Once it was released, it sparked a following of chainsaw fans around the world.
It is expected that at the end of July and the beginning of August, only DVDs and other peripherals can bring 10 million net income to DreamWorks.
In mid-July, the box office share around the world was also recovered, and excluding the cost tax, DreamWorks received nearly 190 million yuan in revenue.
The injection of funds made the dream factory, which was about to bottom out, suddenly come alive.
Wang Meng's "Painted Skin" also received an influx of funds.
After filming started in early March, and now in mid-July, "Painted Skin" has entered the final stage.
Now there are only some plots left of Wang Meng, Zhou Xun, and Zhao Wei, and the rest have been filmed.
"Love Apartment" has been very popular recently, and another DreamWorks work, "Crazy Racing", is also in full swing.
Ning Hao predicts that "Crazy Racing" is expected to be completed at the end of August and is expected to be released in October, with an estimated filming time of two and a half months.
Now DreamWorks' main direction is the promotion of "Painted Skin", the most anticipated movie is slowly ending, and publicity is the biggest melody at present.
The initial publicity budget of 10 million yuan has been used to start propaganda in Asian countries.
There is very little propaganda in the country.
Nowadays in China, the name of DreamWorks is the biggest signboard, and with the fame of Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, and Wang Meng, the warm-up of "Painted Skin" is already considerable.
On July 17th, in the studio of the special effects of the dream.
is preparing the last piece of "Painted Skin", which is Zhou Xun's role.
Wang Menggao sat in the director's seat and watched Zhou Xun's performance on the monitor.
Zhou Xun also knew that this was the last shot, and he was extremely serious.
"Click!"
Wang Meng shouted. This one is good and meets expectations.
"Yes, it's over, I'm keeping one, ready. ”。
With Wang Meng's order, the makeup staff quickly stepped forward to check Zhou Xun's makeup, costumes and props, etc., and also checked if there were any mistakes.
There is another one, and the last one, I don't want to drop the chain, so all departments look at every detail with keen eyes, for fear that there will be mistakes and omissions.
Until the field attendant shouted: "Painted Skin, the last act, the last one, the second time, Ikesh ......"
The camera began to run, and the rocker, photography, lighting, etc. were meticulous.
Actor Zhou Xun also entered the state in seconds.
Wang Meng in front of the monitor also clenched his fists, it has not been easy for more than four months!
Until......
The last one, Zhou Xun, who has a spicy acting skills, has completed it.
"Click!"
Wang Meng took it up, took off his director's hat, looked at everyone excitedly, and waited for him to say that all the personnel in the finale were completed.
"I announce that 'Painted Skin' is finished. ”
"Roar ......"
"It's ...... done"
"Long live Director Wang......"
"Congratulations, congratulations. ”
The scene is boiling, not only is it not easy for Wang Meng, but it is not easy, there is no easy personnel for a crew.
Wang Meng's high demands, coupled with the urgency of time, coupled with many newcomers, the stumbling for more than four months finally came to an end, and they all vented the excitement in their hearts.
The movie is finished, why not their child is born?
Through their hard work, they have made an art.
As I said before, cinema is an art that human beings know at a glance, and the time of production and growth is clear.
Cinema is an art, and it can be witnessed and generated, and generation is shooting.
Now that the filming is complete, everyone is both excited and downcast. A silly girl is already crying, our silly white sweet poetry sister paper.
The old man is gratified, the newcomer is grateful, and all living beings are everywhere, and this is the case now.
Let's just talk about Wang Meng, I feel a little dreaming.
It was the first time for him to try a big production like "Painted Skin", and he encountered many difficulties and setbacks, but now he has survived.
Moreover, I benefited a lot, and finally asked for the 'little director' and was promoted to the 'big director'
The directors of big productions, in fact, the later big directors, are classified in this way.
At the age of 23, Wang Meng is a little proud of such an experience.
"Thank you all for your support over the past four months. Some of the original staff have worked hard for more than half a year, thank you. Now "Painted Skin" has finally been completed through the efforts of all of us, which is our common pride. ”
Wang Meng said excitedly, and even raised his arms and exhaled.
{"Among them, we had a lot of difficulties, we had a lot of setbacks, but we overcame."} I can't forget the suffering of my time at Fort Zhenbei, every day people get hurt and people break down every day.
I was dissatisfied with you and said that at that time, I had a thought more than once, and I thought many times: -- I don't shoot anymore when I go to my mother, and I will suffer a crime! Lao Tzu has money to squander, why is he so tired? How good is it to give up? How comfortable is it to give up? Suffer this crime here......
It's true!
At that time, I really had this idea many times.
But later, it was you who gave me the courage to continue, and when I saw you still gritting your teeth and persisting every day, I said to myself: -- surnamed Wang, you can't give up, if you want to be a grandson, what should these brothers and sisters in the crew do? Look at their daily efforts and persistence, you give up, it is definitely an insult to them.
So, I gritted my teeth and persevered, and we had a lot of difficulties in customer service.
Man, just like us.
In fact, we can not starve to death if we leave this industry, why do so many people who do not starve to death, even those who live in good conditions, come to suffer?
This is a kind of faith that is underpinning, and this kind of faith is called love.
We love movies, we love this work, we are content to be appreciated by fans after its release, and we are content to have a work born in our hands.
Formal this kind of love, let us walk together! let us redouble our efforts! let us have faith and dreams! let us not be the walking dead! let us live happily every day! let us be worthy of the years given by God!!"
!!!!
"Boom la la ......"
"Director Wang, that's a good point. ”
"Director Wang, you are also the pride of our persistence. ”
"Director Wang, I admire a man like you. ”
"Director Wang, you are the most tired. ”
Wang Meng is a little emotional, his eyes are red when he says it, it has been really not easy in the past few months, the leading actors and directors have gathered together, and his pressure can be imagined.
Now, it's finished, and it's really liberating.
Wang Meng stretched out his hand to appease the excited crew.
Then he said: "It's finished, you're all relaxed." But I'm not easy yet, I still have to worry about it in the later stage, and I have to suffer. I envy you?"
"Director Wang, we support you psychologically and encourage you psychologically. ”
"Yes, Director Wang, we support you psychologically. ”
"Haha......"
"Hehe......" Wang Meng smiled and said, "I received it, and seeing everyone's support, I know that you still feel sorry for me." So I may have a bad temper, scolded you, criticized you, presumably, you don't mind, do you?"
The crew was stunned, and Wang Meng said again:
{"Of course, if you are still angry and feel wronged, it is the dishonesty you just said."} So, you forgive me for having a bad temper, I'm very touched, thank you.
Finally, I apologize here, I do have a bad temper, and now I solemnly apologize, forgive a hard-working director who almost can't persevere, kind guys??"}
The crew was laughed by Wang Meng's whimsical fists, so that's it!
"What about Director Wang, is there any compensation?" asked the bold employee.
"Yes, tonight's finale banquet, let go of eating and drinking, five-star, count it mine. ”
Wang Meng shouted loudly.
"Oh, Mentor Wang. ”
"Director Wang, I like it. ”
"The director is good, and we strongly support it. ”
“……”
The people who had been promised were happy.
It's not just the finale banquet, it's finally over.
There are also Wang Meng's touching testimonials.
"What you just said is so good, I am touched. Zhou Xun couldn't help but praise Wang Meng.
"I was naturally moved by what I said. Wang Mengdao.
"Have you really thought about giving up!?" Zhou Xun was curious.
"Not really. At the beginning, he was tired, Wu Ershan was like a fly all day long, yes, he said, Wang Dao, who was injured, tomorrow he said that Wang Dao, who fell from his horse, the day after tomorrow, he said that Wang Dao, a piece of equipment was damaged, and the day after tomorrow was not over, and he said that Wang Dao was wrong here, where was it not good...... Hey, it was a bit of a collapse at that time!" Wang Meng sighed.
Zhou Xun felt a little bit after hearing this, he didn't speak there, and thought for a while before saying: "It seems that you are really not easy, I only saw you scolding this and criticizing that, thinking it was very beautiful, but it doesn't seem to be the case." ”
When Wang Meng heard this, he was blindfolded, and he could still think like this, and said with a wry smile: "Eldest sister, who wants to put on this stinky face all day long, and look like no one is close? Who doesn't want to be happy? However, if I don't have a sense of oppression, what will the crew do?
"Who do you call eldest sister?" Okay, Zhou Xun didn't hear Wang Meng's complaint clearly, only heard her eldest sister clearly.
"No, no, no!" Wang Meng hurriedly waved his hand to show that he didn't say, and said: "I'll go and stare at packing up things, you are busy first, remember to attend the finale banquet tonight, and the big actor can't be there if he doesn't show up." ”
After saying that, he ran away with a cigarette.
"Cut, I heard you call you big sister, stupid. Zhou Xun saw Wang Meng running away and muttered.
also fiercely gestured at Wang Meng's back......
After Wang Meng got rid of Zhou Xun, he checked the finishing work for a while, and interviewed several important original personnel and actors.
Post-production is inseparable from these people, plus post-dubbing, publicity, and other work, all need these people to participate.
Zhao Wei chatted with Wang Meng for a while, and Feng Shaofeng and Liu Shishi also came to thank them for a while.
and the foremen of various departments came to report.
"Painted Skin" is finished, and the post-production is about to start, although the post-production, especially the special effects, has been following up.
However, it is expected to be released in mid-September, and there are still two months to go.
It seems to be very long, but for a big production like "Painted Skin", there are not many movies with a lot of special effects.
Not only that, Wang Meng also wants to publicize.
It is expected that the later stage can be completed in one and a half months, which also carries publicity, and the last half month is the busiest publicity time.
In the next two months, Wang Meng will not stop.
Is this the reason why the special effects have been being processed and have been following up on the production.
If you're done shooting, then you're going to work on special effects?
That!
The work of special effects alone takes three to four months.
What's more, the current dream special effects are mainly aimed at one work, that is, "Painted Skin"
Trouble with that!
Still want to release it in September?
Let's go to the side and wait until the end of the year!
