The greatest representative work seems to be "The Most Beautiful in Chinese Drama".

I have to say, for an actress who is already in her forties, it's a bit of a failure.

Of course, Zeng Li has played several roles that left a deep impression on her fans.

But Director Wei is not her fan.

Just a fan of her looks.

So Director Wei didn't know much about her unsuccessful acting career.

"It's okay, Sister Li, from now on, 'An Jia' will be your masterpiece."

"Are you confident about 'An Jia'?"

Director Wei laughed: "Sister Li, what are you saying? Have I ever failed in filming?"

Zeng Li couldn't refute it.

Director Wei has never failed.

Director Wei's worst film would be a masterpiece for other directors.

"Besides, with the current popularity of Yang Yang and Liu Shishi, 'An Jia' will be a hit from the start."

Zeng Li nodded and said, "Yes, they are really popular now. They also caught up with the release of Wolf Warrior 2. I didn't expect that the United States didn't cause any trouble this summer, but the sinister country actually did.

With this favorable trend, I am afraid that Wolf Warrior 2 will not be able to break through 30 billion yuan.”

Since 2016, the international environment facing China has indeed deteriorated.

During the summer of 2016, China was in a head-on confrontation with the United States.

During the summer vacation of 2017, friction began again between China and the sinister country next door.

There are always some rational people who ask why the whole world dislikes you? You need to reflect on this.

Reflect on an eggplant.

The reason is simple.

Because you have become stronger, but you are still not strong enough.

If you are as powerful as the United States, no one will dare to mess with you.

It’s not strong at all. It’s no big deal to just be America’s little brother.

It just so happens that although you have become strong, you are not as strong as the United States, and you are unwilling to be a loyal younger brother of the United States.

If not you, who else should I mess with?

Director Wei knew this was just the beginning.

This kind of thing will continue to happen in the next few years.

Therefore, the risk rate of foreign-related business in the next few years will be extremely high.

Almost all the Fortune 500 companies took turns insulting the flower.

Celebrity signing and terminating contracts has become a daily routine in the entertainment industry.

This is also the reason why Director Wei wants to have a deep bond with Musk.

In the next few years, unless he makes an exchange of interests, he will have to continue to dominate the country.

And it will definitely face suppression from the United States.

Only when we are all in the same boat can we have the opportunity to walk the tightrope in an increasingly dangerous international environment.

The current environment will indeed give rise to a situation: Zeng Li’s judgment is correct, and there will be more and more military-themed movies that will become big hits in the future.

Because the more difficult the international environment is, the more intense the domestic patriotism will be.

This is irreversible.

Therefore, Director Wei does not think that patriotism is a business, but making patriotic films will definitely be easier to make money in the future than making films of other themes.

To put it bluntly, it was all due to the external environment.

This situation will not change until 2022.

Because in 2022, Edinburgh, the international economic and financial center, will single-handedly destroy the patriotic enthusiasm of many people and make them realize that this world is truly a rotten world. "Wolf Warrior 2" would have been a huge hit if it had been released in the summer of 2017.

If it is released during the summer of 2022... Director Wei would think it would be a miracle if the box office could exceed 30 billion.

Some feelings will not be destroyed by foreigners, but will be destroyed by your own people.

So timing is really important. The release of "The Great Conquest" was a good one. The release of "Wolf Warrior 2" was not as good as "The Great Conquest", but the neighboring sinister country provided a perfect assist.

In addition, our country does not dare and does not want to offend the United States, so the South China Sea standoff has not actually been publicized on a large scale, and the popularity was all created by Director Wei with money.

But we are not inferior to the sinister country next door, and the official authorities have made a lot of publicity about it.

This directly led to the official boosting of the popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2".

It saved a lot of publicity costs for "Wolf Warrior 2".

Although "Wolf Warrior 2" is not about fighting against the sinister country, it doesn't matter.

I can only say that if the villain boss of "Wolf Warrior 2" was set to be the sinister country next door, it would be more explosive, but it is still explosive.

Thinking of this, Director Wei felt a little regretful.

He didn't think about this at all. If he had thought about it, he would have reminded Wu Jing and asked Wu Jing to make the background of "Wolf Warrior 2" sinister.

If this is done, "Wolf Warrior 2" may really have a chance to replicate the box office miracle of "The Great Conquest".

Of course, it's not bad now either.

Therefore, Yang Yang and Liu Shishi who co-starred in the show also became extremely popular.

They are also the leading actors of "An Jia".

So Director Wei is planning to take advantage of the popularity this time.

"Sister Li, after An Jia became a hit, if you were to take on more roles, you could also take on some patriotic themes.

In the next three to four years, the market for patriotic dramas will more than double, and the international environment will become increasingly hostile."

Zeng Li nodded and said, "I've noticed that more and more major companies in the industry are developing patriotic dramas."

There is no shortage of smart people in the industry.

Moreover, the huge success of two consecutive military films, "The Great Conquest" and "Wolf Warrior 2", plus the fact that the box office of "Operation Mekong" broke 10 billion, actually explains a lot of problems.

Capital doesn’t care about patriotism or not; what capital wants is to make money.

If patriotism can make money, capitalists will be more patriotic than ordinary people.

Therefore, in the next few years, capital will focus on dramas with patriotic themes.

This is the mainstream trend.

Even people on the fringes of the entertainment industry like Zeng Li felt it.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Wei, others are filming patriotic dramas, but you're filming 'An Jia'. It's a bit contrary to the trend."

Zeng Li said: "'An Jia' is not a play that praises people's achievements, but rather it seems to be finding faults."

Director Wei laughed: "What do you mean by a little? Be more confident and remove the word a little."

Zeng Li: ...Director Wei said calmly: "Don't worry, it won't affect anything.

Deep love and responsibility.

We are not deliberately smearing anything, we are just filming the actual situation.

What can't be said? A great man once said that we should seek truth from facts. There isn't a single bad person who broke the law in "An Jia"; what are we smearing? Don't be afraid."

Zeng Li: "...I was worried because you didn't set up any villains in "An Jia"."

In the past, whether it was a movie or a TV series, there would always be a villain to bear the audience's anger.

Moreover, when it comes to sensitive topics, the villains are basically just businessmen.

You have to be a big businessman.

Including some anti-corruption dramas and official dramas, even if the final boss is a high-ranking official, he must have been bewitched and dragged into the water by some businessmen.

In short, businessmen can take the blame.

It's not possible to go any higher.

This is already the default rule.

But Director Wei didn't do that.

In "An Jia", no one takes the blame.

There are no bad guys.

There is only the tragedy of one generation.

The success of a few.

and the rise of a nation.

Everyone is fighting within the framework of the rules.

Maybe those businessmen were not good people, but they definitely did not break the law.

However, there are many tragedies in "An Jia".

After watching these tragedies, the audience will definitely feel angry.

In the absence of a villain, who will bear the audience's anger?

Why are there so many tragedies when no one has broken the law?

Zeng Li didn't dare to think about it too much.

It already feels extremely terrifying.

Director Wei remained calm.

"What are we worried about? We are upright and honest, and our actions can withstand the scrutiny of the people. Our principles are entirely based on reality.

If anyone has doubts, let them produce evidence.

In a society ruled by law, speech is free and it's no big deal."

"Mr. Wei, I feel like you're speaking in a sarcastic tone right now."

Director Wei sighed, "I'm telling the truth, but Sister Li, you think I'm being sarcastic. That's a problem. But I'm definitely not wrong, because I'm telling the truth."

Zeng Li didn't dare to communicate with Director Wei anymore.

I was afraid that Director Wei would tell the truth again.

So Zeng Li blocked Director Wei's mouth.

"Sister, you've had enough rest. Let's continue."

Mature women have good physical strength.

Director Wei can only continue to work hard.

I can't let my sister down.

……

In those three months, besides securing the sister, settling the harem strife, releasing "Wolf Warrior 2," and wrapping up "An Jia," Director Wei also had time to attend to a minor matter. The production of "Better Days" was officially launched.

After filming "The Legend of the Ghost", director Lu Renjia has been thinking about what his next film should be.

When Director Wei's company found him, Lu Renjia felt what a surprise was.

Once again, a pie fell from the sky.

And this pie is not difficult to eat.

Because youth films are one of the easiest subjects to shoot.

So you will find that many new directors start their career with youth films.

For example, Zhao Wei's "So Young".

For example, Su Youpeng's "Left Ear" is comparable to He Jiong's "Gardenia Blossoms".
