The short film was only about fifteen minutes, but it made Zhang Heng feel heavy, raised his head, saw Zhao Siming who had returned to the conference room, and asked, "Is there news?" ”

Zhao Siming nodded excitedly: "Song Xiaoke was very surprised and happy when he heard that it was your decision, he agreed without saying a word, and said that in the past two days, after dealing with the work at hand, he will come to you." ”

"Here's his contact number!"

Zhao Siming took out a white note and handed it to Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng took it, thinking about Song Xiaoke's experience in the past two years narrated in the film, he couldn't help but feel emotional.

Song Xiaoke, Bai Ye, Wang Weiran and Zhang Heng have been assigned dormitories since the first day of college, and they have a similar temperament and become very good friends. And because they have a common dream of directing, after discussion, the four of them jointly filmed "Flowers on the Tree", but unexpectedly suffered a fiasco.

After that, in order to avoid debts, the four of them took a leave of absence from school and scattered.

Now Zhang Heng has become famous and has repaid the debts of the year alone, but the other three have disappeared for a long time after separation.

Now that he heard the traces of people for the first time, he couldn't help but feel that time passed too quickly.

It's like quicksand between your fingers, and you can't hold on to it.

In a blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Zhang Heng's mind flashed the pictures before and after rebirth, and he was speechless.

At this moment, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and the assistant arranged by the "King of Short Films" program team to Zhang Heng came to inform Zhang Heng that the program was going to be recorded and asked Zhang Heng to move.

Zhang Heng nodded, said goodbye to Zhao Siming, and got up to leave.

This episode of the program is to choose the top ten director's works of the "King of Short Films", Zhang Heng is not optimistic about the remaining fifteen contestants, and those who can enter Zhang Heng's vision are basically Zhang Heng pressed the red light and contacted him in private.

Most of the successful ones are now negotiating contract matters, and the remaining top 15 also have strong players, but some of the works are too observant, and they are talents not geeks.

Zhang Heng treats others with himself and feels that success requires "deviance".

There are many talents in this world, and strange talents are rare, and Zhang Heng is very eager to see those unique works appear.

……

At the same time, "People in Jianghu" was officially offline after a six-week, 45-day release period amid the public's exclamation and media coverage.

In China, usually, the release period of the movie is two weeks, and the scheduling rate is basically non-existent.

Only particularly good works, as well as films with very high box offices, will extend the time and increase the number of cinema screening rooms.

"People in Jianghu" was able to be released at the same time as the 1200 first-tier and second-tier theaters in the country in the early stage of its release, which is inseparable from the help of the distributor Yinggu Film and Television Group.

And "People in the Rivers and Lakes" also lived up to expectations, with a box office of 100 million in the first week, and in the following time, the box office has been high among the films of the same period, which has prevented major theaters from deleting films.

Subsequently, the famous film magazine "Popular Film" separately made statistics on the relevant box office of "People in the Rivers and Lakes".

"People in the Rivers and Lakes" final box office 4. RMB 1.3 billion......

Even statisticians can't help but widen their eyes in disbelief when they see this final number.

On this day, the box office numbers were released.

The fans went completely crazy after being stunned!!

Heng Shao's fans were even more in tears.

knows that Heng Shao is a dick, but Nima, the first movie, exceeded 400 million!!

This is definitely the first miracle of 2001, and it can go down in the history of the Chinese box office!!

You must know that the masterpiece "Titanic", which has a large number of fans around the world and has been maintained in China for three years, has only 3 revenue from the total box office in China. Less than 600 million!!

For a while, countless red-eyed media began to run to the door of the Xindong Building to block it, and countless employees of various companies in the Xindong Building looked at the black pressure like a dark cloud of media reporters in surprise.

Chu Xiaojie and other building security guards showed their chivalry at this moment, fearless of microphone attacks, even if they were knocked countless times by unscrupulous reporters' microphones, even if they almost ate the microphone, they did not take half a step back, and actively forged ahead in front of the building, indiscriminately blocking these reporters.

The reporters became more and more resentful, and they almost spat in the faces of the security guards and threw slippers!!

The employees of Nirvana Film and Television Co., Ltd., after being solemnly warned by the public relations department, are all frightened in the company, and will not leave the company unless they have to.

Even for lunch, it is rare that they do not run outside the company, but gather in the company cafeteria honestly, waiting for the media to leave with excitement and apprehension.

This scene was tracked and reported by "Yanhai News" that night, which aroused strong condemnation from many viewers.

"Zhang Heng is too hidden, how hard it is for reporters on hot days, even if a shrimp soldier and crab will be sent to send reporters away! It's so unethical! ”

Zhang Heng led the company staff to burst into tears!!

Subsequently, the news that the box office of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" broke 400 million spread all over the world at an unstoppable speed.

The Chicago Daily News immediately expressed its opinion: "On the other side of the ocean, China is staging a movie box office miracle, our "Titanic" once occupied the record of China's box office champion for three full years with a box office of 45 million US dollars, and today, a small production called "People in the Jianghu" has broken through the barrier with a box office of 50 million US dollars and re-refreshed the box office record! Is this the rise of the Chinese movie box office? We are very happy that the film market in China has begun to grow gradually, and we look forward to the director of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" breaking the record again! ”

"New York Movie": "The directorial technique of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" is very advanced and innovative, and the plot is also very enthusiastic, which has caused a wave of imitation. ”

"California Business Daily": "From being in debt to breaking the box office of a single work of 50 million US dollars, during this period, from an Internet singer to a well-known screenwriter, from a college student with nothing to a company boss with a market value of more than 100 million US dollars, this young man from China has written a legend in less than two years!" ”

In China, while quoting well-known American newspaper reports, many media have also drafted content, conforming to public opinion, and shouting praise for Zhang Heng's sky-defying box office results!

"I still remember the scene before the filming of "People in the Rivers and Lakes" started, it was revealed that the gambling contract between director Mu Qinian, and the casino even opened a loss ratio of 1:12, and then, in the face of ridicule from the outside world, Zhang Heng was silent, and played the most brilliant punch in silence, completely fighting back against the crowd who looked down on him at the beginning!"

The headline of Yanhai Entertainment News took "The Most Thorough Counterattack" as the theme, exposing the slander suffered by "People in Jianghu" during the filming process: "In foreign countries, Zhang Heng is known as a phenomenal director, and in China, the high box office results that surpass "Titanic" are even more eye-catching, although the story content is set as a restricted film, but there is no doubt that fans who love movies in China all know Chen Haonan, they all know the pheasant, and they all know what love and righteousness are, this is the charm of the old boy!! ”

Netart Entertainment News: "This is the most brilliant counterattack, commercialized society, Zhang Heng's works may not be the highest in terms of spiritual value, but practice has proved that in terms of commercial value, he is the top!" During the release, beating "Tomb Raider" and "Shaolin Football", Zhang Heng's first work in the true sense surpassed the works of all directors in the same period and achieved a comprehensive start! ”

Jinghua Daily: "After "People in the Rivers and Lakes", countless directors have followed the works of Crazy Boy, Zhang Heng won the "Godfather of Miniseries" after "Never Expected", or he will be awarded the title of "Father of Crazy Boy"!

In mid-June 2001, countless entertainment headlines were based on the high box office of "People in Jianghu", and a series of reports began to bombard people's vision.

People's impression of Zhang Heng is no longer limited to titles such as miniseries and online singers, and since then, Zhang Heng has successfully stood in the ranks of well-known film directors.

With the release of the big movie "People in Jianghu", a week later, in the congratulations of gongs and drums, the online version of "People in Jianghu" also began to be released on Yiku Video Network for a month-long VIP network paid release.
