Chapter 456: Diamond Ring and Cultural Export

Around nine at night, Jiang Heng and Jing Tian were eating barbecue at a restaurant, casually drinking and chatting.

Are the Maldives really that beautiful?

Not bad; I'll take you next time!

No way!

Da Tian Tian handed Jiang Heng a skewer of large kidneys with a tsundere look, took a small kidney skewer for herself, and said, "I want to go to Bali, Thailand, uh, and Europe!"

Sure, I'll take you after the New Year!

Really?

The young lady's eyes sparkled, her smile blooming like a flower.

Of course! When have I ever lied to you?

That's right, hehe!

The young lady happily raised her glass to clink with Jiang Heng, then casually said, "Tang Tang has been really hot lately!"

Is that so?

Jiang Heng has been abroad lately, so he doesn't know much about domestic news.

Naturally, everyone knows Tang Yan blew up because of his role as Kang Jinlong, though the exact details are unclear.

Da Tian Tian then said that after Tang Yan's rise to fame, his resources and exposure increased.

Jiang Heng smiled and asked, "How come, you're missing the old feeling?"

No way! I think it's great now!

She pinched her little belly and said, "It's just that I eat, sleep, eat, sleep, and I've gained flesh!"

Jiang Heng laughed and said, "I think it's pretty good!"

What's good about that? You won't look good on camera!

Jiang Heng thought, Even if you gain ten more pounds, I can fix it with special effects.

He casually said, "Losing some weight would also work!"

"Ah, I knew it, you despise me, you really despise me, waah!" Da Tian Tian made a face like she was about to cry.

Jiang Heng held his cup, his expression dazed, and thought, "This isn't some entrapment, is it?"

With a helpless expression, he said, "Don't be ridiculous, stop reading so many romance novels, got it?"

Oh!

Da Tian Tian readily agreed, then happily ate her food.

Jiang Heng secretly sighed, "Women really are born actors."

That's because his status and position are not ordinary; trying to appease an average person wouldn't be so easy! Coaxing a girl isn't just words for Jiang Heng; besides giving resources, he occasionally buys things.

This time upon returning, he brought a 5.6-carat diamond ring. He didn't choose a larger one to leave room for the future.

According to his original plan, he wanted to find a better restaurant to present it before the meal.

But since Da Tian Tian said she wanted to eat barbecue and drink, he ended up here.

After some eating and drinking, Jiang Heng thought it over and decided to give it out, so he pulled out the ring box.

Da Tian Tian was absently chewing on a skewer, staring blankly.

What is it?

Give me your hand!

Da Tian Tian instinctively reached out her hand, watching Jiang Heng put on a beautiful, sparkling large diamond ring.

Honey!

I think it suits you perfectly; you also need such a diamond ring!

Thank you so much, I can hardly believe it; it's too gorgeous!

Da Tian Tian carefully examined the ring on her hand, then glanced at the private room's surroundings and cried, "Ah, why give it here?!"

Jiang Heng was speechless, "Wasn't this place your choice? You said the food is good and the environment is fine!"

Da Tian Tian cried even harder, "I imagined a different scene, not this one!" Jiang Heng looked embarrassed; actually he also knows girls love romance and he can provide a romantic setting.

He's just usually busy with many things and has no mood for those.

Buying this diamond ring was also after traveling abroad for over a month, worried that Da Tian Tian would overthink, so he gave a valuable gift to put her mind at ease.

But looking at her expression, it seems he ruined her fantasy!

Um, how about next time I pick a romantic place to give it?

Definitely!

OK, then I'll pick a bigger diamond for you next time!

Really?

Da Tian Tian said seriously, mainly because she just realized Jiang Heng said he'd give it next time!

Absolutely!

Hehe, my husband is great!

Da Tian Tian looked at the ring on her hand again, growing happier the more she looked.

She also glanced at Jiang Heng across from her, wondering what else she might be scheming.

This also needs to be given again!

Okay!

Seeing Jiang Heng readily agree, Da Tian Tian beamed with joy, and the pent-up frustration she'd accumulated over this period dissipated.

The next day, the two went to the company together.

Jiang Heng had a morning interview on a CCTV program, with the topic of cultural export as seen from "Black Myth: Wukong".

Because the film's overseas box office and reputation were both very good, more international players began to pay attention to and understand Chinese culture, arousing their interest and desire to explore Chinese culture.

However, when Jiang Heng was being interviewed, he said that, in fact, compared to films, games are also a fairly good medium for cultural output.

The Iron Fist Technology company under the group has already begun research and development on the 3A game Black Myth: Wukong, and is expected to launch within three years.

By then, the Pan Si Ridge and Flaming Mountain plot points that fans had regretted and sighed over could be experienced in the game.

The CCTV reporters were all stunned upon hearing this and asked what a 3A game is.

Jiang Heng then explained the definition of a 3A game, discussed the development status and influence of classic foreign 3A games, and stated that Iron Fist Technology would develop more 3A games with Chinese culture at their core, jointly contributing to cultural dissemination with Love Outstanding Rising Film Company.

After the interview ended, the CCTV reporter left with a shocked expression.

Because her focus had always been the film and television industry, she saw Jiang Heng's label as also being a big shot in the film and television industry and an international renowned director.

She only just learned that Jiang Heng also owns a game company with annual revenue exceeding ten billion yuan, and at this moment she was truly unable to stay calm.

Thinking about her own 985-master's-degree husband who works in a leisure unit and does not seek advancement, she suddenly felt that a 'domineering CEO' would also be nice, a pity she is already an older married woman! In the office, Jing Tian's smile was a bit strange.

Jiang Heng wondered, 'What are you pondering?'

"I dare say, that reporter just now definitely has a crush on you!"

"What?"

Jiang Heng was somewhat speechless; he originally wanted to say, 'She's interested in me, or rather in my money, right?' but instead said, 'It's completely normal—my husband is young, wealthy, and handsome, so it's normal for some women to eye him, and I've long been used to it!'

Da Tian Tian rolled her eyes at his words, 'Look at how you're making yourself out to be!' and left on her own.

In the evening, there was a celebration banquet for Black Myth: Wukong, and Jiang Heng attended with Jing Tian.

Besides the main creators, there were also many guests present.

Wang Jing was one of them; during this period he had been carefully polishing the script.

For Wang Jing, who is famous for shooting films quickly, this was truly the first time.

Upon seeing Jiang Heng, Wang Jing first offered congratulations on the big box office success of Black Myth: Wukong.

He then brought up the sequel to Heaven Sword, saying that this film stars Jiang Heng and boasts an all-star cast, so its box office should also be good.

Jiang Heng said, 'Over a billion is no problem!'

Even a farce like Macau Storm can gross over nine hundred million, so Jiang Heng's starring Heaven Sword will surely gross at least one billion! (End of chapter)
