"Hey, have you heard? That Wang Meng is famous again. ”

"I've heard for a long time, isn't it going to make a movie? I heard that I have received strong support from the directing department. ”

"I heard that Wang Meng has a relationship with Director Lu of the directing department, hehe...... You know?"

"No, that Wang Meng is like this, he looks very good. ”

"You know Jiang Shuying from the acting department, right? It's a very beautiful one, I heard that it's Wang Meng's girlfriend, this Jiang Shuying is really blind, what am I worse than Wang Meng?"

"But Wang Meng is indeed very talented, that "Bear Infested" is his creativity, plus people have money in the family, it is normal to find a beautiful girlfriend......"

"And, maybe his parents deliberately fulfilled their son!"

…………

Gossip and all kinds of mandatory brain supplements quickly spread on campus......

In fact, Wang Meng also expected that he would become popular, but he still got the support of the whole director's department.

As for the surprise mentioned by Director Lu, it really stimulated Wang Meng a lot.

When Wang Menglai Lao Lu discussed actors......

After serious consideration, Director Lu and the others not only supported Wang Meng's shooting plan, but also felt that DV shooting had no face, or that it ruined a good movie.

So I decided to shoot with a handing in paper. And from the school's Young Directors Foundation, 500,000 yuan was taken out to support. After the precise calculation of Wang Meng and others, this small-budget movie needs a budget of 800,000 yuan.

As for the rest of the funds, Wang Meng needs to consider it himself.

Wang Meng also has a general plan, the equipment and scenes required for the whole movie are very simple, even if there are few opportunities to pull advertising sponsorship.

It is nothing more than the sponsorship of cars, wine, mobile phones, etc., which can give the sponsor a few close-up shots, and finally selected the German Volkswagen located in Shanghai.

With the support of the entire director department, Volkswagen is also very concerned, and after finalizing a few necessary close-ups, Volkswagen decided to invest 200,000 yuan.

Although the Germans are very strict, Daniel Serp, president of Volkswagen in China, thinks it is very good after reading the script, after all, Wang Meng's propaganda slogan is very high.

"The world's first soft sci-fi film, China's first sci-fi film. ”

This sounds very lofty, no.

The remaining 100,000, 50,000 at Moutai Distillery, this is a must-have in the movie. 30,000 is from the China Cigarette Factory, and it also takes three seconds to close-up. The remaining 20,000 sides are Huawei mobile phones, which are used by the protagonist to call his students, a few seconds of footage.

Although there is the support of the director department, it took Wang Meng a week to complete these tasks.

And, whether it is props, lighting, makeup, etc., it is all sponsored by the students and teachers who go to the theater for free.

The problem side of the site is a small villa with a beautiful view not far away.

The actor in the film originally dreamed of playing it himself, but he gave up after seeing Director Lu attach so much importance to it.

Besides, the actor has to look mature.

After all, I want to play a middle-aged man in his forties.

What's more, Wang Meng knows that the fame of this movie is not the actors in it, but the excitement of the script.

Wang Meng hadn't heard of the actor of "This Man is from Earth" in the previous life anyway. However, the director of this film has been praised for many years.

There are many opportunities, and it is very important to be a director for the first time.

And Director Lu recommended several actors to Wang Meng, among which the protagonists asked Wang Meng if he thought Ren Quan was suitable or Lu Yi was suitable?

Wang Meng was shocked when he heard it, this Nima can't afford it. But Director Lu said that they are all students who graduated from their own schools, and this scene will not take ten days, just give 20,000 or 30,000.

In the end, the two agreed that the male protagonist was Ren Quan.

On this day......

"Director Lu, how do you see the heroine of the central ceremonial actor using Li Bingbing, the two of them have worked together in many plays, I think it's very suitable. ”

Li Bingbing in 05 is not so popular, and this world is the same, and Ren Quan and Li Bingbing are recognized as a screen couple, Wang Meng thought to himself that since he wants to be bigger, he should be willful.

Director Lu seems to be thinking about it as well.

After thinking for a while, he said, "I think it's okay, and she's also a student of our school." ”

Wang Meng suddenly felt a little excited.

"What do you think of Zhao Youliang, that psychiatrist?" said Director Lu.

Wang Meng was dumbfounded when he heard it, Zhao Youliang filmed his first movie "My Ten Classmates" in 1979, and then played the leading role in "The Death of Qiubai", not to mention the wonderful performances in dramas such as "Stormy Waves" and "Blood Romance", and he is also a national model worker, advanced worker and other achievements.

However, although he is old, he is not very famous, and he is currently working as a special assistant coach in the theater, so it seems possible.

"As long as you keep saying you can. Wang Meng smiled: "Some time ago, I also met Mr. Zhao in the crew of "Wrong Love for a Life", I think it is very suitable, after all, the psychiatrist can be said to be an important role in addition to the protagonist. ”

"Then it's settled. ”

"Also, I contacted Pan Hong, who is a female racist, and she said she was very interested, you can keep this role. ”

"That Pan Hong?" Wang Meng was stunned.

"It's that Pan Hong. ”

Wang Meng didn't want to say anything anymore, he should have guessed correctly that he was born in Shanghai on November 4, 1954, a performance artist, and the first Chinese artist to appear in Time Magazine.

From 1983 to 1994, she won four Golden Rooster Awards (three Best Actress Awards, one Golden Rooster Award Special Award), three Golden Phoenix Awards and three Little Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress,[2] one Hundred Flowers Award, Huabiao Award, Shanghai Film Critics Award and China Changchun Film Festival, as well as many domestic and foreign Best Actress awards such as Damascus International Film Festival and Taormina International Film Festival in Italy.

"Yes, of course, but you know the budget. ”

"Go to the side, people are scarce of your money, Zhao Youliang and Pan Hong said that they are all friendship performances, it can be regarded as giving me face, you just mean it afterwards. ”

Wang Meng knew that Lao Lu owed a lot of favors for this movie. In fact, this old man is quite cute, just for the sake of a student, it can be said that he has worked hard.

Sometimes Wang Meng is also very strange, why other protagonists often encounter some bloody plots, and someone always comes up to slap his face.

And whether it's the elders or friends I meet, I don't have that kind of brain-dead. Maybe it's because I'm still in school, maybe it's a different world when I get out of this campus.

Wang Meng thought for a while, in fact, he was already very satisfied with such a lineup.

"Director Lu, what about the rest of the historians, professors, biology professors, and archaeology professors?

These roles also require acting skills, but they are not the most brilliant.

"I've also helped you contact these guys, all of them are teachers over fifty years old in our school, don't be famous, and your acting skills are absolutely not to say. Director Lu looked very confident, and said: "As for the archaeologist's little girlfriend and the relocation workers of the two welfare homes, you can just find them yourself, is this also the right to be a director?" ”

It is indeed the right to be a director, although Lao Lu arranged seventy percent of the actors, which is a sign of failure for the director.

But ~~ Wang Meng doesn't think so. These actors, according to the current Wang Meng, feel that they can't afford to be invited, not only a matter of popularity, but also the most realistic money problem.

"Okay, I know in my heart, they are all students from our school, and I will contact them. ”

"You look at it, go and get busy, it's not easy to be a director, especially a director like you, who has nothing...... boy, go through it slowly, and if you experience more, you will succeed......

Wang Meng said very firmly: "Don't worry, I won't let you down......"

After being agreed, the problem of the actor was largely solved:

Actor Ren Quan. The heroine Li Bingbing, the psychiatrist Zhao Youliang, the racist Pan Hong, the biologist and drama teacher Hu Jinqiang, the historian and the drama teacher Yu Chen, and the archaeologist and the opera teacher Ma Jianguo......
