Chapter 1,419 The dominance of the entertainment industry

[Misty rain fills the green willows, the winter snow has melted and the spring water is cold. The long street seems endless, and a spring breeze blows by the bridge. --Wandering Ziyin]

The Bizarro team came, and they were hosted by director Rob Cohen. As another team that was invited, Ke Shouliang's team also came with them. Although it was impossible for the director to entertain two teams at once, The person who received Ke Shouliang's motorcade was Ye Ming. Almost everyone in the crew knew that Ye Ming was the boss of the crew. It was just that under normal circumstances, Ye Ming was unwilling to take care of the crew's affairs.

From the opening ceremony of the crew, it can be seen how much energy Ye Ming has by inviting Schwarzenegger and Jackson. Can the crew invite these two superstars? That's impossible. Whether it's Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jackson, they are basically at a point where they may not be able to hire them later even with money.

Not to mention letting someone just play a supporting role, this is almost even more impossible, at least the director Rob Cohen doesn't have the face to do so.

Therefore, this matter was actually invited by Ye Ming. This is his ability. In fact, the people in Hollywood admire the most people who are capable. No matter how hyped they are, but in a situation like this, at this time , Ye Ming’s energy is enough to be respected by the crew.

Therefore, in fact, the boss of the crew is Ye Ming. Even Robert Cohen is very clear about this. The two outsiders, Bizarro Racing Team and Ke Shouliang Racing Team, are not very clear about it. They think that the director of the crew is naturally the biggest Yes, at least when the producer does not appear, the director should be the biggest person.

After Ke Shouliang arrived at the scene with his people, Ye Ming slowly came out of the dressing room and led his people to find Robert Cohen and said: "Director, this is our Ke Shouliang team from Hong Kong City. This is the captain Ke Shouliang. He is very famous. car stuntman."

The director felt a little unhappy. What was going on with these two teams coming together? Ke Shouliang's team was the backup team. In the current situation, the first team was not used yet. The backup team was pulled by you. Come out, this is a bit against the rules.

However, in a situation like this, Rob Cohen had nothing to say. In fact, no matter what the situation was, he still said very politely: "Welcome to any team that is filming our movie." Come, we are all very welcome, and as I said just now, as long as you can help our movie and shoot the shots we need, everything else will not be a problem."

At this time, Rob Cohen actually reiterated his point of view. I just said that I want results. As for the process, there is nothing to talk about. There is no need for process, only the result.

Morgan also followed up and said: "Everyone has said before that everything is based on the needs of the shooting. Since Mr. Ke has brought people here, we will prepare a convoy first. If there is any need, the crew will let you participate in the necessary work."

Ke Shouliang is actually mentally prepared for this matter. He is here to be a backup team. Speaking of his own stunt team from a port city, he is invited to Hollywood at this time to be the main stunt team. Ke Shouliang himself is also Not very trustworthy.

After all, Ke Shouliang is relatively clear about the traditions of the Western entertainment industry, which are relatively discriminatory against Chinese people, and even relatively discriminatory against yellow people. Therefore, in fact, when signing the contract, he already made it clear. Ke Shouliang Racing Team came to Hollywood to serve as a substitute team, which means that if there is a problem with Bizarro Racing Team, Ke Shouliang Racing Team will take over.

Therefore, Ke Shouliang Racing Team was not surprised by this, but said with certainty: "We will do our best..."

With these next words, Ye Ming didn't have to endure it to know that he was going all out to do what he should do, but this was not what Ye Ming needed. Ye Ming immediately interrupted Ke Shouliang and said: "Hide it, Morgan, this That’s not right, you said Mr. Ke’s team came here as a substitute team, right?”

When talking about this, Morgan actually felt the cold breath from Ye Ming's eyes. For a person like Ye Ming, despite his usual cheerfulness, it seemed that he didn't talk about anything. It's normal to keep it in mind, but if a person like this really loses his temper and becomes serious, it will definitely be a scary thing.

Therefore, at this time, Morgan seemed to feel that he was doing something wrong. Could it be that there was something wrong with what he said?

Because he was worried that he had said something wrong, Morgan immediately made a pause gesture, then took out a document from his bag, looked at it and said, "That's right, Mr. Ye Ming, we signed a contract." According to the contract, Mr. Ke’s team was invited as a substitute team, mainly because we were afraid that the Bizarro team would have some problems during the filming process, and a substitute team could take over to avoid delaying the filming.”

In fact, these words made Morgan fall into the ranks of two-faced people.

The Bizarro Racing Team is not in high definition. That means you look down on our Bizarro Racing Team. You haven’t started filming yet. In such a situation, you actually said that you hope that we, the Bizarro Racing Team, If there is a problem with the team, what are you worried about?

As for Ke Shouliang's team, naturally it was not easy to accept the fact that he was writing in front of the public. Although such a thing is a fact, there are some things that everyone can actually do but cannot say openly.

Therefore, at this time, not only the Ke Shouliang Racing Team, but also the people of the Bizarro Racing Team felt uncomfortable. At this time, the most unhappy person in his heart was naturally Ye Ming.

At this moment, he said angrily: "I don't think very well about this matter. Didn't I say that the Chinese team will also be invited as the main team? Your contract actually stated that Mr. Ke's The team came as a substitute. Didn't you take my words to heart and think that my words are not very important, so you changed the contract without authorization?"

This is what Ye Ming is very unhappy about. After all, as a team invited by Ye Ming himself, in such a situation, he is actually a substitute. Where do you want Ye Ming to put his own face? Like this One thing, that is definitely the kind of reason that can make Ye Ming go crazy. Morgan had already seen the signs of Ye Ming's rage.

Therefore, at this moment, Morgan immediately said: "Mr. Ye, don't be angry about such a thing. In fact, such a thing has nothing to do with me. This job with GM is not done by me, let alone the director. What we did was a contract that Universal had already made. This had already been decided by the people above. That was how it was at the time, and I had no right to change it."

Ke Shouliang opened his mouth to say something, but after all, he was talking about being able to go to Hollywood. This was already a good start for Ke Shouliang's stunt team. If there is a conflict with the crew at this time, it seems like the impact will not be too great. You, a convoy that just arrived in Hollywood, actually obeyed the crew's arrangements without saying anything. This can immediately leave the impression of being unruly on the people in Hollywood.

Therefore, Ke Shouliang did not want such a thing to happen. If he said that he could use this opportunity to develop his stunt team in Hollywood, then this would be a very important matter for Ke Shouliang himself and Ke Shouliang's team. Therefore, what Ke Shouliang wanted to say when he opened his mouth probably meant nothing more than to put an end to the situation and let everyone just give in.

But for such a thing, although Ke Shouliang is willing to accept such a reality, in fact, even if he doesn't accept it, there is nothing he can do. After all, the contract has been signed. If you regret it now, you will have to pay liquidated damages. , that’s right, even if it is a substitute team, if it breaks the contract, it must be in accordance with the contract. According to the urine of the Hollywood crew, the liquidated damages must be set at a very high price.

But this is Ke Shouliang's idea. Ye Ming doesn't think so. Ke Shouliang's team was invited by himself. Therefore, in such a situation, he was actually regarded as a substitute. Therefore, in At this time, it wasn’t just Ke Shouliang’s team that lost face. Ye Ming also has no place to put his own face.

Therefore, Ye Ming immediately said: "I don't care about this matter. You call Alexander immediately. The contract must be modified and the treatment will be according to the main stunt team. Otherwise, we will not be finished with this matter. "At this time, even the handymen on the crew can hear what Ye Ming means by saying this. It's not over, it's definitely not over.

According to the extent of Ye Ming's frustration, he could not finish a matter like this, which was definitely a big deal for the crew.

Ye Ming is unwilling to challenge the director's authority. It's not that he is unable to challenge, but he is unwilling to challenge. But when the crew tries to challenge Ye Ming's authority, in such a situation, the matter is that Ye Ming is not willing to challenge. A problem that can be tolerated.

Just like this, Ye Ming said that he wanted to hire Ke Shouliang's team as the main team, but the crew actually signed a substitute team with Ke Shouliang's team. This was a loss of Ye Ming's face.

It would be strange if Ye Ming could finish this matter. Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense. Ye Ming was alone, and his domineering aura exuded, making the entire scene silent.

Ye Ming really never lost his temper on the set of Fast and Furious. Therefore, although he is very high-profile, not only as the leading actor, but also as a producer, and he is also a billionaire, but in fact, few people really sincerely I respect him because Ye Ming is a person who is easy to get along with and he feels very approachable.

Therefore, he has the highest status in the crew, but in terms of prestige, he is relatively lacking. No one would respect Ye Ming very much.

After all, the impression Ye Ming has given everyone so far is that of a good gentleman, with the humility unique to Eastern people. But such an attitude is actually an illusion. If Alexander, Takanobu Ito and others knew about the evaluation of Ye Ming by the staff of the Fast and Furious crew, then when he was like this It is estimated that a mouthful of blood can be sprayed far away.

Can a cunning and vicious person like Ye Ming be considered a good person? If he were a good person, there would be no profiteers in the world.

Ye Ming's shrewdness in doing business seems a bit scary. For a movie like this that was not very good and was favored by people in Hollywood, Ye Ming finally got more than 20 million in advertising fees. This is not something that everyone can possess. This is just Ye Ming taking advantage of Honda, Toyota, Hyundai and other companies' eagerness to dominate Hollywood.

No matter how fast and furious it is, it is not favored by Hollywood people, but no matter what it is, it is still a Hollywood movie, right?

And in terms of investment, it is also a Hollywood A-level production. Therefore, even if a movie like this can be released, it is quite rare for Asian companies. If Hollywood can make a positive publicity for its products, then not all companies can find opportunities in such a thing.

Moreover, Fast and Furious itself is a road movie, which is indeed very suitable for car advertising. Anyway, people like this look to Ito Takanobu and others. That's a profiteer. From Alexander's point of view, Ye Ming started investing in this movie and ended up getting the subsequent copyright.

Although Alexander doesn't know why Ye Ming has so much confidence and thinks that Fast and Furious is worthy of filming a sequel, but now, Alexander just feels that Ye Ming is definitely a profiteer, the kind of person who can't A profiteer measured by age. If it weren't for profiteers, it would be impossible to turn Universal around.

Therefore, the staff of the Fast and Furious crew thought that Ye Ming was a good person, but that was actually an illusion. They did not see Ye Ming's cunning side, nor his angry side.

But today, Ye Ming really got angry. The powerful momentum like a volcanic eruption made everyone feel it. If Ye Ming loses his temper, it is probably not something Rob Cohen can bear.

Ye Ming, the star and investor of The Fast and the Furious, truly demonstrated his absolute dominance over the crew.
