No one will take what Cheng Yuan said at the premiere of "Wolf Warrior 2" seriously.

Also "create a very, very good result".

The filming cost of the second part was as high as 200 million. Not counting the promotion and distribution, it would have to take 600 million in box office to repay the cost. With the promotion and distribution, the pressure to repay the cost would be 1 billion.

The first part of "Wolf Warrior" only had a box office of just over 500 million.

Do you want to double the number in the second part?

"In my opinion, the second part will at best protect capital, and may even lose money." This is the consensus of the industry.

Spending 200 million to make a niche military action movie is indeed too risky.

As a result, Liu Yifei was specially thanked by Wu Jing, but it did not cause much splash after the premiere and before the release.

Liu Yifei really likes to watch this kind of crazy movies, but she asked people in her team, including screenwriters and producers she is familiar with, and the feedback she got was "not optimistic", "not sure", "take it"

Not allowed" and the like.

In fact, when Cheng Yuan persuaded Liu Yifei to invest in Wu Jing, someone in her team objected, but her husband still had the most say, so Liu Yifei chose to listen to her husband.

Cheng Yu'an actually understood Liu Yifei's concerns.

No military action film has been successful before. It costs so much to make a military action film. Wu Jing is still a new director, and any investor will be worried.

Cheng Yu'an said before going to bed: "When have you ever seen me fail in a movie?"

"Your first two literary films all failed at the box office." Liu Yifei stabbed her.

"This is not important, I am talking about commercial films."

"Your "The Martian" didn't make back its money in China." Liu Yifei stabbed her again.

The cost of "The Martian" is 300 million, and the domestic box office is over 600 million. The profit depends on overseas box office and various copyright income.

"You have to argue with me today, right?" Cheng Yu'an said angrily.

Liu Yifei said seriously: "Then tell me, how do you conclude that it will have good results?"

As a less professional and determined investor, Liu Yifei has been harassed by outside voices in recent days and has been shaken a bit.

"I can't tell you the specific reason. I'll make a bet with you. "Wolf Warrior 2" will cost at least 3 billion." Cheng Yu'an didn't over-report.

Liu Yifei invested money. Of course she hopes that "Wolf Warrior 2" will have a higher box office, but she is also a little worried about 3 billion.

"If there are 2 billion, I will die laughing." Liu Yifei said.

"Then why don't you dare to bet with me?"

"Just bet." The competitive Liu Yifei couldn't bear to be provoked and said, "What do you say if you lose?"

"If it's less than 3 billion, I'll replenish the profit for you." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

"What do I need your money for?" Liu Yifei did not agree to this condition.

"Then what do you say if you lose?" Cheng Yu'an asked.

"I'm going to lose, I..." Liu Yifei thought for a moment, and she didn't seem to have much chips to bet against Cheng Yu'an, "I'm going to lose, I won't bother you for a month."

"Is there such a good thing?!" Cheng Yu'an laughed, and then was pinched by Liu Yifei.

"You seem very happy."

"It's okay." Cheng Yu'an said, "That's it, let's go to sleep."

On a hot day, even if the air conditioner is on, I feel a little tired.

As soon as she lay down, Liu Yifei's hands became unreliable.

"The child is still here." Cheng Yu'an said subconsciously.

But then I thought about it, today my grandma tricked the child into sleeping with her using a toy.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't disturb me?"

"The bet hasn't started yet," Liu Yifei said, "I happen to be away today."

The next day, the sun is shining brightly!

Liu Yifei got up first and started a new day of training tasks.

Cheng Yuan didn't get up until after ten o'clock.

No matter how late or early it was, I didn’t even want to eat. I just ate some fruit and went out.

The few days he had free were filled with various activities.

He is going to attend the premiere of "The Founding of the Army" today, and will have 1-2 interviews every day. At the end of the month, he will organize the first script reading for the "Mulan" crew.

To be fair, points are locked, but the first two parts of "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" were pretty good, above average.

But this year's "The Founding of an Army" is almost uninteresting.

This film had been shown at a summer movie screening before, but Cheng Yu'an didn't say anything after watching it.

Again, Hong Kong directors can’t make historical dramas!

They don't have that kind of nerve in their heads!

They can always turn the confrontation between the two armies into a gang fight.

The battle for the throne can always be turned into an election of the society’s talkers.

"Seeing the Dragon Removes Armor", "Jin Yiwei" and "Guan Yunchang" are definitely not like this.

When this film was being planned, Cheng Yu'an persuaded Director Han to let it go. Why would he be involved in this film after he retired?

But Director Han disagreed and insisted on taking over the task and participating in the screenwriting and planning work.

He also wanted to bring Cheng Yu'an along, but was rejected. Cheng Yu'an made it clear at the time that the great cause of army building he wanted to do was not what the organization required.

Of course Liu Weiqiang is a good director, but again, don't touch historical themes, especially historical themes like "The Founding of the Army".

When Cheng Yu'an arrived, a lot of people had already gathered at the scene, including more than thirty creatives!

"Yu'an, it's not easy to meet you." Yu Dong came over to say hello.

Bona is one of the film production units.

"You know, I'm busy." Cheng Yu'an smiled.

"How are you preparing for "Mulan"?" Yu Dong asked.

"I have no problem here. I just wait for the actors to thoroughly understand the script and then we can start filming." Cheng Yu'an said with a smile.

"We must make the most beautiful version of "Mulan" so that foreigners can have a good experience."

Cheng Yu'an smiled and didn't answer: "Mr. Yu, I'm calling you over there. You go ahead and I'll see for myself."

In this situation, Cheng Yu'an is not treated coldly, they are all acquaintances.

"Brother Huo Hua, is this the first time you have played a great man?"

"This is the second time." Liu Huohua remembered, "It's not easy."

"How many people want to play Yang Yunjin but haven't had the opportunity yet?" Cheng Yu'an said, "Who will play Yang Yunjin?"

"Here it is." Liu Huohua called an actress over.

"Hello, Director Cheng."

"Hey," Cheng Yu'an thought the girl looked familiar, but couldn't remember her name, "Have you ever acted in "A Dream of Red Mansions"?"

"Yes," Liqin replied, "In the 10th edition, I will play Baochai."

In fact, Li Qin himself did not want to mention this play. Seven or eight years later, this play will still be brought out and whipped to death.

"I just said it looked familiar." Cheng Yu'an looked at it and said, "Did you also play Yang Yunjin in "The Founding of the Party"?"

Li Qin smiled and said, "Yes, this is the second time that Brother Huo Hua and I have played the role of a great couple."

Cheng Yu'an suddenly realized: "I remembered, you have played Tian Xiao'e, right?"

"I don't think you're old," Huang Zhizhong, who was standing by, came up and said, "Why do you have such a bad memory? This girl has even acted in your company's drama."

"Have you ever acted in my company's drama?"

"In "The Legend of Chu Qiao", she played Princess Yuan Chun."

A good part of Liqin's few beautiful pictures outside the circle are from Princess Yuanchun.
