Chapter 175: "Wolf Warrior" Upgrade

Domestic military action movies are a rare genre in Chinese movies that get better and better. Because this type is not easy to mix, there are not many people who dare to come and fill the number.

Just like Mr. Guo said, if a man is over 30 years old, and you let him go to the Peking Opera Company to learn opera, he won't be killed!

But you have to let him say cross talk, hey, this dare. If you are bold and thick-skinned, you will not have stage fright on stage, and if you become popular one day after practicing a few jokes, you will be able to go around performing and cheating money.

The overall quality of military action movies is also good, firstly, it is difficult to shoot, and secondly, the domestic audience is influenced by Hollywood blockbusters, and you can see at a glance whether you can shoot or not.

Therefore, domestic actors who change careers to become directors basically start with youth films and comedy films. Because it is easy to shoot, youth films are nothing more than early love, car accidents, abortions, and some feelings. Comedy is just a funny joke on the Internet, all kinds of pretending to be crazy and stupid to squeak and laugh.

In the Chinese film market, where many big directors are generally immersed in their own world and various cold, youth and comedy films that can connect a little bit and put down their bodies are naturally popular with the audience, and the box office continues to hit new highs.

And Wu Jing, as an action actor and director, dares to challenge the difficult genre of military action movies, which is quite commendable in terms of courage.

However, as a pioneering work, the status of "Wolf Warrior" is not very high. The first is that the latecomers are getting better and better, and the second is limited by funds, conditions, directorial skills, etc., and there are indeed many flaws.

For example, the picture quality of the film and the equipment of the team members are not as shocking as "Operation Red Sea" at all. Another very important point is that in "Operation Red Sea", our army fights more with less, but in "Wolf Warrior", it is the mercenaries who fight more with less, which does not show the prestige of our army at all, and it is worse in terms of ignition!

Hearing Wu Jing ask for help, Lu Lin smiled, "Do you want me to just help you find actors, or do you want other places to help?"

Wu Jing said: "Of course, it's a lot of help, but you are now a big director, and the rest of the work plan is estimated to be arranged. ”

In Wu Jing's thoughts, as long as Lu Lin is willing to supervise the production under his name and then co-produce it, he will save too much effort and money when he publicizes it in the future.

But Lu Lin pondered and did not answer immediately. In his original work plan, "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" will be "The Company of Soldiers" after filming, and "Company of Heroes" will be released on "Lich Wars" after the end.

But even if the story background of "Company of Heroes" is set in the next few decades or hundreds of years, tanks, armor, and light and heavy weapons will eventually be involved. He is good at special effects and action design, and he has no experience in the military, so why not practice his skills with "Wolf Warrior", and when he shoots "Male Company" in the future, he can also be handy in scheduling scenes.

In addition, films such as "Wolf Warrior", "Red Sea Operation", "Mekong Operation", and "Sky Hunting" were all supported by some ministries or military regions during the filming process. In the future, if "Soldier Company" wants to be filmed, it will inevitably be like this, and now joining the main creative team of "Wolf Warrior" can also make a good relationship in advance.

Thinking of these, Lu Lin had already made up his mind in his heart, and said with a smile: "My future shooting plan is not in a hurry, but your film, which is a precedent for domestic military action, has to be compared with Hollywood military action movies, once the shooting is not good, it is not just you and my brothers who are ashamed!"

When Wu Jing heard this, he instantly felt Alexander. said in his heart: "I'm here to ask you for help, why do you put pressure on me!"

Stretched out his hands and rubbed them on his face before he said, "If you say that, I'm a little bit of a retreat!"

Lu Lin hurriedly smiled: "Don't, don't, let's come together, it will definitely not be bad!"

Wu Jing was overjoyed when he heard this, and his eyes lit up and said, "Come together, you want to do your best to make this movie?"

Lu Lin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, what is your budget for this film?"

Wu Jing said: "Eighty million!"

Lu Lin said: "It's too little, 200 million!"

"200 million?" Wu Jing was a little smacked, even if he hadn't raised enough 80 million, because too many people didn't look at it, and even his own confidence was not very strong, so he had never mentioned the matter of funds to Lu Lin before.

"With a total investment of 200 million, you can invest yourself or contact a part of the funds, and I will make up for the rest!"

Wu Jing smiled, "If it is produced by Longlin Pictures, there should be many people rushing to invest!"

Lu Lin shook his head slightly, and said, "Not necessarily, the scale of this kind of theme is too difficult to grasp, and there will not be too many people who are optimistic about it." ”

Wu Jing thought about it, but said: "Then you will be the director, and I will still be your deputy!"

Lu Lin waved his hand and said: "You are still the director, I will be the producer, and I am not very good at military action!"

Wu Jing said: "Then I'll co-direct with Li Zhongzhi!"

Li Zhongzhi has collaborated with Wu Jing many times, such as acting as an action director in "New Shaolin Temple", "The True Colors of Men", and "West Wind Spirit", and was also a director in Wu Jing's directorial debut.

But Lu Lin is not very optimistic about this person's level, he wants to cooperate with Lin Chaomian more, but this person should be filming "Fierce Wars" at the moment, I am afraid that he will not have time, so he said: "Then him!"

Wu Jing saw that Lu Lin recognized the person he recommended, and he was a little excited in his heart, and suddenly said: "If the cost is 200 million, the scene can be made a little bigger, and now this script is not good!"

Because the original idea was not to rob the theme created by Wu Jing, Lu Lin did not use any brains about the script of "Wolf Warrior". It's just a plot outline, and Wu Jing found a screenwriter to jointly make a book.

"Oh, what is your book written like?" Lu Lin asked with a smile.

He really didn't have the notebook with him, but in the process of looking for investment, he told others many times, and some words were already able to be memorized, so he said the full version he made.

Lu Lin sighed slightly when he heard this, he could only say that history has inertia, and it is actually the same as in another time and space!

"What, this book doesn't work?" Wu Jing was actually a little nervous.

Lu Lin smiled and said: "I can't say that, the book is okay, it's just a little not enough to burn!"

"Not burning enough?" Wu Jing said as if he didn't understand, and then said: "Those who offend me will be punished even if they are far away!"

Lu Lin said with a smile: "This is very uplifting, but the plot conflict is not enough!"

A drug lord in a small Southeast Asian country, in order to avenge his younger brother, invited a few international mercenaries to sneak into the border to find a division-level field unit to kill a special forces soldier who is serving in the army, this plot has no sense of urgency!

If these mercenaries are unlucky, they collide with a large army of our army, and a cannon cover will be blown into slag!
