Talking, talking, talking all the time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ infoThe theater, which had been quiet, gradually became buzzing. Some viewers watched the movie with a serious face, some viewers were almost asleep, some viewers and the people next to them began to discuss the plot enthusiastically, and some viewers began to scold.
"Oh. ShitοΌ What kind of science fiction movie is this? β
"Idiots with an IQ below 70 will be rough if you don't look at it!"
"MyGod, is this movie all talk? It's boring. β
"Oh, a waste of my time and money, Fuck!"
"It's a public place, don't bother me to make $1 million!"
"There are so many idiots today......"

As this movie continues to play, it has gradually divided the audience into two extreme parts, people who like this movie think that it is full of creativity and wonderful, and think that this is a science fiction movie that only normal intelligent businessmen can understand, while those who don't like it think that this is not a science fiction film at all, but a literary film under the guise of science fiction, just like "The Emperor's New Clothes" insulted their IQ and cheated them out of their money.
Sophie Marceau listened to the chaotic sounds around her, and whispered to Lin Jianqi, who was snoring slightly: "Johnny, wake up, it's too noisy here, let's go out." β
"Oh, how exciting, let's watch it for a while." Lin Jianqi was awakened by Sophie's sleepy eyes, rubbed his eyes, and said.
"Huh? Looks like you're still asleep? Sophie Marceau couldn't help but laugh.
"Baby, it's not me who came to watch, but you, a successful movie, there must be reasons for her success, I hope you can gain something in this movie!" Lin Jianqi smiled playfully.
"No matter how you look at it, you deceived me, since you said it, then I'll take it seriously!" Sophie Marceau saw Lin Jianqi's insistence and said helplessly.
But by the time the movie was halfway through, the noise in the theater had already gone down, and a small number of them couldn't stand it and left directly, and the other part fell asleep like Lin Jianqi.
And the audience in the theater is only seventy percent, but these seventy percent, like Sophie Marceau, are watching the movie seriously, and every word of the protagonist in it slowly echoes in their hearts, what if they are the immortal person?
What would happen if I met someone who was immortal? How can you refute the protagonist's astonishing statements?
One by one, one by one, doubts surfaced in their minds. The film slowly screened to the end, and with the earth-shattering reversal of the identity of the old professor Will, all the doubts, speculations and interrogations in front of him turned into exclamations.
This director, this screenwriter, this idea, it's amazing! is worthy of the gold medal screenwriter Johnnylin, if "S-Class Bodyguard" is a classic commercial film, then this "This Man is from Earth" is a literary film dressed in science fiction, which is enough to prove his extraordinary talent.
After the movie screening, the theater gradually lit up again, and many people were still sitting motionless in their chairs, feeling the throbbing of their hearts after watching the movie.
Even Sophie Marceau, who was skeptical of the film at first, felt as if her heart was shaken.
"Let's go, baby, let's go home for dinner!" Lin Jianqi whispered to the stunned Sophie.
"Darling, you're a genius...... Sophie Marceau suddenly said with a serious face: "I've decided to be your fan from today, by the way, do you have any videotapes of your previous films?" By the way, how much money was invested in this movie? β
"Twenty thousand." Lin Jianqi whispered, Sophie Marceau opened her mouth and looked at Lin Jianqi speechless for a long time.
"This Man is from Earth" earned $14.8 million at the box office on its first day of release, but as expected, the box office plummeted the next day, falling to $6.7 million, less than half of its premiere day. Fortunately, this data stabilized on the third day, and the single-day box office has remained above 5 million.
However, the reputation of this movie has been bullish all the way, except for a few religious people and people who really can't stand the plot of the movie from time to time to jump out and scold, many film critics and news media have given some praise to the content and directorial techniques of the film.
When it comes to religious issues, they can't boast about it......
Just a week after the release of "This Man from Earth", Sophie Marceau, who originally thought that the movie would be popular, was surprised to find that although the attendance rate of this movie did not rise against the market, it did not fall, and the single-day box office even rose to more than 6.5 million for several days.
As a result, for nearly a week, the box office of the movie remained above 9 million per day, and the box office growth of the box office strangely stopped after seven or eight days, and the single-day box office began to slowly fall again, and finally fell below 4 million.
As a result, when "This Man is from Earth" was drawn, it took advantage of Microsoft's listing and got a North American box office of $255.3 million, which shattered the glasses.
Let's not forget that the cost of this film is less than twenty thousand dollars. Lin Jianqi this time, excluding the filming costs, publicity costs and the donation costs promised Mary, the North American box office alone earned more than 200 million US dollars! The box office results of European and American countries and regions should be counted gradually.
North American movies are really profitable, and the score of such a small film Lin Jianqi is higher than the box office of any film in Hong Kong. No wonder Shao Renleng and Zou Wenhuai thought about running to the United States all day long......
But is the potential of this movie tapped up so quickly? The European box office has not yet come out, and the re-release of videotapes and movies can also make money, and earn more, especially after Microsoft's senior executives are ranked on the world's richest list, Lin Jianqi can continue to make a lot of money by relying on the copyright of this movie.
In the future, according to the statistics of the American "Variety" magazine, Lin Jianqi made a net profit of 970 million US dollars in the world just with the release of the film's videotape and DVD, not to mention the money earned from the film's global screening, re-screening and TV broadcast, this movie can be said to be more profitable than "Titanic" in the future, because it is all Lin Jianqi's own.
In short, the news that Lin Jianqi made a lot of money in North America with "This Man from Earth" finally came back to Hong Kong, which immediately triggered a wave of entertainment discussions in Hong Kong.
