Huayu special effects started in 97

In this version of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", the heroine Bai Ru is played by Zhao Liying.

So if Jiang Heng wants to bring a female companion to the red carpet, he can either choose the film's heroine Zhao Liying, or choose one of Liu Yifei, Jing Tian, ​​and Zhang Ruolan.

Considering that the year is coming to an end and harmony is the most important thing, Jiang Heng thought again and again and decided to attend the red carpet with Zhao Liying.

He is the producer of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", so it makes sense for him to walk the red carpet with the heroine.

The reason why the news of him walking the red carpet with Yang Mi did not become bigger news was that their apparent relationship was that he was the producer and the leading actress!

"Hey, Liying!"

"Ah, Director Jiang, hello!"

Zhao Liying was very shocked when she received the call, because Jiang Heng seldom called her. She really didn't know how important the matter was that could make Director Jiang call her personally to inform her.

"Is your evening gown ready?"

"Ah, I'm prepared!"

"That's fine. On the day of the premiere, put on your makeup and wait for me. We'll walk the red carpet together!"

"what!"

Zhao Liying was stunned for several seconds. When she came to her senses and wanted to say something, Jiang Heng had already hung up the phone.

The assistant hurriedly asked, "What did Director Jiang say on the phone?"

"He told me to put my makeup on and wait for him that day so we could walk the red carpet together!"

"Oh, that's great!"

The assistant was dancing with excitement, "Director Jiang, are you going to start a scandal with me?"

"Can't you?"

Zhao Liying lowered her head slightly, her tone sounding very unconfident.

Among all the female artists signed by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, she is the least confident one.

He is not very tall, nor is he extremely good-looking. He is not a professional in acting, and the resources he gets are only second-tier in the company.

Jing Tian had helped her to secure resources many times, otherwise she would have doubted whether she could survive.

Director Jiang suddenly wants to walk the red carpet with her. What's going on?

After thinking about it, Zhao Liying decided to call Jing Tian.

Da Tiantian snorted after hearing this: "He is addicted. I was thinking about being with him, but I didn't expect that he would ask you to accompany him!"

Zhao Liying was startled and said quickly, "Why don't you come here!"
Da Tiantian said, "No, he has decided on something, and he will change it at any time. Let's do it according to his wishes. I will go there when the time comes. Do you welcome me?"

Zhao Liying didn't know whether to laugh or cry. "Of course!"

……

Time soon arrived for the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", and the venue was chosen to be the Wukesong branch of China Film Red Cinema.

Because the subject matter was not very "eye-catching", Bonna Pictures expected that there would not be many reporters and audiences, so they did not dare to choose a too large place.

On that day, just as Yu Dong and others had expected, there were not many reporters at the scene.

This is because the news that Jiang Heng will attend has spread, otherwise there would be even fewer people.

And when Jiang Heng and Zhao Liying walked onto the "red carpet", the reporters who originally thought there was nothing to take pictures suddenly felt that the trip was worth it and took pictures non-stop.

Because the venue was small and the red carpet was short, no interview session was arranged. Jiang Heng and Zhao Liying entered the cinema's largest IMAX 3D theater together.

Yu Dong, Xu Ke, Han Tong, Zheng Kai and others who had already come in came over to shake hands.

"Thank you Director Jiang for coming and supporting us!" Xu Ke said with a smile.

"That's right, I'm also the producer of the film!" "That's right, the film can be made like this, thanks to your direction!"

After a round of business exaggeration, everyone sat down to watch the show.

This premiere was not arranged to be watched in its entirety, but was instead conducted in the form of interviews, programs and highlights. The entire event lasted about an hour and a half, and the overall atmosphere was quite warm.

After the premiere, there was a reception dinner as usual, but compared with the grand ceremony for "The Great Wall", it was really not on the same level.

Xu is not angry, after all, the investment of the film is not at the same level. This movie is only over 100 million, and "The Great Wall" is 100 million US dollars. It is normal to treat them differently.

Yu Dong felt a little depressed. He really wanted to make a movie with a total investment of more than 100 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, in the entire Chinese-language film market, the only people who can control such a large investment are Jiang Henggeng and Zhang Yimou.

Chen Kaige dares to shoot, but the problem is that he doesn’t dare to invest!
The next day, major entertainment media reported the news that Jiang Heng and Zhao Liying walked the red carpet together to attend the premiere of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

Many viewers only then noticed that there was such a movie about to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday.

Because at this moment, the attention of most of the audience was attracted by "The Great Wall".

This movie is really popular. In addition to the rapid growth in box office, there are many discussion posts on Tieba, forums, Douban and Weibo.

Another difference between this year and previous years is that there are many wonderful short videos about "The Great Wall" on Douyin.

Too many viewers go to the cinema to watch movies after seeing exciting short videos.

Therefore, the box office of "The Great Wall" has grown very fast. It has now exceeded 2 billion. Looking at this growth trend, it is possible to surpass "The Mermaid"!

In comparison, the popularity of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is much smaller. After all, the market potential of mainstream movies has not yet been tapped.

On the day of its release, it only earned 1.32 million yuan.

Compared with the investment in the film itself, this result is still quite outstanding.

But with the success of "The Great Wall" as an example, neither Yu Dong nor Xu Ke were that excited.

However, the Wang brothers of Huayi were secretly envious when they saw this, because Xu Ke made money again with this film.

Assuming that the final box office of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" is 1.2 billion yuan, the share of the box office attributable to the producer is about 400 million yuan.

After deducting the 100 million yuan in production costs, the profit is almost 300 million yuan!
Three hundred million is not a small amount!
So the Wang brothers invited Xu Ke to dinner again in the name of congratulations and to discuss the new film.

Jiang Heng, while handling company affairs, is also seriously considering his next movie.

Because he promised Yang Mi that she would be the female lead in this movie and he would play the male lead.

Therefore, there cannot be too little love scenes.

In terms of subject matter, it is nothing more than science fiction, mythology, mecha and the like.

Jiang Heng thought about it again and again, and still felt that mythological themes were more suitable.

Then I started to think about whether to choose between traditional Chinese mythology, mythological novels, and fantasy novels.

Choosing the first two means creating a new story, while choosing the latter means adapting the original work, and neither option is hassle-free.

Jiang Heng pondered over it for several days in a row, but still couldn't come up with an idea. Gradually, he became a little annoyed.

One day, Zhang Ruolan suddenly came to the company to see him.

Jiang Heng was puzzled and asked, only to find out that everyone else was on winter vacation. He couldn't help but laugh, "You guys are so lucky, you still have winter vacation!"

"If you are tired, take a break. If you are tired, go out and relax!"

Zhang Ruolan always remembers the time they drove to the beach together last year. Thinking about it now, it still seems very beautiful.

Jiang Heng thought it was a good idea, and immediately led Zhang Ruolan out of the capital and headed southwest to Dali. (End of this chapter)
