Chapter 614 Wu Jing and Vanity Fair, who became popular in "The Raid"
The Harper's Bazaar Charity Night is basically dominated by mainland artists, the Hong Kong circle rarely mixes, and most of the ones who can come are developed in the mainland.

Such as Cheng Long, Zhen Dan and...Wu Jing.

That's right, although Wu Jing was born and bred in the capital, in the impression of most people, he is a star in the Hong Kong circle.

In the early days, he was signed under Yuan Baye's company, and many of the TV dramas he filmed were in cooperation with the director and actor of Xiangjiang, and later he participated in a large number of Hong Kong films.

Even though he has filmed "The Embroidered Spring Knife" and "Hurricane Rescue" in the galaxy, and now he has mainly developed in the mainland, many people still regard him as a Hong Kong star because of his resume of a large number of Hong Kong films and backgrounds in the Hong Kong circle.

Just like Wang Fei, she also grew up in the Mainland. In recent years, she has almost only been active in the Mainland, and even settled in the Mainland. However, in the impression of many people, she is still the queen of Hong Kong and Taiwan.

It is not difficult for Wu Jing to change this inherent impression.

As long as the performance surpasses that of the Hong Kong circle and becomes a representative figure of mainland movies, people will naturally change their impressions.

But right now, Wu Jing already has this trend.

As soon as he entered the arena today, many people noticed that Cheng Long and Zhen Bullet specially greeted him and got together for a chat.

Not only because they are all action stars from the Hong Kong circle, but also have more or less cooperation before, and more importantly, because Wu Jing is currently in the position.

On July 7th, the new work "Raid" by the well-known star director Lin Chaoxian was released, with Wu Jing as the first starring role.

Wu Jing's development in the past two years is actually not bad. "Embroidered Spring Knife" has accumulated popularity, and films such as "Hurricane Rescue", "Slaying the Wolf 1" and "Capturing the Commander" have performed well.

It's hard to say how popular he is, after all, he is mostly a supporting role, but his development is much better than that of Fan Shaohuang, An Zhijie and others in the same position.

If it is said that Zhen Bullet is the one who carries the banner of the Mesozoic generation who are currently playing stars, Wu Jing can be said to be a representative figure of the new generation.

Before that, Wu Jing's only disadvantage was that he didn't have any stand-alone works.

"Spike" directed and acted by himself and "West Wind" co-operated by Duan Long had relatively mediocre results, especially "Spike" can even be said to be dismal, with a domestic box office of less than 500 million.

The reason why Zhen Zibao can become a rising star in the Hong Kong circle, catching up with Cheng and Li, and even surpassing Liu Tianwang and Liang Chaowei in salary, is the reason for the popularity of the "Ip Man" series and the box office appeal accumulated by many movies.

You can say that he has a lot of bad movies, but apart from Cheng and Li, he is currently the most popular one.

Wu Jing chose to go back to the mainland to cooperate with Fanxing, largely because the related resources in the Hong Kong area were given priority to Zhen Zibao, and Chef Xie, Principal Gu and others shared the money, so he was at the bottom of the list.

It is different to work with Fanxing in the mainland. Strictly speaking, the only action star in Fanxing is Cao Xuan.

If you advance, you can help Cao Xuan, and if you retreat, you can receive some resources that Cao Xuan doesn't need.

Don't think that it seems a bit like eating leftovers behind Cao Xuan's ass, and others can't eat it if they want to.

At Cao Xuan's current level, Hollywood can be regarded as the first-line, and the movies that hit him are all movies that hit Hollywood, and "Leftovers" is also one of the best sources of action movies in China.

For example, "Raid", just an international director Lin Chaoxian with a box office of 5 million US dollars, is enough for these action stars to grab their heads.

When the project was established, both Cheng Long and Li Lianjie hinted that the hot Zhen Bullet even asked the team to contact him directly.

Not to mention Chef Xie and others, the owner of Yinghuangyang personally invited Lin Chaoxian to dinner, hoping to ask him to talk about it.

It's just that Cao Xuan intends to promote newcomers, coupled with his limited budget, he doesn't want to spend too much on actors, so he firmly chooses Wu Jing.

Although Lin Chaoxian didn't dare to refute the face of these Xiangjiang bosses due to his background in Xiangjiang, but he had the backing of Cao Xuan, his Hollywood experience, and the confidence to refuse.

With the support of Cao Xuan, Wu Jing got the best opportunity since his career.

Although the 5000 million investment in "Raid" is not a big production, it can be regarded as above-average. The key is the director Lin Chaoxian. Because of the success of "Taken", he is now the best Chinese-language action director with a box office. The appeal is good.

Facts have proved that Wu Jing's choice was correct, and "Raid" was a success.

At present, "Raid" has been released for a week, and the box office is about 7000 million.

You know, "The Raid" is a pure action movie, and the biggest box office appeal is the director. This data is already quite good.

Last year's "Ip Man 2", which had a huge momentum, probably had better statistics than "Raid".

Of course, "Ip Man 2" has encountered two strong enemies, "Iron Man 2" and "Sword Rain", but "Raid" is not bad, and it is almost a head-on fight with Chen Kexin's "Martial Arts".

"Martial Arts" is gaining momentum, Chen Kexin + Zhen Bullets + Jincheng Wu, famous directors and popular big names, can be said to be one of the biggest hits in this summer.

In addition to Cao Xuan's "You Now You See Me" and "Transformers", the outside world is even optimistic that it will beat "The Founding of the Party".

If it weren't for the tight schedule this summer, "Raid" would definitely not be so close to "Martial Arts".

But there is no way, before there is its own "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", followed by "The Founding of the Party", and then "Transformers" will be released soon, and then the end of "Harry Potter" and "Now You See Me" ".

It can be said that neither of them is a good stubble, and internal friction in the same company's films must be avoided.

So after several considerations, Cao Xuan finally finalized it himself, and it will be in the same period as "Martial Arts".

After all, Boss Cao knows who is the real persimmon.

Fan Xing was still somewhat puzzled. After all, although the other movies were blockbusters, at least they had different themes, and "Raid" still had a glimmer of life.

But if you fight against "Martial Arts", which is headlined as an action movie, isn't it a hit on the muzzle?

But due to Cao Xuan's prestige, everyone still obeyed orders, and then saw Boss Cao's miraculous operation again, and shouted that the boss was wise.

After "Martial Arts" was released, word of mouth plummeted.

The movie that was complained by netizens is neither an action movie nor a martial arts movie.

Movie Time.com's initial score was only 5.9, while "Raid" was 7.8.

In the words of a famous film critic: "I almost didn't see any plots in "The Raid", but this movie is full of punches, and the frequent fights and gun battles make people's blood spurt. The 140-minute film has no pee spot.

Although many people think that this movie will be forgotten after reading it, but I would rather feel such an adrenal rush than watch "Martial Arts" and tell me those empty and tasteless truths. "

For the vast majority of action movie fans, a purely violent, high-pleasure, and strong-paced movie like "Raid" is simply a delicious meal.

Many action movie lovers are even willing to watch the second and third times repeatedly.

According to them, this movie was highly rated, and Wu Jing was also enshrined in the altar, and he was regarded as the seedling of the next generation of action superstars.

But for most normal viewers, this movie may be good-looking, but many people will still find it boring. After all, no matter how good-looking a play is, it will be boring after watching too much. The intersection with the plot is the most suitable rhythm for the public.

If "The Raid" is only released on its own, it may have an excellent reputation in the field of action movies, but it may not be so strong in the eyes of the public.

But coincidentally, at the same time, there was a "Martial Arts" called "Martial Arts", which actually talked about anti-martial arts and anti-violence.

The idea of ​​this movie is good, but it is a bit suspicious of the audience, that's all, as long as the story is told well, the audience doesn't care about it.

The key point of this movie is that I can’t understand it when I play it, and I can’t explain the plot clearly. The rhythm of the whole movie is depressing and awkward, with a strong sense of preaching, and at the same time it is suspected of plagiarizing "History of Violence".

I'm afraid of comparison in everything. Two movies, one makes you feel awkward, and the other makes you feel good.

Even if the shortcomings are obvious, the balance of the audience will inevitably be tilted.

The box office of "Martial Arts" in the first week was about 5600 million, which was overwhelmed by "Raid". The most embarrassing thing is that the cost of the two films is very different.

The cost of "Raid" is 5000 million, and the cost of "Martial Arts" is different, but it should not be less than 1.2 million, and it is very likely to be more.

According to the current trend, "Raid" has a domestic box office of more than 2 million yuan, which is easy to make a small profit, and it is easy to go overseas according to the style, which is also a considerable profit.

However, if "Martial Arts" wants to make a profit in the mainland, at least the box office must reach more than 3 million yuan, and the current box office trend, 2 million yuan is not very sure.

As for the overseas box office, it is said that the copyright sold well, but the industry expressed doubts. Judging from the box office data of some overseas countries and regions that have been released so far, it has been very poor.

In principle, this movie is destined to lose money, it just depends on how much it loses.

Boss Qin: (*)
To be honest, even Cao Xuan, a competitor, felt sorry for him. He spent hundreds of millions on several projects, but he never saw money back, and he even drew a lot of ridicule.

However, Wu Jing is proud of himself. The success of "Raid" made him very popular. He used to be a little transparent when he participated in similar parties, but now he has become a famous figure, and everyone he knows or doesn't know comes to show his face.

Hu Jing also saw him, and took Da Mimi to talk to him, only to find that Wu Jing's left arm was still bandaged as soon as they met.

"what happened?"

"I got hurt a little while filming, it's nothing serious."

Wu Jingman didn't care, they were action stars who were often injured, so they had long been used to it.

Compared with injuries, they care more about whether they can succeed or not. If they are not successful, they will suffer in vain. But if the work is successful and they gain fame and fortune, these injuries are medals of merit.

This time "Raid" is a rare hit, Wu Jing is high-minded, let alone a broken arm, even if both legs are broken, he has to come here in a wheelchair.

Hu Jing looked not far away and glanced at the red carpet host Xie Nan from time to time, she suddenly understood, and joked.

"I said why are you so generous, and you haven't planned to make it public yet?"

"almost."

Wu Jing scratched his head and smiled innocently. He doesn't care if the relationship is exposed, but Xie Nan is still on the rise and may be affected. Moreover, the two have not been in love for a long time, so they plan to wait for a while.

"Will bring the family over for dinner someday, Li Li asked you last time."

"Okay, I miss my eldest niece and nephew too."

Wu Jing nodded briskly, but Hu Jing couldn't help correcting with a smile: "It's not nephews and nieces, you'll be with them forever."

"Hahaha."

"Ximen's son terrier" is also considered well-known in the entertainment industry, and the big honey next to him laughed when he heard this.

Wu Jing was speechless. If it were Cao Xuan, he might have raised his middle finger or answered back, but he really didn't dare to attack Hu Jing, so he could only bitterly suffer from being dumb.

And when the three of them got together, they gradually attracted the attention of other Fanxing artists. It didn't take long for them to surround them one after another, even Liu Tianxian was no exception.

Although she is at odds with Da Mimi, she still respects Hu Jing in front of her.

Fan Xiaopang, Da Mimi, Hu Ge, Liu Tianxian, Wu Jing, Chen Yao, Gu Miaomiao, Huang Bo, Legend of Phoenix, plus artists who run away from the stars or who are close to the stars, Gao Yuanyuan, Zhang Liangying, Mr. Zhou , Sun Honglei, Xu Zheng and others, this circle can be described as star-studded.

When other company bosses and artists saw it, they couldn't help but feel mixed feelings, either envy, jealousy, longing, or fear.

And some newcomers or single-gang artists also spontaneously or were led by their managers to visit the pier.

"Mr. Hu, this is Gong Xiao, and this is Zhou Dongyu."

The agent of the two helped to set up the line. Currently, Lao Mouzi and Xinxiang are still in a lawsuit, and they are all vying for these people.

Therefore, the identities of these two are a bit embarrassing. Although they are artists of New Screen in name, their manager and team are all on Lao Mouzi's side, and they hardly return to New Screen.

Lao Mouzi is still very confident in snatching the man. The brokerage company has been set up, and the broker is also taking them to show off with Hu Jing.

After all, Lao Mouzi's film resources are hard to come by, and Fanxing will be the main one in the future. The two of them can't get it, but in order to win over Lao Mouzi, Fanxing will give some of his resources to his artists.

In other words, these two are likely to have dinner under Hu Jing in the future, and now that they see the big boss, they must make a good impression.

Gong Xiao is following a tough niche style. To be honest, he is not very competitive. There are many similar artists in Fanxing, and he can't get any top-level resources.

On the other hand, the little yellow duck, with its two short legs, is so cute that Hu Jing paid special attention to it.

What many people don't expect is that the little yellow duck first followed the loli style, that kind of innocent and outspoken innocent and cute little girl route.

Hmm, it doesn't look familiar.

That's right, it's similar to the style of tilting your head and asking "why doesn't it count?"

Lao Mouzi has been around for more than ten years, and he still has the same taste...

If there is one thing to say, after the little yellow duck left the new screen and defected to the Hong Kong circle, he would not take a similar route, but he still retained the character of being outspoken.

It may not be a human design, but a simple personality problem, and often speaks out of his head.

Hu Jing has watched "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", and she still has a filter for a little girl, so she asked a few questions.

"I see that you took the college entrance examination this year, which school did you apply for?"

"Nortel."

Liu Tianxian, who was next to him, didn't pay attention to this side at first, and only when he heard Nortel poked his head over: "Why didn't you report to the Chinese drama?"

Da Mimi quit, raised her neck and choked: "What's wrong with Nortel, why can't you report it."

Liu Tianxian glanced at her up and down, then shook his head, the meaning was self-evident, Da Mimi almost died of shock.

Isn't it just a movie that exploded, what a shame! ?

The two top fighters competed vigorously, with sharp eyes flying knives, and the little yellow duck in the party was trembling with fright.

"cough."

Hu Jing coughed lightly, looked at Xianmi with serious eyes, and warned the two to restrain themselves and not be seen as a joke by outsiders.

The phoenix eyes of the Empress of the Eastern Palace flickered, and Xianmi, who had been on the verge of sword fighting just now, immediately stopped. Liu Tianxian looked at the little yellow duck, smiled and clenched his fists.

"Nortel is very good, come on."

Da Mimi put her arms around the little yellow duck: "Let's add WeChat in the future, and if there is anything you don't understand at school, just ask the senior sister."

"Thank you sister Mi, thank you sister Yifei."

The little yellow duck thanked obediently, and unknowingly made the rankings. The big honey smiled happily, and Liu Tianxian looked indifferent.

Unlike Da Mimi, she accepts anyone and never rejects them. In her heart, her direct descendant will always be a student of Chinese opera, and when the little yellow duck applies for Nortel, the gate of the West Palace Party has been closed for more than half.

If the two of the little yellow ducks are still half a star system, and they followed Da Tiantian who came to pay homage to the mountain gate, the situation is quite special.

Hu Jing glanced at Boss Lu who was accompanying her, and remembered Cao Xuan's words, neither far nor near, were normal social routines, polite and alienated.

Da Tiantian disappointedly followed Boss Lu and left. As an artist, no one would not want to embrace Fan Xing's thigh.

But judging from Hu Jing's attitude, Fanxing doesn't want to have too much contact with him.

"Sister Jing, what is this person's way, the rumors outside are so evil."

Da Mimi is very curious about the school girl who made Sun Honglei and Liang Kun a pair. You must know that Cao Xuan's "New World" filmed the same lineup back then, and Liang Jiahui was added at most.

"Don't ask questions."

Hu Jing didn't speak directly, but said: "Anyway, it's fine to have a normal relationship when you meet, try not to offend, but don't be afraid if offended, as long as it's reasonable, your sister will cover you, your sister can't cover you, and you, Teacher Cao, and Qianqian too so."

"Remember, thank you Sister Jing/Teacher Hu."

Liu Tianxian and Da Mimi's backs straightened instantly, what's wrong with having a mysterious background, and their backers are also very hard.

Afterwards, the auction started. During the period, there was a necklace that Da Tiantian wanted to get for 50 yuan, but Liu Tianxian liked it and increased the price by 10 yuan.

Da Tiantian looked back, hesitated for a while, and chose to stop the auction. On the contrary, Da Mimi couldn't help raising her hands. The necklace, which could have been sold for about 100 million yuan, ended up costing 120 million yuan.

And Liu Tianxian was not used to her. When Da Mimi took a set of rings, he called the price twice, and the original price of about 50 was raised to 80.

But that's all. It's not that I can't afford it, but it's unnecessary. Most of the things in it are at a premium, and most of them are for charity, or to buy face and reputation.

Everything is counted, except for a few who intentionally invited names, most of them are shot by some kind of people.

For example, the international chapter, Fan Xiaopang, Zhou Gongzi all spent about 150 million, and Liu Tianxian also spent 150 million.

The big secret can actually cost 100 million, but she specially added 30 to get closer to these big flowers.

The other first-line players are only about 100 million, and the less may be 50. Ordinary stars are 10 to 50.

The artist finale was Cheng Long and Hu Jing. Cheng Long spent 250 million for pendants and sculptures, and Hu Jing won a painting by Huang Yongyu for 520 million in the name of Fanxing Group.

It is said that the entertainment industry is a vanity fair, but it is just like this...
