Chapter 454 Return
At the end of August, Jiang Heng took a flight back to China.
Because he had to keep his schedule secret, he and Liu Yifei left separately. The latter went to Shanghai first to participate in a movie promotion event.
Jiang Heng flew directly to the capital, returned to his mansion, and rested for another day before going to the company.
A group company meeting was held in the morning and the company listened to the recent development status of many subsidiaries.
In the afternoon, I had time to chat with the bosses of each subsidiary.
The first one on the list is Yu Dong, because Jiang Heng's work arrangements for the next period of time are all related to him.
The first one is the celebration banquet for "Black Myth: Wukong". Because Yu Dong is fully responsible for it, he still needs to discuss some details with Jiang Heng.
The second is the sequel to "The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Demon Cult Leader". According to the previous agreement, it will be produced by Bona Pictures and directed by Wang Jing. It will be shot soon.
But after Yu Dong entered the room, the first thing he said was "Macau Storm".
"Director Jiang, your popularity in China is unbelievable! I didn't go to the premiere, but even the blessing video excited the fans!"
It turned out that at the premiere of "Macau" at the end of July, Jiang Heng was still on vacation overseas and did not want to go all the way, so he recorded a blessing video and released it before the ceremony. He actually received a round of applause. It can be said that fans are always more tolerant towards idols.
The movie "Macau" has also been recognized by the audience because of Jiang Heng's joining and investment, as well as its quality upgrade.
It has already achieved a box office of more than 800 million since its release. It is estimated that it will not be a big problem if it exceeds 900 million when it is released, which is nearly double that of the previous life!
"The main reason is that I didn't get used to the climate during those few days and I didn't feel well!"
Jiang Heng said a little apologetically. After all, he felt a little sorry for what he had agreed to do at the beginning.
Yu Dong hehe said: "I understand, I understand!"
Jiang Heng smiled and stopped continuing the topic. He took out a cigar and threw it over, asking Yu Dong how the arrangements were going with the crew of "Yi Tian".
Yu Dong said: "The preparations are complete, and the actors' schedules have been coordinated. We are waiting for you to join the group."
Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's not easy!"
"Indeed, but it's really worth it when you think about it!" Yu Dong sighed.
According to Jiang Heng's expectation, this movie will have an all-star cast of martial arts stars, and all the big and small roles in the movie will be played by well-known action actors.
It's not easy to hire people, negotiate prices, and coordinate schedules.
Among these action actors, there are two that are a little troublesome. Brother Cheng Long has no problem with making a cameo, but he said he wants to play Zhang Sanfeng.
Because he thinks the fat man Zhang Sanfeng played by Hong Jinbao in "The Demon Cult Master" is really handsome, and he also wants to try it.
The problem is that the role of Zhang Sanfeng has already been cast as Zhen Zidan, and Yu Dong really doesn’t think Cheng Long’s image is suitable.
After some hard talking, the eldest brother changed his role.
The second slightly troublesome thing is Li Lianjie, the asking price is too high.
Yu Dong tried hard to negotiate the price, but Jiang Heng finally made a call and settled the matter.
As for the other action stars, except for those whose schedules couldn't be missed, they basically agreed as soon as they were told.
After all, it is a martial arts blockbuster starring Jiang Heng. You don’t have to think about it to know how high the traffic and attention will be. It’s a rare opportunity!
Yu Dong also talked about the first reaction of everyone when he found a group of action stars. They laughed and said: "Everyone is looking forward to it, everyone is looking forward to it!"
Jiang Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "No!"
"Really, there are still many martial arts fans in China, but there are too few good movies."
Jiang Heng chuckled. He wanted to say that martial arts was really in decline. He wanted to film it just for fun.
But seeing Yu Dong's high interest, he didn't throw cold water on him.
After chatting for a while, Yu Dong left, and the boss of Good Time Special Effects Company came in.
Because Jiang Heng did not shoot any special effects blockbusters this year, the special effects company lost its own orders, but was overwhelmed by other film and television companies. It received a lot of special effects orders and was very prosperous.
Jiang Heng called him over and simply asked about the company's specific situation. He was not interested at all in the order requirements of each company.
But the boss of Good Time couldn't help but said: "Hey, I used to receive few orders from outside, but now I have gained experience, and I am reluctant to spend money on special effects. The requirements are also relatively low. They are almost the same, as long as the progress is required. Must be quick!”
Jiang Heng chuckled and said, "Why do they always say on the Internet that domestic film and television dramas only have 50-cent special effects!"
The boss of Good Time was stunned for a moment, then he said with a smile: "Then what they are talking about must be movies other than yours. The movies you make are big productions with hundreds of millions of dollars. The special effects costs are converted into RMB, which is one billion. Let’s get started!”
Jiang Heng said: "You get what you pay for!"
"Yes, yes, you are the only one in China who is so willing to spend money and pays so much attention to quality!"
After chatting for a while, Jiang Heng glanced at his watch, and the man took his leave.
Jiang Heng dialed Jing Tan's phone, and the latter said in a dull voice: "Hey, your Majesty, did you remember me?"
"You should say concubine!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.
"Ahhh, you're so angry with me, I'm going to bite you to death!"
"Then come here!"
"Hey, wait, I'll be there right away!"
After Da Tiantian hung up the phone, she hurriedly went to wash up and put on makeup.
During the time when Jiang Heng was abroad, she basically stayed at home, watching dramas and playing games.
Occasionally I go out to shop and eat, and then I go home and lie down, like a proper homebody.
Zhao Liying had also advised her to go out for a trip if she felt bored, or to go to a cameo in a crew if she really couldn't.
But Jing Tian just felt that it was boring, and she still stayed at home to waste time, and finally waited until Jiang Heng came back.
After taking a shower and putting on beautiful makeup, Jing Tian drove the Ferrari out and soon arrived at the iYouTeng Film Building.
"Miss Jing!"
"Miss Jing!"
Along the way, there were always staff members greeting her.
Wearing sunglasses and bright lipstick, Jing Tian just nodded slightly and went straight to Jiang Heng's office.
Pushing the door in, seeing Jiang Heng sitting on the sofa watching a tablet, Jing Tian rushed over directly, opened his mouth towards Jiang Heng's neck, and pretended to bite.
Jiang Heng's assistant Cui Zhenzhen came to close the door, and when she saw it, she turned her head and closed her eyes, and closed the door outside.
Inside the house, Jiang Heng tilted his head and said, "I haven't washed it yet!"
Da Tiantian spat gently on her hand and wanted to apply it on Jiang Heng's neck.
Jiang Heng tilted his head, "Hey, I haven't seen you for more than a month, you're playing dirty, right?"
Da Tiantian said, "Let me see if it's really dirty!"
Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he thought this girl was doing it on purpose.
"Don't make trouble, I'll take you to eat delicious food later!"
Jing Tian said with a chuckle, "The delicious food is right here!"
Seeing Jiang Heng's surprised expression, he said, "I'm not a delicate queen, I have strength and means!"
"Elder Tang, just obey!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "You little goblin, let's go home!" (End of this chapter)
