Skyview Entertainment.
Wu Hong, the director of "Arms 1", was a little dumbfounded when he saw the news online that "Wolf Warrior 2" was about to start filming.
Because of the popularity of "Arms 1", many follow-up works have appeared in the film industry recently, springing up like mushrooms after a rain.
Good guy, Tan Yue really knows how to play. He didn't even appear in "Wolf Warrior 1" and just made "Wolf Warrior 2". What's more, it's Tan Yue's first film. Wu Hong thinks this popularity is a bit too much. Too much.
Wu Hong couldn't help frowning, sneered, and thought to himself, it seems that he still thinks highly of Tan Yue, young people still can't escape the word "traffic".
Knowing that Tan Yue was going to cross over from the TV drama industry to movies, Wu Hong was really looking forward to what type of subject Tan Yue's first movie would be.
In his heart, Wu Hong has always felt that Tan Yue is a person with great personality. Each of the four TV series he has produced has different themes, and each one is particularly popular. In the director circle, he can do such a good job. The achievements of people are negligible.
Such a talented junior will definitely not follow the market trends.
But when he saw the news on the Internet today, he was still a little disappointed.
In Wu Hong's view, Tan Yue's transformation has failed.
If you want to become a top-notch film director in China, the important thing is to make whatever movie you make that is popular. It can be a blockbuster or a literary one, but it will never be about which movie is popular. You just go and make it. Following the trend is bound to fail.
Wu Hong turned off the news on the Internet and stopped paying attention to "Wolf Warrior 2".
"Arms 1" grossed a total of 2.5 billion in box office, and "Arms 2" was quickly put on the agenda, and preparations are currently being made for the film project.
When filming "Arms 1", because it was a relatively unpopular movie subject, the senior management of Tianjing Entertainment did not dare to invest too much money. They also found several other small companies to bear the risk together, and they were still a little embarrassed in terms of funds.
In Wu Hong's opinion, the quality of "Arms 1" is barely passable.
It's different now. With the first one being such a hit, "Arms 2" not only has strong support from companies, but also has many companies vying to invest money in it.
The senior management of Tianjing Entertainment Company has already issued a notice to the financial department. As long as it is the financial approval for "Arms 2", it will be passed directly.
With extremely sufficient funds, Wu Hong decided to go big this time to make up for the regrets in the first film.
Wu Hong has extraordinary confidence in "Arms 2". For him, "Wolf Warrior 2" is of the same nature as the movies that follow the trend in the market now, and it is not a competitor at all.
The preliminary preparations for "Arms 2" are very fast and have basically been completed. It can be promoted in the media tomorrow.
'Dong dong dong', there was a knock on the office door.
"Please come in." Wu Hong said.
Qin Feng opened the door and came in with the script, sat opposite Wu Hong, and said, "Director Wu, I would like to ask you about the character."
The plot of "Arms 2" is not very closely related to the first one. Almost all the leading actors have been replaced. Qin Feng is the leading actor this time.
Qin Feng knew that "Arms 2" was about to start filming, so he approached Qin Da and said he wanted to play the leading role in the drama.
Faced with Qi Xue's repeated rejections, Qin Feng did not give up.
He feels that as long as he can find a work that will make him popular and become the most popular star artist in the entertainment industry, he can restore his status in Tianjing Entertainment Company.
At that time, Qi Xue will also take a new look at herself and re-examine her relationship with him.
Qin Da also knew what Qin Feng meant, but for a great director like Wu Hong, Qin Da would naturally not interfere with the casting.
Tianjing Entertainment has been ranked among the first-class entertainment companies for many years, which is inseparable from Qin Da's way of doing things. He has always believed that professional things should be done by professional people.
Qin Da only agreed to recommend Qin Feng to Wu Hong. Whether he can become the protagonist depends on him.
Qin Feng seized this opportunity, and with his excellent acting skills, he was successfully spotted by Wu Hong and became the leading actor in "Arms 2". Perhaps Qin Feng doesn't have much advantage over other first-line actors, but under similar conditions, Wu Hong is willing to betray his boss to save face.
Wu Hong was very satisfied when he saw Qin Feng's serious attitude. Naturally, he explained the drama carefully, analyzing the characters and the plot in every aspect.
An hour later, the two of them had moved to the coffee table, drinking tea and chatting about the characters in the play.
After Wu Hong's guidance, Qin Feng has thoroughly understood the character he will play in the play, and all the problems that have troubled him for several days have been solved.
Qin Feng was not in a hurry to leave, and the two of them chatted over tea. "Wolf Warrior 2" is a hot news in entertainment at the moment, so it was naturally mentioned by the two of them.
Wu Hong said: "Have you watched "Wolf Warrior 2" mentioned on the Internet?"
Qin Feng put down the cup in his hand, became more energetic, and said: "Director Wu, I think Tan Yue is just taking advantage of our popularity. Even if there is no "Wolf Warrior 1", it is called "Wolf Warrior 2". A discerning person can see it." question."
Wu Hong said nothing and nodded slightly.
Qin Feng said: "There is a saying that goes well, the higher the praise, the worse the fall. Bright Entertainment has contacted so many media reporters to report on this matter, and their worship of Tan Yue is a bit excessive."
Tan Yue has always had good luck in TV dramas, with one TV series being popular and the other becoming popular. In Qin Feng's opinion, Bright Entertainment Company will definitely suffer a big loss this time.
Qin Feng coughed slightly and continued: "Tan Yue's wishful thinking this time was wrong. The popularity of military-themed movies is not something that can be quickly achieved. He has been going so smoothly, and it is time for him to stumble. ”
"Arms 1" is currently the box office ceiling for military themes. With more investment, the quality of the second part will be higher. Qin Feng feels very comfortable when he thinks that after the two movies are released, he will be able to step on Tan Yue. .
He wanted Qi Xue to see that the man she had always longed for was not as good as him.
Thinking of this, Qin Feng's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to see that day come. Maybe Qi Xue would take the initiative to come find him.
Wu Hong said leisurely: "Young people should experience more setbacks so that they can grow."
...
the next day.
Tianjing Entertainment contacted major media to announce the start of filming of "Arms 2", and the promotion intensity was no less than that of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Naturally, this quickly aroused heated discussion on the Internet.
"Wow! I finally saw the news about "Arms 2". After watching the first part, I was so excited that I had the urge to join the army. I am very much looking forward to the second part."
"The military-themed movies that have been released recently are almost making me vomit. I don't know what the directors are thinking about what they filmed. I hope that "Arms 2" can be finished and released as soon as possible to change my collapsed world view. Re-establish it.”
"The protagonist of the second part is actually Qin Feng, my male idol. I haven't seen his work for a long time. Thinking about how handsome the male idol looks in military uniform."
"Yesterday I saw the launch of "Wolf Warrior 2", and today I saw "Arms 2". I wonder which of the two movies is more exciting?"
"Comparing the two movies, I am still optimistic about "Arms 2". After all, it is the first movie to make this subject popular, and the second one should not be bad. And it is Tan Yue's first time making a movie, and it is still like this Military-themed movies might be on the same level as the movies that follow the trend now."
""Wolf Warrior 2" is a popular movie at first glance. How can it be compared with "Arms 2"? Don't shoot it before it starts filming, so as to save you money later."
Two movies of the same type have been announced to be released, and both are directed by famous directors. Their names are somewhat similar, so it is inevitable that netizens will compare them together.
With the popularity of "Arms 1", everyone is naturally more optimistic about "Arms 2".
...
Magic City.
Qi Xue was wearing a white rabbit-shaped pajamas, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, holding her tablet, and scrolling through entertainment news.
During this time, she has been studying scripts at home and rarely goes to the company. Her new drama will start filming after the spring.
For some reason, her phone would often send him news about Tan Yue. After she clicked on it and read it, she would push more news later.
Qi Xue looked at the comparison between the two dramas on the Internet, biting the corner of her mouth slightly and rubbing her fingers constantly. A feeling of uneasiness arose in her heart, and she was a little worried about Tan Yue.
With the popularity of "Arms 1", the box office of the second part will definitely be very high.
As for Tan Yue's movie, just seeing the name "Wolf Warrior 2", Qi Xue also felt that it was riding on the popularity.
Qi Xue was very confused. Tan Yue's TV series had always been eclectic, and the subject matter had never been popular. But in his first battle as a film director, why would he engage in such a thing?
"Do you have no confidence in yourself?" I thought to myself.
In Qi Xue's eyes, the main purpose of such popular movies is to make money. Even if the actors' acting skills are passable, the workmanship of the movie is rough and the plot is a mess. How can a popular movie become popular?
Qi Xue is not optimistic about the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2". It would be good if "Wolf Warrior 2" can earn back its money at the box office.
Qi Xue closed the tablet, put it aside, lay on the sofa, sighed, and laughed at herself: "Are you stupid?"
At the Feitian Award, the two people were sitting in the front and back rows. They were so close together that Tan Yue didn't even look at him. Although he knew clearly that there was no possibility of the two of them getting back together, Qi Xue still couldn't let go.
There was no sound in the room. Qi Xue just lay there with her eyes closed, and scenes of the two people's past appeared in her mind.
...
...
Beijing.
Bright Entertainment Company.
Chen Ye knocked on Tan Yue's office door angrily.
Tan Yue asked doubtfully: "Xiaoye, what's wrong with you? Who made you angry?"
Chen Ye handed the phone to Tan Yue: "Mr. Tan, I'm reading the comments online. The movie hasn't been filmed yet. They all started saying that our movie is not as good as "Arms 2" and that "Wolf Warrior 2" is just trying to gain popularity. .”
Seeing the popularity of "Arms 1", Tan Yue knew that there would definitely be a second work, but he did not expect that "Arms 2" would be announced so soon.
Tan Yue returned the phone to Chen Ye and said with a smile: "So do you think "Wolf Warrior 2" is gaining popularity?"
Chen Ye wanted to refute, but he couldn't find an excuse. With a name like "Wolf Warrior 2", everyone would have this idea after seeing it.
"Then...then they can't say that our movies are bad." Chen Ye couldn't help but say.
Tan Yue smiled and said, "Both movies haven't started shooting yet. It's too early to say which movie is better. As for the final result, the box office will give us the answer after it is released."
Chen Ye nodded. He was really too impulsive when he read the netizen's message just now.
Tan Yue glanced at the time and said, "Xiaoye, go and inform Mr. Wang that the launch time of "Wolf Warrior 2" is January 10th."
Watching Chen Ye go out, Tan Yue organized the documents again. As for the public opinion on the Internet, he had long been left behind.
The original decision to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2" was originally related to "Arms 1". As for which of the two movies is better, we will wait until it is released.
Tan Yue believes in the potential of "Wolf Warrior 2".
...
...
After get off work in the evening, Tan Yue drove home and took Chen Ziyu with him.
Tan Yue wore an apron, and Chen Ziyu helped cook a sumptuous dinner.
Tan Yue served Chen Ziyu a dish and said, "Tzuyu, it's New Year's Day soon. Do you want to accompany me home to meet your parents after the holiday?"
"Wolf Warrior 2" is scheduled to start production on January 10th. After the production starts, the entire crew will go abroad.
It will take five or six months to come back, and it is very likely that I will not come back during the Spring Festival.
Tan Yue hasn't been home to see his parents for a while. He just happened to go home during the New Year's Day holiday, which can be regarded as celebrating the New Year in advance.
The strong woman in everyone's eyes showed a hint of panic on her face, and she stuttered a bit when she spoke: "Ah! You have to... or wait a little longer."
Tan Yue lowered his head and said nothing. Chen Ziyu hurriedly explained: "I don't mean anything else. I just feel that I am not ready yet. I want to be more mentally prepared."
The sounds from behind became quieter and quieter.
Tan Yue burst out laughing and said with a smile: "Is this still the overbearing president of our company? There are times when you are afraid."
Chen Ziyu's cheeks and ears instantly turned red. She hurriedly picked up a piece of chili and put it into her mouth.
Seeing Chen Ziyu being tortured, Tan Yue laughed even louder and handed over a glass of water: "You see how nervous you are. I just mentioned it and didn't force you. Then I'll follow you when you're ready." Let me go home."
Chen Ziyu drank water and looked at Tan Yue secretly.
When it comes to going home with Tan Yue to meet her parents, Chen Ziyu feels that she still needs to prepare, but she doesn't know what to prepare for. She has never experienced this kind of thing.
After confirming the relationship, after this period of getting along, the two people became closer and closer. It can be said that they have reached the point where they can no longer distinguish between you and me.
Chen Ziyu calmed down her nervousness, picked up a piece of chili pepper, placed it in front of Tan Yue, and said softly: "My dear, eat him."
After a happy dinner, Chen Ziyu lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
All he could think about was going home with Tan Yue to meet his parents.
