Three hundred and seventieth chapters battle
The Spring Festival in 2008 came very quickly.
Accompanied by two still released works, "Butterfly Effect" and "Bears: The Treasure-Strike Bear Soldier", it was also accompanied by the shock of DreamWorks' announcement of the project "Kung Fu Panda".
The DreamWorks summary meeting at the end of the year became a feast for the company.
The media are very good, more professional than DreamWorks Finance Department. The box office of nearly 5 billion this year makes every employee of DreamWorks happy.
"This year is a year of victory, a year of striding with its head held high, and Dream Factory led by Director Wang..." At the summary meeting, Zhao Jisen made his final speech.
"Of course, next year will still be a crucial year. We must overcome difficulties and not be afraid of difficulties... I believe that the mainland box office champion in 2008 will still belong to our DreamWorks."
Crazy...
After Zhao Jisen spoke, everyone responded with warm applause.
This year, DreamWorks ranked first with a box office of nearly 5 billion yuan in revenue, surpassing Huayi, which is much higher than the second place.
"Please tell me about it now."
There was thunderous applause again.
Wang Meng said affectionately, "As Mr. Zhao said, this year's success is inseparable from everyone's efforts. I am very satisfied with our all-round improvement this year. But... don't be proud, our future journey is still a long way, and next year will still be a crucial year.
Including the next few years, we still cannot neglect it. If we have created a throne, we must keep it and even make the throne more brilliant. Do you have confidence?" Wang Meng said.
"have!"
“It must be.”
Everyone said firmly, "Everyone knows that only with a strong headquarters can they be more brilliant as the branches of the company."
"That's good, to be honest, as the media said, two years ago we were unknown and a small company, which was an insignificant company. Now, no one can underestimate us. Two years of hard work cannot be separated from the efforts we are doing. The purpose of our company is to only make fine products, and our thoughts are the condensation of dreams..."
Wang Meng made another encouraging speech, which made everyone excited.
...
After that, I briefly studied the works that are being launched, the works that will be launched, and the works that are being launched.
"Director Wang, I can prepare almost the same thing in March, and then I can start the project. I think the name change of "The Shining" is OK. It is expected to be completed in more than a month and is expected to be released in May. After that, I will hurry up the shooting of "Saw 3" and will be released in Europe and the United States this year on Halloween. I will avoid August of the Olympics." Liu Zhiyuan said.
Everyone knows Liu Zhiyuan's works and his new works. Comrade Liu Lao has two horror films to be released next year.
However, horror films are very simple and easy to shoot, so there is plenty of time.
With the emergence of two chainsaws, the company now attaches great importance to this kind of horror film, because such films have little investment, short time and large profits, and have almost become a money tree.
"That's good. I don't care about your place and let it go." Wang Meng was relieved of Liu Zhiyuan.
He is no longer a newcomer. He has completed the production of two horror films alone, and Wang Meng has confidence in him.
"What about Brother Peng?" Wang Meng asked.
After hearing Wang Meng's inquiry, Wang Peng immediately straightened his back and said: "Director Wang, "Sharp Heart" is expected to be completed by the end of March and is expected to be broadcast in May. From then on, I will hurry up the production of "Love Apartment 2" and it is expected to be broadcast by September. There is no plan yet, so I want to see the reactions of these two movies."
Nowadays, Wang Peng is almost responsible for the TV series.
Although he also hopes to be a film director, his mind has not been so active recently. He told Wang Meng some time ago that he hopes to accumulate for two years, and he also likes the filming of the TV series very much.
Wang Meng has no objection. It just so happens that DreamWorks lacks directors in this regard. Apart from TV series invested and joint ventures, only Wang Peng is filming alone among DreamWorks.
Wang Meng’s plan is to find two more TV drama directors, and the TV dramas are also very profitable.
Moreover, the company has collected a lot of scripts, it would be a pity not to shoot them.
Wang Meng nodded and said, "Okay, you can get these two pieces done this year and study the ones later."
After saying that, he asked where to realize the dream special effects: "Where are you?"
Zhu Chengzhi, who realized his dream, said: "Director Wang, it was very controversial after the announcement of the project of "Kung Fu Panda" recently, and the response was very enthusiastic. We discussed and held a press conference for the opening of the Chinese New Year. Alas!"
As he said that, Zhu Chengzhi sighed and continued, "But? Director Wang, you know that the production cycle of this kind of cartoon is too long. We don't expect that we will have too much voice this year. We just want to complete it successfully next year. We are a little stressed."
Zhu Chengzhi's words represent the whole dream fulfillment.
Can such a large investment be without pressure?
At present, DreamWorks' biggest investment is that even Wang Mengfangyan has a box office of US$700 million.
but!
After all, it’s just a slander, not a real money.
So, although it has been announced, the project has been approved, and it has been preparing for half a month, I am still very nervous.
Wang Meng understood everyone's mood and said, "Pressure is also motivation. I believe you can do it. And haven't you found a few Hollywood deputy directors and crew members for you? They all have a lot of experience and can discuss it. There is no shortage of time, it depends on whether you dare and have confidence?"
Wang Meng's provocation made everyone blush.
Gu Gaoyi took the lead in saying, "Director Wang, we have the confidence to do it."
"Haha..." Wang Meng smiled: "That's good."
Ning Hao turned to look at the free and easy life of the old god, and said, "Does Director Ning have any plans?"
"Uh... call me?"
Ning Hao was stunned, obviously a little confused. He thought for a while and said, "Director Wang, I have a plan, but you know my work, and I need to think about it. I can't do as fast as you, Director Wang."
Ning Hao's production speed is just the normal speed, even much faster than a work like Stephen Chow's four years.
But it is far inferior to Wang Meng and other guys. Wang Meng almost has two works every year, and they are all large-scale productions, which cannot be compared.
Of course, there is another slower one, Urshan, who has decided to shoot the movie "Ghost Blows Out the Light".
Some time ago, Urshan told Wang Meng that filming will not start in July 2008, and now he is thinking about the layout of the script and the movie.
This made Wang Meng very distressed, what was there to think about?
However, Wang Meng did not write the script himself anymore. He had already passed the stage where he had to participate in everything. Now he had to let go and give the greatest freedom to these directors and let them conquer them themselves.
Otherwise, doing it yourself is definitely not a good idea.
Therefore, Wang Meng has been in a policy of stocking up recently, regardless of whether he is concerned, it depends on everyone's efforts.
Wang Meng believes that these guys in the last life will definitely be able to do this life. Besides, a healthy company is not something you do yourself.
So, nodded and didn't care.
This year, there are also "Lost in the Road" that Xu Zheng will film and Tsui Hark's "Die Renjie".
As for the rest, there is not yet, but DreamWorks won't miss it as long as there is a chance to have a good script.
Moreover, some time ago, the Screenwriter Association had already produced the first three scripts of the "Xu Xiake" series. Wang Meng watched it. It was very old-fashioned and belonged to the domestic 50-cent drama.
Wang Meng called him back and gave several suggestions based on his own ideas.
The Screenwriter Association attaches great importance to it. Now Wang Meng is a miracle in the screenwriter industry. He said that the script is not good, that is not good, and it is not good either.
Therefore, the screenwriters of the Screenwriters Association began new modifications based on the suggestions stated by Wang Meng, and tried to come up with a script that Wang Meng was satisfied with in the middle of the year. As long as it was done well, Wang Meng promised them - to be the director himself.
This promise made the group of people from the Screenwriters Association more enthusiastic. I heard from the president of the Screenwriters Association that many screenwriters have no plans to pass this year, just for Wang Meng’s promise and for a good script.
Wang Meng was very pleased with this.
