Chapter 928: The quarrel between major directors

Huang Jianxin was really helpless about this matter. Ye Ming was too shrewd. He didn't want to wade into this muddy water. However, no matter what, someone must take charge of this matter.

Huang Jianxin glanced at Zhang Yimou and said, "Old Zhang, I heard that you recently made a movie. Can you be a part of it?"

Zhang Yimou immediately shook his head and said: "If it was my own movie, then I would really like it, but it is not my movie. It is just a movie for which I am a consultant and an old friend." Favor, in fact, I haven’t been to the set a few times at all, so I can’t guarantee the quality of this movie.

I myself say that I am thinking about making a movie, but I don’t have a single character, the script has not been written, and the actors have not been decided, let alone the crew.

Mine doesn't fit at all. "

A great director like Zhang Yimou also has a debt of gratitude. For example, it was director Guo Baochang's The Mansion. Why did Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige both make guest appearances? It was because they owed Guo Baochang a favor. Had to pay it back.

Similarly, when someone asks Zhang Yimou to be a consultant to check on other directors, there is a reason why he cannot refuse. But this movie deals with [Pearl Harbor], so this matter is really very cheating, and it is simply impossible.

Huang Jianxin was a little speechless. This was the situation in China. He had also experienced similar things. It was like the Spring Festival Gala in his hometown one year, and he was asked to be the director. Could he not go? At least put the director's name on it and take the time to take a look. This is inevitable. In this society, things like human debt are inevitable.

Huang Jianxin glanced at Brother Chen Kai. Brother Chen Kai immediately knew what it meant and immediately said: "It's the same with my movies. At least it was difficult to start filming a year ago. If the association has anything else that needs help, I won't hesitate to ask for it. I really have no choice. Besides, even if I start shooting now, it won’t be completed in a short time. For Pearl Harbor, there is no time at all.”

At this time, Brother Chen Kai said that there was nothing arrogant at all, and quickly told the cause and effect of the matter. He said that he was not unhelpful, but that he was just like Zhang Yimou and had no works. At this time, Huang Jianxin turned his attention to Feng Xiaogang again.

At this time, in this conference room, there are only four directors who are qualified to deal with [Pearl Harbor], the national teacher Zhang Yimou, the aristocrat Chen Kaige, the dark horse Ye Ming, and the other one is the upstart grassroots Feng Xiaogang. China, that is, the works of the four of them are qualified to compete with Pearl Harbor.

Although Huang Jianxin is very clear about such a thing, even the four major Chinese directors are no match for Pearl Harbor. But only the four of them have the closest abilities.

Therefore, when asked about such a question, Huang Jianxin immediately turned his attention to Feng Xiaogang, but in the end he sighed and said nothing.

It's not that he can't say it, but he doesn't want to say it. Although Feng Xiaogang is also a dark horse, he is currently being banned by the higher authorities. It is even said that the Hua Yi brothers are still in the banned group.

Therefore, there is no need to expect any new New Year films from Feng Xiaogang at this time. Asking Feng Xiaogang is not much different from not asking.

On such a question, Feng Xiaogang also said helplessly: "I won't say that everyone knows this, but if you need any help, then I would like to help you. I really don't dare to do anything else." What’s the guarantee?”

Feng Xiaogang had already expressed such an emotion. Naturally, it was hard for him to say anything else about such a matter. In such a critical situation, Huang Jianxin could only finally turn his attention to Ye Ming said: "Ye Ming, don't say anything else. The time has come for you to be tested in the organization. You have also seen it. Now you have a work in your hands. Although it is not completed, it will be soon, right?"

Ye Ming originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he could only nod and said: "Two-thirds of the main body has been completed, and the remaining less than one-third is considered a supporting role. Therefore, the movie is almost complete. .

But in post-production, I really can’t guarantee that it will be produced according to the leader’s requirements. Say it again. Competing for an Oscar is one of my ideals, and I think it is also an inspiration to Chinese films. I hope everyone will support my movie. "

Huang Jianxin nodded with satisfaction at this time and said: "This is natural. We still have great expectations for you and think that under such circumstances, you can achieve surprising results.

However, I have a way to help you with the post-production you want to talk about. You see, there are so many directors in the conference room now, and they are all leaders in the industry.

If they help you, then in such a matter, this matter will become easier. We can help you with post-production, and you will definitely be able to finish the movie perfectly. "

This is Huang Jianxin's promise. By saying this, you mean that even Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai can help you, as long as you agree to deal with Pearl Harbor and let your movie be released at that time. Having so many directors post-production on a movie is an affirmation of Ye Ming's work.

However, Ye Ming immediately refused and said: "This matter is simply impossible. I am very grateful to everyone who wants to help, but there are some things I have to say. In a situation like this, everyone is helping. Still want to cause trouble.

I think everyone must know that in such a situation, a movie must have its own style. Therefore, it is best for a movie to have only one director, whether it is from pre-shooting or post-production, this is style. question.

I think most movies are made by one director. Only then will the films produced have a unified artistic style. But in such a situation, if everyone comes to help, what about the style of my movie? Who can guarantee that the movie will have a unified style after such tossing, so I don’t agree with that.

Of course, if Slumdog Millionaire can complete post-production in time, then I will never give up on this matter. Regarding Pearl Harbor, it is not that our Chinese movies have no personal style at all. . Maybe it means that we didn't notice it ourselves at such a time. I have a suggestion that I hope will help with this matter. "

What Ye Ming said is a bit unreasonable in a situation. Many directors just think Ye Ming is hypocritical. Therefore, the dissatisfaction with Ye Ming is also becoming more and more intense at this time.

Huang Jianxin was said to be able to keep his composure. At this time, Huang Jianxin saw that everyone wanted to express but could not express their wishes clearly. On the contrary, Ye Ming's thinking is relatively clear.

And Ye Ming didn't say he would refuse immediately, he just said he would come on time. If he couldn't catch up, it wouldn't be of much use in a situation like this.

Therefore, Huang Jianxin said without thinking: "Tell me, if you have anything you can do, just say it?"

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I can't guarantee whether my movie will be completed on time. Therefore, this is a disguised spare tire. What I recommend now is a movie from our company. , is a comedy movie. If everyone supports the filming, it will definitely catch up with the fight against Pearl Harbor. But if you say that everyone is unwilling, just pretend that I didn’t say anything?"

Someone was unhappy now. Brother Chen Kai saw that Ye Ming was trying to steal the spotlight again. It seems that such a thing would not be possible without Ye Ming. But on such an issue, Ye Ming also came out to express himself. This is something Chen Kai cannot tolerate.

He immediately stood up and said: "Director Ye, movies are not child's play. You said that in order to compete for Oscars, your movie needs to start post-production for excellence after the filming is completed. I completely agree with this.

But you said that the movie shot by a temporary crew was really as good as you said? "

If you are not good, you are a sinner. This is what Brother Chen Kai means. To deal with Pearl Harbor, we must use thunderous means to deal with it.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "This matter should not be a big problem, because this is a sequel to a movie, I think the quality is guaranteed, and I have already finished writing the script.

This movie is a replica of People on the Road. No, it’s an enhanced version, a sequel. I guarantee that the second part will be even more exciting than the first one.

And we also have a ready-made actor, Xu Zheng. Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang. The three of them already constitute the iron triangle of this movie. I think it will be faster to shoot. This should be able to compete with The Master on the Road, after all, this is a sequel. And the name of this sequel is called [Thai囧]. "

This is a movie that Ye Ming has always said he wanted to make, but he didn't expect how much impact it would have if he brought up such a thing now. People make money in embarrassing ways. In such a situation, what about Tai Jian? Ask yourself, when it comes to people being on the wrong road, everyone is happy with it.

If, if it can really be accomplished, then in such a situation, it would be a good thing. However, Brother Chen Kai did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, and immediately said: "Your Slumdog Millionaire has been filming for so long, and the post-production dare not say that it will be completed on time. Why can a new movie be completed on time?" Can you do this?"

What this means is that the key is time. This time is simply too confusing.

Ye Ming seemed to have known that Brother Chen Kai would say this. For a moment, he said with a smile: "I have thought about this matter. If I am talking about myself, then in such a situation, I really I don't want to get involved in this matter.

After all, I’m so busy. I have to attend Jackson’s 20th anniversary concert, and I also have to attend Spielberg’s movie Minority Report. Therefore, I will often stay in the United States recently. It's impossible to be distracted from shooting other movies.

But if everyone is saying that they are all helping, then I think even if the director Xu Zheng is relatively young, it is still not a big deal to control this urban comedy. "

Xu Zheng has begun to take charge of his own business, and Ye Ming also deliberately cultivates him. Huang Jianxin immediately said: "Support, of course we support it. In this way, Director Zhang and you three will serve as consultants to guide their film shooting. If there is anything that cannot be solved, we will brainstorm ideas."

As long as the problem can be solved, there is no big deal in such a matter.

At this time, what Ye Ming needs is for his team to mature. Obviously this is a very good opportunity.

Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai's brother Feng Xiaogang were named to help Ye Ming's company. Taiji, a matter like this must be done, even if the three of them disagree. If you dare to disagree, then in a situation like this, unless they don't want to play anymore.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou said that it was nothing. Ye Ming also had a good relationship with him. Therefore, at this time, he was the first to express his position and said: "No problem, I will try my best to do this job well. Everyone is here for A Chinese movie?"

Feng Xiaogang also said with emotion: "I can't do it myself, but if someone wants to do it, especially Ye Zi, I will definitely support it. When the time comes, I will pay attention to all the progress of this issue.

If you have any questions, I will try my best to help? "Brother Chen Kai is unwilling to help. The relationship between him and Ye Ming is very bad. Therefore, at this time, he does not want to agree to such a thing at all, but if he does not agree, in front of everyone, this It's even harder to say.

Therefore, when it comes to such a matter, Brother Chen Kai hesitated and said: "I don't have much time recently, so I won't use this false reputation. Of course, if you need anything, Director Ye, just say, I will help if I can." help."

According to the relationship between Ye Ming and Brother Chen Kai, everyone is almost certain that Ye Ming will never go to Brother Chen Kai. Even if Ye Ming has some problems that cannot be solved, under such a situation, it is impossible to go to Brother Chen Kai. fixed. After all, the two are enemies, right?

Therefore, it is very rare for Brother Chen Kai to do it like this. After all, Brother Chen Kai does it with a little regard for face. (To be continued)
