The Spring Festival of '08 came very quickly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Along with the two works that are still in theaters, "Butterfly Effect" and "Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark", it is also accompanied by the shock of DreamWorks' announcement of the project "Kung Fu Panda".

The DreamWorks summary meeting at the end of the year became a feast for the company.

The media is very powerful, more professional than the finance department of DreamWorks, and the box office of nearly 5 billion this year makes every employee of DreamWorks very happy.

"This year is a year of victory, a year of stride, under the leadership of Director Wang, DreamWorks ......" summary meeting, Zhao Jisen made a final speech.

"Of course, next year is still a crucial year, and we must overcome difficulties and not be afraid of them...... I believe that the mainland box office champion in '08 still belongs to our dream factory. ”

Whoa......

After Zhao Jisen spoke, everyone responded with warm applause.

At the box office of China's top ten major film companies this year, DreamWorks ranked first with a revenue of nearly 5 billion yuan, surpassing Huayi in second place by much.

"Next, please tell Director Wang. ”

There was thunderous applause again.

Wang Meng said affectionately, "As Mr. Zhao said, this year's success is inseparable from everyone's efforts, and we have improved in all aspects this year, and I am very satisfied." But...... Don't be proud, we still have a long way to go, and next year will still be a crucial year.

Including in the next few years, we still can't slack off, we have built the throne, we must keep the throne, and even build the throne more brilliantly, do you have confidence?" Wang Meng said.

"Yes!"

"There must be. ”

Everyone said firmly, everyone knows that only a strong headquarters exists, and they can be more brilliant as the branches of the company.

"That's good, to be honest, as the media said, two years ago we were unknown, a small and insignificant company. And now, no one should underestimate us. Two years of hard work are inseparable from the efforts being made. The purpose of our company is to only make high-quality products, and our thoughts are the condensation of dreams......"

Wang Meng made another encouraging speech, saying that everyone's blood was boiling.

……

After that, I briefly studied the works that are currently being approved, the works that will be approved, and the works that are currently being filmed.

"Director Wang, I can prepare almost in March, and I can start the project at that time. You said that the name of "The Shining", I think it is okay, it is expected to be filmed in more than a month, and it is expected to be released in May. After that, I will hurry up the filming of "Saw 3", which will be released in Europe and the United States on Halloween this year. I'll avoid the Olympics in August. Liu Zhiyuan said.

Everyone knows Liu Zhiyuan's works, as well as his new works, and Comrade Liu will have two horror films to be released next year.

But horror movies are very simple, and the shooting is simple, so there is plenty of time.

With the advent of two Chainsaw horrors, the company now attaches great importance to this kind of horror film, because such films, with little investment, short time, and large profits, have almost become a cash cow.

"That's good, I don't care about you, just do it. Wang Meng was relieved of Liu Zhiyuan.

is not a newcomer anymore, he has already completed the production of two horror films alone, and Wang Meng has confidence in him.

"Brother Peng, what about that?" Wang Meng asked.

After Wang Peng heard Wang Meng's inquiry, he immediately straightened his waist and said: "Director Wang, "Step by Step" is expected to be completed by the end of March and is expected to be broadcast in May. After that, I will pay close attention to the production of "Love Apartment 2", and it is expected that "Love Apartment 2" will be broadcast in September. I don't have any plans for the future, so I want to see the reaction of these two parts. ”

Now in terms of TV dramas, almost Wang Peng is in charge.

Although he also hopes to be a film director, his mind has not been so active recently, and he said to Wang Meng some time ago that he hopes to continue to accumulate for two years, and he likes the filming of TV series as much.

Wang Meng has no opinion, it just so happens that in terms of TV series, DreamWorks is very short of directors, except for investment and joint venture TV series, only Wang Peng is filming in DreamWorks alone.

Wang Meng's plan is to find two more TV series directors, and the TV series are also very profitable.

And the company has received a lot of scripts, so it's a pity not to shoot them.

Wang Meng nodded and said, "It's okay, you can do these two things well this year, and then study them later." ”

After speaking, he asked the special effects side of the dream: "Where are you?"

Zhu Chengzhi, who realized his dream, said: "Director Wang, there was a lot of controversy after the recent announcement of the project of "Kung Fu Panda", and the response was very enthusiastic. Hey!"

Zhu Chengzhi sighed as he spoke, and then said: "However, Director Wang, you know that the production cycle of this kind of cartoon is too long, and it is expected that we will not have much noise this year, and we are a little stressed if we only hope that it will be successfully completed next year." ”

Zhu Chengzhi's words represent the voice of the entire dream.

Can such a large investment be stress-free?

At present, DreamWorks' biggest investment, even if Wang Mengfang said that it has a box office of 700 million US dollars.

But!

After all, it's a statement, not a real get.

Therefore, although it has been announced, the project has been established, and it has been prepared for half a month, it is still very nervous.

Wang Meng understood everyone's mood and said: "Pressure is also motivation, I believe you can do it, and didn't you find a few Hollywood assistant directors and crew members? They all have a lot of experience, you can discuss it, there is no shortage of time, it depends on whether you dare and whether you have confidence?"

Wang Meng's agitation method made everyone blush.

A group of people who realized their dreams of special effects, Gu Gaoyi took the lead and said, "Director Wang, we are confident that we can do it well." ”

"Hehe......" Wang Meng smiled: "That's good." ”

Turning his head to look at Ning Hao, who was at ease with the old god, he said, "Does Director Ning have a plan?"

"Uh...... Call me?"

Ning Hao was stunned, obviously a little blindsided. After thinking about it for a while, he said: "Director Wang, I have a plan, but you know my work, I need to think about it, I can't do it as quickly as Director Wang." ”

Ning Hao's production speed is a normal speed, and it is even much faster than Stephen Chow's four-year work.

But it's far worse than Wang Meng's gang, Wang Meng's two works almost every year, and they are both big productions, which can't be compared.

Of course, there is another one who is slow, Wu Ershan, who has decided to shoot the movie "Ghost Blows the Lantern".

Some time ago, Wu Ershan said to Wang Meng that filming is expected to start in July 08, and now he is thinking about the script and the layout of the movie.

This made Wang Meng very painful, what is there to ponder.

However, Wang Meng did not write the script himself, and he had already passed the stage where he had to participate in everything, and now he had to let go, and he wanted to give these directors the greatest freedom and let them overcome it by themselves.

Otherwise, it's never a good idea to do it yourself.

Therefore, Wang Meng has been almost in a free-range policy recently, regardless of whether he asks, it all depends on the efforts of everyone.

Wang Meng believes that these guys in the previous life got ahead, and they will definitely be able to do it in this life. Besides, a healthy company doesn't do everything yourself.

So, I nodded and didn't care.

This year, there is also Xu Zheng's "All the Way" to be filmed, as well as Tsui Hark's "Di Renjie".

As for the rest, not for the time being, but as long as there is an opportunity to have a good script, DreamWorks will not miss it.

And some time ago, the Screenwriters Association had already come up with the first three scripts of the "Xu Xiake" series, Wang Meng took a look, it was very old-fashioned, and it belonged to the kind of domestic five-cent drama film.

Wang Meng called back, and gave a few suggestions according to his own ideas.

The Screenwriters Association attaches great importance to it, and now Wang Meng is a miracle in the screenwriting industry, he said that if the script is not good, it is not good, and it is not good.

Therefore, the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Association started a new revision according to Wang Mengshuo's suggestion, and strived to come up with a script that Wang Meng was satisfied with in the middle of the year. As long as it is done well, Wang Meng promised them - he will be the director himself.

This commitment made the group of people in the Screenwriters Guild more enthusiastic, according to the president of the Screenwriters Guild. There are many screenwriters who don't plan to spend this year, just for Wang Meng's promise and for a good script.

In this regard, Wang Meng is very pleased.
