Chapter 133 Visiting Team
Jiang Heng came to visit the set and really shocked the entire crew.
When the main creators looked at Liu Tianxian again, they could no longer use the word "shock" to describe their expressions, but rather an expression of "so that's it".
Everyone thinks that her ability to get the female lead role has something to do with Jiang Heng.
Seeing this kind of look, Zhang Da Huzi lost his confidence and thought, my choosing her as the heroine has nothing to do with Jiang Heng, absolutely not!
The problem is that it is difficult to dispel this rumor, not to mention that he is good at hype. In almost an instant, his expression changed from surprise to ecstasy.
He opened his arms and laughed loudly as he went forward to hug Jiang Heng, "Director Jiang, Director Jiang, your name is well-known. You came here to visit the set today and brought honor to the crew!"
Jiang Heng felt very uncomfortable with his enthusiasm, thinking to himself, doesn't this bearded man resent me for buying "The Return of the Condor Heroes" and "The Heaven Sword and the Dragon Saber"?
I thought he was going to give me a cold look!
He smiled and said, "You are a senior, and you are also the best in the country in filming martial arts dramas. I came here to learn from you today, so don't be secretive!"
Zhang Da Huzi said, "Hey, how can the fighting design of my TV series compare with Director Jiang's big production? I still need to learn from you!"
The entertainment industry is like this, even if two people have never met and still have some resentment towards each other, they can still have a "harmonious relationship" because it is beneficial to both parties.
There are also many cases where good brothers and good friends go their separate ways due to conflicts of interest.
The two of them praised each other for a while before Zhang Da Huzi allowed Liu Tianxian to come forward and take Jiang Heng for a walk around the area.
"Are you getting used to the crew recently?"
"Yeah, I'm used to it. Mainly because my mom is always with me and takes care of me. The older brothers and sisters in the group are also very nice to me!"
After thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle is really nice too. He came all the way to see me!"
After saying that, she smiled sweetly, bright and beautiful.
Jiang Heng teased her deliberately, "Well, actually it's just on the way. I had something else to do, and then I remembered that you were here, so I stopped by to check on you!"
When Liu Tianxian heard this, his expression became gloomy and he said "Oh" faintly.
Then he smiled and said, "That's great, too. You have so many things to do, and yet you can come by on your way. It's not easy!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "Don't you want to ask what I'm busy with?"
Liu Tianxian tilted her head slightly, "What are you busy with?"
"The company is preparing to film The Return of the Condor Heroes. Come over and see if there are any suitable locations and actors!"
"The results of it?"
"The location looks average, but the actress looks like the heroine walked out of a book!"
Liu Tianxian laughed crisply, "I can't believe you can still talk like that!"
"why?"
"When I first met you, I thought you were very majestic and a little kind, like a middle-aged uncle."
Jiang Hengxin said, "You are really good at judging people. You can even tell that I am actually a middle-aged uncle!"
But he said, "Do I look old?"
Liu Tianxian said hurriedly: "Not old, not old, just too mature and steady. The first impression given is that he doesn't look like a young person!"
Jiang Heng nodded slightly. In fact, many people who had come into contact with him said that he was mature beyond his years and did not have the energy of young people.
After thinking for a while, he said, "It seems that I am too tense in normal times. I need to take a good rest for a while!"
The two walked in the scenic area for a while and then went back so as not to delay the filming of the crew.
Jiang Heng watched for a while and saw several blowers on the scene, and they were always moving in slow motion. He really couldn't get used to it.
There is some slow motion in The Matrix, but it is not used much in order to show the trajectory of bullets through the air.
Furthermore, this shot has a showmanship element, because the audience will know how difficult it is to shoot this scene.
The slow-motion shots taken by Zhang Da Huzi seemed to be just to let the audience know how the characters appeared. For example, when Qiao Feng appeared, he was spinning in circles in the air, and sometimes even stopped for a moment.
This kind of shot is nothing more than using coercion to hang the actor in the air, which is not too difficult.
Fortunately, Zhang Da Huzi was not as shameless as later directors. When the fight really started, he fought at a normal speed and every punch hit the real target.
The movements are smooth and beautiful, yet they have a carefree and elegant demeanor.
As for "Swordsman", which is known as the beginning of slow-motion drama, the fighting scenes are the culmination of traditional freehand brushwork, combining fast and slow, with each move as smooth as flowing water.
Unfortunately, later directors only learned slow motion and spinning in circles, which ruined the classics in various ways.
Jiang Heng looked for a while and then left. In the evening, he invited all the main creators of the crew to dinner.
All the leading actors were very excited. After all, for people of their status, it was not easy to get to know Jiang Heng.
When Lin Zhiying first debuted, his popularity was comparable to the "Four Heavenly Kings", but now he is not as popular as before, and he has not acted in any movie in the past two years.
During the meal, everyone first praised Jiang Heng's previous works and the upcoming "The Matrix 2", and then asked about his future filming plans.
Only Jiang Xin spoke frankly, "Director Jiang, I heard that you bought the copyright of The Return of the Condor Heroes. Are you going to ask Yi Fei to play the role of Little Dragon Girl?"
After these words were spoken, everyone at the dinner table fell silent.
Especially Zhang the bearded man, his face looked very unhappy.
Liu Xiaoli looked at Jiang Heng nervously, fearing that something might go wrong with the resources that were originally a sure thing.
Jiang Heng laughed, "I didn't expect you to have such good judgment. The role of Little Dragon Girl should indeed be given to her. If Director Zhang gets the copyright, he will make the same choice, right?"
Zhang Da Huzi said, "Indeed, I did want to ask Xiao Liu to play the role of Little Dragon Girl, but unfortunately Jin Yong sells the copyrights one by one, and he doesn't have as much face as Director Jiang!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "This is just the first time I asked for it, so Mr. Jin Yong had to give me some face. If I say this again, he will definitely not agree!"
Zhang Da Huzi said in annoyance, "So, I asked for two the first time, and I was able to buy them?"
"That's a must, haha!"
After some chatting and laughing, the topic was passed.
Jiang Heng stayed in Yongkang late at night and went to Hangzhou the next day. Thinking that he had made the trip here with great difficulty, he went for a walk around the West Lake.
At lunch, the assistant wanted to order West Lake Vinegar Fish, but Jiang Heng stopped him and replaced it with another dish.
The assistant looked resentful, not understanding why he didn't eat the special dishes.
In the afternoon, Jiang Heng looked at houses near West Lake and bought many bungalows and buildings.
In 02, the average house price in Hangzhou was between three thousand and six thousand, ranking fifth in the country.
Considering the current salary, it is not cheap either.
But to Jiang Heng, housing prices really feel like they are as cheap as onions.
Speaking of the scalding housing prices, it reminded him of Teacher Ma, who should have made his company somewhat famous by now.
If he invested money and promoted it publicly, his company would surely become famous.
However, some of his later actions were quite controversial, and Jiang Heng was not short of money, so he had not decided whether to take the initiative to contact him.
For him, it is enough that the movies make money.
It's enough as long as the funds in your hand can maintain or increase their value.
He has no time or energy to engage in real estate development, and currently mainly uses his money to buy high-quality properties in the core business districts of first-tier cities.
Buying a house is just pocket money, while buying a building is the main business.
