Chapter 584 Directors’ Counterattack

Jiang Wen said without thinking: "There is a kind of person in life. If you despise or even insult him, he will not only regard him as normal, but also admire you. If you treat him as an equal in terms of personality, he will look down upon you." You! And among our opponents, there are some people, this group of people from the New Film Alliance, who are holding us back.

You should fight back hard against such people, otherwise they will think you are easy to bully and there is no other way. Ye Ming, you did a good job filming Infernal Affairs, which made us all feel proud. I fully support you. "

Jiang Wen's "The Devils Are Coming" was banned from being released. This made him a little angry. Years of hard work was wasted on a piece of paper and 80% of his work was wasted. It was not released in the country. In the mainland, it was equivalent to an illegitimate child or a stepmother. Yes, this is a very big harm to the proud and arrogant Jiang Wen. Therefore, I was a little rude when I spoke.

Dong Ping, the boss of Poly Huayi, also expressed his opinion impatiently: "That's right, these people, relying on their small rights, suppressed us a little bit too much. They simply don't want to give anyone any. A way to survive.

Our company's business was also greatly affected. Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was almost stillborn. Mr. Ye, although we don’t have any celebrities, we still have certain channels for publicity. When the time comes, just give us a call and Poly Huayi’s publicity department will fully support you. "

Dong Ping was very angry when he said this. The Japs Are Coming was invested by Dong Ping, and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon was also invested by Dong Ping. This year, he made some gains in Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. Otherwise, Poly Huayi There will be a loss in the final reckoning.

How could Dong Ping endure this kind of thing? Therefore, this tone still needs to be said, and now everyone is almost wiped out, leaving Ye Ming alone to fight alone.

Therefore, at this time, Jiang Wen, who was more radical, and Dong Ping, who was angry, immediately stood up and supported Ye Ming unequivocally. At this time, Wang Zhongjun said with a smile: "Take peace of mind, you two, things still have to be done step by step.

Ye Ming, the commotion you have created is indeed very big. With Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, and Zhou Xingxing joining the cast, it is estimated that the influence of this movie will be even higher. "

Wang Zhongjun doesn't know how to make movies, but he is an expert. After all, he is in this industry, and he knows what kind of crew and what kind of actors will produce sparks.

Ye Ming nodded and said: "This has initially achieved my goal. The influence has come out, but it is still a little short of achieving my goal. I want Infernal Affairs to become a masterpiece before it is broadcast. A phenomenon, a culture, arouses the discussion and expectation of the whole people. In this way, Infernal Affairs will really have a chance to make the people of the New Film Federation give in. Otherwise, you think the stubborn New Film Federation will be casual. Concession?

Mr. Wang, I came here this time to actually ask for support. Don’t worry over there in Hong Kong City. With the help of three top stars, there should be no problem.

And I came here to find stars from the Mainland to help, Ge You, Chen Daomin, Director Jiang Wen, and I will ask that sister and Wang Fei to come out to see if I can persuade them to participate in the movie. In short, I will film it. An all-star lineup. The guest stars are all celebrities.

Only in this way can the movie be worthy of everyone's expectations, can it become a phenomenon, become a culture, directly guide everyone's curiosity, and only then can the people of the New Film Alliance give in.

Otherwise, at this time, there is no chance of success at all. If Infernal Affairs is only screened in Hong Kong City, I am sure that it will be successful, but then it will lose the meaning of my original filming of Infernal Affairs. . "

At this time, everyone naturally had no reason to refuse. Anyway, the offensive and defensive alliances had been dealt with like this. If they didn't support Ye Ming, they would just wait to surrender.

At this time, Wang Zhongjun said: "There is no problem with Huayi Brothers' people. I will tell Sister Hua to ask her people to cooperate with you on this matter. Just tell me what actors you need, and I will let them arrange the schedule." ."

At this time, Zhang Yimou thought about it, but still didn't say it. He originally wanted to ask Ye Ming for a role to see if he could give Zhang Ziyi a chance, but he still couldn't say this.

Because Zhang Yimou himself was not sure whether Ye Ming would really agree to his request after he said it. If he said he couldn't, then his face would be lost.

This never ends well in front of everyone, doesn't it?

Therefore, Zhang Yimou finally said: "Once this matter is launched, we always have to contact people from New Film Alliance. I have many acquaintances in this company. When the time comes, I can contact them Sit down and talk.”

In fact, people like Ye Ming want to hype Infernal Affairs to the point where everyone knows about it. The ultimate goal is to get the people from the New Film Alliance to give in. At this time, they must find a suitable person to contact the New Film Alliance. Talent is, obviously, at this time, Zhang Yimou is the most suitable person.

One is that he has a wide range of people, and the other is that he is senior.

Everyone discussed the details at this time. Some issues had to wait until Ye Ming finished shooting the film before they could start working on them. However, it was already clear who would be responsible for what tasks.

After the others dispersed, Ye Ming did not leave.

Director Feng Xiaogang asked: "Yi Zi, you seem to have something you haven't said. Let's listen to what you have to say.

I have been thinking that at this time, you have the right time, right place, and the right people. Basically, you have occupied everything. I am just waiting for the showdown with the people from the New Film Alliance after Infernal Affairs is filmed. At this time, you should not have any worries. "

Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Director Feng, you think too highly of me. How can I not worry at all? At this time, the movie itself is not a big deal, and I won't worry about not having enough actors and scripts." To support this movie, but what I am worried about is not the movie itself, but the Directors Guild. You also know who the backers of the Directors Guild are. If it is easy to say that the General Administration wants to block us, then it must first use the Directors Guild. People are trying to create public opinion, at least labeling my movie Infernal Affairs as a poisonous weed or something like that.

In a situation like this, I am really worried about the people in the Directors Guild. Who are the people in charge now? Who is Brother Chen Kai? Forget it, Mr. Wu, he is an official, not from our circle. Who is in charge of the vice-presidents? "

The Directors Guild is actually the same as many associations. The president is always the leader, and the leader generally does not do anything, just in name. The real ones are the deputy directors, and they only do it during the annual summary report or something. Only the president can appear, and it is possible. Feng Xiaogang is actually a member of the Directors Association, as is Ye Ming, because he was also roped in by Han Shanping early on.

However, Ye Ming generally did not participate in the Directors Association. Therefore, some of the relationships there were not settled. Feng Xiaogang thought for a long time and finally said: "I didn't pay much attention to it. He seemed to have asked me for a meeting some time ago. , as a result, all the leaders of the previous term were retained, which was not interesting at all.

As for things, Director Xie Fei seems to be a little old, so he doesn't always care about things. Director Zhang Yimou is busy with his own business and doesn't worry too much. It seems that Director Teng Wenji is really in charge of things. This is quite interesting. Are you sure people from the Directors Guild will take action? "

Ye Ming said with certainty without thinking: "There is almost no doubt about this. If there is no reason for us to be resettled, some people will be unhappy. Of course, this is also within my doubts." , but it’s better to prepare for a rainy day.”

What Ye Ming is worried about is that the script of Infernal Affairs cannot pass the project approval. If it cannot be approved before filming, then it is basically doomed that Infernal Affairs will not be screened in the mainland. This result is obviously something Ye Ming absolutely does not want to see.

Feng Xiaogang hesitated for a moment before saying: "If this is the case, Lao Zhang may have some ideas. He is the vice president no matter what, right? Just let him pay more attention to it. But there is something I must remind you. Pay attention, I have trouble watching the script of this movie. It is a gangland movie. It seems that it is almost impossible for a movie like this to pass the censorship in the mainland."

Movies in Hong Kong City, especially underworld movies, don't talk about the screening team at all. Therefore, Feng Xiaogang was actually worried about a powerful movie like Ye Ming's.

But in terms of the overall environment, there is really no precedent for a Jianghu movie to be screened across the country.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "That's true, our country's movies are like this. Director Zhang Yimou's code name is Jaguar. If this thing were in Hollywood, it would definitely capture the hearts of the audience and highlight the image of the lone hero and the common hero. The protagonist He should be a martial arts master, or at most a retired alcoholic detective or something.

But what Zhang Yimou photographed was my police uncle's heroic command and brave struggle, and everyone was happy as a result, which means that good things are a bit like a tiger but not a dog. If The Evaporation Order had been filmed by Zhang Yimou, then Feng Gong's ambush would have been filmed at this time. It's interesting to think about Arnold laying an ambush. In fact, our film is a police hero film, not a Jianghu film. "

Speaking of which, if the culture is different, the taste of filming the same story will really change. Ye Ming has also considered this. (To be continued)
