China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Jiang Heng laughed, "Okay, it's not easy during the Spring Festival travel rush anyway!"

After hanging up the phone, Miss Jing Tian asked curiously, "Are you going to make a cameo again?"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, "At Bona, Lao Yu made a movie and asked me to help him support the scene! After all, I am also a major shareholder of Bona, there is no reason not to agree!"

The little sister said, "Then I want to go too, we play a couple!"

Jiang Heng wanted to say that I was acting in my true colors and playing myself in the film.

But he swallowed it back halfway through.

He was afraid that Jing Tian would ask him, aren't we a couple now?

"Okay, when we are ready to shoot, I will take you there!"

Hangzhou in May has a pleasant scenery. Jiang Heng took Da Tiantian to visit Xixi Wetland and then went to eat crayfish.

The next day, he flew to the southwest with the crew to shoot the film's exterior scenes. By the end of May, all the scenes were shot and the film was completed.

After returning to Beijing, Jiang Heng took a two-day break and went to the crew of Lost on Journey alone to shoot the scenes of encountering at the airport and on the plane.

Jing Tian wanted to make a cameo appearance at first, but Jiang Heng showed her the script and explained the joke-setting techniques of the play.

He said that if an actor and an actress were to make a cameo appearance together, the scene designed by the director would probably be, Niu Geng said to Li Chenggong: Hey, do you think they slept together?

Li Chenggong said: Don't talk nonsense!

Niu Geng said, I guess they must have slept together!

Li Chenggong asked back, how can you be so sure?

Niu Geng said: Not many directors...!

Jing Tian laughed after hearing this, and then stopped mentioning the cameo appearance.

Because in her opinion, it was really a bit of a loss of face to make a cameo appearance.

But such a scene was indeed fun. If it was just an appearance at the airport or in the cabin, it would be a bit bland, so it would be better not to make a cameo appearance.

Jiang Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, after all, his girlfriend in public is now Liu Yifei.

It can't be said to be an official announcement, mainly because he attended many occasions with Liu Yifei before, many friends in the industry know about it, and the media have also reported it.

It's okay to play a couple with Jing Tian, ​​but it's not good to use real names to guest play a couple again.

When he arrived at the crew, director Ye Weimin warmly welcomed him. He is from Hong Kong and has directed films such as "The King of Variety" and "Hongxing Thirteen Sisters".

He himself is not very famous. After entering the 21st century, his work has become more and more difficult. He even took on a low-cost film like "Lost on Journey" without any big names.

At this moment, the fame of all the main creators in the film is not as big as Jiang Heng's. How can everyone not be enthusiastic?

But this crew is also a crouching tiger, hidden dragon. In addition to Xu Zheng and Wang Baoqi who will shine in the future, screenwriter Tian Yusheng is also a talent.

The Douban score of the "Ex-Boyfriend" series he wrote and directed was not high, but the box office was really good and it was still quite popular among young people.

Jiang Heng thought this person was quite talented, but not as ambitious as the others.

So after joining the crew, he talked to Tian Yusheng and asked if he was interested in joining iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures.

Tian Yusheng was naturally overjoyed. He was unknown in the Chinese film industry at that time, and it was a step up to the sky to win Jiang Heng's favor.

Look at the new director Guo Fan, who was just a reporter two years ago, but now he has become a blockbuster director. The "A Chinese Ghost Story" he directed will be released in the summer in more than a month. I don't know how many people envy and hate him!

Jiang Heng then asked him if he was interested in being a director himself?

Tian Yusheng was a little surprised and excited, and swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

A screenwriter who doesn't want to be a director is definitely not a good screenwriter!

Tian Yusheng naturally said yes, Jiang Heng patted him on the shoulder and told him to work hard in the future, and when the film was finished, he would go to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures to sign a contract.

Tian Yusheng wanted to cry when he heard this, because he wanted to go now.

It would take at least more than a month to wait for the film to be finished!

The general filming cycle of domestic movies is basically about three months.

Blockbusters will take a little longer, and small and medium-cost films will take a shorter time.

The filming difficulty of "Lost on Journey" was not that great, and it took more than two months at most.

Jiang Heng chatted with Wang Baoqi again and asked about his development in the circle over the years.

Wang Baoqi looked very honest, but he actually had a high EQ and was very good at talking. His intention to join the team was very obvious, but Jiang Heng smiled and encouraged him, but he didn't respond to this.

Yu Dong was a little confused, and asked Jiang Heng privately, why didn't he sign him if he was so optimistic about him?

Jiang Heng smiled and shook his head, saying that Wang Baoqi's image was not suitable for playing in his special effects blockbusters, so why did he sign him? You can't let him play Tu Xingsun, right? That would offend people.

Besides, Wang Baoqi's current contract is with Huayi, and in 2012, he withdrew from Huayi and set up his own studio, so signing him is not very meaningful.

In fact, in the following years, celebrities have set up their own studios, and the previous agency model has become outdated.

Jiang Heng didn't say one thing, that he really liked the movie "Hello! Mr. Tree" played by Wang Baoqi, and before the movie was released, he didn't intend to interfere with Wang Baoqi's development.

One more thing to mention is that in history, the production company of "Hello! Mr. Tree" was headed by Bonna Pictures, and the top producer was Yu Dong, what a coincidence!

On the set, Xu Zheng made a lot of suggestions, and even said that some clever jokes were thought of by him. He really has talent, but Jiang Heng's reaction was always cold.

This made Xu Guangtou confused, and he always felt that Jiang Heng seemed to have some opinions about him, but he didn't know why.

It is said that Jiang Heng's role would not be used for the whole morning, but he stayed in the crew for two full days before leaving.

After returning to Beijing, he began to work on the promotion of "A Chinese Ghost Story".

The promotion of the film is still handled by Bonanza Films. Although Yu Dong has always been focused on "Lost on Journey", after all, the producer is not the director, so he does not need to stay in the crew every day.

Moreover, Bonanza Films is now the largest film and television promotion company in China, with rich experience, and many things can be done according to routine operations.

For example, the promotion activities of the film all have routine templates, and they can be used in the past.

Moreover, the film "A Chinese Ghost Story" is really easy to promote.

Jiang Heng is the leading actor, which is rare.

And with a national goddess like Liu Yifei, plus a remake of a classic, 3D special effects, and summer season.

It can be said that Bonanza Films can achieve its work goals with just a little promotion.

Besides, there are only so many conventional routines, and Director Jiang doesn't want to stir up scandals, so there's really nothing special about it.

The film's release date is still the second Friday in July, and the premiere is scheduled for Sunday, July 5.

Considering that there are not so many main creative staff in this film, and the plot is not very complicated.

This time, Jiang Heng didn't want to make the premiere ceremony so grand.

The premiere location was chosen at the Wukesong branch of the China Film Red Cinema Line, and it was still the routine of setting up a stage in the square and going into the cinema to watch the movie after being interviewed.
