Light and shadow player

No one will take what Cheng Yuan said at the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" seriously.

Also "creating a really, really good grade".

The cost of filming the second part was as high as 2 million. Not counting the publicity and distribution, it would take 6 million at the box office to pay back the cost. With the publicity and distribution, the pressure to pay back the cost is rushing to 10 billion.

The box office of the first "Wolf Warrior" was only in the early 5 million.

Want to double the second part?
"From my point of view, the second part will at most save capital, and may still lose money." This is the consensus of the industry.

Spending 2 million yuan to make a niche military action movie is indeed too risky.

So much so that Liu Yifei was specially thanked by Wu Jing for not causing too much splash after the premiere and before the release.

Liu Yifei likes to watch this kind of frenzied bombardment, but she asked people in her team, including screenwriters and producers she is familiar with, and the feedback she got was "not good", "not good", "take No" or something like that.

In fact, when Cheng Yu'an persuaded Liu Yifei to invest in Wu Jing, some people in her team objected, but her husband still had the right to speak, so Liu Yifei chose to listen to her husband.

Cheng Yu'an actually understood Liu Yifei's worries.

No military action film has ever been successful before, and Wu Jing is still a rookie director to make a military action film at such a large cost, so any investor would be worried.

Cheng Yu'an said before going to bed: "When did you see me miss a movie?"

"Your first two literary films hit the box office." Liu Yifei stabbed him.

"It's not important, I'm talking about commercial films."

"You didn't pay back the cost of "The Martian" in China." Liu Yifei stabbed again.

The cost of "The Martian" was 3 million yuan, and the domestic box office exceeded 6 million yuan. Its profits depended on overseas box office and various copyright income.

"You have to argue with me today, don't you?" Cheng Yu'an said angrily.

Liu Yifei said solemnly: "Then tell me, how do you conclude that it will have good grades?"

As a not-so-professional and determined investor, Liu Yifei has been harassed by outside voices in recent days and has been somewhat shaken.

"I can't tell you the specific reason, but I'll make a bet with you that "Wolf Warrior 2" will be at least 30 billion." Cheng Yu'an didn't report too much.

Liu Yifei invested money. Of course, she hoped that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" would be as high as possible, but she was a little apprehensive about the 30 billion.

"I'd die laughing at 20 billion." Liu Yifei said.

"Then why don't you dare to bet with me?"

"Just bet." The competitive Liu Yifei couldn't bear the provocation, "What do you say if you lose."

"It's less than 30 billion, I'll make up for you if it's too short." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

"Why do I want your money?" Liu Yifei refused to agree to this condition.

"Then what do you say if you lose?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"I'm going to lose, I..." Liu Yifei thought for a while, she didn't seem to have any bargaining chips to bet against Cheng Yu'an, "I'm going to lose, I won't bother you for a month."

"Is there such a good thing?!" Cheng Yu'an laughed, and was pinched by Liu Yifei.

"You seem very happy."

"It's okay." Cheng Yu'an said, "That's it, go to sleep."

On a hot day, even with the air conditioner on, I feel a little tired.

As soon as he lay down, Liu Yifei's hands became dishonest.

...

"The child is still there." Cheng Yu'an said subconsciously.

But on second thought, the child was tricked by grandma with a toy to sleep with her today.

"Didn't you say don't bother me?"

"The bet hasn't started yet," Liu Yifei said, "The little one just isn't here today."

Day two, big sun!
Liu Yifei got up first and started a new day of training tasks.

Cheng Yu'an didn't wake up until after ten o'clock.

Whether it's morning or evening, I don't want to eat, I just eat some fruit and go out.

In the few days he was free, he was also full of appointments for various activities.

He is going to attend the premiere of "The Founding of an Army" today, and there will be 1-2 interviews every day after that, and at the end of the month he will organize the first script reading for the crew of "Mulan".

To be reasonable, the lock points belong to the lock points, but the first two films of the "Founding of the People's Republic of China" are quite good, above the average level.

But this year's "The Founding of an Army" is almost meaningless.

This film was shown at the summer screening before, but Cheng Yu'an didn't say anything after watching it.

Still the same sentence, Hong Kong Island directors can't make historical dramas!
They don't have that nerve in their heads!
They can always shoot the confrontation between the two armies into a gang fight.

It is always possible to make the battle for the throne into the election of the leader of the club.

"Seeing the Dragon Unloading Armor", "Jinyiwei", "Guan Yunchang" are nothing like this.

When the film project was established, Cheng Yu'an persuaded Han Dong to let go, why would he still be involved in this film after retirement.

But Director Han disagreed, insisted on taking over the task, and participated in the screenwriting and planning work.

He also wanted to invite Cheng Yu'an to join him, but was rejected. Cheng Yu'an made it clear at the time that the great cause of army building he wanted to do was not what the organization required.

Of course Liu Weiqiang is a good director, but again, don't touch historical themes, especially historical themes like "The Founding of the Army".

When Cheng Yu'an arrived at the scene, many people had already gathered at the scene, and only thirty or so of the main creators came!

"Yu'an, seeing you is not easy." Yu Dong came over to say hello.

Bona is one of the producers of the film.

"You know, I'm busy." Cheng Yu'an smiled.

"How are the preparations for "Mulan" going?" Yu Dong asked.

"There's no problem here. I just need to wait for the actors to understand the script thoroughly." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

"We must make the most beautiful version of "Mulan", so that foreigners can learn a lot."

Cheng Yu'an smiled, but didn't answer: "Mr. Yu, I'm calling you over there. Go ahead, I'll see for myself."

In this case, Cheng Yu'an would not be treated coldly, they are all acquaintances.

"Brother Huohua, is this the first time you have acted as a great man?"

"It's the second time." Liu Huohua remembered, "It's really not easy."

"How many people want to play but haven't had the chance yet." Cheng Yu'an said, "Who will play Yang Yunjin?"

"Here." Liu Huohua called an actress over.

"Hello, Director Cheng."

"Hey," Cheng Yu'an thought the girl looked familiar, but couldn't remember the name, "Have you acted in "Dream of Red Mansions"?"

"Yes," Liqin replied, "In the 10th edition, I will play Baochai."

In fact, Liqin himself didn't want to mention this drama. After seven or eight years, this drama will still be used to flog corpses.

"I said it looks familiar." Cheng Yu'an looked at it and said, "Did you also play Yang Yunjin in "The Founding of the Party"?"

Li Qin smiled and said, "Yes, this is the second time Brother Huohua and I have acted as a great couple."

Cheng Yu'an suddenly realized: "I remembered, you played Tian Xiao'e, right?"

"I don't think you are old." Huang Zhizhong walked up and said, "Why is your memory so bad? This girl has also acted in your company's drama."

"Have you ever acted in my company's play?"

"In "The Legend of Chu Qiao", she plays Princess Yuanchun."

Liqin's only few beautiful pictures out of the circle, a good part of them are from Princess Yuanchun.

Everyone chatted for a while, took their seats, and waited for the premiere to start.
