For movies released in the same period, the Spring Festival schedule does not mean that it cannot accommodate multiple movies, but most of the time, it is almost a winner-takes-all situation.
If "Wolf Warrior" were a different type of film, it wouldn't worry the Wang brothers so much, but the problem is that the two films are indeed very homogeneous.
The same is a modern movie, the same is a shootout action movie, the same is a rescue theme.
The key is that the theme of "Wolf Warrior" is more effective than that of "Rapid Rescue".
Therefore, they also have a headache.
The two decided to watch the first trailer of "Wolf Warrior" first.
You can still see a lot of things from the trailer.
Soon, the two found the special page of "Wolf Warrior" on Penguin Video.
The first trailer just happened to be released.
Just seeing the number of views and the number of comments below, the Wang brothers just looked at each other.
The first trailer of "Wolf Warrior" was released less than an hour ago, but it has already been viewed more than half a million times, and the number is still jumping and rising rapidly.
Although this has a lot to do with Penguin Video's promotion of the trailer of "Wolf Warrior", it also means that the popularity of this movie is really high.
Then looking at the number of comments below, it’s already over 10,000!
"Let's take a look first! Take a look and then talk!" Wang Changlin said.
Clicking on the trailer, the two of them started watching it.
"Director Li Yi's work!"
Seeing this line of text may make movie fans smile knowingly, but for brothers Wang Changlin and Wang Changsen, they can only smile bitterly.
It can be said that many domestic film and television companies have been suffering from Li Yi for a long time.
The scene opens with a scene on a small boat under a cruise ship on the blue sea. Wu Qianjun, who is soaked to the skin, is holding a sniper rifle and aiming at the camera.
Suddenly he pulled the trigger and the bullet shot out of the barrel.
In the next scene, Wu Qianjun was drinking with a group of black brothers, and suddenly gunshots rang out on the street.
Then came various explosions and weapons from the rebels.
A bus was blown up into fireworks.
However, the next moment made the Wang brothers stunned. On the screen, a rebel carried an RPG on his shoulders and launched it in the direction of Leng Feng, played by Wu Qianjun. Leng Feng, played by Wu Qianjun, stretched out his hand in an emergency.
I pulled a spring bed over, and it actually blocked the rocket launcher!
The two people watching this scene looked at each other, what should I say?
They don't know if this makes sense, but it does look cool.
As soon as the camera turned, it was a trailer after all, which would not give them much time to think. The next moment, Leng Feng and other overseas Chinese evacuated to the embassy.
As warships galloped across the sea, Leng Feng saluted: "Former People's Liberation Army of China, Southeast Military Region, Special Operations Brigade, Wolf Warrior Squadron, Leng Feng!"
The next moment, an off-road vehicle broke through the glass and flew out. Leng Feng stood on the vehicle, holding an AK in his hand and shooting.
The vehicle was driving at high speed in the slums, with several vehicles chasing behind it. Amidst the hail of bullets, Leng Feng shot a gas tank on the side of the road. The gas exploded, blocking the pursuers.
The helicopter's tail was hit, and the helicopter fell and dragged on the ground, with the propeller scraping sparks on the ground.
A factory was besieged by several tanks.
The camera shifts, and on the warship, the captain roars: "Fire!"
The next moment, the warship's gun muzzle opened and missiles were fired one after another.
Wang Changsen and Wang Changlin were both stunned.
Although in some domestic war movies, scenes of artillery fire are not uncommon.
Especially in Anti-Japanese War films, TV series, etc., including the previous "Changjin Lake", there have been scenes of gunfire, but that is different from this scene.
It can be said that the scene of a warship, and a modern warship, firing a salvo of missiles is really very rare in domestic movies.
And this scene is indeed exciting for those who watch it. The tail flames caused by the missiles draw bright arcs in the air and fall on the enemy tank positions. For any Chinese, this kind of scene is unique in movies.
It's really hard to see, very hard.
Wang Changlin and Wang Changsen are both dead. What kind of homogeneous movie?
Isn't this good at all?
Although the special "Rapid Rescue" also has car chase scenes and explosion scenes, they have seen the sample before and thought it was good, but this is not the same as not knowing. They really can't compare.
"Rapid Rescue" is like time bombs and grenades, but what the hell, they just use missiles.
It's so outrageous.
However, what made them even more desperate was the last scene of the trailer, where Leng Feng stood on the car, his arm as a flagpole with a red flag on it, and walked through the war zone!
The final shot fell on a Chinese passport.
There is this sentence written on the passport: "No matter what dangers you encounter overseas, please remember that there is a strong motherland behind you!"
Such words made even Wang Changsen and Wang Changlin unable to hold back their blood.
But after they cooled down, they looked at each other again.
The final shot is of the first sniper bullet fired by Wu Qianjun hitting the pirate who was carrying the RPG on a speedboat. The RPG rose into the sky and fell: "On New Year's Day, hot blood is released!
"
The trailer is over. The trailer is not very long, and it actually doesn't reveal much about the content.
But it was enough to remind them of a lot, and it was enough for them to understand some of the context of this movie.
Although they knew early on that "Wolf Warrior" filmed by Li Yi was based on the evacuation incident, at this moment, they still couldn't calm down.
Because knowing is one thing, but seeing is another!
They thought about the earlier evacuation incident, and the most liked comment from netizens was: The value of a passport does not lie in how many countries it can exempt from visas, but in how many countries it can bring you home in times of crisis!
I feel so moved that I ask my motherland to take me home!
Some people who have never been abroad may not be able to understand it, but brothers Wang Changsen and Wang Changlin have been abroad frequently, and they know deeply that these are really not lies.
In China, they are the bosses of private film and television giants, so naturally they are guests wherever they go.
But when they go abroad, even for them, it is often difficult to have any identity. When encountering some problems, the first thing they think of is to ask for help at home and ask the ambassador for help.
Perhaps the Chinese passport is not as visa-free as the passports of some foreign countries, but compared to those more distant places, being able to take us home safely from any place is the most reassuring and proud!
"What should I do?" Wang Changsen looked at Wang Changlin.
Although he didn't say anything about what to do, the two brothers had a perfect understanding at this moment.
"It's difficult!" Wang Changlin said with a bitter smile.
Isn’t it just difficult?
Although it is only a trailer, it can be imagined that, leaving aside the plot of this movie, these things alone are enough to do a lot of publicity.
