China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

In order to fulfill his hospitality, Jiang Heng took Li An to a big meal.

This greatly increased his favorability. He felt that Jiang Heng was not arrogant and conceited at a young age. He was generous and enthusiastic. He was really a good person!

Before leaving, he did not forget to say thank you!

Jiang Heng was even happier. Making money was only one aspect. What he cared more about was that he produced an excellent Chinese-language movie. That was all.

In the following days, Jiang Heng continued to stay in the mansion in Beverly Hills.

During this period, Brother Cheng Long came to visit once, and then he also bought a house, and the two became neighbors.

He is currently filming "Shanghai Noon" in Hollywood, a scene in which a palace guard rescues a Qing Dynasty princess who fled to the United States.

The heroine in the film is Liu Yuling, a very distinctive Chinese actress.

Not long after, Li An called and sounded a little frustrated.

His first choice for the male lead has always been Jet Li, but when he got the investment and went to meet the other party with the script, he was told that he had to accompany his wife and could not participate.

Jiang Heng felt that he could fully imagine Li An's frustration, so he persuaded him a few times on the phone and suggested that he contact Zhou Runfa to try.

Li An's first reaction was to refuse. Can Fa Ge also play a hero in ancient costume?

But there was no better choice for the time being. Although Wu Yuzu was quite famous at the moment, he seemed to be a little short of playing a master-level hero!

Li An did not mention contacting Zhou Runfa, but said that Jiang Heng waited until mid-April and finally set off to return to China to start preparing for the filming of "Lion Camel Ridge".

After arriving in Beijing, Jiang Heng first rented an office building, and then registered a company called Beijing iYouTeng Films, but he was ready to use Beijing as the center of his career development.

The news spread and instantly shook the Beijing entertainment circle.

Knowing that Director Jiang had a YouTeng Film in Hong Kong, and that he had another "iYouTeng" in Beijing, I don't know what these three words mean!

Han Sanping was already set to serve as the vice chairman and general manager of China Film at this moment, but it had not been finally announced, so he didn't dare to make any moves at this time.

It was just a phone call, so he scanned it and hung up.

As a small shareholder of Bonna Company, Yu Dong naturally helped out and asked Jiang Heng if he had any big projects.

This person who always ran a shell company suddenly started recruiting employees on a large scale. He was going to do something big!

Jiang Heng did not hide it from him and said with a smile: "We are going to do something big, a blockbuster!"

Yu Dong was stunned, "How big is it?"

Jiang Heng opened his hand and stretched out five fingers!

"Five thousand, ten thousand?" When Yu Dong said the word ten thousand, his voice became louder involuntarily.

Jiang Heng smiled, "Add US dollars, read it together!"

"Fifty million US dollars!"

Yu Dong's eyes widened, and his expression at that moment was very similar to Brother Biao.

Jiang Heng seemed to see a scene of a man being beaten, but Yu Dong had a strong psychological quality and would definitely not be beaten.

He just asked louder and louder: "You want to invest 50 million US dollars, that's more than 400 million! Isn't the risk too big?"

He is a small shareholder of Bonna Company under Jiang Heng's name. Hearing this, it seems that he has a part in the 400 million investment.

Jiang Heng thought, there is a little risk!

The actors are all from the mainland and Hong Kong, and they don't hire big names, so the salary and production costs will not be much.

The so-called 50 million US dollars is just used to improve the "book expenses". He can also come up with a better special effects level and make a real myth blockbuster.

The news spread, and it shocked not only the Beijing entertainment circle, but also the entire mainland, including Hong Kong and Taiwan.

50 million US dollars, more than 400 million RMB!

At this moment, the annual box office of the mainland and Hong Kong film market combined is only more than 2 billion. With these two markets, Jiang Heng can never recover the cost anyway, so he has to look at the overseas market.

But whether Chinese myth special effects blockbusters are popular in Europe and the United States, that is unknown to anyone!

It is easy to understand why "The Matrix" is a big hit in Europe and the United States. Computers are not yet popular in mainland China, but there are already the most basic artificial intelligence there.

"100 Million BC" also had good box office worldwide, because the plot is simple and easy to understand, and everyone knows dinosaurs.

Even children can tell which is a pterosaur, which is a velociraptor, and which is a Tyrannosaurus Rex!

If you let foreigners watch Chinese mythology, they may not be able to tell who is who and what it is about!

For a while, the whole entertainment industry was talking about Jiang Heng.

He made some money from two movies, and he didn't know what his last name was. He dared to invest so much money!

At the actor level, everyone was ecstatic.

The top film and television resources in the Chinese entertainment industry suddenly arrived, disrupting the schedules of many people.

Beijing, Shanghai, Hengdian, Hong Kong, Formosa, filming locations, crews, hotels, restaurants, some people still had makeup on their faces, some were waiting for auditions, and some were discussing cooperation with investors, but they all answered the phone at the same time, and were shocked after hearing the news.

And the phones of those who were slightly closer to Jiang Heng had been bombarded with calls.

All asked whether the investment of 50 million US dollars was true.

How many roles were there in this play, and which one could they get.

Hong Jinbao, Yuen Biao, Yuan De, Yuen Wah, Wu Yizu, Li Meiqi, Ge You, Xu Qing..., almost everyone who had worked with Jiang Heng was bombarded with calls.

Because almost everyone could not contact Jiang Heng.

In the Beijing Film Studio, Han Sanping, who received the news, had a dull expression, "50 million, US dollars, is he crazy? It's hard to make some money, don't lose it all!"

He hurriedly picked up the phone to make a call, and the prompt tone of the phone you dialed was heard.

Han Sanping thought about it and ordered the driver to drive him to the newly rented office building of Jiang Heng.

This time, because of the script and the restructuring of Beijing Film Studio, he was unable to participate in Jiang Heng's new film, but as a friend and elder, he felt that he had an obligation to advise him.

You are rich, but you can't spend it like this!

What if you lose money?

What if the movies he makes in the future will not be so popular!

Han Sanping was anxious and kept urging the driver. It took more than ten minutes to arrive at the downstairs of Jiang Heng's newly rented office building.

Entering the building and going up to the floor where iQiyi, Youku and Tencent are located, he had asked someone to send a flower basket before and knew the specific location.

When he arrived, he saw that the entrance of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent was also crowded.

I can only say that the news spread too quickly in the city. Where did they hear this from?

Han Sanping still had a lot of face. His driver went up to the security guard and was quickly let in.

In Jiang Heng's huge office, Han Sanping was still in shock, "You kid, long time no see, you make a big scene right away!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "I didn't expect this situation!"

Han Sanping sneered, "Can you not think of it? I don't believe it, you are secretly happy now, right? The film hasn't been shot yet, but the reputation has been spread first! 50 million US dollars, more than 400 million, what are you thinking!"

Jiang Heng looked very innocent, "I didn't think much about it, I just wanted to make a movie that I like and am satisfied with!"

"The Matrix and 100 Million Years BC are not enough for you to be satisfied?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "I always feel that it's not good enough!"
