Huayu special effects started in 97

The popularity of "The Great Wall" is continuous and not a flash in the pan for a few days, because the word of mouth is really good.

In terms of the plot, the general direction respects historical facts, while the details are completely new, so that the audience can't help but think that monsters like Taotie may really exist in history.

Prince Fusu may have died in the battle with the Huns, rather than committing suicide as described in history books.

Of course, this speculation is only the opinion of a small number of film critics and has not been widely recognized.

After all, the value of Han Dynasty history books is still very high, unlike the history books compiled in the Qing Dynasty, which have always been suspected of being tampered with...

In terms of the mainland box office, "The Great Wall" quickly broke through the 1 billion mark and headed towards 2 billion and 3 billion.

In the Hong Kong and Formosa markets, "The Great Wall" also achieved good results, but it was not as sensational as Jiang Heng's works.

The film performed very well in the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets.

Even in the fiercely competitive North America, "The Great Wall" has a place. Judging from its box office performance in the first weekend, the film's final results may exceed 200 million US dollars.

If that were the case, it would surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An. It would also far exceed the more than 50 million US dollars that "Hero" achieved in the North American market.

In general, "The Great Wall" is a successful movie and also a very profitable movie.

If we analyze it in detail, the story of this version of "The Great Wall" is not twisted and is very consistent with the rhythm of commercial films.

In addition, the film's special effects, composition, and colors are all excellent, which is a plus.

Another thing is that Zhang Yimou is an internationally renowned director, and the story is set during the reign of Emperor Qin Shihuang, which is familiar to foreigners. This has attracted many overseas audiences.

Many of these people have watched "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and were deeply impressed by the cruel emperor played by Jet Li and his powerful army in the film.

I heard that the movie "The Great Wall" tells the story of the son of a cruel emperor, a compassionate heir to the empire, who is willing to give up his right to the throne in order to protect civilians from monster attacks and eventually perishes together with the monsters. Most European and American audiences will be interested in watching the movie.

Firstly, I have an inexplicable sense of familiarity, thinking that the image of Fusu is somewhat similar to Prince Hamlet. Secondly, I feel that the thoughts of the characters in the film have universal values.

For a time, the movie "The Great Wall" sold well in North America and European countries and had a good reputation.

As various news spread back to China, director Zhang Yimou became more and more famous.

For a time, Zhang Yimou received countless invitations for interviews and talks. He accepted a few and turned down most of them.

Instead, he went to Jiang Heng's office to "complain", saying that he had never seen such a scene in his life.

Jiang Heng handed over a cigar, and Zhang Yimou waved his hand, indicating that he was not used to smoking this.

Jiang Heng ignored him and lit up the cigarette himself with a smile. He took a puff and said, "If you feel annoyed, why not take your sister-in-law out for a vacation? The company will pay for it!"

"Isn't this bad?"

Zhang Yimou subconsciously declined, but his attitude was not very firm.

Jiang Heng smiled, "What's wrong with that? You just finished shooting a movie, so you must take a break and go out to relax. Maybe you will get some inspiration!"

"Yeah, that's right. Then I'll learn to be fashionable and go travel to relax!" Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

"The Great Wall" really made a fortune this time, bringing in too much profit to the company. Travel and other things are just small money, and the box office dividends in the future are the big money.

Of course, he was not worried that Jiang Heng would embezzle his money. With a net worth of hundreds of billions, he still had a good reputation.

Zhang Yimou was so excited that he couldn't help talking about the box office, saying that all the movies he had made before combined did not make as much as this one!
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "This time, your dividend will be an astronomical figure, not worse than Cameron, Spielberg and others. But we have agreed that you can't just think about retiring after taking the money. I still hope that you will continue to contribute to the company!"

Zhang Yimou was even happier when he heard Jiang Heng talking about Cameron and Spielberg. He said, "Of course not. My whole family depends on me. I will not retire until I can no longer shoot!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "That's good, that's good!"

After chatting for a while, Zhang Yimu left happily.

When he was about to get off work, Yang Mi called him and asked him to have dinner with her in the evening. Jiang Heng was very surprised because after the hit of "The Great Wall", Yang Mi's fame and status skyrocketed instantly, and she had countless business activities. Jiang Heng had forgotten how many times he had seen her in the entertainment news.

"came back?"

"Well, I came back at noon, just finished attending an event, and then I called you, I'm fine!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Okay, our Miss Yang Mi can think of me despite her busy schedule. I am so touched!"

"Not only am I thinking of you, I'm also going to reward you!"

"Ok!"

Jiang Heng instantly perked up after hearing this.

"What to eat tonight, where?"

Da Mimi mentioned the name of a restaurant, and after Jiang Heng hung up the phone, he drove there alone.

When I arrived, I saw Da Mimi, dressed in jewels and precious stones, in the box.

"Wow, the jewelry today is very beautiful!"

"It looks good, right? It was given to me by the organizer. It's because I don't have a boyfriend to give it to me!"

Yang Mi pinched the necklace with a proud look on her face.

Jiang Heng smiled, "What's a piece of jewelry? I'll give you a jewelry company!"

"real!"

Yang Mi has always been very career-oriented and has always wanted to start a company and become a boss.

In this life, her agency contract has always been signed with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, and she has not been able to break out and start her own business, which makes Da Mimi feel a little regretful.

As for venture capital outside the entertainment industry, she has never dared to try because she does not understand it and does not have the energy.

When Jiang Heng said he wanted to give her a jewelry company, her mind instantly became active.

"Honey, what do you think if I start a luxury brand and run it myself?"

Jiang Heng said: "You can try, but it won't be that easy to succeed!"

"Is it not possible even if you help me to endorse it?" Da Mimi sounded a little disappointed.

Jiang Heng said: "Luxury goods need time to mature. What we lack is time. If it is a trendy brand, it will be much easier!"

"Tide brand?"

Yang Mi seemed to be thinking about something. In fact, according to her current fame and status, the fastest way to make money is still through filming and investing in film and television dramas.

But she has always wanted to be a boss, and no one can be famous forever.

Especially for actresses, the good times only last for a few years.

Once your appearance declines, your career will decline in a matter of seconds!
Jiang Heng saw her hesitation, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "There is no need to hide anything between us, we can speak openly. Whatever ideas and wishes you have, I can help you realize them within my ability!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Mi expressed her thoughts. She would have to retreat behind the scenes one day, but she was unwilling to sit idle and wanted to be her own boss.

Jiang Heng smiled, "No problem, just start a company!"

Yang Mi asked tentatively: "Film and TV companies, is that okay?" (End of this chapter)
