On Saturday and Sunday, April 29, the first day of the May Day holiday, many people chose to travel by car and were stuck in the road. But there are also many audiences who queue up in the theater to watch "The Wandering Earth".

The film became popular, and under the intensive reports of many hardcore publicity before the screening, especially the intensive reports that foreigners said were good, many viewers felt that this film was raising the face for Chinese, and aroused interest in watching the movie.

The movie theaters in the mature business districts of most cities in China are almost full on this day, with long queues and crowds, and the scene is like the Spring Festival. Ticket offices, restrooms, ticket gates, and crowds of people lined up everywhere.

A young woman holding popcorn also said to her husband: "Hey, I was thinking about going out to play when there were many people on May Day, so as not to queue up everywhere, and there are so many people watching a movie at home honestly!"

The husband next to her said: "I read it on the Internet and said that foreign countries have a very good evaluation of this film, which is higher than Lu Lin's previous works!"

The young woman wondered: "Didn't Lu Lin's "Three-Body Problem" win the Oscar? "Earth" can be better than "Three-Body Problem"?"

The latter said: "It's different, "Three-Body Problem" is good, the special effects and themes are quite shocking, but the things talked about are too far away from us." "The Wandering Earth" is quite down-to-earth according to the Internet, and I don't know if it's true, or if it's a good review from the water army!"

"Who knows, the tickets are all bought anyway, let's watch it first!"

On this day, the most discussed words among theater audiences are the wandering earth. On the box office side, it is naturally a new high.

In terms of zero point field, "The Wandering Earth" reported 47 million, lower than the 55 million of "Fast and Furious 8", which landed in theaters half a month ago. But in terms of the daily box office, it is far exceeded.

On the 29th, the daytime show won a total of 4.1 billion yuan, not only surpassing the 8.7 billion on the first day of "Furious Eight", but also surpassing its single-day highest box office record of 42.7 billion.

If you add the zero point show, it won a total of 47.8 billion yuan at the box office on the 29th, temporarily ranking first in mainland film history.

After counting the previous screening income, the cumulative box office of "The Wandering Earth" exceeded 500 million in just one day after its release, which really made the bosses of other film companies tingle.

It's only been 500 million on the first day, and the reputation is still good, how much does the total box office have to do?

Not to mention the simultaneous global distribution of the film, which has landed in commercial theaters on a large scale in Europe, America, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, the global box office must not exceed one billion US dollars!

The most terrible thing is that this film was filmed by a rookie director like Guo Fan. If you want to say that it is Lu Lin's work, everyone is accustomed to it, the best commercial film director in China.

This Guo Fan is a post-80s generation, and he cooperated with Gao Xiaosong to shoot "You at the Same Table", youth film directors, can shoot "The Wandering Earth" well, and can have such a high box office, which shows that the theme of science fiction is worth developing!

For a time, China Film, which held "Supernova Era" and "Micro Era", and Ning Hao, who held the copyright of "Country Teacher", have become the objects of pursuit by major film companies and capital.

But there are also difficulties on the side of China Film, "Supernova Era" talks about the earth suffering from supernova radiation, a large number of adults dying, and a group of children controlling the world and killing each other.

And "Micro Era" says that the earthlings foresee that after more than 10,000 years, human civilization will be destroyed by an explosion of the sun.

After two hundred years of decadence, humanity launched an Ark spacecraft into the depths of the universe to find a planet suitable for survival.

The Ark has explored more than sixty galaxies to no avail, and it has been 25,000 years since it returned to Earth. The last "pioneer" came back and found that because a genius genetic engineer modified the human gene, the human race had shrunk to about ten microns and turned into a new species, the microhuman.

Microhuman beings have forged refuge deep underground, survived the difficult times of the earth with their negligible resources, and re-bred the splendid ...... of human civilization.

In other words, this brain hole is quite strange, a bit similar to "Planet of the Apes". But there is no suitable director and screenwriter on the side of China Film, and the script of "Micro Era" has never been adapted to be satisfactory.

However, Ning Hao, who holds the copyright of "The Country Teacher", came up with a script called "Crazy Alien", which is already in the preparation period and is about to start.

Wenting is adapted from Liu Cixin's "Country Teacher", which attracted the attention of many film companies and investors for a while.

However, the copyright of "Country Teacher" was resold to Ning Hao by Longlin Pictures, and the two parties also agreed that Longlin Pictures would participate in the production and distribution of the film.

And Ning Hao's Bad Houzi Pictures has limited strength, and he must find a film company at the level of Long Lin, Bo Na, Guang Xian, and Wan Da to do distribution, so Ning Hao called Lu Lin and asked him to talk together.

In a box at Donglaishun Restaurant in Beijing, Ning Hao, EO of Bad Houzi Pictures, Wang Yibai, Lu Lin, Song Ge, Guo Fan, and Miss Jing Yan, who has not had any work arrangements recently.

Soon after everyone sat down, Ning Hao smiled and said: "Director Guo, your "The Wandering Earth" has a good reputation at the box office, but it can put a lot of pressure on us!"

Guo Fan smiled shyly and said, "Director Ning is polite when he says this, my little achievement, it can put pressure on you!"

Wang Yiyu, who was slightly chubby, said: "Director Guo said this, but he is too modest, with the current box office trend of "The Wandering Earth", I am afraid that it will break the previous domestic box office record!"

Song Ge said with a smile: "A mountain is still higher than a mountain, and it keeps refreshing records, which shows that the Chinese film market is getting better and better!"

Wang Yiyu asked: "Mr. Song, what is your estimated mainland box office?"

Song Ge laughed and said, "This is a lot!"

If you talk to the media, you can blow it too much. The people on this table are all insiders, except for Jing Yan, who bows his head and eats happily, which one is not a human spirit. In front of industry insiders like Ning Hao and Wang Yibai, Song Ge was really embarrassed to say high.

Lu Lin, who had been silent, suddenly said: "If you want me to say, how can you start with four billion!"

In fact, in Lu Lin's prediction, the mainland box office of Long Lin's version of "The Wandering Earth" should be between 4.6 billion and 5 billion.

is mainly the key factors that affect the box office, such as the number of film schedules, the main creative lineup, and the publicity and distribution costs, and the Longlin version is far beyond another time and space. If nothing else, the box office will definitely exceed 4.6 billion. But whether it can exceed 5 billion, Lu Lin is easy to say.

But Ning Hao and Wang Yiyu were stunned when they heard this, four billion, this one really dares to say! How much box office does the mainland film market have a year, you have two more films, and none of us have to play.

But after thinking about it, Longlin Pictures' four blockbusters will be released this year, which is really a lot of pressure!

On the side, Jing Yan suddenly remembered the bet between the three of them. If the two movies are really like what Lu Lin said, "Wolf Warrior 2" broke 5 billion, "The Wandering Earth" broke 4 billion, plus "Lich War" and "Havoc in Heaven", my God, a lot of money!
