That night.
At home.
When Zhang Ye drove home, he saw his family looking at him speechlessly.
"Dad, Mom, you guys haven't left yet?" Zhang Ye smiled.
His father said angrily, "Why do you dare to say anything!"
His mother also said angrily, "Can you stop bragging? Huh? "
Zhang Ye chuckled and said, "I was just promoting my new movie."
His mother glared at him. "You're really something. Aren't you afraid that your wife will punish you?"
Zhang Ye laughed heartily, "Hahaha!"
"You're still laughing!" Mom said angrily.
On the other side, Wu Zeqing laughed. "Mom, it's fine. Can't you tell that he's just joking?"
However, Sisi was not having it. She had also watched the live broadcast with her grandparents. She went up and grabbed her father's sleeve. "Daddy, Mommy is beautiful! Mommy is beautiful! "
Zhang Ye hugged her dotingly, "Right, Mommy is the most beautiful in the world."
Only then was Sisi satisfied. "Mm."
Wu Zeqing also smiled and patted her daughter on the head.
Acting cool was an art.
Today, Zhang Ye had pushed it to its limits.
In Zhang Ye's previous world, there were four people unanimously voted by netizens as the Four Great Act Kings. These four people were:
Wang Jianlin had nothing.
Ma Huateng from an ordinary family.
Ma Yun regretted creating Alibaba the most.
Liu Qiangdong who doesn't know his wife is beautiful.
It was because these four people had made public statements that shocked the entire country. Every one of them had been laughed at by the people of his previous world. There were all sorts of screenshots, emojis, and all sorts of ridicule. But today, Zhang Ye had used all of those famous quotes at the press conference. As a result, overnight, Zhang Ye had unquestionably become the King of Posturing in this world. He had no competition at all!
…
In China.
Online.
The netizens were laughing their heads off!
"F * ck! This fellow is too reckless! "
"Hahahahaha!"
"Aiyo, I'm dying of laughter!"
"A small target of 100 million? There's nothing wrong with it, buddy! "
"This bastard makes me so angry that I want to laugh! You're from an ordinary family? Then we'll die! "
"Damn it, Earth can't stop this guy anymore!"
"He wants to ascend to the heavens!"
"This is the first time I've seen someone acting so shamelessly!"
"You don't know how beautiful your wife is? I'm impressed by your pretentious act! "
"Pfft, hahahaha! The reporters at the scene were all crying. They didn't know how to continue the conversation! This is the first time I've seen a celebrity make these reporters speechless! "
"The current Act Tough King has been born!"
"This act of acting tough is too fresh and refined!"
"This guy is trying to anger me to death!"
"Yeah, he's clearly showing off!"
"If I could have such a beautiful wife, I would be overjoyed even in my dreams. In the end, this guy actually said that he doesn't know whether his wife is beautiful or not! I'm gonna faint! Why don't you just die! "
"Face-smacking Zhang is beyond saving!"
"That mouth of Zhang Ye's! Sigh! "
"This guy's weight is 120 pounds, 119 pounds are all in his mouth!"
Roast!
Speechless!
Roaring with laughter!
Zhang Ye's "Four Famous Sayings" at the press conference instantly resounded throughout the country!
The screenshots of the livestream were also turned into emoticons by the meddlesome netizens. It went viral all over the country and was shared by countless netizens. Instantly, the Chinese citizens were looking forward to the screening of Wolf Warrior 2 even more. They all wanted to know why Zhang Ye suddenly had such great confidence.
The media was also spreading the news.
"Does Zhang Ye have face blindness?"
"Zhang Ye: I come from a normal family!"
"Zhang Ye's advice to young people: Earn 100 million first!"
"Zhang Ye's emoticons go viral!"
"Zhang Ye's new movie goes viral even before its broadcast!"
Online.
Under the Internet.
The news was spread to every corner.
It had to be said that the press conference this time was really too successful. The reason why Zhang Ye held the press conference was to promote the movie. But in the end, Zhang Ye and Wolf Warrior 2's names dominated the headlines of various news outlets overnight. The popularity of the movie instantly shot to the top and left everyone else in the dust!
…
The next day.
Early in the morning.
The Goof Group was very active.
This was a chat group for veteran celebrities in the domestic entertainment circle. It was almost dead, but ever since Zhang Ye returned, the group miraculously came back to life.
Ning Lan: "@ ZhangYe, are you awake yet?"
Shu Han: "Teacher Zhang, come out to chat. I was filming the entire day yesterday and only saw the live broadcast of yesterday's press conference today. Hahahaha, I've been laughing all morning!"
Amy: "That's too expensive for Lord Zhang!"
Zhang Ye really came out. "It was a joke, it was a joke."
Chen Guang: "This is the first time I've seen someone promote a movie like this!"
Fan Wenli: "Zhang 'er, you're hopeless with that mouth of yours."
Zhang Ye: "Hahaha, Yao Jiancai, Dong Shanshan, it's going to be premiering soon. The promotional war has already begun, so do your best, everyone."
Dong Shanshan: "Goodbye!"
Yao Jiancai: "Hur hur, we won't be able to put on such a big show!"
Li Ke appeared: "Wishing you a big box office hit."
Zhang Ye: "Thanks, Old Li."
Li Xiaoxian sent a smiley face. "We'll help you promote your new movie on Weibo as well."
Xiaodong: "I've already reposted it this morning."
Huo Dongfang: "I've already reposted it. Wishing it a big box office hit."
Zhang Ye: "Thank you, everyone. Thank you very much!"
Ning Lan extorted: "If the box office hit 500 million, we'll make sure to pay you well!"
Another movie director also appeared. "Haha, that's right!"
Zhang Ye smiled and typed: "500 million?"
Shu Han: "There's still hope."
Yao Jiancai: "I'll be satisfied with 300 million."
In this world, the Chinese people and the industry knew that a Chinese movie that could hit 300 million at the box office was already considered pretty good. Even Li Ke and a few other big name directors in the country wouldn't dare say that all of their movies could hit 500 million at the box office, much less a new director like Zhang Ye.
But Zhang Ye clearly didn't think so.
300 million?
500 million?
He felt that it was too little even if he added a zero to the end!
This was f * * king Wolf Warrior 2!
The Wolf Warrior 2 that had scared the shit out of people all over the world!
However, he did not say much in the group chat. This was because the movie hadn't been released yet, so he didn't dare to say too much about it. If Wolf Warrior 2 didn't adapt to this world, that would be too embarrassing for him. After all, he did not shoot the first movie but skipped straight to the second one.
Nervousness.
Anticipation.
Excitement.
He was also feeling very complicated right now.
On the same day, he did not rest even though he had just returned home. Instead, he led the film crew out to promote the movie again. Yao Jiancai, Jiang Hanwei, Dong Shanshan, Sophia, and Jacques were all present.
Interviews.
Appearing on TV.
Posting on Weibo.
The promotional war was in full swing!
…
Meanwhile.
Elsewhere. America.
The promotions for Commando 2 were also being carried out on a large scale around the world. Be it Hollywood's brand, Director Wilson's fame, or the influence of Commando 2's predecessor, all of it instantly garnered the attention and anticipation of movie fans all over the world.
The filming of the movie was completed.
The promotions and distribution of the movie were also carried out very quickly.
The UK placed great importance on it.
France promised a high schedule.
Japan gave the green light.
Korea strongly recommended it.
Commando 2 had a very smooth run in countless countries all over the world.
But it was only in one country that Commando 2 had a hard time!
In Wilson's office.
A white man came running in angrily.
Wilson said calmly, "How's the preparations for the distribution going?"
The white man said, "It's going well in the other countries."
Wilson nodded. "Hur hur, that's good."
The white man immediately said, "But there's a problem over in China!"
"What?" Wilson frowned. "It didn't get approved?"
The white man said, "It didn't! The SARFT called us back! They said that some of the scenes in our movie were too bloody and violent, so they didn't approve it! "
Wilson nearly fainted. "Bloody? Bloody, my ass! "
The white man said angrily, "Yeah, didn't Hollywood movies also get screened in China in the past?"
Wilson said, "All the other countries in the world have approved it, but only China doesn't approve it? What's the meaning of that? "
They had always looked down on the China film market, but they knew that the box office earnings there were still quite good. At least, it was the icing on the cake. Besides, why wouldn't they want to earn more money? So even though Wilson had said all that, he actually had no intention of giving up on the China market.
Wilson clenched his teeth and said, "Cut the scenes according to their requests before submitting them for approval!"
The white man said aggrievedly, "Understood."
Two days later.
Another piece of news came in!
Commando 2 was sent to China for approval for the second time, but it was rejected again!
The reason this time was that the movie's running time was too long and did not meet China's requirements.
The film crew of Commando 2 nearly went crazy with anger!
"What's the meaning of this?"
"The movie is too long?"
"That's even a fucking reason?"
"Holy shit! You call two and a half hours long? "
"Then what should we do?"
Wilson slammed the table. "Cut it again! Delete it according to their requests! "
Not long after, Commando 2 was rejected by China's SARFT for the third time!
Wilson said angrily, "How is that possible? What's the reason this time? "
The reporting staff member's face turned green. "This time, they said that our ticket prices are too high and do not meet China's requirements, so they have to lower the price!"
Wilson was really dumbfounded. "Why didn't they just say everything at once! Aren't they doing this on purpose? And they're even going to regulate the ticket prices? Can they do anything about it? "
The white man wiped away his sweat. "China's SARFT regulates everything."
Wilson was furious. "They're going too far! Damned China's specialties! "
Once!
Thrice!
Five times!
Commando 2 was rejected again and again!
It wasn't until the very end that an insider from the Directors Guild secretly told Wilson something that made him vomit blood in anger!
That person said, "Who's in charge of the approval of China's movies?"
Wilson said, "The SARFT."
That person said, "Who's in charge of the SARFT?"
Wilson said, "I think it's the Central Publicity Department?"
That person said, "Do you know who Zhang Ye's wife is?"
Wilson was taken aback. "Who is it?"
That person said, "The leader of the Central Publicity Department!"
Upon hearing that, Wilson and the Commando 2 film crew all fell to the ground!
Only at this moment did they realize what was going on. So it turned out that by using Zhang Ye to hype up the movie, they had already offended everyone in China, from the people to the leaders!
Wilson nearly cursed out loud!
Holy shit!
A hooligan like Zhang Ye who even dared to beat up people at the globally broadcasted Nobel Prize Awards could actually find a wife? And she's even a leader of the Central Publicity Department?
Are you kidding me!?
