Chapter 697 Kitano Takeshi’s Abacus

Yingzi was very surprised. In Yingzi's opinion, Huaxia is a very reserved nation, very humble, and generally not so ostentatious. Even if they achieve great results, they must be modest. But for someone like Ye Ming to confidently say that the movie he invested in has a subversive impact, or even said it has become a cultural phenomenon, this is somewhat inconsistent with the character of the Chinese people.

At this time, Yingzi also became very interested in Ye Ming. She said somewhat unexpectedly: "Ye Sang is saying that your movie can be compared to My Fair Princess? I have watched this movie starring Ye Sang." TV series, I really like the song "Mouse Loves Rice" in it. My Fair Princess is indeed a phenomenal TV series, but if you want to say that your "My Sassy Girl" is also a phenomenal movie, Then this phenomenon-level thing is too much, right?”

Ye Ming said very confidently: "I still believe in my vision. You can wait until the movie is released to see it. I guarantee that you will not be disappointed. If it is said that several reporters went to see the movie , if you find it’s not good, you can come back to me for a refund.”

These words immediately caused a burst of laughter from the reporters at the scene. This matter is not ordinary interesting. Will these reporters still spend money to watch movies? Basically this is not very possible.

Senior entertainment reporters will be invited to watch the premiere of the movie, or if it is an early preview, these reporters will also be invited to go.

Of course, everyone just regarded Ye Ming's words as a joke. But at this time, everyone cannot continue to ask.

Because at this moment Kitano Takeshi came over and said: "Everyone, it's time to give Ye Sang some rest. If you have any questions, you can go to Ye Sang's concert press conference and ask. Everyone, go back Bar?"

Kitano Takeshi, as Japan's new generation of film emperor, his status is naturally unshakable, and in a country like Japan where status and qualifications are very limited, Kitano Takeshi's words save Ye Ming's explanation of any words. .

None of the reporters dared not to give Takeshi Kitano face. This is Takeshi Kitano's status in the Japanese entertainment industry. All the reporters stepped aside, leaving a gap for Ye Ming to get in the car.

This is a sign of respect for Takeshi Kitano. Otherwise, if any reporter is interested in a big shot like Takeshi Kitano, they will never be able to work in the entertainment industry in this life.

At the Shangri-La Hotel, Ye Ming had already booked a room, and at this moment, it was lunch time. Kitano Takeshi just left Ye Ming alone in a private room, but at this moment, Ye Ming still looked calm and unhurried. .

Kitano smiled and said: "Among the Chinese people, there are very few people as patient as Ye Sang. Aren't you curious as to why I found you?"

Ye Ming said with a smile: "If Director Kitano wants to say something about this, he will always say it. If he doesn't want to say it, it's useless for me to ask. It's better to just wait for Director Kitano to say it."

Kitano Takeshi gently put down a Jun porcelain tea cup in his hand. There was still a faint fragrance inside the tea cup.

At this time, Takeshi Kitano pondered for a while and said: "Actually, there is really something that a friend of mine asked me to do. Maybe you don't know that Spielberg is coming to Japan to shoot a movie about Japan. Movies that matter.”

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and said as if he had thought of something: "The Last Samurai, a movie starring Tom Cruise, a movie produced by Paramount, I think if it's correct, it should be this movie ”

The Last Samurai is a Japanese cultural film. It tells the story of Emperor Meiji who invited a Western instructor in order to modernize the military. This instructor starred Tom Cruise. The supporting actors in this movie are also quite famous. One is Ken Watanabe and the other is Hiroyuki Sanada. After hearing Takeshi Kitano talk about it, Ye Ming immediately thought of this movie.

Takeshi Kitano was also stunned at this moment. This matter has not spread in the Japanese entertainment industry. It has just been spread among a small group of people in the upper class. By the time Spielberg arrives in Japan, it is estimated that this will happen In such a situation, it is impossible to hide it.

However, now, not ordinary people can find out such news.

Kitano was stunned for a moment and then said: "I didn't expect that you are so interested in this movie. Even in the Japanese entertainment industry, not everyone knows this news. That's right, this is a Paramount film. Japanese film. This film stars Tom Cruise. Although it tells a Japanese story, the core is still a Western film. Tom Cruise is the undisputed protagonist. And the two supporting roles in it are temporarily One of them is confirmed to be Ken Watanabe and the other is Hiroyuki Sanada. If there is nothing else, then the cast list should be almost finalized."

Ken Watanabe, Hiroyuki Sanada, Kiichi Nakai, and Hiroshi Sato are the four middle-aged kings of the Japanese film market.

In particular, Ken Watanabe and Hiroyuki Sanada are the two most famous. These two are actors who will make a name for themselves in Hollywood in the future. The two of them actually started their adventures with Spielberg's "The Last Samurai".

Ken Watanabe was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for this movie. Although he didn't win the award in the end, it was still quite a big deal.

Originally, he had no interest in this movie, and Ye Ming had no intention of competing for the role in this movie. Otherwise, he would have taken action long ago, and at least Watanabe Ken would not have anything to do with it.

But because Ye Ming had no great interest in starring as a Japanese, he knew about the movie, but he didn't express his intention to compete for the role.

So after listening to Kitano Takeshi's words, Ye Ming said indifferently: "Mr. Kitano's words. What do you mean? The role has been decided. If you find me, what's the point of making fun of me?"

Now Ye Ming is quite annoyed. Although Ye Ming is very interested in this Western Japanese film, he has no interest in interfering with it. However, if he thinks that others can make fun of this matter, , Ye Ming will never agree to this matter.

Takeshi Kitano said with a smile: "Mr. Ye, don't worry. If it has nothing to do with you, then I won't bring up such a thing. I was actually entrusted by Spielberg to Ask Mr. Ye to be the action director of The Last Samurai.”

In fact, in a place like Hollywood, even if you are shooting an action movie, there will be no action director.

In the crew, the director is the real boss. There is no action director position, but Spielberg also followed the Romans and directly found two Japanese entertainment superstars to perform. This is already quite a feat in Hollywood.

Ye Ming saw Kitano Takeshi saying something like this, but he also looked righteous and awe-inspiring at this moment.

Ye Ming also understood that in this situation, Kitano Takeshi was just a test.

Spielberg wanted to use Ye Ming as an action director, but he didn't want to see himself rejected. In Hollywood, Spielberg believed that few people could resist his invitation.

But this was in China, so he thought it was better to find someone to explore Ye Ming's tone. Spielberg saw how cool Ye Ming's skills were from movies.

So what happened was that Ye Ming was invited to be the action director. Ye Ming thought for a moment, he didn't want to have anything to do with this movie.

Therefore, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I dare not promise you this. Because I have been very busy recently. After the concert, Meteor Garden will hit the screen. And [My Wild Horse Girlfriend] will be with you soon." Together. Finally, my company still has a TV show to shoot in the Mainland, which is "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Therefore, judging from the schedule, it is not an easy task for me to find a suitable opportunity. There is also the Spring Festival Gala, I cannot refuse this matter."

This time Kitano Takeshi came forward, so the other party was very generous and wanted to solve this problem.

But Ye Ming said it very well. Regarding this matter, Kitano Takeshi said helplessly: "Ye Sang, don't rush to refuse such a thing. Not everyone can get Spielberg's invitation. You Think about it carefully these two days, before Spielberg comes, think about it carefully at this time."

Ye Ming nodded and said, "If that's the case, let's talk about this later. I don't know what Director Kitano thinks of such a thing."

Takeshi Kitano is actually a little unwilling to do so. International directors like Spielberg are able to come to Japan to film. This is definitely a good way to improve the status of the Japanese entertainment industry.

Therefore, even Takeshi Kitano is quite thoughtful about such a thing.

He was contacted by Spielberg to many actors and staff. I just thought that after Spielberg arrived, he would start filming soon.

The matter of Ye Ming is an unexpected result. Someone can actually refuse the greetings of Spielberg. This matter itself is a matter worthy of attention, and what kind of person Ye Ming is. At these times, everyone may I know it very clearly. (To be continued)
