Entertainment Empire System

Do you love someone? Then send him to Hollywood, because that is heaven. Do you hate a person? Send him to Hollywood, because that's hell.

The entertainment industry is actually a place like this. It is always more beautiful than you think, but it is also always worse than you think. The entertainment industry is a paradise for the strong and a hell for the weak. This is a place where the strong get stronger and the weak are eliminated.

The strong take all, this is a place of zero-sum game.

The strong make the rules, Tang Guoqiang divorced, and his ex-wife committed suicide. It is hard to say how much responsibility Old Tang held in this, but it is impossible to say that Old Tang was not a good person at all. But because Old Tang himself is a big star in the entertainment industry, his scandal is rarely mentioned.

The entertainment industry is a place where you will retreat if you don't advance. If you don't work hard to ensure that your reputation improves, you will always be in danger of being eliminated.

Even if Ye Ming has reached this status, there are not many opponents for Ye Ming in China, or even in the Asia-Pacific region. Except for a few top seniors in the entertainment industry, the remaining people almost say they have no There are people who can compete with Ye Ming.

In addition to Ye Ming's status as the boss of Huihuang Film and Television and Huihuang.com, just talking about his achievements in the entertainment industry can also explain one thing at this time, that is, on such an issue, Ye Ming is indeed a leader in the Asia-Pacific region. It's done well enough.

Even in Hollywood, Ye Ming is doing quite well. After Cheng Long and Jet Li, Ye Ming has become the representative of the new generation of Asian-Pacific actors in Hollywood.

No one can deny this. It can be seen from the celebrity status of the movies that Ye Ming has starred in that Ye Ming's status in Hollywood is considered to be the best in the Asia-Pacific region.

But even with such a status, Ye Ming didn't feel proud at all.

Within China, those who should be Super Girls should be Super Girls to enhance their own sense of existence. In Hollywood, this is the focus of Ye Ming's development. In a place like this, he invested in filming Fast and Furious. One is that this movie is indeed worthy of investment, and the other is that he wants to truly establish himself. status in Hollywood.

Now Ye Ming can be regarded as a rising star in Hollywood, but it is just a rising star. Winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor only means that Ye Ming has the qualifications to enter Hollywood and gain a foothold in Hollywood.

Take Cheng Long for example. Before Rush Hour, he didn't enter Hollywood all at once, but he didn't have much success. Cannonball Speed ​​is said to be Cheng Long's most failed Hollywood movie, and it's not wrong in any way. It was precisely because of the Rush Hour movie series that Cheng Long truly established a foothold in Hollywood.

If a star does not have a masterpiece, even if he enters Hollywood, he will always fail. Cheng Long's greatness lies in the fact that he has the Rush Hour series, and Cheng Long stars in this series of movies.

As for Ye Ming, it is true that he can take on some top movies in Hollywood now, but only in supporting roles.

That's it, the Asia-Pacific region is doing relatively well, but for example, Spielberg said that he wanted to choose Ye Ming to star in his own movie, but in the end he broke the appointment. This is because Ye Ming has not starred in any masterpieces. , there is no masterpiece starring the protagonist, which means that the actor's appeal is not enough and cannot support a top Hollywood production.

For example, Morgan Freeman is the uncrowned king of Hollywood and a prime supporting actor, but it is difficult for him to support a top Hollywood production. But for example, Tom Hanks, it can be said that Forrest Gump is basically supported by this superstar alone. There are also Will Smith's Men in Black, Tom Cruise's Mission: Impossible, and Governor Arnold's Terminator. These are all examples of top-notch productions supported by a superstar.

Therefore, the key to a person's success in Hollywood is his masterpiece. For example, The Matrix, Keanu Rivski's masterpiece, is the masterpiece of this series of movies. As long as Keanu Rivski is not himself If he commits suicide, he will even say that he can live with this for the rest of his life. It is impossible for him to be everlasting. No superstar can only have one masterpiece.

But if you mean to rest on your laurels for the rest of your life, Keanu Reeveski can still do it. This is quite critical. Masterpieces. If any star wants to gain a foothold in Hollywood, he must have his own masterpieces.

If a star has a masterpiece starring himself, no director will easily deny this superstar. Of course, Nicolas Cage is an exception. This Oscar-winning actor is considered to be in the self-destruction category. He obviously has super talents, but ends up wasting his talents. He is a typical negative material among Hollywood superstars.

In short, the entertainment industry is not an easy place to mess around. If you don't advance, you will retreat. It is very cruel. In the business circle, it is actually similar to this characteristic.

For example, in the automobile industry, this is almost the case. South Korea's Hyundai Motor sent Jung Eui-sun as a representative to handle this matter, and Japan's Toyota was not lagging behind at all in a few days. This time, Yamamoto of the Asahi Shimbun felt the same way as Jiang Zaixun's heart. The difference is that Yamamoto may have to bear greater pressure.

Because after all, South Korea has a Hyundai Motor's Chung Eui-sun, but this time two people came from Japan, one is the heir of the Toyota family, Toyoda Akio, and the other is Honda's second-in-command Takanobu Ito.

Akio Toyoda of the Toyota family, it’s easy to say that the Toyota Group was founded by Shoichiro Toyoda. Akio Toyoda is the grandson of Shoichiro Toyoda. He inherited his father’s business. It is very normal for the Toyota family to regain control of the Toyota Group. of.

In fact, Akio Toyoda has indeed entered the Toyota Group, and he intends to take over as chairman and accounting authority.

In the Honda Group, which was founded by Soichiro Honda, the Honda family members were not so lucky and were directly deprived of control of the family business.

This time, it was Takanobu Ito, the second-in-command of the Honda Group, who came to see Ye Ming. In the future, Takanobu Ito is even said to succeed Takeo Fukui as the boss of the Honda Group. This lineup is quite luxurious.

The two people in front of Yamamoto are both the bosses of the future Japanese automobile overlord. Therefore, one can imagine the pressure Yamamoto was under at this time. Whether it is Akio Toyoda of the Toyota family or Takakun Ito of Honda, their status is quite local, and not an ordinary reporter like Yamamoto can support big names. It can be said that Yamamoto’s current performance is twice that of Jiang Zaixun.

But there was no way, he didn't dare to offend the two big guys in front of him no matter what. In Japan, daring to offend these two people is no different from seeking death. Yamamoto also never thought about why these two people found him.

At this moment, Toyoda Akio was younger after all, and it was Ito Takanobu who was talking about the matter. At this moment, Ito Takanobu said very calmly: "Yamamoto-kun, don't be nervous. We are here to find you this time. Actually, we are here to make you happy." You just need to contact Ye Ming, you don’t need to worry about anything else, just say that you can contact Ye Ming.”

This made Yamamoto breathe a long sigh of relief. His situation was different from that of Jiang Zaixun. Jiang Zaixun was facing Guo Zairong no matter what. He was considered a director in his own circle and was not under so much pressure, so he could ask questions back.

But Yamamoto didn't have the courage, and after hearing Ito Takanobu's words, Yamamoto immediately relaxed. At this time, he understood that he didn't have much of a problem anymore. If it wasn't to embarrass him, it wouldn't be anything.

Japan is a very hierarchical country. In this country, superiors usually deal with their subordinates. For example, those who deal with Yamamoto are usually just the section chief of the Asahi Shimbun. The editor-in-chief of the Asahi Shimbun is too lazy to deal with Yamamoto. I can't afford to lose this person. As long as Yamamoto doesn't commit suicide by provoking the editor-in-chief and president, the editor-in-chief and president will not deal with Yamamoto easily.

Not to mention the group of people like Akio Toyoda and Takanobu Ito who stand at the top of entrepreneurs. There is no reason to deal with Yamamoto for any reason.

Since it is said that Ito Takanobu himself said that he contacted Ye Ming, as long as he said that he had done this well and contacted Ye Ming, the rest would be the success or failure of the matter, or even saying that no matter what the matter was, it would be There is no big relationship with Yamamoto.

Yamamoto immediately said firmly at this time: "Don't worry, you two, I still have a certain connection with Brilliant Film and Television, and I will definitely do my best, but Brilliant Film and Television said that Ye Ming is in retreat preparing to film Fast and Furious Therefore, it is really hard to say whether you will be able to see Ye Ming, but you two must be mentally prepared."

Naturally, we need to make this matter clear first, lest it doesn't work out later, and then blame ourselves. Although Takanobu Ito and Akio Toyoda are the kind of people who are too lazy to deal with themselves, they don't blame themselves for such a problem. I and the Asahi Shimbun will probably have someone deal with me.

Therefore, some things must be made clear. It does not mean that you will not blame someone if you say you don’t blame them. Some people want to curry favor with Toyota and Honda. It would be extremely easy to deal with a little Yamamoto in order to curry favor with these two people.

And I mean, don’t let too many similar things happen in Japan at this time. Therefore, at this time, he should talk about such a thing first, so as to avoid any accidents in the future, and let him bear the responsibility. This is a responsibility that he cannot bear.

Ito Takanobu also understood why Yamamoto took the vaccination. He wanted to prepare himself first, so he said with a smile: "Actually, we can also go to Ye Ming directly, but because Hyundai in South Korea also has people coming , I don’t know if someone is coming from Daewoo. Therefore, this matter is relatively complicated and confusing, and we cannot expose our whereabouts casually.

This matter must be discussed with Ye Ming first, and then announced to the public. Only then can the greatest benefit be achieved. Therefore, Yamamoto-kun, you are the most suitable person, so just do your best. As long as you have delivered the message, the rest is none of your business. "

This is a guarantee that Yamamoto will not be embarrassed. Even if things go wrong, no one will make things difficult for Yamamoto. This guarantee of Ito Takanobu is already very rare. A status like Ito Takanobu can guarantee that a person can only If you are obedient and you won't be punished, there is absolutely no problem.

And no one would dare to ignore Ito Takanobu's guarantee unless there are special circumstances. At this time, Yamamoto breathed a long sigh of relief. With such a guarantee, he would be able to give it a go.

Just when Yamamoto was happy, Toyoda Akio immediately said: "The key point in this matter is that you'd better not expose our whereabouts. That is to say, contact Ye Ming according to your identity and contact him to come out for a meal. , this confidentiality work is quite important.

If you can avoid exposing us, then don't expose us. After all, the gang of Goryeo gangsters are also eyeing us, and the Yankees also want to get involved. These people are all our opponents. If we can reach an agreement with Ye Ming in advance, then we will have the upper hand in the shootout. Otherwise, we would be considered to be lagging behind others in such a matter.

If you fall behind, you will be beaten. I won’t talk about this. You should know better than me, right? "

Akio Toyoda is indeed quite cunning. Even though he looks young, compared to an old guy like Takanobu Ito, Akio Toyoda is indeed relatively young. If he hadn't been As the eldest son and grandson of the Toyota family, it would be almost impossible for him to get to this point at such a time.

But there is not just one heir to the Toyota family. To be able to stand out is not only his reputation as the eldest son and grandson, but his own abilities and cunning methods, which are also very important.

In short, the Toyota family would rather let an outsider control the Toyota Group than allow a waste of their own family to control the Toyota Group. Akio Toyoda was able to take control of the Toyota Group later, which also proves that this person definitely has the ability to control the Toyota Group.

Therefore, if a person like this either doesn't say anything all the time, or if he suddenly speaks, then this must be the key to the problem.

Just like saying that this time, Toyoda Akio's request was not to reveal in advance that the two of them wanted to meet Ye Ming. This matter was quite embarrassing for Yamamoto.

Some things are actually relatively difficult to do in the first place. If a specific condition like this is added, then it will be even more difficult to do it when it is like this.

For example, this time, Yamamoto had the urge to hit the wall. I'm here to invite Ye Ming. Can I invite Ye Ming here because of my identity?

This seems to be an unlikely thing. It is said that this guy Ye Ming is in retreat. Whether this is true or not, at least that is what Huihuang Film and Television said. (To be continued)
