The mainland box office of "Primordial Chaos: Houyi Shoots the Sun" is 22.73 billion yuan. If "The Fall of Heaven" can exceed that or achieve similar results, the total mainland box office of the two films combined will be to billion yuan, which is also a very shocking figure.

This further stimulated the bosses of other film companies, who all felt that they could reap the box office dividends left by Jiang Heng.

For a time, the Chinese-language film market was extremely lively, with not only directors and actors thinking about directing new films.

There are even writers who have crossed over into the film industry and become directors, and there are more than one such writer.

The first one is Guo Jinming. In fact, he had invited Yang Mi at the beginning of the year and wanted her to star in the movie "Tiny Times".

However, for Guo Jinming, who is not from the entertainment industry, it is not easy for him to cross over and his confidence is not that high.

Preparations for filming were even slower, and coupled with the need to coordinate the actors' schedules, filming had not started by the end of the year.

Suddenly I heard that Jiang Heng would suspend filming for a year, and I felt that this was a rare opportunity, so I set the film release date for the 2013 Spring Festival, and it will definitely start shooting in the near future.

The other is Han Han, who is no stranger to the film and television industry and has had contact with Jiang Heng. In fact, he has had the idea of ​​making a film for a long time, but has never put it into action.

This time it was not him who took the initiative to make the film, but Yu Dong talked to him about the idea of ​​investing.

After chatting a few times, we hit it off.

……

However, the entertainment industry is full of turmoil and bustle.

But there has been no news about Jiang Heng since the wrap party of Black Myth.

Some said he went abroad, some said he was in Beijing, anyway, they all said he was busy with the post-production work of the film.

It was not until the premiere of "The Flowers of War" that she reappeared in front of the media and the audience.

The reporters were extremely excited, much happier than seeing the film's main creators including Zhang Yimou and Ni Ni.

"Hello, Director Jiang. Recently, there has been news that you will stop filming for a year starting from the New Year. Is this true?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's true. Not after the New Year, but now!"

"Then may I ask what your considerations are?"

"I don't have any special considerations. I've just been busy filming and my nerves are stretched. I need a good rest. Just like everyone who works five days a week needs to relax on the weekend!"

The reporters laughed when they heard this, because many of them could not guarantee a double day off on weekends!

"Hello, Director Jiang. I'm a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment. I saw a rumor online that you want to suspend filming because you have run out of good inspiration and creativity and your career is at a bottleneck, right?"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Of course not, there are so many creative ideas and so many things to shoot. Don't worry, in 2013, I will definitely make a comeback!"

The reporters laughed after hearing this, but they did not think Jiang Heng was arrogant.

After all, considering his current achievements and status, he is the absolute king of the Chinese-language film market.

Including Hollywood, there are not many people who can "tie" with him!
After the premiere, there was a thank-you dinner as usual, but this time there were a lot more guests, and they were mainly movie company bosses and directors.

The purpose and intention were obvious, they just wanted to hear Jiang Heng's vacation arrangements with their own ears. For a while, there was a constant stream of glasses and people came to toast.

"Hello, Director Jiang, I'm Guo Jinming!"

“Hello, I know you, best-selling author!”

Because Yang Mi signed the contract to play the female lead in "Tiny Times", iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures and Guo Jinming are in a cooperative relationship, so Jiang Heng naturally has to give the other party some face.

Guo Jinming is able to do very well in his career and he is a smart man who is good at speaking nice words.

He said Jiang Heng was his idol, young, handsome, and highly successful. He couldn’t even write a male protagonist like him in his novels, so perfect that it seemed unreal.

Jiang Heng laughed and responded casually with a few words.

He has no obvious likes or dislikes for this person, and the same is true for "Tiny Times". How should I put it? In fact, he thinks this movie was shot too early.

If we could wait until the era of short videos, when the audience could see the lives of the rich and how they flaunt their wealth, perhaps word of mouth wouldn't be so bad.

Of course, he didn't invest in the film, so there's no point in saying anything, so he naturally doesn't bother to say those things.

Han Han also came and followed Yu Dong like a little brother.

After the toast, Yu Dong mentioned that Bonna Pictures was going to invest in a film written and directed by Han Han. Jiang Heng politely praised him and said that he had a bright future!
Yu Dong smiled awkwardly and said that this was Han Han's first cross-border filmmaking, and it was paid for by us, so you must give him some guidance when you are free.

Jiang Heng glanced at Yu Dong, and from his smile he knew what this guy was up to, he wanted him to be listed as a nominal producer!
After all, he only said that the filming work was suspended, and being listed as a nominal producer does not conflict with what he said.

In addition, Han Han's film has its own producer title, which brings many benefits in terms of publicity.

I have to say, Lao Yu's abacus beads make quite a loud noise!

Jiang Heng didn't say anything definite, he just said there was time.

The people around were all smart, their eyes sparkling, wondering if they could invite Jiang Heng to be the nominal producer based on their current relationship.

If this is realized, we can sell at least 100 million more!
Guo Jinming, who was standing by, was extremely envious when he heard this, and kept looking at Han Han from time to time.

Unfortunately, this was his first meeting with Jiang Heng, and without a big shot like Yu Dong as a middleman, he could not bring himself to ask Jiang Heng to be the producer.

As for asking Yang Mi to intercede, it probably won't work. You'll have to ask Liu Yifei or Jing Tian to have hope.

But he didn't know that no matter how much money he paid, Jiang Heng would never be associated with "Tiny Times"!

After the dinner, Jiang Heng wanted to go home directly.

Zhang Yimou said that he wanted to find a place to drink some tea and chat.

Jiang Hengxin said, you are not planning to make a new film, are you?

When we got to the teahouse and sat down to chat, it was true.

Zhang Yimou’s idea is that after so many years of striving for an Olympic medal, this time his hope is the greatest.

If it works, I will definitely not make similar films in the future.

If he fails, he will never try to win an Oscar again.

So, after "The Flowers of War", he was ready to transform.

I just haven’t decided yet whether to make a purely artistic or purely commercial film.

Not wanting to encounter Jiang Heng's decision to suspend the filming, Zhang Yimou became a little more active.

I can also make blockbuster movies. "Hero" is the first blockbuster movie in Huayu Films other than Jiang Heng's works. He has been making commercial blockbusters in recent years!
Jiang Heng couldn't help but ask, "What type of film do you want to shoot now?"

Zhang Yimou asked, "What do you think about shooting fantasy and special effects?"

Jiang Heng smiled awkwardly, "Not bad!"

"Well, this is what I think. Special effects blockbusters are too expensive. It's very stressful to just rely on the domestic market to make a profit. We can consider co-production between China and the United States!"

Jiang Heng quickly stretched out his hand and said, "No, there is no need for a Sino-US co-production. We can afford it ourselves. At most, I can make a cameo appearance and be named as a producer. You don't have to worry about overseas promotion!"

Zhang Yimou grinned and said, "That's fine. Now that you put it like that, I feel more confident!"

Jiang Heng asked: "What kind of film do you want to take?"

Zhang Yimou said: "I think that Director Jiang, among all the genre films, you have only dabbled in monster movies. You can definitely explore more!
Besides, the popularity of "The Fall of Heaven" is so high, and everyone is particularly interested in the ancient witches and the monsters mentioned in "Classic of Mountains and Seas"! "(End of this chapter)
