Chapter 977: With ease

The Best Actor is the Best Actor, and he expresses his inner world with a calm expression, as if he doesn't care about the Blue Dragon Award.

This made the Korean reporter, who had always had a strong self-esteem, very unhappy and said: "Mr. Ye, do you mean that you won't go to the Blue Dragon Award Ceremony?"

Ye Ming coughed, adjusted his mood and said seriously: "I don't mean not to go, but I am indeed very busy during this period. When I was filming a movie with Miss Jun Ji-hyun, it was a very special period. I will miss the days when everyone drank sake together. Director Guo is also a very interesting person. If there is a suitable schedule, I will go there.

If I could reunite with the crew, that would be something I would like to see. However, now I have to promote the Beijing Olympic bid, as well as my movie, two movies are in production, [Slumdog Millionaire], I plan to compete for the Oscar, and, that is to say, Jackson may I will come to China to hold a concert. As a friend, I want to help. Therefore, the schedule is really uncertain. But it does not mean that I don’t value the Blue Dragon Award. I am friends with many people in the Korean entertainment industry. Baldhead I am also very supportive of sports, so if there is a schedule, I will go. "

These words left Korean reporters speechless. Indeed, when Ye Ming was filming a movie in Korea, it happened to be the skinhead movement. When the Korean entertainment industry supported domestic movies, except for the Korean traitor Bae Yongjun, basically all the big names Celebrities will support the bald head movement. Even Ye Ming, a Chinese superstar, has expressed his support for the bald head movement in South Korea. Koreans know this very well because everyone regards Ye Ming as a friend.

Ye Ming said this, and the Korean reporter really said that he could not find a reason to continue to fight back.

Therefore, under such a situation, he immediately shifted his interest to Jackson: "Mr. Ye said that Jackson will come to China to hold a concert?

When did this happen? There are no similar rumors in the United States. "

As the King of Pop Music, Jackson's every move will attract intense attention from everyone. Therefore, if Jackson said that he would go to China to hold a concert, at least there would be no news from the United States. But the current situation is that there are no similar rumors in the American entertainment industry.

Ye Ming looked like he had known you would ask this question for a long time, and said calmly: "This is normal, because this matter was discussed by Jackson and I. Last time I went to attend Jackson's 20th anniversary concert. At that time, we talked about such a thing, so there will probably be no major problems with this concert. Of course, before this, the one thing I can tell you for sure is that Jackson will bid for the Olympics. Appearing at the countdown party.”

This news is very surprising. In fact, everyone here wants to know some of Ye Ming's recent situation. What new plans does Ye Ming say he will have in the future? This is what everyone is paying attention to. However, under such a situation, no one thought that this guy Ye Ming would actually announce such a surprising news.

Many reporters were whispering to each other, exchanging their opinions one after another. The entire venue was almost in chaos.

At this moment, an American reporter, a tall white man, stood up and said: "Mr. Ye, I am John, a reporter from the New York Times. Mr. Jackson has always been difficult to hire, and he has encountered some troubles recently. Are you willing to come to China?"

Jackson is not a kind star in the eyes of the American media. Therefore, for a star like Jackson, many American reporters will admit that it is difficult to interview him under such circumstances. Superstar, aloof and peerless, this is the impression Jackson gave the media.

Therefore, John believed that inviting Jackson was not an easy task.

Ye Ming tapped his fingers lightly on the table, listened carefully to the question, and then answered: "I think the media has some misunderstandings about Mr. Jackson. The Jackson I know is not the person you said. He is kind and approachable. I think he is a very successful philanthropist and an excellent singer. Therefore, I think Mr. Jackson is not that difficult to get along with. I actually mentioned the concert incident casually and said, China has a population of more than one billion. Are you willing to give up such a huge market?

Jackson agreed to come. It's that simple. "

As for John, a stubborn white man, he had the attitude of asking for answers. He said very stubbornly: "Mr. Ye, I think China's piracy is too rampant, even if Jackson wants to enter." If we enter this market, under such circumstances, piracy will be very rampant in the market." This naturally means that China is not very good at copyright protection. Ye Ming did not expect that the white reporter John would ask such a question. This is a very tricky question.

The issue of copyright has always been an insurmountable peak for China. At this time, no one would believe Ye Ming’s answer that copyright would not be a big problem in China.

The simplest example is that when China's computers use hype systems, at least 70% to 80% will not use genuine ones. Microsoft's plan is to use pirated versions to cultivate the market first, and then genuine versions will occupy the market.

But they thought of the beginning of the story, but not the end. Good guy, piracy has taken over the market, but later Microsoft still underestimated the ability of China's copycats. The genuine version almost said that it could not be sold, and it was impossible to steal the chicken. That's what rice is.

Therefore, many foreigners have some complaints about China's copyright protection. Ye Ming pondered for two seconds. He did not dare to stay too much. He just said that he adjusted the microphone in front of him, which was considered a delay of two seconds. At that time, Ye Ming said calmly: "If Jackson doesn't come to China, then we won't have Michael's pirated albums here?"

It seemed that this sentence left John speechless. He could think of this with his toes. This was simply impossible. Therefore, in such a situation, John said with a guilty conscience: "But no one can deny that China's copyright protection is not good enough."

Ye Ming immediately countered: "It's not that what we have done is not good enough, but that no country can do well at the beginning. The United States has been doing copyright protection for how many years, almost a hundred years. It’s been around 20 years, but we in China have only paid attention to an issue like copyright for 20 or 30 years to be exact.

Therefore, there is no comparison between the two. I don’t believe that copyright protection in the United States was very good and flawless at the beginning? It is really difficult to say whether Edison invented the electric light or not.

It’s just that Edison applied for a patent relatively early. In this matter, the US patent law does not play a very glorious role. "

This issue is still controversial in the United States. It can be seen that the United States did not do a good job in copyright protection at the beginning. Such an answer left John speechless. This matter, the United States is a mess.

Ye Ming immediately pursued the victory and said: "Let's not talk about this issue. Anyway, Jackson's coming to China will be very helpful to his market in China. This is enough."

John had to give up on this issue. The United States also has a disgraceful history in patent protection. If you have been a bandit yourself, don't laugh at other bandits.

Therefore, John wisely shut up and changing the subject was his wisest choice. Because at this time, John had already said that he saw the strong momentum in Ye Ming's eyes, which was an overwhelming spiritual advantage.

This kind of strong suppression can only explain one problem, that is, in such a situation, Ye Ming is very angry.

Therefore, John immediately changed his tune and said: "Of course, for the huge market in China, I believe that not only Jackson will be interested, but Hollywood will also be very interested. Mr. Ye just said that his movie [Slumdog Millionaire] Rich Man] is going to compete for the Oscar, but I know that the Oscar is not that easy to compete for. Are you very confident in your work?"

Ye Ming might not be happy when talking about Jackson, but when it comes to a matter like this, John is talking about Ye Ming's own work. This is a question that Ye Ming cannot avoid.

Moreover, the purpose of this press conference was actually to promote his works, which everyone knew very well. Therefore, Ye Ming must directly face this question from reporters. In this matter, Ye Ming said these words himself, so he should know what he meant by these words.

Ye Ming had already expected what the press conference would say, so he said calmly: "This is not about confidence. A cook who doesn't want to be a general is not a good driver. Therefore, as a film director, he doesn't want to win an Oscar." As for the prize, that is simply a fantasy.

Therefore, I think there is nothing bad to say about using this movie to compete for Oscars. I tried my best to make this movie the best I could, from the script to the acting, I kept striving for excellence.

As for whether the content of this movie is more suitable for the aesthetic taste of the Oscar judges under such circumstances, it is really difficult to say clearly. We in China have a saying that it’s up to people to make things happen, and it’s up to God to make things happen. I think it’s very good. "

John understood a lot of what he said, but there was one sentence that he didn't understand. So, John didn't feel embarrassed at all and said: "Mr. Ye, I want to ask a private question. I don't want to be a general." The cook is not a good driver. What does this mean? There is a similar saying in the West, saying that a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. It seems to be Napoleon who said this. What great man said this of yours?"

After these words came out, they immediately aroused laughter from the reporters at the scene, especially the reporters from China, whether they were from the mainland, the island, or the Hong Kong city, they all laughed very happily. At this time, John was laughing so hard that he felt very guilty. Good guy, how did this happen?

Seeing his colleagues laughing, John said in disbelief: "What's wrong with this? Is there anything wrong with what I said? Wasn't this what Napoleon said?"

Maybe, John thought he remembered it wrong. It wasn't Napoleon who said this, or Washington. No, maybe it was Churchill or Roosevelt. Of course it couldn't be Stalin, right? This time, John had strong doubts about his memory in his mind.

At this time, Yu Guo was more kind. He almost cried with laughter, but in the end he stood up: "John, my friend, a cook who doesn't want to be a general is not a good driver. This sentence is not a great man." What he said was a cross talk actor named Guo Degang. Don’t ask what a cross talk actor is. Just know that he is a Mr. Bean type actor.”

More to say, this is a kind of well-intentioned ridicule by Ye Ming just now. Maybe you can also think that Ye Ming said it like this on purpose. One advantage of saying it like this is that it can recommend Guo Degang. After all, Lao Guo is also a member of his own company. Now that he has the opportunity to promote Lao Guo, why not do it.

At this time, John seemed to realize that he had made mistakes in some aspects. According to Yu Guo, if this sentence was said by a comedian, then this sentence is a line. However, the leap of this sentence is simply too big.

If he hadn't thought about what this sentence meant, John wouldn't have asked such a question stupidly.

Originally, he wanted to ask some questions that would make Ye Ming feel ugly, but at this time, John also realized that there would be no good ending in his fight with Ye Ming, so he looked as dejected as a defeated rooster. Sit down.

Ye Ming is very good at dealing with reporters. It can be understood from Ye Ming's previous press conferences that Ye Ming is not the kind of impulsive person. When dealing with reporters, Ye Ming is like a cunning fox.

Therefore, at least reporters from China or the Asia-Pacific region will be very alert when they ask questions about Ye Ming. As for plotting against Ye Ming, at least there is no such reporter among the reporters around the Asia-Pacific region. ideas. (To be continued)
