Chapter 245 Funny Action Movie
On the afternoon of September 27, Beijing UME Huaxing Cinema.
As one of the best cinemas in Beijing, at the time of the National Day file, even if it is not yet time to get off work, Huaxing Cinema will have a lot of audiences.
In the hall outside Hall 2 today, there are a large number of fans waiting.
Although "Love of the Hawthorn Tree", "Rain of Swords", and even "Inception", which has been released for almost a month, are still being screened, these audiences are all here for another movie.
"PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" held its premiere in Huaxing Hall 2 this evening.
Even if it is only directed and acted by Wu Jing, there are no other big-name stars, but Li Qian's golden sign is enough to reassure the audience.
And although it is an action movie with a small audience, there are still many places that are more attractive in some of the posters and trailers released before.
"Looking at the previous trailer, it seems to be the story of a group of people who were thrown on a desert island to survive, and then they fought?"
"Almost, isn't there a trailer, Wu Jing was thrown off the plane, his hands and feet are still locked, he was kidnapped, right?"
"Wasn't it filmed in Shennongjia, why did it become a desert island again?"
"It is estimated that the plot on the island was filmed in Shennongjia, otherwise you think the bed scene will be really dry. ”
"It seems that all foreigners except Wu Jing are whites and blacks, and I don't know what the reason is. ”
"Watching the fight is quite intense, it feels very real, and I like this feeling of punching to the flesh!"
"Wu Jing has always been okay to play, the street fight in "Slaying the Wolf", the one-on-three in "The True Colors of a Man", I want him to quickly beat the three male protagonists to death, and his own "Wolf Teeth", the last person fights a hundred underworlds, it's so cool to watch, but it's a pity that they all die. ”
"Wu Jing can act, but the director... If it weren't for the production of this film by Li Qian, I guess I'd have to wait two days to see the comments. ”
"I don't have too many requirements, the plot doesn't matter, just play well. ”
......
Hundreds of waiting audiences in the hall gathered in twos and threes, many of them talking about the upcoming movie.
In addition to Li Qian, on the huge poster, Wu Jing and nine strong men with different skin tones are also attractive to the audience.
It is the first time that so many foreign actors have appeared in a domestic action movie, and all of them are on the main poster, which shows that the scenes are not small.
As time passed, more and more audiences came, and some of the actors who were invited to the premiere also arrived one after another.
At six o'clock in the afternoon, today's protagonist Wu Jing finally appeared, wearing a black suit, with a white shirt inside, the version is very ordinary, and he can be sprayed to death if he is placed in the fashion circle.
In the entertainment industry, there are a lot of people who don't pay attention to dressing, and for Wu Jing, wearing a suit is already very formal.
However, this ill-fitting suit was not noticed by the reporters and viewers who had been waiting for a long time at the scene, but was stopped by this group of people.
Wu Jing was followed by nine muscular men, especially several white and black actors, whose muscles seemed to be about to burst the clothes on their bodies.
At first glance, it seems that the underworld has come.
The group walked with great momentum, but Wu Jing, who was the leader, was up and down in his heart.
The first opponent of the National Day file, "Rain of Swords", had a mediocre box office, and I was relieved at the time, but I was getting more and more nervous when I saw that my movie would be fully released in a few hours.
Walking all the way from the red carpet, Wu Jing had a strained face, and the smiling face that was forcibly squeezed out was also a little ugly and funny.
There are no big stars, walking the red carpet is walking the red carpet, and it's over when you go forward.
Entering the screening hall, Wu Jingcai breathed a sigh of relief.
At half past six, the premiere ceremony officially began, as the largest investor of the film and the film producer, Li Qian also took the stage to express his trust in Wu Jing and talk about why he asked Wu Jing to make this movie.
Of course, there are many more.
"As for my expectations for the movie, I've seen the finished film before, so I have a lot of confidence in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", this is a movie that is different from all previous domestic action movies, and I also believe that everyone will like this movie, for the box office of the movie, I think it is not a problem to break 100 million, and 200 million is not impossible. ”
The same scene "Wolf Teeth" was also experienced once when it was released, although the scene was a little bigger this time, Wu Jing quickly adapted to it.
However, the box office of 200 million came out of Li Qian's mouth, and Wu Jing finally realized that when "People Are in Embarrassment" premiered during the Chinese New Year, Li Qian said 200 million, what happened to Xu Zheng's expression.
Li Qian stepped down after a casual few words, gave up the stage to Wu Jing, and faced all this alone.
"Wu Jing, do you think "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can reach a box office of 200 million?"
"This is only your second film, and the first film grossed less than 10 million, what makes you so confident?"
"At present, the box office record of domestic action movies "Ip Man 2" is only 240 million, do you think "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can create a new box office record for action movies?"
.....
Li Qian sat down on the stage, and the reporters could only aim their artillery at Wu Jing.
A niche action movie, it even said that 100 million is no problem, and 200 million is very likely, this cowhide is blowing up.
But they just like it.
Wu Jing was a little cautious, he smiled and said, "Of course I hope that the higher the box office, the better, this is also an affirmation for me, of course it is good to be able to reach 200 million, if you can't reach it, you will work hard next time." ”
"Then Wu Jing, do you mean that Director Li's 200 million just now is amplifying words?"
This caution makes reporters have bad intentions, and to be honest, many reporters are not optimistic about Wu Jing's self-directed and self-starred films, and few call him Director Wu, which is obvious.
Wu Jing is also a straight person, and he has a quick temper, so he simply doesn't keep a low profile.
"I am very confident in the movie I made, everyone will see different things in it, Director Li gave a box office expectation of 200 million after watching the finished film, and I am also confident that I can achieve this goal. ”
200 million, this is not the comedy "People in Embarrassment" released during the Spring Festival, this is an action movie.
The actors and filmmakers who participated in the premiere on the spot were just bragging, and they didn't brag when the movie was released.
This bull is not a big blow, but "Sword Rain" claims to win 500 million box office.
Originally, the media wouldn't have paid too much attention to this kind of thing, but it seems that Li Qian's boast of Haikou has not been slapped in the face, which makes the reporters a little excited.
Finally found a chance!
"People in Embarrassment" is a comedy, coupled with the festive atmosphere of the Spring Festival, for various reasons, it broke 200 million.
But what about PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds?
The reporters pressed step by step, and slowly the words that came out of Wu Jing's mouth were already bound to break 200 million.
is tough on the lips, but Wu Jing is still a little empty in his heart.
If it weren't for Li Qian, let alone 200 million, even if it was 100 million, he wouldn't dare to say it.
Now, it's really inflated.
After the premiere, the actors also stepped down.
Li Qian looked at Wu Jing next to him and was still a little nervous, and he didn't say anything, and after a hundred minutes, the audience's reaction would give an answer.
Judging from so many movies in his memory, Li Qian already understands what movies the audience will like with the development of the industry, unlike today's filmmakers, who can only see the past.
Many famous directors have no shortage of ability, and their professional ability is completely overwhelming Li Qian, but in terms of ideology and creativity, they are too backward and can't keep up with the changes in the audience's thinking.
Soon the cinema lights dimmed, the big screen lit up, and the movie began to show.
No matter what they think in their hearts, everyone cheers up and enjoys the movie at this time.
"Huh... Bang!"
"Da Da Da Da..."
"Boom... Rumble ......"
As soon as the scene opens, the big screen is full of artillery fire, all kinds of guns roar mercilessly, devouring the lives of the people one after another.
The deafening sound of explosions and gunshots from the top-of-the-line audio equipment caught everyone off guard.
"What's the situation?"
"What about a good action movie, how did it become a war movie?"
The vast majority of people have question marks on their minds.
The letters that appeared on the big screen told the audience that this was a small country in Africa, where mercenaries and rebels were fighting with the government.
The camera quickly cuts to a sturdy black mercenary who is unusually brave, taking out several enemies in a row.
As soon as the camera turned, the sound of artillery fire had stopped, and when he came to a camp, the mercenary who was resting in the dark suddenly opened his eyes, but then his eyes were dull, unconscious, he was put on a sack, and the big screen went black.
The battlefield at the beginning baffles everyone, but the awesome mercenary was obviously kidnapped by a sneak attack, which is the same as the kidnapping and dumping on the island in the trailer.
Immediately afterwards, an agent of MI6 who was waiting for an informant to come to contact him was also attacked and kidnapped by an unknown person.
In the palatial European-style villa, an international killer couple on a mission was also attacked and disappeared quietly.
Neon, a gangster thug, had just finished a fight, and the moment he turned around, he suddenly fell to the ground.
Late at night, on a small boat on the sea near the Xiangjiang River, which specializes in helping people smuggle over, was stopped by the marine police for inspection, and the boat boss asked a man from the country to go into the water to take shelter temporarily.
But as soon as he got out of the water, he was immediately kidnapped by a sneak attack.
In a small village in Huaguo, a young woman was waiting at the door of her house with her child in her arms, and the villagers passing by greeted her warmly, and the man who was a soldier was coming back.
In the forest, Wu Jing, a veteran special forces, strode back to his hometown.
Suddenly, Wu Jing suddenly rolled sideways, dodging the bullet that came from nowhere.
Whoa...
One bullet after another was fired, and it was also narrowly dodged.
However, the tranquilizer gun, which had a range of less than 50 meters, was too close, and was finally hit and instantly anesthetized.
The big screen was dark again, and then came to the air, where several helicopters were hovering in the air.
The footage of ten people being kidnapped before was only five or six seconds short for each person, and only half a minute long for a little longer.
The shots are tense and exciting, and only now do I have time to think.
"I'll go, awesome. ”
"Big deal, these people have killers, mercenaries, agents, and underworlds, it seems that there are exactly ten of them. ”
"Who kidnapped them, what are they doing here, isn't it just fun, I want to see so many people killing each other. ”
"It's a big production, it's an African battlefield and a European castle. ”
"The main messenger behind this scene is too good, isn't it?"
.......
In just over two minutes of the opening, all the audience has already whetted their appetites.
On the helicopter, the ten people who were kidnapped were all locked up with their hands and feet, and when one of the people on the walkie-talkie said that they were invited to play a game, the black mercenary kept yelling at the gun-wielding people on the plane.
The special forces of the Mi Lijian Marine Corps are like an angry lion.
But the agent and the killer are much calmer, constantly looking at everyone and the environment.
And the taekwondo master of Nanbang, after shouting a few words and finding that no one paid attention to him, began to provoke Wu Jing.
Wu Jing's regular clothes were stripped off, but the pants were still there, and he could see his identity at a glance.
The stick still dares to be so arrogant, and the audience is looking forward to Wu Jing being the first to kill him after he goes down.
However, when several helicopters split up and were about to scatter them all on the shoreline, something malfunctioned, and the taekwondo master was thrown down before he could reach the shore.
In mid-air, the stick fell rapidly, and the audience fell into the water before they could even see his frightened expression.
"Bang!"
There were still about ten meters from the shore, and there was a large splash on the surface of the sea, and a flock of seabirds was also frightened.
The camera came to the underwater, and the taekwondo master's kung fu was locked by handcuffs and leg cuffs, and there was no use under the water, and he fluttered for a while, and then slowly sank.
"I rub, hung one so early. ”
"The stick is a bit miserable, and the game is over before it even starts. ”
"Awesome, I still want Wu Jing to kill this stick first. ”
"How do you feel like laughing, it's obviously an action movie, and it's like a comedy. ”
"Haha, the position of the stick in the water reminds me of the Philippine National Diving Team, the splash is bigger, and the posture is more awesome, which is more funny than the classic posture of being expensive in the water. ”
"Taekwondo master, maybe an amateur is a member of the diving team. ”
"One kill is done, I guess the next one is a little devil?"
.......
The taekwondo master received a boxed lunch before the game started, which caught the audience a little off guard, and this way of death was something that no one could have imagined, and even a huge screening hall could occasionally hear a few small sounds.
An action movie that makes people laugh out loud.
When Li Qian watched it again, he still felt a little funny.
Although it's purely for fun, it's not deliberate, and the effect is pretty good.
Wu Jing, who had been holding his heart tightly, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the unbearable laughter of the audience behind him.
In the first few minutes of the film, the scene was quiet and did not get a response, but it made him a little panicked.
"Brother Jing is watching movies with peace of mind, this is just the beginning. ”
Li Qian smiled next to him, it was only a few minutes after the opening, and he wanted to think about the audience's reaction, and he was too anxious.
It's like knowing a girl for only one day, and you're struggling with whether others like you or not.
It's so fast, unless it's as handsome as me.
