Chapter 220: Casting for Zhu Xian
Jiang Heng was still somewhat tempted by Da Tiantian's proposal, but he hadn't thought of a suitable script yet.

There is a very good movie called "White Snake: Origin", but the problem is that it is only 2005, and it would be a pity to bring it out now. The other themes don't seem to be suitable.

"A Chinese Ghost Story" is too classic, and a remake would easily be criticized. Besides, with Da Tiantian's acting skills, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to play the role of Nie Xiaoqian.

"Painted Skin" is also okay, but I heard that companies such as Shanghai Film Group and Ningxia Film are already preparing for this project.

The male lead has found Chen Kun, and they are planning to cooperate with Good Time Company on special effects. They have already sent someone to negotiate, so Jiang Heng definitely cannot try to intercept them.

As for "Big Fish and Begonia", forget it. I find the view on love in it difficult to appreciate.

Considering Jiang Heng's age and experience, he no longer believes in love.

The reason why I haven’t found a girlfriend yet is that I was hurt too deeply in my previous life.

An actor who had been in Hong Kong for more than ten years and was still penniless, went to Beijing to become a "Beijing Drifter" after 2010. One can imagine how sad he felt.

But he has a very strong girlfriend who always does PUA to him. His life can only be described as suffocating.

What puzzled him the most was that when they first met, she was clearly a cute girl who looked "well-behaved" and "cute", but after they were together, she would transform into a "Tyrannosaurus" and a "tiger" at any time, which was quite magical.

Of course, with his current intelligence, status, and wealth, he would definitely not be suppressed by a woman again, but he really no longer expected love.

After much thought, Jiang Heng felt that only "Zhu Xian" was slightly more suitable.

As for Jing Tian, ​​it seems like he can play the role of Bi Yao!
"Well, I thought about it and it seems that I can shoot "Zhu Xian"!"

Jing Tian was stunned when he heard this, then his eyes lit up and he said loudly: "I want to play Bi Yao!"

This time Jiang Heng was stunned, as it actually coincided with his idea.

"Why?"

"Because Biyao loves Zhang Xiaofan so much that she is willing to die for him!"

"That's it?"

"Yes, isn't love about being willing to give everything for the other person, even at the cost of one's own life?"

Da Tiantian's eyes widened and she said as a matter of course.

When Jiang Heng heard this, he suddenly felt his eyes sore and he felt like crying.

Because the later "love" means having a house and a car, a betrothal gift of 38 yuan, and 8% of the child is someone else's!
I've heard so many stories about "demanding" love that I'm a little uncomfortable with this kind of "giving" love.

"Well, originally, I was thinking of waiting for you to go to Beijing Film Academy for two years to hone your acting skills before making a movie. But looking at your determination now, it seems that there is no problem."

Da Tiantian said: "Of course, if you ask me to play something else, then I really can't. But if it comes to playing a love role, there is definitely no problem, because it is a true portrayal of myself!"

Jiang Heng felt a little overwhelmed when he heard this.

He said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, I understand, you go back first, I will revise the script!"

Da Tiantian was a little disappointed, but when she thought that Jiang Heng agreed to let her play Bi Yao, she felt happy again.

"So, when will the filming start? I can save some time for it!"

Jiang Heng was speechless, "You've been wandering around all day, leaving no time for anything!"

Da Tiantian laughed and left happily.

Whenever they met an employee from iQiyi, Youku or Tencent Video along the way, they would greet them enthusiastically, which surprised these people.

They were all whispering behind her back, wondering what had happened. Could it be that she had become the boss lady in such a short while?
As a result, not long after Jing Tian left, several milk tea shops downstairs from the company delivered hundreds of cups of milk tea, saying that they were ordered by a girl who called herself "Da Tiantian". More sugar was added to each cup of milk tea so that everyone could feel the "sweetness".

In the office, Jiang Heng looked at the large cup of milk tea brought by his assistant with a puzzled look.

"This, was bought by Jing Tian again?"

"Yes, Miss Jing bought milk tea for everyone in the company. This is a note for you!"

"Okay, go ahead!" Jiang Heng took the milk tea and looked at it, then shook his head and said with a smile: "This girl, wow, this is too sweet, how much sugar is added!"

Jiang Heng didn't give up desserts and drinks, but he felt that milk tea was a little too sweet.

He took a sip, put it down, and continued writing the script.

There was a version of "Zhu Xian" in the previous life, directed by the famous martial arts director Cheng Xiaodong, but unfortunately the film was so bad.

When it was first released, Douban scored more than 6 points, but later it dropped to more than 4 points.

Speaking of Cheng Xiaodong, he is a very good martial arts instructor, but his skills as a director are indeed a bit lacking.

I really don’t know what the investors were thinking when they asked him to direct this film.

Perhaps this movie was planned as a martial arts film from the beginning of the project, and the priority was definitely to find a director in Hong Kong.

However, the previous martial arts film directors were either old or no longer active, so the opportunity was given to Cheng Xiaodong, who was a martial arts instructor.

I thought that since he participated in the production of so many classic martial arts films, he must be better than the directors in mainland China, but the things he produced were a mess.

Therefore, Jiang Heng was completely unable to get his script back and had to rewrite it.

After working for more than two hours, he stood up and stretched his legs, then began to think about the actors' issues again.

Nowadays, Jiang Heng is no longer as reluctant to spend money when making films as before, and he has no problem with paying more for the actors.

Unfortunately, Jiang Heng has never had any feelings for the actresses active in the mainland film industry.

After much deliberation, I decided to use Tang Yan.

After all, when Pacific Rim 2 was being filmed, Jiang Heng was more inclined to use Tang Yan, but the incident in which Song Zude spread rumors about Liu Yifei happened.

Liu Yifei has already starred in "Pacific Rim 2". If she is asked to play in "Zhu Xian" again, I am afraid that the company's contracted artists will be very dissatisfied in their hearts even if they don't say it out loud.

It really doesn't make sense not to promote one's own artists with such good resources.

Among the three 85 flower actresses signed to iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, Tang Yan, Yang Mi and Zhao Liying, it seems that Tang Yan is more suitable for the role of Lu Xueqi.

Speaking of which, Tang Yan has a certain connection with this character.

Originally in history, Richie Jen had filmed the MV "Zhu Xian, I'm Back" in 07, in which Tang Yan played Lu Xueqi.

Because it's a MV, the production is not very sophisticated and the makeup was also average, but her eyes are still sharp, and she has Lu Xueqi's cool style.

After thinking about it, Jiang Heng immediately called Tang Yan.

She was strolling around the mall at the moment. After the filming of "Chinese Paladin III" was completed, a film crew came to find her.

It’s just that Tang Yan has never been very career-oriented. Moreover, after missing out on the female lead in Pacific Rim 2, she had a hunch that Jiang Heng would let her star in a movie one day.

So I’m not very enthusiastic about filming TV series.

Yang Mi is very hardworking. After finishing the filming of "Chinese Paladin III", she quickly joined other crews, and there was no time to go shopping with her.

Suddenly I heard my cell phone ringing, and I quickly took it out and took a look.

Seeing that it was Jiang Heng’s cell phone number, Tang Yan instantly lost his previous leisure.

"Hello, Director Jiang, are you looking for me?"

"Well, where is it?"

"I'm at the International Trade Center!"

"You come to the company... Forget it, I'll go find you!"

Jiang Heng looked at his watch and realized that it was already noon. It was a good time for them to go out and have lunch together.
