Chapter 372 Next, a Mythical Blockbuster

Things are indeed going as the person in charge of Weibo said. Jiang Heng’s latest Weibo updates quickly topped the list of trending searches.

Many netizens left messages, expressing their continued support for Jiang Heng's works and hoping that he could stay in China and contribute to the development of Chinese-language films.

Many people also left messages on the news, asking what the next work will be.

Jiang Heng did not answer immediately because he had not thought about it, but it was most likely a fairy tale.

It’s not a love story like Nie Xiaoqian or The Legend of White Snake, which has slightly fewer characters and less complicated backgrounds.

Jiang Heng is planning to choose one of three themes this time: Journey to the West, Conferred Gods, and Prehistoric Times.

But to elaborate, there have been enough films on the theme of "Journey to the West". The super popular one is "Lion and Camel Ridge", the most visually stunning one is "Havoc in Heaven", and the love story is "The Kingdom of Women".

So Jiang Heng just thought about it for a moment and ruled out "Journey to the West".

In terms of "Feng Shen", Jiang Heng has only filmed one film, "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", which was a work he directed and acted.

In his original idea, he wanted to make personal movies for the popular characters in the story, such as Nezha and Lei Zhenzi, and write a book about the rise of the Zhou Dynasty and the destruction of the Shang Dynasty.

If you choose "Feng Shen", it's time to shoot Nezha!

To talk about the classic adaptations of Nezha, they are nothing more than the animated versions of "Nezha Haohai" and "The Devil Boy Comes to the World".

If it were to be adapted into a live-action version, a child would definitely have to play the role, and most likely it would be a girl as a guest star.

At this time, Song Zhuer, who had just played Nezha in "The Prequel to the Lotus Lantern", is more suitable.

If you choose a prehistoric theme, you will basically start with the "Lich War".

As for which one to come to, he didn't think much about it for a while.

However, it can still be revealed to the media. That night, Jiang Heng updated another Weibo post.

"I'll say the important thing three times. I won't go back to Hollywood, I won't go back to Hollywood, I won't go back to Hollywood. My next film will be a Chinese mythological story. The money is not available, the actors have not been decided, and there is no script yet!"

Jiang Heng originally used what Lu Ziqiao often said in "Love Apartment": "Currently there is not enough money, the actors have not yet decided on the script." Unexpectedly, many fans saw this and praised Jiang Heng and expressed their willingness to support him in filming.

Jiang Heng was shocked when he saw this and quickly turned off the appreciation function.

Just kidding, he is so rich that he doesn’t need anyone to reward him.

As for the appreciation function, it was just launched during the summer vacation and needs to be turned off actively.

Netizens saw that "rewarding" was a dead end, and many people expressed their willingness to perform small roles for free to support Jiang Heng's film career.

Jiang Heng couldn't help but laugh and cry. He was not short of money, so he really didn't need free supporting actors!

However, many actors in the industry joined in the fun and left messages on Jiang Heng's Weibo, expressing their willingness to star in Jiang Heng's new film for a very low salary.

There is also a relatively well-known movie queen who said that her biggest regret over the years is that she has never worked with director Jiang Heng. If there is an opportunity, she is willing to not receive payment for the film.

Jiang Heng thought about it after reading it and replied that he had always admired her acting skills and would consider cooperating with her if she got a suitable role.

Jing Tan, who was on the side, suddenly said: "You smile so happily!"

"Is there any?"

"That's right. Who is recommending himself for the pillow seat?"

Jiang Heng sneered, put down his phone and said, "Look what you said, even if someone does that, I'll still be fine!"

The young lady had a wicked smile on her face and her beautiful eyes were as crescent-shaped. She leaned forward and said softly, "Isn't it really a mess?"

"It's necessary. I'm not one of those old hooligans in the industry who can't control themselves. I'm an international director who has been famous for more than ten years. I've seen beauties all over the world. I'm a tough guy who thrives among flowers!"

Jing Tan was so happy that he collapsed on the sofa with laughter.

He muttered, "Iron-bone, tough guy!"

"Hey, you want to rebel!"

Jiang Heng stretched out his hand to scratch her itch, and the young lady hurriedly begged for mercy...

In the second half of the night, both of them were a little hungry, so they got up and went out to eat barbecue.

Jing Tian asked, have you decided what you want to shoot?

Jiang Heng shook his head, took a sip of beer and said, "Determine the story in the next few days, and then gather people to revise the script!"

The young lady said: "Don't be in such a hurry, I haven't had much rest recently!"

Jiang Heng said: "If we don't decide early, we may not be able to make it in time for next summer!"

"Oh, but you already have enough money. Spend what you can't spend!"

Jiang Heng hesitated for a few seconds and then said: "Actually, it's not that much. It's not enough to do something big!"

The young lady was curious, "What's the big deal?"

"For example, building a house, selling water, and building a car all cost a lot of money!"

"Selling water and building cars?"

The young lady had an expression like "I don't know much, please don't lie to me."

Jiang Heng laughed, "I'm just kidding you, but I definitely want to enter the Internet industry!"

"Now?"

"Of course not, we have to wait a few years!"

"Oh, is it going to cost a lot of money?"

"certainly!"

"Oh, even though I don't have much money, I can still get some to help you then!"

Jiang Heng smiled and couldn't help but rub Jing Tan's head and said, "Hey, how much has the little rich woman saved?"

"It's over 100 million anyway!"

It is said that Jing Tan's career has been developing very well in the past few years, and he has made a lot of money. Naturally, he has a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Jiang Heng couldn't help but praise: "Not bad, not bad. If one day I stop making movies, you can support me!"

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up a little scary when she heard this, "Okay, okay, I'll support you if you don't go to film one day!"

Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard this, but Da Tiantian stretched out her right pinky finger, "Pin it!"

"Okay, pinky!"

The next day, Jiang Heng went to iQiyi and Tencent Film Company, and Du Huan and Li Xiaoping came together, both of them looked like they hadn't rested well.

Jiang Heng, who was sitting in the boss chair, smiled, "What's wrong, what are you two doing?"

Du Huan couldn't help but yawn, "Director Jiang, have you forgotten how influential you are? These days, too many people have called me and asked me out for dinner.

Of course, I didn't answer most of them or turned down the dinner, but there were also many that I couldn't turn down!"

Li Xiaoping also complained, "They all called to ask if you would go to Hollywood, what movie you would make next, and if you could play the leading role without being paid!

Director Jiang, I think you can post a status and ask who is willing to pay to participate. I guess there will be a lot of people who sign up!"

Jiang Heng laughed. Although he knew that the two people's words were exaggerated to a large extent, who would not want to listen!

"Not that, not that!"

Li Xiaoping's personality was more direct, and she asked Jiang Heng what he planned to shoot.

"Now that I think about it, Nezha may be a prehistoric myth!"

Du Huan frowned slightly when he heard this, "For Nezha, we have to ask a child to be the lead actor, I'm afraid it's a bit difficult to choose!"

Li Xiaoping said: "There is a little actress in the circle, a girl, who played Nezha in last year's "The Legend of the Lotus Lantern" and her performance was well received!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly. If he was filming Nezha, he would also prefer to choose Song Zhuer.

And if he was filming prehistoric, he would start by determining the story!
