Chapter 291 Business tycoons love "The Three-Body Problem"

"Why? Are you afraid that the audience will get tired of it? No, after watching the first part, many people can't wait to watch the second part. They want to see the huge Trisolaran fleet fighting against the human space fleet! Just thinking about that scene is very exciting!"

Megan's eyes lit up when she said this.

Jiang Heng didn't explain immediately. He couldn't say that he was waiting for someone to grow up!
A girl who, in his opinion, is most suitable to play Zhuang Yan and can perfectly interpret the "Beauty Trap".

The real "beauty trap" is not simply about having fair skin, beautiful faces and long legs, nor is it about a charming and alluring woman showing her affection to you.

Instead, the elderly Zhu Chongba was reviewing memorials in the dimly candlelit hall. A girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, who looked very much like Empress Ma, suddenly walked in and said in a surprised tone, "Chongba, you, how come you have become so old?"

I believe that at that moment, Emperor Hongwu would have been extremely excited and shed tears even though he knew that this person was fake!
Zhuang Yan in the book is Luo Ji's ideal girl.

If this girl wants to gain recognition from domestic audiences, she must be the ideal type of most boys.

A "first love face" is more important!

Of course, there is no need to explain these things to Megan.

Jiang Heng found a random excuse to explain it off, and then said that he was going to use her as the female lead in his next movie.

Megan was extremely surprised, and no further mention was made of the incident.

In the following days, she accompanied Jiang Heng to Britain, France, Germany, Italy and other countries for publicity. As a result, Director Jiang couldn't sleep well and had lost weight when he returned home.

During this period, "The Warlords" was released.

In terms of box office, the first day's box office revenue was only 1900 million, which is better than historical records.

But in 2007, when the film market had already been nurtured by Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters, this result was obviously low.

Because the total investment of this film is 40 million US dollars, which is about more than 300 million RMB, it is a real blockbuster.

As for the actors, there are Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Kim Sung-woo, and the lineup is quite strong.

Especially the former, who made 100 million yuan from this movie.

But in terms of box office, it obviously failed to hold up.

It is said that his acting skills are very good and his performance in the film is also good.

However, his performance in the film deviated from the audience's expectations.

What everyone wants to see is the Jet Li who fights in a cool and graceful manner. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have shed tears ten years later when watching the sweeping monk practicing Tai Chi in “Kung Fu Yoga”.

As for the poor box office performance of "The Warlords" in history, another reason was that it was beaten by "Assembly" which was released on December 12.

In this world, this time slot is occupied by "The Three-Body Problem".

The Wang brothers and director Feng did not dare to compete with Jiang Heng, so they scheduled the release date of "The Collection" during the Spring Festival of 2008 so as not to compete with Jiang Heng.

Therefore, there are still competitors during the release period of "The Three-Body Problem", but they are weak inside.

On December 12, the film "The Three-Body Problem" was released simultaneously in a number of film markets around the world.

Because there have been no midnight shows in the past two years, many movie fans arrive at the cinema early to catch the first show in the morning.

Lei Jun drove past a movie theater this morning and saw a lot of people pouring in. He couldn't help but slap his head and said, "Look at my memory. I forgot everything!"

He likes the novel "The Three-Body Problem" very much and has recommended the book to the company's executives and employees more than once.

So the movie "The Three-Body Problem" is definitely a must-see.

However, due to my busy work, I have not been able to spare time for the premiere, preview and other activities of "The Three-Body Problem". It was only today that I finally had some free time.

When he arrived at the company, the first thing Lei Jun did was to ask his secretary to get him two tickets for the movie "The Three-Body Problem", with limited time for today and better seats.

Not long after, the secretary brought six movie tickets, all for the cinema near the company, but three of them had selected time and showtimes.

Lei Jun looked at today's schedule and finally chose the afternoon session and went with his wife.

"It's so lively, just like Chinese New Year!"

"Director Jiang's films are already popular, and there are so many fans of the original novel, so of course there are a lot of people!" Lei Jun said with a smile.

In fact, if you think about it in detail, he is a fan of the original book. Although he also likes to watch Jiang Heng's movies, he is definitely not obsessed with it.

I'm the type who will go to the cinema if I have time, but forget about it if I don't.

"The Three-Body Problem" is different. For Lei Jun, as long as the company's business is not extremely urgent, it can be put on hold. Anyway, you have to go to the cinema to watch it.

After a short while, the two were able to enter.

This cinema is a newly built one under the "China Film Red" cinema chain. The theater is well decorated and the location is good.

It can be said that there is no other problem except that there are too many people.

After watching a few promos, the film officially started.

As the plot unfolds, scenes full of creativity and explosive special effects appear one after another, and billionaires like Lei Jun keep exclaiming in amazement.

And around him were audiences who were shocked by the content of the film.

"Wow, wow, this is awesome, this dehydration effect!"

"It's absolutely amazing, so realistic, Director Jiang is awesome!"

"The Guzheng Project is horrible!"

"The Trisolaran fleet is too oppressive!"

"It can actually monitor all of humanity. How terrifying!"

“When will the second part be released? I can’t wait to see it!”

……

Lei Jun's tone of expression was calmer, but the emotion was very much on point.

In the car, Lei Jun said: "Director Jiang is definitely the best commercial film director in my mind. There is no one better than him in the world!"

"Didn't you say before that Spielberg and James Cameron were excellent?"

"They are very good, but their works are relatively few! Director Jiang, who has such high-quality films and a large number of works, is truly unique and a genius!"

"Aren't you a genius too?"

"I'm just a mediocre person. I've worked for so many years and only have a few hundred million in assets. It's not worth mentioning!"

At this point, he suddenly rubbed his face with both hands and said, "I feel that compared with the story in the film, what I did before was so insignificant!"

"Don't say that. In my heart, you have always been the best. No matter what you do, I will support you!"

"Really? I want to quit!"

In 2007, Kingsoft went public and Lei Jun became financially independent.

Then, he became a little confused. He didn't want to rest on his laurels and enjoy the rest of his life.

I want to leave, but I'm a little hesitant.

He has read a lot of books recently, and "The Three-Body Problem" is the one that made him feel the most and made him want to quit his job more and more.

After watching the movie today, that feeling became even stronger.

It was as if someone was telling him in his ear that once you jump out of the "Gold Mountain", your career has just begun!
There was silence in the car for a few seconds, and then the virtuous voice said, "As long as you have made up your mind, I will fully support you!"

……

On December 12, the film "The Three-Body Problem" was released in China for the first time and attracted a large number of viewers.

Business leaders such as Lei Jun, Zhou Hongyi, Li Yanhong, and Ma Yun all went to the cinemas in their respective cities to watch the movie "The Three-Body Problem". Especially the latter, he strongly recommended the film to his employees at the subsequent company meeting.

“All middle-level leaders in Ali should read The Three-Body Problem at least once, otherwise you will never truly understand Internet thinking!”
