Morning of September 7, DreamWorks Reception Hall.

In a few days, in order to compete for "You at the Same Table", nearly 60 actors gathered together. The popularity of DreamWorks and the appeal of Wang Meng are extraordinary.

The bustling crowd had both uneasiness and expectation in their eyes.

Many people regard this competition as a major turning point in their lives.

The path of an actor, or an artist, is never achieved overnight.

Not missing every opportunity is the only goal of newcomers.

After becoming famous, you can choose the role you want, or, if you feel that it doesn't fit your image, you can not play it.

And, even if the newcomer doesn't fit, you have to become compliant, and you don't know when you'll miss a transition.

Among the nearly ten roles in this competition, there are five or six people in each role, and everyone looks at the actors around them who are similar to their own images, and there is a thick fire in their eyes.

In this cooperation with Shangju, there are a lot fewer students, mainly because there are more crew members and internship crew departments.

In the past year, Wang Meng has been popular for many years for the younger generation, and these dramas are already very satisfied.

Moreover, the most demanded now are students who want to intern with the crew, and during the last time I struggled to shoot, there was a case where students gave their opinions in order to compete for places.

Therefore, this time the crew will also have interns from various departments, including interns from DreamWorks.

The filming of "You at the Same Table" this time needs to be traveled, Xiamen, the capital, New York, Philadelphia, China and Midi four cities, which spans a lot.

In the nineties of the last century, after all, nearly ten years have passed, and the original characters, costumes and shots need to be exquisite.

Although Wang Meng knew, the crew didn't know.

It is necessary to come up with reasonable evidence.

This film is one of the few youth memory films in this world, if you make it nondescript, everyone will see Mao's memory, and they will be scolded by Lei.

Therefore, this time, not only the costume department and makeup department of the drama should be exquisite, but even several professors of sociology and humanities studies at Fudan University were invited by Wang Meng.

Including in the play, what kind of resistance was caused by the bombing of the embassy, Midi 911, and the fear of people in the ** period at the beginning, etc. These need to be filled in with the rationale by professors in the relevant fields.

Wang Meng doesn't want his work to be flawed.

After all, after experiencing the butterfly effect, it is rebirth. Although it is 99% similar to the previous life, it is inevitable that it will be different, and this seemingly inconspicuous negligence is absolutely fatal.

In order to enrich the theory and research, or for the purpose of propaganda, Wang Meng's earlier relationship with Fudan University was used this time.

And Fudan University also expressed great interest, who doesn't like to apply what they have learned.

Even, the invited professor assigned homework to the students, trying to depict the humanistic style and psychological fluctuations of the nineties of the last century as theoretically as possible.

In the turbulent era of the 90s, the era of great changes, students were very interested in their own research and theories, which might appear in movies, and they enthusiastically invested in them.

This positive attitude was something Fudan University did not expect, so the university was very satisfied.

Besides, you can't let us waste our time in the research, right? DreamWorks spent 600,000 yuan on the investigation for this.

The production of movies is never simple, and all aspects and departments must be supplemented.

"How's the contact with Xiamen University?" Wang Meng asked the crew members in the office.

This outreach is still Fu Qiang, Fu Qiang has been tossing and turning around recently, and finally lived up to his mission, saying: "Xiamen University has contacted well, and we have also found a Chinese company in New York to be the filming location, and the capital has Yu Dong to help contact, basically there is no problem with the filming location." ”

"What about the review of the script?" Wang Meng asked.

"The script review will come down in three days at the latest, and Director Wang, you will have the results when you come back from Venice. Zhang Lantian replied.

"Well, that's good. Wang Meng said to Wang Peng again: "The crew's planning is almost the same. However, remember that you must do a good job in clothing, lighting, and makeup, and contact those professors at Fudan University more, and you must not change reality for the sake of looking good. A movie that evokes memories is not about looking at your beautiful costumes and images, but about the memories they had. This is important. ”

"Director Wang rest assured, those professors are very persistent, and we will be educated by them for half a day if we make any changes, saying that this is disrespectful to history, even if it was history ten years ago. Wang Peng smiled bitterly, obviously having suffered a loss.

He also said: "We don't need to keep an eye on it, they and the professional teachers of the set in the play will close it, and even change the button several times." Much more serious than we are. ”

"Haha......"

Everyone looked at Wang Peng's aggrieved appearance and smiled, they had seen the enthusiasm of that group of professors and teachers, and they were not allowed to have a trace of flaws.

"That's right. Now we are only ten years ago, and it will be even more troublesome to shoot costume films in the future. The audience in the future will not be easy to fool, especially in the Internet era, where all kinds of talents gather, but if you have a little flaw, you will be criticized for nothing. So...... Don't be afraid of trouble and try to be perfect. Wang Meng concluded.

"It's good, it's just that the cost is too big, and this hasn't been filmed yet, nearly two million are gone. Zhao Jisen sighed.

Don't look at it as a youth memory film, Wang Meng's requirements are very high, so the cost is not ordinarily large.

"I'm not afraid to spend money, what we want now is reputation, and it will be the same in the future, I don't want our works produced by DreamWorks to be criticized by others, if you want to do it, you can make high-quality products, only by forming our style, can we go further, cutting corners This thing, our company doesn't need." ”

After hearing this, Zhao Jisen nodded in understanding, and said: "It seems that the expected investment of 10 million is not enough, and at least 2 million follow-up funds are needed." We can say 18 million or even 20 million in our propaganda to the outside world. ”

Hearing so much capital investment, Wang Meng still twitched in his heart, this will cost more than 10 million, how much should be needed for future blockbusters?

"It's okay, 12 million is 12 million. Again, we can't be flawless, but we do our best to be flawless. ”

"Understood!" everyone nodded in unison.

There was a knock on ......the door.

Assistant Lu Jieshu came in and said, "Boss, managers, the actors are ready, you watch?"

"Okay, let's start the audition, Brother Peng, Brother Liu, Manager Zhang and Manager Wu will come with me. Wang Meng greeted him, and the four of them followed Wang Meng out of the office and into the hall.

In the hall, there was a commotion, and when everyone saw Wang Meng, there was silence for a moment.

"Thank you for your support to DreamWorks, to make a long story short, for all of you to come, all of us at DreamWorks are honored, and I hope you will show the best attitude and find a way for your life......

After speaking, ignoring the people in the circle, he said to the secretary Lan Shuzhen: "Let's start." ”
