On September 12th, it was already one o'clock in the morning when I returned to the magic capital.

Due to secrecy, there were no reporters mobbing the scene.

Wang Meng was frightened by the last experience, this time he was extra cautious, and because of time, there were no reporters this time.

When I got home, it was almost two o'clock in the morning.

Even if Wang Meng's physical factors are very strong, he almost can't bear it.

The next day, September 13, when Wang Meng woke up, there were all four members of the family.

Wang Zhiwei, Lv Man, Wang Tian and Jiang Shuying. Jiang Shuying is more conscientious than Wang Meng, and often comes to Wang Meng's house, and the family has long been surprised.

After breakfast, I came to DreamWorks, and because of my participation in the Venice International Film Festival, "You at the Same Table" was temporarily stopped.

Of course, it was Wang Meng who paused, Wang Peng and the others did not, and they were all preparing.

Including the preparation of the venue, the contact of personnel, the scheduling of equipment and so on.

Come to the office.

"Director Wang, what do you think will happen to the Q&A held the day after tomorrow? This can't be avoided, we won the Golden Lion Award for Best Film in Venice, reporters are interviewed, and there are many national newspapers and media. Zhao Jisen asked.

Wang Meng knew before that such a thing would never be avoided.

Not to mention winning the Golden Lion Award, just talking about his actions in Venice, how could the reporter let it go.

As for what Zhao Jisen said, the national interview is of an exclusive nature, and this must be attended.

Moreover, many TV talk shows are frequently invited, and Wang Meng selectively participates in a few.

When Jia Zhangke came back to participate together, it was also to promote the domestic release of "The Good Man of the Three Gorges".

In addition, "You at the Same Table" is ready and can not be delayed any longer, Wang Meng decided to hold it together, and the start-up press conference and the Golden Lion special interview were carried out together, which was convenient for publicity.

Wang Meng asked: "How is the preparation of "You at the Same Table", has the scheduling of the actors been connected with the venue?" ”

Zhao Jisen nodded and said: "It's all ready, it's that little actor Jiang Jinfu who is a little troublesome, but it's done, the little guy is very persistent, I heard that he wants to rely on the play, this is the reason why Director Wang." ”

Wang Meng was stunned when he heard this, knowing that Jiang Jinfu would apply for the drama in the future, and he would be selected with excellent results.

I didn't expect that this time it would be my own sake, so I smiled and didn't speak.

Instead, he talked about the topic of filming: "The press conference the day after tomorrow will be held together with "You at the Same Table", and I will take the opportunity to release "You at the Same Table". ”

"Is that good? It doesn't seem informal. Zhao Jisen asked.

Wang Meng waved his hand and said: "What's not official, we release "You at the Same Table" to save face. As for the interview with the Golden Lion, what do you think will be a good question, it is nothing more than how are we? Why did I do that at the time? Or let me talk about the future of Chinese cinema. ”

When Wang Meng said this, everyone was very embarrassed, and they all knew that in fact, the interview was useless, and it was a celebrity effect.

Wang Meng said again: "Actually, that's it, what topics are hot and what they hype, it's better to take the opportunity to promote "You at the Same Table", too lazy to waste effort." If it weren't for the fact that it was a process that had to be taken, I wouldn't have bothered to participate in it. ”

What Wang Meng said is quite similar to that thing, not that he came back from Venice to force his qualifications.

Instead, he saw his own shortcomings and the direction he wanted to work towards, and more importantly, the cruelty of the entertainment industry, which once again refreshed Wang Meng's cognition.

From the beginning of the red carpet, no one paid attention to it, Doe Allen's persecution, and Dao later slapped his own face.

The Venice International Film Festival taught Wang Meng a lesson with a movie-like bridge.

I am still a little seedling, and I am still a pawn in the truth, and I am far from a real international star.

Now the only thing to be serious about is to shoot each work well and look forward step by step.

"Okay, according to what you said, I'll contact reporters and actors later, and strive to release it together the day after tomorrow." Zhao Jisen said.

After speaking, Wang Meng motioned for a few people to go out, it's okay.

But a few people didn't seem to want to leave, and looked at Wang Meng with enthusiastic eyes.

"Is there anything else you guys do?" Wang Meng asked.

"Hehe......" Wang Peng asked: "Director Wang, where is the Golden Lion Trophy?" Let's see. ”

"Yes, Director Wang, haven't we seen each other yet? Look at it. ”

After hearing this, Wang Meng understood, it turned out that he was looking at the trophy, which was not to blame them, he had seen enough, they hadn't seen it yet.

"I said it earlier, I forgot if you didn't say it." Wang Meng picked up a box, opened it and took out a golden lion with two wings.

"I'll go, that's it, I'll touch it." Wang Peng.

"It's not pure gold." Liu Kai.

"Don't break it, our honor room is still waiting for it." Zhao Jisen.

For this trophy, several people completely abandoned their reserve, this thing may not necessarily get a second one in their life, who doesn't like it.

Moreover, this is not the trophy of the International Film Festival for College Students, this is the Golden Lion Award, the highest international awards, this is the dream of every filmmaker.

"When, if I can get such a trophy, I will be satisfied in this life." Wang Peng looked at the Golden Lion Trophy with a sigh and said melancholy.

"This thing, I will be satisfied if I get one, after so many years, there are only a few in our country, and getting one is an honor for a lifetime." Ning Hao accosted.

Both of them are directors, so it is particularly important to watch the trophy.

Wang Meng remembered the Huabiao Award. Question: "I heard that we have been shortlisted for this year's Huabiao Award "Crazy Stone" and "This Man is from Earth"? Aren't Ning Hao and I also shortlisted? ”

After hearing this, Ning Hao said: "What is shortlisted, we have already won the award, how can this Huabiao Award be shortlisted or not, if you are selected, you will win the award." However, an award is either a double yellow egg or four yellows, or even five yellows, how can it be as important as a golden lion. ”

After hearing this, Wang Meng understood that Huabiao was not nominated, but whoever nominated was awarded, and he just went to receive the award when the time came.

This belongs to the domestic characteristic, if you say you can do it, you can do it, and if you can't do it, you can do it.

"Director Ning, you said it easily, no matter what the award, just win it, and winning the award means that you are one of the few among thousands of peers. What else are you not happy about? I don't know when I'm going to win the award? Wang Peng said a little down.

Wang Meng heard Wang Peng's thoughts, and it seemed that he also wanted to be a director himself.

During the filming of "Struggle", Wang Meng said that in the future, he would arrange for him to be the director of the work.

Although I didn't say it just now to blackmail myself, I was also saying-[Director Wang, don't forget me.] 】

This time, "You at the Same Table" Wang Peng is the assistant director again, and he has already followed

Wang Meng knows that this is enterprising, besides, who doesn't want to be a director in the director industry?

So Wang Meng said: "Brother Peng, don't worry, finish "You at the Same Table" with me, I'll give you a script next year, how about you get it?" ”

Originally, Wang Meng's expectation of Wang Peng was the director, but now it's almost the same, just to give him some hope.

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Peng heard it: "Really? ”

Wang Meng smiled and said, "Of course." The scene and chamber drama are called "Love Apartment", the story of a small apartment, the story of a group of young people, simple and easy to learn, specially arranged for you, like "Wulin Gaiden". ”

"It's amazing, Director Wang has made it for you, Brother Peng's good luck." Ning Hao said.

Seeing that Wang Peng is a little blindsided, and besides, he is also very greedy, can Wang Meng's script be wrong?

Ning Hao has not had a script since the stone, but he didn't dare to do it casually, for fear of ruining his hard-won reputation, so he was very cautious.

Wang Meng said again: 'Director Ning, don't worry, I also have your share, we make money, we can't do it without investment, I have also thought about your script, and you will be there next year." “

Due to the overseas sales of "Struggle" plus "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" and "This Man", the recent DreamWorks is not short of money.

In addition to Wang Meng's plan, the rest must also have investment.

It just so happened that the sequel was brought out for Ning Hao, and it only appeared in 08 in the province.

And the sequel is "Crazy Racing"
