China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 527 The Unchangeable Law

"Director Wang, you've been so popular lately, haven't you? You're the only director in China whose single movie has grossed over 30 billion yuan. That's enough for you to brag about for half a year, right?"

When Li Yu saw Wang Jing again, he found that this guy's face was flushed.

It really proves the saying that people feel refreshed when good things happen to them.

"Thanks to Director Li, I did become famous for once. The box office reached 30 billion, the highest in Chinese film history. I never thought that I would have such an awesome day."

Wang Jing said with a smile.

In recent days, he would wake up laughing in his dreams at night.

He even had some unrealistic hallucinations. He felt that even if the National Master and Chen Kaige came, he would be able to defeat them.

Of course, he was also aware that it was an illusion.

It is normal for people to feel that they are the best in the world when they suddenly achieve great success. The key is whether they can stay rational.

Wang Jing is a veteran who has been in the business for many years, not a young man. He can distinguish the reality.

"Director Wang, the filming of The Disguiser is about to start, so you should take a break.

After I finish filming "The Disguiser", you'd better finish filming "Joy of Life" in one go.

If you feel there are too many plots to shoot, we will compress them and shoot the important ones.”

Li Yu reminded Wang Jing again.

After "The Pretender" was broadcast, Hu Ge officially began his transformation, and Li Yu would not let him continue to play in "Joy of Life".

"I'm ready. Once you finish filming, Hu Ge can switch to the crew seamlessly.

But forget about taking a rest. I am a hardworking person and I cannot sit idle.

It will take at least three to four months for you to shoot The Disguiser, and I can use this time to shoot Australia 3."

Wang Jingwan declined Li Yu's kindness.

Are you kidding me? How can he take a break? How much money would he lose if he took a few months off?

He just filmed "Detective Chinatown 2".

The reputation of this movie has declined compared to its predecessor, but it is definitely not a bad movie and can be given a score of 70.

If he makes one decent movie, then he has to reward himself with a few bad ones.

This is just like Brother Baolong’s fried beef with pickled cabbage, it is a law that cannot be changed.

When it comes to making bad movies, Wang Jing is truly unmatched, and the cast of "Macau Island 3" can be said to be very strong.

The directors are Wang Jing and Liu Weiqiang, and the actors are Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Zhang Xueyou, Zha Zhahui...

Such a movie directed by a famous director and starring several superstars and movie emperors actually won the 8th Golden Broom Most Disappointing Film Award.

The most outrageous thing is that such a bad movie could still have a global box office of 1.65 million.

It seems that the strong cast can still play a certain role.

"Okay, if you want to film "Australia 3", then go ahead."

Li Yu said nothing about it.

As long as Wang Jing doesn’t affect the filming progress of "Joy of Life", it will be fine.

Based on his understanding of Wang Jing, he could not influence him at all.

The time it takes Wang Jing to shoot one "The Disguiser" is enough for him to shoot two "Macao Storm 3". The strength of Hong Kong's No. fast man is so strong.

……

A few days later, Li Yu met Wu Jing again.

Wu Jing just came back from Africa a few years ago.

He worked very hard on the filming of Wolf Warrior 2.

I heard that he was injured more than 60 times while filming this movie, and most of these injuries were definitely minor.

But he also suffered serious injuries. When a reporter went to Africa to interview him before, he was lying on a hospital bed with both legs in plaster.

Perhaps suffering from internal injuries is the fate of most martial arts actors and action actors, except for Cheng Long, whose superhuman physique is not comparable to that of ordinary people.

Cheng Long is the most reckless martial arts actor in Hong Kong. All insurance companies in Hong Kong have blacklisted him.

This is the amazing point. He is obviously the one who is most willing to risk his life. Now many of his colleagues like Kung Fu King, Zhen Zidan and Wu Jing all have internal injuries to varying degrees.

The most serious one is Li Lianjie, who can't even fight now.

Only Cheng Long is still alive and well.

"Brother Jing, I heard that you suffered a lot of injuries in Africa."

Li Yu spoke first.

"I'm used to it. In our line of work, it's inevitable to get hurt. Compared to my senior brother, my situation is pretty good. At least I can still fight and continue to make a living."

Wu Jing is accustomed to getting injured.

In the past few years, he played villains and supporting roles in Hong Kong films. He didn't have many scenes, but the challenges were very difficult and getting injured was commonplace.

"I really envy Director Li, who can easily earn hundreds of millions in Beijing. If I had Director Li's ability, why would I have to risk my life?"

Wu Jing was talking about Wang Jing's "Detective Chinatown 2".

"Don't be envious. When your Wolf Warrior 2 is released, you can also make hundreds of millions."

Li Yu said seriously.

He had already told the truth, but Wu Jing didn't dare to believe it.

"Director Li, please stop talking bad about me. How can my Wolf Warrior 2 make that much money? It would be great if the box office could reach 20 billion yuan, which would be a small profit for me."

Wu Jing smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Thanks to the investment from Li Yu and Da Tiantian this time, Wu Jing did not need to mortgage his property, he only invested 8000 million in savings.

Given his share, how many hundreds of millions would Wolf Warrior 2 have to earn at the box office? 30 billion? 40 billion? 50 billion?
Take the smallest number here, 30 billion, for example. That is a number that Wu Jing dared not even think about.

"Okay, no more jokes. I'm going to recommend a movie to you. If you're free, you can go and make a cameo appearance."

Li Yu got to the point.

The movie he was referring to is "The Wandering Earth".

Guo Fan wanted to invite Wu Jing to make a guest appearance. Considering that Li Yu and Wu Jing were more familiar with each other, Guo Fan asked Li Yu to talk to Wu Jing about this.

"What movie? Isn't it going to have a lot of fighting scenes?"

Wu Jing felt a little uneasy.

He had just returned from Africa with injuries all over his body, and yet he was forced to do a fight scene. I'm afraid his injuries will never heal.

"There are no fighting scenes. It's a science fiction film, The Wandering Earth, invested by China Film Group, and directed by Guo Fan."

Li Yu introduced.

“I’ve heard of this movie. It’s said that China Film Group has approached many famous directors at home and abroad, but none of them are willing to take the role.

This Guo Fan has never made any great films? I have barely heard of his name. "

China Film Group started preparing for The Wandering Earth as early as 2014, so it is not surprising that Wu Jing, who spent most of last year in Africa, knew all this.

"Those big directors are not optimistic about it, but I am. Tiantian and I have invested 100 million each. Do you want to participate? If you do, I will tell Guo Fan for you."

Li Yu continued to ask.

"I'm acting. Why not? If there's no fighting scene, I must act."

Wu Jing didn't hesitate.

Li Yu is optimistic about this film, which means it must be unique and he believes in Li Yu's vision.

Li Yu also found it very interesting.

I don’t know if Wu Jing will be brainwashed by Guo Fan this time. Not only does he not ask for any remuneration, he also invested tens of millions of dollars in "The Wandering Earth".
