Morgan thought for a while, but seemed to be in a bit of a dilemma, and then he said regretfully: "Of course, if you want to ask about this matter, then you should be capable enough, but, I personally have an opinion for you, that is, the current crew is relatively stable, and as far as the company is concerned, it is relatively stable. It is a result of the game between the two parties.
In fact, the current situation of the crew is like this. The only result is a balance. Even if I come here, it is also the result of the game between the two parties. It is also because I want to cooperate with you, and then in order to save this series of movies. .
Therefore, I feel that my cooperation with you is quite good, so I was transferred here. In fact, before, I was also working on other projects in the company, and I was just transferred here.
In fact, this crew has a complicated relationship with the company. Of course, everyone hopes to make this movie well and save this series of movies. But sometimes, there is a game between the two sides within the company. Sometimes Some differences will occur.
It is even said that this crew may be the result of a three-party game. Think about it, what kind of state will this put you in?
The director has changed, and one lead actor has left. Oh no, if you were included, two lead actors have left. This is actually a very negative impact for a reporter.
However, the company has successfully assembled the crew so far. On the one hand, it can be seen that the company attaches great importance to Fast and Furious Part 3, and on the other hand, everyone has worked hard on this basis. Who can laugh?
It may also depend on the performance of this movie, so if you want to change the status quo, it will not be easy. Speaking of which, Yiming and Morgan have a good relationship.
Therefore, at this time, we have just put forward some of our opinions. After all, we have had a cooperative relationship with the first department and the new cooperation is quite good. Both parties get along well. I followed the leader of the logistics department. , which can be regarded as relatively appropriate. "
This is some insider information about Universal, and it's basically the kind that would never appear in gossip magazines.
Morgan is quite interesting this time. It should be said that Morgan knows some internal situations within Universal Company, but he is unwilling to speak out about this matter in detail. After all, it is a family scandal that cannot be made public.
In other words, there are some things that he dare not say out loud, because many of them will involve the top management of Universal. Therefore, as a member of Universal at this time, Morgan has some scruples. If he can say it out, this crew may be The inside story of the outcome of the three-party game is pretty good.
But Morgan still underestimated Ye Ming. Ye Ming had his own insistence on this matter. At this time, he could say without hesitation: "This is the result of your company's game. I don't care, but he is like this." In one case, I have my own persistence, and there is still no way to change this.
Now that I have control of this crew, the crew must listen to me and do what I say. This is actually stated in the contract, and it is also a condition for your company to ask me to come out.
But how dare you treat me like this at this time, give me such a technology, and let me film Fast and Furious Part 3. Can I film it?
Remember, you have to go through my selection and re-selection. Can you tell me to call and say, remember, it’s ready and just let me come over to shoot. Is this fooling me?
I need a qualified crew, not the crew you created after a game. In China, this kind of relationship is considered to be a relationship. People who come in through the back door are simply a little less than the Caotai crew. They still want to make blockbusters. Is it possible?
I want a qualified crew, not a crew, you know?
Moreover, everyone had a relatively pleasant cooperation in the first part, so at this time, I think there should be no big problem if we work together again for the third part.
Including the director, actors, and even other people on the crew and special effects, these are not the kind I am particularly familiar with. Do you think I can make any good movies if you give me such a foundation that needs to be adapted?
I’m leaving the ones I’m familiar with and have worked with before, so you don’t have to find a crew like this for me. Does that mean you’re sincere? It's definitely insincere.
Forget it, I won’t talk to you about this anymore. I want to find out what’s going on with the director, and we’ll talk about it later.
By the way, please inform the crew now to suspend it for three days. Give me three days to understand the situation and deal with these things. After three days, let the crew come back again, OK. "
Sometimes Ye Ming is also the kind of person who is arbitrary and arbitrary. Once he decides on something, he will never look back easily.
Just like this, he decided that it was impossible for the current crew to let him film Fast and Furious Part 3.
It is even said that it will completely destroy this brand. Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming had to take action personally to find out what was going on.
First of all, we need to contact Director Cohen. As one of the parties involved in this matter, he should be quite knowledgeable about this matter.
And it can be said that the customer was directly kicked out by Universal. Therefore, he should be relatively angry. If a person is angry, he will tell some secrets.
Just like Morgan, he is relatively calm. However, Morgan knows some information and he will not tell it deliberately. However, Director Cohen is different. He will definitely tell some secrets. On this point Ye Ming is very sure.
Morgan was actually very sure that since the page had made this decision at this time, it would not change it unless there was some formal order from Universal to go against Ye Ming.
However, according to the current situation, if Universal wants to be in such a state as Ye Ming, then things will not be done like this. No one is willing to do business that suffers losses, and even Universal will know this.
At this time, Ye Ming directly dialed the phone number of director Cohen, and said very quickly and in a straight-to-the-point tone: "Hello, Director Cohen, my name is Ye Ming, and now, I am already filming the third installment of The Fast and the Furious. But I discovered that the director of this movie has been replaced. Why didn’t you continue to direct it? It seems that you weren’t the one to direct the third part, or even the second one, right?”
Rob Cohen is actually a director who has very strong control over the crew. Otherwise, the first part would not have been shot so smoothly, nor would it have been so exciting.
It can be said that if a movie wants to be shot well, one must have an eye, and the other must have a good script. The last point, which is very crucial, is that the director has very strong control over the entire crew. .
Basically, if these lightning conditions are met, and with enough financial resources, a good movie should be able to be produced.
However, he only said that this is the premise of a good movie. In other words, if these elements are met, it may become a good movie. However, if these elements are not met, it cannot be a good movie. .
Ye Ming was able to call Cohen at this time, which surprised Cohen very much.
But those two people have a good relationship after all. At this time, the other person is actually holding it in for a long time. There are some things that he doesn't want to say to the outside world, but it's uncomfortable to hold them in his heart.
Then why don't I find someone to talk to at this time? It might be a good choice.
Therefore, at this time, Cohen thought whatever he wanted and said: "Dear Ye, I didn't expect you to call me. This makes me feel so surprised. As for the movie Fast and Furious you mentioned?
Of course, there is a little bit of inside information in it, and you also know that Fast and Furious Part 1 was a huge hit.
Therefore, at this time, actors are thinking about increasing their salaries. This is a certain work. After it becomes popular, the actors starring in these works will definitely want to increase their salaries. This is understandable.
There is also such a rule in the entertainment industry, and the director and other crew members actually have the right to ask for an increase in their remuneration.
For example, when it comes to my salary, I want Universal to increase it a little bit. Moreover, the increase is not big, maybe around 10 to 20. A range like 20 shouldn’t be too big.
Compared to the movie’s box office, my 20% commission is not too much.
But even if it was such a request, Universal said they would consider it, but they thought about it and finally changed the person in the second part.
Of course, the specifics are not that simple. There are also some game processes. This is probably what 78 is like. Anyway, it is because the rewards are not very suitable.
And on the Universal side, they also have their own considerations, or in other words, if they are training new directors, they will be training other directors. Anyway, the director of the second film will be replaced.
And let me tell you, Vin Dieselna also wanted to increase her salary during the second film, but in the end, she did nothing there.
I heard that the hotel’s requirements for an increase are quite high. I wouldn’t even ask for an increase like this. So what do you think Vin Diesel’s requirements are?
What will Universal do? Of course it’s impossible. As a result, Vin Diesel and I didn’t participate in the second part.
I heard that Vin Diesel’s side is more complicated. You can ask him for details.
This is even more true for Part 3. There’s no way they’re going to call us back.
In other words, isn't it said that your crew has been formed now? The filming is about to start. Under such circumstances, do you think they might bring me and Vin Diesel back for the third part? That is impossible. "
Ye Ming immediately said at this time: "Don't worry about this matter. Since I called you, I must have come to solve this matter. Now, this crew is under my control.
Universal asked me to come out, just to complete the third part. However, they gave me a building, which I was not very satisfied with. Moreover, you and Vin Diesel are no longer here, and the stunt team was also given I changed it.
What are the contracts signed? Why do you want to sign a contract with a world-class player when you want to sign a contract with someone whose name I have never heard of? You are fooling me. You don’t have to save so much money.
Therefore, at this time, I think we still have room for relaxation on this matter. They authorized the crew to me, and I will be responsible for the film.
Therefore, I think it is better for you to come back. Now I am officially extending an invitation to you until the 3rd Fast and Furious movie. If you are willing, ask your agent to come and talk to me.
And that guy Vin Diesel is so busy, right? I will call him and tell him that if he doesn't come back in time, it depends on how I deal with him.
The Fast and Furious movie was created by us together. I think you don’t want such a series of movies to just reach the third step, and then the game will be over, right?
This request can make the guest feel very surprised. He still has feelings for Fast and Furious. He just said that he did not expect Ye Ming to extend an invitation to him.
Therefore, after hearing Ye Ming's invitation at this time, he might have been stunned for a full 10 seconds, and then said: "Really? Don't worry, I will report on time, I will Go book a plane ticket and fly to Japan immediately. I also hope that I can create greater glory with you and make the speed and passion exciting again."
Director Cohen is very happy to be able to participate in the filming of Fast and Furious again. He has actually given up on directing Fast and Furious, but he did not expect that there will be no way out, and there will be a bright future in another village. one day.
Although Cohen knew that this would need to be discussed with Universal and might not succeed, but since Ye Ming was invited, it would be better than not being invited, right?
Moreover, Ye Ming actually has his own advantages. He was invited back by Universal, and the person invited back was God. Ye Ming said that he would always be able to save some face. He even said that if Ye Ming persisted, he might overturn the table. .
Therefore, Cohen booked the plane tickets directly. Anyway, it would be better to go there first and see what it was like.
Even if you can't become the director of the third Fast and Furious movie in the end, it would be better to travel, and it will definitely be a publicly funded trip.
Ye Ming's invitation would definitely be reimbursed by the crew.
This is a character of Ye Ming, and all old friends know it.
