Chapter 111: The Nature of Zhou Xingxing
Sure enough, Lost in Thailand was still ordered to be revised. This is a key word. Modification is not to prevent you from being screened. After all, Ye Ming is one of the ambassadors for the Olympic bid. In such a situation, if Lost in Thailand is rashly banned from being released, and there is no reasonable reason, it would be a bit like killing a donkey.
The General Administration still has concerns about this, so he gave a modification. How to modify it and what level you can pass the test is the final decision. The general administration has the final say. The general administration has the final say. If you, Ye Ming, bow your head and admit your mistake, even if your movie is modified, if you say that you don’t bow your head and admit your mistake, then wait and continue to modify it.
In fact, everyone knows this point, and those who know this news also understand what the General Administration means.
Your Ye Ming had a box office of 700 million to 800 million yuan, but he did not pay a penny of taxes and fees, and this was just waiting to be cleaned up.
Ye Ming has been very low-key these two days. The expected ban is also a thunder and a little rain, because the General Administration means to ban it directly, but the princess quits. It is difficult for China to produce such a young actor with influence in Hollywood. It is always not good if you ban it directly.
Therefore, in the end, I just want to symbolically return Ye Ming’s movie and revise it.
The rest of the ban will end up in nothing.
The actors of Brilliant Film and Television, such as Sun Li, Ma Su, Xu Zheng, Wang Baoqiang, etc., are still taking on roles.
No one dares to underestimate Ye Ming. Even if Ye Ming's drama was actually banned, Ye Ming is still the top star among the new generation of actors. He can still have great energy in the entertainment industry by mastering the Glory Network. Moreover, Ye Ming was not directly banned, and no one would offend Ye Ming.
Of course, it is not that there is no negative impact at this moment. At least Ye Ming will not make movies anymore. This is also a way for the General Administration. The General Administration did not directly ban Ye Ming, but Ye Ming could not jump around in front of the General Administration immediately, right?
Zhou Xingxing's movie, [Shaolin Football Young Player], called Zhou Xingxing directly and told Ye Ming that there was no problem and hoped that Ye Ming would continue to play the role in the movie.
Zhou Xingxing is not very popular. Although there is one aspect of it, his artistic persistence is worthy of everyone's respect. Whether it is his friend or enemy, this must be recognized. If you continue to work with Ye Ming, it is difficult to say whether this movie can be screened in the mainland.
But Ye Ming said decisively: "Forget it, this matter. Why bother with the General Administration? It is not easy to shoot a movie. Pass the contract over. We terminate the contract. In fact, there is no problem with the fourth brother performing this movie.
Don’t worry about investment, I will not withdraw my investment, but if I perform, I don’t need to. If the movie cannot be screened in the mainland because of my performance, it would be a bit regrettable."
Zhou Xingxing has artistic persistence, but the market will also make him bow his head. Ye Ming finally convinced Zhou Xingxing to temporarily replace the movie. Although everyone kept the news confidential. However, at this critical moment, Ye Ming's withdrawal from the Shaolin Football Young Player movie was exposed by the media.
At first, everyone said that Ye Ming and Zhou Xingxing broke up because of their disagreement. Zhou Xingxing simply didn't respond directly. Anyway, as an old actor, he also knew the benefits of hype. When Ye Ming terminated his contract with him, he had already made such a hype plan. The reporters would hype whatever they like, and anyway, it would be beneficial to the movie.
The reporter asked Zhou Xingxing what it was like to fall to the ground. Zhou Xingxing was vague and didn't explain it clearly at all. Ye Ming shut up directly. It was very difficult to interview Ye Ming now.
It was not until the Spring Festival Gala of Tianchaotai held a press conference that Ye Ming reappeared in everyone's sight. Therefore, at this time, the reporter asked Ye Ming why he did not participate in Zhou Xingxing's new film, but Ye Ming refused the reporter's interview because the press conference did not answer other questions.
There is no way, Ye Ming has become a superstar now. If he says a question he doesn't want to answer, others can't really let him answer it.
Moreover, what does Ye Ming represent when he was able to attend the Spring Festival Gala of Heavenly Chaotai mean? This represents that Ye Ming was banned. Heavenly Chaotai is the prince under the General Administration. Therefore, the Heavenly Chaotai can use Ye Ming to represent a signal, which means that Ye Ming was not banned at all.
At this moment, Ye Ming got the press conference of the Spring Festival Gala and received a call from Andy Lau.
Andy Lau complained there, "Ming Zai, what are you doing? The movie has been banned. I have to shoot the second Infernal Affairs movie. You have been banned. Then you say, what should I do with my movie? We will still shoot it."
In the second part, Infernal Affairs, Ye Ming is actually a very important figure. Therefore, under such a situation, Ye Ming directly formed such a particularly important node. In the second part of Infernal Affairs, Ye Ming is also an indispensable figure. Now that this kind of thing happens, Andy Lau is also very helpless.
Ye Ming smiled and said, "Don't worry, Andy Lau, things will always pass. You know what the so-called ban is like. Next year, at most next year, this matter will pass. It's just a ban on my movie being screened. It's rumored that it's banned. You can prepare with peace of mind. The second movie will be fine. Don't worry about this."
Andy Lau hesitated for a moment. In fact, he believed in Ye Ming very much, but he had to figure out some things. This was an investment of tens of millions and he couldn't afford it. So Andy Lau immediately said: "Then explain clearly why he gave up Zhou Xingxing's movie? You have signed a contract long ago, and you took the initiative to terminate the contract. Others don't know about this, and many people in the circle are clear about it. Since you have not been banned, why didn't you participate in Zhou Xingxing's movie?"
Andy Lau thought Ye Mingfei had banned it because under such a situation, Ye Ming turned down Zhou Xingxing's movie, which is incredible.
Ye Ming hesitated for a moment before saying, "You should be more familiar with Zhou Xingxing than me. You should know what kind of person he is, right?"
Andy Lau and Zhou Xingxing have known each other for a long time. They were friends when they were on the TVB. Even now, the relationship between the two is OK. This is a very difficult thing among Zhou Xingxing's friends.
Therefore, when talking about Zhou Xingxing, Andy Lau thought for a while and said, "He is talented and can support poverty, but he cannot share wealth and honor."
This is the evaluation of the Heavenly King on another Heavenly King. But such an evaluation is also a very pertinent evaluation. Ye Ming can be said to have never told anyone, but this time he didn't say it.
Therefore, Ye Ming sighed and said, "That's right, Zhou Xingxing is almost like this. If it's said that my movie was not called back by the General Administration, there is no problem. I have no problem in investing in his movies.
But my movie was beaten back after all, and this will always have some impact. If it is said that Shaolin football player cannot be released, then you say, even if it is not for me, if it is said that Zhou Xingxing, would he blame me?"
This seems to be a possibility. With Andy Lau’s understanding of Zhou Xingxing, he may indeed be such a person.
Shaolin football player, he invested a lot of money. If he was banned from being released in the mainland for some reason, then he would definitely blame others for the reason, but he would never blame himself. At this moment, Andy Lau seemed to have thought of something and said: "Did you decide that Zhou Xingxing's movie will be banned from being released at this time?"
Ye Ming has not started filming this movie yet. Even Shaolin football players have not started filming yet, but Ye Ming has already begun to worry about whether the movie will be banned from being released.
What does this mean? This shows that Ye Ming has already proved that the movie may be banned from being released.
Therefore, at this time, Andy Lau was also curious. What news did Ye Ming get?
Ye Ming did not tell his own news, but said: "Anyway, you know, there is a very special thing in China and other places, that is, in such a matter, the General Administration reviews and the General Administration asks you to pass, then you can pass. If the General Administration says that you cannot pass, then you can't pass. My movies have passed the review, so I have to find a schedule to be released during the Spring Festival, but I was beaten back.
I just asked me to modify it, saying that some content is inappropriate, and I don’t know what is inappropriate, so how do you ask me to modify it at this time. Therefore, the key is that the General Administration, Zhou Xingxing’s movie is unlikely to pass the General Administration. There is only so much to say.”
At this time, Andy Lau would not continue to ask anything. Ye Ming had already made it clear that the matter might be due to the General Administration, so the reason was not separated. Moreover, Andy Lau believed that Ye Ming must have obtained some clues, so he was sure to say that. But at this moment, as for the specific news, Andy Lau was very experienced and did not ask, either asking or not asking. This is a hidden rule in the circle.
Andy Lau thought for a while and said, "Okay, forget it, since you are sure, then I will wait for the news. The General Administration will not be surprised, right?"
Ye Ming was very confident: "Don't worry, there are people above us, and they won't be suppressed all the time. The people in our company are not saying that they are shooting movies the same. If I banned me, I would have banned the people in our company long ago.
Recently, I will prepare to do some TV shows, the second season of the show Huaer and Boy, and I think it should have started filming long ago. Therefore, in this case, I will start choosing this thing to do. Several actors have almost contacted each other. When the time comes, cool down the movie, and there will be no problem with everything."
Ye Ming had his own considerations. In fact, he wanted to arrange the schedule for Lost in Thailand, and then Jackson's concert, Spring Festival Gala, and finally Zhou Xingxing's movie. However, because this happened to the General Administration, he directly adjusted his plan. There was no need to think about Lost in Thailand and Jackson's concerts, and it was impossible to change this year.
The General Administration will not change its orders every day, so Ye Ming hopes that this problem can be solved tomorrow.
There is also Zhou Xingxing's movie. In this case, Zhou Xingxing's personality is different from others. Therefore, Ye Ming does not want to have a breakup with Zhou Xingxing directly. After all, this is related to his own interests. This movie has also been invested in part by himself, and he has his own share of the money he makes. Therefore, at this time, it is normal to withdraw from Zhou Xingxing's movie.
Finally, he directly chose to shoot a TV program. At this time, Ye Ming went to shoot a movie, which was to challenge the patience of the General Administration. Although it was said that Ye Ming was not banned, if Ye Ming was too arrogant in such a situation, it would definitely be destroyed without any negotiation.
Therefore, when shooting a TV series, everyone will have more face.
Mango TV has been in touch with me to shoot the second part of Flowers and Boys. Now I finally have time to do such a thing, which somewhat surprised Ye Ming.
Moreover, after receiving Ye Ming's call, Mango TV was also very surprised. However, it was quite good to start shooting as soon as possible.
Ye Ming was able to appear at the press conference of the Spring Festival Gala of Tianchao Taiwan, which means that under such circumstances, there is no problem with him producing variety shows. At least the General Administration has no intention of banning Ye Ming. What the Tianchao Taiwan can do, the provincial and municipal TV towers below will naturally follow the boss to learn.
If the boss can use Ye Ming, Mango TV can naturally use Ye Ming. Otherwise, if you give Mango TV a courage at this time, they will not be able to come to Ye Ming to shoot variety shows against the General Administration.
This is a win-win situation. From now on, Ye Ming has shifted his focus to variety shows at least.
At this time, Mango TV is still very confident in creating miracles when Ye Ming’s performance on variety shows. Of course, everything is in a secret plan and keep a low profile.
Low-key is the king. After all, Ye Ming provoked the General Administration, and it is always without any harm to be low-key. Therefore, neither Mango TV nor Huihuang Film and Television vigorously promoted this matter, and everything was in an orderly manner. (To be continued...)
