Volume 3: Taking Roots 2016 Chapter 632: A Big Tree Attracts the Wind
“Crack!”
Following the assistant director's order, Zhou Dongsheng and Wu Jing, who were all covered in dust, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. After nearly a month of filming, they finally finished the most climax-filled part of the movie.
The scene being filmed at this moment is the final scene when everything has settled down, with everyone sitting on a truck crossing the war zone. It can also be said to be the most essential and exciting scene in the entire movie.
Of course, this is also the most stimulating scene for some Wolf Warrior PTSD patients. How excited ordinary people are to see this scene on the big screen, how disgusted these patients are...
However, when he personally participated in it and watched Director Wu act as a flagpole and hold up the national flag, Zhou Dongsheng truly felt a different kind of warmth flowing in his heart...
It's hard to explain, but a sense of pride overflowed from the bottom of his heart. At the same time, from this moment on, Zhou Dongsheng also understood more clearly why Director Wu had completely become the spokesperson for the main theme after this movie...
Because it was probably from this moment that the main theme began to officially sound the clarion call for counterattack, using the method of learning from the barbarians to defeat them, and counterattacking those contents that had been subtly exporting culture.
After all, under this subtle influence, the general public has long accepted the idea that only lighthouses can save the world and only foreign faces can be heroes.
But starting from this movie, the general public suddenly realized that we can do it too?!
In fact, the road to revival from the ruins is supported by such amazing deeds.
And, of course, there are the magnificent figures who accomplish these breathtaking feats.
A sentence that Zhou Dongsheng had seen from somewhere suddenly flashed through his mind: "When the sun rises, the world no longer needs that damn lighthouse."
It's crazy, but this kind of crazy makes people yearn for it. Although this road is still long and arduous, there is no doubt that there are always people who are unswervingly walking on this road. We are not alone...
And when Director Wu chose to stand on the front of the car and hold up the national flag, it seemed that he was destined to become the spokesperson on the big screen.
The scene evoked his emotions, and he suddenly felt full of lofty ambitions. Zhou Dongsheng suddenly thought of a poem by Emperor Taizu, "All the past is gone, and the heroes of the present are still to be seen!"
Zhou Dongsheng couldn't help but feel a sense of enlightenment in his heart, and he became more and more determined about the vague idea in his heart. If he had to give himself a sense of mission in his rebirth...
This is probably it. If I handle it properly, maybe I can emulate the martyrs and do a feat that will be remembered forever...
Thinking of this, my ambition suddenly calmed down. If I really want to achieve this, I still have a long way to go.
However, if he set such a goal for himself, Zhou Dongsheng's inner confusion was immediately swept away, and instead he was filled with motivation...
"Hey, you've worked hard during this period! Congratulations on wrapping up the filming!" Director Wu stepped forward and patted Zhou Dongsheng on the shoulder with great satisfaction, his eyes filled with admiration.
Director Wu also didn't expect that a young man like Zhou Dongsheng, who was worth a lot of money and had achieved success at a young age, could actually stick with the crew and complete all his scenes conscientiously...
Although he invited Zhou Dongsheng to make a cameo appearance, out of his sense of responsibility as a director, Director Wu actually prepared a backup plan...
Ahem, I just didn’t expect that this alternative plan would not come in handy. It really made Director Wu look at it differently.
As soon as Director Wu finished speaking, everyone in the crew applauded. A staff member immediately came up with the flowers that had been prepared for a long time and handed them to Zhou Dongsheng with a smile on his face.
At the same time, Wu Gang, Ni Ni and other leading actors were also standing by . Ni Ni smiled and joked: "How is it, how do you feel about your first wrap-up trip in your life? Can you give some comments?"
Wu Gang was just like the character in the play, holding a classic enamel cup, drinking water while watching the fun, and the aura of a veteran cadre was overwhelming.
"Ahem, let me just say a few words. These two sentences can be divided into six small points..." Zhou Dongsheng cleared his throat and acted like a leader.
Not to mention, Zhou Dongsheng, who acted like an investor, still had some momentum, but it disappeared in a moment.
Zhou Dongsheng changed the subject and said with a grin, "I was just joking with you all. Thank you for your care during this period. It was a rare experience for me. As I said at the beginning..."
"If you want to get something you've never gotten, then you have to do something you've never done before. After this period of time, I have indeed gained..."
Zhou Dongsheng said with deep emotion. As for what he gained, only Zhou Dongsheng knew it, and he did not say anything else.
"I didn't realize you were so good at sentimentalizing. Okay, let's take a photo together for a record. Congratulations on your successful completion!" Director Wu put his arm around Zhou Dongsheng's shoulders and scolded with a smile.
"Okay, everyone come take a group photo to bid farewell to President Zhou!"
"I'll treat everyone to a good meal tonight, and you won't leave until you're drunk!" Zhou Dongsheng added with a smile. Although he doesn't drink, it doesn't stop him from rewarding others.
"Great! Long live President Zhou!" The entire crew burst into cheers. Even though Director Wu was popular, he did not object and just regarded it as a farewell to Zhou Dongsheng.
After all, the crew still has a long way to go before completing the filming, not to mention that there are still scenes in Africa that need to be re-shot, so the workload is very tight.
But if you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. It is also a good thing to let everyone relax.
The crew was crowded together, surrounding the few leading actors standing in the middle. Perhaps it was the news that Zhou Dongsheng was treating them, which made everyone's faces filled with extremely enthusiastic smiles.
As the shutter was pressed, a group photo of the crew celebrating Zhou Dongsheng's successful completion was freshly released.
After taking the group photo, the crew, led by Director Wu, headed to the hotel where they were staying and held a wrap-up banquet to see Zhou Dongsheng off.
However, the filming of a movie, in addition to the crew members, naturally requires off-site operations staff. The crew is responsible for production, and the distributor is also responsible for operations and promotion.
This model has become an extremely mature system after years of trials and tribulations in the film industry . The "Wolf Warrior" series of films also has its own dedicated Weibo account for promotion, as well as relevant information about the crew's filming.
Therefore, this group photo naturally appeared on the official Weibo of "Wolf Warrior", with the message "Congratulations to the most handsome Zhou Dongsheng in the comedy group for officially wrapping up today..."
The staff in charge of the operation did not think much about it and released it purely for the purpose of recording their work. When this photo was posted on the official Weibo, it did not cause any waves and was like a stone sinking into the sea.
After all, the official Weibo account has only a little over 100,000 fans, and most viewers won’t pay much attention to a movie’s official Weibo account. If nothing unexpected happens, this matter will most likely pass quietly.
Perhaps there will be no further news until the movie is officially released.
However, that evening, after everyone had eaten and drunk their fill and went back to their rooms to rest, Director Wu, without giving it much thought, picked up his personal Weibo and forwarded this message.
"Zhou Dongsheng has officially finished filming! I didn't expect that he could really stick with it. There are so few young people who are not squeamish and serious like him!"
At the same time, he gave himself a high evaluation sincerely, and with Director Wu taking the lead in speaking out, it seemed to have triggered a chain reaction.
Ni Ni also forwarded the message, "Congratulations to new actor Zhou Dongsheng for finishing filming. It was a pleasure working with him during this period (naughty). Please wait and see..."
Director Wu’s own fan base may be limited, but with the support of top star Ni Ni, this Weibo post has received further exposure, and a large amount of traffic has begun to pour in.
"Huh? It's already finished in the blink of an eye? I'm really looking forward to it."
"To be honest, with this appearance, he should be more than qualified to be a popular star in the entertainment industry!"
"My goodness, this is such a huge crossover, if you don't act well, you can only go back to being a billionaire?"
"Ahhh, my husband is so handsome! I declare this to be my new husband. I'm sorry, Principal Wang, I can't go back."
There are many comments like this, but similarly, for fan groups like Ni Ni and Director Wu, they tend to pay attention to information related to the entertainment industry.
Even on the Internet, which is well-connected, most users tend to focus on areas and content that interest them, thus forming an information cocoon, which makes it easy for users to fall into information isolation.
Furthermore, some content is given the name of "breaking the circle" because it can be spread across circles, breaking through the so-called information cocoon effect and reaching the point where everyone knows it.
Zhou Dongsheng obviously has not reached this level, so many people still have their questions.
"Huh? Who is this? He can actually work with Ni Ni and Wu Jing to make a movie. This resource is too good..."
"His debut is his peak, this starting point is too high! I look forward to this movie."
"Sister Ni Ni is so cool! I will definitely go to support the movie when it is released!"
"Isn't this the one that was rumored to be dating before? It turns out they are collaborating on a movie!"
“The misunderstanding has been resolved, and I look forward to the work!”
…
There are quite a few comments like this. As one of the four young actresses, Ni Ni naturally has her own stable fan base, who only pay attention to news related to the main character.
Therefore, the rumors that were reported a while ago were naturally identified as hype to pave the way for film collaboration, which is also a common trick in the entertainment industry.
Fans are no longer surprised by this.
With the support of the fan base, the popularity of this post on Weibo, which was originally not destined to be too high, continued to rise, with the number of views and comments soaring.
If it just came here, perhaps it wouldn't cause too much of a stir.
However, as Zhou Dongsheng's most loyal lackey, Xu Kaidao, the helmsman of Xiaorenmin Media, was slow to realize the Weibo post.
After spending a lot of time with Zhou Dongsheng, Xu Kaidao felt that he had gotten to know Zhou Dongsheng's temper. He saw that Zhou Dongsheng had started to "not do his job properly", shooting short videos and movies...
Obviously, he intends to make himself a celebrity on stage. Most of the time, he is inspired by Principal Wang...
Therefore, as the boss's right-hand man, if he had to wait until the boss gave orders personally, it would obviously be his dereliction of duty, so Xu Kaidao gave the order decisively.
By mobilizing the resources of Xiaorenwu Media and the Weibo accounts of a number of anchors, the reach of this Weibo account was further expanded, injecting a large wave of vitality into its traffic pool.
If Director Wu and Ni Ni's traffic direction is the entertainment industry, then there is no doubt that Little People Media's traffic direction is the live broadcast industry.
Since Xiaorenwu Media took the lead in team-building, Yinian Media, which is from the same family, naturally also received the news. As someone who came from the entertainment industry, Xu Ruoan naturally could not be unaware of this.
Whether it is hype or hype, Xu Ruoan is good at it. She never thought that she would have the opportunity to return to her hometown of the entertainment industry...
Xu Ruoan had no time to sigh, speed was of the essence, and he mobilized the resources at hand to catch up. Not only was there accumulation in the entertainment industry, but also Yinian Media's resources of internet celebrities represented by [Papi Jiang].
"Papi Jiang: The boss is the boss. The happiness of rich people is so plain and boring..."
Papi Jiang, who is now very popular in the Weibo world, has millions of fans, and her popularity is no less than that of ordinary first-line stars.
At the same time, Weibo recently announced the news of holding the Super Red Star Festival. As the representative of the annual Internet celebrity, Papi Jiang was naturally among the invited guests.
And with Papi Jiang's popularity, winning a major award is a sure thing.
So with the help of [Papi Jiang], the traffic of the Internet celebrity channel has almost been opened up. If [Papi Jiang] alone is not enough...
As a high-intensity online surfer, Principal Wang, who loves to watch the fun, naturally couldn't miss this good show, especially since he had just taken advantage of Zhou Dongsheng a while ago...
Adhering to the idea of returning a favor, Principal Wang naturally would not be stingy with his forwarding since he had seen it.
"We just wrapped up, and the movie I'm making a cameo in is about to be released!"
What was originally just an ordinary Weibo post recording the completion of a role, suddenly became a hot search on Weibo with the help of various parties, and jumped into the top five of Weibo, which shocked many people.
Although this is not the first time that the three words "Zhou Dongsheng" have appeared on Weibo's hot searches, every time they appear, they are at an angle that netizens cannot expect, which really catches people off guard.
However, in the past, no matter how Zhou Dongsheng appeared and disappeared on the hot search list, he did not arouse the disgust of any group, and no one could not stand it.
But this time it was a little different. Some people were not happy with Zhou Dongsheng's cross-border cameo role in the movie, and they took the lead in attacking him using Weibo as a battlefield.
"Some movies nowadays are really unscrupulous in their marketing efforts. They can bring in any clown to play a cameo role to add popularity to the movie. Can such a movie be considered a good movie?"
"If our Chinese film industry only uses these sensational and unorthodox methods to fool and please the audience, I don't believe what the future of Chinese films will be like."
"If such a movie is successful, it will undoubtedly be the biggest shame for Chinese cinema!"
Such a harsh accusation, although no names were mentioned, still easily ignited public opinion on Weibo and caused an uproar in public opinion.
