Chapter 1,298 Ye Ming’s methods
Thousands of words turn into tears of farewell, the wheels slowly slide towards the journey of life, and thoughts turn into a piece of brocade. From now on, we will never forget each other. It's just a momentary touch, but it may become an unforgettable side hall for life. My youthful years gradually went further and further away with the passage of time. Hold on to the tail of this youth. In fact, it is like fine sand on your fingertips, gradually falling in front of your eyes.
Ye Ming is actually willing to take a gamble with his youth. No matter what it is, on a matter like this, it is a big gamble for him to take on Universal's movie this time. George gave some advice that an agent should have, but Ye Ming didn't agree with such a suggestion. When it comes to a problem like this, no matter what it is, I still have the advantage.
Therefore, Ye Ming said confidently: "Cooperation, in fact, still requires cooperation. There is no way to change this. I finally seized this opportunity, so naturally I will not give up easily. I will fight first." Give me a call and ask about the situation."
After dialing James' number, James said angrily: "Come on, brother, it's past one in the morning. Are you being honest and not letting me sleep?"
Only then did Ye Ming realize that it was indeed early morning in the United States. Unless you were a night owl, basically everyone in the United States was asleep now. Of course, lawyers are paid and serve their clients at all times.
But James is not the one who collects money. Of course he felt unhappy at this time. In fact, this was Ye Ming's phone call. He would have turned off most people's phones and thrown them into the trash can.
Ye Ming first got straight to the point and said: "Sorry, buddy, I really have something important to do today, and I must ask you for clarification. You should know about Universal's new movie Fast and Furious, right?"
James thought for a moment and then said: "Yes, I know, didn't you say that you have been recommended to Universal? Does it mean that under such a situation, at this time, Universal dares to say that it will not use you?"
This made James very angry. After all, James is the son of a tycoon, and he is also quite famous in the United States. How dare people around the world deny him his face?
And if Ye Ming's investment is obtained, the risks on Global's side will be reduced a lot. Therefore, on a question like this, James believed that he was giving face to Universal by recommending Ye Ming. Do you think that Huihuang.com cooperates with people casually?
Judging from Ye Ming's tone at this time, it seemed that cooperation was not a pleasant experience. Ye Ming immediately explained: "This is not to say that the cooperation is not smooth at this time, but to say that the cooperation is relatively smooth. I am willing to offer 20 million to invest in this movie. By the way, what's going on with you over there? That’s it, you and Elizabeth’s movie is almost done in post-production. When will it be released?”
At this time, he was still very concerned about James's movies. This made James feel a lot better. He said easily: "Because the post-production was done while filming, so it was relatively fast. Now I have entered the stage." It's the final stage.
Do I know the same information about Elizabeth as I do? I guess it’s more likely that the two of us will be released together. This time it’s all about who can take the lead at the box office.
What is the situation over there? Why are you calling me in the middle of the night? "
In fact, if James is like this, some people will be quite angry. When it comes to epoxy auto-automation, in fact, Hollywood usually does some post-production work after shooting. If you do it while shooting, then it is a relatively unfair move. of.
Because if you do post-production and are not satisfied with your shooting, not only will it be a waste of money to re-shoot, but you will also have to do the post-production all over again.
Therefore, if you are doing post-production while shooting, it is definitely the behavior of a wealthy person to deal with such a problem. Ordinary people will not do this.
But James and Elizabeth are both rich and have no shortage of money. Therefore, when it comes to a problem like this, they dare to shoot and do it at the same time. Not to mention, this method is actually quite economical for everyone. Time. Of course, wasting some money is not in the eyes of James and Elizabeth at all.
They are people who are not short of money, so it is reasonable to say this. It is as simple as buying a piece of clothing. Ye Ming also understands this. Whoever has better box office will be able to gain points in front of Murdoch. Therefore, at this time, the two of them are actually quite competitive.
Ye Ming nodded and said: "Actually, you have to be careful about this. Your sister is not a fuel-efficient lamp. She dares to hack your father's money. Such a thing is not something an honest person would do. Your sister may It is not necessary to adopt some other methods.
As for me, as you said, it wasn't very smooth. This is something I didn't expect. I originally thought this was an opportunity, a good opportunity to get in. After all, it is rare for me to receive an invitation to star in a top Hollywood production.
But at this time, I didn't like another investor in the movie very much, and that person was Madoff. This old gentleman has intervened in the movie. I'm not worried about this unknown person. Please help me check to see if there is any news about Madoff. "
If you want to find out about Madoff at this time, it is very fast to find James. This guy has connections in the circle. If you want to find out some problems, it goes without saying. It is basically a matter of one sentence.
Of course, regarding such a problem, Ye Ming also expected that there must be a problem, so he asked James to investigate.
Sure enough, after James heard that the milk was paid, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "There is indeed a problem with this, and it is not an ordinary problem. What does Madoff say? It is quite eye-catching." My father is not very good at seeing through this person. The advice he gave me was not to play with Madoff casually. Since this matter has something to do with him, then you should be more careful and I will go. Ask if anyone knows anything about it. Anyway, remember, things are not that simple."
The old guy Murdoch must know some inside information, so he warned James not to play with Madoff on such a question. Ye Ming immediately responded to this matter and said, "You mean, Madoff is really kind. Didn't you hear some rumors?"
At this time, James hesitated and said: "There is no special news, but as for Madoff, in fact, no matter what he is, some people just look down on this guy, thinking that this guy's ability is just that little. But the bragging method is indeed quite powerful. In fact, her investment company basically makes no money, but his method of winning over people is still quite good.
There are very rich people who like to be with Madoff. But for most people in the circle, they are still not very optimistic about this guy. He is too impetuous and unreliable. Therefore, my old man doesn’t want me to play with him. If that’s the case, then you just don’t want to play with him. "
Ye Ming did not agree directly, but said: "It's just a movie shoot. I think I am very optimistic about this book. In terms of making money and so on, it is basically unmistakable. I am just not optimistic about this guy Madoff." .
Therefore, I would like to ask you to borrow your legal team. If it is not useful, it is best. Once it is useful, just ask the lawyer to come over directly. Your lawyer plus my lawyer should be enough to deal with this kind of situation.
No matter how cunning Madoff is, he cannot be more cunning than these lawyers. "
At this time, Ye Ming thought that if there was any problem with the crew, he would have to find a lawyer for such a matter. Ye Ming's own lawyer is good, and his company also has lawyers in the United States. In this case, even if there is any problem, it is relatively easy to litigate. It is very convenient to act in the United States with a lawyer.
Therefore, James immediately said: "There is no problem with this, but why do you have to participate in the investment of this movie?
Does that mean you really think so highly of that script? "Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Of course, I paid a little attention to the book. It's a good book, but it's not easy to shoot it now. By the way, since Madoff is also involved.
When it comes to an issue like this, I have to be careful. I invested 20 million myself. Please give me your endorsement. I also checked it according to the regulations. It should not be a big problem. But in such a matter, I have to design a line of defense for myself, and your News Group is my backer. If there is any problem with Yiyi, then in such a situation, I will be considered No worries. "
Backers, every star in Hollywood actually has his own backers. To put it differently, if you don’t have a backer, you are just waiting for others to bully you. Although Ye Ming has his own website, Huihuang.com is still very attractive to the entertainment industry.
But for people like Madoff who are not in the entertainment industry, Ye Ming's influence is indeed just a little bit behind. But if it is said that Ye Ming has involved Murdoch's News Corporation, then the matter will be easier to solve.
Therefore, on a question like this, Ye Mingcai asked some things about James Madoff, and borrowed lawyers from News Corporation. Nothing is best. Once any problem arises, these lawyers will be available.
Although Ye Ming had to pay for the lawyer himself, not everyone could afford News Corporation's lawyers. It is already very good for James to be able to lend out his lawyer.
In such a situation, things will become relatively within Ye Ming's control.
After closing the phone, George immediately looked at Ye Ming with wide eyes and said, "Is this the end of Mr. Ye? Were you just on the phone with James, the future heir of News Corporation?"
This is very surprising. George knew that Ye Ming and James had a good relationship, but he didn't know that the relationship was already so good. He directly lent News Corporation's lawyer, and even pulled News Corporation to do it. Backer, things like this are a big deal.
But the key is to listen to Ye Ming's words. Ye Ming didn't take such a thing seriously at all and took it for granted. Looking at James's reaction, he didn't hesitate to deal with such a thing. Agree, then in a question like this, it means that Ye Ming is a person that James values very much.
Thinking about a person like this, it is not a big surprise to cooperate with Madoff. Ye Ming nodded and said: "What a big deal. Let Alexander and Cohen come over and sign the contract later."
Naturally, during the process of hiring people, Ye Ming still called his own lawyer in the United States. He was very cautious about such a matter. Even if there was a back-up, it still depended on whether the contract complied with the regulations. ah.
Fortunately, Alexander also wanted to cooperate with Ye Ming. Therefore, in terms of the contract, he did it quite authentically. He believed that under such a situation, cooperating with Ye Ming was more in line with Universal's interests. The contract given It is also relatively loose.
After Alexander and Cohen walked in, Ye Ming stood up with a smile and said: "Mr. Alexander, Director Cohen, my lawyer has already read our contract, and basically there is no big problem.
In such a situation, we add the clause that the right to choose the starring role belongs to me, and the contract can be signed. Regarding funding issues, I will ask someone from our company to contact Universal. When the time comes, just follow the rules of Hollywood. "
Ye Ming found James from News Corporation as a foreign aid. Not only did he get to know Madoff, but he also got News Corporation as a backer. He would not say it casually at this time. After all, it was said in this situation. On one issue, he thought this was a trump card. If there were no problems with cooperation, there would be no need to use this trump card.
But if it is used, then catching him off guard can truly reflect the power of the lawyer. At this point, Ye Mingke can be said to have the expression of sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai. Alexander and Cohen never expected that Ye Ming would find foreign aid again. (To be continued)
