Chapter 322 The Young Ladies’ Famous Works
"When you say this, are you blaming me, your boss, for not being on your side?" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

Yang Mi pouted, "How dare I? You're so busy, making millions of dollars every minute, and you're always thinking about big projects worth hundreds of millions of dollars. I'd be very satisfied if you occasionally remember to let me play a cameo role!"

Jiang Heng leaned back on the sofa and said, "But then again, you have the potential to be an idol star. It's a bit of a waste to be like this now!"

As he said this, he pulled out a cigar.

Yang Mi hurried forward to help cut the edge, light it, and then handed it over.

Jiang Heng took the cigar and took a puff, then said with a smile, "Two dramas, one is a Qing Dynasty drama, and the other is an ancient costume fantasy. Which one do you choose?"

Yang Mi stepped forward and asked in her unique voice, "Can I choose both?"

Jiang Heng couldn't help but scratch her nose, "You are so greedy!"

"It's because my boss has that ability!"

Jiang Heng laughed when he heard this, "You are good at talking!"

"Can you really shoot both? Boss, you are so kind. I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life!"

Jiang Heng waved his hand, "Stop talking about that. There has to be a sequence. Which one do you want to take a picture of?"

Yang Mi thought for a moment and asked, "Which one do you want Shisi to shoot?"

"Scarlet Heart!"

"The novel about traveling back in time to the Qing Dynasty and participating in the battle for the throne among nine emperors?"

iQiyi and Youku have a dedicated copyright department, which selects some potential novels every year to purchase the copyrights.

Sometimes Jiang Heng would suddenly remember and directly order them to buy it.

Some are bought and put on the shelf, while others are picked up by TV drama production departments and arranged to be adapted into TV dramas.

Whether it is Yang Mi or Zhao Liying, they have naturally been paying attention to the TV drama projects prepared by the company.

She had long known that the company was going to produce the drama "Startling by Each Step" and had thought about competing for the role of Maertai Ruoxi, but she never expected that Jiang Heng would actually give the role to an outsider.

“Can I do this?”

Jiang Heng smiled, "Do you think your personality is suitable for this role?"

Yang Mi smiled broadly, "It's just acting, just pretending!"

Jiang Heng shook his head slightly. He didn't want to support Liu Shisi, but he felt that the role was a perfect fit for her personality.

It can be said that except for Long Kui and Maertai Ruoxi, none of Liu Shisi's other roles left any impression on Jiang Heng.

"I've already promised them, so it's hard to change it. Don't worry, the movie I made for you will be no worse than 'Startling by Each Step'!"

"Okay, I believe you!" Yang Mi smiled sweetly.

Naturally, she didn't dare to confront Jiang Heng. Anyway, she was promised two dramas, so one of them would make her famous!

To be honest, she was really anxious.

Among several girls of similar age, Liu Yifei became famous early on, which is really incomparable.

Jing Tian has starred in Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters one after another. At this moment, she is more popular than Liu Yifei and is the leader of the post-85 young actresses, which makes her very envious.

Tang Yan has had fewer blockbuster resources in recent years, but has also starred in quite a few small and medium-budget movies, and TV dramas starring naive female protagonists.

Only she, after switching from Rongxinda, did not obtain very good resources.

Sometimes she even wondered if Jiang Heng had no resources because he secretly looked down on her for terminating the contract early.

Fortunately, Zhao Liying was there to support her, which made her feel much better.

After chatting for a while, Jiang Heng drove a Mercedes-Benz G to take Yang Mi to the restaurant for the dinner. Not to mention the food and drink, but the next day, Jiang Heng called Li Xiaoping and asked him to contact a man named Yu Zheng.

Li Xiaoping had naturally heard of this. "What do you mean?"

"Let him write a script based on this outline and create a play for Yang Mi!"

Li Xiaoping took a look at it and said in surprise, "This is too similar to "Startling by Each Step". Are we having two Qing Dynasty dramas at the same time, and both are about nine princes competing for the throne?"

The copyright of the drama "Startling by Each Step" belongs to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, which also provide the majority of funding. Only the specific production is handed over to Tang Ren, but in the final analysis, it is a drama owned by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures.

Li Xiaoping didn't quite understand why Director Jiang wanted to make two similar movies, competing with himself!

Jiang Heng chuckled and didn't explain too much. He couldn't just say that these two dramas produced two popular young actresses!

Of course, perhaps due to the butterfly effect, not both dramas became popular after they were finished filming, but that didn’t have much impact on him, as he didn’t lose money anyway.

"Don't worry about that, just do as I say!"

"Oh well!"

Li Xiaoping left with the outline. After all, the facts over the years have proved that Director Jiang is always right. If you don't understand for the moment, just listen and follow.

Seeing that Yang Mi had her own famous drama, Jiang Heng naturally thought of Zhao Liying who was still playing a pitiful supporting role.

I called the screenwriting department to ask if there is any script adaptation for the novel "The Journey of Flower"?

The director of the screenwriting department was stunned for a moment, wondering why they suddenly asked this. He quickly said that no, why are you arranging people right now?

Jiang Heng said, do it as soon as possible, recruit some people if you don’t have enough manpower, and get the script out in about two months.

The supervisor quickly agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he wondered which actress was being planned to start a new movie.

Judging from the level of attention Jiang Heng pays to it, it should have the potential to become a huge hit!
After all, Director Jiang has rarely asked about TV drama production in the past year or so. The entire production of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" was handled by Li Xiaoping, and Director Jiang didn't even ask about it.

I don’t know which actress is worthy of Director Jiang’s attention. It can’t be Clara, right? She has a really good figure!

Not to mention the confusion in the mind of the director of the screenwriting department, Jiang Heng, on his part, attended some cocktail parties from time to time.

One day, Yu Dong came over and said, "Director Jiang, the domestic box office of The King's Avatar has exceeded 1 billion. Do you want to hold a celebration party?"

It is said that the box office growth of this film was really strong in the early stage, but after the viewing enthusiasm brought by the "original party" subsided, the box office fell sharply in the later stage.

Judging from the current box office trends, it will be no problem for the mainland market to exceed 1 billion, but it will definitely not reach 1.1 billion.

The overseas markets are similar, with strong initial momentum but insufficient stamina.

Judging from the current trend, the global box office should be able to exceed 9 million US dollars, which is not even close to the 23.98 billion US dollars of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons ".

This is basically the fault of the subject matter. To be honest, if it weren't for the gimmick of 3D and Jiang Heng's name, how could so many foreign audiences be willing to go to the cinema to watch China beat up aliens?
Be content!

Jiang Heng was very satisfied with the box office results and naturally wanted to celebrate.

We have relevant staff to send invitation letters to all the main creators.

After Jing Tian received it, he hurriedly called Jiang Heng and said excitedly: "Brother, brother, my "Warring States" is about to premiere, you must come then!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "If you say so, I will definitely go!"

"Hehe, congratulations to Brother Jiang Heng, The Hero's Company is a huge hit at the box office, and the mainland market has exceeded 1 billion again, it's really amazing!"

"It's mainly because you acted well!" Jiang Heng said politely with a smile.

"Really? I think so too. Tell me, can my movie "Warring States" sell for 10 or 80 million?"

Jiang Heng thought to himself, you must be thinking too much, if you don’t lose money you’ll make money, I hope you won’t be scolded too badly by the audience!
