The premiere was completed, but the matter was not over yet. Jiang Xiao and the main creators later accepted interviews with foreign media, even if it was a bit routine.

In this way, when the work was finally over, it was already about eight o'clock in the evening, and the group naturally went directly to the restaurant to prepare for dinner.

It's time to celebrate, at least the premiere ended successfully.

"Jiang Xiao, I'm going to shoot the sequel to "New Dragon Gate Inn" and I'm also going to try 3D. Bona's project is called "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Are you interested in starring in it?"

"Director Xu is going to make a sequel to "New Dragon Inn"?"

During the dinner, when he heard Xu Ke, who was sitting on the left, suddenly whispered such words, Jiang Xiao was slightly startled and gave a normal reaction.

After all, when he heard the name "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", he immediately understood what it was about, but it was still necessary to cover it up.

"Yes, and I have made an agreement with Jet Li that he will also play a role similar to Zhou Huai'an in "New Dragon Gate Inn", and Zhou Xun will also play. Now there is still one more important actor to play, and one person has to play each.

The difference between the two characters is that one is positive and the other is negative."

"I think you're quite suitable. How about it? Let's work together again?"

"One person plays two roles? It sounds quite interesting. Is this movie just being prepared?"

After listening to Xu Ke's words, Jiang Xiao, who was definitely interested in the role of "Factory Flower", was a little interested, but not very strong. He still wanted to ask about the schedule first to see if he was available, and then consider it when he had time.

"The preparations are almost complete. I even went to learn about 3D shooting technology, so the shooting will start next month!"

Xu Ke told the truth.

"Filming will start next month?"

Well, Jiang Xiao didn't expect that the filming of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was about to start, and now he didn't have to think about it anymore, he just didn't have time.

"right."

"Director Xu, filming starts next month, so I might not be able to schedule it. I'm sorry."

Without further ado, Jiang Xiao pointed it out directly.

"If You Are the One" is still waiting for him to film. The Asian Games will also start in November. He has to participate. Coach Feng has called him many times and asked him to win glory for the country. He has won the World Championships and the Olympics, and there will be more.

An Asian Games is a Grand Slam.

And under the magical halo of winning glory for the country, Jiang Xiao, a "special member" of the track and field team, had to go even if he didn't want to.

Therefore, after the filming of "If You Are the One" is completed, he will have to spare time to recuperate and train, and then participate in the Yangcheng Asian Games. Although he personally does not need it, he still has to put on a show.

And it’s true that this year’s Asian Games will be held in Yangcheng, China. It’s also a good reason not to participate in the competition at home.

"Hey, are you sorry? I should have told you about this in advance. OK, I don't have a chance this time, so we can cooperate in the future."

Looking for Jiang Xiao to participate in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" Xu Ke is not a spur-of-the-moment idea today. He has considered it before, but for some other reasons... After all, the main investor is Bona, and Lemon is developing rapidly.

It's strange to make people jealous, there are some things that he needs to think more about.

The person in front of me is also quite smart. He does not live alone and has many partners, but obviously Bona is not among them.

"Okay, there will be opportunities to cooperate in the future."

Jiang Xiao didn't wonder why Xu Ke didn't invite him earlier. Now that the matter has come to an end, it doesn't matter what happened.

In short, this unexpected episode did not have much impact, and the banquet continued as usual.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, exchanging cups and cups.

The next day, not surprisingly, "Empire of Heaven" received good reviews at the Venice Film Festival, and was said to be the most entertaining film at the festival.

However, this basically shows that the possibility of winning the award has become very slim. Not to mention other actors, Jiang Xiao, Xu Ke, and Xiao Laowang, as investors in the film, naturally turned their focus to "The Empire of Heaven"

on copyright transactions.

In fact, during this year's Cannes Film Festival, "Empire" had already brought the film to seek deals, and many agreements were reached.

Of course, intentions are intentions, and if you don't get the money, it's of no use.

And this time at the Venice Film Festival, because the film officially premiered, the film producers must have really understood "The Empire of Heaven". If they really had an idea, the last intention would have turned into a deal.

In other words, there are other new film producers who have taken a fancy to the movie and want to buy the copyright or something.

No, it took almost two days, but the copyright of "Bongtian Empire" was sold to many countries, including the United Kingdom, Italy, France, the United States, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates, New Zealand, and Bahrain.

As for the price, Jiang Xiao could only say that it was better than boring. There was no price over 100,000 US dollars in any country, and he felt embarrassed to tell it.

That's right, if it really sold for a high price, I'm afraid it won't be silent and no news will come out in my memory.

In addition, there are some Asian countries where you don’t have to go to Venice to sell movies. You can negotiate at home, and they are basically countries with a relatively large number of Chinese people.

In short, on the afternoon of the 7th, Jiang Xiao flew back to China, and his companions were still Leader Huang, Li Binbin and others.

In the past two days, apart from being interviewed by domestic media, such as Phoenix TV, Movie Channel, and Zhalang, the other party and others were basically having fun.

Returning empty-handed, returning home is naturally quiet.

As the night passed, Jiang Xiao quietly joined the crew of "If You Are the One 2".

The filming of this movie had already started in Sanya, and then returned to the capital to continue filming.

He is a special performance, with not many scenes, including a divorce scene, a charity event, a farewell scene, and a few scattered scenes.

Jiang Xiao was paid a lot of money for the film, 10 million. Considering his current worth, it is not an exaggeration to say that this price is a friendship price.

Some people even paid him up to 40 million to film a movie, but the movie was so bad that he naturally couldn't make any money.

Beijing Zizhuyuan Park.

Jiang Xiao met the main creative staff of "If You Are the One 2" here. First of all, he naturally greeted Uncle Ge and said, "Teacher Ge, long time no see!"

"Teacher Jiang, I haven't seen you for a long time. He's getting more and more handsome as he grows older. I think you should consider the feelings of those of us who don't look very good, ha~!!!"

Ge You, who answered with a smile, also made a humorous comment.

"Hey, Teacher Ge, are you dissatisfied with me or something?"

Jiang Xiao's words could be regarded as a double entendre in reply to Uncle Ge. He was not only "dissatisfied" with the title of Teacher Jiang, but also responded that the older he gets, the more handsome he becomes.

Of course, he also knew that Ge You obviously did this on purpose. As for the atmosphere, the contrast between the other party in private and the movie was quite different. The reason why he could talk to him like this was obviously because he lacked some politeness.

After all, the two had collaborated on "The Night Banquet", and the other party admired his acting skills at first.

"What I call is a teacher who is capable and has real skills. Teacher Jiang, you have real skills."

Ge You said with a smile again.

"I really want to deny it, but because of my strength, I am not allowed to keep a low profile, so I will become the teacher!"

It's just a joke, Jiang Xiao doesn't mind playing along.

Finally, he spoke to Uncle Ge, and they both laughed.

After finishing, the latter suddenly said with a gesture: "I won't say anymore, you should know who this person next to you is, and you are all young people, so you know it yourself."

"Hello Mr. Jiang, nice to meet you."

"You're welcome, Miss Shu Qi, I'm glad to see you too."

As soon as Ge You finished speaking, Jiang Xiao saw Shu Qi, who had already seen him when he came over, taking the initiative to stand up and say hello to him.

In response, he naturally responded politely.

As for why this person appears here, Jiang Xiao is not surprised, because she is the female lead in "If You Are the One 2".

Due to some unexpected things at home, Da Meiyuan finally chose to resign before filming started. In the end, it seems that Jin Guofu recommended Shu Qi to take over.

So by accident, the latter got involved with "If You Are the One 2".

Sometimes, there is really no telling how things will change.

Just like no one expected that Gao Yuanyuan's mother would relapse into her old habits at this time, which indirectly led to a series of consequences.

"You're welcome. I have admired Mr. Jiang for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Shu Qi himself quickly greeted Jiang Xiao politely again.

At least she thinks this person is really awesome, let's just say Ge You. He basically doesn't talk to others in private, and most of the time he just closes his eyes and rests.

I don’t know if it has something to do with the other party’s assistant, who is also the other party’s wife. I watched the whole process, as if someone was afraid that someone would snatch the old man Ge You away.

In short, Shu Qi basically doesn't have much contact with the latter except when he has to act in a scene. Now he is sitting together because of the scene, and then Jiang Xiao suddenly appears.

"Really or not, don't I have a bad reputation in Wanwan?"

After hearing Shu Qi's "admiration" words, even though he knew that the other person was just being polite, Jiang Xiao still used it to make a joke.

"Yes, that's just what the media said on purpose. In fact, most people didn't take it seriously."

Shu Qi was stunned for a moment, not expecting Jiang Xiao to speak like this.

Fortunately, her reaction was not slow and she quickly came up with the words to respond.

Then I have to say that this person really understands the situation he is in. Indeed, it is basically all negative news.

He has also been gradually portrayed by the media as an arrogant, arrogant, ignorant, and full of gossip.

It seems that all the female artists in the industry who have collaborated with Jiang Xiao, even those of the right age and good looks, are rumored to have scandals.
