Entertainment Empire System

Ye Ming looked at the contract in his hand and said, "There are two young actors who haven't signed a contract with us, right?" Sister Fang Fang checked it and said, "That's right, because their guardians must agree to sign the contract." , otherwise it would be a violation, and their agent is a bit aggressive and wants to increase the price."

Ye Ming said without hesitation: "No need to wait, use spare actors. There are not many others in China, but there are many people, and there are at least one or two children. These actors must be in our hands , maybe future big stars can come out from here?”

Ye Ming's words have already confirmed that some people's life trajectories will change.

A low shantytown in Shanghai. Don’t think that Shanghai must be high-rise buildings. In fact, there are shantytowns in Shanghai. Ye Ming held the script and looked at the camera in front of the monitor, frowning a little. He was very He said unhappily: "It has been three days since we started shooting. If you say that the first day is the running-in period, it can be forgiven. But in such a situation, today is already the third day. If you say it is It’s hard to say what kind of running-in period it will take.”

Sister Fang Fang said very helplessly: "There is no way around this. Children are not so cooperative in acting. Some things are beyond human control. It is easy for adults to say it, but it is not easy for children to control it. Especially this In the hot summer, it is not easy to shoot scenes with children, and mistakes are allowed. Director, you can't be too demanding."

Ye Ming thought for a moment and said, "Call Xiaocao and Tiantian over. I have something to say to her."

Xiaocao is the heroine He Jia's childhood, and she is also a young actor that Ye Ming first recognized. She is very talented in acting, but seems to have some stage fright.

And Tiantian is the childhood of the male protagonist Zhao Fan, who was selected second from hundreds of young actors who applied. Because the requirements for the first place were too high, he was directly rejected by Ye Ming. For an actor who doesn't listen to the director, no matter how good his performance is or how talented he is, Ye Ming will not use it.

Tiantian is lucky enough to be the minor protagonist of this movie. It was my first time making a movie, so I somewhat understood this. Xiaocao and Tiantian just said they were a little nervous and walked over and said, "Uncle, come to me."

If you are an ordinary actor, standing in front of Ye Ming, especially standing in front of Ye Ming's serious face, it will basically become trembling.

But Xiaocao is just a child after all, and in such a situation, he simply didn't feel that a storm was coming.

Of course, Ye Ming didn't want to lose his temper in front of the children, because he knew very well that the children could not be blamed for this matter. These children could see that they had worked very hard.

Ye Ming asked directly: "You two, it's not that you don't work hard. I've seen memorizing your lines. It's very hard. And I was also there when you were playing together. When you were playing against each other, you were very good." It’s a performance, but when the recording officially starts, why do you make those nervous mistakes that shouldn’t be made?”

It is a basic requirement for an actor to be in good condition in front of the camera. Even if you are performing in a group, you must try your best to ensure that your expression is the best in front of the camera.

It can be said that this was Xiaocao's first contact with acting. She mustered up the courage to say: "Actually, I don't know either. After calling the power on, my whole body felt like my brain was in a blur and I didn't know what to do."

Tiantian thought for a moment and said, "I'm the same way. The more I start shooting, the more nervous I get. I usually memorize my lines very well, but I always forget them at critical moments."

Ye Ming pondered for a moment, being nervous and forgetting his words. This was indeed a sign of stage fright. If he could not solve such a problem, it would still be easy to make some mistakes at this time.

On a matter like this, Ye Ming's own ideas cannot be imposed on the two children. Although he can be angry with the crew and the actors, he can't be angry with the two children.

Ye Ming knew that he couldn't get angry easily. At this moment, the entertainment empire system is activated. It has been a long time since I saw the entertainment empire system activated.

This also means that Ye Ming has not made any progress for a long time. Even though Ye Ming's performance has now reached the pinnacle of Asia, there are some things he still needs to learn. For example, what should the director do at this time?

The entertainment empire system shows [Ye Ming understands the true meaning of Samsung director and teaches students in accordance with their aptitude. Different guidance methods should be used for different actors]

Teaching students in accordance with their aptitude, teaching without distinction, this is the most basic quality of a three-star director. If it were not for some irresistible factors, a director who can do this will become a big star if he looks for something. directed.

At this time, Ye Ming finally understood what it was like to teach students in accordance with their aptitude, that is, how to teach actors to perform one of their own roles.

Ye Ming opened the child button and entered his own question. At this time, the answer given by the entertainment empire system was [encourage, induce, induce, encourage. 】

Ye Ming frowned and said, "Can't we preach? If we tell them how to act, will these young actors make some progress?"

The system answered decisively [Impossible. The way a child performs is very different from the way ordinary people perform. Therefore, at this time, the child's talent is the most difficult to imitate and change. 】

If Ye Ming wanted to solve some problem in such a situation, he should look for the key. The key to children is that you cannot treat them in the same way as a normal actor.

Ye Ming nodded, then re-adjusted his thoughts and said: "This matter also has some factors of mine in it. It will be easier for you to shoot next. I will let you practice more in real scenes without turning on the camera. , let you practice it first, this way, the chance of success will be higher."

This method is indeed a good method. If you don’t start shooting directly, this can indeed save some time. And that is to say, on a question like this, the two young actors can also use their imagination to their heart's content.

This will help them integrate into the movie. Don’t think that young actors are just there to join in the fun and cannot integrate into the movie. In fact, this is wrong. On such a question, if young actors say that they can integrate into the movie, then Such a thing can further enhance the overall effect of the movie. And what Ye Ming wants is an effect like this.

Ye Ming asked Xiaocao and Tiantian to go back and prepare for the next shooting, and then called Xu Zheng over. Xu Zheng was as relaxed as Meng Kunyu, Xiaocao and Tiantian.

He knows best how much the crew spends in a day. At times like this, there is basically not much gained in three days. It would be strange if the director could be in a better mood at this time.

Therefore, Xu Zheng also walked over fearfully when it came to such a matter, as if he was walking on thin ice. Xu Zheng said cautiously: "Director, what orders do you have from me?"

Ye Ming thought for a while and then said: "The filming of the crew is not very ideal. Therefore, at this time, I decided to change the shooting method and use candid shooting for the next shooting?"

If Ye Ming lost his temper, Xu Zheng would be more accepting of it in such a situation. After all, it meant that Ye Ming still trusted him in such a situation.

However, Ye Ming's calm demeanor made Xu Zheng confused about this matter. Is the boss angry or not? Could it be that the boss has doubts about his ability?

This is a pretty big deal for Xu Zheng. Therefore, Xu Zheng said very firmly at this moment: "Boss, if you give me another chance, I will definitely shoot this scene."

He directed The Legend of Zhen Huan. For such a difficult TV series, everyone worked together to complete it. In the process, Xu Zheng also learned a lot. Directors come up step by step. For example, if Zhang Yimou, the national teacher, had not come out step by step from movies and filmed many operas, would he be the director of the Olympic Games in the end?

That's impossible. It was precisely because Zhang Yimou had rich experience in directing movies, large-scale productions, operas, etc. that he later got the opportunity to direct the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games.

It can be said that Xu Zheng can direct most movies and TV series now, and he can be regarded as the director with the most rich experience in Huihuang Film and Television.

This time as executive director, I have not fully utilized my abilities so far.

Seeing Xu Zheng's determination to prove himself, Ye Ming waved his hand with a smile and said: "Xu Zheng, I'm not questioning your ability to perform, but I am saying that you are not good at performing children's roles.

This is the most difficult thing for a director to do. There are only a handful of directors in the world who have this ability. At least now it is difficult for me to fully express this state, so we have to take advantage of opportunities. It’s not that your execution ability is bad. In fact, if another director is used as the executive director, the effect will be the same. "

Xu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not questioning his ability. He said with some hesitation: "Isn't it possible that directors of the level of Zhang Yimou and Brother Chen Kai are coming?"

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "It's hard to say. I don't know what state they have reached, but I think it is difficult for them to control the situation. Why is it difficult to copy Home Alone? That's because they want to find a Macaulay What a difficult thing it is for Kim, who is a talented young actor, and of course Shirley Temple. Anyway, it is not only a good director, but also a good young actor.

We from China, Shi Xiaolong and Hao Shaowen, are also talented young actors. Maybe Xiaocao will have this ability after a while, but we can't wait. Under such a situation, we have to hurry up and plan the filming. What must be completed must be completed? "

Xu Zheng thought for a while, thinking about the success or failure of the past three days, and then said: "Boss, if we use secret photography at this time, can we succeed?"

At this time, Sister Fang Fang walked in angrily, holding a newspaper and said: "Boss, take a look. This is what is published in today's [Southern Sunday]. It is obviously to blackmail our crew. We started shooting for three days, but we didn’t even shoot one minute of the scene. What a waste of time?"

This [Southern Sunday] has always belonged to Ye Ming. Fortunately, Ye Ming's performance has always been very stable, and there are not many things that make people hate him. Even emotionally, because of Chen Xi's existence, he will not be with others. What scandals do actresses have.

Ye Ming has a very good relationship with Zhao Wei and Fan Binbin. He has also worked with Zhang Ziyi and Zhou Xun respectively, but there have never been any scandals, which is also rare.

But [Southern Sunday] seems to be deliberately trying to get along with Ye Ming. If there is a chance of blackmailing Ye Ming, then [Southern Sunday] is definitely indispensable.

After Ye Ming saw these reports, he said with a smile: "It's almost the same. We did shoot less. In three days, we didn't even shoot a five-minute scene. Although they reduced it a bit, there is essentially no difference." Yes, let them talk, as long as they don't spread rumors, they can say whatever they like. We make a movie and they promote it to us, so what should we worry about?"

Although there are slight differences in the data reported by [Southern Sunday], at least there is essentially no rumor making.

One minute and five minutes are actually very few for Ye Ming, so there is nothing to worry about.

The key is that Ye Ming doesn't have this intention. If he spends all day litigating for this type of report, then Ye Ming won't have to do anything else throughout the year.

Therefore, Ye Ming paid no attention to this matter at all. Sister Fang Fang said with some confusion: "Is this matter settled like this? I can't swallow this breath. I see. We still sue them. Such reports will do some damage to the reputation of our crew. Is it a loss? Killing a chicken to scare the monkeys is basically what you do, right?"

Ye Ming shook his head and said: "This is a trap of [Southern Sunday]. They are still eager for us to sue them immediately. By then, if everyone files lawsuits, they will gather more popularity. This is disguised hype. themselves, so we don’t have to be deceived or cooperate with the [Southern Sunday] hype. (To be continued)
