In Beijing, not far from the Olympic Sports Center, on a golf club course.

Jiang Heng, Du Huan, Li Xiaoping, Yu Dong, Jing Tian and others were playing ball and strolling together leisurely.

A woman in a suit explained the details of the club to everyone.

She was recently promoted by the group company and is responsible for the operation of this golf club.

This golf club is just an industry of the cultural tourism project department of iQiyi Culture and Entertainment Company, a subsidiary of the group company.

In addition to this golf club, the project department also operates many cultural tourism and sports industries such as Gubei Water Town, iQiyi Cinema Resort, and iQiyi Park.

The bottom line is that the company has too much money, so it continues to expand into the upstream and downstream of film and television entertainment and surrounding industries.

Besides, with Jiang Heng's current fame and status, such activities are inevitable, so it would be better for him to organize one himself and have fun.

After a game of ball, everyone went to the restaurant to eat. Yu Dong detailed the achievements of several films produced and released by the group company during this summer's season.

To sum it up in five words, “sweeping the summer season”!
The final box office of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: Return of the King" in mainland China was 26.43 billion yuan. "Ghost Blows Out the Light: Mojin: The Legend" has not been released yet, but according to the current box office trend, it is estimated that it will still make to billion yuan.

Including two small and medium-budget movies, the total box office of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video in the mainland during the 2013 summer season was nearly 46 billion yuan, accounting for more than % of the entire summer box office.

The industry's leading position is beyond doubt!
Therefore, it can be said that the entire entertainment industry is paying close attention to the type and content of Jiang Heng’s next work.

Du Huan, Yu Dong and others were also quite curious.

The latter used a toothpick to pick a piece of watermelon, took a bite and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, have you decided what to shoot next?"

Jiang Heng took a sip of the orange juice in front of him and said with a smile, "A science fiction movie, right?"

"Science fiction?" Several people present couldn't help but murmur.

Among Jiang Heng’s various works, the most popular in the global market are science fiction blockbusters.

Because audiences all over the world can understand it. Unlike mythological stories, people from different countries, regions and nationalities will have a certain sense of immersion when watching the movie.

Du Huan was a little excited and asked, "Are you ready to shoot "The Three-Body Problem 2"? "

Jiang Heng shook his head and said with a smile: "It's not time yet!"

Du Huan sighed, "Western audiences are eagerly waiting for this!"

He has traveled abroad many times to negotiate business with overseas film producers on behalf of Jiang Heng and is quite familiar with such situations.

After the "Three-Body" trilogy was published in the West, it received very wide popularity. Many political and business leaders in Western countries expressed their love for the "Three-Body" series.

Hollywood film and television companies have also extended olive branches, wanting to co-produce with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, but were all rejected.

Jing Tian asked curiously, "What are you going to shoot?"

In fact, given the relationship between the two, Da Tiantian really has the opportunity to ask at any time.

But Jiang Heng always said that he hadn't thought it through, so she was also unaware of it.

"Well, this time, I want to shoot something different, science fiction!"

Li Xiaoping smiled, "Director Jiang said that, it seems like he has already thought it through!" Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said with a smile, "Indeed, I think the story has already been thought of!"

In fact, if Jiang Heng wanted to make an ordinary science fiction movie, he could have made those high-scoring Hollywood science fiction movies a few years ago.

It’s just that he doesn’t have much feeling for most Hollywood blockbusters, so he just lets time pass by.

As for this time, I suddenly thought of a phrase, "Eight billion mad dogs rushing out of the earth."

It says that aliens have mastered space jumping technology, and countless spaceships with obvious hostility suddenly appear in the sky above the earth.

But surprisingly, the aliens who came to invade the earth had military strength only at the level of the human flintlock era. Compared with the earthlings who had missiles and other means of attack, they were laughably weak.

So after the war, the eight billion people on Earth mastered the aliens' space jumping technology, and like "mad dogs out of a cage", they began to carry out reverse invasion in the universe.

This eye-popping scene comes from Harry Totterduff's classic science fiction short story "The Path".

Jiang Heng suddenly thought of it and thought that it would be very interesting if it was made into a special effects blockbuster.

Human beings on Earth have mastered hyperspace engines and anti-gravity technology, ushering in the era of interstellar warfare and colonization. Just thinking about it makes it sound magnificent!
If it is well shot, it is very easy to make a good science fiction series of movies.

However, the most important thing at the moment is to obtain the film and television adaptation rights of the novel.

Jiang Heng has already sent people to the United States for negotiations, and news will be reported back soon.

It is expected that there will be no twists and turns. After all, the influence of film and television works is far greater than that of words.

If an internationally renowned director like Jiang Heng is willing to make a film, I guess no novel author would refuse.

So two days later, the commissioner sent by Jiang Heng sent back news that the film and television adaptation rights of "Alien Path" had been obtained.

Jiang Heng was very excited after hearing this, and at the same time he was a little fortunate. In his opinion, this was really a good subject. However, until he was reborn in his previous life, no film company was planning to shoot it. Perhaps "interstellar colonization" was reflecting the shameful history of the West in the past few hundred years?
After obtaining the film and television adaptation rights for the novel, Jiang Heng began to write the script.

Because the novel only provides an idea and setting, just like Ning Hao's "Crazy Alien" is claimed to be adapted from Liu Cixin's science fiction novel "Rural Teacher", but in terms of the plot alone, I really can't see how much connection there is.

This is not the case with Jiang Heng's new film. At least the plot at the beginning where aliens suddenly arrive is still based on the original novel.

He is just the protagonist of the film, and Jiang Heng needs to re-conceive and set the subsequent story line.

In order to concentrate on his creation, Jiang Heng has not been to the company in recent days. Instead, he has been hiding at home writing scripts and even drove Jing Tian away.

Liu Yifei called to ask about the situation, but Jiang Heng hung up after saying a few words.

In the entertainment industry, it is rumored that Jiang Heng is going to make a different science fiction blockbuster, with the goal of breaking the global box office record in film history.

All major film and television companies felt under tremendous pressure when they heard the news. A traditional movie like "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber: Return of the King" with many guest appearances by celebrities can earn more than 26 billion at the box office. How many science fiction blockbusters must they make!
The audience's spending power on movies is limited. If they watch more Jiang Heng's films, they will naturally watch less films by others.

Many artists in the entertainment industry expressed excitement after hearing the news.

I kept trying to find out what roles were available and what the casting criteria were.

After all, it is a science fiction blockbuster with a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if you play a small role in it, it will be quite beneficial to your future development.

As for Jiang Heng's fans, they were really excited and kept surfing the Internet to refresh the news, wanting to know what story Jiang Heng was going to shoot this time. (End of this chapter)
