China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

In Causeway Bay, Wing Kee Rice Noodle Shop, Jiang Heng was sitting in the corner eating Che Zi Noodles.

Being alone, he rarely cooked for himself, and basically just ate something close to home.

Some people say that people in Hong Kong are not star-chasing, but this is actually just an illusion given by people after the decline of Hong Kong entertainment.

In the era of "Tan Zhang Zheng Hegemony", whenever these two people appear in public, fans will watch and cheer.

However, this phenomenon has greatly reduced in recent years, mainly because the entertainment industry in Hong Kong is weak and no longer produces as many stars as it did in the past.

Furthermore, this place is too small, which makes the public lack a sense of mystery about celebrities.

Jiang Heng is not an idol star, and he rarely causes waves in public.

There were even many young people discussing the "Matrix" movie and script incident at the table next to him, but they did not recognize at all that the handsome young man eating noodles beside him was the hero of the public opinion storm.

"I heard that Hua Na Company has filed a lawsuit in our High Court, accusing Jiang Heng of stealing their script!"

"Hey, if you take something from an American, how can you call it stealing!"

"It's just that creativity crashed and deliberately bullied us!"

"Even if he wants to steal it, he can find a way to steal it. Does he have access to the script?"

"How is it possible? Hollywood has always discriminated against Chinese people. I heard from my second uncle's neighbor's daughter's boyfriend's aunt that Yuan Heping went to work as a martial arts instructor, but he has never seen the script until now!"

"No way, how can you design an action without reading the script!"

"It's not that far yet. We haven't even started filming yet. Why are you, a Chinese, so anxious to read the script?"

"It hurts your lungs. You haven't even filmed it and released it. Are you suing us for plagiarism?"

"Americans, what can you do?"

"Depend on!"

"What are you waiting for?"

"I'm going to the movies!"

"Cheng Long's film?"

"After decades of filming, the same routine has become more and more boring. Go watch "The Matrix"!"

"Let's go and see what movies the Americans are coveting!"

Several young people discussed for a while, then got up and left the rice noodle shop.

Conversations like this happen from time to time in the store.

Some people also suggested watching "Lucky One-stop", but they all said that the film was a money-making project and the number of "stars" it contained was too low.

And this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened. Basically, I have to choose between the two movies "The Matrix" and "Who Am I".

"Look at this posture, the effect is good!"

Jiang Heng put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a tissue, thinking to himself.

He had anticipated today's situation.

Because there is a strange phenomenon in Chinese-language films, that is, films that are huge box office hits in the Mainland are often not very popular in Hong Kong.

To achieve good results, it is inevitable to arouse the curiosity of the Hong Kong audience.

Furthermore, global release is another problem.

Hollywood has always discriminated against Chinese people. When Jet Li broke into Hollywood, he had to start as a villain. The most disgusting thing was repeated bargaining.

I want you to be the villain for one million dollars!

You agreed, okay, 750,000.

You refused, but it was an opportunity to go back and think about it. When you agreed again, you only had 500,000.

If it hadn't been for Jet Li's revelation, it would be hard for most people to imagine that they could bargain like this, but that's what they did.

Jiang Heng also experienced several waves of disgusting "price bargaining" in the past two days.

First, a Hollywood company contacted him and offered to purchase the North American distribution rights of "The Matrix" for US$2 million, saying that it could help him get Hua Na.

After that, the price quoted by another company was only 1.5 million.

1.2 million, 1 million, 800,000.

These Hollywood companies kept saying that Jiang Heng could not win this lawsuit. He could still make money by selling it now, but if it were later, he might go bankrupt.

Jiang Heng ignored this and did not answer the calls from those companies for three consecutive days.

In these three days, the box office of "The Matrix" showed explosive growth amid the fermentation of heated public opinion, surpassing the two films of Cheng Long and Zhou Xingxing, and took the lead to exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars.

The newspaper concluded that the era of "biweekly 100%" is over!

The phone rang. Jiang Heng picked it up and saw that it was a representative from Columbia Company calling.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he finally picked up the phone.

"Mr. Jiang, can I invite you out for an interview?"

Jiang Heng chuckled: "I'm sorry, I can get up to hundreds of thousands per minute, and I really don't have time to go out and negotiate a business worth 800,000...!"

As soon as these words came out, the diners in the store subconsciously looked at the young man in the corner. He looked pretty good, but he was talking in his sleep during the day!

"Well, Mr. Jiang, we are very sincere!"

"Eight hundred thousand?"

"Haha, it's just a business strategy! In order to show our sincerity, we can tell you a piece of news. The lawsuit will be heard in five days!"

"So fast?" Jiang Heng was really surprised.

The representative of Colombia smiled, "The Warner brothers are also Hollywood giants after all, so they still have this ability. I think Mr. Jiang should be confident that he can win this lawsuit, right?"

"That's natural!"

"Okay, then on behalf of Columbia Company, I would like to formally send you a cooperation invitation. After you win the lawsuit, you are willing to pay US$5 million to purchase the distribution rights of "The Matrix" in North America!"

"Five million, you underestimate me!"

"Mr. Jiang, both you and the male and female protagonists of the film are complete newcomers in North America. The price of five million US dollars is also a gamble for us!"

Jiang Heng sneered, "Really? If there is such a big risk, why do you keep calling us to buy the distribution rights? Under normal circumstances, an unknown Chinese director who comes to your company with a copy may not be received!"

The silence of the Columbia representative can make Hollywood companies take the initiative to attack and use various means. Naturally, it is the visible interests that are at work.

The "Matrix" script case has spread throughout Hollywood, causing a storm of public opinion.

Major American media have also reported on this matter, and even European media such as Britain, France, and Germany have reported on it.

It can be said that "The Matrix" became popular before it was broadcast, and the bizarre "script case" made audiences from all over the world very curious about the film.

Once the copyright ownership is determined, the film will inevitably cause a wave of viewing craze after it is released overseas.

If the quality is good, it is possible to sell well at the box office.

And several Hollywood giants also sent people to watch the film after the "script case" broke out.

It turns out that the film has a grand plot structure, advanced ideas, exciting action scenes, and the "bullet time" special effects scenes are unprecedented.

The companies estimate that according to the current public opinion and the quality of the film, it can be said that there is no pressure to get a global box office of 100 million or 200 million US dollars.

That's why they contacted Jiang Heng and tried to use "psychological warfare" to lower the price and cheat the distribution rights first.
