Yu Dong naturally would not have thought that just a few years later, the box office of a single film in the mainland film market would exceed 5 billion. And a few years later, the single-day box office of a movie would exceed 1 billion.
It should be noted that in today's film market, apart from Jiang Heng, there are really only a handful of films whose total box office can exceed 1 billion!
The only ones who made it are Stephen Chow in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and Xu Zheng in "Lost in Thailand".
Of course, there is another one who is about to be born, that is Ning Hao, who directed "Lost in Thailand".
This film is produced by Bonna Pictures. The project was only launched in July and has just been completed. It will not be released until next May Day or summer vacation.
With the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival approaching, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video have two blockbusters to be released, namely "The Flowers of War" directed by Zhang Yimou and "Fights Break Sphere" directed by Jiang Heng.
The former is scheduled to be released in North America on November 11rd in order to compete for an Oscar, and the promotional activities have already begun.
"Fights Break Sphere" is scheduled to be released during the 2012 Spring Festival, which is still several months away!
Jiang Heng’s most important job at the moment is still the filming of “Black Myth”. After the filming of this movie is completed, he really needs to have a good rest.
In his expectation, he would take a break for at least half a year, if not a full year. After so many years of continuous filming, he was indeed a little tired and it was time to enjoy himself.
In the words of Emperor Liu, "I have fought for so many years, can't I enjoy myself? I must continue to play music and dance!"
Da Tiantian fully supports Jiang Heng's idea and starts thinking about where to travel and making various plans all day long.
Liu Yifei is more career-oriented and supports Jiang Heng's ideas, but she did not turn down all film contracts and commercial activities.
After all, my business is booming right now, and stopping work for a year would be a huge loss.
Of course, she herself couldn't think of that much.
It was all Liu Xiaoli's idea. Judging from Jiang Heng's attitude, he really won't get married. There's no need to think about property for the time being. It's more economical for him to make more money on his own.
So Liu Yifei's schedule is very full and she hasn't come here for a long time.
Jiang Heng was very surprised that he suddenly came to the crew that day.
But she had her hair loose and wore sunglasses, a pink tweed coat on the upper body, black pants and long boots on the lower body, looking like a real goddess.
Seeing Jiang Heng's surprised expression, the young lady turned around and said with a smile: "Why, you don't recognize me?"
Jiang Heng said: "She is worthy of the name of a celestial being. There are really not many people who can handle this pink color!"
Liu Yifei felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, "You, are teasing me again!"
Jiang Heng didn't take up the topic and asked her how many days she would stay. The young lady looked helpless and said, "I can't stay even for a day. I have to leave tomorrow morning!"
"So urgent?"
"Well, it was like this before the New Year. I hope it will be better after the New Year!"
"Then you should get more rest!"
Jiang Heng knew the root of the problem and didn't say much. He asked Liu Yifei to rest in his RV and eat together after work.
Liu Tianxian said that she was not that tired and wanted to stay with Jiang Heng and watch him work, so Jiang Heng stopped persuading her.
The people in the crew were naturally used to this kind of thing, and no one looked surprised.
At night, after the crew finished work.
Jiang Heng drove Liu Yifei out to eat hotpot. Although the young lady has been working in the entertainment industry for many years, she is only 24 years old, which is the sunny age.
The two chatted and laughed and enjoyed the meal very much.
Afterwards, they returned to Jiang Heng’s mansion in Huairou, the one that belonged exclusively to the two of them.
After entering the house, Liu Yifei felt a little sad. Celebrities seem to have a glamorous life, but when they are busy, they have to fly and stay in hotels every day. She could not even remember when was the last time she came here.
"What are you thinking about?" Jiang Heng asked with a smile.
"No, I just feel a little strange after not being here for a long time!" Jiang Heng laughed, "It's normal to feel strange. I don't stay here many times a year. To be honest, I feel strange about most of my houses!"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "You've bought so many houses, and you've barely been to most of them. It would be strange if you're not unfamiliar with them!"
Jiang Heng just smiled awkwardly and ignored it.
Liu Yifei added: "By the way, most of your houses are empty. Isn't that a waste?"
"not bad!"
"My mom said it would be more cost-effective to rent it out!"
Jiang Heng said: "It's too troublesome!"
"Find someone trustworthy to take care of it!"
Jiang Hengxin said: "I don't have anyone I can trust!"
His father died and his mother remarried. Although his mother is still alive, they don't have much contact and don't spend the New Year together.
Especially in his previous life, because he was not doing very well, his mother didn’t care about him.
He occasionally goes to visit, and he always asks when he will be back. You are busy with work, so don't worry about me. I'm fine, just take care of yourself!
What I really mean is that everyone should live their own life and don’t disturb my life.
In this life, Jiang Heng became an international director and a top billionaire. Naturally, he had contact with his mother, and her words and deeds always told him that he was not having a good life.
Jiang Heng didn't waste any time. After he transferred the money monthly, things quieted down over there.
My mother is like this, so there is no need to count on relatives.
Jiang Heng sometimes wondered to himself, if he didn’t get married and have children, what was the point of earning so much fortune?
But when it comes to getting married, he is a little hesitant to make up his mind.
Fortunately, I’m not too old, so it’s no problem to wait another ten or eight years.
Don’t think about those things. Just be happy!
"It's just a little rent, it's not worth it. When I retire one day, I can consider becoming a landlord. How about you join me and become a landlady?"
Liu Yifei thought of the image of the landlady in "Kung Fu" and shuddered subconsciously, "Of course it would be nice to collect rent together, but the title of landlady makes me sound old!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "Then you are the landlord fairy!"
Liu Yifei was surprised and asked, "Am I also a landlord?"
"Of course, there's a share for you!"
Liu Yifei was naturally happy to hear this, but she didn't dare to think too deeply about it.
After washing up, they went to the bedroom to rest. In the second half of the night, they still couldn't sleep, so they leaned against each other and chatted.
Liu Yifei asked Jiang Heng about his specific plans for next year. Are they really not going to make movies?
Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said that he really didn't want to shoot anymore and needed to take a good rest.
Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "It's good to take a break. You have so many businesses under your name now, and your business is so big, but you are busy filming. There are many things that you can't take care of, and there are many hidden dangers!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "Auntie taught you?"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Jiang Heng and said, "I just thought of this myself. That's the way it is. If you hand over many things that need to be done by yourself to others, problems will definitely arise over time. To be honest, it's amazing that you can maintain the current situation!"
Jiang Heng smiled when he heard this. What Liu Yifei said was indeed one of the reasons why he wanted to take a break after 12 years.
In fact, corruption is a serious problem in many large private enterprises.
Although Jiang Heng has the help of a "super microcomputer" and is very good at checking accounts, he now has too many businesses under his name and the company is too large. The deterrent power of the previous audits is gradually insufficient, and he really needs to sort it out and rectify it. (End of this chapter)
