Chapter 95 Self-directed and self-acted
For formal media, if the other party spreads rumors or slanders you, you can ask a lawyer to communicate with them.

As for pirated magazines, even if you call the police, they may not catch anyone.

Generally, if it doesn't cause too much negative impact, it will be basically ignored, and the same is true for Jiang Heng.

After chatting for a while, Han Sanping suddenly said, "By the way, I heard that you are going to direct and act in your new film?"

Jiang Heng was stunned for a moment, then he realized that it must be what the media said again.

“I really haven’t thought about it!”

Han Sanping said: "But I think it's totally worth a try!"

Jiang Heng's appearance and figure are definitely good enough for a popular idol.

As for acting skills, with twenty years of polishing in the previous life and the help of the "super microscopic computer" in this life, it is also the best choice.

I had no previous martial arts experience and found action scenes difficult.

But after joining the crew of "Hero", I realized that it is possible to become an action superstar!
Hearing Han Sanping say this, I was really moved.

It is said that the Erlang Shen played by Jiao Xinjun is the most classic, and Jiang Heng also agrees.

When filming "Lion Camel Ridge", Jiao Xunjun was invited to make a cameo appearance, and he appeared in the finished film for a few seconds.

But Jiang Heng did not plan to invite Jiao Xinjun to star in the film "Splitting the Mountain to Save Mother".

The reason is that he feels he is a bit too old. Born in 67, he is in his thirties, mature and steady, and not suitable to play the young Yang Jian.

Jiang Heng's original idea was to select a young male actor from the mainland or Hong Kong to play the leading role in the film.

But after listening to Han Sanping's suggestion and thinking about it carefully, it seems feasible!

"It seems that you are moved. In my opinion, don't hesitate. Just go for it. We really can't find anyone better. You can't let Wu Qizu come again, the audience will definitely be visually fatigued!" Han Sanping advised.

Jiang Heng thought about the stills of Wu Yizu playing Erlang Shen and shook his head subconsciously.

I also considered several young male actors from Hong Kong and the mainland, but there was really no one suitable.

"Well, shall I give it a try?"

Han Sanping smiled and said, "Why are you still hesitating? I tell you, once the news that you are directing and acting in the film comes out, this film will definitely be a hit before it even starts!"

Jiang Heng laughed: "Then I will be the leading actor for once!"

Han Sanping asked again: "As for the female lead, what do you think?"

"Look for someone who is very pretty and very elegant!"

"Which character?"

"The Jade Emperor's sister!"

Han Sanping smiled helplessly, "You really don't give the male lead any room to perform in the love scenes!"

Jiang Heng said: "The theme of this play is to save the mother, there is not so much love!"

Han Sanping thought to himself, the problem is, starting from "The Matrix", of your four special effects blockbusters, only the first one has some love elements!

Without love, there would be fewer audiences and box office!

However, Jiang Heng's principle of cooperation was not to interfere with his creation, so Han Sanping did not try to persuade him too much, and only said, "If it is the Jade Emperor's sister, I have a suitable candidate to recommend, He Qing, who has performed in all four famous classics, and her ancient costume can be called the most beautiful woman!"

The image of He Qing in ancient costume instantly appeared in Jiang Heng's mind.

I have to say that she really has a face of classical beauty, with a pair of eyebrows that seem to be frowning but not frowning, and a pair of eyes that are both affectionate and sad, which is quite suitable for the role of the Jade Emperor's sister in the film. At this moment, the only one who can compete with He Qing in the field of classical beauty is Chen Hong.

But Chen Hong is the wife of the famous director Chen Kaige, and it is said that Chen Kaige has always been dissatisfied with Jiang Heng's achievements, so Jiang Heng naturally would not consider Chen Hong.

"It should be a good match. We can get in touch first and talk about the specific role after the script is finalized!"

In the evening, Yu Dong called again and said that the premiere of "SPL" in Beijing had been prepared and asked Jiang Heng if he could come back to participate.

Jiang Heng invested in this film and made a guest appearance in it, so naturally he had to help promote it.

Originally scheduled to be released two weeks after Pacific Rim was released, this mecha blockbuster was so popular that it triggered a huge wave of movie-watching, and the box office fell slowly.

Yu Dong suggested that "SPL" be postponed for a week and the premiere be prepared only at this moment.

"Yes, we have just finished filming the scenes here. We will go to Dunhuang to shoot a few more scenes in a month or so, and then we will be completely finished!"

Yu Dong was curious: "It went smoothly?"

"Ok!"

"So, boss, you are really an expert?"

Jiang Heng was speechless, "Read less tabloids in the future!"

"Hey!"

Yu Dong hung up the phone with a smile, rolled his eyes and said with emotion, "This talent is too exaggerated!"

As for Jiang Heng, he left the "Hero" crew with his assistant team and prepared to return to Beijing to attend the premiere of "SPL".

After arriving in Beijing, I first went to Bonanza Pictures to look at the latest box office data for Pacific Rim.

The mainland is naturally making great strides, and Hong Kong and Taiwan are also performing very well.

What surprised Jiang Heng was the Japanese market. The box office performance of Pacific Rim was very good in the early days of its release, and it became even more fierce as time went on.

Compared with "Titanic" which was released in Japan in 98, it seems to be able to surpass it.

It should be noted that the box office performance of "Titanic" in Japan was 262 billion yen, which is about 12 billion yuan in RMB, which is considered a very high box office performance.

And he remembered that when "Pacific Rim" was released in Japan in its previous life, the response seemed to be mediocre!
The biggest difference between the two versions of the film is probably that due to the earthquake in Japan, the historical original version changed the scene where the monster wreaked havoc in Tokyo to landing in Manila.

But in this life, Jiang Heng not only added scenes of monsters attacking Tokyo to the film, he also increased the length and added many close-up shots. Is this what they like to watch?
Although it is a little hard to understand, but judging from the box office data provided by Toho Co., Ltd., this should be the case!
In South Korea, the performance of "Pacific Rim" has been rising, making Korean local films released in the same period become cannon fodder.

The result triggered a massive protest in the Korean entertainment industry, whose slogan was to restrict foreign films and protect domestic films.

The main content of the speech said: The Korean film market was once dominated by Hong Kong films, but later Hong Kong films declined and Hollywood blockbusters came in.

Nowadays, even Chinese-language special effects blockbusters have entered the market. If this continues, the Korean film market will truly become the back garden of Hollywood and Chinese-language films.

These slogans did attract some young people to join in, but more young Koreans planned to go to the cinema first to see what was so good about this movie that triggered the boycott of "Pacific Rim"!

Of course, I went there with a critical attitude.

As a result, too many young Koreans were devastated by the classic scenes of mechas fighting monsters that showed great texture and authenticity in the film.

Isn’t it said that the big country next door is very poor?
How can such a poor country produce such a good special effects movie!

This must be resisted. Otherwise, if it continues to develop and unite with Hollywood blockbusters, will there be any future for Korean local films?
