Chapter 282 Industry Shock
"Hello, Director Jiang. I'm a reporter from Entertainment Live. You said this film is about a science fiction war. The weapons in the film will be very advanced, right?"

"Of course. It's a science fiction war, so the weapons must be very advanced. In addition, each character in this film has his or her own superpowers, so this is actually a superhero movie!" Jiang Heng replied.

"Superhero?" the reporters exclaimed.

In 07, the Marvel Universe's pioneering work "Iron Man" had not yet been born, and people's understanding of "superheroes" was still stuck on characters such as "Superman" and "Batman", which was somewhat biased.

A female reporter answered quickly, "Excuse me, is it like Superman, able to fly and hide, and invulnerable to swords and guns?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Of course not, they are human beings first, and then they have super powers!"

"Special abilities?" Another reporter asked excitedly, "The ability to become invisible, or to see through space?"

Jiang Heng saw that his expression was a little vulgar, as if he was speaking out his true feelings.

He smiled and replied, "No, the super powers of all the characters in this film are used for fighting!"

Speaking of this, I instantly think of the mutants with strange abilities in the "X-Men" series, who are simply there to make people laugh.

The most complained about thing is the "Hedgehog Man". It seems that those spikes are almost useless except for scaring people or crowding the subway.

But the reporters at the scene were looking at the main creators on the stage, wondering what kind of amazing super powers the characters they played would have.

I don't want to interview each one of them one by one, and have them all be vague and "play Tai Chi" and not say what their abilities are.

After all, the film won't be released until more than a year later. The opening ceremony and new film launch conference is just to tell the media about this and arouse the curiosity of the audience.

At this time, another reporter asked: "Hello, Director Jiang, is this film an original script, or is it adapted from a novel or comic?"

Jiang Heng smiled, thinking that he finally found someone clever, and explained: "It's hard to say. My game company is developing a new game. I wrote the background story and many of the game characters. During the game development process, I felt that it was very suitable for film and television adaptation, so this movie was made!"

After hearing this, all the reporters were a little confused. How could it be possible?
It's not uncommon to say that games are adapted into movies and TV shows.

The two "Legend of Sword and Fairy" series produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures were adapted from games and have a very good reputation, making Hu Can, Yang Mi, Liu Shisi and others famous.

In foreign countries, the 2001 Tomb Raider was relatively successful, but most of the other movie series adapted from games had poor reputations and average box office performance.

Because it is simple. The story backgrounds of most games are not very rigorous at the beginning. After all, even if there are some logical flaws, it is difficult to affect the gaming experience.

But it’s different if it’s adapted into a movie. The story must have conflict, be reasonable and logical, and not deviate from the main storyline. It’s really difficult.

So far, there have been very few successful movie adaptations of games.

Director Jiang, however, "killed two birds with one stone". He first wrote a background story and character settings for the game, and then used this information to adapt it into a movie.

The reporters felt that they had never heard of this before and could only say "admirable"!
After the press conference, Jiang Heng led the crew straight to the China Film Digital Base.

A group of reporters hurried back to their units to figure out how to write the article.

Some directly entered the field of gaming. After all, the online version of "Zhu Xian" was popular all over the country. It was said that Jiang Heng had transformed into a "gaming tycoon" and made blockbusters to promote the game.

After all, the online game version of "Zhu Xian" is very popular all over the country and has been greatly influenced by the movie and commercials of "Zhu Xian".

How many people who don’t really like playing games go to Internet cafes, register an account, and play a few games just because of movies or commercials!
Today's new film launch is equivalent to a huge advertisement for the upcoming game. Too many people will want to know what kind of game it is that makes Jiang Heng so eager to adapt it into a film or TV series.

The next day, many domestic entertainment media reported the news that Jiang Heng's new film had started filming, saying that the film was adapted from an upcoming game and believed that when the game was publicly tested in the future, it would become the most popular game in China. As soon as this report came out, many game companies were instantly unhappy.

In the CEO's office of Wangyi, Ding Lei was so angry that he laughed after seeing the news.

"Look at you, why do you always get involved in the gaming industry when you can just make movies?"

After mumbling for a while, he called a vice president and asked, "Do you know about the game that Jiang Heng Company is developing?"

"I heard that it's a real-time competitive game similar to World of Warcraft 3C. I heard that the development is very fast and it will be available for public testing by the end of the year!"

Ding Lei was shocked when he heard this. "End of the year? His company was founded just over a year ago, right?"

"Well, just over a year!"

“Two games within a year, how can it be so fast?” Ding Lei was very surprised.

After all, the development time of a large-scale game is about two years. It is a bit too much for the game company under Jiang Heng to release two games in more than a year.

It would be fine if it was an old company, but it was a newly established one, so Ding Lei was naturally shocked.

"I heard that when Zhu Xian was being developed, Director Jiang had already decided on a lot of content, so they worked very quickly...!"

After all, Jiang Heng's game company poached a research and development team from Wangyi. Even with a confidentiality agreement, it is impossible to completely isolate the news.

Ding Lei was even more surprised after hearing this. "Isn't his main job making movies? Where does he find the time to design games?"

To be honest, Ding Lei recognized Jiang Heng's talent and ability, and admitted that they were indeed remarkable.

But human energy and time are limited. Jiang Heng is already very fast in filming among all the directors, and he can even find time to design games. This is outrageous!

“Although it sounds incredible, I heard from my friends in the past that it is true. And for the one we are currently developing, a lot of the content has been designed in advance, so it can be so fast!

That brother also said that it was a pity that Director Jiang’s talent was wasted on making movies. If he focused on making games, he would definitely be able to make his company worth hundreds of billions, the largest in China!”

Ding Lei was annoyed when he heard this: "I should thank him for not concentrating on making games, right?"

The vice president smiled awkwardly, and he really felt so in his heart.

Of course, you can't say that.

"Actually, I also think he's exaggerating a bit. If you ask me, this might be a trick!"

"Oh, what do you say?"

"Director Jiang doesn't often go abroad for vacation. Who knows how many industries he has overseas and what they are involved in? Those two games might have been prepared by foreign companies before being handed over to them!"

When Ding Lei heard this, he didn't know how to comment for a moment.

In his heart, he was inclined to believe this reason. After all, geniuses often hate other geniuses.
