Chapter 214: House Goddess
Jiang Heng found it difficult to refuse, so he let Megan Fox get in the car.
The car quickly drove back to Beijing and arrived at the underground parking lot of Shangri-La Hotel.
After the car stopped, Megan cast a coquettish glance and said in a tender voice, "Don't you want to go up and sit for a while?"
Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say, as this otaku goddess had already pounced on him.
At night, the two hungry people went out for a midnight snack.
Megan Fox wrapped herself tightly in sunglasses and a hat, while Jiang Heng dressed normally. They drove to a larger barbecue restaurant and asked for a private room.
After sitting down and ordering, Megan complained, “Jiang, why do we have to be so sneaky?”
"Well, I don't really want to be the focus of other people's gossip!"
"Are you still thinking about Miss Liu?"
Seeing that Jiang Heng didn't answer, Megan smiled, "You're not thinking about a lot of girls like Miss Liu, are you?"
Jiang Heng said: "Don't say that!"
"Don't worry, I'll be back after filming and won't delay you!"
Megan Fox spoke very casually, but her expression was somewhat sad.
The two of them have different nationalities, are separated by oceans, and don't have any deep feelings for each other.
Not to mention that Jiang Heng didn't make a promise, even if he did, she wouldn't dare to believe it!
It was just that Jiang Heng gave her the opportunity to change her fate when she was at the most depressed and hopeless in her career, and she has always been grateful in her heart.
In addition to being in a foreign country, I felt inexplicably lonely and some emotions could not be suppressed.
After supper, Jiang Heng said he wanted to go home, and she followed him.
The next day, they both got up at noon, went out to eat and go shopping, and on the third day, they appeared together on the set of "Pacific Rim 2".
Before, I thought there was nothing wrong with these two people, so I dared to joke with them because I was close to them.
During this meeting, the relationship between the two seemed to have been upgraded. No one dared to say anything nonsense in front of Jiang Heng, but gossip behind their backs was inevitable.
However, producer Han Sanping took the opportunity of a casual chat to ask, "Is Jiang Heng planning to be with Megan?"
Jiang Heng was slightly embarrassed, "We...!"
Han Sanping smiled. "It's a waste of youth if a man doesn't indulge himself in romance. There's nothing to be embarrassed about. I just want to advise you to be careful when choosing a partner given your status, position and influence. It's best to find a woman who can help you in your career. It's best if she comes from a powerful family. As for actresses...!"
Han Sanping smiled when he said this and didn't continue, but his meaning was very clear.
Jiang Heng said: "Well, I'm not even thirty yet, I really don't think that far ahead!"
Han Sanping smiled, "That's right. If you really want to find a royal lady, it will be annoying if she keeps controlling you all day. You should enjoy life to the fullest!"
After saying that, he patted Jiang Heng on the shoulder and walked away.
Jiang Heng smiled and said to himself, "It seems that the Third Master is no ordinary person!"
He immediately stood up and went back to filming.
Time flies and it is already May. The films to be released in the summer have completed post-production and are preparing for promotion and distribution.
Because of Jiang Heng's appearance and influence, two blockbuster movies were released during this summer's release, namely Zhang Yimou's "Curse of the Golden Flower" and Feng Xiaogang's "The Banquet", both of which were released a year earlier than in the previous life.
The reason why they are all concentrated in the summer vacation is because "Pacific Rim 2" was announced early to be released during the Chinese New Year, and they did not dare to compete with it in the same period.
As for Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, both of them have a good relationship with Jiang Heng.
During the promotion, they all thought of inviting Jiang Heng to help. The first one to come was Zhang Yimou, who came to visit the set by himself. Zhang Weiping did not come because he had some unpleasantness with Jiang Heng before.
In the rest area of the set, Zhang Yimou looked exhausted and seemed to have aged several years.
Jiang Heng was a little surprised, "Is it so tiring to shoot this drama?"
Zhang Yimou sighed, "Filming isn't tiring, but my heart is! Your Hong Kong brother Fa is too arrogant, always causing trouble and quarreling with Weiping. How can I, a director, coordinate the relationship between the producer and the leading actor? What kind of thing is this?"
Jiang Heng could think of that scene and said with a smile: "That's quite tiring!"
Zhang Yimou sighed again, "What's even more outrageous is what's coming up. Aren't they going to start promoting it yet? Weiping called his team to discuss the promotion schedule, but they didn't even ask, and just said they didn't have time. Weiping was almost pissed off to death!"
Jiang Heng wanted to laugh when he heard this, but he felt it was not very kind and it was difficult for him to hold back.
Zhang Yimou sighed, "From now on, I won't dare to work with big-name actors from Hong Kong anymore!"
Then he added: "Speaking of which, you are also from Hong Kong. Whether it is achievements or wealth, you are much better than them, but you have never had that kind of superiority complex. It's really rare!"
Jiang Heng smiled, "We are all Chinese, there is no need to act superior."
"Exactly, it's a pity that there are so few people who can do what you do!"
Zhang Yimou sighed, and immediately invited Jiang Heng to attend the premiere of "Curse of the Golden Flower" in early July. Jiang Heng said that he would reserve his schedule for that day.
Zhang Yimou asked if there was anything he could help with, and then said self-deprecatingly, "It's a pity that this is a science fiction film, and I'm not even suitable for a cameo appearance!"
Jiang Heng said: "Hey, old friend, why are you talking about this? You've been to many of my events!"
Zhang Yimou smiled innocently and said nothing.
He has attended many premieres of Jiang Heng's new films over the years, and can be considered as a supportive person.
In comparison, Feng Xiaogang had less contact with Jiang Heng.
Because Director Feng was initially somewhat dissatisfied with Jiang Heng, thinking that Jiang Heng had snatched away his title of "King of Lunar New Year Films" in mainland China.
If it weren't for Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters, the annual Lunar New Year box office champion in the mainland would have been his.
Therefore, in the first few years, Feng Xiaogang had little contact with Jiang Heng.
Later, when he saw that Jiang Heng's films were making more and more money at the box office, earning hundreds of millions of yuan in the mainland and a day's box office was almost as much as that of one of his films, Feng Xiaogang gradually changed his mindset and actively tried to build a relationship with Jiang Heng.
Two days after Zhang Yimou left, Feng Xiaogang arrived with Ge You.
Uncle Ge played the role of an archaeological team leader in "100 Million Years BC" and had a good relationship with Jiang Heng.
When the two of them arrived at the crew, they looked around carefully, as if they had never seen anything like this before.
Especially when they saw the more than 30-meter-high "Storm Red" and "Challenger" mecha models standing in front of the crew, both of them were extremely surprised.
Feng Xiaogang said: "Wow, this big guy looks very strong! This one should be able to beat up several monsters without any effort!"
Ge You asked, "What should we do with this thing after we finish filming?"
The assistant director who came out to greet him said, "Director Jiang didn't mention it, so he should have opened the seal first!"
"No, that's such a shame! If you want to tear it down, you might as well give it to me. I'll go to Daxing and get a few acres of land, build a theme park and sell tickets. I'm sure someone will be willing to come!"
Feng Xiaogang said, "Well, this is a great idea. Let's make some dinosaur models. They will definitely attract children!"
The assistant director said: "The company is planning to build a theme park, but the location has not been decided yet."
