Chinese Entertainment

Chapter 698 Sweeping the National Day

The entire domestic entertainment industry fell into a strange silence, and the online media didn’t know how to report it.

The same problem is that these people are supported and offend most film and television companies. Many media have the shadow of these people behind them.

If we oppose it, we will offend companies like Xingchen Film and Television. Gu Wei, Wang Changtian and Ye Ning together have considerable power.

When the big guys are fighting, how can a small pawn dare to get involved?

Gu Wei, who was in Hollywood, was also following the incident. Seeing this, he continued to post on Weibo:

"The above notice only represents Xingchen Films and myself. We will increase the opportunities to work with artists who behave well.

"Wolf Warrior" is so popular, why don't you go to the cinema to support it?
Even though I have seen it many times, I still want to praise Wu Jing for his good performance. He is worthy of being called a domestic action superstar and a new generation director. He deserves the title, haha!"

"Wolf Warriors grossed over 100 million yuan on its first day, and perhaps the next sequel will be able to break The Wandering Earth's domestic box office record.

To be honest, Director Wu Jing has put a lot of pressure on me. It seems that the next movie can’t be delayed any longer, haha!”

Gu Wei posted two consecutive Weibo posts in a joking tone, and the effect was surprisingly good.

Afterwards, Wu Jing and others posted comments on Weibo with Gu Wei, and many netizens also joined in.

The popularity of "Wolf Warrior" has increased a lot, and the box office has set new records.

.........

Patriotism is actually a simple value hidden deep in the hearts of many people. They don’t talk about it or mention it, and they don’t like to shout slogans.

But if something really happens, and this kind of emotion flows out from the depths of the hearts of the vast majority of Chinese people, it can be gathered into an ocean. The power contained in it is earth-shaking and can shock the world and astonish all countries.

Before the release of Wolf Warrior, who would have thought that such a military action film without a popular star lineup could earn over 100 million yuan on its first day? Even the director Wu Jing and the leading actors in the film would never have dared to dream of it!

But Leng Feng's line in the film, "Whoever offends China will be punished, no matter how far away they are," deeply moved countless viewers.

This has made them the "spiritual shareholders" of "Wolf Warrior". They check the box office results every day and recommend it to everyone around them, wishing that everyone they know would go and watch it.

This is the key factor in the box office success of "Wolf Warrior"!

It has brought out the patriotic sentiments hidden deep in the hearts of the Chinese people. In the past, they were poor and weak, and they loved it but also felt that they were not doing well enough.

Now, I can finally be proud of you!
What’s more important is that the movie “Wolf Warrior” uses a solid plot and excellent action scenes to impress the audience, allowing them to experience the emotions for themselves rather than deliberately preaching.

Unlike other directors, "It must have a profound meaning", "If you don't cry, you're not a human being", "It's okay if you don't understand it"...

The "Wolf Warrior" that has been improved and upgraded by Gu Wei has naturally drawn good lessons from the success of "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Red Sea" in the original time and space. Even Gu Wei was shocked by the explosive box office potential of this film.

On the second day of National Day, the company collected 1.21 million yuan.

On the third day, the 29th, the daily box office earned 1.35 million.

The film grossed 3.74 million yuan in the first three days of its release. When this data was released, many people's first reaction was to freak out. The first thing they said was, "What the hell, what's going on? This world is crazy. Even the main theme can sell well at the box office."

As a result, whenever the media mentions "Wolf Warrior", the words they use are "explosive word of mouth", "sky-high box office", "filmmakers are scared to death", and "the big director is confused".

Some entertainment media even published a report without even conducting an interview: "The success of Wolf Warriors heralds the end of the era in which the "fifth generation directors" dominated the Chinese film industry. In the past, when director Gu Wei's films grossed over 1 billion, 2 billion, or 3 billion yuan, it could only be attributed to his strong personal abilities. Movie fans support domestic special effects blockbusters.

However, as low-cost films directed by directors such as Ning Hao, Lu Yang, and Xu Zheng have achieved high box office success, it has also proved that the Chinese-language film market has box office potential, and it is not necessary to have special effects blockbusters to have high box office.

Today, "Wolf Warrior" has broken 300 million in three days, proving that it can not only enter the billion club, but also have a chance to hit the 2 billion mark.

While rising stars in the director industry such as Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and Wu Jing have repeatedly gained market recognition, the "fifth generation directors" have repeatedly failed, proving that the Chinese film industry has entered a new era...

The article was titled with the shocking words "Wolf Warrior's box office is incredible, and the fifth generation of directors are collectively stunned." After publication, it was widely reprinted, sparking heated discussions in the industry and among audiences.

After all, starting from the past few years, directors including Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang have repeatedly failed. The art films they made had no box office success, and their commercial films had poor reputations.

The report's statement that the "Fifth Generation Directors" are outdated hits the nail on the head for some movie fans.

Seeing that this news attracted attention, other media went to interview big directors in the domestic entertainment industry.

The first person the reporters thought of was naturally Director Chen.

Unfortunately, director Chen Kai was editing "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" and ignored the reporters who wanted to interview him.

Director Jiang Wen, who made money instantly with "Let the Bullets Fly", accepted media interviews generously and frankly, and jokingly said that he was happy about the achievements of "Wolf Warrior" and that he was happy that a successful military action film could appear in Chinese-language films.

He also mentioned the upcoming release of "One Step Away", saying that it was his first time to try 3D and he used the top-of-the-line Arri Alexa XT m3D camera to shoot it, and he hoped that fans would go to support him. Well, that was another advertisement. After seeing the box office of "Wolf Warrior", Feng Xiaogang refused to be interviewed. The key point was that there was nothing much to say.

What are you talking about? You can't just say that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and each section is stronger than the last.

As for the national master Zhang Yimou, reporters certainly wanted to interview him, but unfortunately he was abroad.

Moreover, Zhang Yimou has reaped great rewards this year. First, he won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and then directed the popular Hollywood IP "Jurassic World".

Even netizens feel that among the fifth-generation directors, only Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen are worthy of their reputation, while the others are getting worse and worse.

Amid this discussion, Wolf Warrior continues to be shown...

On the fourth day of National Day, the daily box office revenue reached 9880 million.

On the fifth day, it earned 9160 million.

On the sixth day, 8580 million was won.

Until the end of the National Day, the daily box office still achieved a good result of 7890 million.

People in the industry were amazed. The cumulative revenue during the seven-day National Day holiday was 7.271 million yuan, which is in no way inferior to the Hollywood special effects blockbuster "Transformers 4" in the summer.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

"Wolf Warrior" swept the entire National Day holiday, and no movie could stop it. Dozens of domestic films in the same period became cannon fodder.

"Isn't it possible to let people live? The average box office is 100 million per day, it's really crazy." Many people sighed.

"With such good grades, he can't possibly apply for an extension key." Someone thought of something.

"I heard that many state units have begun organizing group movie viewings, just like the "Aftershock" that year." Some people also felt terrified.

That’s right, Song Ge has gone there twice to apply for an extension key for “Wolf Warrior”, but unfortunately it was not very smooth.

"You go find Mr. La and ask him to help you by saying that a share of Wolf Warrior 2 has been reserved for China Film."

In Xingchen Film and Television Company, Gu Wei, Song Ge, Chen Guofu and Wu Jing are having a video conference.

When Wu Jing heard the news about the second part, his expression changed. He didn't have much money for the first part and only got a 5% share. Wu Jing had also considered the second part in the past few days and had made up his mind to invest all his assets in it, but he didn't know how to tell Gu Wei.

"When will the second part start?" Song Ge asked. There was no problem in going to La Peikang, but the other party would definitely ask about the details, so they had to discuss the excuse in advance.

"Well, the earliest it can be launched is the second half of next year. You can tell Mr. La a rough time. You don't need to disclose the specific share. We can talk about it when I get back." Gu Wei thought for a while and said.

"Don't worry about the share. Think about it, the box office of the first film was so high, there will definitely be people participating in the second film, and some shares will definitely need to be distributed by then."

"The cost of the next sequel will be even higher, but even with China Film, the maximum number will not exceed two. Wu Jing can invest more then..."

Perhaps thinking of Wu Jing's wealth, Gu Wei continued, "After Wolf Warriors breaks 1 billion, I'll give you an extra 2 points of box office revenue. You've worked hard during this period."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Jing spoke up, "Director, there's really no need. Just follow the contract. To put it bluntly, without the company there would be no me. I won't take advantage of you."

Gu Wei thought about it for a while and felt that it was indeed inappropriate to do so given the Jinling Art Center's share in the middle.

"That's it, I'll give you a big red envelope at the celebration party, haha."

Hearing this, Wu Jing's heart moved. The big red envelopes that Gu Wei mentioned must be a lot. Tens of millions of red envelopes were given out for "Lost in Thailand", not to mention that Wolf Warrior is destined to surpass "Lost in Thailand".

Originally Wu Jing wanted to refuse, but Gu Wei waved his hand and it was settled. At the same time, he made up his mind to give a red envelope of about eight figures.

The others just watched with a smile. Their boss has always been generous, and this year's year-end bonus might be hundreds of millions.

Seven days after the National Day, the box office of "Wolf Warrior" has been declining regularly. Even though government agencies organized group viewings, the number was limited and most of them were concentrated in Jinling.

However, the huge sales of the movie "Wolf Warrior" have attracted some state-owned enterprises.

In particular, units such as the Navy and Golden Shield have been eagerly urging Xingchen Film and Television Company to launch a special effects military blockbuster.

I'm jealous! According to this trend, it's a foregone conclusion that Wolf Warrior will make over 1 billion. If it can apply for an extension, 1.5 billion is certain, maybe even 2 billion.

The Jinling Art Center, which invested 30 million yuan, made a fortune this time.

A conservative estimate is that he could earn hundreds of millions, or even more.

Since ancient times, money has moved people's hearts! !
