Two hours later.
Yue Guan and Wu Jing entered the Zhang family.
Wu Jing wiped the cold sweat from his head.
"This is the first time I have been subject to such a solemn security check. Yue Guan, why do you look like you are fine?"
"Because it's not my first time here."
Yue Guan is relatively calm.
Although he was not at peace inside either.
Mainly because of guilt.
Fortunately, after meeting Zhang Zhao again, Zhang Zhao was as kind as ever.
Yue Guan and Zhang Yin called before coming. Zhang Zhao and Zhang Yin were waiting at home.
Yue Guan didn't get any particularly expensive gifts.
It’s even more unclear if you actually take it.
"Yue Guan, long time no see. You are as energetic as ever." Zhang Zhao smiled and greeted Yue Guan.
"Uncle Zhang is as young as ever. I was in Taizhou during the Chinese New Year and didn't come to visit you in time. Don't worry."
Zhang Zhao waved his hand: "I'm very happy that you can come. This is Xiao Wu."
"Yes, I am Wu Jing, nice to meet you."
"You're welcome, Yue Guan said you are a very thoughtful person, and I believe in his vision. Come, sit down, Yin Yin, you go and pour the tea."
Yue Guan and Wu Jing sat opposite Zhang Zhao, and Zhang Yin began to make tea for them.
Zhang Zhao took the initiative to talk about Yue Guan, and Yue Guan was a little surprised by the content: "Yue Guan, do you think I pushed you from behind?"
"Is not it?"
"No, I haven't helped you since you stopped contacting Yinyin." Zhang Zhao said calmly.
Yue Guan was a little embarrassed.
Wu Jing was a little confused.
I'm sorry you still have this relationship.
You didn't tell me before coming here.
"It should be the reason why you are on the protection list above. In addition, the suggestions you made are not for your own personal gain, so it is normal for the above to help you. I have asked about your reputation in the above circles. Very good, your stance has always been upright, and the scenes you film are good. Those people who want to cause trouble for you are looking for the wrong person."
Zhang Zhao did not take the credit for himself. At his level, there was no need to rely on other means to win over people's hearts.
If you have it, you have it, if you don't have it, you don't have it.
He didn't even bother to use that method.
Yue Guan had some understanding: "Is the protection list so powerful?"
"The main thing is to be tough on yourself. You are really tough yourself. If you strive for your own success, you will naturally get more support." Zhang Zhao suggested.
"Thank you Uncle Zhang, I understand."
Zhang Zhao nodded briefly, then looked at Wu Jing: "Xiao Wu, Yue Guan told me that you wrote a script?"
"Yes, that's it."
Wu Jing handed the script of "Wolf Warrior" to Zhang Zhao.
"There are still many immature places, you can take a look first."
Zhang Zhao was not polite and just opened it and read it. As he read, he said: "Cultural export is a long-term task and will not be rushed. I am now responsible for a part of it, so I also supplemented my knowledge in this area. Of course. , I still can’t compare with you professionals. If I say something wrong, please remember to point it out in time.”
Wu Jing didn't answer.
Yue Guan said: "Just don't rush it. Uncle Zhang, I had an idea before. Yin Yin should have told you about it, but it will take some time for the script to be finalized."
"There's no rush. You take your time and put quality first. Don't talk yet. I'll briefly read the script and then we'll discuss it."
At this time, Zhang Yin winked at Yue Guan. Although Yue Guan felt that it was a bit unethical to leave Wu Jing here alone, Zhang Yin's wink was too obvious, so Yue Guan quietly got up and went outside with Zhang Yin.
Wu Jing looked at Yue Guan like an animal.
Is this appropriate for you in front of his father
He thinks too much.
Yue Guan and the others went outside the door.
Zhang Yin had something to say to Yue Guan.
"Yue Guan, you don't want to push Wu Jing to my father's job, do you?"
Zhang Yin reminded: "Wu Jing's reputation is too small now. If you are suspected of doing errands, even if you recommend him to my father, you should at least go to Cheng Long."
Yue Guan: "... Brother Long is old, let him go. Believe me, Wu Jing is Brother Long's successor."
"real or fake?"
Zhang Yin turned her head and glanced at Wu Jing, but she couldn't see the temperament of the successor.
"you sure?"
"I am sure."
Not particularly sure either.
After all, the world is different.
But in front of Zhang Yin, it must be confirmed.
Zhang Yin was doubtful: "Are his scripts very good? Are you recommending them so much?"
"It's not bad, let's see what uncle thinks."
Anyway, there is nothing outstanding about domestic military films now.
In comparison, "Wolf Warrior" is pretty good.
If Zhang Zhao is really dissatisfied, Yue Guan can follow up on his own.
Zhang Yin knew Yue Guan well, and she didn't think Yue Guan would place his hopes on Wu Jing.
"You must have prepared another script, right? Wu Jing is not like you. You will definitely not give such a good opportunity to him."
"I didn't give it to him. My schedule was already full and I didn't have time to shoot it myself. Relatively speaking, Brother Jing is already the most suitable candidate. But I did prepare another script. After all, you have spoken. Yes, I must give uncle a big gift."
"Come on, I'm not forcing you. This is your own choice."
Even so, Zhang Yin was still very satisfied with Yue Guan's behavior.
"Just prepare it. I'm worried that you were angry at my dad's words just now, so you won't show it even if you prepare it."
Yue Guan chuckled: "No, uncle's behavior is normal. If it were me, I would definitely do something even more outrageous."
Yue Guan and Zhang Yin have stopped contacting each other. Zhang Zhao certainly has no reason to take care of Yue Guan anymore.
The earth does not revolve around Yueguan.
Therefore, when Yue Guan encountered Li Xun making trouble for him, he never thought of asking Zhang Zhao for help.
They don't owe him anything.
On the contrary, in a different place, if he were Zhang Zhao, he would not be able to accept this tone without giving a lesson to the guy who slept with his daughter.
Zhang Zhao just ignored him, which was normal behavior.
If this can still generate negative emotions, it would be really unworthy of a human being.
"As long as you can figure it out, go back. Don't leave Wu Jing there alone. I think he is very embarrassed. You must be afraid of embarrassing yourself, so you called him here."
Yue Guan coughed lightly.
This was seen through.
He didn't explain. Explanation was just a cover-up. He just returned to the room calmly.
Seeing him back, Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief.
He was really nervous when he was asked to face Zhang Zhao alone.
The script of "Wolf Warrior" is not very long, but it is not short either. Although Zhang Zhao only read it briefly, he read it for a long time.
After reading it, he closed the script and carefully digested the information he saw.
Then he started asking questions: "Are the foreign mercenaries in the script too strong? Our special forces are almost completely suppressed. Compared with them, the gap between children and adults is like that."
This is indeed a problem.
Wu Jing tried his best to explain: "The script setting shows that those mercenaries have seen blood and perform tasks all over the world. In comparison, they have stronger personal abilities and richer experience."
Zhang Zhao nodded and looked at Yue Guan: "Yue Guan, what do you think?"
"I don't think it's appropriate."
Of course not appropriate.
Whether a movie is realistic or not is never the most important thing.
Enjoyment is the most important thing.
A script that sets all foreign mercenaries as elites to defeat our army will not make the audience happy.
Even if the protagonist explodes later, watching a group of foreigners abusing our own soldiers still makes us suffocate.
In this regard, "Wolf Warrior 2" actually avoids these problems to the greatest extent possible.
But "Wolf Warrior" doesn't.
So the box office gap between the two sides is huge.
Wu Jing was later ridiculed for having Wushuang and highlighting personal heroism, but in Yue Guan's eyes, the problem with "Wolf Warrior" was that Wushuang was not enough.
There is no need to use the weakness of your comrades to highlight your own strength.
"For the audience, the focus of their attention is not logic, but the fact that our soldiers cannot defeat foreign mercenaries. Even if the cold front beat them away in the end, the reality is that they once wreaked havoc on our borders and still It was like being in a deserted place for a while, and many viewers would feel uncomfortable."
Yue Guan's words touched Zhang Zhao's heart.
After reading the script, he felt vaguely uncomfortable.
If it coincides with Yue Guan's judgment, it means there is nothing wrong with his feeling.
"Then what do you think should be done?" Zhang Zhao asked.
Wu Jing also looked at Yue Guan.
Yue Guan smiled: "Actually, it's very simple. Just set the background of the war abroad. If the enemy is fought outside the country, instead of happening in our country, the audience will naturally feel comfortable."
No matter how much we shout the slogan "Anyone who offends our country will be punished no matter how far away we are," it is not as satisfying as defending the enemy from outside the country's borders.
If you don't give the opponent a chance to offend you, if you go to another country to attack him, your innate pattern will be higher.
Zhang Zhao was very satisfied with Yue Guan's suggestion: "Yes, our country is not a place where terrorists are raging. There is no need to set the background in our country."
The story of "Wolf Warrior" is that during an operation to round up drug traffickers, Leng Feng disobeyed his superiors' orders and shot Wu Ji, a thug who injured his comrades. Later, he joined the Wolf Warriors. During an exercise, the Wolf Warriors were attacked by a group of terrorists armed with live ammunition. This group of people was sent by Bukit's brother Min Teng. Min Teng is an internationally wanted criminal. He has a large number of mercenaries with special skills. In order to avenge his brother, Min Deng sent mercenaries all the way to Leng Feng.
The front ones are fine.
As for the last setting, there is actually no need to arrange the battlefield in our country.
"Brother Jing, I actually suggest that it's better to change the core of the story."
"How to change it?" Wu Jingxu asked humbly.
He wasn't angry either.
Originally, Wu Jing was not very confident in the script of "Wolf Warrior". Yue Guan also told him before that the highlights of this script outweighed the shortcomings, but there were also shortcomings.
Wu Jing doesn't mind modifying the script as long as it can make it better.
And Yue Guan directly took out the core of the story of "Wolf Warrior 2".
In terms of story concept, "Wolf Warrior 2" is much higher than "Wolf Warrior".
So the plot is much better.
After listening to Yue Guan narrating the plot of "Wolf Warrior 2", Wu Jing and Zhang Zhao's eyes lit up.
Wu Jing said directly: "Wonderful, if the plot is arranged like this, Leng Feng's personal image will be more prominent, and it will also highlight the strength of our country."
Zhang Zhao strongly agrees with this view: "The story you just told Yue Guan is much better than this script. I will definitely support it when it is filmed. Xiao Wu, can you change the script as Yue Guan said?"
If Wu Jing couldn't do it, he would arrange for someone else to write out the story Yue Guan told.
Wu Jing was not stupid and agreed immediately: "Absolutely no problem. Give me a few days and I will write the new script right away."
This is equivalent to Yue Guan giving him a new script in vain.
Wu Jing knew full well that he had gotten a big deal.
Although being pulled by Yue Guan to block the gun was indeed a bit embarrassing before, but compared with such a big deal, it was nothing.
Wu Jingte hopes that there will be more such things like blocking guns.
Zhang Zhao was worried that Yue Guan had other ideas, so he took the initiative and asked: "Yue Guan, you came up with this story. Do you want to film it yourself?"
"No, just let Brother Jing do the filming. I have confidence in Brother Jing. I have almost all the dramas scheduled for this year, and I don't have much free time."
"Then Xiao Wu, please be more careful. By the way, Xiao Wu, how is your figure?"
Wu Jing didn't speak, and Yue Guan spoke for him: "There are only a handful of people in the entertainment industry who can have stronger abdominal muscles than Brother Jing."
Zhang Zhao was very satisfied: "That's good. Also, if you shoot this kind of movie, you may have to experience military life. Xiao Wu, can you accept it?"
"Yes." Wu Jing answered without hesitation.
Zhang Zhao was very satisfied with Wu Jing's attitude: "Very good. Nowadays, male stars in the entertainment industry are becoming more and more feminine in appearance. Although we allow diversified aesthetics and diverse viewpoints, we still advocate that men have more masculinity." , don’t let gender blur. We don’t discriminate against many things, but we don’t encourage them either.”
"clear."
Yue Guan and Wu Jing indeed understood.
Anyone who understands knows that if men in a country become more and more like women, it is definitely not a good thing for the country.
Of course, there are no mandatory standards for things like aesthetics and appearance.
But the above will certainly not encourage male celebrities to deliberately move closer to a feminine style.
This is definitely not a good trend.
Therefore, Wu Jing's performance won Zhang Zhao's praise.
"Xiao Wu, after you finish writing your new script, ask Yue Guan to help you read it first, and then show it to me. After the script is written, I will arrange for someone to send you to the army for special training for a period of time."
"good."
Wu Jing knew that this was his opportunity, and he would definitely not refuse it out of fear of hardship and fatigue.
Both Zhang Zhao and Wu Jing were very satisfied with this meeting.
Yue Guan blinked: "Uncle Zhang, actually I also prepared a script."
