Let’s move the timeline forward and fix the time in July.

At this time, the movie "Hero" directed by Guoshi was introduced to Neon Country.

On July 17, a special screening will be arranged at the International Forum Center in Tokyo, Neon Country, and 500 viewers will be invited to watch the movie "Hero".

One month later, on August 16, the director of Guoshi took the main creative staff to Neon Country for promotion.

"Hero" was introduced by Warner Bros., and it was released in Shochiku theaters and Tokyu theaters.

This time period coincides with the summer vacation for students in Neon Country, and also coincides with the traditional "Obon Festival". The company will have a holiday. The purpose of choosing this day to release "Hero" is to attract more audiences to the cinema.

"Hero" has been soaring at the box office since its release.

When "The Heirs" was broadcast on Bangzi Country's SBS radio station, "Hero" which was released on RB had already been released and eventually made a box office of 4.05 billion neon national dollars.

He is worthy of being a national director, and deserves a lot of praise, just like the later "Man Jiang Hong", which deserves a lot of praise.

As soon as "The Heirs" was aired in Bangzi Country, it was immediately sought after by countless teenagers.

Jin Tan, played by Wang Kaikai, and Cha Shangen, played by Qin Lan, attracted countless fans in an instant.

Zaizai, which was already popular in the Asia-Pacific region, once again broke through in Bangzi Country.

After only three days of broadcasting, SBS's ratings have reached over 40%, which can be said to have shocked countless people.

Wang Yangguang even relied on the role of Liu Rachel, the second female lead in "The Heirs", who was Jin Tan's fiancée, to defeat Qin Lan, the first female lead.

Wang Yangguang’s popularity has exploded, which is also related to the social environment of this era in Bangzi Country.

The tide of feminist liberation in Sassy Girl has not faded yet, and Rachel Liu’s outstanding character is really attracting fans.

I don’t know if Wang Yangguang will interact with Nie Yuan after the popularity of "The Heirs".

The crazy ratings of "The Heirs" are like a mountain falling from the sky, pressing down on the head of Bangzi Country.

When "The Heirs" suppressed the high ratings of "Dae Jang Geum" by about 25%, you must know that the ratings of "Dae Jang Geum" in the original time and space were as high as 50%.

For a time, the true nature of Bangzi Country was exposed, and countless people called for a ban on "The Heirs" on the grounds of protecting local TV dramas.

The really shameless thing is that you can only go to other people's bowls to eat meat, and others can't come to you to grab food. This is the truth.

Fortunately, the backer behind SBS is also a consortium, and Showbox/Mediaplex, the distribution company of the movie "Xiu Chun Dao", is not a vegetarian.

In Bangzi Country, the consortium is heaven and the consortium is law.

As soon as the consortium took action, those voices that wanted to cause trouble immediately disappeared, and were replaced by a lot of criticism about the poor creative ability of local film and television practitioners and the need to work hard.

The microphone is in your hands and you have the final say.

With the popularity of "The Heirs" and the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in Bangzi Country on the 18th, as one of the leading actors in TV series and movies, Qin Lan is going to Bangzi Country to promote it.

I spent a few days with Jiang Kai in the beautiful country.

On September 10, when "The Heirs" had just taken off, Qin Lan flew to Bangzi Country.

As soon as Qin Lan left, Jiang Kai began to let himself go.

The canary kept in Beverly Hills has not been fed for a long time. Now that I have time, I should go and feed it.

Otherwise, if it takes too long, Canary may not recognize him as his master.

When big-mouthed beauty Anne Hathaway saw Jiang Kai, she was very surprised.

The heroine of "Twilight" has already cast her. Anne Hathaway knows that all this is because of Jiang Kai. Without Jiang Kai, she would not have been able to get this role.

Therefore, Jiang Kai’s seafood feast in the next few days will be all kinds of fancy dishes, which makes Jiang Kai feel comfortable physically and mentally.

During the few days of eating seafood feast, Jiang Kai was not idle.

It's time to consider a computer special effects studio, and it's time to consider candidates.

Although the impact of the Internet economic bubble has not completely dissipated, Internet stocks have begun to recover at this time.

That is to say, Jiang Kai doesn’t understand stocks, otherwise Jiang Kai might make a lot of money. Of course, while making a lot of money, he might also get a lifetime carrying award: an electronic collar or a permanent home—a small black box.
p>

This is also the main reason why Jiang Kai didn’t use stocks to make money.

He, Jiang Kai, a Chinese with a bright and upright character, was killing everyone in the beautiful country's stock market. I really thought that the beautiful country, as the world's policeman, was stupidly watching Jiang Kai take money out of their pockets.

On September 18, Jiang Kai took the time to go to Bangzi Guoshen’s house for the premiere of "Xiu Chun Dao".

Dalizi and Qin Lan did not perform the Shura scene, but they even performed the scene of sisterly love, which made Jiang Kai feel numb.

After attending the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Jiang Kai flew back to the beautiful country, attended the premiere of "Embroidered Spring Knife" in the beautiful country, and then continued to prepare for the preparatory work of his new movie.

The number of viewers at the premiere of the movie "Spring Knife" in Bangzi Country was 600,000, thanks to the explosive ratings of "The Heirs".

The day before the premiere of "Spring Knife", the ratings of "The Heirs" had exceeded 50%, surpassing "Life and Death in L.A." and temporarily ranking first in the year. Many people felt that this first place was impossible.

Being surpassed.

The number of moviegoers on the first day of "Xiu Chun Knife" in Bangzi Country, converted into Chinese currency, is equivalent to a first-day box office of about 18 million.

When the news spread back to China, the whole China was in a state of excitement, and countless people wanted to interview Jiang Kai.

Unfortunately, no one could find Jiang Kai. Jiang Kai seemed to have disappeared without a trace.

The operation of "Xiu Chun Dao" in Neon Country is similar to that in Bangzi Country.

When "Hero" was about to be released in Neon Country, "Xiu Chun Dao" also started promoting it.

The publisher once approached Jiang Kai and hoped that Jiang Kai would go to Neon Country to promote it.

When Jiang Kai received the other party's request, he refused without hesitation.

Go to Neon Country to promote?

I want to eat shit.

When I was searching in my mind, I had seen news about the volcanic eruption of Neon Country in 2023. I don’t know what will happen next. It would be best if Mount Fuji just erupts for a hundred days and burns out Neon Country.

That’s something that’s fun to hear and see.

Jiang Kai not only refused to go, but also did not allow any of the leading actors in the crew to go, which made the Neon Kingdom very embarrassed.

To this, Jiang Kai just replied with two words "Haha."

Neon Kingdom was forced to have no choice but to hire some supporting actors to promote it. Jiang Kai had nothing to say about this. To make money, you can't stop others from making money, right?

The premiere box office of "Xiu Chun Knife" in Neon Country was 200 million Neon Country money.

If the ticket sales of "Spring Knife" in Bangzi Country and Neon Country are still acceptable, then the total box office of "Spring Knife" in Pretty Country is 15 million dollars, which is completely incredible and makes many

People feel that their intelligence has been fooled.

After the news of "Xiu Chun Knife"'s total box office in Beautiful Country spread to China Internal Entertainment, Jiang Kai received a call from Han Shanping the next day.

Han Shanping's inner and outer meaning was to start the sequel to "Xiu Chun Knife" while it was still hot. Of course, he also hinted that Jiang Kai should not forget what he said.

What did Jiang Kai say? Of course the sequel to "Xiu Chun Knife" was partially invested by China Film.

In response, Jiang Kai smiled in his heart, and then gave Han Shanping a positive reply.

"Xiu Chun Knife" will start filming at the end of the year and will be released in the summer of 2004. At the same time, China Film has been promised a 20% investment share.

After getting the answer he wanted, Han Shanping hung up the phone with satisfaction.

Regarding special effects companies, Jiang Kai is targeting companies in the digital field.

Digital Domain is a special effects company co-founded by James Cameron and Stan Winston in 1993.

This special effects company can be said to be ill-fated. It was originally established for the convenience of truck drivers to make movies for themselves.

At first, the digital field was profitable, but because Kashen was a technology geek, the digital field gradually became unable to make ends meet. In May 2006, it was sold to Explosive Bay, the famous director Michael Bay.

Finally, the digital field went bankrupt in 2012.

At this time, the digital field is still relatively valuable, and Jiang Kai’s economic team is valued at between 100 million and 200 million U.S. dollars.

In this regard, Jiang Kai expressed his acceptance. No matter whether it is high or low, as long as the acquisition can be successful, it will be fine.

As for the price, as long as it is within the range that Jiang Kai can currently afford, he can accept it. After all, he can't take away much of the assets in the beautiful country, so spending a little more money will be a waste.

By acquiring Digital Domain, we can avoid many detours and save a lot of time.

There is a saying that every inch of time is worth an inch of gold, and every inch of gold cannot buy an inch of time. For the rise of special effects in China Entertainment, it is appropriate to spend some money, just like paying tuition.

The company that acquired Digital Comprehension was Tai Chi Production Company, which is Jiang Kai’s leather bag company in Beautiful Country. The final cost was 150 million U.S. dollars.

Tai Chi Company is not unknown. It has produced hit movies such as "Saw" and "Blair Witch", and it is also featured in the recent high-profile "Twilight" project.

Regarding Taiji Production Company's acquisition of the digital field, colleagues in the beautiful country were only surprised by Taiji Company's courage, and then not many people paid attention.

It's just the digital field, not the industrial magic light. No matter what industry it is, what people pay most attention to is often the small group standing at the top of the pyramid.

After Taiji Company acquired the digital field, in order to appease people's hearts, Jiang Kai raised everyone's salary by 10%. This operation immediately stabilized people's hearts.

Sure enough, no matter where you are, the most powerful way to appease your subordinates is to give money.

After acquiring Digital Domain, Jiang Kai’s first task was to create special effects for “Sword of Immortality”.

To be honest, although the original special effects of Fairy Sword are not 50 cents, they are really not that good. Not to mention compared with "Wind and Cloud", even the special effects of "The Best in the World" can beat "Fairy Sword" in seconds.

Now that Fu Hua Dao has been upgraded, stunts are naturally indispensable.

In order to lay a good foundation for subsequent fairy tale dramas, and to avoid the showy manipulation of fighting spirit turning into a horse, Jiang Kai decided to create the special effects in "Sword and Fairy" according to the special effects of the movie.

The most important thing is that Fairy Sword doesn’t have many special effects.

"Sword" first aired in January 2004, during the summer vacation.

At this time, there are still nearly three months before the premiere, and it is not a fancy special effect, so three months is enough.

We have completed the special effects production for "Sword and Fairy" in the digital field, and have also arranged to start the production of "Kung Fu Panda" directly after the digital field has completed the post-production special effects of "Sword and Fairy".
Chapter completed!
