Chapter 1,242 Spielberg’s new movie

How long can the wind and rain street signs be hung, and how many patriotic old songs can be remembered?

And how long can fame in Hollywood last?

This is an important reason why Ye Ming hesitates.

For stars in Hollywood, if they don't often have works coming out, their fame will not last long. Even if he is now famous for winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, in two years, this fame may be gone. He became a very bland actor.

Even if he is an Oscar-winning actor of Nicolas Cage's caliber and was once a member of the 20 million-dollar salary club, how can a person like this show a decline in his acting skills?

But in fact, Nicolas Cage is such a person. Let alone one movie and the next, Cage's acting skills may be different. In one movie, the acting skills of the upper and lower movies may be different. There are also differences in the strength and weakness of Cage's acting skills.

In other words, Cage is an exciting actor. If interest comes, then under such circumstances, no matter what, he can be worthy of the 20 million salary.

But if he is not interested, then his performance is scummy and does not live up to his reputation. Therefore, Ye Ming knows that his fame in Hollywood may not last long, unless he has been performing in Hollywood works. .

But this time, things may be a little different. Regarding a question like this, in fact, no matter how it is said, the film Cat and Mouse Game is relatively creative, but in this case, It’s hard to say whether there will be a market for this kind of Internet movies.

If it is true that the investment in the movie is very large, then on a question like this, it naturally means that a superstar has joined the film. But this time the movie script has no guarantee of a bright future.

Therefore, if this movie invites superstars, it is difficult to say whether it can really succeed at this time. And this script is adapted from a real thing. The protagonist of this game is called Mitnick, one of the most famous hackers in the hacker world, known as the Gate of Hell. Websites such as the North American Air Protection System, Pacific Telephone Company, and the FBI were all hacked by Nick.

Super genius boy Mitnick. And this movie actually tells such a story. The real change has become a movie, but Ye Ming himself cannot guarantee whether there will be a market this time, and even Spielberg himself cannot guarantee it.

Therefore, if Ye Ming himself starred in this movie, then if the movie made money, then everything would be fine, and Ye Ming would be able to have a very good resume.

But if there is no success on such a problem, then this kind of failure will be quite a blow to Ye Ming. After all, when it comes to an issue like this, no matter how it is said, Hollywood has the right to fail. Directors have this kind of warning line, and actors actually also have this kind of warning line.

If an actor stars in two relatively bad money-losing movies in a row, his salary will generally drop by at least half. If the third movie is still not very profitable, then in such a thing, This actor will withdraw from the ranks of first-line actors.

And leaving the entertainment industry may be a better choice. A failed actor can even be said to be no better than a newcomer.

Directors and producers in Hollywood are generally quite superstitious and generally stay away from actors who have acted in money-losing movies. Regarding such a matter, Ye Ming himself was not sure whether the cat-and-mouse game was profitable.

However, in the end, Ye Ming hesitated and decided to participate in the audition. Notifying Sister Fang Fang to come, Sister Fang Fang nodded and said she would book a ticket to fly to the United States. But Ye Ming said: "We don't need to go to the United States to do this. We can go to Japan."

Sister Fang Fang said curiously: "The invitation sent by Director Spielberg, we are not going to the United States, but to Japan. Is Director Spielberg in Japan?"

Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's right, it's in Japan. Maybe many people don't believe this, but in fact it is true. Because one of the protagonists of this movie is Japanese, to be precise He is an American of Japanese descent, so at this time, Spielberg hopes that a Japanese, or at least an Asian, will star in this movie."

Therefore, when Spielberg came to Japan at this time, he actually came to select actors.

Since we are going to Japan to select actors at this time, if there is an actor in China that we recognize, we must grab it.

This is all about a true love for movies that bursts out from the heart. It is precisely because of this kind of kindness that Director Spielberg is able to shoot such good movies again and again. Come.

Strict requirements for movies are the same even for a small-budget movie.

Since the cat-and-mouse game is said to have been adapted from the Mitnick incident, naturally everyone knows who his terminator is.

The master who caught Mitnick, or discovered Mitnick, was Tsutomu Shimomura of Japanese descent, a computer security expert.

Because Hollywood superstars are not very willing to star in this movie. It is not a big-budget movie with no special effects. Even if the director is Spielberg, on this issue, it is It is difficult to say whether it will be successful or not.

Also, the other protagonist of this incident in history is Tsutomu Shimomura, a computer expert of Japanese descent. Therefore, it was precisely because of these two encounters that Spielberg thought of the other protagonist this time. Japanese, or rather Asian actors. This time he came to Japan for a reason.

The reason why Spielberg brought Ye Ming over was that he knew that Ye Ming's acting skills were very high and he was confident enough to be able to control such a role. If Ye Ming is more suitable, then he can be used.

Going to Japan to select actors was actually a psychological tactic used by Spielberg. He didn't want and knew that he needed an Asian actor like him. If he was like this, Ye Ming might ask for a high salary.

Now go to Japan and ask Ye Ming to come to Japan for an audition. If you do this, it will be a show of strength to Ye Ming. Moreover, on such an issue, it will also express your authority as a director.

Ye Ming didn't care about Spielberg's petty thoughts. Since he decided to audition, he had to make all preparations, such as booking air tickets and letting Sister Fang Fang do the work. He began to pay attention to Mi Tenike and Shimomura Tsutomu.

As an actor, if you want to play a historical figure, then it is very necessary to get to know this historical person at a time like this.

Ye Ming is doing this to prepare for his own audition. Although it is said that he cannot meet Mitnick in person, and it is not easy to meet Tsutomu Shimomura, but no matter how it is, from the perspective of history If you look at something like this from the data, then it seems to be more rigorous at this time.

Art is higher than life, but it comes from life after all. Understanding this person in history is very helpful in shaping the character you should have in the movie. Therefore, in such a situation, no matter what it is, at this time, the news came out that Ye Ming was going to audition for Spielberg's movie, which suddenly made the Chinese entertainment circle become excited. Woke up.

Among Chinese stars, not many can be invited to participate in Hollywood movies. If it is a Hollywood A-level movie, it is even rarer to do something like this.

Therefore, for an issue like this, there were a lot of reporters seeing him off. More than 30 reporters rushed to the airport to see him off. You must know that this was not a reporter invited by Ye Ming himself. There was no notice, but reporters from more than 30 media arrived. In such a matter, this is definitely a surprising number. A reporter immediately found out that Ye Ming was going to Japan, so the reporter also started asking questions on this issue.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "This time I am just going for an audition. There is no telling whether I will be able to participate in Mr. Spielberg's movie. Therefore, I am not 100% sure that I will meet him by chance." . Mr. Spielberg went to Japan to select actors. After arriving in Japan, he notified me that he hoped that I could rush over to meet and see if he was suitable to star in this movie."

Some reporters just couldn't see that Ye Ming had such an opportunity, and immediately asked if Spielberg looked down on Chinese people and why he didn't come to China to select actors. This is sowing discord. In any industry, people like this are indispensable, especially in the entertainment industry, where there are more people like this.

In such a situation, in fact, no matter what it is, on such a matter, Ye Ming has also seen the person who defends the wolf, so he said without hesitation: "This matter In fact, there is no such thing as looking down on someone and looking up to someone. In fact, Hollywood has never looked up to any filmmaker outside of Hollywood.

But in such a matter, some problems are actually our own fault. When Spielberg went to Japan, it was because the artists there met his requirements. If he didn't come to China, that's why we journalists should actually do it. Ask yourself, if our actors are relatively in line with the director's requirements, do you think he will not come? "

In fact, no matter how this question is put, it expresses one meaning, that is, this role is actually bound to an actor with acting skills. If it is a person without acting skills, then don't be embarrassed.

Seeing the depressed expressions of the reporters, Ye Ming immediately said: "Actually, this is an unspoken rule. Although it is obvious that it is not very good, it is an unspoken rule after all. Since we are playing this game in Hollywood, it is You must abide by the rules. Someone has said that if you are not strong enough to change the rules of the game, then either you are out, or you play according to the rules of the game.

Many of our actors have to learn to understand this before they can enter the market in Hollywood. "

Hollywood is not that easy to get involved with. Therefore, regarding a matter like this, Ye Ming’s own words were to warn the reporters at the scene, or to warn those colleagues in the Chinese entertainment industry that it is okay to want to go to Hollywood. , but you must see clearly how to play in Hollywood.

Another point is that in such a matter, Ye Ming is actually warned that although he has a golden finger, he must abide by the rules of the game in such a matter. Because an actor cannot always rely on golden fingers to break into Hollywood.

Therefore, what I said at the airport really shocked some people in the Chinese entertainment industry. Cheng Long, Brother Fa and others also expressed their support immediately, and Li Lianjie was promoting the movie Hero and was also being interviewed. At that time, he said on the spot that it is actually not that easy to get along in Hollywood. If you are not mentally prepared enough, it is better not to go to Hollywood casually.

Anyway, these three Chinese actors who are relatively marketable in Hollywood have maintained the same attitude as Ye Ming.

This matter has attracted a lot of attention from the Chinese entertainment industry. Therefore, those celebrities who are interested in entering the Hollywood market are actually beginning to become hesitant.

When Ye Ming arrived in Tokyo, in fact, the first person he saw was not Spielberg or a Japanese star, but Zhang Guorong, a star in Hong Kong. That's right, it was his brother Zhang Guorong. His brother fell into a low ebb due to some things. According to the trajectory of history, he would actually commit suicide by jumping off the building on April Fool's Day, but now because of Ye Ming's intervention, this thing will naturally not happen. And now judging from his brother's mental state in Japan, it can be seen that He doesn't look like the kind of person who said he would commit suicide by jumping off a building in a few days.

Therefore, he is also very happy about such a thing. Leslie Cheung is a great actor and a great singer. Regardless of some people's opinions on his personal life, he is actually relatively pure in Hong Kong. An artist. In the history of Hong Kong City, there are not many artists like this.
