China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 403: The first and second place in the domestic box office are both related to Li Yu

In addition to being grateful to Li Yu, Wu Jing was also very grateful for Da Tiantian's frankness.

He soon discovered that Da Tiantian was not just talking nonsense.

After Da Tiantian stated the investment figure and confirmed the investment, the remaining specific matters were left to him to discuss with the relevant personnel of Xingguang Cuican.

Moreover, the whole process was very smooth. It only took half a day to sign the contract. As long as his actors are in place and filming starts, the money can be transferred at any time.

Wu Jing couldn't help but sigh that working with Da Tiantian was really worry-free.

Li Yu's optimism and Da Tiantian's straightforwardness made him feel a little embarrassed.

If you treat me with a state officer, I will repay it.

Wu Jing held his breath in his heart, and he vowed to make this "Wolf Warrior" well.

If this wasn't filmed well, he felt he wouldn't be able to face Da Tiantian and Li Yu again.

With this kind of mentality and determination, you can definitely get things done.

Neither Da Tiantian nor Li Yu would have thought that they would indirectly lead to a slight improvement in the quality of Wolf Warrior.

Wu Jing soon realized how great an influence the joining of Li Yu and Da Tiantian could bring.

It is said that there are not many secrets in the entertainment industry, and this is true.

The secrets that are not made public are not that no one knows them, but that many times no one dares to make them public.

The news that Wu Jing and Starlight had reached a collaboration spread like wildfire and soon reached most of the entertainment industry.

The news that Li Yu was the one behind the scenes pushing Wu Jing and Xingguang Cuican to reach a cooperation also spread.

The combination of these two pieces of news pushed the out-of-date actor Wu Jing and the "Wolf Warrior" that had no investors to the center of public opinion.

Wu Jing and "Wolf Warrior" became famous overnight.

What made Wu Jing realize even more was that a large number of investors had rejected him before, and now it was his turn to politely turn down investors.

Many investors who had previously rejected him and investors he didn't know contacted him, saying that if "Wolf Warrior" needed investment, they could provide financial support.

Wu Jing was very clear in his mind. He knew very well that the 180-degree change in investors' attitude had nothing to do with him, but had a lot to do with Da Tiantian and Li Yu.

To be more precise, it is related to Li Yu.

Li Yu recently invested in Lu Yang, whose situation was not much different from Wu Jing's. As a result, Lu Yang's "Knife of the Assassin" had very good box office and reputation.

Li Yu received a huge return on investment, and Lu Yang's first battle in his transformation into a commercial film director was a successful one.

This time, another example that is highly similar to Lu Yang appeared in front of investors. How could investors not be tempted?
Although he has not succeeded yet, Wu Jing has realized the specific meaning of the phrase "there are good people around me" in the past few days.

In addition to Wu Jing and his "Wolf Warrior" which attracted audiences inside and outside the circle, "The Great Wall" also broke the 8 million box office with the help of "8.4", and was fixed at million on the day it was released.

This is currently the Chinese-language film with the highest box office in China except for "Man Jiang Hong".

And Li Yu happens to be the chief screenwriter and producer of "Man Jiang Hong".

In other words, the top two domestic box office hits were either shot by Li Yu or involved Li Yu.

In the business field, Li Yu can really stand out from the crowd.

Of course, Li Yu's ability to stand out from the crowd is partly due to luck.

For example, if Xu Zheng had not been scared and released "Lost in Thailand" to compete with "The Great Wall", "Lost in Thailand" would have had a chance to surpass "The Great Wall" and take the second place in the historical box office.

Don’t even think about getting 12 billion at the box office like in the original time and space. Being released at the same time as "The Great Wall", it doesn't have such a good environment to impact the box office.

On the day the movie was released, Li Yu held a celebration banquet.

The performance of "The Great Wall" far exceeded the original expectation of 500 million yuan. Not only did it not suffer a small loss, but it also made a huge profit. A celebration banquet must be arranged, and we cannot be stingy.

Li Yu booked a hotel to hold a celebration banquet.

Reporters gathered at the hotel entrance because in addition to the starring team of "The Great Wall", many celebrities in the circle were also there.

Needless to say, the purpose of those celebrity artists' coming here is definitely to meet Li Yu, the popular director.

Many brave ones even gave Li Yu some hints in person.

However, Li Yu was not very interested in these young actresses, not because he was not good enough, but mainly because he had higher requirements for his future films. To be frank, few of those young actresses had acting skills.

If you want to make progress, your business skills must keep up.

Director Qi arranged the stray dog ​​at the entrance of the village to be a police dog, and it had to be the most powerful one in the village.

Wu Jing, who had long wanted to meet Li Yu, learned in advance that there would be such a celebration banquet, and he took the initiative to ask Da Tiantian if he could attend.

So Da Tiantian brought him along.

As soon as he entered, he saw Li Yu surrounded by a group of female goblins, which gave him a sense of déjà vu as if Tang Monk fell into the Spider Cave.

He felt a little sympathy for Li Yu. It was so miserable. If he were asked to bear this pain instead of Li Yu, he would definitely do it without hesitation.

"Wu Jing, you are finally here."

Li Yu's eyes glanced at Da Tiantian and Wu Jing walking towards him, and he finally found a reason to get rid of these actresses.

When Li Yu walked towards him, Wu Jing could feel many unfriendly eyes gathering on his face.

Although he did not get the opportunity to replace Kung Fu Boy Li Yu to break into the Pansi Cave alone, he gained the unanimous hatred of the female goblins in the Pansi Cave.

Rounding it off, he received the same treatment as Li Yu.

After all, liking someone and hating someone have one thing in common: you are impressed by this person.

"Director Li, I came at the wrong time. The way they looked at me just now was a little scary."

Wu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He didn't dare to say that Li Yu had caused him so much trouble.

"It's okay. As long as you make Wolf Warriors well, no matter where you go, you will find that the world is full of good people, including those people just now."

Li Yu quoted Huang Bo's wise words.

Then, without waiting for Wu Jing to respond, Li Yu asked again: "How is it? Are there many artists and investors in the industry who are interested in your "Wolf Warrior" recently?"

Wu Jing was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened.

Hearing what Li Yu said, it seemed that Li Yu had anticipated this.

Is it...

“Could it be that Miss Jing invested in Wolf Warrior and Director Li is optimistic about Wolf Warrior…”

“That’s right, I had someone leak it on purpose, and I also had someone hire internet trolls to hype it up.

Of course, the Internet trolls can only play a leading role, and most of the discussions and enthusiasm are real.”

Li Yu did not think that the navy was a terrible thing.

Marketing is a very important job, and water army is a part of marketing.

He hired the Internet trolls just to hype up Wu Jing's movie, and he didn't engage in false propaganda to deceive the audience.

Is it true that Datiantian’s company invested in “Wolf Warrior”?
Is it true that Li Yu is optimistic about "Wolf Warrior"?

He just made public what he did with Da Tiantian.

Because of their special identities, they attract attention from both inside and outside the circle.

"No wonder, I was wondering why it was so strange, I didn't mention it to anyone else after I discussed the cooperation with Miss Jing.

How did it suddenly spread to all my friends? It turned out to be Director Li’s work.”

Wu Jing said admiringly.

"The popularity of a movie is very important. If the audience knows there is a movie called Wolf Warrior, then the movie itself is halfway to success."

Li Yu said seriously.

The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys.

With a little manipulation behind the scenes, Li Yu helped Wu Jing save a lot of publicity expenses.
