Chapter 428: Some are happy and some are sad

The hourglass of time has mercilessly consumed countless youths. The years are like knives, cutting the entire entertainment industry into pieces. Like a beautiful and good general, the white hair has not been allowed to be seen in the world since ancient times.

When it comes to the happiest person, it is Zhang Yimou. Some are happy and some are sad, and Zhang Yimou is definitely the happiest one.

"No One Left Behind" won the Golden Lion Award, which is a big event for Chinese films. This news is the happiest news Ye Ming has heard since he came back.

Zhang Yimou is Zhang Yimou. A group of non-professional actors with no acting skills were able to make films that won the Golden Lion Award.

At this time, the media naturally had to pay compliments and praise to Zhang Yimou. Those who can become famous internationally are heroes, and this is not the first time that Zhang Yimou has brought glory to his country. Even at this time, Ye Ming also took advantage of it, because in such a situation, he is The singer of the theme song of "No One Can Be Missed", "Invisible Wings" can indeed move people to tears.

Therefore, the negative news about Ye Ming at the moment, such as worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners, is not a thing at all. Lao Bai originally wanted to play dirty and give Ye Ming dessert, but the result was not as good as that everyone won an international award. Although the grand prize belongs to Zhang Yimou, Ye Ming is also the singer of the theme song. The entertainment industry is so realistic. If you can achieve results, you will naturally have a group of people behind you to cheer.

Ye Ming's current achievements are eye-catching. Not only is he one of the audition judges for Harry Potter, he is also the singer of the theme song of the [Golden Lion Award] work. This matter makes Zhang Weiping feel a little bit. Unhappy, in the chairman's office of the new screen, Zhang Weiping said angrily: "This kid Ye Ming got an advantage in vain, I'm really not willing to accept it."

Zhang Yimou was not very angry. After all, he and Ye Ming had a good relationship, and Ye Ming was able to achieve his current achievements because of his true ability. It is useless to be envious and jealous.

Of course, Zhang Yimou would not say this, but he waved his hand and said: "There is no way around this matter. [No one can be left behind]. Except for Ye Ming, who is in the entertainment industry, there is no room for speculation." Well, reporters will naturally seize an opportunity like this to make a big deal out of it. We might as well take the opportunity to build a relationship with Ye Ming, at least not to worsen our relationship."

Zhang Weiping thought for a while and said: "Let's not be busy with this. Ye Ming, despite his appearance, is actually surrounded by dangers. If you are not careful, you will be in danger." Zhang Yimou After being stunned for a moment, Ye Ming could be said to be at the peak of his powers now, but Zhang Weiping said that Ye Ming would be unlucky. At that moment, he frowned and said, "Do you have any other news?"

Zhang Weiping said with some pride: "This kid is walking too fast. Some people above are not used to it. He actually said that he can't wait to set up a theater chain. Although he said it is in line with the policy, it does not mean that he must be affiliated with the new theater chain." Someone under the name of the Film Federation has ideas for his cinema." Zhang Yimou was very shocked when he heard that it was about the theater chain, and said: "Impossible, this matter was started by the cooperation between Ye Ming and Warner Brothers. Although It means that it is affiliated with the New Film Alliance, but it is a foreign-funded enterprise after all, and the people above it will not look too ugly." Zhang Yimou still understands the people above him very well. If the people above him dare to interfere in this matter, , that almost means offending Warner Brothers to death.

Zhang Weiping explained: "This is to say that there is nothing impossible, just cooperation. Didn't you also say that Ye Ming just said that he is cooperating with Warner Brothers? The cooperation between Warner Brothers and Ye Ming is cooperation, and cooperation with the people above. No, it's the same cooperation. It's just a different partner.

Therefore, in such a situation, as long as Warner Bros. can obtain sufficient benefits, then I think Warner Bros. will not mind changing partners.

The above wants to implement a big plan, so the theater chain must be in its own hands. Therefore, under such a situation, if Ye Ming does not want to be shattered into pieces when it comes to the theater chain, he will definitely have to cut off his flesh and blood. of. "

Speaking of the plan of the people above, Zhang Yimou was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized and said: "Is it possible that the people above are determined to take action on the issue of the theater chain's share?"

Zhang Weiping said with great certainty: "Last time, we pushed too hard, which made the people above feel a sense of crisis. They thought it would be more appropriate to take the theater chain into their own hands, so that they could have pricing power. , we in the province always have to make noises about re-dividing the box office share. I estimate that this time it should be fixed at 135.6%, and there won’t be a too high share.

Think about it, since the people above have decided on a share-sharing plan like this, will the unstable factor like Brilliant Cinema be excluded? "

Needless to say, it is almost impossible. Therefore, at this time, Zhang Yimou could only shake his head a little decadently and said: "Didn't you say that you want to join the WTO? Didn't you say that you want to integrate with international standards? Why does this incredible thing happen? That’s the thing. The thirty-five-fifty-six share, does this still allow us to live?”

Zhang Weiping himself is a film maker, so he is most aware of this change. Thirty-five-six percent, that is definitely a share that makes the film and television companies feel very difficult.

Zhang Weiping said with certainty: "This is actually an important reason why the higher-ups want to take over Ye Ming's theater chain. If we don't take over Ye Ming's theater chain, it will be difficult to find a plan and implement it. Therefore, Ye Ming It can be said to be dangerous. When the time comes, it is not impossible to just make wedding dresses for others. As for us, it is better to watch the fire from the other side. "

To be honest, Xinhua has a good relationship with Ye Ming, but if they really want to help Ye Ming by selling, this Zhang Weiping will not do it.

Cooperation must bring enough benefits. In fact, Zhang Weiping did not say that he had no intention to cooperate with Ye Ming at the beginning. After all, Ye Ming controls the largest private theater chain in the country. If he has a good relationship with Huihuang Film and Television at this time, it will definitely be It was very beneficial to Xinhuamian Film and Television Company, but since someone above wanted to clean up the brilliant theater chain, Zhang Weiping thought it was better not to take risks.

Zhang Weiping has said this. As a director, Zhang Yimou just makes good movies by himself. When it comes to the company, Zhang Weiping, the boss, has the final say.

In fact, this matter means that a few big guys in the circle know the detailed situation. Reporters and general audiences really don’t understand this.

Therefore, the entire entertainment industry still seems a bit calm. It seems that Zhang Weiping also noticed Zhang Yimou's hesitation. At this time, he said very coolly: "I guess it's not our family who is waiting to see the outcome of this matter. Isn't it the premiere of [My Father and Mother] in a few days? By then Invite Ye Ming over. No matter what, he is the leading actor. We can't interfere in theater matters. But in other matters, we have to maintain this relationship. Ye Ming is not simple. Being able to get [Bright Sword] to be broadcast on China Channel, at least now no one can shake the position of Huihuang Film and Television in television."

Zhang Yimou was a little reluctant, but he had no choice. At this time, he took the initiative to call Ye Ming to discuss the premiere of [My Father and Mother] in two days.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry about Director Zhang, I will definitely go. By the way, I haven't congratulated Director Zhang for winning the Golden Lion Award yet. When the time comes, the reporters will inevitably bombard him again." Ah, Director Zhang is really beyond the reach of us younger generations."

The Golden Lion Award is not something that anyone can get easily. If you can win the award at the Venice Film Festival, one of the three major international film festivals, it will definitely be an achievement for a world-class director.

Zhang Yimou heard that Ye Ming was still as polite as ever, and all the depression in his heart was swept away. He laughed and said: "You, we are so familiar, why are you so polite? See you then. I hope this movie will be the same." Able to achieve good results." After a period of inner struggle and hesitation, Zhang Yimou still didn't say what he wanted to say. The theater issue was closely related. In his opinion, since he said he couldn't help, It's better to pretend not to know.

Ye Ming is still the same Ye Ming, and he is not complacent because of his trip to England. To be honest, Ye Ming can be one of the judges for the audition for the role of [Harry Potter]. This is a special honor that no Chinese actor has ever had. If it had been anyone else, he would have been beaten long ago. It's up to the sky. The status of a star determines his marketability. Zhang Yimou was really worried about Ye Ming taking advantage of him. Now it seems that there is no need for that at all.

Ye Ming thought about the release of [My Father and Mother], and suddenly said a little strangely: "Director Zhang, there is one thing I don't understand. Since your movie is going to be released in this movie, why don't you wait until The Lunar New Year period, I think it will be very popular when the time comes." The Lunar New Year period is a prime period. At least in the third year, people in the film market all think that the Lunar New Year period is a prime period.

Zhang Yimou said with some disapproval: "What kind of numbers are there to compete for? Everyone goes to the Lunar New Year schedule. I don't care what schedule it is, as long as it is what the people like to watch, it is not the same."

This is the confidence of great international directors. They don't care about the schedule at all, whether it is a Lunar New Year movie or not. As long as my movie is released, it is a guarantee of box office. There are very few directors in China who have such confidence.

However, although he was confident, Zhang Yimou looked a little depressed when he put down the phone. Knowing such news, there was no way to help Ye Ming. This was not the moral obligation of a friend.

Zhang Weiping seemed to see through Zhang Yimou's thoughts and comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, Ye Ming, even if he fails in theater matters, he is still very successful as an actor, at least in TV series and movies. In other aspects, he has done quite well." (To be continued)
