Chapter 487: "Heroes Serial" Premiere
Since the Spring Festival is reserved for Jiang Heng's blockbusters, there are not many films that dare to be released on the same schedule.
Or you are very courageous. For example, "Journey to the West: Part Three: Fighting the White Bone Demon" produced by Xinghao Company and directed by Zheng Baorui was also released on the first day of the new year.
According to original history, the film released on this day should be Xing Hao's version of "Havoc in Heaven", the version in which Zhou Runfa plays the Jade Emperor and fights against the Bull Demon King.
In this life, because Jiang Heng has already filmed "Havoc in Heaven" in advance, Xinghao Pictures will naturally not film it again.
And because Jiang Heng’s film Zhuyu is ahead of the curve, Xinghao Company is preparing to turn to the “theme” of Conferring Gods.
But after seeing Jiang Heng's "Journey to the West" movies making so much money, I still had the idea of following suit.
Hong Kong movies are old traditions!
Because most of the famous disasters on the way to seek Buddhist scriptures have been photographed by Jiang Heng, Xinghao Company finally chose the former among "Three Strikes of Bone Demons", "Pansi Cave" and "Real and False Monkey King".
Compared with small and medium-budget films, the cast is quite strong, but compared with "The Heroic Soldiers Series", it is far behind.
What they are betting on is that today's Chinese-language film market is developing rapidly. If two blockbusters are released during the Spring Festival at the same time, everyone will make money.
Furthermore, "Journey to the West" special effects blockbusters are so popular, and audiences still love to watch them.
It will be released on the same day as the Lunar New Year.
There are also animation and variety movies for children, such as "Smart Ikkyu" and the movie version of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" Because the audience types are different, they are not afraid of special effects blockbusters.
Therefore, during this period of time before the year, various premieres, film screenings, and press conferences occurred one after another.
But the one that attracts the most attention and anticipation has to be "The Heroic Soldiers Series".
On Saturday, January 25, the Beijing Olympic Sports Center was crowded with luxury cars and celebrities.
Reporters from all walks of life gathered around the red carpet, and countless fans were outside, just to catch a glimpse of their idols from a distance. This was because there were so many celebrities in attendance today.
In terms of the main creators of the film, there are Hu Jian who plays Ge Xiaolun, Huang Xiaoming as Xin Zhao, Ding Haifeng as Liu Chuang, Jay Chou as Cheng Yaowen, and Wu Jing as Monkey Brother.
As well as Jing Tan, who plays the funny goddess Reina, and Liu Yifei, who plays the cold goddess Qiangwei, when they stepped onto the red carpet one after another, the fans' shouts were overwhelming.
When Yang Mi, who plays Rui Mengmeng, Clara, who plays the policewoman Qilin, and Zhang Yuqi, who plays Liang Bing, came up, they also cheered.
There were also celebrities from all walks of life in the film and television industry, famous directors, famous actors, famous crosstalk actors...etc.
There were so many celebrities on site and the atmosphere was lively, it was comparable to a film festival!
A reporter lamented, "No wonder Director Jiang doesn't like to attend film festivals. His premiere ceremony was more lively than the film festival!"
"At his level, if he competes with others for best director or something, he would be bullying the smaller ones!"
"This is too lively!"
And when Jiang Heng made his final appearance and walked onto the red carpet, the atmosphere was overwhelming.
"Director Jiang, please come this way!"
Hosting the red carpet was Wu Jing's girlfriend Xie Nan.
She still cherished this opportunity to enhance her reputation. She looked at Jiang Heng with a smile and asked questions according to the words she had prepared in advance.
"Today is the premiere ceremony of the Xiongbing series. I saw many fans of the characters in the "League of Legends" game came to the scene. It can be seen that this game is relatively popular and recognized by users.
So, my first question is, does Director Jiang usually play this game? "
Jiang Heng smiled, "Play!"
"Wow, I really didn't expect someone as powerful as Director Jiang to play games. Can I ask, which hero do you prefer or are you good at?"
"The Juggernaut will have more fun!"
"Wow, doesn't this mean that the very powerful Sword Master that everyone encountered while playing the game might have been operated by Director Jiang?"
Jiang Heng laughed and said: "It is indeed possible!"
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere at the scene became more lively, because Jiang Heng was admitting that he played well!
Xie Nan immediately sighed, "It's a pity that the character of Sword Master did not appear in the story of "The Company of Heroes". Will you consider adding this character in the future?"
Jiang Heng said with a smile: "It all depends on the audience. If everyone supports it and this film can achieve good results and continue to be filmed, then there will definitely be more characters (game characters) appearing in the series of films." middle!"
Xie Nan smiled at the reporters and the audience: "Then, do you support it?"
"support!"
"Director Jiang, I support you!"
"I love you, Director Jiang!"
"husband……!"
The ultramarine surged and the shouts shook the sky, startling the guests who had already entered the infield.
"These fans are so fanatical. It's strange that the box office is not high!" Ge You said in a unique tone.
Feng Xiaogang on the side looked tired and said slowly: "The reputation accumulated over more than ten years of hard work is incomparable, incomparable!"
Director Feng is in a very normal mood recently. "Private Customization", which was released during the Lunar New Year period, did well at the box office, earning more than 700 million.
Making money is certain, but it doesn’t meet expectations.
Because in his opinion, why is this not better than "囧囧"? As a result, the box office was far behind, and the reputation was not very good.
A group of people scolded him on the Internet for doing nothing, and he was so angry that he wanted to confront those people.
I went to watch the premiere of "The Heroic Soldier Series" today. As for fans like Jiang Heng, who on the scene dared to say that the movie was not good!
As for online, there are even more fans, it’s really incomparable!
Jiang Heng had already walked off the red carpet and into the venue.
He greeted the guests who came to support him and sat down in the front row.
Not long after, the host came on stage.
It was not Xie Nan on the red carpet, but a beautiful woman from CCTV-6.
The two companies have cooperated for many years, and it would be bad to change all of them at once.
The ceremony began with an interview with the main creators. Jiang Heng, Hu Jian, Huang Xiaoming, Jing Tian, Liu Yifei and others came on stage one after another to talk about their feelings during filming.
Due to time constraints, they just chatted briefly, and the whole process took more than ten minutes.
Then it was time for the much-anticipated film viewing session.
The lights in the venue went out, the big screen lit up, and after the dragon logo and the iQiyi Tencent Pictures logo, the film officially began.
On the endless Gobi Desert, corpses were everywhere on the battlefield. About a few hundred people wearing ancient Chinese armor, holding long spears and trembling, as if they had seen something extremely terrifying.
The camera turned again, and it was a big crocodile with a strong physique, about three meters tall, wearing armor, carrying soldiers on its back to eat.
What can it eat on the battlefield?
Although there was no frontal shot, it had already frightened the audience.
But there were also fans familiar with the game, who excitedly said, "Isn't this the Desert Butcher Renekton? I like to use it the most!"
"Me too, it feels very fierce!"
"Why does he look a little silly!"
"Oh my god, what are you looking at!"
"Hey, there's a beauty!" (End of this chapter)
