Chapter 376: Contrast
"Hello, may I ask who you are?" said a man in his forties. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Is it Mr. Marven?" asked Wang Meng.
"Yes, hello sir, are you looking for me?" As an agent, sometimes he will not only take the initiative to fight for roles for his artists. There will also be many people who are optimistic about their artists and take the initiative to contact.
So Marven is very polite.
"Is that Mr. Marvin, may I ask your artist, Mr. Lawrence Fishburne, has a recent film contract? I have a role here that is a good fit for Mr. Lawrence, oh yes, I'm Wang Meng, and Santa Monica's Summit Entertainment is my company. Wang Mengdao.
Ma Wen, who heard Wang Meng's introduction, was stunned, and he really didn't expect who Wang Meng was for a while.
However, after hearing about DreamWorks Summit Entertainment, which has been a little well-known recently, I immediately thought of who was calling me.
"Are you the director of "The Butterfly Effect", Wang?" asked Marven cautiously.
"Huh...... Yes Mr. Marvin, it's me. ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Mr. Wang, I was so surprised. Marven breathed a sigh of relief after confirming.
Not all actors are Tom Hanks, and not all actors are Little Plums.
For a black actor like Lawrence, there is no right to pick a good film, only the right to be chosen.
After all, he's not -- Morgan Freeman, nor -- Will Smith, the kind of black actor.
In addition, Wang Meng's recent "Painted Skin" and "Butterfly Effect" are a hit, so Marven was very happy to receive Wang Meng's call.
"Mr. Wang, you just said you wanted Lawrence Fishburne?" Marven asked cautiously after confirmation.
"Yes, Mr. Marvin, I have a role that suits Mr. Lawrence well. ”
"Oh, that's great, Mr. Lawrence doesn't have a film contract lately, it's completely negotiable. Marven said.
"That's great, Mr. Marven, I'll be going to Santa Monica's Summit Entertainment in five days, and you and Mr. Lawrence can go and read the script. ”
"Of course, of course, we'll be there. ”
Wang Meng knew that it would go well, but he didn't expect it to go so well, it seems that his reputation has a bit of a role, and said: "Okay, Mr. Marven, that's it, by the way, I hope you keep it secret for the time being, I don't want any other news." ”
"Of course, Mr. Wang, believe in my professionalism. ”
"That's great, goodbye Mr. Marvin. ”
"Goodbye. ”
After contacting, Wang Meng finally felt a little more at ease, and thought for a while that there was nothing missing.
Turning his head to see Jiang Shuying, who was still ignoring him, Wang Meng suddenly lifted Jiang Shuying's pajamas from the ****, and hugged Jiang Shuying with both hands...... (1000 words omitted).

As the flavor of the New Year slowly moves away, entertainment news has begun to occupy everyone's attention again.
"Yangtze River No. 7" has attracted much attention, but it has disappointed everyone, and the only director who can make excellent science fiction films in China is still Wang Meng. -- [A report].
"Yangtze River No. 7", which is a sci-fi comedy, is unlucky.
Wang Meng remembers that there were complaints from fans after disappointment in the original version, and this time it is even more powerful, with Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" creating a magic stream, "This Man is from the Earth" and "Butterfly Effect" creating a sci-fi stream. As a result, in terms of special effects, "Painted Skin" crushed "Yangtze River No. 7", and the plot is not level.
So......
"Stephen Chow, Jiang Lang is all talented, or Wang Meng is too demonic. When Xing Ye's "Yangtze River No. 7", which focuses on science fiction and comedy, has been sharpening his sword for four years, and it is long overdue, everyone is looking forward to it. However, when it came to the release, I was disappointed. Finally I found a problem. When watching movies, I can't help but compare "Yangtze River No. 7" with Wang Meng's works, and the more I compare, the more annoyed I become. As for the reason, everyone understands. So I was depressed, was it Wang Meng who raised my horizons, or did Xing Ye's movies decline. -- Netizen.
It seems that this year's star has an idea, and just after the New Year, it was quickly ridiculed by major media and netizens.
On February 13, the box office of "Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark", which was released for one month, reached more than 67 million. The three places of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, as well as some countries in Southeast Asia also contributed nearly 34 million results.
It is expected that there will be a month before the next painting, and now the total box office has exceeded 100 million, and in the next month, DreamWorks is expected to get a box office of more than 40 million, barely meeting expectations.
And "The Butterfly Effect", which was released for three weeks, is not pleasing to this kind of movie due to the Chinese New Year. Plus it's been three weeks.
So, three weeks later, "The Butterfly Effect" got 892 million yuan worldwide, close to 900 million. It is expected to be released worldwide for a month, reaching the expected 1.2 billion yuan, and even higher.
Although it has been released for more than a month, the debate and praise of "Butterfly Effect" by many fans are still very strong.
Some netizens even saw pity and sorrow, and I have to say that there are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people.
The article says:――
"By the time the ending of "The Butterfly Effect" was finally fully presented, the eyes were suddenly wet.
Although as the plot of the movie unfolds, you can already understand the bleak rhyme of the ending, but there is still an indescribable touch.
The evaluation of this film may have their own opinions in everyone's heart, but I still have to admit that this film is quite profound. "The Butterfly Effect" has been consuming my brain cells from beginning to end, and when I watch the movie, I naturally follow the ups and downs of the protagonist's fate and the transformation of cause and effect, trying to flash various possible final endings in my mind.
Wan Yu is a soulless person who travels through different time and space. Every time in order to change the current irretrievable ending, he is forced to return to the previous painful memories, and the dislocation of space is exchanged for another irreparable ending.
Some people get the happiness they expect in one ending, and some people make their previous good life disappear in another ending. The protagonist Wan Yu is struggling to find the true love he cares about, whether it is the misalignment of fictional ideas or the misalignment of reality, he is suffering from spiritual torture, so that the final disillusionment of the soul.
The special thing about "The Butterfly Effect" is that the ending is different in empathy-
If Wan Yu changed what he said at that time, if Wan Yu didn't do that at that time, if Wan Yu didn't exist in this world at all.
And all the ifs are unknown, even if we know the existing ending and change a new ending, there will still be many ifs, our minds can't influence the thoughts of others, and we can't randomly happen unknown plots.
Yasuo, who has a robot cat, hasn't made a mess of things every time. Life can't be flawless, and we can't re-enact a new story.
The ending may be full of flaws, but we can change our state of mind, look at the world in a different mood, and maybe find the beautiful ...... that we have long lost."
It seems that Wang Meng's "Butterfly Effect" and Xing Ye's "Yangtze River No. 7" have erected two versions.
One full of appreciation, one full of regrets.
And Wang Meng, after the New Year, rushed to the United States.
