Blockbusters are generally released on weekends, in order to grab the box office on rest days.

The film was no exception, being released on Friday and then logically dominating the following Saturdays and Sundays.

The box office of 600 million in three days is a few million more, which makes all those who are staring at the box office stunned.

The box office on the first day broke the record, the box office broke the record in the first week, and the record on the first day of the next week was broken again, in short, as long as it was a record, it was all broken.

Now, the media, which was originally not optimistic about the movie and thought it would overturn, all changed their tunes and began to praise the movie.

There are still a lot of media that are optimistic, for example, they believe in the strength of director Maas, believe in the good reputation of the previous film, and believe that the integration of Eastern and Western cultures may have a wonderful and beautiful reaction.

But the unfavorable media is also not good-looking.

Does director Thomas have what it takes to sustain a film series? The word-of-mouth and box office of the previous one are so good, can the sequel still make the audience's eyes shine, instead of a new bottle of old wine, changing the soup without changing the medicine?

As for the cultural integration of the East and the West, this one is even more bottomless.

It's not that there haven't been attempts at this before, but which one has been successful? How many people can say what is memorable?

So it's really not to blame them for not being optimistic, it's that there are too many traps that the movie may encounter.

And it's hard to speculate on the tastes of movie fans, and sometimes all the media and critics are optimistic about the film, and the film company has invested a lot of money in it, can become a dog after its release. Films that are not taken seriously, no one cares, and look like crazy may break into people's eyes like a dark horse.

If the audience's tastes were so predictable, there wouldn't be so many films that lost no pants.

The cost is one or two hundred million, and it is really not a rare situation to recover one or two hundred million movies, and people who follow the film industry can casually break their fingers and say one, two, three.

Investment is not important, prediction is not important, the most important thing is to see the audience's reaction, whether they like it, whether they can accept it, that is the most important thing!

As it turned out, the audience loved it!

Three days over the weekend is enough for many viewers to see this film that they have been waiting for for a long time.

And director Thomas and his cast did not disappoint them, presenting a super visual feast for fans.

When they saw the sky stars where the sword immortals lived, fans from both the West and the East were boiling, because they never thought they would see such a wonderful scene in a movie.

Oriental audiences may be more familiar with it, because this is really a pavilion that only appears in cultivation, and it is not an exaggeration to say that those beautiful scenery are heavenly fairy palaces.

In fact, it is not wrong to say this, when creating the scene, Thomas communicated with Jun Qingqi for a long time.

He wanted to create a real place for the Sword Immortals to live, not a thatched hut and a bunch of tattered hamlets.

The advice given by Jun Qingyan was to throw him a few translated Xiuzhen books, and let him savor how magnificent the world of Xiuzhen was.

Then, Thomas was completely hooked on that world.

In terms of architectural style, he chose the oriental style and added some Linhuang style.

Of course, this is contributed by Jun Qingyan, and she also has selfishness in it, that is, she hopes to see some elements of her hometown in this movie.

There are many similarities between the style of Linhuang Kingdom and the Oriental style, but because it has been inherited for a longer time, there is a bit of a back-to-basics flavor. The brilliance of gold is just a choice, and the precipitation inherited from the long history is difficult to express in words.

Jun Qingzhu painted some of the more famous buildings of the Linhuang Kingdom, and Thomas fell in love with it at first sight, and was very satisfied to use it in his own films.

He thought that this was a cultivation scene she had imagined, but he never imagined that it was actually the real world she had lived and protected.

After the fusion of Linhuang Kingdom and oriental elements, it has magically been recognized by both Eastern and Western audiences.

Not to mention, Western audiences have never seen such a charming scenery. Oriental audiences were also fascinated by the architecture of the sky.

It is very similar to the oriental style, but it seems to have been sublimated in some places.

The average viewer doesn't understand what the hell is going on, but that doesn't stop them from falling in love with such a style!

It's not just the architectural style, but more importantly, the way the sword fairy fights.

Xiuzhen fans in the East have always looked forward to seeing the real Xiuzhen on the screen, rather than the soft idol TV. The plot of the male protagonist hugging the female protagonist in the flowers under the tree, or flying and flying together is very beautiful, yes, it is very beautiful, but that is not the cultivation they imagined!

What they want to see is a more intense battle, a more impactful picture, and a more blood-boiling plot!

Director Thomas gave everyone their fantasy scenes, especially when the battle was about to end, and countless sword fairies and star thieves fought together. With swords in hand, they fight to the death to protect their homeland with a group of offenders armed with laser weapons and mechs.

It's nice to feel like blood can boil in the midst of passionate music!

"That's what we want!" - This is the comment that was liked the most by people after watching the movie.

In the film review area, an audience member left a very excited message, which also received many likes.

He said: "The movie is so good, I don't even know where to start. Everything was so perfect that it made me feel like I was back in the day when the Star Wars franchise began, and when I first knew that the original movie could still be like this, the whole person became distracted. I was so addicted to it that I forgot about the time to go on a date with my girlfriend. So much time has passed since that day, I thought there would be no more movies to move me until this one came along. I swear I'll never leave as long as this series continues! ”

The Star Wars franchise is the belief of many fans of science fiction movies, and many of them look down on other intergalactic movies, believing that all of them are shoddy imitations and nothing new.

But the new movie brought by Thomas has successfully integrated into the culture of the East and the West, and many Star Wars fans who have seen it have turned against it.

Times are advancing, and so are their aesthetics.

They have to admit that the current interstellar movies have grown, grown to the point that they may have left the Star Wars franchise behind and started anew, creating new beliefs.

The audience in the East was slightly less impacted, after all, many of them grew up watching Xiuzhen. What makes them more interested is that they can present such an image of the Sword Fairy on the big screen, and they also shoot it very well, which is very in line with the fantasy in their hearts.
