Huayu special effects started in 97

After eating and drinking, both parties went their separate ways.

Jiang Heng and Liu Yifei had both been drinking, so a driver and bodyguard came to pick them up.

As soon as the two came on stage, Liu Tianxian couldn't help but laugh and said, "What did you think, letting Uncle Benshan play the hero?"

"Don't you think he's very master-like?"

"Yes, but he is too old. You even suggested that he shoot action scenes. I can't even imagine what the resulting scenes will look like!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, it will definitely beat most of the martial arts dramas in China!"

Speaking of the first and second parts of "Legend of the Magpie Blade Gate", they were indeed made with great care, with muddy roads, patched clothes, and clean and neat action scenes, not as outrageous as those costume idol dramas.

For this collaboration, Jiang Heng plans to let Yuen Wah be the action director.

He and his senior brother Yuande have been working with Jiang Heng for more than ten years and have already bought a house and settled down in Beijing.

It's just that he filmed too many action scenes in his early years and suffered many injuries, so he paid more attention to maintenance. His workload has been reduced a lot in recent years, but he still has no problem directing "Legend of the Magpie Blade Gate".

After arriving home, Jiang Heng took a shower first, then returned to the bedroom and found Liu Yifei still reading the script of "Dragon and Snake Romance".

"Not so hard, right?"

"As for me, I'm almost 30 years old, and my best years are almost over. After this drama is finished, I don't know when I will have such good resources and such a suitable role. I must treat it with all my heart!"

Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard this, thinking that it seemed to make some sense.

With so many female confidantes, it is indeed impossible to put all your resources on one person. It is unrealistic.

Judging from her experiences in her previous life, after Liu Tianxian turned 30, she only had one movie, "Mulan", which had a box office of only 2.78 million yuan in mainland China and a Douban score of only 4.9 points.

So, in fact, most of the popular stars are anxious.

They are afraid that one day they will no longer be famous and no one will beg them to act.

Huang Xiaoming once said in front of the media that after he turned 40, suddenly no one asked him to film a movie anymore.

But this is the reality. In the film and television industry, the old are replaced by the new, and it is normal for older people to gradually not get any roles.

Like Hong Kong movies, the same faces appear over and over again, no wonder they are abandoned by the audience!

Seeing how hard she was working, Jiang Heng sat down and explained the play to her seriously. When she became interested, the two of them began to rehearse the play and were busy until late at night before going to bed.

The next day, Jiang Heng did not go to the company, but called Li Xiaoping and sent her a plot outline document of "Legend of Que Dao Men", asking her to arrange a screenwriter team to write the script.

After learning the whole story, Li Xiaoping couldn't help but sigh that Jiang Heng's thinking was too broad. He let Zhao Benshan play a martial arts drama, and as the top master in the film, with a lot of fighting scenes. It really makes her feel surprised just thinking about it!

The screenwriter department was also confused after receiving this task.

Fortunately, I have written various scripts over the years, so I have a strong ability to adapt and I got into the state quickly.

Jiang Heng continued to polish the script of "The Legend of Dragon and Snake" while paying attention to the preparations for the film, including costumes, props, and scenery that needed to be built during filming.

During this period, the movie "The Return of the Great Sage" had been released for 30 days and had been taken off the shelves in major theaters.

In terms of box office performance, the mainland market closed at 34.1 billion RMB (5.33 million USD), which is far less than the 2 billion of "The Three-Body Problem 46.7", but it is still a pretty good result. In North America, it took in 2.63 million USD, which is completely incomparable to the previous peak works, but it is not difficult to enter the top ten of the annual box office list.

Because the box office performance in the mainland market is high enough, the global box office performance of "The Return of the Great Sage" is still quite impressive, reaching 15.8 billion US dollars so far.

Taking into account the additional box office revenue later on, it will not be a problem to exceed 16 billion US dollars, and the global annual box office ranking is expected to rank among the top five.

The first place is "The Three-Body Problem 2" which was released at the beginning of the year!

That is to say, in 2015, which is just over half of the past, the global box office performance of Jiang Heng's two films is expected to reach 50 billion US dollars.

If converted into RMB, it is more than 30 billion, which is a number that makes many people dizzy.

With such a high box office, how much does Jiang Heng have to earn!

Some self-media bloggers have begun to popularize science online.

It was said that box office sharing was only a part of the film's revenue, and that it also included peripheral development, TV network on-demand, CDs and video tapes, etc., and that it was a steady source of income, which once again shocked countless Chinese people.

CCTV media was also very interested in the 5 billion US dollars global box office data and filmed a program team to conduct interviews.

Since the filming of "Dragon and Snake Romance" was about to start, Jiang Heng was happy to have free publicity, so he gladly accepted it.

"So what were your considerations for making this film?"

After talking about "The Three-Body Problem 2" and "The Return of the Great Sage", the topic finally came to "The Legend of Dragon and Snake".

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "On the one hand, I have practiced martial arts for many years, and I also want to make a film that can show my kung fu level. But more importantly, I want to use this film to let more foreign audiences know, understand and like China, and promote our traditional culture...!"

The reporters laughed happily when they heard this, because Jiang Heng's words were very much in line with the media's requirements.

The key reason why Jiang Heng can maintain such a huge influence in China is that his films are subtly exporting Chinese culture to audiences around the world.

Apart from anything else, the artistic image of "Sun Wukong" alone has been loved by adult audiences and children in many countries!

"Many people in the entertainment industry have always said that Director Jiang is the real number one expert, and I believe the rumors are true.

So here, can you show us your best boxing skills? "

Jiang Heng smiled and said yes.

In fact, he also knew that it would take a long time to perform a set of boxing moves, and he was being interviewed by a news program, so some of his scenes must have been edited in the end, but he still performed a set of "Fanzi Quan".

Jiang Heng was in his prime, tall and slender, with a handsome face and graceful movements, even better than the young Jet Li.

After a set of boxing moves, the beautiful CCTV reporter's eyes lit up.

"Too beautiful, Director Jiang. To be honest, I had always doubted the rumor. But until I saw it just now, I realized that your kung fu is so good. I believe that the upcoming "Dragon and Snake Romance" will be another pinnacle masterpiece in the field of Chinese-language action movies..."

The beautiful reporter said a lot of compliments, but Jiang Heng just smiled modestly and was then sent away by his assistant Cui Zhenzhen.

Liu Yifei, who was standing by, also looked dazed. "I didn't even see you practice, how can you be so good?"

Jiang Heng said with a chuckle: "God has given me this gift, there is nothing I can do about it!" (End of this chapter)
