Zeng Li, who had returned to the capital, received a call from Wu Dong. Although she was happy, she was quite dissatisfied.
“It’s pretty good to be able to show it in theaters!”
The agent laughed and said: "I didn't expect that Director Wu Dong would actually get involved with China Film Group. As long as this film does well, I'm afraid the future will be limitless!"
"It has nothing to do with us!"
Zeng Li said disapprovingly: "Besides, the strength of his studio is quite average!"
It is unlikely that this golden flower in Chinese dramas would not have a favorable impression of Wu Dong, who has a special temperament, when filming "Kung Fu Girl".
After all, she has seen too many unreliable people in the entertainment industry. With a man like Wu Dong who can give her a sense of security, her impression will not be too bad.
But because she has been in the entertainment industry for many years, she has seen and heard too much, and because of her own personality, although she has a good impression of her, she has no plans to go further.
Age is not a problem, the key is Wu Dong's mediocre reaction, which makes Zeng Li feel unhappy.
In addition, she wasn't very optimistic about Wu Dong's prospects. She estimated that there wouldn't be many opportunities for contact or cooperation in the future, so she didn't take it to heart.
"How could it be that it doesn't matter?"
The agent disagreed, saying: "Recently I read a novel written by director Wu Dong, and the more I read it, the more enjoyable I became!"
"If the response to "Kung Fu Girl" is good this time, there may be plans for a sequel. Won't you have a chance then?"
"Then let's wait until the opportunity comes!"
Zeng Li was noncommittal, because the film was screened at midnight, which even saved her the trouble of running a road show.
Not to mention Zeng Li's reaction, the coal boss from Jin Province, surnamed Li, was quite happy after receiving the call.
He didn't expect that Wu Dong would actually get the film released.
Regardless of the box office performance, this is a huge success for the well-known coal boss.
Not to mention anything else, after the film is screened, he will definitely invite many colleagues to watch the film. This is a must-have experience.
In some places in Shanxi Province, the movies he invests in will definitely not be screened only at midnight. This energy is still there.
While I was in a happy mood, I didn't forget to make a promise to Wu Dong on the other end of the phone.
If the film receives a good response, he will definitely invest in Wu Dong's sequel.
Similar to Zeng Li's agent, he also read the novel written by Wu Dong and even became a member of the chasing army. Naturally, he knew that "The Kung Fu Doctor" had too much material to shoot.
As long as the plot in the novel is filmed, how can it be so satisfying?
Wu Dong chuckled and hung up the phone. Naturally, he would not take the promise of Mr. Li's coal boss to heart.
Next, he just needs to do a good job of publicity on the Internet.
He is confident that readers will definitely support it and may even bring him different surprises.
Soon, a surprising piece of information broke out in Wu Dong's book club.
The film and television spin-off "Kung Fu Girl" of the novel "Kung Fu Miracle Doctor in the City" has been filmed by the author himself and will be screened in theaters at midnight at the end of February.
As soon as the news came out, readers were extremely excited.
"I have been waiting for this day since the short film "The Kung Fu Doctor" came out. I didn't expect to see the movie so soon!"
"Yeah, I don't know what kind of extra chapter the so-called extra chapter is?"
"No matter what, I will definitely support the movie after it is released!"
"..."
The readership group was discussing how lively it was, and it quickly expanded to the entire website.
This time the website did not follow the recommendation, but such a hot topic was quickly promoted in online forums.
It should be said that this is the first movie adapted from an online novel, and it has greatly shocked the online literary circle.
It has even influenced some top masters to have the idea of establishing audio-visual studios and managing their own works.
Why can Wu Dong transform his work into a video short film or even a movie that can be screened in theaters, but they can't?
Regardless of their evaluation of Wu Dong's novel, they have all made a decision to watch the movie once it is released.
Maybe I will have to learn from Wu Dong about this aspect of adaptation in the future.
It can be said that at this time, the entire Internet writing circle is paying attention to Wu Dong's first film.
Any qualified writer or reader who has some thoughts or particularly likes the novel "The Kung Fu Doctor" will not miss the opportunity to watch it as soon as possible.
As for the movie being shown at midnight, it doesn't matter at all.
Which online writer and reader is not a night owl who often stays up late?
Seeing that the response from the online literary circle was so intense, Wu Dong struck while the iron was hot and released a short trailer, which indeed caused another sensation.
At that time, the novel website did not have a video playback function, so naturally you could only watch it on demand on a dedicated video playback platform.
The content of the trailer is very simple, it is the scene of the heroine standing still.
Clicking on the play button, a burst of cheerful and leisurely music sounded, and the heroine, dressed in a shabby school uniform, walked briskly up the plum blossom piles of different heights.
Accompanied by the music, the heroine runs back and forth on the plum blossom pile as if in rhythm.
At the same time, the inner monologue has been practicing plum blossom pile since I was a child, and now I have finally reached the level of proficiency, and then I have a full set of boxing classics.
Then the narration sounded, using modern medical and scientific terms, accompanying the ups and downs of the heroine's figure, telling the principle and scientific aspects of plum blossom piles.
In the picture, the figure of the heroic and beautiful heroine blurs into a dynamic pattern of muscle movement.
As the figure rises and falls, the muscle lines directly exposed on the screen are also constantly moving.
According to science, walking on the plum blossom pile is to exercise the muscles and bones of the whole body.
Because the plum blossom piles are of different heights, the exercise effects on various parts of the muscles and bones are also different.
As the screen continues to rotate, you can see very clearly that even the musculoskeletal groups that are rarely used in daily life have received a certain amount of exercise.
Moreover, the plum blossom pile is a step-by-step musculoskeletal exercise method that has been slowly formed by senior warriors through countless experiments.
When walking the plum blossom pile, which step to take first and which step to take later are all based on particularity and scientific basis.
If you make the wrong move, not only will you easily fall, but you may even injure your muscles and bones.
Only by walking according to the steps and directions left by our predecessors can we fully exercise all the muscles and bones of the body from easy to difficult, from shallow to deep.
It's not that there is no room for improvement, but it is only possible to come up with such ideas based on your own situation, scientific summary, and your own understanding of plum blossom piles to a superb level.
The trailer ends with the heroine finishing her workout and jumping off the plum blossom pile.
But the audience was still unsatisfied. They didn't expect that the traditional plum blossom pile could be explained in this way, and the effect of cultivation would be so obvious?
The animated graphics during exercise, the heroine's understanding of traditional exercise, and the narration's analysis using modern science and medical techniques all deeply attracted the audience.
At least, the trailer makes them feel quite real, as if things are just as they should be.
As soon as the trailer came out, not only the writers and readers in the Internet literary circle who have been paying attention to this matter, but also those who like to watch Wu Dong's videos are also very optimistic about it.
Most of the audience now knew that Wu Dong had filmed a spin-off of "The Kung Fu Doctor" and it would be released in theaters soon.
What I didn’t say is that any audience who is attracted by the trailer and has money and leisure will definitely not hesitate to support it.
On the online forum, there were a lot of posts talking about the extra chapter of "The Kung Fu Doctor" and they became very popular.
When a netizen posted a post asking if he could achieve the same effect as in the movie if he practiced plum blossom pile at this time, it immediately aroused even more heated discussions.
Some people say that everything in the trailer is fake, it just looks like that, and whoever takes it seriously will lose.
But some netizens said that this is definitely true. He has also practiced martial arts and can see the truth in it.
Naturally, there are still some who are dubious, but in short, the discussion in major online forums has never stopped, and it is extremely lively.
It wasn't until Wu Dong specially opened a chapter to explain that the training methods and effects in the trailer were real. Although it calmed the controversy, it also triggered a greater heated discussion.
He explained very clearly in the leaflet that in ancient times or the Republic of China, the productivity conditions at that time were insufficient, and the exercise equipment that could be produced was naturally simple and practical, and cost-effectiveness had to be considered.
If you feel that plum blossom piles are too boring or difficult to exercise, you can spend a certain amount of money to purchase high-end sports equipment that can exercise the muscles and bones of the whole body. The effect should be similar.
It can be said that with the continuous development of productivity and the continuous advancement of science and medicine, ordinary people can use scientific exercise methods to bring their physical strength to a certain level of practicing external skills.
There is no need to stick to traditional exercise methods. As long as the same effect can be achieved, it can naturally follow the exerciser's preferences.
These words are definitely Wu Dong’s heartfelt words, as well as some of his views on training when laying the foundation, which naturally received a certain response.
In short, because of the upcoming release of "Kung Fu Girl", there has been a huge upsurge of discussion in both the online literary circle and the circle of video enthusiasts.
Unfortunately, at this time, traditional film and television companies did not pay much attention to online publicity.
Although China Film Group agreed to help distribute "Kung Fu Girl", it didn't pay much attention to it.
After all, it's just a movie shown at midnight, so no matter how loud the discussion on the Internet is, it won't arouse their interest.
Unless "Kung Fu Girl" can break out of the entertainment industry and become popular on the Internet and in newspapers, don't expect China Film to pay much attention to it.
Although Wu Dong was unhappy, he didn't say much. At this time, he had already started his internship, and at the same time he had to deal with some things in the college. He didn't have much time to deal with external affairs...
