Chapter five hundred and ninety fourth busy early September
September 6th.
DreamWorks headquarters, in a giant conference hall.
"May I ask Director Chen? What does "Search" mainly tell?" Hundreds of reporters in the audience were waiting.
Three days ago, DreamWorks and Chen Kaige jointly announced the list of new film starring roles, both at home and abroad.
The two female leads, one is the International Chapter of China and the other is the famous Hollywood actress Anne Hathaway.
Not to mention that the supporting roles are almost all old actors, from China to the United States.
"The movie "Search" is directed and written by Wang Meng, with the famous Hollywood actress Ms. Anne Hathaway, and the internationally renowned movie star Ms. Zhang...
Mainly based on the narrative, the two protagonists who also suffered unfair experiences tell their own tragic experiences in our country...
It is worth reflecting that this film will be extended based on the "theory of sympathy for the weak" mentioned by director Wang Meng before? Let everyone see a different plot? Of course, the media friends in the play may play an unlucky role! But... please forgive me. This is an artistic discussion and a way of presentation. I personally think it is very educational value...
The elderly, children, media, search, these words may be the biggest starting point of this film. Of course, it involves the aspects of faith and redemption, and tells the story in a simple narrative!
This time I will simply shoot a good work, not add my own ideas too much, and strive to satisfy everyone. I will treat it with the attitude of filming "Farewell My Concubine" back then...
The film invests $60 million and will strive for excellence... The story spans China and the United States. I hope to take this opportunity to show two different national conditions. What methods will be used after encountering the same incident? This will be the highlight of the film..."
...
Chen Kaige told the general and thoughts of the story with great enthusiasm.
More than once I mentioned that I will make good movies with my heart this time, rather than the previous movies where my thoughts transcend the universe and I watched them in vaguely. It should be the reflections over the years, right?
Even said: I took out my attitude when filming "Farewell My Concubine" and "Loessland"! This made the reporter very curious.
(Ahem! In fact, the crucial figure of Overlord and Huangtu is Director Chen’s father, who is the hero behind the scenes. After this senior passed away, what? I can’t make a good movie. Of course, the whole story is pure nonsense!)
The reason why Wang Meng was handed over to Chen Kaige for filming? First, he didn't think much about it. After all, he shot "Search" in his previous life. Second, it was to repay him. After all, before Wang Meng became famous, this person had support for Wang Meng.
It seems nothing now? But it was very important to Wang Meng at that time.
"Director Chen, it is rumored that Miss Anne and Director Wang Meng have a close relationship. Is it because of Director Wang that Miss Anne joined the film?" asked the reporter.
"Miss Anne's answer to this." Chen Kaige's face looked a little bad.
After listening to the translation, Annie said, "First of all, it was Wang who invited me. Secondly, do you know who is competing with me for this role? Miss Natalie? What I want to say? I fell in love with the script of this movie after reading it. Moreover, I have communicated with Director Chen many times, and maybe at the beginning I was introduced by Director Chen. But now, I can say that I fully believe in and support Director Chen. Because of this period of contact, Director Chen impressed me with his strength? Finally, I thank Director Chen for choosing me in the end and thank Director Chen for giving me this opportunity."
Annie gave her face very much, and gave her all the face to Chen Kaige, which made him very satisfied.
In recent years, Chen Kaige has indeed been the most miserable period, and has been scolded and has been in trouble.
Wang Meng asked him to direct "Search" this time, which was actually a chance to save him.
Chen Kaige doesn't say it on the surface, but he is actually very grateful to Wang Meng.
"Miss Zhang Ziyi, what do you feel?"
Like Zhang Ziyi, the recent fraud, ink splashing, and all kinds of sadness in the beach. Cough cough... Everyone knows, so I won't say much. Anyway, I look like I feel a little sympathy with Chen Kaige.
"Thank you Director Chen, thank you Dream Factory, thank you Director Wang Meng. Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I have read the script and found that I fell in love with this setting. As Director Chen said just now, we lack some rational judgments in some things! And thinking is always led by some people, which is a bad behavior. I hope that through this film, everyone can understand a truth, and sometimes what you hear must be right!"
This is also a victim of media abuse.
When Wang Meng learned that Chen Kaige chose Zhang Ziyi, she thought: Is Director Chen looking for someone who is in the same way? Or, find some stars who hate the media to perform?
Anyway, these two people collaborated on "Search", uh! It's quite interesting!
...
After the press conference, the next day, the news that Chen Kaige directed "Search" quickly spread throughout the country.
Due to the fact that many Hollywood actors join, there are many media attentions in North America and Europe. For Chen Kaige, it is both a test and an opportunity. Success will be very glorious. If it fails, it will be miserable.
In the busy September, the start of "Search" caused a lot of sensation.
In addition to the previous description of the hacker incident Wang Meng clarified the meeting, the additional relationships and the number of people he followed.
The internet is also very lively.
Although many netizens expressed dissatisfaction with Wang Meng's choice of Chen Kaige? However, most of them still held a supportive attitude and commented with the idea of giving a chance.
In the busy early September, the peak "Twilight 2" was released. The reaction was quite good and the results were even more enviable.
With this, Xiao K's fame almost reached its peak!
However, some time ago, Wang Meng received a call from Xiao K and the two chatted enthusiastically, but Xiao K's words made Wang Meng a little disappointed and relieved.
Christine said to Wang Meng: "She fell in love with a girlfriend!"
When I first heard this, Wang Menglei was very careful, but later I realized that the two broke up.
Just as he thought before, the two broke up was really just one thought, and now this thought appears.
Wang Meng was indeed a little unhappy at first. After all, he was a bit possessive as a big man. Later, he slowly figured it out in a few days. In fact, this is also very good. The best ending is not considered the worst.
Of course, Christine found a girlfriend, uh! This is why Wang Mengxiang drove so fast!
Putting aside the things that I can't figure out for the time being, in early September, "Kung Fu Panda" was released worldwide, and only a few areas were released.
The box office of the movie reached 812 million US dollars, which was a sensational miracle.
In addition, all work progressed smoothly, and there were minor troubles, but they could be easily solved, but there were no major troubles.
By the way, two days ago, Xie Chong'er and Guan Tong came to DreamWorks and reached a cooperation intention very successfully. Wang Meng heard that the two wanted to meet him, and Wang Meng took some time to meet his fans' requests.
In terms of impression, I feel very good about the two.
but……
On September 12th, a very important thing is coming.
Wang Meng returned home with a wry smile!
Chapter completed!
