China Entertainment special effects started in 1997

Han Sanping's eyes lit up when he heard this.

Because the movie "Pacific Rim" a few years ago was so successful.

In terms of box office, the global cumulative total reached 939 million US dollars, making it Jiang Heng's best box office performance to date.

In addition to its excellent performance at the box office, this film was also very successful in video distribution, TV on-demand, and peripheral toy development.

Especially in the Chinese market, a large number of mecha model toys are sold every year due to preconceptions.

In Shenzhen, Dongguan and other places, there are too many small factory owners and dealers who have made a fortune from pirated "mecha" toys.

The "Transformers" that later entered the Chinese market were not so popular.

Therefore, Han Sanping has been thinking about the sequel to "Pacific Rim" in recent years.

Fans have also been calling online, hoping that Jiang Heng can start filming soon.

Especially when they learned that Paramount and DreamWorks had started filming "Transformers 2", these fans were extremely anxious. They often wrote letters and called Ayote Pictures, hoping that Jiang Heng would film "Ring 2" as soon as possible. So as not to let "Transformers 2" get the upper hand.

Jiang Heng naturally knows this, and has not started the sequel to "Pacific Rim" for a long time. Firstly, he is waiting for the development of the mainland market, and more importantly because the original "Pacific Rim 2" was a bad movie.

If he wanted to make a sequel, he had to put aside the original version and come up with a brand new story. Every aspect had to be carefully considered, so he put it off again and again.

It was also by chance that I learned that "Transformers 2" had been secretly launched, so I made up my mind to shoot "Pacific Rim 2". The principle was that they must not be allowed to get ahead of them.

"This time, I am going to play something big, with a total investment of US$120 million!"

Han Sanping was stunned when he heard this.

The US$120 million in 2005 was almost one billion yuan, which is really a lot of money!

China Film Group has relatively strong funds at the moment. It can only provide 100 million at most, but it really can’t afford any more.

Of course, if Jiang Heng is willing to accept investment from others, he can still get money easily.

Han Sanping talked about the amount of investment that China Film Group can invest, and also mentioned that many people are now willing to invest in his films.

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "This movie is very risky. I don't know whether it can make money. I'd better not take other people's money. If I lose money, I won't be hacked to death by investors!"

Han Sanping had a puzzled expression on his face, "Losing money? That's not true, is it? You take action...!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "That's what I'm saying, get vaccinated in advance. Filming is risky, so be careful when investing!"

Han Sanping said: "If you can't make money by making movies, there aren't many directors in the world who can! It's okay, whether you make a loss or make a profit, we all support you here!"

Jiang Heng raised his glass and said, "Thank you!"

The two took a sip, and Han Sanping put it down and said, "By the way, how is the script writing going?"

"It's almost done. It's basically finalized. I've been busy with this for the past two months, and I haven't been idle during the Chinese New Year!"

"Amazing!"

Han Sanping raised a toast to Jiang Heng, "In this circle, I have seen too many people who are so successful and famous that they don't think about business anymore. They just eat, drink and play every day. How can you be so successful and still work hard?" It’s rare! No, it’s unique!”

Jiang Heng smiled, "You, just fool me!"

"No, I'm really not cheating. I sincerely praise you! But to be honest, as a human being, you have to relax when you should, and you can't be tense all the time. There are so many beauties around you, so take action when it's time to take action!"

Jiang Heng nodded, "That's for sure!"

"It's all talk but no action. You're not a young man, you're still just trying to be blind!"

Seeing Jiang Heng's reserved smile, Han Sanping said: "You're not really what I said, are you? But to be honest, the people around you are all good, Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, Jing Tan... the flowers are blooming and must be cut off. !”

Jiang Heng said: "I heard you say that, do you have rich experience?"

Han Sanping smiled, imitating Li Yunlong's lines in "Bright Sword", "Of course, we were famous as handsome young men in our hometown back then!"

After saying this, both of them laughed.

Afterwards, Han Sanping asked Jiang Heng about his favorite actors, especially actresses.

"You wouldn't give such an important role to an outsider, would you?"

Of course, the first thing that came to Jiang Heng's mind was Da Tiantian, and he shuddered subconsciously.

Definitely not a choice. Da Tiantian will never appear in "Pacific Rim 2", and she will have to be kept away from the set.

The rest was to choose between Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, Yang Mi, and Zhao Liying.

Jiang Heng was still more optimistic about the top two, but he was still undecided on who to choose, so naturally he couldn't reveal it easily. He just said that he was still thinking about it, and Han Sanping stopped asking.

After a sudden change, Jiang Heng returned to the company and continued to polish the script, but it was already a busy job.

I spend more time busy with the crew's preparation work, such as model design for shooting, shot script painting, etc.

"Director Jiang, Miss Tang Yan is here!" the assistant knocked on the door and said.

Jiang Heng nodded and ordered her to bring the person over.

Not long after, Tang Yan walked in wearing a white coat, a bun, and light lipstick.

"Director Jiang!"

"Well, sit down. What do you want to drink?"

"Cafe!"

"Two cups of coffee!"

After Jiang Heng said to his assistant, he turned to Tang Yan and asked, "How does it feel to be on the set?"

Tang Yan smiled sweetly, "It's good that everyone is very kind and takes good care of me. Besides, I really like the character Zixuan. I really want to thank you!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Of course, how many days can you stay this time?"

"Two days, I have to return to the crew the day after tomorrow morning!"

At this time, the assistant brought in two cups of coffee.

Jiang Heng picked up a cup and blew it, and suddenly said: "By the way, have you seen "Pacific Rim"? "

Tang Yan heard this and felt her heart jump suddenly.

As one of the leading actresses of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, Tang Yan also has supporters, who told her the gossip a long time ago.

So before coming here today, she knew that Jiang Heng was writing the script and arranging the props team to customize the mecha model to prepare for the filming of "Pacific Rim 2".

Asking her this at this moment, it should be considered to let her play the female lead!

"Yeah, I've seen it, and I really like this movie!"

"What do you think of Gao Yuanyuan's role in the film?"

"Sister Yuanyuan played it very well, beautiful and sassy, ​​so cool!"

"If you were to play a female mecha pilot, how would you interpret the role?"

When Tang Yan heard this, she felt as if the air was about to freeze, and she seemed to be able to hear Jiang Heng and her own heartbeats.

She took a breath and said slowly: "If I were to interpret it, I would definitely have to show the difference with Sister Yuanyuan...!"

Tang Yan said a lot, and the general meaning was that she had to show the capable and cold side of a female mecha pilot in battle, and also her lifelike and little girl side. It was the constant attacks of the monsters that made her grow into a qualified warrior.

Jiang Heng nodded slightly after hearing this, and was generally satisfied.

After chatting for a while, he let her leave, because he had to interview Liu Yifei in the afternoon before making a decision.

Unexpectedly, the assistant came to report in the afternoon, saying that Liu Yifei looked not very good and seemed to have cried.
