Since the beginning of this year, [Wolf Warrior 2] has successively started the publicity work before the release of the movie.

On January 24, the film released a pilot trailer and poster; On May 10, a director's special was released; On June 2, an African version of the poster and an Africa special were released; On July 5, the opening version of the trailer and the full lineup poster were released; On July 18, the tank drift special and the poster of the "Burning the Motherland" version were released, and the finalization was officially announced at the same time.

If Wu Jing's previous shooting of [Wolf Warrior 1] was a poor boy who succeeded in counterattacking when no one was optimistic, then [Wolf Warrior 2] is like a noble son born with a golden spoon, and everyone knows that he is destined to reach the top.

First of all, this is the first time that Gu Wei and Wu Jing have collaborated on an action military blockbuster, the two are both well-known actors and excellent directors, and each has a blockbuster movie series, which has already been full of topics.

Secondly, in addition to the three main producers of the film [Wei Mingxia], [Dengfeng International], and [Spring and Autumn Times], there are also ten co-producers including China Film, Guangguang, Wanda, Huayi, Bona, Taopiaopiao, Sparkle Roll Media, Jinyi Pictures, Dadi Times, and Hengdian Pictures.

The online and offline publicity resources are full, and the cinema schedule can also be optimized.

In the end, there are no good films in the domestic film market now, and [Wolf Warrior 2] has almost no decent competitors, as long as it is released, it can unscrupulously seize the box office.

Since entering July, various promotions of [Wolf Warrior 2] have continued.

The investment of 80 million publicity funds, the help of various producers, and many online and offline advertisements have made [Wolf Warrior 2] ubiquitous.

The audience, who has not had any good movies to watch since the beginning of the summer season, is also very much looking forward to this rare domestic two-man military film.

Sunday, July 23rd.

The outside of the Beijing Wanda International Cinema was full of people.

"Look, it's Yu Sign and Guo Degang!"

"That's Liu Yan, it's a good figure!"

"Liu Xing, Liu Xing is also here."

"What Liu Xing, that's Zhang Yishan!"

"Gulnazaye, she's so beautiful without makeup, she's so beautiful!"

"Who's this guy in the hat, it looks a little strange?"

"It's Zhang Ruoyun, who went to [Hua Shao] with Gu Wei!"

"Is that Wang tearing onions?"

"Where? I'll go, it's really the king tearing the onions, and the national husband is also here."

“.”

Today is the premiere of [Wolf Warrior 2], and the ceremony has not yet begun, some celebrities in the circle have arrived one after another, and the venue is full of stars.

"Master, there are so many stars here today!" A young reporter from the Nandu Entertainment Newspaper stood on the side of the stage with a device, and he casually scanned the interior of the arena to see many familiar faces.

"They are all friends of Gu Wei and Wu Jing, and there should be some stars under the producer.

I'll go, Liu Yifei is also here, quick shot, fast shot! The older reporter next to him was adjusting the camera in his hand, casually answering the apprentice's questions.

At a glance, he suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure, and hurriedly motioned for the apprentice to take a picture.

"What have you been busy with lately?" Gu Wei, as the main creator of the movie, came to the scene very early, and friends came over one after another, and he received them one by one.

"Filming, I've just finished filming, if you look for me two days later, you may not be in the capital, and you will go to the next crew" Zhang Ruoyun is wearing a very simple dress today, white short sleeves, dark jeans, small eyes when he smiles, and he has the temperament of a sunny boy.

"TV series?"

"Yes, I was filming before we recorded [Hua Shao], and I have been doing it for a year one after another, and this month it was finally completed." It can be heard from the tone that Zhang Ruoyun is also relieved to end the filming of this drama.

"What drama, filmed for so long?" Gu Wei was a little curious.

At present, most of the film and television dramas in the circle, not counting the time for preliminary preparation, from start-up to completion, one or two months fast, half a year slow, and very few can really be filmed for a year.

It's not that you don't want to be meticulous, the crew costs money, as long as the film is turned on, the daily expenses disappear like running water.

Gu Wei's original filming of [Langya Bang] can be regarded as a big production in the TV series, and the [Noon Sunshine] team is also absolutely attentive, and it only took less than 4 months from start-up to completion.

"It's a costume historical drama called [The Legend of Huo Qu's Disease]." Zhang Ruoyun hesitated after speaking, and frowned slightly. "It was directed by my father."

"Are you playing Huo Quai? That's pretty good. Gu Wei hadn't heard of this drama at all, but he could see that Zhang Ruoyun didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask again.

Zhang Ruoyun is a second-generation star, and his father Zhang Jian is a well-known director and producer.

In the early years, the producer, screenwriter, and producer of "Snow Leopard", which made Wenzhang famous, was Zhang Jian.

Later, he produced the spy war drama "Black Fox", which is known as "[Snow Leopard] Sister Chapter", and served as the screenwriter and director, and the starring role of [Black Fox] is the fledgling Zhang Ruoyun.

Although Zhang Ruoyun entered the entertainment industry, his father Zhang Jian gave him a lot of help.

But the relationship between father and son has always been relatively cold.

Zhang Ruoyun's parents divorced when he was very young, his mother went abroad, and he grew up in the capital of his grandmother's house.

's father Zhang Jian later remarried, and his wife was the well-known actor Liu Bei.

So since he was a child, he grew up in an environment that lacked father's love and mother's love, and naturally he was not particularly close to his father.

Gu Wei chatted with Zhang Ruoyun for a while, and suddenly heard a commotion at the door.

"Ruoyun, you can do it yourself, I'll go and receive the others" Gu Wei said to Zhang Ruoyun and walked over.

"Sister Yifei~"

Liu Yifei wore a light blue tunic dress today, stepped on a pair of high-heeled sandals, and was slender and elegant.

"Didn't expect you to come today?"

"I happened to be in the capital for the past two days, and I wanted to find you out for dinner, but seeing that you are so busy, I won't have time, so I will come here to give you a show." Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a smile on his face.

"I'm going to follow the [Time and Space Cohabitation] scene, it's an interesting story, and we'll be working together again when the time comes."

"Indeed, I also took it after reading the script and the story is good, but I didn't expect to give the two of us a chance to work together again."

"What, isn't it good to work with me?" Liu Yifei pursed her lips and pretended to be angry.

"Of course, it's the third time I've cooperated with you, and this time I can finally have a relationship line that I want to like each other." Gu Wei pretended to be helpless and said.

The "Shen Lian" played by Gu Wei, the first time the two collaborated, was a one-sided effort, and to put it mildly, it was licking the dog.

The second cooperation of [Tang Detective 2] The two people have no emotional line at all.

This time's [Chrono Cohabitation] is finally a relatively normal relationship.

The two chatted a few more words, Liu Yifei glanced around, and found that there were many stars she was also very familiar with.

"It's still your big face, and the premiere of the movie can have so many stars present to support it."

"Many of them are artists under the producer, and they came to show their faces to show their support, which has little to do with me."

"The box office of the first part of [Wolf Warrior] is more than 500 million, and this time the second part has your joining, so there should be no problem with doubling it."

Liu Yifei has starred in the films she has starred in over the years, except for [Tang Detective 2], there is no box office of more than 500 million, in her impression, movies with a box office of more than 1 billion are absolute hits.

Gu Wei smiled lightly.

"Maybe many people are Yifei you have this idea, but you might as well be bold, my expectations for this movie are particularly high!"

"1.5 billion? 2 billion? Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei's face and tentatively reported the numbers.

"You don't think this one can be a big hit like [Tang Detective 2], it's unlikely that a domestic military film will be made.

The previous box office record seems to be the first part of [Wolf Warrior]."

"If the first part set a record, why can't the second one.

At present, there is this soil in the domestic film market, and I have confidence in the film, and I am even more confident in myself! ”

Gu Wei's confident appearance made Liu Yifei can't help but look sideways.

"I'll think he's bragging, but your words might come true."

Liu Yifei and Gu Wei knew each other very early, and the first play in the entertainment industry was to cooperate with her.

So she watched Gu Wei step by step to today's position throughout the whole process, and in the unbelievable eyes of everyone, she achieved one amazing result after another.

Therefore, Gu Wei is so confident, maybe he can really do it

The chat between the two attracted the attention of many people, and Naza, who arrived early, looked at Liu Yifei and Gu Weire chatting with her eyebrows and frowned slightly.

"Sister Yifei"

Naza was already smiling as she approached, and she couldn't tell how unhappy she had just been.

She and Liu Yifei are old acquaintances, and after filming [Tang Detective 2], they went to Gu Wei's charity fund together, and the relationship between the two can be called best friends.

However, the girlfriends in the entertainment industry know everything, Reba and Nazha are not only girlfriends but also fellow countrymen.

"Why don't you tell me when you come, I knew we would come together."

"I also came back from the United States two days ago, and I happened to be in the capital to join in the fun."

"I'm busy with work and don't have time to get together, so let's have a meal together after the premiere in a while, right?

Gu Wei, you're with you." Naza warmly invited.

Liu Yifei turned his head to look at Gu Wei.

"You guys, I have a lot of work here, if I can finish my work, I'll look for you again"

The crowd was almost here, all the guests and audience were seated, and the premiere ceremony officially began.

The host is the host of the light, Xie Nan, one of the "Three Treasures of Light", and her more important identity is the director's daughter-in-law.

The main creative team walked to the front of the stage under the leadership of director Wu Jing.

As early as when [Wolf Warrior 1] was released, I said why I wanted to make a movie in the [Wolf Warrior] series

Many years ago, I watched some Hollywood blockbusters, such as [First Blood], [007], [Mission Impossible] and the like, where the Americans are very good, and the British are also very good, they can fight against a hundred, they can do everything in heaven and earth, and it is up to them to save the world.

I thought, they can, why can't the Chinese.

This is also my original intention as a director, I want to make a story about the Chinese are very powerful

[Wolf Teeth] was also filmed because of my simple idea.

It's a pity that the results of [Wolf Teeth] are not ideal, and when I want to shoot [Wolf Warrior] again, no one dares to invest money in me.

At that time, I was really exhausted, and no one asked me to film, and I had no money to save my own money."

Saying that, Wu Jing glanced at Gu Wei beside him.

"Fortunately, I had two good brothers to help at that time, and with their unsparing support, I filmed [Wolf Warrior 1].

has won the love of the audience, and the results of [Wolf Warrior 1] are not bad, so there is now this [Wolf Warrior 2].

In the second part, with the addition of Gu Wei, we also adopted the classic Hollywood two-hero setting, and achieved the ultimate in story structure and action scenes.

The specific effect will definitely not disappoint everyone!

Of course, after reading the first step [Wolf Warrior], everyone may already know that we Chinese can also be very good.

In [Wolf Warrior 2], I want to tell you that the Chinese are very good not because of how great they are, but because we have a strong motherland behind us! ”

Wu Jing said a lot, as a director, from writing the script, crew preparation, film shooting to post-production, it can be said that [Wolf Warrior 2] has been immersed in his endless efforts.

Now that the carefully crafted works are finally about to face the test of the audience and the results are about to be released, he naturally has a lot of emotion.

"It's really not easy to shoot the second part of [Wolf Warrior].

You may not know that almost all of our scenes are live-action shooting, and a 20-ton tank model and a ten-meter-long airplane model were used on the set alone, and hundreds of vehicles were blown up, and 1,700 people were present in the most scenes

In order to restore the truth, the director required the explosion scenes of planes, tanks, and off-road vehicles to be as realistic as possible, and when filming an explosion scene, the director's ears were blown up to the point that he was temporarily deaf."

Wu Jing said what he wanted to express in his movie, and Gu Wei sold it miserably, these are the selling points of publicity.

Chen Zihe is a professional film critic and a Weibo V, and he was invited to attend the premiere of [Wolf Warrior 2] today.

Before he came, he had already received a red envelope from the crew, and as a film critic with professional ethics, he decided that as long as the movie was not too bad, he would send a touting article with a word count of more than 800 words when he went back.

[Wolf Warrior 1] He has also seen it, and to be honest, Chen Zihe thinks the first part was filmed well.

Horizontal comparison is already a rare boutique in domestic military films.

However, the series of movies is generally not as good as one another, but I don't know if Wu Jing's [Wolf Warrior 2] can maintain the level of the first one.

As long as the storyline and fight scenes are not downgraded, with Gu Wei's joining, it should be easy for [Wolf Warrior 2] to break one billion at the box office.

In fact, before the release of the original space-time [Wolf Warrior 2], it had already signed a guaranteed contract of 800 million with the distributor [Beijing Culture].

Even without Gu Wei, this movie is favored by the industry to sprint to the box office of one billion.

Now that Gu Wei, the actor with the most box office appeal in domestic entertainment, has joined, co-producers such as Guangguang, Bona, and Wanda, I feel that it is no problem for the box office of [Wolf Warrior 2] to exceed 1.5 billion.

The lights in the theater dimmed, and the movie officially began.

[Wolf Warrior 2] continues the story of the first part, at the beginning, "Leng Feng" played by Wu Jing shot to kill the village tyrant who was forcibly demolished for the sake of the family members who had sacrificed their comrades.

Because of the violation of discipline, he had to take off his military uniform and come to Africa alone to develop.

As soon as the camera turned, in a modern factory, all kinds of workers were busy working, their skin was black and yellow, and the place was obviously not in China.

Then Gu Wei appeared in a camouflage uniform, obviously in the factory, but he swaggered past with an AK-47 rifle, and the workers next to him were not surprised at all.

Through Gu Wei's dialogue with the factory employees, everyone knows that this factory is in war-torn Africa, and the workers include domestic workers and locals.

And Gu Wei is the owner of this factory.

To be precise, his father is the owner of the factory, and he is the "rich second generation" who was lined up to manage the factory.

Due to the frequent wars in the local area, the factory has its own security team, and everyone is armed with guns and ammunition, equipped with real guys.

Gu Wei, a rich second generation, is an avid military enthusiast, and because it is inconvenient to fiddle with these weapons and ammunition in China, he applied with his family to manage a factory in Africa, and by the way, he can experience the feeling of real guns and ammunition.

"This setting is very interesting" Chen Zihe watched the two male protagonists appear separately at the beginning of the movie, and thought about what was recorded in the small notebook in his hand.

He is a professional film critic, and even if he praises him, he has to say something.

Subsequently, the plot gradually unfolded, Wu Jing took his godson to see his mother because his godson "Xiao Hei" mother worked in Gu Wei's factory.

He met Gu Wei fatally, and Wu Jing's cold temperament made Gu Wei extremely interested.

At this time, Gu Wei was still a rich boy who didn't know the height of the sky, and after several provocations, he asked for a competition, and then was easily crushed by Wu Jing in terms of fighting and shooting.

So Gu Wei's attitude towards Wu Jing changed 180 degrees, and he began to stalk him, insisting on apprenticeship, hoping that Wu Jing could teach him martial arts, shooting, and other military tactical skills.

Wu Jing was moved by Gu Wei's sincerity and began to teach him all the skills that a real special forces soldier would have.

Since then, the two have become a relationship between master and apprentice.

After a period of practice, Gu Wei's abilities improved rapidly, and he was also recognized by his master Wu Jing.

Wu Jing felt that he was a natural special soldier, and promised him that after returning to China, he would recommend Gu Wei to his former leaders to join the army.

"Why does this plot look so familiar, it's a bit [Zorro]." Chen Zihe touched his chin and thought.

At this time, the audience in the theater was attracted by the plot of the movie, and Gu Wei's growth line was still very interesting to watch, and there was a sense of harvest from playing games and upgrading.

Later is the beginning of the original [Wolf Warrior 2], where Wu Jing works in the area where there is a war, and he protects some of the ships that have been evacuated to the country.

From here on, the movie is a shootout all the way, Gu Wei rescues Dr. Chen and his assistant "Rachel" in the hospital due to an accident, and Wu Jing rushes all the way back to his apprentice's factory.

In the factory, the two lead the workers to start a big battle with the villain mercenaries.

After some fighting, the two finally defeated the villain "Daddy" and his men with the help of warships.

Under the fluttering of the five-star red flag, the government army and the rebel army rose to the fire one after another, and the evacuation of overseas Chinese was successful!

[Wolf Warrior 2] has a total of 120 minutes, 6 battles, Gu Wei and Wu Jing fought from the sky to the sea, cars, tanks, airplanes, and all kinds of weapons were on the field, and the fighting was even more fist-to-flesh, and the audience watching it was extremely exciting!

At the end of the film, the sentence "No matter what danger you encounter overseas, please remember that you have a strong motherland behind you!" The emotions of the audience were ignited.

At this time, everyone's blood was boiling at the same time, and there was an extremely strong sense of pride!

"It's a bit ashamed to collect this money, this movie is really good, I didn't expect that domestic war movies can make so many big scenes, it's really burning." At the end of the movie, Chen Zihe's heart was agitated, but his face remained unchanged, and he muttered.

"Wow, this movie is so exciting, I said that Gu Wei must be okay, isn't it, Sister Yifei" Nazha applauded with the audience after watching the movie, happy for Gu Wei.

"Indeed, this movie is not inferior to some Hollywood action movies to some extent, and it is stronger than them in terms of concept, Wu Jing is very powerful." Liu Yifei analyzed carefully.
