Chapter 396: You can't be too pretentious

On the evening of April 26, 2008, the closing ceremony and award ceremony of the 15th Beijing University Student Film Festival was held. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoA total of 23 awards were presented that night.

The well-known films shortlisted this time include "The Assembly", "Painted Skin", "Butterfly Effect", "Casting Names", "Yangtze River No. 7", "Shambhala Messenger" and other films.

At last year's awards ceremony, Wang Meng did not attend due to personal reasons.

This year, I came with two well-known films from the world, "Painted Skin" and "The Butterfly Effect".

Many media have speculated that this year's film festival will be Wang Meng's film festival.

DreamWorks is even more immense this time, after all, there are so many nominations, plus other nominations, and the influence of today's DreamWorks can be seen from the awards.

"Director Wang, how is the filming of "The Matrix" going, is it going well?" the reporter asked.

"It's going well, everything is going according to plan, thank you all for your concern. ”

"Director Wang, what do you think of your response to South Korea's director Kim Zhiyun some time ago, as well as the response of Korean online games. "Journalists.

At the scene, when Wang Meng arrived, reporters rushed to interview, and in an instant, Wang Meng's appeal was vividly displayed.

The security guards at the scene, the nervous defender Wang Meng's safety, were sweating profusely.

"What they say, how can I answer? But since I agreed to their request, I will definitely live up to the expectations of the fans, and I will definitely not disappoint everyone. Wang Mengdao.

After saying that, the reporters laughed.

Especially Wang Meng's sentence is what they said, how can I answer?

This is obviously disdainful of the answers of Koreans and some netizens.

"Director Wang, your two new songs have been loved by many fans, do you have any goals for developing in music?"

Wang Meng said: "No, it's purely emotional, and the inspiration came and I wrote two songs." Again, I've always been a director. I think that the most important thing to be a director is to make a good film, and as for music, it is purely out of interest. ”

"Director Wang, Time magazine's interview with you made us see a very inspirational story, do you have any intention of publishing a book?"

Wang Meng, who asked this sentence, was stunned for a moment, and said, "No, why do you ask that?"

The reporter said: "Director Wang, many publishing houses have revealed that they want to write a novel based on your story and publish it, and some film and television companies have said that they want to adapt it into a film and television work based on your personal life.

Wang Meng was strange when he heard it, and he hadn't heard of it himself.

"No, I said that my dream only began, the future is still far away, and I don't want this now. Also, I wouldn't give them permission to adapt my story. ”

"Wang Dao ......"

"Wang ......"

"Okay, fellow journalists, I'm leaving, and I'll talk about it when I have time. ”

Wang Meng saw that the reporter still wanted to ask, but when he saw that the time was almost up, he relied on the security personnel to squeeze out a way.

As soon as he walked into the hall of the awards ceremony, Feng Xiaogang came to the door with a 'grudge'.

"You said you kid was mixed up with Hollywood, why are you here to mix with us? My "Assembly" originally wanted to win a best director, but you are choking enough. Feng Xiaogang said.

"Okay, you'll be cheaper and sell well. Yours is the main theme, or has been on the news network, the best director is almost your meal, and I came to win the most popular director award. Wang Mengbai glanced at Feng Xiaogang, who was cheap and well-behaved.

"Do you think so too?" Feng Xiaogang asked as he licked his face and seemed puzzled?

"Shame on you. Wang Meng looked at this guy like that and ignored him.

"Hehe......"

"With that said, it seems like I'm a little hopeful. Hehe......" Feng Xiaogang touched his head and said with big teeth.

When they came to the director's meeting place, Chen Kexin, Stephen Chow, Wang Xiaoshuai, Yu Zhong and others greeted Wang Meng one after another.

After sitting down, Xing Ye asked, "Director Wang, has your special effects company been busy lately?"

Wang Meng was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "It's very busy." ”

"When are you free?" asked Stephen Chow.

Wang Meng's head turned, and he thought of "Journey to the West", and said: "It's fine next year, and we will all be together this year." There will be expansion next year, and it will be fine next year. ”

"Oh. After hearing this, Xing Ye didn't speak.

Wang Meng smiled, thinking to himself - I know what you think, and you are still pretending to me here, it's boring. You can't be too ......

The two were silent, and Chen Kexin walked over.

"Director Wang, can our plan be implemented? How about the second half of the year? I heard that DreamWorks has been busy recently?" asked Chen Kexin.

"That's it. Wang Meng nodded.

What are you talking about? The two know that it is nothing more than the "Xu Xiake" series.

"By the way, have you read the script I gave you some time ago?" asked Wang Meng.

Some time ago, the Screenwriters Association wrote the script of the "Xu Xiake" trilogy, Wang Meng was not satisfied after reading it, and after putting forward his own opinions, he rejected it.

However, he showed the first draft to Chen Kexin.

"I read it, it's very good, it's worthy of the efforts of the Screenwriters Association, no less than the top scripts, and the settings are also very good?" Chen Kexin was very satisfied, so he was in a hurry now.

"Don't worry, I didn't agree, I dismissed it. They said they would give a better script in June. Wang Mengdao.

"Oh!?" Chen Kexin was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Are you not satisfied with this?"

"How can you say it......" Wang Meng sighed: "To tell the truth Director Chen, this "Xu Xiake" has placed a lot of thought on me, and it is even more important than my "Matrix", I can't be cautious?"

Wang Meng said very seriously, which made Chen Kexin a little incomprehensible.

In fact, the "Xu Xiake" series is original in the sense of Wang Meng, not a movie that steals his previous life.

The reason why it was handed over to Chen Kexin to make it was said that Wang Meng was very timid. He was afraid of failure, and he was afraid that he would be hit after failure.

Therefore, Chen Kexin was given the opportunity to try like this.

If "Xu Xiake" succeeds, Wang Meng will not be afraid at that time.

And the meaning is important.

Even if you leave the work of your previous life, you can still create your own work.

It's a bit pretentious to say, a bit pretentious.

Wang Dream is not just by stealing the original, but also by creating it himself.

Whether it's an ambition or hypocrisy, he doesn't admit it anyway, and he can't be a king's dream.

"How is it significant?" asked Chen Kexin, who held back for a while, still not thinking about it.

"Ugh!"

Wang Meng was speechless for a while, not knowing how to answer.

I had to say: "In short, it is very meaningful, I am very relieved to Director Chen, and I will do my best to support it." He turned around and asked, "Tell me about your plan?"

"...... my plan?" Chen Kexin thought for a while and said, "Since you said that there will be a better script in June, then I'll wait a minute." If only it were as you said. I plan to spend a few months reading through the script, inspecting the shooting environment and some things that need attention, and it is expected that the project will be officially launched in October 08, and it should be completed in June of 09, right? At least, the script you gave me, I think it will take at least seven or eight months. ”

"It's a long time. Wang Meng muttered.

But you can't be in a hurry, and you can't be in a hurry, not to mention that it's significant.

"Okay, you can rest assured, I guarantee that the script in June will be better than the previous one and more acceptable to the world. As for the time, I'll leave it to you, maybe if I'm okay in October, I'll go to your crew to learn. ”

"That's great!" Chen Kexin said. "Don't say it, I'm not worried about anything else, but I really don't have experience in special effects, and it would be great if you kept an eye on the special effects for me when the time came. ”

"I'll just talk about it, it also depends on the time. ”

"Don't worry about this for now, you must help me keep an eye on ......"

"Okay, I'll try to ......"

The two chatted for a while, and the awards of the film festival began.
