Come to DreamWorks Wang Meng's office.

After the secretary Lan Shuzhen ordered a pot of tea, she went out to entertain Tsui Hark's assistant and agent.

"Director Wang, it's an eye-opener, I didn't expect the special effects to be so professional. Moreover, Director Wang also pays attention to the introduction of talents and the cultivation of talents, and he is indeed attentive, and it seems that the plans that Director Wang said are easier to implement. Tsui Hark sat on the sofa and said to Wang Meng.

"It's not as good as Director Xu said, it's just a matter of preparing in advance. Special effects are actually simple and simple, the key is to have enough money. Right now, on this small scale, I have invested almost 30 million yuan, and a mid-range production movie can't cost so much money. Wang Meng sighed.

This is not a lie, it does cost a lot.

"This is what I admire, dare to be an ordinary person, this is not an ordinary person." Tsui Hark said.

"Huh...... It's also a kind of hobby. Wang Meng smiled, and was no longer modest.

"Director Wang, are you ready for the script of the "Di Renjie" series we are talking about?" Tsui Hark is starting to get to the point.

"Director Xu rest assured, I have already written two plans, one is "Di Renjie - Tongtian Empire", and the other is "Di Renjie - Shendu Dragon King", as for the other sequences, I haven't thought about it yet. After all, you know a lot, I want to shoot two first, and see how the market is reflecting. Wang Meng replied.

Then he beckoned to his assistant Lu Jieshu: "Xiao Lu, bring the two scripts that were prepared a few days ago." ”

After a while, Lu Jieshu brought Wang Meng's "Di Renjie" two series.

Tsui Hark took the script and began to read it, Wang Meng didn't squeak, and waited in a gang.

After about ten minutes of reading it, Tsui Hark actually finished reading it, in fact, it was the outline, and Wang Meng didn't get the specific dialogue and storyboards, he was too busy recently and didn't have time. So Tsui Hark saw it quickly.

After reading it, Tsui Hark was very satisfied, and nodded frequently: "Yes, Director Wang has done a very good job, with the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the suspense of the plot, and the mysterious Chinese legend." In this way, the plot is complete, and the audience can appreciate the suspense in the script while enjoying the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, which is very good. Tsui Hark said with satisfaction.

I thought of many situations before I came, one is that Wang Meng only has a general plan, and the script is not yet. The second is that even if there is a script, it is better to say.

But at this moment, Tsui Hark found that he still didn't think deeply enough, Wang Meng is also a believer, and he said he would do it.

The script is perfectly portrayed, nothing more than some dialogue and action design that need to be added, and this is simple.

It's like a poem with a word spectrum, just waiting to be filled. Moreover, there are a few golden sentences in this poem, and it is good to keep the golden sentences plus the remaining blanks.

As for the action design, Wang Meng didn't get it, this is not good at it, Tsui Hark is an expert, even if Wang Meng knew about the version of the previous life, it would be difficult to get it out, and it would make people suspicious.

Isn't it stupid for you to get this right now?

"Director Xu is satisfied. Of course, this is the direction and outline of the plot I set, Director Xu can take a look, if you have an idea, it is better to follow your main principle. ”

"No, you're fine with this. I can still see it from my years of experience. Now, it's nothing more than dialogue and narration, as well as the design of some actions. As for the costumes and props, those that are designed by professionals and the director have already completed the pre-script work, which is very good. ”

After saying that, Tsui Hark put down the script, a little embarrassed.

Wang Meng found out and asked, "What's the matter, Director Xu, what do you say?" ”。

"It's such a Wang Dao, I'm embarrassed." Tsui Hark opened his mouth and said: "When we agreed at the beginning, I really didn't expect Director Wang to come up with such a script so quickly, I thought it would take a long time, and this time it was tentative." ”

"But! Director Wang's script has been completed for eight years, and it will take more than ten days at most, and it is not difficult to complete the entire script. I really didn't expect that...... So ......"

As soon as Tsui Hark said this, Wang Meng knew, it was nothing more than that Tsui Hark thought it was a long-term plan, and he couldn't spare time to shoot at the moment, especially this year, so it was difficult to do it.

"Director Xu, I won't tell you anything, I want to apologize too." Wang Mengdao.

"Oh, what's wrong with Director Wang?" Tsui Hark was stunned for a moment, and thought: - I won't need to do without me, but even if I don't need to, I really don't have time this year.

"Director Xu should have heard that there are a lot of plans for DreamWorks this year, plus the acquisition of Dream Chasing Video and Dream Special Effects Company, the funds are a bit overturned, and there is no way to set up the project "Di Renjie" this year, if Director Xu doesn't mind, we can take our time, and we can set up the project next year at most."

When Wang Meng said this, Tsui Hark was stunned and laughed again.

The disc dragged out his concerns

"Don't hide it, I was relieved when Director Wang said this. To be honest, my plan for 07 years is also full, and I won't be able to find time until 08 years, so Director Wang must understand that such a big production must understand that it can't be completed in a short time, and it requires full dedication. Director Wang's words just now can be regarded as saying that I am in my heart. ”

"Hehe......"

"Haha......"

After saying that, both of them laughed, and it seemed that they had indeed spoken to each other's hearts.

"That's the best, in this way, Director Xu can find time to complete the script, and I can participate when I have time, so we are more prepared." Wang Meng said with a smile.

"Well, that's good, it doesn't get any better than that."

The two made up their minds like this, and Wang Meng copied a copy of the script and handed it to Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark can just take the time to complete the script, and if Wang Meng has a good idea, he can also fill it, presumably the script written with the wisdom of the two will only be better than the previous life.

After chatting for a while, Wang Meng said to Xu Xu: "Director Xu, can you introduce a martial arts instructor in Hong Kong, my "Painted Skin" still lacks a martial arts finger. ”

"Oh!" Tsui Hark was stunned for a moment and asked, "What style?" ”

"Hard bridge hard horse, "Painted Skin" I still want to be released in the United States and Europe, foreigners like hard bridge hard version."

"I have an old fellow, although he is not too good at the hard bridge hard version, but he can't be wrong, if Director Wang thinks it is feasible, let me introduce it to you?"

"You say."

"It's Cheng Xiaodong. Start with Danger of the First Kind. We've worked together many times. The fantasy martial arts film "New Shu Mountain Swordsman", the drama film "Sword and Horse", the action film "The True Colors of Heroes 2", and later "New Dragon Gate Inn" and "Smiling Proud Jianghu" and so on. There is a big span in between, and he can complete it satisfactorily, if Director Wang agrees, I can contact him now. ”

Wang Meng was very satisfied when he heard it, he had already heard of Cheng Xiaodong, and even Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was his martial arts instructor. And Cheng Xiaodong has too many works, almost innumerable, although he is not as famous as Yuan Heping, but he is not worse than him.

"Very good, I'm looking forward to cooperating with Mr. Cheng Xiaodong, then please Director Xu. Mr. Cheng has any opinions, as long as it is within my acceptable range, I will agree to try any ideas he has. Wang Mengdao.

By the way, I said what I wanted, nothing more than to say that it was okay to find him, but what my director's authority and what I said, he had to listen.

Wang Meng knows a lot of secrets of martial arts, and there are many people who don't listen to the director, especially this famous martial arts finger in Hong Kong, and he is still a young man.

"At this point, Director Wang is relieved not to give you face, that is, he does not give me face, I promoted him back then, this is no problem. Besides, Xiao Cheng has no shortage of skills and talents, but he can be a man and know the rules. Tsui Hark said.

"That's good, thank you Director Xu."

"Hey, little thing, I'll call later."

After about ten minutes, Xu Ke said: "It's done, he will come to the magic capital in a few days, and Director Wang can talk to him at that time." ”

"Well, then it's better to settle down as soon as possible, and I can also settle the actors and receive simple training for a period of time." Wang Mengdao.

This is very important, you need to run in with the martial arts instructor, and you also need to consult with the martial arts instructor.

Generally, there are fight scenes, and the actors have to train and prepare in advance, unless they are action actors, the kind that can be used quickly.

Tsui Hark took it for a day in the magic capital, and after discussing the script with Wang Meng, it was already evening, and Wang Meng entertained him.

The next day. Tsui Hark is busy, Wang Meng is also busy, and Tsui Hark returned to Hong Kong with the script.

And Wang Meng also began to formally interview the scheduled actors of "Painted Skin", and a series of staff.

However, the news of the release of "You Sitting Together" in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia has returned.

The release situation in these places is not as good as in China, so although the subject matter is fresh, but each country has its own national conditions, and if you can resonate in China, it will be different abroad.

can only say that a good-looking Chinese film, in addition to Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the results of Southeast Asia and Japan are not good.

The only surprise was that it received a lot of attention in South Korea.

Especially the handsome guys and beauties with the simple and warm plot, Korean fans like it very much.

In the first week of overseas release, South Korea's box office reached more than 7 million yuan, and even if Japan was not popular, it won more than 9 million yuan despite its high base.

The six Southeast Asian countries only won more than 7 million yuan in total.

Taiwan is very good, just like "The Girl We Chased in Those Years" is very popular, winning more than 14 million yuan, which is a surprise.

Hong Kong and Macao jointly won more than 6 million yuan.

In this comprehensive week, "You at the Same Table" has cut a total of 37.25 million yuan overseas, as well as in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

According to the 18% share, the overseas "You at the Same Table" brought nearly 7 million income to DreamWorks in a week, and Wang Meng estimated that the entire overseas plus Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, it is still possible to have a net income of 20 million when painting.

In this way, if "You at the Table" is counted at the mainland box office and the surrounding areas, it can bring at least nearly 70 million revenue to DreamWorks. The big head is still domestic.

As for the media overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, they just briefly reported on "You at the Same Table".

The most reported area is also Taiwan, and it is still the title of the best newcomer at the Golden Horse Awards.

"The faint memory of "You at the Same Table" swept Taiwan, and its director, starring and producer, Wang Meng, the winner of the Best Newcomer Award at the 43rd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards, ......

――[A newspaper in Taiwan]

""You at the Same Table" can't go back, the warmth is coming, a history of China's changes, a romantic love story."

――[A Korean newspaper]

"The immortal melody of youth, the youth of the Chinese film "You at the Same Table" is coming."
