Huayu special effects started in 97

Du Huan achieved his goal and left in a hurry, while Jiang Heng continued filming.

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

"Ah, is that okay?"

"Of course!"

"So, what role?"

Jiang Heng thought for a moment and said, "Just play a witch!"

According to the setting of the script, there are magical civilizations among the planets outside the earth.

Of course, the magic level of their civilization was not very high. No matter how powerful a magician was, he would be shot into a sieve when facing thousands of muskets or Gatling guns emitting blue light.

However, in the later sequels, powerful characters like "Scarlet Witch" will appear.

Therefore, Jiang Heng planned to portray Liu Yifei's guest role as a very talented person who caused a lot of trouble to the male protagonist's adventure team, leaving enough room for the conception of the sequel.

Liu Yifei was very interested in this, but thought it was getting late and she definitely couldn't do it today.

Jiang Heng thought about it, took out a pen and paper and drew a sketch. He asked the costume and props team to make it according to the design overnight, 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.

The next day, when I arrived at the crew, the costumes and props had indeed been prepared. I hurriedly asked Liu Yifei to put on makeup first, and then we started filming.

Special effects blockbusters look grand and spectacular, but it is still quite awkward to shoot in front of a green screen.

A group of people were hanging on wires and doing all kinds of movements in the air, which looked really silly.

In other words, Jiang Heng knew all the scenes by heart, and others would be confused if they watched such scenes.

The crew started filming in late September and worked until mid-December.

Because there were no blockbuster movies produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video during the year-end Lunar New Year period, Jiang Heng spent most of his time on the crew 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 when his assistant Cui Zhenzhen left him a message saying that director Feng Xiaogang had come and heard that he was not there, so he left an invitation to the premiere of "Private Tailor" and left.

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

As the saying goes, business is like a battlefield, and the relationship between iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video and their competitors has been up and down.

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

When the relationship is bad, they may do something shady to each other, and sometimes they may not contact each other for a long time.

Of course, they are all decent people, so things will definitely not be bad.

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

The film’s reputation is another matter, but it is still quite entertaining.

On December 12, a driver drove him to the ceremony site.

As she got off the car and walked onto the red carpet, the reporters at the scene were so excited that their cameras kept clicking.

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

After walking down 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 do? I can just look for big bosses to attract investment!"

Because of the poor reputation and box office of Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame, Xu 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 was that Huayi had just suffered a loss for the movie “Detective Dee: The Mystery of the Phantom Flame” he shot, so they didn’t dare to cooperate with them in the short term, so this time he came here to get nothing.

Old Monster Xu was overjoyed as he didn't want to meet Jiang Heng.

"Director Jiang has been very generous recently, launching several blockbuster films 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 it, and he wanted to pull Jiang Heng out of the cafe immediately, "Don't wait for another day, today is good enough!"

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

Zhang Guoli then stepped forward with a smile, "If there is a suitable role, don't forget me, Director Jiang!"

He is also an old friend of Jiang Heng. He played the Jade Emperor in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" and has participated in many films produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent. They have always had a good relationship.

"If you say so, I will definitely never forget you!"

Hu Haiquan, Yao Chen and the main creators of the film "Personal Tailor" also came over to say hello.

Needless to say, Ge You is also Jiang Heng's old friend.

Zheng Kai is not only signed with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, but he is also currently a guest on the show "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 politely extended his hand and said, "Hey, Teacher Fan Wei, hello, hello!"

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

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

Fan Wei said: "What can I be busy with? I'll just be busy doing nothing. If someone wants me to do something, I'll just shoot a movie. If no one wants me to do something, I'll just stay here!"

When the people around heard this, they all laughed.

Jiang Heng also laughed and said, "I will go back and ask Mr. Li (Li Xiaoping) if there is a script suitable for Teacher Fan Wei, so that we can shoot one too!"

Upon hearing this, Fan Wei said hurriedly, "Oh, thank you so much, Director Jiang. Thank you so much!"

While everyone was greeting each other, the Wang brothers, Feng Xiaogang and others also came over and said some warm and polite words to each other, and it seemed that everyone was in harmony.

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 Old Monster Xu?"

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

In fact, the Wang brothers still recognized Xu Ke's abilities, but his performance was sometimes good and sometimes bad at this time, which made them dare not use him again for a while.

Jiang Heng asked him to go over, is he going to make another hit movie?
Then when Huayi invites him to work with them, he will not perform well again, right? That would be really disappointing.

Feng Xiaogang was standing nearby, and said with envy: "How many blockbusters have iQiyi, Youku and Tencent released this year? They are really rich!"

Zhang Guoli continued, "Yes, he is very rich!"

……

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

Not long after sitting down and eating, Xu Laoguai asked about investment.

Jiang Heng laughed and asked Xu Ke what he thought.

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

"Okay, I actually have a good idea!"

"what?"

"The main theme!"

"The main theme?"

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

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