"Have you found the actors, do you need help?"

Ding Xiu was worried that Wu Jing would not be able to find a good actor.

With such a big investment this time, he estimates that the cast will be expanded, and it will not be like the previous one, inviting some low-reputation actors.

There are even many people in Wolf Warrior 1 who are not professional actors, but professional soldiers.

"Don't worry, it's proper, I've been out for so many years, and I still have this connection." Wu Jing took out a cigarette and lit one for Ding Xiu, and then lit it for himself: "In terms of the heroine, I plan to use a newcomer, a mixed-race, good-looking, international style, and the price is cheap." ”

The Qin Dynasty invested 50 million at all, although Ding Xiu did not interfere with who he used, but there were some ideas that should be told or told.

"You're so bold, aren't you afraid of losing money?"

"I can't pay for it." Wu Jing took a deep puff of cigarette and said, "The actor is still me." ”

"In terms of supporting actors, in addition to inviting a few old actors, I am also ready to add traffic stars."

"It seems that you are not stupid, I see you scolding traffic stars in the media every day, but it still works."

Wu was shocked: "The entertainment media of Dog Day took my words out of context and cut my words randomly, which was not what I said at the time. ”

"Traffic stars have the benefits of traffic stars, there are many fans, there is a box office, there is no need to use it in vain, how can I reject it."

In the past six months or so, I have been a bit high-profile, frequently attending various occasions, accepting interviews with dozens of media, and participating in various ceremonial parties.

For the sake of the amount of topics, some media inevitably pit themselves and pinch off what they say, saying that they look down on traffic star Xiao Xianrou.

For a few days, he was scolded miserably by those fans of Little Fresh Meat, and he organized a group to scold him every day.

There are also Weibo private messages chasing and scolding, and the genealogy has greeted him dozens of times.

made him impatient, closed the private message, and then caught a few typical examples, and activated the lawyer's letter warning, which stopped.

Ding Xiu glanced up and said flatly: "Now you know how powerful the media is, some people want to be clean, you are in the light, people are in the dark, how to hide?" ”

"Make a fortune in a muffled voice, and when you make money, you honestly find a place to eat, drink and have fun, and what kind of limelight."

"In this regard, you learn from Li Lianjie, he never attends meaningless ceremonies, parties, dinners, only chats with the boss who says he can count, and drinks tea."

"Sometimes what you get from talking and laughing with hundreds of people at the front desk is far less effective than having a cup of tea with the boss backstage."

Wu exclaimed: "Isn't it a little floating, I want to show off, who knew there would be so much trouble." ”

"When Wolf Warrior 2 is released, I will definitely stop for a while and squat at home honestly."

The brocade does not return to the hometown, just like the brocade clothes walking at night.

If you don't go out to show off when you make money, how can others know that he is awesome.

Wu Jing had such an idea before.

During that time, I drank every day, met the boss, talked and laughed with the big director, hooked up with the big stars, called brothers and sisters, and the scenery was infinite.

Who knew that there would be so many people secretly who looked at him unpleasantly, stumbled him, and played shady tricks.

The media took the quote out of context, and it was still good to be scolded by netizens, and even turned out his interview many years ago, saying that he disrespected women and looked down on Wing Chun.

From the perspective of the year, he was not wrong at all, but the people who ate melons didn't care about this, someone took the lead, they rushed forward and scolded him together.

If he hadn't spent a lot of money on emergency public relations, he wouldn't have been able to have a bad reputation and everyone would have shouted at him.

"Brother Xiu, there is something I want you to help with." Wu Jing said solemnly: "Part of our filming this time is planned to be on the South African side, and there are some problems with security. ”

Ding Xiu glanced at him with a cigarette in his mouth: "What's the matter, do you want me to escort you with a submachine gun?" ”

Wu smiled in surprise: "That's not true, I heard that your company's bodyguards are all veterans, can you lend me a few." ”

It's a bit chaotic in South Africa, even more chaotic than Hong Kong Island in the 90s.

In the 90s, filming on Hong Kong Island, while filming, there were old boys who came to collect the land fee, and if they didn't give money, they would make trouble.

South Africa is different, patting a possible grenade, and the bazooka will come.

Bring some professional soldiers, be a little more psychologically safe, and if you really encounter something, you can immediately go into battle with a submachine gun.

Otherwise, the prop masters and photographers in the crew, relying on them, don't know how to die.

Ding Xiu flicked the cigarette ash: "No problem, I'll help you ask tomorrow, and those who can leave the country will be arranged for you." ”

The security of the Qin Dynasty was arranged by Zhang Wei, and many of them were his retired comrades-in-arms.

I don't have to say that I have no skills, but I am not a little stronger than ordinary bodyguards on the market, and my organization and discipline are also very good.

Even Da Mimi, Huang Bo, and Zhao Liying said that it was easy to use, and since these people had them, there have been no problems with security.

Bodyguards can work completely in the country without any problems, but it is a bit difficult to leave the country.

Because Ding Xiu couldn't tell how many of them were from the special forces.

Some special units have confidentiality agreements, and the agreements have a time limit, and they must wait for the desecration period before they can leave the country.

The length of the declassification period depends on the specificities of the troops.

Some may be two or three years, some ten or eight years.

"Okay, wait for your news, the more people, the better." Wu took a heavy puff of cigarette, pestled the cigarette butt, and said calmly: "I pay them a monthly salary, and I will give them five times how much money is usually from you." ”

"If I am injured in an incident, I will reimburse the follow-up medical expenses, nutrition expenses, and lost work expenses."

Ding Xiu glanced at him lightly: "What about the people who are gone?" ”

Qin Dynasty Entertainment's bodyguard salary is more than 8,000 a month, which is still not low in the industry, with five insurances and one housing fund, and a year-end bonus.

usually travels with artists, and clothing, food, housing and transportation are reimbursed.

The task is not difficult, that is, to stop fans, protect the safety of artists when necessary, and solve the crisis, which is too easy for this group of soldiers.

Wu Jingkai's salary is more than 40,000 yuan, which is not a lot.

In a place like South Africa, the most fatal thing is to die, if the person is gone, what is the use of tens of thousands of dollars.

Wu Jing was silent for a few seconds and then said: "No one wants anything to happen, but we also have to plan for the worst, something really happens, one and a half million per person." ”

Ding Xiu checked the international standard pension in his heart, and 1.5 million yuan is already above the standard line, which is not low.

"Okay, I'll get the meaning across when I go back and recruit as many people as I can."

In the evening, Ding Xiu and Wu Jing chatted for a long time, with the shooting plan of Wolf Warrior 2, life, and ideals.

After drinking a little too much, Wu Jing didn't go back, but found a guest room to sleep in Ding Xiu's side.

The next day, when Ding Xiu woke up, Wu Jing had already left.

There are two more boxes of Moutai in the warehouse.

Scolding, Ding Xiu found someone to change the combination lock.

After breakfast, he went to Qin Dynasty Entertainment to find Lao Qin, and told him about Wolf Warrior 2, and Qin Gang immediately agreed to invest.

Then he called Zhang Wei from the Security Department over and said Wu Jing's appeal.

In the death pension, he added an extra 500,000 yuan, this money is out of the company, and the Qin Dynasty has investment in this play, which can be regarded as doing things for the company.

"That's a good thing." Zhang Wei's eyes lit up: "I'll go do statistics right away and give me half an hour." ”

More than 40,000 a month, there is reimbursement for the injured and disabled, and 2 million for the person who is gone, which is already the top match.

When the special forces came out, he knew that in fact, there may not be an accident in South Africa, and it is generally a big problem to deal with the local snakes.

This trip out is equivalent to picking up money for nothing.

Even if there is something, I am not afraid, among the company's bodyguards, who is not a rain of bullets, a team of ten people, if fully equipped, can fight dozens of miscellaneous soldiers in South Africa.

Occupy favorable terrain, ten people can defend the attack of 100 people.

If you can bring all the company's bodyguards over, you can lay down a small piece of territory.

In less than half an hour, Zhang Wei came back, and they were all willing to go.

More than 20 people rushed to sign up, and some asked how much money they would give for killing the enemy.

There were more than twenty people, the number exceeded Ding Xiu's expectations, and he didn't know if Wu Jing's side could accept so many.

"You wait first, I'll make a call." Ding Xiu was about to call Wu Jing to ask, and before asking, he said to Zhang Wei: "Can they pass the visa?" ”

"It's not a big problem, we used to film, not engage in military activities, and we also went through regular channels, which can withstand investigation."

"Is there a non-disclosure agreement when you leave the military?"

"Yes, but they have all passed the declassification period, so you can go abroad for a short time, and you just don't settle outside."

There is no problem here, Ding Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, and then called Wu Jing, and heard that there were more than 20 people who were also shocked for a few seconds, followed by ecstasy, and then took it all.

The filming locations of Wolf Warrior 2 are domestic and foreign, and South Africa will shoot for a month, with more than 20 people, each with a salary of more than 40,000 yuan, and it is less than 1 million a month.

For the crew with an investment of 1.5 billion, it is a drizzle.

When he got back there, he planned to get them some weapons to defend themselves, so that they could deal with things in the event of a problem.

Otherwise, it's just that there are more than 20 more people who have warmth, and they all have to be swept and lying down.

……

In December, Wu Jing's Wolf Warrior 2 project was launched, and the investment and casting process began, and as expected, many bosses were willing to vote for him.

But it's a pity that the cake is almost divided.

In terms of choosing a supporting role, Wu Jing found the male captain of one of the hottest top groups at the moment, but the other party didn't give face, didn't say anything about the money, and when he heard that he was going to South Africa, his head shook like a rattle.

Helpless, Wu Jing could only be replaced.

When the role is vacant, naturally a large number of people are willing to fill it, but Wu Jing doesn't want everyone, this male vase role is originally to be an artist with traffic.

chose a circle, and finally decided on Zhang Han.

Graduated from the Chinese opera class, and came together to watch the meteor shower debut in 09, in the past few years, he has played the male lead role, and his popularity is good.

The year before last, he won the Most Appealing Actor Award at the Asian Idol Festival.

Last year's Sui and Tang Romance won the Magnolia Award for the Most Popular Actor, and in the same year, he also collaborated with Zhao Liying on Shanshan and won the Asian Star Award at the 10th Seoul TV Drama Awards.

Around the same time, Ding Xiu left China by plane and headed for South Korea.

The crime city, which has been completed for more than half a year, is about to be released, and he has to go over to promote it with the crew.

The national conditions are different, and the films on the Korean side, as long as the plot content is the same as the script reported at the beginning, there are basically few situations that cannot be overlooked.

This drama has a large investment, the film and television company behind it is tough, and there is the shadow of a chaebol, so the release and scheduling of films are naturally not a problem.

As soon as Ding Xiu got off the plane, he saw that there were posters of crime city at the airport.

Not only airports, subways, bus stops, shopping malls, Internet sites, chat apps, etc., all have the promotion of crime urban movies.

This kind of propaganda has not happened in South Korea for many years.

On the poster, Ding Xiu is wearing a black windbreaker and standing in the C position, holding an axe in his hand, with his long hair tied up behind his head and a small blame, with a fierce and indifferent expression.

The crew's publicity to the outside world is that the male number one Ding Xiu, a popular top artist in Asia, a new generation of superstars, starring in movies with a box office of more than 500 billion won, has won many actor titles.

Ding Xiu was embarrassed to brag about this.

These multiple titles shocked netizens on the Korean side.

Especially the box office of more than 500 billion won sounds not ordinarily scary.

thought it was bragging, but some netizens who didn't believe in evil really searched for Ding Xiu's information, but they didn't expect that there was really a box office of more than 500 billion.

And this is all less publicity, only counting him as a starring role, not as a supporting role.

All of a sudden, Ding Xiu's reputation set off a wave in the Korean entertainment industry.

"I know this Oba, Li Zicheng in the new world, his movies have broken records."

"It's amazing, it's too strong."

"He seems to have worked with many artists in our country, Huang Zhengming, Ma Dongxi, Song Huiqiao, Jin Xifan, Song Jixiao, Park Shiyan."

"Uncle is so handsome."

"Real people are more handsome than in the movie, I watched his legend of Sword and Fairy when I was a child."

"Oh my God, it turns out that the Legend of Sword and Fairy was played by him, no wonder it's familiar."

"Hahaha, I didn't expect Brother Xiu to be popular in South Korea, I must support his movie another day, people are studying in a foreign land, it is rare to see fellow countrymen."

It's not the first time Ding Xiu has made a movie in South Korea, and the previous New World was released here.

Once born, second ripe, he was already famous, and he made two Korean movies in a row, and he also won the best actor at the Busan Film Festival.

So, in South Korea for half a month, Ding Xiu accepted dozens of interviews, appeared on several popular variety shows, and had millions more fans on his personal social accounts.

There are also a few endorsements on the Korean side.

There are many people who asked him to be resident in variety shows, make movies, and make TV series, but he refused.

He was in South Korea for three days before the film's release.

The box office is very fierce, constantly breaking local records, the first movie to break 5 billion in 24 hours, the first movie to break 10 billion in two days, and the first movie that was watched by more than 500,000 people on the day of its release......

The 10 billion won is actually more than 50 million at the domestic box office.

In Ding Xiu's eyes, it is pediatrics, and Guo Jingming's entire bad movie can do 50 or 60 million at the box office on the first day.

There are only more than 50 million people here in two days, and it is cold to say it, and those who don't know think he hit the street.

Ding Xiu's performance was calm, but the people in the crew were about to explode.

The horses had to roar every few minutes, and the director was like crazy, they had never made such a hot movie.

Ding Xiu didn't say anything on the surface, followed by a smile of congratulations, and secretly scolded a few words of dirt buns.

It's just that within a few days, he also turned into a dirt bun.

Ten days after its release, the box office of Crime City was more than 70 billion, half a month after its release, 100 billion, and 30 days after its release, more than 130 billion, breaking the record in Korean film history and topping the list.

More than 130 billion, more than 700 million at the domestic box office.

This data is also a high vote in China, and movies that break one billion at every turn are a minority after all.

Flowers bloom outside the wall and incense inside the wall, and Ding Xiu's wave has also caused a sensation in China.

Everyone is curious about what Crime City is about, but this movie has not been released in China, and they can't see it at all.

After a few people relied on pirated inflow to see it, they also saw a stumbling position.

"Brother Xiu, this drama is so fierce."

"From now on, I would like to call you the Harbin God of War."

"Explain to those who haven't seen it, this drama tells the story of a Northeast god of war sweeping the Korean underworld, people don't talk much, and it's over."

"It is said to be adapted from real events, which is very interesting, and I recommend you to take a look."

"When will it be released in China, I want to see it."

"The picture is too bloody, and the subject matter does not meet our film market conditions, it is estimated that it will not pass the trial, if you want to watch it, go back and watch the pirated version."

"Alas, it's a pity."
