"Operation Red Sea 2": Blockbuster release 2018, "Operation Red Sea" starring Lin Chaoxian won a total box office of 360 million, becoming a classic in anti-Japanese war movies.
Since the publication of the first book, it has been natural to have expectations. However, for many years, little progress has been made on this remarkable project.
Lin Chaoxian has directed a series of movies such as "Emergency Rescue", "Changjin Lake", "Breaking Point", etc., all of which are action movies full of passion and passion, but the storyline (except for "Changjin Lake") seems a little thin.
Especially "Breaking Point", which is a movie that can be called a "** film", but after 31 days, its box office is only more than 90 million, and the investment of 200 million is gone. On the eve of New Year's Day, Bona Film Company announced that "Operation Red Sea 2" will officially start filming.
Compared with the former, the latter can be said to be "generous", and the total investment is expected to reach 2.5 billion. Lin Chaoxian said in an interview at the Shanghai International Film Festival that the film will invest three times the production cost of "Avatar". "Heaven and earth, earth.
Director Lin said that the filming location of "Sea Fortress" is "submarine", which shows that the previous episode of "Battle in the Desert" is not exciting enough, and the martial arts scene in the next episode is even more exciting. And in this film, the choice of the protagonist is also in the spotlight. Will the original cast come back?
In Hollywood series of films, creators often take a "one-and-done" approach. Schwarzenegger, for example, has been playing roles in "The Terminator" since the 1980s, and until recent years he remained a star on the big screen. Similarly, there is Tom Tom, his "Top Gun" series, "Mission Impossible" series, these are the styles he has insisted on for many years.
However, Zhang Yi, the spiritual protagonist of the previous movie, has been replaced. And Huang Jingyu, who played Gu Shun, was also replaced, which is really surprising. Zhang Yi has been attracting attention in recent years, and can be said to be a model in the entertainment industry.
From "Man Jianghong" to the end of this year, from "Priceless Treasure" to "The Tip of the Knife" to "The Three Teams", one after another. When it comes to television, he's also outstanding. From "Hurricane" to "Who Is He" to "Huan Yan", he has become the most representative actor in domestic movies and TV series.
I don't know if it's a matter of time arrangement, or something else, Zhang Yi didn't come. His absence greatly weakened the "military atmosphere" of this movie. Huang Jingyu's absence is also a pity.
Similar to Zhang Yi, he is also an iron-blooded man, who has appeared in many movies and TV series, and is known as a "military actor". Army-themed films test the physical fitness and willpower of the actors.
With such a big change, can the newcomers do it?Yu Dong, chairman of Bona Film and Television Group, was also present at the scene before the release of "Operation Red Sea". The film announced the four stars of Huang Xuan, Yu Shi, Du Jiang, and Jiang Luxia.
They were dressed in blue military uniforms, and each of them exuded an air of fortitude, and there was no feminine feeling at all. Jiang Luxia showed a dazzling temperament in "War Chronicles", showing the bravery of a short-lived female warrior, which was very outstanding.
In a bunch of big men, the light of her woman is also very bright. Everyone is looking forward to her return.
Huang Xuan's acting skills should not be underestimated, his performance in a costume drama has been widely praised, but he has a scholarly atmosphere, whether he can be qualified for the position of Zhang Yi, the captain, still needs time to test.
Du Jiang has always been the exclusive supporting role of Bona Company, although his performance this time cannot be said to be the protagonist, but his excellent performance is still worth looking forward to. And now, all he has to do is adapt. On New Year's Day, the crew prepared a performance for him, and this time his appearance attracted everyone's attention.
She played Ji Fa in "Fengshen", jumped to the top, and was hailed as a new generation of first-line stars. His acting ability is still very good, I heard that when choosing actors, Yu Shi was one of the best in equestrian and archery. He is very talented in sports.
Huang Xuan is mainly acting, while Yu Shi is advertising, under Lin Chaoxian's arrangement, as long as his arrangement is appropriate, with the influence of his previous classic works, it can definitely make people shine.
Yu Shi played the second female lead in "King of the Sky" before, at least compared to those young actors, she is still very manly. However, it is debatable whether he can become a heavyweight.
This is not only a test of physical fitness, but also a test of the actor, because he is only a rookie in this circle. In recent years, the film industry has tended to use a lineup of "actors + first-line actors". What do you expect from that film?
