In the evening, "Painted Skin" held a grand finale banquet. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Nearly 200 actors and crew members were present, and a group of reporters who got the news also rushed to the scene.

The finale press conference was held just in time.

At half past five in the afternoon, a five-star hotel in the magic capital was crowded with people, a group of reporters who rushed to tell each other that "Painted Skin" was finished, and there were many people who did not know the truth.

Since the horror storm of "Chainsaw" swept the world, domestic fan media have given a great sense of expectation to Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" himself.

Especially in order to promote the needs of the crew of "Painted Skin", the videos and stills that are constantly released, each video and stills, the quality of the picture and the excitement of the content, are full of expectations.

Many people don't think enough, even if "Painted Skin" can't reach the fame of "Saw Horror", it shouldn't be bad at the box office.

Otherwise. I'm sorry for Wang Meng's investment.

In the previous life, "Painted Skin 2" was $120 million worldwide, which is no less than "Chainsaw" in this life.

Wang Meng's request is that the global box office must be at least 200 million US dollars, otherwise it will be a failure.

Not to mention, the special effects investment this time is greater than that of the previous life, and the popularity of this life is not comparable to the previous life, not to mention the changed plot, which can be seen by fans around the world.

All of this, Wang Meng is very confident in his heart, "Painted Skin" will be another new height of Chinese Chinese films.

Domestically, we must pull the big ship off the horse, I don't believe that such a quality will not meet expectations.

In the previous life, this year's China Entertainment mainland total box office champion was Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly Number", which reached a box office of 250 million.

The assembly number is indeed very good, and the main theme is also very distinct, but his "Painted Skin" does not lose it, and it will be better than it.

Even if you can't pull off the big boat, you have to reach a box office of more than 300 million yuan.

At present, in China, 300 million yuan is a peak.

"The City Full of Golden Armor" currently has the highest box office, reaching 291 million yuan.

Wang Meng is scheduled to exceed 300 million, which is not very difficult to complete.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, the crew of "Painted Skin" arrived at the scene.

For a while, the photo talk continued, and as the magic capital of DreamWorks, a series of arrangements were easy to do.

After the reporters started interviewing, the initial question was still Wang Meng.

"Director Wang, "Painted Skin" is finished, is the expected release time in September determined?"

"This can be determined, the post-production is mainly special effects. If our special effects are not prepared in advance, the special effects will take at least 4 months, that is, they will be released at least at the end of the year. Fortunately, our special effects have been following up, and it is expected that it will take another month and a half to complete, during which the post-editing, dubbing, and copying will also follow, and the release in September can be booked. Of course, as for mid-September or late September, we expect mid-September at the earliest. ”

"Director Wang, the filming of "Painted Skin" has been completed, has the result you wanted?"

"Hehe......" Wang Meng said with a smile: "There is no doubt about this, not only met my expectations, but also progressed, which is inseparable from the efforts of the entire crew, so I would like to thank all the staff of the crew of "Painted Skin". ”

"Will Director Wang's "Painted Skin" be released worldwide? Is it the same period?" the reporter asked.

Wang Meng has also done an investigation on this point recently. At present, there is no problem with global releases, but it is impossible to release them globally simultaneously, at most they can be released simultaneously in Asia.

Europe and the United States need to be one to two weeks late.

After all, DreamWorks doesn't have the energy to be globally synchronized.

"This global release is certain, but it can't be synchronized with the global release, and the Asian side may be synchronized. Europe and the United States, including Oceania and other regions, need one to two weeks at night, the details have not yet been clarified, we will tell you after it is clear. ”

"Director Wang, with an investment of 100 million yuan, can you tell me about the main highlights?"

After hearing this, Wang Meng waved his hand and said: "This reporter asked the wrong question, not an investment of 100 million." Previously, I obviously underestimated the financial investment of "Painted Skin", and I had little experience in making a big production for the first time. Therefore...... investment in "Painted Skin" is not 100 million yuan. ”

"Director Wang, do you mean to say, high or low?" The reporter was very interested, and suddenly made a big discovery.

"It's low. I also officially announce here that the investment in "Painted Skin" will reach 200 million yuan!"

！！！

"Wow!"

"Two hundred million!"

"I heard you right, 200 million!"

“……”

"Director Wang, can you introduce me?" said a reporter who quickly came to his senses.

Not to mention the reporters, even the staff present were shocked.

knew that there had been a shortage of funds for painting skins, and also knew that Wang Meng had predicted that the capital investment was low.

Even...... Everyone was still anxious for a while.

However, with the 40 million yuan of "Love Apartment" and the 190 million yuan of "Chainsaw", everyone is not worried.

Now, Wang Meng said that with an investment of 200 million yuan, the staff are all circled, but he didn't expect it to be so much.

"Yes! The 100 million yuan at the beginning of the "Painted Skin" issue is our production cost. However, during the filming, we found that there was a serious shortage, so we added more than 30 million. This amounted to nearly 140 million yuan. And we expect that the publicity cost of "Painted Skin" will reach 60 million to be promoted around the world. ”

"60 million publicity?"

"Won't it?"

"How much does it cost to complete the production of a movie, and the publicity of "Painted Skin" is 60 million?"

Everyone was blindfolded again, obviously they couldn't understand what Wang Meng said.

"Everyone knows Chainsaw, right?" Wang Meng asked ignoring the stunned reporter.

"Yes. "Journalists.

"In fact, everyone only saw the high box office of "Chainsaw", but the publicity expenditure of "Chainsaw" has spent nearly 60 million investment, a good publicity is very heavy for the movie, and finally everyone has seen the box office of "Chainsaw". ”

As soon as Wang Meng said this, everyone understood, so it was.

"So Director Wang?" "Chainsaw" invested less than 3 million, but nearly 60 million was spent on publicity, why is "Painted Skin" so large, and the publicity cost is so small compared with "Chainsaw"?" the reporter asked.

"Thanks to Saw and all the people at Saw Horror. Everyone knows that whenever the version of "Chainsaw" released overseas is released, there is the promotion of "Painted Skin" at the end.

This saved us at least tens of millions of publicity. In addition, my reputation has saved a lot for "Painted Skin" through "Chainsaw", not to mention the reputation of DreamWorks.

Therefore, I would like to thank "Saw Horror" for opening up the market for us, so that our company has been loved by overseas filmmakers, and they are also willing to do their part in the cooperation of "Painted Skin". After all, everyone earns money together, and I think foreign theaters and distributors will not miss it. ”

Wang Meng said.

Actually, it is.

It is the openness of "Saw Horror" that has brought a lot to DreamWorks, which is box office revenue on the surface, but its influence and popularity cannot be underestimated, which is a hidden wealth.

With that said, the reporters and staff will understand.

I thought: It seems that I still underestimated "Saw Horror"!

But?

It seems that there is a sense of routine, it seems that the appearance of "Chainsaw" is just right, and it suddenly opened up the popularity of DreamWorks and Wang Meng, which seems to be arranged?

Many people can't help but have such thoughts......

It is worth mentioning that this is Wang Meng's plan.

The appearance of "Saw Horror" is indeed to open the way for "Painted Skin", and it is also to make the name of DreamWorks.

Wang dreamed of making a big sci-fi scene to open the way.

But!

But if that's the case, the investment is too big, and it will make money, but it can't make as much as this big production should be.

"Chainsaw" is different, millions of investments, losses are losses.

If the results are good, then there is more publicity within the controllable range, which was the case in Asia at the beginning.

If the box office in the mainland is high, it will be promoted in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and if the box office in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan is also high, it will continue to be promoted in Asia, and Asia will make money again, so it will start to spend money on publicity in Europe and the United States.

That's it, take it one step at a time, be cautious, and don't make mistakes.

This is the way of publicity for "Saw", and it is also the way for "Saw" to go to the world little by little and cause a storm of terror.

Just like now, Saw opened the way for DreamWorks and Painted Skin. As for Wang Meng, he didn't expect it to take advantage of this.

Therefore, when Wang Meng said this, everyone understood.

The shock is there, think about it and feel that DreamWorks is in the routine, but the routine is good because it succeeded.

Afterwards......

The reporter interviewed the cast and crew about the problem of "Painted Skin", as well as some of the main originals.

At night!

The crew, who had worked hard for more than four months, drank openly, with all kinds of relief and laughter, and some even burst into tears.

["Director Wang, what you said this afternoon touched me deeply, according to what you said, maybe I can still be popular in the world, maybe not as good as Zhou Xun, but it is better than I expected. When I first received your invitation, I thought that at most China would pay attention to it, even if it was outrageous, it would be Asia.

Now, my expectations are too short-sighted, and it's incredible that DreamWorks has changed in just six months. I didn't expect that the movie I starred in was going to be released worldwide, it was really released worldwide, not the kind of self-deception that I had before, really, thank you Director Wang for giving me this opportunity. ”】

Zhao Wei, who was a little drunk, said to Wang Meng.

Wang Meng raised his glass and touched her and said, "I still want to thank you for your support?" As for the good or bad grades, it's hard to say, now I'm more looking forward to it than you, and I'm more nervous, hehe......

"Anyway, thanks to Director Wang, I have learned a lot from Director Wang. Zhao Wei shook her head and said.

"It's over. Wang Mengdao.

After saying that, the two who complimented each other were a little silent.

Zhao Wei thought for a while and said, "Director Wang, do you think it's okay for me to be a director too?"

As soon as Zhao Wei asked, Wang Meng was interested, it seems that Zhao Wei in the previous life went to study directing during this time, and a few years later, he also filmed Virgo "To Youth".

"Yes, you look at Lao Xu is good. Wang Mengdao.

"That old Xu?"

"Oh, Xu Jinglei, I'm used to calling her Old Xu. ”

"Hehe, Director Wang calls Zhou Xun and Zhou Gongzi, and Xu Jinglei is called Lao Xu, so what do I call him?"

"They don't care about my nonsense, it's out of the low-level fun. Wang Meng said with a smile.

"Then I'm naïve, I don't care, Director Wang must say one. ”

Belch......

Wang Meng was stunned, and he really didn't know what to call it for a while, but it seemed that Zhao Wei was confused and always made mistakes. Intentional or unintentional, Wang Meng doesn't know.

"It's called old paste. ”

Zhao Wei was stunned for a moment and asked, "That hu?"

"Confused paste, confused mush. ”

"Is there a saying?" Zhao Wei asked.

Wang Meng smiled: "No." It's just that sometimes I don't know if you're really confused or fake. ”

After Zhao Wei heard this, she was stunned for a while!

"Haha......" Zhao Wei smiled and said, "Yes, you will be called like this in the future." ”
