Chapter 415 Black Myth

From the perspective of film and television adaptation, the role of Yang Jian in "Black Myth: Wukong" may be easier to improve the popularity and status of the actor than Sun Wukong.

After all, Yang Jian shows his face, but after Sun Wukong puts on makeup, you can't tell who plays him!

Therefore, Jiang Heng considered the choice of Yang Jian more carefully.

At present, there are three options.

One is to play the role himself, after all, he played the young Yang Jian in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother".

However, the plot of "Black Myth: Wukong" takes place after the journey to the West, and the makeup of the young Yang Jian is definitely not good, and he needs to be more mature.

In addition, he is too busy to participate in the performance, so Jiang Heng rejected this option after a little thought.

Secondly, of course, it is to invite Jiao Xinjun, who is known as the most handsome Yang Jian in history.

Speaking of which, he has also worked with Jiao Xinjun before.

In the movie "Lion Camel Ridge", there are some scenes where Sun Wukong recalls the past and flashes by.

Jiao Xinjun's guest appearance as Yang Jian is one of them, and it only lasts for a few seconds.

Although it was a flash, Jiao Xinjun's handsomeness as Yang Jian still makes many fans unforgettable and highly praised.

If Jiao Xinjun is chosen, I believe many fans will be very meticulous.

In addition, it is to choose someone else or hold an open audition.

It's just that time is tight, and it's definitely too late to hold an open audition.

At this moment, it seems difficult to find another person in the entertainment industry who can replace Jiao Xinjun to play Yang Jian. You can't choose a super ugly person to play the role of the second master Yang Jian!

After thinking about it, Jiang Heng thought it was better to invite Jiao Xinjun!

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng called the casting director and asked him to contact Jiao Xinjun's agent, saying that he wanted to invite him to play the role of Yang Jian in the new film.

When the casting director was about to leave, Jiang Heng couldn't help but add that it was not a cameo, and the role was very important.

The casting director hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Director Jiang, he will agree!"

Of course Jiao Xinjun would agree, because it was Jiang Heng's film.

Although he was known as the male god of ancient costumes and was once popular in Asia, his achievements were all in the field of TV dramas.

Jiao Xinjun's achievements in movies are pitifully few.

It is definitely a rare opportunity to play Yang Jian in Jiang Heng's blockbuster.

So, after receiving the invitation, Jiao Xinjun and his agent agreed without saying a word, and came to iQiyi Films as quickly as possible to sign the contract and get the deposit.

In addition, Jiang Heng has successively decided on the actors of Huang Mei Da Wang, Kang Jinlong, Zi Zhu'er, Zhu Bajie and others, and the preparations for the film have been busy.

In mid-September, "Black Myth: Wukong" held a new film press conference and opening ceremony in Beijing.

The press conference was held in Beijing at the Shangri-La Hotel. Hundreds of well-known domestic media came. Everyone was curious about what this "black myth" meant. Are all the members blackened?

And many viewers are also looking forward to the follow-up works of the "Journey to the West" series, such as "The True and False Monkey King", which can definitely be filmed!

"Director Jiang, what is the meaning of your black myth?" a reporter asked.

"Because this is a film that is completely different from the traditional Journey to the West, it has the symbolic meaning of fate and rebellion..."

"Director Jiang, hello, I am a reporter from Xinlang Entertainment. You just mentioned fate and rebellion, which reminded me of a masterpiece of the Journey to the West, that is, the "Wukong Biography" that was once popular on the Internet. Director Chen Kaige wanted to shoot it at the time, but unfortunately it was shelved later.

I would like to ask Director Jiang, is your so-called "Black Myth: Wukong" adapted from "Wukong Biography"? Have you been inspired by the other party?"

Jiang Heng smiled and shook his head, "My work has nothing to do with "Wukong Biography", and I haven't read the novel!"

The reporter from Xinlang Entertainment looked very surprised, "You said you haven't read "Wukong Biography", is this true?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "I have so many companies under my name, and I have to make movies one after another, I really don't have time to watch those literary works!"

"That's really a pity!" The reporter from Xinlang Entertainment said regretfully.

Jiang Heng's fame and status were there, so the reporters did not dare to ask too outrageous questions, but only asked questions that might cause controversy and attract more attention.

After the event, Jiang Heng led the crew to the China Film Digital Base, set up the incense table, offered tributes, and the opening ceremony ended after a worship.

Because it was already afternoon after the work was done, and many actors took a long time to put on makeup, Jiang Heng directly gave the crew half a day off and continued filming the next day.

After hearing this, the people in the crew happily dispersed.

Jiang Heng kept some of the backbones behind the crew and explained some details, such as the placement of props, where to put various equipment and equipment, etc.

Jiang Heng remembered everything clearly, and what he said was always the most appropriate, which made everyone admire him.

The two brothers Yuan De and Yuan Hua admired Jiang Heng very much.

It can be said that the two have cooperated with Jiang Heng for more than ten years. It can be said that the longer they cooperate, the more they think Jiang Heng is amazing, and he is the kind of person who can replace a team.

In fact, many good film and television dramas are not only the credit of the director, but also the efforts of the screenwriter, art designer, photographer, props and others.

Some directors' early works are wonderful, not only because of their talent, but also because they had a group of very excellent partners at the time.

Later, his career declined and he couldn't shoot anything well. To a large extent, the team that once "fought side by side" was gone.

And Jiang Heng's strength is that he seems to have a... uh, it should be many classic works in his mind, and he often does most of the work of the team by himself.

It can be said that the closer you are to Jiang Heng, the more people you come into contact with, the more you admire him.

This is the case with Da Tiantian. She has been working as an assistant to Jiang Heng for some time. She can't think of anyone more talented than Jiang Heng! Her eyes are full of stars!

"Brother gave everyone a holiday, but he was busy with work?"

After everyone left, Jing Tian stepped forward and said with a smile.

Jiang Heng said, "It doesn't matter if we all rest well today and everyone gets busy tomorrow, maybe we will be more efficient!"

Jing Tian nodded, "That makes sense!"

The two then left the China Film Digital Base and strolled around Huairou City.

In the evening, they had Da Tiantian's favorite hot pot and went back to their own home to rest.

Of course, this so-called home is just a large flat-floor luxury house that Jiang Heng bought here.

Anyway, he will stay here for at least half a year a year, so it is more convenient to get a luxury house to live in.

The next day, Jiang Heng got up and exercised for a while, then went downstairs to buy breakfast. When he came back, he found that Da Tiantian was still sleeping soundly!

Jiang Heng came to the bed, looked at the beauty in her dream, and muttered: "You said you would be my assistant, but I am the only one serving you!"

"Well, what are you talking about?"

Da Tiantian asked with her eyes closed without opening her eyes.

Jiang Heng smiled: "Are you awake?"

"No!"

"Can you talk if you are not awake?"

"Dream talk!"

"Get up if you wake up, we still have to shoot a movie later!"

"Oh, can you not go to shoot?"

"If you don't shoot, will you support me?"

"I will support you!"

Da Tiantian suddenly sat up with a sly smile on her face.
