Chapter 187: How powerful is Lu Lin
The Jiaolong that Wu Jing said in his mouth was not a Jiaolong in the literal sense, but the Jiaolong commando in "Operation Red Sea". The unit is real and subordinate to the Chinese Navy.
When Lu Lin was writing the script, he thought of the dragon commando in the Red Sea, so he added such a small plot. Although the people in the Wolf Warrior Squadron always say that Lao Tzu is the best in the world, when they mention the brother troops in private, they still admit that the other party is very powerful.
Of course, when it comes to the specific names of the troops, they must first be seen by the leaders of the military region.
Wu Jing, an actor who is undergoing military training, said that, all of them secretly complained, and Yang Shuo, who will play the role of Xiao Bao in "Ode to Joy" in the future, said: "Director Wu, what you said, even ordinary soldiers can't do it!"
Wu Jing wanted to roar, but after thinking about it, filming hasn't officially started yet, so don't scare people away. So he smiled and said, "Don't worry, there will be a stand-in when the time comes, and I won't let you guys play high and low!"
Yang Shuo smiled and said, "Director Wu, why do you want to jump high and low, it's dangerous, right?"
Wu Jing thought for a while and said to Zhuang Xiaolong: "Come, you explain it to them!"
Zhuang Xiaolong, a former special forces soldier, obviously memorized some terms, and said: "High jump and low opening is a common airborne method in modern military for special forces of various countries to carry out surprise reconnaissance missions behind enemy lines. In order to avoid the threat of ground-based radar and missiles, parachutists carrying equipment jumped out of the cabin from an altitude of 15,000 feet to 35,000 feet, and descended to a certain altitude close to the target area before opening the parachute. ”
The faces of the actors who were locked up for training changed, and although Wu Jing said that they would use stand-ins, they still felt a little concerned.
Zhang Yi said: "Director Wu, won't everyone use stand-ins, right?"
Wu Jing smiled, of course not, "There are three people who don't need it, me, Xiaolong, and Lu Lin." ”
"Director Lu?"
"He's going to skydive high-altitude and low?"
"Too dangerous, isn't it?"
Everyone looked at each other, and some didn't dare to believe it. Wu Jing is desperate, Lu Lin is now worth more than one billion, and he is a well-known director, so it's not worth working so hard!
Wu Jing smiled: "Don't look at my junior brother Wenwen quietly, his kung fu is amazing!"
Everyone was curious, and Yang Shuo smiled and said, "Hey, Director Wu, tell me, who is the best of you two!"
Wu Jing said: "Anyway, I can't beat him!"
Everyone thought that Wu Jing was touting Director Lu Da, but unexpectedly Wu Jing said again: "Not only me, but everyone I know, I'm afraid everyone who can beat him!"
Everyone was shocked when they heard this, after all, Wu Jing was first in the martial arts team, and then in the entertainment industry, and had entered the grassroots training of the special forces. I am afraid that there are hundreds of martial arts masters and fighting masters who have seen and known, and none of them can beat Lu Lin with so many people, which is a bit exaggerated.
Zhuang Xiaolong was a little unconvinced, he was a former special soldier, not to mention, he also participated in the "International Hunter School Training", which is the one mentioned in "Rushing Out of the Amazon".
"Is it so exaggerated, when Director Lu comes, I'll compare with him!"
Wu Jing smiled and said, "Okay, I'll help you talk to him then, and I promise to make you enjoy the fight!"
In his heart, he thought about the fight with Lu Lin since he came back from the military training of the Jinling Military Region. Tied up, that goods are like connecting the Dugu Nine Swords, always anticipating the enemy's opportunity, and the last to come first. After that time, he didn't fight with Lu Lin anymore, and now Zhuang Xiaolong is willing to find abuse, and Wu Jing has to let him experience it!
Seeing that the old man was smiling with evil, Zhuang Xiaolong had some bad premonitions. But he still doesn't believe how strong the actual combat ability of a person like Lu Lin from a martial arts team is. Even if you can do it in terms of technique, you can't do it physically!
"Okay, then when Director Lu comes, you can mention it to him!"
Wu Jing smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, I'll definitely say!" Everyone gossiped and started military training again.
But in the blink of an eye, in mid-March, the release time of "Hou Yi Shooting Sun" in North America has reached a month. But unlike in China, it is not forced to go offline in one month, but the market has the final say.
A blockbuster with a normal reputation usually lasts more than two months, and "Titanic" was able to set the second highest box office in world film history that year, which is inseparable from the 8-month screening time in the North American market. Life of Pi is available for up to 250 days in some theaters in North America.
One of the longest-running movies in the U.S. is Space Station. The film ran for 296 weeks and lasted for 5 years.
It's unimaginable!
"Hou Yi Shooting Sun" has a great reputation at the North American box office, and there is no problem with two or three months of release. But in other parts of the world and countries, it's basically already drawn.
For example, Europe, Australia and other regions where the painting was opened at the same time as North America. There are also Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia.
Among them, a total of 2.57 billion was obtained in the mainland, which is only less than 300 million more than "The Return of the Great Sage". The reason for this is mainly due to the factor of ticket price changes, and the movie ticket price in 13 years is much lower than that in 11 years. Therefore, although the number of viewers of "Houyi Shooting the Sun" is far more than that of "The Return of the Great Sage", the total box office has only increased by less than 300 million.
In the treasure island area, "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" beat the record of NT$1.1 billion set by "Avatar", and finally won the box office of 1.3 billion. But Hong Kong is a lot worse, not to mention the more than 170 million Hong Kong dollars of "Avatar", "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" didn't even win 100 million, and finally reported more than 74 million Hong Kong dollars, which is nearly 100 million short of "Avatar".
But the results of South Korea are so surprising, it is estimated that the story of "Houyi Shooting the Sun" and Chang'e in the play are regarded as their own.
After the film opened in South Korea, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the number of daily moviegoers went all the way up, and finally surpassed the blockbuster films of "Haeundae", "Taiji Flag Flying", and "League of Thieves" one after another, and also surpassed "Avatar", which had 13.3 million moviegoers in South Korea, and finally fixed 13.98 million people, temporarily ranking first in Korean film history.
If converted into US dollars, it is about more than 83 million, far exceeding the box office of more than 20 million US dollars achieved by "Red Cliff" in South Korea that year.
The box office in Japan was also good, and in the end it won 12.9 billion yen, which is about 114 million when converted into dollars.
But in terms of ranking, it is much worse, temporarily ranking 14th in the history of Japanese films, that is, far lower than the 30.8 billion yen of "Spirited Away" and 15.6 billion yen of "Avatar".
As for other countries in Southeast Asia, due to limited economic development, although the population is large, the total box office of the entire region is only more than 31 million US dollars, which is basically the limit.
Not counting the box office in North America, Europe and Australia, the box office of "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun" alone in Chinese mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan, plus Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia has reached 649 million US dollars.
