December 10th.

In the camera, Wang Meng stared at this part. This was a relationship outbreak, and the male protagonist who was a butterfly effect began to slowly discover that he had recovered his memory.

Xu Jinglei made an OK gesture, and this time her style changed again, becoming a shy and timid hotel waiter. When the male protagonist said some inexplicable words, the female protagonist Evan completely broke out.

Xu Jinglei shouted similarly: "Since you love me, why haven't you looked for me for so many years and left me here and let me rot."

Xu Jinglei likes this line very much. She appreciates Wang Meng's excellent lines.

And she has been preparing for this period for a long time and wants to show it through her best acting skills.

"Click!"

"Old Xu performed well, it's past." Wang Meng was very satisfied after watching the replay.

"Let's take a look." Xu Jinglei immediately ran over and took a look.

After reading it, I thought for a while, nodded with satisfaction and said, "I personally like the heroine here very much. In fact, this is her correct track. She is very timid, cowardly and miserable, but like an individual, it is not the hollow behind it."

"Well, just like it. I like this part very much," said Wang Meng. After saying that, he looked at his watch. It was a night scene. Wang Meng saw that it was almost the early morning and said, "Okay, everyone clean up and let's get here tonight. The work will be over."

"You have to be busy tomorrow, so let's get here today." Wang Meng said to Xu Jinglei.

Xu Jinglei nodded and said, "Thank you Director Wang for your understanding. However, tomorrow will be fine. Besides, "Butterfly Effect" is about to be finished. I'm going to take a break."

"Not necessarily, the Butterfly Effect also needs to be promoted, and it may be promoted abroad."

"Do you work? Understand." Xu Jinglei smiled.

"Haha...thank you for understanding."

...

"Butterfly Effect" is progressing very quickly and is already over.

According to the plan, the shooting is expected to be completed within one week.

After returning from the crew of "Scarlet Heart", Wang Meng received an invitation from Chen Kexin to premiere in the Magic City on December 12.

Very close and curious, Wang Meng agreed to the invitation.

On December 11, the premiere of "The Declaration of the Declaration" in front of a theater in Magic City was quite huge.

Andy Lau, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Jet Li and others have extraordinary appeal. This is the third most anticipated movie this year. It is also the first work of Chen Kexin's transformation.

The filming of the vocabulary was constantly changing. The filming started in 2006 and was not completed in September this year. Xu Jinglei also participated in the work of "The Butterfly Effect" after completing the "The vocabulary".

During this period, Xu Jinglei, as the female star, also promoted it with the crew of "The Legend of the Conquest". Fortunately, there is no conflict with the Butterfly crew, and Wang Meng is very good at adjusting and asked Xu Jinglei not to delay.

Speaking of which, these few years have been Xu Jinglei's most well-known years. She has been making constant film appointments from "The City of Wound" to "The Declaration of the Favor" to "Butterfly Effect". On the contrary, as a director, she has few opportunities to be a director in the past two years.

Xu Jinglei came earlier than Wang Meng. As the starring actor, she was preparing for the whole day today.

The two agreed last night that when Wang Meng arrived, Xu Jinglei hosted her.

In the theater...

The generous speeches, interactive programs, and some comments made the premiere lively. As Wang Meng, who just won the Golden Horse Award, was not the protagonist, but was also asked many questions by the host.

It's nothing more than using Xu Jinglei's relationship with her crew.

Chen Kexin was a little nervous: "I have done the first transformation before, but I have done this big production for the first time, and I am a little worried."

When Chen Kexin saw Wang Meng staring at him, he knew that Wang Meng saw his nervousness, so he confessed in advance.

"It's useless to say more now. At this time, we're waiting for the test of the market."

"Yeah." Chen Kexin thought it made sense, so he won't talk about the movie when it started.

"The End of the Name" mainly tells the story of the eldest brother Pang Qingyun (Jet Li) wearing an official uniform and overlooking his inauguration stage on the top of the city wall. He was full of ideals and ambitions. If he did not embark on this path of no return, he would be one of the revolutionaries of the New China who overthrew the Qing court and made great achievements in history. Unfortunately, two robbers and a woman changed his life, created his success, and led to his final destruction. These two robbers were sworn brothers who had vowed to share life and death with him: the second brother Zhao Erhu (Andy Lau) and the third brother Jiang Wuyang (Take Kaneshiro), and that woman was the second brother's wife Liansheng (Xu Jinglei).

Zhao Erhu became a robber in the troubled times and led hundreds of people to rob him everywhere. He also had a good idea of ​​robbery. Even if he robbed, he would "seven or three" and leave a way to live for the robbed villagers. The gains of the robbery were distributed to the good people who lived with him, so they were deeply loved by everyone. Zhao Erhu loved two people the most in his life, one was his wife Liansheng, and the other was Jiang Wuyang, the third brother who was robbery at the age of thirteen. Since the battle to rob the Taiping Army ration truck, the eldest brother Pang Qingyun, a stranger, was injured to block the arrows for Jiang Wuyang, which made Jiang Wuyang feel deeply grateful for his life-saving kindness. Therefore, Jiang Wuyang's admiration for Pang Qingyun exceeded his admiration for Zhao Erhu...

...He used Jiang Wuyang's fanatical character to convince him to stand on his side. Originally, Pang Qingyun was only one step away from success, but his actions hurt Jiang Wuyang, who admired him. At the inauguration ceremony, at the most glorious moment when his power was at its peak, Pang Qingyun died at the hands of an assassin...

The scene is the same as the original version, very powerful, with an expert at the door and an outsider watching the fun.

As the director, Wang Meng thinks it is very good. Details are Chen Kexin's strengths, so it is worthwhile on the one hand.

After the movie ended, Wang Meng briefly covered up his opinion. In short, he didn't lose money, but he couldn't make much money.

The investment is too big, Jet Li's salary is nearly 100 million yuan, which is a bit over. Not to mention Andy Lau and Takeshi Kaneshiro's 16 million and 12 million, Xu Jinglei's 2 million is inconspicuous.

Of course, the female lead Xu Jinglei has appeared for very little time, almost insignificant, with fewer roles, so she has less salary.

But... these people combined are half of the investment, and Wang Menglai will definitely not accept it.

Wang Meng's crew has always been a pitiful actor who has a small investment ratio.

Take "Butterfly Effect" for example. The heroine Xu Jinglei has 3 million yuan, the hero Huang Xiaoming has only 2 million yuan, while the other supporting roles have a total of less than 5 million yuan. The investment is 60 million yuan, and the actors account for less than one-sixth.

Excluding the proportion of special effects, it is almost a real investment.

Wang Meng’s opinion is that instead of asking actors to spend a lot of money, it is better to spend a lot of money on promotion?

Generally speaking, Chinese actors really don’t have that appeal abroad, and of course Jackie Chan is the exception.

Wang Meng's words made Chen Kexin feel very nervous. "The Voting of the Fame" is to be released globally. If you invest nearly 300 million yuan, the mainland will definitely not be able to recover it. It is difficult for all Asia. You can only make some money by relying on Europe and the United States, and with various peripheral copyrights to recover the costs.

Of course, the release of Europe and the United States and Asia is also the reason why Jet Li, Takeshi Kaneshiro and Andy Lau are invited to have appeal.

...

After returning from the premiere of "The Prophet of the Conquest", Wang Meng entered the finale of "Butterfly Effect".

On the 15th, Xu Jinglei, the female lead, completed her role. After Xu Jinglei's role was completed, she immediately joined the promotion of "The Vote for the Fame".

On December 19th, the last scene, Huang Xiaoming's scene.

Keep watching the replay, Wang Meng watched it patiently several times, and finally...

I saw many people looking at me expectantly.

"Haha... don't look at me like this. I can't wait! Well, I'll announce that the "Butterfly Effect" has been completed."

Wang Meng raised his arms and shouted.

"Ho huh..."

"Long live the director..."

...

...
Chapter completed!
