Chapter 516: What’s your level? Comparing with Zhou Yutang?
“You know so much.”
Liu Shishi nodded suddenly, with a look of confusion on his face.
As the big screen on the stage went black, the audience quickly became quiet.
The beginning is a background introduction to the movie.
Xiangjiang is a place with simple folk customs.
More than 600 people disappear without reason every year.
It was discovered that many of these missing persons had their body parts removed by an organization that resells human body parts across the country.
This organization has been mentioned in the plot of "The Lonely Agent", and even when the background introduction of the movie "Slaying the Wolf 2" was introduced, a report of the murder of Teacher Fan appeared in the flash of news footage.
Many of the audience at the scene were fans of Zhou Yutang’s movies. Soon some people discovered this detailed easter egg and started talking in low voices.
"Fan Binbin was harmed by this organization..."
The first 20 minutes of the movie are not amazing, but they can be considered relaxing.
During the conversation between Simon Yam and Wu Jing, he also mentioned Zhou Yutang's destruction of Zhong Wen and Zhong Wu Flour Group in "The Lonely Agent".
The audience who has watched it will naturally smile knowingly. Those who have not watched it will not hinder their understanding of the plot. They just feel a little curious, which in turn arouses their interest in watching the movie.
Then.
In the airport battle, undercover Sir Chen Zhijie, played by Wu Jing, fell into the hands of a criminal group.
The scene shifts to a prison in Tyrande.
Chen Zhijie was tortured until he became unconscious. There was originally a waterboarding scene, but Zhou Yutang felt it was too cruel and brutal, so Chen Musheng had it cut out during editing.
The protagonist's cold cell is in sharp contrast to the luxurious warden's office, which also brings a strong visual impact to the audience.
The camera focused on Zhang Jing.
The suit is straight, the back of his hair is neatly combed, a cigar is held in his mouth, and he is pulling his tie slowly.
Suddenly.
Take a sharp breath, and two white dragons spurt out from his nostrils, his face full of defiance.
Just this moment.
Hormones explode.
Many viewers at the scene were amazed.
When Zhou Yutang heard the suppressed exclamations of many female audience members, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Next.
This is the stage for thugs in suits. Wushuang opens and violently suppresses the prison unrest.
As the plot progresses, Tony Jia’s fierce Muay Thai and Wu Jingjiao’s bodybuilding...
With murderous intent, fight to the end.
The real kung fu of punching to the flesh, hard bridge and hard horse, is very exciting to watch.
In the final decisive battle at the criminal group headquarters, the warden in a white suit walked down the escalator, looking indescribably elegant and carefree.
But behind this elegance, there is a violence like a beast.
Barbeque Pork Fen listened to the exclamations from the audience around her and stared at her husband,
"What are you looking at?"
Zhang Jing was a little puzzled: "Is there something on my face?"
Barbecue Fen squinted her eyes and smiled: "Husband, I didn't even notice, you are so handsome ."
"..."
Zhang Jing shook his head helplessly: "It was all Director Zhou's idea, and it seems to have worked well."
The effect is more than good.
Just looking at the reaction of the audience, they actually felt sorry for a villain. Regardless of the final box office performance of the movie, the role of the suit thug warden can definitely be regarded as a success.
The story is exciting throughout.
In the end, the little girl was saved, the villain Liangliang, and justice defeated evil.
The melodious music accompanying the movie gradually soothes the audience's spirit.
The applause was so overwhelming that it seemed like it was going to break through the dome.
The host Xie Nan pointed the microphone at Zhang Jing and said with a smile: "Congratulations Zhang Jing, I think through watching the movie just now, everyone can feel that you have created a very charming character. I'm curious, how did you decide to take on this drama? What special feelings did you have during the filming process? Can you share it with everyone?"
"There are quite a lot of feelings."< br>
Today's Zhang Jing is also dressed like the suit thug in the film, but his behavior is undoubtedly much more elegant: "Actually, when Director Zhou asked me to act in this drama, I didn't even read the script and agreed directly.
Later I joined the team. When filming action scenes, director Chen Musheng was very demanding. He wanted the action to be realistic and exciting. As a result, many accidents happened. Ligament strains were common. I was afraid that my wife would be worried, so I didn’t care. Dare to let her come to visit the class..."
"The same is true for Wu Jing. During the filming of a fight scene, he even injured a bone and was admitted to the hospital. Director Zhou happened to be in Hong Kong on a schedule at that time, and everyone came to visit..."
Barbecued Pork Fen His eyes were soft, and Xie Nan also glared at Wu Jing.
Men, it seems like this, always report good news but not bad news.
"Director Chen, what do you want to say?"
"I have cooperated with Yu Tang several times."
Chen Musheng's speech was very direct: "I want to say that he is really the most amazing genius I have ever seen. He wrote the script of "The Lonely Agent", including "Slaying the Wolf 2", he is also the producer, and the role of Zhang Jing was created by him." The styling, movements, and various details were all his ideas, and the later editing also gave me a lot of help."
"Of course, I also want to thank Zhang Jing, Wu Jing, and Tony Jia for their work. Wonderful performances, as well as the rest of the action direction team. It was not easy to film this movie, and everyone worked hard.” Li Zhongzhi, winner of the Best Action Design Award.
It can be said to be the top team in the circle. Plus the entire crew.
It is the dedication of these people that created the thrilling visual effects of this movie.
While Zhou Yutang was taking a break from her busy schedule to spend time with Liu Shishi, the film reviews and discussions on the Internet were already fresh.
“Compared to the first part of Sha Po Lang, the fighting scenes are not weaker at all, and even overall, it looks more enjoyable.”
“The foreshadowing is a bit interesting, it seems to be similar to "The Lonely Hero" The plot of "Agent" is related, but starting from the prison part, when the warden appears, the movie is simply amazing. I have to say that Zhang Jing's character is very handsome."
"Very exciting. I can finally enjoy some good movies.”
"Many people have underestimated Director Chen Musheng. He is definitely the most noteworthy director in Hong Kong. He has collaborated with Zhou Yutang on several films, all of which were very successful at the box office!"
"The role of a thug in a suit is so stylish. , I'm really afraid that Zhang Jing will beat Wu Jing to death."
"This movie can be said to be the highest level of fighting scenes in Chinese movies, especially the prison riot and the long shot of the warden. Completely explosive!”
In the summer season where films are competing against each other, this hearty and enjoyable action film seems to have given a shot in the arm to the entire film market.
Film critics, forums, and post bars all received unanimous praise.
"Tiny Times" has been hyped like crazy, and the promotion of "Slaying the Wolf 2" has also been fully launched, and the momentum is not weak at all. It is just a commercial movie, and it will ultimately rely on the box office to speak for itself.
Countless pairs of eyes in the industry are staring at the box office performance of "Slaying the Wolf 2".
Zhou Yutang was fully charged in Shi Shi and returned to the crew to start filming.
While the crew was taking a break, Ni Ni came over with excitement and reported: "Boss, there is news from Sister Shuang. The first day of release of "Slaying the Wolf 2" includes midnight screenings. , earning 78.5 million box office in a single day!"
"Congratulations to Director Zhou on the box office success."
Everyone in the crew congratulated.
"Boss, it's better than "Little Times"!"
Reba's cheerful voice made Zhou Yutang feel happy.
If Guo Xiaosi doesn’t accept it, then beat him until he does.
“How is it possible!?”
Guo Xiaosi looked at the box office data sent by his studio staff, and his expression changed from a daze, to stiffness, to shock.
As if he couldn't believe it, he looked at the box office data over and over again, and finally his expression was blank.
Looking at this summer’s schedule.
No. 1 in film rankings!
Number one in attendance!
No. 1 at the box office in a single day!
Number one in word of mouth!
Guo Xiaosi's body, as thin as a monkey, was almost completely sunken into the large leather seats. After a long time to recover, he asked his hot-blooded male assistant: "What did Yang Mi say, can I participate in the movie?" Roadshow promotion? "
"Director Guo, there is a drama in Jiangdong, and Yang Mi has a very tight schedule."
"She is too unprofessional!"
Guo Xiaosi slapped the table, thinking of the intimate photo Yang Mi and Zhou Yutang had posted not long ago, and swallowed back his anger.
Forget it, Zhou Yutang’s people, he didn’t dare to move, and immediately called Zhang Zhao of LeTV Pictures:
“Mr. Zhang, how come our film schedule is so low? "
"No way."
Zhang Zhao sighed: "The theaters are very realistic. Zhou Yutang must have informed the theaters in advance that "Slaying the Wolf 2" will be released. On the first day, we got 43% of the films scheduled, and it will definitely be even higher.”
Since the release of "Tianji·Fuchun Mountain Residence", the total box office has been 285 million, and the single-day box office has dropped to more than 200,000. It has been nailed to the pillar of shame of bad movies.
After "Tiny Times" fiercely harvested fans at the box office in the first few days, its reputation and attendance plummeted. Although there were still fans who were supporting it, the single-day box office data dropped to a disgraceful level.
“Then can we spend money to do public relations work for the theaters?” Guo Xiaosi frowned.
“.”
Zhang Zhao answered with silence.
He really wanted to say, what's your level, and what's Zhou Yutang's level?
People’s hands and eyes can reach the sky.
Including China Film Han Sanping, Wanda Ye Ning, and Shanghai Wu Heru
The leading theater chains in China are either relevant stakeholders or have a close relationship with Zhou Yutang.
A national-level running man variety show, specially made a special episode of "Slaying the Wolf 2" in conjunction with the movie. When I was a kid, I had to queue up to get in!
What do you use to fight him?
But thinking that we are now friendly forces, we still can’t say too harsh words. Zhang Zhao changed his words to euphemistically said: "Director Guo, this is not realistic. The theaters only look at who can make them more money. We have already made a lot of money from this movie.”
Zhang Zhao, who once helped Wang Changtian make Enlight Pictures bigger, understands a truth.
The pie in the movie market is so big, and the competition among movies released at the same time is extremely cruel.
Judging from the movie's reputation and attendance, as long as "Slaying the Wolf 2" can be stable, the schedule of "Tiny Times" will undoubtedly be further compressed.
Guo Xiaosi and Zhang Zhao are paying attention to the box office trend of "Slaying the Wolf 2".
Countless pairs of eyes in the circle are also staring at the box office data.
On the second day after its release, "Slaying the Wolf 2" grossed 75.38 million at the box office, reaching a box office of over 150 million in two days.
On the third day, the total box office reached 233 million.
Watch the best in the summer season.
At this moment, the film and television industry has completely exploded.
