Chapter 421: The box office will be several billion more in a few years
"Clap clap clap!"

After the movie ended, Mr. Han was the first to stand up and applaud.

"Director Li, your movie is terrifying. On the surface, the protagonist's family is a parasite, but in fact, the rich family is a parasite that is more harmful to society.

The protagonist's family has no money, so everyone condemns their behavior. The rich family has money, so no matter what dirty things they do, their outer appearance is always clean, pure and kind, and some people believe that they are kind. "

Mr. Han personally prefers commercial blockbusters.

However, he can reach this position because his ability and vision are first-class.

He can appreciate the mystery of "Parasite" and can also see what Li Yu wants to express through the movie.

He sincerely believes that Li Yu's "Parasite" is the best art film that satirizes modern society that he has seen in all his years in the industry, without a doubt.

Li Yu was indeed trustworthy and he made the right investment.

"Director Li, your filming is so ironic. Halfway through, I felt that you were prejudiced against the poor and friendly to the rich.

Because the poor people in the first half are very bad and will do anything to achieve their goals.

Rich people are all naive. It was only after reading the following that I realized I was wrong.

The rich people in the movie are much worse and more hypocritical than the poor.

The rich are not fooled by the protagonist's family, they are indifferent and don't care at all whether a working man is innocent or not.

So they just fired the original nanny and driver."

Mr. Wang from Fiber Optic also gave a very high evaluation.

The quality of "Parasite" far exceeds "The Sun" and "Gone Girl", and its intentions are also higher.

Mr. Wang believes that this movie has great potential and may actually win a big award in Europe.

And this movie is different from "The Sun" and "The Lover".

The highlight of "The Sun" is the role of the heroine, while the outstanding feature of "Lover" is the suspenseful and brain-burning plot with multiple twists.

The movie "Parasite" can better highlight the ability of director Li Yu.

Maybe Li Yu can win a Best Director Award with this movie.

Fan Xiaopang only has a technical secondary school education and she started out to make a living when she was less than 18 years old.

She is very smart, but her intelligence is more reflected in her emotional intelligence.

She really doesn't know much about art.

When asked to comment on the movie "Parasite", she couldn't give a clear answer.

However, even bigwigs like Mr. Han and Mr. Wang have affirmed this movie, which shows that the standard of this movie must be very high.

Before leaving, Mr. Han said with admiration, "Director Li, I am looking forward to the performance of your film at the European Film Festival."

"According to President Han and President Wang, your film is quite impressive. Could it really have a chance to win the highest award at Cannes?"

Fat Fan said a little surprised.

Li Yu had told her privately before that this was the goal.

She couldn't believe it at all.

"Whether you have a chance or not is not up to me, it's up to the jury. If my words count, I'll give you the Best Actress award every year."

Li Yu joked with a smile.

Anyway, in Li Yu's impression, the competitors in 2013 were not that strong.

With the quality of "Parasite", there is hope of winning the Palme d'Or.

But it depends on the actual situation. The biggest variable is his nationality.

If his nationality is French, then the Palme d'Or is almost certain to win.

It is natural for every country's film festival to pay certain attention to its own films.

In addition, the three major European awards also have a certain degree of regional discrimination, but they are much better than the American Oscars.

The Oscars’ discrimination is so obvious that no one is bothered to cover it up.

Europe is relatively fairer. Take the Cannes Film Festival for example. At least China, Silla, and Sakura have all won the Palme d'Or, the highest award in Cannes. Forget about the Oscars. The national master has been striving for so many years and has not even made it into the shortlist.

……

A few days later, the filming of "Wolf Warrior", directed and acted by Wu Jing, was completed.

The post-production of "Wolf Warrior" is of course handled by Hualiu Company.

Hualiu Company has developed over the years, and its editing, dubbing, special effects and other departments are among the best in the industry.

Of course, some extremely difficult special effects cannot be handled by Chinese companies alone, and they need to spend money to find external assistance.

This is normal. Hualiu Company is just a film and television production company, not a special effects company specializing in special effects.

Some very shocking special effects scenes require hundreds of computers working simultaneously to produce them.

For a movie like "Wolf Warrior" that has few special effects, all post-production steps can be completed at Hualiu Company.

Director Wu Jing can go to Hualiu Company to take charge of post-production.

“Director Li, I found that my Wolf Warriors was surrounded by your movies.

There is a "Parasite" in front of us, and a "The Great Wall: Part 2" during the Lunar New Year holiday.

My "Wolf Warrior" can't be released during the Spring Festival, right? It's not good to have fighting and killing during the Spring Festival."

Wu Jing deliberately made a joke.

His "Wolf Warrior" is unlikely to be released during the Spring Festival.

"It would be best if your movie Wolf Warrior is released on October 1st."

Li Yu gave serious suggestions.

"I thought so too. Eleven is best."

Wu Jing nodded in agreement.

The National Day period is very consistent with the theme of "Wolf Warrior".

It's only May now, so there's plenty of time to release it in October.

"By the way, even if Wolf Warrior received good reviews after its release, I would suggest you wait a year or two before releasing the sequel."

Li Yu reminded.

The success of "Wolf Warrior 2" is the result of the right time, right place and right people.

The special events that occurred in the small fish pond in the south have caused people's patriotic sentiment to reach an unprecedented high.

It just so happens that "Wolf Warrior 2" is a patriotic military movie. The protagonist Leng Feng beats up mercenaries abroad, and the plot is quite exciting.

The combination of the two made the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" explode.

Without the bonus of special events, the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" would have been at most or billion yuan.

This is a child of pure luck. Once luck comes, even gods can't stop him.

If "Wolf Warrior 2" appeared earlier and failed to catch up with that wave, it would naturally be a pity.

But the problem was not big. Wu Jing refused to listen to the advice and wanted to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2" in advance. He just needed to write a script for "Wolf Warrior 3" for Wu Jing.

Just write the story of Leng Feng fighting against a Southeast Asian scam group, which is absolutely exciting and passionate.

Perhaps in the short term, Wu Jing will be ridiculed for his YY transition, but in the long run, "Wolf Warrior 3" will become a large-scale documentary, and its value will increase as time goes by.

"Why? The first film was a success, shouldn't we strike while the iron is hot?"

Wu Jing really couldn't understand.

“The domestic film market has developed so fast, there is a huge difference between two years ago and two years later.

The number of screens increased several times from 01 to 10, and has doubled again from 10 to now.

In a market that is developing rapidly, if a sequel is released too soon, the profits will be damaged.”

Li Yu couldn't tell Wu Jing that the box office could have increased by tens of billions a few years later, right?
Even if you bought him a pillow made of pure gold, he would not dare to have such a beautiful dream.
