1993 My China Entertainment Age

In other words, "Detective Dee: The Empire of Heaven", a big-budget movie with an investment of 1.3 million, has only made 1.9 million at the box office across Asia, which is still more than [-] million short of repaying the original investment.

Fortunately, the film is still in theaters. If it continues to develop according to the current trend, it is quite promising to get another [-] million box office.

However, it is basically impossible for the film to make back the money in a short period of time, but it is not a big loss, it can only be regarded as a small loss. Considering the current strength of Century Group, it is almost negligible.

Before Jiang Xiaofeng invested in this movie, he also considered the possibility of losing money, but in order to create the movie IP of "Di Renjie" and launch subsequent works, he still chose to invest.

In order to build momentum for the film and stabilize the confidence of investors, Jiang Xiaofeng also specially held a grand celebration banquet when "Detective Detective" exceeded the 2 million box office.

Under Jiang Xiaofeng's series of operations, Century Group's stock price has always remained at a relatively controllable position, even if it fluctuates every day.

At the same time, Jiang Xiaofeng and Tsui Hark also started planning the preparations for the next "Detective Dee".

As director Tsui Hark, he hoped that Jiang Xiaofeng could continue to play Dee Renjie, but Jiang Xiaofeng was not very interested, so he recommended Wu Jian to Tsui Hark: "Wu Jian has good potential, talent and popularity. I am very optimistic about him."

Tsui Hark also understood Jiang Xiaofeng's thoughts. After all, it was reasonable for a person of Jiang Xiaofeng's status and status to stop acting.

However, Jiang Xiaofeng was also worried that with Wu Jian's current box office appeal, it would be difficult for him to take on a big role for the time being, so he told Tsui Hark: "Director Xu, let's put this project on hold for now and let's see how Wu Jian develops in the past two years. After all, this is not Small projects."

Tsui Hark was not in a hurry, and Jiang Xiaofeng took advantage of the situation and proposed the idea of ​​​​finding Jet Li to shoot the movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

Jiang Xiaofeng knew that this was Tsui Hark's long-standing plan and did not practice Tai Chi with Tsui Hark. Instead, he directly promised him that he would cooperate with Jet Li within three years.

Tsui Hark also believes that Jiang Xiaofeng can do what he says, because in the entire Chinese film industry, the most powerful person is Jiang Xiaofeng, and only he has such capital.

Time flies by so fast, and in the blink of an eye it is already the end of November. With the release of many movies such as "Jiangshan Beauty" and "My Name is Liu Yuejin", the 11 Lunar New Year holiday has begun.

What is very different from previous years is that the types and themes of this year's Lunar New Year films have deviated from the single track of comedy Lunar New Year. War films, science fiction films, and emotional films have all appeared one after another, so the audience has more choices.

In this battleground for military strategists, "Myth" produced by Century Group with an investment of 1 million yuan will inevitably compete head-on with "Assembly" produced by Huayi Brothers with an investment of 9000 million yuan.

The release date of "Assembly Number" directed by Feng Xiaogang has been finalized as December 12. This schedule can be called the prime time of the "Lunar New Year".

And Jiang Xiaofeng was not afraid of the challenge and set the release date of "Myth" on the same day, December 12th.

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng chose this schedule not just to show off, but because it was New Year's Day, which is almost the best schedule of the year.

If you miss these ten days, "Myth" will have to wait for the Spring Festival schedule in February, when many blockbusters such as Zhou Xingchi's "Yangtze River No. 2" will be released.

It is worth mentioning that "Assembly" filmed by Feng Xiaogang this year is also his transformation work. It is no longer a New Year comedy, but a very cruel movie, with the ending of 47 soldiers killed in action.

An equally sad film is "The Myth" directed by Chen Jiashang and starring Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan. The final ending of the film can also be called a tear-jerker.

In order to build momentum for the film "Myth", Jiang Xiaofeng also specially invited Tan Jing and Sun Nan to record and sing the theme song - "Beautiful Myth".

Although Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan have already recorded a version of "Beautiful Myth" in advance, Jiang Xiaofeng feels that having Tan Jing and Sun Nan sing another version will also be a very good publicity for the movie itself.

In fact, after the two versions of "Beautiful Myth" were released one after another, they did cause quite a stir online and offline. Many viewers learned about the movie "Myth" through this song.

Especially Jiang Xiaofeng, who has not released a new song in several years, this time he sang "Beautiful Myth" with Kim Hee Sun, which quickly topped the charts of major music charts. His charm as a singer is still the same as before.

Many netizens are also hotly discussing on the Internet whether the duet between Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan is more touching, or whether the duet between Sun Nan and Tan Jing is more touching. Everyone has different opinions.

March 12th, late.

Century Entertainment Group, the investor of "Myth", held a grand premiere in Yanjing.

In addition to the main creative staff of the crew, thirty or forty stars including Zhou Jilun, Sun Nan, Zhou Jilun, Hu Ge, etc. came to support the film. "The person in the dream, the familiar face
You are the tenderness that I wait for
Even if tears flood the sky and the earth
......"

Watching Sun Nan and Tan Jing perform another version of "Beautiful Myth" on the stage, Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan smiled at each other, but they couldn't help but feel sad in their hearts.

Because every time they hear the melody of this song, Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan can't help but think of the beautiful memories of the two of them being innocent and sad in the play, and the gunfire outside the play.

Moreover, after being separated for such a long time, Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan were very touched by this rare reunion.

Although in just a few months, Jin Xishan has become someone else's wife, Jiang Xiaofeng's feelings for this most beautiful woman in Korea have not diminished, but have become more yearning for her.

At the premiere, Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan also had a lot of interactions. Jin Xishan called Jiang Xiaofeng "Oppa" in standard Korean, and her eyes got a little wet.

When asked by a reporter if he was confident that the box office of the movie "Myth" would surpass Feng Xiaogang's "Assembly", Jiang Xiaofeng did not give in and directly replied: "Of course I am confident, and I think, I think we "Myth" and "Assembly" produced by Huayi are two different types of movies, and our audiences should be different too."

In fact, Jiang Xiaofeng has no confidence in the movie's box office, because Feng Xiaogang's box office appeal is very impressive in the current Chinese film market.

Moreover, the "Assembly" filmed by Feng Xiaogang is indeed a good movie. Jiang Xiaofeng can only pray in his heart. He does not seek to surpass, but can only try to be as equal as possible.

Jiang Xiaofeng did not predict the movie's box office as before, but said hypocritically and calmly: "Box office is not our biggest pursuit. We just want to make a good movie so that everyone will feel it is worth the ticket price!"

"Of course, we are definitely confident enough in the box office of the movie. We also hope that everyone can support it and go into the cinema to support our "Myth"."

As early as a month ago, the publicity and development team started to hype that Jiang Xiaofeng was accepted into the movie "Myth" because of a line. Many people have been curious about what words have such great charm.

This time at the premiere of "Myth", the mystery was finally revealed.

When the protagonist played by Jiang Xiaofeng criticized overseas museums for being hypocritical and banditry in the movie, the so-called "preservation of national treasures for us" was a hypocritical act of banditry, and the scene actually burst into applause twice.

This line is really powerful and inspiring. Director Chen Jiashang said that Jiang Xiaofeng specially wrote this line into the film.

This is also Chen Jiashang's personal experience over the years: "I have been overseas for so many years, and every time I see national treasures lost in other museums, I feel angry. What do you mean by 'keeping it for us'? This is telling lies with open eyes!"

"We want to let our Mr. Jiang Xiaofeng speak out this passage through a commercial blockbuster that can be seen by the whole world!" Chen Jiashang did it, Jiang Xiaofeng did it!

In addition, Jiang Xiaofeng's bravery, Kim Hee Sun's beauty and charm, and Malika's sexiness are all vividly displayed in the film.

However, some viewers questioned why the Indian section was added, and the story would be complete if this part was cut.

Is this arrangement just to attract the Indian beauty Mallika to attract attention and increase box office revenue?

Others say that the film portrays Kim Hee-sun as a stunning beauty, but some aspects are not handled satisfactorily.

For example, when I was doing a portrait of Kim Hee-sun, I finally made her laugh, but she was not as beautiful as expected. Not to mention the size of her eyes, her mouth was crooked.

But no matter what, the combination of heroes and beauties and the story mode are still the long-lasting box office elixir of the movie.

The song ended, and when the audience walked out of the premiere, they were still discussing their opinions.

The vast majority of viewers believe that "Myth" is a very successful and touching commercial film.

"This is the best-looking blockbuster among all the hyped blockbusters in recent years. It completely surpasses "Heroes", "House of Flying Daggers", and "Seven Swords". The plot is very compact, and the story is well-written and tense. It's romantic and I like it very much." Some viewers bluntly expressed their admiration for "The Myth". No wonder the investors are confident that they can recover their 1 million investment.

Many fans of Jiang Xiaofeng said that after watching the movie "Myth", they suddenly felt that "Beautiful Myth" sung by Jiang Xiaofeng and Jin Xishan was more touching than that sung by Sun Nan and Tan Jing. (End of chapter)
