It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?
Chapter 1219 Reward Yourself
Chapter 1219 Reward Yourself~
The first day of release was 6.68 million, the next day was Saturday, 7.45 million, and the third day was Sunday, 7.83 million...
After three days of the first weekend, "The Wandering Earth" truly stood out from the crowd, leading the entire summer vacation with a box office of 21.96 billion!
It is not an exaggeration to even describe it as "leading the trend"!
This box office result also stunned everyone in the industry, and they were unable to recover for a long time.
"Wow? Even better than Avengers 4? This breaks the record again?"
"Avengers 4 grossed 19.4 billion in the first three days of its weekend, while The Wandering Earth went straight to 21.96 billion, an increase of 2.56 million. Oh my god!"
"There's no way the 50 billion will be lost. If the key is extended a few more times, hiss!"
"..."
Along with the exclamations from the industry, Chen Fei was also constantly receiving updates from abroad.
“Tickets to nearly 3 lMAX-D theaters in North America have been sold out, especially among the Chinese community, where support is very high!
If it weren’t for The Lion King, The Wandering Earth might have even topped the North American single-day box office chart.”
Guo Fan's voice was extremely excited.
In addition to running various roadshows and promotional activities these days, he has been keeping an eye on the box office performance of movies.
Faced with this grand occasion of success both at home and abroad, he was so excited that he couldn't even sleep well at night.
I used to be so nervous that my hair fell out, and now I’m so excited that I can’t sleep whole nights. It can be said that I am in pain and happy at the same time!
"Well, I've received news that the North American box office performance is indeed good, and it may even reach 2 million US dollars."
While responding, Chen Fei checked the data report sent by Pan Asia Cinemas.
In fact, in addition to the North American and mainland markets, the box office performance of the entire Southeast Asian market is also very good.
Of course, the stick market is not included in this range.
When Chen Fei was checking Twitter yesterday, he found that Korean netizens were already very angry. They angrily stated that the copyright of "The Wandering Earth" should have belonged to them, and it was China that shamelessly plagiarized them!
Domestic netizens naturally would not let them go and started rushing in!
"Yours, it's all yours, you want to get everything, how about you eat my shit too?"
"You want to grab the Dragon Boat Festival, the Spring Festival, and now even the movie copyrights. Do you want to die?"
"I'm so excited to be able to turn a funeral in our country into a wedding celebration..."
It’s quite interesting to say that foreign countries have actually been providing a lot of free software for Chinese people to circumvent the firewall.
Its purpose is very pure, which is to instill Western ideas into those who climb over the wall and guide them to do all kinds of things that harm their own country.
However, things often develop in an uncontrollable direction.
Many Chinese people use their free VPN to bypass the firewall and simply ignore those Western ideas.
They only do two things:
1. Exchange insults and arguments with foreigners and netizens from other countries.
2. Go to P station to find a good-looking girl~
This operation directly confused those malicious organizations, and also let foreign netizens understand what "Zuan people" are!
Those insulting words were one after another, and they directly made foreign netizens cry!
As for Koreans and ordinary netizens, they are completely defenseless when facing the Chinese "Zuan people" and are dizzy with the criticism.
This also successfully caused the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" to soar to the sky!
At this point, not only domestic media, but even foreign media began to report on the incident.
The Hollywood Reporter: "China's first big-budget hard science fiction film, The Wandering Earth, has successfully won over $3000 million at the North American box office. This is undoubtedly the biggest vision for China's future outer space adventures!"
The New York Times: "After Gravity and The Martian, the emergence of hard science fiction like The Wandering Earth means that Chinese films have finally joined the 'space race'."
Aintitcool: "The Wandering Earth looks like an interesting and promising sci-fi action film that could shake up the American sci-fi world."
European Times: "As a Chinese science fiction film, The Wandering Earth has achieved such success and reputation that it is understandable that Koreans are jealous."
Russian Film News: "It is clear that China is saving the world, and the United States can retire."
A large number of positive reviews from abroad have followed, which not only increased the popularity of the film, but also gave mainland netizens a sense of "honor"!
So many foreigners and foreign media are praising "The Wandering Earth" and supporting Chinese science fiction films. Doesn't this mean that our movie will be a global hit? !
All of a sudden, the number of fans who watched the movie a second or even a third time increased.
Many people are even shouting slogans, calling for "The Wandering Earth" to enter the top ten of the global box office list in film history!
The herd mentality of netizens was immediately drawn out.
So, on the fourth day of the release of "The Wandering Earth", even though it was Monday, the box office performance did not decline too much.
Single-day box office 5.07 billion!
Total box office 27.03 billion!
The industry was undoubtedly shocked again by this achievement!
At the same time, "Shanghai Fortress" is also trying hard to take advantage of the popularity and attract traffic to get a good pre-sale box office result.
However, many people find it difficult to accept the marketing strategy of doomsday romance + science fiction.
After watching "The Wandering Earth", everyone was deeply touched by the "science fiction elements + patriotism".
At a time when the world is facing a crisis, everyone is rushing to save themselves, save the earth, and save all mankind. Why is it that your movie "Shanghai Fortress" has started to talk about "love"?
Moreover, the promotional videos and posters released in recent days have almost blinded the eyes of many netizens.
On the poster, Lu Han and Shu Qi look at each other affectionately, and they seem to be full of affection~
But when they looked at their ages, everyone couldn't help but complain.
The latter can even be the former’s mother, so where does the love come from?
This has resulted in the pre-sale box office results of "Shanghai Fortress" rising at a shrinking rate every day since the pre-sale started.
It's been 4 days and the total pre-sale has just reached 3000 million, which is simply appalling.
Teng Huatao wanted to change the direction of the publicity, but the plans were already decided in advance, so how could he just change them whenever he wanted?
Therefore, he could only hold on and wait for the day of its official release.
During this period, the premiere of "The Bravest" arrived as scheduled~
As a mainstream film adapted from real events, this movie has attracted quite a lot of attention.
It’s a pity that it collided with "The Wandering Earth", so its popularity has never reached the level of a "hit", and related hot searches have been hovering between the third and fourth positions.
"Alas, I never expected to run into such a big movie. If I had known this would happen, I should have suggested to Director Yu to change the schedule."
At the premiere of "The Bravest", Huang Xiaoming shook hands with Chen Fei and Guo Fan respectively, unable to hide his envy.
If the movie he starred in could have the same popularity and momentum as "The Wandering Earth", then he could definitely take the opportunity to become a big star!
Unfortunately, this is obviously impossible.
"I heard that you almost got injured while filming this movie?"
Chen Fei looked at Huang Xiaoming, but couldn't see any injuries on him.
But the outside world has been spreading the story, and marketing accounts have been promoting it in various ways. Could it be fabricated?
"Well, when we were filming an explosion scene, the airflow was so strong that it knocked me over! But luckily, because I was wearing protective clothing, I only had some scratches on my arms and back."
"Yeah, well, you still have to be safe."
As Chen Fei spoke, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Wu Jing who was not far away.
That guy is really cruel!
Almost every time he shoots a scene, he breaks his legs and arms, but he can recover in a very short time. He is really lucky!
"Director Chen, I heard that your company has filed several more TV series?"
At this moment, a questioning voice suddenly came to my ear.
Chen Fei turned his head and saw Yang Ying staring at him with a pair of big eyes.
"I don't really pay attention to this aspect. Jiang Xueruo is responsible for it." Chen Fei said casually, not wanting to discuss this topic with Yang Ying.
How could he not know what this woman was thinking?
You just want to ask for a role?
Ever since "Entrepreneurial Era" was criticized to bits, Yang Ying has not been able to get any film or TV drama projects, and no one dares to use her.
Even China Television, which has a very good relationship with Huang Xiaoming, no longer dares to use this "big baby".
There is no other way. The operation of shooting and failing every time is too scary. Even though CTS is a big company, it can't afford such a tossing and turning? "I saw "Snow Swordsman", "The Son-in-law", "Dream of Hualu", "The Beginning", "Wind Blowing Midsummer" and so on. Many of them have passed the review in the past few days..."
Yang Ying was still chattering away, and it was obvious that she was very interested in these dramas.
Huang Xiaoming on the side winked at her frantically, but she didn't know whether she really didn't see it or was pretending not to see it, and she didn't stop.
Fade Chen chuckled and said softly, "Oh, really? So many? I don't know yet."
After saying this casually, he nodded towards Huang Xiaoming and walked away.
Seeing him leave, Yang Ying's eyes suddenly showed a bit of loss.
And in the next second, Huang Xiaoming's scolding voice arrived as expected, "What are you doing? Didn't I tell you before I came here? You can say what you should say, and you must shut up if you shouldn't say it. Why don't you listen?"
Hearing this, Yang Ying immediately responded with dissatisfaction: "You don't help me ask for resources, so don't you allow me to ask for them myself?"
"Is it useful to ask? Didn't I tell you that I would help you? Can you get the Feiyue Film and Television project? Doing this will only make Director Chen hate you even more. Do you understand? Can you use your brain?"
"Huang Xiaoming! What's your attitude? I went through the gates of hell and gave birth to a son for you, and now you look down on me?! And you even scold me!"
"..."
Huang Xiaoming really wanted to reason with Yang Ying so that she could understand how the rules of the circle worked.
But the other party asked, "What's your attitude?" and brought up his son again, which immediately left him speechless.
He really wanted to ask Yang Ying: Isn't it possible for you to not have to worry about food, drink and clothing and just stay at home to take care of your husband and children?
But he knew that if he asked this question, the two of them would definitely have a big fight when they returned!
Because Yang Ying has always portrayed herself as a "female protagonist" who "doesn't rely on men", asking her to "take care of her husband and children" is tantamount to killing her!
"Say something? Why don't you say anything?" Yang Ying continued to press forward.
For the sake of his son and family, Huang Xiaoming could only endure and remain silent.
Just at this moment, the host on the stage started calling the director and actors to come on stage, which saved him!
"call!"
Huang Xiaoming let out a long sigh and suppressed his anger, "Go find a seat. The premiere is about to begin and I need to get ready to go on stage."
"Hmph! I'll settle the score with you when I get home!" Yang Ying snorted coldly, turned around and left.
"Brother Xiaoming? What's wrong with my sister-in-law? She looks unhappy." Du Jiang came over and looked curiously at Huang Xiaoming, who also looked unhappy.
Both of them are the main creators of "The Bravest" and they get along pretty well in private.
"Oh, it's nothing. It's normal for women to have a little temper." Huang Xiaoming pretended to be strong and said with an indifferent look on his face.
But at this moment, he noticed Huo Siyan, who was not far away, shouting to him, "Husband, come on! My son and I fully support you!"
Du Jiang nodded slightly, smiled and waved in response: "Yeah, okay."
Seeing this scene, Huang Xiaoming couldn't hide his envy.
"You...do you two usually quarrel?"
"Fight?" Du Jiang was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "When a couple lives together, they will definitely quarrel.
But my wife is very understanding. She is responsible for all the household affairs, and she handles the children's education, social interactions and other things very well.
So, when we encounter some problems between husband and wife, I will choose to coax her, and she is easy to coax..."
After listening to Du Jiang's words, Huang Xiaoming felt a deep sense of disappointment in his heart.
Is Yang Ying pretty?
It is indeed very beautiful and very much to his taste and aesthetics.
But in life and career, she was totally unable to provide him with the feeling and help he wanted, but instead often caused him a lot of trouble!
"Ugh!"
Huang Xiaoming let out a long sigh and felt more and more tired.
……
From Chen Fei's perspective, the movie "The Bravest" still deserves a passing score.
It is tear-jerking, a bit heavy, and very touching. It tells a touching story with real images and simple camera language.
The fire scene was mainly shocking.
The fire spread rapidly and explosions continued. People seemed particularly helpless in front of the fire dragon. This disaster was really creepy to watch!
What’s more surprising is that Huang Xiaoming’s performance in this movie is quite good. There is not a greasy feeling at all, and one can even feel a real sense of emotion from the character.
Especially the sentence "I just want to complete the mission and get out alive to see my wife and children", which can be said to express the thoughts of many firefighters.
They don't want to be heroes, they want to be ordinary people who can protect their loved ones.
It’s just the honor of being a firefighter that requires them to face more dangerous and terrifying fires!
This time, Jiang Liwei made Chen Fei see a different Huang Xiaoming.
He no longer acts cool or handsome, and even has scars on his face from fighting fires, but it is precisely characters like this that are full of flesh and blood and have power!
Although Jiang Liwei's face is always blurred on the big screen, with blood and oil stains all over his face, his courage and belief are particularly real and moving.
But then again, while there are advantages, there are also many disadvantages.
For example, forced sensationalism, adding a lot of coincidences and tragic plots to create a "hero", and setting a lot of flags!
This kind of filming technique might have been good in the past, but it seems a bit outdated now and is very embarrassing to watch.
And the director's ability doesn't seem to be that good either.
Especially the public service announcement-style filming, which seemed particularly clumsy, as if it was just for the sake of making people cry.
After watching the whole movie, when Chen Fei turned around and looked at the audience, he saw that many people had red eyes from crying. It was so touching!
As we all know, once a person starts crying, his or her thinking ability will decline.
And in this case, the film's critical acclaim will naturally grow.
This can be considered as a way of expressing mainstream themes in movies, but it is not very popular in the industry.
"Director Chen? How was it? My performance in this movie was okay, right?"
After stepping down from the stage, Huang Xiaoming couldn't wait to come to Chen Fei and asked for his opinion.
"Yeah, it's really good."
Fade Chen nodded and was about to give him some praise and encouragement, but at this time Tan Zhuo came over, leading a young girl in her twenties behind him.
"Director Chen, long time no see." Tan Zhuo greeted him first, and then introduced the girl following behind him: "This is Cai Wenjing, an undergraduate student of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy in 08."
"Hello, senior brother."
Cai Wenjing was very polite and quickly bowed and greeted him, fearing that she would upset Fade Chen.
What surprised Chen Fei was that Huang Xiaoming next to him actually smiled and nodded at the girl, and even said a few words to her.
"Are you three going to cooperate with each other?"
"Yes." Huang Xiaoming smiled slightly, "We are preparing to cooperate in filming an urban workplace romance drama called "Emergency Public Relations", and the filming will officially start in November.
I play a crisis public relations expert in it, Cai Wenjing plays my girlfriend, and Tan Zhuo plays my ex-girlfriend, haha..."
Huang Xiaoming was rambling on and on about the introduction, but Chen Fei was already speechless at this time.
This guy is really awesome!
He just made a film that was barely of good quality, and created the character of the "fire hero" "Jiang Liwei".
But then he turned around and took on another urban romance drama, playing the role of a crisis public relations expert?
If nothing unexpected happens, this will definitely be another "greasy and domineering president" character!
Chen Fei didn't know how to evaluate him. When would he be able to correct this habit of "rewarding himself"?
