Huayu special effects started in 97

At the bottom of a residential building in a high-end community, Reba got out of the Mercedes-Benz S600, waved goodbye, and left slowly.

Looking at the swaying figure, Jiang Heng couldn't help but be distracted for a moment.

Liu Yifei has been busy filming recently and hasn't been around for a long time. As for Jing Tian, ​​he was so bored that he went on vacation.

Even a big boss and director like Jiang Heng feels empty and lonely.

He leaned back in his seat and thought for a while before saying, "Drive."

The luxurious car started slowly and disappeared into the night of the capital.

Upstairs, when Reba reached the window, the luxury car was gone, and she couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

The words typed in WeChat were eventually deleted.

……

In late September, the long-awaited science fiction blockbuster "Alien Path" held a new film press conference in Beijing.

Of course, this is just the registered name and it will definitely be changed when it is released.

Hundreds of media gathered at the event and took photos of the huge concept poster.

"I never thought that the heroine this time would be Dilraba Dilmurat!"

"Yeah, I thought it would be Liu Yifei or Jing Tian!"

"Yang Mi is also very pretty. She's so popular. I don't understand why Director Jiang never let her play the leading role!"

"Maybe it's because she's acted in too many TV dramas, so Director Jiang thinks it's not suitable!"

The reporters at the scene took photos and chatted, waiting for the event to begin.

At ten o'clock, a host came on stage, it was Wu Jing's girlfriend Xie Nan.

The two started dating last year and openly announced the news of their relationship on social media, so much so that when Xie Nan introduced Wu Jing, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.

"Teacher Wu Jing, when are you planning to marry Xie Nan?" a female reporter asked with a smile.

"It will end after the filming of this drama is finished!" Wu Jing responded domineeringly.

Everyone at the scene cheered, and a reporter asked Xie Nan, do you agree?

Xie Nan smiled and said, "Let's wait until he proposes!"

Wu Jing pretended to kneel down, and Xie Nan hurried to support him, "Today is the new film press conference, don't use your power for personal gain!"

"Hahaha!" The atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated.

When interviewing Di Lieba, Xie Nan first asked her what she felt about the film.

Reba’s answer was a bit conventional. After all, she was relatively young and not as free and easy as Wu Jing.

She said that after reading the script, she felt that the worldview was very grand and novel. The birth of this film will open a new chapter in Chinese-language films and will present a magnificent science fiction world to the audience.

Afterwards, several veteran actors who were present at the event were interviewed. They were all carried in flowery sedan chairs by the crowd and they said some complimentary words.

At the end, the film's director Jiang Heng came on stage.

As soon as he appeared, he was greeted with a flood of cheers.

"Director Jiang, it seems like everyone is really looking forward to seeing you at this event!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "The higher the expectations, the greater the pressure I feel!"

Xie Nan said hurriedly: "With your level, I believe you will bring us an excellent work!" "Then I'll lend you my good wishes, haha!"

Given Jiang Heng's current status and achievements, it's okay for him to be humble, but being overly humble would make him seem hypocritical.

He then talked about the film's selling points and answered a few questions, and the new film launch conference ended.

That afternoon, the crew moved into the China Film Digital Base and made some preparations before officially starting filming the next day.

The next day, all major media reported the news that Jiang Heng's new film had started filming. The bosses and directors were extremely jealous, and the actresses were envious.

In the office of the CEO of Huayi Company, the Wang brothers sat opposite each other, looking at each other.

"This Jiang Heng is really hardworking, with one movie after another!" the elder brother sighed.

Wang Zhonglei said: "But I have to say, he is really good. He earns more than 90% of the entire industry by himself. He simply leaves no room for man to survive!"

"Who says it isn't?"

Huayi's financial fortunes have not been very good in the past two years. First, Feng Xiaogang's "13" failed in the Lunar New Year period, and then Xu Ke's "Detective Dee: Rise of the Mystery Phantom Flame" failed in both box office and reputation during the Spring Festival period.

Not to mention that it has dealt a heavy blow to Huayi, at least in the short term it will not be able to produce any special effects blockbusters. We can’t afford that!
But for such a large company to operate, there must be projects, otherwise it will just become an empty shell.

When they were totally helpless, they had to go back to the old ways and asked Wang Shuo to write a comedy script and ask Feng Xiaogang to direct it. That movie, "Private Tailor", contributed many famous scenes and was going to be released during the Lunar New Year period at the end of the year. Let's hope it can have a good box office!
In addition to Huayi Company and the Wang brothers.

Most film and television companies in the industry have given up the idea of ​​making special effects blockbusters.

After all, Jiang Heng's works are like towering mountains, and have been appreciated by mainland audiences for more than ten years.

It is really unrealistic for other companies to build a small earthen building and pretend to be famous mountains and rivers and hope to make money by charging fees.

Just like the era when Jackie Chan and Jet Li dominated kung fu movies, there was no room for a third kung fu superstar!

Therefore, these companies are currently eyeing the direction of comedy and youth films.

Especially after "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Thailand" both achieved box office revenue of over 1 billion RMB, the hot money in the already stimulating market was generated.

After the results of the 13 Spring Festival were released, everyone found that "Little Hours", which had a very bad reputation, could take in hundreds of millions of yuan at the box office. After making a fortune, it can be said that everyone rushed into this track!
China Film, Huashi Film Group, and Guangxian Film Group jointly produced the film "So Young", which was released in the off-season of April and earned over 4 million yuan at the box office.

The glamorous CEO Wang Changtian became more and more fond of this method of making a small profit with a big investment, and he teamed up with Xu Zheng to produce "Lost in Hong Kong", which is scheduled to be released on this year's National Day.

As for not going to the Lunar New Year box office, it is naturally because these two feel guilty.

After all, it involves the issue of "copyright". If it is targeted during the Lunar New Year period, it would be a waste of effort if no money is made.

"But speaking of it, Director Jiang is really generous. Our movie is about to be released, but he hasn't said anything yet!" Xu Zheng said in a puzzled tone.

Wang Changtian took a sip of tea and said, "Maybe he really doesn't think highly of it and doesn't bother to care. Maybe he's waiting to see the box office results before deciding whether to sue or not!"

Xu Zheng nodded, "That's possible!"

The film was a big hit, and iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video filed a lawsuit. As the producer, Guangxian will probably have to pay some money.

If the movie does average box office, there's no need to bother with it.

Of course, both Xu Zheng and Wang Changtian are optimistic about the box office prospects of "Lost in Hong Kong".

Firstly, there is the fan base of "Lost in Thailand", and secondly, the cast is stronger and the jokes are more frequent. There is no reason why it shouldn't be a big box office hit!

At that time, there is no need to be afraid of lawsuits. At most, you will have to pay some money.

If you are in the entertainment industry, are you still afraid of lawsuits?
What really worries these two people is that Jiang Heng, through his influence on several major domestic cinema companies, believes that reducing the number of screenings of "Lost in Thailand" will be a precise attack on them! (End of this chapter)
