China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Mainland young people were influenced by Hong Kong movies and dramas and once felt very close to Hong Kong artists.

When media information became more developed, we realized that many of these people and things were questionable.

Jiang Heng couldn't say anything about Zhou Runfa.

I just feel that when he was called "box office poison", it was John Woo's "A Better Tomorrow" that made him famous.

Later, there was a controversy about resigning from "Red Cliff", which was a bit disgraceful.

So many years later, when asked about this past incident again, Wu Yusen still felt brooding.

Of course, he didn't have any friendship with Wu Yusen. He just regarded Zhou as an ordinary Xiangjiang artist and didn't need to look at him with a "filter".

But Zhou Runfa couldn't stand it. He had been in the Hong Kong film industry for so many years, and no one of his younger generation would be respectful to him when they saw him.

Furthermore, what he just said to Jiang Heng was completely complimentary and even flattering.

Jiang Heng treated him like this, which one could be tolerated?

"Director Jiang, a young talent. His films are getting better and better, but as the old saying goes, if you walk by the river often, your shoes will never get wet. Special effects blockbusters have huge investments. Once they fail at the box office, the entire company will lose money!" "

Jiang Heng laughed, "It's okay, I have a lot of money, so I'm not afraid of compensation!"

Zhou Runfa was choked by these words, and for a moment he didn't know how to refute.

On the other hand, Zhang Ziyi's eyes lit up.

"Is Director Jiang writing scripts during this time?"

Jiang Heng nodded, "Well, I'm going to co-produce a film with Columbia!"

Zhang Ziyi's eyes became brighter and brighter, "What type of heroine is she?"

Jiang Heng said: "Still thinking!"

Li Yu suddenly said: "The two companies are co-producing, so the investment must be huge!"

"It costs 100 million U.S. dollars at least!" The original "Pacific Rim" was filmed in 2011. Taking into account actors' salaries, inflation and other factors in the past ten years, Jiang Heng gave an approximate production cost.

But both Zhou Runfa and Zhang Ziyi were stunned. One hundred million US dollars, should they say less?

All of a sudden, there were so many thoughts.

Chow Run-fa was a front-line player in Hong Kong, but in Hollywood he has been mixed in the second- and third-tier houses. He first acted in two low-budget films, and then had the opportunity to star in the big-budget "Anna and the King." The investment in this film was not small, more than 9,000 yuan. Ten thousand dollars!

Unfortunately, it performed poorly at the box office. It only grossed over 30 million in North America and just over 100 million worldwide. However, the production company suffered a huge loss. It is estimated that no big productions will come to him in the future.

If I can star in Jiang Heng's film... Great directors have tempers, and he is so young, why should I be like him!

Zhou Runfa was very upset, but he said that Zhang Ziyi had already set his sights on the heroine of Jiang Heng's new film.

It's okay if I didn't have the opportunity before. Now that I have the opportunity to visit Jiang Heng's home, I wouldn't miss the opportunity.

"Director Jiang, let's leave your contact information. I will be in the United States during this period. If we have time, we can go out to have a meal together!" Zhang Ziyi said.

There was nothing wrong with this. Jiang Heng couldn't refuse, so he exchanged numbers.

Zhou Runfa also took the opportunity to leave his phone number, as if the unpleasantness just now had never happened.

He also generously invited me to dinner. Jiang Heng said with a smile: "If you come to see me, of course I will be the host!"

Immediately, he drove a few people out to have a big meal. During the period, they talked about the box office performance of "Shituoling" in various regions, and they were all complimentary.

Soon, Jiang Heng left the villa and went to live in New York.

During this period, Pascal called and told him the film's schedule, which was scheduled for July 28.

Jiang Heng recalled the box office list of 2000 and found that none of the films released that day could hit the box office. He was very pleased.

After staying in New York for a while and cooperating with Li Yu to promote "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Jiang Heng returned to China.

But Han Sanping learned on the phone that Jiang Heng was going to co-produce a blockbuster film with Columbia Company, and he couldn't sit still anymore.

If it weren't for his special status, he would have wanted to fly to the United States, so he could only urge him on the phone.

After learning about Jiang Heng's flight, they sent a special car to pick him up.

"Hello, Director Jiang, Director Han is attending an important meeting and can't come over. Please order me to pick you up!" The driver said and came over to help with the luggage.

Jiang Heng had seen him, but he wasn't too reserved. He got in the car and asked casually: "How are you, Director Han, doing lately?"

The driver chuckled and said, "Well, that's good. I've been looking forward to Director Jiang's return and said he wanted to hold a celebration party for you!"

During the time Jiang Heng went to the United States, the mainland box office of "Lingguo Ling" has exceeded the 400 million mark, and is on the way to 450 million!

In the case of extension of the secret key, there is still hope to achieve it.

Of course, 500 million is definitely out of the question.

China in this era is far from what it will be twenty years later.

"Director Han, do you want to open it for me?"

"Well, I heard that's what I meant above. The box office performance of "Shituoling" has boosted the mainland film market and has a positive significance...!"

The car soon arrived at China Film Company, and Han Sanping led a group of senior executives to greet him at the door, "Director Jiang, it's been a hard journey!"

Jiang Heng said hurriedly: "Why, why do you have such a big posture!"

A senior executive said: "Director Jiang, the box office of one of your films is one-third of last year's. You are a great contributor to Chinese-language films. You should, you should!"

After exchanging a few polite words, a group of people went upstairs.

It was still Han Sanping and Jiang Heng who held a small meeting first.

In the big office, Han Sanping poured tea and said slowly: "I went to the department for a meeting. The leader said that the movie "Lion Camel Ridge" is good. One movie has one-third of the box office of last year. Many theaters made money because of this movie and avoided closing down this summer. They can pay wages, avoid layoffs, and maintain social stability...!"

Jiang Heng felt guilty and said: "Tell the leader that I will definitely continue to make good movies and strive to make greater contributions!"

Han Sanping waved his hand, "Not only that, that, you have also seen the box office of "Lion Camel Ridge" in the mainland. There is still hope for 450 million. You will get about 150 million."

Jiang Heng took a breath and became more cautious after hearing this.

"What does Mr. Han mean?"

Han Sanping smiled, "It's not what I mean, but I heard some news. Well, the country intends to change the current film company screening system and prepare to reform the theater chain system."

Jiang Heng was overjoyed after hearing this.

If you want to become a truly influential movie tycoon, it is not enough to just make movies, you also have to take control of the cinema chain.

Jiang Heng would naturally not miss this opportunity, but he could not be too positive, lest there was no room for bargaining.

"This is a good thing, I am not short of money, I can take all the 150 million box office share!"

Han Sanping was overjoyed when he heard this, "I feel relieved when you say this! You don't know that those projection companies concealed the box office and stole...!"
