China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 528 Do you want to stack up the buffs?

Li Yu was very familiar with the situation on Guo Fan's side.

With his investment, some investors who were originally hesitant invested in Guo Fan.

Guo Fan raised another 100 million yuan in investment.

At present, the total investment of "The Wandering Earth" has reached over 4 million yuan.

In order to make "The Wandering Earth" well, we need to raise another 5000 to 1 million yuan.

If Guo Fan fails to fool others, he might really attack Wu Jing.

If after going around in circles, Wu Jing still gave money to Guo Fan, then Li Yu could only say that this guy was really lucky.

"By the way, when would be a good time to schedule the release of Wolf Warrior 2?"

Wu Jing changed the topic to "Wolf Warrior 2".

He had complete faith in Li Yu's vision.

Even he himself couldn't believe that his "Wolf Warrior" could make a lot of money.

He initially thought that as long as he could make back his investment without losing money, it would be the biggest victory.

The result was calculated correctly by Li Yu.

During the investment stage, his "Wolf Warrior" had not yet started filming, but Li Yu said that there would be no loss and told him to go ahead and shoot with confidence.

Later, the situation encountered when "Wolf Warrior" was released was basically consistent with Li Yu's guess.

Wu Jing reached the peak of his career when he debuted, but then fell from the peak and continued to experience lows until Li Yu invested in his "Wolf Warrior" which helped him get back on his feet.

Having had such an experience, it is normal for Wu Jing to want to hear Li Yu's advice on major issues.

His current situation is somewhat similar to Da Tiantian's.

They make decisions on small matters on their own, and if they encounter something really big, they have to discuss it with Li Yu, unless Li Yu ignores them.

The release of "Wolf Warrior 2" is definitely a big deal.

He has invested all his and her cash in this film.

Once he lost the money, it would definitely be a huge blow to him. It could even be said to be the biggest blow he had ever experienced in all his years of life.

If ordinary investors suffered such a blow, they would probably end up in dire straits.

"Brother Jing, if you believe me, then let's do it next year. Try to polish the details as much as possible before arranging the release."

Li Yu couldn't tell Wu Jing that the success of Wolf Warrior 2 required the right time, place and people.

And those three things haven't appeared yet.

Without the blessing of luck, "Wolf Warrior 2" is just a very pure commercial film. It should be happy if it can have a box office of 20 to 30 billion. How can it dare to think that it can become a masterpiece with 50 billion?

"Okay, I listen to you."

Wu Jing simply agreed.

"Brother Jing, don't you want to ask me why I let you know that I am arranging the release of Wolf Warrior 2?"

Li Yu had already thought of how to deal with Wu Jing, but it turned out that Wu Jing didn't care at all?

"Don't ask, I understand."

Wu Jing had an expression that said, "I understand everything."

"?"

Li Yuze was very confused, what do you know?
"I really understand. Some things are so mysterious that you still have to believe in them. Many people in the mainland believe in Feng Shui masters, not to mention Hong Kong Island. Basically all the rich people there believe in this."

Wu Jing said again.

Hearing him say this, Li Yu instantly understood what he understood.

It turned out that he took Li Yu's suggestion that "Wolf Warrior 2" would be released next year as a prediction from the "Master".

Wu Jing has been in the Hong Kong entertainment industry for so many years, so it's normal for him to be influenced by some of the customs there.

Although Li Yu had never actually been to Hong Kong Island in person, he had heard a lot about the superstitions of the people there.

The crew of the famous Hong Kong masterpiece "Infernal Affairs" encountered many setbacks from the first day of filming. Either it rained heavily for several days in a row, or there were other things that hindered the filming.

In short, it was very mysterious. This made the boss of Huanye Films, Lin Jianyue, very uneasy. He used some connections to find the famous Dragon King in Siam, hoping that the Dragon King could give him some advice.

After listening to Lin Jianyue's account of the crew's experiences, the Dragon King said that the name "The Infernal Walker" was too ominous and conflicted with everyone, so it needed to be changed to three words.

Lin Jianyue taught the Dragon King on the spot, and the Dragon King thought for a moment and uttered the three words "Wujiandao".

Then the Dragon King said that simply changing the name would not completely solve the problem. If they wanted to solve the problem once and for all, they had to let the entire crew go to Siam to perform a ritual.

This is where the fantasy part happens. After the Dragon King made some trouble, many strange things in the crew disappeared and the filming process went very smoothly.

After seeing the power of the Dragon King, Lin Jianyue went to Siam again to inquire about the premiere date of the Dragon King's movie.

The Dragon King not only gave Lin Jianyue a specific date for the premiere, he also said that on that day everyone in the crew had to wear purple clothes and accept his blessing by patting their heads.

Lin Jianyue and the crew members did as they were told, and Infernal Affairs grossed 5500 million yuan at the box office, and won 12 Hong Kong Film Awards and the Golden Horse Award for Best Picture.

There are many similar things.

When filming "Initial D", Bai Longwang said that the movie would be a big hit if Zhou Jielun starred in it.

There was still time, the assassin Luo Zhi thought, he was down on his luck at the time, so he looked for the Dragon King for guidance.

The Dragon King said that he will be very famous in the future, and if he wants to keep it that way for a long time, he must abstain from sex.

The Time Assassin listened to the advice and persisted... but he broke the rules after one day, and was eventually eliminated because of this matter.

During the years that Wu Jing spent in Hong Kong Island, he had heard and seen too many things of this kind with his own eyes.

Although he didn't believe that Li Yu was a replica of the Dragon King, Li Yu's predictions were accurate most of the time.

With the attitude of "it's better to believe it than not to believe it", he was willing to believe Li Yu.

After all, the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" was invested by Li Yu.

He and Li Yu are in the same trench, and Li Yu will never betray him.

"One more thing. I heard that you turned down Operation Red Sea?"

Wu Jing felt very sorry when he heard the news.

Because he felt he could act in "Operation Red Sea".

If Li Yu took on "Operation Red Sea", he would definitely be able to act in it.

The movie "Operation Red Sea" is supported by official departments. If Li Yu shoots it, there is a high possibility that it will become a hit.

"I didn't turn it down completely. I am the screenwriter of this movie."

Li Yu asked rhetorically.

"What? Are you interested in this movie? I don't think it's necessary.

"Operation Red Sea" is an ensemble drama, and no single character stands out.

You only have the Wolf Warriors series and The Wandering Earth, so there is no need to join in the fun with Operation Red Sea. "

Li Yu found it a little funny.

Wu Jing has only starred in the "Wolf Warrior" series and "The Wandering Earth" series, but the backlash he has suffered is already severe.

Let’s watch another movie called “Operation Red Sea”, in which the main theme buffs are all stacked up by Wu Jing.

If the backlash comes, Wu Jing might be killed by the crowd.

"But your wife can play the role of a female war correspondent."

Anyway, it’s fine as long as Hai Qing can’t play this role.

Wu Jing’s wife Xie Nan has always kept her hair short, and her temperament is quite suitable for the role.

Sun Li is doing very well in the television industry. The TV series "The Legend of Zhen Huan" made her one of the most popular actresses in the television industry.

Her salary in the television industry is very high, and she is among the small group at the top of the pyramid.

She can easily get paid hundreds of thousands for an episode of a TV series, and may not be willing to go to Africa and suffer for the role of a female war correspondent.

What Li Yu originally said to Lin Chaoxian at that time was to give it a try and if that doesn't work then find another candidate.
