China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

When Zhang Jizhong bought the copyright of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils", he naturally mentioned that if the film has good ratings, he will also film "The Return of the Condor Heroes", "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" and "The Deer and the Cauldron" in the future, and the mainland copyright must be sold to me!

Seeing Jin Yong smiling and not talking, he knew that things were not good.

He hurriedly asked what was going on. Jin Yong said that someone he couldn't refuse called and bought the mainland copyright of these works.

Zhang Jizhong was a little confused. Who else dared to compete with him for the mainland copyright of Jin Yong's novels.

When Jin Yong said the two words "Jiang Heng", Zhang Jizhong was silent.

After a long while, he said angrily: "He, he is a big director in the film industry, why would he come to shoot a TV series!"

Jin Yong smiled, "It's definitely not him, but he has a film and television company and actors to support, and the people below also want to have something to do!"

Zhang Jizhong heard this and felt that this was the truth.

Asked Jin Yong, "Is there no room for maneuver?"

Jin Yong smiled: "Do you think I can refuse him?"

How is it possible? Of course not!

At this moment, Jiang Heng is no longer the lonely young man a few years ago. Many film artists in the mainland, Hong Kong, and Taiwan are looking forward to starring in Jiang Heng's new film. The momentum is already established, how can Zhang Da Huzi compare with him.

That is to say, Jin Yong did not write a fairy tale, otherwise it would be very likely to be adapted into a special effects blockbuster by Jiang Heng and put on the big screen!

To be honest, Jin Yong has considered writing a fairy tale script for Jiang Heng.

But there is nothing to lose face. He entered the film and television industry in 1953. When he wrote the first script, he met his dream lover Xia Meng. He wrote seven scripts before leaving the industry.

It's just that he has stopped writing for many years, and he no longer has the agile thinking of his youth. After thinking about it, he finally gave up.

But Zhang Da Huzi left Hong Kong in a depressed mood, while Jiang Heng was in a good mood.

After talking to Jin Yong, he ordered Li Xiaoping to take people to Hong Kong to pay and sign the contract with Jin Yong in person.

He also ordered her to go to Taiwan to buy the film and television copyright of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy".

Once the three copyrights are in hand, the company's TV series shooting plan can be started.

As for the producer, he will be in name only, but the actual work is done by producer Li Xiaoping. It is also easy to find directors. There are many excellent directors who don't have many projects in both the mainland and Hong Kong.

For example, Wang Jing, although this guy made "Atlantic Rim" to spoof his own "Pacific Rim", but lost money due to poor box office, Jiang Heng didn't mind it.

After all, this guy is really good at filming, "The World's Number One" is really good.

I'm afraid that he will make too many changes, "The Legend of Condor Heroes" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" will definitely not dare to let him shoot, but "The Deer and the Cauldron" can be let him direct.

At the China Film Digital Base, Jiang Heng sat in a temporary office to rest. It was said to be temporary, but it was actually fixed.

Because in the original history, China Film did not build a digital shooting base so early.

It was also because of Jiang Heng's appearance that China Film began to invest in building a digital studio to shoot special effects movies, and gradually expanded to have this base.

Jiang Heng knew that China Film was short of funds, and he invested a large sum of money and occupied a lot of shares.

So this base was nominally owned by China Film, but it was almost the same as Jiang Heng's own.

The office area was not small, and the decoration was also luxurious. Jiang Heng was very comfortable in it, enjoying the air conditioning and drinking tea.

"Director Jiang, the box office information sent by China Film!"

An assistant sent a few documents, mainly statistical box office data.

Jiang Heng took it and flipped through it. Seeing the box office results of 40.5 million on the first day, he was also very surprised.

Unexpectedly, it broke through 40 million in a single day so quickly.

For other domestic films, a box office of 40 million is already a big hit, but for Jiang Heng's work, it is just a one-day result.

Of course, the investment of both parties is not at the same level.

For ordinary domestic films, 20 or 30 million is considered a large investment.

Jiang Heng's "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" has a total investment of 50 million US dollars, more than 400 million yuan.

With an investment gap of more than ten times, it is reasonable to have such results.

The report describes in detail the box office output of major ticket-storing cities and the box office situation of various theaters.

The top ones are naturally several theaters under China Film Red that have built IMAX theaters. Because of high ticket prices, many theaters and good decoration, the box office results of several theaters are far ahead, far exceeding theaters without IMAX.

The report mentioned that there are many high-income people watching movies in the domestic film market at present, and they have high requirements for theater decoration and screen sound effects, and can afford higher ticket prices. It is recommended to continue to increase the number of IMAX screens.

Jiang Heng read it and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

Han Sanping mentioned before that he wanted to speed up the construction of IMAX theaters, but Jiang Heng opposed it.

In the current domestic film market, there are still few blockbusters, except for Jiang Heng's works.

At present, there are only "Hero" announced to be scheduled for the 2003 Spring Festival and "The Promise" in the summer of 2003.

Except when there are blockbusters, there are almost no people buying IMAX theaters.

After all, watching ordinary movies in IMAX theaters is not that good, but the tickets are much more expensive, and the audience will also calculate the cost.

Looking further ahead, there is feedback from overseas. In Japan, South Korea, and Southeast Asia, the box office performance is generally good. In North America and Western European countries, it has also achieved good opening results, but the box office is slightly lower than that of "Lion Camel Ridge".

The analysis given by the staff of China Film is that there are too many Hollywood films released in the same period. Although the strength of each film is not very strong, it still diverts a lot of audiences.

Jiang Heng didn't know what to say about this.

Some people are famous because of metaphysics, and the success of movies at the box office is also a metaphysics.

It's not uncommon for movies that are of good quality to be huge hits at the box office, and it's not uncommon for bad movies to become hits.

Although "Split the Mountain to Save Mother" is not too outstanding, it is still a popcorn movie of good quality. It is no problem to recoup the cost and make a profit.

After reading the report, I signed a few more documents before going to the set to continue filming.

"Good morning, Director Jiang!"

"Good morning, Yan Zu, come here so early!"

"Well, Director Jiang, after this filming, is there any follow-up?"

Wu Yanzu is one of the few people in the entire crew who has seen the complete script. After knowing "The Matrix 3", the story of the entire series is over.

To be honest, he was very reluctant to give up.

Five years ago, he was just a poor boy who went on a trip right after graduation and spent all his money. He originally just wanted to be a model to earn some money.

I never wanted to take on my first movie and become an international superstar.

Now that the trilogy has been filmed, I feel really sad to leave it!

What's more, it's actually confusion.

Although he is known as an international superstar, the best-selling movies at the box office are all directed by Jiang Heng.

Participating in other companies' low-cost films will not sell much box office.

After filming "The Matrix", he doesn't know the future direction of development.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Heng said: "Well, when this trilogy is over, the story is over. There will be no fourth part!"

"Oh, that's quite a pity!" Wu Yanzu sighed.

Jiang Heng smiled, "Don't worry, you took the photo!"

Although the specific film has not been revealed, he has already been considered for "Inception".
