Chapter 622 Easter Egg in Wolf Warrior 3
At the end of "Wolf Warrior 3", the unwilling Dr. Ita made a last-ditch effort and fought Liu Peiqiang, contributing a relatively exciting fight scene.

However, when Dr. Ita thought he could easily defeat a warrior like Liu Peiqiang with his genetic modification abilities, he was surprised to find that things were not as simple as he had imagined.

Because Liu Peiqiang was also a reformed soldier!
The special potion from "Demon Blood" greatly enhanced his physical fitness and recovery ability, and also gave him the ability to have high-temperature blood (see Wolf Warrior 1 for details).

When Liu Peiqiang's hands emitted a crimson light, easily burning off the wooden tentacles released by Dr. Ita, the doctor uttered a desperate accusation.

"You are all hypocritical liars!"

They spout platitudes about morality, ethics, and genetic safety, but in reality, they're all researching genetically modified weapons!
You're like that, and so is that American.

In despair, Ita activated the self-destruct program, knowing that under the current circumstances, he had absolutely no hope of turning things around.

The secretly constructed laboratory began to collapse. Liu Peiqiang, carrying core data and surviving modified individuals, rushed out of the inferno. Those warriors who had been used as weapons were later transformed back into ordinary people who longed for a normal life with the help of Chinese scientists. The hidden dangers originally caused by genetic modification were eliminated.

The joint investigation team that temporarily took over the country settled them in a new village built with Chinese aid. Agricultural experts are guiding them to reclaim wasteland, and some rights have been returned to the people of the country.

Zambia is being reborn.

After paying a heavy price, the M army had no choice but to accept the reality of the operation's failure.

Colonel Stanton relinquished all his power and returned home in disgrace. Without powerful backers, he would likely have faced a military court-martial.

As for the coalition government, this incident has highlighted the stark contrast between the two countries' different styles of governance. The participating countries, especially the smaller ones that are not powerful but hold the most seats, naturally know how to choose.

It is an indisputable fact that China holds the dominant position in the coalition government.

Months later, spotlights from the dome at the United Nations General Assembly pierced the stagnant air.

As the big screen lights up, the golden waves of wheat rolling across Zambia, accompanied by a heatwave, come rushing towards us—among thousands of acres of farmland, Chinese agricultural technicians are teaching Zambian youths how to adjust harvesters, while children wearing blue and white checkered headscarves are peering out of the windows of the newly built school building, casting curious glances at the camera.

"Over the next fifteen years, more than two thousand agricultural projects will be implemented in Africa."

The voices of the Chinese representatives echoed in the venue, while the screen behind them switched to a network of highways that stretched like a giant dragon.

"The 40,000 kilometers of asphalt road is not only the mark left by wheels, but also the imprint of civilization moving forward hand in hand."

The deep-water port under construction is a scene of bustling activity, with the slogan "Work hard for 100 days to transform the old appearance" fully demonstrating what China speed is.

"Unimpeded transportation is essential to connecting the people of the world."

The representative slammed his hand heavily on the document, the "White Paper on Global Cooperation and Win-Win Results," causing the microphone to vibrate with a dull thud.
"Famine, war, and disease are never natural disasters, but rather the self-destruction of human civilization!"
When the Sophons lock down fundamental science, and when the Trisolaran fleet cuts through the darkness of space toward Earth, must we continue to sink into the abyss of civilization through mutual destruction?

"Everyone, time is running out for human civilization. We don't know when aliens will arrive, but at least we can solve the problems we have now."

He suddenly held up a yellowed old photograph—in a time of famine, a emaciated child clutching a withered corn stalk.

Look at this child's eyes!

Dismantle trade barriers, share technological advancements, break down barriers, eliminate misunderstandings, unite and help each other, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and strive towards a common goal.

This is the only way for human civilization to possibly survive!

When the vote results were announced, thunderous applause erupted throughout the hall—the initiative had passed unanimously, and the Earth United Government was officially established at this moment under pressure from the Trisolarans, marking the beginning of a new era of crisis for humanity.

Liu Peiqiang stood outside the United Nations building, his wife Han Duoduo and son Liu Qi's cheerful voices coming from his phone. Because the mission was over, he would soon be able to return home and reunite with his family.

On a large screen not far away, the countdown unique to the Crisis Era was flashing, and at the same time, a "five-year plan" involving major countries and forces around the world had been listed one by one.

Industry, agriculture, science and technology, trade, transportation...

Each of these initiatives faces significant challenges and changes, and even the smooth progress of the so-called cooperation remains uncertain.

But in any case, this is at least a good start.

This also signifies that the story of the [Galaxy Cinematic Universe] has entered a new chapter.

The story of "Wolf Warrior 3" ends here. In the first post-credits scene of the movie, a special retirement ceremony was held for Liu Peiqiang.

As a veteran who has been through countless battles, he is still a little unaccustomed to leaving the army, but now he has a small family waiting for him.

After taking off his military uniform, Liu Peiqiang smiled and hugged his wife and children, ready to step into a new life. His code name, "Leng Feng," awaits the next suitable people's hero in the "Wolf Fang" squad.

As for Liu Peiqiang?

Although he seems to want to live an ordinary life with his family, with his abilities, and even his wife's abilities, the country and the people will always need them sometime.

But at least for now, they should be allowed to rest and enjoy a peaceful life.

The second post-credits scene in "Wolf Warrior 3" is still related to the characters in the movie.

Unlike Liu Peiqiang, who retired with honors, Colonel Stanton, who lost an entire carrier strike group due to carelessness, did not have a good time after returning home. He was directly sent to a military court and had to bear all the blame for the military operation.

There may be some blame-taking involved for his superiors and high-ranking officers in the M Army, but Colonel Stanton himself does bear a great deal of responsibility.

Therefore, Colonel Stanton did not appeal or defend himself. He was thrown into prison in a daze, as if he had lost all his spirit.

Then, in prison, he encountered another mysterious man. "Colonel, with your abilities, you shouldn't be locked up here."

The mysterious man said this with a smile, but Colonel Stanton remained silent and even closed his eyes. However, as the end drew closer, it could be seen that his fingertips had slightly transformed into vulture claws.

It seems that Colonel Stanton is not as heartbroken as he appears.

The mysterious person took this into account and, with a smile, tossed out a stack of photos.

These photos were scattered on the table, and the top one featured John Wick, played by Johnny Depp.

Wolf Warrior 3 received a lot of applause immediately after its screening ended.

Viewers were quite satisfied with the final installment of the series.

On the one hand, Wolf Warrior 3 is on the same quality level as the first two films in the series, avoiding the common problem of a high start followed by a decline in quality that often occurs in film series.

On the other hand, "Wolf Warrior 3" gave the series a better ending, instead of forcing a poor conclusion like some movies do for profit.

According to Galaxy Pictures' official statement, the Wolf Warrior series has clearly ended. The characters in subsequent films may have their own stories, but there will be no reunion for Wolf Warrior 4, which is very appealing.

Moreover, after watching "Wolf Warrior 3" and combining it with the first two films, the pacing and scope of the entire "Wolf Warrior" series are in a progressive relationship.

From the brotherhood in "Wolf Warrior 1" to the patriotism in "Wolf Warrior 2", and now "Wolf Warrior 3", the films directly demonstrate the grandeur of a great power and a spirit of benefiting the world and embracing all under heaven.

The key point is that although the movie contains many fictional elements, such as genetic modification, alien invasion, and advanced weapon technology, it is still very much fictional.

However, much of the content is something that China has already done or is currently doing.

China's assistance to African countries and its role in international affairs are beyond question; no one would find them fake.

Like many films in the series and by Star River Pictures, Wolf Warrior 3 is an excellent patriotic film. Its excellence lies in its sophistication; it doesn't force a moral lesson on you, but rather simply showcases the things this country has done.

But this kind of presentation, when combined with contrast, creates a clear contrast, allowing moviegoers to understand that China is indeed very kind and responsible in handling these matters.

In response, when the film was released overseas, many media critics heavily criticized its political content, arguing that including political elements as personal projects was disrespectful to the art of filmmaking.

Politics is politics, and art is art; they should not be confused.

However, compared to foreign audiences, most gave positive reviews to the image of a great power presented in "Wolf Warrior 3".

Especially in the African market, although the villain Dr. Ita in the movie is black, the story ultimately reflects the kindness and justice of the local people.

Most importantly, the film presents the African people from an equal perspective, both in terms of plot and cinematic language.

Perhaps Wolf Warrior 3 didn't champion anti-discrimination like many Hollywood movies, nor did it incorporate "equal rights" elements. In fact, many Africans with limited cultural understanding couldn't comprehend the cinematic language, but they could still feel the friendliness and equality conveyed in the film.

The non-discrimination in Chinese people and Chinese works is genuine; we never flaunt it because we have thoroughly integrated the concept of equality for all into our spirit and blood.

In contrast, some places, some people, and some works tend to promote what is most lacking.

The "equality" they portray in their works is precisely a form of inequality, a condescending and altruistic equality, whose underlying arrogance is more severe than anyone else's.

It is because of its magnificent national spirit, equal perspective, exciting battles and special effects, unique story and good reputation.

On its opening day, "Wolf Warrior 3" was like a bombshell dropped into a calm lake, instantly stirring up huge waves and igniting the entire summer movie season, officially ushering in a fierce competition for the season.

3.14 billion!
Wolf Warrior 3 broke numerous film records on its opening day, such as being the fastest to reach 1 million yuan in box office revenue and achieving the highest occupancy rate.

In cinemas across the country, countless viewers were waiting to watch this movie. Seeing that there was money to be made, cinemas immediately rescheduled screenings of some poorly performing films to "Wolf Warrior 3".

At the same time, news about "Wolf Warrior 3" immediately made headlines in major media outlets, with movie channels, military channels, and international channels all giving extensive coverage to the film.

After all, a special movie like "Wolf Warrior 3" is unique not only in China, but also in the world.

It reveals the different political policies and foreign policy styles of China and the United States in the international community, and compares them by using a fictional country.

These kinds of movies are only using the sci-fi aspect of the "StarCraft Cinematic Universe" as a cover; otherwise, if they were to be truly realistic, they probably wouldn't even pass the censorship process.

Of course, things aren't so absolute. After all, it's 2018 now, a time when China and the United States are having disagreements over trade issues.

The fact that "Wolf Warrior 3" was able to pass censorship so smoothly may not be due to the excuse of science fiction, but there may also be deeper considerations at play.

Wang Hao was well aware of this, but he didn't care. He hadn't been to the United States for several years, and he rarely went to Japan or South Korea either. He just stayed in China, so what was there to be afraid of?

In contrast to the official media's vigorous promotion and recommendation with political missions, "Wolf Warrior 3" sparked an overwhelming discussion online, with related topics quickly topping the trending lists on major social media platforms.

The hashtag #EarthUnitedGovernmentEstablished# immediately topped the trending search list. The content about this aspect in the movie was extremely bold, leaving many netizens speechless after watching the movie, yet they also felt it was perfectly reasonable, jokingly calling it the only positive impact brought about by the Trisolaran invasion.

It was precisely because of this popularity, coupled with other films avoiding the release of "Wolf Warrior 3" for the past week or two due to its influence, that the film was released.

Therefore, Wolf Warrior 3's box office performance in its first week was a resounding success. Thanks to its high quality and strong emotional resonance, the box office (including preview screenings) successfully broke through the 15 billion yuan mark that week.

This achievement breaks the previous box office record of 12.9 billion yuan set by Wang Hao's "The Three-Body Problem 1", symbolizing that Galaxy Pictures and the Galaxy Cinematic Universe have created another blockbuster work, once again proving just how powerful a mature film industrialization system is.
