April 25, Duong Quan City, Tay Son Province, evening.

Liu Cixin took his wife and daughter to a theater near the city center.

Today is the day of the release of "Space Traveler", and as a deep sci-fi fan, Liu Cixin will naturally not be absent from the release of "Space Traveler".

It is worth mentioning that just some time ago, the total sales of his "Three-Body Problem" series have officially exceeded the 10 million mark, and it has also won extremely high attention abroad.

And the reason why his "Three-Body Problem" series can achieve such dazzling results is, first of all, inseparable from its own extremely high quality, and secondly, it is undeniable that it is also inextricably linked to Li Mu's vigorous promotion from time to time.

Li Mu has talked more than once in public that "The Three-Body Problem" is his favorite science fiction, and Liu Cixin is his favorite science fiction writer.

With Li Mu's status and influence today, with his vigorous promotion, coupled with his excellent quality, his sales are naturally out of control.

The biggest regret is that Liu Cixin's wife and daughter never look at him, and Liu Cixin can understand this, women all over the world are not interested in science fiction themes.

But who doesn't want their wives and daughters to love their work so much, right?

Strange to say, my wife and daughter are obviously not interested in science fiction themes, but they are very obsessed with science fiction movies in the Huashang series.

From "Inception" to "Gravity", this is not the case.

Like today.

Or the daughter has to drag the two of them to watch the movie.

After the movie officially began, her daughter expressed her sincere admiration for the vast cosmic scene in the film, especially when the spaceship passed by Arcturus, the huge and shocking ultra-close-range stellar picture made Liu Jing, the daughter of Da Liu, couldn't help but exclaim.

When a family of three came out of the theater, her daughter Liu Jing chattered about the plot just now, "Space Traveler" is a science fiction blockbuster, but a large amount of content about human nature, men and women, and love can also arouse the interest of non-science fiction audiences.

"Li Lianhua acted so well."

"But I always feel that the actor played by Duan Yihong is too selfish."

"I woke up unexpectedly and wanted to live alone in the spaceship for the rest of my life, which is very pitiful, but my pity is not an excuse to pull the heroine into the water."

"But the movie is still very good, by the way, Dad, don't you have a good relationship with Li Mu? Most of your copyrights have also been sold to director Li Mu, why didn't he shoot you? ”

"Hey, I don't know when I'll see my dad in the theater."

Her daughter's words successfully made Liu Cixin insomnia.

yes, when will Li Mu be able to shoot him? Or is he not worth enough money? To put it mildly, "Space Traveler" is indeed very good, but Liu Cixin feels that if he can also be filmed, it will definitely not be worse than "Space Traveler"!

"Why don't I give Li Mu a call and ask? Never mind! Not to mention the cost of tens of millions of dollars, Li Mu must have his own plan! ”

……

The domestic box office of "Space Traveler" was 158 million on the first day, 265 million on the second day, 221 million on the third day, 91 million on the fourth day, and a total of 744 million in the four days of the premiere plus the zero point field, and Maoyan predicted a box office of 1.93 billion. Maybe just looking at this number, for domestic audiences who are accustomed to seeing Huashang movies with a box office of 27.8 billion or even more than 3 billion, it is not very powerful, but for director Guo Fan, it is already a qualitative growth.

It is not uncommon for Huashang directors to make box office miracles, and "Space Traveler" itself is far from a miracle, but "Space Traveler" is different from "Thai Embarrassment", "Monster Hunt", "The Richest Man in Xihong City", etc.

"Space Traveler" is different, although the film has one or another problem, it is a very rare sci-fi blockbuster after all, and it can even be said that in the whole of China, except for Li Mu himself, the only one who can make a sci-fi movie with this effect is Guo Fan.

Then the domestic audience was excited.

"To be honest, there is still a certain gap with director Li Mu's works, but this is only Guo Fan's second work in Huashang, okay? It is said that Chinese science fiction movies can wrestle with Hollywood, yes, Huashang's science fiction movies have indeed shined all over the world in recent years, but in the end, aren't these shining works all the works of director Li Mu alone? You can't make a forest alone, the rise of director Guo Fan is of great significance! ”

"The film is 3.5 stars, I personally give it 5 stars, who said that only Li Mu can shoot real science fiction in Huaxia? Isn't the successor coming? ”

"Maoyan predicts 1.93 billion? Well, Maoyan has always been conservative in predicting its own films, and everyone who understands it understands! ”

The release of "Space Traveler" is definitely not as good as "Gravity" and "The Martian", and the sensational effect is not as good as "The Richest Man in Xihong City", which has just been released not long ago, but the film is of great significance to Chinese science fiction fans, and in the small circle of science fiction, director Guo Fan began to gain a lot of attention.

At the same time, the box office of "Space Traveler" in North America also came out.

$24.5 million, ranking second this weekend.

The No. 1 film is called "Revenge of the Rival in Love", which grossed $24.7 million in the first weekend, which is a meagre $200,000 higher than "Space Traveler", which makes Guo Fan, who is also looking forward to winning the North American championship, a little disappointed.

However, the result of $24.5 million in the first weekend is actually quite good, after all, the actor of the film can be called any influence of the dollar in North America, and Li Lianhua has a certain amount of influence, but after all, it is still not comparable to the local stars in North America.

In third place is "Captain America 2", which grossed $17 million this weekend, but by this time it has been in theaters for a month and a half, and its cumulative North American box office has reached a staggering $230 million.

The overseas achievements of "Space Traveler" are not only concerned by people from Huashang Media, but also by ordinary netizens.

In recent years, the whole network has been saying that Chinese movies have conquered the world, and Chinese movies have resisted Hollywood, but who doesn't understand that the Chinese movies here are actually movies directed by Li Mu?

In addition, are there any other works in Huaxia films that have exploded in the global market?

The overseas results of the three works such as "Fast Pursuit", "Source Code" and "Shark Beach" are actually good, but they are far from the level of a big hit, I don't know if "Space Traveler" will work this time!

As a result, the North American box office in the first three days of the opening weekend was $24.5 million, and there were $35 million outside North America, so the cumulative overseas box office reached $59.5 million in three days of release.

is only 500,000 US dollars to break 60 million, and according to past experience and the film's reputation, the overseas box office of "Space Traveler" is at least 300 million US dollars.

If you calculate it at 300 million US dollars, plus the domestic box office - even if it is calculated at 2 billion, it is less than 300 million when converted into US dollars!

In other words, the total global box office of "Space Traveler" is likely to be in the $500 million to $600 million range?

In addition to director Li Mu, Huaxia is going to have another director who can shoot a box office of 600 million US dollars?

For a while, the Internet was boiling.

The film industry in China is boiling.

Li Lianhua and Duan Yihong are on fire!

Celebrities of all sizes across the country are inevitably all red-eyed.

It is said that celebrities love to go to Hollywood blockbusters to play tricks, as if as long as they show their faces in Hollywood blockbusters, they can be regarded as having international influence.

So what is likely to be a $500 million to $600 million global box office film like "Space Traveler", and the last Hollywood blockbuster?

It's worth it!

We can't easily grab the movie directed by Li Mu, but the movie directed by Guo Fan should not be so difficult to grab, right? Who knows when Director Guo's next film will start?

"Space Traveler" has not yet been released, and many actors' careful thinking has already moved in advance.

……

Jingshi, the crew of "Let's Get Married".

After finishing the day's filming mission, Li Mu opened Maoyan Movie and looked at the data of "Space Traveler", then nodded with satisfaction, and then he suddenly thought: "Liu Cixin will win the Hugo Award next year, right?" I don't know if he can still win the prize in this plane. ”

"Maybe it's time for the company to start the 'The Wandering Earth' project!"

And then there's Edge of Tomorrow.

"Fast Pursuit 2", which was launched in the second half of last year, has been officially completed some time ago, and the next step is to arrange Wu Jing to play "Wolf Warrior 2" or to shoot "Fast Pursuit 3" next?

Li Mu thought about it, then shook his head, neither film was very suitable, and then Li Mu thought of the script he had been working on for several years - "Edge of Tomorrow".
