China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Jing Tian's defense was broken instantly, and he pouted and said, "Oh, I just missed you, so I came back to see you and ask about the heroine!"

Knowing that the other "opponents" would come one after another, Jing Tian did not dare to waste time and directly stated his purpose.

Jiang Heng deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, after talking for so long, it's still because of the role. I'm sad!"

Jing Tian felt a little guilty when he heard this, and came over to kiss Jiang Heng on the face, "Then I'll finish this movie and come back to continue to be your assistant, okay?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "That's more like it!"

"So, you agreed to let me play the female lead in the American version?"

Jiang Heng said, "Hey, I didn't say that. Such a big thing, how can it be decided so easily!"

Jing Tian snorted and said, "The American version is just more influential in Hollywood and Europe. It is definitely not as good as the one you shot in the global film market. I think you decided to choose Reba to play the female lead easily!"

Jiang Heng looked embarrassed when he heard this. Well, because I thought the female lead in this film was just a tool person at the time, and there were not many outstanding places, so the selection was a bit casual.

How did you choose Reba at that time? It seems that you thought her face was exotic, and she hadn't starred in a big production for a long time, so this is probably what you considered.

"Well, the script hasn't come out yet, and the female lead's character hasn't been determined, so of course we can't make a hasty decision!"

Jing Tian thought this made sense, and sighed, "Okay, then you promise me that you'll consider me first, okay!"

Jiang Heng smiled and touched her little head, "That's for sure!"

Then he asked Jing Tian how she was doing in the variety show group during this period.

When they were chatting happily, the door opened, and it was Liu Yifei who came.

"Oh, you came back so quickly this time!" Liu Yifei put the bag in her hand on the sofa, smiling and saying.

Jing Tian was not in a hurry. He stood up and said with a smile, "It's close. You were filming in Hengdian, but you came back so soon!"

Liu Yifei snorted and didn't answer. Instead, she asked Jiang Heng, "How about we go eat hot pot together later?"

Jing Tian said, "It's so hot to eat hot pot in the summer!"

He then looked at Jiang Heng, "Let's go eat barbecue?"

Jiang Heng was overwhelmed when he heard this. He flipped through the documents on the table, "I have something to do, so I won't accompany you at noon. You two can eat whatever you like!"

Jing Tian smiled, "Okay, then let's go out first and don't disturb him!"

Seeing this, Liu Yifei couldn't stay and snorted and walked out of the office.

After the two left, Jiang Heng hurriedly called his assistant Cui Zhenzhen and ordered: "Stop any female artists who come over later. Don't let any of them in. Do you understand?"

"Understood!"

Cui Zhenzhen said, stepping on high heels and twisting her slender waist and going out.

Jiang Heng scratched his hair and suddenly remembered a plot in a TV series where a group of beauties from an art troupe went to find Mr. Hou one by one in order to go to the United States. What a happy trouble!

But after Liu Yifei and Jing Tian left, other female artists came one after another, but they were all stopped outside by Cui Zhenzhen.

These people couldn't get into the office, so they called or left messages on WeChat. In short, they expressed their idea of ​​playing the heroine of the American version of "Alien Path". Jiang Heng's answer was that they needed to read the script before making a decision.

After the problem of the female artists was solved, there were also male artists who wanted to participate.

It has to be said that the attraction of "breaking into Hollywood" and "international superstar" is indeed great.

Jiang Heng's answer remained the same, that they would make a decision after the script came out.

As a result, in the afternoon, an unexpected call came from Wu Yizu, who had been working in Hollywood for many years.

After a few pleasantries, Wu Yizu expressed his idea of ​​​​striving for the role of the second male lead in the American version of "Alien".

Jiang Heng smiled and said: "You, it shouldn't be that bad!"

Wu Yizu sighed and said: "It's not easy to get into Hollywood!"

He reached his peak when he debuted. In 1997, he starred in "The Matrix" directed by Jiang Heng. After that, he cooperated with Jiang Heng many times, and the starring "Inception" even won an Oscar.

After that, the two gradually cooperated less and less. Jiang Heng began to promote newcomers. Wu Yizu occasionally made guest appearances, and most of the time he worked hard in Hollywood.

It is said that Wu Yizu was able to get a lot of leading roles at the beginning with the influence of films such as "The Matrix" trilogy and "Inception".

But because of relatively limited resources, most of the films he starred in were mediocre, and his status and resources were gradually downgraded.

Wu Yizu's current position in Hollywood is somewhat awkward. He was once a big star, but now he has no box office appeal.

He is a bit like Andy Lau after the rise of Chinese-language movies. He is very famous, but he can't carry the box office, and his resources are relatively limited.

After thinking it over, Wu Yizu had to ask Jiang Heng for help.

He happened to know that iQiyi, Youku, and Columbia Pictures were going to co-produce the American version of "Alien Path", so he called.

Jiang Heng knew about Wu Yizu's current situation.

He said frankly: "I am still discussing cooperation with Columbia. There is still a supporting actor role, which can be left to you, but it's hard to say about the role!"

Wu Yizu hurriedly said: "I am very grateful. It's a big movie anyway. It's really been a long time since I last filmed it!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "There will be a chance!"

After hanging up the phone, he couldn't help but sigh.

In this world, no one is always in glory!

Just like those actresses, who played young girls a few years ago, who knows when they will play the mother of the male or female protagonist.

The male actors are similar. Brother Cheng Long was so glorious a few years ago, but now he has begun to be ridiculed by the crowd.

Fortunately, he is a big boss and a big director. As long as the quality of special effects blockbusters does not decline, he will not be abandoned by the market for a while.

But when he thought about the overall bleakness of the film market in 2024, he felt that the development of short videos needed to be taken seriously.

Thinking of this, Jiang Heng called his company Note Technology and asked their CEO to come to his office.

Because he also worked in the building, Jiang Dongsheng, the CEO of Note Technology in his thirties, came to Jiang Heng soon.

"Director Jiang, are you looking for me?"

Jiang Dongsheng came from Weibo. Seeing that he was quite capable, Jiang Heng asked him to host the project development of Douyin.

"How is the progress at present?"

"According to your request, after another adjustment, the test has begun. At the earliest, it will be online in early September!"

Jiang Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Then there is no need to be so anxious. It will be online during the National Day holiday. Do you have any promotional activities planned?"

"Well, I have thought about it!"

"Tell me what you think!"

Jiang Dongsheng said: "I think Miaopai and Weibo are cooperating, and the method of using celebrities to attract traffic is good...!"

Jiang Heng said: "You can use this method to attract traffic in the early stage, but if you want to attract users, you still have to work hard on the content!" (End of this chapter)
