Chapter 425: Charming Everyone
Without the attention of the public, without the crazy publicity campaign, without the grand premiere, even this film that Wu Jing put all his efforts into could not be ranked among the big movies, and almost no one would have excessive expectations for its box office.
The box office of more than 500 million yuan for the first part was already a surprise, which meant that Wu Jing successfully transformed and had his own little world. He could take on the responsibility of making movies and directing them. It also gave investors the confidence to invest in him and treat him as a commercial film director who could make money, so that he could continue to create good results in military-themed films.
"Wolf Warrior 2" is even bigger, and investors are beginning to feel pressured. They are beginning to feel that the box office of 600 to 700 million is not safe, and they are beginning to feel that they can't make money even with the post-production. Wu Jing's pressure can be imagined. The repeated increase in investment has made people who originally had confidence in the film's profitability also have some concerns. In the end, Wu Jing went into battle bare-handed and used his own money to make additional investments. Fortunately, the pre-sale tickets have a gratifying situation, and people in various circles have a different view of Chen Hao, thinking that he is now popular and has great commercial value.
In the last few days before he arrived in Yanjing for promotion, Huya Times received more than a dozen movie scripts, more than 20 TV drama scripts, and a series of advertising endorsement contracts. This time, even Brother Tian couldn't sit still. According to his plan for Chen Hao's future prospects, this is already the limit he can think of. It's time for his commercial value to be reflected.
Brother Tian also picked up the phone, dialed it and chose to hang up. He planned to tell his subordinates directly that they could start selecting projects for Haozi. He hung up because he felt that as the head of his own guild, according to the progress of business rules, he should respect the current value of others in all aspects as the eldest brother.
"First, choose carefully, let Gao Hongbo go over to help choose together, don't consider the film remuneration and advertising endorsement fees, first consider whether it is suitable for him, after two rounds of screening, and then submit the plan to the upper level." There is a sentence that Brother Tian did not say. When the plan is submitted to the upper level, he will find Haozi to look at it together, and his will to choose is the main basis.
Brother Tian is a businessman, and he is also an investor. It should be based on absolute interests. At this time, Chen Hao's commercial value has reached the peak as he expected, so he should be allowed to create more benefits for himself. He is not tied to his own company for life. Considering him, we should also try our best to let his commercial value be fed back to the company.
The reason that prompted him to think more and want to maintain a good relationship with Chen Hao was Kuang Zhonghai and Jing Tianlin. Although they were friends, they were closer as childhood friends. Whether it was Kuang Zhonghai's money or Jing Tianlin's influence, it put great pressure on Brother Tian. He knew that once the guild and Haozi fell out, Kuang Zhonghai would not mind spending money to pull the other party out of the contract. Not only Kuang Zhonghai, but all major guilds would be willing to do so. Once Kuang Zhonghai wanted to do it and put it into action, even if he held Chen Hao's contract tightly, he would not want to play rogue. As long as the official saw that the amount of compensation was enough, they would let him go. The existence of Jing Tianlin would force him to be cautious and not dare to play rough.
In business, Brother Tian knew that the better way was to make money for everyone, and there would be no problem if the interests were tied together.
As for the guild, he did not want to talk about business. It was a toy, and now it has grown into a profitable business, but he still wanted to keep the things that were originally for some affection.
Looking back, he saw that whether it was friendship or business, it seemed that there was no conflict between him and Haozi, and they could be compatible. All he needed was to lower his posture a little bit, which was neither bowing nor shameful. For friendship, everyone was brothers, and there was no such thing as bowing or not bowing between brothers, and there was no order, and they would discuss things together; for business, the other party was a serious cash cow, and in the face of interests, there was no such thing as bowing or not bowing.
In the final analysis, what Huanju Times and Meng Fantian should do now is to continue to stand firmly on Chen Hao's side, and everyone should think and work together, twist all their strength into a rope, and continue to move forward.
At the premiere, Brother Tian came to support, although he didn't come in person, but he showed the same support and courtesy, and in his contact with Wu Jing, he was very interested in the completed script of "Wolf Warrior 3", and had already told the other party that he could invest in the third part at that time.
The premiere of a low-key movie, which is very common nowadays, did not cause much waves, but it was not unknown. Wu Jing, the movie itself, Chen Hao, and Wu Gang were all shining points that attracted others' attention.
In Lele, many people are also looking forward to this movie. There are many people who expect it to succeed and many people who expect it to fail. When people become famous, they are envied. It can be said that when Chen Hao became one of the five gods, there was not a bright road in front of him, but countless people who envied and hated you. They wanted to eat your flesh and blood and make you disappear from their sight. Because of your existence, they found that their struggle seemed too childish, and they were discouraged in an instant.
In the past, if you had more than one million fans a year and could broadcast live to 10,000 or 20,000 people, you were a successful anchor. Even if you were crazy and promoted, this number would be doubled several times. If you were even better, at best, you could broadcast a stable live to 100,000 people, which was amazing.
Chen Hao suddenly appeared and rose higher and higher, which discouraged some people. They felt that they were too far behind. Once the gap was revealed, they felt unbalanced and hated him. If there were people who were hostile to Chen Hao and stood up to charge, they would be happy to follow behind and cheer. If there really was a day when the tree fell and the monkeys scattered, they would definitely rush up and kick Chen Hao again and add insult to injury.
Before the film was released, these people suppressed and slandered him in some places. Anyway, the Internet is anonymous. I can mess with you and you won’t know. I just feel good. As the saying goes, success or failure is due to Xiao He. "Wolf Warrior 2" has many benefits from using Chen Hao, but it has also been tripped up by people on the Internet. Various negative comments and bad voices have made this film, which has not been promoted enough, more or less feel weak. It wants to use the National Day to promote positive energy, but it has to face domestic and foreign blockbusters during the crazy National Day schedule. The difficulty of surviving in the cracks is undoubtedly like that of an ant. Many people are badmouthing this film because of its schedule. During the National Day, you don't even know how to die. If you just stand in the market share of two blockbusters, you will not only have little scheduling, but you will also be squeezed out of the filming sequence in a very short time and be taken off the screen early.
Because of the discussion caused by the film itself.
Because of the front and back scenes caused by Chen Hao's popularity.
At this moment, the mystery will be revealed. On September 30th, at 8 pm, "Wolf Warrior 2" will premiere nationwide.
At this moment, Hua Ze, who did not broadcast live, watched this film with a very complicated emotion.
At this moment, Chen Hao, who was also sitting in the cinema without live broadcast, also watched the movie with a very complicated emotion. He was not the lead actor and did not bear the pressure of whether the film was successful or not. He was not the lead actor, but he longed to sit in the premiere of the movie in the cinema one day, and he was the well-deserved center of attention.
Continuing the plot of "Wolf Warrior 1", after severely blackmailing the unscrupulous demolition team, Leng Feng changed from a wolf warrior to a love-struck man looking for a girlfriend on the African coastline, starting another different life.
This was also the first time Chen Hao watched the finished film. At the beginning, he felt that there was nothing to worry about. Director Wu Jing played it very well. From naval battles to urban street battles, the appearance of various large weapons made the large scenes that could not appear in the domestic environment appear wantonly on the African continent, with big explosions, tanks, armored vehicles, heavy machine guns, and people falling one after another...
The plot was not very complicated, just to make you enjoy it. Leng Feng got off the ship. He was going to save the mother of the doctor and his godson. Although he took off his military uniform, he still regarded himself as a Chinese soldier. At this moment, his attitude was undoubtedly revealed.
After the big scene, full of positive energy, the colors in the film came out, the heroine appeared, and Leng Feng began to fight with the master at close range. The whole film was full of Leng Feng's personal heroism, and all kinds of combat environments he might encounter were shown in all aspects, providing more scenes that made the audience scream with excitement, and every audience member was excited and wanted to rush in and fight with Leng Feng.
Chen Hao remembered that when he was on the set, Director Wu Jing frankly admitted that from the first to the second part, Leng Feng was indeed an invincible main line existence, the Chinese version of Rambo, and he felt that there was no problem. He thought that he would be criticized and scolded, and he was also mentally prepared. From the cooperation of his comrades in the first part to the cooperation of the three-person team in the second part, he did not admit that he was fighting alone in the whole film.
The film is over 120 minutes long, so when Chen Hao's character Zhuo Yifan appeared after three or four scenes, all his fans were still full of expectations, expecting Haozi to have a good performance. Chen Hao did not disappoint everyone. The handsomeness of the moment he appeared on the screen really fascinated thousands of girls, no, from teenagers to forty or fifty years old, all of them were instantly killed!
Wearing a special combat uniform, the shooting angle also fully showed Chen Hao's slender figure. When he walked out, everyone's focus was on him. Wearing such clothes, he interpreted the words sunny and cool to the fullest, a bit like a combination of Louis Koo and Daniel Wu, and his whole body released a sunny aura!
