Chapter 273 What is Pai Nian?
Many people will not be able to sleep tonight.

The highest zero-point box office record in film history of 307 million hit the hearts of everyone in the industry.

Now the domestic box office champion is still in the hands of "Transformers 2", and its zero-point box office is not as high as "The Martian".

Therefore, the industry unanimously asked: "Can "The Martian" really kill "Transformers 2"?"

Cheng Yu'an had a good rest at home, and joined the leading actors in the evening to participate in the road show that lasted for more than half a month.

They want to grab the most possible box office before the release of "20" on the 2012th.

The 5th is Thursday, and the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies can only be broken out on Friday night and the weekend.

But the popularity of the zero point field still made the first stop of the road show full of seats.

At seven o'clock in the evening, everyone gathered in the flagship store of Yuanqiu Golden Harvest Cinema in Beijing to promote.

During the day, the protagonists have already gone to six theaters in the capital, and there are three more shows in the evening.

Cheng Yu'an will follow in the mainland for a week, and then they will split up. Chen Daoming will take a group, Zhang Guoli will take a group, and Cheng Yu'an will take a group to Hong Kong Island for a day. Wan Island will only stay for half a day, and then they will divert to other places. Japan, South Korea and Europe and the United States.

Europe and the United States are exclusively distributed by Universal. On the first day of North America, 374 theaters are arranged to be screened, and in Europe, there are more than [-] theaters. After a good response, the film will be expanded.

In fact, Cheng Yu'an didn't intend to use "The Martian" to make much money in the European and American markets.

Western audiences are not very interested in Chinese science fiction, especially space science fiction. Cheng Yu'an's expected target for the European and American markets is 3000-5000 million US dollars.

Look at this group of leading actors, how should I put it, they are all powerful, that is to say, their fan appeal is relatively weak.

But it's okay, there is Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming plays a scientist in "The Martian". Mingjiao is very powerful now, and many people come to see Huang Xiaoming wherever he goes.

And Huang Xiaoming doesn't care about being a supporting role, and he is very cooperative in the promotion.

After running in the capital for two days, a certain news program at 7 o'clock on Saturday night reported on "The Martian":

"The end of the year is approaching, and watching movies has become the first choice for many people for vacation and leisure. Recently, a domestic sci-fi blockbuster "The Martian", which shows the optimism and bravery of Chinese astronauts, is currently being screened. Once it was released, it triggered a movie-watching craze for the whole people."

The following is the specific content of the report: Many people lined up to buy tickets in the theater, rushing to enter.

""The Martian" is a space sci-fi masterpiece created by the famous Chinese director Cheng Yu'an for three years. The film tells the touching story of Li Jun, a member of my country's Mars scientific research team, who was in distress on Mars and survived the catastrophe. He was rescued by astronauts. "

"It is reported that since the film was released, the audience's enthusiasm for watching the movie has been high. The zero-point box office reached 300 million, breaking the zero-point box office record in my country's film history. The box office was 3200 million on the first day, and 4160 million on the next Friday. Breaking through the billion-dollar mark."

What follows are interviews with several viewers.

"The special effects are very good, I have watched it for the second time, and I brought my family to watch it together today."

"I was very touched after watching it, and I admire the astronauts' optimism, bravery, and positive strength. Although it is a science fiction film, the details and scenes are very realistic and will not make people play. I will recommend this to my friends. Movie."

The camera turned again, and it was an interview with Director Han: "The popularity of "The Martian" shows that our audience and the market can accept domestic science fiction. This releases a very good signal. I believe that domestic science fiction films will welcome the future Come spring when a hundred flowers bloom."

Then there is an interview with Cheng Yu'an: "I hope this movie can plant a seed of advocating science, courage to explore, optimism and courage in the hearts of our audience, especially the children."

Finally, CCTV also specifically quoted the poster of "The Martian" at the end of the report:
"The Martian is now showing!"

The entire report lasted for 40 seconds, and was written by China Film Group.

"The ads are all over here!"

Liu Yifei watched the report with her mother at home.

Mother Liu now regrets not letting her daughter take the role of Wang Li in "The Martian".

But after thinking about it, Cheng Yu'an is his son-in-law, and he would definitely not treat Qianqian badly, so the thought flashed by, and he asked his daughter, "Sissi, how are you and Yu'an doing recently?"

"He was running publicity in other places and he was busy. We haven't contacted for several days."

"You won't go if you don't contact me."

"I didn't act in "The Martian", so I'll follow along to figure out what's going on."

"What do others say when you work with him?"

"Mom! We don't want to make it public just yet."

"How did his two grandfathers treat you?"

"It's good for me, they all like me."

"Where's that girl named Jing Tian?"

"What are you talking about her?" Liu Yifei has always had a grudge against Jing Tian.

Although the baby kiss between the two was a joke, she always felt uncomfortable.

"My silly daughter, although it's a joke, but the older generation believes it, otherwise why would Yu'an give her "Tron: Legacy"?"

"That was paid for by her company."

"Then there are always favors between the two families." Liu's mother thought for a while, "It's okay if you don't want to make it public so early, just deal with it first."

"what's up?"

"Get married first."

"Mom!" Liu Yifei shouted, "We have only been together for more than a year, and we didn't expect to get married so early."

"Don't worry about it. I'll tell his grandfather that if you don't get married, you have to get engaged first. You can't follow him like this."

The young lady disagreed verbally, but actually acquiesced that her mother did this.

The two of them have not been together for long or short. With the progress of Cheng Yuan's career and the company's development of artist brokerage business, Cheng Yuan has more and more beauties around her, which makes her feel very insecure.

The conversation was divided into two parts, and Cheng Yu'an was still running road shows all over the country.

"The original idea for this movie came from Shenzhou [-] and [-]. I was watching the live broadcast of the launch on TV. I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked. I think our aerospace industry and astronauts are very great. I was even more inspired when I heard that we were going to start the lunar exploration project. I thought, we have all started planning to go to the moon, so isn’t Mars not far away? This is how the initial conception of the “Mars Project” came about.”

Cheng Yu'an sat on the stage.

"The pre-preparation of this film is very difficult. We discussed the feasibility with the engineers of the space agency, but we are still laymen. We have learned a lot and understood a lot of difficulties in our aerospace industry."

"There are some exaggerations and unrealistic in the film, but this is a necessary fiction of film and television creation, I don't think it will have much impact on the viewing of the film."

"I'm not sure if I will make sci-fi again in the future. Let's see if there are any good books. I don't want to limit myself to one genre. If there are good stories, I will participate as a producer and supervisor."

""2012"? Let's face up to our opponents. Over the past few days, our results are not bad. Trust our audience."

It should be said that China Film's film schedule at the end of the year was a bit messy.

"11" appeared in November, and "Avatar" appeared in January, with more than 2012 domestic films in between.

After a day of interviews and publicity, Cheng Yu'an returned to the hotel and fell asleep.
