On the third day of the release of "The Wandering Earth", Lin Ye returned to the magic capital from Xiangjiang to meet with director Guo Fan.

Now, the entire crew is raising their eyebrows.

From the beginning of the team's establishment to the period when the funding was cut off, everyone questioned the project and what they did at the time.

Now, in just three days after its release, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 1 billion!

Such a market response has given everyone in the team a burst of encouragement.

Not only do they now feel that the one billion box office is very hanging, but they even feel that they can rush to the three billion box office!

"Brother Lin!"

Wu Jing took out Huazi and took the initiative to hand Lin Ye a cigarette.

"Ouch Brother Jing, have you smoked Huazi?"

"That's not it, you still have a vision, let me invest in "The Wandering Earth" this wave is not a loss!"

Lin Ye smiled, not only is it not a loss, you are making money with blood!

"By the way, Brother Jing, how much did you vote?"

Lin Ye inquired.

Wu Jing didn't hide it, and told Lin Ye truthfully: "One hundred million." ”

"That's not that I have vision, no matter how much vision I have, I can't let you invest 100 million, it must be that you yourself think "The Wandering Earth" is okay, right?"

"Hahahaha!"

Wu Jing laughed when he heard this.

"Yes, when I saw you being so serious and working hard, it was very similar to when I filmed the wolf warrior last year, I thought that these people were not ordinary, if what they did was done, they would definitely be able to make a sensation in the industry, so they invested 100 million yuan, Lin Ye, how much did you invest?"

Lin Ye sneered: "Hehe, I invested 200 million." ”

At the moment, Brother Wu Jing's face was not good.

Damn, why did you invest 200 million?

He hurriedly asked Guo Fan: "What is the total investment of our movie?" ”

Guo Fan replied: "No more, no less, one billion." ”

Wu Jing immediately pinched his fingers and muttered: "Lin Ye invested 200 million, and the rate of return is 20%." ”

"Now that the box office is one billion, why have you returned half of your money?"

Lin Ye nodded, agreeing with his calculation: "Yes, you are the same, you have returned half of your book." ”

"Oh, you two don't compare and compare."

Guo Fan persuaded and said: "You can make as much money as you want, the important thing is that someone has watched the movie, and the day of Chinese science fiction films has come." ”

"I've been watching the Internet in the past two days, and there are a lot of foreign media and foreign netizens who have a lot of comments on our movies, have you all watched them?"

Lin Ye shook his head, and Wu Jing scolded even more: "Our Chinese people's movies, what kind of fun are we doing with foreigners?" Do you still need their evaluation? ”

"It's all good reviews."

Guo Fan added.

"Then you have to see, what did they say?"

Wu Jing immediately stepped forward and asked Guo Fan to show him the evaluation on the Internet.

Guo Fan smiled and gave his phone to Lin Ye.

"Lin Ye, you come to translate for him."

"Okay."

Lin Ye's proficient in many Chinese languages could not be hidden.

Now everyone in the circle knows that he has a strong talent for languages.

He can speak Thai, Japanese, and English.

Lin Ye flipped through the promotional video of "The Wandering Earth" on the YouTube tube, and there were all English comments at the bottom.

He watched and translated.

"This netizen from Yindu said that it is better to believe that the Chinese people can save the earth, than to believe that the microwave oven can save the earth!"

Lin Ye looked at Guo Fan with a puzzled gaze.

The latter immediately explained: "This is also a good review, right? It all subverted his imagination. ”

Lin Ye continued to read: "This netizen from the United States said, I am an avid fan of Liu Cixin, this movie is really super restored to the plot, and the story and plot also inherit Liu Cixin's literary temperament, it is really beyond my imagination to see Chinese people make science fiction films of this level." ”

"Comments from netizens in the country of development, taking the earth to wander, such a romantic science fiction idea, I have to admire the imagination of Chinese people."

"Huaxia's aerospace technology is actually at the world's leading level, and it is my expectation that they can make such a powerful science fiction movie, and I am deeply attracted by the 'community of shared future for mankind' in the film!"

"Finally, I don't have to watch Hollywood monopolize the sci-fi film market, come on! I support Huaxia! ”

"It's different from traditional science fiction movies, when I watched it, I realized the unique culture of the Chinese nation, this movie is made for their own people, don't spray trolls who don't like it, your country has the ability to make a science fiction movie like this, or to give birth to a science fiction giant like Liu Cixin!"

"I have been to China, their oriental culture of their homeland, land, are deeply rooted in the soul, their attachment to their homeland even to the point of stubbornness, maybe this kind of culture, will let them come up with the genius idea of taking the earth to wander, admire!"

I have seen a lot of reviews, some people like it and some people don't.

Lin Ye drew a key message from this.

That is, "The Wandering Earth" still has overseas markets!

In other words, in addition to the domestic box office, they also have global box office revenue!

"Director Guo, what did you think after reading these comments at that time?"

Lin Ye asked the director.

He took the mobile phone that Lin Ye returned, and said slowly: "Their comments reminded me of the very beginning of the project, when I read almost all of Da Liu's books, and I read every one. ”

"At that time, there were three Da Liu's "The Wandering Earth", "Micro Era" and "Supernova Era" that could be made into science fiction, and my first instinct at that time was that if one of the three was chosen, it would definitely be "The Wandering Earth", and then I thought about it carefully, it could only be "The Wandering Earth".

"Why?"

Lin Ye asked.

"Because the story can be loaded into the near future, and I think 'The Wandering Earth' has a cool sense of form, although I can't tell why it's cool at the time, I just think it's really cool to push the Earth out of the solar system, but I don't know why I think it's cool."

"The reason for this is that I only realized it after reading these extranet reviews."

"Oh?"

This thing is not only cool in the eyes of Americans, but also very peculiar, it turns out that it really belongs to our own cultural core of the Chinese people, it is our deep feelings for the land and homeland, which will cause us to take "home" with us even when we flee. ”

"The so-called home does not mean that the earth we present physically is a physical space like a pile of stones and the six walls of the house."

"When you buy this house, it represents your family, your wife, children and even the way your mother-in-law looks at you."

"This is our Chinese understanding of home, it is definitely not a physical space."

"The moment we push the earth away, what we push away is not a physical stone, it pushes away our home, all our emotional carriers."

"This thing is not Western, it is particularly Chinese."

"So the source of its coolness, which is given to us by our culture, is particularly peculiar in the eyes of foreigners."

After listening to Director Guo Fan's explanation, Lin Ye and Wu Jing suddenly realized in an instant.

He explained it too well, which is why the Chinese people will be so excited and shocked after watching "The Wandering Earth".

It is not only shocking in the sci-fi scene, but also shocking because of the 'sci-fi core' of this special Chinese culture!
