Chapter 355: Wolf Warriors starts filming
Not long after "Under One Man" was launched, "Wolf Warrior" was also about to be launched.
Wu Jing visited the crew before the press conference of the new film and wanted to invite Jiang Heng to play a guest role.
"Well, Director Jiang, I know you are very busy, but you also know that military films with realistic themes are really not popular, and they still need your support! Besides, you basically got the investment of 200 million yuan. of!"
The film "Wolf Warrior" has three investors: Aiyouteng Pictures, the Television Art Center of the Political Department of the Jinling Military Region, and Chengfeng International Pictures under the name of Wu Jing.
The latter two companies really couldn't afford much money, so Aiyouteng's investment accounted for the vast majority.
Of course, the copyright of the film belongs to Aiyouteng Pictures.
Hearing this, Jiang Heng looked somewhat embarrassed.
He is naturally very busy on weekdays.
As for the time, it’s not that I can’t squeeze it out, but I just don’t think this film is particularly good and I’m considering whether to make a guest appearance.
Of course, if it were a film like "Wolf Warrior 2" or "Operation Red Sea", Jiang Heng would not mind making a cameo in the film to show off his skills.
"Well, it won't waste too much time. One or two days will be enough, and the filming can be completed in one day!" Wu Jing "humblely" asked for help.
He is a kung fu star. When he debuted, he followed Jet Li's path to fame and directly played the male lead in movies.
It's a pity that I missed the heyday of kung fu movies. The movies I made were just routine and didn't make any splash at all. Later, I became involved in the TV industry or made guest appearances in movies.
In this life, with Jiang Heng's support, he starred in many "Journey to the West" films, gaining a lot of fame, status, and money.
However, he plays the role of Sun Wukong and requires makeup. You may not be able to see his true appearance after watching the movie.
Therefore, he can only be regarded as a second-tier star until now. He cannot be compared with Huang Xiaoming, who also starred in Jiang Heng's films.
Naturally, he has made other movies in the past few years, but the problem is that they are all small and medium-budget action movies, and their market performance is average.
If you want to make progress, you need to find a new way. He only got the idea of making a war movie after watching "The Company" became a hit.
Considering that except for Jiang Heng, no domestic director has dabbled in military action films in recent years, he decided to direct and act in it himself and promote himself.
Fortunately, with the good cooperation in the past few years, we were able to get a huge investment of nearly 200 million from Jiang Heng. That was really unexpected.
It is said that Xu Ke wanted to attract investment from Jiang Heng to film "Seven Swords", but he was rejected immediately!
Other directors from Hong Kong and the Mainland came to solicit investment, and 30 to 50 million yuan was just enough.
He was an action actor with no directing experience, and he came up with a project as big as 200 million yuan.
While I was excited, I was also really nervous.
What I didn’t say was that I would try my best to make the film a success.
To this end, he has used all the contacts he has been able to use over the years.
Wu Yanzu was his "nephew" when he was studying at Shichahai Martial Arts School. He has always had a good relationship with him. Now he is an "international superstar", but he has always been in contact with him.
Wu Jing saved his face and called for help.
Wu Yanzu did not agree immediately, but first asked about the shooting time, and finally said, I will go back to Xiangjiang during the May Day holiday, and I will go see you then and make a guest appearance by the way!
When Wu Jing heard this, he thanked him for his kindness without mentioning it.
Later, he contacted Huang Xiaoming and told him his request.
Brother Xiao Ming agreed without saying anything, which was very straightforward.
In fact, even in another time and space, the relationship between these two people is not bad.
When Leader Huang got married, Wu Jing was among the best men.
But in this life, because they have both starred in Jiang Heng's films and collaborated in "Legend of Soldiers", their relationship is naturally better.
Although the cast looks very strong and the film's budget is also very high, Wu Jing is still a little unsure.
It was fine when I was preparing, but the closer I got to the start, the more panicked I became.
In the end, he couldn't hold it back and ran over to ask Jiang Heng to make a guest appearance.
He was thinking in his mind, Director Jiang even made a guest appearance in a low-budget film like "The Journey", this is a big project worth 200 million yuan! All I spent is your money!
Seeing the anxious expression on his face, Jiang Heng estimated that if he really refused, his mentality might collapse.
Still said: "Okay, I will play a guest role. What role are you going to arrange for me?"
"King of Soldiers, okay? One can fight ten of them!"
Jiang Heng smiled and thought to himself, is the novel "The King of Soldiers" popular now? I really didn’t pay attention to this!
"You are the protagonist, and you should be the one with the highest strength in the whole film!"
Wu Jing chuckled, "You can play the role of my instructor. You will only appear in my memories and teach me all kinds of powerful tactics and fighting skills. For example, when I am fighting against an opponent's master, I will think of something you once did. I couldn’t do difficult moves before, but this time I did it instantly!”
Jiang Heng laughed, "When a master fights, every second counts. You still have time to think about that!"
But having said that, Wu Jing's idea is not a bad one. After all, it would be too bad for him to play a rookie with average strength or to die in battle.
It's really good to play Wu Jing's former instructor, and it's easy to explain his high level of strength.
As for why such a powerful person would stay in the ordinary army, it is up to the director and screenwriter to explain.
Jiang Heng agreed to make a cameo, which boosted Wu Jing's confidence.
He immediately returned to the crew, and within a few days, the crew of "Wolf Warrior" held a new film press conference and opening ceremony in Jinling.
At the press conference, Wu Jing expressed his gratitude to Jiang Heng for supporting the film, and then said that director Jiang Heng participated in the film and played a mysterious master in the film.
This aroused the curiosity of the media.
Jiang Heng has actually made many cameo appearances in recent years, which is not very rare.
The movies he starred in were "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "White Snake: Origin" released one after another.
However, Ning Caichen and Xu Xuan were both scumbags, and Jiang Heng's strength was not shown at all.
It is said that when Jiang Heng made a cameo appearance in "Hero", the battle with Jet Li has always been talked about by fans.
The Erlang Shen Yang Jian played in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" is also handsome and capable of fighting, which makes countless girls obsessed.
However, Jiang Heng does not seem to be particularly attentive to the path of an actor. He obviously has kung fu that is not inferior to Jet Li, but he is unwilling to shoot action movies, which makes countless fans quite regretful.
It should be noted that at the moment, the Chinese-language film market has seen Jet Li cut production and Jackie Chan is also a bit exhausted, so there is a lack of talent!
"Director Wu Jing, are you telling the truth? Will Director Jiang star in this movie?" A reporter couldn't help but ask loudly.
"Of course!"
"Then why didn't he attend?" Someone asked directly.
"Well, as everyone knows, Director Jiang is currently filming and time is very tight, so he couldn't come to the press conference, but he will definitely star in the film, so please rest assured!" Wu Jing explained hurriedly.
People didn't suspect Wu Jing would lie in public, they just wanted to confirm it.
Fortunately, Jiang Heng was really helpful. Later on, he posted a photo of the start of "Wolf Warrior" on Weibo, with the caption: "I am a master!"
