Huayu special effects started in 97

Jiang Heng clicked on the reply section of the article and found that many netizens were scolding the film critic, which instantly made him feel happier.

In fact, most audiences are relatively tolerant, otherwise the Chinese-language film market would not have been dominated by bad films for so many years.

Time and again, audiences are deceived into going to the cinema by so-called "famous directors" and "traffic stars" to watch films with confusing plot logic and collapsed character settings.

Unless they have been "cheated" too many times, the "box office appeal" of those "famous directors" and "superstars" will be worn out.

Just one or two box office failures will not have any impact.

But for the movie "The Return of the Great Sage", the so-called "reheating old food" is not a big deal at all.

It should be noted that the film "Lion Camel Ridge" was produced by Jiang Heng in 99, which is sixteen years ago.

With such a long time interval, it is normal to remake and re-screen the film by just slightly changing the plot and making the special effects more exquisite!

The idea of ​​"reheating old stuff" is nonsense. Repeating the work of two years ago is like reheating something that was done the previous night. Drawing on the work of sixteen years ago is called paying tribute to the classics!

On Douban, there are a large number of Jiang Heng’s fans who approached the issue from a similar angle and criticized the film critic fiercely.

Some fanatical fans even started digging up the person’s real information!

……

In the crew of "Jingwei Filling the Sea", Jiang Heng returned to continue filming, and Yang Mi said with concern during the break: "This time, it seems that someone is causing trouble!"

Jiang Heng laughed and said, "It's inevitable. I've been a target for so many years. I don't know how many people want to take me down so they can make money without restraint in the future!"

Yang Mi laughed when she heard that. "That's the truth. Many people say that. You've set the quality bar for Chinese-language films too high, and you've taken up the two best time slots. Films of lower quality simply can't sell for much money!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "So, they won't miss any chance to hit me! But it's not a big problem, even bad movies can make money, not to mention that mine is of high quality!"

"Then I believe it. When the film is finished, take me to see it!"

"no problem!"

In order to meet the deadline, the crew of "Jingwei Filling the Sea" did not stop work yesterday, but was led by executive director Yuan De to shoot the film.

Jiang Heng came here today just to take a look at the results of yesterday's shooting and arrange the shooting plan for the next few days.

Although the market performance of his mythological blockbusters in Europe and the United States is far inferior to that of his science fiction blockbusters, the total overseas box office of 500 to 600 million US dollars is still very promising.

Among them, the largest overseas voting base is North America, followed by Japan.

As for Europe, the markets of each country are not very large, but if considered as a whole, they cannot be ignored.

Therefore, for the overseas promotion of "The Return of the Great Sage", Jiang Heng only went to three places.

One is Tokyo, Japan, one is Los Angeles, America, and the other is Paris, France.

Including the travel time, it takes about a week.

Jiang Heng found Yuan De, first looked at the results of yesterday's filming, then directed another day of filming, discussed the filming tasks for the next few days, and then returned to Beijing.

The next day, Jiang Heng, Zhang Ruolan, Du Huan, Wu Yue, Chen Kun, Tao Hui and others arrived in Tokyo by plane to attend the premiere ceremony held here. Speaking of the Japanese market, this year, under the repeated impact of Hollywood blockbusters and Chinese special effects blockbusters, the local live-action film market performed extremely sluggishly, and only animated films could still hold up the facade.

The more this happens, the more Japanese film producers pay attention to Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters. After all, whether theaters can make money during the summer depends entirely on the movies from the two major countries in the East and the West!
Toho Co., Ltd., which has maintained a long-term cooperative relationship with Jiang Heng, held a grand premiere ceremony. The event was very lively and there were many media reporters present.

Most Japanese media reporters are not familiar with the main actors of the film, such as Wu Yue, Chen Kun, Tao Hui, etc.

However, Zhang Ruolan became famous in Japan for her performance in "The Three-Body Problem". At the event, reporters kept asking her about her work and life, especially whether she was in a relationship and whether she would consider being with Jiang Heng. Zhang Ruolan almost lost control of her facial expression.

She really wanted to admit in front of the reporters, yes, we were together, but it was just something she could think about!
On the plane to Los Angeles, Zhang Ruolan suddenly sighed, "I almost admitted it just now!"

Jiang Heng remained silent upon hearing this. He just held Zhang Ruolan's hand and said nothing.

The people in the back row just looked curious after hearing this.

After all, secrets are secrets to the outside world, but to people in the circle, there are no secrets at all.

Just like many "crew couples", they never do it behind anyone's back.

The industry had also heard about some of Jiang Heng's affairs, but no one dared to disclose them to the media.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Jiang Heng and others took a day off and went to attend the premiere of "The Return of the Great Sage" held by Columbia Pictures the next day.

Prior to this, Columbia Pictures CEO Sanford Panitch first communicated with Jiang Heng about the global release of the American version of "Alien Path".

"Post-production will be completed in two months. Considering your movie schedule, we decided to release it on Christmas. How about that? Isn't this a great decision?"

"Oh, that really couldn't be better, man!"

Jiang Heng was very happy to hear that. The overseas box office of "Alien Path" was already very high. This time the film's narrative subject is the United States. It is conceivable that North American and European audiences will like it very much.

If it is really released worldwide in January or February, it will definitely affect the global box office of "The Legend of Wei: Reclamation of the Sea".

It will be released on Christmas Day, which is really good news for him.

Of course, he also knew what Sanford Panitch was thinking. It was definitely not because of personal relationships, but ultimately a matter of interests.

Columbia Pictures imports many Chinese-language films every year, and only Jiang Heng's works can be released on a large scale in the North American market, frequently entering the top five of the annual rankings or even winning the championship.

The agency and distribution fees for these works have become Columbia's fixed income. Sanford Panitch will definitely not let his "own" works compete with others!
"So in December, we will hold a grand premiere ceremony here, and you must come and support us no matter what!"

"No problem, I will definitely support you!"

"Oh, that's great! By the way, don't forget your beautiful actress. Are you really not together?"

"Why do you ask this?"

"Nothing, I heard that during the filming, an actor in the crew pursued her, and she said she was pursuing you!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Oh, I see!" (End of this chapter)
