China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The popularity of "The Great Wall" is continuous, not a flash in the pan, a few-day trip, because the reputation is indeed good.

In terms of storyline, the general direction respects historical facts, while giving a new interpretation in details. So much so that the audience couldn't help but think that there might really be monsters like Taotie in history.

Prince Fusu may have been killed in battle with the Xiongnu, rather than committing suicide as described in history books.

Of course, this speculation is only the view of a small group of film critics and has not been widely recognized.

After all, the historical books of the Han Dynasty are still very valuable, unlike the historical books compiled by the Qing Dynasty, which have always been suspected of being tampered with...

In terms of box office in the Mainland, "The Great Wall" quickly exceeded the one billion mark and is heading towards two or three billion.

In the Hong Kong and Baodao markets, "The Great Wall" also achieved good results, but it was not as sensational as Jiang Heng's works.

In the Japanese, Korean and Southeast Asian markets, the film performed very well.

Even in North America, where competition is fierce, "The Great Wall" still has a place. Judging from its first weekend box office performance, the film's final score may exceed US$200 million.

If that's the case, it will surpass "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Eucalyptus. It also far exceeds the more than 50 million US dollars achieved by "Heroes" in the North American market.

In general, "The Great Wall" is a successful movie and a very profitable movie.

If you analyze it carefully, the story of this version of "The Great Wall" is not awkward and fits the rhythm of a commercial film.

In addition, the special effects, composition, and colors of the film are excellent, which is a plus.

Furthermore, Zhang Yimou is an internationally renowned director, and the background of the story is during the reign of the First Emperor, which foreigners are familiar with. For this reason, it attracted many overseas audiences.

Many of these people have watched "The Mummy 3: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor" and are extremely impressed by the brutal emperor and his powerful army played by Jet Li in the film.

I heard that the movie "The Great Wall" is about the son of a cruel emperor, a compassionate heir to the empire, who is willing to give up his right to inherit the throne in order to protect the civilians from monster attacks, and ultimately dies with the monsters. European and American audiences are very excited will generate interest in watching movies.

Firstly, I felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, feeling that the image of Fusu was somewhat similar to Prince Hamlet. Secondly, I felt that the thoughts of the characters in the film had universal value.

For a time, the movie "The Great Wall" was selling well in North America and European countries, and its reputation was also good.

Various news spread back to China, and director Zhang Yimou's reputation became even greater.

For a time, there were countless interviews and interview invitations. Zhang Yimou accepted a few but turned down most of them.

Instead, he went to Jiang Heng's office to "complain", saying that he had never seen such a battle in his entire life.

Jiang Heng handed over a cigar, and Zhang Yimou waved his hand, indicating that he was not used to smoking this.

Jiang Heng ignored him, smiled and ordered it himself, and said with a breath: "If you feel bored, you might as well take your sister-in-law out for a vacation, and the company will pay for it!"

"Isn't this bad?"

Zhang Yimou declined subconsciously, but his attitude was not very firm.

Jiang Heng smiled, "What's wrong? You've just finished filming a movie, so you must take a break and go out to relax. Maybe you'll get some inspiration!"

"Well, that's right. Then I will learn to be fashionable and travel to relax!" Zhang Yimou said with a smile.

"The Great Wall" really made a lot of money this time, bringing too much profit to the company. Travel and other things are just small money, and the subsequent box office dividends are the bulk.

Of course, he is not worried that Jiang Heng will hack his money. He is worth hundreds of billions, and he still has this reputation.

Zhang Yimo was so excited that he couldn't help but talk about the box office, saying that all the movies he had made before combined did not earn as much as this one!

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "This time, your dividend will be an astronomical figure. It will not be worse than Cameron and Spielberg. But as we have agreed, we can't just think about retirement after taking the money. I also I hope you will continue to contribute to the company!”

Zhang Yimou became more and more happy when he heard Jiang Heng talk about Cameron and Spielberg. Hehehe said: "Definitely not. My whole family is pointing at me alone, and I won't be able to take pictures until the time comes." , I will definitely not retire!”

Hearing this, Jiang Heng smiled and said, "That's good, that's good!"

After chatting for a few more words, Zhang Yimo left happily.

When he was about to get off work, Yang Mi called and asked him to have dinner with him in the evening.

Jiang Heng was extremely surprised when he heard this, because after the hit release of "The Great Wall", Yang Mi's fame and status skyrocketed instantly, and there were countless business activities. Jiang Heng had already forgotten how many times he saw it on entertainment news. It's her turn.

"Back?"

"Well, I came back at noon and just finished participating in the event. Then I called you. I'm fine!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Okay, I'm so touched that our Miss Yang Mi can think of me during her busy schedule!"

"Not only am I thinking of you, but I am also rewarding you!"

"Um!"

When Jiang Heng heard this, he immediately became energetic.

“What’s for dinner tonight and where is it!”

Damimi mentioned the name of the restaurant, Jiang Heng hung up the phone and drove there alone.

When I arrived, I saw Da Mimi dressed in jewels in the box.

"Hey, today's jewelry is very beautiful!"

"It looks good. The organizer gave it to me. Why don't I have a boyfriend to give it to me?"

Yang Mi held the necklace with a proud look on her face.

Jiang Heng smiled, "A piece of jewelry is nothing, I'll give you a jewelry company!"

"real!"

Yang Mi has always been very ambitious and has always wanted to start a company and become a boss.

In this life, her agency contract has always been signed with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Film. She has not been able to break out and start her own business. Big Mi Mi feels a little regretful.

As for venture capital outside the entertainment industry, she has never dared to try because she does not understand and has no energy.

When Jiang Heng said he would give her a jewelry company, her mind instantly became active.

"Husband, what do you think if I start a luxury brand and run it myself?"

Jiang Heng said: "You can try, but it is not so easy to succeed!"

"Is it not possible even with your endorsement?" Big Mi Mi was slightly disappointed.

Jiang Heng said: "Luxury goods need time to settle. What we lack is time. If it is a trendy brand, it will be relatively easier!"

"Trendy brand?"

Yang Mi was thoughtful. In fact, according to her current fame and status, the fastest way to make money is still filming and investing in film and television dramas.

But she has always wanted to be a boss. Besides, no one can be popular for a lifetime.

Especially for actresses, the good times are only a few years.

Once your looks fall, your career will fall overnight!

Jiang Heng saw her hesitation, poured himself a glass of wine, and said with a smile: "We don't need to hide anything, we can speak openly. Whatever ideas and wishes you have, I can help you realize them within my ability!"

Yang Mi heard her thoughts and said that one day she would retire behind the scenes, but she was unwilling to be idle and wanted to be her own boss.

Jiang Heng smiled, "No problem, just open a company!"

Yang Mi tried: "Film and television company, is that okay?" (End of this chapter)
