Volume 2: Storm Rising 2015 Chapter 125: Riding the Clouds
When the lights in the cinema come on, it means that a movie has come to an end.
For Zhou Dongsheng, who has already seen "Wolf Warrior 2", "Wolf Warrior" is naturally a bit rough in comparison.
But in 2015, it was already a mature work that Wu Jing could show off as a director, and it is also competitive enough in the current film market.
When Hollywood still dominates the current film market, the market is flooded with American superhero movies, which continuously export American-centered heroism and the cultural concept that only Americans can save the world.
When the market takes Hollywood as a benchmark, whoever can be the first to break market conventions will naturally make a fortune.
"Wolf Warrior" has learned from the Hollywood superhero model, breaking the conventions by bringing forth something new and innovative. Instead of ending up with a dog instead of a tiger, it gives the audience a refreshing and exciting feeling.
Wu Jing successfully created a flower-growing superhero, which made the audience realize the strength of the motherland and also made them begin to realize that heroes are not just the exclusive domain of Americans.
As a cultural form that is loved by audiences all over the world, movies have always been the private domain of public opinion controlled by the Americans and Hollywood, and no one can surpass them.
"Wolf Warrior" has undoubtedly fired the first shot in regaining the high ground of public opinion in our film market. After all, if you don't fight for the high ground of public opinion, you will hand it over to the enemy.
The bitter consequences of giving up the high ground of public opinion have quietly affected several generations...
The success of the movie "Wolf Warrior" also allowed Wu Jing to grasp the pulse of the market, which led to a more mature and radical sequel, in which he implemented the principle of "learning from the barbarians in order to defeat them" to the end.
And with the help of the right time, place and people, it created a shocking box office miracle.
Culture and art may be borderless, but people do, and cultural disputes are part of the game between major powers.
Zhou Dongsheng just sighed slightly. Even though he is now a billionaire, he is still just a small fry in a competition of this level.
But he had to board Wolf Warrior 2, a ship that had everything going for it. The obvious benefits were tempting enough, and there might even be some hidden benefits...
Thinking of this, Zhou Dongsheng suddenly realized that this was his future direction and he would not go wrong if he just followed the direction of the wind.
After his thought came to him, Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but smile knowingly and casually edited a text message and sent it to Wu Jing.
"I just finished watching a movie and I'm writing a review. Brother Jing wants to treat me to a meal."
After sending the message, Zhou Dongsheng put away his phone. Lin Jiajia in his arms had fallen asleep at some point, and her crystal clear sleeping face was adorable.
Although this is not the first time, Zhou Dongsheng still enjoys it.
Lin Kaixin on the side showed a trace of apology and reached out to hug the baby. Zhou Dongsheng shook his head slightly and stood up holding the cute baby.
In addition to Su Qian and Lin Kaixin, there were also Liu and his wife, Xu Kaidao and others. Zhou Dongsheng pointed at Lin Jiajia in his arms and said softly.
"Wan Zi has fallen asleep. I'll send Kai Xin and the others back first."
Liu chuckled and showed an expression that said, "Okay, boss, you guys go first. We still need to go shopping. It's a rare day off."
Zhou Dongsheng nodded, and seeing that it was still early, he said to Xu Kaidao, "It's a rare opportunity for a team building, so you organize the employees to continue playing in the second half, and the company will reimburse you."
Xu Kaidao understood. At this time, Su Qian on the side smiled playfully and suddenly said, "Boss, I'll stay too. It's a rare day off and I want to relax."
After saying that, Su Qian looked at Lin Kaixin and blinked.
Zhou Dongsheng didn't think much about it and said, "Let's go first." After that, he carried the child and walked out first, with Lin Kaixin following closely beside him.
After the movie was over and the boss left, the employees felt much more at ease. Xu Kaidao acted as the boss's messenger and relayed Zhou Dongsheng's words.
"Woohoo! Long live the boss!"
"The boss is so nice. We can watch a movie during team building and there's even a second half. It's so cool!"
"Go, go, go, keep playing music and dancing!"
In addition, female employees also started whispering to each other.
"The boss is so handsome, young, rich, and likes children. He is exactly the template of my ideal man."
"You're being naughty again, do you want to give birth to a child for your boss?"
"I think it's a pity that such a good man can't belong to just one person..."
"If I were as good as my boss, I would also be unfaithful and switch to other handsome guys one after another..."
To be honest, the sweet words girls say in private are no less than those said by men. After all, desire has no gender and it is human nature.
Zhou Dongsheng brought Lin Kaixin to the parking lot. After finding his G-Class and getting in, Lin Kaixin said, "Boss, can you give me the meatballs now? You can't drive with a child in your arms."
Zhou Dongsheng then handed the meatball to Lin Kaixin reluctantly. Zhou Dongsheng couldn't let go of this soft and cute baby.
Lin Kaixin couldn't help laughing and chuckled, "I can see him every day. It's not like I won't be able to hug him in the future."
Zhou Dongsheng smiled casually and said with emotion: "But Maru will grow up. If you don't hold him more now, you won't be able to hold him in the future."
Lin Kaixin was a little surprised. She turned to look at Zhou Dongsheng. His profile was young and handsome, but his words revealed a sense of vicissitudes that was not in line with his age.
"I didn't expect the boss to have such an insight at such a young age."
The passage of time is most obvious in children, and the changes they make every year are visible to the naked eye.
However, for adults, the changes from year to year are no longer visible, only the accumulated fatigue and frustration.
Others may be old in body but not in heart, but Zhou Dongsheng is old at heart even though he is not.
"I just look young, but in some places I'm not young anymore." Zhou Dongsheng sighed from the bottom of his heart.
When Lin Kaixin heard this, a sunset glow leaped into the clouds and she gave Zhou Dongsheng a charming look.
She said coquettishly, "Boss~"
Zhou Dongsheng then realized the ambiguity in his words, but he remained calm and said, "I meant that my mental age is not young anymore."
However, the atmosphere in the car suddenly became a little charming, and Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but think of the last time...
"Gudong..." Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva, which was particularly obvious in the quiet car.
Compared with his last hesitation, Zhou Dongsheng is undoubtedly more willing to face his own heart after this experience.
Lin Kaixin, who is as mature as a peach, is undoubtedly more in line with Zhou Dongsheng's "psychological age"...
Lin Kaixin secretly glanced at Zhou Dongsheng, her face becoming increasingly red and a little hot.
She couldn't help but think of her boldness last time and Su Qian's hint with a wink. A thousand thoughts flooded her mind at once, making Lin Kaixin feel confused.
At this time, Zhou Dongsheng's car had already arrived downstairs of Lin Kaixin's building, and the charming atmosphere in the car had reached its peak.
"Mangzi has fallen asleep. Can I go up and sit with him?"
Just when Lin Kaixin was still daydreaming, she suddenly heard Zhou Dongsheng's words and was shocked.
When he turned around, he met Zhou Dongsheng's scorching eyes. His body softened and he let out a sound as thin as a mosquito's.
"Hmm~"
