Chapter 279 New Movie
While Wang Zhonglei was struggling, Jiang Heng was very pleased.
Firstly, "The Monkey King 9.57" was a huge box office hit, earning million yuan in the mainland market, setting a historical record.
The second is that the online game "Zhu Xian" has become extremely popular. It was officially launched in early August, and in less than a week, the number of registered users exceeded one million, and continues to increase at an extremely fast rate, which is truly enviable.
This achievement is due to the original novel and the movie version of "Zhu Xian", as well as the trailer.
Jing Tian was extremely popular this summer, and countless crazy fans wanted to find her works.
But this girl didn't have many works, so even the few minutes long commercials were watched repeatedly by her fans. Through word of mouth, the online game version of "Zhu Xian" became even more popular.
In less than a month, the online game version of "Zhu Xian" has become a popular work on par with old games such as "World of Warcraft", "Fantasy Westward Journey", and "Zhengtu", and has become a "cash cow" that can bring the company a steady stream of cash flow every day.
The industry had mixed reactions to this, and Ding Lei of Wangyi was naturally furious.
He had previously wanted to buy the game adaptation rights for "Zhu Xian", but Jiang Heng not only refused to sell it, he actually poached his game's creative team.
It was originally thought that Jiang Heng would not be able to launch the online game version of "Zhu Xian" within two to three years.
We are also thinking about developing a similar game to "sniper" "Zhu Xian"!
For this purpose, he read a lot of fantasy and fairy-tale online novels, and also ordered people to buy the game copyrights of several books, and started the project of research and development.
But only one year later, the online game version of "Zhu Xian" was launched in public beta, which was an incredibly fast speed.
Initially he thought that the quality of the game hastily produced in a year would be mediocre, but he did not expect the gaming experience to be very good, which made him a little defensive.
It's totally unscientific!
As for other gaming companies in the industry, their responses to the public beta of the online version of "Zhu Xian" were relatively indifferent.
After all, some popular games are on a different track from "Zhu Xian" and the competition is not very fierce.
There was even a company that called Jiang Heng specifically to express their congratulations!
At this moment, Jiang Heng was playing games in the mansion. Liu Yifei, who was standing next to him, was also wearing cooler clothes and playing "Zhu Xian" with Jiang Heng.
"Oh, I'm so hungry!"
Liu Yifei rubbed her belly, rubbed her eyes, and exclaimed, "Oh my god, time has passed so fast! It's already four o'clock in the afternoon!"
Jiang Heng glanced at the time on his computer desktop and couldn't help but say, "It's pretty fast!"
He immediately put down the mouse, stood up, stretched and said, "Ah, I've been playing too much recently!"
"This shows that the company's games are well made and many friends in the circle are playing them!" Liu Yifei said.
Jiang Heng smiled, "This is nothing. When that game comes out at the end of the year, it will be more fun than this!"
"really?"
"Of course it's true!" Jiang Heng said, and then he rubbed Liu Tianxian's head gently, messing up her hair.
The latter was not annoyed, but just smiled and said: "Then I am looking forward to it, you must teach me how to play when the time comes!"
"Sure!"
What Jiang Heng was talking about was, of course, "League of Legends".
It is said that when he first came into contact with it in his previous life, he really had a lot of fun.
The main reason was that my career was not going well at the time and my life was quite depressing. I initially played at home, but later I felt that there was no such atmosphere.
I would go to the Internet cafe to play from morning till night, sometimes even all night, almost all the time playing League of Legends.
And they often use the same hero for one or two days, not to mention how obsessed they are.
I played for more than a week and only stopped temporarily after I got a role.
In this life, "League of Legends" is developed by the game company under Jiang Heng's name, and in fact it has been almost "produced" at this time.
The public beta of "League of Legends" was postponed for a few months only because "Zhu Xian" was in the summer. However, the film and television work "Heroes Company" derived from the game "League of Legends" can indeed be put on the agenda.
Jiang Heng's initial idea is that the first part of "The Three-Body Problem" will be released at the end of this year, the 3D version of "Journey to the West" will be released in the summer of 08, and "The King's Avatar" will naturally be released at the end of the year.
The script will be revised first, and people will be ordered to prepare shooting props. As long as the filming can start before October and be completed before the end of the year, it will be fine.
Because the Olympics are next year and he will be busy with the opening ceremony!
Speaking of the selection of Olympic directors, it started in 05.
The directors who went for the interview that year included Jiang Heng, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Jiang Wen, Feng Xiaogang, Li An and more than ten other directors.
Among them, Chen Kaige was rejected in the first round because he recited a poem, "Hearing the Government Troops Retaking Henan and Hebei" by Du Fu.
The judges were confused and said that we don’t need poets, but directors who can get things done, and then they eliminated him.
As for the candidates for directors, the jury is most optimistic about Jiang Heng and Zhang Yimou.
There is no need to say much about Jiang Heng, an internationally renowned director with extensive experience in directing special effects blockbusters. There is definitely no problem with creative design and scene scheduling.
The only problem the judging panel raised was his age. Some people felt that Jiang Heng was too young and were afraid that he would not be able to do his job well.
As for Zhang Yimou, he was well prepared and full of creativity.
On the day of the selection, two truckloads of information were brought over. Upon seeing this, Li An said that he felt he could only assist Director Zhang.
What’s even more rare is that Director Zhang Yimou really has unlimited creativity. On the first day, he comes up with a good idea and tells it to everyone with great excitement, but on the second day he rejects it and then tells you a more amazing one.
To be honest, if Jiang Heng didn't have the help of the "super microcomputer", he wouldn't even dare to think about this.
But since the conditions exist, we should naturally strive for it.
Eventually, he became an Olympic director thanks to his grand and creative designs.
In fact, there is related work in the second half of this year, but it is not that busy.
By 08, we had to focus our main work and energy on the Olympics.
I also squeezed out some time to prepare for the filming of "The King's Avatar".
They were both a little hungry, and Jiang Heng was too lazy to cook. Since he was not often at home, Jiang Heng did not hire a nanny. He got dressed and drove Liu Yifei out to eat.
"By the way, is the schedule for the second half of the year full?"
While eating, Jiang Heng suddenly asked.
"without!"
She has now turned to the big screen and basically stops filming TV series. As for movies, there are not so many good resources!
In the first half of the year, she filmed "The Forbidden Kingdom", starring Jackie Chan, Jet Li and others. She played the role of the female knight Jin Yanzi with superb martial arts skills. The filming took more than three months and she was extremely tired. Now she just wants to take a good rest and has not accepted any other film offers.
Of course, Jiang Heng's works are an exception, even the extras have to run.
Then he asked: "Is there enough time to shoot a new movie?"
Jiang Heng said: "No problem. This year we are mainly doing some preparation work. The focus of rehearsal will be next year. I have nothing to do during this period, so it's a good time to shoot another movie."
For a moment, Liu Yifei didn't know what to say. It was too fast.
The problem is that the movies Jiang Heng shoots are low-budget movies, not special effects blockbusters!
"What's the subject?"
"Well, it's science fiction and military, a bit like Hollywood superhero movies!"
