What kind of bad thoughts can the director have?

Chapter 186
On July 7th, the 20st day of "Warrior"'s release, the box office was 21 billion, surpassing the Chinese box office record of 33.15 billion set by "Mermaid" on June 6 last year, and won the championship crown at a record-breaking speed.

Then on August 8, it broke through 3 billion at the box office, becoming the first film in the history of Chinese films to break 40 billion.

So the release period was extended by one month to the end of August. However, due to the successive releases of "Wolf Warrior 8" and "The Founding of an Army", the screening rate has dropped to about 2%, and the follow-up box office is unlikely to gain much.

In my memory, "Wolf Warrior 2" has a box office of more than 50 billion, which is likely to surpass "Warrior".

Yang Shu didn't care too much, he wasn't in a hurry to establish a historical position for himself, since "Warrior" had reached the pinnacle that no one could surpass, it would lose the motivation to move forward and the fun of chasing after me .

He hopes that "Wolf Warrior 2" will be as popular as in the previous life, surpassing "Warrior", then he is interested in making another work that surpasses it, and strives to become an inspirational role model instead of lying in the clouds and being bored And lonely.

Maybe it's really a good thing, "Wolf Warrior 2" did well after its release. Although it didn't have the rave reviews of "Warrior", it was still very popular.

The results in the first week were not very impressive. They didn't break 4 billion in 10 days, but they were just a little bit short. So on the 5th day, they went straight to 12 billion, which was just a little bit short of breaking the record of "Warrior".

The box office is good but the evaluation is average, always around 7.2, far lower than the 8.5 of "Warrior".

However, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" is very stable. There were no Chinese movies that made a name for themselves overseas.

The scores of other movies began to decline after the first week. "Wolf Warrior 2" did the opposite, and the score was getting better every day, so that it reached 3.61 million the day before August 3.71st, and almost broke the [-] million of "Warrior". The single-day box office record in Chinese film history.

In the next few days, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" also exceeded 3 million. The results were outstanding. It surpassed the 33.91 billion of "Mermaid" in just half a month after its release, and was promoted to the second place in the total box office, which is close to "Warrior".

Half a month more than "Mermaid", this speed is 5 days faster than "Warrior".

Although he had watched "Wolf Warrior 2" in his previous life, Yang Shu brought Ning Song and other key members of the team, as well as Liu Man and Jiang Shiyu into the arena to watch it again.

He just casually mentioned something in WeChat, but Ko Ni thought it was of entertainment value, so she sent a special message: Yang Shu joined "Wolf Warrior 2" and wished it a big hit at the box office.

It was just such an inconspicuous piece of news, but it turned out to be on the hot search, and the people who eat melons praised Yang Shu for his heart. After the private rival "Fu Er Love Letter" during the release of "Heavenly Love Letter", this time he went to watch the movie in person.

Obviously not there for the interview, but before Yang Shu finished watching the movie, Ko Ni posted another report: "Yang Shu praised "Wolf Warrior 2" as our "First Blood", this is a drop of patriotic blood, Wu Jing combines patriotism with fighting and explosion scenes very well, and the plot of saving compatriots and refugees in a foreign country is exciting, visually and spiritually shocking, and it can be said that two enjoyments are satisfied at once.”

This is the position that the two had communicated in advance. It doesn't matter whether it is an interview or not, as long as the time is almost up, just write it up.

"What are the poplars doing when the record is broken" has brought a lot of traffic to Connie, and the number of fans has increased by hundreds of thousands, which has exceeded [-] million. Naturally, this remark has caused heated discussions.

Netizens have mixed opinions on Yang Shu's movie: "Yang Shu is a man, and he said that with a lot of air. When "Warrior" was released, others didn't like it so much. This is the style of a leading figure. This is what the domestic film and television industry lacks. people."

Hollywood loves to have so-called leaders and leaders, whether they are directors or actors, and they can be replaced automatically.

However, the situation in China is different. Everyone is under strong leadership, and there is no need for every mountain to have a king. It is definitely not a good thing for anyone who wants to be a king.

"I think Yang Shu is talking nonsense with open eyes. The level of domestic audiences is not high. It's okay to watch a cool movie. As a big director, he's going to have fun with him. Doesn't he know that there are so many such cool movies in Hollywood?"

This is not objective enough. There are indeed a lot of cool Hollywood movies. Lao Mei has swept most of the world decades ago with a gun in his hand. It seems that he has shot everything that can be shot. Now he is invincible and lonely, except for fighting aliens. Nothing serious.

But cool films can also be divided into first-rate and second- and third-rate. For example, "First Blood" is first-rate, and the first one is even quite thoughtful. Yang Shu thinks it is appropriate to juxtapose "Wolf Warrior 2" and "First Blood", After all, the next few parts of this series are also saving compatriots and refugees all over the world.

Yang Shu even asserted that Wolf Warriors will not make another 3 or 4 movies, and it will really follow the old path of "First Blood". Stallone is still in his [-]s and [-]s and is still shooting with machine guns. Could it be that Wu Jing will fight in Africa again with wrinkles on his face?

After all, apart from Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Golden Triangle, we have no stories in other places.

Jiang Shiyu returned home after watching "Wolf Warrior 2" and was very unconvinced: "What is this filming? The whole movie is full of emotions, constantly inciting emotions. In fact, there is nothing dry about it. It will be very popular. You are really emotional. Got box office."

Yang Shu doesn't think so: "Of course we have to mobilize the audience's emotions in film and television works, and live performances such as dramas are indispensable. This movie is successful in this aspect. It not only sees that the audience has such emotions that need to be vented, but also It also grasped the opportunity to transform feelings into emotions."

"Our "Warrior" is about feelings, and "Wolf Warrior 2" is about emotions, so their following behind did not affect the box office at all, and they may even surpass us in terms of posture."

Yang Shu chuckled: "Don't forget that our "Warrior" is divided into two parts. The upper part is indeed about feelings, and the lower part is about emotions. You might as well wait a month and see who can mobilize emotions more successfully."

Liu Man is also relatively objective: "I have to say that this movie is all Hollywood popcorn patterns and routines. We have set up so many film schools, but in the end we are imitating Hollywood. This is a bit sad, but I appreciate Wu Jing's Ambition, from "Wolf Warrior 1" to "Wolf Warrior 2", it can be seen that he is carefully creating an IP similar to 007, which is the right direction and will help the film market."

It's a bit sad, but it has nothing to do with Wu Jing. He was not trained by a film school. He wrote, directed and acted in "Wolf Warrior 2".

In addition, Yang Shu also agrees with Liu Man's judgment, Wu Jing is preparing to create an IP, the story of "Wolf Warrior 2" is not finished, and the whereabouts of his girlfriend is still unknown, even leaving a sequel at the end of the film.

However, he also knows that sequels are not easy to do, and the international situation will change quickly. In the future, any form of contemporary themes that will be launched overseas may be limited, and this cannot be controlled by individuals.

到8月20号的时候，《战狼2》票房已经51.35亿，连续破了40、50亿大关，也超过了《战士》。

The box office revenue of the upper part of "Warrior" basically entered the final stage, and finally closed at around 46 billion.

Two consecutive blockbuster films with billions of box office harvested the market, and the films of the same period were basically bleak, and at the same time, they also greatly increased the total market size of the year.

Moreover, there is no sign of exhaustion in the market's consumption capacity, and it seems that there is still potential to be tapped.

Therefore, the theater chain decided to extend the release of the first part of "Warrior" for one month, and connect it with the second part of "Warrior", which is scheduled to be released on September 9.

Jiang Shiyu was still unconvinced: "He actually robbed us of the championship, let's see who wins in the end."
