Time flies, and now it is the second half of September.

After more than half a month of preparation, Wang Meng's first step finally started filming.

When Wang Meng's parents learned that Wang Meng's first step of the movie was about to start, the two of them didn't say anything. Perhaps they thought of their own business experience twenty years ago, and they were very generous in supporting Wang Meng.

Due to the recent big sale of "Bears", Wang Zhiwei gave Wang Meng 200,000 yuan, and Wang Meng was not shy. After all, the money was not much, so why are you pretending?

It’s just that after the movie is released, you can return the money to your parents.

However, Wang Meng couldn't stand the expenses and management of money. Fortunately, my aunt's cousin Zhou Hui was from a financial background.

Due to love, Zhou Hui has been idle at home recently. After hearing Wang Meng’s request, she agreed directly.

Without financial predictions, Wang Meng's work will be much easier.

On September 21, major starring actors gathered at Shanghai Theatre. The opening ceremony will be announced today and filming will officially begin tomorrow.

Thanks to the joining of several big brands, the opening ceremony was held with great success, and many reporters were invited, as well as many people who came for several big-name actors.

This was all arranged by Zhang Lantian, and Wang Meng felt that he had discovered talents.

One hero and two helpers, Zhang Lantian planned the opening ceremony and the crew's miscellaneous work, and the deputy director Wang Peng was in charge of the necessary preparations for lighting, makeup, photography, etc.

In addition to the arrival of several big-name stars, Wang Meng went to greet him in person, Wang Meng, a few of his family members in the theater, only showed up and told him.

After all, there are some contracts from sponsors that need to be signed, including camera rental, film material selection, etc., and various things.

Wang Meng concluded that the director was really not something that ordinary people did.

In fact, this is not the case. Wang Meng does not have a superb team, no assistant, no agent, and no secretary. So it is certain that he is busy.

After sorting out the property, my cousin sometimes plays the role of secretary and assistant out of concern for my cousin. Some scenes that do not require Wang Meng to attend are handled by my cousin.

The people who were pulled over were Chen Chichi and Zheng Kai, including Wang Jian, the Shanghai Academy of Photography, Liu Qingqing, and others who were in the crew of "Miscellaneous Love for a Lifetime".

Zheng Kai, Chen Chichi, and Jiang Shuying were pulled by Zhang Lantian to communicate with several big-name starring actors and do some work within their ability. Photography Liu Jianban was taken away by deputy director Wang Peng. As for makeup Liu Qingqing, she almost became Wang Meng's personal artistic director and makeup artist. Anyway, she was all doing her best.

In this way, the entire crew was revitalized.

...

In the backstage of the opening press conference, Wang Meng is dressing up...

Although her natural clothes rack does not have a brand-name body, she instantly looks much more mature after being dressed by half-baked designer Liu Qingqing.

This is also Wang Meng's request.

After all, if you look like a careless young man, it will be difficult to get on the table.

"Director Wang, is it OK? Everyone is ready." Zhang Lantian came over and told him.

"Okay." Wang Meng looked at herself in the mirror and took a deep breath, and went to the backstage with Zhang Lantian.

When they arrived at the actors' backstage room, they all stood up politely, including the big-name Pan Hong, Zhao Youliang, Ren Quan, Li Bingbing and others.

"Hello, Teacher Pan, thank you for your support. I will rely on you for some time next." Wang Meng first came to Pan Hong's side. After all, is the biggest wrist here?

"Don't say that, I'm very happy to participate. The script is very good. Although Director Wang is young, I personally still optimistic about you." Pan Hong answered very politely.

“It’s a great honor.”

When Pan Hong came that day, two cars came, including assistants, makeup, stylists, agents, etc., which made Wang Meng very nervous at that time.

"Thank you, thank you..." Wang Meng greeted politely, and Zhao Youliang shook hands next to him, saying: "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Zhao."

"Senior Brother Ren Quan, thank you for your hard work next."

"Director Wang is lucky to invite us..." Li Bingbing had a very good communication skills and said, "After reading the script that day, I really didn't expect that our Chinese directors would have such a character. Not to mention anything else, the plot and logic in it opened my eyes."

Li Bingbing is not the international Li of later generations, and he is not as domineering as later generations. It is wrong. Wang Meng is the director now, so he might be excited to ask for an autograph.

"Thank you for your praise. Senior Bingbing's beauty coexists with wisdom. It's an honor to be able to cooperate this time."

"Haha... Thank you Director Wang for your praise."

"You may not know Senior Brother Ren Quan, I am your fan." Anyway, it's just to say good things, but fans are not fans. After all, it's not a big deal.

"I dare not, I dare not." Ren Quan was very polite. After all, he couldn't be polite. He didn't count the big names. In addition, there was a group of teachers from the beginning.

"Teacher Yu, Teacher Hu, Teacher Ma, thank you for your care. I don't want to say anything else, and I won't let you down." These three are teachers from Shanghai Theater, including Hu Jinqiang, who plays biologists, Ma Jianguo, who plays archaeologists, and Yu Chen, who plays the historians. They all play without pay.

"Shu Ying, Chen Chichi, and Zheng Kai work together."

"Um……"

The three nodded and said that they would not disappoint him.

"Dear teachers, the time is almost over. The reporters are here. Let's start." Seeing Zhang Lantian signaling his eyes to him, Wang Meng greeted everyone.

...

The host of this opening ceremony was Deputy Director Wang Peng.

"Reporters, please be quiet. Now, please invite Wang Meng, director of the crew of "This Man from Earth", starring Ren Quan, starring Li Bingbing, starring Pan Hong, starring Zhao Youliang..."

Several people walked out of the backstage one by one, stretched out their hands to signal. For a moment, the camera lights flashed, and the sound of "click, click" was endless. Especially after several big names appeared, about two or three hundred students and some fans who received the news gathered on the spot, shouting the names of their idols loudly.

Wang Meng has no conditions to promote it at present, and it is nothing more than the support of the director department, and it has a top position on the school’s homepage website.

That's it. After all, it is one of the three most powerful film and television academies in China. Many people have learned about the film information this time. As for some of the discussions in society, Wang Meng didn't pay much attention to it.

Actually, people ignored him and reported to several celebrities.

There are also people who are dissatisfied, but few are.

Why? Because of the strong support of the director department, no media would deliberately offend it, it was just a variety of imagination.

However, just that, it seems that Wang Meng is nothing.

Although Wang Meng's only comic "Bears" that can be seen so far is very popular. However, it's okay in Shanghai. Even if Shanghai is very popular, they don't care about the author at all.

In fact, Wang Meng didn’t know that his song “You, Deskmate” became popular after being released online by his classmates. Many record companies came to Shanghai Opera to buy the copyright.

However, he was blocked by Director Lu of the Director Department because Wang Meng could not be distracted now. Director Lu thought about waiting for Wang Meng to finish filming this movie.

After the starring actors sat down, host Wang Peng began a preheating.

"Next, please give our school's vice president a speech..."

Wang Meng didn't expect the vice principal to come, but he didn't refuse. More topics to talk about were publicity.

"Wang Meng, an outstanding student in the department of directors in our school..." Everyone didn't care what the vice principal said later. The reporters had long been accustomed to this kind of state-owned formalism.

"This film is the world's first soft science fiction movie, China's first science fiction movie, written and filmed by Wang Meng. This film tells the story of 14,000 years of survival..."

Wang Peng made a few general introductions. After seeing the reporter who was a little impatient below, he decisively completed the introduction, quickly and urgently.

"Next, please ask a question from the reporters. Please keep order. We have an hour to ask questions. Thank you for your cooperation."

After saying that, the reporters in the row below raised their hands to signal.

"Please, please..." Wang Peng clicked a female reporter in her thirties.

"Hello everyone, I am Mi Ye, a reporter from [Movie Weekly]. May I ask Mr. Pan Hong, why did you star in this movie? After all, it is a small cost and a new director. You are not the main character in it? Are there anything we don't know about?"

This is too sinister, just ask, you see, the director of this movie is ** silk, the production is grassroots, and you are not the starring actor, are there any shameful unspoken rules?

Pan Hong has experienced too many scenes like this. Nowadays, the news you are plain and simple will not be interesting. The more bizarre, the more incredible, the better it looks. It would be even better if it was a little darker.

Anyway, it is not uncommon for dogs to bite people, but it is news for people to bite dogs.

Pan Hong smiled: "First of all, I will answer the reporter's last question, there is no inside story you think. Secondly, why you star in this movie is because the script of this movie is amazing. Director Wang's talent is impressive. If you have to say something, it is the story that is fascinating."

"That is to say, you are out of good scripts, and you don't care about the director?" The reporter from [Movie Weekly] continued.

"Haha, you're thinking too much, I said, do you think I don't care if the director who can write such a script?"

"That……"

"Please ask the next reporter." Wang Peng quickly changed his target.

Wang Meng was a little annoyed at this time. Damn, I was the director and I just didn’t ask me first, I kept looking down on me.

But, laugh and restrain yourself.

"Hello everyone, I am Niu Cheng, a reporter from [Oriental Daily]. I would like to ask Mr. Zhao Youliang, do you also participate in a 'this' film out of the script?"

Wang Meng immediately smiled angry. No one looked at her sister at all. What is a movie like "this"?

Zhao Youliang smiled: "Please don't make any guesses. In fact, Teacher Pan said just now that the script is absolutely good, the director is absolutely amazing, they are all people with a little reputation, and they will never smash their own signature."

"Hello Ren Quan, I am Zhang Wei from [Tiantian Entertainment]. May I ask you and Li Bingbing work together on the same stage many times, and this time they played the male and female lead together at your alma mater. Does it mean that your relationship has been made public?" These are some gossip tabloids.

"Not" Ren Quan.

"How can you make it public without falling in love? You are so funny, this reporter." Li Bingbing.

"Teacher Pan..."

"Teacher Zhao..."

"Ren Quan..."

"Okay, please get close to the topic. We refuse to answer questions about not having anything to do with this movie." Pan Hong saw that she was a little out of control, but fortunately she experienced the experience.
