This top guy is crazy!

Beijing, 9:00 AM.

Inside a Vance Cinema in the city center, a short queue formed at the ticket machine, and the sweet aroma of popcorn filled the air.

Many people have already collected their tickets and bought snacks, and are waiting to enter and have their tickets checked.

Some people came alone, some came with friends, and some came with their wives and children; the entire waiting area was noisy.

The first screening ended at 11:30 a.m.

The heavy soundproof door was pushed open, and the first group of moviegoers poured out.

The expressions on their faces were a mixture of extreme shock and a strong desire to share with others.

"Holy crap!!" one of the guys couldn't help but swear as he came out, gesturing excitedly to his friends, "This is absolutely amazing! This is what a blockbuster should be like!"

His friend said:

"It's absolutely amazing, the action scenes are fantastic! Especially the car chase scene with Wang Hong, that's the real purpose of IMAX! This is the kind of movie that deserves to be in IMAX!"

"Frog Bro is awesome!"

On the other side, several girls who had come together were also chattering away:

"Wang Hong is so beautiful!!"

"Purely beautiful, absolutely gorgeous! So cool and fierce!"

"The best part is that it's action from beginning to end, the characters are intelligent, their fighting power is off the charts, and there isn't a single stupid romantic subplot to pad the story. Other directors in the Chinese entertainment industry should really learn from this!!"

There was also a father who brought his daughter to the movies.

A father with his son, who is around 10 years old (looking troubled):

The daughter asked, "Daddy, what happened to that woman in the end? Why did she disappear? Was she the biggest hero?"

The father wiped his sweat: "Well, uh, she eventually became a god, you know? Like the Western God. Never mind, honey, let's go get some ice cream..."

His inner monologue: This movie is really not suitable for children!

During several bloody scenes, he even covered his daughter's eyes.

Fortunately, aside from that, my daughter still thoroughly enjoyed the special effects and the scenes of "fighting bad guys."

At the same time, around the world, many viewers left the cinemas.

Outside an AMC theater in Xinxiang, Serbia:
"Holy crap! That's insane! Lucy's the coolest!"

"I'm going to rave about this on Twitter and encourage everyone to watch it!"

Neon lights, Edo-era style, Shibuya cinema lobby:

"Lucy is so cool!"

"The production quality is superb! Cheng Chengjun never disappoints us!"

ODEON Cinema, Leicester Square, England:

"The special effects are simply unbelievable!!"

"It's cool, but I need to watch it again to fully understand the plot."

France, Paris, Champs-Élysées UGC Cinema:

"Incredible! Magnificent and mesmerizing!"

"I think this has completely surpassed Hollywood movies."

"I love the female lead, I love this Eastern woman, she's so beautiful!"

Viewers of *Lucy* became enthusiastic advocates, enthusiastically recommending it on Weibo, Douyin, WeChat Moments, Twitter, film review websites, and other major social media platforms. Domestically, on Weibo:
"The movie was even better than I expected! Quantum mechanics, consciousness development, spacetime manipulation, telekinesis, mind reading and object control... I never thought a sci-fi movie could be made like this!"

"The strongest female protagonist in history - she fought her way from the laboratory to the top of the Alps."

"The special effects in the movie are very hardcore, and the spectacle of transforming into everything and the physical body dissipating at the end is even more astonishing. I feel that the release of 'Lucy' fills the gap in Chinese philosophical science fiction films, which means that Chinese filmmakers can not only make hardcore heavy industry films, but also play with the most cutting-edge metaphysics!!"

"It's a very exciting and enjoyable film, full of visual spectacles, but it ultimately focuses on the core philosophy of the East. It's a film worth watching two or three times."

"The first truly Chinese-language masterpiece to explore ultimate philosophical questions using a science fiction framework! The narrative pacing, scientific setting, gore, visual creativity, emotional impact, and intellectual depth are all skillfully executed, perfectly embodying the principle of 'using the most commercial methods to explain the most metaphysical truths'!"

"The key is that you really can't refute the theoretical basis here, because quantum mechanics itself is full of conceptual problems and contradictions."

"You have to see it in the cinema, it's so exciting! It reminds me of a saying: 'See yourself, see the world, see all living beings; if you hear the truth in the morning, you can die content in the evening.'"

"Incredibly cool, domineering, and awesome!"

"I watched the last 30 minutes on my knees. Several scenes gave me a mental orgasm. I haven't seen such a great movie in a long time."

"Wang Hong is perfect for this movie! She has a great figure and is beautiful! I'm totally drooling over her!"

"May Cheng Cheng rule the martial world for eternity!"

After midnight, the global box office figures for "Lucy" seemed to be injected with CPH4, and began to grow at an explosive rate.

Especially in China, all IMAX screenings are fully booked, and tickets for the next three days are extremely difficult to obtain.

The cinema manager was almost in tears. "Waaah, Cheng Cheng is here to save the market again! What a miserable time we've been through before!"
Meanwhile, "Lucy" has already achieved a 77% screening rate in China, leaving the remaining six films—two patriotic films, two animated films, one comedy, and one family drama—to share the remaining 23% of screenings. This has left the creative teams of these films feeling utterly helpless.

They thought it would be terrible to be in the same class as Cheng Cheng, but they never expected it to be this bad!

They were so miserable they couldn't breathe!

Meanwhile, good news kept pouring in from the Americas, Europe, and other parts of Asia, with box office figures soaring across the board.

Topics such as "Wang Hong's action scenes" and "Wang Hong, the goddess of the East" have swept across global social media platforms.

Screenshots of her from the movie were widely shared and imitated.

Late at night, preliminary box office statistics for the first day were released.

Lucy's domestic box office: 6.1 million RMB!

Japanese box office: 1.1 million RMB.

Peninsula Box Office: 0.8 million RMB.

Total for Southeast Asian countries: 2.2 million RMB.

When this number was released, everyone went crazy! And when the box office statistics for Europe and the Americas came out during the day, the frenzy reached another level.

Total box office revenue across Europe: 5 million RMB.

Total box office revenue for Serbia and Canada: 7 million RMB.

Total for other regions: 3 million RMB.

In total, Lucy's opening day box office reached 24 billion RMB, just as everyone had predicted.
Another film that could break box office records has been born!
In the following days, "Lucy" broke box office records every day. The total box office on the second day was 27 billion, and the total box office on the third day was 30 billion. In just three days, "Lucy" had already reached a total box office of 81 billion.

On October 5, Cheng Cheng and Wang Hong returned to China by plane.

These past few days, they've been touring the world, meeting with fans everywhere, and today they're finally back.

Wang Hong wore sunglasses and had fiery red lips.

She stepped off the plane, her heart burning with excitement:

I'm finally back! This time, I'm going to take back everything that's rightfully mine! (End of Chapter)
