The bright sunshine dispels the night from the land of China, which is a rare good weather in winter. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Lin Han was still in the warm quilt, a little chubby dun climbed onto the bed very skillfully, then lay on top of the quilt and began to lick it with his tongue.

"Chai Chai, don't make trouble!"

After hearing the response, Xiao Fat Dun screamed twice, and then patted Lin Han's face with his paws with meat pads, and then his limbs were forced, and his fat body rose into the air and smashed on Lin Han's chest!

After Lin Han was hit by this bomb, his whole body immediately tightened in his chest, opened his eyes and hugged Chai Chai, "Why are you losing weight and getting heavier?"

This is the result of forgetting to close the bedroom door last night, and it has been trying to come in for the past few days, but unfortunately it can't.

Chai Chai's upbringing and habits are still relatively good, almost not biting the door and sofa, but it is not realistic to expect it to look after the house, as long as there is good food, everything is left behind.

After Chen Jiaxuan felt the noise next to her, her whole body shrank downward, leaving only her hair still outside, and she couldn't see her person at all!

Lin Han got up and took the firewood down, he grabbed a coat and put it on top of his pajamas, he waited too late for the data yesterday, and he got up so late today, it was almost nine o'clock.

Turning on the coffee machine, while waiting for the coffee to be made, he began to search for food in the refrigerator, and his stomach was extremely hungry!

The hot coffee was full of aroma, Lin Han poured the espresso in the coffee pot into the mug, and came to the study on the second floor with bread in one hand and coffee in the other.

Before the release of "The Matrix", he was still a little worried, worried about the box office, worried about word-of-mouth or something, but now after the release of the real movie, he has calmed down!

Everything has become a foregone conclusion, nothing can be changed, only acceptance.

Lin Han picked up the mug and waited for the computer to turn on, and after taking a sip, a warm current rose in his stomach, which made him feel refreshed.

"The exact number for the midnight show is 22.1 million yuan, which is good. It should be the highest number in the Chinese New Year movies over the years, I don't know what happened to North America and Europe!"

North America has always been counted together, while there are too many countries in Europe, and it is quite troublesome to summarize statistics, so data feedback is always slow.

Seeing this kind of news early in the morning, Lin Han felt that he could be happy all day!

Although it was only nine o'clock in the morning, the box office of "The Matrix" on the first day had already come to 47 million yuan, and everyone had just bought the movie tickets for work, and the prime time of some popular theaters even left only the corners and one or two rows in front of them.

After watching the bad movie for so long, a domestic sci-fi blockbuster detonated the enthusiasm for watching the movie, even if many people hesitated to wait and see, they couldn't find the rest of the movies to watch!

When the weekend comes, you have to treat yourself, have dinner with three or five friends, and then go to the cinema after dinner, what a pleasant life it is.

According to this trend, it is almost not a suspense for the box office to break 100 million on the first day, the suspense lies in whether it can break 200 million!

Today's film market capacity is getting bigger and bigger, and there are films that broke 1 billion in the first three days, let alone 200 million or 300 million!

In a sense, "The Matrix" also has such potential, it depends on whether it can be fully realized.

Nearly one million people entered the midnight show, creating a box office of more than 22 million yuan, so many people watched the film, and the reputation of "The Matrix" officially spread among the audience!

……

Chen Zhiqiang couldn't help but yawn when he sat in his place, he looked drowsy, it was already three o'clock in the evening when he went home after watching the movie yesterday, and he got up to work after sleeping for less than five hours, and it was strange to be in good spirits.

Li Lin, a colleague sitting opposite him, took advantage of the leader's absence and asked curiously: "Lao Chen, did you steal someone last night, why are you so depressed?"

"! I went to watch a movie last night, and there were a lot of people at midnight in "The Matrix!" Chen Zhiqiang yawned as he spoke, and tears almost flowed down his eyes.

"You're so good, you actually went to the movies in the middle of the night, no wonder you dozed off. Li Lin gave a thumbs up, "What about the movie, is it suitable for people like me?"

As soon as Chen Zhiqiang talked about the movie, his sleepiness suddenly disappeared, "It's so good-looking! There is no one in the audience who does not praise, and there are too few domestic directors who can make this kind of science fiction film." When I got home at three o'clock at night, I was lying in bed, and my mind was full of the plot and images of the movie, and I couldn't sleep at all. ”

Li Linhu said suspiciously: "Is there really such a god? Don't bluff me, if it's really as good-looking as you say, I'll take my wife with me after work, I haven't gone on a date for a long time." ”

"Why am I lying to you! There is no benefit to take it, anyway, if you want to book a ticket, it is estimated that there will be a lot of people tonight!" Chen Zhiqiang kindly suggested.

"Let's look at the reviews on the Internet. Lao Chen, you help me keep an eye on it, if Mr. Zhou comes over, squeak!"

"I still want you to keep an eye on it for me, I can't even open my eyelids right now!"

Li Lin hurriedly took out the mints in his drawer and threw them to Chen Zhiqiang, this is what he used to quit smoking, he has always kept it, the taste is very strong, and the awakening effect is very good.

After Chen Zhiqiang peeled off the candy paper, the mint breath raged in his nasal cavity, and he said to Li Lin: "Then you have to hurry up, I still want to rest for a while, otherwise I will have to soak in the soup in the afternoon." ”

Li Lin had already opened the browser of the computer at this time, and directly started to search for "The Matrix", but this search made him a little surprised!

Because many movie critics and netizens are talking about the philosophy in The Matrix, the main question is whether My World is real or virtual.

He was a little reluctant when he saw this, philosophy or anything is not his cup of tea at all, who has nothing to do to go to the cinema to watch this kind of movie that requires slow thinking!

But when he saw the comments of netizens, he found that the focus of this group of people was that the actors were so handsome, the fights were so cool, and the special effects were so awesome.

As the saying goes, the layman looks at the liveliness, and the insiders look at the doorway.

Li Lin, as an ordinary person, of course hopes to see everything that netizens say!

He clicked on a post and found that netizens were almost exactly the same as what his colleague Chen Zhiqiang said.

"I'm going to complain about the movie theater, I really want to watch it again after watching the midnight show, but there is no show! Why isn't it available 24 hours a day, I have to come back at half past nine in the morning, bad reviews!"

"The audience is going crazy, sci-fi films of similar quality are all Hollywood, and this time they are actually domestic!"

"I never knew that a sci-fi movie could be so cool, I announced that I became a fan of Chu Guang, he is so handsome!"

"Did you see the bullet time, it was so awesome that it exploded! It's a pity that it's only three seconds, so I want to save this picture." ”

"Did the people who said the movie was bad really go to the movie? There is no other possibility than being stupid!"

"This is a science fiction masterpiece with rich philosophy, the fight scenes are not the same as what we are used to, but the viewing is higher, and the shots of Neo dodging bullets will surely become a classic!"

"An epoch-making work, Mr. Lin has done a great job. As the original party, I want to cry blindly, whether it is the content of the story or the expression of the movie, it is very outstanding. And as a commercial science fiction film, it contains philosophical thinking, bringing a double impact of vision and soul! Now I am looking forward to the second movie, who knows when "The Matrix 2" will be released?"

"If the latter two can maintain the same quality, then Lin Han can be a god in the film industry!"

"Hahahaha, am I the only one who combines 'The Matrix' with 'Inception'? Both novels are about the real and the false (dreams), and I'd love to see what 'Inception' is all about. ”

There are almost no bad reviews, every evaluation is a recognition of this movie, and even the brainless Weibo has only a few people who are singing the opposite.

After Li Lin read these comments, he turned his head, and as a result, he was almost scared out of his heart attack!

"Don't worry, I haven't finished reading it yet!"

"Zhou, Mr. Zhou......" Li Lin's voice was trembling, he openly fished to see these things during work, and was discovered by the leader, it was a pill!

After Zhou Peng straightened up, he patted Li Lin on the shoulder, "This should be a good movie, Ming'er will take my son to see it, he likes science fiction the most." If you don't take it as an example, if you are caught by me, your salary will be deducted. ”

Li Lin nodded again and again: "No, just this time, there will be no next time!"

"That's good. Zhou Peng was about to leave, but when his attention was taken away from Li Lin, he found that his other employee, Chen Zhiqiang, had fallen asleep with his hands propped on the desk!

Dead friends are not dead and poor, Chen Zhiqiang, who was dozing, and Li Lin, who was fishing at work, were both scolded for being bloody.

……

The box office of "The Matrix" soared to 90,000 miles just like its word-of-mouth, and it barely stopped for more, and at more than 4 o'clock in the afternoon, the box office on the first day exceeded 100 million yuan!

At this time, it is not the peak period, everyone is looking forward to its breakthrough more and more, and "The Matrix" did not disappoint those who like it, when the evening rush hour came, the box office soared every half an hour, and successfully exceeded 200 million at 11 o'clock!

Counting the 22 million in the middle of the night, people were surprised to find that the box office of "The Matrix" on the first day was 231 million yuan, and it was strongly ranked in the top five of the first-day box office list!

The total investment in this movie is 200 million yuan, which means that profitability is not a problem at all!

Similarly, the results of the advance and midnight games in North America have also been released, with Walmart supermarkets earning a total of $9.5 million from the advance games, while the midnight games were only $7.2 million due to the diversion of the early games, and the two combined were $16.7 million!

Such a high midnight box office has also made box office forecasters look sideways, and they can't help but raise its opening weekend box office figure by a few notches.
