Chapter 195 Breakup
"Where did you learn the Northeastern dialect?"
"There was a guy from Northeast China in my dormitory, and I didn't know how I got abducted to him!"
Jing Tian sighed slightly, looking helpless.
She had drunk some wine before, and now her skin was fair and beautiful, her cheeks were slightly rosy, and there was a bit of stupidity in her clear eyes. Jiang Heng felt childish and couldn't help but tapped her head gently with his hand.
This scene really dumbfounded many people.
Han Sanping, Hong Jinbao and others were not surprised at all. They actually had smiles on their faces, showing an expression that said, "It turns out you are not out of touch with this world."
Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, Tang Yan and others who were not far away were really dumbfounded.
Liu Yifei, in particular, instantly felt betrayed by her best friend.
Yang Mi glanced at Liu Yifei and snorted, "You didn't see it!"
Liu Yifei looked unhappy and remained silent.
Tang Yan stared into the distance stupidly, pouting slightly, looking a little sad.
Jing Tian, who was in the middle of the situation, had not yet realized what was happening.
She was just curious as to why Wu Yusen left in a huff, seeming very dissatisfied.
The other girls were too timid to ask, but she didn't care and just came over openly. That was all.
After being "sneak-attacked" by Jiang Heng, he quickly covered his head with one hand and frowned, saying, "Ouch, it hurts!"
Jiang Heng just smiled and said, "Children, don't ask about adults' affairs!"
"I'm not little...!"
Seeing Han Sanping, Hong Jinbao, Ding Haifeng, Wu Jing and others looking at her with smiles, Jing Tian felt a little embarrassed.
He clenched his fist and waved it at Jiang Heng in a demonstrative manner, then went back to his own table and angrily told him what had just happened.
Halfway through the conversation, I realized something was wrong.
……
There were no reporters present at the dinner, so the minor incidents were not reported by the media.
But in the entertainment circles of mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, the news has already spread like wildfire.
What everyone talked about most was the feud between Jiang Heng and Wu Yusen.
After all, although Jiang Heng is strong at the moment, he is a junior after all, while Wu Yusen is a famous director who has been famous for many years.
Now that the two have broken up, does it foreshadow a split in the Hong Kong film industry?
It should be noted that before Wu Yusen returned to Hollywood, there were too many people in the Hong Kong film industry who were dissatisfied with Jiang Heng.
Actors such as Zeng Zhiwei, Huang, Du and others feel that Jiang Heng is suppressing them and not taking care of Hong Kong artists.
Directors like Xu Ke felt that Jiang Heng was too arrogant and had no respect for his predecessors.
Film and television companies such as Yongsheng, China Star, and Huanyu Entertainment feel that Jiang Heng is monopolizing the market and is unwilling to help them with profitable projects.
In fact, the bottom line is that Jiang Heng's series of films are too profitable, but the benefits basically go to mainland companies and actors, which makes them very dissatisfied.
For example, in terms of the actors' ranking, during this period, films co-produced by Hong Kong and the mainland basically had artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan as the protagonists, with mainland artists playing supporting roles.
But Jiang Heng seemed to have completely disregarded this when choosing actors for the film.
For example, in the "Journey to the West" film series, among the four disciples of Monk Tang, Lin Zhicong, who played Zhu Bajie, is a Hong Kong artist.
Not only that, the villains and supporting roles in the film are mainly mainland artists.
They don't understand that Hong Kong's film industry has three male stars, Xie, Chen, and Yu, and female stars, such as Zhang Baizi and Twins. You let a few mainland girls with no acting skills play guest roles without considering them. It really makes many people angry. No one of importance stood up to say these things before, so they just endured it.
Now that Wu Yusen has made a call, countless people in the Hong Kong film industry have echoed the call and condemned Jiang Heng.
Just two days before the release of "Journey to the West: Pingdingshan", Wu Yusen was interviewed by the media and was asked what he thought of director Jiang Heng, who is known as the number one commercial film director in China.
Wu Yusen’s answer was: “I think the most important thing for a person is not to forget his roots. When I was in Hollywood, although I made films for the Americans, I never forgot that I came from Hong Kong. It was the booming Hong Kong film industry that gave me the stage and space to display my talents.
I have always wanted to give back to the Hong Kong film industry and take care of Hong Kong artists, such as introducing them to Hollywood performances and job opportunities. Everyone is very united and introduces resources to each other. For example, Jackie Chan and Chow Yun-fat would do this.
Cheng Long often returns to Hong Kong to shoot some small and medium-budget movies. In fact, with his current achievements, there is no need to do so.
Others also advised him, why waste that time? You can use that time to make a Hollywood blockbuster... movie (emphasis added), but Cheng Long said no, the Hong Kong film industry is in a recession now, and many people will have no food to eat if they don't work.
I made a small or medium-budget film. Although I didn't make much money, it could help a lot of brothers.
As a person, you can't just focus on money and only think about making blockbusters and making a lot of money, right? "
The female reporter on the other side smiled and said, "Director Wu's words sound like they have a hidden meaning!"
Wu Yusen laughed, "Really? Don't interpret it randomly. What I said is just the literal meaning. If you interpret it in other ways, it has nothing to do with me!"
After this interview was broadcast, it caused an uproar.
Especially in Hong Kong, some filmmakers actually called on everyone to unite and not cooperate with Jiang Heng in the future.
Some people even called on citizens not to watch Jiang Heng's movies, saying that he is a traitor to the Hong Kong film industry.
Of course, over the years, many Hong Kong artists have received care from Jiang Heng.
Hong Kong films such as "SPL", "True Colors", and "Infernal Affairs" were all produced by Hong Kong Youteng Pictures. The main creative staff of these films are still very grateful to Jiang Heng.
At this critical moment, everyone has spoken out and called on everyone to unite.
In the mainland entertainment circle, everyone supports Jiang Heng.
As for film and television companies such as China Film Group that participated in the investment in the "Red Cliff" project, they hope to resolve the dispute as soon as possible and avoid conflicts.
On the one hand, Han Sanping found someone to appease Wu Yusen, and on the other hand, he went to Jiang Heng in person to persuade him.
Jiang Heng stood in front of the company window, looking into the distance and sighing, "In fact, the current situation has little to do with whether or not to invest in Red Cliff. It's mainly because the companies and artists in Hong Kong feel that they have not benefited from my series of blockbusters. The benefits have all gone to China Film and mainland artists!"
Han Sanping felt a little embarrassed when he heard this, as if he was taking advantage of others.
"Well, there are certain factors, but our general tone is to be united. It is wrong to create confrontation!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Then my future film resources will be fully open to Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
Han Sanping hurriedly said, "Don't, don't!"
Then he laughed awkwardly: "Don't you always talk about the Chinese entertainment industry? Don't make those distinctions!"
Jiang Heng said: "Then it's over, isn't it? If you ask me, just ignore them. The Hong Kong market is only worth tens of millions of dollars in box office revenue. A little more or less won't make a big difference."
Han Sanping thought about it and decided that this was the case, so he stopped trying to persuade him.
Before leaving, he suddenly asked, "By the way, are you okay with that little girl?"
"What little girl?"
"It's that Jing...Tian!"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Hey, in my eyes, she is just a child, it's okay!"
