Friends who like Wu Jing or love to watch disaster movies are blessed!
According to the latest news, Wu Jing entered Hollywood and partnered with the famous British action actor Jason Statham to star in the epic monster movie "Megalodon 2".
A few days ago, Wu Jing has forwarded official news on social platforms, and also posted stills in the crew, it seems that the second part is already in filming, if there is no problem, next year will see the movie.
In fact, it is not a surprise that "Megalodon" can produce a sequel.
In 2018, the first "Megalodon" was released in the summer, the global box office was only 523 million US dollars, but in China, it won 1 billion yuan at the box office, the filmmaker easily returned 130 million yuan, made a steady profit, and naturally the second part also had a play.
In the beginning, why was "Megalodon" not optimistic? It is mainly related to the part of Sino-foreign co-production.
After all, there have been cases of overturning before, "Golden Cicada Shell 2", "Pacific Rim 2", "King Kong Skull Island", and "The Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou are no exception.
Most importantly, the heroine of the film, Li Bingbing, is not the first time to make a Sino-foreign co-production, and the Ada King in "Resident Evil" is still well portrayed, but in front of "Megalodon", a "Mystery Nest" word-of-mouth box office is unbearable, and the failure case of living and escaping is unbearable.
So when "Megalodon" has not yet been released, it is the first to encounter a wave of bad reviews. The Chinese and foreign actors that appear on the shoddy poster are like p, and it is difficult for the audience not to question it, because they have been deceived by too many similarities, whenever they go to the movie for the international production emphasized in the publicity, they sit in the theater only to find that this is a hodgepodge.
Among them, the biggest reason for the "rotten" in bad movies is that there are many plot bugs and unreasonable plots, just like treating the audience as a fool and rubbing IQ on the ground.
But there is a saying that the first part of "Megalodon" can be regarded as a rare clear stream in Chinese and foreign co-productions, barely able to cross the passing line, and even a little anti-routine in the reasonable plot.
Friends who have seen the movie may be most impressed by this paragraph.
When the investment boss is ambitious and takes his own hands to catch sharks for research, he falls into the sea and is almost eaten, but who would have thought that just when he thought he had escaped a disaster, he was abandoned by his pig teammates? What's even more dramatic is that he was directly swallowed by the megalodon this time.
The film is not only full of suspense and horror, but also the visual effects are well created, making the audience feel as if they have followed the actors on a thrilling underwater adventure.
More importantly, this time Li Bingbing is no longer the attribute of other Chinese actors to make cameos in Hollywood movies, and she belongs purely to the heroine of the Eight Classics.
Think of the past many domestic actors and various foreign celebrities to cooperate, but only the fear of playing soy sauce domination. Li Bingbing's performance in the film really brought a surprise to the audience, as a person who has won the post-film award, her English accent is not authentic, but it will not make people play, people to 45 years old maintenance such as 30 years old, and Jason standing together full of CP sense.
Strictly speaking, "Megalodon" is not a work that is justified for "Sino-foreign co-production must be a bad film", it is at most a good cinema popcorn movie, simply watching it for a while, but there is no strong sense of aftertaste after walking through the cinema.
It is precisely because the visual elements of the first part are greater than the others, and the filmmakers also see the benefits of the series being able to produce a sequel, and the second part is ready to be filmed quickly to catch up with the date.
I have to say that now that Sino-foreign co-productions have mastered the traffic password and can invite Wu Jing to participate, the box office appeal is instantly guaranteed.
As the first person in the domestic film history box office, Wu Jing's series of works have achieved excellent results, with a total of 28.3 billion box office, and it is difficult to find another actor to compete with him in China.
After filming "Chosin Lake", Wu Jing's commercial value has risen by one level, and the most representative work "The Wandering Earth" will also be released next year.
Wu Jing not only has a great increase in domestic fame, but also abroad's popularity can not be underestimated, according to known sources, his scheduling volume has come to 2030, and the cooperation is a well-known foreign action superstar.
Previously, Johnson, Van Diesel, Star Lord Chris, Stallone and Wu Jing all had a group photo in the same frame, and Van Diesel called him a brother on the external network platform, which is suspected of increasing the heat of cooperation between the two sides.
Chris, the actor who plays Xingjue, once promoted "Jurassic", Wu Jing sent strong support to take a photo with him, and then the filmmakers finalized the project "Saigon Bodyguard" co-produced by the two, which is currently in preparation, and I believe that good news will also come out.
However, the most surprising thing is that Wu Jing took the lead in partnering with Jason, who has never been in the same frame, among so many Expected Hollywood actors.
But no matter what, "Megalodon 2" is undoubtedly full of many gimmicks before it is released, and it is very likely that it will continue the first box office story and become a more promising blockbuster than 1 billion.
As for whether the heroine of the first part, Li Bingbing, will return is still to be determined, but there are already two action superstars joining, I believe that the film focuses more on Wu Jing and Jason, even if Li Bingbing has starred, the role will not be too much.
I hope that the second part can point out the unknown natural contradiction of Dr. Zhang's sentence that "human beings are exploring and destroying" and achieve a deeper intention. In this way, why worry about the lack of chinese and foreign co-productions?
