Entertainment Empire System

Silence is sometimes a sign of cowardice, provided you have enough strength and choose silence.

Li Lianjie is such a person. He has enough strength. It is not easy for a star to become a first-line movie star in Hollywood. Eighty percent of people in Hollywood are actors who are struggling in the second or third tier or even below. Of the remaining 20%, at least 10% are directors of special effects and the like, and the remaining 8% or so , will be the kind of first-line actors. As for the remaining two percent, they are top superstars. Because if you become a top superstar, it will be difficult for you to step down as long as you don't commit suicide.

Of course, this is about white actors. European actors are easier to get along with in Hollywood than yellow actors. Because Europeans despise Americans in terms of qualifications. Although Europe cannot compete with the United States now, Americans are a group of people who escaped from Europe. At first, these people were mostly gangsters, robbers, nobles who could not survive, adventurers, etc. .

Anyway, real nobles will not go to the United States in the first place.

Therefore, Europeans are qualified to despise the identity of Americans and think that Americans are pseudo-aristocratic. Americans really do this. Caucasians are really easy to get along with in the United States. As for people of the yellow race, there are very few people who can blend in. Basically, there are only a handful of people who can blend into the first line.

If such a number were replaced by Huaxia, then such a number would be one hand left, including Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, Michelle Yeoh, and of course, the remaining one is the Kung Fu Emperor Li Liangjie.

Zhang Ziyi is not included. Although she has been involved in several A-level Hollywood productions, they are all based on soy sauce. Therefore, Chinese actors in Hollywood are actually four people. Not counting Bruce Lee, the god of kung fu, these four people are holding the scene. Of course, there is still Ye Ming there to carry him.

Li Lianjie pondered for a moment and continued: "In the past, Chinese people in the United States lived like dogs. Whether you admit it or not, it was like this. Later, when our country became stronger, the Chinese people straightened their backs outside. Weak countries The phrase "no diplomacy" applies to the entertainment industry as well. Bruce Lee's ability to become an idol of the era, if you look at the trajectory, is almost the same as the rise of China.

And you are qualified to repeat Bruce Lee's path. Well, in Hollywood, I knelt, laughed, and bowed my head to get to where I am today. But I don’t play anymore. I’m not happy. The Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger now. I won’t accompany you. You guys played.

What Wind Talker, fuck the Wind Talker, I can’t see that this is a trap to provoke a civil war between the two of us? After I come back, I will do charity. With the remuneration this time, I will set up a charity fund called a fund. Each person will donate one yuan. If a small amount is added up, it will help many people. "

Hearing this, Ye Ming was shocked. Li Lianjie actually had such thoughts in his heart. Many people said that the wolf dog Danny he photographed was an insult to the Chinese people. They all said that he had taken a photo with the monk, but these did not stop him at all. Determination to do charity.

I won’t play with you anymore. Who do you Hollywood love? Thinking about it carefully now, if Li Lianjie was really related to that monk and was directly banned, he would not be in charge of half of the kung fu movies in China.

The country doesn't care, other people say nothing.

Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Your idea is good, but I don't think you will get more applause if you do it. You know, you are a superstar in China, and the only one who can compare with you is Cheng Long. The average Chinese person, or even the middle class, would say that the pay for one of your films is enough for a lifetime of hard work.

But at this time, you are doing charity yourself and urging people to donate. You have so much money, why don’t you use your own money to do it and ask everyone to donate. Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment, and then said nonchalantly: "I have thought about this matter. China's national conditions are like this, but I think that you don't need so many reasons to do good things. I just have a clear conscience. I don't need so many reasons." Why should I give more applause? The Buddha said that fate arises and fate perishes, but it is just a dream. It is my own business to have money. I use my own money for charity. It is like water without a source, and it will always be used up one day.

But if we set up a charity fund, then everyone would donate money and let everyone help everyone. It would be like having an ocean. As for what other people say, I don't care. Anyway, I have a clear conscience and let them say whatever they want. Anyway, as time goes by, everyone will know what kind of person I am. "

This is what Li Lianjie said, and this is what he did. Therefore, on this issue, although his One Foundation, although it was at the beginning, some people did say that if you have money, why don't you do charity yourself? topic, but as time went by, these voices shut up.

Anyway, Li Lianjie and his One Foundation are doing good things. Just do them with a clear conscience and don't want too much applause.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "That's right, justice is in the heart. Nacheng, I told Director Zhang about this matter. [Hero] you can do it. I think if you express your thoughts, the same will happen over there." Will support you.

What do you think of this yard? If it works, I will give you an office space for the One Foundation. The rent will be 12 yuan a year and 1 yuan a month. "

Li Lianjie glanced at Ye Ming and said: "You said you were willing to give up, but you can't. Personal friendships are private friendships, and the foundation belongs to the foundation. I can't make those others dependent. At this time, everything is about Do it yourself and operate it yourself, otherwise you will always rely on others and you will not be able to do it for a long time. I have selected three places in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong City, and they are being renovated. If you have time, One Foundation will start I would be very grateful if you come to support me every time.”

Li Lianjie had his own persistence. Ye Ming said helplessly: "There's no problem in going. Just call in advance and I will attend on time. But why are you so stubborn?"

Li Lianjie said resolutely: "The One Fund I want to build is not the One Fund for me, Li Lianjie, but the One Fund for the entire society. After all, the money is donated by everyone. If I want the One Fund, even if I, Li Lianjie, leave, I can still do it." This is my hope if it continues to operate. Only in this way can the fund be able to last longer. By the way, I heard that [Wind Talker] has also approached you. Why don't you give it a try? Considering your influence in Hollywood, Wu Yusen and those speculators will consider it."

Ye Ming's reputation in Hollywood is not as good as Li Linjie's, but Ye Ming's influence is well-deserved as the number one person in China. A brilliant network, which brings together all Hollywood film companies, independent producers and so on, feeds them to death, no It is said that no one has built a video website by bypassing Huihuang.com, but the results have been miserable. Quantum Fund will not let others snatch the hen that lays golden eggs.

At least until Ye Ming's patent expires, they will not allow others to do this. Therefore, on such a problem, if you want to start a video website, then you can cooperate with Huihui.com at this time. Huihui.com We will help you build your website. Of course, don’t expect to get the source code of the website. Huihuang.com will seize the source code and pay you every year to maintain the website for you.

Up to now, the people in the White House are thinking about cracking Ye Ming's patents while filing a lawsuit with Huihuang.com. This bad debt is expected to have no results in a short time. The White House uses antitrust law, but Ye Ming uses patent law.

Lawyers at Quantum Fund enjoy fighting lawsuits against the U.S. government, especially lawsuits that are unlikely to be lost.

It is said that this lawsuit has already reached the Supreme Court and is waiting for a ruling there. But the White House did something that shocked all Americans. They cooperated with Huihuang.com and established a special website for the White House. While fighting the lawsuit, they cooperated with Huihui.com. This kind of bloody thing can only be done by the US government. out.

Therefore, this lawsuit has plenty of time to fight. Of course, in order to ease the lawsuit with the US government, Huihuang.com finally gave in and released part of the source code, allowing the US government to control its own video website. However, the contract also stipulates that if the US government If the government transfers the source code to others, it is a breach of contract and will have to pay compensation. The president can be impeached.

Impeaching the president has always been the favorite thing of American justices, whether it is Nixon or Clinton. The Supreme Justice of the United States is happy to impeach a president and go down in history.

Therefore, the White House does not dare to take risks at this time. God knows what the wealthy Wall Street gang will do to protect their own interests.

Later, it is said that the White House also studied the source code and found that it was incomplete. Later, it was discontinued. How huge is Ye Ming's source code?

Therefore, Ye Ming is not well-known in Hollywood, but his influence is something no one dares to ignore. Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not fun, it's not fun. Windtalker is destined to be a disappointing work. Although the investment is huge, I also have some understanding of the general script, but the one who cheats me is the director Wu Yusen. , it’s not that director Wu Yusen can’t do big productions, but he is from China.

Asking the Chinese to make a foreign war movie is like asking Spielberg to make "Heroes". It's the kind of Western chef who makes Chinese food. Anyway, the food he makes is absolutely nondescript. It is undeniable that director Wu Yusen is powerful, but using Chinese chefs to cook Western food is impossible to succeed.

Therefore, I will not go to [Windtalker]. "Ye Ming was very sure of what he did, and Li Lianjie was a little surprised by the certainty. At this moment, Li Lianjie's eyes widened, and finally said: "You can get the script of Wind Talker. I really didn't expect it. Look. Come on you are more informed than I thought. "

Ye Ming did not say it clearly. I just knew that Windtalker was a failure, a film that failed so badly that it almost caused MGM to go bankrupt.

At that moment, Ye Ming said: "The Writers Guild of America is not an iron plate. All scripts will be submitted to the Guild for review and filing. We help them build the Video Website of the Writers Guild. The fees are very cheap, so I want to know Some things are relatively easy. This movie is a pit, a big pit. It’s best if you don’t jump into it. Come back and make heroes. This will be a landmark movie, although I think the script of this movie is There are also some weak points, but this is a proposition composition, and some small flaws cannot cover up its greatness."

Hero is indeed a movie that leaves people speechless. Whether you like it or not, people have made money, and they have made a lot of money. Whether it is success or failure, the movie still depends on the box office. Although the box office cannot represent everything, no matter what it is, there is no Box office, talking about other arts and so on, is nonsense. For example, [Apocalypse Now] is the same.

A director as great as Coppola also suffered a setback.

[Apocalypse Now] A movie like this can be said to be perfect except for the box office, but this is useless.

Although "Hero" cannot compare with "Apocalypse Now", it was a success at the box office, so like "Hero" it will become one of China's most successful film works.

Li Lianjie was a little surprised that Ye Ming could comment so highly on [Hero]. He was stunned for a moment and said, "I thought your evaluation of this movie would be very high, otherwise you wouldn't come to audition."

When I came to the audition, I naturally wanted to get this role, but in the end, Ye Ming's evaluation of the movie didn't seem to be very high.

Therefore, this incident surprised Li Lianjie. Retarded. The lines in this movie made Ye Ming evaluate it as mentally retarded. Naturally, there must be something to complain about. Regarding such a question, Ye Ming did not belittle the movie, but he also did not praise it.

If this kind of comment were to spread, it would probably be a headline again at this time. Regarding such a matter, Ye Ming said directly: "High is high, but in terms of lines, this is indeed a bit deceiving, but I have no intention of telling Lao Zhang. If I do, Lao Zhang will be unhappy. of."

[Hero] This movie is the one that Zhang Yimou attaches most importance to. It can be said that Zhang Yimou regards this movie as his own masterpiece. Therefore, on such a question, if Ye Ming raised it If any negative opinions come, you can imagine what the result will be.

This matter is definitely Zhang Yimou's dead end. Although Lao Zhang has a good temper, no matter what it is, this matter is his bottom line.

Ye Ming knew it, but he would not touch it foolishly. What's more, even if "Hero" has these retarded lines, it will not prevent it from becoming a milestone movie in China. (To be continued)
