Chapter 869 "Wolf Warrior 2"

"Director Zhou, I have a play here, why don't you watch it for me?"

At this time, Wu Jing, who was bumping into walls everywhere in the entertainment industry, restrained his temper, but towards Zhou Yuwen, he was smiling all over his face, and even bowed a little.

No way, Wu Jing didn’t want to do this either. The reality is too cruel. When filming Wolf Warrior 1, the investment was only tens of millions, but the final box office was 550 million. This shows that military-themed movies can still make money. Although it is said that I earn less, it is the type I like anyway.

And the advantage of making this kind of movie is that it can promote the power of the country and promote positive energy. If it can be taken seriously by the country, it is not as simple as making money.

So Wu Jing felt that if he wanted to shoot Wolf Warrior 2, at least he would have enough investment.

In fact, it is true, and exchanged cups with a few old brothers, Wu Jing said with a smile: "My buddy is going to shoot Wolf Warrior 2! Support?"

"It's easy to say, how much is it?"

"Two hundred million!"

"Ahem, well, Jing'er, I have something to do later, so I won't be with you?"

When filming Wolf Warrior 1, everyone is willing to invest money to play with you, because your value is tens of millions. We are willing to spend some money to play with you. In fact, we did not lose money after earning 550 million box office, but you The opening is 200 million, if there is another 500 million at the box office, it means that we are spending money and wasting time playing with you. Who wants it?

Your military film is a niche film, so is it possible that you can still make a billion box office?

This matter was put in 2018, before Wolf Warrior came out, it was a joke to anyone.

Wu Jing originally thought that the things he could get at hand were unexpected, but they were full of difficulties. Everyone knew that he was attracting investment, so he immediately avoided it, and some people tried to persuade you, why bother, and make a few TV dramas down-to-earth. Isn't a million fragrant?

At this time, Wu Jing said sternly, no, it must be filmed, and let the people of the country know how strong we are!

So Wu Jing sold the pot and sold iron, and for this reason, his wife even had a conflict with herself, saying that Wu Jing was crazy.

Crazy is just crazy, Wu Jing only said that he doesn't know if the film will make money or not, but he will definitely not lose money, if he really loses money, then he will pay back the money by making bad movies for the rest of his life. .

So just like that, Wu Jing worked so hard to bring in an investment of 120 million yuan, but the remaining 80 million yuan could not be obtained by life or death. Wu Jing's idea at the time was to raise investment while filming.

In the end, the investment didn't come through, and the actress felt that filming was tiring and hard work, and the money she got was still low, so she said she had to raise her salary or change her, right?

At that time, if Wu Jing had money, he would definitely not change people. The problem was that he really had no money at the time, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and say that the money was spent on airplanes and cannons. Do you want to do it or not.

So the actresses went on strike, and Wu Jing was besieged on all sides. If the 80 million investment cannot be made, it is estimated that whether the film can be made is a problem.

At this time, my friend Liu called Wu Jing and said that he could contribute the 80 million investment, but Wu Jing smiled reluctantly and said, let's see.

At the beginning of this year, Wu Jing was invited to participate in this film festival. Seeing the star-like Zhou Yuwen, he was actually hesitant in his heart, should he give it a try?

But looking at Zhou Yuwen's pretty face, he really doesn't look like a good-sighted person.

But I heard people say that this Zhou Yuwen is good at discovering people's talents, but anyone who is favored by Zhou Yuwen is basically popular. The original director of the movie "Previous Raiders" is Tian Yusheng, because he filmed "Previous Raiders" and now he is very popular. , Happy Twist used to be a drama club, because Zhou Yuwen also became famous overnight.

Even that little-known online singer got up because of Zhou Yuwen's appreciation.

So what does Zhou Yuwen think of his script?

Thinking of this, Wu Jing plucked up the courage to send the script to Zhou Yuwen. She didn't expect Zhou Yuwen to spend money on investment, but at least she wanted Zhou Yuwen to affirm it, right?

Zhou Yuwen, a well-known bole in the entertainment industry, once he got his affirmation, at least he could give himself some confidence.

To be honest, it was rather abrupt for Wu Jing to hand over the script. Given Zhou Yuwen's current status, there were countless people who wanted to hand over the script to Zhou Yuwen.

How could Zhou Yuwen read all of them?

So when she saw the script handed over, before Zhou Yuwen said anything, Ms. Yang next to her was a little displeased. She knew that there was someone like Wu Jing in the entertainment industry, but they were not familiar with each other, and they were not in the same area. The actor directly took over the script, and said in a businesslike manner: "Okay, I will keep the script for Mr. Zhou, and I will give you an answer after reading it."

This was a refusal, but Wu Jing had no choice but to smile awkwardly: "Well, please excuse me."

Just when he was about to leave, Zhou Yuwen asked, "Is the second part of Wolf Warrior you've been filming recently?"

After hearing this, Wu Jing couldn't help but feel happy: "You know?"

Zhou Yuwen nodded: "I have seen it, the filming is very good."

"That's right! I think there is a shortage of military-themed movies in China now. Look, year after year, there are one movie after another, but which one is military-themed? I made Wolf Warriors 1. I didn’t think much of it when I was playing, so I spent tens of millions of dollars in investment, and ended up earning 500 million at the box office! I put a lot of thought into Wolf Warrior 2, "

"How much money are you short?" Before Wu Jing finished speaking, Zhou Yuwen directly interrupted Wu Jing and asked.

Wu Jing was taken aback, and everyone beside him was also taken aback. He knew that Zhou Yuwen liked to be eclectic in his work, but he never thought that he would be so eclectic. He didn't even read the script, so he just asked how much it would cost?

Are you kidding me?

At this time, Zhou Yuwen took the script from Ms. Yang's hand and said calmly: "There is indeed a lack of excellent military movies in China. When we make movies, we can't just look at how much money we can make, how many stars we can make, but think about this movie. What can it bring to society? Can it have a positive impact on the audience."

"Movies have never been a means of making money, but a manifestation of art. Different movies are different arts. Most of the movies today make money, and the rest of them all rush over. My first The movie is Hello Youth, and then a group of people ran to make a youth movie."

"After Charlotte's annoyance became popular, another group of people filmed time-travel films."

"Recently, the predecessor's strategy has become popular, and there are a bunch of goodbye ex, hello ex."

"This kind of phenomenon is very bad. Why do you say that meaningful films such as Titanic and Shawshank Redemption can be made abroad, but we can't do it in China, because we are too impetuous. Filmmakers look at money, and investors are also interested in it. In terms of money, excellent works are not appreciated, and the market in my country is getting bigger and bigger, but the quality of the works is getting worse and worse. I think all the filmmakers here have a great responsibility."

When Zhou Yuwen uttered grandiose words, the people next to him were silently embarrassed.

It took a while for someone to react, clapped their hands and said, "Yes, yes, what Director Zhou said is so true!"

"Yes! After all, he is a great director! The realm is just different!"

"Yeah!"

Then there was a lot of flattery, but he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, did this guy make money and float away, and he started talking about his feelings?

Can feelings be eaten?

Excellent works are naturally taken advantage of by you guys? We only have so little money in our hands, how can we have time to play with you?

What Zhou Yuwen said made Wu Jing cry. He felt ashamed that he had underestimated Zhou Yuwen just now. He never thought that Zhou Yuwen had such a big heart.

Compared with him, Wu Jing felt that she was too old.

Zhou Yuwen asked Wu Jing again, how much money do you need?

"Eight, no, 50 million, you give me 50 million, and I will make this movie for you!" Wu Jing promised.

Zhou Yuwen said: "I'll give you 200 million, do you have the confidence to make this movie well?"

"???" Wu Jing was stunned.

The people next to him were also stunned.

Good guy! Sure enough, he is a local tyrant, and he has no place to spend his money? The opening is 200 million! ?

Awesome, this Wu Jing earned it!

"Are you confident?" Zhou Yuwen asked.

"I'm so confident! Don't worry! I won't let you down!" Wu Jing said.

Zhou Yuwen nodded: "For specific matters, you should contact Miss Mi."

After speaking, he gave the script to Ms. Yang. From the beginning to the end, he didn't even read the script. Many people watched Zhou Yuwen shaking the script back and forth in his hand, but they didn't even look at it. They were amused.

Everyone understands that Zhou Yuwen has made enough money after filming his predecessor's Raiders, and now he is starting to earn fame. And Wu Jing was also lucky, he suddenly appeared at this time, and then Zhou Yuwen directly spent 200 million!

Now, Zhou Yuwen has become famous in the entertainment industry, from a young director making commercial films to a bole who supports filmmakers in pursuing their dreams.

It's just a pity that the 200 million is wasted.

After returning to the hotel, Ms. Yang was still puzzled by what Zhou Yuwen did just now, and said, "You just want to invest. Since he wants 50 million, why don't you just give him 50 million? Give 200 million? Isn't this obviously a loss-making business?"

"Why is it a loss-making business? You know that his movie will lose money?" Zhou Yuwen took off his coat indifferently.

"You didn't even read the script!" Ms. Yang blurted out, it would be strange if she didn't lose money, you just had money to burn, and you just asked for an additional investment of 200 million? Can this make money? How do you make money without even reading the script?

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, Ms. Yang couldn't help but said: "I know, people in the circle say that you are a rascal recently, you can only sell your feelings to make money, and some people criticize you for not understanding movies, but they can say whatever they want ,"

Miss Yang was chattering away, Zhou Yuwen didn't bother to talk to her, and sat on the sofa to watch the street view outside the window.

"Honey, I'm talking to you!" Miss Yang was a little annoyed, she walked over and turned Zhou Yuwen's head to look at her.
