"The Legend of Wei" was released worldwide, and promotional activities such as the premiere were also held in several major film markets around the world, such as Japan, South Korea, North America, France, etc.
All in all, the itinerary is quite tight.
Jiang Heng and Yang Mi rushed to the company after breakfast, and then led the team to the airport and headed for Japan.
The partner here is still Toho Corporation. The person in charge showed great enthusiasm for the arrival of Jiang Heng and others. He led the crowd to the airport to welcome them and held a grand premiere ceremony the next day.
Japanese people prefer tragedies and particularly appreciate the image of Chi You portrayed in the film.
I think he was "brave enough to resist", had extremely high martial arts skills, and died heroically under the siege of so many powerful people. He is a true hero.
Ding Haifeng, who played Chi You, was praised by Japanese media. They thought that the Tang Monk he played in the movie "Lion Camel Ridge" was brave, resolute, fearless and a heroic character.
For a time, Ding Haifeng became more and more famous in Japan, and he was more popular than the female lead Yang Mi.
But in South Korea, the first thing that struck the audience after watching the film was that it was big.
The primitive continent in the film is so vast, and the shamans of the Jiuli tribe are all tall and strong.
Even the people of the Yan and Huang tribes looked more brave than modern people.
The magnificent war scenes shown in the film made them exclaim in amazement and sigh with emotion.
Afterwards, the group flew to the United States and landed at Los Angeles Airport.
Columbia Pictures sent a vice president to lead a team to pick up Jiang Heng and his group at the airport and take them to the hotel where they were staying.
That evening, Columbia Pictures CEO Sanford Panitch hosted a reception dinner for Jiang Heng and others, and at the dinner he enthusiastically introduced someone to Jiang Heng, that is Christopher Nolan.
"Jiang, this is Director Nolan. He has always liked your work and thinks you are the greatest director in the world in this century!"
Nolan was more shy. After shaking hands, he talked about several of Jiang Heng's favorite works and his comments on them. Overall, his comments were quite objective and to the point.
Later, he talked about the movie "Inception". As the director of the American remake, he was reluctant to take on this project at first because he felt that Jiang Heng had already done a great job and even won an Oscar, and he had no idea what could be changed.
But in Hollywood, being aloof is not a way to make a living, so after repeated invitations from Sanford Panitch, he finally agreed to direct.
Then he asked Jiang Heng about his original conception of the film and whether there were any regrets that were not filmed.
Jiang Heng talked about the in-depth analysis of the film, which left Nolan stunned.
When Jiang Heng asked who they were going to cast as the male lead, Sanford Panitch and Nolan said Leonardo in unison.
Jiang Heng nodded slightly, but to be honest, Leo, who was born in 74, is not as good-looking as before.
Fortunately, in the movie "Inception", the audience's attention was attracted by the complicated plot, and they didn't really care about his appearance.
But Nolan still said with some regret that it would have been great if Leonardo had been invited to star in the film a few years earlier.
Jiang Heng smiled and didn't say anything more.
The next day, Columbia Pictures held a grand premiere ceremony for "The Jingwei Filling the Sea" in Hollywood.
There were many media reporters coming, but to Jiang Heng’s surprise, other Hollywood film producers also sent representatives.
Ruhua Na Company wanted to invite Jiang Heng to a banquet and talk to him about the project of remaking "The Matrix".
As for the representatives of other companies, they just came to make themselves known. At the premiere event, after the media interviews, there was also a film screening.
The American audiences were naturally conquered by the film's solid and shocking special effects, and they kept exclaiming while watching the movie.
However, the media reporters will not brag in unison, because other film companies have blockbusters released, and since they are competitors, they are bound to discredit each other.
These are all common business practices, and Jiang Heng doesn't care too much about them.
His reputation in the North American market has always been strong, and his movies cannot be buried by a few reports. This kind of media publicity has little impact on the box office.
After the North American trip, Jiang Heng led the group to fly to France, and then returned to China to prepare for the New Year.
The 2016 Spring Festival was on February 2th, and Jiang Heng and others arrived at the airport in the afternoon of the 8th.
Before getting off the plane, Yang Mi said that her family had prepared the New Year's Eve dinner and invited him to come over to eat together.
Jiang Heng thought about it for a moment and agreed.
Speaking of which, he was not unfamiliar with Yang Mi's parents.
As early as when they were filming "Inception", it was Yang's mother who took Yang Mi to the United States for a cameo appearance, so naturally they knew each other.
After having a sumptuous and lively New Year's Eve dinner, Jiang Heng went home.
Looking at the empty and deserted mansion, I couldn't help feeling lonely.
But it wasn't long before he started getting all kinds of phone calls, with a few asking where he was staying tonight and whether he wanted to go over and stay with him.
Jiang Heng thought about it and decided to just sleep for a night!
The next day, on New Year's Day, many people felt that the new year was over after breakfast.
In addition, it is now popular to greet each other over the phone or via WeChat, so some relatives who are not very close to each other don't visit each other much anymore. As a result, many audiences who feel they have nothing to do have flocked to the cinema to watch movies.
The 16 Spring Festival period is naturally filled with blockbusters. After all, the overall film market has continued to grow this year. Not to mention one blockbuster, even two or three blockbusters are likely to be hot sellers at the same time.
Therefore, other companies also began to release their heavily invested, star-studded blockbusters during the hottest period of the year, the Spring Festival.
However, the film that has the highest schedule, the highest pre-sale, and the highest popularity, and that the audience is most looking forward to is still Jiang Heng's special effects blockbuster.
When most audiences enter the cinema, their first reaction is to choose "The Jingwei Filling the Sea". Only when they cannot buy tickets for the day will they choose other movies.
Some movie fans will even watch several popular films in one day, and then tell the audience on self-media platforms which ones are worth the money and which ones are a complete rip-off.
Amid this wave of movie-watching enthusiasm, the box office performance of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has soared and tickets are hard to come by.
In many popular cities and popular theaters, most of the time, almost every show of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was full. Even the first row, which had a poor viewing experience, was not empty. Tickets were hard to come by.
The reason is, besides the film being so popular, also because the pre-sales are doing so well.
According to media reports, as of 2000 . on New Year's Eve, theaters across the country had already sold million New Year's Day movie tickets in advance.
It’s not easy to get a sneak peek on this day! (End of this chapter)
