China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Zhang Weiping knew nothing about this and was still immersed in the joy of making a lot of money from "Three Guns Surprise".

At the same time, we are actively paying attention to information about other films, because as soon as Jiang Heng's films change their schedules, more and more films will be released in the Lunar New Year period, and there are several films that are competitive at the box office.

For example, "The Legend of White Snake", "Assassin's Tomb", and "October Siege" are scheduled to be released on December 18, and "The Orphan of Zhao" and "The Storm 2" are scheduled to be released on December 24.

Zhang Weiping didn't care at all about the other low-cost films such as "No Man's Land" and "Unfortunate Road".

In his opinion, the most competitive film in the entire Lunar New Year period is undoubtedly the 3D special effects mythical blockbuster "The Legend of White Snake".

The film not only stars the super A-list star Jet Li, but also stars the popular niche Wen Zhang, and the heroine is the "star girl" Huang Shengyi. There are also a group of Hong Kong celebrities who came to help out. Coupled with 3D special effects, it is a proper "New Year's Eve" "The Star".

In addition, Jiang Heng's upcoming movie is also an adaptation of "The Legend of White Snake", making young audiences look forward to this movie even more.

"The Legend of White Snake" premiered in Beijing on the 13th. Li Lianjie was very active at the event, talking about the different feelings and methods of eliminating demons in the film, and said that this time Fahai lost to White Snake.

When talking about the fighting scenes, let me first say that except for Yang Ziqiong, who has a good foundation in kung fu, the rest were just temporary training before the filming started, or they had dance skills.

Perhaps this sentence made the actresses next to him uneasy, so Li Lianjie calmed down a little and said that he only needed to look murderous in the filming scene. When fighting girls, don't let them feel pressure, and be careful not to hurt them.

When I was in Hollywood, the first thing a producer said when he came over was, you have to take it easy and don't injure anyone, otherwise the insurance alone won't be enough to lose all the money you spent on the movie.

There's nothing wrong with Li Lianjie's words. Like Billy Chow, if you are too involved in filming, you will definitely be hated by people when you kick someone unconscious.

But saying this at a press conference for a new film seems to be a bit of a rip-off or "passing the buck."

Because this is clearly telling the media and the audience that the fighting scenes in this film are just for show, and are completely incomparable with the previous "fist-to-flesh" ones.

Nothing like this? Because I'm afraid of hurting the actresses!

What if the nail is broken or the skin is scratched?

Of course Yang Zhi, Huang Shengyi and others were dissatisfied.

Li Lianjie said this at the press conference mainly out of resentment.

At first, he just said that he would come over to help with guest appearances, but the more scenes were filmed, and when the film was promoted, he almost became the leading male actor. Who would want to do this? He is getting paid for guest appearances, right?

Furthermore, judging from his experience, the filming of "The Legend of White Snake" was in a very tight schedule, and the content of the script was also very average. If it might turn into a bad movie, it would be better to pass the blame to some extent!

And the situation is indeed as he expected. After the release of "The Legend of White Snake", the Douban score was only 4.5, and the single-day box office was only more than 20 million.

In the media, bad reviews abounded.

The biggest puzzlement of the audience is that, under the promotion of director Jiang Heng, Chinese-language films with special effects have become strong enough to conquer the international film market and compete head-on with Hollywood blockbusters.

How did you have the courage to show off your rubbish special effects?

As long as the special effects are poor, the plot is good.

The problem is that the plot is even worse, you really don’t get what you want!

It's not that there is nothing at all, at least Jet Li is famous enough, but the Fa Hai he played is a lot worse than Zhao Wenzhuo's version, and there is no memory at all.

By now, the audience is looking forward to Jiang Heng's "The Origin of the White Snake" more and more.

At this time in previous years, we could already see Jiang Heng's new film, but now we have to wait for nearly two months. It is really frustrating for the audience!

I really don’t know what Director Jiang Da is busy with or thinking about, why has this movie been moved to the Spring Festival schedule?

But it was said that on the 28th, Jiang Heng attended the premiere ceremony of "Unfortunately" in costume.

Because it is a small-to-medium-budget film, Bona Pictures naturally will not spend too much money on publicity. The ceremony was held at the Wukesong branch of the "China Film Red" theater chain. There was no red carpet show, but the main creative staff were interviewed. Plus movie viewing activities.

As one of the actors in the film, Jiang Heng received special attention from media reporters. More than 80% of the topics were centered around him.

Jiang Heng first stated that he was only a guest star and had very few roles.

The reason why I made a cameo appearance in such a low-cost film was partly because of the invitation from my old friend Yu Dong, but also mainly because the script of this film was very well written.

""On the Road" is a film that can make people laugh and be thought-provoking at the same time. It will open up a new path for our country's comedy films. In addition, Xu Zheng and Wang Baohao are two actors that I am very optimistic about. actors, I believe they will have more wonderful works in the future!”

As a top boss in the Chinese entertainment industry and an internationally renowned director, Jiang Heng's words are still very weighty.

When Guangtou Xu and Wang Baohao heard this, their eyes were filled with excitement.

Ning Hao, who attended as a guest, also had something strange in his eyes.

After the interview, Ning Hao came close to Jiang Heng and exchanged a few words.

Jiang Heng asked him what he was busy with recently. Ning Hao sighed and said don't mention it. Originally, "No Man's Land" was scheduled to be released, but it still didn't pass!

Jiang Heng said: "Do you still need to modify it?"

"Well, the film bureau said there wasn't a single good person in the whole movie!"

Ning Hao sighed and said, "It's already filmed like this, how can we change it!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "That's easy, just pick a character and let him get redemption and become a good person in the end!"

"What do you mean?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "What am I talking about? I haven't seen your No Man's Land?"

Ning Hao chuckled, "I know how to change it!"

The Bonanza version of Lost on Journey is obviously very successful, and because of Jiang Heng's cameo, the film is very well-known.

On the first day of its release on January 1, it won a box office result of 11.79 million yuan, which shocked the industry instantly.

Because the total investment of Lost on Journey is very small, only 7 million yuan.

As a result, on the day of its release, the box office results far exceeded the production cost, which is going to make a lot of money!

What's more gratifying is that the film has a score of 7.6 on Douban.com, which is not only a qualified work, but also a masterpiece.

There is no doubt that the box office will exceed 100 million yuan, and it is possible to make 200 million yuan if it goes well.

The producers of several blockbusters in this year's Lunar New Year are extremely envious.

Because the box office performance of most of these films is not ideal.

The most typical one is "Legend of the White Snake". The production cost is 150 million yuan, and the box office in the mainland is estimated to be around 150 million yuan according to the current trend. This is quite embarrassing.

If calculated based on the box office performance in the mainland, it will be a huge loss. Fortunately, it can still sell overseas copyrights.

The problem is that overseas audiences are also influenced by Hollywood blockbusters and Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters back and forth, repeatedly. "Legend of the White Snake", a 50-cent special effect film, is really looked down upon by overseas film producers, so the price is extremely low.

Loss, it is definitely going to lose!
