Chapter 694 Raising funds to beat Wang Meng!(1/2)

"Hello, Brother Fa, thank you for your hard work during this period." Wang Meng smiled at Brother Fa who was "old handsome" in front of him.

The two raised their glasses and touched them gently!

"It's not hard to say. You have to do things well after getting the money, and you have to work hard when you become an actor. However, when Director Wang will work together, we will not be too hard at all. "Brother Fa smiled.

"Haha...that's worth looking forward to!"

The final banquet of "Let the Bullets Fly" is a movie that Wang Meng values ​​very much, and with Jiang Wen's invitation, Wang Meng took the time to come to the final celebration!

Jiang Wen is a very stubborn director. After more than a year of hard work, he finally finished filming the movie "Let the Bullets Fly"!

Wang Meng has watched this movie many times in his previous life and admires Director Jiang Wen's ability.

Everyone, or every director, has his own strong personal style.

Jiang Wen is undoubtedly the leader. He can tell who made his movies at a glance?

There was a saying before, "If you don't have Wong Kar-wai's ability, don't have any dialogue literature?"

This sentence is also suitable for Jiang Wen. "Don't imitate Jiang Wen without the ability, because it will only cause a miserable situation!"

As a director with personality and Wang Meng's tolerance, Jiang Wen had fun this time, trying various choices and almost did everything according to his thoughts.

With the pay of major starring actors, the production cost of this film is as high as nearly 200 million yuan.

Compared with the original time and space, it is much higher.

Just a company like DreamWorks that can get a box office share of nearly 75%, ordinary small companies will never dare to try this.

Strictly speaking, Jiang Wen is an alternative, but this guy is still a bit worse than the national teacher.

Not to mention the movies of the national teacher, Europe and the United States can at least achieve good results.

Jiang Wen is different. He is more suitable for China. His movies are too difficult to understand. Even Chinese people sometimes cannot understand them. It is impossible for you to expect foreigners to understand them!

Therefore, Jiang Wen is very embarrassed in the Chinese director industry. He has no level or fame, but the output of his works is far from enough.

With that unusual personality, I know how to make money by making money, but I don’t like it. According to what he said, I don’t like it when I make money but I’m not happy, so I have to take pictures of myself, but... he is so happy that he doesn’t make money!

This is the embarrassing thing, with high cost, long shooting cycle, and quite uniqueness. This has led to Jiang Wen's movies not being liked by investors!

Although sometimes movie fans are looking forward to it!

To be honest, Wang Meng likes such directors very much? It’s not pretentious, but likes the persistence of such people!

What is literary style? What is a cool style? This is such a person, and domestic directors have maintained only two people, Jia Zhangke and Jiang Wen.

Even Jia Zhangke later changed his adaptation to the times, but this guy did not change his original intention!

Wang Meng is different. He also likes Fan Jue, but he knows the standard is there! He also knows that being high and superior is the only way to pursue art!

He had clear resolution, for example, when he was in "The Legend of A Niu", he knew that this was a literary and artistic movie, so he had rigorous thinking from planning to project establishment to promotion.

Including finding memories of the times, including big discussions online, and insights into the camera, etc.!

At that time, he was the most literary moment and his favorite movie he has made so far.

And it's different at this moment, even when "Jurassic World" was filmed!

What are the movies of Transformers and Jurassic World?

It's a commercial science fiction movie!

Commercial science fiction movies must have the purity of commercial films. Those who cannot get sick must be literary and artistic. That will only be inappropriate. For details, please refer to "Wuji"!

Wang Meng thinks he is very good at this! He knows the two sides of things and knows what kind of works have what styles!

Just now, Jiang Wen came here to toast Wang Meng with three glasses of wine and said to Wang Meng: "Brother, I have a great photo shoot, thank you!"

Jiang Wen is not stupid. He knows that his shooting cycle is long and his continuous increase in costs, which has made DreamWorks very disgusted!

It was Wang Meng who suppressed everything and strong support that made him complete it successfully!

Don’t think that Jiang Wen is such an awesome director. You investor dare to find trouble. I will shoot whatever I want. At worst, I will stop doing it!

That's definitely not the case!

Remember, when the director and the producer have conflicts, 90% of the directors are the directors, and the remaining 10% are resolved by both parties.

Even if he is Stephen Spielberg, even if he is James Cameron, even if he is the national teacher and the little cannon...

All the same!

Everything was decided long ago when you signed the contract. If you overspend or the shooting cycle exceeded, it would only be the director's fault. Regardless of the investor's business, the director's fault is legally wrong, so you can imagine it!

In addition, there are also reputation and public opinion considerations. Maybe I have heard of directors who have conflicts with investors! But have you seen several directors who don’t shoot halfway through?

This will have a well-known blow to the director's fame, and will also make other producers beat you, the director, to an unjust side! Don't like to work with such a director, which indicates that the director's career has come to an end!

Of course, there must be some people who changed directors in the middle, but they were all unbearable and the two sides could not continue to cooperate.

Moreover, such directors are generally not well-known and new directors.

It is possible for a big director! The producers are not afraid of trouble, and the big directors also care about their reputation! So generally speaking, the director compromises!

This is a common problem for all countries in the world, and it is definitely not just our country!

So after hearing Jiang Wen's words, Wang Meng was a little relieved. At least he knew his kindness, and this was the harvest.

If you can't be so persistent, then let's help someone who is so persistent?

Very poor is a thought!

Besides, is DreamWorks afraid of losing money for a movie?

I'm really not afraid, the funds are too rich.

Others don’t know, but many friends who are familiar with Wang Meng know that in addition to the open Dream Factory Film and Television Company, Dream Factory Peak Entertainment, Dream Chasing Video, Dream Realization Special Effects, Dream Marvel, Dream Chasing Media, Wanhua Cinemas Co., Ltd., Sunday Theme Park Co., Ltd., etc.

A few years ago, many of Wang Meng's Internet investments have been very powerful now, almost better than his apparent value!

After 2000, what companies can achieve capital myths?

Wang Meng doesn’t know anything else, but he knows that the Internet is a dark horse that cannot be avoided?

In his previous life, he knew that Tencent, Alibaba, and Baidu were all giants with a market value of more than US$200 billion in the future. These are the three giants, and others have many Internet industries with a market value of more than US$10 billion!

So, he had invested in these big bull shares a long time ago.

Although he never mentioned or participated, his shares were not at all.

Director is his best career, and he will not give up.

But... giving yourself an extra way out is an experience summed up by countless time travelers. As the lucky Wang Meng, he naturally knew it!

In short, I don’t lack money, so I’m not afraid of Jiang Wen’s movie losing money! I can afford it!

...

Worshiping and having fun, Wang Meng had a close-up dinner with big names at the full set of music dinner.

"Director Wang, I have worked with DreamWorks many times. When will we cooperate with the two industries?" Carina Lau raised her glass to Wang Meng with her charming steps!

That's true. Since Di Renjie, Carina Lau has worked with DreamWorks. Since then, many of the DreamWorks have invested in and produced by Carina Lau, and they are also considered familiars!

"Sister Jialing knows what routines my movies are!" Wang Meng said with a wry smile!

"Haha!" Carina Lau laughed when she heard this!

"Yes! Do you know? Do you do this? How many Chinese entertainment actresses are so depressed that they can't sleep?" Carina Lau teased.

Wang Meng's recent routine is very obvious, except for Zhou Xun, Li Bingbing and others at the beginning. Since then, Wang Meng's commercial blockbusters have all been male leads, Chinese, and European and American.

This made countless actresses who wanted to work with Wang Meng extremely sad!

Wang Meng even saw a funny report, which was said by Wang Meng's confidante, Mr. Zhou.

The title is - "Fundraising to beat Wang Meng! Wang Hua Entertainment actress signs up to participate!"

It sounds like an unintentional interview. On that day, Mr. Zhou was interviewed by a Chinese reporter and mentioned Wang Meng's push to the world.

Zhou Xun said in a low-key manner: "I really hope Director Wang praises me again. Now my popularity has dropped significantly!" In fact, it is a compliment!

The reporter asked: "You are Director Wang's friend. I believe this request will be satisfied, right?"

Zhou Xun: "Don't mention it. Now Director Wang only uses foreign actresses. No matter how good we are in China, we don't need them. It's quite hateful!"

"What should I do?" asked the reporter!

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "So, I plan to hold an event called "Fundraising to beat Wang Meng, I hope the Chinese entertainment actresses will participate"!"

Just this joke became popular after being reported. Netizens looked fun, so they reprinted it one after another. It was very popular online during this period!

What’s even funny is that some people attribute this report to “Public Welfare Report”!

After watching Wang Meng, he was a little speechless!

Afterwards, countless actresses supported and participated. At first, they were Wang Meng's acquaintances, but later, in order to show off, the famous actresses were more and more arrogant than the other!

Because, Wang Meng won’t be angry!

Not saying yet:——"Maybe Director Wang saw it?"

So……
