It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1456 25 Days! Global Box Office Reaches 280 Billion! A New Box Office Record in Film History!
There were no lengthy media interviews, no group appearances by celebrities and actors, and no tedious speeches.

As the last audience member took their seat, all the lights in the stadium suddenly went out.

The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) kicks off tonight's sci-fi feast in the most direct way!
Under the watchful eyes of 20,000 spectators, the spherical screen gradually lit up...

The first thing that catches the eye is the iconic Starry Sky Logo of Flying Films, where blue light particles converge in the darkness to form the outline of a spaceship, which disappears in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, the logo of Longxiang Cinemas, resembling a dome of light and shadow, slowly appeared.

The surrounding light and shadow spread like ripples on water, conforming to the curvature of the dome and filling the entire field of vision.

Two seconds later, the logo completely disappeared, replaced by an endless universe!

Against a deep black background, countless stars twinkle like shattered diamonds, and nebulae slowly swirl in the distance, creating an almost realistic texture.

At this moment, the advantages of the dome theater were brought to their fullest potential.

The audience seemed to instantly escape Earth's gravity and float in a vast sea of ​​stars.

Many people instinctively gripped the armrests of their seats and let out an unmistakable gasp of surprise!

"This is the capital city in 2007."

A deep voiceover begins, followed by a zoom-in shot.

When the view passes through the atmosphere, the distortion of light and shadow is incredibly detailed.

The texture of the clouds, the refraction of sunlight—every detail is impeccably realistic.

Soon, the camera focused on the Tsinghua University campus.

Liu Yifei, who plays Ye Wenjie, sits on a bench by the lake, holding a physics textbook left by her father, her eyes filled with an unyielding gloom.

The film does not deliberately sensationalize Ye Wenjie's character, but rather slowly unveils her heavy past through her conversations with her sister and her alone moments at the Red Coast Base...

The radar antennas at the Red Coast base stand tall in the snow, their cold, metallic texture emanating from the screen.

The moment she pressed the launch button, blue radio waves ripped through the night sky like a sharp sword!
At the same moment, the speakers around the dome simultaneously emitted the buzzing sound of radio waves, making the audience feel as if they were on that cold night, experiencing the despair and determination in her heart.

"The Trisolaran civilization, four hundred light-years away, in the Trisolaran system."

The scene abruptly shifts the moment the narration changes.

The next second, three stars were seen moving erratically in the universe, sometimes approaching each other and bursting out with fiery flares, and sometimes moving away and leaving behind cold darkness.

On the planet's surface, the fibrous sheets that the Trisolarans had dehydrated into were swept up by the gale and piled up into small mountains.

When the star gets close, these fiber sheets quickly absorb water and come back to life, busily working in the makeshift underground bunker.

The film's depiction of the transition between the "Stable Era" and the "Chaotic Era" of the Trisolaran planet is truly stunning!
When the "Triple Sky" occurred, three enormous stars occupied most of the spherical screen.

Flames rolled and engulfed the planet's surface, rocks melted into flowing lava, and the heat seemed to burn the skin of the audience through the screen.

When the "Eternal Era" arrived, the sunlight gently shone on the revitalized earth, and tender green plants grew rapidly.

A brief moment of joy appeared on the Trisolaran's face, which eased the tension in the audience slightly...

What impressed the audience the most was the scene of Qin Shi Huang setting up a human computer!
The camera pans down from the sky, showing a million soldiers lined up neatly on the plain, forming a giant circuit pattern, their black armor contrasting sharply with the yellow earth.

At Qin Shi Huang's command, the soldiers raised their hands and bowed as instructed, conveying binary information through body movements.

On a distant high platform, a display the size of an abacus lit up with dots of light in unison.

The dome screen's expansive view allows the entire array to be seen, with each soldier's movements precisely synchronized, just like real mechanical components.

When the "calculation successful" signal came, the entire audience erupted in uncontrollable gasps!

"My God! How...how did they do that?!"

At this moment, James Cameron, who had been invited, was sitting in the guest section.

Seeing this scene before him, he subconsciously leaned forward, his eyes filled with disbelief!

It's no exaggeration to say that since entering this industry, he has never seen such a grand and sci-fi scene full of Eastern wisdom!

This creative idea of ​​combining ancient civilization with future technology completely overturned his understanding of science fiction movies!

When the plot progresses to the "countdown" crisis of Wang Miao, played by Chen Fei, the suspense in the movie is instantly maximized.

The numbers Wang Miao saw through the camera lens were suspended directly in the center of the dome, decreasing second by second starting from "120:00:00".

Wherever he looked, those cold, white numbers followed him like a shadow.

When he saw in the laboratory that the undulating curve of the cosmic microwave background radiation turned into a countdown pattern, the light and shadow around the dome began to flicker in sync.

Blue ripples, like a tide, surrounded the audience, accompanied by tense background music, allowing everyone in the audience to feel his fear and collapse.

Holy crap! This is so true!

Many film critics in China are now taking notes in their notebooks.

Without exaggeration, this immersive suspense experience is more suffocating than any horror movie!
The blank spaces in the notebook were gradually filled with text, and all I could see were words of praise!

The ETO organization's gatherings were filled with absurdity and strangeness.

In the abandoned factory, elites from all over the world gathered together, paying homage to the projection of the Trisolaran civilization.

The Trisolaran image projected was not the "alien" of traditional science fiction films, but a transparent, gel-like life form that changed shape as the words flowed.

When Evans proclaimed the slogan, "Destroy human tyranny, the world belongs to the Trisolarans," the lights in the entire venue suddenly dimmed to their lowest setting, with only the blue light from the projection illuminating the faces of the audience.

This sent a chill down many people's spines.

When the plan for the Guzheng Project was revealed, the scene instantly switched to the Panama Canal.

The nanoblades, like invisible threads, are wrapped between the towers on both sides of the canal, gleaming faintly silver in the sunlight.

This seemingly calm scene instantly made viewers familiar with the original work hold their breath, anticipating the shocking scene to come.

The execution of Operation Guzheng is considered a pinnacle of Chinese film special effects!
As the "Judgment Day" slowly entered the death net formed by nanoblades, the camera switched from multiple angles—underwater, in the air, and on the shore—clearly showing the process of the blades cutting through the ship's hull.

There are no bloody scenes, only the delicate texture of metal being precisely cut.

The ship's hull was like a cake sliced ​​open with a scalpel, disintegrating layer by layer.

The containers, equipment, and ship structure broke apart in sequence and fell into the canal, creating a huge splash!
The dome screen's immersive perspective makes the audience feel as if they are above the canal, clearly seeing the cutting trajectory of each flying blade, and even feeling the terrifying precision.

As the last piece of the ship hull sank into the water, the entire audience fell into a brief silence, which was then followed by thunderous applause!
This scene completely shattered Hollywood's monopoly on science fiction action scenes and showcased the top-level strength of the Chinese film industry!

At the end of the movie, Wang Miao and Shi Qiang stand on the beach, watching the sunset in the distance.

The two men held the ultimatum sent by the Trisolaran civilization: "You are insects!"

The camera slowly zooms out, expanding from the figures of the two people to the entire Earth, then to the solar system, and finally back to the vast universe.

The Trisolaran fleet, like twinkling stars, is slowly sailing towards Earth...

On the dome screen, countless stars twinkled, as if telling the story of the coldness and cruelty of the universe!

In contrast, the Earth's blue light appeared exceptionally fragile in the darkness. When the image froze on the words "To be continued," the entire audience erupted in prolonged applause once again!

Many spectators even stood up, waving their arms and cheering wildly!
Tonight's screening allowed everyone to fully experience what it means to be the beginning of a cosmic epic!
Meanwhile, the film and television industry colleagues in the guest seats were completely dumbfounded.

Fu Ruoqing looked at the special effects scene on the screen with a very complicated expression.

At this moment, he finally understood that the gap between China Film Group's technical reserves and those of "The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)" was no longer a matter of investment scale, but a generational gap in the level of the film industry.

Wang Jian'er, standing next to him, swallowed hard, secretly relieved that "The Little Monster of Langlang Mountain" had its release date changed.

Otherwise, facing such an opponent would only result in a crushing defeat without any suspense!

He even felt that even if the schedule was changed, it would probably still suffer a huge impact.

Meanwhile, foreign media reporters were constantly taking pictures of the scenes on the screen.

Because they are very clear that the release of this film will inevitably change the landscape of global science fiction films!

Spielberg could only manage a wry smile at this moment.

He had originally planned to try and break Chen Fei's box office record during his lifetime.

But only now did he realize how foolish his idea was.

The first book in the Three-Body Problem series already showcased such a grand scene. With the addition of the two subsequent books in the series, wouldn't it completely overturn the entire film market?
When the lights came on, the entire audience stood up in unison.

"Clap clap clap!"

The applause lasted for a full five minutes before finally stopping. It's no exaggeration to say that everyone's expressions at that moment were absolutely thrilled!

The allure of top-tier science fiction is enough to captivate everyone!

It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the audience, still excited, began to leave.

The area outside the dome theater gradually became bustling with noise, as everyone enthusiastically discussed their movie-watching experience.

At this moment, Chen Fei appeared beside the guests, smiling as he extended an invitation to his domestic and international film and television colleagues present:
"Thank you all for coming from afar. I have prepared a small feast in the banquet hall. Please come and join us for your meal..."

The guests present today represent half of the global film industry.

Everyone came out of respect for Chen Fei, so naturally we can't let them leave hungry.

This is both a courtesy of the host and a good opportunity for industry peers to exchange ideas.

While everyone was on their way to the restaurant, announcements about the premiere of "The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)" and the stunning debut of the dome theater had already swept across the entire internet like a tidal wave.

The headlines of major media outlets were extremely impactful:

"An epic premiere! The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) stunned the world! Dome theaters set a new benchmark for sci-fi movie viewing!"

"The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) perfectly captures the essence of the original novel, ushering in a new era for Chinese science fiction films!"

"Tickets are in high demand! The dome theater at Shanhe Film City is experiencing a frenzy, with 'The Three-Body Problem' ushering in a new movie-watching experience..."

"Global filmmakers rave about 'The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)': This is a science fiction masterpiece that can rewrite film history!"

"From Nezha to The Three-Body Problem, Chen Fei has proven with his strength that Chinese films have joined the ranks of the world's top films!"

……

The banquet hall was brightly lit and bustling with activity.

As soon as James Cameron saw Chen Fei, he immediately raised his glass to greet him, his eyes full of excitement and anticipation: "Fei, how much do you think this movie will do at the box office?"

Although his voice wasn't loud, it instantly drew the attention of everyone around him.

Whether it was domestic film industry moguls or Hollywood film executives, everyone was eagerly awaiting Chen Fei's answer.

However, Chen Fei took a sip of his drink, smiled mysteriously, and said with complete confidence, "I won't guess. Let's all wait and see if it can break the box office record in film history?"

This statement was like a boulder thrown into a lake, instantly sparking heated discussions among the audience!

Immediately, everyone began speculating about the film's box office potential...

"Ten billion is definitely achievable."

"I think it's definitely over 20 billion. This scene is absolutely worth 20 billion RMB!"

"I never imagined that Chinese-language films would have something like this. How fortunate!"

……

The next morning, after finishing all the follow-up promotional activities, Chen Fei returned to the company without stopping and plunged into the post-production work of the second and third parts of "The Three-Body Problem".

At this time, the publicity surrounding "The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)" at home and abroad has soared to its peak!
Discussions on social media have exceeded 10 billion, and related topics have dominated the trending lists on major platforms around the world.

Pre-sale box office has skyrocketed, breaking multiple records, including the pre-sale record for Chinese-language films and the global pre-sale record for science fiction films.

Tickets for the dome theater at Shanhe Film City are especially hard to come by!
Every day, as soon as the pre-sale slots are released, they are snapped up instantly by fans and viewers.

High-priced scalped tickets have even appeared, demonstrating their immense popularity.

July 5th arrived quietly, and in the early hours of that day, "The Three-Body Problem (Part 7)" officially premiered in theaters worldwide!
It's a pity that "Jurassic World: Rebirth," which was released on July 2, was reduced to less than 5% of screenings due to the strong impact of "The Three-Body Problem (Part 7)," and its box office performance almost stagnated, making it a complete supporting role.

Unsurprisingly, the film received rave reviews from audiences after its release.

"My goodness! Watching The Three-Body Problem in the dome theater felt like being in the universe. The special effects of the three suns soaring into the sky and the Guzheng movement were even more explosive than I imagined. This is what a top-notch science fiction film should be like!"

"As a fan of the book for twenty years, I can say with certainty that the plot of The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) is extremely faithful to the original work!"
Ye Wenjie's storyline, Wang Miao's countdown crisis—every detail is precisely replicated, even more vividly than the original novel. Chen Fei truly understands The Three-Body Problem!

"From the Red Coast Base to the Trisolaran Fleet, the film's pacing is just right. It retains the science fiction core of the original work while making it easy for non-book fans to understand through the ultimate audio-visual effects. Clearly, this is a Chinese science fiction film that can be understood by audiences around the world."

"The Guzheng Operation scene gave me goosebumps! Especially the details of the nano blades cutting through the ship's hull were so realistic. There was no gore, but it was full of power. This level of special effects has surpassed Hollywood, right?"

"What's commendable is that it not only features stunning sci-fi scenes, but also profound reflections on humanity and civilization. Even after I left the theater, I was still savoring the line 'You are insects.' This is definitely the best movie of the year, bar none!"

With its immense popularity and overwhelming screen share, The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) broke box office records on its opening day.

The domestic box office successfully surpassed the previous single-day record of 11.68 billion yuan held by "Detective Chinatown 3", reaching 13.38 billion yuan.

The overseas market was equally unstoppable, with a box office of $1.3 million on its opening day in North America alone, setting a new record for the highest opening day box office for a Chinese-language film overseas!
With the added boost of the summer movie season, the market once again witnessed the frenzy that occurred when "Ne Zha" was released.

The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) has consistently maintained a screen share of over 60% in theaters, attracting a constant stream of viewers who want to see it two or three times.

In just 13 days, The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) successfully broke the 10 billion RMB mark at the domestic box office, breaking the record set by Ne Zha and becoming the fastest Chinese film to reach 10 billion RMB!
Films released at the same time, such as "The Lychee of Chang'an", "The Legend of Luo Xiaohei 2", and "You Can Do It! You Go On", were completely crushed without any distinction. Their combined box office was not even a fraction of the single-day box office of "The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)".

Many other films have also been abruptly withdrawn from release, attempting to postpone their releases further in an effort to avoid catching up with "The Three-Body Problem".

This siphon effect is terrifying; most movies simply couldn't withstand it!

At the same time, the overseas box office of "The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)" was also soaring, directly setting a record for the fastest Chinese film to break $500 million!

As July came to an end and August 1st arrived, an even more shocking piece of news came.

The global box office record of $32.6 billion previously set by Chen Fei himself with "Avengers: Endgame" has been officially broken by "The Three-Body Problem (Part 4)"!
In just 25 days, The Three-Body Problem (Part 1) grossed $35 billion worldwide, equivalent to more than 28 billion yuan!

This is the new box office record set by "The Three-Body Problem (Part 1)"!
Even more astonishing is that the box office legend didn't stop there; it continues to rise, writing even greater cinematic miracles!
