Lao Mouzi is still very strong. In his previous life, after 2020, he was still able to shoot box office hits such as "Red River", "Article ", and "Above the Cliff", so Jiang Heng must have made a profit by signing him under his company.
But a film like "The Great Wall" is not good. Firstly, it is neither fish nor fowl, and secondly, Director Zhang's storytelling ability really needs to be improved.
Jiang Heng’s idea is that fantasy and monster movies can be made, but the stories have to be written by everyone together.
Zhang Yimou listened to this without commenting or expressing any emotion. Although he was born into an art film industry, he is a very practical person.
He would definitely be very unhappy if he was given random orders or blind advice by someone who didn't understand the business.
But Jiang Heng is obviously stronger in the field of commercial films, so naturally he would not resist Jiang Heng helping him revise the script.
His main job is a director, and he was so happy that there was an expert willing to help him revise the script!
Then he talked about Jiang Heng wanting to take a break, Zhang Yimou said: "It's true that you should take a good rest. You are not young anymore, and your main job is directing. Getting married and starting a family will not affect your career development. It's time to think about it!"
Jiang Heng looked embarrassed when he heard this. He didn't have much contact with relatives on both sides of his parents' side, and apart from his mother occasionally mentioning it when she called, no one had ever advised him like this.
He just said, "Well, I'll consider it!"
Because they were very busy today, the two of them didn't talk much and just went their separate ways after finishing a pot of tea.
Zhang Yimou's wife drove to pick him up, so Jiang Heng could only wait for the driver.
After getting in the car, the driver still has to ask where you are going.
There was no way. Jiang Heng had too many houses. If he said he was going home, the driver would still ask, which house!
"Xiagong Mansion!"
This is a luxury house that Jiang Heng bought this year. It is located on Wangfujing West Street and is very close to the Forbidden City.
After buying it, I have always lived there alone and never brought anyone with me.
The driver didn't say much. He drove Jiang Heng to the community parking lot and left. Jiang Heng sat in the car and smoked for a while before going upstairs.
The house is a five-bedroom apartment of more than 500 square meters. It is really large, but it is a pity that he lives alone.
In front of the living room window, Jiang Heng couldn't help but wonder whether he should really consider marriage.
But when I thought about married life, I gave up the idea. Let’s wait a few years!
Wash up and go to bed.
The next day, I slept until around ten in the morning.
I opened my phone and saw a bunch of WeChat messages.
Jing Tian sent a message in the morning, asking where Jiang Heng was and whether he wanted to pick him up. After waiting for a while and seeing no response from Jiang Heng, he went to the company first.
Liu Yifei was out of town at the moment and shared a photo of breakfast with him, saying that after this busy period, she wanted to travel to Europe with Jiang Heng.
Yang Mi sent a message saying that Guo Jinming contacted her and expressed his admiration for Director Jiang and wanted to have dinner together if he had time.
Forget about the first two, Jiang Heng directly replied to Yang Mi's question: "I don't have time recently, and I have a lot of things scheduled for the future!"
In the coffee shop, Yang Mi saw the news and looked a little embarrassed.
Guo Jinming on the other side looked expectant, "Did Director Jiang get back to you?"
"Well, he said he's been busy lately and his schedule is full!"
"Oh, that's how it is!"
When Guo Jinming heard such an answer, he was naturally very disappointed, but he did not dare to feel resentful.
Because the gap is so big, it is normal not to see each other.
"It's a pity that Director Jiang didn't like what I wrote. It would be great if he could shoot 'Lord of the Rings'!"
Yang Mi smiled awkwardly, "Director Jiang seems to prefer online novels!"
Guo Jinming sighed, "What a pity, what a pity!"
……
When Jiang Heng arrived at iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video, it was already past one in the afternoon.
Many people in the company were taking a lunch break, while Jing Tian was playing League of Legends on his computer in his office.
Seeing Jiang Heng push the door open and come in, he said, "Brother, you're sleeping so late. If you stay up any later, you'll be off work!"
Jiang Heng chuckled, walked over and rubbed Jing Tian's head, then looked at the screen and found that the Teemo she was using was killed by the opponent. "Why did you choose this again?"
The young lady smiled sweetly: "It's fun!"
Jiang Heng said: "If I had known you loved to play so much, I should have let you be a permanent female guest on "Running Man"!"
Da Tiantian smiled awkwardly, "No, I can't react when playing games!"
Jiang Heng thought about her performance during the first season of "Running Man" and nodded, "Indeed!"
Jing Tian said coquettishly: "Oh, you actually said that to me!"
Jiang Heng smiled awkwardly, "It just shows that you have a simple mind!"
"Humph, you just think I'm stupid!"
The young lady had an angry expression, but she looked very cute.
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Watch some games!"
The young lady finally reacted and said "Hey", "Hey", "Oh my God" several times in succession. The Teemo she was using was killed by the opponent again.
"Humph, they always bully me, brother!"
"No problem, I'll do it!"
Jiang Heng stood up and played the second half for Jing Tian. Although it couldn't be said that he turned the tide, at least they won.
After exiting the game, the two began to talk about their recent work.
The post-production of "Black Myth: Wukong" is already in progress, and the release of "Primordial Chaos: The Fall of Heaven" is nearing completion, so there is no need to worry about promotion.
As for the box office revenue, that will be several months later. Even big directors will have payment terms.
As for other TV series produced by the company, they were all in charge of Li Xiaoping, and everything was well organized, so there was no need for Jiang Heng to intervene.
The only one that is relatively important and has not been finalized is "Running Man".
Jiang Heng strongly advocated the introduction of Korean copyright, and popular stars such as Deng Chao served as permanent guests.
The most important thing is that the special guests of the first episode of the first season of the show are Jiang Heng and Jing Tian. The game related to "The Legend of White Snake" was filmed in Hangzhou. Just thinking about it makes you feel that the ratings will explode!
Therefore, all the domestic satellite TV channels with some strength are trying to get this variety show.
Some want to spend money, some want to build connections. For example, Beijing Satellite TV hired a middleman to make the connection.
This made Li Xiaoping afraid to make the decision, so she could only ask Jiang Heng to decide which platform to broadcast this variety show on.
Da Tiantian came to the company so early because she was actually concerned about this matter.
Her focus is not where it will be broadcast, but when it will be finalized and when it can be broadcast.
She was looking forward to seeing her and Jiang Heng's performance on the show and the audience's response. She was really looking forward to it.
"Which TV station do you want Running Man to be broadcast on, brother? Isn't it too late to be sure?"
Jiang Heng said: "It's OK, it will be finalized soon, just in time for the broadcast on New Year's Day!"
"Really? It will be broadcast on New Year's Day? That's great! Baby asked me about it, I'll tell her right now!"
"Huh? When did you two get together?" Jiang Heng wondered.
"When we were recording, she added me on WeChat and later asked me to go shopping with her!"
"Oh!"
Jiang Heng thought to himself, she still has some ideas!
Jing Tian was typing on his phone and said, "By the way, you haven't told me where it's being broadcast!"
"Well, it's probably Beijing Satellite TV!"
"Really?"
"What's real or fake? If you pay enough money, it will be yours!" (End of this chapter)
