Chapter 934 Spielberg’s Thoughts

When Tom Cruise saw that Spielberg seemed to have some opinions about Ye Ming, he smiled and said: "Director, you seem to have some opinions about Ye Ming, so why did you choose him? I want you to go to Hollywood." If you find any star to play this role, no one will refuse."

Spielberg thought for a while and said helplessly: "I hate him a little, but that's because he is a young man, a capable young man.

Once a young man has strength, he will inevitably have a proud mentality. I don't like this kind of person very much. But there is no way, we are all in the same company. Even though this guy once rejected me, now we are an agency, both of William Morris Agency, and I still have to compromise on some things. "

Although Spielberg is already at the top of Hollywood, he also has to abide by the rules of the game. One of the rules of the game in Hollywood is that the characters in the movie should take more care of the stars of their own company.

If the company really can't find it, it's not too late to find someone outside. It just so happens that Ye Ming is more suitable for a role like "Minority Report".

As the second person in the crew, it is obvious that Tom Cruise still has a lot of say in such a situation. At this moment, he said with a smile: "If the director is willing, he can arrange to do a scene opposite me. I I will tell him what kind of acting skills make him a top star in Hollywood."

Teach Ye Ming a lesson, that was just Cruise's temporary game idea.

If you don’t teach Ye Ming a lesson, it just depends on his mood or director Spielberg’s opinion.

Spielberg thought for a while and said helplessly: "I think this matter should be discussed in the long term, right? After all, you are from a company, and First International sent you out to bully him. It is true that I have seen his acting skills, and I also It has to be good, but the fusion of styles is a big problem. The fusion of performance styles will be the key to the success or failure of the movie. If Ye Ming can do this, it will be considered good."

The crew resumed filming, and Spielberg once again entered a state of selfless work. For the crew, this may sometimes be a nightmare.

Once Spielberg enters a selfless shooting state, he may not sleep for several days. The working methods of geniuses are sometimes different from others.

In such a tense atmosphere, the crew was still able to proceed in an orderly manner, and it can be seen that Spielberg has great control over the entire crew.

Old Andre got out of the car with a smile and asked someone to put the luggage in the hotel. This was given by the crew. It was a three-star hotel. It couldn't be too high-end. Filming is not a tourist trip.

There are five-star hotels in Hollywood, but according to Ye Ming's status in Hollywood, he is not qualified to live in a five-star hotel in Hollywood.

Although Ye Ming is a superstar in the Asia-Pacific region, when it comes to Hollywood, people in Hollywood know that Ye Ming's role is because of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

Therefore, for Ye Ming in Hollywood, everything is difficult at the beginning. Ye Ming also didn't take this kind of differential treatment to heart. Just because Tom Cruise can have a five-star hotel, it doesn't mean that the crew members have this kind of treatment.

Liangtang is a member of the 20 million-dollar salary club in Hollywood, so it is completely reasonable for him to live in a five-star hotel. Old Andre asked the hotel attendant to arrange Ye Ming's luggage into the room, and then quickly rushed to the set with Ye Ming.

Old Andre was very familiar with it, because he knew that the director had already started working at this time. If he arrived early, he might be able to help. The crew was very busy now. Seeing this situation, Old Andre called out to a staff member.

Then he rushed to the crew directly. Old Andre is worthy of being a veteran drama manager. He settled some issues on the crew within half an hour after returning.

Exception, old Andre has such a strong courage and is not afraid to offend people.

Of course, if it is according to Spielberg's idea, let Ye Ming wait first. But in fact, what Ma Su saw was the pride of the crew. It seemed that only old Andre had nothing to do with Ye Ming.

The other crew members and actors actually don't have much respect for Ye Ming.

I don’t know if Hollywood won’t easily cooperate with Chinese people. This is a different attempt. Seeing this situation, Ma Su said: "Boss, this is too bullying. Boss, you are not treated very well wherever you go. In Hollywood, you were actually taught a lesson by a crew. If word spreads, what should those reporters do? What do you say?"

Xu Zheng also said helplessly: "Director, if this continues, the crew will completely isolate you. Are you looking down on us?"

These two people are very unhappy in their hearts.

As for Li Yapeng, this man is honest and a very good porter. He knows that he is here to learn, so he does not express his own opinions on the changes in external things at all.

Ye Ming waved his hands with a smile and said: "Quiet, everyone, please be quiet, we are just waiting. In Hollywood, if you want to stand out, have highlights and finally love, one is acting and the other is backing. Although acting comes first in filming Yes, but in this situation, you must first show your own value, so that others can think highly of you.

At a time like this, the misunderstanding Westerners have about Chinese people may not necessarily be due to this crew.

I think Hollywood is basically like this. "Ye Ming's view on Hollywood is very correct, and this is indeed a very good result.

Indeed, there are literally dozens of movies being shot in Hollywood every year. But basically every crew will discriminate against Asians.

This was something Ye Ming could not have expected, and Ye Ming was also the one who could completely change everything.

Acting skills, strength, and strong acting skills are the true way to be powerful. The strength background and Ye Ming's treatment are also directly linked.

This time, no one talked to Ye Ming. Regardless of whether Spielberg did it intentionally or not, everyone finally had a new contact.

At this time, Li Yapeng just couldn't stand it.

The atmosphere in this crew was very tense, and Ye Ming seemed to be a redundant person here. It was even said that no one offered to give Ye Ming makeup. I don’t know if this is intended to teach Ye Ming a lesson.

But Ye Ming seemed to be as stable as Mount Tai. Although Ma Su and Xu Zheng vowed to defend Ye Ming, they were just talking and had no good way to solve the problem.

Integration is not just about acting. The first thing Asians need to do when they go to Hollywood to make movies is the integration of acting skills. Even speaking of habits, they all need to be integrated. Otherwise, the Asian will appear to be at risk of being isolated in the crew.

In fact, Ye Ming almost encountered such a thing, and the atmosphere on the crew seemed even weirder.

The entire crew seemed very nervous, because Spielberg had entered a selfless working state this time. When he gave an order, the entire crew would follow suit. This is the only center of the crew, even if Tom Cruise doesn't dare to mess with Spielberg at this time.

But after Ye Ming came in, another center formed in the crew.

In fact, according to Ye Ming's reputation in the entertainment industry, he does not receive such treatment in Hollywood. The only explanation is that on such a problem, because Spielberg attaches great importance to Ye Ming, the crew People subconsciously think that since the director pays attention to Ye Ming, under such a situation, they must also pay attention to Ye Ming.

At least until Ye Ming really decides whether to stay on the crew, everyone's unhappiness will not be taken lightly. You can be indifferent to Ye Ming, but don't provoke Ye Ming. Therefore, there are now two loyal people in the crew.

After a set of shots, it was obvious that Liangtang's performance was very good. For someone as picky as Spielberg, the special envoy nodded, indicating that this set of shots had passed. At this time, old Andre also immediately reported what he had done.

Ye Ming has already taken it over, which naturally means that the director wants to see Ye Ming first and how to arrange Ye Ming. This is the decision that only the director can make.

Moreover, Andre Sr. also hopes that Spielberg will really take that seriously.

However, in fact, under such a situation, Spielberg waved his hand and said: "I understand, old Andre, let this matter go for now, we have to continue shooting today."

Because he has a good relationship with Spielberg, it was at this time that Old Andre had the courage to stand up and say: "Director, I think it would be better for you to meet Ye Ming in such a matter. I always feel that this person is a little special, a little different from the oriental actors I have seen?"

Spielberg was not angry, but looked at old Andre curiously and said: "You never like to intercede with other actors, but today you are making an exception. Tell me what you think? "

Old Andre thought for a while and said: "I don't dare to say my opinion, I just say it's my own feeling.

I have seen more than one or two Eastern actors. Generally, after they arrive in Hollywood, they are always very cautious, for fear of offending someone or breaking some rules.

This is the consistent style of Easterners. But Ye Ming is different. When Ye Ming came to Hollywood, he seemed as relaxed as returning to his own home. I had a conversation with him in the car, and I even said that he would be placed in a three-star hotel. to any fluctuations in his mood.

A young man actually has such a calm attitude. At least this is something that few other actors in the East possess. Therefore, even for this reason, I think it would be better for the director to find an opportunity to meet Ye Ming. "

Old Andre spoke very highly of Ye Ming. Even some actors in Hollywood may not be able to express Ye Ming's relaxed expression when they join the crew directed by Spielberg.

Therefore, at this time, he also solemnly recommended Ye Ming.

Spielberg said with a smile: "Let's wait and see about this matter. Ye Ming is indeed not an ordinary person. His ability to achieve such results has a lot to do with his character.

If we meet him right away, it will be difficult to manage the crew in the future. Therefore, at this time, we have to let him wait to erase his temper. By doing this, it will be easier for everyone to cooperate in the future. We cannot let Ye Ming know that we value him,"

This was something Spielberg had carefully considered. Although it was said that Ye Ming came to participate in the filming, it was somewhat Spielberg's original intention, which is difficult to say clearly.

Just talking about the integration of acting skills mentioned by Spielberg is not like welcoming Ye Ming to the crew. The so-called fusion of acting skills is a professional term in film.

When explaining this term, the first thing to say is the cultural differences between East and West. Since the cultural differences between the East and the West are very big, then in such a situation, the differences between the performances of the East and the West will also be very big. In this regard, whether it is a big director or a fledgling director, The director and even some experienced viewers can easily tell the difference.

There is generally a big difference in the performance styles between Eastern and Western actors. How can we make up for such a difference? This is a question of performance integration.

To be able to achieve performance fusion means to integrate your own acting style into the style of Hollywood actors.

If you can do this, you will be able to gain a foothold in Hollywood. If you cannot do this, it will be impossible to gain a foothold in Hollywood in the future. This is an actor's language barrier. After that, there is another big hurdle.

Therefore, Spielberg said that if Ye Ming said he couldn't do this, he would just pack up his bags and go home.

This is not to say that Spielberg is overbearing, but that in such a situation, Spielberg is responsible for the entire movie. He will not allow an actor whose performance style is different from that of the entire movie to appear in the camera.

This is especially important for some large-scale productions. Because it is a large-scale production with large investments and high risks, no human errors are allowed to affect the quality of the film. (To be continued)
