Chapter 1,431 An actor who is neither good nor bad

[The willows are sprouting new green, and the morning breeze blows the cold moon. Take pity on the people in front of you, in a hurry and over the years. --Xi Yuan】

Morgan is indeed a good old man, which is also a key reason why he can always cooperate with Rob Cohen. If Morgan didn't have a good temper, he wouldn't be able to stand Rob Cohen's temper.

Therefore, Vin Diesel said he wanted to ask for Ye Ming's phone number, and Morgan gave it directly. Moreover, the number he gave was not a company phone number, but a personal phone number that he could tell at a glance.

Ye Ming didn't expect Vin Diesel to call him. After hearing that the caller was Vin Diesel, he was surprised and said: "Diesel, my man, you call me at this time. This is really true." I didn't expect it, I thought you went to find another crew?"

Vin Diesel also said more directly: "Ye, Michelle, Jordana, I are together now. We originally planned to find other crews to see if we were lucky enough to meet one. A good character. However, we are a little confused as to what the specific direction should be next.

Therefore, now we are a little undecided and come to you to ask how we should deal with this situation. We are all at the Golden Sail Cafe now. Come and sit. "

This situation is actually very simple for everyone. The filming of Fast and Furious has just finished, and Vin Diesel, Michelle and others have not really come out of it, and they are confused about the future.

Because Fast and Furious has not been aired yet, these three people are not famous now, but now because they are filming in a big crew, they have developed a habit of not being willing to go to the comedy crew. In the big crew, one of them is not famous, and the other is Without any backers, it is impossible for all those big crews to look for Vin Diesel and others to film like Ye Ming.

Therefore, they are indeed in a dilemma as to what they should do now.

Ye Ming felt that there was nothing else to do, so he nodded immediately and said: "That's no problem, is it Golden Sail Coffee? I'll be there right away, you guys wait."

Arriving at the Golden Sail Cafe, Ye Ming quickly found Vin Diesel and others.

Seeing Ye Ming coming over, Vin Diesel greeted Ye Ming and said: "Ye, I heard that you had returned to China, but I didn't expect that you were still in Hollywood. Fortunately, I asked Morgan to ask you to call me, otherwise I would still have I really can’t find you. Otherwise we might have gone to China and we would have missed you.”

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Actually, I planned to leave, but I encountered some small things here, so I was delayed. However, if you don't call me, then I may leave today. I’m leaving, I still have a lot of things to do over in China, and I haven’t been back to deal with them for a long time.”

Michelle said: "Ye, speaking of you, you are just a bystander. At that time, you were the one who decided to hire us to act in this movie. We also knew very well that without you, then we wanted to be in Speed There are acting opportunities in the movie Passion.

You said at that time that we were quite suitable for such a role. At this time, what I want to know is, why did you say that we were quite suitable for such a role? "

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "It feels like, you know, as a director, I have also made movies, and the box office performance is also good in the Asia-Pacific region.

As an actor, I have acted in many dramas. What kind of person is my opponent? What kind of actor is suitable to play my opponent.

As an experienced actor, I can tell this at a glance, not to mention knowing it, but at least I can feel whether a person is suitable to play with me and whether he is suitable for the role in the script. As for other things, I really haven't thought about it. Fame or something, I don't think this is important.

Of course, I don't object to the use of famous actors. If you are talking about big stars, there are naturally the benefits of big stars. After all, in a matter like this, the box office appeal of stars lies there.

But if we are talking about starting from a character, I think a more suitable actor is the key. In a situation like this, you are chosen. "

Ye Ming cannot say at this time, I just know that you are suitable for starring in this movie. This is your role. I believe that only you can play it better. Of course he wouldn't say that.

Michelle said helplessly: "Looking at it this way, you should think very highly of us, but we are actually in a confused state now, and we don't know how to proceed.

We didn’t want to go to the small crew, but we wanted to fight the crew because we didn’t have a big reputation, so we, the big crew, didn’t have much chance in something like this.

In fact, it's true in Hollywood. If you don't have any reputation and don't have any connections, you won't have any chance to gain a foothold in a big film crew. "

Ye Ming said with great certainty: "Michelle, in fact, it is very dangerous for you to be in such a state. It is even said that in such a situation, after this operation, you and Vin Diesel Both of them are relatively dangerous. As an actor, you should be in such a state of being unable to perform.

There is a saying in the entertainment industry that there are only small actors and no small roles. If an actor wants to be a big star, or even a great star like Parker, then he must remember that any role is very important to you, no matter what the role is. Supporting roles or protagonists are all a test for actors.

For example, Morgan Freeman, an old actor, has been playing supporting roles for almost his whole life. He has only played a few starring roles, but he is such a person. He is called the uncrowned king by Hollywood people. Such a praise is The greatest compliment to her for her conscientious performance in every role.

Therefore, there are only small actors and no small roles. If the two of you can understand this well, then it is quite dangerous to deal with such a matter. "

Think about it, there is an actor who even talks nonsense about an actor who is not very famous. Then when it comes to such a question, he still thinks about being picky. How can such a person be able to be in a cruel place like Hollywood? The place continues to get mixed up.

Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming bluntly pointed out the chaotic state that Vin Diesel and Michelle were in.

Indeed, Vin Diesel and Michelle are in a state of chaos now, and some of them can't figure out their positions clearly. It's always the attitude of "doing too much".

Vin Diesel nodded and said: "|It's not wrong, it's almost the same. In fact, I'm in this state. In the past, I had no problem even if I was asked to be a supporting actor for a small crew, even if I was only given a hundred yuan, no I can do any lines, but now, it seems, facing a role like this, I have no interest in it. I think that I am the leading role, so if I get the next one, even if I am not the leading role. , but in such a situation, it will definitely become an important supporting role.

Ye, you are really very clear about a matter like this. We found you directly, and we really did the right thing. Those in authority are obsessed with things, but onlookers know clearly. The three of us are now the authorities, and you are the bystander. "

Ye Ming's advice to Chang Hu Lai was indeed quite sincere, and in such a situation, Ye Ming seemed to be very clear-minded about such matters.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Actually, I am very familiar with this kind of thing. I have been in a situation like yours before. I am not famous, but I starred in another movie. The protagonist of the TV series.

Therefore, at that time, I felt that I was born to eat this bowl of rice. In such a situation, I thought that I could be even more starry. But it didn’t work out like this. After I played that role, I didn’t have much choice until it was released on TV.

By the way, the TV series I starred in is our Chinese drama [Huanzhugege]. "

There are many classic TV series in history, but there are really not many that can reach the level of a miracle drama, especially the ratings of "Returning the Pearl", which made the protagonist and supporting actors popular. Anyway, in terms of ratings, "Returning the Pearl" Gege is a character that has been impossible to replicate so far.

Some actors, after twenty years, are still relying on the fame of their roles in Princess Fairy the Princess.

Therefore, in such a situation, you should not underestimate the influence of Huanzhugege. You must know that in such a situation, Americans do not like Chinese TV series and maybe some movies. It is a genre that Americans like, such as Chinese kung fu movies, etc., but there are not many TV series that have actually been reported. My Fair Princess is a classic Chinese TV series that has been reported by the American media. From this point of view, you can watch it. Come out, this brother Huan is so classic.

So much so that when Huanzhugege was aired, a working man went to his neighbor's house to watch TV. However, his neighbor was old and didn't like such noisy TV series and liked to watch Peking opera. Therefore, he often directly watched it at critical moments. Changing the channel, this news made the workers very dissatisfied, so they stole the TV.

Later, the police were dumbfounded by this excuse.

But no matter what it is, in terms of such a good thing, My Fair Princess is indeed a classic, and it is one of the few Chinese TV dramas that Americans have heard of.

Of course, some colleagues in the United States also know how popular Huanzhugege is.

It's just a king who found a love outside, and then an illegitimate daughter came to recognize him, and it was just a bloody palace drama. Foreigners really don’t understand Huanzhugege, but foreigners just know a little bit about it.

That is to say, Huanzhugege is very popular, and this is enough. Vin Diesel nodded and said, "Brother, that's a mouthful, but I've heard of this TV series. I heard it's a very popular TV series in China."

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "It's no less popular than your Simpsons."

The Simpsons, a classic American TV series, one of the longest-lived dramas. Of course Princess Huanzhu did not live that long, but the influence of Princess Huanzhu in China is similar to the classic status of The Simpsons in the hearts of Americans.

Vin Diesel shrugged and said, "Maybe so. How did you overcome the situation at that time?"

Ye Ming said with some pride: "Actually, I am relatively lucky. After Huanzhugege, I also encountered very good movie and TV drama scripts. Later, I acquired my original film company and became my own boss. Later, I founded Huihuanghui Internet, and then, in the current situation, I entered Hollywood.

Although I feel that I may not be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood now, or that I am very secure. But in such a good situation, in fact, I only know that there is always hope of success if you work hard. But if you don’t even work hard, then in such a thing, it will cost you and a piece of cake. What is the difference between salted fish and salted fish?

Now that you are in a situation like this, I don’t necessarily advocate that you accept any role, but if you meet a suitable role, it is a supporting role, or a role with only a few lines. As long as this role is to say If there is a challenge and it will be beneficial to your future performance path, then in such a state, I think you should work hard to play a role like this.

This is also a very good training for you. Don't refuse small roles, always think about playing the protagonist, and only play roles that suit you. Strictly speaking, this is the most beneficial method for you. "

In fact, choosing roles is also a very important job, but how to choose, Ye Ming believes that if Michelle and Vin Diesel can really see clearly, they should not refuse small roles at this time. , which should be a good training for their future acting skills.

And if these two are well-trained, then under such a situation, they will be even more at home in any Fast and Furious Part 2 or the like in the future.

This is the result of killing two birds with one stone, and it is also the result that Ye Ming most hopes to see. (To be continued)
