Chapter 274 Mythology Premiere

"Jiang Feng, this time I came here just a simple interview to discuss your success and also to consult your views on the future economic development of China." Hurun took out his notebook and pen.

This is his habit, and this is different from what he and reporters do. Usually, reporters will take out a recorder when interviewing, but it is often difficult for the interviewee to say what they think.

This is a taboo for Hurun. Hurun is eager to get the most authentic and reliable news. Therefore, only by using a pen to record it can the interviewee be relieved and there is no need to worry about the content of the conversation being leaked.

After all, even if Hu Run really leaked the sensitive topics of the conversation, the interviewee would just refuse to admit it. If there was a recorder and the conversation was recorded, it would be really hard to tell.

"Jiang Feng, my first question..." Hu Run started his interview after putting his notebook in place.

Hu Run was expectant and nervous about the interview with this trip.

In 1999, when Hurun produced the first "China Rich List", he did not meet a rich man on the list. He relied on collecting various financial newspapers and magazines in mainland China, as well as various financial news, and listed company statements and other information, and released the first "China Rich List" for half a year.

The next year, in 2000, after the media reprinted Forbes' "Rich List of Mainland China", Hurun was already well-known in mainland China. He produced the "Rich List of Mainland China" for the second time and was able to meet many rich people on the list.

But last year, with the launch of Forbes' Chinese version, everything changed after its "China Rich List" suddenly appeared between the media and the rich in front of 1.3 billion Chinese people.

When we met these rich people before, we could talk about the parties we met, and many people even provided him with some confidential financial statements, which helped him a lot. But since Forbes launched the Chinese version, the "China Rich List" suddenly appeared in front of 1.3 billion Chinese people, making these rich people unable to adapt for a while.

People are afraid of being famous, and pigs are afraid of being strong. Many wealthy people on the list called Hurun, and his "China Rich List" caused them annoyance. They either came to ask for donations or sponsorships or questioned their source of wealth. Many wealthy people even revealed that they hoped that Hurun would remove their names from China Rich List.

Hu Run was helpless about this. However, he still compiled the "China Rich List" based on his own logic. However, now when he met these rich people, it is difficult to obtain the most accurate information as before. It seems that he has returned to 1999 and used the annual reports published by magazines and companies to calculate.

Fortunately, now we are entering the Internet era and the era of information explosion, it is much more convenient to query a lot of information.

When I met Jiang Feng this time, Hu Run hoped that this recent influential figure in mainland China could give me some real data. When I was successful at a young age, I should always be a young and frivolous person.

"Jiang Feng, I will first declare that I am not a reporter, and the content involved in the conversation between us will inevitably leak out." Hu Run first emphasized his position.

Jiang Feng nodded.

"Okay, I'll ask the first question, Jiang Feng, are you afraid of being on the list? Unlike other Western countries, many wealthy people in mainland China are not willing to be on the list now." Hu Run asked.

Jiang Feng smiled and said, "Rupert, if you asked me three months ago, my answer would definitely be no. But now Forbes has exposed me, what else do I have to worry about?"

"Haha, Mr. Jiang, I have investigated you carefully. It took you about 30 months to go from an ordinary poor middle school student in a farmhouse to a super rich man with a net worth of more than 15 billion US dollars. What is your secret to success?" Hu Run asked curiously. This is also the reason why he has been studying Jiang Feng.

"The secret to success?" Jiang Feng thought for a while and said in his heart that if you were reborn, you might be able to be so successful.

However, no one believed the rebirth.

"If I have to tell my secret of success, I can only use one idiom to describe it - whimsical." Jiang Feng said half-seriously and half-jokingly.

"Thinking about it?" Hu Run was stunned, thinking about these four words.

"Not bad, I'm not afraid of not being able to do it, I'm afraid of not thinking about it." Jiang Feng said affirmatively, "I think of Rupert, you already know that my funds come from the financial market. Working in the financial market is a kind of adventure and a kind of gambling. If you don't dare to think about it, you will definitely be swallowed by others without any bones."

"Indeed, the financial market is the most difficult to grasp." Hu Run said, and then asked, "What is the reason that makes you invest in such a high-risk field? What is your initial goal?"

"Rupert, you must also know that more than two years ago, my family was a truly poor farmer. I didn't want to continue living this kind of life, and I hope to change. However, at that time, my goal was just to live a good life, and not work hard all year round in the land with my face facing the loess and backs to the sky; then I could own a penthouse garden apartment that belonged entirely to me, and have a girl who loved me, and live a simple life." Jiang Feng said.

"Then Jiang Feng, your original goal has been achieved long ago, what about your current goal?" Hu Run asked with a smile.

"Current goal? At this stage, my goal is to build the 'Jiang Group' into a world-renowned comprehensive group, and then based on this, plus my Jiang Investment Fund, to form a consortium belonging to me." After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Feng still said what he most longed for now.

Hu Run nodded, and this answer was already very satisfied with him. After asking some questions about Jiangfeng Company and future goals, he announced that today's interview was over.

Just as the interview was over and Jiang Feng was planning to return to Jiangzhou, Chen Xiaowei called Jiang Feng and said that the post-production of "Myth" had been completed and was about to hold the premiere in Beijing.

"It's great now, so there's no need to rush back to Jiangzhou." Jiang Feng said with a wry smile.

After all, "Myth" is the first movie of his company, and has invested a lot of money and invited many big-name stars to participate in the performance. This premiere must be more powerful. It seems that I am still staying here to build up a relationship and strengthen my momentum.

Generally speaking, the movie premiere is a content of movie promotion. In the premiere, the main actors of the movie will usually attend and interact with the audience. During this period, media reporters can interview celebrities up close. After the ceremony, the movie will usually be played, but this does not mean that the movie will be released globally. After all, there are a few who can see the movie at the premiere, and often need to have relevant talents to get the admission ticket.

The result of Jiang Feng's discussion with Ye Lanqiu and Chen Xiaowei was that the premiere invited about 500 guests. In addition to some celebrities in the industry, journalists from major media, leaders from the Propaganda Department and Radio and Television Bureau. Finally, they also sent invitation letters to leaders who had a good relationship with him, as well as some representatives from the military.

"Is it not appropriate to ask the military leader? What name should I use?" Chen Xiaowei was still a little uncomfortable with this.

"This is simple. It's just that the shooting work has been strongly supported by the military. Anyway, they usually participate in large-scale films. We also use some resident soldiers to help us? In these matters, we cannot be independent, we must be in a group, you must learn to adapt to the domestic environment." Jiang Feng replied.

The so-called garrison officers and soldiers assist in filming is not very necessary sometimes. Although the big-headed soldiers only need to provide food and accommodation, it still requires a certain amount of relationship and money to settle the officials above. Therefore, crews with less strength generally do not do this, so it is better to ask extras to make up the numbers. If it is not really necessary to emphasize discipline and professionalism, this process will be saved.

Of course, if it is a main theme movie invested by the official, such as a decisive battle, it means that the troops must participate, and many troops must participate, which is more powerful.

In short, Jiang Feng attaches great importance to this premiere, so after a few days in Beijing, the premiere of "Myth" was finally held in a five-star hotel in Beijing on September 12th.

In fact, at the end of last year, "Heroes" directed by Zhang Yimou held its premiere. This martial arts blockbuster starring Jet Li, Maggie Cheung, Tony Leung, Chen Daoming, Donnie Yen, Zhang Ziyi and others. The theme song singer was Faye Wong. It was the most invested Chinese film that year. The box office in mainland China reached 250 million yuan, accounting for one quarter of the total box office of the year. It was commented as one of Zhang Yimou's excellent works in the movies and won a series of awards internationally and domestically.

Moreover, Jiang Feng, who has memories of his previous life, knew that after "Heroes" went abroad next year, he also achieved great success abroad.

It was released in North America in August 2004 for two consecutive weeks, and also topped the box office in Japan, South Korea and other places, with a global box office of US$177 million. It was named the top ten best films in the world in 2004 by Time magazine, and was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film of the American Academy Awards and the Golden Globe Awards in the United States.

"Hero" is considered a milestone in the era of Chinese film blockbusters, opening the curtain of Chinese commercial blockbusters and playing an important role in promoting the development of China's film industry.
