Chapter 130 Expansion
On June 30, Lao Xu's "Dreams in Reality" was released.
This movie, which should have been released on the same day as Shitou in his previous life, set sail alone this time.
The previous life's "Dreams Into Reality" received widespread praise. At that time, Shi Tou was still in his nameless period, so Xu Jinglei was the protagonist at that time.
It’s different now. The stone has been painted, and Da Vinci has also painted it. Dream is still the protagonist.
Wang Meng attended the premiere and met Mr. Zhou, who was a little distant recently, and her little tail Zhao Liying.
At the same time, Wang Shuo, the screenwriter of "Dreams into Reality", was also present.
Wang Meng also saw Mr. Zhou and Wang Shuo talking happily. Wang Meng was a little worried about this scene.
It seems that the two of them made their relationship public in 2007, but they don’t know when Wang Meng started. I thought to myself, is it that it started now?
However, isn’t there a rumor about a scandal with Wang Zhonglei this year?
It’s not because of my own reasons. What’s wrong with Wang Zhonglei? However, Wang Meng just thought about it and didn’t say anything?
Everyone has their own rights, so why should they care about so much?
After the premiere, Lao Xu asked Wang Meng about his opinion.
Recently, Wang Meng has been telling others about his opinions, and he is a little depressed.
It's really troublesome to be profitable as a director and producer.
Just think about it, there are a few directors who can be called making money in 2006, Feng Xiaogang, Zhang Yimou, and Wang Meng.
Only these three people have been making money, even though Wang Meng only made one and produced one.
This is not China a few years later.
Chinese films, which are in the process of change, are changing from art first to making money as their own responsibility.
Nowadays, a profitable director is very popular.
And it will become more and more popular in the future. From now on, many directors in Hong Kong have been officially attracted by mainland film companies.
Although there were Hong Kong filmmakers who went north very early, there were really no ones who made a name except for a few directors.
It was not until 2005 that domestic films began to rely on commercial films to drive the total box office, and Hong Kong filmmakers began to officially rise.
If you want to say which director in China has the most experience in making money, he must be a Hong Kong director.
Just like Wang Meng at this moment.
Opinions are very important, and Xu Jinglei cannot ask too much.
Wang Meng had to compare the previous life, and combined with the situation in the previous life's release, and gave Xu Jinglei an explanation.
Wang Meng remembers that the box office of her dream in her previous life was not high, and she doesn’t remember exactly how much she should have exceeded 20 million.
The total investment of this movie "Dreams Come to Reality" has reached 6 million, and it should be possible to recover the cost in the surrounding area. As for making money, don't think about it.
So after Wang Meng gave the analysis, Xu Jinglei said: "I feel relieved when you say this. Not every movie is like your stone. In this way, I can participate in "The City of Damage" without distraction."
After Xu Jinglei said this, Wang Meng understood.
Lao Xu seemed to be very ambitious at the time, but she saw that this movie did not have the elements of being a hit.
But I don’t give up and want to see Wang Meng’s opinion.
After Wang Meng gave the answer, he felt completely relieved.
You can star in "The City of Damage".
"Which Liu, Director Mai Zhaohui, Tony Leung, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Shu Qi and you starring?" Wang Meng asked.
Among them is an idol from my previous life. It is said that the two of them have never met in this life.
"Yes, they are the two directors of "Infernal Affairs". I have hope for that movie." Xu Jinglei was also excited about participating in such a movie.
Wang Meng knew that in his previous life, "The City of Damage" was also a good movie, and the box office in the mainland also reached more than 70 million.
As expected, it will be released at the end of this year.
It just didn't repeat the miracle of "Infernal Affairs".
The two talked for a while, and Wang Meng joked that he asked him for Tony Leung's signature, and Xu Jinglei said that there was no problem.
And while the two were talking, Zhou Xun and Zhao Liying, who were standing beside each other, looked here from time to time.
"Sister Xun, are you having a conflict? What's wrong?" Zhao Liying was not stupid. From that day on, she knew that the two had a different relationship and had inexplicably closeness to Wang Meng.
Whether it is Wang Meng who saved her or the idol.
Zhou Xun was a little embarrassed when he heard Zhao Liying's words, and seemed to have his worries been broken, so he said, "What do children know? There is no conflict at all, just friends, you think so much."
Zhou Xun defended himself, but found Zhao Liying's suspicious eyes.
He also said: "If you have to work hard, it is best to snatch him from which woman. Sister Xun will give you an idea. Besides, how good is a fairy tale that heroes save beauty? Do you have to work hard."
This sentence completely surrendered Zhao Liying, after all, she was young.
Zhou Xun looked at Zhao Liying who was shy and was amazed. It seemed that she was talking about it. This little girl did have a crush on Wang Meng.
That guy is so lucky to be a woman, but his age gap is too big.
Zhou Xun suddenly felt that he was born at the wrong time. Before I was born, I was born, and I was old! When my hair was as long as my waist, I wore open-crotch pants.
Good fortune makes people...
In early July, Wang Meng returned to DreamWorks.
After a new round of capital injection, the stones were divided.
A new round of expansion of DreamWorks has begun, improving many departments.
The new finance department, music department, creativity department, artist department, security department and other departments were established, and almost all the old employees in the early stage were independent talents.
Including the production department, external relations department, publicity department, public relations department, audit, planning, execution, photography and other departments.
Zhao Jisen and Zhang Lantian were officially promoted to deputy managers of DreamWorks.
Zhao Jisen is in charge of human resources, financial review, company budget, execution ability, law and other work. In the past, Yu Long became Zhao Jisen's general. In addition to assisting Zhao Jisen's work, he also worked part-time planning and other work.
Zhang Lantian is in charge of external relations, publicity, public relations, artists and other departments. Fu Qiang, the former external relations, is now Zhang Lantian's right-hand man, in charge of various departments under Zhang Lantian's jurisdiction, as well as planning, etc.
Of course, it is not that the four of them are in charge of so many departments, but that they are temporarily part-time. These departments have their own supervisors, and the four of them are nothing more than comprehensive dispatching, not direct jurisdiction.
When DreamWorks expands again, it is the time when the four of them officially go from being in charge of business to being in charge of people.
This is also done for the convenience of handover, so I will bring the newly recruited staff by the way.
The Finance Department is not Zhou Hui alone now. Zhou Hui was promoted to financial manager and was only responsible to Wang Meng alone.
Wang Peng is much purer. Like Ning Hao and others, he is not in charge of any department and is just a director.
Experienced in the newly established artist department, he was a female general, named Wu Juan in her forties, and was introduced by the Third Master. Wu Juan has the courage of an Iron Lady.
It took more than a week to recruit artists and agents, most of which were her former apprentices and subordinates.
Now DreamWorks can barely be considered artists are Huang Bo and Guo Tao, plus Jiang Shuying.
Ning Hao and Wang Meng are only directors. So the current DreamWorks Artist Department is still very immature.
However, Wang Meng thought about it and then pulled Chen Chichi, Zheng Kai, Li Jinming and other students from the theater in a while.
In addition, the article, Tang Yan, Bai Baihe, Zhao Liying, and Yang Ying cannot be missed.
I believe these future big stars will not refuse.
Wang Meng is not professional in managing Wang Meng, so he fully understands people and takes responsibility, and handes over the work to Zhao Jisen and Zhang Lantian.
I just met with the new employees, took three days to learn about the newly formed department, and then returned to the capital.
And, "Struggle" is about to end.
