Chapter 655 Cooperation Intent
|||->-> Unlike the Wang brothers, Wu Jing didn't have any palace style and royal style when he was entertained.
Of course, this is mainly due to personal origin.
The Wang brothers are more or less disciples of the big courtyard, and they naturally feel that they are so much taller than people outside the imperial capital, and although Wu Jing was also born in the imperial capital, he is just a child of an ordinary family, even if he inevitably has the support of nobles after stepping into the film and television industry, but no matter how he says, he also relies on his own ability to work hard step by step, such a person, even if you ask him to pretend to be a palace fan, he probably can't pretend to be like it.
Moreover, Wu Jing has never heard of Li Moyou's liking to talk about pomp and circumstance, when watching the rows.
Since people themselves are not interested, what are they doing pretending to be this kind of 13?
Although he practiced martial arts at Shichahai Sports School in the imperial capital when he was a child, Wu Jing has been in the industry for more than ten years, and at this time, there is still no shortage of emotional intelligence.
"Li Mo, come and sit down, I've been waiting for you for a long time. ”
Although he didn't go to the door of the restaurant to greet him, as soon as Li Mo entered the door, Wu Jing still stood up and greeted him warmly.
It's not that Wu Jing is too flattering, deep in his heart, he really regards Li Mo as a friend who can be confided with.
And the other party really has nothing to say about him.
Although it is only the first time to cooperate with Molong Media, the other party not only accounts for the majority of the investment, but also pays out of pocket for all the distribution costs.
What's more, Wu Jing has also seen the distribution plan formulated by Mo Long, except for the release schedule 3 months later than Wu Jing expected, other aspects are definitely the ultimate in the same budget movie......
What's more critical is that the domestic film market in April has proven the correctness of Li Mo's decision.
The facts are in front of us, "Let's Get Married" with a box office score of less than 200 million, and the results of the next film in less than a month fully prove what it will be like to collide head-on with "Fast and Furious 7".
Speaking of which, "Let's Get Married" is still a work aimed at female audiences, although the investment of "Wolf Warrior" is higher than that of "Let's Get Married", it is obviously not a female-oriented work, and it is really hard to say whether the end will be worse......
In fact, as Wu Jing worried, the original time and space's "Wolf Warrior" did not occupy the market in first-tier cities.
"Wolf Warrior" in the original time and space was able to win 500 million box office in 10 days, relying on Wu Jing from Quancheng on March 18 to Chang'an on April 7, this product ran to one city a day, and each city had to go to an average of 6 to 8 movie theaters, during which he ran a total of 20 cities and went to almost 160 cinemas......
I didn't rest for three days......
And most of the places I went to were second- and third-tier cities on the box office map.
Having said that, Wu Jing's hand can be regarded as putting Taizu's policy of 'the countryside surrounding the city' into practice.
It's a pity that if it hadn't been for "Furious 7", with the momentum of "Wolf Warrior" at that time, it might not be a dream to hit one billion......
Anyway, at least in the eyes of Wu Jing now, cooperating with Li Mo and Molong is definitely beneficial and harmless to him, and it seems that there is no problem with public and private, being enthusiastic, and smiling more......
"Brother Jing, it's been a long time. Although it took a little effort to persuade Wu Jing last time, it is naturally not difficult for Li Mo to understand that Wu Jing chose to invite him to dinner at the moment when "Fast and Furious 7" broke 1.6 billion, which itself carried the meaning of half making amends and half winning over the relationship, so he also behaved very enthusiastically, "How are the injuries on your body?"
"It's been a lot of things that have been accumulated over the years," Wu Jing shook her head helplessly and patted her injured legs, "This will ensure that they won't give me trouble, even if it's good, I don't expect to recover completely." ”
"It's a pity," Li Mo looked quite regretful, "Originally, those who did martial arts were covered with injuries, and there are few people who have mixed up from martial arts, and now the action movie market is sluggish......"
"Who says it's not," Speaking of the current situation of action movies, Wu Jing's mood was also quite high just now, and she also fell, "Li Mo, to be honest, I don't know if there is such a category as action movies after our generation goes down." ”
It's no wonder that Wu Jing is full of complaints, the action movies of the past two years have indeed been a bit miserable.
Xiangjiang is all supported by the IP of "Ip Man", and it is estimated that the treasure island has long not known what an action movie is......
In the mainland, there are Xu Ke's "Di Renjie" series and Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Catches", but it remains to be said whether those two can be considered action movies......
"Tongtian Empire" is not bad, although the disguise and the red flame golden turtle are a bit magical, but they can still be explained by the theory of the martial arts world;
As for "Shendu Dragon King"?
Please explain the meaning of the BMW that can breathe underwater.
And Chen Jiashang's "Four Famous Catches" ......
The ruthless, cold-blooded, iron-handed, and life-chasing four in that thing, and those who read a little more can see that it clearly corresponds to the X-Men's Phoenix Girl + Wolverine, and then matches the Qilin arm that is shocking and Nie Feng's Fengshen legs......
The whole thing is a pot of Northeast stew......
And Li Mo happens to be the kind that reads a relatively large amount of films, and the Liu Yifei and Jiang Yiyan he watched in the original time and space are on the screen, you biu come over, and I have all kinds of hidden weapons in the past, and I am going to be embarrassed......
"Brother Jing, don't be too discouraged," Li Mo took a sip from his cup, "When your "Wolf Warrior" is launched, I dare to guarantee that the one who carries the flag in the domestic action movie is definitely you." ”
"Hopefully," Wu Jing reluctantly picked up the cup and agreed, still a little sad, "Actually, my requirements for "Wolf Warrior" are really not high, I can recover the cost, and then make a little profit, enough for me to shoot the second part......"
"Wait, wait, wait, according to what you mean, this first part hasn't been released yet, and you've already started to prepare for the second part?"
"Well, it's not a preparation," Wu Jing realized that she had lost her mind for a while and said that she had leaked her mouth, "Actually, from the very beginning, I wanted to make "Wolf Warrior" into a trilogy, although the last two parts did not have a detailed script, but the outline and plot synopsis were ready. ”
This was a bit unexpected by Li Mo.
When the original time and space "Wolf Warrior 2" was promoted, Wu Jing also mentioned that he was preparing a trilogy script, but at that time, Li Mo just regarded that as Wu Jing's propaganda needs.
After all, the record-breaking box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" has basically ensured that the basic plate of "Wolf Warrior 3" will not be too bad, in this case, even fools know that it is the smartest thing to continue to hang the audience's appetite and let them look forward to the advent of the third part, but now it seems that Wu Jing's words are not necessarily said for the sake of publicity.
"Brother Jing, if you can trust me, tell me the story of the next two first, if there is no problem, we are willing to continue to cooperate. ”
"What's not to believe in this," Wu Jing waved his hand magnificently, "I also know that you often write scripts by yourself, and you just do ...... for me."
Through Wu Jing's description, Li Mo roughly understood the plot outline of the last two parts of "Wolf Warrior".
As expected, the plot of the second part is basically the same as the original time and space "Wolf Warrior 2", while the third part tells the story between the first and second parts......
Although Li Mo has no impression of the third part, "Wolf Warrior 2" alone is enough to make Li Mo decide.
"Brother Jing, you take advantage of this time to have nothing to do, hurry up and find someone to write out the scripts of the next two parts, so that the two companies can sign the contract, and then apply for a shooting permit or something. ”
"Thank you so much, I'll get the script out when I get back. ”
Wu Jing didn't expect that she just invited a meal, and actually gave the intention of cooperation between the next two parts, this is simply a pie falling from the sky.
"Li Mo, if there is anything useful to me, just speak. ”
"Hehe, Brother Jing, I just happen to have something here, I want to ask you for help......"
Li Mo was really unkind, and immediately opened his mouth with a smile.
I don't know what's going on, looking at the smile on Li Mo's face, Wu Jing seems to have a feeling of being on a thief ship......
