Chapter 329 Guest appearance in "The Founding of a Republic"

"Don't I have any other choice?"

"All other roles have been decided, so I really can't give you one!"

"It's OK to have a smaller role, such as a CPPCC member, a photojournalist, or something like that!"

Han Sanping was speechless. "Why are you talking so much nonsense? You're not busy right now, right?"

"Yes, a little bit. Since you are so sincere in inviting me, I will choose Jiang Jingguo!"

Han Sanping was very happy to hear this, because Chiang Ching-kuo had more roles than Kong Lingkan.

He naturally hopes that Jiang Heng can perform better, such as the rivalry between him and Du Yuesheng played by Feng Xiaogang, which can be edited into the trailer.

"Okay, it's settled. I'll have someone send you the script later, and I'll also send you the filming notice in advance!"

After hanging up the phone, Jing Tian asked curiously, "Brother is going to play Chiang Ching-kuo?"

"Ok!"

"That must be the most handsome Chiang Ching-kuo in history!"

Jiang Heng chuckled, "Is your only concern whether he's handsome or not?"

Da Tiantian rolled her eyes at Jiang Heng and said, "Besides being a little more handsome, there's nothing much to say about you!"

"Hey, I think you deserve to be punished!"

After saying that, he picked her up. Da Tiantian had a "palpable" expression and screamed in shock...

The next day, everyone joined the crew and the filming of "White Snake: Origin" officially began.

At the same time, major entertainment media reported the news that Jiang Heng’s new film "White Snake: Origin" had started filming.

Some of them started from the selling point of 3D special effects, saying that director Jiang Heng will create another fantastic and magnificent mythological blockbuster, bringing super shocking visual effects to the country.

However, more popular entertainment media wrote about the fact that both Actions Pictures and iQiyi Films were filming The Legend of White Snake, saying that Actions Pictures was a bold and arrogant challenger who dared to film the same theme as Director Jiang Heng and release it in a similar schedule. When the box office results come out, they will not be as happy as they were at the new film press conference.

When Yang Zhi, Huang Shengyi and others saw this news, they were naturally furious.

However, a group of media people's analysis is very logical and their writing is well-reasoned.

To be honest, if they were not one of the parties involved, they would have believed such reports without thinking.

But at this moment, he was not just trying to save face, but vowed to make a film that would be eye-opening.

The progress of the film is being rushed again and again.

In the blink of an eye, it was already mid-March, and Jiang Heng was going to the Shanghai Chedun Film and Television Base to guest-star in The Founding of a Republic.

He was away for a few days, and assistant director Yuan De led the crew to shoot some less important scenes.

Jiang Heng and Feng Xiaogang, who played Du Yuesheng, set out from Beijing and arrived in Shanghai by plane.

"I really envy Chairman Han!" Feng Xiaogang said with a smile on the plane.

Jiang Heng glanced at him and said nothing.

Feng Xiaogang continued, "To have a famous and influential director like you make a cameo appearance, with so many scenes to play, how much box office revenue would that bring in!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "It's not as exaggerated as you say!"

"You are being modest. If I could invite you to make a cameo appearance in my movie, the box office would at least double!"

"Not really, not really!" Jiang Heng smiled and waved his hands.

Director Feng said with a smile: "How about you take the trouble to give it a try and make a cameo appearance in Aftershock?"

Jiang Heng suppressed his smile and pondered what Feng Xiaogang had said.

Aftershock was jointly produced by Huayi and China Film Group. Needless to say, China Film Group was his old friend. The relationship between Huayi and Chairman Wang was not good, but not bad either.

When there was no direct competition for schedules, the two bosses Wang were very warm and polite when they met him.

Even though what he said was a little untrue sometimes, at least it looked acceptable.

As for director Feng Xiaogang, he has been even more enthusiastic about him in recent years. Although he did not praise him as much as he did Wang Shuo, saying "looking up and seeing the North Star", it is not much different.

Jiang Heng asked Feng Xiaogang for help with something, and he agreed without hesitation.

Thinking about it this way, it’s hard to refuse.

"When will the filming of your movie start?"

Feng Xiaogang was excited when he heard this. "In May, it will probably take four or five months to shoot. When are you free? The crew will fully cooperate!"

Jiang Heng couldn't refuse after hearing this, so he said, "Okay, after you start the machine, I'll see when I'm free!"

Feng Xiaogang laughed and his joy was beyond words.

After getting off the plane, staff from the "Founding of a Republic" crew came to pick them up. Jiang Heng and Feng Xiaogang were both in a hurry, so they went straight to the crew, put on makeup, and started filming.

Feng Xiaogang's acting skills are beyond doubt. In history, he played the role of Du Yuesheng in one take, and he was very impressive both on and off the stage.

His first scene was him sitting on a rickshaw, followed by a group of younger followers, walking in style on "Nanjing Road".

But Feng Xiaogang was seen wearing a hat, round old-fashioned sunglasses on his nose, and carrying a walking stick.

His rickshaw was also made of gold, and behind it were more than 20 bodyguards in black, which made people think of the boss of the Crocodile Gang in "Kung Fu".

The second scene is the one where Du Yuesheng meets Chiang Ching-kuo.

Jiang Heng was wearing a handsome Zhongshan suit, with a slicked-back hair, and spoke long passages fluently.

When asked by reporters, Jiang Heng replied: "This time, Ching-kuo only came to fight tigers, not flies!"

"It's easy to beat a tiger, but I'm afraid Mr. Jiang can't move an iceberg."

Jiang Heng plays the role of Chiang Ching-kuo who suddenly turns around and looks at Du Yuesheng who suddenly arrives with a walking stick.

He immediately stood up and walked under the huge red flag with a blue sky, a white sun and a flag on the ground.

"Who is this gentleman?"

"Hengshe, Du Yuesheng!"

……

Jiang Heng's acting skills are recognized as good in the circle. The scene with Feng Xiaogang was only shot twice, and it was because of other people's mistakes.

Afterwards, they rushed to the next filming location to shoot the rivalry between Chiang Ching-kuo, Kong Lingkan, Soong Mei-ling and others.

The next day, he went to Nanjing to film the dialogue scene between Chiang Kai-shek and his son with Zhang Guoli, and then rushed back to Beijing to continue filming "White Snake: Origin".

That day, Yu Dong suddenly came to the crew and said that the Film Bureau had contacted him and wanted to discuss the release of the 3D version of "Lion Camel Ridge".

Jiang Heng wondered, "What is there to talk about?"

Yu Dong said: "The leaders mean that your films are basically shown during the summer vacation and New Year's Day periods in China, and no one dares to compete. The rest of the domestic films are basically squeezed into the May Day, National Day and Spring Festival periods.

When the film "Lion Camel Ridge" was released, it received very good reviews and had high box office. I believe that after the 3D version is re-released, the box office should also be good.

So some producers and directors jointly petitioned the Film Bureau, hoping that they could help coordinate and prevent Lion Camel Ridge from being re-screened during the May Day holiday! "

Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard this, then he smiled and said, "If you say so, then let's change the time. Mainly because I think that Lion Camel Ridge has already been released, and the 3D version will not have a very high box office, so I haven't thought too much about it!"

Yu Dong laughed, "But others are afraid!"
