Chapter 167

The preliminary intention was set, and Jiang Heng again asked about Jing Tian's basic situation.

The little girl was quite down-to-earth, and she talked a lot about her childhood.

The reason for learning dance was that her physique was poor when she was young.

When she was ten, the then U. S. President Clinton visited China, and Jing Tian, as a member of the Little Swan Art Troupe, went to greet him.

She was also selected because of her outstanding performance in the art troupe to present flowers to Clinton.

At age twelve, she entered the Jingcheng Dance Academy Affiliated Middle School. To maintain her weight, she painfully gave up her favorite "four happiness meatballs"...

Probably because Jiang Heng had a mature demeanor and a gentle smile, the little girl had no guard and chatted on and on.

Jiang Heng listened with a smile, occasionally asking a couple of questions.

Actually, aside from acting, Jing Tian is quite good in all aspects.

She is beautiful and kind-hearted, emotionally stable, straightforward and generous, unlike some actors who put on airs after a little fame.

"Can it be changed to the day after tomorrow?"

Jiang Heng thought for a moment and said, "Sure, tell him, just tomorrow then!"

The plot and special effects are beyond reproach; in terms of casting, he also wants to strive for perfection.

After all, his being cast as Yang Guo was the final decision Jiang Heng made.

Jiang Heng pondered that there are many beauties in Great Feng Night Watchman, so he surely wanted to reserve a role for Tang Yan, and thus decided to invite her as well.

He would never use someone like Wen Zhang, who goes completely overboard when at the height of popularity.

"Why?"

"I want to take a leave and come back for a visit; I haven't seen you in a long time!"

Previously, Jiang Heng spent most of his time abroad, so matters were delayed, and only now does he have the opportunity.

The call came because after Huang Xiaoming joined the production, he asked Liu Tianxian for help, insisting she find an opportunity to treat Jiang Heng to a meal as thanks.

The main roles are all played by stars or up-and-coming stars, while supporting roles naturally go to veteran actors.

She always gives the impression of lacking career ambition, so let her go study first, and she will honestly return to school.

Zhao Liying should still be working in her hometown now; holding a special audition just for her seems not worth it.

During that period, she received a call from Liu Tianxian; she has finished filming The Return of the Condor Heroes and is now playing Zhao Ling'er in the Chinese Paladin production.

Jiang Heng also thought it had been a while since he last saw Tang Yan; after finishing Saving Mother by Splitting the Mountain, she returned to the Central Academy of Drama to continue her studies.

If he specially sent a scout over, it would be hard to explain, and he felt increasingly torn about whether to bring Zhao Liying along.

"Um, okay!"

After the meal, Jiang Heng returned to his own spacious flat.

The company has launched so many big productions without using her, yet she harbors not the slightest resentment.

During this time, as he poured emotion into revising the script, Jiang Heng increasingly wanted to make Great Feng Night Watchman well.

Liu Yifei and Yang Mi will definitely also take part.

Believe it or not, within five years this series will become a "god drama" among god dramas.

Although he said he wasn't suited to direct personally, he could use his producer role to decide everything about the entire drama.

The next day, Jiang Heng summoned a business manager named Yu Yang from Outstanding Rising Film Company and said, "I once went to Langfang and saw a girl on the street; she was about 165 cm tall, with a slightly baby‑fat face and big eyes, looking very cute. At the time I was in a hurry, didn't have anyone ask her, and don't know if she's local."

Anyway, take a few people there, give yourself a month; if you find her, it's a great achievement. If you don't, consider it as giving you all a vacation!

After Jiang Heng returned home the previous day, he carefully thought of a reasonable excuse to send someone.

Fortunately, Jingcheng and Langfang are very close; Jiang Heng has been there several times, so saying he ran into her on the street is not a problem.

Sending people over would be best if they could find her; if they can't, it just means there was no fate.

Yu Yang, upon hearing this, was thrilled to be entrusted with a task directly from the big boss.

He immediately declared, "Director Jiang, rest assured, I will stay in Langfang this time; if I can't find the person, I absolutely will not come back!"

Jiang Heng patted his shoulder and smiled, "Do a good job; the company keeps growing, there are plenty of opportunities!"

Yu Yang felt as if a huge pie had fallen from the sky, his whole body energized, "Director Jiang, rest assured, I guarantee to complete the task!"

"Go!"

"Hey!"

Yu Yang left Jiang Heng's office, returned, first held a meeting with his department, picked a few sharp individuals, and immediately drove to Langfang.

Along the way he kept making calls, pulling strings, and obtained the phone number of a friend in a government department.

He said that when Jiang Heng visited Langfang last summer, he saw a very cute girl on the street, and now there is a role that would suit her perfectly...

Once the news spread, it quickly circulated everywhere.

In the end it turned into the claim that Jiang Heng had encountered a very beautiful and cute girl in Langfang and wanted to find her to be the female lead of his new film.

When Zhao Liying, who works in sales at an anti‑corrosion pipe company, heard the news, it was already spreading like wildfire throughout the city.

Many girls who consider themselves super cute beauties and who have been to Langfang before thought they might be the one Jiang Heng glimpsed in the crowd.

They flocked to Langfang to look for the scout from Outstanding Rising Film Company.

Zhao Liying's female coworker also urged, "Yingbao, why aren't you going? You're so cute and good‑looking; maybe the girl Director Jiang saw on the street is you!"

Zhao Liying laughed sweetly, looking especially cute, "No way, they said they wanted a girl who is especially beautiful, long‑legged, etc.; it definitely isn't me, and if I went I'd just get screened out."

"Hey, why are you so lacking in confidence? In Saving Mother by Splitting the Mountain, Tang Yan, who played the Holy Mother, was formerly a vocational school graduate, yet Jiang Heng still picked her and made her a star—what do you lack compared to her?"

Zhao Liying felt a bit moved, and her coworker again urged, "Sales work is exhausting and unpleasant; when will there be an end to it!"

If you become a star, I'll go be your assistant.

While the two were chatting, the supervisor came over, as usual holding a morning meeting, then assigning a pile of nearly impossible tasks and criticizing employees whose performance fell short.

Although Zhao Liying finished her tasks, she also felt there was no future.

She made up her mind, dragged her female coworker to the hotel where the Outstanding Rising Film Company scout was staying, and upon arriving at the entrance saw, wow, a long line of girls, all pure and cute in style.

Zhao Liying was so frightened she instantly lost confidence, "Um, I think the current job is actually pretty good, after all they still pay salary, right? It's just that the supervisor talks a bit too densely!"

After saying that, she wanted to step back.

A female coworker grabbed her, "Since we're already here, why chicken out? Come on, let's go submit the materials first!"

The two joined the queue, but when they got to the front, they found the other side didn't need any materials at all.

It was just that some were taking photos, some were recording video.

By then Yu Yang was already dazzled, thinking everyone looked like what Jiang Heng had described, so he could only have everyone photographed uniformly, then send the photos and videos back to the company for Jiang Heng to identify.
