China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Hong Kong media reported that Jiang Heng’s ten-year dominance of the Chinese film industry may end in the hands of Stephen Chow.

Of course, anyone with a discerning eye knows that this report is purely for attention, because no matter how you look at it, it is difficult for Stephen Chow to surpass Jiang Heng.

But after all, it has refreshed the domestic single-day box office record, which gives people a little hope.

Jiang Heng is not unsurpassable, Stephen Chow can, and we also have hope!

Director Wu Yusen was very excited and went to drink with his old friend Xu Ke.

The latter is currently directing "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame", which has completed filming and is in post-production.

The film schedule is scheduled to be arranged until the Spring Festival.

After all, Jiang Heng occupies the summer vacation and the New Year, and the rest of the films are basically selected between the May Day, National Day, and Spring Festival schedules.

"It has to be a special effects blockbuster. Stephen Chow can get more than 70 million in a single day box office. Huayi's approach is right!" Xu Ke said with regret.

Wu Yusen nodded slightly: "The Investiture of the Gods is a very good subject, but it's a pity that Liu Weiqiang didn't shoot it well. It will be difficult to direct a big production in the future!"

Immediately remembered the difficulty of attracting investment after the box office failure of Red Cliff, and took another sip of wine.

Xu Ke also had a deep understanding and drank a glass with him.

He then said: "Actually, technology is something that anyone can use. As for the subject matter, it is not exclusive to him. As long as you shoot it with your heart, it will not necessarily be worse than Jiang's!"

"That's right, in my opinion, there is nothing special about the films he shoots. It's nothing more than spending a lot of money on special effects, and there is nothing new in the story!"

"But to be honest, he is really attentive when shooting movies, and many details are done very well!"

"The same is true for Zhou Xingxing, who is very stubborn!"

"Times have changed, and it's time to be more attentive!"

The two talked and concluded that only by shooting one or two movies with heart can you continue to gain a foothold in the Chinese film industry.

Otherwise, you will really be eliminated.

Xu Ke has "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame". Wu Yusen wants to shoot a big movie at this moment, but he can't get investment. He is unwilling to shoot a small-budget movie, and he is getting more and more depressed.

In the mainland, Chen Kaige is very happy. Although "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" is produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, it is still Jiang Heng who makes money.

But Jiang Heng's previous "invincible" and "unbeatable" state was broken, and he was very happy. He sang a poem on the spot to express his excitement.

At the same time, the idea of ​​making a blockbuster movie reached its peak.

He dug out the half-written "The Orphan of Zhao" and prepared to go to Shanghai.

It might be difficult to attract investment in Beijing, so it would be better to try his luck in Shanghai.

By the way, because of the record-breaking box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" on the first day, a series of changes were triggered in the Chinese-language film market.

As the film continued to be popular, the rapid increase in box office also caused considerable controversy.

One is that the overall style is too dark, which scared many children to tears.

In addition, in terms of special effects, compared with Jiang Heng's "Journey to the West" series of works, it is obviously not at the same level.

However, because the slogan "I owe Stephen Chow a movie ticket" was widely circulated, the box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" still grew rapidly.

It quickly broke through the box office barriers of 500 million, 600 million, 700 million, and 800 million.

According to the current trend, it is possible to exceed 900 million, but don't think about 1 billion.

With Jiang Heng's "Journey to the West" series in the past, the reputation of "Conquering the Demons" is slightly lower than that of the previous life, and a box office result of more than 1.2 billion is definitely impossible.

But this also caused a huge sensation. Before this, it was really unimaginable that someone other than Jiang Heng could achieve a box office result of 800 million or 900 million.

It can be said that Zhou Xingxing is the second person in the Chinese film industry who has truly succeeded in "special effects blockbusters". For a time, he was in the limelight.

In the Olympic venues, some staff members participating in the opening and closing ceremonies actually had an unfair tone, thinking that the quality of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was not very high, but it achieved a box office far exceeding "Lion Camel Ridge", "Pingdingshan" and other films. The audience really didn't appreciate it.

Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. First of all, he reminded that he was the producer of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and the movie was also produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures.

Everyone just realized it, and some of them calculated silently in their hearts, and said in surprise: "Doesn't that mean that we can get more than 300 million from the box office alone, and at least more than 100 million after deducting the cost!"

"And what about overseas income? Director Jiang is amazing!" Everyone congratulated again.

"Director Jiang, your 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven" has a higher production cost and a stronger cast. The box office this time must be at least tens of billions, right?"

"The global box office this time must be more than 2 billion!"

"It will definitely exceed "Titanic"!" Everyone discussed it.

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "The result is definitely a record, but it's hard to say how much it is. Fortunately, the film will be released in more than a month!"

"I'm really looking forward to it!"

"What does the 3D version feel like!"

...

With the popularity of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and the continuous guidance of the media, the audience is looking forward to the upcoming 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven".

Yu Dong is also busy preparing for the official launch of the film promotion.

On this day, he came to the Olympic venue again and explained the plans and arrangements for the premiere event to Jiang Heng.

In order to achieve better box office results for the 3D version of "Havoc in Heaven", the publicity and promotion expenses are the highest in history, and the publicity covers both online and offline.

For online publicity, the main platform is Weibo, which was just launched by Jiang Heng's technology company.

Jiang Heng invited a large number of celebrity friends to open Weibo, post selfies and share their feelings on it, making it instantly popular on the Internet.

Xinlang Company was dumbfounded. On the one hand, a large number of blog users were lost, and on the other hand, they developed half of the "Weibo" products, becoming a poor imitator and a fake.

And judging from the current development trend of Weibo, it is extremely difficult for latecomers to enter this track to compete.

In addition to Weibo, Bonna Pictures has also invested a lot of GG on the Internet.

As for offline, promotional posters are posted all over buses, subways, and cinemas.

The premiere activities are divided into three places: Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong.

The first and most important one is naturally held in Beijing, and the location is chosen at the Wukesong store under the China Film Red Cinema Line.

There is a newly renovated large theater with the best IMAX 3D screen, which should bring the audience the ultimate visual experience.

As for the premiere, it will be scheduled on Saturday, July 5.

After reporting the relevant plans, Yu Dong said with emotion: "I have to say that the Weibo you asked people to develop is really great, and the publicity effect is remarkable!

Every time our official Weibo of "Havoc in Heaven" posts a related dynamic, there are millions of users watching, and the comments and replies are easily tens of thousands!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "The times are developing, technology is advancing, so we must believe in the changes brought by technology!"

Yu Dong smiled and said: "I understand, you mean that this 3D technology will bring epoch-making impact!"
