China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

When "The Three-Body Problem" was released all over the world, Jiang Heng took the crew of "The Company" to Yunnan for location shooting.

Mainly used in the scene where the "Xiong Bing Company" team and Sun Wukong first encounter a battle in the forest.

As for the period when he attended the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem" and went abroad to promote its release, the crew of "The Company" did not stop work. Instead, company boss and producer Du Huan and deputy director Guo Fan filmed some scenes according to the shooting plan. Not too important a shot.

But it was said that Guo Fan quit his job at China Tourism Television and resolutely joined Aiyouteng Pictures.

First, I participated in the "Director Training Course" organized by Jiang Heng and learned a lot about the knowledge and techniques of shooting special effects movies. Since then, he has been filming movies with Jiang Heng, serving as an assistant director.

And this person is indeed a blockbuster director who can produce "The Wandering Earth". He stood out among the trainees during the training class. After joining the crew, he even helped Jiang Heng with a lot of work.

This time, for the global promotion of "The Three-Body Problem", Jiang Heng left the team for about half a month and gave Guo Fan a lot of work just to test his abilities.

If it works, I'm going to let him start directing independently.

The result was quite satisfactory to him, and it was not a big problem to direct a film independently.

Furthermore, he can also act as a producer and provide guidance!

In a Coaster business car heading to the location for filming, Jiang Heng and Guo Fan were sitting side by side.

"I think you can now direct a film independently. Have you ever thought about what your first film will be?"

"Is it really okay, teacher?" Guo Fan looked excited.

In fact, he is the same age as Jiang Heng, both born in 1980.

It's just that those who are successful come first. After joining Aiyouteng Pictures and participating in the training class, he has always regarded himself as Jiang Heng's student.

After all, considering Jiang Heng’s current status in Chinese films, his student is also a status that countless people dream of!

As long as you don't commit suicide and work hard, you can be very successful in this industry.

Guo Fan naturally thought about the future, and also thought about what would be better for his first work.

Naturally, he likes Liu's works and feels that the story of "The Wandering Earth" is good and would be more interesting to adapt.

However, I accidentally chatted with Liu Cixin and learned that he had sold the film and television adaptation rights of "The Wandering Earth" to Jiang Heng for 800,000 yuan, so I didn't dare to consider this movie.

But when it comes to shooting other things, I haven’t decided which one is better for a while.

Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Heng said with a smile: "Don't be in a hurry, just think about it slowly! After the New Year, I will have to devote most of my energy to the Olympic Games. I will definitely not be able to shoot new films before the opening ceremony.

Currently, the company has blockbusters to be released during the summer and Lunar New Year periods next year. You only need to make one film that can be released in the summer of 2009. There is still a year and a half left, so you should be able to make it in time! "

When Guo Fan heard this, he became nervous instantly.

A year and a half? That's your speed, teacher!

It is very difficult for an average director to produce a high-quality special effects blockbuster within a year and a half.

Although Jiang Heng will have time to participate in the post-production of the film from September next year, Guo Fan still feels a lot of pressure.

"Teacher, I want to make progress so much, I won't let you down!"

When Jiang Heng heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Why did this word seem so familiar?

Guo Fan said, "Teacher, do you have any suggestions?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "I really want you to film "The Wandering Earth", but the time is not ripe yet!"

Guo Fan shuddered after hearing this, wandering the earth? Is there such a good thing?

Since Jiang Heng was planning to make "The Three-Body Problem", he has read many of Liu Cixin's works, and he feels more and more that they are suitable for film and television adaptation, namely "The Three-Body Problem" and "The Wandering Earth".

I originally thought that Jiang Heng kept it for himself and didn't want to have the opportunity to direct "The Wandering Earth". Guo Fan was really excited and grateful beyond words.

"Teacher, do I really have a chance to direct "The Wandering Earth"?"

"Of course, among all the students in the training class, you are the one I am most optimistic about, and I will definitely help you come up with a good work!"

Hearing this, Guo Fan became even more grateful and hurriedly said: "Teacher, I...!"

Jiang Heng hurriedly waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything.

After all, with his current status, he has heard too many words of gratitude, compliments, and admiration.

"There are some words that you just need to keep in mind. I don't care about those things. As long as you make a good movie and make the audience applaud, I'll be satisfied!"

Hearing this, Guo Fan blushed and said, "I know, teacher, don't worry, I will do my best to take the picture!"

Afterwards, I thought about what would be better to shoot.

In the summer season of 2009, it would be a shame if it didn't earn more than 500 million at the box office.

After the crew arrived at the filming location, they were warmly received by local leaders and villagers.

First, Jiang Heng is already very famous, and secondly, "The Three-Body Problem" is currently being screened!

Even many local leaders went to the theater to watch "The Three-Body Problem". After walking out, they all sighed, how could it be filmed?

Thinking about the science fiction scenes in the film and looking at the backwardness and poverty in reality, the contrast becomes even stronger.

At this moment, the crew of "The Company of Heroes" arrived, and Jiang Heng's arrival caused a sensation.

Facing the local enthusiasm, Jiang Heng still had to take time to deal with it, and it was inevitable to have a meal and socialize.

Then, he started filming the movie.

At the same time, "The Three-Body Problem" was released in the global film market.

In North America, the movie "The Three-Body Problem" earned $115 million in the first three days of the first weekend, breaking the first weekend box office record of Jiang Heng's works in North America, with the previous blockbusters such as "Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End", "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix", and "Shrek the Third".

According to the current box office trend and word of mouth, the box office of $400 million in the North American market is stable.

The reason is naturally the explosive word of mouth, and the excellent special effects are only one aspect.

In fact, the political and business elites in North America all admire the novel "The Three-Body Problem", which in turn affects the media's publicity and reports.

Ordinary grassroots people naturally don't think so much, but Jiang Heng's brand is strong enough, and the media all praise how good "The Three-Body Problem" is, which naturally attracts countless audiences to the cinema.

In other European countries, the situation is similar, after all, the values ​​are similar.

The political and business elites all say it is good, and the grassroots people are willing to join in the fun, so the box office results are naturally not bad.

Although Japan and South Korea are Asian countries, they are seriously influenced by Western civilization and also like "The Three-Body Problem".

As for Southeast Asia and other small countries in the world, they are more of a spectator.

When the box office revenues of countries around the world are added up, the global total box office revenue of The Three-Body Problem has soared rapidly. Less than a month after its release, it has already exceeded 900 million US dollars and is heading for the 1 billion mark.

"Director Jiang, I'm afraid you will break the record again this time. Judging from the current box office trend, it won't be a problem for The Three-Body Problem to break through 1.1 billion US dollars in the global box office!"

Inside the crew, Du Huan came to report the good news.

Jiang Heng was also very happy to hear this, and he was looking forward to the box office performance of the 3D version of Havoc in Heaven next summer.
