The Chinese-language film market is a place where box office miracles occur frequently. Simply put, there will always be bad movies that make a lot of money.

I won’t mention the specific title of the film here.

As for their money-making formula, it is nothing more than a luxurious cast, some eye-catching gimmicks, and then overwhelming marketing.

Once done properly, unscrupulous film producers can make a ton of money.

A movie starring Jiang Heng certainly cannot be a bad movie.

But looking at the current cast, it goes without saying that it will be a box office hit!

Although this is just a martial arts film, the special effects scenes are limited in their shocking degree.

The problem is that the film features many action superstars such as Jiang Heng, Cheng Long, Jet Li, Sammo Hung, Zhen Zidan, Wu Jing, and Yuen Biao.

It can be said that almost all of the best action stars in Chinese-language films over the past 30 years have appeared in this film.

For example, Chow Bi-li, who once played Fujita Tsuyoshi, will play Ah San, who is good at the Vajra Finger.

Qian Xiaohao, who once shouted "My destiny is in my own hands" in "Tai Chi Master", will play Hebiweng, one of the two Xuanming Elders in the film.

It can be said that all the characters worth naming in the entire film are played by action stars.

This excited and delighted countless martial arts and action movie fans at the scene.

"Director Jiang is truly amazing. Only he could put together such a stunning cast!" One fan's voice was choked with excitement.

"Yeah, there are so many Kung Fu superstars, it's exciting just thinking about it!"

"It won't be like The Forbidden Kingdom, will it?"

"Director Jiang is here, what a joke!"

"Isn't the director Wang Jing?"

"Haven't you ever heard of the term Supreme Director?"

A group of fans were arguing in the audience, while Jiang Heng, Cheng Long and others sat on the stage.

It’s really because there are too many famous actors and it takes a long time for each of them to say a few words.

Therefore, the organizers placed a lot of chairs on the stage, making it look like a variety show interview, while Jiang Heng, Jacky Cheung, Jet Li, Sammo Hung and others sitting in the front row were sitting on sofas.

"Wow, this scene is so lively!"

Cheng Long likes the lively atmosphere, and the smile on his face never stops after he goes on stage.

This is especially true for Sammo Hung, who leans on the sofa with an even stronger aura than the big boss he played in "SPL".

Director Wang Jing, on the other hand, seemed like an invisible figure, sitting at the very edge of the front row.

When he was interviewed, the reporter asked him what he thought.

Wang Jing said with a smile: "Of course I have to thank my bosses, Director Jiang and President Yu. Without them, there would be no movie.

As everyone knows, I filmed "The Demon Cult Master" 20 years ago. It was originally planned to be a two-part film, but unfortunately the first part failed at the box office and was quickly withdrawn. There is no sign of the second part. Zhao Min's words "Come to Dadu to find me" made the audience wait for 20 years!
Now, Zhang Wuji has finally come to Dadu. Let us welcome the most handsome Zhang Wuji in history with the warmest applause!"

After Wang Jing finished speaking, the whole audience burst into applause, and countless fans present shouted "Director Jiang", "Director Jiang" in unison!
The expressions of Cheng Long and Jet Li changed a little. It was because Jiang Heng was so popular that they felt a little uncomfortable.

But this instantaneous change in expression was also captured by reporters at the scene and caused a lot of hype.

Let’s talk about Jiang Heng and start with his growth experience.

When he was young, it was the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and he grew up watching the movies of Cheng Long, Jet Li and others. It can be said that he had a dream of becoming a kung fu superstar when he was young.

It’s just that the action movie market has been sluggish in recent years, and he has always been obsessed with special effects blockbusters, so he rarely gets involved.

As for calling on all brothers to co-star in "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber" this time, it can be regarded as a dream fulfilled in childhood!
After he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause again, and the atmosphere could be said to have reached its climax.

Afterwards, top superstars such as Jackie Chan and Jet Li spoke a few words, and those who were less famous also spoke. The whole event lasted nearly two hours.

After the press conference, there is a banquet as usual.

When a group of people who have practiced martial arts get together to drink, the scene cannot be described as lively, but rather noisy, and they don't disperse until late at night.

The next day, the crew went straight to Hengdian to start filming.

Of course not everyone went there together, because some of them only made cameo appearances with just a few minutes of scenes. As long as they could join the crew according to the shooting schedule, it would be fine.

As the leading actor, Jiang Heng basically filmed from beginning to end.

On the set, whenever Jiang Heng was filming, a large group of people would come to watch.

Think about it, this Jiang Heng who is known as the best Kung Fu master in the Chinese film and television circles, how good is he when it comes to action scenes? Is he just exaggerating?

People like Zhou Bili don't have much faith in Jiang Heng's ability.

After all, there is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. If you say you are good at filming, everyone will admit it.

But if you talk about how great your kung fu is, I won’t be so convinced.

As a result, when they saw Jiang Heng performing the fighting scenes himself without a stunt double, many people's expressions changed.

"How is it? Not bad, right?" Qian Xiaohao said with a smile to Zhou Bili who was standing beside him.

The two have worked together in "Fist of Fury". Huo Tingen, played by Qian Xiaohao, and Fujita Tsuyoshi, played by Zhou Bili, have had fighting scenes. Their private relationship cannot be said to be very good, but at least they are familiar with each other.

Especially since they all came from Hong Kong to the mainland to film, their status is similar, so they naturally mixed together.

Zhou Bili nodded slightly and said seriously, "Director Jiang's reaction was very fast, his movements were very standard, and his coordination was also very good. He really has some skills!"

Qian Xiaohao smiled and said, "You have overlooked one point, which is Director Jiang's memory!"

Zhou Bili was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Qian Xiaohao was probably talking about a set of moves.

The specific moves for the action scenes were not designed long in advance, but were designed by the action director and the actors practiced them before the filming of the scene began.

Of course, there are also times when they don’t use any set moves and just fight with each other.

The movements in these sets of moves were basically improvised by the action director.

But Jiang Heng's reaction was that he could clearly remember all the moves and perform them perfectly one by one.

To use the words from martial arts novels, he can learn everything at just one glance. This is a natural martial arts genius!
Therefore, although Zhou Bili felt that Jiang Heng would definitely not be able to beat him in actual combat, he still had to admit that he was a great talent!

"By the way, pay more attention when acting with Director Jiang!" Qian Xiaohao suddenly said.

Zhou Bili smiled awkwardly, "I understand. We must use the right amount of force. If we really hurt him, even if we give him the money, it won't be enough!"

When he thought about this kind of thing, he felt a little annoyed.

Sometimes they really can’t stop fighting, and end up hurting their co-actors. As a result, it becomes increasingly difficult to get roles.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the scene of Zhang Wuji's fierce battle with Asan was filmed, and he heard the phrase "real fight" that made him shudder with fear again!
Wang Jing, who was standing by, was startled and hurried over to persuade him, "Director Jiang, this is a martial arts film, don't do that!" (End of this chapter)
