"Thank you, Director Jiang, for letting me, an unknown newcomer, play the leading role in a blockbuster movie. I am really grateful...!"
In the banquet hall of a five-star hotel, the crew of "Fights Break Sphere" is holding a dinner to entertain the creators and guests who are present today.
As for the reporters from major media outlets, they naturally received their travel expenses and rushed back to write their articles.
At this dinner, eating is secondary. The important thing is drinking to build relationships and feelings. After eating for a while, all kinds of toasts started.
First came the guests who arrived, and then the actors from the "Fights Break Sphere" crew.
In terms of status, the biggest star in the crew is naturally Chen Daoming.
However, given his age and status, he would not take the initiative to pay respect to Jiang Heng.
It started with Gao Yuanyuan, followed by Zhang Wei who played the male lead. He was a pure passerby and had no acting experience.
During the filming, it was all up to Jiang Heng to explain the scenes and teach him little by little. Fortunately, he had some talent, and his appearance and temperament were in line with the description in the original novel, so he perfectly interpreted the role of Xiao Yan.
At the banquet, Zhang Wei was a little shy. He toasted Jiang Heng with a glass of wine, and then just watched other people's performances with a silly smile on his face the whole time.
Some older people saw this and thought, someone with that kind of personality won’t be able to make it in the entertainment industry, he’s even worse than those girls!
Girls really need to be bolder. Guli Nazha, who plays Xiao Xun'er, had tears in her eyes when she picked up the wine glass. She looked so grateful and called Jiang Heng her mentor and mentor!
Someone joked that instead of going to Beijing Film Academy, the little girl should study with Jiang Heng. He is guaranteed to learn more and more useful things than she would at Beijing Film Academy.
Gulina said sadly, I do want to, but he has to be willing to accept me!
Then I heard someone joking, saying that Director Jiang accepted Director Guo Fan as his disciple in the filming field, and the acting skills should be passed on. The girl has such a promising future, so he should accept her as a disciple!
Jiang Heng just smiled and looked at Guli Nazha without saying anything.
The latter instantly felt enormous pressure and hostile gazes, but once in the entertainment industry, everyone is desperately looking for opportunities and trying every means to curry favor with others.
Without giving it much thought, she blurted out, "Director Jiang, I can perform well in this play entirely thanks to your guidance. Can I call you teacher in the future and ask you some questions about acting?"
Jiang Heng laughed, "Okay, but you have to figure it out yourself. If you want to ask me everything, I don't have the time!"
Liu Yifei on the side suddenly said: "If you don't understand anything, you can come and ask me. Since we are in the same company, we are also a family. You don't have to be polite."
After a few seconds of pause, he continued, "We will hold a few more sessions of the company's artist training classes. Anyone who feels that their performance needs to be improved can go and attend the classes. Director Jiang is so busy, don't bother him with simple questions!"
After this was said, the atmosphere at the table became a little dull.
Fortunately, someone came out quickly to smooth things over and the atmosphere became lively again.
Guli Nazha was naturally nervous, but also a little excited, after all, Jiang Heng agreed.
With this relationship, it will be more convenient to contact each other in the future.
As for Liu Yifei's hostility, she didn't take it too seriously.
Zhang Tianai on the side was a little frightened. She originally wanted to follow Guli Nazha's words and recognize Jiang Heng as her teacher. What a pity!
The meal lasted three or four hours and ended at around nine in the evening.
Jing Tian said he wanted to go home to be with his parents and left first.
Jiang Heng took Liu Yifei back to their residence in Beijing.
After entering the room, Liu Tianxian threw her shoes at the entrance, walked into the living room barefoot, and lay on the sofa. Jiang Heng walked up to her, pinched her chin, and said with a smile: "What, are you jealous?"
"A little bit!"
"There's nothing between us!"
"I know, but looking at her, I'm afraid something will happen in the future!"
Jiang Heng laughed, "You are always worrying about nothing. The company has signed so many female artists, and they all get along normally. There is nothing else to worry about!"
"Who knows?" The young lady pouted, looking like she knew who knew what was wrong with you.
Jiang Heng said: "Hey, you dare to question me?"
Liu Yifei acted pitifully and said, "I was wrong, uncle, I was really wrong!"
When Jiang Heng first called her by her given name, his thoughts went back to a few years ago. He sighed, "Time flies by so fast!"
Liu Yifei, who was standing by, was also filled with emotion. She immediately thought of the scene where Gulinaza wanted to recognize Jiang Heng as her teacher, and said to herself, "Don't think I don't know what you are up to. I'm here and I won't let you succeed!"
……
However, by late at night, the film reviews of "Fights Break Sphere" were basically released by major entertainment media.
Xinlang Media said: "Fights Break Sphere" is the most successful online novel adapted into a film and television work in recent years. The whole movie has a tight plot, distinctive characters, gorgeous fighting scenes, and full special effects. I believe that more and more classic online novels will be adapted into film and television dramas in the future...
Because of its status as a novel website, Penguin.com has been praising the movie "Fights Break Sphere" to the utmost, calling it "the best film in Jiang Heng's career."
Perhaps because of excessive praise, some netizens are not very convinced. After all, no matter which new film Jiang Heng releases, it will be praised by the media as "the best in his career", "the best in recent years", or "the recognized best" work, just like the term "fig leaf" in the self-media era, which is used so indiscriminately that it makes people disgusted.
Of course, the vast majority of viewers are still very satisfied with the content of the film.
Some of these people flocked to the "Fights Break Sphere" forum to write about their own viewing experience and strongly recommended watching the IMAX 3D version, saying that the visual effects were super shocking, just like when Xiao Yan went to the "three-year appointment" to fight the Yunlan Sect, they were watching from the side.
This attracted a large number of book fans to leave messages, saying that they would go to watch the movie as soon as it was released.
Most of the viewers who flocked to Douban wrote long film reviews, citing classics and writing thousands of words. Generally speaking, the reviews were mostly positive.
Of course, there will always be haters.
Some people also posted that "Fights Break Sphere" was originally a meaningless online novel, and after Jiang Hengyi's adaptation, the plot became even worse, the side lines were cut in a mess, the plot advancement was unreasonable, and so on and so forth.
The natural result was that he was scolded by Jiang Heng's fans and fans of the original novel, which was quite lively.
The next day, the crew of "Fights Break Sphere" began the preview promotion activities in major box office cities across the country. Jiang Heng went to Shanghai, and then flew to Japan and the United States for the premiere.
Time flies, and soon it is the first day of the Lunar New Year in 2012.
Because it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, there would be no midnight shows, and the audience would go out of the house after breakfast to watch movies in the cinema.
Except for some people who choose to watch cartoons with their children, most viewers chose "Fights Break Sphere" without hesitation.
After all, Jiang Heng has a good reputation, so he definitely won't cheat! (End of this chapter)
