Zhang Yibai did not dare to neglect, and immediately asked the driver to take Ye Ming straight to the airport. If there was no big deal, Han Shanping would never let his secretary come over, so Zhang Yibai did not dare to delay for a moment. The sky is clear, the blue sky is spread in the sky like a velvet blanket, without a trace of clouds, the sun is like fire, and the scorching sunshine unbridledly exudes the heat of summer. Everything seems to be in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in a big steamer, except for the rolling river, which seems to be more and more turbulent. In the car, Zhang Yibai was blowing on the air conditioner, but he didn't feel how cool it was. Finally he couldn't help but said: "Ye Ming, tell the truth, why did the Third Master come to you?" At this time, Ye Ming was also a little confused. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "Director, I swear, I really don't know. I'm still wondering why the third master came to me." At this time, Zhang Yibai looked at him in confusion. Ye Ming said: "Isn't it what Third Master told you about Mao Duoduo?" He always thought that the third master should have told Ye Ming such important news, so he had no doubt about the authenticity of the news. At that moment, Ye Ming shook his head and said, "No, it wasn't the Third Master who told me. In fact, it was Director Zhang Yimou who told me the news yesterday. Do you understand?" Of course Zhang Yibai understood that Mao Duoduo's words offended the Imperial Master. Now, anyone with a discerning eye can see whether the Imperial Master was acting behind his back. No wonder Mao Duoduo was so unlucky. It turned out that he had offended such a great god. At Pudong International Airport, Han Shanping's secretary Xiao Li walked out of the aisle alone without even bothering to salute, and immediately saw Ye Ming waiting outside. This young man is not simple. Xiao Li looked at the young man in front of him who was younger than himself. However, even the third master attached great importance to the value shown at this moment.
After winning the title of king in the first battle, Ye Ming's position in the third master's heart will become even more important. Otherwise, I would never let myself come here. Thinking of this, Xiao Li walked forward without showing off and introduced himself very politely. Of course, Ye Ming also introduced Zhang Yibai. Zhang Yibai knew very well that Ye Ming was helping him expand his network. Being able to have a relationship with Han Shanping's secretary would make things much easier in the future. Aren’t these relationships in the film and television industry developed step by step? Anyway, there is nothing wrong with getting to know each other first. When Zhang Yibai said that he wanted to invite Xiao Li to dinner, Xiao Li decisively refused and said very seriously: "I'm sorry, Director Zhang, I have something else to do. I came to Ye Ming to take him back right away. Yes, I already asked when I came here. There will be a direct flight to the capital in half an hour, and Ye Ming and I will follow him back. Director Han is waiting in the capital, but I don't dare to delay." Having said this, Zhang Yibai naturally understood that the matter must be very urgent, and immediately asked the driver to buy two plane tickets and deliver them over. On the plane, Ye Ming wanted to ask what was going on, but this made him feel unsure at all. At this time, Xiao Li said very mysteriously: "The task that Director Han gave me was to find you, but he didn't tell me the rest. I didn't dare to ask about other things." The plane arrived in Beijing soon, and it was time for lunch, but Xiao Li didn't dare to stay for a moment, so he took Ye Ming and took a taxi straight to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television. After arriving at the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, Ye Ming was still confused. What was going on? His film company had completed post-production and sent it for inspection. Could it be that there was something wrong with the film? Impossible, this is impossible. [Crazy Stone] is just a comedy, so it definitely shouldn’t eliminate problems, right? In Han Shanping's office, Ye Ming was sitting across from him, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward. Han Shanping then said: "Ye Ming, I really didn't expect that you, boy, would make such a big move for me. You will be crowned king in one battle." , this time, your company should have made a lot of money, right? Record sales exceeded two million, no, it is said to have passed the three million mark. Ye Ming is said to have counted money until his hands cramped. Ye Ming immediately said politely: "Third Master, you are joking. It's just luck. What are your orders for coming to me?" Han Shanping didn't seem to be too entangled in this issue. He immediately said: "Recently, there have been floods in South China and Northeast China. I think you should know about it." Basically everyone knows this news, Ye Ming immediately nodded, but he didn't know what Han Shanping meant, and he didn't dare to express his position casually. At that moment, Han Shanping said: "Actually, the matter is more serious than what was reported on TV. The higher-ups decided to boost morale. In order to show our determination to fight the flood to the end, we decided to send a group of people to the front line of the flood fight to express condolences. Moreover, we will do this next time A disaster relief concert will be held every month. The purpose of my coming to you this time is to ask if you are willing to go to the front line of flood relief to express my condolences." Ye Ming asked tentatively: "First line? There should be some uncertainties."
Han Shanping was stunned at first. It was unlikely that Ye Ming actually understood this relatively well. But looking at Ye Ming's expression, it seemed that he had stopped something. At that moment, Han Shanping said immediately: "Of course, there are some uncertain factors, but we will try our best to ensure the personal safety of those who go to express condolences. Moreover, we will not let you go in vain, there will be rewards. I suggest you follow go." Ye Ming didn't say anything. This was a political mission and he couldn't refuse it. On the contrary, it was always beneficial to agree happily. At that moment, Ye Ming said decisively: "Okay, if the third master says there is no problem, then there is absolutely no problem. I agree." Although he agreed happily, until he left Han Shanping's office, he was still confused. Wouldn't he just go to the front line of the flood fight to express his condolences? At this moment, Ye Ming suddenly met an acquaintance in the corridor and immediately greeted him: "Director Feng, why are you here too?" The person who came was none other than Feng Xiaogang. He was dressed in casual clothes and looked a little tired. It looked like he had just been pulled over from the set. Feng Xiaogang looked back and was amused: "Ye Ming, you boy, I heard that you went to Shanghai to film a movie? By the way, I know why you came here. You also have a film that has been submitted for review, right?" Ye Ming asked in confusion: "Director Feng, what on earth is going on? I'm so confused. I was filming in Shanghai and was directly summoned by the third master." Feng Xiaogang laughed loudly and said: "Not only you, but also several directors who have films released this year have been summoned. It is said that an internal meeting is going to be held. Chen Kaige, Ye Daying, Yang Yazhou, are they here anyway? Young master, you’ll find out when you go in.” Sure enough, when they walked into the conference room, Ye Daying and Yang Yazhou were already waiting inside, and there were a few others who looked like directors and producers, but Ye Ming was not familiar with them, so he didn't say hello. Feng Xiaogang, on the other hand, greeted Ye Daying and Yang Yazhou and sat down. After a few people exchanged greetings, less than five minutes later, Chen Kaige also walked in with a gloomy look. Mao Duoduo was taken down directly. Although Chen Kaige killed Ma Su with tears and distanced himself from Mao Duoduo, but now , he also held a grudge against Ye Ming. Although he knew that Ye Ming was not responsible for this matter, if it weren't for Ye Ming, would Mao Duoduo be able to offend Zhang Yimou? How could Zhang Yimou, a national master, have suffered such an end without offending him? Therefore, the way Chen Kaige looked at Ye Ming at this time was a bit unkind. The situation in the country has always been like this. Master Han Shanping arrived slowly and late. He squinted his eyes and looked at everyone present, as if he had a warning. At this time, except Chen Kaige, Feng Xiaogang, Ye Ming and others were all shocked. Could it be that there was major news to be announced? At this time, Han Shanping slowly sat down and said: "Everyone, I have brought you here today to tell you something. You all have works released this year, but my film market is so big, why? What to do, of course, "Red Lover" is the main movie this year, and there is absolutely no problem with the schedule. It is a prime time slot, a summer time slot, so don't even think about rushing to get this slot. There is no use in fighting. What I want to talk about next is the schedule after August. Director Chen's "Jing Ke Assassins Qin" will be released in August, so it will account for half of the theater quota, and Ye Ming's "Crazy Stone" will also be released in August. When it is released, it will occupy 30% of the theater quota. " At this time, several second-tier directors and producers were a little reluctant. Chen Kaige occupied half of the screening room. Others had nothing to say. After all, he is an international director and a big shot, and his arms can't twist his thighs. But who is Ye Ming? Is he a newbie in the directing world and can he direct movies? At that moment, someone stood up and said: "I have a question, why [Crazy Stone] can occupy 30% of the screening hall, and our remaining five films only share the remaining 20%. Isn't this too little?" Although [Crazy Stone] is a film supported by the Radio, Film and Television Administration, my film is too." The thorny head, Han Sanping did not expect that he would host this mediation meeting and actually say that there was also a thorny head there. However, when he saw the director secretly glance at Chen Kaige, Han Shanping immediately understood that it was Chen Kaige who was there. Support your back, otherwise, the director would not have the guts to raise this issue. At that moment, Han Shanping said: "Why, just because Ye Ming can think about the overall situation at critical times, he has sold more than three million records, but he still goes to the front line of fighting floods to perform condolences. If you have this sales volume of records, And if you can go to the flood-fighting front line to show condolences with me, I will also give you 30% of the theater, do you have any opinions?" Have an opinion? Of course not. Didn’t you see that Third Master’s face turned livid now? Who will be the leader at this critical moment? Even Chen Kaige, who initiated this matter, narrowed his eyes slightly, as if he was resting his mind, as if the matter was none of his business. Although the film distribution rights were broken by the emergence of the "Notice on Further Deepening the Reform of the Mechanism of the Film Industry" in 1994, which the industry called Document No. 348, China Film Corporation's monopoly was broken. However, by 1998, domestic films were actually still The key that has been under exploration is the theater chain, which has not been released. When you make a movie, you always have to show it, and if you want to show it, you need theater support. But in China at that time, what to play in theaters and how to play it largely depended on the leadership's wishes. Even if it is an Oscar-winning movie, if the leaders don’t nod, which cinema would dare to show it? (To be continued)
