Chapter 373 "War of Liches"

In fact, there is not much room for choice in prehistoric stories.

The only things that can be filmed are ancient mythological stories and the contents of "The Buddha is the Tao".

Jiang Heng is determined to create the "Chinese Mythology Movie Universe", so naturally he would choose "The Buddha is the Tao", which has a rigorous and grand system and restructures the Chinese mythology story.

As for the film and television rights of this book, they have been obtained long ago.

Over the years, Jiang Heng has ordered many people to purchase the film and television copyrights of popular novels, and he has hoarded a large amount of them.

Therefore, you don’t have to worry about copyright.

All I have to worry about is which book and which segment to shoot first.

But after much thought, the most suitable and appropriate part is the "War of the Liches".

The reason is very simple. In the movie "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother" which he directed and starred in, he repeatedly mentioned the plot setting of "Witch-Lich War".

For example, the weakness of the Jade Emperor lies in that after the "War of Liches and Wizards", he entered the Heavenly Palace alone. Even though he had enormous magical powers, he used them to suppress the shattered "Zhou Tian Xing Dou", and was unable to take care of the Emperor Gou Chen.

Therefore, after the release of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", many viewers were curious about the plot setting of the "War of the Liches", and thought that Jiang Heng would release a prequel to tell this story.

I didn't want to wait for several years without seeing a sequel, but the online literature circle came up with a fantasy masterpiece "The Buddha is the Tao", which tells the story clearly.

Because of its relevance to the content of "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother", this life's "Buddha's Original Story" is even more popular, and there has been a lot of calls for it to be adapted into a film or TV series.

Once "Lich Wars" is approved, it will probably shock the entertainment and online literature circles instantly.

Jiang Heng had a plan in mind, but he didn't say it out loud immediately. Instead, he called all the executives involved in the film production to the conference room and ordered them to discuss it.

Although he can make the decision on his own, he cannot let the people below just sit there and do nothing. He always has to consider the development of the company. Besides, he also wants to see if there are any suitable talents.

"Director Jiang, I think it's better to shoot "The Buddha is the Tao". The setting of this book is rigorous and grand, and there are many characters in it. There are personal battles, enlightenment, and ancient wars between wizards and liches."

"I think it's better to shoot Nezha. After shooting these two films, we can shoot King Wu's Conquest of King Zhou. The audience is familiar with the story of Conferred Gods and can understand it better."

In the conference room, everyone was discussing very intensely, and everyone had their own reasons, which sounded quite plausible.

Jiang Heng looked like he was listening carefully, but he was actually paying attention to everyone's performance, to see which ones were just talking in general terms and which ones were clearly putting their heart into it.

After discussing for a while, Jiang Heng glanced at his watch and nodded slightly, "Okay, let's stop here for today. If you have any comments, you can send them to me later!"

Upon hearing this, everyone dispersed.

Jiang Heng returned to the office and asked Cui Zhenzhen to bring him a cup of coffee.

After sitting down at my desk, I began to write the detailed outline of "War of the Liches".

After a while, Cui Zhenzhen knocked on the door and came in, "Director Jiang, Miss Yang Mi is here and wants to see you!"

Jiang Heng was stunned when he heard this, because after Yang Mi became famous for "Palace Lock Heart Jade", she received too many invitations for film, television and variety shows, and she was usually not seen.

I came back for the premiere of "The Legend of Little Soldiers" and also attended the dinner.

But there were so many people that day that we didn't get to say much.

So Yang Mi gave him the feeling that he hadn't seen this person for at least half a year.

"Invite her in!"

"Ok!"

Yang Mi quickly followed Cui Zhenzhen into the room. She was wearing a set of light-colored denim shorts, revealing her slender white legs, a black T-shirt, and sunglasses and a baseball cap.

After entering the room, Yang Mi took off her sunglasses and hat and said enthusiastically, "Director Jiang, long time no see. I really missed you so much!" Jiang Heng stood up and shook hands with her, smiling and politely said, "Long time no see. I miss you golden flowers too. You are all busier than the other. I haven't seen any of you for so many days!"

Yang Mi laughed, "I would like to be the most beautiful flower in this office, but it seems there is no room for me!"

Jiang Heng laughed, "Actually, I have a lot of properties, I can clean up a lot of offices!"

Yang Mi glanced at Jiang Heng with resentment, "It counts if you stay longer!"

The two chatted for a while and then sat down.

Of course, Yang Mi didn't come back this time to reminisce with Jiang Heng.

But she knew that Jiang Heng was going to start a new play, and wanted to see if she could get the female lead.

After all, she is a member of iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, but the contracts of Liu Yifei and Jing Tian have not been signed. It is unacceptable that Jiang Heng has been using company resources to promote outsiders!
Furthermore, her agent told her that Jiang Heng was interested in making a prehistoric film, which would probably include many female characters.

Yang Mi’s identity and status don’t pose a problem for her to get a role, but the difference between a good role and a bad one is huge.

It is said that Liu Yifei and Jing Tian have obtained a lot of high-quality film and television resources from the company in recent years, but the roles obtained by Jing Tian are obviously better than those of Liu Yifei.

It is said that Jiang Heng wrote "Under One Person" out of guilt, and gave the most popular role of Feng Baobao to Liu Yifei.

Yang Mi knew that she would most likely not be able to compete with Liu Yifei and Jing Tian, ​​but she still had to try her best.

"Director Jiang, is there a role suitable for me in your new film?"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Of course there is!"

"One of the Seven Fairies?" Yang Mi asked sadly.

The works of Jiang Heng that she has starred in in recent years are basically of this type, which leaves her no room to perform!
Well, not really!
She played the sharp-tongued Seventh Fairy who mocked Sun Wukong.

The result is that it leaves a negative impression on the audience. How can this be fatal?

Jiang Heng knew that this girl was somewhat dissatisfied. He thought that it had been quite a while since she changed jobs here. She would come to him from time to time and expressed her strong desire to improve herself. So he decided to pick a slightly more important role for her to play this time!

Thinking of this, Xu Nuo said, "Well, don't worry, I will give you priority this time!"

"Thank you, Director Jiang. Look, I have finally come back. Can I treat you to a meal as a token of my gratitude? It will only take an hour!" Da Mimi said pitifully.

Jiang Heng glanced at his watch, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You must have calculated the time, it's just time for dinner!"

"Really? I didn't notice that!" Yang Mi looked embarrassed.

The two went out for lunch, and Jing Tian called on the way, and it turned out that they were together.

Unexpectedly, these girls called me one after another as if they had made an appointment.

Liu Yifei, Tang Yan, Gao Yuanyuan, Clara, Zhao Liying…

Jiang Heng smiled awkwardly, "Did you guys make an appointment?"

Yang Mi waved her hands quickly, "Of course not, why would I invite them together!"

More and more beautiful female stars wanted to come, so the place they had originally chosen was no longer suitable.

Jiang Heng had no choice but to change to a large private room to dine with the beauties.

These people are naturally targeting the female characters in Jiang Heng's new film. After all, Jiang Heng's films have extremely high box office, traffic and popularity.

As long as they play roles that are outstanding and perform normally, their careers will most likely reach a new level.
