Chapter 142 Female Supporting Role is Okay
After the banquet, the guests left one by one, and at the same time spread the news that Jiang Heng was going to Hollywood to make a blockbuster movie and prepare to compete for the "Oscar Award".

It can be said that it spread throughout the Chinese entertainment industry overnight.

Most people’s first reaction is that this is too productive and too fast.

Even the big Hollywood companies can only produce a limited number of blockbusters each year.

Before a project is launched, it must go through repeated discussions and have a writing team. In short, it is the result of the joint efforts of countless people.

On Jiang Heng's side, on the surface, there are companies and teams serving him, but almost all decisions are made by him alone.

Jiang Heng wrote the script himself.

There is the "Matrix" series with advanced settings, the simple and brainless "100 Million BC", and the "Lion Camel Ridge" with a smooth and exciting plot.

What is even more shocking is that the film's costumes, makeup, props, music, storyboards, and everything else related to the design were all decided by Jiang Heng himself.

The employees in the company only presented the content that Jiang Heng wanted according to his requirements.

Zhou Xingxing, known as the "tyrant on the set", is nothing compared to Jiang Heng.

Because at least half of Jiang Heng’s film investment was paid by himself.

Movies like "The Matrix 2" are obviously going to make a lot of money and are exclusive products.

Therefore, Jiang Heng's choice of actors is almost not interfered with by anything.

He uses whichever one he likes.

Once the actors are chosen, they soar to the sky, it’s really hard not to be excited!

In Pudong, in the Hilton Hotel suite, Liu Xiaoli stood at the window and called Chen Jinfei, telling him the news she heard tonight.

He said excitedly: "Old Chen, you must help Xixi, this opportunity is too rare!"

Chen Jinfei thought to himself, of course I know that opportunities are rare, but if one wants to strive for an Oscar, one would not choose a vase heroine like in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", one must have outstanding acting skills.

Although my baby daughter has a great appearance and temperament, her acting skills are still a little immature, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to win the role.

Although I thought so in my heart, I still had to say it more nicely.

"Don't worry, I'll make an appointment with him and see what the conditions are! As long as he asks, I'll try my best to find a solution!"

"Old Chen, I'm counting on you. This time, Xixi is relying on you!"

"What are you saying? I'm her godfather!"

After hanging up the phone, Liu Xiaoli went to her daughter's room again, "Xixi, how was your conversation with Director Jiang recently?"

"It's okay. He's so busy every day, so the chat is only intermittent!"

"Xixi, you have to seize this opportunity, okay? Although your godfather will help you, all he has is money and connections, which Director Jiang has in abundance. If you want to be the heroine, you have to fight for it yourself. You can only rely on yourself!"

Liu Xiaoli pressed Liu Yifei's shoulder with a serious expression.

Liu Tianxian frowned slightly, looking somewhat reluctant.

"If he wants to give it to me, I'll agree. If he doesn't give it to me, I won't ask for it!"

"You, why is this child still confused?" Liu Xiaoli looked surprised.

"Mom, you don't have to say anything. I'm a little tired and want to go to bed. You should go to bed early too!"

"You, kid, do you want to piss me off to death?" Liu Xiaoli had an expression of being let down.

Liu Tianxian said softly: "No, Mom, don't worry, what belongs to me will be mine even if I don't ask for it. What doesn't belong to me is useless even if I ask for it!"

Liu Xiaoli was so angry that she laughed, "Where did you learn these words, kid?" "I thought of them myself!"

……

Tang Yan also wanted to fight for it, but she was an artist under iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, so she didn't have to put so much effort.

I asked her agent directly, does Director Jiang plan to use an artist from his own company as the female lead this time?
The agent made a few phone calls on the spot and told Tang Yan, "Director Jiang told you to study hard first, because there are a lot of hit dramas waiting for you to shoot later!"

"Oh fine!"

Although Tang Yan felt a little disappointed, he quickly adjusted his mood.

She knows her own abilities. She is extremely lucky to be able to play the role of the Third Holy Mother Yang Chan in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother". One should not be too greedy.

In Beijing, Li Shaohong learned the news and hurriedly called Han Sanping to inquire about Jiang Heng's new film and see if he could help Yang Mi find a role.

She and the gold medal producer Li Xiaowan co-founded Rong Xinda Film and Television Company. After becoming bosses, she became relatively pragmatic.

I don’t think Yang Mi has the ability to be the leading lady in a blockbuster movie at this moment.

Her idea was to get a small supporting role, which would also help Yang Mi gain some experience and better development.

Han Sanping and Li Shaohong are old colleagues and acquaintances. The former went to Beijing Film Studio as deputy director in 94, and the latter started working there after graduating in 82.

At the beginning, he was an assistant director, helping director Xie Tieli. His first film was the famous "The Bao Family".

By 88, the director of Beijing Film Studio specially selected several young directors to try to shoot commercial films suitable for the market. Li Shaohong was one of them.

At that time, the term "commercial film" had just been coined and no one knew what to do.

The film assigned to Li Shaohong was "Silver Snake Murder Case". Her first reaction was that she felt very unlucky and she burst into tears.

Her classmates were all making art films like "One and Eight", "Yellow Earth" and "The Horse Thief", but she was asked to make commercial films without any taste. It was simply bullying.

Because in that era, everyone who graduated from film academy had a master complex, and their pursuit was not to compromise with the secular world and box office.

But because times have changed, there was only one chance to direct, so I gritted my teeth and took the commercial film.

As a result, the most profitable film at the Beijing Film Studio that year was "Silver Snake Murder Case", with more than 200 copies sold.

The "Popular Movies" magazine of that year also listed 18 brutal and bloody scenes in "Silver Snake Murder Case", which shows that Director Li is indeed a ruthless person and a relatively realistic person.

When Han Sanping said that Jiang Heng's new film was going to be shot in Hollywood.

Li Shaohong said: "It's okay, as long as I can participate, these are not a problem, at worst I can accompany her there in person!"

At this point, Han Sanping couldn't refuse his old colleague, so he said, "Okay, I'll ask for you, it shouldn't be a big problem!"

After hanging up, he called Jiang Heng.

As it turned out, Jiang Heng’s phone was turned off, so they could only wait until the next day.

The next day, the call was finally connected and Li Shaohong's request was stated.

"Just for a supporting role, are you willing to go to the United States to film?" Jiang Heng asked back.

Han Sanping smiled bitterly, "That's what she said. We've been colleagues for many years. Please ask her. Have you seen the girl she signed? She's quite smart!"

Jiang Hengxin said, not only have I seen her, I also know that she will be very famous in the future!
The problem is that she is not even eighteen yet. It would be troublesome to take her to Hollywood, right?

"There is a supporting role, and it's not impossible to give it to her, but at least one of the parents must accompany her. If she can do that, then there will be no problem!"
