Huayu special effects started in 97

In the afternoon, Jiang Heng went to the company and called Du Huan to tell him about the preparations for filming of "The Jingwei Filling the Sea".

Du Huan was not surprised about the planning of shooting a new film.

According to Jiang Heng's previous filming pace, the script should be ready by now!
I just didn’t expect it to be “Jingwei Filling the Sea”. When we talked about it a while ago, it was another story!
"As for the actors, which ones do you need me to find?"

Jiang Heng took out a character comparison list and said, "Follow the contacts above!"

Du Huan took it and took a look, and saw that for the role of Huangdi, Jiang Heng wanted to find Tang Guoqiang, the Yan Emperor was played by Wang Huichun, and Chiyou was played by Ding Haifeng...

"Teacher Tang Guoqiang has played many historical figures over the years, and this time he plays the Yellow Emperor again!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "In a few years, he will be able to play all the celebrities in mythology and history over the past five thousand years!"

"Oh, that's interesting!"

Du Huan laughed and thought Jiang Heng was just joking.

Jiang Heng said solemnly, "So, for the role of Huangdi, please ask Mr. Tang to play it as much as possible!"

Du Huan was stunned when he heard this, and then nodded.

Due to scheduling issues, the expected list of actors is one thing, but those who can actually participate are often another group of people.

After all, Jiang Heng always came up with the script urgently and started filming in a very short time, so many people were unable to cooperate due to schedule.

Things turned out just as expected. Du Huan contacted Tang Guoqiang and found out that there was indeed a problem with the schedule, which was a month late.

He called Jiang Heng again to ask for his opinion, and finally the two sides communicated and decided to shoot Tang Guoqiang's scenes later, but he had to join the crew at the latest 20 days after the start of filming.

Tang Guoqiang was naturally willing to take part in "The Jingwei Filling the Sea". After all, the investment was bigger, the pay was higher, and the influence would be greater.

He said he would discuss with the crew here and try to finish filming a few days earlier.

Du Huan contacted teacher Wang Huichun again, but he didn't want her schedule to overlap with his own. Unless he breached the contract and paid compensation, there would be no possibility for him to participate in "Jingwei Filling the Sea".

And an old actor like him definitely cares about word of mouth.

Although he really wanted to take part in the performance, he had no choice but to decline, which Jiang Heng also felt was a pity.

Firstly, I admire Wang Huichun's acting skills very much. Secondly, we have collaborated several times over the years and it was quite pleasant. Now I can only find another candidate.

Du Huan suggested finding Wang Xueqi, who is also a veteran actor with a good reputation and acting skills in the circle.

Jiang Heng agreed, so Du Huan called and it turned out that there was actually a schedule, and the two sides hit it off and reached a cooperation.

Unexpectedly, Ding Haifeng got into some trouble again.

His original development in the film and television industry was only average. Apart from Wu Song in "Water Margin", there were not many classic roles remembered by the audience.

However, because of his role as Tang Monk who "knows some boxing and kicking" in Jiang Heng's "Journey to the West"-type works, his popularity has been very high in recent years. Although he has not starred in many works, he has continued to receive film offers.

When Ding Haifeng learned that Jiang Heng wanted him to play the villain Chi You, he was very happy, so he turned down a film contract he had previously agreed to and compensated the other party some money.

In theory, everyone is doing things according to the contract. You get paid for making a film and you pay compensation for breach of contract. It's all natural.

The investors of the crew who had some capital didn't want him to turn down the offer and also felt embarrassed, so they exposed the matter to the media, which made him feel a little embarrassed.

Jiang Heng was also very unhappy when he saw this situation, so he asked Du Huan to handle the matter and suppress the public opinion, but he remembered the name of the investor.

If they continue to make small and medium-budget movies, it will be difficult for Jiang Heng to take action. After all, you can't use anti-aircraft guns to kill mosquitoes.

But if you want to shoot a blockbuster, you can schedule it in the same time slot! Jingwei Filling the Sea is a costume and myth drama with many characters and cool special effects. The film not only features historical figures such as Huangdi, Yandi, and Chiyou, but also related settings such as the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

Of course, the Twelve Ancestral Witches and other characters have been almost wiped out in the movie "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" in the battle with the demon clan.

In "Jingwei Filling the Sea", Chi You of the Jiuli tribe used the secret method of the witch clan to gather the spiritual essence of the twelve ancestor witches and create the "Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Array".

This formation is completely different from the formation set up by the real bodies of the ancient witches in "Honghuang: The Fall of Heaven".

But they still have a considerable advantage against the human tribal alliance led by Yan and Huang.

Fortunately, the prosperity of human religion is destiny. Huangdi has the help of the imperial teacher Guangchengzi, and the heroine Jingwei becomes a disciple of Tongtian Sect Master. Only then can she transform into a divine bird after her death and have the ability to turn the sea into mulberry fields and reverse the destiny of the world.

Therefore, this film has many characters. In addition to the supporting roles with more screen time, there are also many "famous" characters who only appear once or twice.

For this kind of situation, the best option is to invite celebrities to make guest appearances.

Jiang Heng asked Du Huan to spread the word first, and soon he received feedback that many celebrity friends called and wanted to make cameo appearances in the film.

"Hey, Ah Heng, I want to be in your movie. I want to play the most powerful Yuanshi Tianzun!"

The only person who could speak to Jiang Heng in such a loud tone was naturally Big Brother Cheng Long from the Hong Kong entertainment industry.

Even Hong Jinbao, who is known as the "Big Brother", has to politely call him Director Jiang.

After all, although the box office of Cheng Long's films has been getting lower and lower in recent years, he can't ask Jiang Heng for anything.

However, Sammo Hung had hoped that his son would become famous because of Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters.

Even though the wish was not fulfilled, after all, I asked for it several times, so I am not that stubborn anymore!
"Brother, who told you that Yuanshi Tianzun is the most powerful?"

"Isn't it him? He was the one who came up with it during the Conferred God List!"

"Well, Taishang Laojun is the eldest brother, and Yuanshi Tianzun is the second...!"

"Oh, then I want to play Taishang Laojun!"

Jiang Heng couldn't help but cover his face with his hands. It was hard to imagine the scene of Cheng Long playing Laozi!

But then again, although Sammo Hung is fat, his white hair and long eyebrows still give him a somewhat immortal look, so we might consider letting him make a cameo appearance in "Primitive".

"Brother, it's not certain when you can come. When you come to visit the set, we can choose on the spot!"

"Oh, that's fine too!" Cheng Long's tone was quite regretful when he hung up the phone.

Many friends in the circle requested to make guest appearances, and there were also many people within iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video who wanted to participate.

Jiang Heng assigned roles to everyone according to their characteristics.

For example, for the role of Master Tongtian, he planned to let Han Tong play the role and make the character look more handsome.

After all, in this play, Master Tongtian is a positive character.

After busy preparations for more than half a month, the film "Hong Huang: Jingwei Filling the Sea" finally started shooting in Beijing in early April.

Jiang Heng first held a grand press conference for his new film. Because he played the leading role again after many years, hundreds of domestic entertainment media came. The event site was packed with people and reporters with cameras were everywhere.

Yang Mi, who was waiting backstage, was extremely happy to see this. She felt that her persistence in iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video for so many years was worth it! (End of this chapter)
