Huayu special effects started in 97

Huayi Company, inside the chairman’s office.

The Wang brothers and Feng Xiaogang sat around the tea table and talked about the rumors about Jiang Heng.

"Old Feng, you participated in the Round Table with him a while ago, didn't you notice anything?" Da Wang asked while pouring tea.

Feng Xiaogang seemed to be lost in thought, as if recalling Jiang Heng's performance on the show.

"If you put it that way, I can really detect something!"

"What's going on?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"depressed!"

Feng Xiaogang said seriously, "If it were us, we would be extremely happy if the mainland box office exceeded 4 billion and the global total box office exceeded 3 billion, but Jiang Heng's performance throughout the whole process was very dull. When talking about the performance of the film, he sounded like he was talking about someone else's business!"

Wang Zhonglei said: "When I watched the show, I also felt that his performance was too bland. To be honest, as bystanders, we were all a little excited when we heard about the box office!"

Da Wang Zong said: "Who says it's not true? Three billion US dollars, how much must he make? The income from this movie alone is enough for many people to enjoy for a lifetime!"

The Wang brothers are genuine first-generation rich, but their style of behavior is more like that of second-generation rich. They are more greedy for enjoyment and are extremely envious of Jiang Heng's money making by making movies.

I have tried several times to follow suit and make special effects blockbusters, but unfortunately the results were mediocre and I didn't make much money.

Feng Xiaogang was also a little depressed because of the box office failure of his previous film "1942" and the poor reputation of "If You Are the One".

Hearing that Jiang Heng might retire, several people were a little excited. They felt that once Jiang Heng retired, they would be the leaders of the future Chinese-language film market.

Although they didn't quite understand where this logic came from, the three of them had a vague feeling about it.

Feng Xiaogang continued to analyze, "I really didn't think much about it at the time. I thought that people were at different levels and had different perspectives. It was so easy to say that such a high box office result was nothing! Now it seems that he may have run out of ideas and reached a bottleneck period!"

Wang Zhonglei said: "It's been almost twenty years, and there are only signs of decline. He is quite talented!"

The king always sighed, "What a talent!"

He immediately said to Feng Xiaogang, "Except for iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, the rest of the domestic film and television companies are just so-so. Once Jiang Heng retires, the boss of the industry will most likely fall to us. Old Feng, you can't just sit there!"

Feng Xiaogang smiled bitterly when he heard this. He didn't know whether Jiang Heng had run out of ideas, but he really didn't have much talent left.

The biggest feeling is that I don’t know what to shoot!

Of course, such cowardly words cannot be said in front of outsiders.

He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "No problem, I'll get some more scripts later, and we'll pick one and make a great movie!"

When the king heard this, his hand holding the teacup trembled.

Blockbuster? He immediately thought of "1942"!

"Comedy is so popular now, how about another one?" Wang Zhonglei suddenly said.

Feng Xiaogang looked a little unhappy when he heard this.

"Comedy?"

...In the industry, bosses, directors, and artists of various film and television companies all talked about the recent hot topic on the Internet about Jiang Heng's possible retirement.

But at the audience level, the topic discussed more is "When did you start to know Director Jiang?"

And on this day, an APP called Douyin was launched.

Wu Aizu, Li Meiqi, Yuan De and others have opened Douyin accounts and posted a short edited video, recalling their moments when filming "The Matrix".

Because Yinfu Technology Company has invested a huge amount of advertising fees, Douyin advertisements have been launched on many Internet products such as Baidu, Sohu, Douban, and Weibo.

Users downloaded the product one after another, first watching the "nostalgic" videos of Wu Qiuzu, Li Meiqi and others, and then browsed other content in the software, and found that the video content was excellent and interesting, and the more they watched, the more fun it became.

The next day, the actors who participated in "100 Million Years BC" released videos of their memories. The specific content was produced by the staff of Yinfo Technology Company, and participating artists like Ge You only need to post it directly on his account.

On the third day, the main creative staff of "Lion Camel Ridge" collectively settled in Douyin, and things became lively by posting short videos with related content.

There are Wu Jing who plays the Monkey King, Lin Zhicong who plays Zhu Bajie, Zang Jinsheng who plays Sha Seng, Ding Haifeng who plays Tang Monk, Zhao Wenzhuo who plays the Golden Winged Dapeng, Chen Zhihui who plays the Green Lion Spirit, Hong Jinbao who plays the White Elephant Spirit, Jiao Xinjun who plays Erlang Shen, etc.

Among them, Wu Jing was the most active. He first posted a short video produced by Yinfo Technology for him, and then posted several stills of himself when he participated in "Lion Camel Ridge" in the form of video.

Seeing the audience’s enthusiastic response, he posted a few more messages, telling some anecdotes from the filming that year.

As the actor who played the toughest Tang Monk in history, Ding Haifeng not only released a customized video, but also posted a video to thank Jiang Heng.

The rest of the creative staff also opened accounts and released videos in accordance with the requirements of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

In theory, these people have no obligation to cooperate since so many years have passed since the filming of the movie.

But Jiang Heng is at the peak of his career at the moment, so it’s just a matter of a word.

But it made a lot of movie fans excited. Looking back at Jiang Heng's filming experience over the years, after "Pacific Rim" came "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" which was directed and starred by Jiang Heng himself!

There are so many celebrities and big names making cameo appearances in that drama. Wouldn’t they all want to join TikTok and relive some memories?

That is obviously impossible. Many people back then were just guest starring for free, unlike actors like Ding Haifeng and Zhao Wenzhuo who received pay for the film.

So many years have passed. It would be a bit unreasonable to invite someone to join Douyin and help post promotional videos just because he made a guest appearance in the past. Jiang Heng definitely cannot do that.

But because of this day, he opened a Douyin account, and not only posted a customized "memory killing" video, but also posted several daily videos, which instantly attracted countless likes, attention and collections.

Jiang Heng’s Douyin account gained 10 million followers in just one day, leaving his peers in the industry stunned.

It should be remembered that it is only 2014 now, and the new Internet track of short videos is not as popular as it will be ten years later, and Tik Tok has only just been launched!

Ten million fans in one day, it’s unimaginable!
What’s even more terrible is that Jiang Heng’s number of fans is still increasing!

The first to feel the pressure was Miaopai, which relied on Weibo and used celebrities to attract traffic.

Because Weibo belongs to Jiang Heng, and there are more and more big-name celebrities on Douyin, so how can they compete?
Short video companies such as Kuaishou and Meipai were also shocked by the rapid development of Douyin short videos.

Jiang Heng has shot more than 30 movies in the past decade. If he shoots one movie a day to recall all the memories, that would take more than a month!

With so many celebrities participating, it really took up all the attention! (End of this chapter)
