At the end of August, Jiang Heng flew back to China.

Because they had to keep their itinerary secret, he and Liu Yifei went their separate ways, with the latter going to Shanghai first to participate in a movie promotion event.

Jiang Heng flew directly to Beijing, returned to his mansion, and rested for a day before going to the company.

A group company meeting was held in the morning, and the recent development status of many subsidiaries was heard.

It was not until the afternoon that I had time to have detailed discussions with the CEOs of each subsidiary.

The first one on the list is Yu Dong, because Jiang Heng’s work arrangements for a period of time afterwards are all related to him.

The first one is the celebration banquet for "Black Myth: Wukong". Since Yu Dong is in charge of the whole thing, he still needs to discuss some details with Jiang Heng.

The second is the sequel to "The Demon Cult Leader: The Legend of the Condor Heroes", which, as previously agreed, will be produced by Bonanza Pictures and directed by Wang Jing, and will soon start filming.

But after Yu Dong entered the room, the first thing he talked about was "The Man from Macau".

"Director Jiang, your popularity in China is incredible! Even though you didn't go to the premiere, you made a congratulatory video and excited the fans!"

It turns out that when the premiere of "The Man from Macau" was held at the end of July, Jiang Heng was on vacation overseas. He didn't want to travel a long way, so he recorded a blessing video and released it before the film was shown at the ceremony. It actually received applause from the audience. It can only be said that fans are always more tolerant of their idols.

The movie "The Man from Macau" also won recognition from the audience due to Jiang Heng's participation, investment, and quality upgrade.

It has grossed over 8 million yuan at the box office since its release. It is estimated that it will have no problem breaking 9 million yuan by the time the film is released, which is nearly double the previous one!

"It was mainly because I didn't adapt to the local climate during those few days and I wasn't feeling well!"

Jiang Heng said with a hint of apology. After all, he felt a little guilty about what they had agreed upon.

Yu Dong chuckled and said, "I understand, I understand!"

Jiang Heng smiled awkwardly and stopped talking about this topic. He took out a cigar and threw it over to Yu Dong, then asked him how the arrangements were going with the crew of The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

Yu Dong said: "Everything is ready, the actors' schedules have been coordinated, and we are just waiting for you to join the crew."

Jiang Heng nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It's not easy!"

"Indeed, but it's really worth it when you think about it!" Yu Dong sighed.

According to Jiang Heng's expectation, this movie will have a full cast of martial arts stars, and all the major and minor roles in the film will be played by well-known action actors.

It is not easy to invite people, bargain, and coordinate schedules.

Among these action actors, there are two that are a little troublesome. One is Brother Cheng Long. He has no problem making a cameo appearance, but he said he wants to play Zhang Sanfeng.

Because he thought the fat man Zhang Sanfeng played by Sammo Hung in "The Demon Cult Master" was really handsome, and he also wanted to give it a try.

The problem is that the role of Zhang Sanfeng has already been chosen by Zhen Zidan, and Yu Dong really doesn’t think that Cheng Long’s image is suitable.

After much persuasion, I finally got my eldest brother to change his role.

The second slightly troublesome one is Jet Li, whose asking price is too high.

Yu Dong bargained for a long time, but in the end, it was Jiang Heng who made a phone call and finally settled the matter.

As for other action stars, except for those who couldn't change their schedules, they basically agreed as soon as they were asked.

After all, it is a martial arts blockbuster starring Jiang Heng. You can imagine how high the traffic and attention will be. It is a rare opportunity!

Yu Dong also talked about the first reaction of the crowd when he found a group of action stars, and said with a smile: "It is what everyone expected, and everyone is looking forward to it!"

Jiang Heng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Not really!"

"Really, there are still a lot of martial arts movie fans in China, but there are too few good ones."

Jiang Heng chuckled. He wanted to say that martial arts movies were really declining, and he wanted to film it just for fun.

But seeing that Yu Dong was in high spirits, he didn't pour cold water on him.

After chatting for a while, Yu Dong left and the boss of Good Time Special Effects Company came in.

Because Jiang Heng didn't shoot a special effects blockbuster this year, the special effects company lost its own orders, but was overwhelmed by other film and television companies. It received a lot of special effects orders and was very prosperous. Jiang Heng asked him to come over just to ask about the company's specific situation. He had no interest in the order requirements of various companies.

The boss of Good Times couldn't help but say, "Hey, we didn't receive many orders before, but now we have learned a lot. We are reluctant to spend money on special effects, and our requirements are relatively low. We just want something similar, but we want the progress to be fast!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "Why do people always say on the Internet that domestic TV dramas and movies all have cheap special effects?"

The boss of Good Times was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "Then they must be talking about movies other than yours. The movies you make are all big productions with hundreds of millions of dollars. The special effects costs, converted into RMB, start at 1 billion!"

Jiang Heng said: "You get what you pay for!"

"That's right, that's right, you're the only one in China who's willing to spend so much money and pays so much attention to quality!"

After chatting for a while, Jiang Heng looked at his watch, and the man tactfully left.

Jiang Heng called Jing Tian, ​​who said in a muffled voice, "Oh, the king remembered me?"

"You should say 'constable'!" Jiang Heng said with a smile.

"Ahhh, I'm so mad, I'm going to bite you to death!"

"Then come here!"

"Hey, wait, I'll be right there!"

After Da Tiantian hung up the phone, she hurried to wash and put on makeup.

During the time Jiang Heng was abroad, she basically stayed at home watching TV series and playing games.

Occasionally I go out shopping and eating, and then go home to lie down. I am a real stay-at-home girl.

Zhao Liying also advised her that if she felt bored, she could go out for a trip, or if that didn't work, she could go and make a guest appearance in a TV drama crew.

But Jing Tian just felt it was boring and continued to stay at home and waste time until Jiang Heng finally came back.

After taking a shower and putting on beautiful makeup, Jing Tian drove out in his Ferrari and soon arrived at the iQiyi Film Building.

"Miss Jing!"

"Miss Jing!"

Along the way, there were always staff members greeting her.

Jing Tian, ​​wearing sunglasses and bright lipstick, just nodded slightly and went straight to Jiang Heng's office.

Pushing the door open, Jing Tian saw Jiang Heng sitting on the sofa watching a tablet. He rushed over and opened his mouth towards Jiang Heng's neck, pretending to bite him.

Jiang Heng's assistant Cui Zhenzhen came over to close the door. When she saw it, she quickly turned her head, closed her eyes, and closed the door from the outside.

Inside the house, Jiang Heng tilted his head and said, "I haven't washed it yet!"

Da Tiantian spat softly on her hand and was about to apply it on Jiang Heng's neck.

Jiang Heng tilted his head and said, "Hey, haven't seen you for over a month, are you playing dirty?"

Da Tiantian said: "Let me see if it is really dirty!"

Jiang Heng didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He felt that the girl did it on purpose.

"Stop making trouble, I'll take you to eat something delicious later!"

Jing Tian chuckled and said, "The delicious food is right here!"

Seeing Jiang Heng's surprised expression, he added, "I'm not a delicate queen. I have strength and means!"

"Elder Tang, just obey!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "You little devil, go home!" (End of this chapter)
