Chapter 1420: Domineering side leakage

[The remaining snow is still not gone, the cold winter is clear and cloudless, and there is no end in sight, so what can I say to soothe your heart? --Send off friends after snow】

Call Universal? Whether this matter is appropriate, Robert Cohen was a little hesitant: "Mr. Ye, I think there is no need to go to Universal to inquire about such a matter? After all, it is an internal matter for us. We can just solve it ourselves." , I always trouble Universal Corporation to tell others how to view our crew."

This is actually the prelude to being soft, so at this time, most people will take advantage of the situation, at least they will not continue to be tough.

But Ye Ming said rudely: "Solve it internally? Well, if you want to solve a problem like this internally, then I have nothing to say, but the key is, can you solve it internally? If so, If the contract can be changed, then I have nothing to do. The teams you invite should be treated like the main teams."

This problem makes director Rob Cohen a little helpless. He does not have such power. Before signing a contract, in fact, as a director, he has the power to decide who will be in the team.

But now the head office also knows about it and has approved it. Therefore, in such a situation, if it wants to modify the contract, it is not the director Rob Cohen who has the final say; The head office approved it. Therefore, at this moment, Rob Cohen could only say helplessly: "I still don't really have any good solution for this matter. If I want to change the contract, I really don't have the power."

Ye Ming immediately nodded and said, "Yeah, I think it's better to call Universal and ask them to handle this matter." With that, Ye Ming was about to make the call. Ke Shouliang was actually very touched at this moment. At such a critical moment, someone actually stood up to speak for him and secured enough benefits for himself. In this case, this matter was a huge favor. .

But David Bizarro is a little unhappy. In his opinion, his team is actually a world-class team.

As for the Ke Shouliang team that came from Hong Kong City, Bizarro said that he had never heard of this team. So, in Bizarro's words.

At this time, since you have never heard of the reputation of this team, now asking them to be a substitute is already a very face-saving thing.

Therefore, Bizarro immediately said: "Mr. Ye, I have something to do with this matter. It has already been decided that we will be the support team. Then at this time, we will add a new team. The same is also the support team. Then in such a team As for the problem, now that we want this team to become the main team, this is simply looking down on people."

In David Bizarro's view, if Ke Shouliang's team has really become the main team and is on an equal footing with his own team, then it would be a shame to spread the news. David Bizarro will not take Ke Shouliang into his heart. This is a kind of psychological contempt. Bizarro's goal is to be the top team in Hollywood and the top team in the world, and he has been working hard towards this goal. of.

Therefore, he would not pay attention to a convoy coming from a port city. But because he knew that in the crew, Ye Ming was actually the boss. Therefore, because Ke Shouliang’s team was invited by Ye Ming, Bizarro finally endured it when he heard that Ye Ming wanted Ke Shouliang’s team to be the main team as well. He couldn't help but speak out.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "I don't think there is anything inappropriate about this matter. We are filming a movie, so we will compare products and see who is more capable. We will use it. I am the one who calls the shots here, no matter what. If you are willing to play, you can leave directly. After I ask Alexander what he means, we will deal with this matter later."

Ye Ming was quick-tempered and kept his word. Therefore, in such a situation, he did not hesitate to call Alexander. At this moment, Alexander is actually working as a producer on another crew. He can't afford to offend me and can afford to hide. Therefore, at this time, Alexander was actually more wary of Ye Ming, and now that he saw Ye Ming's mobile phone number, he was shocked. In such a situation, it was obvious what kind of person this was. Ye Ming must be looking for him if there is serious trouble.

Although Alexander was reluctant to answer the phone, he still had no choice but to press the connect button.

Alexander asked tentatively: "Mr. Ye, I don't know if there is anything I can do to help."

This is naturally a tentative question to see if Ye Ming's request exceeds his own bottom line. If so, how should he deal with it.

Ye Ming said with a smile on the other side of the phone: "Mr. Alexander, in fact, if I knew that you are very busy with many things in the company, and whether there is a crew that you need to keep an eye on. Then I will keep the story short.

Our crew invited two teams today. What I mean is that both teams are support teams. If one is more capable, then in such an event, we will focus on which team to use.

Now, both should be the main teams, but Director Cohen said that the company means that one team will be the main team and the other will have spare tires. This is very different from my plan. I hope Mr. Alexander you can help solve this problem. "

This made Alexander angry for a while. This matter was decided by the company, so it was not easy to change such a matter.

At this moment, Alexander immediately said: "Mr. Ye, I actually know this. In a situation like this, I think there is a main force and a backup. This is standard in Hollywood. In fact, there is nothing wrong with it. No, there should be a company reason for doing this."

Obviously, Alexander would not care about such a change. It's not easy to change a top-tier contract. Moreover, Alexander is actually unwilling to change from the bottom of his heart. In fact, Alexander doesn't trust a Chinese team. It just means that he has made up his mind to not care about the Fast and Furious crew. .

So it doesn't matter much how the question seems to suit him as a producer. But I didn't expect that this matter would go round and round and finally fall to Alexander's side.

Ye Ming said without politeness at all: "It's impossible. Since the team is invited by everyone, they should be treated equally. Otherwise, everyone is the main team. Who performed better during the filming? In such a question, who is the real main team? Otherwise, then everyone is not the main team, they are all backups. It depends on the future results. If the results are good, the salary will be based on the main team. Otherwise, , then just deal with it casually. If you can't handle this matter, then I'll find someone else from Universal to handle it. Gentlemen, don't be so dithering."

What does the last sentence mean? In fact, Alexander is not very good at understanding it. And he said that he didn't have the heart to figure out the last sentence on such a question. Anyway, he could tell that Ye Ming was angry. Ye Ming was really angry at this time.

The meaning is obvious, it is an ultimatum. If Alexander cannot solve the problem at this time, then on such a matter, I will go to Universal's board of directors to solve the problem.

If other people said this, then Alexander might be a little suspicious at this time, but on such a question, if Ye Ming said this, then Alexander would not be at all suspicious. Ye Ming definitely has the qualifications to go to Universal's top management, and there is no problem even talking to Universal's leaders.

And Alexander felt as uncomfortable as eating dead flies at this moment. There is no doubt that if he dares to let things go, Ye Ming will definitely be able to make things worse at this time. Even if he doesn't want to take care of it, it's impossible, and this matter must be resolved to Ye Ming's satisfaction. Otherwise, on such an issue, it is estimated that Ye Ming will definitely continue to make trouble.

If the commotion continues like this, it is almost like making reporters laugh.

Other colleagues in Hollywood were originally waiting to see the jokes in Universal's second road movie, but now if the crew of The Fast and the Furious takes the initiative to reveal a joke, why won't reporters take the initiative to join in and write about it?

Therefore, Alexander immediately said: "Forget it, for a little thing, why make a fuss? We must find the company to solve it. Our crew can solve this problem ourselves. I will notify the company and ask them to send a copy After the new contract is over, since everyone is a stunt team, they are all treated as the main team.

Lest reporters find out and think that we are stingy at Universal and can’t even afford the price of a stunt team. "This matter is actually the result of Alexander having to compromise. After all, on such an issue, the team invited by Ye Ming was treated unfairly. If it were him, he would definitely be angry. .

Alexander believed without hesitation that if it were him, he would definitely be angry. No one heard this, so he nodded and said: "If it's true, that would be the best. You tell the other side to hurry up, should I wait here?"

After making the call, Ye Ming nodded with satisfaction and said, "Director, okay, the matter has been resolved. Mr. Alexander has already said that the new contract will be sent back immediately. We will just film the movie first." The Ke Shouliang Racing Team will enjoy the treatment of the main racing team from now on."

This is obvious when it comes to Rob Cohen and Morgan. Ye Ming has such a strength. As long as he is willing to do it like this, it means that he can definitely do it. Therefore, at this time, it seems that there is no problem for Rob Cohen and Morgan. But from Ke Shouliang's point of view, he is quite powerful. When Hong Kong stars come to Hollywood to film, except for Cheng Long, everyone else is basically very polite. Maybe Jet Li and Fa Ge can relax a little bit. , but I would never dare to yell at the crew. But Ye Ming actually called the producer and asked to change the contract if he was not satisfied. In such a matter, Ye Ming seemed to be more mysterious. In Hollywood, contracts are not so easy to sign, so,

It is precisely because both parties are more cautious when signing a contract. Therefore, in such a situation, if you want to modify the contract after signing a good contract, then on such an issue, things may That is to say, it will be more troublesome.

But Ye Ming called and asked for modifications, and they were modified directly. This speed was simply unprecedented. As another client, David Bizarro, seemed a little lonely at this time. Anyway, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

After all, at the beginning, I was invited as the main team. Therefore, in such a matter, my team should actually enjoy the treatment of starring in the crew. As for the Ke Shouliang Racing Team, which is a backup team, they are like a supporting role, and they may not even have the opportunity to appear on camera.

In fact, Bizarro has already made up his mind that he must perform well. As long as his team performs relatively well, then in such a matter, the director can not let the substitute Ke Shouliang team play. .

But looking at the results now, in the blink of an eye, the hen turned into a duck. The Ke Shouliang Racing Team, a little-known team whose name Bizarro had never even heard of, actually became the main team like a shared tenant. The result of this is a result that Bizarro would not want to see happen no matter what.

So at this moment Bizarro stood up and said: "Director, Mr. Ye, I'm afraid it's not good to do things like this. Everyone has to do things according to the contract. The contract says that we are the main team, but now it has become everyone's They are all the main teams, so when filming, it is not clear who is the main team and who is the substitute. How will the filming continue in the future?"

When shooting a movie version, there must be a priority. This is for sure. A movie without priority will definitely be a mess, making the audience unable to figure out the clue.

At this moment, Rob Cohen also secretly extended his three thumbs up and praised Bizarro, but he also felt deeply sorry for this guy. You had the courage to stand up and speak out about this matter, but you didn't. Look at the situation clearly.

The person you met is Ye Ming. Will a person like this reward you?

This is almost impossible. If Ye Ming is a reasonable person, then in such a matter, he will not change the contract temporarily at this time. Now if you tell Ye Ming this truth, it's definitely a trick to commit suicide.

If Ye Ming is not involved in anything related to China, he may be easier to talk to. But if he is involved in something related to China, such a thing will almost become a Ye Ming's bottom line. If anyone dares to touch this bottom line, it will definitely attract a strong counterattack from Ye Ming. (To be continued)
