Huayu special effects started in 97

After Liu Yifei and Guli Nazha finished filming their guest appearances, they returned to the company and found Li Xiaoping, who was in charge of the preparations for the production of "Dragon and Snake Romance", and told her that Jiang Heng wanted to adapt the drama into a movie and he would star in it himself.

When Li Xiaoping heard the news, she was completely shocked!

"You mean Director Jiang will play Wang Chao in the film himself?"

“Yes, but he’s going to play Wang Chao in the movie version, not the one in the TV series!” Gulinazha said with a smile.

"I understand. Director Jiang would never act in a TV series. The problem is, this is an action movie!"

"Yeah, everyone says he's good at Kung Fu, so isn't it perfect for him to be filmed in an action movie?" Guli Nazha looked like she was watching the fun and wasn't afraid of any trouble.

Liu Yifei softly recounted what happened. The general meaning was that she told Jiang Heng on the set that it was really difficult to find a suitable male lead for a TV series. Instead of shooting a mediocre work, it would be better to change it into a TV series and create a classic.

Li Xiaoping nodded slightly. In fact, she quite agreed with this.

Since planning to shoot this drama, she has found that the person who fully meets the four conditions of being handsome, having good kung fu, good acting skills and being young is rare, but at least she hasn't found one yet.

Although Jiang Heng is no longer young, fortunately he looks relatively young, so it will be absolutely no problem for him to put on makeup properly.

Plus, she knew that Jiang Heng was skilled in Kung Fu, so she instantly became excited about the movie.

But he said: "If it is adapted into a movie, it will take at least half a year before it can start filming. All the previous talks are in vain!"

Guli Nazha said: "Not necessarily. The TV series is being adapted into a movie, and Director Jiang is starring in it, so the resources are upgraded on the spot! If they continue to use the actors who were previously decided, I think many people are willing to wait!"

Li Xiaoping naturally understood such a simple truth. She said that just now because she didn't want her previous work to be "killed" silently because of the leader's "constant changes of orders"!

"That's true, but those who are suitable for acting in TV dramas may not be suitable for acting in movies. The specific candidates have to be decided by Director Jiang. I will talk to him and then contact those people!"

Li Xiaoping left in a hurry and first called Jiang Heng to confirm the matter.

The next day, he went to the crew of "Jingwei Filling the Sea" with various materials during the preparation period of the TV series "Dragon and Snake Romance".

Jiang Heng took some time to flip through the script and looked at the list of actors that had been decided in advance. He first finalized the candidates for several roles that would definitely appear in the film version and asked Li Xiaoping to go talk to them. He then asked the company to send a team of screenwriters to stay in a hotel near the China Film Digital Base and begin to write the script for the film version of "Dragon and Snake Romance" in seclusion, and report on the progress every few days.

However, as Li Xiaoping talked with some actors about contract termination and contract renewal, the news that "Dragon and Snake Romance" was upgraded from a TV series to a film version gradually spread.

When ordinary celebrities and artists hear this story, they mostly treat it as a curious anecdote.

Because the mainland really hasn't produced a critically acclaimed and commercially successful action movie for many years. Although Wu Jing's previous film "Wolf Warrior 1" had good reputation and box office, it had more military elements rather than a simple action movie!

But to the ears of action stars, it is a rare and great thing.

A number of celebrities have called to inquire and strive for roles; some even said that they are willing to make cameo appearances and not receive any pay, as they just want to make a contribution to "action movies".

Even Ma Yun, who played Ali, called Jiang Heng after hearing the news and expressed her desire to make a cameo appearance as a top master in the film.

"Well, are there any action scenes, or just showing your face?"

"There must be fighting scenes, right? I'm telling you, I've been practicing for many years, there's absolutely no problem. Lian Jie and my bodyguards all said that my Kung Fu is very good!"

Jiang Heng smiled secretly in his heart, they must be praising you! "It's definitely not good for action scenes. It's inevitable to have bumps and bruises when filming. You're going to meet some big shots soon, it's not good to get bruised and swollen!"

Ma Yun was unhappy when he heard this. "Let me tell you, I really have kung fu skills. Even if I really fight, ordinary people can't hurt me, let alone use their moves!"

Jiang Hengxin said, you are just fooling me!

After chatting with this person for a while, Ma Yun realized that she really couldn't act in action scenes. Finally, she said that literary scenes were fine, but her character must be that of a master, a master, and a master of masters!

Jiang Heng said it was no problem, as there were many fighting scenes in the book “Dragon and Snake Romance”, and Ma Yun could be assigned the role of a referee.

Of course, they are like the big brothers of the martial arts sects sitting on the referee's bench in "The King of Destruction", not the referee like Wen Tailai, the Thunder Hand on the ring.

But then again, Ma Yun's cameo appearance is generally more beneficial than harmful, as such a well-known figure does add luster to the film itself.

In addition, there are many action stars whose fame has gradually declined who are willing to participate, such as Qian Xiaohao, Zhao Wenzhuo, etc.

After Jiang Heng talked to them one by one on the phone in his spare time, the matter was settled.

In the blink of an eye, it is late April, and many films that were released during the May Day holiday began to be promoted intensively. "Charlotte's Troubles" is one such film.

If "The Richest Man in Xihong City" had not been released, this movie would definitely be more suitable for the summer season.

However, with the hit of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", its extremely high reputation and box office, the entire film market is looking forward to the second film of the "Happy Twist" team.

After iQiyi, Youku, and Tencent Pictures and Happy Twist team discussed it, they felt that the sooner the film was released, the better, so the film was scheduled to be released on May Day.

In terms of publicity and promotion, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are still fully responsible and have invested a considerable amount of money in online and offline publicity.

What attracted the most attention from the media and the audience was the premiere of "Charlotte's Troubles".

Still at the Olympic venue, Jiang Heng and Zhang Ruolan arrived at the scene together, along with the "Happy Twist" team and some of their friends in the industry.

When these people arrived at the scene, most of them went straight to Jiang Heng.

But a handsome boy with long hair came over. He bent his body slightly, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Director Jiang, thank you very much for choosing me to star in this movie...!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Yuan Hua, no, that Yin Zheng, I heard you performed well in this movie?"

Because almost the entire movie is made by people from "Happy Twist", and iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video mainly provide financial support, Jiang Heng's attention to this movie is far less than that to "The Richest Man in Xihong City".

He has not watched the movie yet since it was completed. Theoretically speaking, he really doesn't know how Yin Zheng performed!

The latter smiled and said, "Everyone said that it was good. I can only say that it's OK. I think I lived up to your selection. Of course, it would be even better if I had the opportunity to receive personal guidance from Director Jiang!"

Jiang Heng patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Act well, you will have another chance in the future!"

Yin Zheng felt as if his bones had lightened by two ounces when he heard this, and asked inexplicably, "Do you have any roles that need guest appearances right now?" (End of this chapter)
