Chapter 379 Global Film History No. 1

Chapter 379: No. in Global Film History
In the mainland market, after the secret key extension, the final box office performance of "Legend of the Little Soldier" was fixed at 18.19 billion yuan.

Based on the current exchange rate of 1 US dollar equals 6.77 RMB, the mainland box office is equivalent to 2.68 million US dollars.

Including the $7.39 million from the North American market, the total box office in the two major film markets of mainland China and North America alone has exceeded $10.07 billion, reaching $ billion.

Including Japan, South Korea, European countries, Southeast Asian countries, Australia, South America and other countries and regions, the global box office of "Little Soldier Legend" is 30.81 billion US dollars.

Yes, this is just a statistical box office result.

It is said that after the release of "Little Soldier Legend" in India, the response was very good and there were many people watching the movie.

But the box office results given there are very low, not as good as the small Southeast Asian country Vietnam.

Fortunately, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video directly sold the copyrights in the Indian market. If they followed the box office sharing model, I would be really angry with their operations.

Therefore, even though the box office result of 30.81 billion US dollars is not very accurate, it still shocked the global film market.

Especially Hollywood, because Jiang Heng has won the global box office championship twice.

The first time was with "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" with a box office of 23.98 billion US dollars, which broke the record of "Titanic".

But it was soon surpassed by "Avatar" with a box office of $25.79 billion, ranking second in global film history.

This time, with a huge investment of 30.81 million US dollars, "Little Soldier Legend" took a global box office of billion US dollars, making countless Hollywood directors feel powerless and even desperate.

Three billion US dollars, even James Cameron can’t say he can surpass it!
Besides, not everyone can handle a huge investment of $500 million.

The huge pressure to recoup investment alone is enough to make many directors depressed and anxious.

The success of "Legend of the Little Soldier" proves Jiang Heng's absolute strength in the field of commercial films.

If there was any director in the past who dared to claim that he was better than Jiang Heng.

Well now, at most he can just brag that he can be as famous as Jiang Heng!
In China, all major media outlets were reporting the good news and praising the news, and many official media outlets also reprinted and reported the news.

In terms of television media, several programs on CCTV News Channel broadcast related news throughout the day.

The "Xinwen Broadcast" also reported on it again, solemnly elaborating on the great significance and far-reaching impact of "Little Soldier Legend" winning the global box office championship in film history.

What does this mean? It means that the Chinese-language film industry has reached world-class standards, otherwise it would not have won the championship twice within a few years...!
While reports from the outside world were in full swing, Jiang Heng just stayed at the China Film Digital Base, concentrating on shooting his special effects blockbuster.

He holds a thermos cup every day and sits behind the monitor as steady as an old dog. He doesn't look like a man in his thirties at all!
"What are you laughing at?"

During the break in filming, Jiang Heng saw a group of actresses gathered together. They glanced at him from time to time and laughed, showing some curiosity.

Zhao Liying said, "Well, Director Jiang, they said that your mental age is at least fifty!"

Jiang Heng coughed and asked, "Who said that?"

Tang Yan raised his hand slightly with a timid expression.

Jiang Heng laughed, "You are really good at judging people!"

This made the girls bolder and more curious.

Yang Mi asked, "Director Jiang, a movie has a box office of over 3 billion US dollars. How do you feel?"

Jiang Heng had an indifferent expression, "I don't feel anything. Didn't we estimate before that there would be this many?"

"It's different, Director Jiang. The estimate was just an estimate, but now it's the exact result!"

"Yes, it's the No. 1 box office hit in the history of global movies!"

Jiang Heng smiled awkwardly, thought about it seriously and said, "How should I describe it? It's just an event, and its direction and result are basically within your expectations, so the sense of surprise is not that strong. If this kind of thing happens more often, the moment you hear the result, you really won't be that surprised, because you've already been happy!"

When the girls heard this, they all looked at each other with admiration, obviously impressed by Jiang Heng's tricks. "Okay, stop thinking about that and focus on filming! Whoever performs well may become the heroine next time!"

"Really?"

There were expressions of surprise in the eyes of several actresses, even Liu Yifei and Jing Tian were no exception. After all, with their relationship, it was not always possible for them to get the leading role in Jiang Heng's new film.

Everyone "inadvertently" glanced at Yan Xinchen, and no one was not envious.

Jiang Heng said: "Of course, why would I scare you!"

Then he pointed at Clara and said, "Your scenes will be filmed tomorrow. Go back to the company and find Mr. Du. He will arrange something for you!"

Clara played a witch in "Warcraft", which was just a small role with very few scenes.

She naturally remembered that Jiang Heng had said before that he would make a play for her, and that it would take several months, but she didn't expect that the day would come so soon.

"Okay Director Jiang, thank you Director Jiang!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, turned and left.

Yang Mi looked at Clara with envy, took her hand and said, "Minmin, you are going to be famous now!"

Clara smiled ingratiatingly, "I don't dare to think about those things. I just try my best to make a good movie!"

Tang Yan said: "Director Jiang arranged it himself, the script and investment won't be too bad, it should be successful!"

To be honest, whether it is Tang Yan or Yang Mi, the envy at this moment is real.

Although they are signed to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, and have produced one big-budget TV series after another, they are not that outstanding in terms of film resources.

The reason is simple: acting.

In Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters, the audience mainly watches the spectacular scenes, and to be honest, the acting skills of the heroine are not that demanding.

That is to say, a love special effects blockbuster like "White Snake: Origin" will have higher requirements on the acting skills of the heroine.

Although Jing Tian's acting skills are not that strong, but under Jiang Heng's repeated guidance, Xiaobai's acting is indeed good, which has won a lot of praise and is expected to win several film awards.

In the films not directed by Jiang Heng, the performances of several golden flowers were not so outstanding, and Jing Tian almost ruined his star career because of the movie "Warring States".

She was so scared that she said that she would definitely ask Jiang Heng for his opinion before filming any movie in the future.

If Jiang Heng says that the filming cannot be done, she will refuse and play the role of someone who listens to advice.

However, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others have the burden of being idols, and since they are not developing well in the film industry, they all rush to shoot idol dramas that are easy and profitable.

Jiang Heng did not interfere in this matter.

After all, idol dramas are mainly produced by their own companies, and whatever they shoot is a contribution to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

But the next day, after Clara finished filming, she took a bus back to the capital overnight.

The next day, she went to the company to meet the boss, Du Huan, who took out a script and looked at Clara in a flattering manner.

"I never thought that Director Jiang thought so highly of you. He was so busy preparing for Lich Wars, but he still found time to write a script for you!"

Clara was surprised when she heard this, and she said in unstandard Chinese, "Really? This is unbelievable. Director Jiang is so kind to me. I am so touched!"

Clara is indeed a professional actor. She actually shed a few tears and looked so moved that her eyes were filled with tears.
