Chapter 263 Who is he going to “snipe”?

Ding Lei was really furious. He originally wanted to get along with Jiang Heng in a friendly manner, so he went to discuss the game adaptation rights of "Zhu Xian" in person.

As a result, Jiang Heng told him directly that he would not sell it.

It’s fine if you don’t want to sell it, but I can also understand if you want to develop it yourself.

But you actually arranged for a headhunting company to poach people everywhere, and you specifically poached my people?

It's tolerable, but what can't be tolerated!
It’s a pity that the two industries don’t have much overlap at present. Ding Lei wants to engage in a business war, but he feels he has no idea where to start. He has to hold back for the time being.

As for Jiang Heng, he was busy until early October when the filming of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was completed.

This is definitely the longest film he has ever filmed, and the post-production time should also be the longest.

After subcontracting out a number of special effects shots, Jiang Heng did not take a break as everyone expected, but hurriedly set up another crew and started filming again very smoothly.

This has really stunned colleagues in the industry.

What's going on? Are you rushing to meet the release date?

But it's already October. Jiang Heng won't make a movie in about a month like he did with previous Hong Kong movies and release it during the Lunar New Year holiday, right?

At Huayi Company, Wang Zhonglei looked gloomy as he looked across at Chen Guofu, Xu Ke, and Liu Weiqiang.

"What does he mean?"

"I think, in all likelihood, it's an attack on a certain movie!" Xu Ke suddenly said.

"Who is he going to target?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

Xu Ke smiled and thought, of course he is targeting you, but is he targeting me?
Of course, you can't say it that way, you have to be more tactful.

"He should have regarded Journey to the West, Investiture of the Gods, and other domestic mythology themes as his own exclusive material. He would definitely be unhappy if others filmed them! This man looks generous, but he is actually very petty!"

Xu Ke analyzed that when he asked Jiang Heng for investment but was rejected, it became a laughing stock in the circle, but Old Xu still remembers it!
Wang Zhonglei was getting more and more frantic. "Does that mean he wants to snipe me and sniper The Investiture of the Gods?"

Even though he seems to be giving orders every day and acts like an industry boss, he would still be scared if he really had to face Jiang Heng.

Not only him, which domestic investor or director would not feel confused if encountering such a thing?

There is no need for live-action special effects blockbusters. Even animated films like "Kung Fu Panda" can earn over 200 million yuan at the mainland box office, and the total global box office can exceed 700 million yuan.

What if they really are released on the same day?
Jiang Heng lost the domestic market, but also the overseas box office. The rest of the people can only rely on the domestic market. Wang Zhonglei really can't accept this "bad news".

Chen Guofu said: "Maybe things are not as bad as we thought!"

“But he started filming in such a hurry, either to catch up with the New Year film or to prepare for next summer vacation. In my opinion, it is most likely for The Investiture of the Gods!” Liu Weiqiang analyzed.

As the director of "Investiture of the Gods", Liu Wei Qiang is both nervous and excited. It would be a pleasure to compete with Jiang Heng in the same schedule.

After all, it wasn't his money that was lost.

Wang Zhonglei couldn't stand hearing this, and hurriedly said, "No, I have to find out clearly, otherwise I won't be able to sleep well!"

After hearing what he said, the others also left the office.

Chen Guofu and Liu Weiqiang were fine, but Xu Ke was a little dumbfounded.

The reason why he appeared here was that he wanted to shoot a martial arts blockbuster with special effects as its selling point. He had a very good chat with Wang Zhonglei during his time in Beijing, and they had already finalized the script and selected the actors.

He didn't want to encounter this kind of thing. If Wang Zhonglei was only affected briefly, it would be fine. But if he gave up on making a new film because "Investiture of the Gods" might be "sniped" by Jiang Heng, he would be dumbfounded.

Chen Guofu saw Xu Ke’s worry and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't think too much. What belongs to you will be yours sooner or later!"

Xu Ke smiled bitterly: "I've been waiting for several years!"

Chen Guofu thought to himself, who made you so willful when you were filming "The Legend of Zu"? We agreed to an investment of 40 million, but you were so excited about filming that you went over budget and ended up spending 80 million to finish it.

The overspending was one thing, but the key point was the box office failure.

Investors have been badly cheated by you, who would dare to invest in your movie? But you just say: "I will wait!"

At the China Film Digital Base, the crew of "Havoc in Heaven" seemed to be back again, but there were many different faces, that is, girls, many, many girls.

In order to grab a schedule and release a special effects blockbuster next summer, Jiang Heng chose the "Journey to the West" theme as the best choice.

After all, some props from previous plays can still be used.

Actors in some previous dramas were also able to quickly join the crew and get back into shape.

It’s just that the styles of "Lion Camel Ridge" and "Pingdingshan" are a bit dark, so Jiang Heng decided to make a cheerful style this time, so he chose the Kingdom of Women.

The king is played by Liu Yifei, and Jing Tian plays the Scorpion Spirit.

This girl is not picky about the amount of roles she plays, and she thinks the Scorpion King is both beautiful and powerful. She keeps saying from time to time: I am not a delicate queen, I have plenty of strength and means!
However, Ding Haifeng, who is used to playing the tough guy version of Tang Monk, couldn't find the feeling for a while when he arrived in the Kingdom of Women.

The roles of the rest of the characters are relatively easy to handle.

After finishing work in the evening, the actors went back to their hotels to rest.

Liu Yifei couldn't sleep, so she went to Jing Tian's place.

"How do you feel about filming recently?"

"It's okay, I always feel a little hard to get into the role!"

When Jing Tian said this, Ding Haifeng's appearance as Monk Tang appeared in his mind, and he shook his head in fear.

Liu Yifei said: "I'm almost the same. To be honest, every time I see Mr. Ding Haifeng, I think of Director Jiang in my heart, so that the filming can go on!"

Jing Tian clapped his hands and said, "I don't want to go together. I also hinted to myself that, otherwise I don't know how to act!"

Liu Yifei sighed: "It would be great if Director Jiang could play Tang Monk!"

Da Tiantian's eyes lit up when she heard this, "It's true. He will definitely be handsome when he plays Tang Seng. I'll talk to him tomorrow!"

Liu Yifei was stunned when she heard this. She didn't expect Jing Tian to take on the "task" so easily.

In fact, according to her personality in her previous life, she would express her thoughts directly.

For example, when casting for The Return of the Condor Heroes, Huang Xiaoming was considered more suitable than Nie Yuan.

However, Jiang Heng's movie did not allow her to express her ideas at all.

I don't dare to say anything easily even if I have something in my heart.

Originally, I went to Jing Tian to try my luck, but Da Tiantian agreed without much thought.

Was she simply not thinking too much about it, or was their relationship so good that she could be easily persuaded?

Liu Yifei didn't dare to think further, and when she walked back, she looked like a lost soul.

The next day, Da Tiantian quietly followed Jiang Heng back to his temporary office.

Jiang Heng noticed and said with a smile: "Why are you sneaking around?"

"Really? I'm very honest!" Da Tiantian straightened her back instantly.

"Why, what do you want to say?"

After entering the room and sitting down, Jiang Heng took off his coat and hung it on the hanger, then turned around and asked.

"Well, it's nothing. It's just that when I was watching Teacher Ding, I couldn't get into the mood at all. I had to think that I was Tang Seng in order to continue acting!"

When Da Tiantian said this, she twisted her fingers and had a very interesting expression.

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "You, did you come here just to talk about this?"

"Of course, I thought about it all night!"
