Chapter 157 Details determine success or failure

On the morning of September 7, DreamWorks reception hall.

In a few days, in order to compete for "You, the Deskmate", nearly 60 actors gathered together. Dreamworks' popularity and Wang Meng's appeal are already extraordinary.

The bustling crowds of people were both uneasy and expectant.

Many people regard this competition as a major turning point in their lives.

The path of actors, or artists, has never been achieved overnight.

Not missing every opportunity is the only goal of the newcomer.

After becoming famous, you can choose the role you want, or you can not play the role you think is not in line with your image.

However, even if the newcomer doesn't meet, he must become in line. You don't know when you will miss a change.

Among the nearly ten characters in this competition, there were five or six people in each character's competition. Everyone looked at the actors around them with similar images to them, and there was a strong light in their eyes.

During this cooperation with Shanghai Theatre, there were many fewer students, mainly because there were more crew members and interns.

In the past year, Wang Meng has made the younger generation famous for many years, and these operas are already very satisfied.

Moreover, the most demanding thing is the students who want to intern with the crew. During the last filming period, there was a case where students made suggestions to compete for quotas.

Therefore, this time the crew will also have interns from various departments, including interns from DreamWorks.

The filming of "You, the Deskmate" requires a lot of twists and turns, including Xiamen, Capital, New York, Philadelphia, China and Midi, with a large span.

There is a lot of research in setting, lighting and clothing. In the 1990s, nearly ten years have passed, and the characters, costumes and shots of the original film need to be researched.

Although Wang Meng knew, the crew didn't know.

You have to come up with reasonable research.

This film is one of the few youth memory films in this world. If you make it inappropriate, everyone will be scolded by buy to Lei’s mother when watching Mao’s memories.

Therefore, this time, not only did the clothing department and makeup department of Shanghai Theatre need to be carefully studied, but even several professors of sociology and humanities studies at Fudan University were invited by Wang Meng.

Including the anti-resistance caused by the embassy in the play, the Midi 911, and the fear of people in the early days, etc. These all require relevant professors to fill in the theoretical basis.

Wang Meng doesn't want his works to have flaws.

After all, after all, I have experienced the butterfly effect, but it is rebirth. Although it is 99% similar to the previous life, it is inevitable that it is different. This seemingly inconspicuous negligence is absolutely fatal.

In order to enrich theories and research, or the purpose of publicity, Wang Meng’s relationship with Fudan University was used this time.

Fudan University also expressed great interest, and who doesn’t like to apply what you have learned.

Even the professors invited this time assigned homework to students and tried to portray them with theoretical basis, including the humanistic style of the 1990s and the psychological fluctuations at that time.

In the 1990s, the turbulent era and the great changes, students were very interested in their research and theories, and they all enthusiastically devoted themselves to them.

This positive attitude was unexpected by Fudan University, so the school was very satisfied.

Besides, your research cannot waste our time in vain, right? DreamWorks spent 600,000 yuan on the inspection fee.

The emergence of a movie has never been simple, and it needs to be supplemented in all aspects and departments.

"How is Xiamen University's contact?" Wang Meng asked the crew members in the office.

This time, Fu Qiang is still in contact with him. Recently, Fu Qiang has been around and finally fulfilled his mission. He said: "Xiazhai University has contacted him well. We also found a Chinese company in New York to serve as the shooting location. Yu Dong helped him contact him. Basically, there is no problem with the shooting location."

"Where is the review of the script?" Wang Meng asked.

"The script review will be released in three days at the latest. Director Wang, you will have a result when you come back from Venice." Zhang Lantian replied.

"Well, that's good." Wang Meng said to Wang Peng again: "The crew's plan is roughly the same. However, remember to do a good job in clothing, lighting, and makeup. Contact more professors from Fudan University. Never change the reality for the sake of good looks. A movie that brings memories is not about your exquisite costumes and pictures, but about the memories they have. This is very important."

"Don't worry, those professors are very persistent. We will be educated for a long time if we change a little bit, saying that this is disrespectful to history, even ten years ago, it is history." Wang Peng smiled bitterly, obviously suffering a loss.

He also said: "We don't need to stare at it. They will keep a close eye with the teachers in the sets of Shanghai Theatre Academy. They even changed the buttons several times. They are much more serious than us."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone saw Wang Peng's frustrated look and laughed. They had seen the enthusiasm of the professors and teachers, and there was no flaw allowed.

"This is right. Now we are just like the style of ten years ago. It will be even more troublesome to shoot costume films in the future. It will be difficult for future audiences to fool, especially in the Internet era, where all kinds of talents gather, and if you have any flaws, you will be criticized for being useless. So... don't be afraid of trouble, try to be perfect." Wang Meng concluded.

"It's good, but the expenses are too great. I haven't taken any photos yet, and it's nearly two million." Zhao Jisen sighed.

Although it is a youth memory film, Wang Meng has high requirements, so the expenses are not ordinary.

"We are not afraid of spending money. What we want now is reputation, and the same goes for the future. I don't want the works produced by our DreamWorks to be criticized by others. If you want to do it, you can do fine products. Only by forming our style can we go further. Our company does not need to cut corners."

After hearing this, Zhao Jisen nodded and said, "It seems that investment of 10 million in this way is not enough, at least 2 million in follow-up funds are required. Our external publicity can be said to be 18 million or even 20 million."

After hearing so much capital investment, Wang Meng still sucked in his heart. It would cost more than 10 million. How much should a future blockbuster film be needed? It's a long way to go!

"It's okay, 12 million is 12 million. As the same thing, we can't do flawlessness, but we can do it as much as possible without flaws."

"I understand!" Everyone nodded.

"Dongdong..." The knock on the door came.

Assistant Lu Jieshu came in and said, "Boss, managers, the actors are all ready. Do you see?"

"Okay, let's start the audition, Brother Peng, Brother Liu, Manager Zhang and Manager Wu go with me." Wang Meng greeted and said, the four of them followed Wang Meng out of the office and came to the hall.

There was a hustle and bustle in the hall, and when everyone saw Wang Meng, there was a silence.

"Thank you for your support to DreamWorks. Let's talk about it for a long story. The whole DreamWorks are honored for your arrival. The audition will begin. I hope you will show your best attitude and take a path for your life..."

After saying that, he ignored the confused people and said to his secretary Lan Shuzhen: "Let's start."
