The headquarters of DreamWorks. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

After Wang Meng returned from Japan, he accepted a series of interviews.

The day after tomorrow, I will rush to Midi to hold the third premiere of "Painted Skin", which is also a very important one.

In Wang Meng's office, Wang Peng was reporting to Wang Meng.

"Director Wang, we have come up with the script of "Step by Step" you said, you can take the time to read it."

Some time ago, Wang Meng said to Wang Peng that he should pay attention to the thrilling novel step by step, and adapt it into a script as soon as possible and set up a project for filming.

For this reason, Wang Peng is very concerned, but if Wang Meng is optimistic, there will be no bad grades.

For Wang Peng, who just got good results from "Love Apartment", he is naturally very concerned.

"What are you going to do with Love Apartment?" Wang Meng asked.

"This script is ready, and it will be filmed before next summer, Director Wang can rest assured, I am ready." Wang Peng said.

The plan for DreamWorks for Love Apartment is one season a year. It took a few years to cast "Love Apartment" into a classic sitcom series.

If other film and television companies saw that "Love Apartment 1" had such ratings, they would have been eager to start "Love Apartment 2", that is, a company like DreamWorks that does not worry about no works to shoot is not in a hurry.

Even though the Internet is calling for - hurry up and get Love Apartment 2, DreamWorks is unmoved.

"Well, it's good if you're prepared, I took a general look at the script, and you can take a look at some of the things that need to be changed, find the screenwriter to continue to complete it, and strive to start shooting as soon as possible. The filming of "Step by Step Shocking" is not simple, but it is not a simple situational chamber drama. ”

"Director Wang, don't worry, although I don't have much experience and only filmed a sitcom "Love Apartment", I won't let you down." Wang Peng immediately expressed his determination.

I'm afraid that Wang Meng won't trust it.

In fact, don't look at Liu Zhiyuan's very powerful appearance, he filmed a "Chainsaw" that moved the world.

In fact, everyone knows that this work was completed under the guidance of Wang Meng, and it was also made according to Wang Meng's meaning.

It's not good to say, Liu Zhiyuan is a puppet. I really don't have much experience, maybe it's difficult to make a TV series.

Wang Peng is different, he is very solid, he made various works with Wang Meng in the early stage, and then started with simple scenes and chamber dramas, and accumulated a lot of experience.

Now it's time to make a long series of costume TV series, as long as Wang Meng's requirements are met this time, then the next time will be a movie, this is the safest way.

Experience and connections, not buildings.

"As long as you have confidence, I'm still at ease with you, at least I like your stability." Wang Meng praised.

Wang Peng was very excited.

Don't look at Wang Meng's young age, but who Wang Meng praises now, it is definitely his glory, this is not determined by age, but by achievements.

"Don't worry, Director Wang, I will take my time and take every step of the way." Wang Peng said.

"Hmm." Wang Meng nodded and said: "That's good, finish filming "Step by Step", accumulate some experience, and then there is a "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is not bad, I hope to make it into a TV series first, and then make it into a movie." As long as your "Step by Step Horror" is done, the later "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" will also be yours. Wang Mengdao.

This is to give Wang Peng a future.

Every director, as long as he enters the industry, is going to the movie, and a director who doesn't want to be a film director is not a good director.

Wang Meng knows that Wang Peng also likes to be a film director, and now he is giving him a promise to give him a way forward.

"Really? Thank you, Director Wang. Wang Peng was amused. It seems that I also have a time to make movies.

"You just have to work hard, and experience comes first." Wang Meng waved his hand absently.

asked again: "How is Liu Shishi?" Did you talk to her? ”

The first heroine and the most important actor of "Step by Step" is Liu Shishi, don't watch Liu Shishi act in a movie, but her acting skills are really not good, she can mix a TV series, and she will definitely not be able to hold up as the heroine of the movie. It's not that popular.

"This?" Wang Peng said embarrassedly: "Director Wang, do you really want to use Liu Shishi?" I think the popularity of Tang Yan, Zhao Liying and others is also very good, much better than Liu Shishi, "Painted Skin" did not bring Liu Shishi a lot of fame. ”

"Hehe......" Wang Meng said with a smile: "It's too early for you to say it now, the current box office of "Painted Skin" and the world are about to land one by one, so the reputation of the actor is naturally not much." Not to mention newcomers like Liu Shishi and Feng Shaofeng, you see that apart from me, Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun have not reported much. It's every time it's time! When the movie slowly stirs up the box office topic, and it is the actor's fame that goes back, is the reason? Our "Painted Skin" is so rebellious that the actors ignore it. ”

Wang Meng is proud of this.

The popularity of "Painted Skin" today is beyond the popularity of ordinary film and television, especially now that everyone is staring at the box office and topics, as well as the plot special effects.

As for the actors, there really aren't many reports.

But? Wang Meng is not in a hurry.

Now is the time to hype up the box office and topics, and after half a month, it will be the most brilliant time for the actors.

Now Wang Peng can't see Liu Shishi's popularity, but Wang Meng doesn't think so.

Liu Shishi's finch is not simple, simple, cold-blooded, cute, enthusiastic, and dedicated.

Such a character with a soul will never be buried, just look at Yang Mi, the actor of the finch in the previous life.

"That's okay, is Liu Shishi a little fast, will the female artists of many companies be dissatisfied?" Wang Peng asked.

"Who is not satisfied, who is idle?" Wang Meng asked.

"Ugh!" Wang Peng squeaked and whimpered: "This is not idle, there are not many artists in our company, and we have many plans, almost no male or female artists are idle, there are many film appointments." ”

"That's it, so what are you afraid of?"

"Director Wang, you really don't know, or do you want to entertain me!?" Wang Peng smiled bitterly: "Can other films be the same as our company's works?" Which of our works is not popular all over the country, and your works are even more popular all over the world, and they all want to appear in our own works!? ”

Saying this, Wang Meng was in a trance.

It turns out that I like my own works.,It's easy to say this.。

The first half of this year is the completion of the task, but there is still the second half of the year, not to mention that there will be more plans for next year, don't worry that they have no place to act.

"You don't have to worry about this, I'll talk about it after a while, 3 of our four major plans have been completed in the first half of the year, but it doesn't mean that we won't do it in the second half of the year, not to mention the future? Tell them not to worry, I understand their desire to progress, but the role is just suitable, is it that I only take care of Liu Shishi? Wang Mengdao.

"This ......? is also done, everyone knows Director Wang's style. Wang Peng said.

Several veterans who are familiar with the relationship between Wang Meng and Yang Ying have found that the current Wang Meng's prodigal son has turned back, and he is almost about to break off his relationship with Yang Ying, only Jiang Shuying is gone.

They are not stupid, Wang Meng's changes naturally know, and they also approve of such an approach.

Not to mention Jiang Shuying's status now, let's just say that Wang Meng himself is the pillar of the company, and everyone hopes that Wang Meng will do well.

"That's it, you don't have to worry about anything else, finish the script of "Step by Step" as soon as possible, form a crew, and start filming early. Later, I will talk to Director Wu Ershan about a plan, and the animated 3D movie with special effects will also be launched. I don't have much time, and I still have a small plan to get in the second half of the year, although it is a small production, but it is very troublesome, and the script alone is very tiring. I don't have time to pay attention to your side, so just find an experienced assistant director, and you can do it together. ”

"Okay."

Wang Peng pricked up his ears and listened, and it seemed that he had heard a lot of news again.

I thought to myself, it seems that Director Wang still has a lot of plans!

After Wang Peng left, Wu Ershan came after a while.

"How is Lao Wu, how are you thinking about it?" Wang Meng asked.

Previously, the two collaborated to complete the work of "Painted Skin", and now Painted Skin has conquered the world and shocked the world with brilliant achievements.

And Wu Ershan, who ended the work of "Painted Skin", has been thinking about one thing.

Some time ago, Wang Meng said to Wu Ershan that he had a plan for him to take over.

It was last year that he bought out the film and television copyright "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

In the previous life, Wu Ershan filmed "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: Looking for the Dragon" and got a good result of more than 1.6 billion at the mainland box office, compared with another version of "Nine-Story Demon Tower", whether it is box office or word of mouth, it is almost overwhelming.

Wang Meng said before that he asked him to take over "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", he was not in a hurry, but I hope he will not refuse.

Wu Ershan was also thinking about this matter during this time.

In recent years, his literary and artistic dedication has gradually decreased.

Previously, Wu Ershan preferred photography, or made some niche movies that he liked.

"Painted Skin" was the first blockbuster film he participated in as a commercial film.

To put it mildly, commercial films are running for the box office, as for art and depth? Wood has!

At the beginning of the period, Wu Ershan was repulsed, but "Painted Skin" stimulated him and made him change in advance.

It took 12 years to accept commercial films in the previous life.

"I can try, before I thought too much, I can pursue art, but to live the situation. Through DreamWorks films, I saw the potential of commercial films, and I also hope to lay the foundation for my future niche films through commercial films. Only when you have a full meal can you have other ideas, and if you can't eat enough, nothing else is even more impossible. Wu Ershan said.

Wu Ershan said that the bull's head is not the horse's mouth, but fortunately Wang Meng understands.

It is nothing more than the status quo of Chinese films, which only pursues art, art first, and everything else is rubbish.

But, now you're too artistic and no one cares about it, everyone likes to watch blockbusters, likes to watch comedy, likes to watch, pee and fart.

It is not denied that art films must also exist, but they can't all be made of art, and there must be commercial films to drive the box office in order for art films to survive.

"It's good that you understand, in fact, you are wrong, commercial films can also have art, but they are not pure. I think it's a good movie that makes people feel good. Wang Meng was pleased.

Speaking of artistic movies, Wang Meng has seen more from his previous life, and the shooting is simple.

Why didn't Wang Meng shoot those?

Just look at "The Good Man of the Three Gorges".

It is true that it has won an award, and it has connotation, but it doesn't make much money.

If you don't make money, how can you promote development, so business and art are equally important.

Even business is more important, only when you are full can you have the sentiment to make art, you can't eat enough, and you still can't understand art, that's stupid.

This is the dilemma of old Chinese directors today.

How many old directors have disappeared from the film industry, and how many newcomers have come to the fore.

Take a look at the later generations of "Charlotte's Troubles", "Pancake Man", and "Get Out!" Tumor Jun", "Breakup Master", "Monster Hunt". How many directors of these films are famous, why are they successful?

This is the charm of commercial films, and how many pure art films were there at that time? It's just that there is, what is the name, it seems that I can't remember.

Even "Lao Paoer" belongs to art, and Feng Xiaogang is a Golden Horse actor......

"In this way, this year, you can get the script well and discuss it more with the original world. When the time comes, I will check the script for you, don't worry, you just need to take over. Wang Meng saw that Wu Ershan agreed, and he was relieved.

There are too many film plans, and I am absolutely too busy to be alone, so I have to find someone to shoot, hoping that through the efforts of these people, the evolution of Chinese films can be accelerated.

As long as DreamWorks' plans are profitable, there will naturally be more followers, and more people will follow the trend, and both business and art will develop.

Instead of now, art comes first.

……

In the afternoon, Wang Mengyou asked Gu Gaoyi and Jifei, who realized the special effects of the dream, and a group of special effects personnel. After the special effects work of "Painted Skin" was completed, a group of people had plans to start an animated movie.

Try "Bear Infested" first, as long as it meets expectations, then "Kung Fu Panda", "Crazy Primitives", "The Return of the Great Sage" and so on, can also start.

…… (To be continued.) )
