At 2 hours and 25 minutes, Independence Day is the longest of the three films ever made by the Grandmaster.

But in this nearly two-and-a-half-hour movie, the audience even felt as if the movie was over before anything happened.

And after watching the movie, in addition to the shock, there is only the shock!

No way, who made this movie known for its shock in a previous life?

In the previous life, when Emmerich took the book everywhere to look for investment, many film companies looked down on this book, thinking that the things told in this book were very ordinary, and the investment required by Emmerich was quite high, so the movie was almost aborted because no one invested.

In the end, Emmerich still impressed Twentieth Century Fox with his three-inch tongue, so that Fox paid $75 million to shoot the film, and also spent $24 million for publicity.

What everyone didn't expect was that this movie, which was difficult to be favored at the beginning of the project, actually swept $817 million at the global box office after its release, becoming the overall box office champion in 96.

Of course, after the release of this movie, it also received a lot of criticism, but whether it was critics criticizing Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum's mediocre acting, or criticizing the film's plot for being too bland and full of loopholes, these criticisms could not stop the attraction of shocking special effects shots to fans.

The grand and shocking special effects footage brings unparalleled visual enjoyment, which will make fans who are new to computer special effects addicted.

Although the special effects of "Independence Day" will be considered very ordinary and even simple from the perspective of future generations, in that era, this kind of special effects shot was the best guarantee for the box office!

Similarly, when the Grandmaster moved the film into this world, fans who had only experienced a special effects shot of "Terminator" still couldn't resist the shocking shots of the movie. Even those film critics were stunned.

When the film ended, the audience erupted in deafening applause and cheers, and even the most critical critics stood up and applauded.

Because after this movie was released in the previous life, the most criticized thing was the acting skills of the two leading actors, so when the grandmaster filmed this movie, he was extremely strict with the actors' performances. Although it can't be compared with the acting skills of actors in many literary films, it can be regarded as a qualified level, and in this kind of purely commercial popcorn movie, the performance of several leading actors can also be called remarkable.

Even the grandmaster who was electrocuted for the first time performed quite well in this movie, at least the grandmaster's self-evaluation was better than that of Jeff Goldbrum in his previous life.

The performance of the audience, critics and journalists is a testament to the success of the film.

Because the premiere was held in Los Angeles, the film's advance was held in the United States. Countless American movie fans bought tickets early, occupying 3,700 theaters in the United States, and contributing a whopping $48 million to the U.S. advance box office of "Independence Day".

The $48 million advance box office also broke the box office record for North American advance games. That's even higher than the box office of most movies in their first week!

And when "Independence Day" began to be released on a large scale around the world the next day, a wave of resistance to alien invasion of the earth instantly spread all over the world.

Countless fans generously donated money and called friends to walk into the theater to enjoy this movie that has begun to ferment on the Internet.

The existence of the Internet has turned the earth into a village early on, and any news can be spread to all countries around the world within an hour.

The sensation caused by "Independence Day" in the United States is naturally and inevitably spread all over the world with network cables and fiber optic cables, especially the comments on "Independence Day" on the camera network, which has attracted fans around the world to be ready to move.

That kind of situation is no different from the original "Forrest Gump" and "Terminator" after the release.

There are long queues at the entrance of theaters around the world, of course, these long queues are not for ticket purchases, but for ticket check-in. The first week's movie tickets were sold out on the Internet early, and you want to buy tickets to watch the movie at this time, sorry, there are no tickets!

Who told you not to book tickets in advance?

The fact that so many fans are waiting in line to enter the theater is enough to prove that fans are looking forward to this movie.

In fact, in the first three days of the release of "Independence Day", it swept up more than 1.7 billion Chinese dollars at the global box office, of which in Dahua alone, the box office in the first three days reached 780 million Chinese yuan.

Although this figure did not exceed the first-week box office of "Terminator", don't forget that "Terminator" has an early box office of 87 million Chinese yuan in Dahua. "Independence Day" did not have an advance at Dahua, so it is inevitable that the box office of the first week did not exceed the first week box office of "Terminator" of 801 million Chinese dollars.

However, in the second week, the box office of "Independence Day" in Dahua surpassed the second week box office of "Terminator" of 780 million Chinese dollars, and "Independence Day" swept up 823 million Chinese dollars in Dahua in the second week and seven days in the second week, and also collected a total box office of more than 3.2 billion Chinese yuan worldwide.

In the end, the global box office even surpassed "The Terminator", although it has not surpassed "Forrest Gump", but it has also exceeded 4 billion Chinese yuan.

The Grandmaster's net profit in this movie also exceeded 1.5 billion Chinese dollars. Of course, the Grandmaster will not pocket these profits, but donate all the pure profits from "Independence Day" to the earthquake-stricken areas in Qianbei.

The Grandmaster's move once again received a lot of praise.

Even in Dahua, it is rare to see an individual's donation to the disaster area to reach such a high amount, and the 200 million Chinese yuan donated by the grandmaster and Fang Zhengying together is already shocking enough, but I didn't expect that a few months after the earthquake, the grandmaster still kept the promise he made before, and donated more than 1.5 billion Chinese yuan at one time.

This money no longer means anything to the Grandmaster. The Grandmaster himself is not short of money, and there is no difference between having more money in his account and not having this money in his account.

Moreover, because of the box office explosion of "Independence Day", it once again triggered the pursuit of Yanhuang Tianlai by shareholders, causing the market value of Yanhuang Tianlai to rise again. The income from the stock market alone has skyrocketed the value of the Grandmaster by tens of billions of dollars, how can the Grandmaster care about the pure profit of these 1.5 billion dollars?
