Chapter 45 is released
Causeway Bay, inside my home.

Jiang Heng stood in front of the window admiring the night view and thinking about future developments.

In the film and television industry, it is not enough to just make movies.

For example, several large Hollywood companies pinned all of their main revenue on movies in the early years. As a result, a huge loss from a blockbuster movie would push the company to the brink of bankruptcy.

Although Jiang Heng is not in such a crisis, he still seems alone and powerless if he only acts as a director.

Besides, you can’t just keep all the money you earn in the bank after all these years. It only makes sense if you spend it.

Although I'm not as rich as Wang Duoyu or the super-rich people in online novels, it's enough to make some normal investments and deepen my influence in the entertainment industry!

It’s a pity that Hengdian Film and Television City has already been built, otherwise he really wants to build one.

Furthermore, we can build a theme park, but when we think about the fact that we don’t have many IPs at the moment, we feel hesitant.

I'm thinking whether to build a smaller dinosaur park first, or wait a few years and then build a bigger one.

While I was thinking, the cell phone beside me suddenly rang.

I picked it up and saw it was Sammo Hung.

Jiang Heng was stunned. They had just finished their meal and left!

"Hey, brother, why aren't you sleeping so late?"

"Well, this is what happened. Mr. Zou from Jiahe called me and said he wanted to treat you to a meal!"

"Oh, he invited me?"

In Jiang Heng's previous life in Hong Kong, he never made a name for himself and was an unknown person for a long time.

By the time he became a little famous, Jiahe had already closed down and was sold to Shengtian!
Therefore, he had never dealt with Zou Wenhuai in either his past or present life. When he first heard that the other party wanted to invite him to dinner, he was really surprised.

Hong Jinbao said, "Don't worry, Mr. Zou is a very nice person. He just wants to chat with you. It won't affect anything. If you are afraid of a dull occasion, I will accompany you!"

Jiang Heng thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go together!"

In fact, to him, the Hong Kong film market is not very important.

Generally speaking, the annual champion only earns 30 to 50 million, and the box office revenue after sharing is only 10 to 20 million.

For him, who values ​​the global box office market, the share is too low, so he has nothing to worry about.

The next day, Sammo Hung drove downstairs and Jiang Heng went downstairs and got into Sammo Hung's Mercedes.

Talking about this meeting, Hong Jinbao suddenly said: "I think they may ask you to release the film in advance!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Is it you who thinks it, or is it Mr. Zou who said it?"

Hong Jinbao looked as if he was asking, "Of course I'm just guessing. I've also started several companies, okay? Now everyone knows that your 100 Million Years BC is definitely the top box office winner for this year's Lunar New Year. Those two movies don't have enough selling points. If all three movies are released at the same time, no one will make any money!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, not objecting to the request.

"100 Million BC" has the support of the global market, so it doesn't matter if the box office in Hong Kong is more or less.

The market where the copyrights of "Glass Bottle" and "King of Comedy" can be sold is much smaller, so we still value the Hong Kong market very much.

The two of them remained silent along the way and soon arrived at the agreed hotel.

Zou Wenhuai was very generous and directly booked a restaurant. He placed a cup of coffee in the restaurant lobby which was decorated in a simple Chinese style.

The three old men sitting there had a strong aura, a bit like the three giants in “The Warlords”.

Jiang Heng was the younger generation, so he took the initiative to greet everyone when he entered the room.

Zou Wenhuai then stood up and saluted, "Mr. Jiang, I have heard of your great name for a long time, and today is the chance to meet you!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "It's just some empty reputation, like floating clouds!" Zou Wenhuai was stunned, smiled and said nothing.

The five people exchanged greetings and sat down.

When Zou Wenhuai asked about the market performance of "100 Million Years BC" in various countries, Jiang Heng told him everything he knew.

"Talented people emerge in every generation, and the old are replaced by the new!" Zou Wenhuai sighed.

Jiang Heng hurriedly said: "Mr. Zou, you can't say that. The Hong Kong film industry still depends on you to lead it!"

Zou Wenhuai just sighed, "I'm old, I'm old!"

He was really old. Zou Wenhuai in 1927 was already over years old.

Even if you take good care of yourself, you can’t compare to when you were young!
Cai Yongchang said: "Mr. Jiang, the future of Hong Kong's film industry will depend entirely on you!"

Jiang Heng hurriedly said modestly: "No, no...!"

After praising each other for a while, they finally talked about this year's Spring Festival movie season.

Liang Feng expressed his wish for "100 Million Years BC" to be released earlier than expected. Jiang Heng hesitated and did not answer immediately.

He was naturally prepared to agree, but Zou Wenhuai suddenly said, "Mr. Jiang, our Jiahe Cinema Line also wants to distribute your film 100 Million Years BC. What do you think?"

Jiang Heng was overjoyed when he heard this, "That couldn't be better!"

It is extremely rare to be able to release a film simultaneously in three cinema chains in Hong Kong. A few years ago, that would have been unthinkable.

Since Jiahe offered this condition, Jiang Heng had no reason not to agree. For a while, both the host and the guests were toasting and having a great time.

After dinner, he contacted Xinbao Cinema Chain and Jinsheng Cinema Chain and proposed the idea of ​​releasing the film a week earlier.

The two families had no objections and agreed readily.

Jiang Heng then went to Jiahe and signed a distribution agreement, and the matter was settled.

Immediately afterwards, all the major film companies under the three cinema chains posted or replaced their latest movie posters, and television, radio and newspapers also reported the news that "100 Million Years BC" would be released early.

At the newsstand, a young man saw the news and was ecstatic.

"It's opening early, that's great. If it doesn't, I'll take my girlfriend to Shenzhen to see it!"

"Oh, no way, is that so exaggerated? I can even go through customs to watch a movie?"

"It's mainly because her bestie has seen it and said the plot is very exciting, so she can't help it and can't wait to see it! I really don't understand why girls always like this kind of movies?"

"Women are born to like excitement. Don't let her feel too dull, or you will be in trouble!"

"Oh, it's so annoying, why not play video games instead!"

The young man said helplessly...

On the day the film was released, all the major cinemas in Hong Kong were packed with people who wanted to watch the movie.

Some young boys and girls gathered together, talking excitedly.

There were also frustrated parents who brought their children and complained about why the painting had to start early when everything had been arranged properly.

As a result, when the child found out that the film’s release date was moved forward, he cried and asked to go!
In the cinema, Hong Kong audiences watched the modern scenes of "10,000 BC" with great interest, because many of them had read the novel "A Step into the Past" and had the concept of traveling through time and space and returning to the past in their minds.

Some audiences in mainland China think that it is ridiculous that "Nine Planets in Conjunction" can trigger time travel, while in Hong Kong, the audiences are discussing why they don't have a time machine like in "A Step into the Past". Using a time machine to transport a group of special forces to the Jurassic period and bring back a batch of dinosaur DNA, isn't it more reliable than using mosquito blood in amber in "Jurassic Park"?

Then we can also create a dinosaur park scene, and build a dinosaur theme park in Hong Kong, and then enclose land and build houses. There should be some profit, right?
