China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Summer has come in the blink of an eye, and almost all the major cinemas in the mainland are deserted.

The reason is very simple. Without good movies, the audience really lacks the motivation to go to the cinema.

What makes movie fans even more depressed is that "Lion Camel Ridge" has already been announced to be scheduled for the summer of 2000.

In other words, Jiang Heng will be absent from this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

Not only that, the film "Lion Camel Ridge" is highly confidential. So far, no news has been leaked about the plot or the actors.

This makes the fans who are paying attention to it more and more curious.

At this time, a novel called "Zhu Xian" quietly landed in major bookstores.

The children who were on summer vacation didn't care at first, but when they saw the font of the masterpiece by Jiang Heng, the director of "The Matrix" and "100 Million Years BC" on the cover, they instantly became interested.

I opened the book and read the first page, and I couldn't put it down!

This period was the period when martial arts novels from Hong Kong and Taiwan were popular. I don't know how many children went to rental bookstores to rent romance and martial arts novels to read.

Martial arts novels that will be outdated in a few years are very exciting for readers.

The upgrade to the Xianxia version of "Zhu Xian" is simply too exciting for them.

After all, whether it is Jin Yong, Gu Long or some mainland martial arts novel authors, their concepts and writing methods are still stuck in the previous period.

A typical example is Jin Yong's classic work "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", in which the male protagonist appears late and the female protagonist appears even later.

If it were placed in the era of online literature, this writing method would definitely fail!

Although other authors did not do it like Jin Yong, they still could not transcend the martial arts world routine created by Jin Yong and Gu Long.

"Zhu Xian" is different. Although it is not the later "cool writing" writing method, it is still very exciting to read.

The quality is good, and it is written by Jiang Heng, the director of the commercial film with the highest box office performance in China. The combination of the two made the novel sell out instantly.

For a time, "Zhu Xian" was almost sold out in the book market in major cities across the country.

Distributors from all over the country also kept calling the publishing house to request more printing and delivery.

When the news reached the crew, many people tried to get a copy to see how the novel written by Director Jiang was.

This look stunned everyone.

Hong Jinbao read most of the book, and came over with red eyes and said: "Director Jiang, can you sell me the copyright?"

"What?" Jiang Heng was stunned.

Hong Jinbao also reacted and knew that his request was a bit excessive.

He sighed and said: "I just think that this book is more suitable for adaptation than "The Legend of Swordsman of Shu Mountain"! There are too many and too many characters in that book, which is a headache to read!"

Jiang Heng asked: "How is the script of Xu Laoguai being revised?"

He knew that the play should start filming soon, but he was too busy recently and had no time to ask.

Hong Jinbao said: "It has been revised a long time ago, but I think it's average!"

Jiang Heng laughed and didn't comment.

Hong Jinbao said: "You also know that old monster Xu, no one can persuade him to do something he has decided. I will just play a long eyebrow in the film, and I am too lazy to say anything!"

What he didn't say was, if you don't ask me to be the action director, I don't care whether you fail or not!

Perhaps due to the consideration of fighting style, the action director of "The Legend of Zu" was Yuan Heping, and Hong Jinbao didn't get it.

Jiang Heng said: "I don't think much of his film, and I didn't say anything either!"

Hong Jinbao laughed: "If you say it, it will be counterproductive. Originally, Xu was the most obsessed with special effects in Hong Kong. As a result, you made two special effects blockbusters, and even Liu Weiqiang's "Wind and Cloud" was very successful. Xu is under a lot of pressure!"

Jiang Heng laughed and said immediately: "I plan to keep this book for myself."

"I know, I'm just excited to see the prey!" Hong Jinbao said calmly, but there was a bit of loneliness in his words.

Jiang Heng thought for a while and said, "I'm going to buy the adaptation rights of a game, and I plan to make it into a TV series in the future!"

Hong Jinbao waved his hand and said with a smile, "Forget it, I'd better act honestly. I'm old, and I really don't understand the preferences of young people. Not to mention others, just my son, I really...!"

Listening to Hong Jinbao's complaints, Jiang Heng smiled but didn't say anything. What can he say?

Hong Jinbao admitted that he was old and it was okay not to understand the preferences of young people, but he couldn't say that.

In fact, many directors have this problem. When they were young, they also made many masterpieces with both good reputation and box office.

As a result, they refused to admit their age, but the films they made were repeatedly flops.

The reason is also simple. The main audience of the film market is young people!

But then again, fortunately Hong Jinbao didn't agree.

Because the game film and television rights that Jiang Heng was going to buy were-"The Legend of Sword and Fairy"!

The 2005 version of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" is the pioneer of domestic fairy dramas. It was also criticized when it was first released.

Unexpectedly, fairy dramas became worse and worse, and "Legend of Sword and Fairy" actually reached its peak as soon as it debuted and became a classic.

When Jiang Heng was shooting, he didn't plan to make major changes, so he just wanted to make the special effects better.

On the set, Wu Jing came over quietly, "Congratulations, Director Jiang, your book "Zhu Xian" is too popular. I heard from my friends that someone fought in the bookstore yesterday!"

Hong Jinbao said, "Not really?"

Wu Jing smiled, "Young kids are hot-tempered, and there are girls present. If they don't agree, they will fight!"

Jiang Heng said, "If you say so, it's still my fault!"

Wu Jing said hurriedly: "Director Jiang, don't think like that. Even if they don't have your book, they won't like it and they might take action."

Jiang Heng couldn't laugh or cry, and thought to himself: "Are you praising me, or are you praising me!"

Suddenly he said: "By the way, where are you signing now!"

Wu Jing looked like he was about to cry, "Director Jiang, I didn't expect you to remember this!"

Immediately, he talked about the current situation and it was just a gang of running orders.

Because he wanted to develop into an action star, but there were not many action movie resources in the Mainland, he terminated his contract with the company and prepared to go to Hong Kong to develop.

I didn't want to sign the drama "Lion and Camel Ridge" before I got over it.

At that time, I thought Jiang Heng would also sign his agency contract, but I didn't want to mention it at all.

Wu Jing was embarrassed to say it, but he was also afraid that Jiang Heng would remember it one day and just hang out.

I still have some self-doubt in my heart. Do I really have no development?

But he was relieved when he thought that Wu Yanzu and Jiang Heng only signed a head-to-head contract.

I thought that after this movie was finished, if Jiang Heng didn't sign him, he would go south to Xiangjiang to find a big company. Fortunately, the wait finally happened!

Jiang Heng thought for a while, "Then sign with me, and the company will film a series of movies and TV series around you!"

"Action type?" Wu Jing's eyes lit up and he asked in surprise.

Jiang Heng thought for a moment and said, "That's right!"

What comes to mind is which military movie is better!
