Brother Xiao Hei is a very loyal person, and the entire entertainment industry knows this this year. Therefore, if Ye Ming calls him to say hello, he will naturally go all out. There is no reason not to agree.
And at this time, Ye Ming not only found Brother Xiaohei, but also called David, the captain of the French Dream Team, which is also one of the top teams in the world.
The Fast and the Furious focuses on the stunt shots of cars. This must be done by a top team. For example, because of infighting, Universal signed some not-so-well-known stunt teams. This is destroying its own brand. .
Ye Ming wouldn't do this kind of thing. After David raised some prices, he also agreed to this matter. Westerners generally pay attention to real materials when doing things, and benefits will be given.
Anyway, in layman's terms, it means that after you increase the price for me, I will definitely complete the task with quality and quantity. This is inevitable.
This is also an unspoken rule in Hollywood, because Dream Team was also the reason why the first Fast and Furious movie was a hit at the box office. At this time, it is reasonable for them to ask for some increase in salary.
After all, the first part of The Fast and the Furious was also a very good movie and a blockbuster that was a big hit. It was the result of almost one person attaining enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascending to heaven.
So until now, David from Dream Team asked his team to increase his salary. Ye Ming basically didn't think about it and just nodded and agreed, because this is a more practical request and not a big talk. .
Moreover, David also admired Ye Ming's driving skills very much, and he had a feeling that heroes cherish heroes.
In terms of lighting, costumes, stunts, etc., the stunts are actually a bit worse.
The lighting and costume calculations are pretty good. In this regard, Universal has provided the lighting, costumes, makeup, and other professional staff that have the value of a large company, and they have all been matched.
But it was like this, the crew also had a lot of connections, and in the end they were kicked out directly by Ye Ming. If you don't leave, you won't be paid anyway. You can stay as long as you like.
In terms of other matters, there is not too much interference in the formation of the crew. After all, the current director of this crew is Cohen.
However, just such a move and drastic reforms in the crew also made some people in the crew feel panic, fearing that they would accidentally offend Ye Ming and be fired.
However, after Ye Ming vigorously rectified the situation, he did not take any further action. Instead, they announced that they would not start filming tonight and would wait until everyone arrived tomorrow.
Taking advantage of this space, Ye Ming announced that he would go up and take a rest first, because after the crew arrived, intense shooting would begin, and this shooting would be very intense.
Ye Ming just said that he would give everyone a vaccination and prepare everyone. After arranging these things, Ye Ming went directly to find director Cohen.
When faced with Ye Ming cleaning up the crew's mess, Cohen did not express his opinion because he knew very well that although he was the director of the crew, it was Ye Ming who had the real control power.
But Ye Ming actually didn't look so domineering when facing Cohen, which really made Cohen feel quite satisfied.
Ye Ming didn't like to interfere with the crew during the first film, as long as no one delayed the filming.
This is still the case.
Therefore, when he saw Ye Ming at this time, his face relaxed a little, and there was no special nervousness, envy, jealousy or hatred.
Generally speaking, it is very pleasant to work with Director Cohen and Ye Ming.
Therefore, he is not worried about the impact Ye Ming's strength will have on him. On this basis, he is inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people. Apart from Ye Ming, Cohen certainly believes that his power will extend to other members of the crew. In every human being.
And in this crew, some things, such as taking kickbacks, are impossible to happen. Of course, every crew will have public relations expenses, and this crew also has them.
But he said that if any of the crew members dared to embezzle or take kickbacks, Ye Ming would never be polite. In fact, some staff members felt that they were doing it more secretly by taking kickbacks.
However, there has never been a time when Ye Ming was able to hide it. It seems that Ye Ming has a huge team supporting him, giving him all kinds of news, and even gossips about the entertainment industry. Ye Ming can sometimes analyze them. Some tricks on the crew came out, which makes people feel terrible.
No one on Ye Ming's crew can embezzle public funds, that's for sure.
In fact, in Hollywood, there are some benefits to eating.
Don't think that Hollywood is that kind of sacred place. There is no corruption among the crew. This is impossible. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, that's all.
Therefore, this time Cohen made Ye Ming feel the sincerity from Fast and Furious.
At this time, he may have said with some seriousness: "Mr. Ye, you are killing a chicken to scare the monkey this time. You should not be killing the monkey to show respect to the monkey."
You have driven away more than 1/3 of the crew. I'm afraid Universal will have objections to this matter, so you have to be prepared. "
Universal is not a small film and television company that was thought up by a few actors and a few investors on the spur of the moment, a company run by a grassroots team, but the real seven major Hollywood film companies.
Although the crew was in this situation due to infighting within Universal, would Universal be unhappy knowing that Ye Ming had directly affected many people on the crew? This is something that Ye Ming needs to seriously consider. .
Because such a matter was related to Universal's face after all, at this time, the first thing Ye Ming did, who came from afar, was to quietly drive away more than 1/3 of the crew. It's a bit surprising.
At this time, Ye Ming said very rudely: "Universal still wants to have an opinion. Are they embarrassed to have an opinion? At this time, it is considered good that I have not caused any trouble to them.
I was asked to come over to shoot this movie, but at this time, it was actually made for me. Such a mess of people came over. How do you think I should shoot it?
No wonder there were problems in part 2. I think it would be hard to say how they would have managed step 2 without me. Don't worry, go over there. If you have any objections, I will persuade them.
I came here to ask you to do one thing, which is to say, my role here should be filmed as quickly as possible. It is best to complete the filming within one or two weeks. "
Because Ye Ming felt that he might have come here to film some things without thinking clearly about them. There was still a lot of things waiting for him to be busy in China.
The crew of my company also needs to go by myself.
Because now Ye Ming has a bad feeling, he has to rush back to take a look.
Therefore, under such a situation, he actually came back to take over. Taking a photo of the crew of Fast and Furious Part 3, Ye Ming felt that time was a little tight.
Therefore, he felt that it would be quite good if he could shoot quickly when making a movie. If he could finish the movie as quickly as possible.
Therefore, at this time, he proposed to the director that first of all, he should shoot as many of his scenes as possible to avoid being in a hurry.
Cohen was very surprised when he was reminded of this. Filmmaking is a time of slow work and meticulous work. If you want to speed up the progress, this is not consistent with the rules.
Therefore, in such a situation, the director may mention this matter without even thinking about it, but it is a bit troublesome because we have never done this for two or three weeks, so it is impossible to finish filming your scene.
At least I haven't done that before. On this point, the guest party member is quite insistent. He must be responsible for his own crew.
Because the quality of the film is closely related to the director's ability. At this time, if Ye Ming is allowed to complete his shots in a week or two, what will happen if the film is a bunch of garbage?
What we know is that Ye Ming is arbitrary and arbitrary. Those who don’t know what he is doing think that he is incompetent as a director.
Therefore, at this time, Director Hate was a little reluctant to agree, because he himself believed that this matter was impossible.
However, Ye Ming also gave an example at this moment and said: "As for this matter, in fact, there is no big problem if we shoot it quickly. Don't think that it will be impossible to complete it in a week or two. It cannot be completed in the movie." task.
But, you don’t know that some of our domestic film companies, for example, there is a director in Xinjiang, can shoot a movie in a week, which is about an hour and a half, and he can shoot it in a week. Out.
You have to learn from other people’s filmmaking speeds and don’t make the film so mysterious. This point, as stated clearly, is indeed a fact.
In Xiangjiang, one of the directors I work with is called Wang Jing, that big fat guy.
This man looks tall and thick, as if he is short and poor.
However, director Wang Jing is actually very wealthy. After all, he is a commercial film director. Although he has made bad films, Wang Jing has shot many films, which are still very good.
It’s just that Wang Jing basically makes all kinds of movies. As long as you pay him, there is basically no movie that he doesn’t make. This will give the director a bad reputation.
However, you don't deny that director Wang Jing is a very capable director. On this point, his peers are quite convinced.
Of course, the colleagues mentioned here are domestic colleagues. Basically, foreign colleagues have never heard of Director Wang Jing’s name.
Maybe the director is someone who has never heard of this name. Therefore, Director Cohen was very surprised and said: "If you want to shoot a movie in a week, this matter will not look good no matter how you look at it." possible.
Okay, if what you said is true, then what kind of movie is a movie shot in a week?
It's more than one and a half hours and 90 minutes. At this time, the filming has been completed in a week. Are you shooting a movie or just a simple video?
Taking a step back, if what you say is true, what will the movie look like if it is shot in a week? It must be a big bad movie. "
Director Cohen still has his own persistence. He believes that movies are a sacred job. If you want to make a good movie, you basically need to work slowly and carefully, and you need to think about it slowly.
Now Ye Ming told him to shoot one movie a week, which is a standard movie of one and a half hours. This was a huge blow to him.
He didn't think anyone could really do this. If anyone could, it would have been shot this year. What was shot at such a speed was just some material, some bad movies, and he didn't think it was shot at such a time. What a good movie it would be.
But Ye Ming said with great certainty: "It's not necessarily a bad movie. The movie he tinkered with at this time took about a week to make, and the box office was still very good.
Although it is not a high-grossing movie, it cannot be said to be a bad movie. The box office performance is beyond your imagination. Of course, this director has a very famous name in the entertainment industry called Kuaishou.
If he wants to shoot a movie, the shooting time may be very short, and the result may not be a bad movie. The movie I'm talking about is The Legend of Heaven and the Dragon.
This is a very good movie. It is very normal for Wang Jing to make movies quickly.
It can even be said that from shooting to production to release, basically being able to complete it in seven days is his masterpiece, and the movie he shot is not as bad as you think, but the box office of the movie at the time champion. "
Such an incident would shock Director Cohen very much. The movie was shot in 7 days, and with so many things to do in the post-production period, it actually became the box office champion of the movie when it was released.
This is simply unbelievable to the customer, because he can't think of any kind of shooting that can achieve this, and with post-production, this is an even more difficult task to complete. Is this a magical thing? Oriental magic?
However, Ye Ming doesn't seem to have to fool himself about this matter. It doesn't make any sense, so this matter may just happen, and it should be true.
Director Cohen was a little shocked and said: "There is such a fast director in China, he is a genius."
At this time, Ye Ming explained: "We can't say that he is a simple genius, but it is okay to say that he is a geek.
But from a box office perspective alone, this director has achieved certain results. He is a commercial film director who is willing to make any kind of film.
Really speaking, in order to make money, he shoots small movies, that is to say, what you in the West call R-rated movies, these are all within the scope of his shooting. Anyway, at least commercially speaking, he is a successful director.
When we were filming, we just tried our best to go over it once. You, the director, should be able to do this. I tried my best to do my best, and you just tried your best to go through it once. "
Once again, this is quite a difficult thing.
