China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The global release of "Jingwei Filling the Sea" and the premiere of such promotional activities are also held in several major film markets around the world, such as Japan, South Korea, North America, France, etc.

In general, the schedule is still quite tight.

Jiang Heng and Yang Mi rushed to the company after breakfast, and then led the team to the airport and headed to Japan.

The partner here is still Toho Co., Ltd. The person in charge responded with great enthusiasm to the arrival of Jiang Heng and others, led the crowd to the airport to welcome them, and held a grand premiere ceremony the next day.

Japanese people prefer tragedy and especially appreciate the image of Chi You in the film.

They think he is "brave to resist", has extremely high martial arts value, and died bravely under the siege of so many interested people. He is a real hero.

Ding Haifeng, who played Chi You, was praised by Japanese media. They thought that the Tang Monk he played in the film "Lion Camel Ridge" was brave and resolute, fearless and a hero.

For a time, Ding Haifeng became more and more famous in Japan, but he was more popular than the heroine Yang Mi.

When it came to South Korea, the first feeling of the audience after watching the film was that it was huge.

The prehistoric continent in the film was too vast, and the witches of the Jiuli tribe were all tall and strong.

Even the human race of the Yan and Huang tribes looked more courageous than modern people.

The magnificent war scenes shown in the film made them exclaim again and again, and sighed with emotion.

Afterwards, the group flew to the United States and landed at Los Angeles Airport.

Columbia Pictures sent a vice president to lead the team to meet the plane and send Jiang Heng and his group to the hotel where they were staying.

That evening, Columbia Pictures CEO Sanford Panitch hosted a reception for Jiang Heng and others, and at the banquet, he enthusiastically introduced a person to Jiang Heng, that is, Christopher Nolan.

"Jiang, this is Director Nolan. He has always liked your work and thinks you are the greatest director in the world in this century!"

Nolan was more shy. After shaking hands, he talked about several of Jiang Heng's favorite works and his comments on them. In general, he was quite objective and accurate.

Then, he talked about the movie "Inception". As the director of the American remake, he didn't want to take this project at first, because he felt that Jiang Heng had already shot it very well and won the "Oscar". He didn't know what else could be changed.

It's just that in Hollywood, being noble can't make a living. After repeated invitations from Sanford Panitch, he finally agreed to direct.

Then he asked Jiang Heng about his original conception of the movie and whether there were any regrets that were not filmed.

Jiang Heng talked about the in-depth analysis of the film, which made Nolan stunned.

When Jiang Heng asked who they were going to let play the male lead, Sanford Panitch and Nolan said Leonardo in unison.

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, but to be honest, Leo, who was born in 1974, is not as good-looking as before.

Fortunately, in the movie "Inception", the audience's attention was attracted by the complicated plot, and they really didn't care much about his appearance.

But Nolan still said with some regret that if Leonardo had been invited to play a few years earlier, it would really be great.

Jiang Heng smiled at this and didn't continue the conversation.

The next day, Columbia Pictures held a grand premiere ceremony for "Jingwei Filling the Sea" in Hollywood.

There were many media reporters, but to Jiang Heng's surprise, other Hollywood film companies also sent representatives.

For example, Warner Bros. wanted to invite Jiang Heng to a banquet and talk to him about the remake of "The Matrix".

As for the representatives of other companies, they just came to make themselves familiar.

At the premiere, after the media interview, the film was also screened.

The American audience was naturally conquered by the solid and shocking special effects of the film, and they kept exclaiming while watching the film.

However, the media reporters would not brag in unison, because other film companies had big films released, and since they were in a competitive relationship, they would inevitably smear each other.

These are all common business routines, and Jiang Heng doesn't care too much.

His reputation in the North American market has always been strong, and his movies cannot be buried by a few reports. This kind of public opinion means has little impact on the box office.

After the North American trip, Jiang Heng led the group to France, and then returned to China to prepare for the New Year.

The Spring Festival in 2016 was on February 8, and Jiang Heng and others arrived at the airport on the afternoon of the 7th.

Before getting off the plane, Yang Mi said that her family had prepared a New Year's Eve dinner and invited him to eat together.

Jiang Heng thought about it for a while and agreed.

Speaking of which, he was not unfamiliar with Yang Mi's parents.

As early as when he took Yang Mi to the United States to make a guest appearance in the filming of "Inception", it was Yang's mother who took Yang Mi, so naturally they knew each other.

After having a sumptuous and lively New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Heng went home.

Looking at the empty and deserted mansion, he couldn't help feeling a little lonely.

But not long after, various calls came in, and several people asked him where he was staying tonight and whether he wanted to go over to accompany him.

Jiang Heng thought about it and decided to sleep for a night!

The next day, on the first day of the New Year, many people had a feeling that the New Year was over after eating in the morning.

In addition, it is popular to call and WeChat to greet the New Year, so some relatives who are not very close to each other don't visit each other much. Many audiences who feel that there is nothing to do have flocked to the cinema to watch movies.

The Spring Festival of 2016 is naturally full of blockbusters. After all, the overall film market continues to grow this year. Not to mention one blockbuster, even two or three blockbusters are likely to be hot at the same time.

So other companies have also begun to put the blockbusters that are heavily invested and star-studded in the most popular Spring Festival of the year.

However, the special effects blockbuster by Jiang Heng is the most anticipated by the audience, with the first place in the schedule, the first place in pre-sale, and the first place in popularity.

Most audiences enter the cinema and their first reaction is to choose "Jingwei Filling the Sea". Only when they can't buy tickets for the day will they choose other movies.

Some fans will even watch several popular movies in one day, and then introduce to the audience on the self-media platform which one is worth the price and which one is a pure pit.

Under such a wave of movie watching, the box office performance of "Jingwei Filling the Sea" has soared, and tickets are hard to come by.

In many popular cities and popular theaters, almost every show of Jingwei Filling the Sea was full most of the time, even the first row, which was not a good viewing experience, was full, and tickets were hard to come by.

The reason is that in addition to the popularity of the film, the pre-sale is also very good.

According to media reports, as of 10 pm on New Year's Eve, theaters across the country had sold 20 million movie tickets for the first day of the Lunar New Year in advance.

It's really not easy to get a sneak peek on this day! (End of this chapter)
