Come to the office of Wang Meng in DreamWorks...

After secretary Lan Shuzhen got a pot of tea, she went out to entertain Tsui Hark's assistant and agent.

"Director Wang, it's an eye-opener. I didn't expect that the dream-realization special effects are already so professional. Moreover, Director Wang also focuses on introducing and cultivating talents, and has indeed put his heart into it. It seems that the plans mentioned by Director Wang are easier to implement." Tsui Hark sat on the sofa and said to Wang Meng.

"It's not as good as Director Xu said, just prepare in advance. Special effects are actually simple and simple, the key is that they have enough money. Now, at this small scale, I have invested nearly 30 million yuan, and a mid-range film can't cost so much money." Wang Meng sighed.

This is not a lie to deceive Tsui Hark, it does cost a lot.

"This is what I admire. If you dare to be an ordinary person, you are not an ordinary person." Tsui Hark said.

"Haha...it's also a hobby." Wang Meng smiled and no longer modest.

"Director Wang, are you ready for the script of "Die Renjie" we are talking about?" Tsui Hark began to get to the point.

"Don't worry, Director Xu, I have written two plans, one is "Die Renjie-Tongtian Empire" and the other is "Die Renjie-Divine Dragon King". As for the other sequences, I haven't thought about them yet. After all, you know a lot, and I want to shoot two movies first to see the market's reflections." Wang Meng replied.

Then he greeted his assistant Lu Jieshu: "Xiao Lu, bring the two scripts that were prepared a few days ago."

After a while, Lu Jieshu brought Wang Meng's two series "Die Renjie".

Tsui Hark took the script and started to read it. Wang Meng didn't say anything and was waiting in a group.

Tsui Hark finished watching it for about ten minutes, but it was actually the outline. Wang Meng didn’t do the specific dialogue and storyboards. He was too busy recently and had no time. So Tsui Hark watched it very quickly.

After watching it, Tsui Hark was very satisfied and nodded frequently: "No, Director Wang made a very good job. He had the spirit of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, the suspense of the plot, and the mysterious Chinese legend. In this way, the plot was perfect, and the audience could also deeply appreciate the suspense color in the script while enjoying the prosperous Tang Dynasty, which was very good." Tsui Hark said with satisfaction.

I thought of many situations before coming. First, Wang Meng only had a general plan and had no script yet. Second, even if there is a script, it still has a different story.

But at this moment, Tsui Hark found that he was not thinking deeply enough. Wang Meng was also a believer and said that he could do it.

The script is portrayed perfectly, and it is nothing more than some dialogue and action design that needs to be added, so this is simple.

It’s like a poem has a lyrics, and I just have to fill in it. Moreover, there are a few golden sentences in this poem, just keep the golden sentences and add the remaining blanks.

As for the action design Wang Meng didn't do it, Tsui Hark was an expert. Even if Wang Meng knew about the previous version, it would be difficult to do it, and it would be suspicious.

Whose action design is not rehearsed on the spot? Wouldn’t you be stupid to get it right now?

"As long as Director Xu is satisfied. Of course, this is the plot direction and outline I set. Just look at it. If you have any ideas, it should follow yours."

"No, you're good. I can see this over the years of experience. Now, it's nothing more than dialogue and narration, as well as some action designs. As for costume props, you have completed 80% of the preliminary script work of the director with professional designs, which is great."

After saying that, Tsui Hark put down the script, which was a little embarrassed.

Wang Meng discovered it and asked, "What's wrong with Director Xu, what's the matter?"

"I'm sorry for being like this." Tsui Hark opened his mouth and said, "When we agreed at the beginning, I really didn't expect Director Wang to come up with such a script so soon. I thought it would take a long time, and it was a tentative decision for this time."

"But! Director Wang's script has been completed for 80% of the time, and it will not be difficult to complete the entire script in a maximum of more than ten days. I really didn't expect this...so..."

After Tsui Hark said this, Wang Meng knew it, but Tsui Hark thought it was a long-term plan and couldn't take time to shoot at this moment, especially this year, so it was difficult to do it.

"Director Xu, I'm going to tell you, I want to apologize too." Wang Meng said.

"Oh, what's wrong with Director Wang?" Tsui Hark was stunned and thought to himself: - It's not that I don't need me anymore, but even if I don't need it, I really don't have time this year.

"Director Xu must have heard that there are many plans for Dream Factory this year, and with the acquisition of Dream Chasing Video and Dream Realization Special Effects Company, the funds are a bit inverted. There is no way to establish a project "Die Renjie" this year. If Director Xu doesn't mind, we can take it slowly, and we can establish a project next year at most."

After Wang Meng said this, Tsui Hark was stunned and laughed again.

The disc dragged out his concerns

"To be honest, I feel relieved when Director Wang said this. To be honest, my plan for 2007 is full, and it will not take time until 2008. I believe that Director Wang, a big production company, must understand that it cannot be completed in a short time, and requires full investment. Director Wang said just now, "

"hehe……"

"Ha ha……"

After saying that, both of them laughed, and it seemed that they had indeed come to each other's heart.

"That's best. In this way, Director Xu can take time to complete the script, and I can participate even if I have time. We have more preparations like this." Wang Meng said with a smile.

"Well, that's great, nothing better than this."

The two decided this way, and Wang Meng copied a copy of the script and handed it over to Tsui Hark.

Tsui Hark can take the time to complete the script. If Wang Meng has good ideas, he can fill it. I believe that the script written by the two of them will only be better than the previous life.

After chatting for a while, Wang Meng said to Xu: "Director Xu, can you introduce a martial arts coach from Hong Kong? My "Painted Skin" still lacks a martial arts finger."

"Oh!" Tsui Hark was stunned and asked, "What style is it?"

"Hard bridge and hard horse, I also want "Painted Skin" to be released in the United States and Europe. Foreigners like hard bridge and hard version."

"I have an old guy. Although he is not very good at Hard Bridge Hard Version, he is definitely not wrong. If Director Wang thinks it is feasible, I'll introduce it to you?"

"You said."

"It's Cheng Xiaodong. It started with "The First Type of Danger". We have worked together many times. The fantasy martial arts film "New Shushan Swordsman", the drama "The Sword and Ma Dan", the action film "The True Color of Heroes 2", and later "New Dragon Inn" and "The Swordsman". The span between them is very large and he can complete it successfully. If Director Wang agrees, I can contact him now."

Wang Meng was very satisfied when he heard this. He had heard of Cheng Xiaodong for a long time. Even Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was his martial arts director. Moreover, Cheng Xiaodong has too many works, almost countless. Although he is not as famous as Yuan Heping, he is no worse than him.

"It's great. I'm looking forward to working with Mr. Cheng Xiaodong, so please Director Xu. Mr. Cheng has any opinions. As long as he has within my acceptance scope, I agree to try any ideas he has." Wang Meng said.

By the way, I said my request, but I just said that I could find him, but he had to listen to what my director's authority said to me.

Wang Meng knew many secrets about martial arts, and many people did not listen to the director, especially this famous martial arts commander in Hong Kong, and he was still a young man.

"Does Wang not give you face in this regard, but I just don't give me face. I supported him back then, so there is no problem. Besides, Xiao Cheng has no shortage of skills and talent, but he knows the rules, but he knows the rules." Tsui Hark said.

"That's good, thanks to Director Xu."

"Hi, little thing, I'll call later."

After about ten minutes, Tsui Hark said, "It's done. He will come to the Demon City in a few days. Director Wang can talk to him at that time."

"Well, then it's time to make a decision as soon as possible. I can also make the actors and receive a period of simple training." Wang Meng said.

This is very important. It requires running-in with the martial arts coach and also requires consultation with the martial arts coach.

Generally, actors should train and prepare in advance unless they are action actors who can get started soon.

Tsui Hark took him in the Demon Capital for a day and discussed the script with Wang Meng. It was already evening, so Wang Meng treated him.

The next day, Tsui Hark was busy and Wang Meng was busy, Tsui Hark returned to Hong Kong with the script.

Wang Meng also began to formally interview the actors who were scheduled for "Painted Skin" and some staff members.

However, the news of "You Are Sitting with You" being released in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia has been back.

The release situation in these places is no longer as good as in China. Although the subject matter is fresh in this way, if each country has its national conditions, you can resonate with it in China, but it will be different abroad.

I can only say that a Chinese-language film that is more beautiful, except for Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, the results in Southeast Asia and Japan are not good.

However, the only surprise is that it has received a lot of attention in South Korea.

Especially the handsome guys and beautiful girls and the simple and warm plot, Korean movie fans like it very much.

After a week of overseas release, South Korea's box office reached more than 7 million yuan. Even if Japan was not popular, it won more than 9 million yuan due to its high base.

The six Southeast Asian countries have only won more than 7 million yuan in total.

Taiwan is very good, just like "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", which won more than 14 million yuan, which was a surprise.

Hong Kong and Macao jointly won more than 6 million yuan.

In this way, "You, My Deskmate" has won a total of 37.25 million yuan overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

According to a 18% share, overseas "You, the Deskmate" brought nearly 7 million yuan to DreamWorks in one week. Wang Meng estimated that it is still possible to have a net income of 20 million yuan when he finished paintings.

In this way, if "You, the Deskmate" includes the box office in the mainland and its surrounding areas, it can at least bring DreamWorks revenue to nearly 70 million yuan. The majority is still in China.

As for the media overseas, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, I just briefly reported on "Your Deskmate".

The most reported in Taiwan is also the one who is the best newcomer in the Golden Horse Awards.

"The faint memory of "You, the Deskmate" swept across Taiwan. Its director, starring and producer is Wang Meng, winner of the 43rd Taiwan Golden Horse Awards Best Newcomer Award..."

——【A newspaper in Taiwan】

"The memories of "You, My Deskmate" cannot be recalled, warmth is coming, a history of changes in China, and a romantic love story."

——【Some Korean newspaper】

"The immortal melody of youth, the Chinese film "Youth is coming."
