Chapter 284 The Lord of the Rings

"Head, Nicholas is off the set. Is he coming in soon?" The speaker was one of Ye Zhiqiu's bodyguards.

"I know." Ye Zhiqiu said.

After that, he said to Liu Tianle, Mei Fanghua and others, "This scene is filmed here. It's time for lunch soon. It's half an hour early today. Let's go out to eat something together, and then bring it to the company for reimbursement according to the standard."

"Yeah, that's great." Many people jumped up excitedly.

"Thank you, Director Ye. Rainbow International is much better than other entertainment companies. If the next play needs actors and dragons, I hope we will have the opportunity to play in Director Ye..." A group of American actors and dragons sighed one after another.

Ye Zhiqiu has never exceeded the time in terms of filming and getting off work on time and paying the actor's remuneration.

Many third-rate actors and dragons who do not have a difficult life, as long as they do it carefully during filming, Ye Zhiqiu also has specialized personnel, who will arrange a rich lunch almost at any time to thank these professional actors.

This is what Ye Zhiqiu has continued over the years. At the same time, because of Ye Zhiqiu's intervention, every director of Rainbow International has learned from the past and become a tradition of Rainbow Nation in terms of actor catering.

In terms of catering, as long as the payment of wages is clear, almost every time it is quickly settled, and various rewards and small gifts are given.

Ye Zhiqiu thinks that he has made a lot of money, and there are still decades to go in the future. Who knows if today's dragon will grow into a superstar tomorrow.

Although Ye Zhiqiu is not afraid of these, he does not want to make some unnecessary troubles for himself, so a little money can form a good relationship and keep a good reputation. It is extremely important for his own growth and the growth of Rainbow International.

It turns out that this point of Rainbow International has indeed been widely spread by these third-rate actors and professional dragons. From a few people in the early days to all the third-rate actors and professional dragons who later cooperated with Ye Zhiqiu, almost all of them are full of praise.

For a long time, in the Entertainment Association, Rainbow International and Ye Zhiqiu have the same excellent reputation as Ye Zhiqiu's movies. Whether they want to be famous actors or professional actors who want to make a living, they are very willing to work for Rainbow International and Ye Zhiqiu.

This also creates a phenomenon that when Rainbow International recruits professional helpers, it is usually several times the number of other entertainment companies and film crews.

Nowadays, in China, Ji Wenhao, Lu Chen and others have learned Ye Zhiqiu's habits one by one, which has basically become a tradition of Fengyun Studio. Fengyun Studio is integrated with Rainbow International, so the upper class of Rainbow International can only follow suit.

Over the years, Ye Zhiqiu has independently raised Rainbow International and made huge wealth for Rainbow International. These small money have not been seen by the senior management of Rainbow International at all. In a word, the tradition of Rainbow International has been formed.

In China, the competition is more fierce. Whether it is a big-name director or an entertainment group of all sizes, it is usually economical. Who cares about the food and real thoughts of the little third-rate actors and rutists.

Usually, a play is over and break up, and the next play will be searched again. Anyway, there is no shortage of actors in this world, and there is no shortage of actors. Without you, I can choose others, and the world can be changed by anyone.

But Ye Zhiqiu's practice is different. Since the Terminator, a large number of American actors have been needed, and one of the scenes has reached thousands of people.

Ye Zhiqiu was also generous. Together with the venue fees and various expenses, although a scene ended in less than an hour, it cost Ye Zhiqiu more than a million yuan. This shows that movies are really the art of burning money, and you have to burn some money.

Fortunately, there is a place to come. Ye Zhiqiu is also used to burning experience, and even burning the scale at the same time... 80% of the dragon sets in the Destiny Planning Bureau, as well as some little stars who show their faces, almost all continue to the Terminator. For this reason, these people were all pulled over by Ye Zhiqiu when the fate planning bureau started shooting.

These people ate very well at the time of the Terminator and took the money on time, and Ye Zhiqiu's bid was one point higher than that of his peers. Although it was not much, it also made these dragons make a living happy.

So during the shooting of the Destiny Planning Bureau, he never made trouble for Ye Zhiqiu. Basically, what Ye Zhiqiu said was what he said.

This is also the benefit of Ye Zhiqiu. As the saying goes, there is a reward for giving. Other directors suppress these actors with the rules of the entertainment guild. They must be completed within the specified time. If they are not completed, the money will be reduced and so on.

This leads to many problems. The director and the actor are inseparable at any time. They must deal with the relationship well, otherwise these tricks will deliberately make mistakes and waste a lot of energy and financial resources. Which is cost-effective? Almost everyone knows it. Therefore, Ye Zhiqiu is willing to exchange a small amount of money for smooth shooting, and lay the foundation for preparing for shooting larger scenes in the future.

He is so ambitious that he can't make loopholes in these little things, so Ye Zhiqiu is usually willing to solve things with money.

"Hi, Ye, I haven't seen you for a few days. How are you?" Nicholas gave Ye Zhiqiu a hug, as if they had been friends for many years.

"They are really getting more and more familiar." At another table, Liu Tianle, who was playing with Mei Fanghua, said.

Mei Fanghua smiled and said, "I think Nicholas may join Rainbow International. What do you think?"

Liu Tianle was stunned, and then said with a smile, "Everything is possible. Lu Zhishu is possible. Nicholas is nothing impossible."

Liu Tianle's words were vague, but Mei Fanghua understood that only a few people knew that Lu Zhishu might join Rainbow International. In addition to the upper class of Rainbow International, there are only Bai Tao, Ye Zhixin and the two of them.

If this news spreads, I'm afraid that China will have three earthquakes, and even the whole Asia and the world may pay close attention to it.

"It seems that we take advantage of being able to join Rainbow International." Mei Fanghua suddenly said.

She signed in to Rainbow International at a low price for the international market. At present, she participates in the performance of the Destiny Planning Bureau. This play, in the name of Ye Zhiqiu's exploration series, has attracted much attention.

As the first part of Ye Zhiqiu's Destiny Exploration series, there is an excellent beginning, which also makes countless people have great interest and confidence in the film Destiny Planning Bureau.

For Mei Fanghua, the script of the Destiny Planning Bureau itself is extremely wonderful, not only a huge scene, but also a mysterious theme of fate.

Mei Fanghua thought that she could definitely use this play to fight a perfect opening battle. As for the second game, it was also very fast.

"It's really taking advantage of him. With his talent, he can write a script casually, and he can find many well-known actors to shoot in Jinzun Pavilion. After shooting, he can easily make money. There is no need to work hard to cultivate us..." Liu Tianle said a long speech and sighed in his heart.

"I can't figure out what he thinks. I don't know what kind of heart he is willing to give? Or is it to achieve us? Except for you, many of us don't have a deep intersection with him..."

This is the doubt in Mei Fanghua's heart. Maybe many people have such doubts. There are many movie queens with various awards. Although the grades are different, at least they also hold these laurels. In this world, there is no shortage of these people. Because there is no shortage, many movie emperors are very cheap and do not have much market value.

In this situation of a large number of movie queens, what Ye Zhiqiu did really made many people not understand, and even thought that Ye Zhiqiu was wasting time and messing around.

But it seems that few people can understand what's going on.

"Even if you want to reign over the world, you still need some ministers, haha, I don't know if my understanding is right..." Liu Tianle said funnyly.

Mei Fanghua nodded seriously and said, "Those who get more help. This is an eternal truth. I think you are right."

Liu Tianle was stunned, smiled, and changed the topic and said, "It depends on the situation. The Destiny Planning Bureau will kill the crazy Shi Si early in September for a month, so that we can also catch up with the shooting of the desperate express."

Mei Fanghua nodded and said, "The script is really good. A crazy scholar has made Lin Waner and Mu Xiaoyu popular. Now their fame is not bad in Europe and the United States. Even other supporting actors are very popular and are expected to take office quickly.

"It's a pity that the heroine of Desperate Express is not a continuation, but one by one..." Mei Fanghua sighed, thinking that if the heroine of Desperate Express also continues three parts, she will definitely become very popular.

"It's a pity, but didn't you also receive the script of Blade Warrior? Don't forget that there will be a speed and ** series later. That play needs a lot of powerful actresses, and you may go in at that time. Ye Zhiqiu smiled.

After that, another sentence came: "Kailong and I are the protagonists. You and I are classic screen couples. It is impossible for Zhiqiu not to take this into account."

Mei Fanghua smiled and said, "Whether it's Desperate Express, Blade, or the current Destiny Planning Bureau, they are all blockbusters facing the international market, and the script is wonderful, which is really unexpected."

"How did he control such a big situation? How to layout? How to construct this huge story system? And how did he know that he would succeed?

"He dares to intersperse the crazy taxi and the desperate express, so that you and Kailong can intersperse each other in it, just like playing. Then he created a longer series of speed and **, so that you two can appear in a larger world from different worlds and play more crazily. I really want to know, isn't he afraid in his heart? In case something goes wrong in the middle, isn't it all the past work?

Several questions made Liu Tianle feel funny, but when he thought that he had so many questions, Liu Tianle also sighed.

Looking at Mei Fanghua, Liu Tianle couldn't help saying, "In fact, there is another series after speed and **, which can be regarded as the end of the racing series..."

Mei Fanghua was shocked and speechless for a long time.

"He played so big..." Mei Fanghua had no other idea than shock.

"Yes, he played a lot. We already saw it when we visited vampires at night. When it came to the four parts of Night Legend, now the third part of Night Legend has been filmed. The whole world of vampires and werewolves has been completely framed. By the time of the fourth part, I don't know what the ending is. But from Blade, I see the end of the vampire system, that is to say, it is possible that Blade is the reincarnation of the vampire world, and maybe there are other series..."

"The vampire world is a big reincarnation, from his birth to his complete destruction."

"The racing world is an equally huge reincarnation, also from his birth to destruction. Zhiqiu said that in the end, it was the death car, starting from the car and dying in the car. It's that simple.

Mei Fanghua shook her head and said, "There are also the two worlds of Street Fighter and the King of Fighters. Their systems are larger and interconnected, which is almost equivalent to creating the world..."

"And Justice League, Spider-Man, Batman, Iron Man, Superman, etc..."

The more they talked, the more they couldn't go on. In the end, they could only stop talking and peek at each other.

With the popularity of Spider-Man and other series, any series can make them world superstars.

More than that, the current series have pushed them to the position of superstars step by step, and the speed of rise is so fast.

Ye Zhiqiu knows a lot about Nicholas. Ye Zhiqiu has inquired about everything about Nicholas since he last saw Nicholas, knowing that Nicholas has been getting worse and worse in the past five years. The position of the first-tier superstar of Jinzun Pavilion was not maintained and fell into the second line. Not only is the film paid much less, but there are fewer and fewer scripts connected.

The past few years have been fine, but in the past two years, he has not received a script that satisfies him. If there is no satisfactory script, it means that he will drift with the tide and have no chance to turn over.

The current situation is very clear. As long as there are one or two blockbuster films, he can definitely open up the situation of the past few years, turn over in one fell swoop, and return to his previous status. At that time, many directors will take the script for him to choose from.

This is the embarrassment of the Golden Pavilion superstars. If a movie fails, you can have a chance to turn over, but if two films fail in a row, the value will immediately fall, and the director will take the script to find other actors. Anyway, there are many actors, and there are not many without you.

In this realistic world, superstars are sometimes very embarrassed.

"Nicholas, I know your situation, but do you think I can help you?" Ye Zhiqiu said.

"Well, I know your strength very well. Your talent is incredible. I have never seen anyone more talented than you. You must be able to help me..." Nicholas said.

"I really want to help you, but I can't do anything else in my current situation." Ye Zhiqiu did not refuse directly, but did not agree.

Neither of them is stupid. Although they have had a certain friendship in the past two months, such a friendship is very weak, and the foundation is to use each other, and there is no deep relationship at all.

"Ye, you know that I don't want to star in bad movies anymore, and I don't want to wait any longer, because my current situation is very bad. If I go on like this, it will be more difficult to turn around in the future..." Nicholas is a little annoyed. Obviously, the situation is much worse than Ye Zhiqiu wants, otherwise how can a calm person like Nicholas Show such an expression.

"These two are getting more and more, I think you also understand my shooting plan. After the end of the Destiny Planning Bureau, I will shoot Terminator II and III. If there is still time after the end, I will shoot two other movies. If I really can't squeeze in time, I will spend two years or more to star in someone else's series of films, which will delay me for a long time..." Ye Zhiqiu said.

For the next two to four years, it may be longer. For Ye Zhiqiu, it is not very certain. Because he really doesn't know how Lu Zhishu will shoot the Iron-blooded Battlefield. It is possible to shoot one for two years, or longer, or three films for ten years. He was afraid and couldn't afford to spend such a long time. He thought it was necessary to figure it out first and negotiate with Lu Zhishu, otherwise he would not have to do anything.

Because for an international director like Lu Zhishu, it is absolutely necessary to completely control the actors. If you don't adjust it in advance and make it clear, I'm afraid that there will be many unnecessary problems in the process of filming.

At the same time, even if he wants to help Nicholas, he will have to wait for a few years. I'm afraid Nicholas can't wait for such a long time.

"Do you want to star in someone else's film?" Nicholas was shocked, suspected that his ears had heard wrong, and looked at Ye Zhiqiu in surprise.

Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "Yes, I will star in someone else's series of films, which will take me a long time, so even if I want to help you, I am powerless."

Nicholas seemed to suddenly care about himself and said excitedly, "Ye, don't tell me that you're talking about the Iron-blooded Battlefield. The Chinese science fiction masterpiece, which has been sold well for 50 years, was shot by Lu Zhishu, the director of Hua Guoda in Jinzunge?"

Ye Zhiqiu didn't nod, which was equivalent to the default.

Nicholas stood up incredly, looked at Ye Zhiqiu with deep eyes, and finally said excitedly, "Ye, you know, you will become a superstar because of this, and then smoothly enter the Golden Pavilion, just because of the iron-blooded battlefield."

"I handed two cooperation intentions to Lu Zhishu just to get one of the important roles. You know that Iron Blood Battlefield is a science fiction epic. The main characters in it are in every country. Lu Zhishu needs at least a dozen well-known actors from different countries, but unfortunately, I haven't received any reply until now. I'm afraid no one in the outside world would expect that the mysterious leading actor in the outside world would be you. You are the protagonist. It's incredible..." Nicholas smiled bitterly and was also extremely envious of Ye Zhiqiu.

Ye Zhiqiu has some understanding of Nicholas, who have lost his composure. Even if Nicholas, as the movie emperor of Jinzunge, will lose his composure and fall into a low tide, but to Ye Zhiqiu's surprise, although Nicholas is also so calm and indifferent when seeking help, this is obviously what a movie emperor should have. Quality.

In fact, Ye Zhiqiu has many movies that can be made for Nicholas, but he will not do useless good things, nor will he give Nicholas a script for other film companies to make. He prefers to sign Nicholas into Rainbow International by some means, and then take the opportunity to let Nicholas rise again and give Rainbow International new blood and great power.

Lu Zhishu may join Rainbow International, and Nicholas, an actor who has been out of breath for nearly five years, can also do it.

Perhaps others think that it is a delusion that Ye Zhiqiu wants to sign in to Lu Zhishu, but Ye Zhiqiu has already made a plan in his heart. It is inevitable and necessary for Lu Zhishu to join Rainbow International. Moreover, the iron-blooded battlefield must also be Rainbow International. Lu Zhishu wants an epic-level script. Ye Zhiqiu has such a script, and he has been writing for more than two months. At present, the script is about to be released, and Ye Zhiqiu is about to finish his work.

He even thought about what Lu Zhishu would look like when he saw the script.

At this time, Lu Zhishu is adapting the script of the Iron and Bloody Battlefield, which may take half a year or more. Because it is a matter of whether all the fans of the iron-blooded battlefield around the world are satisfied or not, it is not a joke. If you are not satisfied, then the first one is over, and the second part may even change the director, which will be a fatal blow to Lu Zhishu.

Another point is that as long as Lu Zhishu joins Rainbow International, Rainbow International has the right to make decisions about the actors of the Iron-blooded battlefield, and Nicholas can naturally join it.

But it will not be simple at that time. Why did you let Nicholas join the iron-blooded battlefield? With the relationship between the two for more than two months? Such a relationship in the entertainment industry is nothing.

Ye Zhiqiu has already thought very thoroughly about these things, so during the shooting of the Destiny Planning Bureau, he spent almost all his time on creating the Lord of the Rings. For Ye Zhiqiu, this is a real epic in the history of film, and it has many similarities with many legends in Europe and the United States.

Such as elves, dwarfs, kings, magic, ghosts, orcs, etc., completely construct a huge and real world of the Lord of the Rings.

Ye Zhiqiu has too many memories and ideas on the Lord of the Rings. He can even make the Lord of the Rings a more classic with the world's more perfect special effects makeup and more crazy and real computer special effects.

Originally, Ye Zhiqiu wanted to post the Lord of the Rings until he was 40 years old. When his control of the director's skills reached the point of completeness, he went to shoot the Lord of the Rings by himself to achieve his reputation that could never be surpassed by others.

However, things have changed at present. Ye Zhiqiu had to choose to move the Lord of the Rings out for Lu Zhishu and Nicholas, just to encircle the two under the banner of Rainbow International. In this way, Rainbow International can become a world-class entertainment group and achieve a greater reputation.

"Nicholas, if I can get the No. 2 role of the Iron and Blood Battlefield for you, how will you repay me?" Ye Zhiqiu suddenly said such a thing.

Nicholas was stunned and just reacted. He looked at Ye Zhiqiu seriously and said, "Ye, is this true? Can you help me get the No. 2 role, the American iron-blooded platoon..."

Ye Zhiqiu nodded, then shook his head, and finally said, "But I need to pay a great price, because I have a private agreement with Lu Zhishu."

Nicholas calmed down, looked at Ye Zhiqiu thoughtfully and said, "Ye, if you want to sign me, I have no problem, because I know that your talent is more than that, and your achievements will be unstoppable."

Ye Zhiqiu was surprised and looked at Nicholas incredulously. He really didn't expect that Nicholas had such an idea.

"Nicholas, I'm serious, because Rainbow International needs a movie emperor like you. Although I have the ability to make myself grow up quickly, it takes time, and it will take me at least three or four years to do it. It may even be possible to wait until the shooting of the iron-blooded battlefield before entering the Golden Bottle Pavilion, but this is not what I want. I need less time to achieve these ideas..." Ye Zhiqiu said very seriously. For these words, he thought there was nothing to say, even if the outside world knew it, there was nothing.

Nicholas said, "Although 95% of the Golden Pavilion are freelance actors, there are exceptions for 5%. In fact, all actors know in their hearts that only a strong entertainment group will have a relatively safe future, but because of various conditions and contract restrictions, actors rarely cooperate with film companies. In the end, there were more and more freelance actors. In my current situation, although some good scripts can be in my hands, there is a problem with their distribution, and the director usually doesn't have much fame. Although the film may get a good reputation after shooting, it doesn't have much for me at all.

"In my position, what I want is not only the good reputation of the movie, but also the box office is far above the reputation. So a good script needs to be supported by a well-known and good director, which is why I have come to such a point. But you are different. You are a world-renowned talented director with the reputation of the hand of God. Your script and movie reputation and box office are highly guaranteed. You only lack an opportunity to expand the number of cinemas at present. This is subject to the current cinema system and regulations, but as long as you enter the Golden Pavilion, these will all be open for you. You have such ability, so I am happy to join Rainbow International. Although he is only a first-class entertainment group in China, I am full of confidence in him.

"Just like Liu Tianle, you created a Liu Tianle because he believes in you to help you at the right time when you need help. You have also created miracles for him, and I can do it. I know that Rainbow International also needs another opportunity now, and I can do this opportunity, although I really want to stand in the position of my friends and not talk about these hurtful things. But my position is very embarrassing, because we haven't known each other for a long time and haven't reached such a relationship, so I can only take out my future value in exchange for these things.

"I didn't expect that you would be the star of the Iron and Bloods Battlefield, and you could get a second role for me, which is beyond my imagination. I think we can talk about signing now. I can't wait. Don't laugh at me. I've always been like this..."

Ye Zhiqiu was a little speechless. He didn't expect Nicholas to be so similar to Liu Tianle, but he also admired Nicholas's straightforwardness and courage.
