China Entertainment 2000.

Chapter 280 The number one idol—Jiang Liu

"Orangutan" completed all filming schedules before the 2006 Lunar New Year season.

The film was released from August 8 to mid-December and was screened in the mainland for more than four months, with a total box office of 5 million yuan.

It became the first domestic film in China to have a box office of over 2 million yuan.

It has set one box office record after another in the history of domestic films.

What makes the Chinese people regretful is that the movie still has not broken the Chinese box office record of 3.6 million yuan set by "Titanic".

According to the director's remuneration contract signed between nine companies and Jiang Liu, Jiang Liu earned himself a remuneration of 800 million yuan with a fixed remuneration of 2 million yuan, plus a 1280% box office share from the mainland.

At the dinner table at Jiangzhai in the evening, Li Xun rolled up the cuffs of his red sweater and complained helplessly: "I don't eat or drink. I have worked hard for decades to earn a small salary of 80 yuan."

"You're saying this as if I don't have a hard time filming on the crew?" Jiang Liu teased.

Li Xun couldn't help but rolled his eyes, and Li Qin took over the conversation and said: "Liu'er, mom wants to go back to her hometown. Your dad has never cooked many times in his life. He takes care of Tingting at home. I don't know how he can take care of her."

Workaholic Li Xing goes to work every day.

I have made a lot of money in the past two years. At least I spent 1.8 million to give a living pension to the elders in the same village, so as to leave a good impression on them.

He hadn't been back for a few years and wanted to go back and take a look.

At the cusp of the storm, Jiang Liu will not be able to stay at home with peace of mind when he returns.

Jiang Liu himself had better not go back.

Xing Aina's PR failed on the Forbes wealth list. In the 2005 China Fortune List released by Forbes last month, Jiang Liu made the list again with his many companies, overseas assets, shares, and personal income.

Good-faith living expenses can be paid by Jiang Shengli.

Even Li Qin was shocked when she heard that her son was buying a private jet, and she thought about taking revenge.

"I have long said that it would be easy to move to the capital. Tingting will be able to go to college in the future, and it will be easy for her to go to college."

Seeing Li Qin nodding frequently, with eyes full of prayer, Jiang Liu, who always respects people, said quickly:

However, he walked to the front yard with his bag and was stopped by Li Qin.

Li Yanshen took it seriously and said: "There are indeed too many cars in the capital. When I came here in 2000, I could drive at least fifty or sixty yards on Chang'an Avenue. Now it is difficult to drive thirty yards."

Jiang Liu packed his luggage and prepared to send Li Qin back to his hometown.

The next day.

"Mom, you can come and go at any time. You don't have to worry about this. I will buy a private jet in two years, so it will be more convenient for you to come and go."

Jiang Liu has done too many shocking things in recent years, and just now the couple were talking about a salary of more than 1000 million.

"Your dad can't stand it, and I can't get used to it either. The air in the capital is not as good as in my hometown. The roads are full of cars. It makes me nervous to look forward and backward while walking. I can't see the sun very often in broad daylight."

And the ranking successfully entered the top ten, ranking tenth. Forbes calculated Jiang Liu's assets to be 64 billion yuan, which was almost double that of 2004.

One day, I don't want to be recognized by the people of the country as a conscientious entrepreneur, and I don't want to be scorned by my hometown elders. I am unexpectedly depressed, and I still have a hot meal in my hometown.

The end result of returning to my hometown is socializing and attending meetings every day, so it would be better not to return.

Jiang Liu had no choice but to send Li Qin to the airport, and then arranged for someone to take her back to Jiangdu at Nanjing Lukou Airport.

The child was taken care of by a confinement nanny. Jiang Liu left the airport and was not in a hurry to go home, but turned to the company.

Yixin employees have had another busy year this year.

In addition to the TV drama department, variety show department, and advertising department, which are as busy as ever, Yixin's film department and special effects department are also suddenly working hard this year.

"Apes", "Kung Fu Panda", "Pirates 2", "Crazy Stone", "Painted Skin", and the "Red Cliff" project that was abandoned in the first two quarters involved a lot of energy.

The first person to complain to Jiang Liu was Hou Xiaobao.

The special effects department originally had no big business in 05.

The popular costume fantasy dramas in the past few years have many special effects, require large investments, and are difficult to recoup. No matter how limited the costumes are, many film and television companies have begun to shy away from costume dramas.

The price of costume dramas is high, and the ratings may not be good. TV stations would rather introduce Korean dramas, Thai dramas, and Taiwanese idol dramas.

Under this situation, domestic film and television companies can only change the track to create low-cost life ethics dramas and love dramas.

"Family with Children 2" is one of Yixin's fine dramas.

This kind of film and television drama market is very unfriendly to Yixin's special effects department.

In order to prevent the company's special effects department from slacking off, Jiang Liu gave Hou Xiaobao a copy of the "Kung Fu Panda" script as if it were a training exercise.

He had just finished the script, and Tsui Hark said that "Pirates 2" needed special effects.

Before finishing the special effects of "Pirates 2", Emperor handed over the special effects work of "The Monkey King" to Yi Xin. With several projects to do at once, the special effects department was extremely busy.

After all, the special effects department also manages China's first short video website, Yixin Video, which was launched at the beginning of the year.

After being severely complained by Hou Xiaobao, Jiang Liu stepped into the special effects department and gave a thumbs up to the modelers of "Kung Fu Panda".

"The modeling is well done and lifelike. It's worth the money I spent on your department."

Hou Xiaobao looked embarrassed: "We outsourced the character modeling to the art team of Shanghai Film Studio."

Jiang Liu looked Hou Xiaobao up and down for a moment, and couldn't help but said rudely: "Zhuang, why are you complaining all the way? What achievements has your department made this year? Don't tell me about the video website, that thing wants to Profits are coming early.”

"Yes, yes. Yes!"

Seeing Jiang Liu's anger, Hou Xiaobao became a little panicked. He took Jiang Liu into a room and held out a box like a treasure.

"The helmet, fingers, body and other equipment suitable for the motion capture system have been made. Weta's earliest motion capture system software has also been rewritten by programmers and became the company's exclusive software."

Jiang Liu asked curiously: "What's the effect like on the screen?"

"We can recreate Gollum from The Lord of the Rings."

"The Lord of the Rings was first filmed in 98 or 99, which means that the development of Yixin's motion capture technology is at least 8 years slower than that of Weta. The technical gap is at least 10 years or more."

Jiang Liu finished speaking in a deep voice, feeling that it had been more than 10 years.

In 2009, "Avatar" was released globally, and its film technology shocked a generation of filmmakers around the world.

In 2006, James Cameron, the truck driver, was probably already preparing to film "Avatar".

If you think about it this way, the gap between Yixin and Hollywood, and China and Eagle Sauce in the film and television industry is more than ten years.

The reason why he is sure that there is a technical gap of more than ten years is because Yixin's visual effects team is already a group of top visual effects technicians in China.

A technology gap of more than 10 years is daunting enough.

As the founder of Yixin Company, Jiang Liu needed to stand in the company's interests and calmly consider whether it was worth injecting a large amount of funds into the visual effects department.

"Almost, at least more than ten years."

"I originally thought that I would wait a few more years and rely on Yixin's own visual effects team to easily produce "Apes 2". Now it seems that I have to wait for ten years. Let's work on it first and see how "Kung Fu Panda" is made. How about coming out?"

"If you succeed, everything will be easy to say."

Jiang Liu was a little disinterested.

Hou Xiaobao made me feel unhappy for a few days. I stayed at home and played with my children, and my mood improved. "The Promise" and "Pirates 2" were released on the Mainland Chinese New Year schedule.

"Pirates 2" actually has nothing to do with Jiang Liu. He is neither the director nor the star of "Pirates 2".

If you force the relationship, at most he is a producer in the movie, and Yi Xin is the producer and producer of "Pirates 2".

But Chen Kaige was stubborn and decided that he was causing trouble.

Every time he went to a city for roadshow promotion, Jiang Liu would always be ridiculed sarcastically.

The author of "A Murder Caused by a Steamed Bun" was also surprised that he uploaded a short video he made on Yixin Video.

What's even more amazing is that Yixin does have an artist named Hu Ge, who has the exact same pronunciation as the video author's name.

The whole thing has been speculated and speculated by netizens, and it has turned into a well-designed and targeted industry competition.

Ji Nan came to Jiang's house to explain the whole story, which made Jiang Liu dumbfounded.

His situation truly reflects that if people sit at home, disaster will come from heaven.

What do you mean by yellow mud falling into your crotch - it's not shit but shit!
After a wry smile, Jiang Liu slowly stood up and said to Ji Nan, Yixin's public relations manager and the publicity manager of "Pirates 2": "If someone doesn't want me to be idle, then I'll go out for a walk."

Before Jiang Liu finished speaking, Ji Nan was so excited that he almost jumped three feet high.

Do you know who ranked first in China on the Forbes Celebrity List in 2005?

Jiang Liu has been hiding at home since returning home and does not want to show his face.

In the past 2005, Jiang Liu surpassed Yao Ming, Fang Long, Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li and many other past Chinese international superstars to reach the top of the China Forbes celebrity list.

This year, as a Chinese director, he filmed a Chinese film "Planet of the Apes: Trapped Beasts Still Fight".

"Planet of the Apes" broke the dimensional wall and landed in nearly 1.7 countries and regions around the world, earning a box office of US$ million in the world's largest North American film market.

Ranked in the North American film market, ranking 2005th at the box office in 11.
