China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

In the North American market, the box office of "The Three-Body Problem" finally settled at 415 million US dollars, becoming the annual box office champion in 2007.

This result far exceeded the 336 million "Spider-Man 3" and 322 million "Shrek the Third", once again breaking the defense of a group of Hollywood filmmakers.

Although this film features many European and American actors including Tom Hiddleston, and even a few black people, it is a Chinese-language film after all.

Chinese-language films won the annual championship in the North American market, which is clearly a slap in the face of major Hollywood film companies!

It can be said that except for Columbia, which earned a lot of agency and distribution fees, the other companies are very unhappy.

And a group of Hollywood blockbuster directors also felt the pressure, including James Cameron, who is in the post-production of "Avatar".

Of course, Director Cameron's pressure did not come from "The Three-Body Problem" itself.

Instead, they think that the box office performance of "The Three-Body Problem" shows that in the eyes of the North American audience, Jiang Heng's works have been treated equally.

They will not have the subconscious concept that this is a foreign film and there is nothing to watch.

Instead, they will think that the special effects of director Jiang Heng's works are superb and worth watching.

An ordinary (in Cameron's view) 2D movie can easily win the annual box office champion in 2007.

It is said that the 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven" released in the summer of next year, how many dollars of box office performance can it get?

This is what Cameron is worried about!

As far as he knows, the Hollywood companies are already discussing the scheduling plan for this summer.

Most people's view is that the box office prospects of this 3D version of the film are very good, and the risk of competing with it in the same period is too high, and it is not worth taking the risk.

This makes Cameron more depressed, because from the moment "Avatar" started shooting, he has always felt that the world's first 3D special effects blockbuster with full visual effects must be his "Avatar".

But judging from the current situation, it is likely to be overtaken by Jiang Heng's work.

Because no matter how fast it is, "Avatar" cannot be released in advance to the summer of 2008, and it is even unlikely to be released in the summer of 2009.

The only thing we can do now is to hope that the 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven" is of average quality.

But judging from the consistent level of Jiang Heng's works, it seems a little impossible, which is really depressing.

As for Columbia, it has a completely opposite attitude.

The higher the box office of Jiang Heng's film, the more agency distribution fees they get.

Just after the Spring Festival of 2008, Columbia sent a team to China to discuss the promotion and distribution of the 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven" in North America.

Jiang Heng, who has returned to Beijing, attended a meeting with company executives, and handed over the relevant work to Du Huan, and went to busy himself with the Olympic rehearsal.

With the help of the "super microcomputer", Jiang Heng's ability in command and coordination can be said to be abnormal in the eyes of others.

Jiang Heng was able to arrange such a large-scale event with so many people participating in it in an orderly manner.

It can even be said that when faced with some problems, he almost instantly gave the most optimal answer.

How could it not be the best? The results he gave were all deduced by the "super microcomputer".

Therefore, after the large-scale rehearsal began, Jiang Heng's work was relaxed and not too busy.

As for Liu Yifei, she wanted to work as usual, but was dissuaded by her mother.

"Xixi, I think it's better for you to turn down all your work in the past six months!"

"Ah, why?"

Liu Yifei looked confused, because her mother in her memory always had strict requirements on her, both in study and work, but she never said anything like that.

"Your godfather told me yesterday that there were several girls around Jiang Heng, all of whom had backgrounds!"

"Ah!"

Liu Yifei felt a sense of crisis when she heard this.

"He is the director of the Olympics, and he has the opportunity to come into contact with a large number of girls with good family backgrounds, and they are also very good at performing. It's not surprising that someone is interested in him!"

Liu Yifei looked panicked when she heard this.

All she had was beauty and fame, but her family background was incomparable, and she was instantly under great pressure!

"Do you understand now?"

"Yes!"

"Put your work aside for now, I'll help you turn down the invitations for film and television dramas, and let's get through this period first!"

"Yes, I understand!"

Liu Yifei, who realized it later, started to accompany Jiang Heng the next day, occasionally doing some assistant work, which made the staff on the scene stunned.

Jiang Heng was stunned at first, but soon understood it, and did not refuse, and was still busy with the Olympic rehearsal.

During this period, many people came to visit the set.

For example, Zhou Xingxing, he has been busy with the post-production of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" in Beijing recently.

This movie is jointly produced by iQiyi, Youku, and Xinghui Company, and the special effects are produced by Good Time Company.

The cast and crew were all determined by Zhou Xingxing, and Jiang Heng did not interfere, at most he occasionally made some suggestions.

Zhou Xingxing likes this kind of cooperation model very much, paying money but not interfering in his production, giving suggestions but not making decisions for him.

But many suggestions were better than what he had initially thought, so Zhou Xingxing would come here whenever he had time.

Another person who often came here was Jing Tian, ​​although they had been estranged for a while because of Liu Yifei's incident.

But recently, he has returned to normal, and his relationship with Liu Yifei is the same as before, at least on the surface.

"Hey, brother, what time will you finish your work tonight!"

"Why, you want to treat us?" Jiang Heng asked with a smile.

"Yes!"

Jing Tian smiled sweetly and said, "The company has prepared a big movie for me, so I won't have time to come over in the next few months. I'm going to treat everyone to a meal!"

Jiang Heng said, "What do you mean by everyone?"

"Well, you two, Yingbao, Mimi, Tangtang, just the few of us!"

"Okay, you guys go first, I'll go over after I'm done here!"

Jing Tian didn't want to leave, so he whispered to Liu Yifei on the side, and Jiang Heng continued to work without mentioning it.

After a long while, when he was taking a break, he suddenly remembered and asked, "By the way, what type of film are you going to shoot!"

"Well, a costume war drama!"

"Costume war drama?" Jiang Heng heard this and suddenly had a bad feeling, "Which dynasty?"

"Warring States!"

Fuck, Jiang Heng almost broke down when he heard this.

He thought, I have made you one of the most popular actresses in China, how can you still be involved in "Warring States"!

"Where did the script come from? How much investment? Who are the leading actors!"

"The company bought it at a high price, and we can't write it! As for the investment, it's about 50 million US dollars! As for the actors, the male lead has been confirmed to be Xiao Ming, and the second male lead is still being sought. In addition, there are many veteran actors.

Why, brother, do you want to make a cameo appearance?"

When Da Tiantian said this, his eyes lit up.

Jiang Heng waved his hand and said, "Forget about this one, I really don't have time, let's talk about it next time!"

"Oh!" Da Tiantian's expression instantly wilted when she heard this.

The main purpose of her coming here this time was to get together.

But she was somewhat unhappy to be rejected so straightforwardly by Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng was even more depressed. What's the matter with this upgraded version of "Warring States"!
