Chapter 134 Pudong Premiere
After leaving Hangzhou, Jiang Heng went to Shanghai.

This time, he failed to keep it secret and was "accidentally" discovered by fans.

When we returned to the hotel, the leader of Shanghai Film Group had already come to visit us, and the two sides had a brief negotiation in the small conference room of the hotel.

Shanghai Film Group plans to cooperate in filming and wants to invest in Jiang Heng's next movie.

Jiang Heng said that he had sufficient funds on hand, and if Shanghai Film Group’s project was short of money, he could also invest.

After all this chat, the atmosphere became a little awkward.

Finally, of course, we should keep in touch and cooperate again if there is a chance.

He doesn't want to receive a call in the evening saying that a leader wants to invite him to dinner.

Most people's first impression of Jiang Heng is that he is a famous commercial film director, and secondly, an actor. They always intentionally or unintentionally ignore his identity as a super-rich man.

After all, during the heyday of Hong Kong films, female stars also wanted to marry into wealthy families, which is incomparable to the later prosperity of the domestic entertainment industry.

Therefore, although Jiang Heng has a lot of money and is worth a lot of money, not many places are looking for him to attract investment.

This is not the case in Pudong, where people have a broader vision and ideas.

I thought that if I could get Jiang Heng’s investment, it would be very beneficial for the publicity and promotion here.

Jiang Heng naturally had to give face and agreed readily.

The next morning, a luxury car came to pick us up.

First, let’s take a look at the current development status of Pudong and reach a preliminary investment intention.

During the meal, the leader suggested that Jiang Heng hold the world premiere of "The Matrix 2" in Pudong.

Jiang Heng thought about it for a moment and decided to give it a try.

After all, the film is exclusively produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, and the publicity and promotion is also done by Bonanza, so there is no need to consider China Film's ideas too much.

Furthermore, we have collaborated too much with China Film Group in recent years and have been too close.

In the end, of course, I had to give face to my leader, so I agreed immediately.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Heng called Yu Dong, who was shocked.

"Going to Pudong so suddenly?"

"Well, the leader here is very sincere, so I agreed!"

Yu Dong said: "It's easy to handle. After all, the venue in Beijing has not been finalized yet. Even the movie channel may not broadcast it, right?"

Jiang Heng said: "The TV station here will send a film crew!"

"Then there's no problem. Give Director Han a call!"

Jiang Heng said: "Of course!"

After hanging up, he called Han Sanping again, who joked, "Is Director Jiang planning to promote a new talent this time? He traveled thousands of miles to visit the set, it must be difficult!"

Jiang Heng chuckled, "It was mainly because I was bored in Beijing, so I went out for a walk. I accidentally walked to Pudong. The leaders here are very enthusiastic and invited me to invest and also said they would help me organize the premiere. I have to think carefully about paying, but I agreed to take advantage of it on the spur of the moment!"

Han Sanping: “…”

There was silence for about two seconds. "You, are going to Shanghai for the premiere?"

“Pudong!”

“Shanghai is Pudong, and Pudong is Shanghai!”

Han Sanping's tone was slightly excited. In fact, the movie "The Matrix 2" had nothing to do with China Film. It was just that the two sides had been cooperating for a long time. When he heard that Jiang Heng was going to Pudong to hold the premiere, he felt a little disappointed.

However, Han Sanping can become the chairman of China Film Group and is known as the "head of the Chinese film market", so he still manages his emotions well.

He quickly calmed down and said with a smile: "Well, going to Shanghai is not bad. Staying in Beijing all the time, not to mention the fans, even I am a little tired of it!" Jiang Heng smiled and said: "Then remember to come and show your support when you go!"

Han Sanping smiled: "Of course, I will go!"

After chatting for a while and hanging up the phone, Jiang Heng called a few of his close friends and told them that the premiere venue had changed. Surprisingly, everyone was quite happy.

In Pudong, the premiere of "The Matrix 2" was treated with superb efficiency.

In the evening, they sent us relevant information including the venue location, event plan, security measures, etc. suitable for the premiere.

They also asked Jiang Heng whether he wanted to build an IMAX screen, and if so, they would cooperate with the changes.

Of course, it needs to be built!

Jiang Heng’s idea is to turn the premiere of his new film into a “brand” and to provide the best audio-visual experience to the guests on site.

We need to let movie fans know that the viewing experience at the premiere is the best and most shocking.

In other words, 3D technology is not mature yet, otherwise Jiang Heng would definitely use the best playback equipment and adjust the projector's xenon lamp to the brightest to let the audience experience what super shocking is.

After receiving feedback, Pudong adjusted the plan.

Yu Dong also led people from Bonna Pictures to discuss some details of the premiere and coordinate with IMAX to build the screen.

After CCTV Movie Channel learned that the premiere of "The Matrix 2" would be held in Pudong, there was some internal debate, but they soon reached a consensus and sent a film crew south.

After all, the premiere of Jiang Heng’s new film has become a major event in the Chinese entertainment industry. If the movie channel is absent, all the benefits will be scooped up by other satellite TV stations.

Sunday afternoon, December 2002, 12.

In Pudong, countless luxury cars are lined up outside the Yuanshen Sports Center.

The Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai regions have been prosperous for thousands of years and have never been poor since the Song Dynasty.

Since the reform and opening up, a large number of wealthy people have emerged. These people are not short of money, but they like to show off their status.

It is not uncommon to watch Jiang Heng's films in the cinema, but from scalpers, spending thousands of dollars to buy a premiere ticket and taking friends to watch it is considered very prestigious.

Inside a Mercedes-Benz, Han Xing looked helplessly at the taillights of the car in front of him, "This is too congested!"

One girl said: "We all went to see the premiere, it will probably take a while!"

Hu Qian smiled and said, "I said, park the car farther away and walk here, it will definitely be faster than driving."

Yuan Hong agreed, "Yeah, look at the situation, we'll have to wait for a while!"

Han Xing said: "We girls are all wearing high heels. How can we look good walking all the way? I still have to walk on the red carpet!"

"Yeah, that's right. There will be so many reporters later, you have to stay beautiful and elegant!" Hu Quan teased.

These students are all from the 02 acting class at the Shanghai Theatre Academy. They were all very happy when they learned that "The Matrix 2" would premiere in Shanghai.

Even though they couldn't possibly walk the red carpet given their current status, they still came over to join in the fun and have some jokes.

However, the car kept stopping and starting, and it took a long time to get to the door and get off.

A few people did not immediately enter the regular viewing channel, but instead stood in the guest channel and watched the stars who entered the venue one after another.

When he saw Tang Yan coming over, Han Xing said enviously, "She is so lucky. She graduated from a technical secondary school in tourism and can become the heroine of Director Jiang's blockbuster!"

Her best friend said: "Yes, it's easy to get ahead in one step. It takes years less to struggle. After we graduate, it's hard to become the lead actor in a TV series!"

Hu Qian laughed and said, "You must have confidence. What did Liu Bang say? A real man should be like this!"

Yuan Hong patted Hu Chuan's shoulder and pointed at Wu Yuzu who was walking in the distance, "You have to talk to that person!"
