Chapter 150 The Journey of "The Good Man in Three Gorges"
Jia Zhangke called and "The Good People in Three Gorges" was completed.
During the entire filming of "The Good People in Three Gorges", Wang Meng went to watch it for less than four or five times. Not only did he have full trust in Jia Zhangke, but he was also very busy.
In late August, Jia Zhangke returned to the Magic City Dream Factory, and the post-production time took less than half a month.
However, Jia Zhangke decided to cut out a hardcover version first, because the 63rd Venice International Film Festival will open on August 30th, until the closing on September 9th and the awards will be presented on September 10th.
In order not to affect the exhibition of "The Good People in the Three Gorges", Jia Zhangke has been working hard to eat and sleep lately.
At the same time, after receiving Wang Meng's instructions, DreamWorks increased its power to start the production of the late stage.
During the editing, Wang Meng also participated.
After all, he now knows it better than Jia Zhangke.
When Wang Meng watched "The Good Man in Three Gorges" won the award several times in his previous life.
Now, those shots are still deeply hidden in your mind, so Jia Zhangke can avoid many detours.
As for "You, My Deskmate", Wang Meng is also preparing.
After talking about his plan, Wang Meng habitually handed it over to Wang Peng. Ning Hao happened to be idle recently, and the two shared the preliminary planning work of "You, My Deskmate".
Wang Meng and Jia Zhangke devoted themselves to the later stage of "The Good People in Three Gorges".
Until August 23, the exhibition version of "The Good People in Three Gorges" was completed.
During this period, Jia Zhangke felt incredible about Wang Meng’s spiritual connection with him.
Sometimes, I am worried about how to delete the camera, and Wang Meng can point out where to delete it and where to not move it.
Therefore, Wang Meng pretended a little and received Jia Zhangke's admiration.
DreamWorks is not familiar with the film's related events to participate in the Venice International Film Festival. Fortunately, Jia Zhangke is very familiar with it and is still a regular visitor.
With the help of Yu Dong and Sanye, "The Good People in Three Gorges" was finally not missed before the final registration for the exhibition.
I had enough time in my previous life, but because of the butterfly effect in this life, I almost failed to catch the last bus.
Of course, this is also sufficient funds, and Jia Zhangke has been much more careful.
The plot has not changed, and the exquisiteness of the picture has been greatly improved.
On the 28th, Wang Meng and Jia Zhangke were interviewed by reporters and rushed to Italy on August 29th, and were very busy.
At nine o'clock in the morning on the 28th, nearly thirty reporters came.
Reporter: "Director Wang, can you tell me what kind of movie "The Good People in the Three Gorges" is?"
Wang Meng has become very famous recently, and a classic turnaround battle some time ago has made many reporters remember it fresh.
This led to reporters not doing things as recklessly as before.
No, I asked Wang Meng about the gossip some time ago when I came up, but I asked Wang Meng to tell me the story structure of "The Good People in Three Gorges".
"Please tell everyone about this." Wang Meng threw the topic to Jia Zhangke.
After all, the director is the most familiar.
Moreover, I have already gained a lot of money, so I can't squeeze Jia Zhangke with "enoughness" to "press".
Even Jia Zhangke is still grateful.
Jia Zhangke was grateful for Wang Meng's actions and briefly told the structure of the story.
"Director Wang, many Chinese films participated in the Venice International Film Festival this year. What do you think? And "The Good Man in Three Gorges" is the last bus. Do you have confidence in this award?"
Wang Meng thought about it and said: "The Good People in Three Gorges is indeed the last bus, but I am very confident in this film. Of course, no one is sure to win the award. Is participation a victory? All reporters know that DreamWorks is a young film and television company, and we hope to participate more in such a grand event to improve our horizons..."
Immediately, I said: "As for many Chinese-language films participating in the Venice International Film Festival this year, I am pleased that this shows the progress of our Chinese-language films. Moreover, I feel that this year is the year when our Chinese-language films are received, haha... good hope..."
What Wang Meng didn’t say is absolutely true, but the reporters can think of it!
——"Wang Meng is optimistic about the Chinese-language film team of this year's Venice International Film Festival..."
——"Wang Meng expressed full confidence in "The Good People in Three Gorges"..."
——"…”
Reporter: "Director Wang, some people say that you have now entered the ranks of top domestic stars. What do you think?"
Sure enough, after a few of you and I, everyone’s good things, the reporters finally started doing private work.
But these reporters don't know...
"The Good People in Three Gorges" will become the pride of Chinese filmmakers this year.
When the news of the award was heard back, these reporters regretted it now!
Many journalists were even dismissed by newspapers because they were irresponsible.
These are later stories.
Now, it is really hard to answer if Wang Meng is a top star.
When it comes to fame, Wang Meng is now slapped in the face some time ago, and with the popularity of "Struggle" at this moment, her fame is considered to be the fame of a top star.
The director's identity and company boss seem to have achieved its strength.
But it’s better not to admit this. It’s purely a grudge against the reporter and want to dig a hole for himself.
They said they were arrogant before, but they did not have any real evidence.
Even if you have it, you can also say that you have confidence in your works.
Now that I dare to admit that I am a top star, that is a fool.
So I had to perfunctory: "I don't know what the standard is this top star? I definitely can't meet it. I never thought about these ideas without asking about the reporter's friends. The only thing I can do now is to make every work carefully, and the rest will be viewed by the audience."
Reporter: "Director Wang, can you reveal the plan for the next work you mentioned some time ago?"
Wang Mengxiao said: "This has been decided. I will tell you at that time. I can only say it is a youth-themed movie. The name of the movie is "You, the deskmate", which is the name of the first song I created."
It would be better for Wang Meng to take advantage of this to promote it first, at least it is half-covered and half-covered.
"Director Wang, can you disclose it in detail?"
"Director Wang, is it a new type?"
"Director Wang, can you tell me the plot?"
After Wang Mengyi said this, the reporters were curious in an instant. If they found first-hand news, the bonus would be the most realistic.
For a moment, the reporter enthusiastically snatched questions.
"Silent, all the reporters are the promotional meeting of "The Good People in the Three Gorges". Other issues will not be disclosed. "You, the Deskmate" will be held when the filming is started. Director Wang will meet everyone's requirements at that time. Now please cooperate with all the reporters and friends." Zhang Lantian quickly picked up the microphone to stop the "crazy" reporters.
The reporters made a fuss for a while, and saw that Wang Meng did not say anything, so they had to give up.
Half an hour later, I asked a brief question about "The Good People in Three Gorges", and the press conference was over.
At least everyone knows that "The Good People in the Three Gorges" is going to participate in the Venice International Film Festival; I also know that Wang Meng's next film plan and title.
As for how to report it, it is their business.
What Wang Meng can do is pave the way for "The Good People in Three Gorges".
It is not that after winning the award, everyone will know nothing.
There was absolutely no good news about the reports I had made up for at that time.
The next day, Wang Meng brought his assistant and secretary, Zhang Lantian, Jia Zhangke, Zhao Tao and others to Italy.
