Chapter 117: Wang Meng is busy
In the third week of May, Stone resisted the onslaught of "The Da Vinci Code", and after hitting more than 40 million at the box office in the first two weeks, it still cut 13.42 million in the third week.
In three weeks, Stone has won a box office of 55.48 million.
Of course, the decline is very strict, which is the result of the confrontation with "The Da Vinci Code".
"The Da Vinci Code" only took four days of the weekend and won nearly 30 million at the box office.
Moreover, this movie adapted from a world-renowned novel has many fans of the original book, and the quality is very good, so the word of mouth came out instantly.
The remaining weeks will be even more difficult for the stones.
For this alone, Wang Meng felt that he had nothing to be proud of, at least he knew that the final "Da Vinci Code" won more than 100 million box office in China.
ranked fourth in the mainland in 06, only after "The City is Full of Golden Armor", "Night Banquet", and "Huo Yuanjia".
So much so that Wang Meng didn't feel how proud the stone was.
However, Wang Meng thinks like this, and the media doesn't think like this.
The third week is still more than 10 million, what an achievement?
Besides, it's already the third week, and after the last two weeks of the hot first two weeks, such a result can already be proud.
Director, even if Wang Meng is not proud, the media are proud of him, which can be regarded as winning glory for the country. Therefore, the media did not hesitate to praise the stone.
"Another miracle road of small cost hard resistance to large system zuò. Wang Meng can always bring us miracles, maybe he himself is a miracle. Whether it's "This Man is from Earth" and "Harry Potter" fighting, or Stone and Leonardo da Vinci. Even if he lost, he lost the brilliance of the loss, and resisted the sweep of Hollywood's big production zuò at a small cost. ”
- A film critic.
"The author found that Wang Meng can be described by an object. What kind of object? Is it a stick? Why do you say that? Because, Wang Meng used the spirit of a stick to warn Hollywood blockbusters: -- Idea, your legs, don't want to sweep without moving. ”
-- A critic.
However, after this sentence was said, Wang Meng's fans were reluctant.
"You are the stick, your whole family is a stick, Brother Meng is a rock, okay?"
"I can't imagine how bad your writing is, can't you find the right words? What stick? Have you ever seen a stick like this?"
"Can you speak, even if Brother Meng is a stick, it is also a golden hoop stick in Wukong's hand"
"Brother Meng is a golden hoop stick that penetrates the sky, not a stick. ”
"The wishful golden hoop stick in the hand of the Great Sage is not a stick. ”
“……”
"I'm rubbing, why are you talking about the crooked building, isn't the golden hoop stick still a stick? ”
"Agree with the upstairs, don't digress from the back. ”
"Brother Meng is not a stick......"
“……”
There is a lot of irrigation on the Internet, and almost all of them are applauded.
And Wang Meng didn't continue to pay attention to these after learning about them, and the most important thing is to finish filming "Struggle" in front of him.
Actually, that's not all.
The continued popularity of "Bear Infested" and the big sale of "Transformers", Wang Zhiwei contacted Wang Meng by phone.
He also told Wang Meng that several publishing houses in Japan and Midi contacted him, hoping to act as an agent for the overseas sales of "Transformers".
Wang Meng was very concerned about this point, and by the way, he said his opinion.
Now Wang Meng's opinion is Wang Zhiwei's reference opinion, so he basically does what Wang Meng said.
Wang Meng said:
1. Only sell the serial copyright of overseas comics, and no one is allowed to sell film and television and other peripherals, especially film and television adaptations, which must not be abandoned.
2. Only accept the share, not the buyout, and the share is calculated according to the sales volume, and there is no fixed price.
3. Overseas publicity must ensure full publicity, and publicity funds must be signed in the contract. It is not possible to withhold the contracted publicity fee privately. And the publicity expenses they provide, and they nominally give a commission after getting a share of the sales. Of course, those are another story.
4. The setting shall not be changed in any form, unless Marvel agrees,
5,……
The general ten-point contract has taken many foreign publishers by surprise.
However, don't force it, you don't promise me to find someone else.
According to the ingenious setting and new concept of "Transformers", several publishers still voted for bidding.
After these were signed in accordance with Wang Meng's requirements, Wang Meng didn't care, and the film and television copyright in hand was absolute.
It's for the movie, and it's sad to sell the film and television copyright.
In terms of the cartoon "Bear Infested", long-term contracts have been signed with three satellite TVs.
In this way, Marvel animation can increase its firepower to create, and maybe it will continue to be created in the next few years. Just like in previous lives.
Even, Wang Zhiwei asked Wang Meng if he had any good ideas recently.
This made Wang Meng cry and laugh, and he became a creative machine.
In fact, Wang Meng's creativity is so much, but it is inappropriate to take it out now, let alone what to say on the phone.
I have to say that after filming "Struggle", I won't think about anything else now.
When Wang Zhiwei heard it, he felt that it was right, he couldn't disturb his son's TV series, this was his son's second work, and he couldn't be sloppy.
So even though I was itching, I couldn't help it, and I will talk about it after filming "Struggle".
And, a few days ago, Yu Dong also called.
The popularity of the stone, Yu Dong also aimed overseas, and after telling Wang Meng about the plan, he had already begun to implement it.
Wang Meng is not optimistic, the stone is in line with Chinese taste, but it does not meet foreign taste, even if it is released, there is not much reception.
However, no matter how small the mosquito is, it still has meat, and Wang Menglai does not refuse to make money. and arranged for Zhang Lantian to follow up, learn from Yu Dong, and accumulate experience for his overseas distribution in the future.
Zhang Lantian said that he must study hard, since the stone became popular. In the company, Wang Meng's status rose instantly, and this is the authority erected by strength.
Wang Meng felt this and was speeding up according to his plan.
Jia Zhangke also called and said that the script was almost over, and he would take it to Wang Meng in a few days to take a look, which Wang Meng expressed concern.
After all, a Golden Lion Award for Best Picture is beckoning, and it is not allowed to let go.
After these trivial matters, there was another person who reported good news to Wang Meng.
Marvel Animation's Ji Fei said that there has been a big improvement in technology recently, so Wang Meng has time to take a look.
The progress of special effects technology is something Wang Meng did not expect, which can be regarded as a surprise. Said to Jifei - I will definitely go and see it after a while.
The messy trivial matters made Wang Meng worry for a while.
A secretary, Lan Shuzhen, obviously can't cope with it.
So, find Zhao Jisen and ask him to find an experienced assistant for himself.
After Zhao Jisen received the notice, he said to Wang Meng that he had paid attention to this aspect and said that he would reply to Wang Meng in a few days.
After finishing the chores, Wang Meng put all his thoughts on "Struggle......
