Huayu special effects started in 97

Chapter 521 Popular all over the world

The film received overwhelming praise from the audience, but the media had mixed reactions.

The Wall Street Journal believes that Jiang Heng's new film is as devoid of substance as ever, relying entirely on special effects scenes to attract audiences, and the plot is full of loopholes. The most intolerable thing is that the Panda Country was the first to master the "hyperspace travel" technology and successfully sent an adventure team to prove that it is real and feasible... Even if it really exists, it should be in the hands of the United States, right?
The Los Angeles Times analyzed the huge impact and threat posed by Jiang Heng's works to the Hollywood film market from the perspective of film market share.

"The King's Avatar", which was released at the beginning of the year, grossed $4.45 million in the North American market, and its global box office was $17.3 billion.

In less than half a year, another sci-fi blockbuster was released. How much will it win in the North American market?
Four hundred million? Or six hundred million dollars?

The scale of the film market is limited. If Jiang Heng takes more, others will inevitably get less.

Then we analyzed the Hollywood blockbusters that have already been released in the North American market, and found that not a single one had a box office of over 300 million.

"Captain America 2: The Winter Soldier", which ranked first, only took in $2.59 million in North American box office. It's too bad, really too bad.

If there are no restrictions, Hollywood blockbusters that dominate the world will sooner or later be defeated by Jiang Heng's works.

It is also predicted that the box office champion of the global film market in 2014 will most likely be Jiang Heng's work.

The "Jiang Heng's work threat theory" has become a "cliche" in Hollywood. It can be said that whenever a Jiang Heng film with huge box office potential is released, the media here will always "hype" it up, so that North American audiences are familiar with it.

In a white farm family in Texas, old John is lying in a rocking chair reading a newspaper, his wife is making breakfast in the kitchen, and his children are still sleeping in upstairs.

When it was time to eat, Old John suddenly said, "How about the whole family go to the movies on Friday?"

"Oh, no, Dad, I have a date. I'm sorry I can't accompany you!" The eldest daughter Monica apologized.

Old John looked at his son, and his son, Little John, was a little embarrassed, "Alice and I agreed a long time ago that we would go to see Director Jiang's new film!"

Monica smiled, "We are going to watch that movie too, it's Jiang's work, it's worth watching!"

“Yes, there is no false propaganda, the special effects scenes are always so shocking, and the story is also very smooth...!”

Little John mentioned several advantages, and then said: "But speaking of it, I still prefer his The Matrix series and Inception. His current works are basically popcorn movies, but even so, they are better than many Hollywood blockbusters!"

Old John finally interrupted, "After so many years of filming, the inspiration will eventually run out, so a lot of times, I don't go to the theater to watch it, unless the newspaper mentions the 'threat theory' again, then it's probably another good work!"

The rest of the people at the table laughed, obviously agreeing with this point of view.

So on Friday, July 7, old John's family divided into three groups and went to the cinema in the city to watch a movie.

"Oh my God, I haven't seen so many people in the cinema for a long time?" Old John's wife exclaimed.

"A lot of people did come. It seems that everyone thinks this movie is good!" said Old John.

"Maybe everyone is looking forward to the day when they can break out of the earth and plunder alien civilizations!" said old Mrs. John with a smile.

The original novel "Alien Path" is a European and American science fiction novel, and its ideas are in line with the adventurous and colonial spirit of ocean civilization.

Today, when resources are becoming increasingly scarce and internal competition is becoming more and more serious, the setting of discovering a "new world" and plundering alien civilizations really fits the subconscious thoughts of European and American audiences.

As it turns out, this setting really makes the audience in the North American market happy.

In the cinema, when the "Dijiang" spacecraft successfully completed its "hyperspace jump" and appeared near Jupiter, the whole audience applauded and cheered.

"Oh my God, this is so great, I really hope there will be such a day!"

"If such a day really comes, I think we can form a private exploration and plundering team. A few people can pool their money to buy a spaceship, bring a large amount of weapons and food, and hire some people. A dozen or twenty expedition teams can conquer a planet with a low-level civilization!" A bearded white man said excitedly.

"Haha, by then, we'll have wealth, beauties, and fine wine, and we won't have to live like this anymore!" said a man who looked a little down and out, with a bottle of wine in his hand.

When they saw the Ice Queen played by Liu Yifei appear and almost destroy the "Dijiang" expedition team, some praised Liu Yifei for being so handsome and cool and liked her very much.

Some people also think it is not good, "How can there be a magic civilization in the universe? Even if there is, it should not be a match for firearms!"

"No matter how powerful a magician is, a nuclear bomb will turn him into ashes!"

"Due to environmental restrictions, it's not that powerful when it goes to a non-magical planet. This setting is pretty good!"

It can be said that the audience in the North American market really loves this film.

It's not just the outstanding visual effects, but more because of the huge discussion sparked by the content and setting of the film.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, Jiang Heng's new sci-fi work has a freshness rating of 93%, and tens of thousands of people immediately flocked to give it positive reviews.

There are countless discussions about the film and its content settings.

In terms of box office performance, it achieved an impressive record of 1.12 million US dollars in the first three days of the weekend, shocking the entire North American market.

Before, the media only speculated that this film would be a hit, but judging from the current results, it is going to be a huge hit!

Although it is unlikely to surpass Avatar's box office record of $7.6 million in the North American market, there is still a high probability that it will exceed million or even just over million.

All the Hollywood film companies were in mourning, except for the film distributor Columbia Pictures, which was cheering and extremely happy.

The company's CEO Sanford Panitch called Jiang Heng when the first day's box office results came out.

After seeing the amazing box office results in the first three days of the weekend, he made the call immediately.

"Oh, my Greatest Jiang, your film is so great. Do you know how well it performs and how popular it is?"

Jiang Heng could naturally guess the approximate results of the first three days of the weekend, but since Sanford Panitch kept talking, he just followed his lead.

"Oh, how much can it be, 90 million, or 100 million?"

"It's $1.12 million. The word of mouth is so good. I dare say that the North American box office will be at least $6 million. The results in Europe may be even better than here. You are going to make a fortune this time!"

"Europe? Maybe!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

As the birthplace of Western civilization and the Age of Discovery, the somewhat declining Europe really likes Jiang Heng's new film.

After all, the economic structure of the global market has been established, and without major changes, it will be difficult for Europe to restore its former glory.

Unless, as in the movies, there is "hyperspace jump" technology, and humans on Earth flock out of the Earth to conduct interstellar exploration and plunder.

When talking about this, they become very excited, because that is a craft passed down from their ancestors!

Although this is almost impossible, European audiences still showed great enthusiasm for this movie. The box office results were very good and even broke Jiang Heng's box office records in various European countries.

When the news reached back home, it caused an even greater sensation.

The mainland box office, which was already very hot, is rising like a somersault!
Major media outlets have predicted that the box office of Jiang Heng's film in mainland China will probably exceed 4 billion.

Four billion, what a horrifying number!
For a time, major domestic news media requested interviews, and many variety shows and talk shows also wanted to invite Jiang Heng to participate.

At this moment, Jiang Heng was on the set of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", directing the filming.

He was not the director, but the producer, and the title of director still fell to Yan Fei and Peng Damo. However, these two were newcomers in the film industry and their shooting efficiency was not high, so Jiang Heng came to the crew to guide them.

Each of his brilliant ideas won the admiration of the crew members.

It turns out that Director Jiang’s films not only have large investments and stunning visual scenes, but also have ingenious designs!
After finishing a set of scenes, Zhang Ruolan hurried to make tea for Jiang Heng like a little assistant.

"You look very tired, there's no need to do this!" Jiang Heng took the teacup, took a sip and said.

Zhang Ruolan wiped the sweat off her forehead with a handkerchief. "It's okay. It's not hard. I just feel that Director Jiang has taken so much care of me and taught me so much. I would feel uneasy if I didn't do something!"

Jiang Heng chuckled and didn't continue the topic.

After taking two more sips, he said, "According to the current progress, the filming will be finished by the end of August, which won't delay your going to Beijing Film Academy at all!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Ruolan was both surprised and reluctant.

I was happy that I could go to a university, and a top performing arts school like Beijing Film Academy. What I was sad about was that after going to school, I wouldn't be able to see Jiang Heng as easily as I do now.

After finishing four years of college, will I still have the opportunity I have now?
"That's great. Then I can learn how to act properly, so I don't have to ask you to direct me all the time!"

Jiang Heng thought, even if you learn, you won’t make much progress.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

For an actress, beauty is the most important thing!
The reason why Jiang Heng waited so many years to film "The Three-Body Problem 2" and insisted on casting Zhang Ruolan to play Zhuang Yan was because he felt that her "first love face" was in line with Luo Ji's imagination of a perfect woman.

A playboy like him would definitely not be interested in glamorous women. What he really likes are girls who look innocent and as pure as a blank sheet of paper!
"You are actually very talented. You have a great appearance and temperament. If you can improve your acting skills, your future will be limitless!"

Jiang Heng praised her, and Zhang Ruolan believed it, her eyes became bright and charming.

"Really? I feel a little embarrassed now!"

"What's this!"

……

The two were chatting enthusiastically. The male protagonist Shen Teng was also chatting with a beautiful woman, who was his old partner in "Happy Twist" Ma Li.

At the beginning of the preparations for "The Richest Man in Xihong City", Shen Teng wanted to help Ma Li, but later when he saw Zhang Ruolan being solemnly introduced by Jiang Heng, he realized that there was no chance at all.

And after the filming started, I felt more and more that the two people had a close relationship.

Director Jiang, when have you ever directed a small or medium-budget film?
But now, he is called the producer but doing the work of the director, obviously trying to promote the little girl to the top!

Therefore, he had long given up the idea of ​​helping Ma Li, but the latter was still somewhat unwilling, so she came to take a look under the pretext of visiting the set.

"How's her acting? Can she take over your role?"

"He is still very spiritual. He is worthy of being selected by Director Jiang. He is indeed extraordinary!" Shen Teng praised.

Ma Li was stunned when she heard this, and felt that Shen Teng’s tone was not right.

"Really? The little girl is so talented?"

"Ah, God has given me food to eat!"

"Well, that's... really good!"

Ma Li said something insincerely and glanced at Jiang Heng. Seeing Zhang Ruolan smiling like a flower, she felt even more uncomfortable.

"Hey, I heard that Mr. Zhang wants to adapt "Charlotte's Troubles" into a movie?"

"Ok!"

Shen Teng nodded, but his eyes were a little vague.

He knew what Mary was thinking and wanted to win the heroine.

But judging from the current situation, Mr. Zhang will most likely still have to cooperate with Director Jiang.

There are a lot of beautiful artistes signed by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. If Ma Li is among them, there will be many gaps. It is hard to say who will get the first job in the end.

Of course, he hoped that his old partner could play the female lead, but he was powerless. How could small actors like them possibly compete with the capital?

That’s director Jiang Heng. His new films have been selling like hot cakes in overseas markets, and have also broken domestic box office records.

According to current box office trend forecasts, it is likely to exceed 4 billion.

Four billion? I can't even imagine it.

"Hey, Shen Teng, if this is really going to be made into a movie, can I play the role of Ma Dongmei?"

"It's useless for me to say this. In my opinion, if Director Jiang says you can do it, then there will be no problem!"

Ma Li also knew this. She glanced at Jiang Heng, took a deep breath, and walked over quickly.

"Hello, Director Jiang. I'm an artist from Happy Twist. My name is Ma Li. I played the role of Ma Dongmei in the drama version of "Charlotte's Troubles". Now I heard that the two companies are going to continue to cooperate and launch a movie version. I want to ask...!"

Ma Li is straightforward and courageous.

She didn’t have the chance to attend the premiere ceremony last time, otherwise she would have dared to compete for the female lead in “The Richest Man in Xihong City”.

This time I came here with courage just to finalize the role of Ma Dongmei.

Otherwise, if Jiang Heng and Zhang Chen really agreed to use female artists from iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, she would be in real trouble.

Jiang Heng was having a great time chatting with Zhang Ruolan when he was startled by Ma Li who suddenly showed up.

After hearing her request, I couldn't help but laugh.

"Indeed, we are preparing to release "Charlotte's Troubles". I talked to your CEO Zhang about the casting. He recommended many people, and I agreed with most of them, but I rejected a few!"

When Ma Li heard this, she became extremely nervous.

Even Zhang Ruolan didn't dare to breathe.

How should I put it? At this moment, Jiang Heng's words really decide the future of many people's acting careers!

How could Ma Li not be nervous? Who agreed and who disagreed?
"Director Jiang, what about me?"

Seeing that Ma Li's voice had changed, Jiang Heng also teased her and said with a smile: "I agree with Shen Teng playing Xia Luo and you playing Ma Dongmei!"

"call!"

Ma Li let out a long sigh, and felt that she was almost out of strength. (End of this chapter)
