The two of them didn't go to bed until after three in the morning. One had to shoot a movie and the other had to catch a plane. They were both bleary-eyed when they woke up.

Jiang Heng drove to the set first, while Liu Yifei washed up before calling her mother.

"get up!"

"Ok!"

"Then I'll pick you up!"

Liu Yifei did not buy a house in Huairou, and Liu Xiaoli lived in a hotel.

Of course, with the current wealth of this mother and daughter, they naturally have to stay in a five-star hotel.

Not long after, Liu Xiaoli drove over and went upstairs and knocked on the door.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Yifei came over to open the door yawning.

"You fell asleep again?"

"Well, I'm so sleepy!"

"What time did you go to bed?"

"Four o'clock almost!"

Seeing her mother's expression was not right, Liu Yifei quickly added, "We were chatting!"

Liu Xiaoli had an expression that said "Are you kidding me?" but didn't say anything.

Liu Yifei talked about Jiang Heng's plan. He had too many industries under his name, and each of them had considerable assets and profits. If he didn't sort them out and reorganize them, they might be emptied one day.

Liu Xiaoli said: "This should have been done a long time ago. Take his gaming company for example. It has a revenue of over 10 billion per year. Are you so confident in handing it over to an outsider?"

Liu Yifei said: "His game company is indeed very profitable!"

Liu Xiaoli's eyes widened as she asked, "Is that a lot of money? That's a mountain of gold! If he could give you 10% of the shares, would you still work so hard to film and perform?"

Liu Yifei said: "What are you talking about? Why would anyone give me shares?"

Liu Xiaoli said: "When we get married in the future, I will definitely give you some assets!"

Liu Yifei became inexplicably irritated when she heard this. "I'm so young now, why should I talk about marriage!"

Liu Xiaoli sneered, "If we don't talk about it now, it will be too late to talk about it later!"

Seeing her daughter's unhappy expression, Liu Xiaoli felt a little guilty, "Forget it, forget it, let's not talk about it. Anyway, he made you famous. With your current fame, we can make a lot of money!"

Liu Yifei didn't say anything. She put on her coat, picked up her bag and walked out.

Liu Xiaoli continued, "He made a special show called "Running Man" with Jing Tian. Did he say he would record an episode with you?"

"He said he was too busy. The first season had already been recorded and was about to be sold to the TV station. He said he would record an episode with me during the second season!"

Liu Xiaoli sighed upon hearing this and said, "Why is it scheduled for the second season?"

The two chatted all the way to the airport, but Jiang Heng was so sleepy after arriving on the set that he asked the assistant director and action director Yuan De to keep an eye on him for a while while he went to the RV to rest.

Yuan De looked like he understood, and said with a smile, "Spring nights are short and the sun is rising. From now on, the king will not hold court early. I thought I could have three days off!"

Jiang Heng said: "Holiday? What holiday? The filming will be finished in ten days or so! You will have time to rest by then!"

"Then I really need to take a good rest and go home to be with my wife!" Yuan De laughed.

Seeing that he was smiling happily, Jiang Heng thought it would be better to tell him about his decision to take a year off a few days later!
Speaking of Hong Kong artists, many have been married and divorced several times, have several children, and the pressure of supporting a family is particularly great.

Although Yuan De is not that kind of person, he has been with Jiang Heng for more than ten years. He must be unable to adapt to the sudden suspension of his business for a year.

Of course, with his and Yuen Wah's qualifications and fame, even if Jiang Heng closed down, they would not be without films to shoot and income. At most, their pay would be lower, and they would not be as free as they are now.

However, ten days passed in a flash, and on this day, the filming of "Black Myth: Wukong" was completed, and as usual, a wrap-up banquet was held.

At the banquet, everyone was drinking and having a great time. Someone suggested that Director Jiang say a few words to everyone.

Jiang Heng took the microphone and said that he had been busy filming for more than ten years. Fortunately, he had the support of his colleagues and the audience, and achieved impressive results time and time again. But after so many years, he was really exhausted. He planned to take a good rest and would not film next year!

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.

For some people, the alcohol in the body turns into cold sweat, and the whole person becomes clear-headed instantly?
"Director Jiang, will you continue to make movies in the future?"

"Of course, but I don't have any plans to shoot next year. I'm afraid it will affect everyone's future, so I'm just saying this!"

"call!"

The whole place was filled with sighs of relief. After all, these people had been relying on Jiang Heng for their livelihood for too long. When they suddenly heard that Jiang Heng wanted to take a break, they felt a little empty in their hearts.

But in fact, many big directors will take a good break when they have no inspiration or are not in good shape. It is not uncommon for them not to shoot a movie for three to five years, let alone a year.

It’s just that it’s really surprising that Jiang Heng suddenly wants to take a break after filming for more than ten years!

Then many people asked if it would be filmed in 13, and I got a positive answer.

So after the wrap party, many people's first reaction after leaving the hotel was to call people they were close to, familiar with, and trusted.

"I have a big news for you. Director Jiang is going to take a year off in 12 and won't be filming any more movies this year!"

"No, is it true or not?"

"He just said it himself at the wrap party, so of course it's true!"

"Fuck, that means that none of Director Jiang's films will be shown during the 13 Spring Festival and 13 Summer?"

"Well, that's the theory!"

“Fuck! It’s the spring of Chinese-language films!”

"What are you talking about?"

"Well, I mean, if Director Jiang doesn't make a movie, it's a good opportunity for other directors to take over. Let me tell you, the film market is bustling now!"

When the messenger heard it, it was indeed the case.

Director Jiang's film will be absent from the two important schedules of spring and summer 13. Other directors will definitely be eyeing it and the competition will be very fierce. A number of film companies will also seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make blockbusters!

Similar conversations were repeated throughout the night.

In a club in the capital.

Wang Zhonglei was attending a dinner party when he casually answered a phone call and immediately his expression became serious.

"What did you say? Is there such a thing? Oh, that's a good opportunity. Okay, we'll talk about the details later!"

After he hung up, someone asked him what kind of call he had made with such a serious expression.

Wang Zhonglei chuckled, "This is really a big event in the Chinese entertainment industry. Jiang Heng announced at the wrap-up party just now that he will suspend filming for a year in 12!"

"Fuck!"

"No!"

"seriously?"

The people at this table also asked three questions at once, and some of them couldn't believe their ears.

After all, Jiang Heng is like a big devil at the moment, monopolizing the two best time slots of Spring Festival and summer vacation, suppressing other companies and directors so that they cannot stand out!

When audiences think of special effects blockbusters, they think of Jiang Heng’s. There is almost no “living space” for other big directors.

But once Jiang Heng is absent, everyone's chance will come.

Wang Zhonglei was not in the mood to eat at this moment. After chatting for a while, he left early and called his elder brother and Feng Xiaogang to discuss the shooting plan for next year.

If the news is true, Huayi will definitely have a blockbuster movie.

In addition, the "Detective Dee" series that I collaborated with Xu Ke can also have a sequel. (End of this chapter)
