Chapter 220

Jiang Heng didn't realize he had unintentionally uttered the fans' affectionate nickname for Zhao Liying, and he continued speaking words of concern and encouragement.

Actually, among the 85-flower actresses, he quite admires Zhao Liying.

A girl from a rural family, who had never studied acting, managed to carve out a path in the entertainment industry, becoming one of the most popular actresses among the 85-flowers; she can be considered an inspirational exemplar.

Of course, this kind of success is not replicable.

After all, since the turn of the millennium, the only stars who rose from grassroots origins to success are Wang Baochuan and Zhao Liying.

So for these two, he will appropriately give them some help, but he does not intend to interfere too much; he still hopes they can undergo some tempering.

Especially Wang Baochuan, who not only has notable achievements in commercial films, but also delivers extraordinarily stunning performances in artistic films.

The film 'Hello! Tree Mr.' let countless people see their own reflections; Jiang Heng also liked this movie in his previous life.

After all, to him, among the young actors of Xianggang's film circle who never made it big, they spend their whole lives living in others' shadows.

After hanging up, Jiang Heng lay on the sofa, closing his eyes to rest; in his mind appeared the scene of Zhao Liying, playing Caiwei, eating sugarcane in the rear hall of the government office.

It must be said, this drama is truly well done; even someone like him who has read the original novel and adapted the script looks forward to the later plot.

Although he has already watched it once.

But a good drama is a good drama, just as 'Bright Sword' has been rerun many times, there are always people willing to watch.

When changing channels, upon encountering the Shaolin Mountain battle plot of 'Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils', viewers still tend to stay.

The first two episodes of 'Great Feng Night Watchman' present a complete, swift gratification point, showcasing the drama's uniqueness, leaving countless viewers full of anticipation.

The subsequent plot leaves binge-watching viewers utterly enamored.

One beautiful girl after another appears on screen, leaving male viewers dazzled, wishing they could fall in love with several in a single day.

Huang Xiaoming's Xu Qian'an, Chen Kun's Xu Xinnian, and Han Dong's Chu Yuanzen are all very handsome, attracting an unknown number of female viewers.

Huang Xiaoming's popularity surged due to his role as Xu Qian'an, making him the most popular young male star in the 2005 Chinese-language entertainment circle; Chen Kun's popularity was slightly lower, but not by much.

The rising star Han Dong, who never studied acting, majored in civil engineering at Central South University, and after graduation worked at a state-owned enterprise.

He happened to see the recruitment notice for actors of 'Great Feng Night Watchman' and went to audition.

He initially applied to be a background actor, and it so happened that Jiang Heng was present that day.

Jiang Heng first thought of Wang Chongyang, because Han Dong had always been lukewarm, and Jiang Heng hadn't really watched any of his dramas.

On the contrary, the cameo 'Wang Chongyang' could be called the most handsome in history, refreshing and eye-opening.

Many netizens, after seeing Han Dong's version of Wang Chongyang, suddenly understood Lin Chaoying's long-held feelings.

Thus, in 'Great Feng Night Watchman', Han Dong's portrayal of Chu Yuanzen is very handsome in appearance; the drama sparked a small buzz upon broadcast and quickly became widely known.

Besides the handsome male and beautiful female actors, exquisite costumes and props, the flashy special-effects fight scenes are also one of the key reasons for the drama's soaring ratings.

How to put it? At first, viewers thought the fight scenes of 'Chinese Paladin' were already very flashy.

But after watching 'Great Feng Night Watchman', they realized it was completely a case of a minor sorcerer meeting a great sorcerer.

Because this drama has a different cultivation system and techniques, the fight pacing is very fast, and combined with exquisitely produced special effects, countless viewers become utterly enamored.

Upon looking at other martial arts dramas again, they seem bland and tasteless.

Thus, the drama achieved a 13% rating right at its premiere, peaked at 17% during its run, averaged 15%, and can be said to be far ahead.

When the media reported, they all wrote articles saying that the 2005 national ratings champion must be 'Great Feng Night Watchman', which is truly extremely popular.

All major and minor characters in the drama benefited greatly; even Jing Tian, who played Princess Lin'an, has a multitude of fans online.

Jing Tian herself has actually begun to taste the flavor of becoming popular.

At the Faction: Outstanding Rising Film Company, the young lady Jing Tian has arrived again.

But seen wearing sunglasses, a light-colored knitted top, a blue short skirt, and a lemon-yellow sling bag, she looks fashionable and playful, full of youthful charm.

"Jiang Heng bro, what are you busy with?"

This girl entered the office without any courtesy, sat on the opposite sofa, and asked with a smiling tone.

"Take a look at some more reports!"

Jiang Heng needs to film; many management matters in the company cannot be handled personally, so he can only strengthen management by strictly examining various financial reports.

After all, in many large companies, various corrupt incidents keep emerging.

Fortunately, with the help of the Super Microcomputer, Jiang Heng regularly audits accounts, always able to detect some problems, then orders people to handle them seriously; over time, those who dare to play tricks become fewer and fewer.

Many people find Jiang Heng's proficiency in finance unbelievable.

Jing Tian also admires him greatly, with an exaggerated expression saying: 'Jiang Heng bro, you're too amazing, right? Being able to shoot so many good-looking film and TV works is already impressive, yet you even know how to read accounts?'

Jiang Heng, hearing this, laughed and cried at once: 'Nonsense, if I couldn't read accounts, I wouldn't even know if someone stole from me!'

"Um, I mean, you actually are proficient, truly impressive; I get a headache just looking at numbers!"

Jiang Heng laughed: 'Then when does your head not hurt?'

Da Tian Tian tilted her head slightly, smiling and said: 'Eat, play!'

Jiang Heng, hearing that, was speechless: 'People really can't be compared!'

"You're idling around bored again?"

Jing Tian smiled sweetly, her eyes crescent moons: 'Of course not, I came to tell you good news, Jiang Heng bro—I've become popular, and a drama crew actually invited me to play the female lead, haha, I'm so happy!'

While saying this, Jing Tian stood in front of Jiang Heng's desk, hands on her hips, with a very proud expression.

Jiang Heng, hearing this, laughed: 'Congratulations, that really is good news!'

"Of course, I was so happy I couldn't sleep half the night. I wanted to call you last night, but I didn't want to disturb your rest, so I came this morning, hahaha!"

"What drama is it, and what's the pay?"

"It seems to be some Tang dynasty princess drama; I'm not entirely clear, so I just turned it down!"

Jiang Heng wondered: 'How could you turn it down?'

"Because I'm waiting for you, Jiang Heng bro; I want to keep my schedule open to film a movie together with you!"

Jiang Heng laughed: 'Do you even have a schedule to speak of?'

In his impression, Jing Tian is just a little girl who occasionally skips class, not even an actress; she's still studying at the Jingcheng Dance Academy, hasn't even gotten into the Beijing Film Academy yet!

Jing Tian, hearing this, puffed her cheeks angrily and said: "Of course! I'm busy every day!"

Jiang Heng said with a smile: "Good, good! Once I find a suitable script, I'll definitely do a show with you!"

Da Tian Tian's eyes lit up, she stepped forward a few steps, hands on the desk, and exclaimed delightedly: "Really? How about we play a couple? I definitely don't want to be like Tangtang—I actually ended up playing siblings with you, haha!"

Jiang Heng laughed and cried, saying: "What's there to compare?"

"Because I admire my brother, it would also be great to be an on-screen couple once!"
