In mid-September, the Wandering Wrecking Ball was finally launched.

As Wu Hu said before, if this movie is not filmed again, it will be past the adaptation period. Although the adaptation period has passed, Da Liu will most likely still choose to cooperate with them New World Media, because New World Media is the most conscientious film and television company in the industry.

But to re-sign the adaptation right, it is necessary to pay the copyright fee again, even if the copyright fee is nothing to Wu Hu, there is no need to waste it.

After thinking about it, Wu Hu still decided to shoot in the order of another time and space, first shooting the 'postque' and then the 'prequel'. The main reason for choosing this is because the story of the 'sequel' is relatively 'simple', and the narrative revolves around the small wrecking ball hitting Jupiter.

In the second part filmed later, that is, the 'prequel', the presence of the protagonist Liu Peiqiang is a little weaker than the first part, but the role of Tu Hengyu played by Liu Tianwang is more present. It can be said that several of the main characters in the second part are portrayed quite well, but because of this, the protagonist Liu Peiqiang is not so prominent.

Director Guo also added a lot of human nature discussions when filming the second part, if the second part of the 'prequel' was filmed first, then the script when filming the 'sequel' would obviously be a little weak in this regard, and it would give people a feeling that it was not as good as the first part.

In this way, when filming the 'sequel' again, the script will definitely have to be revised.

In Wu Hu's view, this is not only a troublesome problem, but also the possibility of changing an originally good movie beyond recognition and ultimately thankless.

Therefore, Wu Hu chose the most trouble-free way to shoot according to the trajectory of two movies in another time and space, after all, this is a successful road that has already been taken.

If you mess up the movie because of your own random command, who will cry to?

Of course, even if he really loses money, at most he will smash his signboard, after all, this special effects blockbuster has no less investors than "Inception".

Even if "Inception" has not yet been released, those film and television companies are still eager for it, and even the eldest brother Cheng is asking if there is a chance for cooperation, he wants to match the gold lord behind him, the Eagle Emperor, to see if there is a chance to cooperate.

So even if the investment is lost, he won't worry too much, even if the investment in this small wrecking ball is not small. Compared with the eleven small goals of "Inception", the investment of this wandering little wrecking ball even has one more goal.

This is not that Wu Hu came out of his mouth, but he really calculated.

In another time and space, when Director Guo was filming this movie, the original more than 4,000 special effects shots were finally reduced to more than 2,000, almost cut in half.

But even so, it took them five small goals.

Wu Hu is not so economical here, because he is not short of investment, and he also has the backing of the international market, so he intends to keep improving, but the investment is enough.

At present, the investment is set with twelve small goals, and whether to add them in the future will be discussed after the special effects are completed. In addition to the cost of special effects shots, the other major expenditure is the salary of Wu Hu and other actors, and Wolf Warrior Jing was pulled by him as a supporting role again.

His own salary is as high as twenty or thirty million, and Wolf Warrior Jing's salary has also risen, and Wu Hu gave him seven million dollars, which is already among the top ranks in China. The role of Wang Lei, who was supposed to belong to Li Guangjie, was left by Wu Hu to Wolf Warrior Jing.

Poor Wolf Warrior Jing didn't know that in another time and space, this movie was originally one of his masterpieces, but now it was taken by Wu Hu.

In fact, in another time and space, the role of Liu Peiqiang was originally a supporting role, but he was later played by the wolf Jing Shengsheng as the protagonist.

Of course, what's even more pitiful is the protagonist 'Da Xiao' in another time and space, he was originally the protagonist, but he was robbed of the scene by Wolf Warrior Jing, and he looked like a supporting role.

And now, his role was given to the young Wu Sanshi by Wu Hu, who looked immature, so tender that Wu Hu was a little worried about whether he could handle this role.

Of course, now Wu Hu directly sets Liu Peiqiang as the leading actor, although Wu Sanshi's role will not be less than Zhao Maizi's, but they will definitely not be able to steal his limelight.

However, Wolf Warrior Jing is quite happy, although it is not enough to see compared to Wu Hu's salary of 20 or 30 million dollars, but after all, he has no international box office appeal, and with this salary, he feels that he has taken a little too much, and it is obvious that Wu Hu is taking care of his face.

Inception gave him five million dollars before, and now that the movie has not been released, he has added two million dollars, which is a face-saving experience, and Wolf Warrior Kyoto feels a little embarrassed.

But Wu Hu didn't mind at all, after all, these investments were not made by their New World Media, and they accounted for less than four small goals.

And compared with this movie in another time and space, now with Wolf Warrior Jing and his joining, he is also ready to add more international faces to the movie, so that the whole movie looks less flowery. Anyway, he has a lot of bald eagle actor friends, and looking for them to make a cameo appearance, this is not a big problem at all.

At that time, the Siamese macho, the Mediterranean macho, Thor and others will be called to play tricks, which can also add a sense of anticipation to the audience.

Just like when he asked Big Viagra to play tricks with Zhao Niefeng.

In this way, the box office of this movie will definitely be much more than that of the original time and space, at least the overseas box office will be much more.

The overseas box office of the first part of the wandering little wrecking ball has nearly 70 million dollars, but Wu Hu believes that with his participation, this box office can be at least two or three times larger, plus the box office on the side of the flower planter, and the final global box office has 60 small goals, there should be no problem.

Of course, this is a conservative estimate.

The filming location of this movie is in the Oriental Film Metropolis, this newly built film capital, which has several studios, and the props and sets needed for the wandering little wrecking ball have been prepared when they decided to shoot last year, and now they are fully prepared.

It's just that I didn't expect that on the day of the start-up, someone asked him what he thought about the collapse of the house set up by Lao Xue, what could he think? I'm not very familiar with Lao Xue, okay!

In the face of Wu Hu's ruthless complaints, those entertainers had no choice but to stop bothering Wu Hu about Lao Xue, after all, there was really not much intersection between Wu Hu and Lao Xue.

So Yu Ji changed the topic and asked: "Fat Tiger, as we all know, there is no science fiction category in the flower planting movie, basically whoever touches science fiction will die, why do you want to make such a science fiction film?" The investment is still so big, aren't you afraid of losing money? ”

Wu Hu smiled: "Who said that there are no science fiction movies in the flower planter?" The "Inception" we filmed before is a science fiction film, although it is a little different from the current hard science fiction, but it also belongs to the science fiction category. And, even if not, then why can't we be the first? The times are developing, and the flower planting movie can't rest on its laurels! ”

After a pause, he pointed to Da Liu, who was found by them to participate in the start-up press conference, "What's more, this movie is based on Da Liu's adaptation, do you still doubt Da Liu's strength in this regard?" ”

Then the attention of the entertainment reporters was transferred to Da Liu by Wu Hu, and Da Liu couldn't help but complain silently, he actually didn't like this kind of occasion very much, but Wu Hu's face had to be given.

After answering the questions of the two entertainment reporters, he deliberately threw the topic back to Wu Hu, "I have nothing to say about the casting, I am basically very satisfied, as for the considerations, you can ask the doorman and Mr. Wu." ”

"Door director, the investment in this movie is bigger than "Inception", aren't you afraid of losing money in the end? You know, "Inception" still has some Hollywood actors, but now you don't seem to have any Hollywood actors involved in this movie! ”

When Menqing heard this, he laughed confidently and asked him why he dared to be so confident, naturally it was given by Wu Hu! Whether it is "The Mermaid", "Living Together in Time and Space", or "Operation Mekong", it all proves that even without the participation of Hollywood actors, Fat Tiger still has a strong overseas box office appeal. What's more, the story told by this "The Wandering Earth" is still the story of the future earth, and I believe it is not difficult for overseas audiences to accept it. ”

"Sissi, this is the first time you've worked with Fat Tiger? What role do you play in the play? Or do you play the hero and heroine with Fat Tiger? ”

Although Yahuazi is only a cameo role in this play, Wu Hu still called her to attend the start-up press conference.

Yahuazi smiled: "I don't know how many times I've worked with Fat Tiger, but in this play, I'm actually just a trick, which is a cameo nature, playing the wife of the protagonist Liu Peiqiang, and the role played by Sanshi is the son of my character." ”

Then the entertainment reporters aimed the topic at Wu Sanshi, who looked immature, "Sanshi, what do you think about Qianqian becoming your mother?" ”

"Huh?"

Wu Sanshi's eyes widened, and his face was confused, which made everyone laugh.

He and Yahuazi worked together when they were in "Langya Bang", and the two were no strangers, but he didn't think about Yahuazi becoming his mother, because Yahuazi's role was a cameo, and between her son Liu Qi, and Liu Qi as an adult, there was no rivalry, so Wu Sanshi didn't think about it at all.

Now when I was asked, I suddenly felt a little confused, Liu Qianqian became my mother?

Wu Hu played his father, he already knew about it, but now that his mind turned, he couldn't help but smirk, "I really didn't think about this before, but Sister Sissi is too young, playing my mother, it's not like it at all!" Fortunately, there is no rivalry between us, otherwise I guess there will be a play, after all, I have always thought that Sister Sissi is sister......"

After that, the entertainment reporters asked about Uncle Da again, who was Uncle Da, the golden supporting actor of Xiangjiang who played the role of Grandpa Han in the original film.

At this time, Uncle Da has not yet been diagnosed with liver cancer, and it is not easy to detect lesions such as liver cancer in routine physical examinations, not to mention that Uncle Da also has diabetes.

Wu Hu asked him to play this role again, and he also thought about using healing holy water to quietly cure him, after all, when he was young, he watched the movie he cooperated with Xing Ye, and he still liked this gold medal supporting role. However, there is a certain probability of failure in the healing holy water, and Wu Hu doesn't know if Uncle Da has this life.

As for why he quietly helped him with treatment, and didn't let him owe himself a great favor after he knew about his condition, it was naturally to protect his secret.

Wu Hu didn't want more people to know about the efficacy of the healing holy water.

But let him stand by knowing that this predecessor he once liked a lot had a terminal illness and did not do it, after all, 50 million popularity value may save people's lives.

And 50 million available popularity value is enough for him to hold a concert today, and it can even be said to be very cheap when measured by human life.

"Uncle Da, can you tell us how you came to be involved in this movie? As we all know, Fat Tiger is the richest man in flowers, and he is not bad for money. ”

Uncle Da laughed, and before he could answer, Wu Hu said: "Here I have to clarify with you that the reason why I invited Uncle Da is because I grew up watching Uncle Da and Xing Ye's movies, and Uncle Da is just right for this role." In addition, when I invited Uncle Da to participate in this play, Uncle Da agreed without even asking how much the salary was, so don't think of people as too philistine. ”

Uncle Da said with a smile: "The reason why I agreed without asking for salary is actually because I know that Fat Tiger is the richest man, so I don't have to worry that he will treat me badly!" ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing, and even Wu Hu couldn't help laughing.

Sure enough, when many people get older, they will become open-minded, and they don't shy away from making fun of themselves about this kind of thing that involves the smell of copper.

After a pause, Uncle Da said again: "Actually, I talked to Xing Ye about Fat Tiger, and Xing Ye admires Fat Tiger's acting skills very much, so I also want to cooperate with him once." I didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly, so I naturally agreed as soon as possible. ”

"Uncle Da, what kind of role are you playing in the play?"

"The role I play is the father-in-law of the protagonist Liu Peiqiang, Liu Qi's grandfather, and Han Duoduo's adoptive father...... Or a driver with many years of driving experience. ”

Then, the topic naturally shifted to Zhao Maizi, who played Han Duoduo.

Zhao Maizi is only fifteen years old this year, with a short haircut, she looks like a tomboy, and when she stares at her big eyes, she is handsome and sassy.

However, she was born as a child star, and like Wu Sanshi, she already has some experience in dealing with entertainment, and she is not stage frightened.

Speaking of which, after the release of the little wrecking ball, the role played by Zhao Maizi was scolded very miserably by the rhythm, and she was scolded as a second middle school girl.

Because many things happened after they walked out of the ground, if she hadn't begged her brother Liu Qi to take her to the surface, they wouldn't have been involved in the rest of the matter, and Grandpa Han, who adopted her, wouldn't have died.

But in fact, because of the length of time, the role of Han Duoduo was deleted a lot by Director Guo, which made the character of Han Duoduo look very unpleasant.

For this reason, Wu Hu plans to streamline those plots, even if it is simply introduced in the form of flashbacks, don't directly delete those scenes, it doesn't matter if the time is long.
