In 2015, Wu Jing put together 150 million yuan to prepare for the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2", in order to save some film remuneration, he had to ask his old friend Yu Qian for help: "Brother, brother left you a role, 800,000, why not do it?" Yu Qian immediately said after listening: "Hey, don't mention money! I don't give money I act! ”
At the beginning, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" won 300 million yuan at the box office in 7 days, creating a movie myth. In order to make "Wolf Warrior", Wu Jing spent 7 years preparing.
The success of "Wolf Warrior" also made a qualitative change in Wu Jing's career, and he successfully transformed from a martial arts actor to a well-known director.
With the first part to pave the way, Wu Jingtie was determined to shoot "Wolf Warrior II", and his wife Xie Nan mortgaged the house to support her husband.
Wu Jingdong cobbled together and saved up 150 million, but this 150 million investment sounds scary, but it is actually extremely shabby.
The female number one that was originally scheduled, because of the temporary need to add a piece of remuneration, did not do it. The rich second generation in the film originally wanted to invite Wang Sicong to show his face and engage in gimmicks, but Wang Classmate also refused with "not bad that little money"!
Speaking of which, isn't it too small a budget and too cold a film salary? But Wu Jing said, "We don't choose the expensive one, only the right one." ”
What's right? Cheap and easy to use, naturally right. Therefore, Wu Jing invited his old friend Lu Jingshan to replace the female number one, and the rich second generation in the film, he found Zhang Han to star.
Zhang Han, who is accustomed to acting in idol dramas, urgently needs a hard work transformation, and Wu Jinghui's eye recognition just gave Zhang Han a chance. Needless to say, Zhang Han's performance was really a hundred times stronger than Wang Sicong's imagination.
And there is an old overseas Chinese role in the film, Wu Jing could not find a suitable candidate for a while, and his wife Xie Nan proposed that he try his old friend Yu Qian.
Yu Qian's age is older than Wu Jing, and his prestige is not generally high, Wu Jing does not dare to fool Brother Qian, he can only tell the truth.
"Brother, I have an old overseas Chinese character in this movie, can you help your brother take a trip?" The film remuneration is not high. 800,000. ”
Yu Qian listened, and his eyes crossed: "Don't mention the money, I have to go if I don't give money, brother!"
Wu Jing's wife Xie Nan was a regular visitor to the Deyun Society, and no matter how she opened the box and sealed the box, she only had time to go to the scene.
One after the other, Yu Qian's family and Xie Nan's family became familiar with each other, and the two families also participated in the variety show "Happiness Trio" together.
Yu Qian is an old Beijing, Wu Jing is also an old Beijing, both of them grew up under the roots of the imperial city, and their ancestors are all figures with heads and faces, so they are very tacit in communication.
Brothers at this level, the film remuneration is only a number, even if Wu Jing only paid 800,000, it did not affect Yu Qian's wonderful performance at all.
After all, before the deyun society became popular, Yu Qian was already a regular in film and television dramas, and there was a wonderful performance of Yu Teacher in "The Golden Powder Family".
The routine of "killing familiarity" is used by Wu Jing to be familiar with the road, because in the first part, he is so foolish to send Xiao Zhou Xiaoou.
People who have heard the Zero Point Band cannot be unaware of Zhou Xiaoou, and those who have watched "Conquest" must also know Zhou Xiaoou.
In recent years, this brother has not concentrated on singing, but has played soy sauce in various film and television dramas, but the audience is extremely buying, because people's acting skills do not lose small fresh meat.
The image of Zhou Xiaoou's big bald head is too suitable for playing a villain, and Wu Jing set Zhou Xiaoou in his heart at the beginning of the filming of "Wolf Warrior".
"Hey, buddy, there's a particularly important role, please play it."
When Zhou Xiaoou listened, he was quite valued. He agreed without even thinking about it, and for this reason, he also pushed off the invitation of several TV series, waiting to show his skills in "Wolf Warrior".
But when he arrived at the scene, Zhou Xiaoou found that he was fooled, and it was a big play to play for 5 minutes, not to mention that he was headshot as soon as he came up!
Zhou Xiaoou is a very timid person, he never shoots war scenes, and he especially cherishes his body. But everyone is in the crew, and there is no way to escape.
His explosion scene took 7 full shots. It is also difficult to think about Zhou Xiaoou, others have a hair to cover their headshots, but Zhou Xiaoou is a big bald head, and can only take two coins to block the temple.
As soon as there was an explosion, Zhou Xiaoou blinked, and this blink of an eye appeared to be a drama, Wu Jing was about to shout the card, and finally Zhou Xiaoou took out the spirit of playing with his life, and only reluctantly survived these five minutes.
Fortunately, the final front of "Wolf Warrior" is worthy of Zhou Xiaoou's efforts. From this point of view, Wu Jing's two "Wolf Warriors" can win a big victory, which is the result of the brothers and sisters.
As you may know, the filming environment of the two "Wolf Warriors" is extremely difficult.
When the first film was filmed on location in Nanjing, the temperature was as high as 40 degrees due to the hot weather and tank exhaust, and 5 actors were shocked on the spot on the first day of shooting.
When the crew hired extras in the surrounding areas, they increased the film remuneration to 300 yuan a day and no one loved to act, between money and life, the mass actors chose to save their lives.
Ni Dahong was even in a blasting scene, accidentally injured the inner thigh of the flying film, and the blood was dripping.
The scorching heat in Nanjing made the crew all sweat, and Wu Jing was injured many times, but for the progress of the film, he could only endure the pain.
The shooting environment of the second part is more difficult, and everyone not only has to deal with the hot weather in Africa, but also cooperates with the director's requirements to complete the difficult shooting part.
In "Wolf Warrior II", there are a lot of shooting explosions, fierce firepower and great power! Cars alone blew up hundreds.
At the same time, Wu Jing also asked for a shot of a tank drift, and the cameraman was almost cut off, which was very dangerous.
You must remember the 6 minutes of underwater shots at the beginning of the film, which were shot for 15 days, and the actors and photographers soaked in the water for 10 hours.
@Sogra Brother
Personally, I think that the reason why the "Wolf Warrior" series can be successful is because Wu Jing has changed the "capital structure", spending most of the funds on venues and props, and spending a small amount of funds on film remuneration, which is the right way to make classic films.
Obviously, the current domestic films are completely inverted, the male and female No. 1 took half of the funds to do the film remuneration, leaving only a small part for Fu Huadao, the director can only discount the quality of the film in order to save money!
