Chapter 254: Explosion

May 25th 【Day of the Four Wastes, do not use for major events】 Suitable for travel, wealth accumulation.

Text:

A-Wei took a day off today. As a 996 social animal, he has always been conscientious and diligent.

But even though he was so serious, he was still scolded bloody by his supervisor yesterday because of some small mistakes.

If it were in the past, he might have stiffened his neck and confronted this supervisor, but now, having had his edges smoothed by social practice, he just accepted it submissively amidst the spit.

Confrontation is certainly satisfying, but if it goes wrong, next month's semi-annual bonus will be gone. You can't go against money, no matter who you go against.

However, being scolded so miserably in front of so many colleagues, anyone would be a bit annoyed, so A-Wei chose to rest for a day to adjust his mood.

His daily life, besides work, is only brushing Douyin and Bilibili. Today, it was hard to rest for a day, so he definitely couldn't stay at home.

It just so happened that a domestic blockbuster was about to be released recently, and the premiere was tonight, so after A-Wei got off work, he went to the cinema near his home to queue up for tickets, preparing to catch the first show at midnight today.

The theme of this movie actually didn't have any attraction for him. Mainstream, action, gunfight—these things have been filmed to death in China. No heart, fake, big, empty, awkward, and sensational.

The only thing that attracted him was the female lead, Luo Quan. This angel-like girl was the only shining point in his depressed life. No matter how difficult life was, as long as he saw her person and heard her songs, he could feel comfort.

This is Luo Quan's big screen debut. As a senior fan of Luo Quan, A-Wei naturally had to come to support it.

Although it was only eight o'clock, the people queuing in the cinema were already increasing.

Most of them were men. A-Wei asked, and they were all here for Luo Quan.

Recently, Luo Quan's fame in China can be described as unparalleled. The number of times she has been on the hot search has covered a group of top female stars, and she has also been named and praised by the GQT many times. Such treatment has really not been seen before. It is not an exaggeration to call her a biological daughter.

I heard that Luo Quan's recent "Luo Quan's Canon" is about to be selected for primary and secondary school music textbooks, and it is highly probable that it will be added to the class bells of various schools. This achievement is the first time for domestic musicians!

Thinking that so many people came to the cinema to see his "wife," A-Wei couldn't help but feel a little proud:

Hehe, it's not yours, no matter how active you are, it's useless!

At the same time, at the premiere press conference of "Wolf Warrior 2" far away in Beijing, a group of creators were telling the difficulties in the filming process of the movie on stage.

Sitting under the stage was a group of big shots in the domestic film and television circle, from cinema lines and investors to directors and actors, all of whom were first-line big names.

Generally speaking, with Wu Dao's current connections, he couldn't call so many heavyweight figures, but who told him that there was government endorsement this time? "Wolf Warrior 2" is no longer a simple commercial action movie. Even if it is really a bad movie, the box office explodes, and the above will forcibly arrange indicators to lift it up.

Of course, no one has seen the finished film yet. Whether it is good or bad, it will be known after tonight.

And under such government promotion, it is natural that there is no harm in the big shots coming to support it.

After all, everyone lifts the flowery sedan chair. Being valued by the government also shows from the side that this movie has its own merits.

Taking a step back, isn't there the world's number one beauty on stage? Isn't it beautiful to observe Luo Quan at close range?

However, Luo Quan was dressed quite conservatively tonight. Although it was already May, she was still wearing a jacket, her graceful figure was mostly covered, and her position on the stage was relatively backward, making many gentlemen sigh with regret.

"So this time our movie was really not easy to film. The original female lead asked for more money halfway through. I really couldn't take out more money, and the whole crew was stuck."

Wu Dao Jing, a tough guy, couldn't help but redden his eyes when talking about sad things.

As a director, male lead, and investor, his pressure is actually the greatest. Before, he was the backbone. Anyone could panic, but he had to remain calm and stabilize everyone's morale.

Until today's premiere, his mood, which had been suppressed for more than half a year, was finally able to stretch.

"I'm not afraid of everyone laughing at me. In order to film this movie, I even mortgaged my own house. It can be said that I gave everything!" Wu Jing's voice returned to clanging. "Fortunately, I met a good team and met so many good actors. Everyone has been very bitter for the past few months, but we all persisted. Only then did we have the successful release of 'Wolf Warrior 2.' No matter what the final box office is, I think it will be an extremely precious wealth!"

Wu Dao Jing's speech aroused the resonance and warm applause of many filmmakers in the audience.

In fact, many classic domestic movies were actually filmed under difficult conditions.

At that time, everyone's salary was generally not high, the costumes and props were simple, and the post-effects were also very average, but they could film a high-scoring movie.

And now, a movie costs hundreds of millions, big names are gathered, special effects are exploding, big IP scripts, but in the end, a pile of shit is filmed, and a large group of water armies are invited to blow it up on the Internet, squeezing other excellent films in the same period.

I don't know when this situation started. When Chinese films should have been booming, they fell into a vicious cycle with no end in sight.

Although the total box office is hitting new highs every year, real good movies have not appeared for a long, long time.

Many of the people present actually have ambitions and want to do something.

Unfortunately, capital and traffic are in power, and laymen guiding experts has become a common phenomenon. It is even harder to make a good movie!

And like Wu Dao Jing, who doesn't spend money to invite little fresh meat and insists on directing his own creators, it is rare. The guests also believe that "Wolf Warrior 2" will definitely be a good movie.

In the following time, the host of the premiere guided the creators to discuss the stories that happened during the filming of the movie.

After all, it was filmed in Africa. Few domestic crews would run so far to film. During this period, the crew did encounter many stories.

"Actually, what impressed me most was the first day Luo Quan filmed." Wu Jing remembered what happened that day and said with a smile: "Although Luo Quan said it was her first time filming, her performance really surprised all of us. It was simply much better than those graduates. Most of the shots were done in one go, and the acting was natural!"

However, this is not the point.

On the first day of filming, when the crew was preparing to return, a large group of local people holding sharp weapons suddenly broke into the shooting scene.

They stared at Luo Quan, the only girl still at the scene, and rushed over. I and a few security guards held down most of them, but one person still leaked out and didn't hold down.

At that time, I was thinking that something happened, and I almost couldn't lift my breath.

The host looked concerned: "But Luo Quan is still standing here well, so what happened at that time?"

"I remember that domestic media reported this at the time, but I guess it didn't cause much waves." Wu Jing said with a smile: "Luo Quan turned around and kicked that person two meters away."

The whole audience was amazed. No one thought that Luo Quan had such skills.

The host was also taken aback and handed the microphone to Luo Quan's mouth: "Luo Quan, is what Wu Dao said true?"

Luo Quan nodded: "That was indeed the situation at the time."

The host said: "Then can you perform a turning kick for us on the spot? We really haven't seen a girl who can do such a high-difficulty action!"

Luo Quan thought for a while and said: "Yes."

Then everyone on stage began to make room for Luo Quan. Luo Quan stood in the center and became the focus.

Fortunately, she was wearing flat shoes today. If it were high heels, it would be really difficult to do the action.

She sprained her foot in London last time, but so many days have passed and it has long been healed.

Although there are many hand skills in karate, the leg skills are no less than taekwondo. Doing a turning kick is still a piece of cake for her.

For the sake of appreciation, Luo Quan chose the most difficult action.

I saw her body tighten into a spring, and she slowly turned half a circle with her right foot as the axis.

Then she suddenly exerted force, her body turned two full circles in the air, and at the highest point of suspension, Luo Quan kicked out like lightning. The action was crisp and neat, and the force was full.

Finally, she landed steadily, and her figure was as stable as a rock.

The audience on and off the stage cheered and applauded.

They have seen action stars, and they have seen action stars showing their skills on stage, but this is the first time they have seen a delicate girl do such an action on stage.

With this skill, she can already do a lot in female lead action movies.

The host asked with a smile: "Luo Quan, your skills are so powerful. There must be shots of you showing your skills in 'Wolf Warrior 2' this time, right?"

Luo Quan was a little embarrassed: "Actually, I don't have any action shots. The war scenes are all male actors."

The female host looked regretful: "That's really a pity."

The premiere continued for about an hour. The behind-the-scenes of the whole movie was basically explained, and the creators also told their own mental journey during the filming of the movie, which was considered a face.

Amidst the host's thanks, the live broadcast of the premiere was over, and the TV screen began to play subtitles.

But for those present, the premiere tonight had just begun.

The TV live broadcast was mainly to let the audience have a preliminary understanding of "Wolf Warrior 2." After it ended, the movie would start playing.

This time, in addition to inviting directors, actors, and investors, many film critics were also invited. How the initial reputation of "Wolf Warrior 2" is depends on the preliminary perception of this group of people.

After the shooting equipment was turned off, all the lights in the hall were turned off, and the movie was about to start playing.

One hour after the premiere movie was played, major cinemas across the country also released "Wolf Warrior 2."

Movie fans who had already bought tickets walked into the cinema one after another, wanting to be the first to eat crabs.

Some were attracted by the bloody and exciting preview screen of "Wolf Warrior 2," and some were here for several main actors.

Although this movie has no little fresh meat or traffic stars, there were unexpectedly many movie fans who came to support it.

A-Wei naturally came for Luo Quan. As the first batch to enter the cinema, he sat down and excitedly observed the surrounding seats.

There were a lot of people watching, basically full. It seems that the promotion of "Wolf Warrior 2" was done well this time. In the past, there were no people in the midnight shows of the same type of films.

The movie started quickly, and the audience immediately immersed themselves in the plot of the movie...

PS: Considering that everyone has probably seen this movie, I won't repeat the plot here.

Two hours later, when that red visa appeared in the center of the big screen, when that incomparably warm text appeared in everyone's eyes, many emotional audience members had wet eye sockets.

A-Wei had never been so patriotic as he was now.

In the past, such thoughts would only appear for a while during National Day, but once the holiday passed, he began to bury his head in work, and all emotions were suppressed.

Watching this movie actually couldn't help him relieve his depression at all.

But A-Wei was proud and excited at this moment. This movie evoked the one thing he was taught most by school when he was a child, and that is patriotism.

In the past, he was actually ashamed to speak of these two words. Every time there was a school meeting and singing the national anthem, many people would close their mouths and not sing, thinking that singing the national anthem was a shameful thing.

And when talking about the ideals of growing up, those classmates who said they wanted to become soldiers would always be subjected to inexplicable ridicule.

In the past, A-Wei was also one of these silent and mocking people, but now, only shame remained in his heart.

In fact, it wasn't just him alone. After watching "Wolf Warrior 2," the mentality of many audience members had changed.

It wasn't just as simple as reminding them to be patriotic, but telling them: China has really become strong!

This night, I don't know how many people posted on Weibo and Moments, expressing their patriotism that had been late for many years, and I don't know how many people chose to turn their heads and enter the cinema for a second or third brush!

And those film critics who had finished watching the movie first immediately began to write articles on their respective media platforms to evaluate "Wolf Warrior 2."

However, the fastest action was Y-TV. China Film Magazine had already published an article early, titled "No Matter Where You Are."

The article extended from the ending scene of "Wolf Warrior 2," first summarized its plot and highlights, and then pointed out the Chinese characteristic imprints everywhere in the movie.

Not just patriotism, but also the attitude China has always taken towards the outside world, and the international reputation accumulated abroad.

These are actually things that few mainstream movies talk about now, and "Wolf Warrior 2" reflected them very well, and the plot didn't look abrupt at all.

Between mainstream and storytelling, "Wolf Warrior 2" achieved a good balance.

To summarize in one sentence, this is a good movie that all Chinese people should watch! ===== CHAPTER 255 =====
