Previous life.

"Operation Mekong" is controlled by Bona Investment, which was released in 2016 and hit the box office of 1.187 billion in one fell swoop.

Director Lin Chaoxian also gained a firm foothold in the mainland film market with this film, and he was out of control.

"Operation Red Sea", directed in 2018, won 3.652 billion box office.

and then in 2021, he co-produced and co-directed the two-part "Changjin Lake" with Chen Daren and Xu Ke, with a total box office of 9.779 billion.

The four movies have created Lin Chaoxian's status as a top Chinese director.

The reason why Fang Ziheng didn't want to miss "Operation Mekong" was that on the one hand, he really wanted to present this tragedy through the movie to warn the world.

On the other hand, it is because of Lin Chaoxian, the director!

Just last week, "Drug War" was painted with a total box office of 570 million, and Lin Chaoxian called to thank him happily, and took the initiative to mention joining Hengyu Media.

Fang Ziheng was sincerely happy, and immediately thought of "Operation Mekong".

Regardless of whether Bona shoots it or not, Hengyu Media will launch "Operation Mekong".

Of course, Fang Ziheng is not a person who eats alone.

Instead of making one for each of the two companies, it is better to work together to make this wonderful movie bigger and stronger.

Yu Dong was stunned for a while, and when he saw Fang Ziheng's serious face, he had to reluctantly let go: "Since Fang Dong is interested, then let's cooperate, but we have to say it first, Bona's share must not be less than 40%, and the production and distribution will be a one-stop shop!" ”

"No problem, that's it!"

Fang Ziheng smiled with his eyebrows and eyes, and took a sip.

Not to mention that Yu Dong wants a 40% share, even if he wants 50% of the two to divide in half, he will also agree.

After all, "Operation Mekong" can be filmed by any film and television company.

With a few words from the two, a film project was finalized, and Chinese Film Chen Yu and Wanda Song Ge on the other side were very tasteful.

What's the situation?

When the two of us don't exist, right?

Song Ge opened his mouth, wanting to let Wanda Film and Television also get involved, but he was worried about the situation in Thailand that Fang Ziheng said.

The movie was filmed live in Thailand, and the reason for the situation may not be able to be established next year.

Song Ge's mind wandered, and he decided to take a look.

According to his speculation, it will be at least 2014 before the Mekong Operation will be officially launched.

Thinking so in his heart, Song Ge's face did not show anything, but showed a look of interest.

"Wanda is also interested in "Operation Mekong", Fang Dong, we are all good friends, you can't favor one over the other!"

"That's right, the Mekong River case is a good subject, the two of them put the case on the big screen, and China Film will give full support."

Chen Yu also laughed out loud, expressing his optimism about the project.

"Haha, it's easy to say."

Fang Ziheng snorted, knowing that Chen Yu and Song Ge were just verbally expressing their meanings, and they didn't really want to participate in the project.

If you really want to participate in the investment, you can directly grab the share with the status of the two people, and there is no need to be so subtle.

Seven o'clock in the evening.

At the beginning of the premiere ceremony, Wu Jing entered the venue with the female No. 1 Song Yi, the male No. 2 Baoqiang, and the male No. 3 Tony Jia with a full face.

Along with it is Wu Jing's girlfriend, tonight's premiere host Xie Nan.

Several people came to the front desk, and the screening room burst into warm applause.

Seeing that Baoqiang was also there, the audience clapped their hands and couldn't help but discuss the genre and style of the movie.

"No, I watched the poster and trailer before, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" should be a story of survival on a desert island, what is the situation with Baoqiang?"

Some viewers made up for it and spontaneously classified Baoqiang as a comedian.

"Dude, have you thought too much, have you forgotten what Baoqiang did in his early years?"

"That is, Baoqiang Shaolin Temple has been practicing martial arts for eight years, and in addition to taking the comedy route, he is also a serious kung fu actor!"

"No matter what the actors, this movie is definitely an action movie!"

"I heard that the filming location is on a small island in the East China Sea, and Wu Jing and they have been there for four months!"

"Yes, it was filmed on an uninhabited island, which is hundreds of nautical miles away from a nearby city."

"It's weird, I watched Brother Jing say in an interview before, in addition to him, Song Yi, Baoqiang, and Tony Jia, there are other white and black actors, what about them?"

"Problem, what do you care about gringos!"

As the audience became louder and louder, Xie Nan picked up the microphone for field control and began to go through the process.

After flipping through the introduction, several white and black actors who were asked by the audience got up from the front seats one by one.

There were five foreigners, two white, one black, one small, and one Smecta.

The five of them are all tall, and all of them are foreign special actors who eat in China.

Xie Nan did not invite the five people to the stage, only asked them to introduce themselves offstage.

With the introduction of several people, a poster with a width of two meters and a height of four meters was brought to the stage by the staff.

On the huge poster, Wu Jing is standing in the C position, with Baoqiang, Song Yi and Tony Jia on both sides, and five foreign actors behind him.

Seeing this, everyone instantly realized that there were only four leading actors, and even if the five gringos were not playing soy sauce scenes, they must be supporting roles.

After a while, Xie Nan shouted in a tone of extreme joy: "Next, let us welcome the producer, screenwriter, and investment distributor of "PUBG" with warm applause!" ”

Bang bang bang..

Applause rang out.

Fang Ziheng, Song Ge, and Yu Dong took the stage in turn.

Fang Ziheng is the most famous and was the first to speak.

He took the microphone, first expressed his affirmation and recognition of Wu Jing, and then boasted about the level of the movie.

"Believe me, "PUBG" is definitely an adrenaline-pumping movie, the plot of the movie is suspenseful, the fighting action is fist-to-flesh, and the moves are deadly, it will definitely provide you with a wonderful audio-visual feast!"

"When I first entered the theater, a media friend asked me what I expected from the movie!"

Speaking of this, Fang Ziheng paused, raised his hand and gestured to everyone, and said in high spirits: "I'm not afraid to brag to everyone, in my opinion, the total box office of the movie is at least this number!" ”

Rumble..

The audience instantly boiled.

700 million!

Oh my God!

The media reporters who had been waiting for a long time frantically pointed the camera at Fang Ziheng and took pictures of his gestures.

Different from the fans who are elated and watch the drama while eating melons, media reporters and invited guests are more knowledgeable about the box office of the movie.

Know the influence of a movie with a box office of more than 700 million.

Previously, when "Drug War" was released, Fang Ziheng released wild words, saying that the "Drug War" movie would definitely break 600 million.

In the end, the total box office of the movie did not reach 600 million, which seemed to be a little slap in the face, but no media said that Fang Ziheng was bragging.

None of them.

"Drug War" is 570 million, only 30 million short of the box office of 600 million.

Whether it is media reporters or guests present, compared with complaining about Fang Ziheng's rhetoric, they believe in his judgment of the movie more and pay more attention to the box office potential of "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds".

PUBG!

Is it really a movie that broke 700 million?

Many guests showed their thoughts, and then turned their heads to look at Wu Jing, who was standing next to Fang Ziheng with a slightly apprehensive expression.

Yo..

This brother also seems to be scared.

Wu Jing was not frightened, but was thinking about how to face the reporter's questions later.

Last year, "Slaying the Wolf 2" was released, and Fang Ziheng stepped down after firing the gun, leaving him alone to face reporters.

Tonight is almost the same as last year.

Fang Ziheng will definitely slip away first, and leave him alone to deal with the storm of reporters.

Wu Jing was slapping the draft in his heart, and at the same time complained that Fang Ziheng sold his teammates.

As expected.

After Fang Ziheng finished speaking, he smiled, handed over the microphone to Xie Nan, and walked off the stage in everyone's dumbfounded eyes.

When Yu Dong and Song Ge saw this, they didn't stay on the stage, leaving Wu Jing alone on the stage.

There were no obstacles, and the reporters rushed up, carrying long guns and short cannons, and surrounded him.

In this way, one side was on the stage and the other side was off the stage, and the two sides launched a fierce verbal exchange.

"Director Wu, do you think "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can reach a box office of 700 million?"

"The box office of the first "Wolf Teeth" is less than 10 million, and the second "Kill the Wolf 2" is 460 million, and the box office has increased dozens of times, how confident do you have in Ling's third movie?"

"Director Wu, I want to ask, do you think "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can break 700 million and break the box office of a new action movie for domestic films!"

Fang Ziheng came to the stage and watched with a smile as Wu Jing was baptized by the media reporters.

Wu Jing is too shy, and he doesn't have the momentum of "Wolf Warrior" at all.

This is not good, self-written, self-directed and self-acted, there must be a force that overwhelms the world and has no opponents.

""Kill the Wolf 2" has already set a record for domestic action movies, no matter whether "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can break 700 million, as long as it surpasses "Kill the Wolf 2", it will be the success of me and the entire crew."

In the end, the reporters were put down by Wu Jing's counterattack.

He told media reporters clearly, you are useless in the bar, an action movie on old paper has surpassed "Ip Man 2" and created a new record.

This time, the old paper only needs to surpass itself!

At half past seven, the film began to show.

The lights in the screening hall were dim, the big screen was lit up, and nearly 1,000 people in the audience stopped to communicate, showing a look of expectation.

With the appearance of the LOGOs of Hengyu Media, Bona, and Wanda Film and Television, the movie had a preemptive opening.

Rumble.. Rumble..

Chirp tweets..

Da Da Da Da ..

No one appeared, and the fierce gunfire reached the audience's ears through the top sound.

Just when a few viewers wondered if it was a war movie, a heavily armed white actor appeared.

on the big screen.

The artillery fire was continuous, and all kinds of weapons and firearms roared wildly, mercilessly harvesting the lives of foreigners one after another.

The white actor snatched the weapon in his hand and scurried around a princely town, retreating and cleanly taking out the enemy who pursued him.

At this time, a set of vertical subtitles appeared on the big screen.

Africa, a small country.

The commander of the poster commando squad, who is on a mission, is surrounded and pursued by rebels.

With several camera cuts, the white man and his squad members successfully completed the mission and escaped the pursuit.

Night.

After the white man rested, he came out to change shifts with the players.

Just as he was holding a weapon and looking at the sky full of stars and showing a smile for the rest of his life, an iron rod fell from the sky and knocked him unconscious.

Two masked men in American-style camouflage combat uniforms glanced disdainfully at the camp not far away, carrying the white commander and retreating silently.

The big screen suddenly darkened.

The scene changes to a developed city in Western Europe.

A white agent who had just been on a mission had not had time to enjoy his dinner when he was knocked unconscious by a man hiding in front of his house with a stick, and he was dragged into a car and hurried away.

The first two scenes raise the audience's mind.

Everyone's eyes lit up, and the secret road started new enough.

Some viewers who have watched the trailer will smile, kidnapping, desert island survival, and the festival is completely right.

The next plot is as the audience thinks.

Another black fighting champion, after winning a boxing match, was attacked and kidnapped by three uninvited guests not long after he was happy.

Then, the camera shifted to Hong Kong Island, and Baoqiang and Song Yi appeared.

The two play the role of a couple of agents who travel to Hong Kong Island after completing their mission.

When the two were playing, they were taken down by strangers, put into a sack and went out to sea, and disappeared without a trace.

Then there's the ninja of the little day.

This guy first seduced the girl in the bar, and then went home alone, and as soon as he entered the house, he encountered a sneak attack, and he planted it without even using the ninja's kung fu.

Then, it was Smecta's taekwondo master's turn.

This guy is even more ridiculous, he just made a few jumping and flying kicks in front of the students in the last second, and the next second he was kicked down by a masked man on the way to get off work.

showed the audience a wave of what it means to pretend to be slapped in the face.

The last to appear were Wu Jing and Tony Jia.

Tony Jia, who plays a low-level ordinary man who practices Muay Thai, does hard labor on the dock for a living.

There is a mother in bed at home, and a younger sister who has just entered junior high school.

During a ship unloading, Tony Jia was attacked by four people, outnumbered in three moves, put into a sack and taken away by a speedboat.

Wu Jing plays Leng Feng, a recently retired special forces.

The camera first gives a long view of a small village, and then comes to a small courtyard with a military family number.

Xie Nan held a two-year-old child in his arms and stood in front of the courtyard with a happy face, looking at the entrance of the village expectantly.

Today is the day when his man retires and returns home.

On this day, Xie Nan waited for a long time, and the husband and wife could finally be reunited.

"Xiao Nan, when Xiao Feng comes back, you will finally come to the bitter end."

"Yes, you husband and wife manage their own little life well, and it is enviable how prosperous it is."

The surrounding neighbors also knew that Leng Feng was coming back today, so they stepped forward to greet Xie Nan warmly.

Leng Feng has been a soldier for ten years.

Except for taking leave to go home to get married three years ago, he hasn't come back a few times, but Xie Nan, who was waiting for him hard.

The camera zooms out into the sky and comes to a concrete road outside the village.

On either side of the road, a curving river, a rolling mountain range.

At the foot of the mountain range, near the roadside, there are a few red-brick houses with people living in them.

This is the entrance to the village, and it is still two or three miles away from the densely populated place of the village.

Since there is no bus in the village to the county seat, there are mostly electric cars, motorcycles, and occasionally a second-hand new bridge car running on the road.

On the road outside, Wu Jing got off a bus and walked into the village with his bags on his back and a happy face.

The camera turned, and he strode forward, past several houses at the entrance of the village to a turning place.

Suddenly!

Wu Jing's face changed suddenly, and he leaned forward to make a standard military dodge move.

There was a pop sound.

A rubber bullet with an anesthetic struck on the concrete floor.

Woohoo

Before Wu Jing could get up, rubber bullets shot one after another, like a rain of arrows, flying straight towards him.

Wu Jinglian dodged the bullets and came all the way to the ravine on the side of the road.

However, it was useless, and there were already people in ambush in the woods behind the ravine.

Tweeted

The ambush man was very close to him, less than ten meters away, and he couldn't hide when the bullets hit.

Bang..

Two tranquilizer guns were fired,

Wu Jing snorted and fell unwillingly.

When he was unconscious, he looked in the direction of home.

There, his wife was waiting for him to come home and be reunited.
