Chapter 388: Time Interview

Mid-March. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The previously released "Butterfly Effect" and "Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark" have all come to an end.

"Bear Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark" won a total box office of 86.72 million in the mainland, breaking a series of records.

It can't be said that it is a record-breaking, but it is the creator of the record at all, and since there is no precedent before, it is as much as it is created.

The achievement of more than 86 million is the current record of animated movies.

This is highly rated in the media.

"The first animated movie came to an end, creating nearly 87 million results, not how many records were broken, but how many records were created. Nowadays, under the premise that it is difficult for live-action movies to get a box office of 50 million, it is really rare for an animated movie to get such a result. This is a very high-profile step for my country's animated films, and it is also a step forward. -- media reports.

"I didn't expect "Raiders of the Lost Ark" to be so powerful, getting nearly 87 million, and I heard that a total of nearly 130 million yuan at home and abroad. The first time I saw it, I was curious, but now I'm looking forward to it. After hearing the success of "Raiders of the Lost Ark", many animation companies also announced that they would produce animated movies, which was definitely driven by "Bears Infested: Raiders of the Lost Ark". Of course, DreamWorks' "Kung Fu Panda" is also very crucial, allowing many animation companies to see the prospect of cartoons, after all, DreamWorks dares to do this, and they also have the confidence, right?" - netizens.

1st floor: "That's right, some people said before that it means more than grades, but now I understand that it is indeed more meaningful than grades." Now I've heard that three animation companies have announced that they are going to make big animated movies, and that's the biggest impact of bear infestation. ”

2nd floor: "I also feel incredible, some people may be hesitant, but after hearing about the $100 million "Kung Fu Panda", I must have made up my mind. It seems that DreamWorks is still powerful, everything is the first person, amazing, admire. ”

3rd floor: "You just need to understand some of the achievements, or there are pretending people to attack you, you know, there are always self-righteous 'garlic' who think they are tall." Hehe......"

4th floor: "The 3rd floor is right, there are always stupid forks who think they are the best, everyone should be careful not to be bitten by dogs." ”

5th floor: "I'm here to make soy sauce, I heard that netizens have the most crooked ability, it seems to be crooked again, haha......"

6th floor: "Reply to the fifth floor, it's not that everyone is crooked, it's forced by a group of pretending people, haha......"

……

And during this period, "The Butterfly Effect" was drawn.

China got 166 million yuan, and the 1.489 billion yuan worldwide greatly exceeded Wang Meng's expectations.

The curtain came to an end in a round of praise, and the world was mostly appreciative.

Of course, the same is praise or criticism, but it doesn't matter, and Wang Meng doesn't pay much attention to it.

However, Wu Juan recently called Wang Meng and said that "Butterfly Effect" was painted and received a wide range of praise, and many award ceremonies invited him to participate in the competition.

Wang Meng didn't pay much attention to this aspect, just leave it to Wu Juan, anyway, whoever doesn't like the award, just participate, and Wang Meng may not go when the time comes.

However, Wang Meng was very interested in the invitation from Time Magazine.

On the Asian side of "Time", I hope to interview Wang Meng, and the cover character of this issue invites Wang Meng to be responsible.

Wang Meng is very interested in this kind of influential magazine, and besides, "The Matrix" has a lot of night plays, and there are few during the day, so you can participate in some activities without delay.

It's just that Wang Meng is a little regretful, it's just an Asian version of the invitation, not a worldwide publication.

If it's worldwide, it's necessary to promote The Matrix.

After making an appointment for an interview, on March 22, the Asian edition of "Time" sent a reporter to interview Wang Meng.

It was a lady in her forties, named Ritana.

"Hello Wang, thank you for your support. Ritana looked like a professional lady, and greeted Wang Meng after sitting down with Wang Meng in a small conference room of the crew.

"It's my pleasure. Wang Mengdao.

"Well, Wang, I know you're busy, so let's get down to business, and hope we have a good time together. Ritana said.

"I think so. ”

"Wang, can you tell us about your original intention? As far as I know, you are still a student of the film school, and now you have achieved such a high level, what is your motivation?"

It's a question that Chinese journalists probably don't ask, because almost everyone knows it, albeit unsystematically.

But for "Time", it's different, it's the first time to have such an interview, and not many people in the world know Wang Meng's original intention.

Wang Mengdao: "This is a very easy question to answer, and many journalists and media in China know it. In fact, it is very simple to say, it is love, I think only by loving an industry with all my heart will I devote myself wholeheartedly. Yes, I love directing. As a child, I remember the movie that had the biggest influence on me was Cinema Paradiso. That's when my mom took me to see it.

Remember when you saw some of it...... Well, it's the intimate scene, my mother covered my eyes, just like in the play, hehe......

My mother told me that I couldn't watch it, that children couldn't watch such a plot, and I was very curious at the time.

You know what a kid thinks, there's always a lot of why? yes, I asked my mom why?

Mom didn't tell me why, she just said - I can't watch it until I'm older.

At that time, I remember saying angrily that when I grow up, I want to take your mother to watch a movie, and I will cover your eyes and prevent you from watching it when the time comes.

I remember my mother laughing and saying, "My mother will always see it, if you don't want to ask your mother to watch it, then you should be the director and make a picture of what you want to see, and then your mother won't be able to see it......"

Wang Meng tells stories to Ritana like a storyteller, and Ritana, as a very good journalist, knows more often the benefits of listening.

Wang Meng seemed to be very emotional, took a deep breath and said, "It's such an encouragement, it's my mother's encouragement." At that time, I thought that when I grew up, I must be the guy called 'director' that my mother said, and no one will let him watch it when I shoot it. ”

"Hehe......" Ritana laughed when she heard this. It seems that a stubborn little boy in his mind, after being covered by his mother to prevent him from watching the intimate scene between men and women, vowed to be a guy called 'director'.

"Funny, isn't it?" Wang Meng asked.

"No, it's touching, it's bland, it's remarkable. Ritana said.

"Hehe......" Wang Meng smiled, and continued: "That's it, I decided from then on that I wanted to be a person called 'director', and slowly as I got to know more, I knew what kind of job a director is."

Since then, I like to watch all kinds of movies, as long as I have pocket money, I will go to the cinema to spend it, you may not know that before I became a director, I was a very 'wooden' person, I didn't like to be lively, I always liked to immerse myself in my own movies.

I sometimes dream, and there are a lot of unbelievable things in my dreams, and I think my dreams are so good that I must let everyone know.

So, I was admitted to the film school, just like letting everyone know about my dreams, and slowly finally on the first day, I couldn't help it anymore because I was tempted by many dreams, and wrote the first script "This Man is from Earth".

Since where my dreams began to be known, I turned them into movies one by one......"

The two of them sat and enjoyed the afternoon sun, one telling and the other listening.

"Wang, you are a brave fellow, you have made your dream come true, congratulations. Ritana seemed to be deeply touched, and after listening to Wang Meng's story, she said very sincerely.

"Thank you, my dream did succeed, but my dream has just begun, and I think I will share more of my dreams with you in the future. ”

"Definitely, you may not know, I love your "This Man is from Earth" and "The Butterfly Effect", they are like an unbelievable dream, really, I love it. "I didn't expect Ritana to be a little fan of Wang Meng, doesn't she look like a lie?

"Thank you. ”

"You're welcome. Ritana asked, "So Wang, I want to ask, your films have a lot of groundbreaking, such as soft science fiction, such as the combination of Chinese and Western cultures, which are very groundbreaking. What makes you think this way?"

You may not believe it. Wang Mengdao.

"Tell me about it. ”

"Quite simply, I want more fans to share my dreams. That's why I wanted the world to understand, so I created this kind of creation. Yes, it was my greed. Wang Meng said very gloomy, a little self-defeating.

"Nonono......" Ritana shook her head and said, "First of all, thank you for your candor. Secondly, I would like to say that it is not your greed, but the luck of many fans. It's your thoughts that make everyone see so many good movies. It's not the director's fault to make more fans like and accept, every director is like this, so it's not your greed, it's our luck......"

"Thank you......"

The two chatted for a long time, and after the text interview ended, the accompanying reporter took a few more photos of Wang Meng to make the cover.

Wang Meng's dress is like Neo in "The Matrix", with sunglasses and a cape, which looks cool.

The reporter was also very satisfied with such a cover, and then Ritana said that she had a very pleasant conversation with Wang Meng, and left without stopping, hoping to publish this interview as soon as possible.

Wang Meng is also very satisfied with this interview, which is the first time that the world has truly understood himself.

And the influence of "Time" is so great, presumably during this time, there will be a great repercussion.

After the interview, the filming of "The Matrix" will continue.

However, Wang Meng did not expect that because of this interview with Time Magazine, it would trigger a series of news. A certain 'unknown why' guy actually openly fought with Wang Meng.

And for the first time, its arrogant tone let the world know that the thoughts of this country are really incomprehensible.
