Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 363 Time-Traveling Transformers Drive Gundam Narrative

On June 24, Lao Li hung up the video call with Ah Xin and Da Meiyuan from the presidential suite.

He smiled and walked to the bar, picked up a teacup, and said, "Bingbing has started her roadshow too."

"It's been a long time since she, the big sister, has been busy with film promotion and distribution."

The film (The Martian), starring Liu Yijun, Li Xiaoran, Hao, and others, was released in South Korea.

The core creative team's appeal is really just so-so.

However, the phenomenal fourth season of "Back to the Ming Dynasty" continues to be a hit.

From Hu Ge to Li Qin, Xiao Liu, Zhang Bozhi, and others, they would also help run errands together.

Hu Ge, Alexandra Daddario, and Zhao Liying also made cameo appearances in supporting roles.

Running a roadshow isn't exactly a scam.

The original version of The Martian mentioned the need to seek assistance from Chinese aerospace units.

This version calls for help from US space agencies, urging all of humanity to unite and save lives.

The theme is broad and harmonious.

The supporting and guest roles are also decent, except for Hu Ge and others.

From Risa to Jiang Yiyan, Jin Dong, Zhu Yawen, and others all made appearances.

This movie requires a large and diverse cast.

Whether it's the astronaut team that carries out missions in space or on Mars with the protagonist.

Even after the incident, the film depicts the Chinese aerospace unit.

Teams attempt to rescue and contact the protagonist on Mars.

Then, we tried to contact and communicate with our American counterparts.

There are so many opportunities in blockbuster movies.

Nazha, who didn't go to the film set today and didn't have any scenes of her own, came over and asked with a smile, "How much do you think Mars will ultimately gross at the box office in mainland China?"

"I didn't expect that Lucy 3 would break 42 billion in mainland China, and IMAX theaters are still packed."

"If this continues, will it contribute another one or two hundred million, just like Avatar?"

The mainland's revenue exceeded 42 billion RMB, while Hong Kong's revenue exceeded 3 million RMB.

The total value of goods sold in South Korea, Omega, Egypt, Brazil, and other regions has exceeded $5 million.

Their performance of reaching 80 billion RMB globally is simply insane.

As the only female lead in Super 3, Nazha felt that her seven and a half years of hard work had been well worth it.

The performance of this blockbuster is even greater than that of Li Qin's 80-episode series (Back to Ming Dynasty).

And it's much bigger.

Liu Shishi laughed foolishly while playing with the elephant, "It's a good thing I didn't snatch it, otherwise the role of the secret in Superbody 4 would have been mine."

They were the lackeys of Quan Zhixian, a major supporting character in the first season.

If you simply replaced Yang Mi's character setting and development with hers, it wouldn't feel out of place at all.

Old Li chuckled, ruffled Xiao Liu's high ponytail, and said with a smile, "If you want to act in Super 5..."

"Or he could appear again in Xiao Tong's expanded series of fishmen and water women."

"As for Mars, if it's a minor hit in mainland China, it'll gross 13 billion yuan at the box office, and even if it's a major hit, it won't exceed 17 billion yuan."

It has the added benefit of the original book and the fact that Fan Bingbing directed several seasons of The Voice of China.

Hu Ge and others played supporting roles and did promotional tours.

This performance has fluctuated around 15 billion.

Its box office figures are far lower than those of Lucy 3 and Avatar.

However, the total number of viewers is not inflated.

Of course, (Lucy 3) has now grossed over 42 billion yuan in mainland China, and the total number of viewers is also very high.

Based on an average ticket price of 70 yuan nationwide, this would translate to 6000 million moviegoers in mainland China.

It has already surpassed (John Wick 4) by several million viewers!

The difference in viewership was only a few million, but the box office revenue was more than double.

Fast & Furious 4 has grossed over 21 billion in mainland China, surpassing 3 and breaking 42 billion.

Naza exclaimed happily, "3D IMAX blockbusters are truly exceptional. Even if Super 3 were to be released next summer, Super 4 might not be able to break the record, right?"

This is also true.

This record-breaking achievement is primarily due to the audience's enthusiasm for watching true 3D IMAX movies.

Because Nazha repeatedly criticized fake 3D on Weibo.

It prevented too many viewers from being deceived and wasting their money.

That's why all the anticipation generated since the Avatar era was reflected in Super 3.

During the Super 4 era?
In addition to the groundwork laid by Super 3, there are also Hugo, Life of Pi, and other fantasy adventures coming one after another.

Once audiences and moviegoers have seen too much 3D, the special appeal won't be as strong.

The data will naturally be there.

Old Li took another sip of tea. "The Super 4 won't be too bad, but if it can't break the Super 3 record..."

"So, we hope that ticket prices won't skyrocket again in the next few years."

"Super 3 might hold the top spot in total box office for about three years."

Just like the original Avatar set a record of 13.5 billion RMB in mainland China.

It held for four years before being broken by Transformers 4 in 2014 with $19.75 billion.

But in 2015, the year that followed, Lost in Hong Kong grossed 16.12 billion and Monster Hunt grossed 24.36 billion.

They easily reclaimed the big data belonging to Chinese blockbusters.

The price of one of the movie tickets did not increase.

When discussing ticket prices, is it a fraction of what Lost in Hong Kong, Monster Hunt, or Avatar?

It's similar to Transformers 4.

If we calculate it, "Monster Hunt" also had 6500 million viewers, slightly more than "Lucy 3".

The only problem is that a terrible movie like Monster Hunt achieved such amazing results.

That's a bit too bizarre.

You're saying Lost in Hong Kong is also terrible? At least Lost in Hong Kong has the added appeal of nostalgia from Lost on Journey and Lost in Thailand.

Naza is going to be queen this time, and she should be able to dominate for two or three years without much trouble.

This is well-deserved, unlike movies like "Full of Green" or "Weight Loss Movies" which raise questions.

Upon hearing this, Nazha was pleasantly surprised and hugged Lao Li for a few more minutes to practice kissing scenes. She happily said, "Boss, Universal Pictures has sent me a contract, wanting to invite me to star in the new version of (Jurassic Park)."

"She is the female lead."

"If your business dealings with Judas and Onsa remain so stable and risk-free when filming begins, should I seriously consider it?"

Old Li continued to reassure Liu Shishi, who had a high ponytail, with a smile, "We can consider it, we'll see."

Jurassic Park series?
The original Jurassic World shocked the world in 2015.

Michael, the screenwriter of the Jurassic Park trilogy, had been planning it before his death in 2008.

The two writers of Rise of the Planet of the Apes took over after the one who died of illness.

We are still in the scriptwriting stage.

The performance was also decent, with 14.2 billion RMB in China equaling 2.28 million USD.

Globally, 16.7 billion US dollars is equivalent to 103 billion RMB.

It has a great reputation as a top-quality popcorn brand.

Naza's acting skills have been stuck at 69/100 for a few years, but she should be able to reach 70+ in another two or three years.

Furthermore, if she immerses herself in the script for a year or two in advance, she can still deliver an excellent performance, befitting a pretty face.

A blockbuster film can gross tens of billions of RMB worldwide.

This kind of flatbread is pretty good.

Of course, it depends on the situation.

In case Nazha is filming the Lucy series or Lucy derivative projects at that time.

Or perhaps join Avengers 2.

It doesn't matter if I don't perform.

More than two hours later.

Mao Xiaotong came to take over, and after several rounds of discussion, Lao Li finally sat down behind his desk to continue his research and development.

This time, I'm spending my vacation in Tokyo.

He can easily wander around this metropolis late at night, running around and having fun as he pleases.

This is after Yang Mi and Mao Xiaotong's health also reached a high level (99/100).

They are masters of physical strength and energy, and can work during the day and go out to play at night without any impact.

……

August 6th is Qixi Festival (Chinese Valentine's Day).

Old Li's flight arrived in Beijing, the capital of mainland China.

Today, Beijing is filled with a festive atmosphere.

The second installment of the patriotic blockbuster series, primarily invested in by China Film Group, was released nationwide yesterday. This comes as the summer movie season enters its later stages.

(Lucy 3) continues to contribute its glory in 3D IMAX.

The Martian, which has been in theaters for more than a month, has generated 13.27 billion yuan in revenue in mainland China.

The next one, (The Hunger Games), has now grossed over 900 million.

Hollywood brought in films like Fast & Furious 5 and Pirates of the Caribbean 4.

The box office performance was passable, and reaching 300-500 million yuan shouldn't be difficult.

However, it couldn't generate much momentum due to the suppression of Chinese-language blockbusters.

Old Li's return brought together Fat Bing, Ah Xin, and Da Meiyuan, among others.

He has rediscovered the spirit of serving the people that made him the world's richest Chinese.

They would occasionally spend a couple of days in Tokyo during the two months from June to August.

But it will only last two or three days at most.

Besides promoting (The Martian), Fan Bingbing is also very busy with the filming and production of The Voice of China.

Once she gets busy directing, things become much easier.

Ah Xin and Da Meiyuan could only sit at headquarters and control the overall development of the media group.

Da Meiyuan is also the owner of two five-star hotels in Beijing and Shanghai, which are her side businesses.

The management and operation have been passable in recent years, at least not losing money.

This also requires her to go for runs and check things out regularly.

And incidentally, improve her management skills.

……

On August 12, Lao Li arrived at the headquarters of Qianli.

When Lei Zi was about to upgrade the Qianli robot further, he greeted San Yan with a smile, "President Li, there have been orders for two or three hundred units for the Tiangong Medical Care 2.1 version."

"It's basically $12 billion in revenue."

"Our department has been established for seven years, and we're finally seeing a return on our investment."

"Should we still hide the drone and robot dog toys?"

Old Li thought for a moment and nodded, "Drones don't need to be hidden; they can be sold on the market."

"This time I came back not only to upgrade the Tiangong 3 series robots, but also to consider developing the Bumblebee and Optimus Prime series with AI assistant control and driving."

"It's 2011 now, and we're aiming to produce a finished Bumblebee by 2015."

Lei Zi, who was smiling and smoking, suddenly collapsed to one knee.

Lei Zi knelt on one knee in a daze, took another deep drag on his cigarette, threw it down, stood up, and stomped it out.

He asked in surprise, "The Bumblebee supercar from Transformers?"

Old Li nodded, "I've already invested in Tesla, and we've made significant progress in battery technology."

"A brand-new electric energy source combined with AI driving, along with the transformation series and Gundam narrative."

"Just help me arrange a dinner with the expert team."

"It's definitely impossible to directly compare it to Bumblebee from Transformers 1."

"But the first version can travel at a speed of 100 to 200 kilometers per hour for three hours, all automatically."

"When switching between car mode and Gundam mode, it should not cause damage to the driver and passenger, and ideally it should also be bulletproof."

"Whether or not to integrate the Type 92 or Type 95 industrial technology is still uncertain for the time being."

Lei Zi opened his mouth, silently lit another cigarette, and turned to leave.

He was speechless.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

2015? Can it be done in four years?

Lei Zi served as CEO for 7 years, focusing on current drone, robot dog, and robot products.

He remained speechless.

……

It was a little after 8 a.m. on August 15.

Suitable for bathing and treating illnesses.

Zhang Xinyu and Dilraba continued playing mobile games in the private elevator room of Zone D on the first basement floor of the Media Headquarters Building.

While playing, she was filled with anticipation, saying, "I heard that my senior has been having more dinner parties lately."

"Dilraba, you're almost a junior in college, how's your acting improving?"

"If your acting and dialogue are still so bad, I'd be too embarrassed to take you along if I had the chance."

Dilraba chuckled while playing the mobile version of the "Heroes of the Past and Present" card game, saying, "I don't care, I'll take it slow. Sister Zha's example is too amazing."

"Within two or three years, there is a good chance that it will dominate the top spot on the all-time Chinese film charts."

"If I can work for nine years and get one of these, I'll be satisfied for the rest of my life."

Dilraba still has a bit part role to this day.

He appeared alongside Gulnazar in "Let the Bullets Fly" and "John Wick 4".

In (Lucy 3), she had a minor role lasting only a few dozen seconds, playing the younger sister of Gulnazar's character.

A minor role is a minor role!

Her extra roles combined are equivalent to over 100 billion RMB in global box office revenue.

Even considering only China, it amounts to eight or nine billion RMB.

With such an amazing and capable leader like Sister Zha leading the way, they often blocked the door.

She occasionally earned Old Li's respect a few times.

She also felt that she had a chance to win without lifting a finger in this lifetime.

You're talking about wealth? Dilraba still only earns 2000 yuan a month, and she doesn't spend any money on food, drink, housing, or transportation.

I'm just an ordinary poor person.

This is far less than what Zhang Xinyu earns from a single advertising endorsement each year.

The problem is that as long as you can get to the top, even the top secretary has a Tesla 2%.

While continuing to complete daily tasks in the game, Dilraba excitedly said, "I heard that some Jewish tycoons invited my senior to play cryptocurrency trading games."

"My senior brother refused."

"When Sister Zha and Sister Mi were filming in Tokyo, the old lady Judas offered them tens of thousands of Bitcoins, but they refused."

"As a result, Bitcoin rose to a high of $32 in June, which is equivalent to 206 yuan per coin."

"It's all virtual currency. You can even speculate on this? It's even more of a rip-off than the stock market."

These are her daily online and WeChat chats with Gulnazar while she was in mainland China.

Then, during a casual chat after Gulnazar returned from filming "Lucy 4," I learned a lot.

It's amazing that cryptocurrencies can be used in this way.

In January of this year, one Bitcoin was worth $0.30, and by June, that's a 106-fold increase.

Zhang Xinyu almost drooled when she heard this, and exclaimed, "My senior sister raised 2 million US dollars after the financial crisis and bought up Apple products at rock-bottom prices."

"Now her $2 million has become $8.5 million."

"When the Apple 4s is launched in China and the US in October, the price will probably rise again."

Even if she is a moderately wealthy woman.

Compared to those older women, I still feel so envious.

Liu Shishi bought Apple shares at a low price in February 2009.

Two and a half years later, the total market value has increased from $810 billion to $3463 billion.

She felt that Lao Li was now a living embodiment of wealth known worldwide.

The two were chatting and playing games when they suddenly heard the sound of a car engine.

Xiao Zhang and Reba quickly got up and soon saw Ah Xin as their driver.

They arrived at the parking area in Lao Li's car.

Two tall, scantily clad women ran up to Old Li as he got off the bus.

Old Li said speechlessly, "You guys have really impressive perseverance."

Xiao Zhang smiled sweetly, "Senior brother, you didn't drink at the dinner party?"

She didn't notice the smell of alcohol.

A slight bend in the waist reveals the beautiful scenery of the baby cafeteria and other magnificent landscapes, allowing Old Li to see everything clearly in his pretty dress.

Not to mention Zhang Xinyu, Dilraba also witnessed Lao Li's growing respect for them once again.

Li Jiaxin almost burst out laughing, "Fatty Di, you've put in one-tenth the effort you did when you were waiting for A-Yu to learn acting. You could have easily been a pretty face in a TV series by now."

Dilraba will start her junior year at Beijing Film Academy after the summer break.

However, she was found by Gulnazar in September 2007 and asked to receive one-on-one instruction from a teacher.

This is equivalent to completing four academic years of undergraduate study.

Xiao Zhang hurriedly took out a bottle of Wahaha AD calcium milk from his small bag. "Senior, even though you didn't drink alcohol, you must have been thirsty talking to the scientists about research and development."

After saying that, she took a sip of AD calcium milk.
