China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

"Director Jiang wants to do something new this time by holding the premiere at the foot of the Great Wall!" Deputy General Manager Li Delai said with a smile, holding the invitation letter.

Wang Changtian said: "Almost every year in Beijing, either the Workers' Stadium or the Olympic Stadium, even he himself must be aesthetically fatigued!"

Li Delai nodded slightly, "Who says not? Think about the shocking "The Matrix" and the nationwide acclaim of "Lion Camel Ridge", "Pacific Rim", "The Hero Company", "The Three-Body Problem", "Havoc in Heaven", "Legend of the Little Soldier"...!"

He wanted to mention a few of Jiang Heng's works that shocked people at the time, and then say that the current works are just so-so.

He didn't want to give a random example, but there are several classic masterpieces. If he insisted that Jiang Heng was on the decline, the argument was too insufficient, and the second half of the sentence was held back.

Wang Changtian saw this and laughed.

He naturally understood Li Delai's thoughts. He had also thought about when Guangxian Pictures could produce a few special effects blockbusters like iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

But it's just a thought, because there is neither sufficient funds nor reliable blockbuster directors.

If you really want to hand over hundreds of millions of funds to a director you are not familiar with, where can you cry if you lose money!

Therefore, even if Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster is in a "non-peak" state, it is still unattainable for many film and television companies.

For example, the second part of "Under One Person" is still being released. In the eyes of some fans, compared with Jiang Heng's other groundbreaking works, the story content is more than one level worse, and it feels like a regression in skills.

But if the film is produced by other companies and shot by other directors, they can directly make them gods!

Let's put it this way, at the moment, apart from Jiang Heng, there are very few special effects blockbuster directors in China.

Xu Ke's "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" and "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" are also successful, but the number of works is not enough and not stable enough.

The impression of capital and audiences on him is that there is always a feeling that he will fail in any of his films.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" directed by Guo Fan was also a success, but Jiang Heng achieved this with support. Without iQiyi, Tencent Video, his skills would probably be reduced by half.

So at this moment, Jiang Heng is still in his prime and his reputation remains undiminished!

Wang Changtian said: "Director Jiang is the top director in the mainland and is also well-known internationally. I have to go to the premiere of his new film no matter how busy I am!"

"What about you?"

"Let Liu Yan accompany me!"

Liu Yan has hosted the red carpet show for the premiere of Jiang Heng's new films many times and has a good relationship with iQiyi, Tencent Video, and Wang Changtian and Du Huan are actually acquaintances.

…

The premiere location was finally chosen in Gubei Water Town, located in Simatai Village, Gubeikou Town, Beijing suburbs. It was named because it is located near Gubeikou and has the style of Wuzhen, a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the original history, this place was only signed and built in 2010 and opened to the public in 2014.

However, at this time, because iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures have sufficient funds and a tourism park business department, they naturally give priority to developing resources near Beijing.

Gubei Water Town opened to the public at the beginning of the year. Now the premiere of "Honghuang: Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" is held here. In addition to adding some gimmicks to the film, it is also a very powerful GG promotion for this tourist resort.

On the morning of July 10, many viewers and reporters took the bus to Gubei Water Town.

After getting off the bus, they all looked at the surrounding landscape curiously.

After all, seeing the Jiangnan water town-style buildings in the north is indeed a new thing in 2011.

Even Wang Changtian, the boss of Guangxian Media, found it very novel.

Of course, he must not be sitting in a tourist bus, but an Audi A8, accompanied by a driver, assistant and female companion Liu Yan.

The premiere ceremony started at 6 pm. Everyone strolled around for a while and then went to the B\u0026B dining area to eat.

After a short break and tidying up their clothes, everyone drove to the premiere venue.

From a distance, they saw a huge movie screen at the foot of the Great Wall. It was really shocking.

Liu Yan couldn't help but lean on the car window with an excited expression, "It's so shocking. Director Jiang is really generous this time!"

Wang Changtian was calm on the surface, but there was a hint of envy under his gold-rimmed glasses.

When will Guangxian be able to produce a special effects blockbuster and hold such a grand premiere!

In fact, funding is not the most important thing. There are too few reliable directors!

After the car stopped, Wang Changtian took Liu Yan's arm and stepped onto the long red carpet.

First signed under the huge poster, and then accepted an interview with the red carpet host.

Liu Yan's performance was quite excited, because she used to be a red carpet host, but now she has transformed into an actor.

In "Painted Wall", produced by Guangxian Media this year but not yet released, she played the role of Yunmei Fairy.

Liu Yan expressed her great anticipation for Jiang Heng's new film and believed that it would be a heart-stirring work.

At the same time, she also mentioned the "Painted Wall" in which she participated, and promoted it a little.

Wang Changtian, who was standing by, smiled and talked about his understanding and knowledge of Jiang Heng. He was very optimistic about "Honghuang: Houyi Shooting the Sun", and was even more optimistic about the future development of the Chinese-language film market.

Walking down the red carpet and entering the main venue, I saw many old acquaintances.

Han Sanping of China Film Group, Wang Zhonglei and Feng Xiaogang of Huayi Brothers, and Zhang Zhao of the newly established Lay's Films.

Speaking of which, Zhang Zhao was once Wang Changtian's right-hand man. He joined Guangxian Media in 2003 as artistic director. In 2006, Zhang Zhao founded Guangxian Films and served as president.

In the following four years, Guangxian Films produced and released many commercial films, and Zhang Zhao also made great contributions.

At the beginning of 2011, he left Guangxian again and founded Leshi Films.

It was a little awkward to see each other again at this moment.

Of course, it must be acceptable on the surface.

In addition, there were representatives from Shanghai Film Group, Wanda Film Company, Sony Media and other companies.

It can be said that almost all the top film and television companies in the mainland had executives present.

There were nearly a hundred stars who came to show their support, many of whom were not invited by iQiyi or Tencent Video, but came on their own.

Of course, they were not completely uninvited, and they still had to say hello.

Most of them were thinking of contacting Jiang Heng, hoping to leave a good impression on Jiang Heng, just in case they thought of it and felt that they were suitable for a certain role in a certain film, then the opportunity would come.

Therefore, the event was full of stars, almost comparable to some film festivals.

"It's so lively!"

This was not the first time that Liu Yan attended the premiere of Jiang Heng's new film, but he was still infected by the hot atmosphere on the scene.

Wang Changtian, a big boss of a film and television company, was calm on the surface, but shocked in his heart, and his mood could be said to be the same.

"A real man should be like this!"

When he was sighing, Jiang Heng had already come over. Wang Changtian smiled and shook his hand to express his congratulations.

Jiang Heng smiled warmly and thanked Wang Changtian and Liu Yan for coming to support him. He casually asked Guangxian what new works he had this year.

Wang Changtian said modestly that there was a mythological film "Painted Wall", and he didn't dare to compete with Director Jiang in the summer, so he chose to schedule it in September.

Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said it was good, good.

I don't know if he was praising the film or saying that Guangxian was tactful.
