Chapter 930: Zi Yi’s Choice

Being able to go to Hollywood for a reasonable reason to participate in the filming of a top-notch crew, even just to observe, is a great improvement to your acting skills.

But at that time, there were almost no such opportunities for actors in mainland China, and they had no reasonable excuse to want to go. Hollywood doesn't play with them.

But Ye Ming did have a reasonable reason this time, a very reasonable reason.

When Zhang Yimou brought up this matter, the key point was whether Ye Ming was willing to cooperate?

If Ye Ming is unwilling to cooperate, then no matter how this matter is done, it will not be successful, there is no doubt about it. More to the point, it also proves that Ye Ming's current status in the entertainment industry is indeed worthy of being among the top four directors.

Huang Jianxin's eyes lit up, he glanced at Ye Ming and said: "Ye Ming, what do you think about this matter? I think if you can bring two or three people there, it will be of great help to China's movies. .”

When it came to this point, Ye Ming had no choice but to express his opinion. He nodded and said: "I don't have any problem with it, just three. If I go to Hollywood to film [Minority Report], then I think three is more appropriate." Yes, if there are more people, they may not agree. I will take one person myself, and the remaining two and three people will recommend it, and we will discuss it. "

Until now, Ye Ming has not really completely delegated power on such a matter. If Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou and others were asked to recommend it, it would obviously be impossible if Ye Ming himself did not approve it.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "Maybe Ye Ming, you have some objections, but if I were to recommend it, it would be Zhang Ziyi. She is one of the younger generation actors I have seen who has the greatest room for improvement in acting. If it weren't for you, Ye Ming, With her appearance, she is even said to be the most shining actor among this generation of actors."

This is indeed not an exaggeration. Zhang Ziyi's performance is also called the first of the four major beauties. This is recognized by everyone. If it weren't for Ye Ming's emergence, Zhang Ziyi would indeed be the most eye-catching actor.

What Zhang Yimou was worried about was whether Ye Ming would agree to follow Zhang Ziyi under such a situation. Because the relationship between the two people is honestly not very good, it would be an understatement to say that they are hostile.

Who knows, Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "I have cooperated with Zhang Ziyi on this matter. I understand her potential, but her relationship with me is indeed not very good. If we shake hands and make peace, in a short time It's impossible inside. Director Zhang should be replaced by someone else."

There is no doubt that Zhang Ziyi has great potential, but the relationship between Ye Ming and her is indeed not good. Ye Ming is not a saint, and Ye Ming cannot do such a thing as repaying evil with kindness. Therefore, he decisively rejected Zhang Yimou's proposal.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou was not surprised at all. This was already within his expectation, because under such circumstances, it was strange that Ye Ming agreed.

But Zhang Yimou had to say this. After all, he said that this was a very good opportunity for Zhang Ziyi. Unfortunately, Ye Ming did not agree.

Zhang Yimou shook his head, a little disappointed. He was very good to Zhang Ziyi and always strongly recommended her. An opportunity like this was actually created for Zhang Ziyi.

Unfortunately, Ye Ming decisively refused, which made Zhang Yimou feel disappointed for Zhang Ziyi.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yimou shook his head and said: "If Zhang Ziyi fails, then at this time, I have nothing to say. I really can't think of anyone else who is suitable."

There are not many actors that Zhang Yimou can like, so is it possible that he would recommend Utilitarian?

This is impossible, they have broken up, everyone in the entertainment industry knows it. Moreover, Zhang Yimou favors Zhang Ziyi because Zhang Ziyi and utilitarianism are somewhat similar.

Feng Xiaogang said: "Let Fan Binbin go, little girl, if you can learn something, you will be lucky. If Fan Binbin really improves, I will arrange a role for her in my movie."

Feng Xiaogang is also very discerning about this matter, and he knows very well that this is a suggestion put forward by Zhang Yimou for Zhang Ziyi. Without Zhang Ziyi, Feng Xiaogang is not willing to get involved in such an issue.

This is Ye Ming's personal matter. In fact, even if he brings someone there, under such a situation, it will be decided by Ye Ming himself. This is almost certain.

If you don't have a good relationship with Ye Ming, for example, if he recommends Zhou Jie or something, this is making yourself look bad, and Ye Ming will definitely refuse.

Just like rejecting Zhang Ziyi. Then it would be better to recommend Fan Binbin. Anyway, Fan Binbin and Ye Ming have a strong relationship, so there is no problem in recommending her.

At this time, everyone's meal was a little boring. After dinner, Huang Jianxin was the first to leave, followed by Feng Xiaogang.

The remaining ones walking behind were Ye Ming and Zhang Yimou. Ye Ming thought for a while and finally said before going out: "Director Zhang, if you think that Zhang Ziyi will always develop in the Asia-Pacific region, then I wouldn't mind taking her to Hollywood to study."

Zhang Yimou was originally very unhappy. Ye Ming was so disrespectful. He actually rejected him directly in such a matter. This was simply unbearable.

But after hearing what Ye Ming said now, Zhang Yimou immediately stopped and said, "What's going on? If Zhang Ziyi follows you to Hollywood to observe and learn, she will develop in the Asia-Pacific later, won't she be able to go to Hollywood to develop in the future? "

Zhang Yimou had never thought that there would be such a result. He knew that Ye Ming would very likely reject his proposal, but he did not expect that such a reason would be used to reject him.

Ye Ming nodded and said, "Absolutely. This is similar to the unspoken rules of Hollywood. In Hollywood, actors are actors, directors are directors, and singers are singers. Everyone does their own thing. It's not that there is no such thing as serialism. , but those are qualifications only available to top superstars. For example, only people at the top of the entertainment industry such as Madonna and Welles Smith have such qualifications.

Generally speaking, actors are just actors and don’t do anything else. Actors don’t do drama chores or anything like that. Directors such as Spielberg are truly top-notch, but at most they only make cameos in their own movies. This is the case in the Hollywood entertainment industry. If you don't have enough qualifications, don't just work casually. "

Zhang Yimou has never carefully understood the Hollywood entertainment industry. Although he said that he really hopes to win an Oscar, under such a situation, he still has not understood some of the hidden rules of Hollywood.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou had no idea that there was such a thing in Hollywood. He thought for a moment and said, "If Zhang Ziyi follows you, what will happen? Is it true that she can't go to the entertainment industry?"

Ye Ming nodded and said with certainty: "This is the unspoken rule of Hollywood, of course. If Zhang Ziyi is an ordinary actor and has no international reputation at all, and no one in Hollywood has noticed Zhang Ziyi, then In a situation like this, it would be okay for her to go. For example, if Fan Binbin is an actor in China, Hollywood doesn't even know that there is such an actor. If she goes with me, others won't be able to tell anything if they don't know her.

Even if Fan Binbin goes to Hollywood to develop in the future, there will be no obstacles. Arnold was a bodybuilder before becoming an actor. But Zhang Ziyi is different. Although she is not well-known in Hollywood, she is not unknown to Hollywood at all.

Speaking of which, Zhang Ziyi is a semi-familiar face in Hollywood. If anyone on the crew recognizes Zhang Ziyi, she will almost be fixed in a position like an actress assistant in the future.

Unless she can encounter Hollywood blockbusters such as Star Wars and The Terminator, there is no way she will ever make a comeback. Because Zhang Ziyi does not have the qualifications to move around like a top superstar. "

Fan Binbin said that to be honest, Ye Ming did not expect her to conquer Hollywood. It would be good if she could conquer the Asia-Pacific first. In Hollywood, you do what you do, don't do it casually. If you are not a top person, you can't do this at all.

This is also a major reason why Hollywood can conquer the world. Because Hollywood is professional, everything is done very professionally.

At this time, Zhang Yimou said helplessly: "So that's how it is, forget it, let me think of other ways?"

After Zhang Yimou returned home, he was obviously still very unhappy about this matter. If he went to Hollywood to watch the filming of a top-notch crew, in such a situation, it would indeed be a great opportunity. If you miss this time, it will be difficult to find the next time.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou's expression was not very good in the company. Although Ye Ming explained clearly, his mood was obviously not much better.

Zhang Ziyi was very able to figure out Zhang Yimou's thoughts. Seeing that Zhang Yimou was so unhappy, she tentatively asked why he was unhappy.

Zhang Yimou thought for a while and said: "Xiao Zhang, if I give you a chance to go to Hollywood to watch the filming of a top crew, you may pay a very high price. I don't know if you are willing or not." Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment and said: "Top Crew, what kind of crew is it?"

She was still excited about this proposal. It was also a very good opportunity to be able to observe the top Hollywood production crews. There are so many fights in life, and what Zhang Ziyi lacks most is the courage to fight.

Therefore, when asked a question like this, Zhang Ziyi's face still showed excitement. At this time, Zhang Yimou also understood this and sighed: "Spielberg's [Minority Report] is the crew that Ye Ming will go to. During the meeting just now, I and Ye Ming mentioned it privately If something like this happens, Chinese actors can be used as Ye Ming's staff to follow him there, and there is no problem if two or three people go."

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment. She did not expect that this person would be Ye Ming. Her relationship with Ye Ming was obviously not good enough. It is not an exaggeration to say that the two people were hostile before, but now they have finally improved a little. But they are definitely not friends.

Zhang Ziyi was stunned for a moment before saying, "What kind of opportunity does Ye Ming want? Does it mean he wants money? Ye Ming is not short of money."

Indeed, in this entertainment industry, it is not wrong at all to say that Ye Ming is not short of money. He is indeed not short of money.

Zhang Yimou shook his head and said, "That's not the case. If Ye Ming only had this kind of ambition, he wouldn't be able to achieve what he is doing now. In fact, under such a situation, what Ye Ming means is, you go , then your identity in the Hollywood entertainment industry will basically be fixed in a position such as an actor's assistant. It is a crew member. It is difficult to be an actor again.

There is an unspoken rule in Hollywood: those who are on the crew are on the crew, those who are actors are actors, and those who are directors are directors. Everyone has their own duties, unless they are top superstars, such as Madonna, Stallone, etc. , otherwise don’t think about serialization.

You are a semi-familiar face in Hollywood. It is impossible to say that you are not famous at all, but if you are famous, not many people call you by your name.

Therefore, do you want to be fixed in your identity and get this learning opportunity? This is related to your future development in Hollywood, so you have to make your own decision. "

There was no way Zhang Yimou could help Zhang Ziyi make up his mind on this matter.

Therefore, on such a question, he came back to ask Zhang Ziyi's personal opinion. Zhang Ziyi was silent. It was difficult for her to make up her mind. If she was a person without ambition, then just go.

Anyway, the Asia-Pacific has such a big market. Even if you don’t go to Hollywood to develop, you can still have a good future in the Asia-Pacific. But Zhang Ziyi is not an ordinary actress, she has her own ambitions.

Therefore, at this time, she still very much hopes to go to Hollywood one day.

If one's identity in Hollywood was fixed due to such an incident, then under such a situation, it would be almost impossible.

She would not be willing to do so. Ambition, very powerful ambition, filled her brain at this moment.

But if you lose such an opportunity and want to watch the top crews in Hollywood, it will be a very far away thing.

God knows how many years she will have to struggle before she gets an opportunity like this. This matter is also a very difficult choice for Zhang Ziyi. Wavering between left and right, this is Zhang Ziyi's mood now. (To be continued)
