Chapter 459: The Strongest Army on the Surface

"Private Custom", which started the same way as "Thai Embarrassment", hit the street in a way that no one expected.

The same screening has a good reputation, and the audience who has seen it says it's funny.

The same people say that movies are vulgar, saying that this kind of film is not good for the film industry, but will mislead investors and directors in the industry.

Even the box office on the first day was the same, exceeding 80 million, and even "Private Custom" had fewer films, and the attendance rate was a little higher.

But that's about it, since the third day of release, the two films have taken two very different paths.

"Thai Embarrassment" ignored all the scolding of the "three vulgarities", sang all the way, surpassed "Journey to the West", and once again pressed "Avatar" under him, second only to "I Am Not the God of Medicine" and "Truman's World".

And "Private Custom", although there are still a large number of viewers who say that the movie is particularly funny, the negative voice is not small at all, and it is still the two words "three vulgarities" mentioned before.

But the impact on "Private Custom" was too great, and the box office almost collapsed.

330 million in the first week, 210 million in the second week, and the third week relied on the New Year's Day holiday, although it picked up, but only won 100 million.

It was released for three weeks, with a total box office of 640 million.

In the five weeks since the release of "Thai Embarrassment", the total box office has reached 1.46 billion, and there is little hope of breaking through 1.5 billion.

After all, it is a plot-oriented movie, and it is not as moving as "I Am Not the God of Medicine", so no matter how funny it is, the pirated version comes out at this time, and the impact is still not small.

And the New Year's Day holiday has passed, in addition to "Private Custom", a new film "Police Story 2013" and two Hollywood blockbusters were also released at the end of December, and the pressure of competition is great.

However, even so, 1.46 billion is a figure that 99% of movies can't reach, which is enough to be called an annual hit.

One end and the other, two comedy films in 2013 drew a successful end to this year.

As for the new films that are being released, they are all tepid, and even if "Police Story 2013" uses the title of this series, the box office is mediocre.

In the past, Cheng Long's movies were all over the world, but this time they were only limited to a bar in the capital, which disappointed the audience.

And he didn't dare to compliment the play, so people called Cheng Long old, can he still fight?

The bar cage heads-up is the only formal action duel scene in the whole film, the Filipino boxer kicks over with a heavy leg, and Cheng Long's facial muscles are exaggeratedly deformed, which makes the audience's heart twitch coldly.

There are a lot of slow-motion close-ups in this section, watching the slow Cheng Long keep being hit, kicking down, falling on the table, smashing into the ice, stepping on barbed wire, plus the overall gray and depressing background tone, I suddenly realized that watching his movies now is more and more of a masochism.

In the previous "New Police Story", he was powerless in the face of the kidnappers and knelt down for Wu Yanzu. In "The Shinjuku Incident", he didn't know martial arts at all, he was chased and killed by the underworld and fled in all directions, and he couldn't form an army.

In this part, he was beaten to pieces, and he had to always maintain the blunt theme and tell the empty truth with a dignified face, which really makes people miss the high-spirited Cheng Jiaju and Asian Flying Eagle.

This is also a microcosm of domestic action movies, and what is interesting is Yu Rongguang, who was wearing a windbreaker and scarf and sunglasses in "Naked Dragon", calm, murderous and cunning, making a sharp whip leg, and arrogantly said to Li Lianjie: Your public press is only a few hundred yuan a month, what kind of life are you playing!

Although I don't agree with this, but that scene makes people's blood rush when they think about it, but here, he is incarnated as an impulsive and superficial SWAT captain, and he quarrels and apologizes with Cheng Long, which is really embarrassing.

Action movies and action actors are becoming less and less popular, and it's not much fun to just fight.

Li Lianjie is now half-human and half-god, opening his mouth and closing his mouth Taoist Buddhism.

Donnie Yen became more and more self-aggrandizing and hype, leaving the "Ip Man" series of bad movies.

Hong Jinbao became more and more bloated, unable to walk and talk, let alone fight.

Yuanhua and Yuan Biao can't see it anymore, because Chen Guokun, who has been in the hot pot for a while in the TV series "The Legend of Li Xiaolong", can only pretend to be Li Xiaolong on the look, and Xie Tingfeng can only pretend to be cool and handsome in his spare time.

Only Wu Jing, who singled out the first-class masters of various countries in "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", has embarked on a completely different path.

......

In Jinling Liuhe Pingshan Forest Park, tanks and armored vehicles have gathered here, artillery has been unloaded from tractors, and countless soldiers wearing camouflage have gathered here.

If it weren't for the cameras on the scene and hundreds of crew members dressed in ordinary clothes, I am afraid that others would have thought it was a war when they saw it.

The crew of "Wolf Warrior" was filmed here, a modern war movie, a war of iron and blood.

However, what is inconsistent with this slaughtering scene is that our male protagonist Wu Jing is sitting in a wheelchair at this time.

Li Qian was about to transfer to the Northeast to film, and he also saw the news of Wu Jing's injury, so he turned around and came to Jinling, and saw Wu Jing in a wheelchair from a distance, who was using his hands to compare postures with other actors, and wanted to move his legs when he was anxious, but he didn't listen to his own call.

"Brother Jing, don't move your legs, you won't be able to shoot this drama if you move it again. Li Qian approached and looked at his injured leg with some concern.

"What's wrong, is it serious?"

"Director Li is here. ”

Wu Jing turned his head in a wheelchair and spread his hands a little embarrassedly, "There's nothing wrong with it, it's just that I did a fork surgery." ”

"Fork?" Li Qian didn't know anything about the technical vocabulary.

"It's just that there's a little bit of a problem with the ligaments. Wu Jing explained concisely and asked, "Have you finished filming "Rejuvenation", why do you have time to come to me?"

"I'll go to the Northeast in two days, and I'll take a look by the way, the news will almost write that you are disabled, if not, I'll go to the hospital to recuperate for a while." Li Qian said.

Wu Jing's face was full of disapproval, "The news report is the same as seeing a doctor in Baidu, a cough can see lung cancer, according to the news, I simply amputated my leg." ”

He posted a photo of a trip to the hospital bed on Weibo, and took a picture of his injured leg by the way, and as a result, the imaginative media began to diverge their thinking.

Wu Jing was injured in a war scene, made a mistake in the explosion scene, mistakenly used live ammunition as an empty package at the shooting site, Wu Jing was disabled and had to sit in a wheelchair for a lifetime, Wu Jing couldn't shoot action scenes, "Wolf Warrior" is his swan song.

He didn't want to talk more about this injured leg, but asked curiously about Li Qian's film, "Go to the Northeast? Is it a scene to resist rice and aid Korea?"

"Yes, the Northeast Military Region and Changying Studio have already arranged everything, just wait for us to be in place, and it is not good to let the military keep waiting, just after filming that scene for many years. ”

Li Qian nodded, and said, "You still can't be sloppy with your legs, filming is small, if you appear at the wedding ceremony in a wheelchair in a few months, it is estimated that Sister Nan will have the heart to kill me." ”

In 12 years, Wu Jing and Guangxian's host Xie Yan fell in love, they have been together for two years, Xie Yan is also pregnant, and originally planned to get married this year, the wedding date is set, and the wedding will be held in May, just after the filming of "Wolf Warrior" was completed.

When it came to getting married, Wu Jing smiled stupidly, "It doesn't matter, anyway, Xie Yan doesn't dislike me." ”

After enjoying himself for a while, Wu Jing said with some regret, "It's a pity, I originally wanted to make a cameo, but now I can only make a cameo appearance for the wounded." ”

Originally, Wu Jing wanted to make a cameo appearance as a sniper in a few scenes in the scene of resisting rice and aiding Korea, and the prototype was Shangganling Sniper God, the sharpshooter Zhang Taofang who killed 214 enemy soldiers with 436 bullets in 32 days.

Wu Jing and Li Qian talked several times, but he was still filming himself, and it was very troublesome to direct and act himself, so Li Qian didn't let him make a cameo.

Later, he retreated to the next best thing and casually played a role with a bit of a scene, and now it seems that there is no other role to play except for the wounded.

However, it is impossible to transport him all the way to the Northeast to play a trick on the wounded.

Seeing that Wu Jing was so energetic, Li Qian was much more relieved, and after staying in Jinling for a few hours, he got on a plane to the northeast.

It's January 7th, 25 days before the Spring Festival, and the crew should have a holiday on the 29th of the New Year, that is, they must finish filming all the scenes of resisting rice and aiding Korea within 23 days.

The scenes don't add up to a lot, but the war scenes are a little troublesome after all, 23 days is a lot less, but it's not very abundant.

When he came to the Northeast, Li Qian first met with Changying Studio and the Military Region to express his gratitude.

The scenes of the two battles of Changjin Lake and Songgu Peak were completely designed with the help of the staff officers of the Military Region, and the Political Department of the Northeast Military Region and Changying Studio also made great efforts in the early stage of filming.

On the 7th, I arrived in the northeast, socialized and repaired, and immediately put myself into work on the morning of the 8th.

The scenes of resisting rice and aiding Korea are not complicated in terms of story, in fact, the story of the whole movie is simple, and all of them are fragmented plots, after all, the span is too long.

The scene here starts with the actor being in distress on a fishing boat and floating to the shore and being rescued by the volunteers.

At the beginning, because he knew how to bandage a wound a little bit, he bandaged a wounded soldier who was suddenly injured in the unit, and was kept by the company commander privately, and the story began here.

However, the filming is still based on the scene, and the first scene here is the third company, that is, the company where the protagonist is located, gathering in a village to repair and train.

Today's filming is a training scene, and the recruits shoot targets.

"Lao Duan, this military role is what you are good at, I won't say more, a company, marching overnight, fighting from six o'clock in the morning to more than twelve o'clock at noon, a full six hours to face such an elite ace unit like Mi Lijian in the second division, in the end, only six people were left uninjured, hundreds of people were sacrificed, and more than 600 enemies were killed, just by looking at the numbers, you can imagine what kind of unit this is, what kind of person will the company commander of such a heroic unit be!"

Li Qian said to Duan Yihong that he immediately thought of Duan Yihong for the role of company commander.

"Director Li, I understand!" Duan Yihong nodded heavily, he played a real hero in history, which made him even more stressed.

"Zhang Yi. Li Qian turned his head to look at Zhang Yi again, the sniper from Zhang Taofang asked him to play, Zhang Taofang was young when he joined the army, in his early twenties, and wanted an actor who was not good-looking and had a sense of youth.

Zhang Yi is quite suitable, compared to Wang Baoqiang who played the sniper god in "My Brother is Shunyo", Zhang Yi belongs to the normal version of Shunyo.

"I also took you to Tangshan to visit Old Man Lu, you know about Zhang Taofang's deeds and his previous stories in the army, no problem, right?"

"No problem, Director Li!"

Zhang Yi replied with a solemn face.

He carried a MI944-style Mosin-Nagan, an ordinary rifle that could no longer be ordinary, and in China, the volunteer soldiers of the year liked to call it "Shui Lianzhu".

When he was originally recruited by Li Qian to play a supporting role with few scenes, Zhang Yi thought it was just an inconsequential role that showed his face twice.

But when he followed Li Qian to Tangshan and visited the old man Lu Changqing, a sniper who resisted rice and aided Korea, this veteran always had one eye squinted, but the other eye was blazing, as if he was aiming with a gun.

At that time, the old man said that since he came down from the North Stick battlefield, he has maintained this expression, and it has not changed for a day, and for more than 50 years, the "sequelae of the war" has even changed his face.

The old man likes to shoot balloons the most when he catches the market, and every time he hits a hundred shots, after all, he is also a sniper who kills and injures up to 178 enemies on the North Stick battlefield.

What touched Zhang Yi the most was that when the Military Museum saw the "Water Lianzhu" of the same model as the one Zhang Taofang used on his back that year, Zhang Yi was stunned.

That gun was just an ordinary rifle, not even a scope, and with such a gun, in 32 days, 214 enemies were killed with 436 rounds.

During World War II, an average of 20,000 bullets were used to kill an enemy, and Mi Lijian used 250,000 rounds of ammunition to kill an enemy on the battlefield of Afu Khan.

Playing such a role, the pressure is no less than that of heroes such as Huang Jiguang and Qiu Shaoyun who are written into Chinese textbooks, even if there are not many scenes, Zhang Yi has also put in 200% of his energy.

"Okay, let's get started, I'm sure you can make the hero come alive in the movie and bring this character to life!"

Li Qian clapped his hands, and he didn't talk too much about the drama, the two of them are capable actors, they don't need too much guidance, shoot first and then watch.

All departments of the crew and actors were ready, and Li Qian also returned to the monitor.

"Boss, if it weren't for the preparation of this movie, I wouldn't have known these things. Su Lun sighed a little, "Before the change, someone told me that there were snipers in our army who had eliminated more than 200 enemies with more than 600 bullets in a month, and I definitely didn't believe it." ”

"It's not just you, it's me. Qi Yukun was also a little ashamed and said, "A company of more than 100 people, blocking the ace division of the Mi Army head-on, sacrificing more than 100 people and killing more than 600 enemies, such an exaggerated ratio, I even thought it was an anti-war drama." ”

Li Qian shook his head, "Otherwise, how did the Volunteer Army win the Northern Stick War back then, is it really like some fools said, using human lives?"

This battle is the epitome of the entire Northern Stick War, even if there is no air supremacy, weapons and equipment are backward, firepower is seriously insufficient, communication and transportation rely on people, and materials are scarce, and these hardware are all backward.

However, in terms of strategy and tactics, execution, and spirituality, we must be stronger, and the volunteer army that experienced the baptism of the Anti-Japanese War and the neighborhood war was definitely the strongest army on the surface at that time. ”

The strongest army on the surface, this is also the scene to be shown in the scene of resisting rice and aiding Korea.

In the movie, the volunteer army is no longer a weak person's posture, nor will it be as exaggerated as the drama, and there will not be too many scenes of soaring combat effectiveness, this will be a real strong army.
