Chapter 694: Raising Funds to Beat Wang Meng!

"Brother Fa, it's been a hard time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" Wang Meng smiled at the 'handsome' Fa Ge in front of him.

The two raised their glasses and touched them gently!

"It's not hard work, you have to do things well when you get money, and you have to work hard when you become an actor. It's Director Wang, when will the two of us cooperate. At that time, I didn't have to work hard at all. Fa Ge smiled.

"Huh...... That's something to look forward to!"

The finale banquet of "Let the Bullets Fly", as a movie that Wang Meng values very much, coupled with Jiang Wen's invitation, Wang Meng took time to come to the celebration party!

Jiang Wen is a very stubborn director, and after more than a year of grinding, he finally finished filming the movie "Let the Bullets Fly"!

In his previous life, Wang Meng had watched this movie many times and admired Director Jiang Wen's ability.

Everyone, or every director, has their own strong personal style.

Jiang Wen is undoubtedly one of the best, as long as you watch his movie, you can know who got it?

There was a saying before, "If you don't have Wong Kar-wai's ability, don't engage in any dialogue literature?"

This sentence is also suitable for Jiang Wen. "If you don't have Jiang Wen's ability, don't imitate him, because it will only make you miserable!"

As a director with personality, coupled with Wang Meng's tolerance, Jiang Wen was happy this time, tried all kinds of trade-offs, and almost got them all according to the ideas in his heart.

Coupled with the remuneration of the major leading actors, the production cost of this movie is as high as nearly 200 million yuan.

It's much, much higher than the original plane.

For a company like DreamWorks that can get nearly 75% of the box office, ordinary small companies would never dare to make this kind of attempt.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Wen is an alternative, but this guy is still a little worse than the national teacher.

The movies of the national teacher, not to mention anything else, Europe and the United States can at least get good results.

And Jiang Wen is different, he is more suitable for the country, his movies are too difficult to understand, even we Chinese sometimes can't understand it, you expect this foreigner to understand it is impossible!

Therefore, Jiang Wen is very embarrassed in the Chinese directorial industry, the level and fame are not said, but the output of his works is far from enough.

Coupled with that unusual personality, I don't like it if I know how to make money by filming, but I don't like it, so I want to shoot myself happy, however...... He doesn't make money when he's happy!

This is the embarrassing place, the high cost, the long shooting cycle, and the personality are quite personal, which leads to Jiang Wen's movies not being liked by investors!

Although sometimes fans are looking forward to it!

To tell the truth, Wang Meng likes this kind of director very much? It's not hypocrisy, but I like the persistence of this kind of person!

What is a literary fan? What is a cold fan? is this kind of person, and there are only two domestic directors who have maintained this as always, Jia Zhangke and Jiang Wen.

Even Jia Zhangke changed his way to adapt to the times, but this guy didn't change his original intention!

Wang Meng is different, he also likes Fan Qiang, but he knows that the scale is there!

He has a clear resolution, for example, when "The True Story of A Niu", he knew that this was a literary film, so from planning to project approval to publicity...... It's all been thought through.

Including looking for memories of the times, including big discussions on the Internet, and perceptions of the camera, etc.!

At that time, he was the most literary moment, and it is also the favorite movie made so far.

And it's different at the moment, even when "Jurassic World" was filmed!

What movies are Transformers and Jurassic World?

It's a commercial sci-fi movie!

Commercial science fiction movies must have the purity of commercial films, and those who can't get sick have to be literary and artistic, which will only be nondescript, specifically refer to "Wuji"!

At this point, Wang Meng feels that he is very good! I know the two sides of things, and I know what kind of work has what kind of style!

Just now, Jiang Wen came over to toast Wang Meng with three glasses of wine, and said to Wang Meng: "Brother, I took a very good shot, thank you!"

Jiang Wen is not stupid, he knows that his long shooting cycle and increasing costs have made DreamWorks very disgusted!

It was Wang Meng who suppressed everything and strongly supported him, which made him successfully completed!

Don't think that Jiang Wen is such a great director, you dare to find trouble as an investor, I love to shoot and shoot, it's a big deal that I won't do it!

By no means so!

Remember, when there is a conflict between the director and the producer, ninety percent of the people who bow their heads are the directors. The remaining 10% was resolved by both parties.

Even if he is Steven Spielberg, even if he is James Cameron, even if he is a national teacher and a small steel cannon......

It's all the same!

When you sign the contract, everything has already been decided, and if you overspend and exceed the shooting cycle, it will only be the director's fault, regardless of the investor's business, legally the director is wrong, so it can be imagined!

In addition, there are also the considerations of reputation and public opinion, I may have heard of directors who have conflicts with investors! However, how many directors have you seen who did not shoot halfway through?

That will be a well-known blow to the director's reputation, and it will also make other producers beat you as a director to the unnoticeable side! I don't like to work with such a director, which indicates that the director's career is over!

Of course, there must be those who change directors halfway, but they can't bear it, and the two parties really can't cooperate.

And this kind of director is generally a little-known and newcomer director.

It's possible for a big director to be a big director! Even if the producer is not afraid of trouble, the big director also cares about his reputation! So the general situation is that the director compromises!

This is a common problem of all countries in the world, and it is not just our country!

So after hearing Jiang Wen's words, Wang Meng was somewhat relieved, at least his kindness was known, and this was the harvest.

I can't do it myself, so let's help someone who is so persistent, right?

Good luck is a thought!

Besides, is DreamWorks afraid of losing money on a movie?

I'm really not afraid, the funds are too rich.

Others don't know, but many friends who are familiar with Wang Meng know, in addition to DreamWorks Film and Television Company, DreamWorks Summit Entertainment, Dream Chasing Video, Dream Special Effects, Dream Marvel, Dream Media, Wanhua Cinema Line, and Sunday Theme Park Shares...... And so on.

In the past few years, many of the Internet investments that Wang Meng invested in are now also powerful, almost more powerful than his worth on the surface!

After 2000, what companies can achieve the myth of capital?

Wang Meng doesn't know anything else, but he knows that the Internet is a dark horse that can't be bypassed?

In his previous life, he knew that Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu were all giants with a market value of more than $200 billion in the future. This is still the Big Three, and there are many other Internet industries with more than 10 billion yuan!

So, he had invested in the shares of these bulls a long time ago.

Although he never mentions or participates in it, his stake is not small at all.

Directing is his best career, and he won't give up.

But...... Give yourself an extra way back, it is the experience summed up by countless traversers, and as a lucky Wang Meng, he naturally knows it!

In short, there is no shortage of money, so I'm not afraid that Jiang Wen's movie will lose money!

……

At the finale dinner full of high-ranking guests, Wang Meng had an intimate exchange with a big name.

"Director Wang, I've worked with DreamWorks many times, when will we cooperate with each other!" Carina Lau raised her glass to Wang Meng with charming steps!

Indeed, since Di Renjie, Carina Lau has cooperated with DreamWorks, and since then, many of the investments and productions invested by DreamWorks have been starred by Carina Lau, and they can be regarded as acquaintances!

"Sister Jialing knows what routines my movies are!" Wang Meng smiled bitterly!

"Hehe!" Carina Lau laughed when she heard it!

"Yes, do you know? How many Chinese entertainment actresses can't sleep in depression?" Carina Lau teased.

Wang Meng's recent routine is obvious, except for Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing and others at the beginning. Since then, Wang Meng's commercial blockbusters are all male protagonists Chinese, female protagonists European and American.

This makes countless actresses who want to cooperate with Wang Meng extremely sad!

Even Wang Meng once saw a very funny report, which was said by Wang Meng's confidante Zhou Gongzi.

The title is - "Raising Funds to Beat Wang Meng!Wanghua Entertainment Actresses Sign Up to Participate!"

It was a very unintentional interview, and that day Zhou Gongzi was interviewed by a Chinese reporter and mentioned that Wang Meng had pushed her into the world.

Zhou Xun said in a low-key manner: "I really hope that Director Wang will praise me again, now my popularity has dropped significantly!"

The reporter asked: "You are a friend of Director Wang, presumably Director Wang will meet this request, right?"

Zhou Xun: "Don't mention it, now Director Wang only uses foreign actresses, and no matter how good we are in China, we don't need it, it's quite hateful!"

"What then?" the reporter asked!

Zhou Xun smiled: "So, I plan to hold an event called "Raising Funds to Beat Wang Meng, I Hope Chinese Entertainment Actresses Participate"!"

Just this joke, after being reported, became popular, netizens looked funny, so they reprinted it one after another, and it was very popular on the Internet during this time!

What's even funny is that some people put this report under the category of "Public Welfare Reports"!

After Wang Meng saw it, he was a little speechless!

Afterwards, there were really countless actresses who supported and participated, at first they were Wang Meng's acquaintances, and later famous and unknown actresses called one more flamboyant in order to be in the limelight!

Because, Wang Meng will not be angry!

Don't say yet: "Maybe it was seen by Director Wang?"

So......

Wang Meng sighed and said, "No way! This is for the overseas box office! Of course...... Doing this now doesn't mean that it will be like this forever, several male stars have gone to the world over the years, and when the time comes, I will come back and cooperate with some actresses, I don't want to be boycotted by all Chinese entertainment actresses!"

"Hehe!" Hearing Wang Meng say this, Carina Lau smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" At this time, Uncle Ge came over!

Liu Jialiang smiled and told Uncle Ge again.

After speaking, Uncle Ge sighed: "I haven't met even a male actor! Is it because our image is not good? Director Wang is afraid of embarrassing the Chinese people? Actually, Director Wang has to think about it, you see that there are many famous movie stars with bald heads abroad, right?"

"Uncle Ge, don't be kidding, I can't control your old one-step verbal kung fu, you look at so many people who have cooperated with you, I think Lao Feng knows you best! Besides, look at my movie? It's either an explosion or a speeding car action movie, your old heart can't stand it!" Wang Meng said with a smile.

"Alas!" Ge You was stunned for a moment, touched his bald head and smiled: "Feelings are not good for the body! You don't know! I watched Lin Xuejian and Chen Daoming in the hackers, and I was so envious! I feel that our old domestic actors also have the opportunity to show their faces in this kind of top-notch world-class science fiction film!"

"Haha!"

Uncle Ge is very humorous, this is God's appreciation of food, every move is so expressive, very against the sky.

Wang Meng and Carina Lau laughed!
