After the people dispersed, the crescent moon sky was like water. Walking on the road in Hollywood, I looked up at the stars. The moon in foreign countries seemed not as round as the one in China. It seemed more lonely. Even if there were difficult things at home, I would not feel lonely.

Ye Ming thought for a while, it was time to go home. It would take about a day or two to negotiate the cooperation with Cameron. After all, there were some details to discuss, but the rest should be gone home. The rest It's not a big deal anymore.

The film festival at the Golden Globe Awards is actually just for mutual exchanges. The rest is nothing important. It is not the Golden Globe Awards itself, so there is nothing worthy of attention.

Therefore, Ye Ming was thinking that it might be a good choice to go home at this time. At this time, Ye Ming began to think of people and things in China.

Chen Xi from Hong Kong City, Huihuang Film and Television from Beijing, and the group of people under his command, these people are probably able to stand on their own now. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming could feel free to go out and do what he wanted to do.

Is it just that Hollywood really admits itself now? This may be impossible. Ye Ming clearly feels the distance between Hollywood and him.

In terms of capital, Ye Ming can crush many Hollywood stars, but in terms of acting skills, Ye Ming has not been recognized by more people.

Although Ye Ming also acted in movies such as Minority Report and The Day After Tomorrow, these were all supporting roles. Especially in the movie The Day After Tomorrow, Ye Ming just played a homeless man who didn’t even have a name. .

Therefore, to say that Hollywood has truly recognized his acting skills, Ye Ming does not believe it at all. After all, on a question like this, if you want to talk about acting skills or not, this needs to be recognized from the movie. .

Ye Ming must mean to star in a top Hollywood production, not necessarily to be a male pig, but at least to be a supporting role. The supporting actor Oscar only gave Ye Ming the right to enter Hollywood.

In such a situation, if you want to be truly recognized by Hollywood, you must have a Hollywood work. In Hollywood, everything is based on the box office. If you have the box office, you will be recognized. If you If your box office can crush everything else, then you are the boss. For example, Cameron, Spielberg, etc. are all bosses in their respective fields.

Under normal circumstances, if a foreigner wants to be recognized by Hollywood, he must pass three levels. One is to be grabbed by newcomers. If he cannot survive the wall of newcomers, he will leave directly. The second is to be a stabilizer. Once you pass the newcomer wall, you are only qualified to stay in Hollywood.

As for the stable period, this means that you have to be the leading star in at least three consecutive movies, or the A-level Hollywood movies you are starring in have your role in them, and the box office of these three movies cannot be too bad, at least they must be profitable. , after passing these two levels, if your acting skills are outstanding and you can play a leading role, you can lead a movie. This is the third step.

Box office, billions in box office, is the symbol of Hollywood's god status. If you want to enter the status of a god like the 20 million salary club, you must first have a box office of hundreds of millions as a starting point. Remember, this is just a starting point. If It means that if you want something else, you must continue to work hard.

For ordinary people, it will take them ten years to hone themselves to complete the first two levels. But if you pass the first two levels, it can at most be said that you are an actor suitable for working in Hollywood, but you may not necessarily be. To be successful in Hollywood means that you are qualified to star in A-level movies.

It will take at least five or six years, but if it is a situation like this, if you want to become famous and want everyone to remember you, let the box office speak for itself. You must pass the third level. In the third level, ordinary people are not qualified for this.

Ye Ming is relatively lucky. He can pass the first two hurdles. One is because there is a company that can help, and the other is that he is a billionaire himself. This is still rare in Hollywood. If he has money, he can show it wherever he goes. The kind that has momentum.

But this only means that Ye Ming can escape the first two hurdles and have the opportunity to star in a Hollywood A-level production in less time.

Hollywood is still a bit incompatible with him. The key is that he has no outstanding works. Whether it is "No One Less" or "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", speaking of which, they are all Chinese works. The honors received by these works are not important enough. Ye Ming To really get recognition from Hollywood, there must be enough Hollywood works.

Therefore, thinking of this, Ye Ming felt that he needed to go back and calm down, waiting for an opportunity to soar into the sky. Are there any top-notch movies in Hollywood in the near future? There seemed to be no classic works, so when Ye Ming thought of this, he also wanted to go back. In such a situation, in fact, no matter how it is said, this matter has a certain degree of chance.

Going back and waiting may be the best result. Moreover, the Chinese New Year is coming, and Ye Ming doesn’t want to stay here. After all, the Chinese New Year means that you have to be in China to have the New Year atmosphere. If it’s abroad, even in Chinatown, it’s not that eye-catching. atmosphere. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming had plans to go back.

But the thing is not that he wants to go back, he can go back immediately. Book

I thought that there wasn't much going on in Hollywood. I signed a contract with Cameron, and I also participated in the Golden Globe Film Festival. But under such a situation, at this time, it seemed that nothing could make Luo Tian stay. Came down.

However, something happened again at Warner Bros., and it was quite serious. At this time, Ai Qiuhua and two other people from Columbus came to find Ye Ming in person.

When Ye Ming saw the appearance of the two people, his heart suddenly sank. It seemed that it was not a good thing to let these two people come to him. At this time, Ye Ming had an unknown premonition. It seemed that it would be impossible to go back this time.

If someone from Warner Bros. comes, and these two come, there must be a possibility, that is, it is related to Harry Potter. The only way to get these two to come is this.

He, Ai Qiuhua and Columbus are all acquaintances. After all, they are easy to talk to among acquaintances.

Ye Ming glanced at the two of them and said, "You two came at the right time. If you came an hour late, then I think I have already entered the airport and will probably take a flight soon."

Columbus said helplessly: "Ye, something happened, something that no one wants to see. Don't say you are at the airport, even if you say you are on the plane, you will probably ask for it after hearing the news. Back.

This matter is a very troublesome matter for our crew, Warner Brothers, and even you. "Columbus is now starting to complain.

Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "Columbus, don't do this with me. Now that I think about it, what have I been doing since I came? At the beginning, everyone cooperated quite happily. Harry Potter and Magic I also participated in Shi's selection of roles, and I also provided some suggestions and help.

I think this is a good thing, but how did you do it later? You didn't take me as the same thing at all. It was like a premiere. I, the copyright holder, was not a guest. Why didn't you invite me?

Ordinarily, at this time, even if I don't sign the second part to you, it doesn't matter. According to the contract, after all, it means that you are not kind, but at this time, I also think, if it is done in this way, then In this matter, I am not being kind. After all, so many viewers like to watch Harry Potter. If the actors are returned and the director is replaced, this is not a good thing. Tell me, if I really want to change, can I make it happen? "

These words left Columbus with no room for an answer. Yes, what Warner Brothers did in this matter was indeed a bit unkind. After all, it meant that in such a matter, Warner did not regard Ye Ming as the same thing at all. , thinking that making money is enough.

Columbus didn't say anything. Ye Ming thought about it and said: "Let's not talk about this matter for now. After all, I am just a copyright owner. I don't have any objection to whether you can please me or not, but you are still encouraging me. Rowling wants to talk to me." Showdown, saying that we want to take back the copyright of Harry Potter. If my lawyer is not quite capable, then I guess you can succeed in such a matter. Isn’t this the truth? "

The last time Rowling made a fuss, it would be strange if there was no shadow of Warner Bros. behind it. In fact, this was directly planned by Warner Bros. It just means that Ye Ming was also superior in the end, so we really can't file a lawsuit. That’s it.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Warner has ceased operations. After all, Ye Ming is the real copyright owner of Harry Potter, so when it comes to such an issue, he has the upper hand.

Columbus glanced at Ai Qiuhua, which meant asking for help. Ye Ming's words are not something that can be answered simply. Columbus is just a director, so in such a matter, some things cannot be said. He can do it himself. At this point, Ai Qiuhua's role can be seen at this time.

Ai Qiuhua took the words and said: "Mr. Ye, in fact, the reason why we came to you this time is related to copyright. Such a matter has caused some changes, some changes that are beyond our control. Rowling regretted it again .”

Ye Ming was stunned when he heard this. This matter was very interesting. Luo Lin regretted it again.

At this time, Ye Ming said curiously: "Why did Luo Lin go back on her word again? I remember what happened last time. Didn't everyone say that an agreement had been reached? The author should not have lost a penny. At this time, they What do you think, are you saying that if you want more, they are not afraid of a lawsuit?"

Yes, didn’t I say that we had already negotiated it last time and that we had no regrets about it?

Ai Qiuhua immediately said: "That's the problem. She really regretted it. I originally thought she wouldn't. She had already handed in the manuscript of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, so we thought it was nothing serious. question, but the key point is that it doesn’t matter what we say at this time, this matter is still Rowling’s own idea. If he has any ideas, then there is no way we can do anything about such a matter. Might be useful.

The key is, we told her personally that she had the right to go back on her word, and her right to go back on her word was her manuscript. Originally, she planned to publish it as soon as possible, but our lawyer told her that if she wanted to seize the initiative, Against you, just don’t publish so many books first, so now there are two Harry Potter books published. For the rest of the manuscript, I don’t know whether she didn’t write it or whether she did write it but had no intention of publishing it. "

This point makes Ai Xiuhua very depressed. After all, it is said that in such a matter, the matter was caused by Warner Brothers. But on such a problem, Rowling used the method Warner Brothers told her. Calculating Time Warner, such a thing is a tragedy, a tragedy for Chi Guoguo.

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, but he didn't expect Rowling to do this. He also had some hatred for the guys at Warner Bros.: "Are all your leaders idiots? Are they all brainwashed? ?

Such things can also be done. Regarding an issue like this, no matter how you say it, you and I are on the same front. This is also the reason why I still authorize you to film the second part, but how did you do it? Ah, you people actually said you were here to do this, and now that you can't handle the matter, you actually said you came directly to the door. What do you want me to do about this matter? "

Ai Qiuhua immediately said: "We are here to find you and want to discuss with you what to do next. After all, what Luo Lin is doing is harming our interests, isn't it? "

This is true. From this point of view, Rowling did not act kindly. In this matter of making money, she was not given a penny less. She was absolutely given what was supposed to be given according to the contract.

But on such a matter, Rowling still did this, and it seemed that she had a direct intention to take back Harry Potter.

For this reason, they actually said that the publication of Harry Potter would be delayed. This move, it must be said, also hit Warner Bros.'s weakness.

It's just that at this time, Luo Lin always plays like this. In Ye Ming's opinion, it is a bit unkind. Everyone has signed a contract, so it is indeed very unkind to regret it like this. (To be continued)
