Chapter 92: Around the Atlantic
Jiang Heng could see the suspicion in Han Sanping's eyes, and said with a wry smile: "As the saying goes, just do good things and don't worry about the future! I have made a lot of money in the mainland, and I have been thinking about how to give back, but I haven't figured out how to do it. Let's talk about this today, so let's donate some first!"

Han Sanping became more and more shocked. After all, although his status and rank were high, his wealth was nothing compared to Jiang Heng's.

One hundred million is not a small sum for an individual, but also for China Film Group!

For example, if he wants to invest 100 million yuan to make a movie, it is not something that can be decided just by saying something or patting his thigh.

Jiang Heng is so good. It was just a joke, but he went straight to the point. It’s so cool!
"If you really do this, you'll be doing a great thing!" Han Sanping's expression was moved and he patted Jiang Heng on the shoulder.

At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "From now on, I don't know how many people will regard you as Shancai Tongzi and want to beg for alms from you!"

"Media reporters...!"

Jiang Heng interrupted Han Sanping halfway through his words, "There's no need to report it in the media. It won't be a good thing if it's reported. Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"

After hearing this, Han Sanping didn't know what to say for a moment. He raised his right thumb and silently clicked "like"!
After thinking for a while, he said, "Don't worry, even if the media doesn't report this, the leaders will see it, and it will definitely be good for you in the future!"

Jiang Heng waved his hands hurriedly, "I really haven't thought about it so much. I just want to spend some money to build some good houses for the children in the mountains in the southwest. Forget it, let's not talk about this for now. I'll prepare it later, establish the project, and transfer the money!"

Han Sanping felt a little strange, but since Jiang Heng said so, it was naturally not appropriate to continue talking about this topic.

After thinking for a while, he suddenly asked, "By the way, have you thought about the next movie? Are you going to make a sequel to The Matrix?"

Jiang Heng said: "Next, I'm going to make a film about Yang Jian splitting the mountain to save his mother. It's the sequel to The Matrix, so let's put it off for now!"

"Yang Jian split the mountain to save his mother, but he is not as famous as Chen Xiang!"

Han Sanping frowned slightly, paced a few steps and said, "If we film Chenxiang splitting the mountain to save his mother, the opponent is Erlang Shen, which is very oppressive. And if the master Sun Wukong appears, it will be more interesting!"

In fact, Sun Wukong has nothing to do with the original version of The Lotus Lantern. Han Sanping was talking about the plot in the 99 animated film The Lotus Lantern produced by Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio.

This animated film is really well made and the voice acting is amazing.

Erlang Shen voiced by Jiang Wen and Sun Wukong voiced by Chen Peisi both left a deep impression on the audience.

Jiang Heng said, "I don't really like the character of Chen Xiang!"

Han Sanping was speechless for a long time. This reason was so damn powerful!
"Okay, you're the director, so you have to make the film according to your wishes. As long as China Film Group can participate in the investment, that's fine!"

Jiang Heng smiled: "That's inevitable!"

The two chatted for a while, and a secretary brought a report on the release of Pacific Rim in other regions.

If it were released in Hong Kong, it would naturally be a hot hit, with a huge box office and a huge crowd of viewers.

After all, in the eyes of most Hong Kong audiences, the director of this movie is a Hong Kong native, and many scenes were also shot in Hong Kong. The most exciting fighting scene in the film is still the "Battle of Hong Kong", so we must support it!

Coincidentally, Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer" will also be released at the same time, scheduled for July 7, one day earlier than "Pacific Rim".

Both films use visual effects as their selling point. Released in the same period, it was like a collision between Mars and the Earth, instantly igniting Hong Kong's summer season.

This gave many Hong Kong filmmakers the illusion that Hong Kong films were experiencing a revival, and they rushed to the cinema to watch blockbuster films, hoping to see if there was anything they could learn from them.

The genius director Wang Jing is one of them. He first watched Stephen Chow's "Shaolin Soccer". Although he thought the movie was very good, he had not yet come up with a good idea on how to follow the trend.

The next day, I went to see Pacific Rim again and was shocked beyond words by the visual effects of the film.

I really didn't expect that Jiang Heng's special effects blockbusters are so powerful that they surpass the level of Hollywood.

In comparison, many Chinese-language films are still using cheap special effects.

"Hmm, 50-cent special effects?" Wang Jing got an idea instantly and muttered the title of the movie again, "Pacific Rim, Atlantic Rim, I can definitely use 50-cent special effects and similar creativity to copy another one!"

Wang Jing was so excited that he almost screamed out.

After watching the film, I hurried home and spent the whole night writing the script for "Atlantic Rim".

The next day, he called Lin Xiaoming, the boss of Huanyu Entertainment, and said, "Boss Lin, I have a good idea. How about we work together?"

Lin Xiaoming is the investor of "Shaolin Soccer". He is feeling depressed because the movie was released at the same time as "Pacific Rim"!
"What's the matter? Don't tell me you're going to spoof Shaolin Soccer, or I'll be angry!"

Wang Jing chuckled, "Definitely not!"

"Then who are you?"

"Around the Atlantic, are you interested?"

Lin Xiaoming was lying on the sofa, but he sat up immediately after hearing this. "Around the Atlantic? Is the script finished?"

"Since I can call you, I must have written it!"

"Come right over, I'll be waiting for you in the office!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoming still couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart.

Although "Shaolin Soccer" had good reputation and box office, it was still overshadowed by "Pacific Rim", which made him very unhappy.

After all, "Shaolin Soccer" failed to be released in mainland China, so the box office revenue was significantly reduced.

It was so depressing that the film encountered a very strong opponent when it was released in Hong Kong.

So no matter who wants to spoof "Pacific Rim", he has to help!
Not long after, the chubby Wang Jing appeared in Lin Xiaoming's office and took out a script from his bag.

"Boss Lin, haven't you seen Pacific Rim? Can I tell you the plot first?"

Lin Xiaoming, who was smoking, looked gloomy and suddenly said, "I've seen it!"

"what?"

Wang Jing was stunned. He really didn't expect that Boss Lin would go to see his rival's movie.

Lin Xiaoming did not hide it, "I thought that Jiang Heng was so young and just got lucky, maybe this movie will fail, even worse than "The Legend of Zu Mountain". I didn't expect it to be made in Hollywood!

If I had known it would be this bad, I would have delayed the release of Shaolin Soccer by a week!"

Wang Jing said with a smile: "Although both films use visual effects as a selling point, they are still two different genres. Ah Xing has so many fans, so the box office performance is not bad!"

Lin Xiaoming smiled bitterly and shook his head, then took the script from Wang Jing.

After reading it through, I feel like I have made some progress.

"As for the actors, what do you think?"

Wang Jing chuckled, "We definitely can't invite Wu Yizu, because that would be really offensive. But Xie Tingfeng, who appeared in Pacific Rim for less than five minutes, could definitely be invited to play the male lead in Atlantic Rim. As for actresses, there are too many to choose from!"

Lin Xiaoming nodded slightly, thinking that this was a good idea. He glanced at the script and said decisively, "I'm investing in this movie!"
