Jiang Heng initially just saw Wang Baoqi and remembered his brilliant performance in "A Man's Martial Arts" and wanted to make this movie.

Then he had the idea of ​​making a cameo appearance and acting opposite Feng Yuxiu, who was determined to "determine who is superior and who is inferior, and decide life and death."

On second thought, Zhen Zidan can act, and he himself is not bad either. Anyway, he is not planning to make a blockbuster next year, so he might as well make an action movie for fun.

But after getting home, he changed his mind again.

Instead of acting opposite Wang Baoqi, it would be more exciting to call all the well-known action actors in the entertainment industry to shoot a lively blockbuster.

But when I was thinking about what kind of action movie could use so many stars, I suddenly felt that there was no suitable story.

Especially for original themes, if there are too many characters and each person's screen time is very short, the audience will most likely be confused. The most suitable one is still a big IP.

Putting aside mythological stories, the most suitable ones are martial arts.

I immediately thought of the classic martial arts movie "The Demon Cult Leader: The Legend of the Condor Heroes". It seems that the sequel has not been released yet. It is said that Zhao Min has been waiting for Zhang Wuji in Dadu for almost twenty years. It is necessary to give an explanation to the fans!

"If I ask you to play Zhao Min, do you have the confidence to do it well?" Jiang Heng, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly asked.

"What?"

Jing Tian was stunned, his eyes wide open, Zhao Min? Weren't we talking about an action movie just now? Why did it become a martial arts movie again?

"I suddenly feel that making an action movie with Bao Qi is too petty. If we want to do it, we should go big and directly make the second half of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber, where Zhang Wuji saves the six major sects, and invite all the action stars with some fame in the entertainment industry!"

"So are you going to play Zhang Wuji?"

"Sure!"

"You play Zhang Wuji, and I will play Zhao Min!" Da Tiantian was very happy and leaned over to him.

For her, it doesn’t matter what role she plays, the most important thing is to be able to play a couple with Jiang Heng.

The next day, Jiang Heng went to the company and told Du Huan about this. The latter was shocked and stunned for several seconds.

That look seemed to be saying, you really do whatever you want!

Jiang Heng lay in the boss chair, took a puff of his cigar and asked, "Any questions?"

Du Huan said hurriedly: "No, definitely not! Is it about copyright?"

Jiang Heng said, "You go find Wang Jing and ask him to ask Boss Xiang how much the copyright for the sequel to "The Demon Cult Master" costs. If it's less, give it to him. If it's more, I'd better contact Mr. Jin Yong directly, right?"

Du Huan said that it was no problem, and analyzed: "Boss Xiang is a smart man, he won't ask for too much. The so-called sequel copyright is nothing more than a gimmick for publicity. Director Jiang, you are so famous, you don't need this little gimmick!"

Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Of course, I just think it's a pity that the film has a bad ending, so I think it's a little benefit for the fans!"

This version of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" is really well filmed and should be considered the most successful change. The good and evil Zhang Wuji, the humorous and interesting Zhang Zhenren, the compact plot, and the fighting scenes are also wonderful to watch. It is really not comparable to those later martial arts films with slow motion, spinning, and blowers.

But Du Huan went to contact Wang Jing, who was very surprised and then ecstatic.

"What does Director Jiang mean?"

"Director Jiang wants you to be the director and he will only play Zhang Wuji!"

Wang Jing smiled even brighter. "Okay, okay. This way, Director Jiang won't be considered to have broken his promise in public. After all, his main identity is a director, and he really didn't direct a blockbuster."

Du Huan rolled his eyes, thinking that this was what Director Jiang cared about, and he just didn't want to be too tired. "Director Jiang meant that we should keep a low profile during the preparation period and keep it as secret as possible for the time being. The filming will start around August or September this year."

Wang Jing chuckled, "Don't worry, I understand. I'll call you as soon as I have good news!"

After Du Huan left, Wang Jing immediately contacted Xiang Huaqi and talked for a long time before hanging up.

He immediately called Du Huan and told him the conditions there.

The other party didn't want any copyright fees, they just wanted Xiang Zuo to play a slightly more important role in the film.

After hearing this, Du Huan hurriedly reported it to Jiang Heng.

"No problem, promise him!" Jiang Heng agreed after a little thought.

Xiang Zuo's acting skills are admittedly not that good, and he can't hold up as the protagonist, but if he plays a supporting role, it's actually not a big problem.

Plus, he has a thin face, so Jiang Heng thinks he is very suitable to play the role of Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao!
He then ordered Du Huan to be in charge of the preparatory matters, contact the actors according to the list he provided, coordinate their schedules, order the screenwriting department to write the script, and then put the matter aside for the time being.

......

The Spring Festival in 2012 is on January 1, which comes earlier than usual, which means that it is now time to promote "Fights Break Sphere".

Promotional posters have been posted in all cinemas, and there are corresponding advertisements on outdoor buses and subway platforms.

Of course, these are just conventional promotional methods.

The focus of Bonna Pictures' publicity and promotion is still on the Internet.

The first important means of promotion and marketing was ticket subsidies. The company took out 9.9 million to cooperate with group buying companies to get a bunch of low-priced tickets at 19.9 and , which were warmly welcomed by movie fans.

The second is to order people to post some promotional articles, such as posting on various forums, saying that "Fights Break Sphere" is director Jiang Heng's last film at present.

After the film is released, I don’t know when I will be able to see the new film again. If you like special effects blockbusters, you must not miss it.

Then there were all kinds of "rumors". Someone claiming to be an insider said that Jiang Heng said he was tired and wanted to rest, but in fact he had made enough money and was preparing to get married secretly, start a family, and enjoy life.

There are real movie fans who care about Jiang Heng’s career and posted something asking if he would not film anymore in the future?

Some netizens responded that they would probably continue to shoot, but it would definitely not be as productive as before. It would probably be possible to produce one film every two or three years!

Many netizens agree with this statement, because this is the norm for directors!

As a result, a large number of fans spoke out online, calling for support for Jiang Heng, allowing Director Jiang to make history again in the first half of his career.

In addition to these, the publicity and promotion team also released the trailer for "Fights Break Sphere", which is amazing in terms of both special effects and fighting scenes, and more people want to watch it.

As for the tickets for the upcoming premiere, they have already been sold out, and the transaction prices in the second-hand market have reached sky-high levels.

Sunday, January 2012, 1, was also the day of the premiere ceremony of "Fights Break Sphere".

The temperature in Beijing in January was not too cold, about minus 7 or 8 degrees Celsius during the day. Zhao Qiang stayed at home during the day and re-watched "Fights Break Sphere". After having lunch, he took the bus to the Olympic venues.

He is a freshman. He was still in middle school when he first watched "Fights Break Sphere". It was the first online novel he had read. He was addicted to it at once and wished he could read it whenever he had time, day and night!
He was thinking at that time, when will he see the movie version of this book? He will definitely buy a ticket to the cinema to support it as soon as possible. (End of this chapter)
