China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor
Chapter 879: Hotly discussed on the internet, Wolf Warrior 2 will definitely not have a high box off
The press conference had only been going on for half an hour and it had already become a hot topic.
#Fang Yu bravely breaks into the kidnappers’ den in Africa alone!#
While international martial arts superstar Fang Yu was filming "Wolf Warrior 2" in Africa, he was shocked to hear that crew member Xie Nan was kidnapped. Fang Yu was not afraid of danger and went deep into the kidnappers' base alone. He successfully rescued Xie Nan and returned safely!
Compare it to any other gossip in the entertainment industry, it’s nothing compared to this one about Fang Yu.
The hot searches for Wang Feng's new song also quietly disappeared.
Walking in the Clouds: “Is this true or false?”
Night Owl's monologue: "It's getting more and more ridiculous! Last time it was WWE, this time it's kidnappers."
Dancer on the keyboard: "Although I admire Fang Yu's courage, this is too risky. I hope there will be more comprehensive plans in the future. After all, life safety is the most important."
Feng Zhong Zhui Feng: "Do you really believe that? You don't even deserve your name!"
Xiaokan Fengyun: "This trending search is too dramatic and a little unbelievable, but if it is true, then Fang Yu is amazing. This is completely beyond my understanding of actors. The only man in Love Apartment is Zhang Wei, so the only man in the domestic entertainment industry must be Fang Yu."
Waiting for the Starry Sea: "Facing the kidnappers alone? How much courage does it take?"
Dream Back to the Horn Camp: "Fang Yu's action this time is not only a rescue for Xie Nan, but also an interpretation of the spirit of the movie. A true warrior dares to face all challenges."
Entertainment expert: "The above-mentioned water army has been identified."
Yi Ye Zhi Qiu: "Although some people suspect that this is hype, I think Fang Yu's actions are real. The Gabonese government has stepped in, so how can it be fake?"
Moonlight Dancer: "Whether this is true or false, Fang Yu's actions have brought us positive energy. I hope he and Xie Nan are safe and sound."
Selfless De: "Did anyone ask how Wu Jing felt? Hahahaha, his wife was kidnapped by black people, but Fang Yu went to rescue her."
Peerless Twin Peppers Oreo: "I'm not saying anything, have you forgotten that Fang Yu flew over a building before? He dared to do that, I think there is nothing he dares not do."
There are all kinds of comments on domestic platforms, and most people think it is hype.
There is no way. In recent years, various film crews have started to hype without bottom line for the box office. Fang Yu was too stunning this time, and many netizens tacitly assumed that he was just hyping up the popularity for the success of "Wolf Warrior 2".
However, on foreign social media platforms, more than 90 percent of opinions on what Fang Yu encountered were positive, and few people thought it was hype.
The main reason is that foreign netizens generally have a certain perception of Africa, and things like kidnapping sound very real.
The key relevant "war correspondents" have already rushed to Gabon to conduct behind-the-scenes investigations and visits. When they learned that more than half of the kidnappers were still preparing to escape, few people could believe it was false.
After all, it's just a show, who would risk their life?
Compared to escaping from the kidnappers, Fang Yu’s last leap over a building was more thrilling.
If he could leap over a building, then escaping from the kidnappers was nothing.
They started a topic on social media, demanding that Fang Yu's new film "Wolf Warrior 2" be released overseas.
Twitter user @GlobalCinephile: "Wow! Stephen Fong's real life heroics are even more inspiring than his movies! We need to see Wolf Warrior 2 here! #DemandWolfWarrior2"
Facebook user John D: "Steven's behavior in Gabon is incredible, we should support his film Wolf Warrior 2 internationally. Let's make it happen! - From London"
Reddit user /u/ActionMovieFan: "Steven's latest feat is crazier than any of his action scenes. If Wolf Warrior 2 gets an international release, I'll definitely be watching it."
The news soon spread back to China, and the famous director Kai Ge said in an interview that he believed it was a hype.
Brother Kai said, "In my opinion, all of this is hype. It's a movie marketing strategy. Young people nowadays always aim too high and want to reach the sky overnight."
He paused and continued in a sarcastic tone: "Especially some new generation directors, who are always thinking about taking shortcuts before they have made two films. This is not good. Film is an art that needs to be created down to earth, not relying on hype and gimmicks."
Brother Kai sighed softly, as if he was disappointed with the impetuous atmosphere of this industry: "Of course, it may also be the behavior of the investors behind the scenes. They want to quickly recover their investment. I can't comment on it, but what I want to say is that making a good movie and letting the work speak for itself is the right way!"
His words revealed a respect for film art and concerns about the current state of the industry: "Although the film market is booming, we must not forget our original aspirations. Our generation has built our reputation on one work after another, not on hype."
Kai Ge's words seem to express his persistence in film art and his expectations for the younger generation, but in fact they are just to step on "Wolf Warrior 2".
"I hope that the directors and actors of the younger generation can calm down, create with their heart, and prove themselves with excellent works, rather than relying on temporary hype. Thank you everyone! The trailer for my movie, "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain," will be released soon. As for this movie... Anyway, let's see you at the box office!"
Brother Kai is also an old professional. He immediately changed the subject and started to "promote" his new film. In the final summary, he did not mention that the Taoist went up and down the mountain to compete with Wolf Warrior 2. He was just hinting. If you don't think about it carefully, you will not understand the intention of this old fox.
If the box office of "Taoist in the Elevator" really exceeds that of Wolf Warrior 2, who knows what this guy will say about it!
However, many media outlets were even more cunning, retaining only his comments on the crew of Wolf Warrior 2, and paying little attention to his Taoist priests going up and down the mountain.
Brother Kai's remarks sparked heated discussions online. Some people agreed with Brother Kai's point of view and simply thought he was right.
This type of user is called "silly naive" by other users.
Movie critic: "Brother Kai is right, this hype is too obvious. I bet the box office of Wolf Warrior 2 won't be high."
Overlord, don't say goodbye to my concubine: "Brother Kai has spent his whole life proving that the movie was not made by him, so what qualifications does he have to criticize Wu Jing?"
The sesame seed cake should be eaten with five kernels: "There are too many brainless fans of Fang Yu, support Director Kai Ge!"
However, the number of fans who support Fang Yu far exceeds those who hate him, and they have all expressed their willingness to support Fang Yu with practical actions.
“We will show our support for Fang Yu, and tickets for Wolf Warrior 2 will be sold out as soon as they are released!”
Film critic: "No matter what the truth is, I will buy a ticket for Wolf Warrior 2! Fang Yu's dedication deserves our support."
In the end, the box office prediction also caused controversy. After all, Fang Yu's films usually have good box office, at least they can make a small profit after recovering the cost. But this time Kai Ge dared to say this, at least in the minds of some netizens, Fang Yu might be in trouble.
However, will Wolf Warrior 2 fail?
------
At Kaige's home, a unique dinner was in progress. The home's decoration style was a blend of Chinese and Western elements, with both classical Chinese wooden furniture and Western-style crystal chandeliers and oil painting decorations, creating a unique atmosphere that was neither Chinese nor Western.
The dinner table was set with exquisite Western tableware, and the silver knives and forks sparkled under the light.
However, the food on the table was authentic Chinese dim sum - scallion pancakes.
This combination seems a bit funny, but it also has a unique flavor.
Brother Kai was sitting at the head seat at the dining table, and his son Ase was sitting opposite him.
Brother Kai would talk to Ase in English from time to time, discussing some topics related to Western culture, hoping that his son could better integrate into the international community.
And whenever he turned to his wife Chen Hong, he switched back to Chinese and asked her opinion on something.
The atmosphere at the table was particularly funny because of this mixture of languages.
Brother Kai picked up a piece of chopped green onion pancake, pointed at the chopped green onion on it and said, "Ase, look at this chopped green onion. Although it is just a small piece of green, it will have great energy when sprinkled on the pancake."
His words reveal a character that likes to show off one's knowledge, and he can always find some philosophy and inspiration in daily life.
Chen Hong responded with a smile: "You are always like this. You can even talk about a scallion pancake and make it into a good idea."
Brother Kai smiled and shook his head: "There is knowledge in every aspect of life. We should not only taste the taste of food, but also the taste of life."
Chen Hong looked at the knife and fork in his hand, hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but ask his questions.
"Honey, why did you say that about Wu Jing's new film during the interview?" Chen Hong asked, a hint of worry in his eyes, "Aren't you afraid that Wolf Warrior 2 will become a hit? After all, Fang Yu is also in it."
Brother Kai listened to his wife's question and smiled gently. He put down the scallion pancake in his hand and said with a hint of confidence and calmness: "I understand the background structure of Wolf Warrior 1. The box office of Wolf Warrior 2 is not that high. Especially this time Fang Yu set his sights on the domestic market. That was a wrong move on his part!"
He picked up the water cup, took a sip, and continued, "Fang Yu's frequent appearances have made some viewers feel a little disgusted. If it is released simultaneously around the world, I would not dare to use "The Taoist Goes Down the Mountain" to compete, but if it is a domestic box office competition, I am sure that it will break 1.5 billion!"
"War movie, can Wu Jing make it? It's a war movie! How can it be that easy!"
Brother Kai is naive here and thinks that Wolf Warrior 2 is a war film. If that is the case, then Wu Jing must be crazy to dare to create such a big scene.
In fact, Wolf Warrior 2 is purely a domestic film that is a rip-off of a Hollywood script. It follows the line of personal heroism and has nothing to do with war.
Chen Hong was stunned as she listened to her husband's analysis.
She knew that Brother Kai had been working in the film industry for many years and had a keen insight and judgment of the market, but was his insight not as good as it had been when he got older?
That was Fang Yu, who beat Kai Ge at the Berlin International Film Festival! He had never lost to Kai Ge at the box office since his debut, so how could he not understand this war-themed film?
Ase seemed to have no interest in his parents' conversation. He was only enjoying the scallion pancake in front of him. It seemed that he ate Western food every day and could not help but have a Chinese meal occasionally.
Brother Kai looked at his wife in a daze and smiled gently: "Hong, don't worry. The film market has its own rules. We just do our own work well, and leave the rest to the audience to judge."
Chen Hong came back to his senses and nodded. Marry a chicken and follow the chicken, marry a dog and follow the dog. What else can she do?
After talking about career, Brother Kai began to ask about his son's situation.
"Ashe, how are you doing in school?"
"Oh, it's okay, there was just a female classmate recently."
The atmosphere at dinner suddenly became tense because of Ase's words.
Ase was eating scallion pancakes while casually saying, "Dad, a girl in school talked to me today..."
Before he finished speaking, Brother Kai's face darkened instantly. He put down the cutlery in his hand and stared at his son sternly: "Asai, you can't fall in love now! I have higher expectations for you. In the future, I want to train you to become an international superstar, a big star."
Brother Kai's words revealed an unquestionable determination. His attitude was firm and it was obvious that he had clear plans and expectations for his son's future.
"Female classmate?! How can there be a woman!" Brother Kai frowned and continued, "That won't do. I have to transfer you to another class, away from that female classmate. You should focus on your studies and artistic cultivation, not these unimportant things."
Chen Hong sat nearby and felt helpless when she saw her husband suddenly burst into anger.
In this family, it was usually difficult for her to influence Kai Ge's decisions. She turned to look at her son, only to see that Ase had huddled in the corner, not saying a word, looking a little scared and helpless.
Chen Hong felt a surge of sympathy and wanted to say something for her son, but she swallowed the words back when they reached her lips.
She knew that at this moment, any rebuttal might escalate the conflict.
Ase lowered his head and responded in a low voice. He was obviously frightened by his father's anger and dared not disobey.
Brother Kai glanced at his wife and son, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down: "I am doing this for your own good. You must understand my painstaking efforts. Ase, you are my son, and you have the responsibility to pursue higher goals."
Dinner continued in this depressing atmosphere, and the originally warm family gathering was replaced by expectations and pressures for the future.
Kaige's persistence and expectations for his son undoubtedly cast some shadows on the family and made Ase feel the pain of growing up, which also laid a huge foreshadowing for him to be on the hot search for pornographic photos in the future.
The clock on the wall rang, and the crisp ticking sound was particularly prominent in the tense dinner atmosphere.
Brother Kai continued to eat his scallion pancake, imagining the scene of himself stepping on Fang Yu, and felt a pang of sadness in his heart!
Finally! Finally the chance came!
Boy! You act in a war movie, make a war-themed movie! Do you understand what you are doing?
This time there are no superheroes, no miscellaneous ghosts, and no foreign box office support.
Let’s see how you compete with me at the box office!
