Chapter 243: Drinking Celebration Wine Today
On January 15, 2014, the cumulative box office of "Wolf Warrior" in the mainland exceeded 2 billion, becoming the third film in the Chinese film industry to exceed 2 billion. Wu Jing also became the second 2 billion director after Lu Lin.
After the news was released, it really shook the circle and fans cheered. The media even wrote various articles to report all kinds of true and false news about Wu Jing.
What kind of debut is the male protagonist of the movie, he was cultivated as the second Liyangzhong, he was bullied when he was mixed in the Hong Kong Island film industry, and he was violently beaten and discounted four sticks when filming "Slaying the Wolf", .......
Anyway, no matter what the news, as long as there is the word Wu Jing, someone will click on it to read it.
Similarly, there is a lot of news about Lu Lin, after all, he is the signed producer, and he is responsible for the special effects in the film.
In an interview, Wu Jing said that without Lu Lin's help, there would be no "Wolf Warrior" today.
The reporter of "China Film Report" asked: How much influence did director Lu Lin have on the film?
Wu Jing said with a smile: "A lot, let's put it this way! Seeing the current finished film, thinking about the first draft of the script, I can't bear to look at it directly! I also designed a scene of a man-wolf battle, but he deleted it without hesitation!"
The reporter was surprised: "Really fight with wolves?"
Wu Jing smiled: "Wolf Warrior, how much it fits the theme!" But he said that the audience will feel unreasonable and will make a play, and it does not reflect the strength of the Wolf Warrior players. ”
The reporter laughed, "So the script is mainly the opinion of Director Lu Lin?"
Wu Jing nodded, "There are also special effects, he contributes the most!"
Reporter: "Can you tell us more about that?"
Wu Jing said: "For example, hundreds of Wuzhi-10 helicopters appeared at the same time, as well as tanks and artillery. I was skeptical at first, afraid that the audience would say that the scene was fake.
However, Lu Lin said that the outside world does not know how much authority and support the military region can give to its subordinate special forces. If it is said that the efforts of the country are to build a special forces team that is well-known all over the world, then this scene is just a drizzle. Besides, we are a big country, and the audience will be a little surprised and questioned at most, and then they will be shocked by the scene!"
The reporter couldn't help nodding and couldn't hide his excitement: "Indeed, when I saw those pictures on the big screen, I really, I felt a sour nose for a moment." ”
Wu Jing laughed and said, "He still succeeded!"
The reporter asked again: "Did you use a lot of special effects in the scene of Wuzhi-10?"
Wu Jing's expression was deserved, "Of course, this thing is too expensive, if there is an accident during filming, the crew can't afford to pay for it." ”
He immediately stretched out two fingers and said, "There are two sorties in total, twice." ”
The reporter exclaimed: "It's all special effects synthesis?
Wu Jing smiled: "It was in the studio, shot on a green screen, and then synthesized together. To be honest, it was both expensive and troublesome, and all kinds of mistakes made me scratch my hair and want to curse, but fortunately, the effect was surprisingly good, and it won unanimous praise from the audience!"
The reporter smiled: "But some netizens said that this is also the main reason for the failure of "Wolf Warrior" at the overseas box office, and some small countries feel that what is displayed in "Wolf Warrior" is similar to the equipment that they can dispatch in the three-armed exercises, which hurts the national self-confidence too much!"
Wu Jing said with a smile: "Lu Lin has a sentence that I agree with, that is, don't expect a movie to please audiences around the world. Because there are cultural differences, if you want to please both Eastern and Western audiences, the result will only be nondescript. This "Wolf Warrior" is mainly filmed for Chinese people, as long as the domestic audience says they like it and cool after watching it, it is enough. Overseas box office and word-of-mouth, I don't care!"
The reporter clapped his hands and said: "That's right, it's really a great blessing for Chinese films to have Director Lu and Director Wu, congratulations again to Director Wu for entering the 2 billion club, and I also wish "Wolf Warrior" can create more records!"
Wu Jing smiled and said, "Thank you!"
In addition to accepting various interviews, Wu Jing also has to participate in the celebration of the box office of "Wolf Warrior" exceeding 2 billion, which is hosted by Longlin Pictures, which has the largest investment. Lu Lin didn't say anything about being there, but also told Song Ge that he must have a big banquet and make it lively.
Because in another time and space, although "Wolf Warrior 2" won 5.6 billion box office, the premiere and celebration party were extremely deserted. At the celebration of breaking 5 billion, many of the leading actors in the drama were filming in other places and were absent, and there were only two stars present: Shi Xiaolong and Li Xiaoran.
The fundamental reason is that Wu Jing broke out by himself, not by any circle of forces. In addition, before the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", many bigwigs were not optimistic. Who knew that he would make a 5.6 billion against the sky, which was a slap in the face.
Whether it's the main creators or Wu Jing, they should all want to be low-key. But in this world, Lu Lin can't let his senior brother succeed and still has a cautious posture of swallowing his anger.
Not only to do it, but also to do it lively, vigorously!
And Wu Jing, under the care of Longlin Pictures, knew that he was going to soar to the sky, and many bigwig capitals continued to woo Wu Jing, asking him if he had the idea of a sequel, and came to participate in the celebration.
On January 18th, in the capital, in the hotel banquet hall where the "Wolf Warrior" broke two billion celebrations, bigwigs gathered and the stars were shining.
In addition to the main creative stars in the play, Zhao Liying, Reba, Du Xiaorao, Han Dongjun, Zhang Yishan, Chen He, Zheng Kai, etc. under Longlin attended one after another.
Popular actresses such as Tong Liya, Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Jing Yan also came to cheer, but they looked at Lu Lin's face.
On the big guy's side, Han Dong of China Film, Yu Dong and Huang Minfang of Bona, Wang Changtian and Li Xiaoping of the glamorous Wang, Ye Ning of Wanda, Zhang Zhao of Leshi, and Li Ming of Xiaoma were all present, but many of them came for Wu Jing.
Guangchong's signboard of "Wolf Warrior", the title of the second two billion director, Wu Jing is also worth wooing! The so-called brothers settle accounts, let alone senior brothers. As long as the conditions are high enough, it may not be impossible to win Wu Jing over, some people are thinking in their hearts.
At the banquet, Wu Jing was flattered by the stars like a moon. Lu Lin's side, it's not that no one paid attention, Han Shanping asked about "The Three-Body Problem".
"Does the script have eyebrows?"
Lu Lin said with a smile: "My "Nuwa Mending the Sky" is still in the filming stage, and I don't have the energy to be distracted from writing the script, mainly because the people in the company's screenwriting department are writing the first draft. ”
Han Shanping smiled: "You, you're too good at appetizing!"
Lu Lin smiled and said, "It's just to publicize it in advance!"
Yu Dong on the side said: ""The Three-Body Problem" is a good project, and it will definitely sweep the global box office after filming, but it is also quite difficult to adapt and shoot this thing!"
Wang Changtian also said: "Indeed, after all, it is a science fiction theme, and it is less affected by the cultural differences of various countries.
