Chapter 1,391 The courage of major Hollywood companies

【The most important thing is Yihong's love. I don't know how to end this love. The long years have nothing to do, and the scenery is no longer the same as before. --Excerpts from Autumn Meng Yin】

Michelle Rodriguez, this is a woman who is not willing to fail. She is not the kind to give up easily. She is a beauty who can rely on her face to make a living, but she wants to conquer Hollywood with her talent. I have to say that such an ambition is very great.

But no matter how it is said, her dream did not succeed in such a thing. In fact, if a woman like this uses her appearance to conquer Hollywood, that is the best choice. Therefore, at this point, the path she took was wrong.

Of course, Michelle now lacks an opportunity, a real opportunity to become famous in Hollywood. And now, the opportunity has come, Michelle seems to have had a premonition of something, in such a situation

Under this circumstance, she felt that the time had come for her to stand out. Whether she could soar into the sky in Hollywood would depend on whether Fast and Furious could succeed.

Universal's movie, with an investment of 50 million, is also a Hollywood A-level production.

Therefore, Michelle immediately found a nearby fashion store. It was very important to dress up and leave a good first impression on the crew. This is what an actress should consider.

Maybe it’s because an actor like Vin Diesel wants personality, but even if that’s the case, Vin Diesel dressed up well during the audition.

What's more, she is a female star. If she is slovenly, she will definitely not give a good impression to the crew. Therefore, at a time like this, Michelle is not stingy with her money at all and directly I visited some boutiques and tried to show my best.

It would definitely be surprising if a woman said she was ruthless. Michelle took action based on the fact that she was bankrupt. She felt that if she failed this time, the worst she could do would be to go back to being a bit player again. .

At this moment, Morgan put down the phone, went to Rob Cohen and Ye Ming and said, "You two, I have some good news for you. Michelle has been found. I couldn't get through to her cell phone before because she was filming in the mountains. , it’s Ye Mingxuan’s call. I’ve already told her that I want him to come to the crew to audition this afternoon.”

Rob Cohen nodded and said: "Hurry up and find all the actors. Then we can start shooting as soon as possible. Morgan, how are the other preparations for the crew, and the coordination between various departments also needs to be stepped up. In terms of time, if the actor's words are fulfilled, then we can start filming immediately."

Naturally, there is a running-in period between the crew. In fact, it is not just about the actors. Even among the staff, there must be a running-in period. Therefore, Rob Cohen feels, It was obvious that Ye Ming was wasting his time looking for actors. Naturally, he had to let the staff get used to it first, so that he could gain more time for filming.

Morgan immediately said: "Don't worry about this director. The company sent here are quite experienced staff, and it's not the same time we have cooperated. Therefore, there is not much problem in cooperation. Two or three Heaven is almost able to cooperate.

Therefore, the staff is almost ready. As long as the actors here are in place, they can definitely start shooting at any time at this time. "

This is actually one of the benefits of having the support of a large company. Although Universal is not very optimistic about Fast and Furious, it still must have the support it should give. After all, it is about an issue like this. Those big film and television companies, props, artists, lighting and other staff have cooperated for many times. Therefore, as long as there is a little running-in, there will be no big problems in the subsequent cooperation.

Among the eight major film companies in Hollywood, which company does not have several teams for filming?

These are some of the resources accumulated over the years, and they are also an important cornerstone for the eight major Hollywood companies to dominate Hollywood.

This job still made Rob Cohen very satisfied, and Ye Ming glanced at Morgan with interest and said: "Mr. Morgan, aren't you the screenwriter of the crew? What does it feel like to me at this time? You are the assistant director of the crew, or a stage manager.

You have to take care of everything, so what do our drama staff do? "

It can be seen at this time that Morgan has actually done more than what a screenwriter has to do. Morgan is the one who needs to find actors, and it also needs Morgan to work with the staff. It seems that Rob Cohen is more like a Throw away the big shopkeeper.

At this time, Rob Cohen said with a smile: "Morgan is indeed the screenwriter of our crew, but he is also the coordinating screenwriter. His rights in the crew are almost at the same level as the assistant director, second only to the director. What kind of things does he Everyone can intervene, as long as it has something to do with the filming, then Morgan is qualified to intervene."

Coordinating screenwriter, the name Ye Ming is understandable, but in the entertainment industry in China or in Hong Kong and other places, there are similar positions, but they are not called coordinating screenwriters, but called coordinators, screenwriters He is the screenwriter, the coordinator is the coordinator, this is irrelevant.

But if there are people like this in Hollywood who are multi-talented, that's normal.

After all, this is Hollywood, so if some professional talents appear in a place like this, it will be the accumulation of many years of Hollywood. A huge film industry machine like Hollywood is actually not fully started at the moment. Only when the filming of Fast and Furious begins, then on this swallow's problem, can people really Feel the powerful power of Hollywood industrial movies.

At this point, Ye Ming came here to learn that China needs such a professional spirit. To develop Chinese films, they have to go their own way in terms of content, but if it is about hardware, it must be We need to learn from Hollywood. On this point, some people with lofty ideals in China's entertainment industry have already realized this, but they want to immediately change some rules in China's entertainment industry. This matter still has a long way to go.

This is not a habit that is developed in a short period of time. Therefore, at a time like this, if you want to change it, it is not something that can be changed in a short period of time. Ye Ming is also very clear on this point.

He is in Hollywood now, just to learn some advanced experiences of Hollywood. As for the Chinese entertainment industry, it will be easy to find a development path in the near future, but he wants to take less steps. If there is a detour, it is very necessary to learn from some good hardware or something.

Ye Ming immediately said with a smile: "Mr. Morgan is multi-talented in one specialty. He is indeed a talent. Universal has to give a talent like you a salary increase." I don't know if this was intentional, but No matter what, these words gave Morgan some more thoughts. Although these thoughts may be small flames, a single spark can start a prairie fire. A little spark today may not be able to truly ignite when you encounter a suitable opportunity in the future.

Ye Ming's brilliant film and television is going to enter Hollywood. Strictly speaking, in fact, the eight major companies in Hollywood are basically Ye Ming's enemies. Even Disney, which mainly produces children's movies, is also Ye Ming's potential enemy.

Therefore, a person who can deceive Universal is considered a person. Moreover, Morgan is also a very powerful person. Although he is currently coordinating the screenwriting, he may have been anxious later when he saw that the screenwriting was not up to standard. Served as a screenwriter for the Fast and Furious film series.

Later, Fast and Furious 6 and 7 were both written by Morgan. Maybe Super 8 was also written by Morgan.

Anyway, this is quite an amazing talent. Ye Ming has the plan to recruit such a talent into his own company. The Fast and Furious movie is very profitable. Therefore, if it is said that in the end it can make Brilliance If it is produced by film and television, then even if Huihuang Film and Television in Hollywood will not be able to enter the top eight immediately, but no matter how it is, if it is self-installed, there will definitely be no problem for Huihuang Film and Television to make money.

Therefore, it is normal to deceive Morgan on one matter. In Hollywood, unscrupulous means are synonymous with big companies. Anyway, as long as the goal is achieved, it is normal to use some private means.

Morgan seemed a little thoughtful, but in the end he quickly said: "Whether or not to raise wages, that is the boss's final decision. We, the staff, actually just want to do our jobs well." . If you do it well, the boss will naturally not treat you badly."

Although he said this, Ye Ming also felt some uncomfortable expressions from Morgan's expression. Yes, if Suo Tao can make money, everyone would think so. Who would have a grudge against money? Now Universal has no plans to raise wages.

Now Morgan can't complain, after all, he has to work at Universal, but that doesn't mean that Morgan will definitely not hold grudges about things like this. Ye Ming glanced at Rob Cohen and said, "Director. I always thought Morgan was our screenwriter, but it doesn't look like that. Don't say that our crew doesn't have a screenwriter."

For a small-budget movie, the director may be able to concurrently serve as screenwriter or even art designer.

But if it was like a regular big drama group, then things like this wouldn't happen very often.

Of course, there may be such talents, and there are indeed directors and screenwriters in Hollywood. For example, Spielberg and Lucas like to do this. For example, the Terminator is the great god Cameron. This guy had a fever and dreamed of being chased by robots, and as a result, there were movies like the later classic Terminator.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for directors to concurrently serve as screenwriters, but absolutely not all directors can take on such a dual role. Obviously, Rob Cohen is not such a talented director.

At this time, Rob Cohen immediately said: "Of course there are screenwriters. In Hollywood, generally speaking, there are two types of screenwriters. One is the screenwriter who works with the team. If the director wants to make any changes, he can directly contact him. The main screenwriter becomes it.

There is also a script writer. At this time, the script writer may say that he writes a script and sells it to the film company. In this case, the film company also has the right to adapt it, and there is no problem in making any changes it wants.

Screenwriters: Most members of the Screenwriters Guild don't worry about not getting paid as long as a company asks for their scripts. In this regard, this is actually closer to a professional screenwriter. But writers like this usually don't follow the crew.

Unless the crew provides additional money. "

Naturally, there is also the co-ordinating screenwriter, just like the job Morgan is doing now. The co-ordinating screenwriter is to cooperate with the director to control the filming progress of the movie. This is a very unique position. Not all production crews have writers like this.

And in a situation like this, in fact, a script like Fast and Furious can be seen at a glance to be a very good script. As long as the director and the actors are not seeking death, then in a situation like this, a script of this level Once the script is filmed, the safety is very guaranteed.

At least you won't lose money.

Buying scripts is actually a very normal thing in Hollywood, and the most important party in this matter is the Writers Guild. People from the Writers Guild hand over the script to the Writers Guild, and the Writers Guild will make such decisions based on market conditions. One of his movie scripts is for sale.

As for Fast and Furious, speaking of it, this is how a script was actually obtained. Of course, even if the screenwriter said that he sold the script, on such an issue, he must have the right to authorize it. This is a must. of a thing.

In fact, when it comes to a question like this, what really makes money in movies is not the screenwriters, actors, or staff, but the movie companies. The ones who really take away most of the profits are the movie theater chains and movie companies. There are two types of corporate power.

At this time, Ye Ming had a deeper understanding of what kind of place Hollywood is. If you want to survive in such a place, it is not an easy thing. This is a very cruel and cruel thing. A scary place. (To be continued)
