The publicity and distribution team of "Asura" is relatively pitiful, and in another time and space, many viewers only knew when the movie was about to be released that the Chinese film industry had released a special effects blockbuster with an investment of 700 million.

It's inefficient enough!

Moreover, it is not clear what kind of story it tells and where the selling point of attracting the audience is. Many viewers were stunned after watching the trailer and announcing the copy.

As for the main poster, it is even worse, and many viewers who look at it with three faces are inexplicable. But the focus of this film's publicity is actually on special effects.

It's a pity that over the years, domestic audiences have watched a lot of Hollywood blockbusters and movies produced by Longlin Pictures, Xu Ke and Zhang Yimu have disappointed the audience one after another.

This time, Xixia Film Group and Zhenjian Film Studio also did not make great achievements in the promotion and distribution of "Asura". As a result, before the movie was released, there was a lot of complaints on the Internet, which was not favored by people from all walks of life.

Lu Lin didn't bother to pay more attention, and explained the preparations for "Romance of the Dragon and Snake", and then returned to the crew of "Havoc in Heaven" to continue filming.

On this day, Sun Wukong was photographed on the demon slaying platform, unlike the previous version, Sun Wukong did not go alone this time, but a group of brothers accompanied him to his death.

The supervisor Tota Li Tianwang sat on the platform, and Sun Wukong and a group of demon kings were escorted out.

"Peng Demon King!"

"Get on your knees!"

"Lion Llama King!"

"Get on your knees!"

"Macaque King!"

"Get on your knees!"

"Tamarin King!"

"Get on your knees!"

In order to show the majesty of the heavenly court, every time Tai Bai Xing pronounced the name of a demon king, four powerful ghost kings shouted "kneel" in a loud voice!

Near the demon slaying platform, there are three steps, one post, five steps and one sentry, all of which are heavenly soldiers with helmets and armor. At this moment, the majesty of the heavenly court is fully displayed, and the big trouble after Sun Wukong comes out of the Dan furnace can make people happy.

"Monkey King Monkey King!"

"Get on your knees!"

The four powerful ghost kings shouted in unison, and the Monkey King played by Wu Jing stood still. There are heavenly soldiers who use blades to hit Sun Wukong's knees, and the effect after special effects is that Sun Wukong, who has eaten peach and golden pills, is like a dark iron, and he can not lose a single bit if he is hit by heavenly soldiers, so that the knife and axe behind him are chopped, and the thunder is fired.

"OK!" Lu Lin shouted behind the monitor, and the actors hurriedly got up, rested, touched up their makeup, etc.

Wu Jing went to Lu Lin's side and took a look at his performance just now before saying, "At this rate, how can it be completed in mid-June!"

Lu Lin said: "If it goes more smoothly, everything can be done in early June!"

"It's just right, when the time comes, I will be able to fully promote "Wolf Warrior 2"!" Wu Jing has relatively few works in the past two years, and the "Wolf Warrior" series is his masterpiece, so it can be said that I can't pay too much attention to it.

Lu Lin smiled and said, "With "Lich War" in front, why are you in a hurry?"

"Grab attention and grab the box office, there are so many blockbusters in the summer this year, you should be like you, full of confidence all day long!"

There are quite a lot of blockbusters this summer, in addition to "The Wandering Earth", which has broken the box office record of Chinese films, there are also "Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2", "Pirates of the Caribbean 5", "Asura", "Alien: Covenant", "Transformers 5", "Wonder Woman", "New Mummy".

Thanks to the fact that most of these films are concentrated in May and June, it is very likely that Wu Jing will not take any work, guarding the post-production of "Wolf Warrior 2" every day, and participating in every aspect of the publicity and distribution work.

Lu Lin said: "Although Hollywood is the strongest in the world, it has actually been going downhill in the past two years, either sequels or remakes, and the number of moviegoers has been declining year by year!"

After thinking about it, he smiled bitterly: "Actually, Longlin Pictures is also a bit downhill, either a sequel or a remake!"

Wu Jing smiled and said: "You have been downhill in the four blockbusters this year, what angle do you have on this slope!"

Lu Lin sighed: "What I'm talking about is that innovation is difficult, and many viewers complain that there is nothing new!"

Wu Jing said: "The sequel to the commercial blockbuster is safe! This is the mature film industry model, and they are purely changing places with one shot!"

Lu Lin nodded and smiled: "Senior brother still understands it!"

During the chat, all the matters for the next scene were ready, and Lu Lin directed the crew to continue filming.

In addition, "The Wandering Earth" on the May Day holiday, with the blessing of super high word-of-mouth, the mainland box office soared, exceeding 4 billion in 17 days of release, making the mainland box office of Chinese films break through the 4 billion mark for the first time.

This achievement really blinded many people's eyes. But the main thing is to surprise and shock.

Four billion, I didn't dare to think about it before! Besides, I just feel that it must be Lu Lin who set this record.

How could he have thought that Guo Fan, a youth film director who filmed "The Man at the Table", could achieve such proud results for the first time when he transformed into a special effects blockbuster?

The secret key will definitely be postponed, but new films will be released one after another, and I think there will be no movies that will hit 5 billion in the next year and a half, many people think so.

On May 20th, the crew of "Havoc in Heaven" had an extremely rare day off, but it was not because Lu Lin wanted to celebrate the festival with Jing Yan, but for the celebration banquet of "The Wandering Earth".

The first Chinese-language film to have a box office of more than 4 billion yuan in the mainland, so it is natural to commemorate it.

In Beijing, Sofitel Wanda Hotel, executives of Longlin Pictures, the main actors and crew members of "The Wandering Earth" gathered together. and Brother Cheng Long and Director Xu Ke came to cheer.

At the wine table, Brother Cheng Long hugged Lu Lin's shoulders and said with emotion: "It's really terrifying, the box office of one of your movies was very remarkable for two or three billion, and now it is over four billion!"

Lu Lin said in his heart: "If you make one with your heart, instead of making several films a year, there is still some hope!"

It is said that in just 17 years, Brother Cheng Long has released four movies, "Kung Fu Yoga", "British Showdown", "Blood of the Machine", and "Anxiety Relief Grocery Store", which is also quite hard!

But it's hard to say, just said: "The main thing is that today's film market is getting better and better, if the content of the film touches a certain point in the audience's heart, maybe when, another film of four or five billion yuan will emerge!"

Cheng Long thought that Lu Lin was talking about the upcoming "Lich War", and said with a slight bow: "I have watched your Flood Wilderness series, which is really good, but it's a pity that I was too busy before, otherwise I should really go to "Lich War" to play a cameo role!"

Lu Lin laughed, and then said, "It's a pity, I knew that I should have invited Brother Cheng Long!"

Cheng Long said: "It's okay, wait for the next time you have a good role, you call me!"

When Lu Lin heard this, he couldn't help but have a thought in his heart, and said secretly: "He later started to endorse web games, and inviting him to make a guest appearance in a TV series is not to look down on him!"

But said: "Brother Cheng Long, I am going to shoot an action TV series "Romance of the Dragon and Snake" with the theme of traditional martial arts in the second half of the year, are you interested in coming over to make a cameo appearance as a master!"
