China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

"The Legend of the Gods" was a complete box office failure and was withdrawn from theaters less than a month after its release.

This is not just because the box office performance was not ideal, but because the Xiang family felt it was embarrassing to keep the film on the market, and they would not be able to make much of their investment back. The key point is that theaters rarely schedule screenings for them, so they might as well withdraw the film to save face.

With the withdrawal of "The Legend of the Gods", which was initially expected to hit the top three in the annual box office rankings, the producers of the other films also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Legend of the Gods", which cost 400 million yuan to make, was the strongest enemy of many film studios from the beginning.

"The Legend of the Gods", which has many stars, is even the most favorable competitor for the annual box office peak.

Who would have thought that a film with such a huge investment cost, even comparable to Hollywood's "The Legend of the Gods", would die in the womb.

The final box office was only 1.28 million yuan.

Not to mention recovering costs, even just recovering the actors' salaries is difficult.

The actors made a lot of money, especially one of the leading actors, Fan Jinsuo, who received 46 million yuan in salary. He was in the crew for only 21 days and did not put in much work, but he received so much money.

The key point is that the failure of "The Legend of the Gods" has little to do with her.

Nowadays, netizens are criticizing the film's co-screenwriter Shota, producer Qiang Ge, and leading actor Shozue. However, leading actors like Fan Jinsuo, on the contrary, have not been implicated this time, but have attracted a large wave of traffic because of their solid acting skills and good looks.

The Xiang family, who was at the center of the storm, also avoided the limelight and uninstalled social media apps because of the CCTV's intervention and criticism of Ghost Field's behavior.

The entertainment industry has returned to its long-lost "peace".

On a hot summer day, Wu Jing looked particularly agile on the training ground of the military camp. He was undergoing high-intensity training, and his uniform was soaked with sweat, but his eyes were still firm, and his movements were standard and powerful.

His wife Xie Nan stood at the edge of the training ground, staring at him intently, her eyes full of heartache and pride.

Other crew members were also watching from the sidelines, and they sincerely admired Wu Jing's dedication and hard work.

In order to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing entered the camp again. After a month of hard training, his physical condition has now recovered to its peak. His muscles are well-defined and full of strength.

After completing an 800-meter weighted run, Wu Jing returned to the staff team panting.

Xie Nan walked over quickly, wiped his sweat with her own hands, and handed him a bottle of water. Her movements were gentle and careful, and her eyes were full of concern.

Wu Jing took the water, but did not drink it immediately. Instead, he pushed the cup away and said loudly: "Call Fang Yu, why hasn't he arrived yet?!" His voice echoed in the training ground, sounding a little anxious and dissatisfied.

Xie Nan was stunned for a moment, she knew what Wu Jing was thinking.

He was not really dissatisfied with Fang Yu, but the filming was about to start, and Fang Yu, one of the leading actors, had not yet arrived at the training camp.

Not only did Fang Yu not memorize his lines or show up, he didn't even participate in the training, which made Wu Jing, a new director, feel very miserable.

Wu Jing's mentality is entirely due to the pressure of filming the movie.

He knew that Fang Yu was the financial sponsor and the investor, and his words carried a lot of weight.

Although Wu Jing showed a tough attitude in front of everyone, he would not dare to say so if he really faced Fang Yu.

He could only express his dissatisfaction and anxiety in this way.

The other crew members also understood this and they sympathized with Wu Jing's situation. They knew that Wu Jing had paid a lot for this movie. He not only needed to sweat on the training ground, but also needed to coordinate with all parties to ensure the smooth filming of the movie.

Xie Nan patted Wu Jing's shoulder gently and whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, Fang Yu will be here soon. He may just be delayed by something. Besides, it's a great thing for the movie that Fang Yu can come. If he doesn't come, it will be the same if we shoot other scenes first. He is so busy." Her voice was gentle, trying to ease Wu Jing's nervousness.

Wu Jing sighed, picked up the water cup again and took a sip. He knew Xie Nan was right, he needed to adjust his mentality and prepare for the next challenge.

He took a deep breath and threw himself back into training, ready to be in the best condition for the upcoming film shooting.

Half a day passed.

In a corner of the military camp, Fang Yu arrived late, his figure looking somewhat lonely under the scorching sun.

As soon as he arrived at the scene, he noticed Wu Jing crawling in the distance and the gazes of the surrounding staff.

His arrival seemed to break the calm on the training ground and caused a small commotion.

Instructor Li, a serious soldier with a sharp gaze, saw everything.

Seeing Fang Yu coming, he immediately walked over with an unquestionable serious expression on his face, demanding punishment for being late.

Fang Yu looked at Instructor Li and felt a little amused. He shrugged his shoulders and asked, "What kind of role-playing session is this? Why are you giving orders before the performance even starts?" There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone, and it was obvious that he did not take Instructor Li's serious attitude seriously.

Instructor Li was not shaken by Fang Yu's attitude. He directly took out a set of weight-bearing equipment, looked at Fang Yu firmly, and said, "Are you not convinced? If you can, and have the ability to follow the full set of training, then you can graduate directly and play a soldier without training! But if not! I hope you don't tarnish the image of soldiers!"

Fang Yu once played Yuan Lang in "Soldier Assault", but Instructor Li in front of him seemed not to have seen that work.

Even though he had seen it, Instructor Li knew that most of the things shown in film and television works were exaggerated or beautified, and the real life of a soldier was much more difficult than what was shown on the screen.

Fang Yu knew that Instructor Li was very dissatisfied with a star like him who was late, but he highly recognized Wu Jing's serious attitude.

He could sense Instructor Li's dissatisfaction and understood that he needed to prove himself through action.

He took a deep breath, without saying anything else, and directly put on the equipment handed to him by Instructor Li.

Facing the weight-bearing equipment, Fang Yu smiled.

Who would have known that he was a fourth-level scout?
This was a rare soldier in the army. If calculated by military rank, his status was much higher than that of Instructor Li.

A fourth-level scout is the elite in the army, the ghost on the battlefield, and the enemy’s nightmare!

The summer sun scorched the military camp's playground, and the air was filled with the smell of sweat and dirt.

Wu Jing and a group of new recruits gathered here, preparing for a special military skills showdown with Fang Yu.

Little did they know that today they were about to witness a miracle.

With the whistle of Instructor Li, the weighted cross-country running officially began.

All contestants carried heavy sandbags and ran hard along the set route.

Although Wu Jing has good physical fitness, she still seems to be struggling with such high-intensity training.

He gritted his teeth and tried to keep up with the team. However, Fang Yu's performance surprised everyone.

He carried the sandbag as if it weighed nothing, his steps were steady and his breathing even.

His speed gradually increased and he soon left the other contestants behind.

In the muddy area, he cleverly used the power of his footsteps and easily avoided the mud pits.

When he reached the hillside, he used his explosive power to climb quickly and easily passed the obstacles.

When passing through the sand, he adjusted his pace, reducing the impact of the sand on his speed and continuing to maintain his lead.

Fang Yu was the first to cross the finish line with an absolute advantage. His performance shocked all the recruits and instructors!
When Fang Yu had already reached the finish line for more than a minute, Wu Jing finally arrived!
Wu Jing looked at Fang Yu standing there as if nothing had happened, and she felt terrible!
It took me a month of training to be able to keep up with the main group now. How did this guy manage to leave us so far behind?

Next up is the obstacle course!

When the whistle sounded, the contestants quickly got into the game and began to cross various obstacles.

Wu Jing and the new recruits faced obstacles such as high walls, trenches, and barbed wire. Although they tried hard, they lacked speed and skills.

Fang Yu showed his amazing agility and strength in the obstacle course.

Faced with the high wall, he jumped over it easily with smooth and graceful movements.

In front of the trench, he used a running start and a jump to easily cross the obstacle.

When crossing the barbed wire, he moved quickly and carefully, avoiding touching it and maintaining his speed.

On the balance beam, he walked steadily and easily without making any mistakes.

The King of Soldiers!

The absolute strength of a soldier king!
Fang Yu completed all obstacles at an extremely fast speed and won easily again!

Although Wu Jing and the new recruits tried their best to complete the competition, the gap between them and Fang Yu was obvious.
Wu Jing was dumbfounded!
Xie Nan was dumbfounded!
Many recruits were collectively dumbfounded after watching the performance of Hollywood superstar Fang Yu!

Instructor Li was so dumbfounded that he couldn't be more dumbfounded!

He was very curious about how Fang Yu did it.
Did this guy really not have a military career?
Why does it feel like this guy is obviously a veteran?
Without waiting for Instructor Li to respond, he continued with the next item!
The whistle sounded again, and the contestants prepared to shoot at fixed and moving targets.

Wu Jing and the recruits performed well in fixed target shooting, but in moving target shooting, the hit rate dropped significantly due to the rapid movement of the target.

In the fixed target shooting, Fang Yu hit the center of the bull's eye with every shot, demonstrating his amazing shooting skills.

Facing a moving target, he quickly adjusted his shooting rhythm, and every shot was accurate, as if he could predict the target's movement trajectory.

His shooting movements are smooth and accurate, and every shot is full of confidence!
Just aim and shoot! No hesitation at all!

Fang Yu once again won the shooting training with absolute advantage, and his 100% accuracy shocked everyone present!
Although Wu Jing and the new recruits tried their best, the gap between them and Fang Yu was obvious.

"I, I will announce the results." Although Instructor Li already knew the answer that everyone knew, he still announced the results.

"First place. Fang Yu hit the target 30 times, missed the target 0 times, and hit the ten-ring 20 times." Instructor Li stared at the number with wide eyes, "Twenty-nine times. One eight-ring."

After hearing Fang Yu's results, everyone couldn't hold back any longer!

Is this still an actor?

Isn’t this clearly the King of Soldiers!
He's a tough guy who's good at all things decathlon!
"Quiet!"

Instructor Li interrupted everyone's discussion and continued to announce the rankings.

After three rounds of statistics, Fang Yu won the first place by a landslide as expected.

As expected, the actress Wu Jing successfully ranked last.
Now Wu Jing no longer had the arrogance she had just when she was sweating, and instead felt embarrassed.

How could he have imagined that Fang Yu was so ruthless that he not only defeated him, but also directly defeated this group of professional soldiers.

"Ahem. I have to say that Fang Yu's performance just now has surpassed the best in the company." Instructor Li swallowed his saliva.

He didn't make it clear that Fang Yu was not only the best in the company, but his performance could even earn him a place in a division-level competition.
Hesitantly playing the role of a soldier, Fang Yu stood in military posture and did not speak a word.

After a while, in a corner of the playground, when everyone was free and gathered around, he pointed out the situation.

Instructor Li was the first to break the silence. His voice was trembling and respectful: "Fang Yu, I didn't know you were so capable before. I apologize to you. I shouldn't have judged people by their appearance."

Fang Yu smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Instructor, it's okay. I am indeed an actor, but in my many years of professional career, I have been fortunate to accumulate a lot of experience in military life. My teacher is a coach of the special forces. It can be said that strict teachers produce excellent students."

Wu Jing couldn't help but interrupt: "Your teacher is the best soldier in the army? That's really amazing."

Fang Yu nodded: "Yes, he taught me a lot of practical skills."

Instructor Li continued, "Fang Yu, I have only seen your qualities in competitive events at divisional conferences. You are born to be a soldier!"

Fang Yu responded modestly: "I just tried my best to do what I should do. I can't be careless when playing the role of a soldier."

Wu Jing looked at Fang Yu with admiration in her eyes: "Fang Yu, your performance today really opened my eyes. I didn't expect you to be so amazing."

Xie Nan couldn't help but express his feelings: "Fang Yu, you are so admirable!"

The recruits also began to whisper, and their admiration for Fang Yu was beyond words.

Fang Yu smiled and nodded to everyone: "Thank you for your recognition, I just did what I should do. In today's training, we are all working towards the same goal, come on everyone~"

A day of military life passed by quickly.

The next day, Fang Yu got up early, carried a box, and got into a business car.

"I should have gone directly to my destination a day earlier. I have a plane to catch."

The driver in the front row complained helplessly, "It's all because of you! If you were so good, the crew wouldn't be waiting for you to come here."

"Okay, I understand. Fortunately, I have some experience. Otherwise, I would have been locked up in the military camp by this great director Wu Jing and suffered. He really has the guts to torment me, the investor, like this." (End of this chapter)
