Chapter 485: Tricking Old Monster Xu

Du Huan left in a hurry after achieving his goal, and Jiang Heng continued filming.

Seeing Liu Yifei watching with interest, he smiled and said, "How about you come to play a cameo role?"

"Ah, can you?"

"Of course!"

"Then, what role?"

Jiang Heng thought about it, "Just play a witch!"

In the script setting, there are magic civilizations among the planets outside the earth.

Of course, the magic level of its civilization is not very high. No matter how powerful the magician is, facing thousands of muskets or Gatling guns with blue light, he will be beaten into a sieve.

However, in the sequel later, a powerful character like "Scarlet Witch" can appear.

So, Jiang Heng plans to portray Liu Yifei's cameo role as a very talented person who causes a lot of trouble to the male protagonist's adventure team, leaving enough room for the conception of the sequel.

Liu Yifei was very excited about this, but she thought it was getting late and she would definitely not be able to do it today.

Jiang Heng thought about it, took a pen and paper and drew a sketch, and asked the costume and props team to make it overnight according to the design above, and then finished work early and let everyone go.

Jiang Heng drove Liu Yifei to a nearby restaurant for dinner, and then returned to the mansion here.

The next day, he came to the crew, and the costumes and props were indeed rushed out. He asked Liu Yifei to put on makeup first, and then started shooting.

The special effects blockbuster looks magnificent, but it is still awkward to shoot in front of the green screen.

A group of people hanging on the wire and doing various actions in the air, which looks particularly stupid.

In other words, Jiang Heng knew all the scenes by heart, and others would be confused when watching such shots.

The crew started shooting in late September and was busy until mid-December.

Because there were no blockbusters produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video in the Lunar New Year period at the end of the year, Jiang Heng spent most of his time on the set and rarely participated in activities unless it was difficult to refuse.

On this day, Jiang Heng had just returned to his mansion in Beijing to rest for two days, and his assistant Cui Zhenzhen left him a message saying that Director Feng Xiaogang had come and left an invitation to the premiere of "Personal Tailor" after hearing that he was not there.

Jiang Heng replied, "I know," put down his phone, and couldn't help laughing.

As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield, and the relationship between iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video and its competitors is also good and bad.

When the relationship is good, the Wang brothers, Director Feng, and many artists under Huayi will come to show their support.

When the relationship is bad, they will do something dirty to each other, and there is no contact for a long time.

Of course, they are all decent people, so the surface things must be good.

Since Director Feng came to deliver the invitation in person, Jiang Heng decided to go.

The reputation of the film is another matter, but it is still entertaining.

On December 17, the driver drove him to the ceremony.

After getting off the car and walking on the red carpet, the reporters were so excited that their cameras kept flashing.

The celebrity guests who also came to "help" were also shocked. They really didn't expect Jiang Heng to come.

After walking the red carpet and entering the backstage, Director Xu Ke came forward to shake hands, "Long time no see, Director Jiang!"

"Long time no see, Director Xu, what are you busy with recently?"

"Hey, what can I be busy with? I'm looking for big bosses everywhere to attract investment!"

Because "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" collapsed in both word of mouth and box office, Xu Laoguai scared the investors again. Some of the film and television projects that had been agreed upon were terminated. He thought about talking to the Wang brothers again.

The problem is that the "Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame" he shot just made Huayi lose money, so how could he dare to cooperate in a short period of time, so this time he came here was originally "nothing to gain".

Xu Laoguai didn't want to meet Jiang Heng, which made him overjoyed.

"Director Jiang has been very generous recently, and has released several blockbusters in succession. I wonder if I have a chance?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "I know your strength, there will be no problem. Let's talk about it another day!"

Xu Ke's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he wanted to pull Jiang Heng out of the cafe immediately, "Don't wait for another day, today is great!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Okay, then let's end the event!"

Zhang Guoli then smiled and stepped forward, "Don't forget me if there is a suitable role, Director Jiang!"

This person is also an old friend of Jiang Heng. He played the Jade Emperor in "Splitting the Mountain to Save the Mother" and has participated in many films produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video. The relationship has always been good.

"Speaking of this, I will definitely not forget you!"

Hu Haiquan, Yao Chen, and the main creators of "Private Customization" also came over to say hello.

Needless to say, Ge You is also an old friend of Jiang Heng.

Zheng Kai is not only signed to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, but is also a guest of "Running Man" and is very popular.

Li Xiaolu and Bai Baihe both look very beautiful.

Jiang Heng mostly just nodded, but when he saw Fan Wei, he extended his hand politely and said, "Hey, Teacher Fan Wei, hello, hello!"

Fan Wei hurriedly said modestly, "Oh, I dare not call you teacher in front of Director Jiang!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "What are you busy with recently?"

Fan Wei said, "What can I be busy with? I'm just busy. If someone asks me to do it, I will shoot a movie. If no one asks me to do it, I will just stay here!"

Everyone around laughed when they heard it.

Jiang Heng also laughed and said, "I will go back and ask General Manager Li (Li Xiaoping) if there is a script suitable for Teacher Fan Wei, and shoot one too!"

Fan Wei hurriedly said, "Oh, thank you Director Jiang so much, thank you!"

While everyone was greeting each other, the Wang brothers, Feng Xiaogang and others also came over and said some warm words to each other, looking very harmonious.

After the ceremony, Huayi Company also arranged a reception dinner, but Jiang Heng smiled and refused, and left with Xu Ke.

"Is he going to invest in Xu Ke?"

Looking at the direction where Jiang Heng left, Mr. Wang murmured.

In fact, the Wang brothers still recognized Xu Ke's ability, but his performance was sometimes good and sometimes bad, so they dared not use him again in the short term.

Jiang Heng asked him to go over, wouldn't he make another hit movie?

And then when Huayi asked him to cooperate, he would perform poorly again? That would be too deceptive.

Feng Xiaogang was beside him, and said in an envious tone: "How many blockbusters have iQiyi, Youku and Tencent released this year? They are really rich!"

Zhang Guoli followed up, "Yes, they are too rich!"

...

Jiang Heng and Xu Ke are both from Hong Kong, so they chose a Cantonese restaurant for dinner.

Not long after they sat down, Xu Ke asked about investment.

Jiang Heng laughed and asked Xu Ke what he thought.

Xu Ke said with a guilty tone: "I have made a lot of blockbusters in the past ten years, and I have made some losses and some profits. I don't have many ideas anymore. If Director Jiang has a good idea, please tell me!"

"Okay, I really have a good idea!"

"What?"

"The main theme!"

"The main theme?"

Xu Ke looked at Jiang Heng in surprise, his eyes revealing the meaning of "are you kidding me?" He was born in Vietnam, made his fortune in Hong Kong, and later went north to make movies.

After so many years of working experience, he is totally incompatible with the main theme! (End of this chapter)
