Chapter 628: The Competition Between Two Movies

Tianjing Entertainment.

Wu Hong, the director of "Arms 1", was a little dumbfounded when he saw the news that "Wolf Warrior 2" was about to start filming.

Because of the popularity of "Arms 1", many follow-up works have appeared in the recent film circle, popping up like mushrooms after rain.

Wow, Tan Yue is really good at playing. "Wolf Warrior 1" didn't appear, and he directly made a "Wolf Warrior 2", not to mention that it was Tan Yue's first film work. Wu Hong felt that this popularity was really too much.

Wu Hong couldn't help but frowned and sneered, thinking in his heart that it seemed that he still looked up to Tan Yue a little bit, and young people still couldn't escape the word traffic.

Knowing that Tan Yue was going to cross over from the TV drama circle to the movie circle, Wu Hong was really looking forward to what type of subject matter Tan Yue's first movie would be.

In his heart, Wu Hong always felt that Tan Yue was a very individual person. The subject matter of each of the four TV dramas he shot was different, and each one was very popular. There were very few people in the director circle who could achieve such results.

Such a talented junior will definitely not follow the market's heat.

But today, when he saw the news online, he was still a little disappointed.

In Wu Hong's opinion, Tan Yue's transformation this time has failed.

If you want to become a first-class film director in China, it is important that whatever you shoot is popular. It can be a hit or literary, but it is definitely not that you shoot whatever theme is popular. Following the trend is doomed to fail.

Wu Hong turned off the news online and stopped paying attention to "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Arms 1" has a total box office of 2.5 billion yuan, and "Arms 2" was quickly put on the agenda. Recently, preparations for the film project are being made.

When filming "Arms 1", because it was a relatively unpopular film theme, the senior management of Tianjing Entertainment Company did not dare to invest too much money, and also found several other small companies to share the risk at the same time, and the funds were still a bit embarrassing.

In Wu Hong's opinion, the quality of "Arms 1" barely passed.

Now it is different. With the popularity of the first part, "Arms 2" not only has the strong support of the company, but also many companies are scrambling to invest money in it.

The top management of Tianjing Entertainment Company has issued a notice to the financial department, as long as it is the approval of the funds for "Arms 2", it can be directly approved.

With extremely sufficient funds, Wu Hong decided to go all out this time to make up for the regrets of shooting the first film.

Wu Hong has extraordinary confidence in "Arms 2". For him, "Wolf Warrior 2" is of the same nature as the current trendy movies in the market, and it is not a rival at all.

The early preparations for "Arms 2" were very fast, and basically everything has been completed. It can be promoted in the media tomorrow.

"Knock, knock, knock", the office door was knocked.

"Come in." Wu Hong said.

Qin Feng opened the door with the script, sat opposite Wu Hong, and said: "Director Wu, I want to ask you about the role."

The plot of "Arms 2" is not very related to the first part, and almost all the starring cast has been replaced. Qin Feng is the male lead this time.

Qin Feng knew that "Arms 2" was going to start shooting, so he found Qin Da and said that he wanted to play the leading role in the play.

Faced with Qi Xue's repeated rejections, Qin Feng did not give up.

He felt that as long as he could find a work that could make him famous and become the hottest star artist in the current entertainment industry, he could restore his position in Tianjing Entertainment Company.

Then Qi Xue would also look at him with new eyes and re-examine her relationship with him.

Qin Da also knew what Qin Feng meant, but for a big director like Wu Hong, Qin Da would naturally not interfere with the casting.

Tianjing Entertainment Company has been among the top entertainment companies for many years, which is inseparable from Qin Da's way of doing things. He has always believed that professional things should be done by professionals.

Qin Da only agreed to recommend Qin Feng to Wu Hong, and whether he could become the protagonist depended on himself.

Qin Feng seized this opportunity and was successfully spotted by Wu Hong with his excellent acting skills and became the male lead of "Arms 2". Perhaps Qin Feng does not have much advantage over other first-line male actors, but under the condition of similar conditions, Wu Hong is also happy to give his boss a face.

Wu Hong was very satisfied with Qin Feng's serious attitude, and naturally explained the play carefully, analyzed the characters, analyzed the plot, and covered everything.

An hour later, the two had moved to the tea table, drinking tea and chatting about the characters in the play.

After Wu Hong's guidance, Qin Feng had already understood the character he was going to play in the play, and the problems that had troubled him for several days were solved.

Qin Feng was not in a hurry to leave. The two of them sipped tea and chatted. "Wolf Warrior 2" is the current hot news in the entertainment industry, so it was naturally mentioned by the two.

Wu Hong said: "Have you seen the "Wolf Warrior 2" mentioned on the Internet?"

Qin Feng put down the cup in his hand, and said in a spirit: "Director Wu, I think Tan Yue is just riding on our popularity. There is no "Wolf Warrior 1" but it is called "Wolf Warrior 2". Anyone with a discerning eye can see the problem."

Wu Hong did not speak, but nodded slightly.

Qin Feng said: "There is a saying that goes, the higher you praise someone, the worse he will fall. Brilliant Entertainment contacted so many media reporters to report on this matter. Their admiration for Tan Yue is a bit too much."

Tan Yue has always been smooth sailing in the TV series, and every TV series he released is a hit. In Qin Feng's opinion, Brilliant Entertainment will definitely suffer a big loss this time.

Qin Feng coughed lightly and continued, "Tan Yue's wishful thinking this time was wrong. The popularity of military-themed movies cannot be achieved by just riding on it. He has been going too smoothly all the way, and it's time for him to fall."

"Arms 1" is currently the ceiling of the military-themed box office. With increased investment, the quality of the second part will be higher. Qin Feng thought that after the two movies were released, he would be able to step on Tan Yue, and he felt very comfortable.

He wanted to let Qi Xue see that the man she had always been thinking about was not as good as himself.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's eyes lit up, and he couldn't wait to see the arrival of that day. Maybe Qi Xue would take the initiative to come to him.

Wu Hong said leisurely: "Young people should experience more setbacks so that they can grow."

The next day.

Tianjing Entertainment contacted major media and announced the news of the filming of "Arms 2", and the publicity was no less than that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

This naturally caused heated discussions on the Internet soon.

"Wow! I finally saw the news about "Arms 2". After watching the first part, I was so excited that I had the urge to join the army. I am looking forward to the second work."

"The military-themed movies released recently almost made me sick. What kind of things are they shooting? I don't know what these directors are thinking. I hope that "Arms 2" can be finished and released as soon as possible to rebuild my collapsed worldview."

"The protagonist of the second part turned out to be Qin Feng, my male god. I haven't seen his works for a long time. I think the male god will look very handsome in military uniform."

"Yesterday I saw the news that "Wolf Warrior 2" started filming, and today I After watching "Arms 2", I wonder which of the two movies is better? "

"Comparing the two movies, I still prefer "Arms 2". After all, it is the first movie to popularize this theme, and the second one should not be bad. And Tan Yue is making a movie for the first time, and it is a military theme. Maybe it will be at the same level as the current trend-following movies."

""Wolf Warrior 2" is a movie that is just riding on the popularity. How can it be compared with "Arms 2"? Don't shoot it before it starts shooting, so as not to lose money later."

"Two movies of the same type announced their start of shooting one after another, and both are directed by famous directors. The names are somewhat similar, which inevitably makes netizens compare them together.

With the popularity of "Arms 1", everyone is naturally more optimistic about "Arms 2".

Magic City.

Qi Xue wore a white bunny-shaped pajamas, sat cross-legged on the sofa, hugged a tablet, and read entertainment news.

During this period, she has been studying the script at home and rarely went to the company. Her new drama will start shooting after the spring.

For some reason, her phone often sends her news about Tan Yue. After she clicks on it, she gets more news.

Qi Xue looks at the comparison of the two dramas online, biting her lips slightly, rubbing her fingers constantly, feeling a little uneasy, and a little worried about Tan Yue.

With the popularity of "Arms 1", the box office of the second part will definitely be very high.

As for Tan Yue's movie, Qi Xue also feels that it is just riding on the popularity just by seeing the name "Wolf Warrior 2".

Qi Xue is very puzzled. Tan Yue's TV series have always been eclectic, and he has never ridden the popularity in terms of subject matter. But why did he do this kind of thing in his first battle as a film director?

"Is he not confident in himself?" I thought to myself.

In Qi Xue's eyes, the purpose of such a movie riding on the popularity is to make money. Even if the actors' acting skills are good, the workmanship of the movie is rough, and the plot is even more messed up. How can a movie riding on the popularity become popular?

Qi Xue was not optimistic about the box office of Wolf Warrior 2. It would be good if the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 could make back the money.

Qi Xue turned off the tablet, put it aside, lay on the sofa, sighed, and said self-deprecatingly: "Are you stupid?"

At the Feitian Awards, the two of them sat in the front and back rows, so close to each other, and Tan Yue didn't even look at her. Although she knew that there was no possibility of reconciliation between the two of them, Qi Xue still couldn't let go.

There was no sound in the room. Qi Xue just lay there with her eyes closed, and the past scenes of the two appeared in her mind.

Beijing.

Brilliant Entertainment Company.

Chen Ye knocked on the door of Tan Yue's office angrily.

Tan Yue asked in confusion: "Xiao Ye, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"

Chen Ye handed the phone to Tan Yue: "Mr. Tan, look at the comments online. The movie hasn't been filmed yet, and they are starting to say that our movie is not as good as "Arms 2", and that "Wolf Warrior 2" is just riding on the popularity."

Seeing the popularity of "Arms 1", Tan Yue knew that there would definitely be a second work, but he didn't expect that "Arms 2" would also announce the news of its upcoming start so soon.

Tan Yue returned the phone to Chen Ye and said with a smile: "Do you think "Wolf Warrior 2" is riding on the popularity?"

Chen Ye wanted to refute, but he couldn't find an excuse. With a name like "Wolf Warrior 2", everyone would have this idea after seeing it.

"Then they can't say our movie is bad." Chen Ye couldn't help but say.

Tan Yue smiled and said, "Both movies haven't started shooting yet, so it's too early to say which one is better. As for the final result, the box office will give us the answer after the release."

Chen Ye nodded. He was really too impulsive after reading the comments from netizens just now.

Tan Yue glanced at the time and said, "Xiao Ye, go and inform Mr. Wang that the shooting time of Wolf Warrior 2 will be January 10th."

Watching Chen Ye go out, Tan Yue sorted out the documents again. As for the public opinion on the Internet, he had left it behind early.

The decision to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2" was originally related to "Arms 1", and which of the two movies is better, let's wait until it is released.

Tan Yue believes in the potential of "Wolf Warrior 2".

After get off work in the evening, Tan Yue drove and took Chen Ziyu back home.

Tan Yue wore an apron, and Chen Ziyu helped him to make a sumptuous dinner.

Tan Yue picked up some food for Chen Ziyu and said, "Ziyu, New Year's Day is coming soon. Will you accompany me home to see my parents after the holiday?"

"Wolf Warrior 2" is scheduled to start filming on January 10th, and the entire crew will go abroad after the start of filming.

It will take five or six months to come back, and it is very likely that he will not come back during the Spring Festival.

Tan Yue has not been home to see his parents for a while, so he took advantage of the New Year's Day holiday to go home, which can be regarded as celebrating the New Year in advance.

The strong woman in everyone's eyes showed a trace of panic on her face, and she stuttered a little when she spoke: "Ah! Or wait a little longer."

Tan Yue lowered his head and didn't speak. Chen Ziyu hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else. I just feel that I am not ready yet. I want to be more mentally prepared."

The voices behind him became smaller and smaller.

Tan Yue laughed and said with a smile: "Is this still the domineering president of our company? There are times when you are afraid."

Chen Ziyu's cheeks and ears turned red instantly, and she hurriedly picked up a piece of chili and put it in her mouth.

Looking at Chen Ziyu's spicy look, Tan Yue laughed even louder and handed over a glass of water: "You see how nervous you are. I just mentioned it, and I didn't force you. Then wait until you are ready and follow me home."

Chen Ziyu drank the water and looked at Tan Yue secretly.

Speaking of going home with Tan Yue to meet her parents, Chen Ziyu felt that she still needed to prepare, but she didn't know what to prepare. She had never experienced this kind of thing.

After confirming the relationship, after this period of time, the two people became closer and closer, and it can be said that they have reached the point where they are no longer separated.

Chen Ziyu calmed down her nervousness, picked up a piece of chili and placed it in front of Tan Yue, saying gently: "Honey, eat it."

After a happy dinner, Chen Ziyu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

All he could think about was going home with Tan Yue to meet his parents.
