"The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is the kind of movie that touches people's hearts with its emotional power.

This is not a purely commercial film, of course, it is definitely shot as a commercial film.

But emotional power plays a big role.

The emotions portrayed in the film hit the audience's heart, and "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was able to easily resonate with the audience, making the film a pantheon.

Any movie that can reach the altar must be able to move the audience.

Wei Jun hopes that "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" can do so.

So the King of Wei used Zhu Lin.

Compared with other editors, Zhu Lin is very good at emotions.

Da Tiantian was able to listen to Wei Jun's words.

However, Da Tiantian still has no idea about signing Zhu Lin.

Senior Sister Zhu Lin must be following her teacher, and the cost of poaching her is too high.

If you want to continue working with her in the future, you should just invite her directly."

Da Tiantian said.

Wei Jun nodded. "That's fine. Senior Sister Zhu Lin isn't a panacea either. If I really wanted to shoot a purely commercial film, I wouldn't hire her as the editor."

The classic commercial films are those that are made purely for fun, without any connotation, and the box office is the only guiding factor.

Wei Jun does not discriminate against this type of movie, and he will make such movies in the future.

Such movies are actually easier to make money, but their reputation will be relatively poor and it will be difficult for them to become popular.

Zhu Lin is not very good at editing this kind of film. "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is not a purely commercial film. After all, the background of the story is very tragic.

This is determined by the subject matter, so Wei Jun has never thought of changing it.

Each subject has its own way of shooting.

Since the story of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" has the power to move people, why must it be made into a mainstream commercial film?

"By the way, Director Feng's '6' is scheduled to be released on June 25th here?" asked Da Tiantian.

Wei Jun thought for a moment, then curled his lips and said, "We'll release it on June 28th."

Da Tiantian widened her large, kazilan eyes. "Only three days? Wei Jun, it's too obvious. Aren't we clearly challenging Director Feng?"

"I've never denied that."

Wei Jun admitted it directly.

Of course, it’s a direct fight.

This is the effect he wants.

Da Tiantian: “…Mr. Wei, when two tigers fight, one is bound to get hurt. This is too unprofitable.

They are all blockbusters, why do they need to clash with each other?"

Wei Jun chuckled, "They're both blockbusters, sure, but Feng Xiaogang's 1942 was made for himself, not to please the audience. Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave is different. Although equally tragic, the audience will definitely feel a sense of heroism and pride after watching the movie."

We're both telling a tragic story, and we're inherently superior, so of course we have to compete, otherwise how can we highlight the effect? ​​"

Da Tiantian couldn't hide her surprise: "Are you determined to confront Director Feng head-on? That would be very offensive."

“It’s a matter of time. The older generation of directors likes to let the young people take their time. They want to wait a few decades before handing over the throne.

But who among the young is willing to wait? Besides, inheriting the throne is so boring. Overthrowing the throne is what I pursue.

Besides, it's just fair competition, how can I offend anyone? Even if he's mean, am I afraid of offending him?

Wei Jun thought very clearly.

Since we are going to compete with each other at the same time, why should we be humble?

Either you kill me or I kill you.

Hand-to-hand combat will be the end of it.

"By the way, has Director Feng invited us to attend the premiere of '1942'?" Wei Jun asked.

Da Tiantian: "No." Wei Jun tutted his words and said, "That's not generous enough. Let's send an invitation letter to Director Feng."

Da Tiantian: "...Let's just forget it. Director Feng has a bad temper. After all, his nickname is Little Cannon."

"Then let's send an invitation letter to the two Mr. Wangs. Oh, and also to Wu Ershan, the director of Painted Skin 2."

Director Wu was considerate enough to move "Painted Skin 2" to the Lunar New Year holiday, and Wei Jun was very grateful.

So he hoped that Director Wu could come to the premiere to watch the movie "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

This way, after watching it, he might think that withdrawing the film from the schedule was a wise choice.

Wei Jun felt that he was really too kind.

6 month 26 day.

Wei Jun and Da Tiantian dressed up in disguise and contributed two box office tickets to "1942".

After reading it, Wei Jun felt that he was really stable.

It was no different from the "1942" he had seen in his previous life.

It must be said that "1942" is definitely not a bad movie.

But this is not destined to be a movie that can get high box office.

Because it was too cruel. The story of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is also very tragic, and in the end there are only thirteen people left alive.

However, the focus of the story of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is the Han people's unyielding spirit and the pride and majesty of the Han Empire.

Fight, rescue, the Han Dynasty will not abandon any soldier who defends the country and guards the border, and the soldiers who defend the country and guard the border would rather die than betray the Han Dynasty.

Blood is a symbol of glory.

After watching "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave," you won't feel humiliated, but proud. "Nineteen Forty-Two" is different.

This movie really tells the story of an era when people were living in poverty.

The Kuomintang government was extremely dark, the people were eating their own children, and corpses were everywhere.

The Central Plains of China were sinking, with powerful enemies outside and cruel officials inside, as well as natural and man-made disasters. The Chinese people saw no hope at all.

There is naturally meaning in making a movie like this.

But expecting it to be a box office hit?

Unless the sun comes out in the west.

Even if the director is Feng Xiaogang, it is impossible to do it.

Not only Wei Jun felt that things were stable, but even Da Tiantian felt that things were stable.

"'1942' is so brutal. It's completely different from Director Feng's previous films. The change is huge."

Da Tiantian said, "I feel very uncomfortable watching this."

"That's normal. Audiences who like Feng Xiaogang's films tend to go for comedies. It would be strange if they liked Feng Xiaogang's tragedy."

Wei Jundao.

"Director Feng, doesn't he know this?" Da Tiantian asked curiously.

Wei Jun smiled and said, "Director Feng has already achieved success and fame. Of course, he doesn't want to make movies for the audience anymore. He now wants to make movies that he likes, so the box office is destined to teach him a lesson."

fair enough.

As they expected, the box office performance of "1942" fell far short of expectations.

Even if the quality of the movie is really good, the audience's intention to watch it is very clear: they just don't want to watch it.

The little cannon was very disappointed.

The Huayi Brothers were even more disappointed.

Because of the box office failure of "Nineteen Forty-Two", the stock price of Huayi Brothers plummeted terribly, and the evaporated market value was enough to make several "Nineteen Forty-Two" films.

This made the two Mr. Wangs very distressed.

Despite this, they still attended the premiere of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave".

Both Wang Zong are decent people.

Since Wei Jun has sent them an invitation, it would be disrespectful for them to refuse it.

No decent person would do such a thing.

Wuershan also came to show his respect.

Not only him, almost all the leading actors of the "Painted Skin 2" crew came.

Zhao Wei and Chen Kun were called by Huang Xiaoming, Zhou Xun was called by Jackie Chan, and Da Mimi was called by Wei Jun.

Although this is only Wei Jun's second film, the premiere of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was just as star-studded, even more dazzling than "Nineteen Forty-Two".

After all, people in the circle are not stupid.

When the box office of "1942" fell short of expectations, "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave", which was already considered by everyone to be the box office champion of the summer season, is now even more popular.

Everyone wants to make friends with a rising director, and the key is that he is still so young.

However, Wei Jun has not been in the circle for long, and there are not many people who can talk to Wei Jun.

Da Mimi got to know Wei Jun through Yaya.

"Director Wei, I wish your movie a big hit at the box office."

Wei Jun smiled and hugged Da Mimi, then replied, "I believe 'Painted Skin 2' will also be a big hit at the box office."

Da Mimi didn't take it seriously: "Even if 'Painted Skin 2' is a big hit at the box office, it's not my achievement."

This is true. Painted Skin 2 has two female protagonists, Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei.

The movie was a big hit, and Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei were the ones who benefited the most.

No one would think that it was Da Mimi who boosted the box office.

In 2012, movie stars were still much more prestigious than TV stars.

Da Mimi also longs to enter the film industry.

I hope I’ll have the opportunity to work with Director Wei next time.

Da Mimi hinted: Director Wei has scheduled the film for the summer, so Painted Skin 2 has been rescheduled. It would be a great honor to be the leading actress in Director Wei's film.

"If there's a chance, I'll fulfill the promises I've made."

Wei Jun said calmly.

He knew that Da Mimi was hinting that he owed her a heroine.

What a big deal.

There are so many bad movies in the industry that it’s easy to find materials that can be adapted.

After receiving Wei Jun's promise again, Da Mimi felt relieved.

She didn't chat with Wei Jun privately for too long, after all, this was a public place.

The procedures for the premiere were pretty straightforward. Wei Jun had already experienced it once, so he handled it with ease this time as well.

Soon, it was time for dinner.

The lights at the premiere went out, the dragon logo appeared on the curtain, and the movie officially began.

Everyone was focused. The total cost of promoting the film "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" was 3 million yuan.

This is the 2012 year.

This means that if other copyrights are not taken into account, the movie "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" can only be profitable based on the box office return rate alone if the box office breaks records and exceeds 900 million.

It can even be said harshly that if the box office of "The 13 Soldiers Return to the Cave" fails to exceed 1 billion, it will be a failure considering the high cost of the film.

Under such circumstances, the crew of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" still spent a huge amount of money on publicity, which clearly shows their confidence in themselves.

Everyone also wants to see where the confidence of the crew of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" comes from.

The beginning of the movie tells them that. The beginning of "Thirteen Soldiers Return to the Cave" is a war scene.
