Entertainment: From the Octagon to the big screen

Chapter 252 - Kung Fu, haha

During the media opening day for the crew of "The Wandering Earth", Chen Luyu glanced at Wu Jing, who was wearing camouflage uniforms at the end of the sofa next to him.

At this moment, Dilraba, who had just finished answering her expectations for this work, handed the microphone to the watching Wolf Warriors in a tacit understanding.

At this moment, Wu Jing was in a state of "watching the excitement". In fact, he was already shaking after drinking heavily with Guo Fan and Li Guangjie last night.

When Song Zuer put the microphone in front of his nose, Wu Jing missed the opportunity for the first time and made the staff outside the shooting area laugh.

Song Zuer, biting her soft lips, suppressed her smile and tried her best to keep the microphone in her hand from shaking;
Wang Zhi and Dilraba Dilraba, who came to the set as a guest star this morning, were already laughing.

"I'm sorry, I was having a drink with Director Guo Fan and Lao Li last night and chatting about the script, so I took a late break and was in a bad state."

Wu Jing first stood up and bowed his hands to Chen Luyu and the staff on site, then took the microphone and motioned for Chen Luyu to ask questions.

Today we mainly filmed Dilraba's second cameo scene, so it was normal for Wu Jing to drink heavily and stay up late while on vacation.

Guo Fan invited this sister to return just to add a touch of beautiful color to "The Wandering Earth" or to use it as a vase.

Previously, when Guo Fan asked Tong Liya to guest star as the hero's mother, he planned to ask Yaya to make a vase at the box office and contribute some acting skills.

If Tong Liya came, she would be holding three positions.

However, because Guo Fan did not let Liu Haoran be the male lead, Chen Sicheng was unhappy with him, so he interfered with Huang Tong Liya's guest appearance.

As a result, Tong Liya could only ask her classmate Wang Zhi to save the situation.

It's a pity that "Qiu Ya" only meets the needs of director Guo Fan in terms of professional skills, but it is still a little bit behind in terms of appearance.

Therefore, all Director Fan Guo can do is split it up.

Leave the beauty part to Dilireba.

As for the small task of raising some box office, I had to give up.

After all, the female lead Song Zuer, Wang Zhi, who plays a friendly role, and Dilmurat Dilraba, who helps make a guest appearance, do not have the ability to carry the box office.

Even Dilraba has been left behind by Yang Zi in raising the ratings of the small screen, so Guo Fan positioned her as a big vase.

To be honest, if it weren't for Zhou Dongyu's poor health and tight schedule, Director Guo Fan would have gritted his teeth and paid a high price to hire her.

No matter whether Song Zuer is working hard in front of him or Zhao Jinmai and Zhang Zifeng just missed, they can't fully present Han Duoduo.

Han Duoduo is rebellious, independent and has a strong sense of self-protection and defense.

Although Song Zuer went to the United States to study alone when she was in her teens, her rebellious performances always tended to be yin and yang weird;

On the other hand, during the audition, Zhao Jinmai interpreted rebellion as "acting" and "making trouble", focusing on "confronting" his elders and peers.

Liu Cixin, the producer and original author of "The Wandering Earth" commented that Song Zuer is: If she is rebellious, she will make noises and yell randomly.

As for Zhao Jinmai, Liu Cixin said that the girl seemed to be in her menstrual period and while she felt uncomfortable, no one could think about it.

As for Zhang Zifeng, she was recommended to join the cast before she even had the chance to audition for Song Zuer.

From the current point of view, Song Zuer is indeed more in line with Han Duoduo in the original work than Zhao Jinmai and the unlucky Zhang Zifeng.

But in director Guo Fan's heart, Han Duoduo is still Zhou Dongyu. After all, the latter's image is a little bit more like a little girl on the street, but she is just a good girl in school.

But now Director Guo Fan and Zhou Dongyu himself are very lucky, because the intensity of filming "The Wandering Earth" is definitely not what Zhou Dongyu can bear at the moment.

If Song Zuer and Little Yellow Duck are exchanged, it is estimated that the latter can last for ten days at most. This has nothing to do with whether he can endure hardship. Zhou Dongyu's physical foundation is too weak.

Song Zuer has evolved to the point where she can fall asleep instantly just by finding a spot on the set. If Zhou Dongyu did the same thing, he would probably have to go to the hospital nine times in three days.

Chen Luyu chatted with Reba, Wang Zhi, Zuer and Jingjing about the hard work of filming, while also talking to Wu Jing who was waiting to wash his hair and face.

When Wu Jing, who was wearing a red towel around his neck, re-entered the shooting area, Chen Luyu pondered for a few moments before remembering the topic he wanted to ask before.

"What do you think about the fact that Chen Yu's [debut] in Hollywood is not an action movie?" Chen Luyu's words shocked everyone who participated in the interview and recording in the rest area.

Dilraba and Wu Jing were the first to react but did not speak. Song Zuer's eyes flashed and then she tilted her head to look at Wang Zhi, but the latter and Qu Jingjing were still confused.

To be honest, Chen Luyu asked a very tricky question, somewhat similar to Yi Lijing's style.

With the help of "Knives Out" starring Chen Yu, she talked about the changes in the methods and types of Chinese cultural output in recent years.

Wu Jing wiped his face with a red towel and then pretended to hand the microphone in his hand to Dilraba, who was sitting obediently and smiling implicitly.

"Xiao Di has to speak first about things related to Chen Yu." Reba knew that Wu Jing was joking but still cooperated by shaking her hair and assuming the posture of "I am in charge".

After some banter from Wu Jing and Dilraba, the tense atmosphere in the rest area gradually became calmer, and Qu Jingjing and others also smiled.

"When Chinese culture relies on [fighting] to win, in my opinion, it has already lost 50% or even 70%." Wu Jing said loudly with a serious expression. Wu Jing pointed to the mobile phones and tablets of the staff outside the filming area, as well as the McDonald's that Reba ordered for everyone when she came to the set in the morning.

When Europe and the United States operate their culture around the world, they basically use a silent method of moisturizing things, using potato chips, chips and movies.

When we realized it, we were surrounded, and it was very convenient for people to adapt to our changes. Wu Jing ordered McDonald's meal boxes again.

"Usually you have to eat a pizza or drink a can of Coke. Who promoted these to you? Parents, classmates and boyfriends?" Wolf Warrior's words made Reba pouted.

Some time ago, when Dilraba and Chen Yu came to visit Song Zuer, the coffee support truck they ordered was from Starbucks. Wu Jing thought about it and said.

Why do you have to choose Starbucks instead of domestic ones? Maybe it’s because Starbucks’ coffee support truck is beautifully decorated and grand, making it suitable for taking photos with the media and fans.

Wu Jing is not rude to others, but his words are indeed merciless.

"Artists and actors find it very convenient to use them, so they unconsciously volunteer for these foreign cultures." Wu Jing Tan Tan's expression was very complex.

Wu Jing then said that we can learn from the ways and operations of Europe and the United States in operating their own culture.

Chinese culture is leading and has a profound foundation.

All that is lacking is a broad, ordinary road.

"The yoga next door is packaged and promoted by the United States. How much money has the United States made away with yoga?" Wu Jing said this in a joking tone while looking at a group of female artists.

Therefore, Wu Jing believes that relying on "kung fu" to spread Chinese culture is an outdated understanding.

How many of the thousands of movies released around the world each year are pure action movies? After seeing everyone's blank expressions, Wu Jing said the figure of 11%.

Audiences who still feel that action movies occupy a good share of the market in 2017 can only say that they only pay attention to "The Expendables" or "John Wick".

"Everyone always studies the [numerator] and knows that there are many corpses of action movies under the water that serve as the [denominator], which is why those movies are so high."

Wu Jing's thumb slowly slid across his neck. China is currently one of the most tolerant markets for action movies!

Even if a passable film cannot be released in theaters, it can still be put on an online platform. Regardless of the income, at least the production team and crew will not be in vain.

Nowadays, the global market is no longer so welcoming of action movies. There is really no need to continue to use "kung fu" to promote Chinese culture.

"With the popularization and development of the Internet, [Kung Fu] has become less mysterious to most foreigners," Wu Jing's words were frank and straightforward enough.

"Why do we insist on clinging to Kung Fu when we clearly have better cultural output? Is Hollywood short of capable people now?" Wu Jing asked, looking at the female stars.

Although Wu Jing made his fortune through action movies and TV series, he became famous and made a lot of money.

But he knows when to advance and retreat and when to give up in an evolving market environment.

Whether Chinese martial arts or Kung Fu, they are both an inseparable sentiment and a tool for gaining fame for Wu Jing.

Ever since he bet on "Wolf Warrior" to avenge "Wolf Fang", Wu Jing is no longer a simple actor, action director, and producer.

Feelings can be hidden in the bottom of the heart, and tools can also be placed in a corner of the warehouse.

Therefore, Wu Jing's words do not mean that he breaks away from Kung Fu but emphasizes that Kung Fu can no longer help the export of Chinese culture to the outside world.

"If I add a lot of action scenes to Xiao Di's cameo scene, I think Director Guo Fan would be able to hack me to death with a kitchen knife." Wu Jing shrugged to Reba who was snickering.

Wu Jing then took out a promotional poster for "The Wandering Earth" and held it up to the camera. Right now, this work is a powerful tool for exporting Chinese culture to the world.

The core ideas contained in "The Wandering Earth" are more contagious and universal than Kung Fu.

To be honest, only Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Wu Jing who dare to talk about Kung Fu in such a fair and honest manner have become a thing of the past. "Master Ye" does not have the confidence to do so.

This is just like Chen Yu never being a dick to Bruce Lee in public because Chen Yu has absolute strength.

Whether you are a good boxer or not should be judged by your performance, not by the praise of your peers or the next generation.

If Bruce Lee is "strong", then please come up with detailed and rich arena information, trophies and gold belts that can prove it.

Not to mention that the apprentices he taught were world champions. Mourinho, who had a bleak playing career, could also lead league champions and Champions League champions.

The former Yugoslavia's "super liar" Milu could also bring the national football team into the 2002 World Cup.

Therefore, the excellent discipline training of apprentices can only show that Bruce Lee is suitable to be a teacher and proves that he is also a world champion.

"Therefore, I only respect the theory created by Bruce Lee, but it does not mean that I think he is very strong. After all, strength comes from fighting."

While Wu Jing was answering questions, Chen Yu, who came out of the training center for a walk in the evening, was also blocked by reporters from "Sky Sports".

Chen Yu, who knocked down Conceição in just two rounds in the morning training match, was obviously in a good mood, so he spoke very freely!
