Chapter 478 Turn On
Downstairs of a high-end residential building, Reba got off the Mercedes-Benz S600, waved goodbye, and left.
Looking at the swaying back, Jiang Heng couldn't help but be absent-minded.
Liu Yifei has been busy filming recently and has not been around for a long time. Jing Tian, as a matter of fact, was bored and went on vacation.
Even a big boss and director like Jiang Heng felt empty and lonely.
He leaned back in his seat and thought for a while before saying "drive".
The luxury car started slowly and disappeared in the night of Beijing.
Upstairs, when Reba came to the window, there was no trace of the luxury car, and she felt a little disappointed.
The words that had been typed in WeChat were finally deleted.
…
In late September, the long-prepared science fiction blockbuster "Alien Path" held a new film press conference in Beijing.
Of course, this is just the name of the record, and it must be changed when it is released.
At the event site, hundreds of media gathered and took pictures of the huge concept poster.
"I can't believe that the heroine this time will be Dilireba!"
"Yeah, I thought it would be Liu Yifei or Jing Tian!"
"Yang Mi is also very pretty. She is so popular. I don't understand why Director Jiang has never let her play the leading role!"
"Maybe she has acted in too many TV dramas and Director Jiang thinks it is not suitable!"
The reporters at the scene chatted after taking photos and waited for the event to start.
At ten o'clock, a host came on stage, but it was Wu Jing's girlfriend Xie Nan.
The two fell in love last year and openly announced the news of their relationship on social platforms, so that when Xie Nan introduced Wu Jing, there was a burst of laughter at the scene.
"Teacher Wu Jing, when are you going to marry Xie Nan?" A female reporter asked with a smile.
"We will get married after the filming of this drama!" Wu Jing responded domineeringly.
Everyone at the scene applauded, and a reporter asked Xie Nan, do you agree?
Xie Nan smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after he proposes!"
Wu Jing pretended to kneel down, and Xie Nan hurried to help him, "Today is the new film press conference, don't use your power for personal gain!"
"Hahaha!" The atmosphere at the scene became more and more heated.
When interviewing Di Lieba, Xie Nan first asked her what she felt about the film.
Dilireba's answer was a bit conventional. After all, she was relatively young and not as free and easy as Wu Jing.
She said that after reading the script, she felt that the world view was very grand and novel. The birth of this film will open a new chapter in Chinese-language films and will show the audience a magnificent science fiction world.
Afterwards, several old actors who were present were interviewed, all of whom were carried by the sedan chair and said some praises.
At the end, the director of the film, Jiang Heng, took the stage.
As soon as he appeared, he attracted a tide of cheers.
"Director Jiang, it seems that everyone is really looking forward to you in this scene!"
Jiang Heng laughed, "The higher the expectations, the greater my pressure!"
Xie Nan hurriedly said: "With your level, I believe you will bring us an excellent work!"
"Then I'll give you good wishes, haha!"
Jiang Heng's current status and achievements, it's okay to be modest, but being too modest would be hypocritical.
Then he talked about the selling points of the film and answered a few questions, and the new film press conference ended.
That afternoon, the crew moved into the China Film Digital Base and made some preparations before filming, and officially filmed the next day.
The next day, major media reported the news of Jiang Heng's new film. The bosses and directors who saw it were extremely jealous, and the actresses were envious.
In the office of the general manager of Huayi Company, the Wang brothers sat opposite each other and looked at each other.
"This Jiang Heng, one after another, is really capable of tossing!" The elder brother sighed.
Wang Zhonglei said: "But I have to say that he is really good at it. He earns more than 90% of the entire industry by himself. He simply leaves no room for people to live!"
"Who says it's not true!"
Huayi's financial luck has not been good in the past two years. First, Feng Xiaogang's "1942" failed in the Lunar New Year period. Later, Xu Ke's "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" collapsed in both box office and reputation during the 2013 Spring Festival.
Not to mention that Huayi was seriously injured, at least it will not be able to make special effects blockbusters in the short term. It can't afford it!
But such a large company needs to operate, and there must be projects, otherwise it will become an empty shell.
In desperation, they had to go back to the old way and asked Wang Shuo to write a comedy script and find Feng Xiaogang to direct it. The movie "Private Tailor" that contributed many famous scenes was scheduled to be released at the end of the year during the Lunar New Year period, hoping for a good box office!
In addition to Huayi Company and the Wang brothers,
Most film and television companies in the industry have given up the idea of making special effects blockbusters.
After all, Jiang Heng's works are like towering mountains, and mainland audiences have appreciated them for more than ten years.
It is really unrealistic for other companies to make a small earthen hut pretending to be a famous mountain and river and want to collect money.
Just like the era when Cheng Long and Jet Li dominated kung fu movies, there was no room for the survival of a third kung fu superstar!
So these companies are currently eyeing the path of comedy and youth films.
Especially after "Lost in Thailand" and "Lost in Thailand" both achieved box office revenues of over 1 billion yuan, the hot money in the already stimulating market.
After the results of the 2013 Spring Festival were released, everyone found that "Hourly" with a bad reputation could win several hundred million yuan in box office revenue. After making a lot of money, it can be said that they all rushed into this track!
China Film, Huashi, and Guangxian jointly made a "So Young" that was released in the off-season in April and won more than 700 million yuan in box office revenue.
Guangxian's CEO Wang Changtian likes this kind of operation method of making a small profit with a big investment more and more. He teamed up with Xu Zheng to make "Lost in Hong Kong", which is scheduled to be released on National Day this year.
As for not going to the Lunar New Year period, it is naturally because these two people are guilty.
After all, it involves the issue of "copyright". If it is targeted during the Lunar New Year period, it will be a waste of time if it does not make any money.
"But speaking of it, Director Jiang is really generous. Our film is about to be released, but he has not said anything!" Xu Zheng said in a puzzled tone.
Wang Changtian took a sip of tea, "Maybe he really doesn't like it and is too lazy to care. Maybe he is waiting to see the box office results before deciding whether to sue!"
Xu Zheng nodded, "That's possible!"
The film sold well, and iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures filed a lawsuit. As the producer, Guangxian is afraid that it will have to pay some money.
If the box office of the film is average, there is no need to toss.
Of course, both Xu Zheng and Wang Changtian are optimistic about the box office prospects of "Lost in Hong Kong".
First, there is the fan base of "Lost in Thailand". Second, the cast is stronger and the jokes are more concentrated. There is no reason why it won't be a big hit at the box office!
At that time, there is no need to be afraid of lawsuits. At most, you will lose some money.
In the entertainment industry, can you still be afraid of lawsuits?
What these two people are really worried about is that Jiang Heng, through his influence on several major domestic theater companies, believes that reducing the number of screenings of "Lost in Thailand" will hit them precisely! (End of this chapter)
