At this auto show, Dongfeng Warrior Technology and Bona Pictures announced a strategic cooperation and launched the first joint model - Warrior 917 Dragon Armor. Yu Dong, founder and chairman of Bona Pictures, officially announced the movie "Operation Dragon" at the Warrior booth, and jointly unveiled the Warrior 917 Dragon Armor with You Zheng, member of the Standing Committee of the Party Committee and Deputy General Manager of Dongfeng Motor Group Co., Ltd.
Yu Dong said that in the movie, the Dragon Squad used the Warrior 917 Dragon Armor. And shared the performance of this car on the movie set. After the
press conference, Yu Dong accepted a group interview from media such as Perren Auto. The following is an excerpt from the conversation.
q: The Warriors 917 Dragon Armor has a lot of connections with the movie "Operation Dragon". It has its own unique shape. How did you initially consider launching a joint model? Is there any special treatment for this car based on the plot of the movie? ?
on: The car is highly consistent with the movie "Operation Dragon" we are filming, which is the sequel to the movie "Operation Red Sea". In the movie, the Jiaolong Squad used this model, which was also specially customized and modified. The color of the car shown today is desert yellow. In the movie, the navy camouflage blue is used. It is also very beautiful and has the style of a military vehicle.
The Hollywood movie 007 has the Land Rover Defender, and our Chinese movie "Operation Dragon" has the Warrior 917 "Dragon Armor". It should be said that it is the first co-branded car in Chinese movies. Today we have witnessed the birth of the most hard-core movie derivative in history.
q: When I was at the scene just now, I saw you showing your love and recognition for the Warrior 917 Dragon Armor. You also picked up your first car at the scene. Which city or place will you choose to go to first after you get the car?
said: This is a very good question about . I most want to drive this car to Xinjiang because Xinjiang is so beautiful. We also filmed a lot of movies there. This year, the sequel to the first big-screen AI movie "Myth" starring Jackie Chan was directed by Tang Jili and starred Jackie Chan, as well as Xinjiang beauty Guli Nazha, and Zhang Yixing and many other well-known actors, this movie will be released in the summer.
The story is written during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. Huo Qubing led 800 light cavalry across the desert border, creating an invincible cavalry force, opening up the Western Region Corridor for the Han Dynasty, and establishing immortal achievements.
The movies produced by Bona all have this kind of military style. In history, the cavalry was able to fight the Huns, relying on 800 light cavalry and later tens of thousands of iron cavalry. At that time, they were military horses. Today, the People's Liberation Army has a modern naval force and a contemporary warrior 917 dragon armor, which is very suitable.
I want to drive this car and take our actors around Xinjiang. Go for a run on the Bayinbulak track in Han Han's movie. Han Han is also a racing driver. Bona invested in many of Han Han's movies, such as his " speeding life " series, which made audiences across the country, especially young audiences, excited. The racing scene at the end was spectacular.
Xinjiang has the desert Tianshan Mountains and the unique Duku Highway. I want to drive the Warrior to experience it. This car must go into Tibet and Xinjiang. It is more suitable for it in such a place.
q: Have you ever test-driven the Warrior 917 Dragon Armor?
on: There were many Warrior 917s on the set of the movie "Operation Dragon". Our actors used them during filming. This car is also an "actor" and it is the shining star in the movie. I also test-drove it on the set. This car.
q: How does this car perform in the field? For example, wire-controlled rear-wheel steering, zero-to-hundred acceleration, thousand-horsepower power performance, thousands of miles of battery life, etc.What do you think is certain about the performance of this car?
in: First of all, the Dragon Commando is an amphibious combat unit of the Marine Corps. It is known as the dragon on the sea, the tiger on the land, and the eagle in the air. Therefore, such a combat unit requires our actors to be integrated with this vehicle, including the navy's camouflage armor and this dragon armor, as well as its powerful performance. There is no place that this vehicle cannot go. We are very honored to co-launch this movie co-branded model with Warrior. With the release of the movie, I believe more people will see the style of this car. It is an off-road vehicle that definitely has the style of a military vehicle and has strong off-road performance.
