Chapter 326 The Legend of White Snake

The story of "White Snake: Origin" was all in my mind, and writing the script was not difficult. It only took two or three days to finish.

Jing Tian took it and read it immediately, and tears welled up in his eyes after reading it.

"It's so well written. How come my brother is so talented?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Brother has more than just talent!"

Da Tiantian's pretty face turned slightly red, and she said coquettishly: "Hateful!"

He gently hit Jiang Heng and whispered, "What do you think about letting Ying Bao play Xiao Qing?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "You have always been on her side!"

"She's my best friend, of course I have to take care of her!"

Jiang Heng nodded slightly, but didn't say anything else. He was just thinking about suitable candidates for other roles in the film.

As I was thinking, the phone suddenly rang. I picked it up and saw that it was Jet Li, who I hadn't contacted for a long time.

"Hey, Director Jiang, congratulations. I watched your film 'The Hero's Company' and it was quite enjoyable to shoot!"

Jiang Heng chuckled and said a few humble words.

Jet Li also asked if he had time recently and wanted to treat him to a meal.

When Jiang Heng is not filming, he rarely goes out for social events and will turn down ordinary drinking parties if he can.

Thinking back to when I was filming "Hero", Jet Li taught me a lot of boxing routines, and when I was filming subsequent movies, he also came to make a cameo appearance to support me, so it was hard to refuse.

“It’s not very busy!”

"How about tomorrow?"

"Okay, it should be fine!"

After hanging up the phone, Jing Tian hurriedly said, "Take me there, please!"

"Okay!"

"Really?"

"How can this be true or false?"

Jing Tian became even happier after hearing this!

The next evening, Jing Tian drove Jiang Heng to the agreed hot pot restaurant.

When I entered the reserved box, I saw Jet Li and Wen Zhang sitting inside.

Wen Zhang was stunned when he saw Jiang Heng and Jing Tian coming in arm in arm, but then he put on a smile.

Jet Li was not surprised at all. He stood up, smiled and shook hands with her, saying, "I knew you two were a match made in heaven!"

Da Tiantian was extremely happy when she heard that and said thank you with a smile.

Jiang Heng just smiled slightly, exchanged a few words and then sat down.

After the drinks and dishes came, the four of them ate and chatted.

Jiang Heng asked Jet Li what he was busy with recently, and the latter said he had taken a big job and would be starring in a costume mythological blockbuster.

Jiang Heng said: "You are not going to act with Wen Zhang, are you?"

"Yes, after Huang Shengyi terminated his contract with Zhou Xingxing, he followed Boss Yang of Actions Group. Seeing the popularity of special effects blockbusters, they wanted to shoot The Legend of White Snake and asked me to play Fahai and Wen Zhang to play Xu Xian. They wanted to hand over the special effects production to your company!"

Jiang Heng heard this and smiled awkwardly, "It's really hard for me to take this job!"

Jet Li was stunned when he heard this. "The orders are too full. Can't we arrange them?"

"Not really, because I also want to make a movie based on the Legend of White Snake!"

Jet Li frowned slightly after hearing this, and Wen Zhang's expression changed.

He has been quite popular in recent years. Not only has he starred in many TV series, but the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" he starred in also achieved a box office revenue of over 900 million yuan, making him a top-tier actor in mainland China.

That's why Yang Zhi and Huang Shengyi wanted to invite Wen Zhang to play Xu Xian.

In another life, the actor who played Xu Xian was Lin Feng, a popular actor in Hong Kong. Wen Zhang wanted to become more popular and consolidate his position in the industry, so he attached great importance to this film.

He tried his best to facilitate Jet Li's joining, and even wanted Jiang Heng's company to do the special effects.

He never expected that there would be such a conflict of topics, which really depressed him.

Although this drama was directed by Cheng Xiaodong, produced by Cui Baozhu and co-produced by Zhang Shuping.

But all these people combined are no match for Jiang Heng!

But Wen Zhang would definitely not be willing to give up the opportunity to star in a special effects blockbuster just because Jiang Heng is also filming "Legend of White Snake".

Glancing at Jing Tian standing beside him, and recalling the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" previously produced by iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, Wen Zhang realized that it must be because of this girl.

He forced a smile and said, "It seems that Miss Jing Tian must be playing the role of White Snake?"

Da Tiantian smiled innocently and looked at Jiang Heng happily, "Yes, I will play the role of White Snake and my brother will play the role of Xu Xian!"

Wen Zhang suddenly felt as if a knife was stabbed in the heart. He glanced at Jiang Heng across from him and suddenly felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

Jiang Heng is taller than him, more handsome than him, and more popular than him. They even play the same role. How the hell can I compare them? I will definitely be scolded.

Jet Li asked, "When will your film be released?"

"This year's Lunar New Year movie!"

Jiang Heng said nonchalantly that it would be announced at the new film's press conference anyway, so there was no need to worry about whether the information was leaked or not.

Upon hearing this, Jet Li frowned even more.

Because of Yang Zhi and others, the initial estimated release date is the 2010 Spring Festival. How the hell is this going to work?

The same theme, if released before Jiang Heng's blockbuster, is still expected to make a profit.

For example, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was released in May, earlier than "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" which was scheduled for the summer, and eventually earned more than 900 million yuan at the box office.

If it was released after "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", I'm afraid the 3 million box office would be in jeopardy!

At this point, if Action Films' "Legend of White Snake" project wants to go ahead, there is only one way, and that is to release it before Jiang Heng's film.

The problem is that it is already mid-February, and it is quite difficult to release a special effects blockbuster in October or November.

When the topic got to this point, Jet Li and Wen Zhang lost their appetite for food. They were afraid of offending Jiang Heng, but they didn't dare to leave immediately. They just kept chatting there and didn't leave until more than an hour later.

Jet Li and Wen Zhang left in a hurry, while Jiang Heng and Jing Tian walked out slowly. The young lady wanted to eat dessert, so Jiang Heng took her to buy ice cream, and then walked back slowly.

The temperature in Beijing in February is still relatively pleasant.

The temperature has been above zero during the day these days, and only minus five or six degrees Celsius at night.

Just wear a woolen coat or a thin cotton jacket, it will feel very comfortable and not as cold as in Northeast China.

The young lady walked briskly, as if she had just realized something. "Oh, Huang Shengyi is also going to play the White Snake. Who do you think will perform better between the two of us?"

"Of course it's you?"

"So, what if it's Sissi?"

After the Chinese New Year, Liu Yifei accompanied her mother back to her hometown. She hasn't returned yet, but she only calls Jiang Heng every few days. There is no big problem in their relationship.

She could naturally sense that something was wrong with Jiang Heng and wanted to rush back immediately, but was persuaded by Liu Xiaoli.

In her words, they were just a couple, so what if they were caught?
Can you make him break up with other women, or can you break up with him cruelly?

If you can't do either, it's better to turn a blind eye.

If you watch a man too closely and cannot tolerate any flaws in his eyes, you will be more likely to lose him.

Liu Yifei naturally didn't want to break up with Jiang Heng, and she had never even thought about it.

Jiang Heng's wealth, talent, status, and looks are what many girls would never dare to dream of. His age is just right too. Only a fool would break up with him!
Jiang Heng could also sense that Liu Yifei seemed to be deliberately staying in her mother's hometown to give herself some space.

So in response to Jing Tian's question, she smiled and said, "Each has its own merits, and they are both equally beautiful!"
