The next day.

After last night's overnight manuscript, the domestic media industry occupied everyone's attention early in the morning.

"Wang Meng and his new work assistant director Michael Bay arrived in the Magic City early this morning. According to the interview with our reporter, Wang Meng determined the theme of the next work, the name of the film "The Matrix", and a science fiction action film. It is understood that Wang Meng's new work will be a big investment, and the heroine is determined to be the popular Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, and the supporting actor is the well-known black actor in Hollywood. The deputy director has the role of "professional blockbuster" and "explosion maniac" who claims to be Michael Bay..." -.

"Wang Meng's new work was officially announced and will meet you in the near future. It is expected to invest more than 50 million US dollars. It will continue the theme of science fiction, and the name of the film is "The Matrix"..."

"Meng Ge's new work will be released, and it is still as exciting as science fiction. The difference is that it will cooperate with Hollywood. It is predicted that the male lead may be Meng Ge himself. I am looking forward to it. The female lead is the powerful Hollywood actress Scarlett Johansson, and the supporting actor is the black movie star Lawrence. The drama tells the story that the famous Hong Kong martial arts director Yuan Heping will be responsible for this martial arts coach." - Netizen.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time, and finally the project was established. I heard that Hollywood's reports were unanimous and unfavorable. I can only say that Hollywood reporters are thinking too much. Haha..."

The news always spreads quickly. Last night's brief interview was passed on after processing.

But Wang Meng was struggling with one thing: whether to attend the 2008 Oscars that will begin.

To be honest, although the box office of "Painted Skin" is very high, the voices are also a bit loud. But it is not just a little loud. Oscars need to be operated and require a lot of money to operate.

Chacha, Wang Meng is not working.

In addition, the commercial films are too strong, and the probability of winning is less than 10%.

So, Wang Meng hesitated and did not want to attend the award ceremony.

However, if you don’t go, I’m sorry for the expectations of the fans. Everyone supports you. If you don’t even come here, the fans will definitely be unhappy.

However, Wang Meng doesn't like studying with the prince.

If you remember correctly, this year's Osk Best Foreign Language Film Award was won by Austria and Germany's co-producer "Operation Bernard", which is also a popular choice.

Wang Meng’s idea is that she hopes to make “The Matrix” well and participate in it openly next year. No one dares to underestimate herself at that time.

I originally decided, but I didn't want to go.

What can you do!

Scarlett is going to go as an award presenter. Recently, Michael Bei, a sensational figure, was also invited by the organizing committee. Wang Meng couldn't go. She could only go there once.

Fortunately, the award ceremony will be held on February 28, and there will be more than ten days left.

What Wang Meng has to do now is to select the actors as soon as possible. Lawrence, Scarlett and Yuan Heping are all here, and the brief training should be carried out as soon as possible.

When Lawrence and Scarlett came to China, they were startled by the enthusiastic reporters.

Lawrence didn't expect that he was so popular. Scarlett was almost so popular. Shouldn't he be so popular?

It was not until I asked the service staff that I realized that no matter how awesome the foreign stars are, they are useless unless they are at the superstar level.

The reason why it is so sensational is entirely because the director is Wang Meng, and Wang Meng's reputation in the mainland was unexpected by Lawrence.

After a daze, Lawrence realized that he had underestimated the young director. His popularity in China is almost no less than Tom Hanks' popularity in the United States.

Because Wang Meng's physical fitness is different from that of ordinary people, she has only a few experiences in action scenes such as action scenes that are no less than ordinary action stars.

This led to Wang Meng not training with Scarlett and the others.

These days, Wang Meng has pulled Michael Bay and searched everywhere for scenes that can be used as a shooting location.

"Michael, I hope you can do it well in the explosion scenes and gunfights in the play?"

In the DreamWorks conference room, Wang Meng gathered the main staff of "The Matrix" to introduce the crew members brought from the United States and began a tense division of labor.

For Michael Bay, the bomb maniac, the shooting and explosion scenes of "The Matrix" belong to pediatrics.

"Don't worry, director, I'm fine." Michael Bay said.

Although Michael Bay is very famous at this moment, Wang Meng cannot compare with him.

However, due to the failure of two consecutive works, many people are not optimistic about him.

Even when it comes to mentioning him now, he feels that it is a symbol of failure.

Coupled with the public opinion storm these days, Michael Bay has been holding his breath.

As for the reason, I have to talk about the big fool Wang Meng.

Wang Meng secretly gave him a look at the script of "The Matrix - Reloading" and said: "As long as the first part is successful, he will be directed by the second part or even the third part, and it will be guaranteed to be sufficient funds."

Michael Bay completely surrendered, which was the capital to make a comeback. As long as the first part was successful, the ones that followed were all his own food.

Moreover, participating in the first part personally will help the continuity behind it.

That's it, an international director, who was fooled by Wang Meng, became an assistant director.

However, there is another thing that made Michael Bay very happy, because Wang Meng prepared quite well, and the special effects, including the mold making, were all done well. Yesterday, the two discussed the setting of the ruins of the city and took the Dream Special Effects for a day.

"Kevin, the 3D camera will be here tomorrow, and you need to see it at that time." Wang Meng said to the photographer with 3D experience found from Hollywood.

"No problem, leave it to me." Kevin said.

If you have a specialized profession, you will leave professional issues to professionals. This is always Wang Meng's style, and it is most taboo to lay people to guide their experts.

"Director Wang, I think the actors should be selected first so that we can announce them earlier. You know, movie fans are looking forward to it." Zhang Lantian thought to himself.

Wang Meng has only focused on preparations these days, but the actors have not been selected yet. Zhang Lantian is very anxious about this.

Wang Meng nodded after hearing this, but in fact, someone had already chosen it.

Agent Smith needs to find a white actor.

Tanks need to find someone with a tough guy, Wang Meng thinks Zhang Hanyu is very suitable, but this guy just got the Golden Horse Actor Award, and I don’t know if he has time and how he pays.

As for the betrayers among the supporting roles, Wang Meng favored Sun Honglei very much. It is easy to say that there are only one supporting role in the few supporting roles, and this one also needs to have the skills to move, which makes Wang Meng very embarrassed.

Among the actors, there is no experience in action scenes. It’s not good to find Li Bingbing. Wang Meng has seen Li Bingbing’s performance in "Resident Evil 5" in his previous life. The gunfight and action scenes are OK. You can book.

Anyway, Wang Meng never thought about auditions. After all, time does not allow it, so you need to hurry up.

I wouldn't have been so anxious, what can I do?

It was exposed by Hollywood, and due to Michael and Scarlett, he had to become a big deal and he had to choose an actor as soon as possible.

The original version of Agent Smith is a very important actor. Hugo Weiwen performed well in the last life, so why don’t you continue to look for him? Anyway, he will be like that in this life? Wang Meng was thinking.

"Do you know Hugo Weiwen?" Wang Meng said to Hollywood members and Michael.

"Wang, are you talking about Hugo Weiwen who has performed in "V-word Vendetto" and "Lord of the Rings"?" Michael said.

"Yes, it's him." Wang Meng knew that this guy knew him as soon as he saw Michael's appearance.

"I heard Peter Johnson talk about this person, saying that he has a very potential actor. If you think it's appropriate, I can contact him. I don't think he will refuse." Michael said, as for "he" he is talking about Hugo Weiwen.

"Okay, leave it to Michael. You know this character, it's very important. I hope he can perform well." Wang Meng.

"Okay, I'll contact you later. I think you will meet Mr. Hugo the day after tomorrow." Michael.

Wang Meng nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, gentlemen, that's it, let's leave it to you. I will select all the actors within three days. Michael and Kevin hope you two can do a good job."

"no problem."

"Don't worry."

The two expressed their confidence. After the meeting ended, Wang Meng found Wu Juan and asked her to contact Li Bingbing, Zhang Hanyu and Sun Honglei.

After all, Wang Meng thought it was very suitable for the three of them. There was nothing to say about acting skills, and the few people had experience in action scenes.

As for the remaining supporting roles, we need to find some white and black actors to join in, so as to achieve the goal of nominal struggle between all mankind and mechanical.

Unlike the original version, whites and blacks are fighting against machinery, and yellow people are nothing at all.
