Chapter 374 Three Billion Dollars

"Congratulations, Director Jiang. The box office of Little Soldier Legend in mainland China has exceeded 16 billion. When the movie is released, it will probably be around billion or billion, right?"

Gao Yuanyuan, who was a little older among the girls, raised her glass and said.

Her development is better than in her previous life, but she has not yet reached the top.

However, she is not that ambitious and is not very active in seeking company resources.

This time, I came here only after being persuaded by my agent.

There aren't that many topics to talk about, so naturally I'd like to congratulate Jiang Heng on the box office success of his hit movie. There's nothing wrong with that.

The others all raised their glasses, and their eyes lit up when they talked about the box office of "The Legend of Little Soldiers".

"1.7 billion or 1.8 billion, so much more than the second place, it's really amazing!"

"The global box office performance is really impressive, it should be over 3 billion US dollars, right?"

"It should be possible, right?"

Jiang Heng laughed, "It's hard to say, I can only say the probability is very high!"

It is indeed a high-probability event. Compared with "Avatar", which broke the global box office record, "Little Soldiers: Legend of the Little Soldiers" also has its own advantages.

The biggest one is naturally the work directed by Jiang Heng.

If you think about it carefully, it is true.

Although James Cameron has a good reputation and a certain box office appeal, the number of his works is relatively small.

Naturally, his reputation among movie fans around the world cannot be compared with Jiang Heng's.

The second is the genre of the film, science fiction plus military, which happens to be something that audiences around the world can understand easily.

The visual effects, special effects texture and even story content all surpass "Avatar". If we have to say that "Little Soldier Legend" has any flaws, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, it is just that the male protagonist's face is not white.

But in fact, this so-called "flaw" is not as big as the Hollywood media thinks.

Over the past period of time, "Little Soldier Legend" has conquered major film markets around the world and continuously broke box office records.

Some have just been released, and some have entered the key extension stage. According to the current box office trend, there is a high probability that it will exceed 3 billion US dollars!

If that day really comes, Jiang Heng will have accomplished a miracle in the history of the film industry, that is, using the highest production cost (500 million US dollars) to make the film with the highest global box office, which will definitely go down in history.

Therefore, although it has not been achieved yet, some online media have already started to get excited and published various soft articles praising Jiang Heng.

The girls in the room could see something, and when it came to compliments, they had no shortage of ideas and words.

But Jiang Heng felt a little bored listening to it. After all, he had heard similar words too many times.

After thinking about it, I decided to change the subject and ask everyone about their work progress.

Several girls were very excited and gave a brief account of their experiences.

Jiang Heng saw that Clara seemed a little depressed, so he asked a question specifically.

The latter was greatly surprised and moved. After all, she was a foreign artist and was different from other girls.

Jiang Heng said, "Do your job well. I'm quite busy recently. I'll make a movie for you in a few months!"

Everyone at the table was stunned, and Liu Yifei and Jing Tian looked even more suspicious.

Clara was already extremely grateful, and hurriedly stood up to toast, "Thank you Director Jiang, thank you Director Jiang, I will work hard to repay you for your support and care for me!"

Clara is quite fluent in Chinese, but her accent is a little strange.

Jiang Heng couldn't help laughing every time he heard it.

He waved his hand and said, "Don't get so excited, it's just a small-budget movie!"

The girls at the table were still very envious.

Of course, from the context of Jiang Heng's words, we know that it is not a special effects blockbuster. However, the film that Jiang Heng personally ordered must be extraordinary!

Maybe he had a story in his mind, and he spent several months polishing it, and then arranged for others to shoot it.

Da Tiantian is straightforward and trustworthy. She leaned forward slightly and asked, "What's the story?"

"You want to film a story about a middle-aged man having an affair?"

"Ah, never mind!"

As soon as he heard that Jiang Heng was not the lead actor, Jing Tian instantly lost interest.

The other girls were in a similar mood. They had little interest in acting opposite a middle-aged greasy man.

Little did he know that the actor who was suitable for the role of a greasy middle-aged man in Jiang Heng's mind was only 30 years old at the moment.

That’s right, the movie he was going to shoot was “The Love Master”, and the middle-aged greasy man in the movie was Xiao Yang.

Xiao Yang, born in 80, and Wang Taili formed the "Chopstick Brothers" group. They wrote and directed the youth film "Old Boy", which was released in June, a little earlier than in their previous life.

At this point, Xiao Yang is considered a top figure in the Chinese film and television industry, so it wouldn't be particularly strange if he was suddenly asked to make a movie one day.

Of course, all this has to wait until the filming of "War of the Liches" is completed. There is definitely no time to take care of those things now.

At the end of the meal, the topic of conversation inevitably fell on the casting of the new film, and Jiang Heng still had a few words to say in the end.

The general meaning is that the new film has many characters, including several female characters, but there are action scenes, which are quite difficult to shoot. We will talk about the specific content after the project is approved!

After hearing this, the girls finally understood that the competition would not be that fierce.

Because according to Jiang Heng, if the film doesn't feature an absolute heroine like Xiaobai, Nie Xiaoqian, or Feng Baobao, but a bunch of supporting actresses with similar roles, then "if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm doomed."

The next day, Jiang Heng announced at the meeting that the new film "War of Liches and Wizards" is a prequel to "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", telling the story of the war between liches and wizards and the change of master of heaven.

Those who supported this topic cheered, while the other group seemed a little disappointed.

Jiang Heng said: "The company has a lot of dramas to start, and they will all be filmed sooner or later, but at this stage, everyone should focus on the preparations for "War of the Liches". After all, this drama involves many characters, magic weapons, and battle scenes, and the plot is also very complicated.

Therefore, the next adaptation task is very heavy, and the screenwriter department should be mentally prepared. "

"We know, Director Jiang!"

"The props team, come to me in a couple of days to get the manuscript and make the props according to my drawing!"

"Our props department is so lucky to have your hand-drawn drawings, Director Jiang!"

"Although the script has not yet been released, the candidates for the main roles in the film can be selected in advance. The casting department will send a notice within the circle and invite a group of actors to audition."

"No problem, Director Jiang!"

"The publicity department should prepare the manuscript and release some news in due course!"

"Don't worry, Director Jiang, we are good at this, just wait for it to become a hot topic again!"

Jiang Heng laughed awkwardly, "It's really frustrating that this keeps trending on the search list!"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and all kinds of compliments came out of their mouths.

The next day, Jiang Heng's name was indeed on the hot search, and the words associated with it were "The new film "War of the Liches" is being prepared in full swing!"

As soon as the news came out, it caused a huge shock in the entertainment and online literature circles.

Because "The Buddha Is the Tao" was already very popular, the plot of "War between Witches and Liches" had already been popularized.

It goes without saying that this is a magnificent bloody battle between the two "Lich" races.

According to the setting of "Buddha's Original Story", the ancient world was shattered.

When you think about it this way, the scenes in “Legend of the Little Soldier” don’t seem that big!
