Huayu special effects started in 97

When the new film "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was released, "The Three-Body Problem 2" had already been taken off the screen in many film markets around the world.

Among them, the mainland market closed at 46.7 billion yuan (7.62 million US dollars), breaking the 42.6 of "Alien Path" and becoming the second movie in mainland film history with a box office of over billion.

When the news was announced, both industry peers and domestic audiences were impressed by the super high box office of Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster.

46.7 billion yuan, the shareable box office in the mainland market alone is as much as billion yuan, and including the box office in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas, it is really a big profit.

Among them, the Hong Kong film market closed at 1.12 million yuan, which was more than million less than when "Alien Path" was released.

In Formosa, the film broke the region's film and television box office record, reaching an unprecedented NT$5.98 million.

As for film markets such as Japan, South Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Myanmar, and Singapore, "The Three-Body Problem 2" has very good box office performance.

But the most outstanding market is still the European and American market.

After all, the people of that land feel that the "Dark Forest" law is too much to their liking. The world is like this, and it has always been the case that the advanced eliminate the backward!

In addition, many political and business elites and Internet tycoons posted information or impressions about "The Three-Body Problem 2" on social media, which attracted more and more ordinary people to go to the cinema to find out.

Driven by this wave of movie-watching enthusiasm, the North American box office of "The Three-Body Problem 2" reached a staggering 7.12 million US dollars, surpassing "Titanic" of 6.58 million US dollars and second only to "Avatar" of 7.6 million US dollars.

The impact shocked the entire United States, because if it had been tens of millions more, the box office champion in the history of the North American market would have been taken by a Chinese-language film.

This is really a slap in the face for Hollywood movies that have been "conquering" the global film market.

For a time, the "Chinese-language special effects blockbuster threat theory" was rampant in the North American entertainment industry, and some senior industry directors even suggested limiting the number of theaters where Jiang Heng's films were shown in North America.

Of course, theater owners won’t accept this!
They open a shop to do business, so it doesn't matter which movie they show. The key is to make money by selling it.

Just as when Hollywood blockbusters were popular in China, a number of domestic theater companies also increased the number of screenings of these films.

Secondly, Columbia Pictures, the distributor of Jiang Heng's films, was unwilling to see its "cash cow" wither, so it naturally contacted familiar media and reporters and criticized the "protectionist" remarks.

The viewpoint is freedom and progress, making more and better movies, and ultimately benefiting the vast number of movie fans and audiences.

Unlike the bustling North American market, European countries are relatively quiet.

Of course, the box office results are still quite outstanding, and the so-called "mediocre" only refers to production companies in various countries.

After all, for them, no matter whether it is Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster or Hollywood's blockbuster, no matter who wins the annual championship or who is at the top of the box office list, it will not affect their last place, because they can't beat any of them anyway.

As for making a blockbuster movie to compete, few dare to do so.

The truth is that the scale of the domestic film market is relatively small, and the risk of making blockbusters is too great. It is better to make money as an "agent distributor" and earn more steadily.

However, in more than a month since the release of "The Three-Body Problem 2", the global total box office has exceeded 32.6 billion US dollars, reaching an unprecedented billion, surpassing the previous global box office record of "Alien Path".

What's even more amazing is that "The Three-Body Problem 2" is still being screened in many movie markets, and is being introduced to countries such as South America and Africa. I can't say how much the total box office will be, but there is still hope that it will exceed 33 billion US dollars.

In China, every related report will trigger heated public discussion.

I don’t know how many times it has been on the hot search list, and Douyin is full of news about "The Three-Body Problem 2" breaking the global box office record in film history.

As for Jiang Heng, he felt that the popularity was too high, so he asked the company's people to arrange for him to withdraw.

As the saying goes, too much is as bad as too little. If you read too much news, it can be very annoying.

In addition, because he had to deal with several beauties and concentrate on writing scripts, Jiang Heng rarely met the media after the year. This is one of the reasons why so many media reporters came to the press conference of the new film "Jingwei Filling the Sea".

"Director Jiang, according to the latest news reports, the global box office of "The Three-Body Problem 2" has reached 32.6 billion US dollars, once again breaking the global film history record. Can you tell us what you think?" A reporter said quickly after getting the opportunity to ask questions.

“As for my feelings, I don’t have too many because I expected the film to do very well before it was released. Of course, I didn’t expect it to do this well.

All we can say is that it was the right time, the right place, and the right people. After all, over the years, there are very few Chinese literary works that can compare with the influence of "The Three-Body Problem" in Europe and the United States, and even fewer that are suitable to be made into special effects blockbusters!
So, for such a great result, I would first like to thank Liu Cixin, and secondly, I would like to thank the cast and crew of the drama and the audience who have always supported me!

Finally, I want to say that when you praise The Three-Body Problem 2, please be generous and don’t criticize it too much when the box office of other films is not that good...!"

Everyone at the scene laughed when they heard this.

Because it was the press conference for the new film "The Jingwei Filling the Sea", Jiang Heng only answered questions about "The Three-Body Problem 2" this time.

If anyone asks again, please ask "next one". The topic will still revolve around "Jingwei Filling the Sea", focusing on how the character of Jingwei is unique.

"If we compare this movie to a Hollywood superhero blockbuster, Jingwei Filling the Sea will be the first special effects blockbuster in China that depicts a female 'superhero'..."

When this idea came out, the reporters present were very excited.

It is true that Jiang Heng has shot too many special effects movies. If there is no new promotional hotspot, it will easily cause aesthetic fatigue among the audience!
And Yang Mi, who starred in Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster for the first time in so many years, took the stage, which made all the reporters excited.

The first question was to ask her what she felt about sitting on the bench for so many years and whether she had ever thought about leaving iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

Yang Mi smiled and said, "I have never felt what it feels like to be on the bench for so many years. I didn't star in Director Jiang's special effects blockbusters before because there were no suitable roles. But in terms of TV series, the company has really invested too many resources in me. There are more than ten TV series with a total investment of over 100 million yuan.

There is probably no actress in the entire Chinese entertainment industry who has better TV drama resources than me!

Of course, my results may not be the best, and I want to apologize to Director Jiang for that. I’m sorry for all the resources you and I have given me!”

Jiang Heng held the microphone and said with a smile: "But in my heart, you have always been the best 'TV drama queen' in the country!"

"Wow!"

Yang Mi just looked happy, but the reporters and audience around her kept screaming! (End of this chapter)
