Chapter 110 Earth Ball Flower
Liu Weiqiang and others were stunned. Although as investors, there was nothing wrong in promoting their own "girlfriend" even if the female lead was already chosen, they had already thought of the actors for the main roles when they were writing the script.

"Um, Mr. Jiang, do you have any objection to using Andy Lau and Leung Chiu Wai as the lead actors?"

Jiang Heng laughed, "I have no problem with them!"

Liu Weiqiang and others breathed a sigh of relief instantly. As long as Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei were not replaced, the rest of the candidates would be easy to choose.

At this moment, they were having a pleasant conversation. Liu Weiqiang and others did not want to cause any trouble and said that they would fax the list of actors for other roles after returning to Hong Kong.

Jiang Heng had no objection and asked the three people to stay in Beijing for a few more days and arranged their food, accommodation and entertainment himself.

However, the three of them were in a hurry to prepare the film and had no time to stay any longer. After the contract and payment were settled, they hurried to the airport and left.

As soon as I got back to the crew, the assistant director came over and said, "Director Jiang, Monica has gotten off the plane. She has been arranged to go to the hotel first and will join the crew tomorrow."

Jiang Heng said: "Okay, she flew all the way here, so she should rest for a day and adjust to the time difference!"

In the sequel to "The Matrix", Monica Bellucci's role is not that large, but it is quite amazing.

In the original film, Trinity, played by Carrie-Anne Moss, was not very beautiful but was also heroic.

But when she was in the same frame with Monica Bellucci, she was instantly outshined.

Li Meiqi's figure and appearance are sexy and charming, but compared with Monica Bellucci, she is a bit dwarfed. Jiang Heng is really looking forward to this peerless beauty known as the "Earth Flower".

The next day, Monica came to the crew accompanied by her assistant, wearing a silk black dress, matched with a ruby ​​and diamond necklace and earrings. Her proud figure was clearly revealed and her aura was super strong, which stunned all the cast and crew members.

Some people were confused and asked: "Who is this?"

"It can't be Director Jiang's girlfriend, she must have flown in from abroad!"

"I heard it's an Italian actress named Bellucci, who is also an actress in this movie."

Chinese Internet information was not well developed around 2000, and we could not know as many international female stars as we do later.

Few people in the entire crew knew Monica Bellucci before, and even fewer could talk to her.

"Director Jiang, Miss Monica is here!" The reception supervisor stepped aside, but couldn't help but look at Monica.

"What a beauty!"

Jiang Heng was also distracted for a moment, then he stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "I am the director of this play, Jiang Heng, welcome to you, Miss Monica!"

The latter does not speak Chinese, and her assistant does not understand much either.

Jiang Heng repeated it in English, and Monica smiled and said, "I know you, Director Jiang. I've watched the movies you've made, especially The Devil's Land (Lion's Ridge), which is really amazing and incredible. Pacific Rim is also great. When will the sequel come out?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Thank you for your compliment. As for the sequel, I'm afraid we'll have to wait a few years. Just like the sequel to The Matrix that's about to be filmed, the first one was made five years ago!"

"Oh, I can only say that time really flies by. It was twelve years ago when I first entered the industry...!"

Perhaps because of Jiang Heng's wealth and status, Monica did not show an inexplicable sense of superiority. Instead, she was very talkative and had a very "congenial" chat with Jiang Heng, leaving the others "stunned".

“Is this the power of money?”

"Director Jiang is also very handsome!"

"This woman doesn't have any ideas!"

The staff members discussed quietly.

Jiang Heng also felt that they had talked too much. He looked at his watch and said with a smile, "Ms. Monica, it's not easy for you to come here, so the crew plans to finish filming your scenes within a week. How about putting on some makeup and changing clothes now?"

Monica smiled, her eyes somewhat charming, "Thank you so much, Director Jiang. I'll go change my clothes first!" After saying that, she blinked and walked gracefully.

"Director Jiang, this girl is not a good person!" The bald Yuan De stared at Monica's back with his eyes wide open.

Jiang Heng said: "Don't talk useless things, just do something!"

However, with the arrival of Monica Bellucci, the entire crew seemed to become impetuous.

And when Monica, wearing makeup, a white tight dress and high heels, walked out of the dressing room, it seemed that countless people sighed softly.

China in 2002 was still relatively conservative.

Even though some of them dress boldly, they don't have such a good figure.

Li Meiqi said to Wu Yizu with some jealousy: "If I were you, I would do a few more NGs later!"

Wu Yizu hurriedly said, "No, we can't do that. Filming is the most important thing!"

"is it?"

Li Meiqi sneered and didn't believe it at all.

Jiang Heng, who was not far away, also saw white in front of his eyes and was absent-minded for a moment, then smiled and said, "Ms. Monica, it is the right choice to invite you to participate!"

Monica smiled charmingly, "I also think that this acting experience is a great blessing in my career!"

"Okay, let's get started!"

After Jiang Heng finished speaking, the assistant director led everyone to the set.

The sequel to "The Matrix" was filmed mainly in two major studios. One was for set shooting, using props such as foam, wood, plastic, and real objects to create realistic indoor scenes.

One is green screen shooting, using motion capture and CG technology to shoot those cool special effects action scenes.

Monica's character mainly appears indoors and has to go to a studio for set shooting.

In the built "bathroom", Monica asked the male protagonist for a kiss, the reason was naturally to take revenge on her "husband" and "French guy" Merovingia in the film.

The male protagonist naturally refused because he and Trinity were already a couple.

But in order to find the "locksmith" hidden by the "Frenchman", he naturally gave in in the end.

The scene was not complicated, but it took two NGs to pass.

Then Monica leads the male and female protagonists, Morpheus and others through the kitchen, the magnificent staircase, to a room full of books, and shoots the subordinates of the "Frenchman" vampire with silver bullets.

I have to say, although Monica looks like a brainless vase with big breasts, her acting skills are really amazing.

Whether it is the body shape, movement or lines, the performance is very good.

A lot of scenes were shot in just one day.

At the end of the night, Monica suddenly asked, "Director Jiang, I'm not used to riding in a car that's too small. Can I take your car back to the hotel?"

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay!"

He took his BMW 728 and drove Monica away from the crew.

Many men sighed as they looked at the disappearing taillights of the car. Comparing yourself with others will only make you angry!
Such a beautiful woman took the initiative to get into Director Jiang’s BMW on the first day they met. It was definitely not because of love!
