Chapter 219 Main Theme

Once it becomes a hot search, more people will naturally pay attention to it.

In fact, the cast of this movie cannot be said to be very luxurious. The most popular one right now is Luo Quan. Although Wu Jin is one of the top martial arts actors in the mainland, he has not been financially able to be a director. The previous film "Wolf Warrior" "Although the box office is good, the reputation is really not that good.

As for Qin Yi, he started his career in idol dramas in his early years. He was popular for a while, but soon his popularity dropped. He has always been in a tepid state, and his reputation from passers-by is not high.

Apart from Luo Quan, Mr. Wu Hang is probably the most popular among the public. He just filmed a TV series a while ago. This TV series was the most popular TV series in 2016. He played a very wonderful role in it, and I was instantly attracted to it. A lot of powder.

If this announcement had been made two months in advance, it is estimated that even if it is a hot search, it will not cause any trouble.

But now the situation is different. Luo Quan's popularity has brought extraordinary popularity to the movie. The number of comments soon exceeded 50,000, and most of them were fans of Luo Quan and some passers-by.

"When did Luo Quan go to film a movie? Why didn't any news about it be revealed?"

“At first glance, I don’t pay much attention to Luo Quan’s Twitter and Bilibili updates.”

"She probably went to Africa to film at the beginning of the year. Her Weibo was blocked at that time. It's normal not to know."

"I remember, wasn't it because I was caught taking pictures while filming with Qin Yi, and it became a hot search? Zhao Shu also broke up with Qin Yi because of this."

"That matter was simply Zhao Shu's unreasonable trouble. Qin Yi just said a few words to Luo Quan, and she thought Qin Yi had cheated on her. She also pretended to be a victim and posted on Weibo to make Qin Yi a different person. "

"I remember, didn't Zhao Shu's fans want to tear Luo Quan apart? As a result, fans of Luo Quan, Wen Xia, and Lyon got a wave of backlash, and their own super chat was forced to be banned. I laughed at it."

"That's a long way to go. How was the filming of this movie? What is it about? Can you tell me more about it?"

"It's similar to "Wolf Warrior 1". The main theme of the movie is about the protagonist's story of asserting his country's prestige in Africa. Three people picked a mercenary group."

"This plot... sounds so fantasy..."

"It's this kind of routine again. I'm tired of watching it. These domestic filmmakers like these dramas and insist on adding some main themes, thinking this is patriotic."

"I think it's pretty good. Anyone can use the routine. The key depends on the quality of the movie."

“I think that just because their crew dares to go to Africa to shoot on-site and does not require stunt doubles for action scenes, it is already better than more than 99% of domestic filmmakers.

Moreover, the reputation of director Wu Jin and teacher Wu Hang is still guaranteed, and they are both experienced actors. "

"Where's Luo Quan? It feels like a vase inside, and there aren't many shots."

"How many scenes do you expect a woman to have in a gunfight action movie? It's not another kind of action movie."

"???? Something is wrong with you!"

"Let's wait for the details of the premiere and the word-of-mouth after the premiere. If it's good, we can support one. Anyway, there haven't been any blockbusters recently."

"Just to Luo Quan, I have to pay for this movie ticket no matter what. This is her screen debut!"

"Why does this sound so much like driving?"

"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense (dog head)."

……………………

It can be seen that the public still has a lot of complaints about the subject matter of this kind of movie. Fortunately, the main creators have no bad points, and most people express their expectations.

The initial word-of-mouth and popularity were good, which made director Wu Jin, who has been following Weibo, breathe a sigh of relief.

This movie has put all his hard work and wealth into it. If the box office is not ideal, not to mention losing everything, but life will become tight for a long time.

Next, it’s time to deal with the upcoming interviews.

The next day, the four main creators appeared on the China Film Weekly program.

It's said to be a weekly, but it's actually an interview program. It's generally used to recommend movies that are either well-received or not popular, as well as upcoming movies.

This program is considered the top official recommendation channel in China. It will be broadcast on CCTV 6 on time at 7 o'clock every night, and will also be broadcast simultaneously on the website.

Before going on stage, a group of people were applying makeup to Wu Jin and others backstage, while Luo Quan sat idle and watched them.

Because it is an indoor talk show, the lights will not be very bright. With Luo Quan's skin, he does not need to wear any makeup.

She already has icy skin and jade bones, which is already fair enough. Applying foundation will make her skin color look a little strange, and it will easily form a color difference with her body.

The guests were putting on makeup, and the host was not idle either, also touching up his makeup backstage.

This host has two programs, one is a film and television interview on Channel 6, and the other is a celebrity interview on Channel 3 in the afternoon.

This host, Luo Quan, has seen a lot of weird videos about her on station B. She and her world Lu Yu are considered the two most talented hosts in China. They often ask questions on the show that make the guests confused or difficult to answer. question.

But in most cases, this Dong Xue host is more normal than her world, and many questions are asked with a relatively clear bottom line.

However, I don’t know if it is because of this reason that the ratings of her talk show have always been lower than those in the world.

Probably only like Lu Yu can the program have topics and ratings.

Although some celebrities know that they will be embarrassed if they go up, and even mention some of their dark histories, they are still very keen to go on Lu Yu's show, and use this method to create hype to increase the popularity.

As Lu Yu's "word-of-mouth" gradually became famous in China, every episode of her program became a hot search.

In comparison, Dong Xue's program seems relatively ordinary, but after all, it is a CCTV program, and it is still on CCTV6, so the ratings are guaranteed.

Dong Xue, who walked in to touch up her makeup, looked at Luo Quan while flipping through her notebook.

Women pay great attention to women who are more beautiful than her, and will always find and lock them in the first place.

Especially a ridiculously beautiful woman like Luo Quan.

So, Dong Xue came over:

"Are you Luo Quan?"

Luo Quan nodded: "Yes, you must be Host Dong. I have long admired your name."

Dong Xue was curious: "You put on your makeup so quickly?"

Luo Quan explained: "No, the makeup artist said I have good skin and don't need makeup."

Dong Xue was surprised: "So you don't wear makeup, so your skin is too good. What skin care products do you usually use?"

"I don't usually use skin care products. Does it really count if I have...Dabao SOD honey?" Luo Quan thought for a while and said.

The weather in Beijing has been relatively dry recently, so Luo Quan bought some Dabao to keep it moist to avoid peeling.

Although she has a thick skin, she is still made of flesh and blood and is relatively sensitive to changes in the environment. It would be too troublesome to wait for something to go wrong before taking care of her.

"Only Dabao?" Dong Xue's eyes widened, "I don't believe it."

"It's true." Luo Quan said, opening his schoolbag. In addition to chargers, headphones, various cards and some change, there was only one bottle of Dabao, which was a special large bottle.

There are none of the common cosmetics and skin care products found in girls’ bags.

When Dong Xue saw this scene, her expression was strange: "Luo Quan, you are different from all the female celebrities I have seen."

"What's different?" Luo Quan straightened his hair, puzzled.

"First of all, clothes." Dong Xue smiled, "After all, this is also a CCTV program. When female celebrities come to our place, they all wear high-end luxury brands. You just come here dressed like this at home.

Of course, I don't think there's anything wrong with you dressing like this. It's an interview in the first place, so guests can dress as they please. Besides, you're so beautiful, so what you wear doesn't really have much impact. "

Luo Quan smiled awkwardly: "I don't usually have many good-looking clothes, and my taste in dressing is really bad, so I can only wear something simple."

"Also, this is the first time I have seen a female celebrity go out for a show, carrying a schoolbag." Dong Xue pointed to Luo Quan's army green backpack, a little dumbfounded.

Luo Quan scratched his head: "Those satchels are too small and can't hold too many things, and they are also expensive. I didn't buy any of them..."

Dong Xue sighed: "You can make so much money and still be so simple and frugal. This is really the first time I have seen an actress like you."

"Really? I don't believe it." Seeing that the atmosphere was not bad, Luo Quan shivered.

Dong Xue was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

This sentence is also the most well-known mantra of her and senior sister Lu Yu, and it has almost become a golden saying on the Internet.

After chatting for a few more words, Wu Jin's makeup had been put on, and all the debugging at the front desk had been completed.

Dong Xue has already arrived on stage first and started to guide this episode of the program.

Because the protagonist of this interview is "Wolf Warrior 2" and Wu Jin, there is not much introduction to Luo Quan. The focus is mainly on "Wolf Warrior" and "Wolf Warrior 2".

After a brief introduction, the four main creators appeared on stage one after another amid the applause of the audience.

For Wu Jin and others, this kind of occasion has been here countless times, but Luo Quan still finds it quite novel.

I seem to have participated in an indoor talk show like this once in Japan. It was also my first time on TV after my debut, and I collaborated with a very good veteran.

As a supporting role, Luo Quan didn't have as many opportunities to chat with the host on stage as he did backstage. Dong Xue basically put the words in the mouths of Wu Jin and Wu Hang.

The former is a director and leading actor, while the latter is a senior who has been in the film and television industry for decades, so he still needs to be respected.

Luo Quan and Qin Yi could only sit nearby and laugh, typical outsiders.

Fortunately, Director Wu Jin didn't monopolize all the time. He didn't chat for long before he put the words on Luo Quan and Qin Yi's lips.

"Actually, Qin Yi and Luo Quan should take a lot of credit for the successful completion of this movie." Director Wu Jin said.

Dong Xue had been a host for so many years, but she couldn't figure out what Director Wu Jin meant. She immediately picked up the topic and asked, "Why do you say that?"

Director Wu Jin said with a smile: "Actually, I made a lot of determination to shoot "Wolf Warrior 2" this time. I know that the current theme-themed movies are not popular, but in fact, it is just because the works in recent years are not very popular. good.

"Wolf Warrior 1" has a box office of more than 1 billion, which shows that people are actually willing to pay for movies with a main theme. Of course, the prerequisite is an excellent movie with a main theme.

So I thought before that I must make the best theme movie in China in the past ten years.

However, if you want to reach the best level, you must first have a good script, and secondly, money.

The problem with the script is easy to solve, but the second problem is very troublesome. "

Dong Xue frowned and asked with concern: "Halfway through filming, the crew is short of money?"

"That's not true." Wu Jin shook his head, "This show was short of money from the beginning."

The audience laughed.

Wu Jin continued: "In order to take the best pictures, I used all kinds of props and equipment of international first-class standards. I originally invested 50 million.

At that time, I thought to myself, those big productions in the past claimed to have invested 100 million to 200 million, and the special effects were pretty similar, and the male and female protagonists accounted for more than half of the film's salary, so I would be free to be the male protagonist, and I would find a female protagonist. It's not famous and it doesn't cost much money. After deducting the salary, isn't the investment in props and special effects in this movie almost the same as those in big productions? "

Dong Xue nodded: "After calculation, it seems that this is really the case."

"Yeah, I even think there is more." Wu Jin smiled, and then sighed: "But who knows, with this little money, if you want to make a really big movie, a good movie, you won't even have the start-up capital. not enough.

Major Hollywood movies often cost one to two hundred million U.S. dollars, which translates into more than one billion yuan, which is almost as high as the box office of "Wolf Warrior 1". "

Dong Xueshen agreed: "That's why we can make so many commercial blockbusters."

Wu Jin continued: "Fortunately, this is not a science fiction film, and there are not many special effects. I later solicited investment from everywhere, and then used my own savings to pool it together. Finally, I raised 100 million to complete the start-up capital. .

Then, it was time to choose the actors. "

Dong Xue laughed: "Let me guess, Luo Quan and Qin Yi's salary should not be high."

Wu Jin nodded: "Looking at it from today's perspective, it's a cabbage price, and the two of them combined are less than two million yuan.

However, Luo Quan and Qin Yi did not show any signs of slacking off because of the lack of money. I have always felt that they are much more dedicated than those stars who often earn tens or even hundreds of millions of dollars in salary. "

"Can you please tell me, what do you know?" Dong Xue has been a supporting role for so long, and finally asked a very explosive question at a critical moment.

No matter what Wu Jin's answer is next, after tonight's show is broadcast, it is estimated that the hot search will be on the top.

Although Wu Jin knew that Dong Xue had dug a hole for him, he was not afraid and spoke.

Ps. Thanks to book friend Xiaoxiao Menggui for the book coins, thank you!
