This star is going to the moon

Chapter 132 is a huge hit, opening the door to domestic science fiction movies!

The Spring Festival movie scores are out. Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy" only scored 6.3 points?

[Fuck, what kind of King of Comedy is this? It made me so embarrassed. This score needs to be lowered. 5 is about right!]

"Crazy Alien" is also incredibly awkward. They're really making fun of the aliens and the audience. The whole movie is awkward and tacky. 7.1 is definitely too high, but there's room for improvement!

[Ah, I'm still waiting for the ratings to come out before going to see the movie. Are all the movies in this Spring Festival period so bad?]

"Speeding Life" is not bad, with an opening score of 7.4, which is pretty average. Anyway, I feel it's around 7 points.

[Has anyone seen "The Wandering Earth"? If you haven't, go watch it now! It's amazing! It's rated 8.8!]

[I watched it too, I watched it too. The one-shot sequence at the beginning, from the giant transport vehicle to the space station, was amazing!]

Yes, yes, that scene is so beautiful. The Earth is pushed away by so many engines, and the long tail is a lingering memory of the solar system.

[Ro Yun's acting is so good, he completely brought out the hero's energy. It almost felt like he was the real Liu Qi. I cried my eyes out when Grandpa died.]

Those who hate Wu Jing can watch "The Wandering Earth," where Wu Jing was blown to death.

[Ah, really? I have to go check it out!]

【…】

Ultimately, movies need audiences to watch them, and there must be audiences in the cinema.

No matter how good the early publicity is, once more viewers watch it, word of mouth will naturally come out, and then the rest is word of mouth from the audience.

Of course, if a movie is said to cost hundreds of millions of dollars, but most of the money is spent on publicity and promotion, that’s another matter.

After the movie scores were released, the production team of "The Wandering Earth" breathed a sigh of relief. 8.8 is definitely a very high score.

Even though the score will definitely drop later, it should not fall below 8 points.

Guo Fan's mentality also calmed down, and he began to discuss the box office issue with Gong Geer.

"At the current rate of growth, 3.5 million on the first day will definitely be a no-brainer. We might even reach 4 million!"

Gong Ge'er looked at the real-time box office data and said, "The box office growth is slower than that of 'Alien,' but it's basically on par with them. It has slightly more screenings than us, so I estimate it will also take in over 4 million yuan on its first day."

Guo Fan nodded, then sighed, "The Spring Festival movie season is always dominated by comedies. 'Alien' has the blessing of two big comedy stars, Huang Bo and Shen Teng. Even so, our little broken ball can keep up with it. It's really... all thanks to Brother Jing and Lu Yun."

Gong Ge'er nodded. "Indeed, we don't have an advantage in terms of subject matter. Fortunately, Brother Jing and Lu Yun are both well-known, and they've collaborated on a film that grossed 58 billion yuan before. Their collaboration in our film will be quite a buzzword."

"Then there's Rowoon's own 'science fiction' vibe. Compared to other celebrities in the entertainment industry, Rowoon himself is very sci-fi! His fame has greatly benefited sci-fi movies!"

The two of them marveled at Lu Yun's awesomeness, and then began to estimate the possible box office of "The Wandering Earth". Guo Fan had even begun to consider how to use the revenue to shoot the second film.

If the income is really very high, then what will the second movie be like!
"It seems our previous estimate of 30 billion was indeed conservative. Maybe it will reach 40 billion like "Alien"!"

"No, no, no. The previous estimate for Crazy Alien was 30 billion to 40 billion, and that was based on its good reputation. But its reputation is not so good now. If the final box office can reach 30 billion, it will be good."

"Indeed, if that's the case, then 'The New King of Comedy' will have a worse reputation. Perhaps it will be scheduled for release, and then absorbed by us. Then, could the box office of 'Little Broken Ball' possibly reach 45 billion?"

"It's hard to say, it's really hard to say, just... let's see."

Guo Fan thought of Lu Yun's prediction.

50 billion, is it possible?

………………

"Possibly, very likely, and 50 billion is not the limit!"

Lu Yun said to An Fangfei on the other end of the phone.

An Fangfei watched "The Wandering Earth" as soon as possible on Chinese New Year's Day, even booking several screenings to show her support. She also posted a Weibo post urging her fans to watch it. After all, she played a role in it, and she was Lu Yun's mother!
Haha!

She was also very shocked after watching it. She didn't expect that a domestic science fiction film could achieve this level, so she excitedly asked Lu Yun how much the box office could reach.

"Five billion isn't the limit. Can we still surpass 'Wolf Warrior 50' and take the top spot at the box office?"

This question stumped Lu Yun.

The quality of this version of "The Wandering Earth" has been greatly improved compared to the previous one, one reason being his participation in the performance.

His acting skills are much better than the male protagonist in the previous life, and he also changed some things within the script that made the audience uncomfortable, such as changing "old thing" to "old man" and the sister's final speech.

Another thing is that Wu Jingduo invested 2000 million yuan, which made the special effects of the movie much better than in the previous life.

In addition, the film has 9% more screenings at the beginning than in the previous life, which has increased the first-day box office from 1.9 million in the previous life to a possible 4 million in this life, which means that the box office of this life will be a big hit.

The previous version of "The Wandering Earth" managed to get a box office of 46 billion despite a difficult start. This time, it will definitely be able to easily break 50 billion, but it is hard to say whether it can surpass the 58 billion box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" which has also grown in this life.

After all, if "The Wandering Earth" wants to surpass it and become the number one in domestic film history, it will have to aim for 60 billion.

要知道上一世国内的票房第一长期是57亿多的《长津湖》，都不如这一世58亿的《战狼2》，60亿的门槛……那是《哪吒2》破的纪录。

Although it was broken by hand.

So Lu Yun said, "It's hard to say. I feel 55 billion should be about right. As for whether it can go higher, we'll have to see how the box office performs in the next few days..."

Soon, the box office for the first day of the Spring Festival came out. "Crazy Alien" was 4.1 million yuan, "The Wandering Earth" was over 4 million yuan, "Speeding Life" was 3.2 million yuan, and "The New King of Comedy" was 2.7 million yuan.

The rest are in the tens of millions.

第二天，别看《疯狂的外星人》的评分从7.1降到了6.8不怎么样，但是排片却从20%涨到22%，相反评分比它稍微好点的《飞驰人生》排片却从20%降到了18%。

As for "The New King of Comedy", it was even worse. The screening rate was directly reduced from 18% to 14%, causing the screening rate of "The Wandering Earth" to increase from 20% to 24%!

So based on this, the daily box office of other movies fell normally the next day.

For example, the 2.8 million for "Crazy Alien" and the 1.9 million for "Speeding Life" are normal declines, and they retained more than half of the box office.

"The New King of Comedy" fell to just over 9000 million, one-third of the first day's revenue.

But compared with them, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" fell back and directly rose to 4.7 million!
On the third day, the screening schedules of "Crazy Alien" and "Speeding Life" remained unchanged, but the daily box office dropped by tens of millions.

"The New King of Comedy" was in a bad situation, losing another 3% of its screenings.

However, the screening schedule of "The Wandering Earth" did not increase by only 3%, but increased by 5% to 29%.

Because movies like "Detective Pu Songling" also had their screenings postponed, part of the time was given to "Boonie Bears" and part to "The Wandering Earth".

So on the third day, the daily box office of "The Wandering Earth" fell again, reaching a terrifying 5.5 million!
The box office in three days was over 14 billion!

Netizens exclaimed: "It's a successful domestic science fiction blockbuster!"

"The Wandering Earth has opened the door to domestic science fiction films!"

"More than that, 'The Wandering Earth' opens the door to domestic heavy industry science fiction blockbusters!"

"Yes, yes, indeed. Actually, 'Crazy Alien' can be considered a kind of science fiction film, but its presentation is so awkward. It reminds me of the ancient rural science fiction film 'Robots,' where the humanoid robots pull plows to help the villagers till the land."

"The domestic science fiction film has finally been made. What will be the next science fiction film?"

"I know, I know, it's 'The Fortress of the Demon City', played by our brother Lu Han!"
