Chapter 139: The Press Conference

By this time, the press conference venue was already packed with people; there was no telling how many fans, reporters, and media outlets had arrived.

The reason was simple: this time, *Wolf Warrior 2* was just too eye-catching.

On the first day, even though the screening share was only twenty percent, it still broke four hundred million!

Before the second day had even ended, it had already reached nine hundred million!

Nine hundred million—what a concept. Even on a global scale, that’s a figure to be reckoned with.

No one had expected Yu Mo, a director who started out in Xianxia dramas and was only a 22-year-old kid,

to actually film a movie that broke nine hundred million in box office revenue in just two days!

In particular, the content of this *Wolf Warrior 2* was incredibly shocking.

Almost everyone who went to see it was moved to tears, and some were even filled with a sense of awe.

A phenomenal movie of this caliber simply couldn't be compared to commercial films like *Monster Hunt*.

Even *The Great Wall* or works by top domestic directors like Zhang Zhang Zhang Yimou couldn't be mentioned in the same breath; they weren't even on the same level!

Therefore, regarding *Wolf Warrior 2*, almost every social media platform and outlet didn't want to miss this opportunity, and people arrived very quickly.

"Look, they're here, they're here!"

"Wow, it's Yu Mo!"

"And Wu Jing is there too!"

Finally, as the director and lead actors of *Wolf Warrior 2* began to take the stage one after another,

the entire venue erupted in a massive sensation.

Especially when they saw the young Yu Mo, it left them feeling a bit dazed, as if the last time they knew him,

this guy was still filming *Eternal Love* or *The Journey of Flower*!

But who could have imagined that he would go on to film a phenomenal blockbuster like *Wolf Warrior*?

Especially one that left everyone shocked, blood boiling, and filled with awe!

This was something no one had expected.

Therefore, when Yu Mo stood on the stage again, everyone put away their previous teasing, contempt, and jokes.

Replacing them was respect!

After all, in the beginning, everyone thought Yu Mo was just another "little fresh meat" hanging out with top-tier stars like Yang Mi, Tong Tong Tong Liya, and Watching Watching Reba.

But now, they knew they were wrong—and wrong in a big way.

Yu Mo let everyone know that hanging out with Yang Mi, Tong Tong Tong Liya, and Watching Watching Reba every day doesn't affect his patriotism at all!

……

And as Yu Mo, Wu Jing, Wu Gang, Jing Tian, Yu Bai Bai Qian, and others stepped onto the stage, the flashbulbs offstage kept flashing *click-click-click*.

And offstage, many people were calling out the names "Yu Mo", "Yu Mo", "Wu Jing", "Wu Jing"!

Clearly, they were also very excited.

Of course, this was also something Yu Mo hadn't expected. After all, when he came, Yang Mi only mentioned the specific matters, he didn't expect the scene to be so explosive.

But soon, he was relieved. After all, *Wolf Warrior 2* had broken 900 million in less than two days.

Plus the blessing of patriotic passion!

It's only natural that so many people like it.

……

As everyone stepped onto the stage one by one, they all took their seats.

Yu Mo and Wu Jing naturally sat in the center C-position!

And next to Yu Mo was Jing Tian.

Next to Wu Jing were Yu Bai Bai Qian and Wu Gang!

……

And next was the simplest Q&A session, because the main purpose of the official press conference was promotion.

So most of the questions were prepared in advance.

Like, some details during the filming of *Wolf Warrior 2*, or some interesting things, etc.!

And most of these were answered by Yu Mo, who was the director.

And Yu Mo was well-prepared, stating the answers to the questions prepared in advance.

Like the filming cycle was three months, the script completion was very high, when they started work every day, and when they rested.

Of course, the main thing was talking about some of the dangers abroad.

Like the scenes on the grassland, encountering lions and hyenas.

Or the most thrilling and exciting part was, during one filming, encountering a local armed rebellion, almost reaching their doorstep, etc.

It made the audience listen in a daze, and some even gasped.

Holy crap, filming *Wolf Warrior 2* is this hard!

Even Yang Mi, who was joining in the fun offstage, couldn't help but feel secretly shocked after hearing this, looking at Yu Mo with some surprise.

This guy, why has he never told me about these things!

……

But when it was Wu Jing's turn, everyone was baffled.

"If I had to say one thing that left the deepest impression on me, it would have to be Yu Mo!"

Wu Jing, who was being questioned, pondered for a moment and suddenly spoke.

What, Yu Mo...

As soon as this was said, everyone was curious and turned their eyes to Yu Mo.

You have to know, although the protagonist this time was Wu Jing.

But Yu Mo's Zhuo Zhuo Zhuo Yifan was also very eye-catching!

Especially since he played the comedic role, adding some fun to the relatively serious plot, it could be said to be crucial.

But they still didn't quite understand.

"Why did Yu Mo leave the deepest impression?"

"Exactly!"

Even the female host became interested, after all, Yu Mo was too handsome.

Such a little fresh meat, placed in the entertainment industry, could be called a top-tier celebrity.

But the result was, this little guy, instead of taking on the male lead in those romance idol dramas, went to film *Wolf Warrior 2*!

This in itself was already absurd enough.

Now he was also called the actor who left the deepest impression by Wu Jing, so she was very interested: "What, our Yu Mo, did he fight a lion one-on-one on the grassland!"

"*Pfft*..."

As soon as this was said, everyone was amused.

But only Wu Jing shook his head, and he smiled: "Fighting a lion one-on-one is not quite that, but it's not far off!"

"Actually, when we first started filming, the second male lead wasn't Yu Mo, but another actor. The price had already been negotiated, but that actor changed his mind at the last minute, maybe because our environment was too hard. Of course, we can understand!"

What...

There's such a thing?

As soon as this was said, many reporters, media, and fans were stunned.

They didn't expect that behind the seemingly successful *Wolf Warrior 2*, there was such a story!

……

"But at that time, we were ready to start filming, and there was no second male lead, what to do!"

Wu Jing continued to smile: "As a result, there was no other way, Yu Mo said, I'll do it! And then he, as the director, went up!"

Everyone: ".～？？？？!"

What, now, everyone was baffled.

Holy crap, after all this time, it turns out Yu Mo was a forced substitute!

"Damn, I was wondering why Yu Mo was willing to film, it turns out he was forced to take the spot!"

Now, everyone understood.

After all, many people had hoped Yu Mo would be the male lead, but this guy didn't seem interested in acting.

As a result, this time, filming *Wolf Warrior 2*, he quietly became the second male lead himself!

And his acting was quite perfect!

But the result was, it was because there was a lack of actors that he went up!

……

"Is this true!" Even the female host was stunned, couldn't help but look at Yu Mo curiously.

Facing these collective gazes, what could Yu Mo say? He could only touch his nose and say awkwardly: "Uh, I guess so!"

"*Pfft*..."

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter!"

Fine, everyone was amused by Yu Mo's awkward look.

But don't say, Yu Mo's Zhuo Zhuo Zhuo Yifan is really good!

"Does this count as a blessing in disguise!" Even the female host couldn't help but sigh: "Director Yu's acting is quite good!"

"Nonsense!" Speaking of this, Yu Mo was also very proud, saying directly: "I am a properly trained actor graduate!"

Fine...

It's here, it's here again!

Offstage, Yang Mi, hearing this, subconsciously covered her forehead.

A bit of a headache, this guy is starting to get cocky again!!

……

However, everyone was amused by Yu Mo.

"Hahaha, this guy Yu Mo is too interesting!!"

"Laughing to death, when can he not be so funny!"

"Just serious for two seconds, and he broke my defenses!"

They found it hard to imagine how such a handsome and funny guy could film a movie as blood-pumping as *Wolf Warrior 2*?

……

"And that's not all!"

"What, there's more!"

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately became interested again!

"What else!"

On stage, Wu Jing said excitedly: "Yu Mo can even shoot guns!"
