Chapter 248: Two Scripts (One Update)
On the first Sunday of February 07, it happened to be the beginning of spring.
"You at the Same Table", which has been in theaters for 45 days, will be painted tomorrow, and after a six-and-a-half-week journey, "You at the Same Table" has hit a total box office of 117 million yuan in the mainland.
According to the 35% share, DreamWorks relied on "You at the Same Table" this time, and just in terms of the domestic box office, it got a net income of 41 million, minus the cost of 14 million, and still won 27 million income.
The tax collection is only 100,000,000, and 25 million net income is a must.
The following TV broadcasts, distribution of peripheral DVDs, and website broadcasts are all net revenues.
Not to mention the benefits after becoming popular, Tang Yan and others.
DreamWorks' reputation has also improved considerably, and this is all an invisible benefit.
And just like that, in the end......
"You at the Same Table" moved forward bravely and ranked third at the mainland box office this year.
The National Teacher's "The City Full of Golden Armor", relying on the total box office of 291 million yuan in the mainland, refreshed another record for domestic films.
The box office champion of his own "Hero" of 220 million yuan in mainland domestic films was broken by himself, which is somewhat of a master's loneliness.
But......
still has not entered the 300 million mark, nor has it pulled the big ship "Titanic" off the horse.
James Cameron, this mountain, is still a shame in the Chinese film industry, and many directors hate him to the core.
But Kashen may be one that all directors in the world hate very much!
At present, in half of the countries in the world, he ranks first at the box office, and the directors who want to kill him may account for eighty percent of all directors in the world.
Whereas...... The most frightening thing is that Kashen seems to be working on a cross-era blockbuster, which is said to have been in the works for almost two years, and it will take at least two years to complete it, and it is rumored that the investment in this film has reached nearly $400 million.
If Wang Meng's prediction is not bad and the butterfly effect has not been fulfilled, Kashen will now get this blockbuster, which is "Avatar".
It is also known as a blockbuster of the Flood Monster, which swept the world and dropped more than $2.7 billion, the first real 3D/IMAX movie.
In fact, I was a little scared when I thought of this Wang Meng, when a year or two later, the domestic director finally used 400 million yuan to pull the big boat off the horse, and it didn't take long for "Avatar" to come, and directly pulled the box office to more than 1 billion yuan.
This is the real master loneliness.
At that time, the Chinese director must have been disheartened, but fortunately, Xu Zheng was born, and it took a few years to rewrite the box office to more than 1.2 billion yuan.
Since then, China's domestic films have officially risen, and they are not afraid of Hollywood's sweep, "Monster Hunt" alone is 2.4 billion yuan, not to mention the 3.3 billion yuan of "Mermaid", which is nearly 3.4 billion yuan.
But it will be ten years later, and Wang Meng can't afford to wait.
Now we have to work hard and strive to use "Painted Skin" to pull "Titanic" off the horse. When the card god's flood beast-level blockbuster comes, he will also come up with a confrontation, so that the card god will dominate Wang Meng......
The overseas box office continues to come with good news, and so far, the net income from overseas has reached 12 million at the box office. The total box office is nearly 50 million.
and Wang Meng's estimate is good, there is still a month of overseas release time, and another net income of 8 million, and the total overseas box office will reach more than 70 million, which must still be feasible......
Whereas......
Recently, Wang Meng spent almost half of his time learning action scenes under the guidance of Cheng Xiaodong, and his excellent physical fitness impressed Cheng Xiaodong.
And his memory can be called a demon, as long as Cheng Xiaodong has pointed out, Wang Meng can almost remember it.
In addition, he can also express his own views from time to time, and it is not an exaggeration to make progress by leaps and bounds.
Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei may have had such training before, and the two of them did not have many fighting scenes, so their training has also improved.
Feng Shaofeng, who ended the filming of "Deep Night", successfully signed a contract with DreamWorks. Now, he is training with Wang Meng and his party, Feng Shaofeng has a bit of a foundation before, so he learns very quickly.
Liu Shishi is also there, the girl has dancing skills, and her body flexibility is very good, and she is often praised by Cheng Xiaodong.
However, the poetry girl began to be very unable to let go, and she seemed very cramped, and after a long time of slow contact, her big silly and sweet personality was revealed.
The demonic laughter often scared Wang Meng and the others.
And this girl, her naΓ―ve personality is very likable, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei are very good to her, which makes Sun Jing, the agent who is also very arrogant, very happy.
However, Feng Shaofeng was very cautious and low-key.
On this day......
Wang Meng came to the training place to see the progress, and he was far away......
"Haha......"
There was a burst of demonic laughter, Wang Meng knew that it was Liu Shishi as soon as she heard it, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei thought that the girl was very good, so they often joked and often made Liu Shishi laugh.
Especially when Wang Meng is not there.
Outside the door of the training room, there are Liu Shishi's agents, as well as the assistants of Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and others.
"Director Wang"
"Boss. β
Seeing Wang Meng coming, everyone hurriedly stood up and said hello.
"Well, sit down, don't be so polite. Wang Meng said to everyone. He turned his head to Sun Jing and said, "Little Sun, you and Shishi are really a perfect match, your two personalities are really similar." β
After speaking, Sun Jing, who didn't care about blushing, walked into the training room.
"Hah...... Ah, Director Wang is here. Liu Shishi was chatting with Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun, chatting energetically, and she was about to laugh when she saw Wang Meng coming, and she held back.
"Liu Shishi, if you are louder, all the demons have heard it, and you have brought Zhou Gongzi and Sister Zhao badly, and you have been listening to you stupidly all day long. Wang Meng glared at Liu Shishi.
Sometimes if you don't say a word to this girl, she will forget everything and need to be beaten often.
The blushing Liu Shishi saw Wang Meng glaring at herself, and even rolled her eyes, she knew Wang Meng during this time, don't look at Wang Meng sometimes being angry with her, but it's all fake, it's nothing more than showing - "He is the boss".
Liu Shishi thinks so?
Wang Meng was indeed not angry, but told her to concentrate.
After speaking, I said hello to Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, and went to find Cheng Xiaodong.
"And, if you talk about me all day long, I can't laugh anymore. Seeing that Wang Meng was gone, Liu Shishi also muttered.
Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun got used to it, glanced at each other, smiled bitterly, and felt helpless about the good luck of this stupid girl.
Looking back on my past, how could I not have encountered such a good thing.
"Shishi, you are so lucky to meet such a good boss!" Zhao Wei sighed.
She was very depressed and cautious at the beginning.
Especially "Huanzhu Gege", the TV series that made her take off, her agency at that time, if only it were like DreamWorks.
"Hmm. Director Wang is not bad except for the sometimes murderous points. Some time ago, I heard that Li Jinming was wronged in a small crew, and Director Wang made a phone call to where the investors and producers of the TV series were. As a result, the little director was removed the next day. So, except for the sometimes murderous points, Director Wang is okay with us. Liu Shishi said.
"Hehe......" Zhao Wei burst into tears and laughter.
"Don't say it, people are blessed. "Zhou Xun.
"Yes. β
β¦β¦
Wang Meng and Cheng Xiaodong have to discuss the design of the action every day, Wang Meng is not familiar with this aspect, just learn it, Cheng Xiaodong is also willing to guide, the two after a period of contact, each other found that each other is good, it is worth befriending.
After a while, assistant Lu Jieshu came over and said to Wang Meng: "Boss, you have found Liu Zhiyuan, Team Leader Liu, and Wang Peng and Wang Dao today, and the two of them have gone to your office, you see?"
When Wang Meng heard this, he almost forgot.
The script that I promised the two some time ago, because I was very busy before, I forgot about it, but now I think about it, hurry up and give it to the two of them, or the two of them will be uncomfortable.
"Okay. Brother Cheng, you work hard, I still have some problems. β
"It should. β
Wang Meng said hello to Cheng Xiaodong and left.
When he came to the office and saw the cramped two, Wang Meng took out the prepared script.
"Brother Peng, you are simple, the actors in the chamber drama are all your own, or you are a student in the play. Chen He, Lou Yixiao, Sun Yizhou, Li Jinming, Jin Shijia, Zhao Ji, Wang Chuanjun, Deng Jiajia, Li Jiahang, Zhao Wenqi...... I've found it for you, of course, you can refer to it, and if you're not satisfied, you can change it casually. β
Wang Peng happily took the script and read it.
Wang Meng said to Liu Zhiyuan again: "Brother Liu, you are more complicated, I need half domestic actors, half European and American actors, so that we can try to release it in Europe and the United States and other places, you can find out for yourself, and if you have a candidate, just tell me." β
When Liu Zhiyuan heard it, he was surprised that it was going to be released in the United States and Europe. I took the script and read it.
The two know Wang Meng's screenwriting ability well, and "Love Apartment" is okay, but Liu Zhiyuan's "Chainsaw" is complicated.
Don't talk about others, Liu Zhiyuan was shocked after reading it, this is not only terrifying, but even a little disgusting, look at this needle pit, look at this chainsaw, Nima is too scary, but I am very excited.
"Director Wang, I have no opinion, I think these actors you chose are good. It's my first time as a director, and it's easy to get started with my own actors, and I can handle Chen Chichi and Wang Chuanjun. Wang Peng said.
In fact...... He understood what Wang Meng said just now, it was nothing more than Wang Meng explaining, I don't want to deprive you of your rights as a director, I'm just giving you advice, whether you need these people or not, you decide.
And Wang Peng also knows that Wang Meng is good to him, at least these people know the roots, and it is convenient to greet them.
So, as expected...... It is Chen Chichi and others.
"That's good, in addition to the actors who have already signed a contract, I also want to sign them for the rest, I will tell Manager Wu Juan that I will also be my own actors in the future, and after the release of "Love Apartment", these people will be somewhat well-known, and I can cultivate my own artists by the way. Wang Mengdao.
After listening to Wang Meng's plan, Wang Peng nodded and agreed, and said, "Director Wang, I'll go read the script first." β
"Well, go ahead, by the way, I'll call my cousin and give you your financial expenses, I'll talk to her, and tell her to find someone to budget the general budget. Let's get ready to start after the New Year, I hope you can finish the shooting as soon as possible on the premise of ensuring the quality, so that the funds can be recovered. The budget of "Painted Skin" is only prepared for the early and mid-term, and the money behind it depends on you and Brother Liu's work. β
"Well, then I'm leaving. β
Wang Peng knew Wang Meng's plan, and was very cautious about what Wang Meng said, 'rely on them', and hoped to live up to Wang Meng's expectations.
In fact!
For "Love Apartment", Wang Meng's expectations are smaller.
Whereas...... Liu Zhiyuan's "Chainsaw" is the big one, as long as this movie is done, then the follow-up funds of "Painted Skin" will be found.
At that time, plus the periphery of "You at the Same Table" should also be withdrawn, the filming of "Painted Skin" does not have to worry about the shortcomings of funds.
