Huayu special effects started in 97

On New Year's Day, Jiang Heng and Zhang Ruolan passed through Chongqing and had dinner at a restaurant near Jiefangbei.

Looking through the window at the dense crowds of people celebrating New Year's Eve downstairs, Zhang Ruolan couldn't help but feel envious.

"Hubby, let's go celebrate the New Year later, okay?"

"Why, you want to say goodbye too?"

Zhang Ruolan nodded hurriedly, "Yes, 2014 is a year of great transformation for me. This time last year I could never have dreamed that I would become a star. It's so dreamy!
I just want to follow the crowd and say goodbye to the past at midnight!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you!"

Having said that, it is impossible to let Jiang Heng wait for several hours.

It was not until after eleven o'clock that the two of them wore masks and blended into the crowd, and at midnight they joined in the shouting.

“Goodbye 2014, here I come 2015!”

"Getting better and better!"

“2015, be nice to me!”

After the countdown, people around him shouted all sorts of things, but Jiang Heng was not that excited.

He knew that New Year's Eve wouldn't change anything.

Of course, he will definitely get better and better, because he is the one who controls the resources, and money will automatically increase continuously.

Zhang Ruolan, on the other hand, seemed particularly excited. After shouting, her little face turned red like an apple.

After the New Year's Eve, the crowd gradually dispersed, and Jiang Heng and Zhang Ruolan also returned to a nearby hotel.

Seeing that she was still a little excited, Jiang Heng asked if she wanted to drink some more wine.

Zhang Ruolan nodded, and Jiang Heng went to the car to get some red wine, and returned to the room to continue drinking and chatting idly.

Zhang Ruolan still has many expectations for the future, but Jiang Heng is much more indifferent because he knows that the world is not getting better and better.

Perhaps after 2018, when the entire internet recognized the happiest summer, he began to retire.

If you count carefully, it's only been four years.

If the filming schedule remains the same as before during these four years, there will be eight more works.

Jiang Heng had not yet decided what kind of film he should make to put a perfect end to his directorial career, so he came out to relax.

Every day I drive, see different scenery, drink and chat in the evening, and immerse myself in the land of tenderness.

A few days later, the two arrived in Dali.

After visiting the ancient city and strolling around Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, I boarded a plane and set off for my return journey.

As for the car that drove all the way here, it was naturally handed over to the driver and bodyguards following behind to take it back.

After returning to Beijing, Jiang Heng began to write scripts in seclusion, spending most of his time in his own mansion, and occasionally going to the iQiyi Building to handle some important matters.

In fact, the group company has been on the right track since its development.

Jiang Heng has the help of a "super microcomputer", so it is almost impossible for his subordinates to fool him with the accounts.

Send a few people to prison every year or so, and gradually no one dares to engage in corruption.

With corruption eliminated and generous incentive policies in place, the overall atmosphere of the group company is still very good, and Jiang Heng basically doesn't have to worry too much.

All he needs to take care of are the company's major decision-making matters and some promotional events that he must attend, such as the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem 2".

As the second film in the world's most famous science fiction series, "The Three-Body Problem 2" can be said to be highly anticipated. Not only are domestic audiences waiting for the film to be released, but ordinary audiences overseas and elites from all walks of life also have the greatest expectations for this film.

As a result, even before the film was released and the promotional activities officially started, there was widespread discussion in major forums, and the heat was getting higher and higher.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that The Three-Body Problem 2 will be a box office miracle. Other films that were also scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival have been unable to bear the pressure of the box office and have decided to postpone or advance their release dates.

In Beijing, in the meeting room of Huayi Pictures, representatives from several producers including Shanghai Film Group and Yaolai Pictures gathered to discuss the advance release date of "The Heroes" .

The movie "Heavenly Warriors" was produced by several companies including Huayi, Shanghai Film Group, Yaolai, and co-produced by eight or nine other companies including Penguin Video and Ali Company. It was written and directed by Li Rengang, and starred Jackie Chan, John Cusack, Adrien Brody and others. It is a costume action blockbuster.

In the eyes of the bosses of Huayi, Shanghai Film Group and other companies, although "Heavenly Warriors" cannot compete with "The Three-Body Problem 2", it is still possible to make some box office revenue by being released during the Spring Festival.

But judging from the recent market feedback, it seems that there is no room for survival. "The Three-Body Problem 2" is really too popular!
Shanghai Film Group, Yaolai, Huayi and Meituan, which were responsible for the film's promotion and marketing, suddenly realized that if "Dragon Blade" was released on the first day of the Lunar New Year, it would most likely be directly crushed by "The Three-Body Problem 2", and if that happened, they would suffer huge losses.

Representatives from several companies suggested that the release date should be advanced, even if only by a week.

But Brother Cheng Long didn't want to. The film was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival, but it was suddenly moved up. Doesn't it mean that he is afraid of Jiang Heng? Where would his face be?

Therefore, the negotiation ended in a bad mood.

Brother Cheng Long was very unhappy and wanted to find someone to drink with.

Although he has many friends in the capital, Jiang Heng is the only one who is of equal status and with whom he can get along.

"Hey, what are you doing, brother!"

"Write a script!"

"Come out for a drink!"

"Why do you suddenly want to drink with me?"

"Oh, I'm feeling upset, do you want to come out?"

"Okay, you name a place!"

Jiang Heng has been in the industry for many years and has always had a good relationship with Cheng Long.

Over the years, the eldest brother has helped him promote or guest-star in movies many times, so he has to give him some face.

Jiang Heng packed up, went downstairs and drove to the hotel that Cheng Long mentioned.

When he entered the box, he found that only Cheng Long was inside. He was very surprised because his eldest brother always had a group of followers when he went out.

"Why is it me today?"

"Hey, I'm feeling depressed and I'm too lazy to call anyone else, I just want to talk to you!"

My eldest brother was not a man who could keep things to himself, and after a few drinks, he told the whole story.

"I know, kung fu movies are a bit outdated! No matter how hard I risk my life or how thrilling the scenes are, it's hard for the movie to make over 1 billion. It can't compare to your special effects blockbusters!

But I want to ask, is there no hope at all? Were we taking huge risks in the last Spring Festival movie season? "

Jiang Heng looked embarrassed when he heard this. If it weren't for "The Three-Body Problem 2", "Dragon Blade" would still have made a lot of box office during the Spring Festival.

But between "The Three-Body Problem 2" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City", he really doesn't think that this movie, which only leaves the audience with the impression of a flying saucer hat, can have much box office revenue. There is really nothing to watch!

"Each time period has its own aesthetics, and the audience's preferences are not static. For example, the initial hard bridge and hard horse, and the later chic and elegant. After watching too many explosion scenes, people think that special effects are interesting. But sooner or later, the audience will get tired of my special effects blockbusters!"

Cheng Long definitely understood these principles, but he didn't expect Jiang Heng to think this way.

"You mean, even special effects blockbusters will eventually become boring to the audience?"

"Sure!"

"how long?"

"Ten years!" (End of this chapter)
