Chapter 44 The New Year
The New Year of 2006 is approaching, and Wang Meng welcomes the first New Year of this life.
Due to the strong vitality of Marvel and Wang Meng's performance was unexpectedly good, this year's New Year was extremely lively.
Wang Meng's grandparents live in their hometown in Shandong and are taken care of by Wang Meng's aunt and family.
The old man doesn't like the rhythm of Shanghai and is not used to living in a metropolis without old friends.
Both of them are in their seventies and are in good health. Although Wang Zhiwei and Lu Man wanted to take the old man away many times, the two old men refused.
This year is different. The two old people learned about their grandson's achievements, so this year they came to the Magic City to celebrate the New Year together.
Wang Meng has met her grandparents for the first time since she came to this house.
Perhaps it is because of the generation gap, or it may be because of the dullness of the previous owner, and he has not had much contact with relatives and friends.
Grandpa was very talkative, especially when he saw his grandson changing like a different person, he found that he could talk to his grandson.
Unlike before, the old man wanted to get close to him, but the original owner had a response from every sentence.
It is precisely for this reason that the elderly feel that they can’t talk to their grandson, which leads to fewer opportunities to meet.
The Wang family is just the only one, but the eldest aunt has a cousin.
However, in the old man's heart, nephews and grandsons cannot be compared. This traditional old concept is a theorem for thousands of years.
"Dream, I heard from others that the movie you made is not bad, but I just can't understand it. When will you shoot a drama about fighting the Japanese, I will also go and see it." Grandpa called Wang Changhe, with a strong Luzhong accent.
Grandma Wei Shuqin gave her wife a blank look: "You know how to fight the Japanese. What Mengmeng calls it... a popular science film, how can you fight the Japanese? There are so many fight the Japanese. Just go and see it yourself."
But my grandfather said, "Those scenes of fighting the Japanese are filmed by others, but my grandson can do the same."
Seeing the two old quarrels, Wang Meng poured tea and water on the side. After all, blood is thicker than water, and this feeling is very good.
Finally, when my grandfather saw that his daughter-in-law Lu Man was not here, he also summarized: "It's better to be a director. Then look at your parents, just make some children's books to coax your children, and they don't have much prospects."
Well, the old man summed up the twenty years of hard work of Wang Zhiwei and Lu Man as coaxing children in one sentence.
My father Wang Zhiwei was speechless when he heard this, and his face turned red and he didn't say anything.
Grandma stopped working and thought her son was very powerful, so she said: "What is a child's book? It's a comic. How many times have I told you about it? It's a painting."
Grandpa disagreed and said, "Even if you draw, you don't draw paintings that beat the Japanese. It's not easy to draw."
Anyway, it’s not a good thing to not fight the Japanese. The elderly who are in the grade sometimes always remember when they were young, and that was a bloody era, so it was also a backward trend.
A warm home sometimes makes people intoxicated by the greatest success.
Wang Meng never felt this way in his previous life. He had expected, imagined, but had never experienced it. At this moment, Wang Meng also understood a little.
I understand why some family indoor dramas, or family love dramas, always have a hardcore audience.
I think everyone has a trace of warmth in the depths of their hearts. Usually you can't touch it, so you can only wait for it to passively accept it.
Sometimes movies are life, but they are purer than life, so pure that you have to feel it with your heart, or even so pure that you laugh and scold.
A script is a short life story. Sometimes this story resonates with many people, so the movie became popular and everyone liked it.
Sometimes, only a few people will resonate with each other, so this movie was scolded by many people.
Life is unpredictable for you. The moment before, Wang Meng was still saying to her grandfather: "Don't worry, I will also appear on the Spring Festival Gala in the future, and I will let you see it at that time."
Not long after he finished speaking, Mr. Han San called.
"Hey, Xiao Wang, I am Han Sanping. Didn't you disturb you during the New Year?" Han Sanping seemed to be very good recently and said in a happy tone.
Wang Meng was still thinking that he would call Han Sanping later to contact him.
Unexpectedly, Han Sanping called first.
"San Master, I didn't bother you. I was thinking about calling you later. I didn't expect that you, Mr. Third Master, are you calling. What? What are you saying, "Third Master, what are you doing?"
Han Sanping smiled and said, "It's not a big deal. Just now, the editor-in-chief of [Chinese Movies] magazine called me and said I wanted to interview you, but I couldn't contact you, so I asked me to send a message."
Wang Meng was stunned...
[Chinese Movies] Is this magazine unusual?
Although he is not very famous, he is still very famous in the film and television industry.
How can many people in the film and television industry interview themselves in magazines that they watch every issue?
In fact, Wang Meng is also very depressed. As a result, his movies are so popular, there are not many decent magazines or interviews with him.
It seems that everyone thinks that they are not worth interviewing, and even feels that this success is lucky.
Wang Meng asked, "Third Master, what's going on? Why is it that [Chinese Movie] wants to interview me, but my small weight actually makes them care about it."
Han Sanping smiled and said, "Do you remember Yu Dong said a few days ago that our movies have attracted a lot of attention and controversy in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea?"
When Wang Meng heard this, she thought that this was indeed the case, and the box office seemed to be pretty good.
"I know! What's wrong? Who is involved? Isn't it?" Wang Meng was a little scared, so don't make a great master again.
"No one is involved. These guys who don't see rabbits and don't show off their eagles. Watching your movies has caused heated discussions overseas, so they all come to interview you according to the taste..."
Han Sanye said again: "Your movie has caused controversy in China, and they think you are not qualified enough. But when it has attracted widespread attention in Hong Kong and Taiwan, these gangs are concerned about it. However, the reason for "The Promise" was missed, and now it is popular in Southeast Asia and other places. These guys can't help it."
When Wang Meng heard this, he felt relieved. It was not enough to just blow up big fish, but it would be beneficial to just interview merely.
Mr. Han San continued with a little laugh, "I have reminded them that when our movie was not released during the promotional period, I asked them to give me an interview. As a result, these guys said it was worthless! OK? I regret it now. If it weren't for my editor-in-chief of [Chinese Film], I would have a good relationship and wouldn't bother with them."
Mr. Han San said it was very proud.
Recently, a leader above praised him, saying that the movie was released well, not only made money, but also opened up a new idea for Chinese movies.
"Okay, Master San, I am your old soldier, just make arrangements."
Wang Meng can be said to be very down on himself, which made Mr. Han San feel very satisfied.
It is not that Wang Meng has a tendency to be masochistic, but that he knows that people respect me one foot, and I respect others one foot.
In addition, the foundation is too poor, some big guys must make friends.
Only by learning to bow your head in front of the strong can you raise your head in front of the weak.
The kind of rampant fantasy and all kinds of witty escape from danger, others are benchmarks for mental retardation.
Even if you slapped someone in the face, they would come to praise you for your stinky feet?
Just smile like this, don’t worry about it.
In reality, compromise and hypocrisy are a big problem.
Finally, Mr. Han San said: "You should be the third grade of junior high school. They will go to the Demon City in the third grade of junior high school. I will tell them the phone later and ask them to contact you."
Afterwards, the two of them worshiped each other for a long time and ended the call.
About ten minutes later, a reporter from [Movie Weekly] called and agreed to see you in the third year of junior high school...
