Huayu special effects started in 97

In a mansion in Beijing, Feng Xiaogang, wearing a vest and shorts, sat opposite Liu Zhenyun in front of a tea table.

"Jiang Heng really has too much money and doesn't know where to spend it. He throws it away in large amounts. Seven hundred million, he really is willing to spend it!"

Liu Zhenyun said: "He is young and successful, and he spends money like water. Compared with him, even Prince Wang is not so wasteful! But then again, Yang Mi is really popular, maybe she can really make back the money, so Jiang Heng may not lose this time!"

Feng Xiaogang nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Zhenyun's statement.

The reason I mentioned that just now was purely because I was feeling uncomfortable and just said a few words off the top of my head.

Just like the role of Liu Ye he played in "Mr. Six", he always speaks stubbornly.

In fact, at the beginning of the year, he also established a film and television production company in Dongyang City. Huayi gave it an 5.6 million yuan valuation, invested 70 million yuan to acquire % of the shares, and signed a gambling agreement with him.

When the contract was just signed, Director Feng was in high spirits and he found his old friend Liu Zhenyun to discuss adapting his novel "I Am Not Madame Bovary" into a movie.

Now that the script has taken shape, the two often get together to discuss and modify the details.

Then one day he heard the news that the "shell" company newly established by Yang Mi was valued at 1 billion yuan, and that he could get 700 million yuan by selling part of the shares, which instantly broke his defense.

What he didn't know was that in another time and space, Huayi Company valued his Dongyang Meila at 15 billion yuan, signed a bet agreement, and directly earned 10.5 billion yuan.

However, the existence of Jiang Heng in this world has greatly reduced Feng Xiaogang's status in the Chinese-language film market, and his "valuation" has also dropped significantly.

Of course, although he was somewhat unhappy with Jiang Heng's behavior, he did not dare to show it in front of others.

It's nothing else, it's just that Jiang Heng's influence is too great now. He doesn't dare to offend the theater chain alone.

He would be dumbfounded if the movie was not scheduled for screening.

If you sign a bet agreement and fail to achieve the profit, you will have to lose money!

Therefore, Director Feng would call Jiang Heng every once in a while and arrange a meal with him to keep in touch with him.

When they come across events like premieres, they usually go to help promote them, so that they can ask Jiang Heng to help them when they meet in the future.

"You said, I want to invite him to make a guest appearance, can he come?" Feng Xiaogang suddenly said.

Liu Zhenyun shook his head slightly. "It's hard to say. Over the years, he usually only makes cameo appearances in blockbusters or action movies!"

"Yeah, let's talk about it when we have the chance, but I have to remind him later that we should schedule more screenings for our film when it's released!"

"I don't think this is a big problem. I can still give you this little bit of face!"

"Of course I have to. I have helped him a lot over the years!"

"Yes, everyone has seen it. Director Jiang is not Stephen Chow. He doesn't care about the ways of the world at all!"

"Don't mention him, I feel so upset!"

……

In the capital, at another luxury house, another famous director was also feeling upset.

"This Jiang Heng is clearly showing off his wealth, telling those female stars nakedly that if they hang out with me, they will get rich!"

Chen Kaige sat on the sofa, looking unhappy.

As one of the leading directors in mainland China, Chen Kaige's wealth is naturally extremely substantial, but he also envies Yang Mi for being able to cash out 7 million in an instant.

Another thing is that he has invested a lot in "Legend of the Demon Cat". Now the film is about to be released, and "The Return of the Great Sage" is still in theaters. It would be a lie to say that he is not nervous. Fortunately, Chen Hong came over and comforted him softly: "Why bother with him? Although he is a first-generation rich, his style of behavior is becoming more and more like a second-generation rich. People like him will not last long!"

Chen Kaige felt much more comfortable after hearing this, and immediately smiled, "In fact, he was originally a second-generation rich man. In 97, he had a net worth of tens of millions, and he started to run wild!"

Chen Hong was stunned when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It's a miracle that someone like him can still be so prosperous for twenty years. But after this incident, it's hard to say!"

"how to say?"

"What's worrying is not the lack of wealth, but the inequality of wealth. Women are the most likely to be jealous. Yang Mi has received so much, how can the others remain indifferent? If they follow her example, there will be chaos over there!"

Chen Kaiqiao felt inexplicably unhappy when he heard this, and snorted, "He is so lucky!"

"Why, are you envious?"

"I envy him? All I can think about right now is Legend of the Demon Cat!"

"Legend of the Demon Cat" was originally scheduled to be released on July 7, but was soon changed to August 24, a delay of half a month.

The benefits are obvious, because "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Nine-story Demon Tower", which was released on August 8, was instantly reduced to cannon fodder by "The Return of the Great Sage". The box office on the first day of its release was 1 million yuan, but because of its poor reputation, the box office results began to plummet the next day.

Judging from the current box office trends, let alone the 1 billion yuan claimed at the premiere, it would be good enough if it could exceed 500 million yuan.

The release date of "Legend of the Demon Cat" was half a month later, and by that time "The Return of the Great Sage" was already at the end of its strength.

The only thing that can have an impact on it is Guo Jinming's "Tiny Times 4".

He totally despises this movie, but his fans like it.

Plus, the female lead is Yang Mi, and this is such big news now, it’s hard for the audience not to pay attention!

As for "The Pancake Man" jointly produced by iQiyi, Youku, Tencent Video and Sohu, it is completely out of Chen Kaige's "sight".

Times have really changed. Now anyone can become a director. Is the threshold to enter this industry so low?
On August 8, "Legend of the Demon Cat" was officially released, and the first-day box office results came out, which was only 7 million.

Chen Kaige was stunned when he got the news. He couldn't understand why his movie was obviously very good, but it couldn't even compare to "Nine-story Demon Tower", which was criticized a lot and had a Douban score of only 4.something.

……

In the underground parking lot of the Wukesong branch of the China Film Red Cinema in Beijing, Zhang Ruolan got into the passenger seat of a luxury car and said, "This movie looks okay, why is the box office not high?"

Jiang Heng laughed and said, "Because the audience was scared by Director Chen's previous actions!"

"what!"

"That's exactly what happened. Lao Chen has a strong desire to express himself, and he can't control himself. Jiang Wen also often makes this mistake. When filming, he doesn't care whether the audience understands him or not. He just expresses what he wants to express, and he feels good. That's their logic! But sometimes the audience doesn't understand, and they think they are too deceptive!"

"Oh, that's what happened. But the movie is really good. Yang Guifei is so beautiful!"

"Director Chen is really good. In fact, Zhang Rongrong is not that pretty from an ordinary person's perspective, but the crew used five layers of lighting during the filming to make Yang Guifei so beautiful!"

"Ah, it's so hard!" Zhang Ruolan said in amazement, "It's not easy to make a good movie! I don't want to help promote it, I just want to post the ticket stub on Weibo, okay!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "What's the big deal? Feel free to show it off!"

Zhang Ruolan posted two pictures of ticket stubs on Weibo, with the caption saying that she went to see "Legend of the Demon Cat" and Yang Guifei was so beautiful! (End of this chapter)
