China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Zhou Xingxing is very slow in making films, especially the ones he invested and directed himself. This is probably because the box office failure of "Westward Journey" left a deep shadow.

It was okay in the late 1990s, with works basically coming out every year.

After 2000, it took a few years for one to be released.

In the original history, "Yangtze River No. 7" was only released in 2008.

It was Jiang Heng's investment and promotion that allowed this film to be born two years in advance.

Now that the film is released, my feelings for my father have already been pinned on it.

He wanted to make another film to express his regrets in love.

Many viewers believe that Zhou Xingxing's words in "Westward Journey" were addressed to Zhu Yin.

But judging from the content of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", Luo Huijuan is the love of his life.

When the two first got together, Luo was already the heroine, but Zhou Xingxing could only play a minor role.

As time went by, Luo Huijuan began to long for getting married, having children, and having a happy family.

But at that time, Zhou Xingxing's career had just started, and it was time to show off his ambitions.

He once asked Liu Zhenwei that he wanted to get married.

Liu's advice is not to rush into making decisions and wait.

Because the social atmosphere at that time was relatively conservative, once an idol star got married, his popularity would plummet. In serious cases, it was almost equivalent to quitting the industry.

Zhou Xingxing worked as a bit player for ten years before he became famous. How could he give up his future for love?

When Luo mentioned marriage for the first time, Zhou Xingxing gave an explanation.

When she brought it up a second time, Zhou just said "crazy."

So in "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons", Miss Duan said she wanted to get married and have a family, and Xuanzang's response was - "crazy".

Later, in an interview with Chai Jing, Zhou Xingxing said: I think it was bad luck. If I could do it all over again, I wouldn't be so busy!

But in fact, Zhou Xingxing had a girlfriend in those years, this one was Yu Wenfeng, and they broke up in 2010.

Perhaps it was this breakup that made Zhou suddenly realize that after working hard for half his life to save billions of net worth, he was still alone, without even a happy family.

Looking back on the past, I realized that the girl who wanted to start a family with him, get married and have children, was the real love of his life.

Therefore, the project of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" was established in 10 years, started filming in 2011, and was released in 2013. It scored 12.47 box office in the mainland, setting a new box office record for Chinese-language movies.

Zhou Xingxing is indeed a person who creates myths!

But at this moment, his feeling of making up for his shortcomings was not that strong.

I just think that while the current "market" is good and my relationship with Jiang Heng is good, I can make more special effects blockbusters and make more money.

It's just that he never deconstructs love in his movies, and only adds touching love elements.

"I definitely want it. Not only do I need investment, but you also need your help in planning. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will take two or three years to get one!" Zhou Xingxing said with a smile.

Jiang Heng leaned back slightly in his chair, "No problem, how much do you plan to invest?"

Zhou Xingxing hesitated. The production cost of "Kung Fu" was 140 million, "Yangtze River No. 7" was more than 100 million, and the original production cost of "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" was also just over 100 million.

However, Jiang Heng's "Journey to the West" series of films and "Shituoling" a few years ago already cost as much as 40 million U.S. dollars, or more than 300 million yuan.

With more than 100 million, it will be difficult to make a film that satisfies the audience.

But if he really had to spend more than 300 million to make a movie, he was unsure, fearing that the box office performance would be poor and he would suffer too much loss.

After thinking about it for a long time, he finally said the number, "Well, just 200 million!"

Jiang Heng asked again: "How much are you prepared to invest?"

Zhou Xingxing hesitated again and paused for several seconds before saying: "Sixty million, maybe!"

Jiang Heng asked again: "Do you want to leave a share for others?"

The film produced by Aiyouteng Pictures and directed by Zhou Xingxing currently seems to be a guaranteed profit. Setting aside a certain share of investment for other companies can be regarded as a personal favor.

However, Zhou Xingxing has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for many years and does not consider this at all.

"I don't think about it. Do you really want to stay?"

Jiang Heng said: "Then I won't keep it. I will invest the 140 million yuan!"

Although Zhou Xingxing knew that this would be the result, he was still a little envious.

He also spent a lot of money, not wanting to lose everything, so he changed his style instantly and never dared to play like that again.

It can only be said that people teach others, but they cannot be taught.

Things teach people, just once!

He really envied Jiang Heng's heroic spirit, but it was a pity that he couldn't do it no matter what.

"Director Jiang is so generous. It's settled like this. I'll go get the script first. We'll discuss it later if there's any progress!"

"No problem, let's have a meal before leaving?"

"Forget it, you're so busy, I can just go out and eat a bowl of noodles by myself!" After that, he really left.

Seeing his back slightly bowed and his hair gray, Jiang Heng suddenly said in his heart: Talented people have appeared in every generation, and each has led the way for hundreds of years!

Master Xing, you are really old!

Although "Yangtze River No. 7" has a certain box office appeal, due to the different types of films, it did not have a big impact on the box office of "Zhu Xian".

"Zhu Xian" has been in theaters for many days and still dominates the single-day box office. The domestic box office has exceeded 800 million. It is hard to say whether it can exceed 900 million.

Because "Kung Fu Panda" produced by Ayote Pictures has landed in theaters.

To be honest, the mainland market has been relatively dismissive of animated films in recent years.

The reason is also simple. There has been no outstanding animated film in China for several years.

But the audience is looking forward to it, because the pre-screening trailer of "Zhu Xian" is "Kung Fu Panda".

At this moment, the mainland audience has never seen such exquisite and detailed animation movies with such fierce fighting scenes, and they have been looking forward to it for a long time.

On August 11, many domestic cinemas were crowded again, with young couples and families of three talking about this summer with great enthusiasm.

The 2006 mainland movie summer season is definitely the strongest summer season in the history of Chinese-language movies.

Four blockbusters were released in succession. Except for the slightly awkward plot of the first part of "Red Cliff", "Zhu Xian" and "CJ7" are both good, but I don't know how "Kung Fu Panda" is.

On the side, a woman wearing fashionable sunglasses sat quietly, listening to the chatter of the people next to her. It was Yang Mi who had not appeared for a long time.

She knew that she had no backing and resources in the circle, so she had been working hard in the past few years.

After switching from Rongxinda to iQiyi, youku and Tencent, there are more TV drama resources, but unfortunately, there has been no weighty role in the film industry.

What made her particularly depressed was that Liu Yifei participated in "Pacific Rim 2", Tang Yan and Jing Tian participated in "Zhu Xian", and the first two continued to rise in fame and status because of the hit movies.

Jing Tian was even more exaggerated. He became very popular because of the role of "Bi Yao".

Some of the TV roles she wanted, Jing Tian could pick them at will, which was so infuriating!

She was originally very hardworking, but she has been very lazy recently.

She suddenly realized that personal efforts seemed to be inferior to relationships.

Before, Jing Tian always got close to Jiang Heng, and she had secretly laughed at him.

She felt that this girl was not clear-headed, and you have no acting skills. Even if you get a role, I'm afraid you can't take it. What's the use!

I never expected that someone with no acting skills would become popular. How can I explain this!
