Chapter 248 Two scripts

On the first Sunday of February 2007, it happened to catch up with the beginning of spring.

"You Are the One" released for 45 days will be released tomorrow. After six and a half weeks of journey, "You Are the One" has won a total box office of 117 million yuan in the mainland.

According to a 35% share, DreamWorks relied on "You, the Deskmate" this time, but in terms of domestic box office, it achieved a net income of 41 million yuan, and minus 14 million yuan in cost, and still achieved a profit of 27 million yuan.

The tax collection is only one hundred million, and 25 million net income is a must.

The following TV station broadcasts, the distribution of peripheral DVDs, and the broadcast of websites are all pure income.

Not to mention the benefits after making Tang Yan and others famous.

DreamWorks' reputation has also made great progress, and these are unseen benefits.

That's it, in the end...

"You, the Deskmate" is brave enough to move forward, ranking third in the box office in the mainland this year.

The National Master's "The Golden Armor in the City" relies on a total box office of 291 million yuan to break another record of domestic movies.

His box office champion of "Hero" of 220 million yuan was broken by himself, and he was somewhat lonely.

but……

It still did not enter the 300 million mark, nor did it take down the big ship "Titanic".

James Cameron, this mountain is still a shame in the Chinese film industry, and many directors hate him to the core.

But - Kashen may be one that all the directors in the world hate!

As of now, he is the one who ranks first in half of the world's movie box office. The directors who want to kill him may account for 80% of all directors in the world.

And... what scares everyone the most is that the God of Kat seems to be producing a cross-age blockbuster. It is said that it has been almost two years since it was done. It will take at least two years to complete it. It is rumored that the investment in this movie has reached nearly 400 million US dollars.

If Wang Meng expected it was not bad and the butterfly effect was not fulfilled, the blockbuster that Ka-god made now would be "Avatar".

That is, it is known as the prehistoric monster-level blockbuster, swept the world and scored more than 2.7 billion US dollars, the first 3d/imax movie in the true sense.

In fact, Wang Meng was a little scared when he thought of this. A year or two later, the domestic director finally used 400 million yuan to drop the big ship. Not long after, "Avatar" came, and directly raised the box office to more than 1 billion yuan.

This is the real loneliness of a master.

The Chinese directors at that time must have been discouraged. Fortunately, Xu Zheng's sudden appearance took several years to rewritten the box office to more than 1.2 billion yuan.

Since then, Chinese domestic films have officially risen. They are no longer afraid of Hollywood's sweep. The "Monster Hunt" alone has 2.4 billion yuan, not to mention the 3.3 billion yuan of "Mermaid" has nearly 3.4 billion yuan.

But it will be ten years later, and Wang Meng can't afford to wait.

Now we have to work hard to use "Painted Skin" to pull "Titanic" off the horse. When the big beast-level blockbuster of Ka God's coming, we must also take out a fight, so that Ka God will lead the coquettish king dreams...

Overseas box office has been heard. So far, overseas net income has reached 12 million box office, with a total box office of nearly 50 million.

It is estimated that Wang Meng is good. There is still one month of overseas release time, and it will earn another 8 million net income, with a total overseas box office of more than 70 million, which is probably feasible...

and……

Recently, Wang Meng has been learning action dramas under the guidance of Cheng Xiaodong. Her excellent physical fitness has made Cheng Xiaodong look at him with admiration. This "cliff" is a good seedling for martial arts practice.

Moreover, his memory is a monster. As long as Cheng Xiaodong has given instructions, Wang Meng can almost remember it.

And - you can also express your own opinions from time to time, and it is not an exaggeration to make progress every day.

Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei may have had such training before, and the two of them have few fighting scenes, so their training has also improved.

Feng Shaofeng, who ended the filming of "Down Night", successfully signed a contract with DreamWorks. Now, he is training with Wang Meng and his group. Feng Shaofeng had some basic skills before, so he learned quickly.

Liu Shishi is also here. The girl has a foundation in dancing and her body is very flexible and is often praised by Cheng Xiaodong.

However, Shishi's girl was very unwilling to let go at first and seemed very cramped. She slowly got in touch with her for a long time, and her careless and sweet personality showed up.

The magical laughter often scared Wang Meng and others.

Moreover, this girl has a naive personality and is very likable. Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei treat her very well, which makes her equally careless agent Sun Jing very happy.

However, Feng Shaofeng seemed very cautious and low-key.

This day...

Wang Meng came to the training place to see the progress, far away...

"Ha ha……"

There was a magical laughter, and Wang Meng knew it was Liu Shishi's. Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei thought the girl was very good, so they often joked and often made Liu Shishi laugh.

Especially when Wang Meng is away.

Outside the training room, there is Liu Shishi's agent, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei and others' assistants.

"Director Wang"

"Boss."

Seeing that Wang Meng was coming, everyone quickly stood up and said hello.

"Well, you guys sit down, don't be so polite." Wang Meng said to everyone. He turned to Sun Jing and said, "Xiao Sun, you and Shishi are really a perfect match. You two have a very similar personality."

After saying that, Sun Jing, who blushed, walked into the training room.

"Ha...ah! Director Wang is here." Liu Shishi was chatting with Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun, and was chatting vigorously. She was about to laugh and saw Wang Meng coming, but she was holding it in her arms.

"Liu Shishi, you can hear it all the demons. You have caused Mr. Zhou and Sister Zhao to ruin your feelings. You are so happy to hear you all day long." Wang Meng glared at Liu Shishi.

Sometimes if you don’t say a few words to this girl, she will forget everything and need to be beaten up frequently.

When Liu Shishi, who was blushing, she rolled her eyes when she saw Wang Meng glaring. She had known Wang Meng for a while. Although Wang Meng sometimes got angry with her, it was all fake, and it was nothing more than a show - "He is the boss."

Liu Shishi thinks this way?

Wang Meng was indeed not angry, just asking her to concentrate.

After saying that, he said hello to Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei, and went to find Cheng Xiaodong.

"And, I just talked about me all day long, but I can't laugh anymore." Seeing Wang Meng leave, Liu Shishi muttered.

Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun got used to it, looked at each other, smiled bitterly, feeling helpless at this silly girl's good luck.

Looking back on my past, why can’t I encounter such a good thing?

"Shishi, you are so lucky to meet such a good boss!" Zhao Wei sighed.

She was very depressed and cautious at the beginning of the period.

Especially "Return of the Condor Heroes", the TV series that brought her to take off, would have been great if her agency was like DreamWorks at that time.

"Well. Director Wang is not only a bit fierce, but it's not bad. Some time ago, I heard that Li Jinming was wronged in a small crew. Director Wang called the investor and producer of the TV series with a call. As a result, the young director was withdrawn the next day. So! Director Wang is not only a bit fierce, but it's okay to us." Liu Shishi said.

"Haha..." Zhao Wei burst into laughter and cry.

"Stop talking, they are blessed." Zhou Xun.

"Yes."

...

Wang Meng and Cheng Xiaodong discuss the design of the action every day. Wang Meng is not familiar with this aspect and just happens to learn it. Cheng Xiaodong is also happy to guide him. After a period of contact, the two found that each other was good and worth making friends.

After a while, assistant Lu Jieshu came over and said to Wang Meng: "Boss, you have been looking for Liu Zhiyuan, team leader Liu today. The time for you to arrange for Wang Peng and Director Wang Peng. They are here to go to your office. Do you think?"

When Wang Meng heard this, he almost forgot.

I promised the script of the two of them some time ago, but because I was very busy before, I forgot it. Now I remember it, so I should give it to them as soon as possible. Otherwise, the torment of the two of them would be very uncomfortable.

"Okay. Brother Cheng, thank you for your hard work, I have something to do."

"It should."

Wang Meng and Cheng Xiaodong said hello and left.

When he came to the office and saw the two of them being cramped, Wang Meng took out the prepared script.

"Brother Peng, you are a simple room drama and actors, or you are a student of the theater. Chen He, Lou Yixiao, Sun Yizhou, Li Jinming, Jin Shijia, Zhao Ji, Wang Chuanjun, Deng Jiajia, Li Jiahang, Zhao Wenqi... I have found you all, of course you can refer to it. If you are not satisfied, you can change it casually."

Wang Peng happily took the script and started reading it.

Wang Meng said to Liu Zhiyuan again: "Brother Liu, you are a bit more complicated. I need half of the domestic actors and half of the European and American actors. In this way, we can try to release in Europe, America and other places. You can find this yourself and just tell me if you have a candidate."

When Liu Zhiyuan heard that he wanted to release the United States and Europe, he was surprised. He took the script and started watching it.

The two knew Wang Meng's screenwriter skills. "Love Apartment" was easy to say, but Liu Zhiyuan's "Saw" was complicated.

Not to mention others, Liu Zhiyuan was shocked after seeing it. This was not only horrible, but even a little disgusting. Look at the needle pit and the chainsaw. Damn it was so scary, but it was so exciting.

"Director Wang, I have no objection. I think the actors you chose are good. I am the first time I am a director. I am familiar with my own actors and can easily get started. I can handle these guys Chen Chichi and Wang Chuanjun." Wang Peng said.

In fact... he understood that Wang Meng's words just now were nothing more than Wang Meng's explanation, I don't want to deprive you of your rights as a director. I'm just giving you advice. Whether to use these people or not, you will decide.

Wang Peng also knew that Wang Meng was good to him, at least these people knew the truth and were convenient to greet him.

So? As expected... it was Chen Chichi and others.

"That's good. In addition to the actors who have signed the contract, I also want to sign the rest. I will tell Manager Wu Juan that I will be my own actors in the future. After "Love Apartment" is released, these people will become somewhat well-known, and it is also easy to cultivate their own artists at the same time." Wang Meng said.

After hearing Wang Meng's plan, Wang Peng nodded and agreed, saying, "Director Wang, I'll go and read the script first."

"Well, go ahead and call my cousin here later to give you financial expenses. I'll tell her about the general budget. Let her find someone to budget for the New Year. Let's prepare for the start. I hope you can finish the film early on the premise of ensuring quality and recover the funds. The budget for "Painted Skin" only prepares the early and mid-term, and the subsequent money depends on the work of you and Brother Liu."

"Well, then I'll leave."

Wang Peng knew Wang Meng’s plan and was very cautious about what Wang Meng said, “It depends on them”, and hoped to be worthy of Wang Meng’s expectations.

actually!

For "Love Apartment", Wang Meng's expectations are smaller.

And... Liu Zhiyuan's "Saw" is the big deal. As long as the movie is done, the follow-up funds for "Painted Skin" will be found.

At that time, in addition to the fact that "You, My Deskmate" was about to be recovered, the filming of "Painted Skin" did not have to worry about the shortcomings in funds.
