Huayu started by playing Lao Ai

Chapter 145 Heroes of Heaven and Earth
After filming the last scene in the morning, Zheng Jing took off her makeup and took a car to the airport and headed to Hengdian World Studios.

There was already a group of crew members who had arrived in Hengdian earlier, so Zheng Jing could just go over and join them.

This time, Zhu Zhu is with Zheng Jing.

This little beauty had no more roles to play a few days ago, so she can go to Hengdian first.

But she refused to leave and insisted on riding in Zheng Jing's car and going with him.

After getting in the car, Zhu Zhu suddenly said, "Teacher Zheng, did you have sex with Li Yinxin?

Whenever she chatted with me these days, she always regarded herself as someone who had experienced it.

Teased me for being inexperienced and calling myself a young girl.

After thinking about it, I think the one who can give her experience is definitely you."

Seeing Zhu Zhu's curious look, Zheng Jing said calmly, "My mother won't ask who I have sex with.

You are meddling too much.”

Hearing Zheng Jing say this, Zhu Zhu suddenly sat on Zheng Jing's thighs.

Although she is still a little green, she has good talent and her butt is elastic and round.

A young body is full of youthful vitality.

Holding Zheng Jing's neck, Zhu Zhu said coquettishly: "I'm just curious~ Tell me, I won't tell anyone else."

During these days of filming on the set, Zhu Zhu also became familiar with Zheng Jing.

Other actors might feel a little reserved when interacting with Zheng Jing, but Zhu Zhu never does.

Zheng Jing stretched out his left arm and put it around Zhu Zhu's waist, then lifted her up easily and let her sit back in her seat.

"The 21st century is an information society, and information is the most valuable. Especially confidential information like this, I cannot just tell you casually."

When Zheng Jing said this, Zhu Zhu burst into laughter.

On the one hand, she was amazed at Zheng Jing's strength, as he could easily lift her up with one hand, and he was indeed a tough guy who could shoot the halberd at the gate;

On the other hand, I also got the answer I wanted.

Although Zheng Jing did not admit it, he did not deny it either.

Many things exist as long as you don't deny them.

Zhu Zhu moved her butt and this time did not sit on Zheng Jing's legs, but leaned close to him.

She smiled and said, "Xinxin told me that she was going to study in the United States and invited me to go with her.

Do you think I should go?

I had already taken the TOEFL, but had been hesitating whether to study abroad.

I always feel lonely in the United States."

Zheng Jing looked at Zhu Zhu and said, "You should ask your family for their opinions on this matter."

Hearing this, Zhu Zhu subconsciously rolled his eyes and said, "No one in my family cares about me now, I can make my own decisions."

Seeing that Zheng Jing didn't say anything, Zhu Zhu took his arm and started talking about her family.

“My happiest time was when I was in fifth or sixth grade in elementary school. I was extremely happy then.

I have endless ice cream to eat every day, and my grandparents spoil me at home..."

As Zhu Zhu continued her story, Zheng Jing also understood that her family had not been doing well in the past two years and it seemed like they were in decline.

Her father did not go into politics or join the army, but chose to do business and founded New World Ice Cream.

New World Ice Cream was once prosperous for a few years and made a lot of money.

However, as foreign brands such as Walls and Baskin-Robbins entered the Yanjing market, New Continent was unable to compete. Now the company is running out of money and is on the verge of bankruptcy.

Zhu Zhu's grandfather passed away last November.

The old man was the backbone of the family, and with his departure, 70% to 80% of the official favor he had with him disappeared.

The situation at home is not as good as before.

Seeing Zhu Zhu's worried look, Zheng Jing directly complained: "At least you still have the ability to study in the United States. This condition is better than 99.99% of the people in China. Don't look so sad."

Zhu Zhu: “…”

Zhu Zhu angrily hit Zheng Jing on the arm and said coquettishly: "You are such a boring person. I said all this just to create opportunities for you, didn't I?"

Zheng Jing smiled and said jokingly, “A beautiful woman is sad, and it is a good opportunity to take advantage of her heart to comfort her.

But I don’t need it.”

The words "I don't need it" made Zhu Zhu very angry.

She sat on the left side angrily, far away from Zheng Jing, and deliberately turned her head to look out the window.

Zhu Zhu wanted Zheng Jing to coax her, but she found that Zheng Jing was leaning on the car seat with his eyes closed, and he ignored her completely.

I couldn't help but feel helpless.

She muttered, "If anyone tells me that Zheng Jing is unfaithful again, I will be the first to refute it! You are really like a cold stone, no matter how hard you try, you can't warm it up."

Zheng Jing replied: "You are still too young, too young in every aspect. Try to protect it in two years."

Zhu Zhu got the response and she was no longer angry. She said: "I can play Chen A Jiao, how can I be young?
Many of the girls in our class have found boyfriends. "

Zheng Jing closed his eyes again and said nothing more.

Zhu Zhu is different from Jing Tian, Bai Lue and Liu Yifei. They are really nurtured and have deeper feelings for each other.

Zheng Jing understands Zhu Zhu's personality. Although she is so enthusiastic, it is actually just the curiosity and desire to show off of a rebellious girl.

It's okay to be curious, but it's not good to show off.

After all, Zhu Zhu is old enough. If something really happened, she would show off everywhere, which would be a problem for Zheng Jing.

Play is play, but you still need to pay attention.

Zhu Zhu said a few more words, but seeing that Zheng Jing didn't respond, she stopped talking.

He just took out his phone and tapped around, not knowing what he was planning.

The two arrived at the airport, met up with several other actors, flew to Yiwu Airport together, and then transferred to Hengdian Film and Television City.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the crew, Zheng Jing was stopped by three men.

Standing in the front was our old acquaintance Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen smiled and said, "Boss Zheng, I finally got you!

Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Chen Guofu, Director of the Asian Production Department of Columbia Pictures, and this is Director He Ping. "

He Ping and Chen Guofu both wore glasses, both were in their forties, one was rough and serious, the other was more elegant. The two stood together, one from the north and one from the south, with very different temperaments, and at first glance they looked uncoordinated.

After a few pleasantries, everyone went to a lounge of the crew.

After sitting down, Jiang Wen got straight to the point and said, "We are preparing a movie called "Heroes of Heaven and Earth". This time I came to Hengdian specifically to find you and invite you to star in this movie."

In fact, Jiang Wen and his two companions came to Hengdian mainly to explore filming locations.

Inviting Zheng Jing to play the role was just a coincidence.

After the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Columbia Pictures increased its investment in Chinese-language films.

They first invited Chen Guofu to serve as the director of the Asia production department, and then began to investigate the project.

Because Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is a martial arts film, Columbia Pictures' investment priority is still martial arts films.

After a round of inspection, they decided that the first blockbuster they invested in was not Zhang Yi's "Hero".

But He Ping’s “Hero of Heaven and Earth”.

Among mainland directors, He Ping is second to none in shooting martial arts films.

The film "Swordsman of Shuangqi Town" he shot was a great success in both box office and critical acclaim, and will still be regarded by many as the best western martial arts film in China.

In contrast, Zhang Yi has not proven himself in commercial films.

Columbia Pictures was very optimistic about He Ping's talent. Not only did they give him money to make a movie, they also hired him as an artistic consultant for the Asia region.

Hearing the words "hero of heaven and earth", Zheng Jing asked calmly, "What role exactly? I need to read the script first."

Jiang Wen took out the script, handed it to Zheng Jing, and said with a smile: "I already know your habits, this is the script.

Let me make it clear first, this script is a story that Director He has been thinking about for more than ten years, and I can't change it.

We want you to play the villain in the movie, the gangster Zi'an."

The personalities in the entertainment industry are sometimes very useful.

One of Zheng Jing’s character traits is that he is a “drama fanatic”.

Everyone in the circle believes that as long as Zheng Jing likes the role, he is willing to play it, whether it is a good guy or a bad guy.

The movie Heroes of Heaven and Earth had an investment of 1 million yuan in publicity, but the actual investment was 8000 million yuan.

Such a huge investment would definitely not be possible relying solely on the domestic film market.

This film has been targeting the overseas market since the project was launched.

Zheng Jing is now well-known in the United States and Japan. He has excellent acting skills and can ride horses and shoot arrows.

So the crew of Heroes of Heaven and Earth came to us on their own initiative.

Seeing that Zheng Jing didn’t say anything, Chen Guofu introduced the Heroes of Heaven and Earth project, and then said, “Mr. Zheng, if you don’t like the core story of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, you should like Heroes of Heaven and Earth.

Director He Ping's films have a strong western style and are full of masculinity. "

Zheng Jing nodded and said, "You guys drink tea first, I'll take a look at the script."

Zheng Jing read the script at a glance and didn't know how to complain about it.

This script is similar to the content of a future movie. It tells the story of Li Xiaowei, a border guard in the Tang Dynasty, who was unwilling to kill Turkic prisoners and disobeyed military orders, and was therefore hunted down by the court.

While fleeing, he was rescued by a team returning from India with Buddhist scriptures.

This team contains the Buddha's relics. Whoever obtains the relics can command the thirty-six countries in the Western Regions.

So Captain Li decided to escort the pilgrim team to Chang'an. In the process of forming the team, he met Japanese guards, old subordinates and an old swordsman.

The opponent was the bandit Zi'an, who was hired by the Turks to seize the relics.

After a fight, the bandits and the Turks won.

Finally, the Buddha's relics emitted golden light and killed Zi'an and the Turkic Khan.

The pilgrim team then delivered the relics to Chang'an.

After all this trouble, the protagonist team might as well not come, because the Buddha's relics will take action anyway.

"I don't like this role, you should find someone else to play it."

Hearing Zheng Jing's refusal, He Ping advised: "The gangster Zi'an is also the protagonist, and he defeated the male protagonist and his group. This character is very attractive."

Zheng Jing shook his head and asked, "Have you ever heard the story of Yuchi Sheng?"

He Ping and the other two remained silent.

Zheng Jing continued, “Yuchi Sheng was the king of the Buddhist kingdom of Khotan in the Western Regions. During the An-Shi Rebellion, the Tang Dynasty was in a critical situation.

Yuchi Sheng let his brother serve as regent, and he led 5000 troops to rush to the Tang Dynasty to help it quell the Anshi Rebellion.

After suppressing the rebellion, he asked Emperor Daizong of Tang, Li Yu, to pass the throne to his younger brother.

He stayed in Chang'an.

It is better to be a general of the Tang Dynasty than a king of the Western Regions. This is the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Dynasty conquered the Western Regions first with its powerful army, and then with its strong economic and cultural influence.

It is definitely not a Buddha relic.

There are some fundamental problems with this script. Director He, are you willing to change the script?"

He Ping shook his head and insisted, "I have been thinking about this script for nearly 20 years, and the story of the Swordsman in Shuangqi Town is an excerpt from the script."

Hearing this, Zheng Jing said: “Then we can’t cooperate for the time being.

Director He, you also graduated from Xi'an Film Studio. If you need me in the future, you can always come to me."

Zheng Jing still recognized He Ping's talent.

He always believed that this was the most suitable director to film Gu Long's novels.

It is definitely possible to capture the artistic conception of Gu Long's martial arts novels perfectly.

But shooting blockbusters is not what He Ping is good at.

His talent in picture arrangement and martial arts movements is more suitable for shooting small characters from different angles.

Every director has his own style.

He Ping used his talent in the wrong place when filming Heroes of Heaven and Earth, and thus suffered the biggest Waterloo in his life.

The final box office of Heroes of Heaven and Earth was only 4000 million, with very little overseas box office and negligible copyright income, and the investors lost a lot of money.

The film industry is very realistic. After the huge loss of Heroes of Heaven and Earth, He Ping was terminated by Columbia Pictures. After that, like Zhou Xiaowen, he no longer had any good film resources.

Zheng Jing planned to sign He Ping to the company after he failed, and specialize in making western-style martial arts films or martial arts films adapted from Gu Long's novels.
