Filming is expected to be completed in early April.

Perhaps it was destined, Wang Meng saw that the wife candidate Ning Hao was looking for was still Roland in his previous life.

The arrival of the producer was warmly welcomed by everyone.

In addition, Wang Meng is the biggest actor in this film, and his popularity and status are equal.

"Hello Mr. Xu. I'm sorry for everyone. ”

Wang Meng looked at Xu Zheng, with a bright head, and a unique sense of humor that was the same as in his previous life.

Who would have thought that six years later, this now inconspicuous bald head would become the director and starring of the 1.2 billion box office.

Not to mention that it has continued to create a miracle in 15 years, and the box office of 1.6 billion is impressive.

Xu Zheng said politely: "Director Wang, don't call it that, Ning Hao and I are good friends, just call me Lao Xu or Brother Xu, it's too obvious to call the teacher, I admire Director Wang very much, especially the "This Man is from the Earth", which can be said to have created a precedent for Chinese films." ”

Wang Meng was not polite, and simply called Brother Xu, which seemed a little casual.

"Brother Xu hasn't thought about making a movie?"

Wang Meng knew that Xu Zheng would soon be a director and shoot a TV series "Li Wei as an Official".

Moreover, it has received a lot of praise.

Xu Zheng said: "I have a plan, I will shoot a TV series first to practice my skills, and I don't dare to blindly go on the movie, just like Director Wang." I heard that after the filming of "Crazy Stone" was completed, you went to shoot a TV series. I'm the same as you think, the movie is deep, take your time. ”

Wang Meng knew Xu Zheng's plans, but "Thai Embarrassment" in his previous life was too money-grabbing.

So I thought, let's test it first and see if there is an opportunity to cooperate.

If you really can't do it, you can make it yourself, and it's not good for others to be cheap.

"I have the same idea as Brother Xu, and I don't dare to go to the movie rashly, so I will practice my skills with TV series first. This time, the reason why he played the role in the stone was because he came to steal the teacher with Brother Ning. Hehe......" Wang Meng said.

Seeing that the two were chatting speculatively, Ning Hao walked over and said, "What are you discussing?" Looks like we had a great time, huh? ”

The two laughed, and Wang Meng opened his mouth and said, "I'm talking about stealing the teacher with Brother Ning, Brother Ning is not good at hiding it privately!" ”

Ning Hao, who said it, smiled and teased: "You are the boss, I don't dare, haha......"

After chatting for a while, Ning Hao and Wang Meng discussed tomorrow's press conference.

"Director Wang, although I have made a few movies. But I have no experience in starting a press conference, and I'm afraid that tomorrow will not be good, and you will have to help take care of it tomorrow. ”

Although Ning Hao has made several movies, none of them have attracted attention.

Now, there are more than a dozen reporters who want to attend the start-up press conference, and there is a certain amount of nervousness.

"It's okay, tomorrow there will be assistant director Wang Peng to preside, he has experience. When the time comes, it will avoid some contradictory problems for you. Besides, most of the reporters are hired by us, so you won't be embarrassed. It's those uninvited reporters, and I'll just deal with it when the time comes. ”

After Wang Meng finished saying this, Ning Hao was relieved, at least Wang Meng helped to bear it.

What did Wang Meng think of again......

Then he said: "Brother Ning, you should pay attention tomorrow, some reporters may ask me first, and even ask me more questions than you, don't show your displeasure." These people are like this, when I was filming "This Man~", I suffered a lot of bird anger, do you have to be a little prepared? ”

Ning Hao knew this and had seen it.

Reporters will go to people who have topics, although they are not happy, but they can't help it.

"Director Wang, don't worry, I understand. Actually, I wish they didn't ask me, then I would feel at ease, at least not make mistakes. Ning Hao said with a smile.

Wang Meng was stunned after hearing this......

I thought, there really is such a person, I want to be a director, as for what you think of me, I don't care.

This is much purer than himself, and he seems to want both fame and achievement.

It seems too greedy......

……

The next day, the area around the Luohan Temple was simply arranged.

Yes, nearly twenty reporters are already waiting, which is better than Wang Meng expected.

I invited a dozen, and I came a dozen or so myself.

Most of the newspapers in the mountain town are local newspapers, and some newspapers with some ideas.

In the background, Wang Meng and others were preparing.

Seeing the cramped Chen Chichi, Li Jinming and others, they sighed a little, they were also so uneasy last time, and people always have to take the first step.

So he comforted: "The three of you should ask Brother Xu Bo and others for acting skills, several old brothers are actors who love to bring newcomers, don't miss the opportunity because you are embarrassed." ”

The three of them nodded hurriedly.

Huang Bo said: "Hi! What kind of acting, I myself am very blind, but it is good to ask Lao Xu for advice. ”

Everyone believes what he said, but only Wang Meng doesn't believe it.

Nima, I know that you are an actor in later generations, or a nationally recognized acting powerhouse, but no one knows now.

Xu Zheng smiled and said: "Actually, fate, I am also in the play, they are all junior brothers and sisters, as long as there is a problem, just come to me, I will not keep it." ”

After hearing this, the three of them hurriedly said that they were troublesome to Mr. Xu.

After chatting for a while, it began.

Wang Peng first introduced the general theme of the movie, and said in a flowery way - he is optimistic about the prospect and confident in the box office......

Until the reporter asked.

As expected, the first person to ask the question was Wang Meng.

"May I ask Director Wang, where do you think the biggest buying point of this film is? What do you think is the success of the film? Finally, how did you decide to appear in this film? The reporter said.

As soon as I heard this, I paid for it, and I have already begun to say where is the success of the movie?

Wang Meng replied: "The biggest buying point is the novel subject matter, a kind of black humor that is different from China. Add a good script, a group of good actors, and a director with a good level, and I think this has the ingredients for success......"

"As for? Why should I be involved? I think everybody has a dream of being an actor, our life is like a script, we play different roles, I just want to try to change the role. Besides, such an excellent movie, I am very willing to participate in it myself. ”

Wang Meng's answer praised the actors, script, and director, but there was no real material.

"May I ask Director Wang, you keep saying that this movie is very exciting, how are you sure?" The reporter said.

After Wang Meng heard this, he said in his heart; If you don't say that the movie is wonderful, can you say that the movie is rubbish?

In fact, this movie is indeed very exciting, the highlight of the Chinese film industry in 06, you don't know!

But he replied: "As I just said, a good script, a good actor, and a good director, we make movies with our hearts, not for fun." So I can't think of any possibility of failure. ”

This sentence surprised everyone, is this a mouthpiece? So confident? Ning Hao and several leading actors were also surprised, and said in their hearts; Director Wang didn't dare to say this, if the audience was not satisfied, we would be finished.

"Director Wang, may I ask ......?"

"Director Wang?"

For a while, the reporter was a little interested, Wang Meng said a lot, regardless of whether he spends money or not, it will always be good to get some good news.

"Okay, okay, I'm done answering my question, let's interview the director and actors of this film more, they are today's topic."

Wang Meng stopped the excited reporters and pushed the topic to Ning Hao, Guo Tao and others.

The reporter saw that Wang Meng didn't say anything, although he was unwilling, but he was helpless, he couldn't force him to say it, this is not good, and now his status is different.

I had to ask Ning Hao:

"May I ask Director Ning, you used to shoot some literary and artistic movies, and you also won a lot of awards, what made you change your mind and want to shoot a commercial comedy?"

Ning Hao replied:

"Actually, there is no reason, I shoot when I have a good idea, and I have never defined myself as a director who only shoots literary films. Just like Director Wang said just now, we all have dreams of being actors. …… I can't be an actor...... So, I tried all kinds of plots, and although it wasn't a performance experience, it was a planned experience, which was very meaningful......"

"Director Ning, can you predict the box office?"

As soon as these words came out, Ning Hao was embarrassed, how should he answer this?

Wang Meng saw Ning Hao's entanglement and quickly took over the question.

"Of course, the higher the box office, the better, Director Ning is not a god, if you can guess this, Director Ning will buy a lottery ticket, and he will have to work hard to be a director."

"Haha......"

Everyone laughed at what they said, only the reporter was a little unwilling, and the problem was mixed up.

In fact, Wang Meng was thinking, should he also learn from the predecessors in the novel and prophesy?

But gave up. It's too fake, it's too stupid, it's too funny, it's impossible to guarantee that anything can happen, at least rebirth happens.

Subsequently......

The reporters then asked everyone present, and there was no big mistake.

It's just that......

A few wanted to make some lace on Li Jinming, but Wang Meng pushed them back.

"What an unspoken rule, we are classmates, plus the role is suitable, that's all......"
