Chapter 499: New version of "Shi Qiang"

The Three-Body Problem was released in December 1, more than six years ago. Due to the long time interval, many people have a vague impression of it.

In addition, the story timeline of "The Three-Body Problem" is too long and lacks characters that can run through the entire story, so when selecting actors, it is not necessary to use the "original cast."

Of course, it would be better to stay in the original class, but some people refused.

Jiang Wen once played the role of Shi Qiang in "The Three-Body Problem 1", but when Jiang Heng called to invite him to continue to act, Jiang Wen said that he really couldn't spare the time.

According to the original history, Jiang Wen should be filming "One Step Away" at this time.

But in this world, "One Step Away" has already been released, but it still failed in both box office and word of mouth, so what is he busy with? It's not like he would release "Hidden Man" several years in advance, right?
After careful inquiries, I found out that it was the box office failure of "One Step Away" that made him feel seriously guilty.

After all, in history, the entire industry was not particularly profitable, and most movies lost money." Jiang Wen didn't think it was a big deal.

But the reality is that every film Jiang Heng makes is a hit, and each one makes more money than the last.

When even directors like Zhang Yimou, Wang Jing, Xu Zheng and Ning Hao were making huge profits, he became a little restless.

In addition, some investors still recognize Jiang Wen's abilities, knowing that he just can't control his "literary youth" problems many times.

In addition, "Journey to the West: The Monkey King 3: The White Bone Demon" made money despite its low screening schedule and poor reputation, so several investors approached Jiang Wen, hoping that he could make a purely commercial blockbuster.

You can add your own personal stuff, but not too much.

Jiang Wen couldn't save face for a moment, so she agreed. It was also during the preparation stage of the film that she received the invitation call from Jiang Heng.

"Brother, I'm so sorry. If the role is not big and I just show my face a few times, I can still overcome it. But if it takes a month or two to shoot, I really can't come!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll just look for someone else. It's been more than six years, the audience may not remember you!"

"Impossible! A good character will never be forgotten by the audience for many years!"

Jiang Heng smiled and didn't respond. That's right. The classic scenes in "Let the Bullets Fly" have been played up by netizens, so how could they forget the characters in the film?

But Jiang Wen is a big director after all, and he has his own films to work on, so Jiang Heng couldn't just "visit him three times" and had to invite him over.

Fortunately, he still has a backup candidate - Ma Dongxi.

This person had a minor role in "Legend of the Little Soldier" and the company has his contact information.

Give the order and someone will make the contact.

In South Korea, Ma Dongxi, who was filming on the set, suddenly heard his cell phone ring.

"Ah, you bastard, who told you not to turn off the camera when filming?" the director stood up and cursed.

Ma Dongxi quickly apologized, saying that something happened at home and he forgot about it because he was waiting for a call.

The director cursed and swore without saying anything nice, and Ma Dongxi didn't dare to explain further. He just apologized repeatedly and walked out of the filming location to answer the phone.

"Anihasayo!"

Ma Dongxi had a good feeling because he could tell the call was from China. Although he was a tall and strong man, his tone was very gentle.

"Hello, are you Mr. Ma Dongxi?"

"Yes, yes!" Ma Dongxi answered in not very standard Chinese.

"Hello, I'm from the brokerage business department of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures in China. I'd like to inform you that the company is interested in inviting you to star in the film "The Three-Body Problem 2". Do you have time to come for an audition?"

"Ah, yes, yes. When will you arrive?" "Well, within a week. Of course, the sooner the better. If you have booked a flight, you can call me and the company will arrange someone to pick you up at the airport!"

"Okay, I'll be there as soon as possible!"

After hanging up the phone, Ma Dongxi straightened his back, with the warm sunshine shining on his body, and he felt full of energy.

"Director, starting tomorrow, I want to take a leave!"

"What? You bastard, do you know what you are talking about? Don't think that you will become an international superstar just by making a cameo appearance in Director Jiang's blockbuster! If you leave, you won't be acting in this movie anymore, you won't get any pay, and you will have to compensate the crew for their losses."

Seeing this, Ma Dongxi sighed, bowed, turned around and left.

After making a guest appearance in "The Legend of Little Soldiers", I was noticed by many people when I returned to Korea, and my resources were indeed better.

However, there was no suitable script, and no capital was willing to invest in him. Less than a year after the good times ended, when the popularity of "The Legend of the Little Soldier" passed, he was back to his original form, still playing supporting roles in various film and television dramas.

The same is true for the movie that is being filmed now. There are not many scenes and it will be completed in more than half a month.

His idea was to go to China first to finalize the contract. Since "The Three-Body Problem 2" was still in preparation, it would take at least a month to start filming, and it might not be possible to start filming his scenes right away.

Then he can go back to China to finish filming his scenes here, so that neither of them will be delayed.

Unexpectedly, the director not only cursed harshly, but also threatened everyone.

If it weren't for the entertainment company behind him that he couldn't afford to offend, with his chicken-like body, he could beat eight people by himself!

Seeing that Ma Dongxi completely ignored him, the director got angry and shouted to the stagehand beside him: "Quick, catch him!"

The rest of the people looked at the director as if he were an idiot. What, catch Ma Dongxi?

How much money do we make in a day? Why are we playing so hard?

With that big guy, let alone being hit with fists, he wouldn't be able to withstand even a run-and-gun collision!

A group of people turned a deaf ear and just watched Ma Dongxi walk away, and the angry director cursed on the set.

Ma Dongxi drove home to pack his clothes, and then booked the fastest flight to China.

He was afraid that if he left too late, he would be stopped by the entertainment companies here. If he had already joined the crew of "The Three-Body Problem 2", iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video might help him out if he got into any trouble.

But at this moment, we can't take that kind of risk!

China and South Korea are very close to each other, and the fastest flight from Seoul to Beijing takes only one hour and forty minutes.

Ma Dongxi arrived at the Capital Airport that night without notifying iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures. He found a hotel to stay in and went directly to the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures Building the next day.

After explaining his purpose to the front desk, the latter made a few phone calls and immediately a supervisor came down to pick him up, expressing his admiration for his quick arrival.

Ma Dongxi had a silly expression and said in not very standard Chinese: "Director Jiang's film is an opportunity that many people have dreamed of. If I drag my feet, it would be too disrespectful to Director Jiang!"

The supervisor of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent laughed. “You may look silly, but you are actually quite smart! You are lucky that Director Jiang has time to meet you!”

"Oh, that's great!" Ma Dongxi was really surprised.

But I didn't expect that I had to wait for more than four hours before I was led into Jiang Heng's office.

This time is longer than the time he took to fly here from Korea! (End of this chapter)
