Chapter 102 Kung Fu
There were many people who came to guest star in the film "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", and the most famous ones were naturally "Chow Yun-fat, Yi Cheng" and Jet Li.

Zhou Runfa made a cameo appearance because Jiang Heng had suggested to Li An that he be invited, and Jiang Heng invested 70 million US dollars in the film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", accounting for more than % of the total investment.

Now that many stars from the Chinese entertainment industry are coming to make guest appearances, Zhou Runfa has to express his opinion out of both emotion and reason.

As for Cheng Long, it was naturally Sammo Hung who persuaded him.

Jet Li taught Jiang Heng many boxing routines when they were filming "Hero". Seeing that Jiang Heng was extremely talented and an internationally renowned commercial film director, he naturally had a good relationship with him and came to support him.

As for Zhou Xingxing, Chun Chun came here on her own.

On this day, Jiang Heng was in the China Film Digital Studio, filming a scene with Tang Yan, when his assistant suddenly came over and said, "Director Jiang, Mr. Zhou Xingxing called and said he would come to visit the set. He has already gotten off the plane and is on his way by car!"

"He, is here to visit?"

Not to mention Jiang Heng, even the other cast and crew members around were stunned when they heard it.

Especially Hong Jinbao, who said with a smile: "He would not come to you for no reason, it seems he has something to ask of you!"

Yuen Wah said with a smile: "Maybe, seeing that all the domestic celebrities are coming to guest star, he also wanted to show his face in the crew!"

"He won't!" Sammo Hung sneered.

In fact, the relationship between the two of them is not good or bad, it's just that one is an extrovert and has many friends, while the other is an introvert and rarely interacts with others.

Although they were both from the tiny country of Hong Kong, they had never worked together.

But when it came to the filming of "Kung Fu", they fell out after only working together once.

It was in this situation that Jiang Heng immediately thought of the word "Kung Fu".

Originally, according to history, the filming of "Kung Fu" started in July 03.

Influenced by Jiang Heng in this life, especially after seeing the scene in the cinema where countless translucent ghost generals in helmets and armor and holding swords rushed towards the inn, Zhou Xingxing could no longer suppress the urge to shoot a kung fu blockbuster using special effects techniques.

But I was busy with Shaolin Soccer at that time and couldn't spare the time.

After the release of "Shaolin Soccer" this summer, Stephen Chow has been busy with the script of "Kung Fu".

The reason for coming here at this moment is, firstly, to cooperate with the special effects company under Jiang Heng's name, and secondly, to see if he can get some investment from Jiang Heng and China Film.

Although he felt that his film would have good box office success, the failure of A Chinese Odyssey was too great a blow to him. Stephen Chow really didn't dare to produce a film independently, let alone write, direct and act in it!
Only after the script was completed did he fly to Beijing and go straight to the crew of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother".

At the entrance of the China Film Digital Photography Base, the crew's deputy director Hong Jinbao led the crew to greet them, "Ah Xing, I didn't expect that you would also come to guest star!"

Zhou Xingxing was stunned. He was concentrating on the preparations for "Kung Fu" and didn't think much about it.

Fortunately, the person in charge of Xinghui Company, Tian Qiwen, was smarter and said with a smile: "Director Jiang Heng has achieved extraordinary success and is the pride of Hong Kong. Now that he is directing and acting in the film, we must come to support him!"

Zhou Xingxing also said: "Yes, how can I be absent from such a thing? I really can't wait to meet Director Jiang Heng!"

Hong Jinbao thought to himself, "You kid, you're pretending really well. If I hadn't told you in advance, I might have been fooled by you!" He then led Zhou Xingxing and his group into the crew.

On the set, Jiang Heng was acting opposite Tang Yan. Although the latter's acting skills were a bit weaker, he was young and his personality was well-fitted with the role.

After a period of polishing, the performance was quite acceptable.

But Zhou Xingxing watched for a while and thought to himself, "This performance is far inferior to Liu Piaopiao. Why did they find a pure vase?"

But then I thought, the audience came to watch this movie just to see the super shocking special effects, and the actress just had to be good enough to not drag the show down. Thinking of this, I felt more and more that I should find a pure, green, new actress, rather than a queen with outstanding acting skills.

"Crack!"

After a set of shots were finished, Jiang Heng asked the crew to rest for an hour before walking over and saying with a smile, "Oh, Mr. Zhou, I was busy filming just now. Sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Zhou Xingxing said hurriedly: "Don't wait too long, don't wait too long! Besides, I can learn something from watching Director Jiang filming!"

Jiang Heng laughed and called Zhou Xingxing to go to the temporary office prepared nearby.

"Mr. Zhou, is there anything you need when you come here this time?"

Zhou Xingxing was about to take the script of "Kung Fu" when he saw Tin Kai Man winking at him. Then he reacted and said, "Well, it's like this, Mr. Jiang. I heard that you are filming your first film that you will direct and act in. I think as a member of the Hong Kong film industry, I need to contribute, so I want to play a cameo role in your film."

Zhou Xingxing has a very old-fashioned personality, and he was very serious about the guest appearance.

Jiang Heng knew that he came here for another purpose, but he couldn't help but be "touched" and said: "Oh, thank you so much!"

"No need. I don't know if there is a role suitable for me. I'll try to figure it out!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Well, I haven't really thought about it yet. Besides, Mr. Zhou must have other things to do when he comes here this time. If he doesn't leave right away, there's still time!"

Zhou Xingxing said seriously, "I do have something to ask Mr. Jiang!"

After that, he took the script handed over by Tian Qiwen and handed it to Jiang Heng, "This is a script I wrote for several months. I would like to ask Mr. Jiang to take a look!"

Jiang Heng was not polite. He took the script and took a look. It was indeed the content of "Kung Fu", but the plot and actors (planned) were slightly different.

At this moment, Stephen Chow still plans to invite Wu Mengda to play the role of the landlord.

Jiang Heng flipped through it and nodded, "Not bad, it looks good. Does Mr. Zhou need investment? I still have some spare money in my company's account!"

Zhou Xingxing was stunned when he heard it, and then he was overjoyed.

After all, the news that Xu Ke's script for "Seven Swords" was rejected by Jiang Heng before it was even finished had already spread in Hong Kong.

Although he knew that Jiang Heng was unlikely to reject him, he still felt a little unsure.

"Really? That's great. Actually, what I lack most is not money, but a special effects production team. Of course, it would be great if Mr. Jiang could help solve that problem as well!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "No problem. What is your total budget investment?"

Zhou Xingchi hesitated for a few seconds, then held up two fingers and said, "Twenty million dollars!"

Jiang Heng didn't answer immediately. He leaned back slightly as if thinking, and then asked: "What is the funding gap?"

Zhou Xingxing looked embarrassed, "About 15 million!"

He had some wealth, but most of it was in the real estate market. Plus, he didn't dare invest too much, so he could only offer more than four million US dollars, and even this felt like a huge risk.

Jiang Heng still had a thoughtful expression, and after a few seconds he said, "As for money, that's not a problem, but if this film wants to be shown in mainland China, I suggest adding China Film. Let them pay for a portion, and I'll cover the rest!"

Zhou Xingxing said hurriedly: "That's for sure. I originally wanted to visit Chairman Han, but I didn't want to go there without permission. I wanted to ask Mr. Jiang for an introduction!"

The fact that "Shaolin Soccer" failed to be released in mainland China caused him a lot of losses. This time, he must involve China Film Group in the show!
