The summer of 2017 in China was detonated by a domestic movie. From the release of 7 28 , "Wolf Warriors 2 " has been soaring all the way. From the unfavorable and uncertain before the release to the daily box office breaking 100 million yuan in a row, it easily topped the domestic box office in just half a month, and then entered the global film history box office TOP100 , winning the "number one" in the number of movie viewers in a single region. In the past month or more than a month, despite the numerous "encirclement and suppression" of domestic and foreign star blockbusters, "Wolf Warriors 2 " still firmly occupies a place in the top few of the Japanese box office rankings, and has surpassed 56 .9 billion, which everyone could not imagine before it was released. Results.

With the success of "Wolf Warriors 2 ", Wu Jing, who is a collection of editors, directors and actors, has also successfully transformed from a not-so-bright action "star". One film has thrown out the box office of many "famous directors" who have the right to speak in the industry for several blocks in their lifetime. Of course, how this movie should be evaluated is not the content of this article to discuss; what we want to analyze and discuss here is what we, as entrepreneurs, can learn from "Wolf Warriors 2 "?

No one's success will be a pie that falls out of thin air and just falls into your arms. From the stories in the film and the many news reports in front of and behind the stage, it is not difficult to find the success track of Wu Jing and "Wolf Warriors 2 .

The spirit of never giving up. In the film, Leng Feng, played by Wu Jing, went deep into the war-torn hinterland to rescue his compatriots. While fighting the rebels and mercenaries to death, he was also suspected by the rescuers and tortured by infectious diseases. In just 48 hours, he experienced several tests of life and death and finally completed the rescue mission. Outside the film, Wu Jing, as the director, put on all his belongings and owed countless human feelings and foreign debts, be prepared for the dangers of viruses and wars at all times when shooting in Africa. What impresses the audience is the great power feelings of "not giving up any compatriot". The film can be filmed and produced, and it also comes from the spirit of the whole crew never giving up.

Accumulation from quantitative change to qualitative change. Wu Jing made his debut as a kung fu niche and has been a supporting role in the Hong Kong film industry for many years. While suffering from the huge gap between ideal and reality, Wu Jing is constantly learning from those around him who look up to or look down on him. In addition to acting, it is more important to learn the whole production process of the film. Through more than ten years of accumulation of supporting actors, villains, and box lunch actors, he was able to achieve a magnificent turn with two "Wolf Warriors" after returning to the mainland.

Pre-target preparation. Shooting the "Wolf Warriors" series is a "big chess" under Wu Jing ". The first is the choice of goals. Under the circumstances that various types of films flood the market and make the audience have "difficulty in choosing", how to take the pulse of the quasi-market and the Chinese audience is undoubtedly the key to determine whether they can succeed in the future. The second is the preparation of the target. In order to shoot "Wolf Warriors", Wu Jing worked in the special forces for 18 months. In addition to military skills such as firearms and fighting, he also had to learn to fly airplanes and tanks. Wu Gang, an old man, insisted on keeping fit while filming "In the Name of the People". As soon as the TV series was finished, he entered the army and began to strictly "military training" from holding guns and aiming... Because of such preparation, many details in the film will be recognized by the majority of "military fans", win countless "tap water", and achieve a blowout word-of-mouth marketing.

Fully adjustable plan. According to relevant reports, the script of the "Wolf Warriors" series was already formed in the first part. Due to problems in the review of the second script, "Wolf Warriors 2 " was actually the third part. Just think, if there was no "alternative" for the third script, the initial investment in setting up the production team and purchasing equipment would have already ruined Wu Jing. Can you see this movie this summer, not to mention the missed market opportunities?

Be good at finding and using external resources. In all fairness, the cost of a 0.2 billion of "Wolf Warriors 2 " is not a large-scale production in the current domestic films, but many shots may not be able to be shot by burning money. For example, the deployment of tanks, missiles and ordnance is something that many directors dare not even think about. Why can Wu Jing do it? Looking at the list of production units and acknowledgement units at the beginning and end of the film, it is not difficult to find the mystery.

Excelsior attitude. With the popularity of "Wolf Warriors 2 ", the news that Wu Jing crouched on a tank to pick up a box lunch, almost drowned in underwater fighting, experienced all the action scenes personally, and invested nearly 100 million yuan over budget for post-production is also well known. However, only "military fans" who have seen the movie will notice such details as "the sound of shell shells popping up when shooting. Details that are destined to be ignored by most people can be "picked out" seriously. With this attitude, how can one worry about whether things can be done well?

Of course, there are many other factors for the success of "Wolf Warriors 2 ", such as the domestic and international situation, the rise of China, the change of Chinese mentality, the change of domestic film market pattern, etc., which may be called "external market opportunities". We can also say that the future "Wolf Warriors 3 " will hardly achieve the box office results of "Wolf Warriors 2 . However, for Dengfeng International, which is in charge of Wu Jing, "Wolf Warriors 2 " is a real successful case of enterprise project operation, which is worthy of our enterprise managers to ponder and learn.
