Chapter 572: The Shadow of the Tree
However, Wu Jing was not discouraged for long, he became popular because of "Tai Chi Grandmaster", but there was no result after that.
can only play a supporting role in the movie with the connections he has worked so hard to build, even if he doesn't get many TV series, and after "Tai Chi Grandmaster", Wu Jing has not had a TV series that has become a big hit.
has been tepid for many years, but Wu Jing has learned to be "indomitable", no matter how miserable the situation Wu Jing has encountered, what is the rejection of investment?
What's more, the success rate of pulling investment is not high, and President Ma was still rejected one after another, and it is normal for him Wu Jing to fail a few times.
So Wu Jing sorted out her mood and continued to invest.
He doesn't believe it, there are no investors in this world who appreciate "Wolf Warrior 2"!
He feels that this movie is also painstaking, full of effort, and every penny is spent on the blade, which is not much better than Hollywood action blockbusters.
His brother Kung Fu Emperor starred in "The Expendables"
series, the action scenes are not necessarily better than his "Wolf Warrior 2".
Moreover, "Wolf Warrior 2" is filmed about the evacuation of overseas Chinese in China, with a real story background and expressing patriotic feelings.
With the Chinese people's love for the motherland, it is impossible for such a movie not to be popular. When he was making "Wolf Warrior 1", he was indeed inexperienced and had many shortcomings.
But he asked himself that he wouldn't make the same mistake twice, "Wolf Warrior 2" has already matured!
The box office of "Wolf Warrior 1" broke 500 million, so "Wolf Warrior 2" is likely to break 800 million, if you are lucky, it is not impossible to break 1 billion!
Of course, Wu Jing also knows that movies are largely a gambling-like industry, and he speaks by luck, but how can his "Wolf Warrior 2" not lose money!
"Wolf Warrior 2" is Wu Jing's child, and Wu Jing's importance to this child is unimaginable to others. Now Wu Jing is like a father who loves like a mountain, running around with his children, planning the future for his children, hoping that the children can get ahead.
But the reality is cruel.
"I'm sorry, director Wu Jing, our company is not interested in investing in films. ”
"What? You said that our company has invested in "Three Lives, Three Worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms"? Uh, our company's funds are already stretched, and we want to invest in you, but the economic situation does not allow it!"
"I'm sorry, Director Wu Jing, we don't think "Wolf Warrior 2" can be profitable!"
"Director Wu Jing, you should know that military action movies have no future in China. Nobody likes to watch this!"
One investment company after another turned Wu Jing away.
Soon, it was time for the sun to set and it was getting dark.
Wu Jing was helpless and returned home with a tired body.
No matter how much wind and rain there is outside, at least home is a warm haven.
At home, his wife Xie Lan has prepared dinner for him, which is very simple, with four dishes and one soup, but it is very delicious and nutritious enough.
After eating in a hurry, Wu Jing smoked cigarettes, one after another, looking very melancholy.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Wu Jing's performance, Xie Lan couldn't help but ask, "Sullen look." Isn't it going well to pull the investment?"
"It's not just that it's not going well, it's just not going well!" Wu Jing smiled bitterly, "No investment company is optimistic about my work, and when people hear that it is a military action movie, they all euphemistically drive people away - you say, is my "Wolf Warrior 2" really so unbearable? Is it really so unpopular?"
"You shoot this movie very carefully, I've seen the film, and it's very good, it's just that they have no eyes!" Xie Lan comforted her husband and said, "Don't worry, the Great Master once said that there will be bread and milk!"
Wu Jing said melancholy: "But where is my bread and milk? Now the crew spends money like running water, but my funds are no longer sustainable! I borrowed a lot from friends, and I really can't pull my face!"
"Don't worry, I've got you!" Xie Lan said, "It's a big deal, I'll sell this big house, and we will live in a small house! In short, no matter what, I will let you make a movie and go to theaters! It's no big deal, I can't sit back and watch your dream wither, I'll water it and wait for it to blossom and bear fruit!"
Xie Lan has accumulated some savings over the years, and the house they live in now is the one that Xie Lan bought, the house in Yanjing Third Ring Road, and there are two schools around. This kind of double-material school district house is very easy to sell, and it will inevitably sell at a high price.
Selling a house to subsidize her husband's filming, Xie Lan has such a determination.
"Thank you!" Wu Jing said gratefully, "But I'm also a gentleman, a man, even if the mountains and rivers are exhausted, I can't let you sell the house......!
"Did you hear that?" Xie Lan said suddenly, "That person is out of the mountain! You might be able to find that person to give it a try." That person's vision in film and television is unmatched in the entire circle. ”
"That person?" Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Who is that person?"
"Ni Ruorong!" Xie Lan said.
"That Ni Ruorong?" Wu Jing was taken aback. He had obviously heard of Ni Ruorong's fame.
"Yes, it's that Ni Ruorong!" Xie Lan said, "The Ni Ruorong who single-handedly created the eldest cousin and He Xiangu! The most ace agent in the entertainment industry! A man with the eye of God! The movies and TV series he sees have no failures! If your movie is really popular, he will definitely not be stingy with investment! He is a bold person!"
The name of the man, the shadow of the tree!
Ni Ruorong!
Even if he has left the entertainment industry for many years, when it comes to the three words Ni Ruorong, everyone knows the old qualifications in the entertainment industry, and no one knows it.
Only Xiao Xianrou in the new era has not experienced Ni Ruorong's dominating era due to his young qualifications, and he doesn't know Ni Ruorong.
This is also the benefit of Yang Xiaotian's efforts to invite Ni Ruorong out of the mountain, Ni Ruorong's own talent is superb, and it is a golden signboard!
With Ni Ruorong in charge, Lehua Entertainment, an eighteenth-tier unknown company in the entertainment industry, can attract many talents and projects, otherwise with a Lehua Entertainment company, even if Yang Xiaotian spends money, it will be difficult to have any miracle results in a short period of time.
"Isn't Ni Ruorong already retired from the entertainment industry and doesn't ask about the world?" Wu Jing was surprised, "I heard that he had a problem with his feelings, self-exile, and was very depressed." ”
Xie Lan sighed faintly: "How can a person like Ni Ruorong be really down, he may have some knots, but now his knot has been untied, so he is back in the rivers and lakes." The return of the king should be expected. ”
Wu Jing asked, "Which company did he join?"
