Entertainment Empire System

The night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I used them to find the light. Gu Cheng's generation, Gu Cheng used the tragic ending to tell everyone that being a poet is not easy. Finding the light is not so easy. Ye Ming didn't leave. His work was finished at this time.

He should go back, but now he is not leaving. When he was filming Minority Report last time, Ye Ming had already seen the comprehensive strength of Hollywood movies. It was a system backed by a powerful industrial system, all serving movies.

There are various professional talents in Hollywood. For example, the Statue of Liberty in The Day After Tomorrow was made from a prop that was a high imitation of the Statue of Liberty. This prop master named Anderson made the Statue of Liberty. , if it is placed in the same position as the Statue of Liberty, then the shadow angle of the crown of the goddess under the sun will be the same.

This is professional. It is said that Andy has been working on the Statue of Liberty for 40 years. He is the top prop master in Hollywood. In China, if someone is professional in making props for 40 years, even if he has been working professionally for 10 years, let alone 40 years. , will also starve to death.

Usually, Chinese prop masters work part-time as lighting or dramaturg, or even as on-site mass directors.

Anyway, one specialty can do many things. Otherwise, if you just talk about how much it costs to make props professionally, you will starve to death sooner or later. Of course, if you are talking about people from the film studio or the public sector, just pretend that I didn’t say anything. Chinese films have a long way to go to learn from Hollywood’s advanced experience.

Therefore, Luo Tian happened to have some free time during this period and planned to stay and visit Hollywood carefully. Ye Ming went to the Los Angeles branch of Huihuang.com to have a look. Of course, he also checked the work, and then took the area to prepare for a visit to Hollywood.

However, at this time, the mobile phone rang. This mobile phone was allocated to Ye Ming by the Los Angeles branch of Huihuang.com for easy contact. Not many people knew about it. Except for a few people such as Sister Fang Fang from the company, almost no one knew about it. .

What Luo Tian's friends know is that he owns a domestic mobile phone, and he can just call this directly if he needs anything.

A staff member from Huihuang.com said: "Zhang Yimou came with someone and said he was going to attend the Golden Globe Awards. He knew that Ye Ming was in Hollywood, so he wanted to contact him because he couldn't get through to his phone number. I went directly to the Los Angeles branch of Huihuang.com.”

At this time, Luo Tian looked at his domestic mobile phone. Sure enough, it was out of battery. He found a convenience store and discussed it with the shop owner. The shop owner was very happy for two dollars. You can charge for as long as you like. For two dollars, the shopkeeper made a lot.

It turned out that Ye Ming was an Asian who was traveling for a long time. The shop owner didn't have to pay a dollar for electricity at this time, so he made a lot of money.

Just when Ye Ming was about to charge it, he realized that it was not working. At this time, the shop owner took a look at Ye Ming's mobile phone and said, "Oh my God, is this mobile phone brought from Asia?"

The standard voltage here is 110 volts, which is different from the 220 volts you have over there. Therefore, if you charge it, you need a converter. Please note that the two dollars you gave me are non-refundable. How about it? A converter costs ten dollars, which is the most reasonable price in Hollywood. "

Ye Ming is so angry. Why is the voltage of 110 volts regulated in the United States? In the past, the production company arranged everything in the United States. Sister Fang and other staff were responsible for charging Ye Ming's mobile phone. Therefore, he did not consider this at all. One thing, consider that the voltage in the United States is different from that in China.

But the owner of this convenience store is too bullying. This converter obviously costs less than three dollars. It is the kind that is sold to tourists, but it costs ten dollars. How can Ye Ming endure living like this? What a deprivation.

Therefore, he said without hesitation: "Wait a minute, I'll go out for a while."

Go out directly, find a deserted place, and turn on the ********* system. After Ye Ming's acting skills reached the movie king level, he rarely uses this system now, because he is lonely and invincible. There are only a few people who can suppress Ye Ming in terms of acting skills. Therefore, using the ******** system is almost a waste.

But this time, Ye Ming really couldn't stand the store owner's extortion, so he opened the props directly and chose the universal charging storage device.

In an instant, there was an Apple-sized charger socket in Ye Ming's hand. A future high-tech product, it takes five minutes to charge and lasts for two years. It has a built-in quantum inhalation system that can absorb about a second in one second. Hundreds of kilowatt hours of electricity.

Anyway, Ye Ming didn't think there was anything wrong with using this to deal with the stingy shopkeeper. After returning home, plug it directly into the convenience store socket, connect your phone, and start charging.

The shop owner came over and looked at Ye Ming curiously and said, "Man, your charging converter is good. The design is quite beautiful. Is it the latest model from Steve Jobs? I heard that Lao Qiao is going to design a new mobile phone. Did you also get a charger?”

The shop owner was very happy now, but he never expected that in less than an hour, he would not be able to laugh anymore.

Ye Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "It was given by a friend. I don't know if it is really that useful. I just put it in my bag without thinking about it. You just reminded me that I found it."

At this time, the convenience store owner was a little frustrated. If he had said that he had not warned him, maybe Ye Ming would have bought those chargers when he saw them in the convenience store. Unfortunately, this time a business was ruined like this. .

After six minutes, Ye Ming thought it was good. If it was fully charged for ten minutes, the shop owner would probably go bankrupt, so he took off the charger and left. At this time, the shop owner kindly reminded Ye Ming whether he should charge for a little longer to avoid unnecessary charging. Not enough. Ye Ming naturally refused decisively. The next day, someone from the power supply department called the shop owner and told him that his electricity bill was worth it.

The shop owner said depressingly: "It's impossible. I just paid five thousand yuan last month, which is almost my electricity consumption for a year. If you hack my electricity bill, be careful I will sue you."

The power supply department swore that it had proof that the convenience store was using electricity quickly and that it was not afraid to go to court. If the store owner did not pay, he would be banned directly. In the end, the store owner naturally sued, and the court investigated. The power supply department recorded that the convenience store's electricity consumption increased rapidly during a certain period of time, and it directly used more than 4,000 US dollars in electricity. This is a scientific measurement method.

Therefore, if the power supply department has to prove that the convenience store has indeed used so many points, whoever sues will provide evidence. This is the rule.

Later, the power supply department couldn't find any evidence and lost the lawsuit. The convenience store owner didn't have to take any money. This fee was included in the ranks of bad debts by the power supply department. Don't think that the United States has bad trade debts. The United States has more bad debts than China. Gone.

Zhang Yimou called and asked Ye Ming to meet at a hotel in Hollywood. The bus went directly and stopped at the door of the hotel. At this moment, Zhang Yimou was waiting at the station nearby. This is Hollywood anyway, and Zhang Yimou is not afraid of being recognized. In fact, in China Most directors will not be recognized when they arrive in Hollywood. It is even said that most stars will not be recognized in the same way.

Except for a few Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and others, they are basically treated like passers-by. Of course, there is also Ye Ming who will be recognized now. But even if this is the case, people in Hollywood actually don't feel anything.

Even the cleaners here have actually seen a lot of big stars. It's no wonder that they have seen so many celebrities. Oscar winners and the like are often seen in Hollywood.

Therefore, Zhang Yimou waited at the station without any pressure at all. Seeing Luo Tian arrive at the platform, Zhang Yimou stood up to greet him and said very happily: "Being able to wait for the bus in a place where no one knows me is very relaxing. In China, this is for me, It’s a luxury.”

In fact, in Hollywood, there are also convenient places. Generally, there will be no cheers here just because some big stars arrive.

Hollywood is the biggest star. If you haven’t been to the capital, you won’t know how old you are. If you haven’t been to Shanghai, you won’t know how much money there is. Anyway, in the entertainment industry, if you haven’t been to Hollywood, you won’t know how many stars there are. There is a relaxed atmosphere here, a relaxed atmosphere artistically.

In fact, just look at those people on the street who are filming with a home camera. Maybe they will be big directors in a few decades. Anyway, in Hollywood, as long as you register and don't delay others on the street, you can shoot whatever you like.

Of course, if you want to block the streets, you need to apply in advance, which requires quite troublesome procedures.

But if you are talking about general photography, then there is not much of a problem. This is the movie kingdom, Hollywood.

Ye Ming put his shoulder on your shoulder and said, "It's really rare to feel relaxed. I just finished filming Emmerich's The Day After Tomorrow yesterday. I'm quite shocked by the Hollywood film industry. The last time I filmed Minority Report At that time, I wanted to go to a restaurant, but then I had to leave due to domestic matters.

As a result, I now have some time to think about other people's film industry. By the way, Director Zhang, aren't you filming heroes? When is the time to come to the United States?

As Zhang Yimou led Ye Ming back to the hotel, he said: "Originally, I really wanted to take pictures of the atmosphere of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is winter now, and the south of the Yangtze River is also desolate. I wonder if it will be spring, when the flowers bloom. I was looking for a scene to take pictures of, so I stopped first.

Of course, this time I came for the Golden Globe Awards, and I brought Li Lianjie, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Manyu and others over. I originally wanted to bring Lao Chen with me, but Lao Chen was unwilling to come. Just a few of us came. "

In the hotel box, as expected, there were Li Lianjie, Zhang Manyu, Zhang Ziyi and others, and of course Zhang Weiping. In fact, your status in the entertainment industry can be seen at this moment.

Zhang Weiping works alone. He is the producer and is separate from the actors. Among the actors, Li Lianjie is naturally the eldest, and Zhang Manyu is qualified to have better acting skills than Zhang Ziyi. Therefore, although in such a situation, Zhang Ziyi He was Zhang Yimou's favorite general, but no matter how he said it, he was not as good as Zhang Manyu, so he was placed below Zhang Manyu and was directly pushed to the back.

. After Zhang Yimou came in, Zhang Ziyi obviously became energetic and became very energetic.

At this moment, Li Lianjie made a gap and said: "Ye Ming, I didn't expect to meet you here. Come and let's chat."

In fact, sitting under Li Lianjie, this is the second position of the actor, but Zhang Manyu hesitated and didn't say anything. After all, Ye Ming is indeed qualified enough to sit in the second position.

In terms of performance, Zhang Manyu was indeed the loser and I dare not say that she beat Ye Ming, and the entertainment industry is also a male-dominated place. Li Liangjie pulled Ye Ming over, but Zhang Manyu didn't say anything in the end.

Otherwise, it would be possible to offend not only Li Lianjie, but also Ye Ming and even Zhang Yimou. Therefore, when it comes to such an issue, it can be seen that Zhang Manyu is very cautious.

After sitting down, Zhang Yimou continued the previous topic and said: "Yi Zi, you just said that you saw a gap between Hollywood and Chinese movies. What do you think? The person sitting now is also a top person in the entertainment industry. We should face up to this gap. You can’t live in your own little circle.”

This is a fact. You can't make a movie behind closed doors. You have to open your eyes to see the world when making a movie. Therefore, Ye Ming's views at this time are actually quite valuable.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Well, actually, I have a feeling that when I get to Hollywood, I feel that Chinese movies have a goal. When it comes to scripts, Hollywood can't catch up with us in China. In terms of humanization and plot, China has incomparable Advantages cannot be compensated by high technology.

But now we in China have such a profound cultural heritage that we cannot introduce it to the world. This is because our film industry is not good enough and our film output is not strong enough. Therefore, we still need to learn. In a word, the night gave me a pair of black eyes, but I have to use them to find the light. We need to learn from Hollywood’s advanced technology. "

Li Lianjie thought about it and said, "This poem is good. Who wrote it." As a martial arts practitioner since childhood, Li Lianjie did not have a very good cultural foundation, so it was strange not to know.

Ye Ming immediately said: "This poem of Gu Cheng's generation is a very classic. It is one of the phenomenal poems in modern poetry. And the first paragraph of Shizhi's Believe in the Future, Bian Zhilin's [Fragment of Chapter]. And Haizi's The first paragraph of "Facing the sea, spring flowers are blooming" is known as the four great songs in lyric poetry. Of course, among these people, Gu Cheng killed his wife and committed suicide, Haizi committed suicide, and although Index Finger did not commit suicide, he went to a mental hospital. Bian Zhilin and Mr. Bian are translators, and poets are just amateurs. Therefore, most of these four people will not end well." (To be continued)
