Wang Zhongjun praised "Eight Hundred" as the best war film in the world in recent years and hoped it could help Huayi recover from its decline

Many people may not have heard of the brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, but you should know Huayi Brothers, which they created. Even if you don’t know, you must have seen the movies and TV series invested by Huayi. Movies such as "Endless", "Big Shot", "Kara is a Dog", "Cell Phone", "Assembly", "Old Cannon", and excellent film and television dramas such as "Dwelling Narrowness", "Soldier Assault", and "My Captain, My Regiment" were all invested by Huayi.

However, despite producing so many excellent TV dramas, Huayi Brothers has been in trouble recently. Some of the movies it invested in were postponed one after another, and the funds could not be recovered. Some of the movies had a big drop in reputation and box office, resulting in losses, which directly affected the sharp drop in Huayi's stock price. For this reason, Wang Zhongjun admitted that he sold a lot of his collection of calligraphy and paintings in order to save the company. Recently, Wang Zhongjun accepted an interview with a certain media and talked about the movie "Eight Hundred" which had been postponed.

Wang Zhongjun said that he is actually a very sentimental person, and also very heroic, and believes that film companies should bear cultural responsibilities. For example, he did not think that the movie "Assembly" could make money, but he still invested in it decisively, just for the word sentiment. Facts have proved that Wang Zhongjun bet on the right horse, "Assembly" invested 80 million, and finally got about 260 million box office, and also won numerous awards.

However, compared with "Assembly", "Eight Hundred" seems to have a somewhat unfortunate fate. The trailer was released close to the release, but it was postponed due to technical reasons, and the release date is still far away. Despite this, Wang Zhongjun is still full of confidence in "Eight Hundred". He bluntly said that "Eight Hundred" is a sentimental work created by himself and the creative team, and he believes that "Eight Hundred" cannot be filmed without sentiment.

Wang Zhongjun also said that he personally believed that "Eight Hundred" was the best war film in the world in recent years, and told the host: "I am not bragging, you will know after you see it." However, the host was obviously not as confident as Wang Zhongjun, and instead asked worriedly, "Do we have a chance to see it?"

Wang Zhongjun was still confident: Of course there is a chance to see it, why can't we watch this movie? It's just a modification. The host was worried again, but it was hard to say when it would be released. However, Wang Zhongjun was still confident: It won't take too long, how long can a movie be modified, it's just a modification, right?

Finally, Wang Zhongjun also revealed his true feelings. He said that he was looking forward to this movie because its release would alleviate Huayi's current situation, as it still has a large income. The movie "Eight Hundred" has not yet been released, but Wang Zhongjun is so confident that the movie can bring high box office and alleviate Huayi's decline, which shows that he is indeed confident in the movie.

It can be seen that Huayi Brothers is indeed in trouble now due to various reasons. In addition to selling his collection of calligraphy and paintings to help the company through the difficulties, if Wang Zhongjun has another card in his hand that can save the company's decline, it is probably the movie "Eight Hundred" which has not yet been released. Although Wang Zhongjun said that the movie is the best war movie in the world in recent years, and it has director Guan Hu, Zhang Yi, Jiang Wu, Wang Qianyuan and other acting talents, it will not be known until the movie is released whether "Eight Hundred" has enough power to help Huayi turn the situation around.
