Chapter 358: Master, Master, Master

When the filming of "Under One Person" was in full swing, Zhang Yimou came with his new script "Under the Hawthorn Tree".

He had a falling out with Zhang Weiping, who asked him to quickly shoot a new movie. Zhang Yimou said, you said before that you would give me a share of the profits, so you have to give me this money!
Zhang Weiping was still perfunctory, but Zhang Yimou said, I need money now!

Zhang Weiping said that they needed to wait a little longer, so Zhang Yimou said nothing more and left.

Zhang Weiping wanted to give it some thought at first, but when he wanted to find him, he could no longer contact Zhang Yimou.

Later, he heard the news that Zhang Yimou had become a contracted director and art director of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures, and would direct his new film "Under the Hawthorn Tree". He was instantly furious.

However, iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are very powerful, and Jiang Heng’s wealth, status and connections are not something he can afford to offend, so he can only swallow his anger for the time being.

Jiang Heng called over several senior executives of the company and took time out to host a "welcoming banquet" for Zhang Yimou.

Although Lao Mouzi seems to have a mediocre reputation among young people, it has to be admitted that he is one of the best directors in the country.

His joining iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video will be very beneficial to the development of the company.

As for young directors like Ning Hao, most of them prefer to open studios and maintain a cooperative model with iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video.

Therefore, although Jiang Heng does not make many films every year, the number of films produced and released by the company is quite large.

iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video’s position as the number one in the domestic film industry has become increasingly solid.

"Come on, congratulations to Director Zhang for joining the iQiyi, Youku and Tencent family. From now on, you make your own decisions on filming, and consult Du Huan about spending money. If it's over 200 million, tell me! If you need any help in life, you can tell me!"

Jiang Heng raised his glass and spoke with the airs of a big boss.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yimou hurriedly clinked glasses with Jiang Heng. Although he was much older than him, he was very humble.

"Thank you Director Jiang for 'taking me in' and trusting me! I won't say much, I'll just work hard on filming, make profits for the company, and win honors!"

Du Huan said, "Lao Zhang, I'm telling you, Director Jiang will definitely not let you suffer any loss, so just do your job with confidence!"

Zhang Yimou nodded and said yes. Du Huan asked again: "I heard that you had some financial disputes with Zhang Weiping?"

Although he had "broken up" with Zhang Weiping, Zhang Yimou was somewhat unable to avoid the blame of criticizing his "old boss" in front of his "new boss".

"Hey, it's just a misunderstanding. I'll talk to him later and we can sort it out!"

“You…!”

Du Huan was halfway through his words when he saw Jiang Heng shaking his head slightly, so he stopped talking.

Little did he know that the "two Zhangs" would end up in court.

However, in Jiang Heng's opinion, since Zhang Yimou felt that he could get the money, he should just go and ask for it. If he really encountered something difficult to resolve, he would step in himself.

As the saying goes, it is better to provide timely help than to add icing on the cake!
Some time later, after the scenes at Mount Longhu were finished, the crew returned to Beijing to shoot outdoor scenes and special effects scenes.

Jiang Heng asked the crew to leave first, and he went to the "Wolf Warrior" crew in Jinling to guest-star as Leng Feng's instructor.

When they heard that Jiang Heng was coming, the crew members were very excited.

Especially Zhuang Xiaolong, who was a former special forces soldier. He always pestered Wu Jing and asked, "Director Jiang, is it really that amazing?"

"Of course!"

"But he's so busy and he's a big director, does he have time to practice?"

Wu Jing was also puzzled and couldn't figure this out, so he said: "Maybe it's just talent. If he practices martial arts, he can also become a martial arts-level athlete!"

"Then tell me, I want to compete with Director Jiang, will he agree?"

Wu Jing hurriedly said, "Don't mess around. Director Jiang's schedule is very tight, so how can he have time to care about you?"

Zhuang Xiaolong smiled awkwardly, "I'm just curious. Do you remember that Director Jiang said on Weibo before that he was a master, and the whole Internet was boiling! You said that after he comes, I will have a competition with him, and then the crew will issue a statement saying that Director Jiang is invincible in the entire crew and is a true master of a master of a master!"

Wu Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said, "Fuck, that's not right, with your intelligence, you can't come up with such a good idea?"

Zhuang Xiaolong rolled his eyes at Wu Jing and said, "Just tell me whether this is a good idea or not." Wu Jing was a little hesitant because the traffic that Jiang Heng's guest appearance brought to Wolf Warrior was really huge.

If Zhuang Xiaolong's idea goes ahead, it will definitely be big news, at least it will be on the hot search list on Weibo!
Although he felt it was inappropriate, he still couldn't bear to refuse, and finally said: "Don't say anything when the time comes, I'll test his attitude first!"

"I know. Do you think I only practice Kung Fu and don't have any brains?"

Wu Jing smiled, "Looking at your usual behavior, it's hard to say whether you have a brain or not!"

"Fuck!"

When Wu Jing went to the army to experience life, he became friends with Zhuang Xiaolong, so there were so many taboos when they talked.

At noon, Wu Jing drove to the airport to pick up Jiang Heng and his group.

On the way to the crew, he tentatively mentioned Zhuang Xiaolong's proposal.

Jiang Heng smiled and didn't refuse immediately. He just said, "That sounds good!"

In fact, he also does fitness and boxing in his spare time, and he knows all kinds of routines by heart, but he lacks practical experience.

After all, with his wealth and status, it is impossible for him to go on the ring.

There is no need to mention the sparring partners in the boxing gym. Even if they win the fight, it does not reflect their true level.

Jiang Heng does have bodyguards, but they are no match for him now. However, since they have been with him for a long time and he has never encountered any danger, he has not thought about changing them.

Recently, he really wanted to find a stronger opponent to fight with.

Soon we arrived at the crew and everyone came out to greet us.

After a brief greeting, Zhuang Xiaolong looked at Wu Jing, who hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

Zhuang Xiaolong said, "Now everyone says that Director Jiang is the best fighter in the mainland entertainment industry. He has real kung fu skills. Can you show us some of your skills and open our eyes?"

Jiang Heng smiled and waved his hand, saying, "I can't say I have real kung fu, I just practiced some moves. I can't compare to you special forces soldiers, you have learned killing skills!"

Zhuang Xiaolong smiled innocently, "Don't use those moves carelessly!"

Jiang Heng said, "I remember that the scene where Big Brother Cheng Long sparred with the Chief Instructor of the Armed Police in Super Cop was quite interesting. I've always wanted to recreate that classic. How about we stop here and spar with each other?"

Zhuang Xiaolong was overjoyed, "Okay!"

Wu Jing suddenly looked troubled, because the crew was so busy filming and was exhausted every day. It was not difficult to think through many things.

Only at this moment did he realize that if Jiang Heng got injured during the sparring, it would delay the filming.

So he asked, "Well, do you want to wait until the filming is over before we discuss it?"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "It's okay, right?"

When Zhuang Xiaolong saw Jiang Heng asking him, he hurriedly said, "It's okay, it must be okay!"

In his opinion, he should hold back a bit and not use his powerful killing moves.

When he didn't really want to compete, he was no match for Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng seemed to be able to predict his moves and was always one step ahead. Plus, he couldn't use his killer moves, so he was timid and fell into a disadvantage in an instant.

The rest of the crew were stunned. They had always heard that Jiang Heng was very powerful, but they just thought it was a rumor and that he was just good at practicing the routines.

I don't want to fight like this, it looks pretty powerful!
Zhuang Xiaolong was stunned by the blow. When he wanted to fight back with all his strength, Jiang Heng had already stepped back and said with a smile, "Let's call it a draw, how about that?"

Zhuang Xiaolong knew that he had already lost. After all, it was impossible for him to really kill him. Besides, how could you be sure that Jiang Heng would not do those things?

He smiled awkwardly and said, "Director Jiang is still better. It's a pity that you are so good at kung fu but don't act in action movies!"
