Huayu has been doing one good deed a day since 2001

Chapter 378 The New Era of Film and Television and the Automobile Industry
June 7, 2019, was the Dragon Boat Festival.

Old Li took a helicopter back to the headquarters building in Beijing at around 6 p.m.

As soon as he got off the plane, Nazha ran out from the rooftop passageway.

She had a look of smug pride mixed with a hint of glee on her face. "Senior, the summer movie season kicks off around the Dragon Boat Festival."

"Eight years. With the release of The Wandering Earth this time, it should finally be able to dethrone me."

"I've been in first place for eight years without even realizing it. It's quite an experience."

Filming and production wrapped up at the end of April last year.

More than a year has passed since The Wandering Earth was filmed, and it took all the special effects to be completed.

The film is scheduled for release on June 14, and will be screened simultaneously in China, Mexico, South Korea, and Taiwan.

Negotiations with cinema chains in other parts of the world are still ongoing.

Naza is so proud and secretly pleased.

Even today, her leading role in (Lucy 3) still ranks first in the Chinese film box office charts.

Lucy 3 was released in 2011 and grossed 43.8 billion yuan in mainland China.

It has not been broken to this day.

This dimension's film and television industry experienced a boom and explosion of prosperity a generation ahead of schedule.

However, having too many blockbusters can dilute box office revenue and various accolades.

Lucy 3 still holds the top spot in the standings.

There are plenty of other blockbusters that have grossed over 3 billion and are on the verge of grossing 4 billion.

Last year, Avengers: Infinity War, which was also shown in 3D IMAX, grossed 32.85 billion yuan in mainland China.

Even (the richest man in Xihong City) has amassed 31.12 billion yuan in mainland China.

These figures exclude data related to box office manipulation, money laundering, and so on.

Wolf Warrior 2 (2017 and 2018) and Operation Red Sea both grossed 3.6 to 3.7 billion yuan.

The overall data is not as good as the Superbody series.

However, it surpasses that number of moviegoers.

Naza felt she had to step aside before each of her blockbuster films were released.

Once the results were announced, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to flaunt her queenly throne.

Old Li smiled and stamped Nazha's face, "In the past, 2D action blockbusters didn't achieve great results, so it was alright."

"This time, you'll definitely have to step aside in the face of the heavy industrial science fiction of The Wandering Earth."

It doesn't matter.

This title only holds sway over Nazha now.

This summer, The Wandering Earth's biggest rival is a head-on clash with Avengers: Endgame.

The Avengers: Infinity War and Avengers: Endgame are like the two parts of Red Cliff.

It should be said that a complete work was split into two parts.

The filming dates were all close together.

Old Li, along with Nazha, Yang Mi, and Megan, went to Georgia to film Avengers 3.

That was a concentrated period for filming his scenes, so they arrived a few months late.

The fourth installment, a major production, followed the same production process.

Avengers: Endgame will be released in China on July 12.

It gave The Wandering Earth nearly a month to dominate the major box office season.

As Old Li walked downstairs, he smiled and said, "Okay, let's wait until it's released."

"You go out shopping or go home with Dilraba or Xiaotong."

"Drive a Chevrolet Camaro, a Lamborghini Hot Rod, or a two-seater super-sized Iron Man."

Wandering Earth 2 was created to promote and hype the Transformers franchise.

In the early years, Li Wenyu did not consider entering the low-to-mid-end market.

There were several real-world warm-ups.

The problem is not big.

After filming wrapped on The Wandering Earth 1, Guo Fan took a three-month break.

At the end of July 2018, the production of props and countless models for Wandering Earth 2 began.

We hope The Wandering Earth 1 will achieve great success during the summer season.

The second part will follow suit, and in addition to the Jupiter crisis, it will also cover more material.

It will have bigger special effects and grander scenes than the first one.

Naza and a few others occasionally show off their driving skills.

The sensation it creates in reality will be similar to that of "My Dear" back then.

Or (John Wick 4) has to suppress (Avatar).

Like reclaiming the top spot at the box office for Chinese-language films.

The greater the sensational effect.

The higher the box office performance of The Wandering Earth, the greater its potential to become a blockbuster.

Dilraba is still an important supporting actress in "The Wandering Earth," ranking third among the female leads.

Naza was so excited, "Appearing now?"

"I thought we'd have to wait until Wandering Earth 2 started filming or finished filming before we talked about it."

Old Li nodded, "That works too. We can just say it's lab-level and can't be mass-produced."

"It may not be launched on the market for at least three years. This is an intelligent driving system with big AI, which represents a double advancement in both the mechanical and AI industries."

From internet big data to AI research and development, these have long been among the biggest topics in the world.

Bitcoin, a commodity often speculated on, broke through $8000 per coin last month.

If in the earliest period those old men like Judas and Onsa gave Yang Mi and others tens of thousands of bitcoins.

They accepted it; it was worth hundreds of millions of RMB.

Of course, this small amount of money meant nothing to Lao Li.

The next few days.

(The Wandering Earth) has undergone countless promotions, mainly through a massive number of celebrity endorsements.

It's really hard to get a ticket online.

It was incredibly popular as soon as it was released.

The film sold over 3 million yuan in pre-sales in mainland China and easily surpassed 5 million yuan on its opening day.

This includes a large number of high-priced 3D and IMAX tickets.

Of course, in 2023, (Manjianglv) was able to break 4 million on the first day and 12 billion in three days.

(Hot and spicy) It broke 4 million on the first day.

In terms of pure film quality and sci-fi special effects, The Wandering Earth grossed over 5 million yuan in a single day.

They made it through sheer strength.

The first weekend has ended.

The Wandering Earth 1 has grossed over 14 billion yuan in box office revenue in just three days, including pre-sales.

It can be described as the craziest and most phenomenal topic of this summer.

With just over 20 days until the release of Avengers: Endgame, no other major films dare to be released before then.

They were afraid of being suppressed.

Apart from a few lighthearted films occupying a small portion of the screenings, the theaters were dominated by The Wandering Earth.

Is there really such a long theatrical run? The 14 billion yuan box office in just 3 days in mainland China is terrifying.

6 month 17 number.

The discussion surrounding "The Wandering Earth" continues to spread from the Chinese cinema market to the internet.

A new trending topic suddenly appeared and dominated the charts.

Dilraba drove a two-seater Lamborghini Hot Rod to the outside of the Time Media headquarters building.

She got out of the car by herself.

The Lamborghini drove itself into the underground parking lot, only transforming into a hot-blooded robot upon arrival.

The device stops in a standing position and shuts down.

This is a staged photo shoot.

Dilraba's ability to shine as a big-carpet star even without any substantial work is remarkable, and she was beautiful throughout.

But the biggest gimmick is Hot Rod automatically parking his car and transforming.

At first, netizens thought this was a promotional stunt for Transformers 6.

After all, Transformers 6 is currently in production.

It wasn't until a tech expert, or even a major internet celebrity, stepped in and tagged Dilraba's official Weibo account to inquire whether this looked like a special effects shot or a real-life shot.
Dilraba responded that she was helping Time Travel conduct driving experiments.

The internet was bewildered.

The entire internet fell silent, then the entire internet was shocked.

The massive online information surge nearly paralyzed the Weibo platform in a short period of time.

This includes WeChat Time, 360 Community, and Tencent, among others.

One by one, major companies almost couldn't withstand the terrifying surge of data in the following day or two.

The next few days.

Naza and Mao Xiaotong, or Yang Mi, went out shopping.

It also showed off the Bumblebee supercar a few times, and even appeared in the post-credits scene of The Wandering Earth 1.

The research team at the time was working to address the fact that the Earth's surface would become increasingly cold in the coming decades.

Therefore, it is necessary to develop cold-weather or other operational mechs to supply the military. This concept art is shown in the Easter egg.

A giant Iron Man, over two meters tall, with an art style consistent with the Wanderers series.

It can be a two-seater, non-slip, and ice-resistant toy car, or freely switch between its King Kong form!
This is an Easter egg from The Wreck-It Ralph that countless people have seen.

Everyone has just seen it on the big screen.

Are Nazha, Yang Mi, or Mao Xiaotong able to pilot such a mecha on their own?
Fortunately, the places they went to weren't large shopping malls or schools where there were too many people.

Otherwise, it would definitely cause stampedes time and time again.

Countless netizens were dumbfounded.

The Wandering Earth is still a science fiction film, showing us what a science fiction movie is all about.

As a result, many things within this context have already been mass-produced over time. For example, drone warfare.

Then, at the laboratory level, is it already a very mature production process?

There aren't many truly naive and simple-minded netizens these days.

Reba and the others claimed it was a laboratory-level test ride, and that they were just experimenters trying it out.

Test drive the new car.

A combination of Transformers and a super AI?!
The question is, who is Nazha? She's one of the most popular actresses in the country.

Last year, US media also reported that they were the fifth and sixth mistresses of Lao Li from Time Travel.

One after another, these are super-rich women with net worths of billions or even tens of billions.

With this kind of background, why would someone like him become an inexperienced car test driver?
Without sufficient safety and maturity, would Lao Li be willing to let them take such a risk?
Tesla, which has just experienced a surge in sales in China.

Then there are the gradually emerging car brands such as BYD and Li Auto.

Suddenly, it was almost completely ignored.

Tesla and BYD stocks have both experienced a sharp drop in the past few days.

Li Auto hasn't gone public yet? I don't know if that's good news or bad news.

It wasn't until June 22nd, the Saturday of the second week of The Wandering Earth's release.

Naza, representing Lao Li, publicly announced that the car series will feature transformation and AI intelligent driving capabilities.

It's truly in the research and development stage, a laboratory product.

Many of the parts that are now available are handmade, much like how countless geniuses in the last century used abacuses to develop the mushroom egg.

There is no industrialized assembly line equipment in the world that can stably produce the entire industrial chain.

It would be good if we could put together a complete production line within three years.

Moreover, the cost is far beyond what ordinary people can afford.

If sold to the United States, the starting price would be 200 million US dollars per vehicle.

It is still uncertain how much tax the US will impose.

Similar to the medical robots of yesteryear, those given to Chinese hospitals were all donations, part of collaborative experiments.

Omega bought it for $500 million a unit.

As the news spread, countless people exclaimed "Holy crap!" once again.

People felt that what Nazha said was outrageous, but it also seemed very scientific.

How much advanced equipment was used when mushroom eggs were being developed in mainland China in the last century?
How many of them are purely handmade by top-notch craftsmen?

Getting to harvest your first mushroom is one thing, but mass-producing and stockpiling them is another.

When countless people are speechless.

Naza, Dilraba, Mao Xiaotong, and Yang Mi showed off their self-driving car-like performances.

It's not just in China that it's gone viral online.

The Korean and European networks were also easily compromised.

Numerous European and American car manufacturers, including Chevrolet and Lamborghini, were completely dumbfounded and speechless.

When the public learned again that these were all electric vehicles, powered by electric energy.

The oil giants were stunned.

It can actually transform, and it even has purely AI-driven operation.

Anyone with a modicum of common sense knows the relationship between Li Wenyu and Nazha, among others.

Several top actresses in the Chinese-speaking world dared to ride in it.

This basically represents 99% security.

Regardless of how many topics or discussions arise from the outside world.

This show features a transforming car and an Easter egg from The Wandering Earth 1.

It has fueled a global box office explosion.

In the second week in mainland China, the underdog scored another 19 billion RMB, bringing its total to 33 billion RMB.

It's only been ten days.

After Renren Movies opened its rating system, the score immediately soared to a high of 9.3.

The large-scale industrial special effects here are very different from those in the Lucy series and the Detective Dee series.

South Korea and the United States had mediocre performances in their opening weekend.

It's nowhere near as powerful as the Lucy series and John Wick back in the day.

However, the second week saw the release of promotional materials featuring Gulnazar and others impacting the global internet.

These three places also experienced an outbreak.

The island nation earned 20 billion yen in the second week, while the United States earned 6000 million US dollars in the second week.

South Korea also reported HK$1.7 million in revenue for the second week.

This practice of inserting real-world products into science fiction movies to advertise new products?
How common.

Many major computer and mobile phone manufacturers are spending huge sums on advertising for big-budget movies.

However, this was after a period when the (Transformers) live-action movie series had swept the globe.

Hot Rod in Transformers 5 was a show that blew the world away.

That was in 2017, just two years ago.

The real thing was produced in a flash.

Hasbro, from top to bottom, and even its various overseas branches in the United States, was completely stunned.

Even within three years, mass production may not be possible.

The technological gap involved is terrifying.

Summer 2017.

Li Wenyu flew to the United States to showcase the cutting-edge technology of using dozens of robots as bodyguards and assistants.

Two years later, you're showing off your Transformers and Transformers again, huh?

Do we all still live under the same sky?
Originally, it was predicted that a biological virus-related group would strike the world in a few months.

They were also filled with confusion about the birth and release of the real-life Bumblebee and Hot Rod.

Questioning life.

Dr. Li is one of the world's top doctors, a veritable god-level doctor.

Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many top-notch old men who seem to defy aging.

And then there's mechanical ascension?
That's really true at this stage, even if a large number of natural humans suddenly disappear from the world.

The least worried about this are the new technological forces that have achieved mechanical ascension.

December 2019, 7.

The Wandering Earth 1 grossed 12.62 billion yuan in its third week of release in mainland China.

The total data easily surpassed (Lucy 3).

The total revenue reached 45.7 billion RMB.

The island nation's GDP surged past 29 billion yen for the third consecutive week, while the United States saw over 9000 million US dollars in a single week.

This is still brought by Bumblebee, Hot Rod, and the 2-meter-tall single-soldier mech.

The results achieved through a globally phenomenal topic and its enormous real-world impact.

Mainland China's GDP exceeded 45 billion yuan in 17 days!
There are still ten days until the release of Avengers: Endgame.

The Wandering Earth not only ushered in a new era for the mainland Chinese film market.

It also ushered in a new era for the global automotive industry.

The time before the company went public was vast, but in just half a month...

Its valuation, as assessed by magazines such as Forbes, has skyrocketed from $6000 billion.

It easily surpassed one trillion dollars and is heading straight for two trillion dollars.

Apple also broke the $1 trillion market capitalization mark in 2019.

Tesla's market capitalization easily reached 60-70 million dollars due to the early surge from its Shanghai Gigafactory.

But Tesla's stock price has recently plummeted, so what about its future prospects?
This is nothing compared to the vast expanse of time.

Furthermore, Time Travel is still 100% owned and solely controlled by Li Wenyu.

Numerous topics surrounding The Wandering Earth continue to develop and spread.

At nine o'clock on the morning of the 2nd, just as Lao Li was about to take the helicopter out, his secret confidante and Liu Shishi sneaked over and boarded the helicopter together.

The secretary blushed with excitement. "Senior, someone has contacted me."

"Next time I go out, I'll show off my Autobots with my bag and jewelry."

“Using their brand once can earn me 30 to 50 million yuan; influencer marketing is a major trend.”

"But I can spend 30 to 50 million each time I use it, and if I go out a few more times I can find hundreds of millions?"

Anyway, helicopters are piloted by AI, just like the Decepticons.

The big secret is that everyone wants to use their conscience to suck the elephant dry.
