Huayu special effects started in 97

"Long time no see. Have you been doing well these years?" Jiang Heng asked casually with a smile in the office.

Ma Dongxi was a little embarrassed, "I am ashamed to say that although I became popular after returning to China thanks to the popularity of "Legend of the Little Soldier", I still play supporting roles everywhere because I haven't found a suitable acting path for myself!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly without commenting.

In fact, in the movie "Train to Busan" which made him famous in his previous life, Ma Dongxi also played a supporting role.

How should I put it? In an era when fashion action movies are declining, with a "villain" look like him, it's good enough to have a role to play and make a living.

It was unexpected that it became a hit.

"It's okay. I believe you will be famous from now on, because this time you are asked to play the second male lead, Shi Qiang!"

"Male No. 2?"

Ma Dongxi was so surprised that he stood up suddenly. He was stunned for two seconds before he bowed to apologize to Jiang Heng and then bowed to thank him.

He understands the character of Shi Qiang.

I have watched "The Three-Body Problem 1" before. The film has two male protagonists. Shi Qiang, played by Jiang Wen, is mainly responsible for tracking down the Three-Body Organization ETO, and there are a lot of chasing, fighting, and explosion scenes.

When he watched the film, he even thought that it would be great if he could play this role.

Unexpectedly, a few years later, such a good thing really happened to him. He was so excited that he didn't know what to say.

He either apologized or expressed gratitude, and was so excited that he was a little incoherent.

Jiang Heng was used to seeing people "shed tears of gratitude", so he smiled and waved his hand to let him sit down.

Then he told Jiang Wen about his situation, saying that he had to prepare for a new movie, so he had no time to film. He thought of Ma Dongxi, with whom he had worked before, and asked someone to call him to come over, but he didn't expect him to come so soon.

Then he asked, "Is there any problem in your country?"

Ma Dongxi hesitated for a few seconds and decided to tell the truth. After all, Jiang Heng was such a powerful force that if he really wanted to investigate his situation in Korea, he would not be able to hide it.

After listening to Ma Dongxi's story and his initial plan, Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay. When the news that you will play the role of Shi Qiang in "The Three-Body Problem 2" gets out, not only will they not sue you, they will also make a big announcement about your filming of that drama!"

Ma Dongxi was stunned when he heard this, and suddenly realized, that’s right!
If I become famous with "The Three-Body Problem 2", the low-budget movie I shot before will take advantage of it!

I couldn't help but smile innocently, "I can only have this kind of thing because of Director Jiang's care. I can't thank him enough for that!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, just perform well during the filming!"

Glancing at the Vacheron Constantin on his wrist, he immediately said, "Okay, that's all for today. Someone will take you to sign the contract later. Someone will contact you about the subsequent schedule and remuneration!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Dongxi hurriedly stood up, bowed and left.

Jiang Hengze stood up, walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and stretched.

Shi Qiang's role in the film is not very important, because the plot of "The Three-Body Problem 2" is mainly adapted from the second part of the novel, the famous "The Three-Body Problem 2: The Dark Forest".

Therefore, the plot focuses on Luo Ji as the protagonist, and the contest between the Wall-Facing Plan and the Wall-Breaking Man is the main clue conflict.

In terms of special effects selling points, the most brilliant scene is the grand scene where the Trisolaran "water drop" probe destroys more than 2,000 interstellar battleships of the human space fleet.

The film ends with Luo Ji realizing the law of the "Dark Forest" and shocking the Trisolarans when the people on Earth are in despair and in doomsday carnival.

In other words, the absolute hero of this play is Luo Ji. What kind of person is he? When he first appears, he is a bohemian and cynical young scholar.

When he got old, he had a resolute face and a cold personality.

Many male actors in the circle are vying for this role.

For example, Liu Dehua flew to Beijing as soon as he heard the news and made an appointment to meet with Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng’s answer was that it would take some time to consider.

Anyway, Liu Dehua is a bit old, and he doesn’t have that youthful vibe when playing the role of a young scholar.

When it comes to acting, I feel that he is a bit reserved and always maintains a tense state, which seems not quite right.

As for mainland artists, Huang Xiaoming has also been here. Jiang Heng thinks his appearance is suitable, but he has played too many "dominant" roles in recent years, so it's a bit out of place to think about him playing logic.

In addition to these two people, there are many more male celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry who recommended themselves. Jiang Heng looked through the information and couldn't decide who to use for a while.

However, he had already thought of the role of the heroine Zhuang Yan a long time ago, and that was Zhang Ruolan.

Of course, Zhang Ruolan’s appearance does not completely match the description in the original novel.

Jiang Heng didn’t think that Zhuang Yan, as described by Liu Cixin, was that pretty. She was about 1.6 meters tall and so slender that she could be blown away by a gust of wind...

As for film and television adaptations, they certainly cannot follow the original work completely.

The reason why he chose Zhang Ruolan was because of her pure and sunny appearance and her "national first love face".

It can be said that a big part of the reason why "The Three-Body Problem 2" was only started in 2014 was because people were waiting for someone to grow up!
Zhang Ruonan, who was born in 96, is still in high school now. In 2015, she went to Hangzhou Dianzi University to study.

It was also in this year that a classmate recommended her to participate in the campus beauty contest. She posted a Weibo with her own photo and was eventually shortlisted as one of the top 30 contestants in the campus beauty contest.

Later, Zhang Ruolan used her spare time to work as a print model, shooting commercials, and gradually began to gain a certain reputation in the circle.

In 2017, the crew of the movie "Sadness Is Like a River" found Zhang Ruolan and invited her to star in the film...

Judging from her later career development, her university life was completely wasted. She might as well apply to Beijing Broadcasting Institute or the Central Academy of Drama to hone her acting skills!
Therefore, Jiang Heng did not feel any guilt about the possibility of affecting Zhang Ruonan's studies. He was just worried about whether she would sign up for the auditions.

I think so. Are they going to send a few scouts to her school? That would be too deliberate!
In front of Yueqing Vocational High School, a group of students happily rushed out of the school gate. Zhang Ruolan, wearing school uniform, talked and laughed with her sisters as they walked towards home.

Seeing a lot of people gathered not far ahead, I quickly ran over to join in the fun.

"What are you looking at? What are you looking at?"

The little girl stood on tiptoe and stretched her neck to look inside.

The tall boy in front turned around and grinned when he saw Zhang Ruolan. "Nannan, there's good news. Director Jiang's new film "The Three-Body Problem 2" is organizing an audition. They want to select a girl aged 18 to 22 with a pure appearance to be the heroine. You are so pretty, you will definitely be chosen!"

My goodness, the moment this guy opens his mouth, he speaks in a strong dog-licking tone.

Zhang Ruolan was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought about being a movie star or a leading lady. It seemed too far away from her.

But if it works, it should be great! (End of this chapter)
