"Hey, who are you looking for, may I ask who you are?"

After connecting the phone, a female voice came, and when Wang Meng heard it, it was not Zhao Wei's voice, it should be his agent.

"Hello, is Miss Zhao Wei here? I'm Wang Meng. Wang Mengdao.

"Who? Wang Meng?" asked on the phone.

"I'm Wang Meng from DreamWorks. Wang Mengdao.

On the other end of the phone, Zhao Wei was exercising, and when she saw the agent's appearance, she asked, "Who is looking for me?"

The agent hurriedly whispered: "Sister Wei, it's Wang Meng from DreamWorks looking for you, I don't know why he's looking for you?"

As soon as the agent finished speaking, Zhao Wei immediately put down the equipment in her hand and took the phone incredibly.

And the mind turned around, how popular Wang Meng has been recently, her natural way. But Wang Meng is not familiar with himself, so calling himself is nothing more than one thing...... "Painted Skin"?

Zhao Wei adjusted her breathing and picked up the phone: "Hello Director Wang, I'm Zhao Wei." ”

Wang Meng knew what the silence just now was, it was just a sudden phone call that Zhao Wei couldn't imagine.

"Hello Miss Zhao, I'm Wang Meng from DreamWorks, and I'm presumptuous to call. Wang Mengdao.

"Huh...... It's okay, it's my honor that Director Wang can call me, and it's too late for me to be happy. Zhao Wei replied.

In 05, Zhao Wei starred in "Lover's Knot" and won many awards, Zhao Wei is at her peak at the moment, of course, if she starred in "Painted Skin" and "Red Cliff", it will be even more popular, but now it is only a little worse.

Zhao Wei really doesn't have any works to shoot recently, and Zhao Wei's movies are not many big productions.

After Wang Meng's project "Painted Skin" was established, Zhao Wei had an idea.

However, first, she is not familiar with Wang Meng, so it is difficult to ask, she is at least a big star herself, isn't she!?

Two: I heard that Wang Meng and Xu Jinglei and Zhou Xun are very familiar, these two people are not as bad as Zhao Wei at all, Zhao Wei thought to herself that even if there is a candidate, these two are still these two, and they are far behind.

But Wang Meng's sudden call made Zhao Wei's heart a little turbulent.

"Director Wang, do you have something to do with me?" Zhao Wei asked cautiously.

Today's Wang Meng is popular with whoever he cooperates with, not to mention, since Wang Meng announced that "Painted Skin" is a special effects magic film. Which domestic star doesn't want to be the heroine of such a blockbuster, who doesn't want to be stupid.

Originally, under normal circumstances, Wang Meng had already had acquaintances looking for him. But recently, Wang Meng has made a lot of moves, it is the expansion of DreamWorks, and the box office has exceeded 100 million, many actors know that it is not good to find Wang Meng at this time, and those who don't know still think that he is making friends?

Therefore, Wang Meng did not receive a call.

However, Wang Peng, Zhang Lantian, Wu Juan and others have received greetings from many acquaintances, and they all want to help ask the actors of Wang Meng's new film, how are they preparing?

"Miss Zhao should know about my latest film "Painted Skin", right?" asked Wang Meng.

When Zhao Wei heard this, her heart chuckled, and she secretly exclaimed, "Sure enough." said: "Of course, I don't know much now, right?

Zhao Wei was inseparable from ten in her heart, and she knew that Wang Meng was very happy, so after knowing Wang Meng's thoughts in general, she asked jokingly.

And Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, and said secretly, "Smart." ”

But he replied: "It seems that Miss Zhao knows? Indeed, I would like to invite you to play one of the heroines of "Painted Skin". ”

"Oh!" Zhao Wei was stunned, she didn't know that there were two heroines in "Painted Skin", but she wanted to hear Wang Meng's answer.

"There are two heroines in "Painted Skin", and the role is almost over, and you are the first protagonist in name, so I would like to ask Miss Zhao's opinion. ”

"Then Director Wang, can you tell me who the other heroine is?" Zhao Wei was very curious.

"Of course, the other one is Zhou Xun. ”

"That's right. Zhao Wei was relieved, at least one level, even Zhou Xun has been better than herself recently, and said: "Director Wang, I have no opinion, I can audition at any time when you set a time." By the way, you're the male protagonist, right?"

"Yes, the male protagonist is me. ”

Zhao Wei had no opinion after hearing this, it seems that as she thought, the male protagonist is Wang Meng, and she and Zhou Xun are the heroines.

Wang Meng was also surprised by Zhao Wei's simplicity, but he didn't think much about it.

"Miss Zhao doesn't have to audition, I didn't recruit other actresses to compete, if you have time, you can come to DreamWorks to read the script, if you have no opinion, we'll talk about it then." ”

Wang Meng didn't want to trouble, after all, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei acted well in the previous life.

And there are not many domestic actresses who can compare to the two, so naturally look for them.

Zhao Wei smiled after hearing this: "That's an honor, I will definitely go to DreamWorks to find you in three days at the latest." ”

"Okay, then I'll be waiting for you. After saying that, the two hung up the phone.

On Zhao Wei's side, the agent hurriedly asked, "Which ...... is Sister Wei?"

"Well, one of the heroines of "Painted Skin", you don't need to audition, it's your sister and mine. ”

"Ah, there's a heroine?"

"This play should not be simple, the other heroine is Zhou Xun, I am the nominal first heroine. Zhao Wei said proudly.

"Zhou Xun, that's pretty much the same, at least it didn't lower your grade. The agent muttered.

And DreamWorks ......

"Lao Wu, it's done, the two heroines, one is Zhou Xun and the other is Zhao Wei. Wang Meng hung up the phone and said to Wu Ershan.

Today's Wu Ershan appears as the assistant director of Wang Meng's new work "Painted Skin", and has been planning "Painted Skin" with Wang Meng at DreamWorks during this time.

"That's good, with Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei plus Director Wang, at least the attention has been greatly improved, plus your script is very good, as long as the special effects are good, there should be no problem. "Ur is good.

"Lao Wu, is my script really good?" Wang Meng asked cautiously.

It's not that he is not confident, but Wang Meng merged the two parts of "Painted Skin", and there are more special effects.

Although it is still in accordance with the plot of the original "Painted Skin II", there are differences, the story is more enjoyable, the characters are more distinct, but the psychology is bottomless.

"Director Wang, what do you say? How can your script be bad, it is very good, the plot is unimpeded, the characters are distinct, and the fighting scenes and special effects are also very exciting, I have never seen such an excellent script. Urshan replied.

"That's good. Wang Mengdao.

In fact, it is still forced by money, and "You at the Same Table" has also been adapted, but it is only a few dollars, and the publicity is only more than 10 million.

And "Painted Skin" is different, due to the large number of special effects and large scenes, it is expected that it will not be able to do well without 80 million, 80 million, which means that the box office will not be able to recover the cost if it is not 250 million yuan.

However, Wang Meng is not only released in China, but also in Asia, plus the relationship in Venice, Europe will also be released, and the largest box office destination in the United States will also be released.

At the very least, he had something to do with Lionsgate.

In addition, if Wang Mengruo is excellent in shooting, he doesn't believe that he can't get good results.

Moreover, now is the time when Chinese costumes are very hot in the United States, and with the theme of magic, Wang Meng is confident that he will make a fortune.

This is also the reason why the story is smooth and has no twists and turns, and it is also the reason why the special effects have been increased.

You ask a foreigner to watch it, at least let him understand what he is saying, you use the understanding of domestic fans to let foreigners watch it.

So to change the script, in short, there are conflicts, fights, special effects, and the plot is easy to understand.

"Director Wang, you play the male lead, Xiao Wei Zhou Xun plays, Princess Jing Zhao Wei plays, do you have anyone to choose this demon hunter Pang Lang and Que'er?" Wu Ershan asked.

"Yes, Pang Lang, I decided to find Feng Shaofeng to act, and this finch is looking for Liu Shishi to star. Wang Mengdao.

"Who is Feng Shaofeng? Who is this Liu Shishi?

"is a newcomer, Feng Shaofeng graduated from the play, and starred in the fashion drama "Talented Men and Women" in 03; In addition, he also starred in the emotional drama "First Love". Some time ago, he cooperated with Tao Hong and He Bing to shoot the period drama "Deep Night". But he has no reputation, this person is good, his acting skills and image are very good, and I want to sign him. Liu Shishi is also a newcomer, so I signed a contract, so I just trained it. ”

"Oh, since you have an arrangement, this drama has you, Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun, and you can support ninety percent, and you can also train newcomers for the rest. "Urshan has no opinion.

"What about the Heavenly Wolf King and the Heavenly Wolf Queen, and the Heavenly Wolf Wizard?" asked Urshan.

"It's easy to say, simple characters, just look for them from your own home, but this wolf wizard is very important, evil, mysterious, and insidious are not easy to get. Wang Mengdao.

The Sirius King and the Sirius Queen in the previous life are both supporting roles, which are very simple and can be found out from DreamWorks.

But...... The Sirius Wizard in the previous life was played by Fei Xiang, and Fei Xiang also acted well, so if he can't do it, he will continue to look for him, maybe Fei Xiang will agree.

"By the way, you can arrange the other supporting roles with Manager Zhang Lantian, as long as they are reliable and passable, I will ignore them, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei I will meet in person, and in terms of special effects, I will also go to the special effects to take a look at the special effects, you and Manager Zhang can set it." Wang Meng said to Wu Ershan.

Wu Ershan said that he understood, didn't the assistant director do this, so he naturally had no opinion.

With the determination of the main role in "Painted Skin", Wang Meng's work shifted to the special effects.

After receiving the task, Ji Fei stepped up production, and also listened to Wang Meng's advice, and spent a lot of money from Hollywood to recruit a few modelers and talents in green step shooting.

Wang Meng's layout more than a year in advance, coupled with the recent influx of funds, is now developing very fast in the special effects of dreams.

It also cooperates with major domestic colleges and universities, plus Han Sanye's matchmaking. At this time, the technology of special effects to realize dreams is no less than that of world-class special effects companies, of course, it is worse than the world's top ones.

The bad is nothing more than experience.

Wang Meng even spent a lot of money to buy a supercomputer and simply built a studio. These two alone cost a lot.

The injected funds some time ago were almost gone, Wang Meng gritted his teeth and threw another 10 million money, and he was distressed for a while.

The reduction of funds obviously can't cope with today's expenses, so Wang Meng has to find another way, and let Liu Zhiyuan make a horror movie at the beginning of next year to make some money.

also took this opportunity to speed up the filming of "Love Apartment", at least halfway through "Painted Skin", "Love Apartment" will be broadcast to recover funds.

As for "Crazy Racing", it is going to be postponed for a while, Ning Hao also understands that it is just right for him to prepare, so that the preparation is sufficient, and it is easy to start filming.

It can be said that Wang Meng's step is very dangerous......
