The Kiwis that helped make China's most successful movie ever

A team of Kiwis have helped to make a film which has become China's biggest ever box office success.

Wolf Warrior 2 has been confirmed as China's highest-grossing film after racking up roughly $826 million.

Billed as a Chinese Rambo story, the action film is directed by and stars one of China's top action heroes Wu Jing, as a former special forces operative going head to head with a band of mercenaries.

And New Zealand's own Park Road Post Production was responsible for the sound editing and mixing on the production.

The film's sound was edited by Chris Ward (dialogue supervisor), Hayden Collow (effects supervisor) and Stephen Gallagher (music editor) and mixed at Park Road by two-time Oscar winner Mike Hedges and Gilbert Lake.

"All of the team are delighted for Wu Jing and the producers of Wolf Warrior 2," says Park Road Chief Executive Cameron Harland.

"We had a world-class team of sound editors working on the dialogue, effects and music edit and then supported that with the sound mix team, led by our own Mike Hedges and his team."

The film, which also stars Frank Grillo, Celina Jade, Wu Gang and Zhang Han, has dominated the box office in China since its release last month.

According to Variety magazine, it has been the highest grossing film in the world for the past two weekends, beating major Hollywood releases.
