On January 3, 2007, DreamWorks held a press conference.

"You, My Deskmate" triggered a "phenomenon" and made many reporters in China crazy. After many years, phenomenal movies have appeared again.

The so-called "Four-Four Contest" that I was thinking about some time ago is meaningless. Wang Meng's "You, the Deskmate" won a reputation even if she lost the box office.

After all, phenomenal level is rare. Coupled with the creation of new genres, Wang Meng is not only a genius director, but also a business elite recently, which has led to this time not only reporters from the entertainment industry come to interview, but also many reporters from commercial newspapers.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the reception hall of DreamWorks was overcrowded.

DreamWorks has long been familiar with this kind of press conference. Since Wang Meng founded DreamWorks, it seems that such receptions have never stopped.

Every now and then, as long as Wang Meng makes some explosive news, a reporter will invite a reception.

Wang Meng led the group of people from "You, Deskmate" to the reporters.

The "KaKa..." videos are endless.

The host of this hospitality is still Jiang Shuying, who has become the spokesperson of DreamWorks.

After all the seats were taken, the reporter began to ask questions.

"Director Wang, what do you think of the phenomenon caused by "You, My Deskmate"?" reporter.

Wang Meng said: ["Actually, I have been repeating a sentence. The press conferences that know me know that I always keep a sentence on my lips, that is, the fans are the best candidates to test a movie. This time, we just put a movie that has been carefully created in front of everyone. As for the good or bad, it all depends on everyone's meaning.

It is a great honor for fans to like "You in the Deskmate", we succeeded. And... I am proud to trigger a trend. Here I would like to thank all the fans who support "You in the Deskmate". It was you who made it with the movie tickets in your hands, and it was also your word-of-mouth transmission to trigger a trend. On behalf of all the crew of "You in the Deskmate", I would like to thank all the fans who support "You in the Deskmate", thank you everyone."]

Wang Meng spoke up like this, so she finished it in one go without a pause.

"Director Wang, what do you think of the current memory style and the gatherings of many old classmates? I heard that some of them cross half of China, or even half of the earth, are here to attend the gatherings between classmates." Reporter.

hehe……

Wang Meng smiled and said, "I have no opinion on this. It is everyone's idea to meet up with a party, and I can't stop it. I think the transportation department should give me a medal. I have promoted the transportation industry, haha..."

Wang Meng joked, and the reporter laughed after hearing this.

"Director Wang, can you tell me the factors of your success?" reporter.

"I think this is first of all, is it because of our care? I remember when we announced that we would invite professors from Fudan University to participate in the production of the film and the basis for the theory. There were also reports that we exaggerated reality and deliberately hyped it up. Now it is obvious who is right and who is wrong. It is our careful attitude that has made this movie, so I think that care is the most important. As for the other factors, it is different from one's own opinion."

The reporter was very satisfied with Wang Meng's answer. Wang Meng refused everyone's questions and always gave answers, more or less without escaping.

"Then Director Wang, can you predict the total box office of "You, My Deskmate"?" reporter.

"Haha..." Wang Meng laughed and said, "Our reporters always ask me to predict that I don't have the ability. Of course, I understand the reporters' ideas and just ask me to say something roughly. But... if I say it wrong, you must make sure not to touch me?"

Wang Meng pretended to be a warning, which made the reporter laugh, thinking that Wang Meng was not bad. As long as you don’t fight him everywhere and speak carefully, he is still good.

Of course this is a change from reporters, so Wang Meng's attitude has also changed.

Since the reporter learned that Wang Meng’s assets were nearly 200 million, everyone was careful. Money does not mean anything, but money also means a lot...

Any smart editor-in-chief of a newspaper will tell its reporters that you should pay attention to your tone when interviewing Wang Meng.

I didn’t know before, but now I know that if it really makes him angry, he will buy the newspaper and then go bankrupt.

Of course! This is a joke. But it means that people who are rich and rich should not offend easily.

"I expect this thing to be very unreliable, so I'll just say the approximate number in my mind. I hope the box office of "You, My Deskmate" in the mainland can reach more than 80 million, and it would be better if it could exceed 100 million." Wang Meng thought for a while and replied.

The reporter heard the mystery and asked: "Director Wang, you said the box office in the mainland. Do you mean that Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas will also be released?"

Wang Meng smiled. As expected, the reporter was very good at listening to the mystery. Wang Meng replied: "Yes, it's also good news. In January 2007, "You, the Deskmate" will be released in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Japan and South Korea. This can be regarded as our DreamWorks following the country's command and trying to go global."

Wang Meng did not forget to flatter the country. If she said this, at least she would not dare to slander it.

"Congratulations to Director Wang, can Director Wang ask, what do you think of the business community's evaluation of you?" The reporter of Business News took the opportunity to ask.

"First of all... I am frightened. Some reports have also been overstatement. My positioning for myself has always been a director, now, in the future, and always. The director is an industry that is devoted to his whole body and soul, even if he devotes his whole life, he is exploring. I am positioning as a new director. I have a long way to go, so there is no way to talk about it in business."

Reporter: "Director Wang is modest. Although you are not in the business world, your name has been circulating in the business world recently. Therefore, many investors believe that the entertainment industry will be a popular industry in the future, and movies will be the top priority. Do you think everyone is right to say this?"

This sentence is too far-reaching, but Wang Meng knows that the entertainment industry, especially the media industry and the film industry, will indeed be very popular in the future, especially in 10 years, various film and television companies will rise like spring bamboo after the rain.

There are all kinds of people who enter the movie, including singers, book writers, actors, commercials, crosstalk, and even sketches. Not to mention those who have two spare money and have nowhere to spend.

After thinking about it, Wang Meng said, "There is a saying that you should be cautious when investing. For movies, I think the same is true. Investment needs to be cautious when investing. Without extraordinary eyes and abundant plans, try not to get involved.

It’s hard to say that I am just a director, but I don’t understand the others. I am happy that everyone is optimistic about the film industry, because more people will pay attention to it and their resources will increase.

But... the same thing, be careful. I personally don’t know my next plan, or what will happen to the next movie? You may have seen my successful side. When we work hard, we also come and go in the wind and rain, and we are not much better than all the reporters.”

Wang Meng didn't want to answer such questions. First, he really didn't understand, and second, he was extravagant to what he did.

Just a director, what are you involved in? So I said a few words without any pain.

"Director Wang, you just said that you can't guarantee your next plan. Do you mean that you have an idea for the next work? Can you reveal it?" A reporter seemed to have found a wonderful point and asked.

Wang Meng smiled secretly, thinking that he had guided him well, but the reporter discovered it.

But he pretended to be embarrassed and sighed for a while and said, "You are so awesome. You have all gotten this out of it. The plan was not yet mature. Since everyone wants to know, I will just say it?"

The reporter was amused after listening to it, and made a big discovery and received a lot of goods.

Wang Meng said: "I have a plan. This plan came into being before I was admitted to the Shanghai Theatre Director Department. Later, I was shocked to see similar topics abroad, so I decided to try it recently. The inspiration came from classical Chinese works, which is a familiar story. Not only in my country, Korea, Japan, and many places in Southeast Asia, they all know this story, and they are even familiar with it..."

The more Wang Meng said, the more itchy the reporter was, and I hope Wang Meng would say it out as soon as possible.

Wang Meng introduced the cause, which made everyone feel that he had planned for a long time. He was immature before, but now he is finally mature and is about to establish a project.

"The name of this film is "Painted Skin", which is inspired by the classic work of Mr. Pu Songling, a famous novelist and writer in the Qing Dynasty in my country - "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".

After Wang Meng finished speaking, the reporter was stunned. Who wouldn’t know about Stories from a Chinese Studio unless you say you are not Chinese.

This is not only a classic, but also a shining point of Chinese culture. I don’t know much, let alone reporters.

"Director Wang, I don't understand what you mean. Are you saying that the inspiration comes from "Painted Skin" in "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio". Are you saying that you are not copying it, but have changes. In addition... this is a merger of historical themes and mythological themes, or a horror film or a ghost film?"

The reporter asked everyone's confusion.

indeed……

Today, the domestic "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" is in the form of TV series.

Even the movie has been learned from the directors of Hong Kong, but it has not been in China, so the reporter does not understand.

Just like in the previous life, "Painted Skin" set a precedent for domestic magical themes, and naturally the same is true in this life.

"Painted Skin 1" was released in 2008, and now it has just entered 2007, so naturally the reporter doesn't know.

"It's not a myth, nor a ghost movie, or a horror movie, but a domestic magic movie." Wang Meng said affirmatively.

"Magic movie!"

"It turned out to be magic?"

"Director Wang, what do you mean..." reporter.

"Yes, it's magic. There are no movies with this kind of theme in the mainland yet. In fact, you will know about a world-famous magic movie that everyone is familiar with, just like the theme of "The Lord of the Rings - The Lord of the Rings"." Wang Meng said.

result……

After saying this, the reporter was shocked. The relationship is creating a new type. Are you so ambitious about your relationship?

"Director Wang, do you think it's like "Lord of the Rings"?" reporter.

"No, no, no, I'm just a metaphor, and naturally I can't reach that level. It's just a metaphor for the same subject matter between the two movies. I dare not say that what I filmed is as good as "Lord of the Rings"." Wang Meng quickly explained.

Wang Meng was afraid that the reporter who was not afraid of being a big deal would brag about "The Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter". That would be troublesome.

And... the reporter didn't care about this. Wang Meng said that magic is enough. It was the first case in China, and it was big news.

"This is a domestic magical theme, so it is hard to compare it with internationally renowned magical movies." - Wang Meng.

"I just had an idea, but as for the project establishment, the Lunar New Year will be celebrated in 2006." - Wang Meng.

"I haven't figured out the list of actors yet, I'll tell you when the time comes." - Wang Meng.

"The investment will not be small, it is expected to be no less than 80 million yuan, or even more." - Wang Meng

"Yes, there will be a lot of special effects." - Wang Meng

"I don't know whether to be the starring actor yet, let's see how the audience reacts!" - Wang Meng

“…”

The reporter went crazy and came to Wang Meng with all kinds of questions, so Wang Meng tried his best to answer.

It was not until half an hour later that the reporter asked everything he should ask, and only interviewed the actors of "You, My Deskmate".

This group of newcomers saw Wang Meng bragging and envious. It was finally his turn.
