Chapter 1401 Everyone has their own agenda

[After the weather clears, the autumn dew is difficult to collect, the fallen leaves rustle, frost stains the hair, and the setting sun chases the water. Over the years, I feel even more melancholy, and the new moon is like a hook. --The new moon is like a hook]

Ye Ming is not afraid of anyone when it comes to playing with technology, even Industrial Magic, a top special effects production company in Hollywood.

If you are talking about playing with technology, then no one can be the opponent of the system. This system is the super system of the future. Ye Ming sometimes doubts whether this system is artificial intelligence. Just when Ye Ming was thinking about this, the system replied [The system is not artificial intelligence. It is still far away from real artificial intelligence. This system only imitates part of the artificial intelligence program. Assist the host to complete the imperial hegemony of dominating the entertainment industry. 】

Let me go. To be honest, Ye Ming was surprised when he heard this. In such a situation, he did not expect that the system would actively answer his questions.

As Ye Ming's acting skills continue to improve, at this time, he already knows very well that sometimes he has to rely on the system. This is unchangeable. After all, Ye Ming needs to face the forces he wants to dominate the entertainment industry. It is not generally powerful. If it is Ye Ming himself, then on such a problem, no matter how it is said, Ye Ming basically has no chance of winning at this time.

The struggle of capital is always so naked. If Ye Ming's Brilliant Film and Television Brilliant Network did not have the black technology provided by the system, it would have been taken down by Wall Street long ago. Even if it was lucky enough not to be taken down by Wall Street, then On such an issue, in fact, it is more to say that on such an issue, he himself will be dealt with by the White House.

But now, Ye Ming has black technology provided by the system. At this time, the patent of video technology makes Ye Ming invincible. This is Ye Ming's confidence. Therefore, sometimes you should rely on the system, but now Ye Ming wants to hone his acting skills more and more by himself. In fact, when it comes to becoming a movie star, you need to hone your acting skills.

Therefore, in recent times, Ye Ming generally said that he did not care about the system very much when it came to a question like this. However, he did not expect that the system would actually answer a question like this on his own initiative. .

However, Ye Ming didn't take it seriously. The system was not artificial intelligence, but it was a similar program that would help him analyze and how to deal with difficulties.

At this moment, Ye Ming nodded and said: "This is what you should do. Shop around. This applies to any crew. The special effects in Hollywood are not made by Industrial Magic, right? Therefore, the crew can choose some relatively top-notch special effects." Companies, let’s compare them. If we have a comparison, then there is a gap in such a thing. Therefore, at this time, I suggest that Universal still find a few more reliable companies.”

Although Industrial Magic is one of the top special effects companies in Hollywood, it is impossible for it to monopolize special effects no matter what. Therefore, other companies also have good special effects teams, such as DreamWorks, which owns There is a relatively good team, but this team has not established an independent company. They are part of DreamWorks, and they are considered a top team in special effects.

For example, for The Terminator, some of the special effects artists were made by this team under DreamWorks. Alexander nodded and said, "Since that's the case, there's not much of a problem."

This really doesn’t have much of a problem. If Ye Ming didn’t propose it like this, then on such a matter, Alexander actually knew that Universal Pictures would do it in this way, but Ye Ming took the initiative to propose it. If it is done like this, there is only one possibility for such a thing, that is, the special effects methods of Ye Ming's Brilliant Film and Television will not be worse than other companies. Real gold is not afraid of fire. In fact, it is said It's a similar situation.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Actually, if it is said that according to the contract, it is not impossible for me to decide such a thing on my own, but if it is said that everyone cooperates, it will naturally look like cooperation. This is to express my sincerity , I hope that Universal will also express its sincerity."

Ye Ming acted like this, naturally he wanted to tell Universal that Alexander was also an old fox. He quickly understood what Ye Ming did like this, and nodded and said: "Don't worry. , since Universal and Mr. Madoff have entrusted you with such a matter, then on such an issue, this means that our two families believe in you, Mr. Ye. You see, we As a producer, I basically don’t interfere with the crew. This is a bit of a bad rule in Hollywood. Therefore, when it comes to such a matter, we at Universal will express our sincerity enough. In the future We will do our best to do the logistical work. For a matter like this, it will also allow your crew to film with peace of mind, and you will not encounter anyone who will casually interfere with the crew's filming. But when it comes to movies, Universal will follow the pace."

Decentralization, this is what Ye Ming wants. Just like this time, when he saw that the crew actually made so much advertising money, Universal actually wanted to borrow money at this time. Are you embarrassed?

This thing is simply impossible. Everything is done according to the contract. But this is not necessarily the case. If Ye Ming is not so strong, then on such an issue, the possibility of Universal lending the money is actually very high, although it will not be possible in the end. It is said that Universal will default on the debt because of this, but no matter what, if Universal takes away the money, it will be a big blow to the crew.

What Ye Ming meant when he said this was that he hoped Universal would not interfere casually in this matter. Alexander also understood this matter very well. In fact, if it were any person who controlled a crew, he would naturally not want to be disturbed. Seeing how dedicated Ye Ming was to this crew, Alexander knew that he could not refuse, otherwise, if Ye Ming turned against him, it would be of no benefit to anyone.

At this point, things are actually very simple. As a representative of Universal, he has also received certain authorization to maintain the relationship with Ye Ming within a certain range and not to offend Ye Ming. Looking at the current situation, in fact, in such a matter, That is to say, Ye Ming was in danger of falling out, so Alexander relented decisively.

But Alexander also said that Universal will not interfere casually in this matter, but it will not ignore the crew, but must be concerned about the progress of the crew. For example, the crew will not shoot until one-third or one-fourth of the time. When I was filming, I had to edit a demo for Universal and Madoff to watch. After all, as an investor, I need to know the filming progress of the crew. Not everyone is as good as Coppola. I am the progress of the crew. Take control yourself, your film and television company has no say.

The four legendary directors in Hollywood all have such rights, but for other directors, at least Rob Cohen must obey Universal's arrangements on such an issue. It is said that the progress must be reported to Universal. You know, this is also convenient for Universal to understand the general situation of the crew.

These are also unspoken rules in Hollywood. Not many crews can be above the film company. At least at this time, if the director of the crew has not reached the level of the four major panting directors, then in such a thing Above, everything is done obediently and according to the rules.

When it comes to an issue like this, the arrangement of some things is for everyone to compromise. No matter how it is done, it must be done according to the rules. If you don't reach the point of overriding the rules, then following the rules is the best option. Therefore, even if Ye Ming has a trump card, now is not the time to fall out, and he is still unwilling to fall out.

Therefore, at this moment, he did not even think about it: "There is no problem with this. Just like financial supervision, this is necessary. Not only for Universal, but even for Mr. Madoff, we will still choose a sample to send over." . This is a sign of respect for investors.”

After people give money, how the money is spent is what financial supervision has to do. And to what extent the crew has progressed, what will the crew do next? This is also something investors need to know. After all, It means that when it comes to such a problem, most of the Hollywood crews do this.

Ye Ming's approach made Alexander feel that he was doing a lot better as a middleman, so he left quickly.

Not to interfere in the crew's affairs is actually an explanation given by Universal to Ye Ming.

After Alexander left, Rob Cohen also came over. In fact, he could listen, but Rob Cohen didn't have the confidence like Ye Ming. If you can't know something, it's better not to know it. .

Especially looking at the current situation, the company's board of directors does not seem to have such a friendly attitude towards Ye Ming. Therefore, Rob Cohen believes that as a director, he is not aware of the intrigues between Ye Ming and the Universal board of directors. Comparatively better.

After all, it was said that on such an issue, he was still the director of Universal. After offending the boss above him, Ye Ming turned around and walked away. But as a director, he still wanted to make a living at Universal. . Therefore, he had no intention of participating in such a thing. When Alexander did leave by car, Rob Cohen slowly walked over.

There are some things that it is better not to know. Now if Ye Ming thinks that he should know, then he may still know about such a problem, and he will naturally tell himself. But if Ye Ming thinks he doesn't need to know, then Rob Cohen doesn't think it's better for him if he knows some of the secrets of the upper echelons.

I am just a director, not a gossip reporter for the paparazzi. Therefore, Rob Cohen walked over with a smile and said: "Brother Ye Ming, look at some of the changes in Alexander's expression. He was not very happy when he left. Did you start to quarrel while I was out drinking coffee? Is it okay?"

This Rob Cohen is very good at building relationships. Now he calls Ye Ming brother. Rob Cohen learned this from some colleagues in China. In the Chinese entertainment industry, if it is between two celebrities The relationship is relatively good, that is, they are called brothers and sisters. Therefore, from the perspective of Rob Cohen, on such an issue, he has a good relationship with Ye Ming, and it is said that in this way For a while, Ye Ming seemed to have gradually increased his control over the crew.

As a director, if he says that his relationship with Ye Ming is not good enough, it is obviously not a good idea. On such an issue, looking at Alexander's expression, it seemed that the outcome of the negotiation between the two people was an unhappy one.

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is not necessarily the case. Although everyone had some disputes during the discussion, overall, at a time like this, it was actually relatively smooth.

In short, everything is expected. "At this time, Ye Ming's words were relatively official, but even these official words made Rob Cohen feel that he saw hope in this matter.

Universal's interference in the crew is not ordinary. If there is no Ye Ming, then Rob Cohen believes that there is a possibility that he will be ignored. That's the way it is. The possibility of Rob Cohen being ousted by producer Alexander is very high, or even 100%. Although he is the director of the crew, it is probably Alexander who decides what to actually shoot and how to shoot it. .

But now that there is a powerful Ye Ming, when it comes to such a problem, Ye Ming definitely said that he would not easily let Alexander interfere with the crew's affairs.

This time Alexander came to the set arrogantly and asked for an increase in progress, but he did feel dejected when he finally left. Needless to say, this happened because Alexander suffered a loss from Ye Ming at this time.

If he didn't suffer from Ye Ming, then he wouldn't have cried when he left over something like this. Alexander, even in the company, is not generally strong. (To be continued)
