Chapter 1146 Celebration
For Shen Xudong, "Wolf Warrior 2" can come to an end.
The focus of our work right now is of course the advancement of "Wolf Warrior 3"...
In the original time and space, Wu Jing has not started the preparation work for "Wolf Warrior 3"...
The reason is actually quite simple - lack of preparation, and the influence of "Wolf Warrior 2" is too great, "Wolf Warrior 3" needs strict review...
——Probably the media of a certain country published a critical report under the title "China's Wolf Warriors", accusing China of adopting "wolf warrior diplomacy".
It can only be said that "Wolf Warrior 2" is so popular that it has not only become a cultural phenomenon in the field of Chinese culture, but has also become a "social phenomenon" to a large extent.
If anything happens now, netizens will call you a "wolf warrior" and so on.
It probably means that a country or an individual shows a proactive, offensive, and very tough attitude in terms of words and deeds on something.
The entire Chinese society and Chinese audiences seem to have acquiesced in this attitude.
However, does "Wolf Warrior 2" really express this meaning?
"Wolf Warrior 2" itself is adapted from real events in reality-the evacuation of foreign nationals from Yemen and the evacuation of foreign nationals from Libya.
In other words, he has reality as a basis.
Moreover, all of Leng Feng's actions were within the rules of international law and did not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries...
Does this thing have anything to do with offensiveness?
Riding on horses, the special forces overturned a small country in "The Expendables", and a group of racing gangsters overturned a small military base in "Fast and Furious 8"...
Not to mention James Bond, who acts even more heroic!
Does James Bond follow "international law"? Do you abide by the laws of this country? Do you respect the ordinary people of this country?
This cultural core basically appears in any Hollywood blockbuster running around the world.
The reason behind it is also very simple.
From the industrial revolution to the colonial era, Western countries have... Then come to the cultural hegemony formed after World War I, World War II and the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union.
After being a bully for a long time, everyone is used to it...
In the world, except for a very few countries such as China, the vast majority of so-called "offended" countries don't care.
Artistic freedom!
Otherwise, you can't explain why these films are among the best at the box office in these "offended" countries.
Bringing it back, how can the Wolf Warrior spirit be extracted from "Wolf Warrior 2"?
…
The story of "Greedy Wolf" is copied from the original "Greedy Wolf".
——The father believed that out of paternal love, he forced his daughter to have an abortion. For this reason, the daughter ran away from home, had her heart taken away, and died in a foreign land.
He killed his daughter's child and lost his own.
There is no other way out than suicide!
The aesthetics and expression of the "Slaying the Wolf" series have always maintained the B-level taste that is rare in Chinese-language movies.
Violent, bloody, cruel, dark...
Use the most direct fists, kicks and knives to handle all conflicts, and gunfire will not hit anyone.
The gunfire is just the ending when the dust settles.
Fate rules everything.
The box office of a movie like this cannot be too high...
But there are many die-hard fans, so as long as the cost is controlled below 80 million, you will definitely make money!
After "Wolf Warrior" was released, the box office in the first week was 240 million. It failed to break the monopoly of "Wolf Warrior 2", but it was already very good. You must know that "Psychological Crime" and "Rogue Alliance" were released during the release of "Wolf Warrior 2" "No matter what, there is no voice that has been suppressed...
"Greed Wolf" is close to 250 million in its first week, and its reputation and discussion are also very high. According to Maoyan's prediction, the final box office should be more than 600 million.
Although it is affected by "Wolf Warrior 2", it is within the acceptable range.
…
In early September, Shen Xudong's resort hosted the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2". Wu Jing, Chen Xiao, Reba, Wu Gang, Yu Qian, and Ding Haifeng all came...
A few people played for a while and left in the afternoon...
"Wolf Warrior 2" hasn't been released yet, and the current box office is 5.925 billion. It is estimated that the final box office should be about 6.05 billion...
According to the separate accounts, it should be more than 2.8 billion!
Wu Jing could get 20%, which is 560 million, but Shen Xudong increased it and directly gave 1 billion - including a bonus of 400 million!
In addition, the participating actors and the creative team behind the scenes received a big red envelope.
Shen Xudong is not a stingy person. Basically, the profits and rewards of a successful movie are all clearly stipulated!
After the release of "Wolf Warrior 2", Tianmei Media, as the main producer, saw its market value increase by 28% - Tianmei's market value exceeds 100 billion, an increase of 28%, which is outrageous.
In addition, thanks to the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2", Maoyan's user activity index has also experienced a surge - the monthly active index has successfully exceeded 150 million.
Firmly occupy the third position and attack the second position at any time...
Maoyan launched D round of financing, and its market value is estimated to exceed US$30 billion for the first time...
The rewards that a play brings to Shen Xudong are far beyond what money can compare with!
By the way, I invested 500 million to buy 40% of Wu Jing's Dengfeng International...
In the afternoon, everyone left, but Wu Jing, Dong Qun and Yu Qian stayed.
Oh, Dong Qun is Fenwu Enchantress, the screenwriter of "Wolf Warrior 2", and also the screenwriter of "Wolf Warrior 3"...
…
After a while, Ning Hao, Han Yan, Guo Fan, Lu Yang and Zhang Yimou all came...
Collective congratulations to Wu Jing for making a beautiful movie!
Xudong raised a topic: military action movies.
This Zhang Yi has the right to speak. He has previously filmed a film "Codename Jaguar". The story is also considered a military action film - jointly fighting against terrorists...
“Does ‘Out of the Amazon’ count?”
"Out of the Amazon" is a 2002 TV series. It tells the story of two special forces from our army who went to the "Hunter School" in the Amazon basin of the Americas for training. The two protagonists used hard training and iron will to defeat strong opponents from all over the world. , a story that ultimately brings glory to Chinese soldiers and the country...
At this stage, our protagonist is passively defensive and will not take the initiative at all...
In "Codename Jaguar", terrorists came to the country, and in "Out of the Amazon", the most important thing is to win glory for the country!
Shen Xudong interjected: "If we analyze from the perspective of pan-military action films, the earliest practitioners of this type of Chinese-language films are Jackie Chan and Sammo Hung. The former has "Eagle Project" and "Brothers and Dragons", and the latter has "Oriental Condor". 》…
Their protagonists are all employed, working with money!
There is another one, Interpol! "
"Yes, I used to watch Hong Kong movies and felt that Interpol was very awesome... Later I checked the information and found out that the so-called Interpol only has coordination powers and does not have law enforcement powers..."
"During the peak period of Hong Kong movies, there were very few cases where the Chinese government used its identity to act. On the one hand, it had not yet returned to China, and on the other hand, it lacked a sense of identity!"
"I very much agree with Lin Chaoxian's "Reverse War". The identity of the protagonist is quite nonsense... He obviously lives in BJ, but he is some kind of International Security Agency agent..."
"They lack the feelings of family and country in their narrative..."
"Liu Weiqiang must bear the main responsibility for "The Founding of an Army" to be such a poor film!"
"They don't understand what a grand narrative is. Lin Chaoxian didn't pay attention to it at first. I recommended him to watch the "Armageddon" trilogy..."
Shen Xudong thought of something, interrupted the conversation of several people, and asked: "Have you all watched "The Founding of an Army"?"
"Um…"
"Let me give you a perspective. Comparing the treatment of the Kuomintang in "The Founding of the Army" and "The Founding of the People's Republic" eight years ago, we can find that the attitude towards "over there" has changed!"
Ning Hao nodded crazily: "...Yes, yes, there are indeed changes!"
