, and two Cokes.

Of course, when Ye Ming wanted to pay, Emmerich directly took out his credit card and sent it over. It seemed that this guy was very familiar with the clerk. While he picked up a chicken wing and ate it, he said, "Old John, what's going on in Hollywood these days?" If there is any news, please tell me."

Old John said while frying chicken wings: "If Hou Tian likes fighting in the nest, then the latest news is that the director of Hou Tian invited an Asian to audition. And the most important thing is that Warner Brothers seems to be interested in this person as well. Yes, Columbus has been waiting for you upstairs early.

The director of Harry Potter and the director of The Day After Tomorrow gathered together. I wonder if this is news? "

Emmerich was stunned. He stood there motionless for a long time before shouting loudly: "Old John is familiar with this. If you spread rumors, I will sue you for libel."

Old John didn't seem to care at all and said: "Do you still need me to suffer for your trivial things? Columbus knows more than you."

The change of topic was successful, and Emmerich immediately said: "Is that bastard Columbus? Old John, are you kidding?"

At this time, Columbus slowly walked down from upstairs and said: "Roland, I knew that this guy like you would come to Old John. Sure enough, I guessed it, didn't you? Ye, hello, do you have a day?" I’ve met you. I heard that you were doing a pretty good job on a variety show in China. Even Jackson was invited there, you were really interesting."

Columbus, the director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Ye Ming are also considered acquaintances. It can only be said that they are acquaintances. You must know that the relationship between Time Warner and Ye Ming is not very good. If it is not necessary, then Columbus will not take the initiative to contact Ye Ming at this time. Ye Ming is very confident when it comes to such a problem. Now that Columbus is trying his best to wait for him here, there must be some troublesome things.

Emmerich was unwilling to pay attention to this guy at all, but introduced: "Ye? Old John is a senior in our industry. The manager behind Lucas's Star Wars is Old John, and he is the same with many Hollywood star directors. The relationship is very strong.”

This is a master of Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger. In Hollywood, you really can't look down on others. After all, you really don't know how to find out whether a person has a huge background behind him in the same situation. of.

Ye Ming did not ignore Columbus, but smiled and said: "Thank you, Columbus, for coming here. Let me think about it, you are not willing to do it yourself?" This is definitely not what Columbus wants to come on his own. It must be Warner who forced Columbus to come. Come. After all, Columbo is not only the director of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone , but he's also a close friend of producer David Heyman.

It is said that Warner Bros. wanted to replace the director, but in the end David Heyman spoke up, and Columbus was able to stay and continue to direct Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

In fact, no matter how he said it, Columbus was a little embarrassed. He was indeed unwilling to come and face Ye Ming. At first, the relationship between him and Ye Ming was quite good, but later Ye Ming and Warner had a falling out, and Columbus was not a human being inside and out, so he deliberately alienated Ye Ming.

The result of this matter is that under such a situation, he chose Time Warner at this time, which was a wise choice.

But in Ye Ming's view, Columbus was a betrayal. Even if it was the premiere of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Ye Ming was not invited there. This was a deliberate attempt to alienate Ye Ming. Warner is also willing for something like this to happen. Meeting Ye Ming again at this time would be somewhat embarrassing.

At this moment, Columbus said awkwardly: "In fact, I am very helpless about this matter. You also know that there are some problems that are beyond my control as a director. Let alone me, even my partner David Heiman actually has no solution for such a thing. Therefore, on such a problem, I can only express regret.

And this time, I actually want to talk to you about something like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Some problems require your own action to solve them.

Of course, this is considered a private contact with me. The specific matter is for you to discuss with Warner. I am nothing but a lobbyist. Yes, in Chinese terms, I am a lobbyist. "

Lobbyist, it's rare for Columbus to know such a term. It shows that he did a lot of homework when he came. (To be continued)
