Chapter 184: "Wolf Warrior" is launched

Lu Lin didn't stay at the airport for long, he simply answered three questions from the media neatly, and left quickly under the escort of the bodyguards.

First, I really don't like to be idle and brag to the camera, so if you want to catch up with the promotion of the film, forget it. Now that "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" has been released in the mainland for 50 days, no matter how much publicity it is, it will not have much box office gain, so I am too lazy to deal with the media.

Secondly, it is naturally because of the filming of "Wolf Warrior", although Lu Lin is abroad these days, he has been on the phone with Wu Jing, exchanging opinions with each other, polishing the script, and now he is finally a little eyebrow-raising.

In the revised script of the two, the scene of the training of the wolf warrior squadron was added, and the plot of the exercise was deleted.

To be honest, in the process of polishing the script between the two, Lu Lin found that Wu Jing had a problem, that is, his creative ideas always unconsciously turned into kung fu movie routines.

For example, in the scene of the exercise, in order to highlight the strength of the protagonist Leng Feng, most of the members of the Wolf Warrior Squadron, under the leadership of the deputy captain, plunged into the trap of the other party. Then the prescient cold front, but killed the "brigade commander".

And in jungle warfare, there is no need to mention the tactics of our army. A thunder in the water, a thunder in the soil can put down more than a dozen soldiers, but the cold front can be discharged when he steps on the thunder, and the protagonist's aura is too awesome.

And at the end of the film, the protagonist catches up with the mercenary leader Lao Mao near the border, and he actually turns defeat into victory by "the villain dies from talking too much".

Such a plot really can't stand scrutiny.,If the old cat doesn't talk so much nonsense.,First stab the protagonist with a dagger.,Then we're a complete failure.。 This is clearly using us to highlight the villain, and I can't tell the difference between the big and the small!

In the end, the plot after the unanimous revision by Lu Lin and Wu Jing is: the protagonist Leng Feng first killed the younger brother of the big drug lord, and the big drug lord who was seriously ill and didn't live for long was completely crazy without an heir, and was ready to let a large number of mercenaries cross the border and hunt Leng Feng who served in the army.

But the mercenaries who were lured by the heavy bounty were not crazy, and most of them refused the mission. Only some people who were lucky were willing to do it, and finally organized a team of less than 100 people to cross the border with loaded guns. After they met the Wolf Warrior squadron in training in the wild, they were almost completely wiped out, and only the leader Lao Mao escaped.

The old cat told Minden an important news, Leng Feng, who killed his brother, was actually transferred to serve in the special forces.

Minden was even more angry when he heard the news, and then the old cat came up with an idea, Leng Feng's unit was the closest Chinese special forces to Minden. If Minden carries out a terrorist attack in the vicinity and captures some Chinese hostages, the Chinese side will most likely send Leng Feng's special forces abroad to carry out the mission.

Minden was overjoyed by the idea, and first used a reward of $200 million to gather a team of 500 mercenaries. Helicopter gunships, tanks, rocket artillery, mortars and other weapons were also prepared.

They attacked two Chinese boats on the Mekong River and captured their crews. After the news was transmitted back to China, it was natural to carry out the rescue, and the Wolf Warrior Squadron, which was closest to the scene of the crime, became the best choice for the mission.

Leng Feng and the others went abroad with guns and ammunition, but they did not know that they were greeted by an international mercenary gang of more than 500 people with all kinds of weapons and the most experienced in killing......

After this version of the script was submitted, it was quickly replied, and the military region and Optoelectronics said that it was good, and the script was passed.

Filming military action movies, script review is a big problem, and now that it has been successfully passed, it will be easier to do many things later, the first one is naturally to prepare the crew to choose actors.

Wu Jing, Lu Lin, and Han Dongjun all have to participate, and the rest have to be openly recruited. Fortunately, Lu Lin's name is not comparable to Wu Jing, and there are still many actors who come to take the exam.

For example, the original cast of "Soldier Assault", Zhang Yi, Zhang Guoqiao, and Wang Baoqiao. The first two Lu Lin stayed, and for the bodyguard, Lu Lin refused because his performance in "Thai Embarrassment" was too good, and if he joined "Wolf Warrior", the audience would laugh. The bodyguard was disappointed when he heard this, but he didn't say anything more.

There is also Zhou Zhaolong, who also came to participate in the interview, Lu Lin felt that he had a fierce face and sharp legs, which was more suitable for playing the mercenary leader. Zhou Zhaolong only asked, is there a play?

Lu Lin said yes, and Zhou Zhaolong happily responded to the role.

The actors can't be selected in a while. During the preparation period, the investment in the film had to be secured.

A total of 200 million yuan was invested in the whole film, of which Longlin Pictures invested 100 million. The rest of China Film, Bona, and Guangxian each invested 30 million, and the Television Art Center of the Political Department of the Jinling Military Region invested 10 million.

Lu Lin invited Ni Dahong, Yu Nan and many other stars to make up the main creative lineup of "Wolf Warrior" little by little.

There's no way, who lets everyone know that military action blockbusters are hard, difficult to shoot, and dangerous! After several interviews, Lu Lin had to send out audition invitations to actors he thought were suitable.

In this way, by the beginning of March, the main creative team of "Wolf Warrior" was basically assembled, and Lu Lin and Wu Jing rushed to Jinling with the actors to participate in the launch conference.

There is no way, many light and heavy weapons in the film are supported and provided by the Tojinling Military Region. When it comes to the scenes of these weapons, they basically have to be filmed near the military region group, and they can't go to southern Yunnan for a while.

On Saturday, March 16, on an open field not far from the entrance of Pingshan Forest Park in Jinling, the opening ceremony of "Wolf Warrior" and the new film press conference were being held.

After offering incense and worshipping God, media reporters flocked to Lu Lin and handed the microphone to Lu Lin.

"Director Lu Lin, now "Hou Yi Shoots the Sun" has been released in North America for more than 30 days, and the box office is ......"

Unexpectedly, Lu Lin said directly to the microphone: "I'm sorry, today is the launch ceremony of "Wolf Warrior" and the new film press conference, please ask some questions related to "Wolf Warrior". ”

The media reporters secretly said in their hearts: "The hottest thing now, the most able to win the attention of the audience, is the topic related to "Hou Yi Shooting the Sun"!" However, Lu Lin refused, and the reporters had no choice but to interview in a proper manner.

"Hello Director Lu, I'm a reporter from Penguin Entertainment, can you tell me what this "Wolf Warrior" is about?"

Lu Lin said into the microphone: "What this film is about is that the role played by my senior brother Wu Jing is a special soldier named Leng Feng, who serves in the Wolf Warrior Squadron. Later, he encountered mercenaries who broke into the country, and cooperated with his teammates to eliminate the mercenaries who broke into these files at the border. ”

For the sake of confidentiality, Lu Lin did not reveal the full version of the plot, but only talked about part of the domestic plot.
