"People on the Road" did not mean a secret launch, but a very large and huge press conference, a huge press conference that invited more than fifty years of news media to participate. Ye Ming once again made a trinity of works after winning the Golden Horse Award. This is quite newsworthy. Therefore, this time, reporters from more than 70 media came, even from Hong Kong City and Baodao. Reporters also followed. Many come uninvited. What is influence? This is called influence. Every move can attract more media attention, which is admirable. Yu Guo, the chief reporter of [Entertainment Morning News], was the first to stand up at the press conference and said: "May I ask Mr. Ye, this is your second trinity work, do you think this movie has surpassed the box office of [Crazy Stone]" Do you have confidence?" Ye Ming looked around at the reporters at the scene and found that everyone was waiting to see, hoping to get an accurate answer from Ye Ming. At that moment, Ye Ming coughed and said: "It's hard to say whether it will be surpassed or not. For a director, every movie is like his child. As a father, do you prefer the eldest son or the second son? The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. I can do it It means trying your best to do your best. As for transcending or not, it depends on whether the audience likes it or not." This answer and the Tai Chi answer obviously made the reporters at the scene depressed for a while. This is no different from no answer. [Southern Weekend] reporter Lao Bai is also an acquaintance, but he is an enemy. Usually when he stands up to ask questions, he always says that he will go against Ye Ming, which definitely means that he will not make Ye Ming feel comfortable. of. It was indeed the same this time. Lao Bai stood up and said: "Director Ye, this Lunar New Year film can be said to be full of wars. I heard that there will be at least six Lunar New Year films participating in the competition, and the most powerful among them should be director Feng Xiaogang. It’s [endless], I don’t know how the director views his work among these six movies, and whether he can be in the first position.” What Lao Bai said was a bit of a provocation. If Ye Ming said he was the first to answer, he was deliberately suppressing Feng Xiaogang. If you don't say that you are number one, then in such an event, but also in your own press conference, it will be a big blow to yourself. What Chinese people pay attention to is getting off to a good start, and they definitely don't say that they are not the first. Lao Bai looked at Ye Ming triumphantly at this time. He knew that such a question was difficult to answer. Even if Ye Ming was very cunning, he would never say that he could answer such a question casually. Ye Ming seemed to say that he did not regard such a thing as a problem at all, but said with a smile: "Who did you hear this news from? The last time I had a meeting at the General Administration, the Lunar New Year movies were not six Home, but eight films, eight Lunar New Year movies. However, among them, the best one is not my "Unfortunately", nor "Endless" directed by Feng Xiaogang." When Lao Bai heard such an answer, he was a little surprised. When did Ye Ming become so humble about this matter: "Director Ye, you are too polite. You are also the one who set the domestic film box office record. Director Feng Xiaogang made another New Year's film." First person, at this time, who else can make better movies than you? I think there are not many directors like this in China, right?"
Although the relationship between Lao Bai and Ye Ming is not very good, he has to admit such a thing when it comes to such an issue, that is to say, at this time, Feng Xiaogang and Ye Ming In terms of movies, he is ahead of most directors. Ye Ming said very modestly: "There are so many film talents in China, and there are many better directors than the two of us. The film I am talking about that is better than the two of us is [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin] directed by Chen Kaige. Director Chen After re-editing, it has been decided that the film will compete in the Lunar New Year season again." Movies that have been screened are said to be able to be screened again. This seems to have never happened before. If Chen Kaige, a major international director, can firmly surpass Ye Ming and Feng Xiaogang in his qualifications, there is absolutely no problem. However, if "Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin" can be re-released, it seems, it seems , this is somewhat unlikely. The reporter from [Star Entertainment] was a young beauty, as young as a newly graduated college student. She seemed to be not very familiar with this industry. After receiving permission, she stood up curiously and said: "Director, what did you say just now?" Shengnuo [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin] will be released again during the Lunar New Year. How is this possible? I have watched [Jing Ke Assassins the King of Qin]. It was a waste of my thirty-five dollars. A super blockbuster turned into a bad movie. , the box office in the Mainland was only over 2 million, which is simply unimaginable. This is a film that was rated as one of the top ten worst films in the United States in 1998. Even if it had not had this title, it would have been How can a movie that has been released be re-released?" Ye Ming said with a smile: "Well, nothing is impossible. Directors who have won international awards, how can they casually deny their works? Since Director Chen Kaige said that he has won international awards, everyone is in the circle. The people inside should be very clear about some things, and the General Administration has already approved it. Moreover, this is a re-edit by director Chen Kaige, not an old version of the movie, so I think there must be something new for everyone. .” Although Ye Ming said that he and Chen Kaige had not dealt with each other very well, under such a situation, he would never say that he directly criticized Chen Kaige in public. The reporters quickly recorded Ye Ming's words, preparing to go back and carefully dig out the inside story of a suddenly good thing. This is quite a news item. Then a reporter from [Next Weekly] stood up and said: "Mr. Ye, I heard that you are interested in developing in Hong Kong City. I don't know if it is a rumor." Ye Ming pondered for a moment. He wanted to develop in Hong Kong City, but few people knew about it. However, this was also an inevitable trend. The film environment in Hong Kong City was indeed declining, but at least the overall level was They are one step ahead of those from the Mainland, which is why actors and stars in Hong Kong look down on their Mainland counterparts. If it hadn't been for the actors from the Mainland to make a comeback, the actors in Hong Kong would have become even more arrogant. Going to Hong Kong City is obviously a way to hone his abilities, but Ye Ming knows that there are still some things that he has not done in the mainland. Therefore, he must do a good job in this base camp before he can go out with peace of mind. Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Of course I have considered this. In fact, I have had a very pleasant cooperation with the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City. I studied in Hong Kong City when I debuted, and, with Guo Tianwang , Zheng Yijian and others have also collaborated in movies, so my cooperation with Hong Kong City has actually never been interrupted. As long as there is a suitable opportunity, I think there will be deeper cooperation. Colleagues from Hong Kong City come to the mainland, and colleagues from the mainland This is a trend to go to Hong Kong City. Our brilliant film and television also has its own company in Hong Kong City, which means that I attach great importance to it. If there is any action, I will be the first to inform everyone. of." Ye Ming didn't say he wouldn't go, nor did he say he would go right away, which gave people room for association. At this time, a reporter from a mainland entertainment magazine [Celebrity Frontier] raised a question that readers were very concerned about: "Director Ye, in addition to your starring role, do you plan to target the remaining actors in this movie?" The outside world selects some, or should I say all of them are actors from your company." Ye Ming pondered for a moment before saying: "Most of the actors are actors from our company, but there are also outstanding actors recommended by the Beijing Film Studio. Actress Miss Suman, I think we will have a pleasant cooperation." In fact, Huihuang Film and Television itself can take on all these roles in the movie, but since it is affiliated with the Beijing Film Studio after all, it would be normal for the film studio to recommend one or two people at this time. Yes. This Suman is not an ordinary person. The niece of a deputy director of the film studio is also a very difficult boss. However, Ye Ming knew very well that when he was playing in this circle, sometimes he still had to abide by the rules. Otherwise, they will definitely be isolated. The reporter did not give up, but continued to ask: "So, Miss Suman should be the heroine of this movie?" Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "What kind of role an actor should have is determined by the director through comprehensive consideration. Therefore, what role Miss Suman should play depends on the plot. We need it. However, we still have to ask everyone to go to the cinema to support this movie to find out the specific role." In fact, he has seen Suman's acting skills. It's less than five hundred, which can be regarded as some acting skills, but it is absolutely impossible to play the leading role. But they have connections, so it's not easy for Ye Ming to turn him down. All he needs to do is arrange a suitable small role for her. And Ye Ming could also see that this [Celebrity Frontier] reporter should have been arranged by Suman. In fact, she herself had asked about Suman's role many times, but Ye Ming didn't let go. She probably asked this reporter to inquire about the situation. But how could Ye Ming be fooled so easily. (To be continued)
