The popularity of "Wolf Warrior" has caused controversy to gradually increase along with the continuous accumulation of box office.
Even if Li Qian said a lot of good things about the movie in interviews, it would have little effect. After all, this is not his movie, and not many people would regard his words as a classic as a director.
After all, the director is a person behind the scenes, not a star. If he were a star, he would probably have many loyal fans, but to be honest, the director's fans mostly like a director from the beginning of his works.
This is not the same as an actor. If you like an actor, most of the time you like him not the movie, but the person in that movie. When you really like an actor's character, it is easy to naturally like the actor. After all, the character
They have the same face as the actor.
If you like an actor, you will subconsciously attribute many advantages to him and ignore many shortcomings.
As for a director, unless he is a die-hard movie fan, ordinary movie fans only like his works more than him as a person.
Therefore, Li Qian's words did not substantially change the online view of the movie "Wolf Warrior". The controversy continues with no sign of abating.
"But it made me laugh. Some people are really stupid during this period. A third-rate movie is like a chicken blood shot. It seems that Ma Xiaogang is right. Domestic audiences are ignorant and have no taste."
Yes, this is the only movie worthy of watching."
"It's sad. They are a bunch of brainwashed people. They were deceived by a bad movie. They are still clamoring all day long about "anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away it is." It's not a shame."
"The cents are thick. If you have no bones, you will look down on people with backbone. When such people go to war, they must be fed peanuts first, otherwise they will lead the way."
"I've been really depressed these days. The original saying "Anyone who offends China will be punished no matter how far away" was said by Chen Tang in the Western Han Dynasty. So Niubi has the ability to go underground to settle accounts with him? Patriotism has nothing to do with me!
"
"I'm just confused, why are there people everywhere on the Internet insulting patriots, but in reality I don't see any such people. Where do these people come from?"
"We all live in the sun, so of course we can't see such people anymore. They are all like rats and maggots, living in dark corners."
"If I had a gun in hand, I would really like to stand up to these idiots."
"It's a good domestic tough guy movie. Even if it has flaws, no matter what, at least it's enjoyable to watch and gives you a sense of pride."
"Yes, you are hard. You are so hard that your crotch bursts. Looking at you like this, you are like a single dog in heat. Just any thing will stimulate you to the point of not wanting to stop."
"What's wrong with being single? At least I can be tough. I'm proud of you. I guess you can't be tough anymore. It's really pitiful. It's a pity that our country doesn't accept eunuchs. Otherwise, you can still eat like an official!"
"These past few days, I've been scared to watch the Internet. I've been hacking whatever I catch. Fortunately, I rarely take pictures of the heroic deeds of people like **, Qiu Shaoyun, and Huang Jiguang. Otherwise, I would have been scolded by these people.
"
"As Li Qian said, many people today regard the sacrifices and dedication of their predecessors as an act of throwing away money. In "Wolf Warrior", there are still people who are criticizing Leng Feng and sending him to death."
"For this kind of person, I just hope that no one will help him when he is beaten, that no one will do anything when someone steals something, that there is no blood to give him a blood transfusion when he is seriously injured, that there is a fire at home and that the firefighters are stuck in traffic on the road."
"Originally, I thought "Wolf Warrior" was above the passing line with a score of six or seven, but after looking at the arguments of these trolls, I now give it a score of nine."
"It's just those sunspots that make people so angry. It's only about a seven-point score, but there are still many shortcomings. I hope Li Qian's new film "Rejuvenate" can shoot the war scenes better."
"Yes, "Rejuvenation" involves the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea. Previous news said that they filmed in Northeast China for a month, so there should be a lot of scenes."
"Resisting the United States and aiding Korea... To be honest, I'm a little worried. After all, we are attacking the Americans. If Li Qian shoots the volunteers better, I guess some of the sons of the Americans will come out to complain about their fathers."
"Be bold, not a few, but a large group."
"Since it is a movie that spans decades, and it is about fighting against the Japanese and aiding Korea, I wonder if there will be a Yue War, and there won't be a Yue Nan monkey son running away, right?"
"It's hard to say. There seem to be some good people now. Last time we discussed the property disclosure system of Yue Nan officials on the post forum, some people boasted that Yue Nan is good here and there is better. And they even had the nerve to boast that Yue Nan's total import and export volume exceeded Inner Mongolia.
, the total import and export volume of several provinces such as Ningxia, Qinghai and Xinjiang."
"Haha, I am laughing so hard. A country on the sea has a higher import and export volume than an inland province."
"I can understand both Meifen and Jingri. After all, they are powerful themselves, but for Jingyue people, to be honest, this is really not a joke?"
"I'm afraid that "Rejuvenation" filmed the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and Aid Korea, and when the time comes, people from Centenary and Jingyue will definitely come out to fight for their father."
...
In this way, with controversy, criticism, and applause, "Wolf Warrior" continues to lead the second half of the summer season.
However, Li Qian still shared a little bit of the burden for "Wolf Warrior", and some viewers turned their attention to "Rejuvenation", and then made various speculations about how the scenes of the war to resist the United States and aid Korea would be filmed.
Some people speculated that the film would be about the Volunteer Army violently attacking the American Army and the Allied Army. This caused some controversy among the "Real Party". Various people said that the Volunteer Army could not defeat the American Army at that time. From equipment and logistics to the backwardness in all aspects, it could only be filmed.
His fighting power soared as he squealed with blood.
Then, the quarrel started again.
However, it did not affect the popularity of "Wolf Warrior". After all, there were basically no rivals in the same period, and the topic itself was enough.
In the second week, "Wolf Warrior" continued to make great progress, earning 371 million in a single week, and the total box office in the ten days after its release reached 583 million.
Several new films this week are not very competitive. "Dong Meng Gong 2" by Chinese action star Tony Jaa was released in China and only took over 7 million at the box office in three days.
There is also an animated film "Qin Shi Mingyue", which received RMB 30 million in three days, which is quite good. After all, the domestic animation market is still dominated by young people and children, and this has always been the public's recognition of animation.
Know.
"Anti-Corruption Storm" starring Louis Koo received 35 million in three days, and there is hope of breaking 100 million.
A Hong Kong police and gangster film with no highlights, that is, Coo Tim Lok has released several good police and gangster films in recent years, which is why it has this box office. Otherwise, more than 30 million in three days is too much.
Forget it has no highlights. What’s really annoying is that we didn’t catch the villain BOSS until the end of the movie.
It is like telling everyone outright that a sequel will be made. I can predict what will happen next year and buy tickets to find out.
The next part is expected to do well at the box office. Li Qian remembers that this series has already been filmed for five parts. It is impossible to make five parts in a row if it does not make money.
Other than that, there were basically no opponents until the third week, when "The Finale" was released.
This series, which has always been complained about, is also quite strong. The third part sold 100 million in three days, which is expected to be better than the previous one at the box office.
As for the content, it's about the same as the previous two. The story continues to be boring, the logic continues to be dysfunctional, the clues continue to be scattered, the characters continue to be hollow, the emotions continue to be far-fetched, the fighting continues to be mediocre, and the special effects continue to be rough.
However, this box office also broke a record, which was the first-week box office record of director Xiangjiang's major works in the Mainland market as advertised in Guangxian's press release.
It's the kind of record that makes people laugh just by looking at it.
I am also the richest man in Lijia Village, the flying man in Wangjia Village, and the best martial arts master in Zhaojiazhuang.
The 100 million box office in the first three days of "Famous" did not have much impact on "Wolf Warrior". In the third week, "Wolf Warrior" continued to sell 190 million, and the total box office reached 773 million.
In the fourth week, due to the release of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes", which itself was not very attractive to female audiences, the decline exceeded 50%, falling below 100 million in a single week, with only 91 million, and the total box office was 864 million.
"Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is already its second film. The previous film had a good reputation at the box office, and the novel theme and type are very eye-catching, so the second film ushered in a box office explosion.
290 million in three days, another hugely popular imported blockbuster.
It is about ten years later, the simian virus has wiped out 90% of the population, the survivors are struggling to survive in the city, and the ape tribe is growing stronger in the redwood forest.
The originally powerful humans have become weak, while the apes have become stronger. There is bound to be a war.
Just look at the title of the film and you will know that the protagonist of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" is an orangutan.
However, Li Qian doesn't like this kind of movie that much. What he cares about is the special effects in the movie. I have to say that the facial expression capture is very good.
...
The release of "War for the Planet of the Apes" interrupted "Wolf Warrior"'s consecutive daily box office top spot.
However, this box office is already the fourth highest in Chinese film history, second only to "The Truman Show", "I'm Not a Medicine God", "Thailand", and "Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons", which are four billion-dollar box office movies.
In the past, there was a strange circle in the mainland film industry. The gap between 800 million and 1 billion was finally filled by a movie for the first time.
During four weeks and more than 20 days of screening, "Wolf Warrior" has also experienced a lot of ups and downs.
The school season is about to start, and it seems that it is impossible to earn one billion, so Li Qian held a celebration banquet for Wu Jing in advance.
But at the celebration banquet, Wu Jing seemed a little unhappy.
Li Qian raised his glass and clinked it with him, and asked with a smile, "Brother Jing, the domestic movie box office is ranked fifth, what else are you unhappy about?"
"nothing."
Wu Jing raised his head and drank all the wine in the glass, sighing, "Up to now, on some film review websites, there are still some people who don't know whether they are the audience, saying that "Wolf Warrior" is to deceive people into becoming patriotic.
It seems that in the eyes of these people, patriotism is a silly thing, and movies that appeal to people to be patriotic are just silly movies."
"It's not worth it to still be angry about these people." Li Qian smiled, "Look, we are here to celebrate with champagne, and they can only sulk in front of the computer and type on the keyboard."
Wu Jingdao said, "It's not that I can't accept negative comments. You can say that my photography is poor, but I can't stand such comments. I've been thinking about it for almost a month and I still can't figure it out. Why is it wrong to be patriotic?"
He shook his hand violently and said bitterly, "You know, I saw on a website a few days ago that someone said I was a patriotic thief!"
"Patriot thief?"
Li Qian was shocked. Even though he prided himself on being well-informed and keeping up with the times, this was the first time he heard such words.
It turns out that in this era, the word "thief" can still be used in this way. Good guy, it can't be justified without writing a famous book.
"It's really a great experience." Li Qian sneered, "I didn't expect it to be so extreme. It would be a pity if Xinhua Dictionary didn't invite them to revise it."
"But Brother Jing, it's obvious how angry and scared those people are about "Wolf Warrior," China's first big-selling modern military commercial film. If it had failed at the box office, they probably wouldn't scold you.
It is the patriotism and sense of honor and pride promoted by the movie that makes some people with bad intentions and people with ulterior motives panic. They are afraid of seeing the audience being affected. It is precisely because they are afraid that they
I will scold you."
"You mean..." Wu Jing asked.
"Yes, if everyone is full of pride and confidence in the country and no longer worships foreigners, then the sense of superiority that some people have felt by belittling our country for a long time will no longer exist, and they will be hit from the spiritual level.
There is no way to be complacent in reality or online, and to satisfy oneself by belittling the country and its people.
Because at that time, others would only treat him as a coin thrower. The harder you scold him now, it means the harder you hit this kind of person and this phenomenon. The more afraid they are, the harder they will scold you. It has nothing to do with your filmmaking.
Is it good or not?”
Li Qian had a drink with Wu Jing again, "There is a shortage of movies and tough guys like this in China right now. Brother Jing, you can do this. Don't worry about them scolding you, let alone get angry."
Seeing them like this, you should be happy, because it is hopeless anyway, and then continue to make movies like this to make them extremely corrupt and severely attack these people and the ideas and arguments they have spread for a long time."
"I understand!"
Wu Jing drank the wine under the quilt in one gulp and said, "The cultural and ideological level is also a war, so I will fight this battle well and ideologically destroy the voice that has always existed.
Unfortunately, because this time "Wolf Warrior" involves troops and group operations, many modern strategic and tactical military areas are not allowed to be filmed. They are said to be confidential, and it is still in China, and there are a lot of restrictions.
For the next film, I want to set it overseas, and film the main character acting alone. There are not so many restrictions. If he gets anxious, I will do it by myself!"
"If one person becomes a master, this would be a bit too much if he is not a mutant. It cannot be regarded as a fantasy movie. At the very least, the audience must recognize that this is a real possibility." Li Qian shook his head with a smile.
"I'm just saying, I can't film one person working as one teacher. It wouldn't be a drama, and I would be scolded to death." Wu Jing smiled naively.
