Chapter 112 Red Carpet Show
Tu Jingwei is not the only one who thinks so. Many domestic movie fans regard "Lion Camel Ridge" as the pinnacle of Chinese-language mythological movies. On Chinese forums such as Tianya and Mop, there are more than 2,000 posts about "Lion Camel Ridge" with a total of over 100,000 replies.

That’s because there was no Douban back then, otherwise the score would definitely start at 8.5, and it would most likely be over 9.

If "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" can surpass "Lion Ridge", it will definitely be a visual feast!

Although I don’t know what the plot will be like, judging from the consistent standard of Jiang Heng’s works, the special effects scenes will definitely be fine. There will be dozens of celebrities making guest appearances, which is exciting to think about.

Hearing Tang Yan praising "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", the reporters outside the fence seemed to be excited as well, and they kept taking pictures with all kinds of cameras in their hands.

Under the huge poster display board, Tu Jingwei asked again: "So what kind of person do you think Director Jiang Heng is?"

"Well, I think he is a very, very good and very, very talented person!"

"What's the best solution?" Tu Jingwei asked with a smile.

"He took great care of me and never scolded me even when I made NGs. I'm really lucky to have met such a nice person like Director Jiang Heng on my first filming!"

"Wow, it seems that Director Jiang Heng really takes good care of you! Then Tangtang, how about you go to the venue first and we can talk about this later?"

Tang Yan smiled and nodded in agreement, then headed towards the venue. Tu Jingwei continued the interview and soon welcomed a big-name contestant, Jet Li.

"Wow, Mr. Jet Li, I really didn't expect to see you here. Can you please say hello to our media friends?"

Jet Li first shook hands with Tu Jingwei, then faced the fence on the other side of the red carpet and waved to the reporters crowded together.

"Hello everyone, I'm Jet Li. I play a powerful celestial master in "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" and I have a rivalry with Director Jiang. This film is very exciting, please support it!"

After saying this, Jet Li was about to leave, and Tu Jingwei pretended to stop him.

"Teacher Lianjie, wait a moment, wait a moment, can you answer two questions?"

"You say!"

"What kind of person do you think Director Jiang Heng is?"

"A natural martial arts prodigy!"

"Wow, is that true, Teacher Lianjie?" Tu Jingwei had an exaggerated expression.

The reporters not far away were going crazy, their cameras were clicking non-stop and the cameras were directly cutting to close-ups of faces.

"Of course it's true, of course it's true. There's no first in literature and no second in martial arts. How can such a thing be fake? Whether he is a Kung Fu master or not, we will know as soon as he enters the arena!"

When these words came out, the reporters present almost went crazy with excitement.

When the crew was filming "Hero", rumors spread that Jiang Heng was a martial arts genius. The tabloid media also described the Jiang family as a martial arts family and said how powerful Grandpa Jiang was.

However, although these rumors were widely circulated, neither Jiang Heng, Jet Li, Zhang Yimou and others talked about this in front of the media.

Some famous people in the "Hero" crew did not mention it in media interviews.

Those who accept interviews from tabloids, regardless of what they say, are basically special guests or extras.

Therefore, although the rumor is very popular, its authenticity has always been questionable.

Now, in such a highly anticipated occasion, Jet Li publicly acknowledged Jiang Heng's title as a kung fu master, which is even more official than official certification!

"You said Director Jiang Heng is a martial arts genius. What's the reason for that?"

"You can clearly feel that Director Jiang Heng had never learned many of the action routines before, but once he was told and had to practice them a few times, he learned them. He is better than many people who have practiced for years. I can't think of any other words to describe him except a natural martial arts genius!"

"Wow, that's really amazing. Will you two make action movies together in the future?" Jet Li smiled and said to the media at the fence, "I am very much looking forward to it. I wonder if you are looking forward to it too!"

The reporters naturally shouted in anticipation, but Jet Li had already strode forward to the venue.

Tu Jingwei continued the interview. More and more stars walked onto the red carpet, sometimes four or five at a time. She could only choose to interview those who were famous and had high popularity.

People like Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Zhou Xingxing and others would definitely stop to say a few words, and they naturally praised Jiang Heng highly.

But in comparison, Cheng Long's performance was more calm.

"Rush Hour 2" released last year grossed 2.26 million U.S. dollars in North America and 3.29 million worldwide. Although it is not as good as "Pacific Rim", it is still far ahead of other Chinese-language films.

It is also one of the most famous Hollywood blockbusters.

Chow Yun-fat's compliment to Jiang Heng was a bit exaggerated, because he was not doing very well in Hollywood. Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made him well-known to many European and American audiences, in the eyes of many Hollywood film producers, Chow Yun-fat still could not carry the box office.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been off the screen for so long, and no big production has come to him.

If he can't make it and returns to China one day, he still hopes to get a leading role in Jiang Heng's film, so of course he will try his best to say good things.

Zhou Xingxing's answer is quite special, sounding both exaggerated and simple.

"Well, I think Director Jiang Heng is very likely the best Chinese-language film director in the past hundred years!"

"Why do you say that?!"

"Well, for the new film I'm planning to shoot, when we discuss the plot, the suggestions he gives are often the kind that hit you right in the heart, making you feel that you don't need to consider anything else, just this one, this will definitely work!"

"Really? That's really talented!"

"It must be true. Many directors can only produce a masterpiece in one or two years or even two or three years, but Director Jiang Heng has produced so many classics since he took over as director..."

Although Tu Jingwei knew that many of the people were just saying polite words, when he heard Zhou Xingxing's sincere tone, he couldn't help but think, I'm helping a film master host a premiere red carpet show!
After seeing off Zhou Xingxing, a young and handsome figure appeared on the red carpet a while later, instantly causing huge cheers.

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang!"

"Director Jiang, Director Jiang!"

Jiang Heng walked the red carpet as an actor, but a crowd of reporters and fans still cheered him as "Director Jiang."

Seeing the man getting closer, Tu Jingwei couldn't help but get nervous.

"Director Jiang, hello, I really didn't expect to meet you here. I think you are much more handsome than before!"

"Really? I feel the same way. I think you are more beautiful than before!"

"Thank you, Director Jiang!" Tu Jingwei's tone was not coquettish originally, but when she saw Jiang Heng, she couldn't help but speak in a choked tone.

"Just now, during the interview, I heard everyone's comments about you. The one that impressed me the most was what Mr. Li Lianjie said, that you are a martial arts genius. I want to ask, is that true?"

Jiang Heng nodded and said into the microphone: "It's true!"

"Wow……!"

There was a huge burst of exclamations at the scene, and reporters and fans looked at Jiang Heng with surprise and a little suspicion.

He actually admitted it, is that really the case?
