Chapter 378 Explosion Madman
"Do you guys have anything to understand?"
Wang Meng asked the two.
Seeing the two of them keep listening to the explanation and recording, Wang Meng knew that they were taking on this role, otherwise, they wouldn't be so cautious.
"Director Wang, oh, it's incredible. Really, I like this script very much. I just want to ask, you set the source of Morpheus. Can you tell me? I'm very curious." Lawrence asked.
"Actually, the two should have discovered that this is not simple science fiction, but also philosophical exploration and religious exploration. "David Fincher's World tells a private and imaginary world, which is very classic. He puts the real world into a box similar to TV. So I am here to propose an assumption, 'When you wake up every morning, is the sleepy person in the mirror really you? Do you have an inexplicable sense of emptiness? Are the facts you know are real? Everything will be revealed slowly...
In 1860, under the imagination of British writer Lewis Carlo, the curious Alice fell into a graceful and magical dream world while chasing the rabbit. In "The Matrix", Neo, who suspected that there was something wrong with the world, followed a sexy girl with a tattoo of a little white rabbit, and since then she was out of control and walked into the real desert...
In Greek mythology, Morpheus is a dream god and has the ability to change dreams. In the movie, Morpheus is the guide who awakens people from the dreamlike illusion world."
Wang Meng explained to Lawrence and briefly explained his opinion based on his experience. "Lawrence, my setting for Morpheus is a guide. He may be a dream, a god, or a non-existent virtual. Who knows? It depends on your understanding."
Lawrence nodded after hearing this.
In fact, Morpheus is such an existence. Whether it is a great guide or an illusion that does not exist, it depends entirely on everyone's understanding.
He also said to the thoughtful Scarlett: "Tritini's setting is also related to mythological stories. Tritini (Tsing Nity) means "Tritini". In Christianity, "Tritini" refers to the Holy Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the foundational work of modern psychology, "Tritini" refers to the female consciousness, and she can enter a mysterious territory and a perfect state. This is the source of Trititini's creation. Of course, as for the character's personality that is not like this, you need to understand it yourself."
The two of them pondered for a long time.
Lawrence and Scarlett looked at each other, and Scarlett said, "Wang, I decided to take on this role, I hope you can agree."
The final tone is different. After all, Wang Meng is the director and producer. The two of them naturally have changed from being curious about their roles to being unabandoned now.
"I'm very happy with your choice. To be honest, I never thought about the auditions of actors. It's just for you. I'm very happy with your decision. I hope we can work happily."
“Happy cooperation.”
“It’s a great honor.”
The next job was the agent's business. Scarlett's agent and Lawrence's agent began to negotiate with the top Danny. In the end, the two won two roles for a pay of 16 million yuan.
Scarlett was $12 million and Lawrence was $4 million.
Wang Meng was very heartbroken after signing the contract. Hollywood stars really spent a lot of money.
In the end, the two decided to gather at the Chinese Magic City within a week. The opening ceremony was set in the Magic City and the premiere was set in the United States.
In order to take care of the two box office bases, Wang Meng had no choice but to make a decision like this.
As for other actors, including Agent Smith, Prophet, Evil Master, Martial Arts Master, etc., those characters are simple. At worst, China cannot choose the right one, and you can continue to look for them from Hollywood.
After getting it all done, Scarlett suddenly asked, "Wang, how do you think of me? You know, there are many martial arts action scenes, and I don't seem to be suitable for me?"
Scarlett was right. She is not the Black Widow in the future. She is not good at acting scenes now.
Wang Meng shrugged and said, "I don't know many Hollywood actresses, and don't underestimate yourself. I think you can do it. Are you not confident in yourself?"
"Oh, I didn't say that. To be honest, I like challenges very much. I think I will become a good action actress." Scarlett smiled confidently.
"Sure." Wang Meng said.
...
After saying goodbye to the two, Wang Meng thought about how to promote it. Wang Meng was not worried about the promotion in China. But the opening ceremony was held in China, so I was afraid that the United States would not know about it?
However, Danny dispelled Wang Meng's concerns and said that he underestimated Scarlett's fame and his own. Besides, no one dared to underestimate the 80 million US dollar investment, unless he was a fool.
Wang Meng thought about it, too. Now the era of blockbusters has not officially arrived. A work that invested 80 million US dollars will be paid attention to. Not to mention the co-production of China and the United States, the popular actress Scarlett and her own franchise.
Let’s talk about “Kung Fu Panda”. After the announcement in the country, the United States is still very surprised.
Many media have reported on this matter.
And Danny said that if Wang Meng wants to believe in his abilities, even if no one knows, he will promote everyone, and it is nothing more than spending money.
Wang Meng thought so, as long as she spent money, she would not be afraid that no one would pay attention.
After that, Wang Meng went to the crew of "Twilight" which had already started filming.
The crew was very serious about the nominal producer visiting him. It seemed that the Americans were cynical but a little rigorous, and they showed it to the fullest.
Director Catherine reported to Wang Meng very seriously about the crew situation.
Originally, Wang Meng wanted to see more.
But Christine's eyes made Wang Meng feel a little uncomfortable, so let's take it away.
But? Wang Meng is a bit incredible?
Didn’t it mean that Christine fell in love with the male lead because of "Twilight"? No matter how you look at the two of you, Christine seemed to ignore the male lead Robert Pattinson.
Wang Meng is very puzzled? Is he so charming?
After leaving, Wang Meng recruited ten Hollywood members with 3D shooting experience in three days, including associate director Michael Bay.
A director who was unlucky in this life failed consecutively from Pearl Harbor to Escape from Clones, especially "Escape from Clones" and suffered a big blow.
Originally, he would direct "Transformers" in 2007, but this life's Transformers were controlled by Marvel, which led to Michael Bay's chance to fight back in the Jedi.
Wang Meng knows the character of this explosion crazier very well, and he came to him, saying that he hopes to get the right to adapt the movie "Transformers" and hopes that DreamWorks will invest.
Wang Meng received a call from Michael Bei half a year ago, and this guy was fooled by a bombardment.
Wang Meng was surprised when she heard this. Unexpectedly, Michael Bei was still optimistic about "Transformers" like this. It seems that the inertia of history is really great.
Wang Meng agreed to consider it.
After all, Wang Meng still wants to shoot it by herself. But now she has other ideas, so she will bring in this explosion crazier who has not been optimistic about recently. At that time, at most, she will be able to jointly provide guidance.
Anyway, this guy is unlucky recently, no one is looking for him, so if he doesn't cheat anyone?
It just so happens that he lacks the experience of such top blockbusters, Michael Bay is not lacking. The $1.4 billion "Pearl Island" and $12.2 billion "Escape from the Clone Island" are all big productions. He is also known as a "professional blockbuster".
This guy is not short of experience, it's a coincidence.
So, after Wang Meng's temptation, Michael Bei was fooled by Wang Meng.
By chance, the heroine of "Escape from the Clone Island" is Scarlett Johnson.
When he heard that the heroine was Scarlett, Michael Bey was a little hesitant and finally blushed and said he was afraid of failure again. After all, the last time the two of them collaborated was scolded by the Hollywood Reporter and the media.
A little scared.
Fortunately, Wang Meng also fooled her. After reading the script, Michael Bei went crazy.
Damn, there is such a good script? You have to participate. The assistant director is also a director, right? Michael Bay thinks this way.
In this way, the absolute great director of the future, the current unlucky guy, was fooled by Wang Meng onto the pirate ship.
It also includes many of the top talents Michael Bei knew, all of whom were summoned by Wang Meng, who felt very lucky.
However, a few days later, the news leaked, and it was also intentional news revealed.
result……
Wang Meng was still worried that no one would pay attention to it. That was OK, Hollywood media went crazy.
Because Scarlett and Michael Bay started to cooperate again. The media thought to themselves - Damn, it seems that they have been scolded lightly and dare to cooperate again, even though the director is Wang Meng.
So! No matter whether his movie is good or not, I will scold you first.
This led to the fact that he was surrounded by reporters in front of Dingfeng Entertainment.
Wang Meng was overwhelmed and had to give a brief explanation and announce his thoughts.
It's very vague. After all, it has not been officially announced yet, so I can only vaguely express that it has this meaning.
The next day, the American media reported the news.
