China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

The news that Zhou Xingxing came to visit the class had already been reported to Han Sanping.

The latter is currently busy with preparations for "The Promise". Although the company has made a lot of money from its cooperation with Jiang Heng.

But a company as big as China Film cannot rely too much on Jiang Heng and must always support other directors.

Hearing that Zhou Xingxing suddenly came to Beijing, Han Sanping immediately sensed the opportunity.

Immediately call Jiang Heng and ask him to receive him first, and he will come over soon.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Heng said with a smile: "It saves trouble this time, Director Han will be here soon!"

Zhou Xingxing felt a little cautious after hearing this.

Now that I know more about the mainland film market and the importance of the vice chairman and general manager of China Film Group, I have become more determined to invite China Film Group to participate in investment.

After chatting for about half an hour, Han Sanping arrived. Jiang Heng raised his hand to look at his watch, "Just in time, it's time for the crew to turn on the camera. You guys chat first, I'll be the host tonight!"

Han Sanping said: "Hey, when we get to the ground in the capital, of course I will make the arrangements!"

Jiang Heng didn't argue with him and went back to filming with a smile.

On the set, it was still the opposite scene with Tang Yan.

The little girl has had more contact with Jiang Heng, and she is finally not so reserved. They chatted in the name of asking for advice between filming, and they became more familiar with him.

"Hey, Director Jiang, if Master Xing comes over, he's also going to make a cameo!"

"yes!"

"Wow, the cast of our drama is too strong! Even if we are looking for celebrities, there will be many people entering the cinema!"

"Yes, so you have to work hard. There are so many people carrying the sedan for you. If you don't behave well, you will be scolded!"

Tang Yan looked pitiful for a moment, "I tried my best, Director Jiang, you know that I haven't learned anything before!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, "So, when the filming is finished, go and get admitted to the Beijing Film Academy and Beijing Film Academy!"

"Oh fine!"

Tang Yan made a pitiful face in front of Jiang Heng, then turned around and smiled, thinking in his mind, "Should I go to China Theater Company or Beijing Film Academy?"

With her status as the heroine of Jiang Heng's new film "Split the Mountain to Save Mother", it would be easy for Tang Yan to get into any movie she wants.

Just because we have no choice, we often fall into the trouble of happiness.

In the evening, Jiang Heng attended the banquet arranged by Han Sanping and invited Tang Yan to attend.

Sitting in Jiang Heng's car, the latter couldn't help but feel his heart beat faster, and the words that his best friend said before suddenly came to his ears.

"Don't be nervous. You are an artist of the company. I brought you here just to see the world. Although Zhou Xingxing's new drama will definitely not use you as the heroine or supporting actress, let's forget it! You don't have to think too much about it later. , just think it’s because you’ve been too tired from filming recently, I’ll treat you to a big meal!”

When Tang Yan heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Then I'll just eat it!"

In order to reduce production costs, the crew basically ate packed lunches during filming.

The quality of the food produced by the main creative staff can be a few levels higher, but it is still not comparable to the big meals in the hotel, but it made everyone in the crew hungry.

Driving to the hotel arranged by Han Sanping, Jiang Heng led Tang Yan into the reserved private room.

The decoration inside is magnificent and the dining table is large.

Han Sanping, Zhou Xingxing, Hong Jinbao, and several executives from China Film, Xinghui, and Aiyouteng Pictures, about a dozen people sat in one seat.

Before the food and drinks were served, they were still talking about the investment in "Kung Fu".

Han Sanping said directly: "Director Jiang, China Film has cast more than ten films this year, especially the films of you and Kai Shen, which cost a lot of money! Now that the budget is limited at the end of the year, China Film can only squeeze out three million (USD) )Bar!"

Jiang Heng looked at Zhou Xingxing, "In other words, there is still a gap of 12 million US dollars?"

Zhou Xingxing nodded, looking a little embarrassed.

Twelve million U.S. dollars may not sound like a lot, but if converted into RMB, it would be almost 100 million!

For such a large investment, let alone that he didn't have so much liquidity, he wouldn't dare to invest even if he did.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Heng said calmly, "Okay, I'll take care of the rest. Well, I'll draw up a contract later and finalize the details of the cooperation, so I can put the money into the crew's account later!"

Zhou Xingxing was stunned. He didn't expect Jiang Heng to be so cheerful. This was an investment of hundreds of millions!

There are many wealthy people in Xiangjiang, so it is quite difficult to get such an investment.

Otherwise, historically, he would not have sought investment from Columbia Pictures!

"Mr. Jiang, thank you for your trust in me. Don't worry, I will definitely make this film!"

It is said that Zhou Xingxing has a withdrawn personality. If it were other Hong Kong stars who came to the mainland to attract investment, they would definitely be toasted.

But he just solemnly stated that he would definitely make a good movie.

But everyone present also believed that he would make the film well, and his reputation as a tyrant on the set was not something he was just bragging about.

When Tang Yan on the side heard this, he felt that his "three views" had been refreshed. It turned out that there were really people who decided to invest hundreds of millions of dollars with just a wave of their hands, just like buying groceries!

By the way, the moment Director Jiang said he wanted to invest, he was so handsome!

Seeing Tang Yan's expression of a little fangirl, Tian Qiwen couldn't help but feel bitter.

More than half of the investment in the drama "Kung Fu" was made by Jiang Heng. He also hired female artists under his banner, so he didn't want to designate the female lead. This would be difficult to handle.

Fortunately, Jiang Heng didn't mention the heroine during the meal, and Zhou Xingxing didn't seem to have thought about it. The whole conversation was about what kind of effect he wanted to achieve.

Hong Jinbao was very interested in this, and actually got along well with Zhou Xingxing, and finally decided to ask him to be the action director.

Jiang Heng listened and said to himself, the two of them should not have a falling out midway this time like in history!

Of course, he couldn't say anything in advance about something that hadn't happened yet.

A few days later, the executives and legal affairs of the three companies gathered together to sign the contract, and the most important funding issue of the crew was resolved.

During this period, Zhou Xingxing stayed in the crew of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", watching how Jiang Heng filmed, and asked many questions about the design of special effects scenes.

Finally, he took out the script of "Kung Fu" and discussed how to shoot several fighting scenes.

As a result, Jiang Heng casually said a few words and described the scene, which Zhou Xingxing felt was very much to his liking.

"Well, Director Jiang, why don't you be the producer of the film!" Zhou Xingxing suggested.

Jiang Heng did not refuse, and finally he was named the producer and producer of the film "Kung Fu".

Talking about actors, he recommended Feng Xiaogang to play the role of the boss of the Crocodile Gang.

Zhou Xingxing, who always strives for perfection and shoots very slowly, suddenly found that since he came to Beijing and contacted Jiang Heng, the preparation of the film "Kung Fu" was about to take off.

At this rate, the filming will start in early 2002 and the film will be released in theaters during the Lunar New Year holiday!

"Director Jiang, I didn't believe you when people said you were a genius before, but I'm really convinced this time! No wonder you can make a special effects blockbuster every year, you have so many good ideas!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Starting next year, it won't be one movie every year. I plan to speed up the progress and make three movies in two years."

"Are you going to make a new movie again?" Zhou Xingxing wondered.

"Yeah!"

"What are you going to shoot!"

"The Matrix, the sequel!"
