………………
There was gossip before that Wang Meng, Tsui Hark, and Chen Kexin have movie plans?
However, it is always gossip, and the reporter can't find the entrance if he wants to break the news.
It wasn't until the beginning of this year that the filming of "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" was initiated, and the reporters knew the actual situation.
I also knew that there was another plan to cooperate with Chen Kexin.
I've only heard that it's a fantasy adventure theme, but I don't know the specific details.
Until the other day, DreamWorks announced the news.
Title: "The Ancient Mirror of Xu Xiake", directed by Chen Kexin, Wang Meng.
Screenwriters - Wang Meng, and ...... of the Screenwriters Association; Production cost - $45 million. Genre: - Magic, Adventure, Love
Main actors: - Feng Shaofeng, Tang Yan, Yuan Hong......
Synopsis: -- The story takes place in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.
A piece of parchment roll of the young Xu Xiake's puppet, accidentally cut his finger once, and blood dripped on the parchment roll, only to know that this parchment roll is not simple, and there is a heritage.
Scattered in the land of Shenzhou, there are nine secret realms, which have never been well known, and this parchment scroll is the medicine spoon to enter these nine secret realms. The holder is the chosen decryptor, and there are people in the secret realm waiting for the 'Children of Destiny' to save them......
When these materials were released, everyone knew that this work of secrecy was very good.
From the cooperation between Tsui Hark, Chen Kexin and Wang Meng, it can be seen that the idea of DreamWorks is obvious, the main purpose is to excavate ancient Chinese themes, adding elements such as exploration and reasoning.
It has been reported that -
"DreamWorks, combined with the collaboration of Hong Kong directors Chan Ho-sin and Tsui Hark, is a good bridge to graft. It is also a good idea to dig up the historical treasures of our country. Through the success of Wang Meng's adaptation of "Painted Skin", everyone has seen that movies with Chinese themes can go to the world and contribute to the spread of Chinese culture......"
All in all, it's a good thing.
It's not about stealing other countries' ideas, and it's not a bad production that follows the trend to make money. It is a good subject matter that is full of creativity and clear ideas, which is worthy of praise.
There were even prophesies that -
It is not difficult to imagine that if "Xu Xiake" and "Di Renjie" are successful. We can expect that more historical figures will be excavated. But I don't know if it's good or bad, and we'd be happy if DreamWorks came to create it. I'm afraid that it is still the kind of person who follows the trend and makes money, but it ruins a pot of porridge. ”
Right now!
It belongs to the period when "The Matrix" is in the limelight, and a lot of news will be drowned out.
But once "Di Renjie" is successful and "Xu Xiake" is established, this kind of news will definitely be sought after by many people.
It's a big deal anyway.
Now this is the case, since "Di Renjie Series" has not yet been released, everyone does not dare to guess casually, so it seems a bit calm......
Just like "The Matrix" scared many Chinese film and television companies.
What if "Di Renjie" and "Xu Xiake" also succeeded?
Hehe...... At that time, it was the beginning of the conquest by DreamWorks.
Two days ago, Wang Meng received a call from Chen Kexin, hoping that he would attend the start-up ceremony.
Originally, Wang Meng refused, but Chen Kexin added Wang Meng to the list of directors.
Is this the hard way?
Chen Kexin said that like Michael Bay, the failure of "Casting the Name" also had a great impact on him.
In the original space-time, he was silent for a while. There was no silence here, and Wang Meng pulled him in.
In fact, in Wang Meng's view, Chen Kexin is a good director, and the failure of "Casting a Name" is purely due to spending money to draw the wrong place, and the actor's salary accounts for more than half of the production cost, which is simply nonsense.
Take a look at the current "Xu Xiake Series".
The production cost was $4,500 (actually $35 million). The actor's salary is just under $2 million. less than one-tenth, the remaining more than 30 million, and special effects account for nearly 1,500.
The remaining nearly 20 million is the money needed for publicity and filming.
There is no such thing as being lightheaded, and the crew is very healthy.
Besides, the script and setting?
This is not Wang Meng's wisdom alone, it is the hard work of Wang Meng, Chen Kexin, and the Screenwriters Association.
The power of teamwork, the model of standard commercial blockbusters, to put it mildly, we are not uncommon in art or something, it is to make money.
You can say whatever you like, at least Chen Kexin and Wang Meng don't care.
But the question is, what if everyone says that the two of them are not artistic?
Chen Kexin is not afraid, he has too many art-themed movies, who said that he doesn't understand art, it's nothing to do.
Wang Meng, the 'scum', naturally won't let people speak ill of him, this product has been prepared for a long time.
Anyway, "The True Story of A Niu" will always be released in front of "Xu Xiake". Your sister said that I don't know art just for money, are you blind?
All along, Wang Meng has been stained every time, and every step has been very steady. This is not simple luck, this guy's calculation is also very powerful, will he calculate to have the current scene?
……
At nine o'clock in the morning on October 16, "Xu Xiake's Ancient Xuanjing" was launched in Hengdian.
Feng Shaofeng, who played the pillar this time, was very excited, since he cooperated with Wang Meng in "Painted Skin", he became famous by relying on demon hunters. Since then, film appointments have continued, endorsements have continued, and I slowly began to step into the pinnacle of my life, which is a little exciting to think about......
Now it's even more incredible, playing the first starring role in a $45 million production.
is still the starring role in the movie, it is simply the growth of eating hormones - fattening!
Let's take a look at the cooperating heroine Tang Yan, a proper beauty, invincible, so lucky!
However, in the dead of night, he was also thinking, who made him where he is today, who promoted himself to Yu Qingon?
It's Wang Meng, it's his own boss, and it's his idol.
I can't sleep in the middle of the night and think of Wang Meng, if Wang Meng knows, he may be tense and regret promoting him.
When can't you think about it? Can't sleep in the middle of the night?
The picture is too 'beautiful'!
In short...... Feng Shaofeng is grateful to Wang Meng, and this time he heard that Wang Meng also has a director, and he was even more excited.
I thought: I must behave well and not disappoint the boss.
has the same thoughts as Feng Shaofeng, as well as Yuan Hong and Tang Yan.
At the beginning of this year, Yuan Hong jumped to DreamWorks and is also an artist in DreamWorks.
Since joining DreamWorks, he has started filming "Step by Step", and has made many film and television cameos since then. Or the comings and goings of the awards ceremony, catwalks, endorsements, and other good news.
Yuan Hong was very grateful to Wang Meng, and felt that it was better to come out of a school, and he was too righteous and took too good care of himself.
This time, I was also very excited to be the second male lead in a $4,500 big production.
This is his first time participating in a movie, and he has starred in TV series before. Now he has moved to the big screen, and he is the second male lead, a big production.
This step saves at least five years!
Can you not be grateful?
As for Tang Yan, not to mention, almost everything about her was given by DreamWorks, and she was a contracted actor of DreamWorks since she was a student.
is really the same as her mother's family, Tang Yan is the kind of person who has a gentle personality, likes to be shy, and is not sociable.
Such a person, strictly speaking, is difficult to get ahead, but his fate is good.
In the last life, the rise of Tang Yan had countless dark speculations, and the old plotters were something.
In this life, it is much better, everyone knows that Wang Meng pulled her and Bai Baihe together, and almost no one attacked.
In front of the public, it has always been the image of a young girl.
Tang Yan is not an ambitious person, and she never thought that she would change jobs when she was so powerful.
Her idea is simple, stay in DreamWorks until she is old, and the people here are very good anyway.
Of course, if Wang Meng knew that a big beauty planned to look for him to retire, he would be shocked.
Actually, Tang Yan is really a bit simple, it's not that the people at DreamWorks are very good, but that he joined DreamWorks early, and he knows all the current DreamWorks giants.
These giants all know her and have a good relationship, do those people below dare to provoke her?
A fool to provoke her?
Not to mention Wang Meng's personal excavation, there are also remarks in the company that Tang Yan is Wang Meng's little lover.
So!
No one dared to find trouble, so she naturally stayed comfortably, and she had plans to retire.
The three leading actors of "Xu Xiake" miraculously thought of a piece, and all three of them wanted to act well and repay Wang Meng's support.
Until Chen Kexin informed the three of them, it was almost time and it began.
The three of them came to the backstage, they were all from the same company, and they all knew each other when they looked up and looked down.
So we chatted.
"Shao Feng, there are so many reporters outside, there are more than 200, at least this number. I really didn't expect that we could encounter such a big scene?"
Yuan Hong's personality is a bit out of the box.
I glanced out of the window and saw more than 200 reporters, and I was a little excited.
I didn't expect that at the opening ceremony of my film, there were so many reporters, and half of them looked like foreign reporters.
I thought it was incredible, and I thought to myself, is it going to be hot?
"Are there really so many reporters?" Feng Shaofeng was also surprised and asked, "There are more than 200?"
"Yes, at least more than 200 reporters, it's amazing, so many people interview us, tsk......" Yuan Hong was excited.
"Ahem......"
A sudden cough interrupted their obscenity.
Chen Kexin walked over with a little blushing and said, "What, young man, you think too much, those reporters outside are coming for your boss." We're borrowing light. Why don't I pull your boss to be a director?"
After saying that, he left.
The remaining three!!
Feng Shaofeng: "......"
Tang Yan: "......"
Yuan Hong: "Ahem......"
