Since starring in the American version of "Alien Path", Guli Nazha's title in the press releases has long been that of an international superstar.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with saying this.
After all, the film's cast and box office performance are there, and Guli Nazha, as the female lead, will indeed be well-known to many foreign audiences.
However, many things have their pros and cons. Guli Nazha also has a lot of troubles, that is, the current resources seem to be somewhat "mismatched" with her status.
It is difficult to get the role of the heroine in a Hollywood blockbuster, but many people approach her for small and medium-budget films, but she looks down on them.
Jiang Heng has a lot of resources, but it seems that there is no suitable one for the time being, which makes him feel very depressed.
"Why, you don't like it?" Jiang Heng stood up and said with a smile.
Gulinaza said quickly: "How could that be? I think this role is pretty good, but I'm just afraid that I won't be able to play it well!"
Jiang Heng nodded. "Although this role doesn't have many scenes, it is very important. If I don't play it well, it will definitely not work!"
Upon hearing this, Guli Nazha couldn't help but give Jiang Heng a blank look. What are you saying? Are you questioning my acting skills?
But seeing Jiang Heng's serious expression, he did not dare to refute and nodded, "Indeed, it is a bit difficult for me to play the role of a loving mother. She is also a child!"
Jiang Heng laughed when he heard this, and couldn't help pinching Nazha's chin, "As for the child, I think he is not small!"
"Hate!"
Nazha pouted, then pulled Jiang Heng to sit next to her, snuggled up to her, and told him about her recent troubles.
Jiang Heng smiled, "Why, you want to be the heroine of a co-production?"
Nazha nodded hurriedly, looking a little annoyed, "It's mainly because the press release a while ago praised me too much, always saying I'm an international superstar, but the film contracts I've taken recently are still mainland romances and comedies, and some people have mocked me in the comments on Weibo!"
"Really? Is the situation so serious?"
Jiang Heng had an expression of great concern, while Nazha looked more and more aggrieved.
Of course, both of them were acting, and there were indeed a few netizens who left mocking messages on her Weibo account, but they were all deleted by her assistant.
Otherwise, if it was mentioned by chance, she wouldn't know about it.
But when he told Jiang Heng this, it was natural that he wanted resources.
The crying child gets the milk, what if it works?
However, Jiang Heng had a beautiful girl in his arms and was indeed a little distracted. In addition, Nazha had an expression that looked like she was "waiting to be rescued", so Jiang Heng started to think about "China-US co-production" and "international blockbusters".
But then again, although most Sino-US co-productions are loss-making, they are not without profits.
For example, "The Meg", which claimed a total investment of million US dollars and a global box office of million, obviously made a lot of money, otherwise there would be no sequel online.
Of course, the film’s reputation is indeed average, and its Douban score is only , but it is understandable.
Because the ratings of most monster movies are indeed slightly lower than those of ordinary movies.
As the saying goes, nine out of ten shark movies are bad, because this type of film is designed to stimulate the audience's senses.
The bikini beauties on the beach and the blood and flesh being torn apart by sharks, the audience didn't even think about the artistic attainments, they just wanted to watch the thrills and stress relief.
It seems reasonable to make a movie like this for Nazha.
Jiang Heng then talked about the story outline of "The Meg". Nazha was very excited when she heard it. Her mind was now full of international blockbusters.
Immediately he said excitedly: "This is good, this is good, I want to take a picture of this!"
Jiang Heng said: "I remember that this story has an original novel. I will contact Columbia Company and ask them to help buy the film and television adaptation rights!"
"So, are we going to cooperate with Columbia?"
The previous American version of "Alien Path" was produced by Columbia Pictures, so Nazha naturally wanted to work with someone she was more familiar with.
Jiang Heng said, "Probably, if they are interested!" After looking at the time, Jiang Heng thought Sanford Panitch should be asleep by now, so he wrote an email, arranged a time for a call, and expressed his intention to co-produce a movie with Columbia Pictures.
I expected that Sanford Panitch would call me as soon as he saw the email.
Nazha was so happy when she saw Jiang Heng finish writing the email and send it out that she couldn't help but hug Jiang Heng and kiss him hard.
"My dear, you are so good to me!"
Jiang Heng smiled and leaned back in his chair. "Is this considered a reward?"
Nazha giggled and whispered something in Jiang Heng's ear, which made Jiang Heng want to go home immediately.
"You little devil, go back and wait, I'll leave when I'm done!"
"No, I want to accompany you!"
Jiang Heng looked at the time and said no, as he had to meet with the CEOs of other subsidiaries later. Nazha left obediently after hearing that.
iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Video are developing rapidly, and the other companies are not bad either, such as the gaming company that operates "League of Legends", the technology company that develops TikTok, the real estate company that develops real estate, etc.
Jiang Heng didn't put much energy into these subsidiaries, but he always had a chat with them every once in a while.
After finishing all these, it was already past three in the afternoon.
Jiang Heng was about to go home when he saw Zhao Liying standing timidly at the door.
"What's wrong, Liying? Do you have something to talk to me about?"
"Well, Director Jiang, I'm only going to keep you for a little while!"
"Okay, come in and talk!"
Jiang Heng said with a smile and let Zhao Liying into the office.
Cui Zhenzhen, who was sitting in the outer room, made a cheering gesture to Zhao Liying. It was obviously with her help that Zhao Liying was able to meet Jiang Heng on time.
"You came here to talk about Mrs. Yin's role, right?"
Since Jiang Heng already had the intention of talking to her, he didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.
Zhao Liying nodded quickly and said, "Yes, Director Jiang, I heard that you are going to make a movie about Nezha, and there is an actress for the role of Madam Yin that has not been decided yet, so I want to give it a try!"
Jiang Heng smiled. Although he had already decided to let Zhao Liying play the role, he still asked, "So what do you think of this role?"
"I think that if we highlight the deep love that Lady Yin has for her son, the audience will love it very much. When I was a child, I watched the Hong Kong version of The Investiture of the Gods, and the deep love that Lady Yin Shiniang has for her son made me cry many times!"
Jiang Heng nodded slightly upon hearing this. "The character of Yin Shiniang is indeed well-created. Of course, the characters in this play are slightly different, but the emotions are the same. You have to understand it well!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Liying hurriedly stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, Director Jiang. Thank you, Director Jiang. I will definitely study hard and play this role well!"
"I believe you can act well!"
Zhao Liying then said, "Hey, Director Jiang, to express my gratitude, can I treat you to a meal?"
Jiang Heng smiled and said, "Of course, when?"
"Is it convenient today?"
Jiang Heng looked at his watch. It was only half past three.
After thinking for a while, he said, "Well, let's talk now while we eat. I'll talk to you about the script!"
Now Zhao Liying was confused. Is it so urgent? (End of this chapter)
