Chapter 338: New Film Project "Painted Skin" (2/3)

On January 03, 07, DreamWorks held a press conference.

For "You at the Same Table", it caused a 'phenomenal' and made many domestic reporters crazy, and for many years, phenomenal movies have appeared again.

And the so-called 'Quadruple Battle', which was still thinking about some time ago, is meaningless, and Wang Meng's "You at the Same Table" has won reputation even if it loses at the box office.

After all, phenomenal level is rare, coupled with the creation of new genres, coupled with the fact that Wang Meng is not only a genius director, but also a business elite recently, which has led to not only reporters from the entertainment industry coming to interview, but also reporters from many business newspapers.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the reception hall of DreamWorks was packed.

DreamWorks has long been familiar with this kind of press conference, and it seems that such a reception has not been interrupted since Wang Meng established DreamWorks.

Every once in a while, as long as Wang Meng makes some explosive news, a reporter will invite him to a reception.

Wang Meng led the group of "You at the Same Table" to the reporter.

The sound of "click-......" is endless.

The host of this reception is Jiang Shuying, and Jiang Shuying has become the spokesperson of DreamWorks.

After all the seats were seated, the reporters began to ask questions.

"Director Wang, what do you think about the phenomenon caused by "You at the Same Table"?" reporter.

Wang Meng said: ["Actually, I have been repeating a sentence, and reporters who know me will know that I always put a sentence on my lips, that is, - the fans are the best candidates to test a movie, this time it is still the case, we just put a movie created with heart in front of everyone, as for the quality depends on everyone's meaning.

It's an honor that fans love "You at the Table", and we succeeded. And...... I am very proud to have triggered a trend, and I would like to thank all the fans who supported "You at the Same Table", it was you who achieved it with the movie tickets in your hands, and it also caused a trend by your word of mouth, on behalf of all the crew of "You at the Same Table", I would like to thank all the fans who supported "You at the Same Table", thank you. ”】

Wang Meng came to such an interview as soon as he opened his mouth, so he did it in one go without a pause.

"Director Wang, what do you think of today's memories and the reunion of many old classmates? I heard that some people have crossed half of China and even half the world to attend the reunion between classmates. "Journalists.

Hehe......

Wang Meng smiled and said: "I don't have an opinion on this, everyone's idea to meet for a party, I can't stop it." I think the transportation department should give me a medal, I promoted the transportation industry, haha......"

Wang Meng joked, and the reporter laughed after hearing it.

"Director Wang, can you tell us about the elements of your success?"

I remember when we announced that we would invite professors from Fudan University to participate in the production of the film and the basis of the theory. There are also reports that we exaggerate reality and deliberately hype it. Now it's obvious who is right and who is wrong. It is our attitude of heart that has led to this movie, so I think heart is the most important thing. As for the other factors, it is the opinion of the wise and the wise of the wise. ”

The reporter was very satisfied with Wang Meng's answer, Wang Meng did not refuse the reporter's questions, and could always give answers, more or less without evasion.

"Then Director Wang, can you estimate the total box office of "You at the Same Table"?" reporter.

"Haha......" Wang Meng smiled and said: "Our reporters always tell me to predict, I don't have that ability, of course, I understand the thoughts of reporters, just ask me to give me a rough idea." But...... If I'm wrong, you're going to make sure you don't mess with me?"

Wang Meng pretended to warn, which made the reporter laugh, thinking that it seems that Wang Meng is not bad, as long as you do it with him everywhere and pay attention to the tone of your voice, he is still very good.

Of course, this is a change in journalists, so Wang Meng's attitude has also changed.

Since the reporter knew that Wang Meng's assets were almost 200 million, everyone was careful. Being rich doesn't mean anything, but having money also means a lot......

Any smart newspaper editor-in-chief will tell his reporters -- pay attention to the tone of voice when interviewing Wang Meng.

I didn't know it before, but now I know it, if it really angers him, it is possible for him to buy the newspaper and then go out of business.

Of course, it's a joke. But it means that rich, very rich people, don't offend easily.

"It's expected that this thing is very unreliable, I'll just tell you a rough number in my heart, I hope that the mainland box office of "You at the Same Table" can reach more than 80 million, and it would be better if it could break 100 million. Wang Meng thought for a moment and replied.

And the reporter heard the mystery and asked: "Director Wang, when you say the mainland box office, do you mean that Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas will also be released?"

Wang Meng smiled, sure enough, the reporter was very good at listening to the mystery, Wang Meng replied: "Yes, it's good news, in January 07, "You at the Same Table" will be released in Hong Kong and Taiwan, six Southeast Asian countries, as well as Japan and South Korea. This can be regarded as the policy of our DreamWorks following the command of the state and trying to go out. ”

Wang Meng did not forget to pat the country's sycophants, and when he said it like this, at least he didn't dare to smear it.

"Congratulations to Director Wang, can Director Wang ask, what do you think of the business community's evaluation of you?" the reporter of the business news took the opportunity to ask.

"First of all...... I myself was terrified. Some of the reports are also exaggerated. I myself have always been a director, I am, I will be, I always will be. Directing is an industry that is fully dedicated, even if it is a lifetime of dedication. I position myself as a rookie director, and I still have a long way to go, so I can't talk about it commercially. ”

Reporter: "Director Wang is modest, although you are not in the business world, your name has been circulating in the business community recently. Therefore, many investors believe that the entertainment industry will be a hot industry in the future domestic economic growth point, and movies are the top priority, do you think everyone is right to say this?"

This sentence is far away, but Wang Meng knows that the entertainment industry in the future, especially the media industry and the film industry, is indeed a big hit, especially after 10 years, various film and television companies will rise like mushrooms.

And everyone who has entered the movie, there are singers, there are people who write books, some who are actors, some who shoot commercials, some who talk about cross talk, and even those who act in sketches are all involved, not to mention those who have two spare money and nowhere to spend.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Meng said: "There is a saying that investment needs to be cautious. For films, I think it's the same way, you need to be cautious about investment. Without an eye and a plan, try not to get involved.

It's hard to say, I'm just a director, and I don't know much about the rest. I am happy that everyone is optimistic about the film industry, because the more people participate, the more people will pay attention to it, and the resources will increase.

But...... Again, it's better to be cautious. I personally don't know what I'm going to do next, or what the next movie will be, but you may have seen my success, and when we worked hard, we were not much better than reporters. ”

Wang Meng didn't want to answer such a question, first, he really didn't understand, and second, how to do it himself.

Just a director, what are you mixing blindly? So I said a few words without pain.

"Director Wang, just now you said that you don't dare to guarantee your next plan, does it mean that you have an idea for the next work? Can you reveal it?" a reporter seemed to have found a wonderful point and asked.

Wang Meng smiled secretly, thinking that it seemed that he had guided well, and the reporter found out.

But he pretended to be embarrassed to think about it, and after a while, he sighed and said: "You guys are really amazing, this has been tricked out by you, the original plan is not mature, since everyone wants to know, I'll tell you, right?"

After listening to the music, the reporter made a big discovery, and the receipt was not small.

Wang Meng said: "There is indeed a plan, and this plan was born when I was not admitted to the drama directing department. Later, I was shocked to see similar themes abroad, so I decided to try it recently, inspired by my country's classical masterpieces, it is a familiar story, and even not only my country, South Korea, Japan, and many places in Southeast Asia have some understanding of this story, and even familiar with it......"

The more Wang Meng said that the reporter was itching in his heart, and hoped that Wang Meng would speak out quickly.

Wang Meng introduced the cause, so that everyone heard that he felt that he had been planning for a long time, and he was immature before, but now he is finally mature and is about to set up a project.

The name of this film is "Painted Skin", which is inspired by the classic work of Mr. Pu Songling, a famous novelist and writer in the Qing Dynasty in China, and Mr. Pu Songling, a resident of Liuquan. ”

After Wang Meng finished speaking, the reporter was stunned, who doesn't know, unless you say that you are not Chinese.

This is not only a classic, but also a shining point of Chinese culture, there are really not many people who don't know, let alone reporters.

"Director Wang, I don't understand what you mean. You are saying that the inspiration is from "Painted Skin" in "Strange Tales from Liaozhai", are you saying that you are not copying, but changing. Other than that...... Is this a merger of historical and mythological themes, or is it a horror film or a ghost movie?"

The reporter asked everyone's puzzlement.

Truly......

Today's domestic "Strange Tales" are all in the form of TV dramas.

Even if the movie is borrowed by Hong Kong directors, it is not available in China, so the reporter does not understand.

Just like in the previous life, "Painted Skin" set a precedent for domestic fantasy themes, and this life is naturally the same.

In the last 08 years, "Painted Skin 1" was released, and now it has just entered 07 years, and the reporter naturally does not know.

"It's not a myth, it's not a ghost movie, or a horror movie, it's a domestic magic film. Wang Meng said with certainty.

"Fantasy!"

"It's magic?"

"Director Wang, what do you mean ......?" reporter.

"Yes, it's magic, and there are no movies with this theme in the mainland yet. In fact, everyone knows a world-famous fantasy film that everyone is familiar with, just like the theme of "The Lord of the Rings - The Lord of the Rings". Wang Mengdao.

Outcome......

So the reporter was shocked, and the relationship is creating a new type, and the emotional ambition is so big?

"Director Wang, you say it's the same as "The Lord of the Rings"?" reporter.

"No, no, no, I'm just figurative, naturally I can't reach that level. It's just a metaphor for the similarity of the themes of the two movies, I don't dare to say that I can make as good as "The Lord of the Rings". Wang Meng hurriedly explained.

Wang Meng is afraid, and he is not afraid of big reporters to boast like "The Lord of the Rings", or "Harry Potter". That's trouble.

Whereas...... Reporter doesn't care about this, Wang Meng said that magic is enough, and it is the first case in China, big news.

"This is a domestic fantasy theme, so it's not good to compare it with an internationally renowned magic film. - Wang Meng.

"I just had an idea, as for the project, it will be the Lunar New Year in 06. - Wang Meng.

"The list of actors hasn't been thought of yet, and I'll tell you when the time comes. - Wang Meng.

"The investment will not be small, it is expected to be no less than 80 million yuan, or even more. - Wang Meng

"Yes, there will be a lot of special effects. - Wang Meng

"I don't know if I want to be the starring actor yet, let's see the audience's reaction!" - Wang Meng

“……”

The reporter was crazy, and all kinds of questions came to Wang Meng without money, and Wang Meng tried his best to answer.

It wasn't until half an hour later that the reporter asked everything he should have asked, and then interviewed the actors of "You at the Same Table".

This group of newcomers saw Wang Meng bragging there, and they were envious, and it was finally their turn.
