Chapter 786 The Future "Overlord Jiang," a Candidate for Rebel Leader

Jiang Wen?

The young man's self-introduction caused a flash of surprise in Ono Takeshi's eyes, and his gaze immediately fell on the other person.

I glanced at it a few times.

A face that looked much older than his actual age, with strong, angular features and a hint of arrogance in his eyes.

He was tall and rugged, exuding a masculine charm from the inside out.

Simply put, he is a man who looks very "manly".

This was Jiang Wen's first impression of Gui Yewu, reminding him of that arrogant and unruly figure from later generations.

The youthful naiveté and inexperience of the young man before us gradually overlapped with the image of the maverick and talented director of later generations.

After a careful examination, Ono Takeshi confirmed that he had not made a mistake.

Sure enough it was him!

"Xiao Jiang is a very thoughtful young man with great talent in film. I want him to join the film crew to learn, gain experience, and see how high-quality international films are made."

Han Sanping chimed in, his words carrying both flattery for Guiye Wu and protection for Jiang Wen. Although he didn't say it explicitly, it was obvious that Jiang Wen was a "connected person" placed there by the Chinese side.

Oni Takeshi understood immediately, but remained noncommittal.

Han Sanping looked at the silent Gui Yewu with some trepidation. Jiang Wen was recommended by the Beijing circle, and as a fellow member of the Beijing circle, he naturally couldn't refuse.

If it were just some slacker looking to "gild his resume," he might refuse, but Jiang Wen is different. He is a truly talented young man who is appreciated by some veterans in the film and television industry and is being nurtured as a rare talent. Otherwise, he wouldn't be here today.

Han Sanping was aware of this, which is why he agreed to help.

Everyone knows that Takeshi Oni's movie is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, especially for Chinese films, which are still relatively underdeveloped!
According to Han Sanping, the domestic entertainment industry was already in an uproar, and the fact that Jiang Wen was able to get this opportunity shows how much importance he received.

The practice of stuffing people into the film industry is commonplace in various countries, and Han Sanping has a clear conscience, but he is still somewhat worried about upsetting Gui Yewu.

After all, the other party is not some third-rate director without any background, so it's understandable that they would look down on it.

Han Sanping only hoped that this wouldn't cause a rift between the two sides, otherwise it would be a loss.

Both the Chinese side and he himself attach great importance to this opportunity for cooperation.

Seeing that Takeshi Ono still had a blank expression, Han Sanping couldn't help but feel annoyed that those bigwigs in the Beijing entertainment circle were being presumptuous, applying their domestic methods to a world-class director like Takeshi Ono.

Just as he was about to say something, Guiye Wu suddenly smiled and extended his hand to Jiang Wen: "I know Mr. Jiang. Your acting in 'A Native of Yanjing in New York' was very good!"

Looking at the hand extended in front of him, Jiang Wen froze, as if he couldn't believe his ears. It wasn't until Han Sanping quietly nudged him that he snapped out of his daze, quickly grasped Gui Yewu's hands with both of his, and became somewhat incoherent with excitement:

"Hello, Director Takeshi Onino! You are my idol!"

Han Sanping was also somewhat surprised. He didn't expect that Gui Yewu would know Jiang Wen, and that he could immediately name the TV series that Jiang Wen had just released, which was obviously not just made up.

He immediately became happy, and seeing that Oni Takeshi was not angry, he was relieved.

At this moment, Jiang Wen was overjoyed, his dark face flushed with excitement. Gui Yewu's approval filled him with surprise and delight.

Even with Jiang Wen's arrogance, he couldn't maintain his composure in front of Gui Yewu.

He is currently just starting out. Although he has made a name for himself in the Chinese film and television industry with films such as "Hibiscus Town," "Red Sorghum," and "Spring Peach," and the recently released TV series "A Native of Yanjing in New York" has made him a national sensation, his fame is still limited to China. Moreover, these achievements are completely insignificant compared to Oni Takeshi.

Although Jiang Wen was proud, he was not arrogant. Even in his later years, when he achieved great success, he could not compare to Gui Yewu, let alone him when he was just starting out.

Moreover, Jiang Wen, who has always dreamed of becoming a director, has indeed made Oni Takeshi his idol and the goal he strives to reach.

Having received affirmation from his idol, the still hot-blooded Jiang Wen naturally could not contain his excitement.

Seeing Jiang Wen's excited expression, Gui Yewu smiled to himself. He never expected that the "Overlord Jiang" who would never submit to anyone in the future would actually be his "fan".

His gaze lingered on the other person's face, and the more he looked, the more satisfied he became.

Jiang Wen is definitely a unique figure in the Chinese film industry. With his extraordinary talent, he constantly pushes the boundaries of creation in multiple dimensions, including screenwriting, directing, and acting.

He is one of the few top-tier directors in China who can achieve a balance between artistic merit and commercial appeal in his films.

His artistic style combines wild romance with deep contemplation. Whether it is his explosive power as an actor or his creativity as a screenwriter and director, it reveals a strong personal imprint.

This person seems to have an innate "wildness," breaking conventions and not being bound by rules and regulations.

And this wildness is exactly what Oni Takeshi needs.

The moment he recognized Jiang Wen, a thought popped into his mind—

Let Jiang Wen play the rebel leader!
Jiang Wen has a rugged appearance, with an indomitable and ruthless spirit between his brows. He will always be able to portray those gangster-like characters with great depth and leave a deep impression on the audience.

If Jiang Wen were to play the rebel leader, he would be very suitable in terms of appearance, temperament, and acting skills.

The only problem was that young Jiang Wen was rather thin, and his fair, beardless face still had a delicate appearance, unlike the "tough guy" he would become later.

However, these problems can be solved by gaining weight and using makeup; it's not a big deal.

Upon hearing that Oni Takeshi actually wanted him to play a role, Jiang Wen was stunned and couldn't come to his senses for a long time, as if he couldn't believe that such a huge pie would fall into his lap.

Han Sanping, standing to the side, had a strange expression, especially after hearing that Gui Yewu had invited Jiang Wen to play the role of "rebel leader".

Jiang Wen, who was new to the job, was unaware of this, but he knew that the importance of this role was almost no less than that of another major supporting character, Liu Peiqiang.

That role was played by Jet Li, the "Kung Fu Emperor"!
What qualifications does Jiang Wen, a newcomer to the world, possess?
However, upon further reflection, I realized that Takeshi Ono has a unique style of using amateurs, and I felt relieved.

Compared to others, Jiang Wen is at least not a complete novice.

Shocked, I couldn't help but marvel at Jiang Wen's good fortune in being chosen by Gui Yewu at first glance!
Han Sanping secretly breathed a sigh of relief, having exceeded expectations in fulfilling the "tasks" assigned by the bigwigs in Beijing's elite circles.

There's not much to say after that. Jiang Wen naturally couldn't refuse Oni Takeshi's invitation. After regaining his senses, he immediately accepted with excitement, looking like he couldn't wait.

Originally, he only intended to come in to gain experience and broaden his horizons. The film and television environment in China is still relatively backward and closed. According to Jiang Wen's idea, the best opportunity would be to become a script supervisor or something similar. He never expected to be favored by Gui Yewu and invited to play a role!

When Jiang Wen later learned about the role and importance of the "rebel leader," he was both shocked and excited.

'I must play this role well and show Director Onino my abilities!'

Jiang Wen made up his mind in his heart.
