Chapter 381: Lively New Year's Day
In fact, the media are not very interested in "Wolf Warrior" directed by Wu Jing. After all, it is a realistic military theme and the story takes place in China, so there are too many restrictions in all aspects.

The main reason why so many reporters came was because of Jiang Heng’s guest appearance.

Firstly, this was the first time that Jiang Heng appeared in front of the public media after "The Legend of Little Soldiers" topped the global box office champion in film history. This alone attracted countless media.

The second reason is naturally curiosity about Jiang Heng's performance in the film. The industry has praised Jiang Heng for his great kung fu skills, and everyone also wants to get a sneak peek and see Jiang Heng's performance in the film.

The premiere ceremony of "Wolf Warrior" naturally had to show the main film.

After the 100-minute film was finished, the media reporters, guests and audience members all found it unexpectedly good.

Yes, the first feeling of most people in the venue was great surprise.

I never thought that Wu Jing could make such a good realistic military movie.

Of course, Jiang Heng’s guest appearance was equally brilliant. Although he appeared as the image in Leng Feng’s memory, he performed very well.

So during the media question-and-answer session after the movie, a reporter asked whether Jiang Heng was interested in considering making a film about special forces, preferably one about carrying out missions abroad.

An audience member who is obsessed with online literature suggested that Jiang Heng could shoot a film about the "Dragon Crew", which would definitely be better than the "Mission Impossible" series.

Jiang Heng naturally dealt with it with a smile.

But Wu Jing seemed very interested in this proposal. At the subsequent reception dinner, he said that going abroad to carry out the mission was a very good idea. Since the story took place in China, there were too many restrictions.

Jiang Heng said: "It's still difficult to do. If it's an individual identity, it's okay abroad, but it's also difficult to pass the review within the organization."

Jiang Heng's judgment was naturally based on facts.

The previous film "Wolf Warrior 2" was so popular at the box office, and at the end of the film, it was foreshadowing for the third part, which was to rescue his girlfriend Long Xiaoyun.

As a result, several years after the film was released, "Wolf Warrior 3" has not yet started filming, which shows that this project is still somewhat difficult.

After dinner, Jiang Heng went back to his home and stayed overnight. He returned to the crew of "Lich War" early the next morning.

Today we are going to shoot the scene of Houyi shooting down the sun, which is considered the most important section in the first part of the film.

In terms of the plot, the ten sons of the Emperor of Heaven acted recklessly and killed many people of the Wu clan, making them complete villains.

Houyi was forced into a situation where he had no other choice but to shoot the sun. The witches were not there, and the other great witches had no good means of countering the Ten Sons of the Emperor of Heaven.

Only Houyi, who is good at archery, can step forward and take on the responsibility of saving all living things on earth.

Ordinary bows and arrows naturally cannot hurt the Ten Sons of the Emperor of Heaven. The bows and arrows used by Houyi in the play are made with a secret method. Every arrow shot at the Golden Crow is stained with the blood of the great witch to exert its greatest power.

At the filming site, Hou Yi, played by Han Dong, was about to cut his palm with an arrow, but Xing Tian, ​​played by Huang Xiaoming, stopped him and said, "You are going to shoot several huge arrows in a row, which will wear you out. You shouldn't get hurt. Instead, use my blood!"

After saying this, he cut his palm with an arrow and let the blood drip into a pottery jar.

Of course, because Houyi and Xingtian in the film are both great wizards more than three meters tall, bows, arrows, pottery jars and other items need to be enlarged in a certain proportion during post-production.

In short, it's quite troublesome to shoot.

In other words, Jiang Heng has the help of a "super microcomputer", and so many young people are familiar with the route.

If any other director were to come in, they would collapse after shooting one film.

However, time passed day by day, and soon it was the Lunar New Year holiday.

The first movie to be released was Wang Jing's "Galaxy Chaser". This movie should be the last to start shooting among all the movies in this year's Lunar New Year holiday.

Yet he was the first to meet the audience in early December. Fatty Wang really lived up to his reputation as a quickshooter!

And the effect of the film is surprisingly good.

After all, "Little Soldier Legend" was only a hit a few months ago, and it also made big news recently that it won the championship in global film history, so the audience already had a deep impression of it.

Fatty Wang was very cunning and used props from the movie "The Legend of Little Soldiers". The same self-propelled gunboats, interstellar battleships and other equipment also appeared in the trailer, which really attracted the audience.

Of course, the storyline is still mainly about the protagonists' training and picking up girls, but with an interstellar war added at the end - fighting pirates.

After some efforts, the protagonists defeated a group of interstellar thieves and soon won the beauty.

The film's routine is exactly the same as Wang Jing's previous "chasing girls" works.

But the New Year is almost here, and the audience really likes to watch movies like this.

On the first day of its release, Friday, the film grossed over 4300 million yuan at the box office, shocking the entire Chinese entertainment industry.

Because this is just a very poor copycat work that is completely riding on the popularity of "The Legend of the Little Soldier".

The cost of the film is not very high, the cast is not too large, and the shooting time is not long. It is a completely unscrupulous money-making work.

But the terrible thing is that they were actually scouted by Wang Jing, which made other directors very depressed.

What’s even more depressing is that the box office on Saturday, the day after the release of “Galaxy Chase”, skyrocketed to 5800 million. This is a bit scary. It exceeded million in two days!
Seeing this result, both director Wang Jing and producer Yu Dong were very happy. The latter called Jiang Heng immediately to tell him the good news.

"Wang Jing has some talent in commercial films. We can try to win him over!" Jiang Heng suggested.

Yu Dong was also quite domineering, "Okay, since you said that, I will give him a big red envelope when the time comes!"

Jiang Heng smiled, "Of course, he made a great contribution to this movie. It can be said that without him, there would be no movie!"

Yu Dong laughed, "Of course, no one else would dare to show your film, except that fat guy, who has a lot of tricks up his sleeve!"

Jiang Heng also laughed after hearing this.

Although "Galaxy Chaser" performed well at the box office, the total box office will not be particularly high. The media estimates that it will be around 600 million.

Because there are so many movies in the Lunar New Year period this year, in addition to "Galaxy Chaser", Bonanza Pictures also has "Lost in Thailand" and "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate".

iQiyi, Youku and Tencent Pictures have "Wolf Warrior" and a small- to medium-budget romance film.

In addition, "If You Are the One 2" directed by Feng Xiaogang is also a very popular movie.

There are more than 20 films including "The New Shaolin Temple", "The Wedding Banquet", "The Magic Couple", etc. This Lunar New Year box office is really lively.

However, what the audience is most looking forward to is "Under One Person" directed by Jiang Heng, which is scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival.

But what the audience didn’t expect was that there were so many good movies during this Lunar New Year holiday.

"Wolf Warrior" gave the audience a rare opportunity to see an excellent realistic military movie. "Flying Daggers of Dragon Gate" is a 3D martial arts film. Although the story is not particularly outstanding, Yu Huatian, played by Chen Kun, is really outstanding.

But what surprised the market and the audience the most was "Lost in Thailand", which became an instant hit as soon as it was released, triggering a wave of movie-watching.
