Chapter 497: Wolf Warrior II

After the Spring Festival Gala ended, Xu Qian began to prepare for a new movie, it was 9012, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xu Qian wanted to play a big one.

Put "Qian Xuesen" aside first, and "Wolf Warrior 2" will appear in powder.

The movie "Wolf Warrior 2" has been very controversial because his director is Wu Jing, because he touched the nerves of many people, but it is the first in film history.

Although Xu Qian doesn't think "Wolf Warrior 2" is good-looking, he prefers "Operation Red Sea", but Xu Qian will not deny this movie because of his dislike, what the public likes is not necessarily the best, but it will definitely not be bad.

Xu Qian also underestimated Wu Jing a little before, but after getting to know him, he could only admire.

He came from a martial arts family, became famous at a young age, and had countless visions for the future. At the moment, he is lying on the hospital bed, and even such a shameful thing as going to the toilet needs to be taken care of by his mother.

The doctor told him that he might be paralyzed for the rest of his life.

The pride that should have been in the life of a young man, the angry horse and fresh clothes, is about to come to an abrupt end at this moment.

For the sake of dignity, he persuaded his mother to leave the ward, saying that he could take care of himself, but at that time he was struggling to even turn over.

Every time he turned over, he had to pull the bed with one hand and his crotch with the other, and turn himself over in a ten-twisted posture.

"In a kung fu play, I broke the table, and the field manager told me, Brother Jing, don't split, I have to use it again in the next scene. “

In order to make a real kung fu movie, he decided to leave Hong Kong Island and start from scratch.

Some people think that he succeeded too easily.

But who knows the effort behind him?

In order to familiarize himself with his military career, Wu Jing joined the special forces and experienced it for 18 months.

He spent eighteen months in the army, and he was also in the special forces, which was equivalent to a military service in the middle age of success.

Combat units follow the law of the jungle of the jungle, and pay attention to blood and skill. Even if you are an officer or a star, if you are not skilled, you will be ridiculed by the veterans in public, and even the recruits will point fingers behind your back.

During his time in the special forces, he not only kept up with all the training subjects, but also broke several personal records. This is also the confidence of him to shoot a series of military-themed movies such as Wolf Warrior.

Because he is a warrior, no matter how blunt the sword is, no matter how thin the shield is, all I have to do is charge

Very few actors choose to experience life in this way for the sake of a play.

Can anyone else? If he doesn't succeed, who will?

Due to the niche subject matter, he can't attract investment or people.

He is also a producer, producer, producer, director, screenwriter, and starring actor, and even the ending song is his lead singer.

Everyone knows that he sold his house and filmed when he was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", but few people know that he had mortgaged his property when filming "Wolf Warrior 1".

The huge real estate mortgage was all put into the filming of "Wolf Warrior 1": The huge real estate mortgage was all put into the shooting of "Wolf Warrior 1":

More than 30,000 rounds of empty ammunition were consumed.

A total of 5 missiles were launched, each worth a million.

More than 200 sorties were carried out by China's active military aircraft, including J-10 fighters, Z-9 and Wuzhi-10.

The entire "Wolf Warrior 1" took 7 years, and the script was revised as many as 14 times.

By the time "Wolf Warrior 2" was filmed, the entire filming and production had risen to a new level:

Combat vehicles, tanks, assault vehicles, artillery, helicopters, destroyers...... There are too many things for the eye to take in.

The speeding, tail flicking and collision of ten real tanks can be called the "Fast and Furious" version of the tank.

What's even more exaggerated is that the crew blew up hundreds of cars, 2 20-ton full-scale tank models and 1 airplane model.

At that time, capital flocked to him to follow the market.

He was dismissive of this:

Do you want me to respect the market? Sorry, please go away.

He said he wanted to shoot my own work.

He said I can't be raped by capital.

He asked how many Chinese films have been raped by capital?

And he will never allow his films to be tampered with by those filthy capitals.

He does what he says he will do, and he is fearless.

Gambling on real estate, gambling on life, gambling on everything a man can gamble on, and he finally did it: he slapped the capital hard with a report card of 5.6 billion box office.

After thousands of sails, he finally created his own era of action.

After "Wolf Warrior 2", Chinese films were formalized.

In the previous movie era, "Far Cry", "Little Times", "Pancake Man", "Gardenia Blossom", "Why Sheng Xiaomo".

The film industry is a treasure of money in the circle of "people are stupid and money comes quickly". Many actors who haven't even performed their own plays well, even hosts, cross talk actors, writers, and Internet celebrities, have also turned into producers and directors, and flocked into the film industry.

It is precisely because of the wanton harvesting of star capital that all kinds of bad movies are flooded, and a group of traffic stars with sloppy acting skills, rolling dramas, and abusing stand-ins are mixed like fish in water and make a lot of money, how many traditional actors are willing to patiently experience life for their roles as before, and shape the characters with their hearts, instead of joining the same stream, discounting their past reputation and reputation, and joining the money-grabbing army together?

capital, the director feeds to the audience, and also says that the audience is rotten. Because there is only on the market, the audience can only eat.

Then "Wolf Warrior 2" was born, allowing countless people to enter the cinema for the first time in their lives, greatly expanding the movie-going crowd, and allowing many third- and fourth-tier cities to lay theaters on a large scale. The resulting huge expansion of the market has also completely purified the Chinese film market that was full of demons and bad movies in the past few years.

The tens of millions and more than 100 million fans brought by the traffic stars "Little Fresh Meat" have become insignificant, and the effective ones in the past few years have only relied on marketing hype, piling up big-name stars, and rushing to pre-sell and rush to grab the road of films.

Since then, "Wuwen Xidong", "Red Sea Operation", "Living Together in Time and Space", "I Am Not the God of Medicine", "A Good Show", "The Nameless", "The Origin of the White Snake" and "The Wandering Earth", all relied on the reputation of the audience, and made efforts to buck the trend in the later stage.

"Wolf Warrior 2" brought the "small-town youth" to the market.

Compared with those traffic fans, these people are numbered in hundreds of millions.

They don't speak out on the network. But they will spend money to buy votes and vote with their feet.

Some people say that he is lucky, and some people say that he is making patriotic money.

Some people belittled his films as worthless, labeling his audience and the box office he earned as "brain-dead" and "pink".

There were even even direct artillery fires on him, and all kinds of ridicule, humiliation, invective, and personal attacks against him emerged one after another.

But how much can other filmmakers be special forces for a year?

Can you prepare "Wolf Warrior 1" for nearly seven years?

It's been ten years since "Wolf Warrior 2".

Do they dare to mortgage their houses?

Ten years of sharpening a sword, there is no reason to succeed.

What does capital look like, isn't it just that?

He invested 60 million yuan in "The Wandering Earth" and starred in 31 days with zero pay.

At that time, almost no one was optimistic about "The Wandering Earth".

A little-known director, coupled with a group of unknown actors, is such a group of unknown people who want to shoot an unprecedented hard sci-fi blockbuster in the history of Chinese cinema?

Both film practitioners and Chinese sci-fi fans believe that this is simply an impossible task.

And the investor "Wanda Film" made what seemed to be a very wise choice at the time: to withdraw the investment halfway when the entire crew needed money the most.

At the time of Wanda's withdrawal, he came.

The producer asked him to make a cameo, but he didn't say a word, just read the script.

After reading the script, I said something awesome, and then I met with the director.

Meet, drink, drink, and it's done.

said that it was a cameo, but it turned out to be more than a month.

patted and patted, and found that the crew's funds were tight, Wu Jing generously said, "It's okay, I don't want money."

Then there was an incident of Wanda's withdrawal halfway, and the crew suddenly fell into financial difficulties.

At this juncture, Wu Jing sent charcoal in the snow and invested 60 million in the crew in one go.

As a result, an unprecedented scene in the history of Chinese cinema happened:

was originally a cameo actor, but he became a small half of the leading actor, without getting a penny of salary, and he invested tens of millions, but he still voted for a movie that no one has been optimistic about since the project was established.

Someone asked Wu Jing, aren't you afraid that the shooting will be broken and ruin you?

Wu Jing actually said that I am not afraid, even if the shooting is bad, it is better than no one shooting.

Just because he thinks the script is awesome, and because this is the first Chinese hard science fiction movie, Wu Jing gambled on sky-high assets and the most precious reputation for actors!

Standing at that point in time, almost everyone would exclaim:

Wu Jing, are you crazy?

This is not the first time Wu Jing has gone crazy.

When filming "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing mortgaged his villa in exchange for a mortgage of 80 million yuan to invest in the crew.

He said that he had thought that if he lost money, he would live a hard life again, and said that he also lived in a small house of a few square meters when he was a child.

Only then did we know that Wu Jing had long been ready to lose his house.

Is this lucky?

This is what he does not dare to sit on, he has the guts to lose everything, so he succeeds.

said that he made patriotic money, he himself is patriotic!

In 08, he personally went to the disaster area to help with the rescue.

He himself did not mention these experiences and photos in public, and the reason why the photos leaked out was found by netizens when they flipped through his blog.

In addition to helping the disaster area, he and his wife also donated millions to the disaster area through the One Foundation.

At that time, he was not the success he would have been.

So, if this is not patriotic, then what kind of action is?

Over the years, he has been practicing his patriotic beliefs.

And whether it is "Wolf Warrior", "The Climber" or "My Motherland and Me", he sincerely conveys his patriotic feelings in the movie.

In this case, how can we say that "patriotism is a business"?

Movies that gamble on houses, careers, and even lives are choreographed into jokes, jokes, and despised symbols.

And "Wolf Warrior" has actually become synonymous with "brainless patriotism", "straight male cancer" and "keyboard warrior".

Whoever says a few words on the Internet to defend the motherland may be labeled as a "wolf warrior" and then ridiculed.

What is even more terrifying is that the ridicule and abuse against him quickly went beyond the scope of the matter and turned into vulgar jokes and personal attacks.

He sold his house to raise money for filming, and even almost gave his life, all the dedication, dedication and sacrifice in it, to this day, has actually become a piece of chicken feathers, and no one cares.

What exactly did he do wrong?

There are so many actors who abuse stand-ins, they don't hate.

There are so many directors who kneel and lick capital, they don't hate.

There are so many shoddy bad movies, they don't hate.

And when the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" that he took his life to shoot exceeded 5.6 billion, and when the box office of "The Wandering Earth" that he invested in and participated in exceeded 1.5 billion in 5 days after its release, they hated him to death.

So, what exactly are they hating?

Some people speculate that there are some shady forces that maliciously bring the rhythm.

The fire of jealousy of those film capital predators who saw him achieve great commercial success was already in full swing.

And it is these capital predators who have become popular one after another traffic stars who do not learn and have no skills, and have concocted one after another insincere garbage movies.

Of course, they can't tear it up themselves.

So they hid behind the scenes, used capital, hired water armies, and incited public opinion.

With his true temperament, he inevitably said something in public that might cause controversy, which left a slanderous pretext for the water army.

They buzzed like flies, taking these words out of context, maliciously interpreting them, and then concentrating their firepower and smearing them with all their might.

So all the hard work and sweat he put into the movie seemed to evaporate from the world.

And what people remember is only those deliberately concocted black materials, as well as malicious emojis.

He said that he would fight against capital on his own, but in the end he still could not escape the clutches of capital.

And those who are led to the rhythm, we prefer to believe that they do so because they don't know the truth, and not out of human malice.

The reason why they are brought to rhythm is because they have never understood so much hard work, courage and unchanged original intention behind the scenes of the movie.

He is a man with dreams!

It seems that people in this era no longer talk about dreams, and all they can see and talk about is naked money and interests.

And when he proved the power of dreams, courage and perseverance with practical actions, he was scandalized into a ridiculous laughing stock in the overwhelming malice, and the dreams and blood became worthless again in ridicule, sarcasm and abuse:

After all, what's the big deal with one less him and one more traffic star who abuses his stand-in?

After all, even if our world loses its dreams, loses its sincerity, and loses the courage to give it a go, isn't the life of firewood, rice, oil and salt the same?

But this is wrong.

The world needs some idealists to prove to us the meaning and value of dreams, enthusiasm, courage, perseverance, and hard work.

And he is using his life to tell us an answer about dreams and courage, even if people are terrible along the way.

"Wolf Warrior II is imperative!"

This is Xu Qian's decision, no matter how you look at it, this is an excellent commercial film.
