Chapter 329 Guest Appearance in "The Founding of a Republic"
"Don't I have any other choice?"
"All other roles have been decided, and I really can't give you any!"
"It's okay to have a smaller role, such as a CPPCC member, a photojournalist, etc!"
Han Sanping was speechless, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You are not busy now, right?"
"Yes, a little bit. Since you invite me so sincerely, I will choose Jiang Jingguo!"
Han Sanping was very happy to hear this, because Jiang Jingguo has more roles than Kong Lingkan.
He naturally hopes that Jiang Heng can perform better, such as the rivalry between him and Du Yuesheng played by Feng Xiaogang, which can be cut into the trailer.
"Okay, it's settled. I'll ask someone to send you the script later, and I'll send you the filming notice in advance!"
After hanging up the phone, Jing Tian asked curiously, "Brother is going to play Chiang Ching-kuo?"
"Yeah!"
"That must be the most handsome Chiang Ching-kuo in history!"
Jiang Heng laughed, "Is your only concern whether he is handsome or not?"
Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at Jiang Heng, "Except for being a little handsome, there is nothing to say about you!"
"Hey, I think you deserve to be punished!"
After saying that, she picked him up, and Da Tiantian looked "pale" and screamed...
The next day, everyone joined the crew, and "White Snake: Origin" officially started filming.
At the same time, major entertainment media reported the news that Jiang Heng's new film "White Snake: Origin" had started filming.
Some of them started from the selling point of 3D special effects, saying that Director Jiang Heng would create another fantastic and magnificent mythological blockbuster, bringing super shocking visual effects to the country.
However, the more popular entertainment media wrote about the fact that both Jieli Films and iQiyi Films were shooting the "Legend of the White Snake", saying that Jieli Films was a bold and arrogant challenger who dared to shoot the same theme as Director Jiang Heng and release it in a similar schedule. When the box office results come out, they will not be as happy as they were at the new film press conference.
Yang Zhi, Huang Shengyi and others were naturally furious when they saw such news.
But a group of media people analyzed it very well and wrote it with reason and evidence.
If they were not one of the parties involved, to be honest, they would have believed such reports without thinking.
But at this moment, they were fighting for their dignity and vowed to make the film eye-catching.
The progress of the film was rushed again and again.
In the blink of an eye, it was mid-March, and Jiang Heng had to go to the Chedun Film and Television Base in Shanghai to guest-star in the "Founding of a Nation".
He was away for a few days, and the deputy director Yuan De led the crew to shoot some less important scenes.
Jiang Heng and Feng Xiaogang, who played Du Yuesheng, set off from Beijing and arrived in Shanghai by plane.
"I really envy Chairman Han!!" Feng Xiaogang said with a smile on the plane.
Jiang Heng glanced at him and said nothing.
Feng Xiaogang continued: "It would bring a lot of box office if a director of your fame and status could make a cameo appearance, and there are so many scenes!"
Jiang Heng laughed, "It's not as exaggerated as you said!"
"You are being modest. If I could invite you to make a cameo appearance in my film, the box office would at least double!"
"Not that, not that!" Jiang Heng smiled and waved his hand.
Director Feng smiled and said: "How about you try to make a cameo appearance in "Aftershock"? "
Jiang Heng restrained his smile and pondered what Feng Xiaogang said.
"Aftershock" was jointly produced by Huayi and China Film. Needless to say, China Film was his old friend.
Huayi Company and Chairman Wang's relationship was not good, but not bad either.
When there was no direct competition for schedules, the two bosses Wang were very warm and polite to him.
Although sometimes what they said was a little false, at least it was acceptable on the surface.
As for Director Feng Xiaogang, he has been even more enthusiastic about him in recent years. Although he did not praise Wang Shuo as much as "looking up and seeing the North Star", it was not much different.
Jiang Heng asked Feng Xiaogang for help with something, and he agreed without hesitation.
Thinking about it this way, it was hard to refuse.
"When will your film start shooting?"
Feng Xiaogang was excited when he heard this, "In May, it will probably take four or five months to shoot. When you are free, the crew will fully cooperate!"
Jiang Heng was not easy to refuse when he heard this, and said, "Okay, after you start shooting, I will see when I am free!"
Feng Xiaogang laughed, and his joy was beyond words.
After getting off the plane, the crew of "The Founding of a Republic" came to pick him up. Jiang Heng and Feng Xiaogang were both in a hurry, so they went straight to the crew, put on makeup, and started shooting.
Feng Xiaogang's acting skills are beyond words. In history, he played Du Yuesheng in one take, and he was very arrogant both in and out of the play.
His first scene was sitting on a rickshaw, followed by a group of younger brothers, walking on "Nanjing Road" in a cool way.
Feng Xiaogang was wearing a hat, round old-fashioned sunglasses on his nose, and carrying a civilized stick.
His rickshaw was also made of gold. Behind the rickshaw, there were more than 20 black-clad bodyguards, full of style, which inevitably reminded people of the boss of the Crocodile Gang in "Kung Fu".
The second scene was the scene where Du Yuesheng met Jiang Jingguo.
Jiang Heng was dressed in a handsome Zhongshan suit, with a big back hair, and spoke long lines fluently.
Then the reporter asked, Jiang Heng answered: "This time, Jingguo came to fight tigers, not flies!"
"Tigers are easy to fight, but I'm afraid Mr. Jiang can't move the iceberg, right?"
Jiang Heng played Jiang Jingguo, who suddenly looked back and looked at Du Yuesheng who suddenly arrived with a walking stick.
Immediately he stood up and walked to the huge blue sky, white sun and red ground.
"Who is this gentleman?"
"Hengshe, Du Yuesheng!"
...
Jiang Heng's acting skills are recognized as good in the circle. The scene with Feng Xiaogang was only filmed twice, and it was because of someone else's mistake.
Then he rushed to the next shooting site to shoot the scene between Jiang Jingguo and Kong Lingkan, Song Meiling and others.
The next day he went to Nanjing and filmed the dialogue between Jiang's father and son with Zhang Guoli, and then rushed back to Beijing to continue filming "White Snake Origin".
That day, Yu Dong suddenly came to the crew and said that the Film Bureau contacted him and wanted to negotiate the release of the 3D version of "Lion Camel Ridge".
Jiang Heng wondered, "What's there to talk about?"
Yu Dong said, "What the leaders mean is that your films are basically shown during the summer vacation and New Year's Day in China, and no one dares to compete. The rest of the domestic films are basically squeezed into the three periods of May Day, National Day and Spring Festival.
When the film "Lion Camel Ridge" was released that year, it had a very good reputation and high box office. I believe that after the 3D version is re-screened, the box office should also be good.
So some producers and directors jointly petitioned the Film Bureau, hoping that they can help coordinate and not let "Lion Camel Ridge" be re-screened during the May Day period!"
Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard this, and then laughed and said, "If you say so, then change the time. The main reason is that I think "Lion Camel Ridge" has been released, and the 3D version will not have too high box office, so I didn't think too much about it!"
Yu Dong laughed, "But others are afraid!"
