Since the beginning of this year, [Wolf Warrior 2] has successively begun promotional work before the movie is released.

On January 24, the film released a preview trailer and poster; on May 10, a director's special was released; on June 2, an African version poster and an African special were released; on July 5, the film "Start the War" was released. version trailer and full lineup poster; on July 18, the tank drift special and the "Burning for the Motherland" version poster were released, and the release date was officially announced at the same time.

If Wu Jing's previous film "Wolf Warrior 1" was about a poor boy who succeeded in counterattacking when no one expected him, then "Wolf Warrior 2" is like a noble boy born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Everyone knows that he is destined. To get to the top.

First of all, this is the first time that Gu Wei and Wu Jing have collaborated in an action military film. The two are both well-known actors and excellent directors, and each has a blockbuster movie series. This has already attracted a lot of attention.

Secondly, in addition to the three main film producers [Wei Tianxia], [Dengfeng International], and [Spring and Autumn Times], there are also China Film, Enlight, Wanda, Huayi, Bona, Taopiaopiao, and Yaolai Media , Jinyi Pictures, Dadi Times, Hengdian Pictures and other ten joint producers.

The online and offline promotional resources are fully available, and the film arrangement in theaters can also be optimal.

Finally, there are still no good films in the domestic film market. "Wolf Warrior 2" has almost no decent competitors. As long as it is released, it can grab the box office unscrupulously.

Since entering July, various promotions for [Wolf Warrior 2] have continued.

With an investment of 80 million in publicity funds, the help of various producers, and numerous online and offline advertisements, [Wolf Warrior 2] has become ubiquitous.

Audiences who haven't seen any good movies since the beginning of the summer are also looking forward to this rare domestic two-male action military film.

Sunday, July 23rd.

People gathered outside Wanda International Cinema in Beijing.

"Look, it's Yu Chang and Guo Degang!"

"That's Liu Yan, right? She has such a good figure!"

"Liu Xing, Liu Xing is here too."

"What Liu Xing, that's Zhang Yishan!"

"Gulinazaye, she is so beautiful without makeup, so beautiful!"

"Who is this guy wearing a hat? He looks a little strange?"

"It's Zhang Ruoyun, who went to [Master Hua] with Gu Wei!"

"Is that Wang Shicong?"

"Where are they? I'll go, it's really Wang Shicong, and the national husband is here too."

"."

Today is the premiere ceremony of [Wolf Warrior 2]. The ceremony has not yet started. Some celebrities in the industry have arrived one after another, and the venue is filled with stars.

"Master, there are so many celebrities here today!" A young reporter from Nandu Entertainment News stood on the side of the stage with equipment. He glanced around the venue and saw many familiar faces.

"They are all friends of Gu Wei and Wu Jing, and there should be some stars from the producer.

I'm going, Liu Yifei is here too, shoot quickly, shoot quickly! "The slightly older reporter next to him was adjusting the camera in his hand and answered the apprentice's questions nonchalantly.

As soon as I glanced at it, I suddenly saw an extremely familiar figure, and I quickly motioned to my apprentice to take a photo.

"What have you been busy with recently?" Gu Wei, as the main creator of the movie, came to the scene very early. Friends came over one after another, and he received them one by one.

"Filming, I have just finished filming. If you come to me two days later, you may not be in the capital and go to the next crew." Zhang Ruoyun was dressed very simply today, with white short-sleeves and dark jeans. He smiled with small eyes. Yes, he has the temperament of a sunny boy.

"A TV show?"

"Yes, I have been filming [Flower Young Master] before we recorded it. I have been working on it for a year and finally wrapped it up this month." It can be heard from his tone that Zhang Ruoyun is also relieved to have finished filming this drama.

"What drama took so long to film?" Gu Wei was a little curious.

Most of the film and television dramas currently in the industry do not count the pre-production time. From start-up to completion, it can be as fast as one or two months, or as slow as less than half a year. There are very few that can actually be filmed for a year.

It’s not that everyone doesn’t want to work hard, the crew has to spend money, and as long as the camera is turned on, the daily expenses disappear like running water.

Gu Wei's "Nirvana in Fire" was considered a major TV series production, and the team of "Noon Sunshine" was also absolutely dedicated, and it only took less than 4 months from start-up to completion.

"It's a costume historical drama called [The Legend of Huo Qubing]." Zhang Ruoyun hesitated for a moment and frowned slightly. "My father directed it."

"You played Huo Qubing? That's pretty good." Gu Wei had never heard of this drama, but he could see that Zhang Ruoyun didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask again.

Zhang Ruoyun is a second-generation celebrity, and her father Zhang Jian is a well-known director and producer.

The producer, screenwriter, and producer of the movie "Snow Leopard" that made Wen Zhang famous in his early years was Zhang Jian.

Later, he produced the spy drama "Black Fox", which is known as the "Sister Chapter to "Snow Leopard"", and served as screenwriter and director. The starring role of "Black Fox" is the fledgling Zhang Ruoyun.

Although Zhang Ruoyun entered the entertainment industry, his father Zhang Jian gave him a lot of help.

But the relationship between father and son has always been relatively cold.

Zhang Ruoyun's parents divorced when he was very young and his mother went abroad. He grew up in his grandmother's house in Beijing.

His father Zhang Jian later remarried, and his wife was the well-known actor Liu Bei.

Therefore, he grew up in an environment that lacked father's love and mother's love since he was a child, and naturally he was not particularly close to his father.

Gu Wei chatted with Zhang Ruoyun for a while, and suddenly heard a noise at the door.

"Ruoyun, you can do it yourself. I'll go and receive the others." Gu Wei said to Zhang Ruoyun and walked over.

"Sister Yifei~"

Liu Yifei wore a light blue waist-length dress today and a pair of high-heeled sandals. She has a slim and elegant figure.

"I didn't expect you to come today?"

"I just happened to be in the capital for the past two days. I originally wanted to ask you out for dinner, but since you are so busy, I don't have time, so I came here to support you." Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei with a smile on her face.

"I'm going to take up the [Cohabitation in Time and Space] scene. It's a very interesting story. Then we will work together again."

"Indeed, I accepted the script because the story was good. I didn't expect that we would have the opportunity to work together again."

"What, isn't it good to cooperate with me?" Liu Yifei pursed her lips and pretended to be angry.

"Of course, it's the third time I've cooperated with you. This time we can finally have a relationship where we love each other and we like each other." Gu Wei said pretending to be helpless.

The first time the two collaborated in "Xiu Chun Dao", Gu Wei's role as "Shen Lian" was a one-sided effort. To put it bluntly, he was a licker.

The two people working together for the second time in "Tang Detective 2" have no emotional connection at all.

This time [Cohabitation in Time and Space] is finally a more normal relationship.

The two chatted for a few more words. Liu Yifei glanced around and found that there were many celebrities that she was very familiar with.

"It's so important to you that so many celebrities came to support the film's premiere."

"Many of them are artists affiliated with the producer. They come over to show their faces and show their support. It has nothing to do with me."

"The first part of [Wolf Warrior] has a box office of more than 500 million. Now that you are joining us in the second part, it shouldn't be a problem to double it."

Except for "Tang Detective 2", none of the films Liu Yifei has starred in in recent years have a box office of over 500 million. In her impression, any film with a box office of over 1 billion is an absolute hit.

Gu Wei smiled softly.

"Maybe many people have the same idea as you, Yifei, but you might as well be a little bolder. My expectations for this movie are very high!"

"1.5 billion? 2 billion?" Liu Yifei looked at Gu Wei's face and tentatively reported the number.

"You don't think this one will be as big a hit as [Tang Detective 2], it's unlikely that it will be a domestic military film.

The previous box office record seemed to be the first installment of [Wolf Warrior].”

“If the first one set a record, why not the second one.

At present, the domestic film market has such conditions. I have confidence in the film and even more confidence in myself! "

Gu Wei's confident look made Liu Yifei look sideways.

"When other people say this, I think they are bragging, but your words may come true."

Liu Yifei and Gu Wei got to know each other very early, and the other person's first movie in the entertainment industry was with her.

So she watched Gu Wei step by step to reach where he is today, and achieved amazing results one after another under the eyes of everyone in disbelief.

Therefore, Gu Wei is so confident, maybe he can really do it

The chat between the two attracted the attention of many people. Nazha, who arrived early, frowned slightly as she watched Liu Yifei chatting with Gu Weire.

"Sister Yifei"

Nazha already had a smile on her face when she came closer, and she couldn't tell that she was unhappy just now.

She and Liu Yifei are old acquaintances. After filming "Tang Detective 2", they went to Gu Wei's charity foundation together. Their relationship can be called best friends.

However, all the best friends in the entertainment industry understand this. Reba and Nazha are not only best friends but also fellow countrymen.

"Why don't you tell me if you can come? If I had known, we would have come together."

"I just came back from the United States two days ago. I happened to be in the capital and came to join in the fun."

“I’ve been busy with work and haven’t had time to get together during this period. Let’s have a meal together after the premiere is over soon?

Gu Wei, you are coming too." Nazha invited warmly.

Liu Yifei turned around and looked at Gu Wei.

"You guys get together. I have a lot of work here. If I can finish my work, I'll come find you."

Almost everyone has arrived, all the guests and audience members have taken their seats, and the premiere ceremony has officially begun.

The host is Xie Nan, the head host of Guang Guang and one of the "Three Treasures of Guang Guang". Her more important identity is the director's wife.

The creative team came to the stage under the leadership of director Wu Jing.

“When [Wolf Warrior 1] was first released, I said why I wanted to make a movie in the [Wolf Warrior] series.

Many years ago, I watched some Hollywood blockbusters, such as [First Blood], [007], [Mission: Impossible], etc. The Americans were very good, and the British were also very good. They could fight against a hundred. Heaven and earth are omnipotent, and it is up to them to save the world.

I thought at the time, if they can do it, why can’t the Chinese do it?

This was also my original intention to become a director. I wanted to make a story about powerful Chinese people.

[Langya] was shot because of my simple idea.

Unfortunately, the results of "Wolf Fang" were not satisfactory. When I wanted to make "Wolf Warrior" again, no one dared to invest money for me.

I was really at the end of my rope at that time, and no one wanted me to film, and I didn’t have any money to save my own scenes.”

As he said this, Wu Jing glanced at Gu Wei beside him.

“Fortunately, I had two good brothers helping me at that time, and with their unstinting support, I made [Wolf Warrior 1].

It won the love of the audience and the results of "Wolf Warrior 1" were pretty good, so the current film "Wolf Warrior 2" was created.

In the second part, with Gu Wei joining the cast, we also adopted the classic Hollywood duo setting, achieving the ultimate in story structure and action scenes.

The specific results will definitely not disappoint you!

Of course, after watching the first step [Wolf Warrior], you may already know that we Chinese can also be very good.

In [Wolf Warrior 2], what I want to tell everyone is that the Chinese are great not because of how great individuals are, but because there is a strong motherland behind us! "

Wu Jing said a lot. As a director, from script writing, crew preparation, film shooting to post-production, it can be said that [Wolf Warrior 2] has been immersed in his endless efforts.

Now that the carefully crafted work is finally about to face the audience's test and produce results, he naturally has a lot of emotions.

“It was really not easy to film the second part of [Wolf Warrior].

You may not know that almost all our scenes were shot in real locations. For props alone, a 20-ton tank model and a ten-meter-long airplane model were used on the set, and hundreds of vehicles were blown up. The largest one was There were 1,700 people present at the show

In order to restore reality, the director required the explosion shots of airplanes, tanks, off-road vehicles, etc. to be as real as possible. When filming an explosion scene, the director's ears were blown to the point of temporary deafness."

Wu Jing said what his movie wanted to express, and Gu Wei failed miserably. These were all the selling points of the promotion.

Chen Zihe is a professional film critic and a big V on Weibo. He was invited to attend the premiere of [Wolf Warrior 2] today.

He had received a red envelope from the crew before coming. As a professional and ethical film critic, he decided that as long as the movie was not too bad, he would publish a praise article with more than 800 words when he returned.

He has also seen [Wolf Warrior 1]. To be honest, Chen Zihe thought the first part was well shot.

In horizontal comparison, it is already a rare masterpiece among domestic military films.

However, each series of movies is generally not as good as the last. I just don’t know if Wu Jing’s [Wolf Warrior 2] can maintain the level of the first one.

As long as the storyline and fighting scenes are not downgraded, and with Gu Wei joining the cast, it should be easy for "Wolf Warrior 2" to have a box office of over 1 billion.

In fact, before the original "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, it had signed a guaranteed contract of 800 million with the publisher "Jingcheng Culture".

Even without Gu Wei, this movie is still expected by the industry to reach a box office of 1 billion.

Now that Gu Wei, an actor with the most box office appeal in domestic entertainment, has joined the cast, co-producers such as Enlight, Bona, and Wanda believe that "Wolf Warrior 2" will have a box office of over 1.5 billion.

The lights in the theater dimmed and the movie officially started.

[Wolf Warrior 2] continues the story of the first film. At the beginning, "Leng Feng" played by Wu Jing killed the village bully who was demolishing the village for the sake of the family members of his comrades who had sacrificed their lives.

Because of a violation of discipline, he had to take off his military uniform and come to Africa alone to develop.

When the camera turned, various workers were busy working in a modern factory. Their skin ranged from black to yellow, and they were obviously not in China.

Then Gu Wei appeared in a camouflage uniform. Although he was in a factory, he walked by with an AK-47 rifle. The workers next to him were not surprised at all.

Through Gu Wei's conversations with the factory employees, everyone knew that this factory was in war-torn Africa, and the workers were both migrant workers from China and locals.

And Gu Wei is the owner of this factory.

To be precise, his father was a factory owner, and he was the "second generation rich" who was assigned to manage the factory.

Due to frequent wars in the local area, the factory has its own security team, all armed with live ammunition and equipped with real guys.

Gu Wei, the rich second generation, is an avid military enthusiast. Since it was inconvenient to handle these weapons and ammunition at home, he applied with his family to manage a factory in Africa, so that he could experience the feeling of real guns and ammunition.

"This setting is really interesting." Chen Zihe watched the two male protagonists appear separately at the beginning of the movie, and thought about what he was recording in the small notebook in his hand.

He is a professional film critic, and even if he praises something, he has to say it in a meaningful way.

Subsequently, the plot gradually unfolded. Because the mother of his godson "Xiao Hei" worked in Gu Wei's factory, Wu Jing took his godson to see his mother.

He met Gu Wei fatefully, and Wu Jing's cold temperament aroused great interest in Gu Wei.

At this time, Gu Wei was still a rich man who didn't know the heights of the world. After several provocations, he asked for a competition, and was then easily crushed by Wu Jing in terms of fighting and shooting.

So Gu Wei's attitude towards Wu Jing changed 180 degrees, and he began to stalk him, insisting on becoming a disciple, hoping that Wu Jing could teach him fighting, shooting and other military tactical skills.

Wu Jing was moved by Gu Wei's sincerity and began to teach him all the skills that a real special forces soldier would know.

From then on, the relationship between the two became master and apprentice.

After a period of practice, Gu Wei's various abilities improved rapidly, and he was recognized by his master Wu Jing.

Wu Jing felt that he was a natural special soldier and promised him that after returning to China, he would recommend Gu Wei to his former leader to join the army.

"Why does this plot look so familiar? It's a bit like [Zorro]." Chen Zihe touched his chin and thought.

At this time, the audience in the theater was attracted by the plot of the movie. Gu Wei's growth line was still very interesting to watch, and there was a sense of reward from playing a game and upgrading.

What follows is the beginning of the original version of [Wolf Warrior 2]. There is a war in the area where Wu Jing works, and he protects some of the Chinese people who evacuate to the ships coming from China.

From here on, the movie is all about gun battles. Gu Wei rescues Dr. Chen and his assistant "Rachel" from the hospital due to an accident, and Wu Jing rushes all the way back to his apprentice's factory.

In the factory, the two led the workers and started a battle with the villain mercenaries.

After a battle, and finally with the help of a warship, the two defeated the villain "Dad" and his men.

Under the waving five-star red flag, government troops and rebel forces became angry one after another, and the evacuation of overseas Chinese was successful!

[Wolf Warrior 2] has a total of 120 minutes and 6 battles. Gu Wei and Wu Jing fight from the sky to the sea. Cars, tanks, planes, and all kinds of weapons are used. The fighting is even more intense. The audience is watching. Extremely exciting!

At the end of the film, the sentence "No matter what dangers you encounter overseas, please remember that there is a strong motherland behind you!" appeared on the Chinese passport, which ignited the emotions of the audience present.

At this time, everyone was excited and felt an extremely strong sense of pride!

"I'm a bit ashamed of the money I received. This movie is really good. I didn't expect that a domestic war movie could have such big scenes. It's really exciting." After the movie ended, Chen Zihe was agitated in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged as he murmured.

"Wow, this movie is so exciting. I think Gu Wei can definitely do it, right? Sister Yifei." Nazha applauded along with the audience after watching the movie, feeling happy for Gu Wei.

"Indeed, this movie is not inferior to some Hollywood action movies to some extent, and it is stronger than them in terms of concept. Wu Jing is very powerful." Liu Yifei analyzed carefully.
