Chapter 245 Our Own Hero
“Brother, I’ve read everything on the Internet. Thanks to you this time!
It’s all my fault for saying the wrong thing. It seems that I will definitely speak in front of the camera in the future. Think twice!”
Wu Jing called Gu Wei as soon as the incident was over.
First I thanked him, and then sighed.
"Brother Jing, we don't need to be so polite between brothers.
I think you are quite good now. You speak quickly and say things that others dare not say. You are the real man."
" Haha~ I offended a lot of people when I spoke quickly. "
"There are too many people with bad views nowadays, so you can't just say it just because you tell the truth and offend people."
Gu Wei is still brave. If you like Wu Jing's character, some of his views and attitudes largely coincide with Gu Wei's.
The most important point is that Wu Jing insists that Chinese people can also be very awesome.
For a long time, the domestic film market has been influenced by Hollywood blockbusters, and audiences have been accustomed to the concept of Americans saving the world.
This is a subtle cultural output.
In various movies, when the world encounters a major crisis, it is Americans, or Westerners, who stand up to save the world.
In Wu Jing’s movies, Westerners are often the villains, and Chinese soldiers are the most awesome. I have to say that this is very helpful in cultivating the national self-confidence and pride of ordinary people. help.
After chatting for a while, Gu Wei hung up the phone, picked up the mineral water in front of him and took a sip.
At this time, the filming of the crew has been moved to Hengdian Film and Television City, and he had just finished filming a scene and came down to rest.
After a while, Yang Mi, who was also resting after filming, came over and sat on the small chair next to Gu Wei.
She is wearing a blue and white ancient costume, with glossy black hair hanging down from behind. She has a palm-sized face with delicate facial features, fair and tender skin, and has the elegance of some Jiangnan water town beauties. .
“Tsk, Gu Wei, your fans are really amazing now. You can fight against 4 top traffic figures by yourself, and you even got them to apologize in the end. That’s awesome~”
Yang Mi is a real Internet expert, and she has always been a fan of the online fan wars these days.
Originally I was just watching the fun, and at first I lamented that the fans of this Korean idol group are very powerful and can do anything to protect their idols.
I didn’t expect that Gu Wei ended up later, and then things developed in a dramatic direction. EXO fans were beaten so hard that they were unable to fight back. Several idols who had returned to China came out to speak out one after another. The last scene The Internet war quickly subsided.
“It’s not as exaggerated as Mijie said. It’s just a small friction on the Internet caused by a misunderstanding. The fans’ actions are a bit extreme. I have always believed that the Internet is not a place outside the law. Don’t be so violent. Qi, as I said on Weibo, harmony and friendship are the most important thing."
Gu Wei said with a smile.
He didn't take his online victory too seriously.
To be honest, although he has more fans than EXO, the reason why this online conflict defeated the other party so quickly is entirely because the other party did too much before.
Because of one sentence, Wu Jing was exposed on the Internet, and Pu Jing and other post bars with the word "Jing" were blasted. This arrogant and mindless behavior itself has angered many passers-by and netizens.
After Gu Wei's fans set up a flag to fight back, they immediately attracted the largest number of passers-by and netizens. Therefore, it seems that Gu Wei's fans seemed to be particularly large, defeating the other side like an overwhelming force.
In fact, it is with the help of external forces and the blessing of the general trend.
"You pushed people to the ground and rubbed them in the end. Of course you can say these sarcastic words in an understatement.
Everything a winner says is right~"
Yang Mi did not believe what Gu Wei said. But like everyone else in the industry, she also saw through this incident that Gu Wei was as popular as the overlord of domestic entertainment.
The number of fans is not only large but also very united.
EXO is not a small star. The "Four Returned Sons" are all popular top traffic figures. All kinds of data can prove them. The box office of Lu Han and Li Jiaheng's two movies at the beginning of the year was also You can't fake it.
Without the help of fans, how could those two low-budget romance films earn nearly 300 million at the box office?
The two chatted for a while, and Yang Mi suddenly thought of something and asked:
"What do you think of these people from EXO who returned to China?"
"Why? You ask that?"
Gu Wei was a little confused.
"After [Jiaxing Media] approached you about the movie [I am a Witness], you rejected it, and Zeng Jia discussed it with other producers and invited Lu Han to star in it."
"Oh. , Well, actually, although this incident has conflicts with them, I actually don’t have any prejudice against these people.
Lu Han, I heard that he has a pretty good personality, so I might have a chance. Let’s get to know each other.”
On March 31, the film [Wolf Warrior] held a press conference in Beijing. Director and starring Wu Jing appeared together with the three leading actors, Yu Nan, Ni Dahong, and Shi Zhaoqi.
After the press conference started, Wu Jing walked on stage and said that he wanted to take up some of everyone's time because there were four solo posters of him on the stage. He thought this was not respectful enough for the entire team.
"This movie doesn't belong to me alone, it belongs to the entire crew. There are many actors who have worked hard, so why only my poster is shown?"
Then, he used the knife brought by the staff to insist. Two posters were torn down.
Wu Jing said that the original purpose of filming "Wolf Warrior" was to allow the audience to see a movie that is not a youth film, a horror film, or a science fiction film.
I want to make a Chinese action war drama.
Wu Jing finally filmed "Wolf Warriors", and his wife Xie Nan naturally wanted to support him.
On the same day, Xie Nan also staged a scene that was like a proposal. She knelt down on one knee and held up a bunch of barley that symbolized box office sales and gave it to Wu Jing.
Wu Jingxiao said that he has practiced every muscle but his mouth. Xie Nan just makes up for this, "She is a host. As soon as she comes on stage, I feel that there is no need to use my brain. It gives me a sense of security."
The preparation for [Wolf Warrior] lasted seven years, and the filming period was extremely difficult. Xie Nan laughed and said that he was left out, "After having a child, he only had 20 per day. He spends 10 minutes with his children and spends the rest of his time making movies. [War Wolf] is his eldest wife, and I am like a mistress."
Wu Jing also feels sorry for his wife and son." She has always relied on her to take care of the family, and I have to earn money to support them. My son Wu Suo pronounced the word "Dad" that day, and I was not around. I felt very upset and owed them too much. "
Having said that, Wu Jing still wants to be a desperate man. He joked that he might start filming the jumping scene again in two months. At the [Wolf Warrior] press conference, Gu Wei was unable to attend due to the filming tension of the crew, but he specially recorded a VCR to cheer for Wu Jinghe's film.
On the big screen at the press conference, Gu Wei was wearing a flying fish suit. He was very handsome, and he was obviously on the set.
“Hello dear viewers, I am Gu Wei.
Today is the premiere press conference of [Wolf Warrior]. First of all, congratulations to Jing Ge for the movie that he has worked so hard for so many years to finally be released. Everyone.
Here I wish this passionate hormone movie that combines action, adventure, tough guy, war and other elements to be a hit at the box office.
Ever since I met Brother Jing, I have always been very optimistic about the movies he shoots.
Because I saw that he has been working hard to create the Chinese version of the "lone hero" image, transforming the stereotyped image of Chinese soldiers into a "Hollywood-like superhero".
Everyone is used to seeing individualistic heroes from Hollywood in movies, and now our own heroes are coming soon!
As I said on Weibo before, Brother Jing, you are one of the most handsome men in my aesthetics. You are a tough guy, full of hormones, a real man!
Finally, I hope everyone can come to support [Wolf Warrior]!
Thanks! "
Gu Wei's VCR playback ended, and the audience burst into applause. The media did not expect that there would be such a surprise in today's ordinary movie conference.
Wu Jing was netted a while ago They also knew about the violent incident, and it was Gu Wei who came forward to help him solve it in the end. Now he is sending out VCRs alone at the movie press conference. It seems that the relationship between the two is really unusual.
Secondly. Days, reports are coming out about the upcoming movie "Wolf Warrior"

[The "Wolf Warrior" conference was filmed on the Gu Wei set with a VCR to help promote the brotherhood between a hot-blooded tough guy and a top-notch boy! 】
【Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" will be released on April 2, and five shocking highlights are revealed in advance! 】
【"Wolf Warrior" is about to be released, and the top ten highlights are fully revealed! 】
【.】
On April 2, [Wolf Warrior] will be released nationwide.
The film's box office on the first day exceeded 40 million, and it attracted over 200 million in the first four days, leading "Kingsman" by 20 million, making the weekly box office champion once again belong to domestic films.
[Kingsman] ranked second with a single-week sales of nearly 200 million, with a cumulative box office of more than 350 million.
Released on the same day as "Wolf Warriors", the domestic love movie "Let's Get Married" starring Gao Yuanyuan, Jiang Wu and others ranked third with a box office of 174 million.
Except for these three films, the single-week box office of other films failed to exceed 30 million.
I have to mention here that the second day of the release of "Wolf Warrior", April 3, is also the first day of Qingming Festival, starring Hayden Christensen and Nicholas Kay. "Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape" starring Qi Qi, Liu Yifei, An Zhijie, Jike Junyi and others has been released nationwide.
The filming of this movie was completed in 2013. It changed gears twice and changed its name twice. It was originally called "The Last War", and in 2014 it was renamed "Escape". Later, "Legend of the White Ghost" was added.
After many twists and turns, it was finally released during this year’s Qingming Festival.
A few days before the movie was released, Gu Wei saw the movie promotion video posted by Liu Yifei on the Internet, so he also forwarded it on Weibo. After all, it was Liu Yifei's movie, and with their relationship, he took the initiative to help A small favor is normal.
That evening, Liu Yifei called him and expressed her gratitude for his help.
“Sister Yifei, don’t be too polite, haven’t you often helped me before?
This is a Hollywood movie and it's about to be released. I wish you a big hit at the box office! "
Liu Yifei was a little uninterested in Gu Wei's blessing.
"Hey~ you don't know, countless things happened to this movie from the filming to the post-release. I can't even complain to you.
Now that it can finally be released, a stone in my heart has finally fallen into place. As for the box office, it has little to do with me as an actor. I hope I won’t lose too much."
Gu Wei could hear Liu Yifei's disappointment in the movie from her tone.
She originally went for the Hollywood blockbuster and international movie star Nicolas Cage's name, but she was disappointed in every aspect.
Gu Wei didn't say much. The two chatted for a while and made an appointment to return to the capital to meet again in a few days.
Things tend to develop in the worst direction that people expect. On April 3, the first day of release of [White Ghost Legend: Escape], the box office revenue was only 4.7 million yuan, which is basically negligible in the market. .
In the movie, Hollywood star Nicolas Cage fought heroically, but could not save the fate of this "bad movie".
With the 4-day Qingming Festival holiday, [Legend of White Ghost: Desperate Escape] became a joke in the movie market.
Although this Sino-foreign co-production starred Nicolas Cage, "an old friend of Chinese audiences", the story couldn't stand up to the cliche and childish plot. After the film was released, its reputation was a mess, and it was reduced to market cannon fodder at the box office. The total box office in four days was only 18 million yuan, far less than the domestic films "Wolf Warrior" and "Let's Get Married" in the same period.
As of April 6, the long Tomb-Sweeping Day holiday is over, "Wolf Warrior", which was released for 5 days, has received a box office of 250 million, winning the box office championship during the Tomb-Sweeping Festival without any pressure. The market received a shot in the arm and became a real "wolf" in the film market.
The film achieved this result by virtue of its unflattering military war film genre, which caused shock in the industry and became the focus of heated discussion.
[Wolf Warrior] has not only become a dark horse during the Qingming Festival in terms of box office performance, but also has a very good reputation. Five days after its release, nearly 100,000 people gave the movie a good score of 7.5 on Douban.
[I am very excited after watching this drama. This is the Chinese spirit. Wu Jing’s tough guy image is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. I am looking forward to Wolf Warrior 2]
[I’ve watched too many beautiful boys fall in love and have sex, so it’s very refreshing to watch such a hot movie. The fighting scenes are very enjoyable and exciting. It’s the right time for a pure man, so I recommend it ~]
[A movie that explodes or burns, I want to watch it after watching it, and pay tribute to the Chinese soldiers! 】
【Support the domestic military action movies, special forces are still cool, our soldiers are no worse than those of any other country! The filming was very careful, especially the scene where Wu Jing was hanging under the helicopter was very thrilling! Looking forward to the second part! 】
【Gu Wei's recommendation is as reliable as ever. PS "Desperate Escape" does not count! 】
【.】
Of course, there are also many people who believe that "Wolf Warrior" is Wu Jing's own obscene drama, that is, the anti-Japanese drama about tearing apart Japanese soldiers and putting it on the big screen.
Some people say that Wu Jing won the box office under the banner of "patriotism"!
