China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 601 Sincerity is always the ultimate weapon
If it was Wu Jing who didn't listen to Li Yu's advice, he would definitely scold the person who said those words, and then add a comment about how mean he was.

Saying this, at that moment, when he was the most popular and powerful, there would be a large group of people speaking up for him.

Of course he can feel relieved.

But it is very likely that the kind of thing Li Yu predicted will happen in the future.

He is too deeply tied to this character.

If he does something in the future that conflicts with this personality, those who support him today will instantly turn against him and become the ones who mock him.

Many people are like this, they like to create gods and also like to destroy gods.

“I think their criticism is justified. I am just a director who started out as a director. As everyone knows, I was an actor before.

It was so miserable when I was an actor. No one was willing to support me.

At that time, I slapped my thigh and thought that since no one was willing to support me, I could become a director and support myself.

So, we had the previous "Wolf Tooth" and "Wolf Warrior" series.

My original intention of making movies is so simple, and I have a clear understanding of my abilities.

As a half-baked, non-professional director, I can't make a profound and meaningful movie.

I can only make some popcorn movies that make people laugh. I say this just to tell you that Wolf Warriors 2 is a pure fun movie. Just enjoy watching it."

Wu Jing's answer was very humble, and at the end, he added one more sentence.

"I would also like to make some masterpieces with reasonable and exciting plots without any logical loopholes. Which director doesn't want to make such an amazing film? The problem is that I don't have the ability to do so."

Sincerity is always a must-win.

People generally don't hate another person for being bad.

What people hate are those who are not good at talking and like to be stubborn.

Wu Jing frankly admitted that he could not make a masterpiece and could only make popcorn movies.

What he said may not necessarily win the favor of passers-by, but it will definitely not make them disgusted.

For example, why was Director Bi’s “Chasing Dreams in Show Business” ridiculed by so many people?
The fact that the movie is bad is not the main problem.

There are so many directors who make bad movies.

Moreover, as a new director making a movie for the first time, after making a bad movie, he generously admitted that he was inexperienced and made many mistakes. There will definitely be people who criticize him, but the number will definitely be greatly reduced.

The problem is that Director Bi’s movies are obviously terrible, yet he still invited so many big names in the film industry to come out and praise them.

When audiences were so upset by the movie that they wrote bad reviews on rating websites, he insisted that those were all scammers and he would send a lawyer's letter to sue the rating websites.

This kind of operation will cause people to be disgusted.

Da Tiantian echoed, “Wolf Warrior 2 is indeed a popcorn movie, a bit like the foreign film First Blood.

Brother Jing is right. This kind of film is good to watch and it is enough for everyone to enjoy it. "

……

Afterwards, Wu Jing was surprised to find that people praised what he said.

"It's sincere enough. Just tell everyone it's a popcorn movie, instead of following some people's lead and insisting that everyone can't understand it."

"For a director who was originally an actor and doesn't have a lot of experience, it's great that he can shoot it like this."

"Wolf Warrior 2 is indeed a very good and exciting film. As long as you don't delve too deeply into the logic, you will find that the action scenes, gun battles, and tank battles are really good, and the plot is also very exciting."

What followed was that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" broke through the 35 billion mark.

This is already the highest-grossing movie in Chinese film history. What's more frightening is that the box office is still rising at a very fast rate.

Many people are now speculating about how high the final box office of this movie will be.

"Brother Jing, I told you to let your imagination run wild. Was I right? Your Wolf Warrior 2 really made 20 billion or 30 billion, and now it's 35 billion."

Li Yu said with a smile.

Wu Jing himself was very clear that Li Yu was not speaking after the fact.

When he was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", Li Yu jokingly said that he could set his goals higher.

It's just that he didn't dare to believe what Li Yu said at that time.

Looking back now, Li Yu’s prediction was really accurate.

Wu Jing finally saw what it meant to have a sharp eye. So this is what it meant to have a sharp eye.

“Director Li, you are really amazing. Could it be that you have predicted that Wolf Warrior 2 would have the right timing and location?” Wu Jing was shocked.

This is not an ordinary prediction, it is the prediction of a demigod.

"It is foreseeable that as the Guo family becomes more prosperous, the Chinese people's national self-confidence will gradually increase. At this time, movies like "Wolf Warrior 2," in which retired special forces soldiers fight foreign mercenaries, will definitely have a market.

More than a decade ago, a lot of unconfident people on the Internet said that there was still a gap of several decades between us and foreign countries. If you had made a movie about retired special forces fighting foreign mercenaries more than a decade ago, you would have been killed violently.

Strictly speaking, this is not a prediction. There is a saying that goes, "The general trend is inevitable." Good people can see it. I am not so good, I can see a little bit."

Li Yu found an excuse that it was the general trend of the times and fooled Wu Jing.

He couldn't tell Wu Jing that he had seen the version answers and knew that "Wolf Warrior 2" would have the right time, place and people at this point in time.

"You are a little too modest. If you are considered inferior, who is considered powerful?" Wu Jing now admires Li Yu very much.

“Also, last time I told you, I really wanted to fight back against those who said my movies were bad.

I listened to your advice. I didn't argue with them. I said that it was my own fault that I didn't have the ability to produce a masterpiece that would satisfy everyone.

I didn’t expect that many people on the Internet liked what I said. They said I was sincere and dared to admit my shortcomings. ”

Wu Jing found that listening to Li Yu's advice was indeed the right choice.

If he really insisted on confronting those people and said something controversial, there would definitely be a lot of scolding online, and the situation would definitely not be as harmonious as it is now.

"That's right, you have to be low-key. You are an outdated actor who has suddenly become a nationally famous star. You don't know how many of your peers are jealous of you.

If you don’t say anything controversial, they will want to stab you with a knife. If you are looking for trouble, they will want to stab you with a knife even more.”

Li Yu agreed.

If Wu Jing does this, he is heading in the right direction.

"Then will I not be able to always play this type of role in the future?" Wu Jing asked again.

"There's nothing wrong with playing similar roles. The role is the role, and you are you. People can distinguish between film and television works and reality. Just don't over-market yourself in that direction.

For example, Mr. Hou always plays some lewd roles, and his narrow acting range makes many netizens envious.

He is very normal outside the play, and does not say or do things to reinforce his perverted "personality", so everyone knows that he is different in person from the one in the play."

Li Yu corrected.

Wu Jing was attacked because he played Wolf Warrior and also said something about Wolf Warrior outside the play, which led to him being attacked.
