Chapter 386 Wolf Warrior 2: Jedi Duo
Gu Wei never expected that such a pie would fall from the sky.
While you are sitting in the company, [Day and Night Chase], a hit drama with a high reputation and popularity in the future, will come to your door.
But if you think about it carefully, it is not impossible.
The entertainment industry is neither small nor big. If you count on your fingers, there are only a few large companies capable of investing in and producing TV dramas.
Some only produce their own high-quality dramas and do not invest in external dramas, like Noon Sunshine.
Some, like Huanrui, have limited themes and only shoot idol dramas or TV series starring big stars.
[Day and Night Chase] has an investment of nearly 70 million. At this time, only a few major video platforms have the courage to take it out in one go.
After all, this movie cannot be broadcast on TV, and can only obtain a filming license for a web drama. The Original Time and Space was exclusively invested and produced by Youku Video.
But now, because of Pan Yueming's relationship, director Wang Wei first came to find Gu Wei, and he will definitely not let this high-quality project slip away.
All I can say is that good people are rewarded. When they were working together on "Detective Chinatown" before, Gu Wei felt that Mr. Pan was a good person and had been helping him over the years without ever thinking about any reward.
He had a lot of things to do, so Gu Wei didn't pay much attention to TV series like "Day and Night Chase" which were famous but not suitable for him to act in. In the end, what belonged to him still went into his pocket.
Sitting in the office and thinking about it.
In [You Are My Glory], the boss and friend of the male protagonist "Yu Tu", the chief designer of the Aerospace Research Institute "Guan Zai" is also played by Pan Yueming. I have to send the script to him later.
This role does not have too many scenes and is very simple. When the crew starts filming in the second half of the year, Teacher Pan can come and shoot for a few days. It will not take up too much of his time.
As for other roles, Gu Wei doesn't have to worry too much. With director Lin Yufen in charge, she will naturally choose the most suitable role.
May 1st.
The crew of "Wolf Warrior 2" held a press conference for the start of filming in the banquet hall of Beijing Wangjing Hotel today.
Director Wu Jing has been preparing for this film for more than a year. He has flown to Africa several times and has selected all the shooting locations at home and abroad. He has done his utmost in the early stage work.
"Brother Jing, I feel like you've gotten tanned recently?"
Before the press conference started, Gu Wei and Wu Jing were chatting quietly on the side of the stage.
"I've been running around a lot every day, and I've been in Africa for quite a while, so it's normal to get a little tan."
Wu Jing's skin color was bronze at this time, and his teeth looked very white when he smiled.
"For this drama, I went to the gym after work, and now my muscles are toned.
How are you now? I told you to work out so you can show off your body when we shoot the scenes!"
He reached out and pinched the muscles on Wu Jing's arm. It was indeed stronger, but Gu Wei was least afraid of comparing physiques.
"Hey, Brother Jing, you don't need to tell me this. I look thin when I'm dressed, but I have muscles when I'm undressed. The muscles on my body are definitely beyond your imagination. You'll know when we start filming."
“Is this true?
If the effect is not good, I will delete the part where you show off your body, okay?"
Wu Jing looked Gu Wei up and down with a look of distrust on his face. Gu Wei looked thin in his clothes and his muscles did not seem to be very noticeable.
Gu Wei looked at him and smiled without explaining any further.
Zhang Tianai, who was standing next to them, listened to their conversation with an expression as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.
She really wanted to tell Wu Jing that Gu Wei had a really good body, with eight well-defined abdominal muscles and perfect chest muscles. She could testify to this.
After a while, the press conference began.
Wu Jingwen, the director and leading actor, took the center stage, but most of the media's attention was on Gu Wei.
"Director Wu, how did you come up with the idea of inviting Gu Wei to join the filming of the second part of Wolf Warriors?"
Wu Jing smiled and glanced at Gu Wei beside him.
"Gu Wei and I have known each other for a long time and are very good friends.
When I was filming Wolf Warrior 1, he was the biggest investor in my film.
When I was preparing for the second part, I was writing the script at home, but I was never satisfied with it no matter how I wrote it.
Later, when my wife was chatting with me, she said, why don’t you make the second part into a dual male lead structure, like in the Hollywood blockbuster "Fast and Furious", a bald gangster and a handsome policeman, the audience will definitely like it this way.
Then I suddenly had an epiphany and quickly completed the script.
Later, I saw that the other male lead in the script was completely designed for Gu Wei.
Maybe when I was writing the script, the image of Gu Wei appeared in my mind.
Then I took the script to invite him. He was quite hesitant at first, but I kept pestering him and finally won him over! "
After Wu Jing finished speaking, the staff and media in the venue burst into laughter.
"Then what made you, Gu Wei, accept Director Wu's invitation?"
"Brother Jing said it all, he was the one who kept pestering me, I couldn't stand it, so I had to agree."
Gu Wei pretended to be aggrieved and said.
There was laughter again.
The interview went on for a while. In addition to the two male protagonists, the female lead Zhang Tianai in this masculine drama also attracted the attention of reporters.
After the release of [The Richest Man in Xihong City], Zhang Tianai has been endorsed by several big brands. In the past two months, she has appeared very frequently in online press releases and offline and online advertisements, and has been very popular.
Now that she is working on a movie with Gu Wei and Wu Jing, everyone is paying close attention to her.
After a while, all the necessary parts of the press conference were completed, and Wu Jing gestured to the staff on the sidelines.
A huge poster fell from the sky on the backdrop directly behind the stage.
Above, Gu Wei and Wu Jing are wearing camouflage military uniforms, holding different types of guns in their hands, standing back to back with firm expressions on their faces.
Gu Wei's originally handsome face was painted with a few lines of paint, showing a wild charm.
Wu Jing clenched his fists and held a threaded bullet in his mouth.
The background of the two people is a battlefield full of bullets and gunfire, with tanks, helicopters, and artillery.
There are a few big words written right above it: [Wolf Warrior 2: Jedi Duo]!
As soon as the poster was released, the media's flash cameras kept flashing.
"I'll take the crew to Bincheng's Golden Beach to film the scene where 'Leng Feng' appears at the beginning of the movie. You can go directly to the scrap steel factory in Zhangjiakou in a few days.
Follow Group B and shoot over there first, I’ll be there soon.”
After the press conference, Wu Jing arranged a schedule for Gu Wei.
The story of [Wolf Warrior 2] takes place in Africa, but in fact most of the filming locations are still in China, and only a small part of the shots need to be shot in Africa.
Although Gu Wei's version of "Wolf Warrior 2" is very different from the original in details, the theme has not changed, and it still tells the story of the evacuation of overseas Chinese.
The plot continues from [Wolf Warrior 1]. Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, had to take off his military uniform and come to Africa alone to develop because of violating discipline.
Gu Wei plays "Lin Wei", a rich second-generation and a passionate military enthusiast.
He came to Africa to open a factory because he wanted to experience the feeling of real guns and real bullets.
In the first half of the movie, Wu Jing takes his godson "Xiao Hei" to visit his mother because the mother of the godson works in Gu Wei's factory.
He had a fateful meeting with Gu Wei. Wu Jing's cold temperament aroused Gu Wei's great interest. After several provocations, he was easily subdued by Wu Jing.
So Gu Wei began to pester Wu Jing and insisted on becoming his disciple, hoping that Wu Jing could teach him fighting, shooting and other military tactical skills.
Wu Jing was finally moved by Gu Wei's sincerity and began to teach him all the skills a real special forces soldier would have.
From then on, the two became the relationship of master and apprentice.
After a period of practice, Gu Wei's abilities improved rapidly and he was recognized by his master Wu Jing.
Wu Jing felt that he was a natural special forces soldier and promised him that after returning to China, he would recommend Gu Wei to his former leader for enlistment.
Gu Wei was very happy.
Then the plot enters the beginning of the original version. War breaks out in the area where Wu Jing works, and he protects some Chinese people who evacuate to the ships that come from the country.
At this time, we learned from the ambassador who fled with us that a domestic aid worker in Africa named "Dr. Chen" was still in the war-torn area and was a target of the rebels.
However, at that time, without the authorization of the United Nations, our army could not enter the territory of other countries to fight.
At the same time, Wu Jing thought of the many Chinese people in his apprentice Gu Wei's factory, including the mother of his godson "Xiao Hei", who were unable to evacuate.
So, with all his concerns, Wu Jing decided to go back into the war zone alone to rescue these people.
Two flowers bloomed at the same time. Because someone in his factory was sick, Gu Wei drove to a nearby hospital himself. However, when he arrived, he found that the hospital had been controlled by anti-government armed forces.
He lurked carefully and acted boldly, and after a series of gun battles, he successfully rescued everyone in the hospital, including Dr. Chen and his assistant "Rachel", the character played by Zhang Tianai.
Gu Wei brought the people from the hospital back to the factory.
At this time, the leader of the anti-government armed forces, "Dad", already knew that the "Dr. Chen" they were looking for was in a Chinese factory, so he sent a large force to surround the factory.
Gu Wei led the security guards and some workers in the factory, and after a hard battle, they relied on the terrain to repel a wave of enemy attacks, but many people on his side were injured.
Just when morale in the factory was low and everyone felt they could not hold on, Wu Jing appeared.
Everyone thought he came with reinforcements, but when they learned that Wu Jing was alone, they fell into disappointment again. Only Gu Wei had full faith in his master.
After Wu Jing arrived, he led everyone to use the equipment and materials in the factory to make liquefied gas cannons, bulletproof shields, steel guns and other weapons made by traditional methods.
Arm everyone.
Finally, "Dad" led his men and drove a tank to launch the final attack. After a desperate fight, Gu Wei and Wu Jing joined forces and finally killed each other and defeated the anti-government forces.
With Wu Jing holding the national flag high, the group successfully passed through the war-torn area and arrived at a safe place. The evacuation was successful.
