Chapter 888: What is needed

Eternal profit is the nature of capitalists, and this is especially true for giants like Time Warner. Therefore, Zhang Yimou said that this matter was related to Time Warner, and the first thing Ye Ming thought of was Harry Potter.

Zhang Yimou was stunned and said: "Harry Potter? By the way, if you didn't tell me about this, I would have almost forgotten about it. You actually hold the copyright of Harry Potter. It's really from Time Warner." Has anyone taken action?"

Ye Ming said with great certainty: "There is absolutely nothing wrong. Otherwise, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Jinghua would not have the guts to join forces with Director Chen to cause trouble for me. However, people from Time Warner did not dare to do it openly. They still I'm afraid that I might fall out, but Time Warner is not the only movie company in Hollywood.

Paramount, Fox, and even Disney and other giants are all coveting Harry Potter. Once I transfer the next Harry Potter to others, the people at Time Warner will have no place to cry. go. But maybe because this movie made so much money, they felt that I might be a little unconvinced by asking me to take such a large share. This was to test my reaction. "

If explained like this, everything makes sense. Someone is attacking Ye Ming. In the entertainment industry, especially when Ye Ming is still the spokesman for the Olympic bid, it is definitely not a good opportunity to attack Ye Ming.

But some people still do it, which proves that there needs to be sufficient profit motivation to do so. Harry Potter Zhenghai has such huge benefits.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "Then what should you do? If you want to say hello to the higher ups, I think there will be someone from the higher ups who will stand up for you. Anyone here who dares to block the Olympic bid will be in trouble with the higher ups. Banned.”

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "We are about to enter the sprint stage. Therefore, I think the people above will not make trouble, and they dare to do this matter like this. I dare not say that they are absolutely sure, at least they are. Faith removes itself when things happen. I understand this very well.

This may turn out to be a confusing account in the end. Since you are planning to attack me, then maybe I am too kind. What’s the point of dealing with Director Chen Da and the people behind the scenes? If I want to find out, I have to go to the Times Warner's troubles. There was no need to change the movie, it was just a low-key shooting. I just pretended that nothing had happened. I wanted to see what kind of people would jump out to do something right for me at this moment. "

There is a very high price to pay for going against Ye Ming. Even people who are not like him have the courage to go against Ye Ming. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming observed who else in the country would dare to jump out and cause trouble for him.

With Time Warner as its backing, perhaps, some people will become restless. Therefore, Zhang Yimou said that he wanted to find someone from above. At this time, Ye Ming quickly refused. If the people from above got involved in this matter, it would lose the meaning of knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger.

Zhang Yimou said with a smile: "It's up to you. I just want to say hello to you. I hope you can be more careful. By the way, this Olympic bid is now also a critical stage. What I mean above is that let us in the literary and art circles People are also taking action to express the enthusiasm of our Chinese literary and art circles. What I mean is to hold a large-scale literary and art evening, which will be broadcast live on Tianchao Channel. If it is done well, the influence will not be inferior to that of the Spring Festival Gala. Regarding this matter, You can’t just let it go.”

If we talk about directors, Zhang Yimou has never convinced anyone in China. The status of a national master is not something that everyone is qualified to shake. It is even said that the vast majority of directors have an attitude of looking up to Zhang Yimou. of. But if it's a party, then Ye Ming has a much greater say.

This is also a key reason why Zhang Yimou must win over Ye Ming. Ye Ming said he didn't refuse, even though he was very busy. But he also understands such a thing very well. The responsibility lies, and he cannot have any reason to refuse. Even if he says that his movie is about to start shooting, supporting a party like the Olympic bid is a political task. It must be done well.

Therefore, Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's no problem. How are we going to do it this time? A regular party, or a special event?" Generally speaking, holding a party, especially a party on the Tianchao Terrace, then There are certain standards, and this standard is the Spring Festival Gala. What kind of gala can be broadcast on China TV Station, and it is live broadcast, just watch the Spring Festival Gala.

The Spring Festival Gala is a regular gala. Conventional means that the actors are usually actors within the system, or actors who have a good relationship with Tianchao TV.

As for the fact that there must be one or two singers and artists from Treasure Island Harbor City, that is also out of the need to unite the masses.

This is the regular Spring Festival Gala. Zhang Yimou said very happily: "Unconventional, unconventional publicity must be redeemed with unconventional methods. This time we not only have to prepare to cheer for the Olympic bid, but also, once the Olympic bid is successful, we will also have to celebrate Of course, this party has to be prepared. Whether it can be successful or not depends on fate. The important thing is that this time, we only have ten days to decide on the actors, design the program, and set up the stage. In these ten days It’s time to prepare. I think it would be better for you to be in charge of the artist contacts in Hong Kong City and Baodao. In the Mainland, no one has more extensive connections in these two places than you.”

Just like the last Olympic bid, the capital actually lost to Sydney by just one vote. Such a thing is a regret in the hearts of many Chinese people.

Whether it will succeed this time is really hard to say. Therefore, this celebration party will be held quietly. Of course, this time it is actually said that a celebration party will be prepared, which also means that the Olympic Bid Committee is certain.

As for the fact that this time it will take ten days, Ye Ming is not surprised. This time it is a nationwide effort to bid for the Olympics. Everything is made for this, and the same goes for the party.

Ye Ming nodded happily and said, "No problem. I will contact the artists in Hong Kong City and Baodao. I will give you a reply within three days."

If it wasn't for a party to cheer for the Olympic bid, Ye Ming would not have dared to talk about it for three days. After all, some of the superstars in Hong Kong City and Baodao are very busy and it is difficult to adjust enough schedules, but if it is said that it is promising If there is a reason like cheering for the Olympic bid, then it would be relatively easy to invite a few of them at this time. Because at a time like this, everyone knows very well that this is a different party, and those who are invited will generally not refuse, because if you refuse this time, you will not need to enter the mainland market in the future. .

The artists in Hong Kong City and Baodao are actually very understanding, and they are proud to be invited at times like this. Generally, it is very rare for people to receive such an invitation. People are at the level of kings and queens, and they must be the kind of popular artists, such as Hua Zai. The song "Chinese" is enough to illustrate it. Andy is actually a red person.

Moreover, Andy said when facing the Japanese media, don't think that just a contract will tie me down. In fact, I don't have to come. Can you control me? It’s just that I think it’s not fair to my fans if I don’t come when they come to see me.

So here I am. There is also brother Cheng Long, who is also a popular artist. These are all easily invited.

There are also artists such as brother Zhang Guorong, singer Zhang Xueyou, etc. These are all dedicated to their acting career and will not interfere with other things at all, and they are easily recognized.

For some artists, no matter how famous they are, it is not easy to be invited if they have said something.

Of course, this is a minority of artists, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. After Ye Ming received such an invitation, he quickly started to take action. Originally, he wanted to prepare to shoot his new movie, but now that this happened, things like shooting movies meant... It was only postponed.

This is an obvious choice. After arriving at the company, Ye Ming first asked someone to book a flight, then called Sister Fang Fang and a group of artists from the company to the conference room and said: "Everyone, I just received a call and discussed something with Director Zhang Yimou.

One news I got is that we are going to hold a rally to support the Olympic bid for ten days. As the spokesman for the Olympic bid, I have an unshirkable responsibility. Therefore, I will leave the new drama to you. I will work with you soon. Sister Fang Fang goes to Hong Kong City. "

This news is very surprising, but everyone is used to it. When filming The Legend of Zhen Huan, Ye Ming never took care of the crew. This time, no one was surprised.

Anyway, there will be no problem when Ye Ming arrives as the director and starring when the film is started. The company will naturally have professional people to do the rest.

Moreover, if Xu Zheng, as the deputy director, was responsible for some of the preparatory work, it would be very easy for him, and this is actually how it was done. This is Ye Ming's intention to cultivate his team.

If Ye Ming goes to Hollywood by then, the company will be able to operate normally.

After the meeting, Sister Fang Fang did not leave immediately, but said with some worry: "There is something wrong with Teacher Guo recently. It seems that he can't cheer up. Most of the artists in our company have become first-line artists. At this time, Teacher Guo's There is still no improvement at work, and he feels a little out of place."

If the artists of a company are all second- and third-rate stars, then no one can say anything at this time and they are all struggling to become popular. This is also a common problem among many art companies.

But Huihuang is a very powerful company, not necessarily the richest, but at least in terms of the works it shoots, it makes people jealous to the point of itching their teeth.

In this company, whether it is Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, Huang Bo, Tang Wei, Sun Li and other male and female stars, they are basically first-line artists. Only Guo Degang is still working in the cross talk theater, although now the cross talk is somewhat better thanks to Lao Guo's efforts. It's improving, but no matter how you compare it with some people in your own company, it just doesn't work.

In Ma Su's words: "Lao Guo, why are you doing this?"

Therefore, Guo Degang was not very happy to stay in this company. It was very embarrassing to see other colleagues wearing sunglasses when they went out, but he was acting like a group performer. At this time, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Okay, you can find Teacher Guo and tell him that I have something to talk to him about."

After Guo De just came over, his expression was still a little depressed. He couldn't be happy at this time. The company's focus is on making movies and TV series, not Xiangsheng. Therefore, there will be no focus on promoting his cross talk.

At this time, Ye Ming saw Guo Degang and said, "Teacher Guo, what do you think is most needed for cross talk now?"

When Guo Degang mentioned something like this to Xiang Sheng, he suddenly became energetic and said very seriously: "Audience, now we need the audience to come into the theater to listen to our cross talk."

Without an audience, crosstalk would be a dead end at times like this. Guo Degang is very simple in this understanding. No one listens to the cross talk, and the cross talk actors starve to death.

Ye Ming immediately corrected him and said: "No, it's not the audience, it's the work. The work is the foundation of cross talk. It's not that our audience doesn't like cross talk. In fact, the vitality of this art is still quite strong, but we didn't listen. When you get enough good works, this is what you need to pay attention to.

Of course, you must have fame. This time is an opportunity to support the Olympic bid. If you can come up with a work of sufficient weight to convince me, I will recommend you to attend this party. To be honest, the cross talk business depends on you guys. "

At this time, Guo Degang suddenly became energetic. He knew what this kind of party that hundreds of millions of viewers were paying attention to meant, which meant that under such a situation, more viewers would pay attention to the cross talk. At this time, Guo Degang said excitedly: "Boss, tell me, what type of cross talk should I prepare? I can talk freely about this in the theater, but when it comes to that occasion, I dare not let go." I’ve said it, you’ve experienced a lot, why don’t you give me some direction?”

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Satire, satirize some social phenomena, don't be afraid to go out of line, just be bold and satirical. The key is that the people like to hear it, and of course it can't be too out of line. I don't need to tell you about laws and regulations. Do you understand?"

What crosstalk brings to the people is joy, and propaganda about Gao Dashang and the like is what Tianchaotai does. At times like this, what crosstalk brings to the people is happiness, and the rest is not a big deal, at least that's what Ye Ming has always thought. (To be continued)
