Chapter 684 of 1982, have a drink(1/2)
"At this speed, I promise to complete it at the end of the year. It will depend on your special effects at that time." Feng Xiaogang said.
In September, everything was on track, Wang Meng thought so.
At least, no matter whether it is Yang Ying or Xiao Jiang, she is no longer indifferent to him. Xiao Jiang, who once refused to let him go, finally stopped driving Wang Meng out of bed. In addition, Yang Ying's changes are not small, and it is okay for Wang Meng to ask her out to sit there occasionally when she has time.
On September 6, Wang Meng came to the crew of "Spider-Man" and took a look at the recent progress.
In the evening, I discussed the recent situation with Feng Xiaogang. As Feng Xiaogang said, the film "Spider-Man" can be completed at the end of the year. As for the later special effects production, it depends on DreamWorks!
"I feel at ease when you do things. I took a general look at the quality of the shooting and it felt very good." Wang Meng replied.
Feng Xiaogang smiled and said, "We are still professional. If you don't say anything else, you give me such a movie and such a big investment, if I don't do it well and don't say that I can't get through it, I can't even explain it to you, right?"
Immediately, I smiled and said, "Haha, I don't know if I don't make such a big movie. It turns out that I am also a newcomer. It's very different from the movies I made before?"
"Why are the difference?" Wang Meng asked with a smile.
"Hey! Don't you know yet?" Feng Xiaogang said: "Just let's talk about the overall control. Many of our movies did have special effects before. I don't deny this. But what are the special effects at that time? I can only say it is the embellishment after the filming!
"This time it's different. Some plots are all special effects plots. What does this belong to?" Feng Xiaogang asked?
"This is the special effect!" After saying that, I couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Meng is like a listener, without saying anything or expressing his opinions, just listening to his views.
"It was the first time I really admired a Chinese director after watching your "Jurassic World". It was completely correct for your use of special effects to reach world-class. As for the same sentence, I used to fool people in filming movies. This time I benefited a lot from filming. This is the highest level of special effects! Not to mention that I will go to your studio for shooting next time. When you filmed "Jurassic World", I was amazed when I first went to watch it, and then I was jealous! Haha... I didn't expect that I had such an opportunity. Although it seemed very troublesome, but? I was not afraid of trouble, because I know that after this filming this time, it was no less than my first time as a director, because I felt that I had made too much progress. It was a change from one level to another! This is what I said, why should I face this movie with a cautious attitude. Hehe... To be honest, I came with an apprenticeship, and I also came to steal the teacher!"
"Haha!" Wang Meng smiled after hearing this.
I thought it was rare, it seemed that it had changed a lot, and Feng Dapao had become like this!
"This is still in terms of special effects! In addition, through your team, I have seen what efficiency is! What is professionalism is! What is attitude! In a word, your DreamWorks is the top team!"
Wang Meng understood Feng Xiaogang's excitement and his thoughts.
This year is the year of transformation of Chinese films, and it can also be said to be the year with the biggest transformation.
From now on, the film industry will slowly enter a glorious period, and the reproduction of films is even more diverse, unlike the previous art supremacy. Since then, many types such as comedy adventures are the favorites of the audience.
For example, after "Journey to the West" and "Lost in Thailand", when the box office of the movie reaches more than 1 billion yuan, Chinese movies have changed, and becoming the box office is the biggest indicator worth showing off!
Of course, there are two views on whether this is good or bad.
Some people think that the movie is not good, because it is all special effects and fresh meat to drive the box office, making the quality of the movie become vulgar.
This vulgarity is not a decline in the picture, but a decline in the content.
Some people also think that the movie is good, and many people don’t like to watch so-called literary and artistic movies. The special effects scenes are the favorites. Since then, the movie scenes and special effects are gathered together, so they like to watch movies.
The reason for these two changes is not the change in movies? It is the fan!
Or the changes in the movie are caused by the love of movie fans.
Previously, for example, everyone envies foreign movies for good special effects, and hates Chinese movies for their darkness, or they are literary and artistic movies that ordinary people cannot understand.
Now? The film market has met everyone's requirements and has become a movie with large-scale special effects. What about movie fans? They say that this is not good and has no meaning and has become vulgar.
Remember, not every movie is classic.
How many movies are there in the whole world with wonderful special effects and good content? It's really a bit harsh.
Chinese movies have been changing, just because there is a gap between them compared with others, or Hollywood.
This gap does not mean that you can keep up with it by working hard. If you work hard, others are working hard.
The Chinese film industry after 2010 is developing correctly.
The film industry has become more exciting and has become more diverse, so that it can change more advancedly from the previous literature and art to the current special effects.
Simply put, it is the second step on the road to progress. Can you not take this step? It is impossible!
Since this is the case, Wang Meng seems very pleased that anything is from nothing to something, from something to prosperity. After prosperity to the peak, it breaks through one level.
The previous literary and artistic supremacy and reflecting the darkness of China are the first steps in Chinese films on these two themes.
Gradually, no one likes to watch it, and they are tired of watching it, so the current movies are commercial and box office top, which is the combination of special effects and idols we see now.
Don't think it's bad?!
The current situation will eventually reach the peak of the previous literature and art, and then the end. At that time, the market, or movie fans like to watch movies with connotation and quality, and this demand continues to grow, and another breakthrough in Chinese films will come.
Wang Meng has experienced the end of the supremacy of Chinese literary and artistic film art, and now it has finally arrived at the arrival of commercial films.
In 2010, it was at this moment that the giant steps of the film market began.
After hearing Feng Xiaogang's sigh, Wang Meng also sighed!
From his perspective, he is a little proud. Because the changes in Chinese films have played a significant role.
If it is a metaphor for Chinese movies to be rockets, Wang Meng is the existence of a booster.
The movie changes here start with him. Then he influenced some people and in addition to some people.
The people who influenced him were imitating him. Wang Meng's movies were imitated by people. Of course, like "Jurassic World", it could not be imitated, only countless people could do nothing!
Before "Jurassic World" was released, countless Wang Meng's "followers" were very excited because imitation is their profession. Many of the new directors who have risen in recent years have risen by imitating Wang Meng.
There are more and more new directors who say "Wang Meng is the best mentor" now, and they may have felt embarrassed before.
But it was very different after the first crab appeared!
Maybe he is a person with a bottom line and a conscience. He is very axie and stubborn!
Others blatantly imitated Wang Meng, but they didn't dare to admit it, feeling that they would be abandoned if they admitted it.
This very stubborn and stubborn person, who was unable to get over his conscience, made preparations for being hit - he imitated Wang Meng, who was like his mentor!
Unexpectedly! He was not criticized, but was praised, saying that he was brave and that he was the hope of the future director world!
that's all……
A bravery and a conscience discovery made him. It also made many grand, proud and proud people later said: - Wang Meng is my mentor, I am imitating his xx works!
From the youth campus stream of "Your Deskmate", to the magic stream of "Painted Skin", to the soft science fiction stream of "Butterfly Effect", and even Wang Meng's science fiction genre! Many movies have been born out of imitation!
This is a group of people influenced by Wang Meng. The emergence of these people played a crucial role in the prosperity of Chinese films a few years ago!
Wang Meng also changed a group of people, such as Tsui Hark, Chen Kexin, Urshan, Feng Xiaogang, etc.
Wang Meng changed the life trajectory of these people, making them play a great role in changing Chinese films.
So, Wang Meng is proud.
Through him, through DreamWorks, he changed the progress of Chinese films!
Another crucial aspect is that Wang Meng is proud of. That is, DreamWorks has had a strong distribution capability over the years, covering the influence of the world.
It is very simple to be objective and simple to publish a movie, or publish a record!
Distribution is the biggest problem. Sometimes a large company watches not production capabilities, but distribution capabilities.
In addition, issuance capabilities are also crucial for whether a company can prosper.
Because, even if your company cannot produce good movies, you can still make money by relying on your strong distribution capabilities.
The share ratio of Chinese movies, don’t watch DreamWorks to get nearly 80%. or even more!
Because this is the strong release of DreamWorks has been obtained.
For ordinary companies, 25% is amazing.
Yes, you read that right. You worked hard to make a movie and you got 25 yuan for a box office of 100 yuan. For small companies, you can be happy.
Not only do small companies say they are issued, but some don’t even have the right to release them?
What's the meaning?
It’s just that you have shot it but can’t get the right to release it. Simply put, just take it and watch it yourself. It’s impossible to let movie fans see it!
Only after the release is the distribution ability. A company that has the ability to issue is a powerful company, because you can't get this issuance license for ordinary people!
After issuance, there is a strong distribution capability. This is the difference between heaven and earth.
In general companies, they have distribution capabilities! But it doesn’t matter if you don’t have channels. Maybe your movie can only be released in one province or even one city. In this way, how many box offices can you get!?
DreamWorks is different, not to mention that it almost covers the distribution capabilities of the entire Asia. Just talking about the peak, Wang Meng previously valued the peak, saying that it has many good works in the future and can only rank second, and the distribution capabilities are ranked first.
It was just North America before, but now Europe and the United States are almost all covered. With the financial support of DreamWorks, the issuances around the world are now extremely powerful!
Therefore, in addition to Proud Dream Factory's promotion of Chinese films, Wang Meng also attaches great importance to its strong distribution capabilities!
Never give up expanding issuance capabilities in recent years is a testimony!
Strong issuance capabilities are the strongest guarantee for a company.
The movie is good, that is to strengthen it, so make money!
And...even if the movie is not of good quality, it also makes money after adding strong distribution capabilities. This is the foundation!
It should also be noted that companies with strong issuance capabilities will inevitably have strong publicity channels and are as powerful as the surrounding coverage.
In this way, everyone will understand, not only that, but also understand where DreamWorks is powerful?
Many people’s first feeling is that Wang Mengli is a big company!
