Chapter 174 Director Jiang’s films are also incomprehensible?
What Jiang Heng never expected was that Zhou Xingxing actually made a cameo appearance as a little demon.

There are a few lines in which he is beaten to death with a stick after talking to Sun Wukong.

Zhou Xingxing asked if he could block it before dying.

Jiang Heng said no, you are just a little demon, let alone the Monkey King’s golden hoop, you can’t even withstand a sneeze.

Zhou Xingxing nodded thoughtfully, looking a little lonely, and left after the filming.

Jing Tian looked at Zhou Xingxing's back and wondered, "He looks so weird!"

Yuan De didn't care. "He's always been weird and doesn't get along with anyone. Don't pay any attention to him!"

Jing Tian said "oh" and returned to Jiang Heng's side.

Several beauties from the "Dafeng" crew have gone back, except Jing Tian.

Firstly, she didn’t have many scenes to film recently, and secondly, this girl was very interested in “blockbuster movies” and wanted to stay in the crew to see how Jiang Heng filmed.

In her words, the teachers in the school are all "armchair talkers", but Jiang Heng represents the highest standard of Chinese-language commercial films.

Not learning here but just going to school to waste time is simply putting the cart before the horse!
After that, she showed up on the set every now and then, generously buying milk tea for everyone, and quickly won everyone's love.

Jiang Heng was too lazy to pay attention to her and let this girl "steal skills" as she appeared and disappeared mysteriously.

In the blink of an eye, it was May and all the special effects shots of "Inception" were completed.

Jiang Heng took the time to edit the film and did the post-production work including subtitles, music, and dubbing.

The film was submitted for review at the end of the month and soon obtained the Dragon Mark.

But not long after it passed the review, a rumor spread that the film Jiang Heng shot this time was a little difficult to understand.

The news first spread in a small circle, but somehow it was reported by an entertainment media.

The headline was "Jiang Heng returns to 'The Promise' path; rumor has it that the censorship team couldn't understand the new film." As soon as this report came out, the newspaper was sold out in an instant.

People, subconsciously, have a certain desire for destruction!

For example, when standing on a high place, you can't help but have the urge to jump.

When you see someone doing too well and succeeding, you will secretly hope that the other person falls into trouble.

Jiang Heng has been too successful in recent years. It is no longer news that his movies have been box office hits and have great reputations.

If one could fall flat on his face, it would still satisfy people's desire for gossip.

It just so happens that Jiang Heng’s new film is associated with the keyword “incomprehensible”, which instantly reminds people of “The Promise”.

Especially after the "Mantou Case" was widely spread, "incomprehensible" has become a typical negative label.

For a moment, many people couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Jiang Heng's new film was a failure?
Especially in online forums, some people can make very clear analyses.

I feel that Jiang Heng's "Inception" is likely to be a flop.

The reason is simple. Director Jiang wants to win an award this time and strive for an Oscar.

When one ignores awards and only focuses on box office, Jiang Heng is invincible.

The shooting level of commercial blockbusters is comparable to that of Spielberg, James Cameron and others.

But it’s hard to say if you want to shoot a film with extremely high artistic quality.

Firstly, Jiang Heng had no experience in shooting art films.

Secondly, with the combination of art and commercial blockbusters, and with Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige as examples, Jiang Heng will most likely shoot something that is neither fish nor fowl.

Maybe it's not as good as The Promise! Some netizens also refuted that The Matrix is ​​very artistic.

Then it was refuted that "The Matrix" only had a cool setting and was too imaginative, and could not be considered true artistry.

The quarrel was raging on the internet and was also a hot topic in the entertainment industry.

The happiest person is naturally the great director Chen Kaige. After the disastrous failure of "The Promise", the originally promised investment for "The Monkey King" was also lost.

The previous film "Lü Bu and Diao Chan" was also required to be rectified, which made Director Chen very angry.

Thinking about the bold words made before the release of “The Promise”, I feel even more embarrassed.

If at this time, a big director of the same status failed, he would not be the one who suffered the most!
"Haha, I thought Jiang Heng would be popular for another two years, but I didn't expect him to run out of ideas so soon!"

Chen Hong was curious, "Is it really as rumored outside?"

Chen Kai said: "It is absolutely true. I have asked several people. The plot is a mess. What about dreams within dreams and deep dreams? It is just a trick to be mysterious!"

Chen Hong laughed, "If that's the case, he's really in danger this time!"

Chen Kai said with a sigh: "But to be honest, the special effects are still very shocking!"

"Our special...!"

Chen Hong wanted to say, our special effects are also very shocking, we are not defeated yet!
As a result, Chen Kaige's face darkened halfway through his words, and Chen Hong was so scared that she dared not say anything.

Chen Kaige paced a few steps, walked to the window and looked outside, then suddenly turned around and asked, "What do you think I should shoot now?"

Chen Hong thought for a moment and said, "I think people should still do what they are best at. How about making another movie about Peking Opera?"

Chen Kaige nodded slightly. The failure of "The Promise" made him really need to prove himself at this moment.

It is indeed more appropriate to shoot films related to Peking Opera.

If we talk about the most famous Peking Opera master in China, it should be Mei Lanfang.

……

At the Xinhua Noodle Company, when Zhang Yimou heard the news that Jiang Heng’s new film was rumored to be “incomprehensible”, he was stunned for a moment and then went back to the preparations for “Curse of the Golden Flower”.

Firstly, he didn't believe that Jiang Heng would repeat the mistakes of "The Promise". Secondly, the preparations were too busy and he had no time to think about anything else.

Especially the male lead Chow Yun-fat who was invited to the show is extremely difficult to deal with.

Not to mention the high pay, the main thing is that not only does he keep asking for various conditions, he also wants to change the script, which makes him a little angry.

Zhang Weiping was somewhat gloating. Although their relationship seemed to be okay on the surface, he was very envious of Jiang Heng's achievements and the box office earnings.

I also hope that Zhang Yimou's films can become popular all over the world and sell well, but unfortunately it has never happened!

This time, he finally raised funds to make a blockbuster, but he chose to find Zhou Runfa, such a troublesome person. He was so angry that his liver hurts!

He doesn’t care whether Jiang Heng succeeds this time or not!
The one who really cares about this is Han Sanping, Mr. Han!

After all, they have been cooperating for many years and are still cooperating now, so naturally they hope that every one of Jiang Heng’s films will be a big hit!
When he heard the bad rumors, he called immediately to ask about Jiang Heng's situation.

"It's okay, Mr. Han, don't worry!" Jiang Heng said calmly.

Han Sanping was a little skeptical, "Then why can't I understand your new film?"

Jiang Heng said: "Perhaps someone is deliberately hyping it up. This movie does look a bit brain-burning, but if you pay a little attention to the plot, you can completely understand it. You also know me. I am the number one box office. How could I do something to turn away the audience?"

Han Sanping thought about it and agreed. He said, "That's good, that's good. I believe the rumors will be dispelled by the time of the premiere!"
