Chapter 359

Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping.

He and Zhang Weiping's talks fell apart; the latter urged him to hurry up and shoot a new film, while Zhang Yimou said, "You previously promised to give me a share—this money has to be paid to me!" Zhang Weiping was still placating him, but Zhang Yimou replied, "I need the money now!"

Zhang Weiping said he needed to wait a bit longer, so Lao Mouzi stopped saying anything and just left.

Zhang Weiping initially still wanted to play it cool, but by the time he wanted to find him, he could no longer reach Zhang Yimou.

Zhang Yimou, Outstanding Rising Film Company, Jiang Heng.

However, the Faction: Outstanding Rising Film Company is formidable; Jiang Heng's wealth, status, and connections are not something he can provoke, so he can only temporarily swallow his anger.

Jiang Heng's side summoned a few senior executives from the company and, finding time, held a "welcome banquet" for Zhang Yimou.

Lao Mouzi, domestic.

The Faction: Outstanding Rising Film Company having his membership is still very beneficial to its development.

As for young directors like Ning Hao and others, they mostly prefer to set up studios and maintain a cooperative model with the Faction: Outstanding Rising Film Company.

Thus, although Jiang Heng does not produce many films each year, the number of films produced and released by the company is actually quite large.

The Faction: Outstanding Rising Film Company's position as the domestic industry leader has become even more solid.

Jiang Heng, Director Zhang.

Also Du Huan appears.

Jiang Heng raised his glass and said, "You big shots are full of imposing presence."

Upon hearing that, Zhang Yimou hurriedly clinked glasses with Jiang Heng; although he is much older, his attitude is very humble.

"Thank you, Director Jiang for 'taking me in,' and still trusting me so much! I won't say more—I'll just focus on making films, bringing profit to the company, and earning glory!"

Du Huan said beside him: "Old Zhang, I'm telling you, Director Jiang will definitely not let you suffer losses; just relax and work hard."

Zhang Yimou nodded in agreement, and Du Huan then asked: "I heard you have some financial disputes with Zhang Weiping."

Zhang Yimou, Zhang Weiping, new boss, old boss.

"Ah, it's just a bit of a misunderstanding; I'll talk to him later and we can settle it!"

Du Huan? Actually line: "You..." likely from Du Huan? Not needed.

Du Huan had only said half of what he wanted when he saw Jiang Heng shake his head slightly, so he stopped speaking.

the two Zhangs.

However, in Jiang Heng's view, since Zhang Yimou feels he can get the money, let him go get it; if he truly runs into an unsolvable problem, Jiang Heng will step in himself.

"As the saying goes, adding icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow!" After a while, the filming at Longhu Shan wrapped up, and the crew had to return to Jingcheng to shoot outdoor scenes and special effects shots.

Jiang Heng had the crew go first, while he went to the 《War Wolf》 crew in Jinling to cameo as Leng Feng's instructor.

Upon hearing that Jiang Heng was coming, the crew members were all excited.

Especially Zhu Xiaolong, a former special forces soldier, he kept pestering Wu Jing, asking, "Director Jiang, is he really that formidable?"

Of course!

But he's so busy, and he's a big director—does he have time to train?

Wu Jing was also puzzled, unable to figure this out, and he said, "Maybe it's just talent—if he practiced martial arts, he could even become a first-class athlete!"

Then you say, I want to spar with Director Jiang—would he agree?

Wu Jing hurriedly said, "Don't mess around, Director Jiang's schedule is tight—when would he have time for you?"

Zhu Xiaolong gave an embarrassed laugh, "Just curious—do you still remember, Director Jiang said on Weibo that he's a master, causing a sensation online! You say when he comes, I'll spar with him a bit, then the crew will issue a statement claiming Director Jiang is unbeatable among the whole crew, a true master, master, super-master!"

Wu Jing's eyes lit up, and he immediately said, "Holy shit, wrong—given your smarts, I didn't expect such a good idea!"

Zhu Xiaolong gave Wu Jing a look and said, "Just tell me if this idea is good or not!" Wu Jing hesitated a bit, because the traffic Jiang Heng's cameo brought to 《War Wolf》 was simply too huge.

If we follow Zhu Xiaolong's idea, it would definitely be big news, at least enough to hit Weibo's hot search! Although he felt it improper, he couldn't bear to refuse, and finally said, "Don't spout nonsense when the time comes—I'll first test his attitude!"

"You know, you think I only practice martial arts and don't use my brain?"

Wu Jing laughed, "Looking at your usual behavior, whether you've grown a brain or not is really hard to say!"

Holy shit!

When Wu Jing went to the troops to experience life, he became friends with Zhu Xiaolong, so when the two talked, there were so many taboos.

At noon, Wu Jing drove to the airport to pick up Jiang Heng and his entourage.

On the way to the crew, he tentatively brought up Zhu Xiaolong's suggestion.

Jiang Heng smiled, didn't immediately refuse, and only said, "Sounds not bad!"

Actually, in his spare time, he also works out and practices boxing, familiar with various routines, just lacking practical combat experience.

After all, given his wealth and status, stepping into the ring is impossible.

As for sparring partners at the gym, winning against them wouldn't reflect his true level.

Jiang Heng does have bodyguards, but they're no longer his match now; however, since they've been with him for years, he's never encountered any danger, so he hasn't thought of replacing them.

Recently, he's really been wanting to find a stronger opponent to spar with.

Not long after, they arrived at the crew, and everyone came out to greet them.

After exchanging pleasantries, Zhu Xiaolong looked at Wu Jing, who hesitated slightly, then nodded.

Zhu Xiaolong said, "Nowadays everyone says Director Jiang is the best fighter in Neidi's entertainment circle, with genuine kung fu—can't you show us a move to open our eyes?"

Jiang Heng smiled and waved his hand, "Genuine kung fu is out of the question—I've just practiced some routines, I can't compare to you special forces soldiers, whose training is all killing techniques!"

Zhu Xiaolong gave a simple smile, "Those moves, we dare not use them recklessly!"

Jiang Heng then said, "I remember Brother Cheng Long in 《Super Police》 had an interesting scene sparring with the chief instructor of the Armed Police; I've always wanted to recreate that classic—why not, let's do a light exchange, just spar a bit?"

Zhu Xiaolong was delighted, "Great!"

Wu Jing then suddenly looked troubled, because the crew's filming was really busy, day after day exhausting enough to make one sigh, and many things were not thought through thoroughly.

Only at this moment did he realize, if Jiang Heng got injured during the spar, wouldn't that delay the filming?

So he said, "Um, should we wait until after filming to spar?"

Jiang Heng laughed, "No problem, right?"

Zhuang Xiaolong saw Jiang Heng asking himself and hurriedly said, "It's fine, definitely fine!"

In his opinion, he just needed to hold back a bit and not use his lethal moves.

He never expected that when they actually sparred, he wouldn't be a match for Jiang Heng.

Jiang Heng seemed to anticipate his moves, always getting a step ahead; plus he couldn't use his lethal moves, so he fought hesitantly and quickly fell into a disadvantage.

The rest of the crew watched, stunned; they'd heard Jiang Heng was formidable, but everyone thought it was just rumor, merely that his routines were well practiced.

He hadn't expected that fighting like this would still look pretty impressive! But he said Zhuang Xiaolong was dazed from the blows; when he wanted to go all-out on the counter, Jiang Heng had already stepped back a few steps, clasped his fists, and laughed, saying, "Let's stop here—how about a draw?"

Zhuang Xiaolong knew he had lost; after all, he couldn't really use lethal moves, and besides, how could you be sure Jiang Heng doesn't know those?

He gave an embarrassed smile and said, "Still, Director Jiang has the edge; with such great skill, it's a real shame you don't make action movies!"
