Screenwriter Liu Yi was interviewed by 1905 Film Network in Australia.
Special feature of 1905 film network Liu Yi, the screenwriter of the series of films, recently accepted an exclusive interview with 1905 Film Network at the Australian AACTA Awards Ceremony, and he revealed that War Wolf 3 has a relatively complete story. At the same time, Liu Yi also revealed that his new work will once again challenge the theme of military action. This time, he set the story in a submarine deep in the South China Sea. What kind of deep-sea legend Liu Yi will create for the audience this time is quite exciting.
The stories of "Wolf Warriors 2" and "War Wolf 3" were reversed, and Liu Yi exposed Jason Wu to be very competitive.
Although there is still more than half a month before the end of the year, the box office performance of "Wolf Warriors 2" of 5.6 billion yuan has already been booked as the box office champion this year, bringing the box office record of Chinese movies to a high point of 5 billion yuan. After the nationwide rush to watch Wolf Warriors 2, the audience also looked forward to the third part of Wolf Warriors. In fact, War Wolf 3 had a complete story.
"At present, Wolf Warriors 2, which the audience saw, actually used the story of War Wolf 3, and the original script of Wolf Warriors 2. Because some working conditions were not available at that time, I put it down first. At present, it is very likely that the original "Wolf Warriors 2" story will be put directly behind the film as a continuation of the whole story. Of course, we will make a series of adjustments to the specific details. " Liu Yi revealed that the script of War Wolf 3 has not been revised yet, but the overall story is relatively complete and the main line is relatively clear, so the audience can get a glimpse from the eggs at the end of Wolf Warriors 2.

Referring to director Jason Wu, Liu Yi said frankly, "He is a very competitive person! When Jason Wu made the first film of Wolf Warriors, no one was optimistic, even friends around him opposed it, saying that the audience would not watch such a film, but Jason Wu kept insisting that he was such a competitive person, so he could make the Wolf Warriors series. " Liu Yi said with a smile, "Therefore, when we cooperate, we will have a fierce debate and collide with many innovative things. Even when we are discussing the script, we already have a very specific action design." Liu Yi said that as a creator, it is very happy to cooperate with Jason Wu. "He knows exactly what he wants, so we all rack our brains to help Jason Wu realize it. If you meet a director who is always reinventing himself, it will be difficult. "
It is also worth mentioning that "Wolf Warriors 2" will also represent China for the Best Foreign Language Film Award in the 90th Academy Awards. Liu Yi was very excited about this. "The box office performance of" Wolf Warriors 2 "really exceeded all our expectations, but I think the biggest surprise was being chosen to represent China’s" Chongao ",which is also an honor for us." The nominations for the best foreign language film in this year’s Academy Awards will also be announced this month. Let’s wish China the best of luck.

Liu Yi’s new work challenges the battle of the deep sea and will extend its tentacles to science fiction movies in the future.
Referring to his new work, Liu Yi revealed, "I’m writing a story about a submarine called Deep Sea, which is set in the South China Sea and similar in genre to Wolf Warriors 2. It’s still a military action movie."
Liu Yi himself is a senior diver and a technical diver. Compared with ordinary divers, Liu Yi often goes to deeper waters or confined spaces to experience a more wonderful underwater world. "I have tried to be hit by rocks falling from caves, and I have been pinned down by broken steel beams in shipwrecks, but in the end I have successfully escaped." Liu Yi said that his diving experience was not thrilling, but this hobby brought infinite inspiration to his new book Deep Sea.

Undoubtedly, after the great success of Wolf Warriors 2, more and more producers asked Liu Yi to write military movies. In Liu Yi’s heart, he still had an unfinished dream of sci-fi movies. Liu Yi said, "I will definitely write a story close to sci-fi in the future, and now I have an idea. I hope I can find a suitable production company and complete this dream with me."
However, it must be said that science fiction films have always been the weakness of China films, and China’s lack of imagination has also been criticized. Liu Yi has different views on this. "Not only in the creative process, but also in the production and self-confidence. Taking science fiction films as an example, in addition to their own imagination, we must also improve our understanding of science fiction films and improve film technology. " Liu Yi said, "You see, this time the Australian Aita Award has added the Best Asian Film Award for the first time, and China’s film Wolf Warriors 2 has also been shortlisted. What does this mean? On the one hand, China’s position in the world has improved; on the other hand, China’s films are more industrialized and commercialized, and their values are more detailed! On the contrary, I think that science fiction films will be a feasible way. "
As a successful screenwriter, Liu Yi is still very modest, saying that he still has a lot to learn. When it comes to the advice to China’s screenwriter, Liu Yilian said "I dare not". "Let me talk about my own feelings, or we should learn the skills and rules of genre movies and commercial movies in a down-to-earth and all-round way. Everyone always thinks that movies are art, and art has no rules. In fact, art has rules to find."
