The National Day is gradually coming, and the publicity of the films released in this schedule is naturally gradually strengthened.

The post-production of "Wolf Warrior" has not yet been completed, but the publicity is not weaker than other films.

Zhang Pu did not have high expectations for the box office of this film.

The reason why he made this movie was completely to lay the foundation for the second part.

He also thought about shooting the second part directly, simplifying the first part to integrate it with the background of the protagonist.

However, after thinking about it, I finally gave up.

The first part may not be worth filming.

Now that the scene has been expanded, the film is even more popular, and the box office may not be bad.

What's more, the box office of the original version is also quite good.

Of course, if Zhang Pu's "Wolf Warrior" only has so much box office as the original version, although it will not lose money, it will not make much money, and I am afraid it will inevitably be sneered at, saying that this is a failed work.

This will definitely have an impact on the box office of the second part.

However, if the box office is ideal, then the promotion of the second part of the box office cannot be ignored.

The box office of the original version exceeded 500 million.

Zhang Pu's film will definitely be higher.

The investment in the film is larger, the scene is upgraded, and it is more popular.

Standing on the shoulders of giants, Zhang Pu is more confident than giants.

The film itself is definitely more popular.

And the director, starring and other main creators are obviously more box office appealing than the original.

The original starring role was tepid at the time, and the real hit was with the second part of "Wolf Warrior".

Zhang Pu is now one of the most box office appealing directors in China, and even a little exaggerated, even "one" can be removed.

And Zhang Chu is now also a popular star, and his box office appeal is also extremely good.

From this point of view, how can it be higher than the original box office.

What's more, as far as the market is concerned, I'm afraid it is much better than when the original version was released.

In addition, the intensity of publicity, the popularity of the film, and the number of films scheduled have all left the original version far behind.

In this case, if the box office is not higher, it is indeed a failure.

Although Zhang Pu did not have high expectations for this film, it was also much higher than the original.

It's not high, it's just relative.

If it was only the box office of the original version, although it would not lose money, he would probably feel that it was a failure.

The promotion of "Wolf Warrior" naturally revolves around Zhang Pu and Zhang Chu, and of course, other actors will also follow.

And the focus of this film's publicity is to focus on the dedication of the actors.

For example, Long Xiaoyun went to the army to exercise for a few months before the film started.

Who was injured during the filming, but insisted until Zhang Pu shouted "card", and who was how during the filming, it seems that the minor injuries could not get out of the line of fire.

In addition, the weather was hot during the shooting, many people suffered from heat stroke, group performances could not be recruited, and in the end, it was the help of the troops to solve the problem, etc., these are all publicity gimmicks.

Publicity, the press conference is naturally indispensable.

Zhang Pu is busy in the later stage, but he will also participate in some publicity conferences.

"Director Zhang, why did the heroine of "Wolf Warrior" choose Long Xiaoyun instead of the female artist of Oriental DreamWorks?"

A reporter asked many people about their doubts.

Long Xiaoyun is not very famous, and many of the films she starred in are literary films. Even for this reason, she was crowned with the title of "Queen of Literary Films".

This is an actress whose acting skills have been recognized by fans, but she is an actress who has little box office appeal.

Zhang Pu has always given priority to his own company's artists.

He admitted this in front of the media more than once.

There's nothing hard to admit that no film and television company is like this.

But this time, he invited Long Xiaoyun, and he didn't use the popular actresses under Tang Rui and others.

This inevitably makes many people wonder.

"The heroine of the film is a special forces captain, and the actress of the company is not suitable. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Long Xiaoyun is suitable for this role, so I naturally invited her." I've worked with her, and she's very good at acting and very dedicated. This time, in order to play this role, I also trained in the army for several months......"

Zhang Pu praised Long Xiaoyun fiercely.

And Long Xiaoyun can also afford such an evaluation.

The director likes such actors, but the investor prefers actors with high economic value.

This is the result of capital entering the film and television industry.

However, if there is no capital injection, the Chinese film and television industry will not have such development.

In terms of actor selection, Zhang Pu is so restrictive that there are not so many restrictions.

He himself has a very high box office appeal, not to mention using actors like Long Xiaoyun who don't have much traffic, or all newcomers, and his films have also attracted much attention.

He has that confidence now.

This is the reputation he has accumulated one by one film.

"Director Zhang, it is rumored that you will continue to make a sequel to "Wolf Warrior", and you are already preparing it, which seems to mean that you have absolute confidence in the box office of this film?" asked a reporter.

Zhang Pu's next film will make a sequel to "Wolf Warrior", which is not a secret in the circle.

Journalists who are a little more well-informed know it.

"The investment and production cost of "Wolf Warrior" is less than 200 million, and the box office can return to its original cost if it exceeds 500 million. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "The box office of this film broke 500 million, and I am still very confident." ”

Breaking 500 million?

Is this called self-confidence?

Many reporters in the audience couldn't help but pout, and even many actors on stage twitched the corners of their mouths.

Since Zhang Pu's debut, except for "Crazy Stone", a film with an investment of several million, which has not broken 500 million, other films have been broken. Even, since "The Nameless", Zhang Pu's films have not fallen below one billion.

500 million box office? It's too useless for you to think like this!

This is no longer humility.

It's too unpursuing.

"Director Zhang means that "Wolf Warrior" will shoot a sequel without losing money?" The reporter asked, "Hasn't Director Zhang always been interested in sequels? Why is this time different?"

Many of Zhang Pu's films have the value of filming sequels, such as "The Storm Dominates the World".

Especially in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, after Zhang Pu filmed the first part, he handed it over to Xu Ming.

This made many people see that he was really not interested in a sequel.

Even if the sequel is very profitable, it seems that he is too lazy to shoot it.

Why this time?

"When the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" is released, you will know. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

This answer is very perfunctory!

But the reporter couldn't help it. Zhang Pu was clearly reluctant to answer this question.

"That director, when will the sequel to "Wolf Warrior" be released?" a reporter then asked.

"Next summer!" Zhang Pu said.

"If the first film hits the street at the box office, will Director Zhang still shoot a sequel? After all, military action movies don't seem to be very popular in China. A reporter spoke.

"Didn't you just say that? I'm very confident that the film will return to its original cost. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Will it only pay back?

The box office of 500 million seems to be hitting the street for you!

I really don't understand.

Why don't you shoot those sequels that are extremely optimistic about the market, but instead make a sequel to "Wolf Warrior", and you have decided to shoot it even before "Wolf Warrior" is released.

This is very unassuming!

However, some people believe that the reason why Zhang Pu is like this is nothing more than that the male number one in this film is Zhang Chu.

He wants to use this series of films to pick up Zhang Chu.

Of course, there are many people who disagree with this statement.

After all, Zhang Chu is now a popular star, and he is very popular now.

Zhang Pu has already picked it up, so why bother?

Zhang Chu is not without masterpieces.

For example, films such as "Jingwu Heroes" and "Ip Man".

Those who agree with it believe that Zhang Chu takes the road of kung fu star, and the effect does not seem to be so ideal.

One is that the influence of kung fu films is not as good as before, and the other veteran kung fu star Yuzhu is in front.

That path has been walked by someone else.

If Zhang Chu does not find his own style, it will be difficult to surpass his predecessors.

This is clearly not what they want to see.

Zhang Pu filmed a military action movie, but he was actually looking for another action route for Zhang Chu.

"Director Zhang, did you choose to shoot this kind of film because of Zhang Chu?"

A reporter asked.

This claim is widely circulated online.

"I can only say that there are reasons for this. My brother was a soldier, and everyone knows that. That's why I became interested in this type of film. I think this kind of film should be promising, but there is a blank in China now, so I have the idea of making this film. Zhang Pu said with a smile, "Actually, when I was young, I also wanted to be a soldier, but I couldn't do it. Shooting this kind of film can be regarded as a dream of my youth. ”

His relationship with Zhang Chu is well known, and there is nothing to avoid.

Who made the two of them look too similar.

At the press conference, Zhang Pu was the absolute focus.

However, he always seems to like to leave a little leeway in answering questions, so there are no explosions.

Media reporters naturally want to dig up news from other actors.

The hero and heroine are naturally the focus.

Kevin Akins is the other one.

Akins has a certain popularity in China, but only that little.

He doesn't actually have to participate in the publicity, but he took the initiative to follow the crew to promote it.

It's not hard to guess.

He just wants to open up his popularity in China through this film.

Once he opens up his popularity, then he will definitely rise in Hollywood.

Hollywood is paying more and more attention to the Chinese film market.

Promoting a movie is not promoting yourself.

The publicity of "Wolf Warrior" is very strong, and Oriental DreamWorks has a strong publicity and distribution ability, with its theaters and Wanhui Group's theater support.

In addition, this film is also invested by Huaying and Military Art Center, and the two companies are also one of the distributors.

This is also one of the reasons why the film got 28% of the films.

The distributor also plays a large role in how well a film box office.

In mid-September, the post-production of "Wolf Warrior" was completely completed.

"The box office is stable!"

After the post-production was completed, after the senior management of Oriental DreamWorks watched the finished film, Jiang Xingwen said with a smile.

"Then I'll borrow your good words. Zhang Pu said with a smile.

Jiang Xingwen was actually not very optimistic about this film before.

It's just that Zhang Pu is making a film, and it won't help if he opposes it. Since it is useless to oppose it, it can only be fully supported. Of course, I am not optimistic about this film, but I don't think this film will lose money.

It's just that in his opinion, Zhang Pu's film, if it is not a big profit, it is a failure.

There's no need to shoot.

Now that he has watched the finished film, he has been enthusiastic for most of his age, so what about young people?

He is naturally more confident in this film.
