Huayu special effects started in 97

Jing Tian's defense was instantly broken, and he pouted and said, "Oh, I just missed you, so I came back to see you and ask about the heroine!"

Knowing that the other "opponents" would arrive one after another, Jing Tian did not dare to waste time and directly stated his purpose.

Jiang Heng deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, after talking for so long, it's still because of the role. I'm sad!"

Jing Tian felt a little guilty after hearing this, and came over to kiss Jiang Heng on the face, "Then after I finish filming this movie, I'll come back and continue to be your assistant, okay?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "That's more like it!"

"So, you agreed to let me play the female lead in the American version?"

Jiang Heng said: "Hey, I didn't say that such a big thing can't be decided so easily!"

Jing Tian snorted and said, "The American version is only more influential in Hollywood and Europe. In the global film market, it is definitely not as good as yours. When you chose Reba to play the female lead, I think you made the decision quite easily!"

Jiang Heng looked embarrassed when he heard this. Well, at that time I felt that the heroine in this film was just a tool and there wasn’t much to stand out about her, so I chose her somewhat casually.

How did they choose Reba at that time? It seems that they thought her face was exotic, and she hadn't starred in a big production for a long time. That was probably their consideration.

"Well, the script hasn't come out yet, and the female lead's character hasn't been determined yet, so of course we can't make a hasty decision!"

Jing Tian thought this made sense and sighed, "Okay, then you have to promise me that you will consider me first, okay?"

Jiang Heng smiled and touched her little head, "That's for sure!"

Then he asked Jing Tian how he was doing in the variety show crew during this period.

When they were chatting happily, the door opened and it was Liu Yifei who came in.

"Wow, you came back so quickly!" Liu Yifei put the bag in her hand on the sofa and said with a smile.

Jing Tian was not panicked, he stood up and said with a smile: "It's close, but you were filming in Hengdian, and you can come back so soon!"

Liu Yifei snorted and did not answer. Instead, she asked Jiang Heng, "Wait, how about we go eat hot pot together?"

Jing Tian said: "Eating hot pot in the middle of summer, it's so hot!"

Then he looked at Jiang Heng and said, "Let's go eat barbecue?"

Jiang Heng was overwhelmed when he heard this, and flipped through the documents on the table, "I have something else to do, so I won't accompany you at noon, you two can eat whatever you like!"

Jing Tian smiled and said, "Okay, let's go out first and don't disturb him!"

Seeing this, Liu Yifei felt it was not appropriate to stay there, so she snorted and walked out of the office.

After the two left, Jiang Heng hurriedly called his assistant Cui Zhenzhen and ordered, "Stop any female artists who come over later. Don't let any of them in. Do you understand?"

"learn!"

Cui Zhenzhen said so, and walked out wearing high heels and twisting her slender waist.

Jiang Heng scratched his hair and suddenly remembered a plot in a TV drama where a group of beauties from an art troupe went to find Mr. Hou one by one in order to go to the United States. What a happy trouble!
However, after Liu Yifei and Jing Tian left, other female artists came over one after another, but were stopped outside by Cui Zhenzhen.

Since these people couldn't get into the office, they called or left messages on WeChat, expressing their desire to play the heroine in the American version of "Alien Path". Jiang Heng's reply was that he would decide after reading the script.

After the problems with the female artists were solved, the male artists also wanted to participate.

It has to be said that the appeal of “breaking into Hollywood” and “international superstar” is indeed great.

Jiang Heng's answer remained the same, that he would make a decision after the script came out.

As a result, in the afternoon, he received an unexpected call from Wu Qizu, who had been working in Hollywood for many years.

After a few pleasantries, Wu Yizu expressed his idea of ​​trying to get the role of the second male lead in the American version of "Alien Path". Jiang Heng smiled and said, "You, this shouldn't be the case!"

Wu Yizu sighed and said, "It's not easy to make it in Hollywood!"

He reached the peak of his career as soon as he debuted. In 97, he starred in "The Matrix" directed by Jiang Heng. After that, he collaborated with Jiang Heng many times, and his starring role in "Inception" even won an Oscar.

After that, the two of them collaborated less and less. Jiang Heng began to promote newcomers, while Wu Qiuzu occasionally made guest appearances, but spent most of his time working hard in Hollywood.

It is said that at the beginning, thanks to the influence of films such as "The Matrix" trilogy and "Inception", Wu Aizu was able to get many leading roles.

However, due to relatively limited resources, most of the films he starred in performed mediocrely, and gradually his status and resources were downgraded.

Wu Aizu's current position in Hollywood is somewhat awkward. He is the type of person who was once glorious in the past but now has no box office appeal.

It is a bit like Andy Lau after the rise of Chinese-language films. He is very famous, but cannot carry the box office and his resources are relatively limited.

After much deliberation, Wu Yizu decided to seek help from Jiang Heng.

I just happened to hear the news that iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Video and Columbia Pictures were planning to co-produce the American version of "Alien", so I called.

Jiang Heng knew something about Wu Qizu's current situation.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

He said frankly: "I am still discussing cooperation with Columbia Company. There is still a male supporting role, which can be reserved for you, but it is hard to say how much part you will have!"

Wu Yizu hurriedly said: "I'm already very grateful. It's a blockbuster anyway. It's been a long time since I've filmed one!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "There will be a chance!"

After hanging up the phone, I couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

In this world, no one is always successful!

Just like those actresses, who were playing young beauties a few years ago, but now they are playing the mother of the male or female protagonist.

The same goes for the male actors. Brother Jackie Chan was so popular in the past few years, but now he has begun to be ridiculed by the public.

Fortunately, he is a big boss and a big director. As long as the quality of special effects blockbusters does not decline, he will not be abandoned by the market in a short time.

But when I think about the overall bleak film market in 2024, I feel that the development of short videos needs to be taken seriously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng called Yinfo Technology, a company under his control, and asked their CEO to come to his office.

Because he also worked in the building, not long after, Jiang Dongsheng, the CEO of Yinfo Technology, who was in his thirties, came to Jiang Heng.

"Director Jiang, you're looking for me?"

Jiang Dongsheng came from Weibo. Seeing that he had good abilities, Jiang Heng asked him to take charge of the project development of Douyin.

"So far, what's the progress?"

"According to your request, after another adjustment, we have started testing. At the earliest, it will be online in early September!"

Jiang Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then there is no need to be so anxious. It will be fine as long as it can be online during the National Day holiday. Do you have any plans for promotional activities?"

"Uh, I have thought about it!"

"Say what you think!"

Jiang Dongsheng said: "I think Miaopai's cooperation with Weibo and the use of celebrities to attract traffic is a good idea...!"

Jiang Heng said: "You can use this method to attract traffic in the early stage, but if you want to attract users, you still have to work hard on the content!" (End of this chapter)
