The results of "Wolf Warrior 2" were so unexpected that even Wu Jing himself did not expect such outstanding results. Now the production companies that were still waiting on the sidelines could not sit still and quickly launched their own military action movies.
Only God knows how good the quality is.
Many box office prediction agencies have raised their box office forecasts for "Wolf Warrior 2". Among them, Maoyan Movie believes that "Wolf Warrior 2" will have a box office of more than 5 billion.
Five billion, what kind of number is this? Many billionaires don’t have assets of five billion, but this movie can make money?
In fact, if there is a box office of 5 billion, it will not go into Wu Jing's pocket alone. The theater chain will share it. After paying taxes, several major producers will share it. If a contract for actors' share is signed, the actors will also be given a share.
.
Li Hyuk received a salary of 20 million for starring in "Wolf Warrior 2", and the remaining 50 million was converted into investment. In addition to the percentage contract signed, if the box office exceeds 5 billion, Li Hyuk can get the highest percentage.
A share of 15%. To put it simply, Li Hyuk alone can take away more than 300 million from the revenue of this movie.
Of course, this is just a simple and idealized calculation. In fact, the calculation of movie sharing is complicated. Don’t even think about understanding the income of a blockbuster movie for a year and a half. Moreover, the money is not given all at once, but in batches.
Yes, there are too many ways to manipulate it, and it won't be impossible to delay you for another year and a half.
Previously, there were many examples of Bo Gong Tang being criticized because of the issue of box office sharing. Although Li Hyuk has a good relationship with Wu Jing, he still has a long-term view on this aspect. He entrusted professional financial accountants to supervise every account, and also arranged for lawyers to supervise on his behalf.
.
In the business world, trust and friendship between people are not valuable, and brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Wu Jing expressed his understanding of Li He's actions, and he would do the same thing himself.
Overall, everyone is very happy. "Wolf Warrior 2" continues to overcome obstacles in theaters, Wu Jing has become a first-line movie star, and Li Hyuk has retained his title as a box office star.
After the road show promotion, Li Hyuk returned to the crew of "The Secret of the Dragon" to continue filming. The project schedule is very tight. In order to catch up with next summer's release, the film must be shot and produced as soon as possible.
In terms of post-production special effects, under the leadership of Industrial Light and Magic, a number of Chinese special effects companies have invested heavily in special effects production. The two directors Lu Yang and Wu Ershan have very clear requirements. They want the audience to feel that this thing really exists, and
Not just like it, but real.
The film was also shot with IMAX cameras. The crew rented three cameras in total. They are all very heavy cameras, but the image quality and effects captured are quite good. When it is released, it will be released in 3D and 2D versions.
Among them, imax is definitely very enjoyable.
"Come on, I'm stuck and can't get out." Jiang Chao waved his hand.
Li He, who was sitting in an escape position with Tan Songyun on his back, saw that Jiang Chao was stuck in a crack in the stone and couldn't get out. He couldn't hold back his laughter. Wang Ou and Tan Songyun also laughed, finding it so interesting.
The director shouted, Lu Yang came over and saw that Jiang Chao was stuck, he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "You fat guy is worthy of your reputation..."
"Don't make fun of me, hurry up and save me." Jiang Chao gave up the idea of struggling.
Finally, with the help of the staff, Jiang Chao was able to break free from the crack in the stone. Not to mention the effort. However, Wu Ershan had other ideas. While the prop team was processing the crack in the stone, he gave a dramatic speech to several principals. : "The moment the fat man got stuck just now gave me an idea. Think about it, there are snakes and flowers chasing him. At this time, the fat man got stuck. Everyone knows that something will happen if he can't break free. This kind of dramatic tension and tension will be great." Out."
"I'm not the director. Are you going to let me get stuck again?" Jiang Chao asked, wiping his sweat.
"I'm not letting you get stuck. Let's try shooting first. After the props team has finished it, we can experiment first." Wu Ershan said.
"Okay, but..."
After the props team was ready, Jiang Chao took another test shot, pretending to be stuck in a crack in the stone, with a frightened and struggling expression on his face. Looking at the green screen behind the crack, it seemed as if there was really a strange snake. Just like chasing after flowers.
The results of the two test shots were good. The crew officially shot, and all the cameras were ready. Hu Bayi, played by Li He, carried Ye Yixin, played by Tan Songyun, Shirley Yang, played by Wang Ou, supported Professor Chen, played by Li Xuejian, and Jiang Fatty Wang, played by Chao, was carrying big and small bags, and everyone was ready to run away.
"Okay, 1, 2, 3, turn on the camera, start..." Following the director's order, Fatty Wang shouted: "Old Hu, it's bad, the broken flower and the strange snake are chasing me."
Hu Bayi turned around with Ye Yixin on his back and suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He shouted hurriedly: "What are you still doing? Miss Yang, please take Professor Chen and leave first."
"The way back is blocked and we can't get out." Shirley Yang was a little desperate.
Fatty Wang pointed forward and said: "There was a crack there just now, let's hide there first."
"Then what are you waiting for? Hurry up, hurry up..." Several people hurriedly got through the cracks in the rocks, but the fat man was stuck in the cracks.
Hu Bayi was anxious. He put down Ye Yixin and turned around to save Fatty. Fatty hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Leave me alone, Old Hu, you guys go quickly."
How could Lao Hu and Shirley Yang not care, so they worked together to pull the fat man out of the crack in the stone. The strange snake and the flower were getting closer and closer, and they were about to catch up. At the critical moment, the fat man finally broke free from the crack in the stone. Before the three of them could rejoice, seeing the strange snake and flower about to pass through the cracks in the stone, Hu Bayi shouted: "Fat man, explosives..."
The fat man hurriedly found explosives, lit them and threw them out, blowing up the cracks in the rocks and blocking the gaps.
The explosives were a test shot, and the pyrotechnics team was very good at this. They accurately controlled the amount of explosives, which ensured that the rock model would be blown up without injuring anyone.
Because of the many test shots before, this time the shooting went very smoothly, and it was done in one go. During the post-production of special effects, the strange snakes and flowers were added. In fact, when Li Hyuk and the others performed just now, there was nothing behind them, just a green screen. That's all.
Some people think that such a performance without physical objects is difficult. After all, everything depends on the actor's own imagination, but for a professional actor, this is not difficult. In major acting schools, performance without physical objects is the foundation of the foundation. After all, taking an acting class is not like a crew. You can also spend a huge amount of money to build a real-life shooting. What you perform depends entirely on your own imagination.
Those who can't even do this are either not professional actors or have never taken acting classes seriously. They probably spent their four years of study in commercial announcements, and they must have spent less than a few days in school.
The shooting difficulty of "Jingjue Ancient City" was relatively easy. The crew had made sufficient preparations and built a large number of real scenes. The scenes in the tomb of Queen Jingjue were all shot in a studio.
Da Mi Mi was impressed when he came to visit the class, and he became even more confident in this project.
