my gilded age

Chapter 785 Box Office! 40 billion!
In the summer box office war, Bai Shiqiu made a high-profile announcement from the beginning that he would challenge Hollywood blockbusters with "The Three-Body Problem", and the reaction was particularly big from Marvel fans.

But now, an unexpected turn has occurred. "X-Men Apocalypse" is coming to challenge "Captain America 3". It feels like a clear line has been drawn. Such a change is really jaw-dropping. Even fans don't know why. Done.

Many senior die-hard fans understand that there is definitely a question of profit. You must know that the box office of "Apocalypse" in the United States is not very good.

Mainland China seems to be Hollywood’s lifeline now, but who is Bai Shiqiu?

That's right, I don't dare to offend him. I really don't dare at all. I can schedule more movies and call him dad.

In this way, the momentum of Bai Shiqiu's fans is high, and this change has instantly turned Marvel's casual fans into black fans. After all, this method is too speechless. After all, those so-called die-hard fans are not many in number, and especially this time The real outbreak of the incident was entirely due to a few more extreme fans.

Marvel fans are even fighting within themselves.

"One mouthful for your country. Are you okay?"

"Watching a movie, as for making it so big? Are you sick?"

"If you are sick, go see a doctor! Watch Nima's movies!"

Many old fans, die-hard fans, are even a little scared, because some of the extreme fans, they simply... remember what happened with Xiduco back then.

It is reasonable to be afraid. If things get bigger, it will really be difficult to deal with.

Sure enough, some big-name marketing accounts have focused on this matter.

Tuantuan on TT directly expressed his opinion.

"Spiritual foreigner? Very undesirable!"

Not long after that, a restaurant with a purple sign also came out to talk.

"It's just a movie, how come it has reached the national level?"

With such development, can CCTV still be able to sit still?
"The summer box office battle, Baek Shi-qiu's new film "The Three-Body Problem" has been widely praised..."

Assists, definitely assists.

After doing this, what’s the result?
Click, click, click, from the beginning of June to the middle of the month, for fifteen consecutive days, the box office of "The Three-Body Problem" was more than 3 million, and there were several days where the box office was more than [-] million.

Box office hit!

It has directly surpassed the previous "Mermaid" and is aiming to reach the goal of exceeding 30 billion!

So under such circumstances, what about "Apocalypse"?

It must be said that this movie was mainly low-key in its promotion, but it really had a considerable effect, taking in a total of 7 million at the box office. This result is not much different from the box office performance in North America. It can be said that , absolutely profitable.

After all, this is a blockbuster movie with a huge cast of superstars, and our country's film market is booming, so it shouldn't be possible to make money.

However, "Three-Body 3" was a huge victory!
After the 30 billion box office passed by, I looked back.

Huh, the box office of the two Hollywood Marvel movies combined is not as much as that of "The Three-Body Problem".

Moreover, many other great movies before, such as "Alice in Wonderland 2", encountered Waterloo.

Well, this movie has been a disaster all over the world. I can’t say how we Chinese movie fans are, because this movie is indeed relatively average, and many places are weird.

Let’s just say that the heroine’s clothes can actually be seen to have Chinese elements, but unfortunately, they are very weird Chinese elements. They are foreign but not foreign, and it makes people uncomfortable to look at them.

In addition, movies like "Divergent 3"...are really bad.

People say that China is speculating on IP. In fact, the phenomenon of speculating on IP in the United States is even more fierce. In other words, it started from them. This "Divergent" is an IP, which has many similarities with "The Hunger Games" , also started from a novel, but this series of movies fell into disrepute by the third film.

It's cool.

To be honest, it's not very good to watch. The utopian society in this movie was originally a bit imaginative, but later it became a bit incomprehensible.

An inexplicable feeling.

If this movie is not good, then it is not good. But don’t forget, there is another masterpiece movie, "Independence Day 2"!
What Bai Shiqiu said at the beginning was that there were no science fiction movies in this summer season.

It’s easy for people to find fault with this. In fact, we all know very well that Marvel movies are classified as science fiction movies, but their science fiction elements are really very few. They are basically the fantasy novels where we started, pretty much. Less.

It belongs to American fantasy.

However, "Divergent" is actually sci-fi, and "Independence Day" is even more sci-fi!

So, Bai Shiqiu, you are just firing off firecrackers!
This is also the main reason why many people attack him.

Now "Divergent" has cooled down, but "Independence Day 2" is coming, how about it?
Are you Bai Shiqiu afraid?
It must be said that the expectations for "Independence Day 2" are very, very high, much higher than the two Marvel movies. After all, the predecessor of this movie is really too famous, not only the box office is very high The success also made Emmerich really famous.

We in China did not introduce it at that time, but we heard that this blockbuster was very awesome. Many people later watched the pirated version and thought... Oh, here we go.

"We owe Emmerich a movie ticket!"

"Let's go see this movie! Make up for what we owe!"

"It's not just Master Xing who has feelings! We can't forget Emmerich either..."

Feelings, feelings are coming.

In recent years, many old classic films have been released, and many movie fans have really paid for the sentiment. As for Independence Day, do we need to have some internationalism in this aspect?

It makes sense, it really makes sense.

So what is the result?

"Fuck! I finally understand what Bai Shiqiu means!"

"My big baby!"

"What the hell is this 2? Is this any different from 1?"

"This is really not science fiction, this is copy and paste!"

After the premiere, many fans couldn't help but complain and express their gratitude to Baek Shi Qiu.

We misunderstood you!

Just like Luo Ji, I finally understand that you are good to us.

It's a very simple thing. Do you think there is any difference between "Independence Day 2" and its predecessor?As far as the basic story is concerned, it's really hard to pick out the differences, especially the routines for defeating the big boss in the end are almost the same, not to mention the rhythm of the entire movie.

Both films have the same rhythm.

So, Bai Shiqiu, you are Luo Ji. We really misunderstood you before.

So and so, what’s the result?

"Three-Body 3" goes straight to 40 billion!
It should be said that at this stage of the summer season, the outcome is already very clear. Bai Shiqiu's "The Three-Body Problem" has killed all its opponents and trampled on every Hollywood blockbuster!

A great victory, the result is no longer clear, but some people still make irresponsible remarks.

"Baek Shi Qiu, your films are only good at home! You will be finished when you go abroad!"

"That's right! If you have the ability, you can go abroad!"

"Let's see if Baek Shi-qiu's movie can achieve any results overseas!"

"Has The Three-Body Problem been released abroad?"

Many movie fans began to think that you, Bai Shiqiu, are so arrogant that you are not capable!
This statement is still very interesting. It is like an otaku. In his own small world, he is absolutely awesome, but he just doesn't leave the house.

So, what was Bai Shiqiu’s reaction?

Dongshan Villa, Bai Shiqiu's waist. . .

"Old Bai, you've been really..."

"Qianqian, my good wife, I'm here."

"You smelly and shameless!"

"Hey hey hey..."

The harem is really too big, and Bai Shiqiu's waist is indeed a little busy, but he is thinking of his wife Qianqian, so he is here.

"I won't bother you anymore, just say something." Qianqian is really virtuous.

"Oh, my wife Qianqian is better." Bai Shiqiu said this.

"devil!"

"hey-hey……"

What is this called?

It's okay for an old couple to sleep alone.

But what?

"Old Bai, I'm just a little bit strange, why don't you work hard to get "Three-Body" released abroad?"

"This……"

In fact, the word "effort" mentioned by Qianqian is really too much, because Bai Shiqiu does not need any effort at all. The current situation is that Bai Shiqiu has a considerable share of AMC Cinemas. As long as he wants to, then "Three "Body" will definitely appear in the North American film market.

Of course, the people at AMC have been saying to the outside world that our operations are independent and we are not affected by Chinese capital.

It's just that when we said we were going to divest our capital, these guys were all better than dogs, and some even said they could donate their chrysanthemums.

Bai Shiqiu is not that kind of person anymore and has no interest in their chrysanthemums.

But why didn’t Bai Shiqiu expand overseas with “The Three-Body Problem”?

"Tell me about it!" Qianqian was very curious.

Bai Shiqiu had no choice but to say, "First, it may not make money. Second, it is also related to the first point. That is, our science fiction movie fans in Europe and the United States may not accept it because this science fiction has religious aspects. There are too few things..."

"religion?"

"Wife Qianqian, don't think so much."

This guy Bai Shiqiu's big hands are starting to be dishonest... Didn't he talk about getting a good night's sleep?

Well, there is a cold dish in Northeast China that is famous throughout the country, that is Da Lapi, or colorful Lapi, which is mainly cucumber, but in fact, this dish contains shredded pork.

Bai Shiqiu is now the Northeastern style, and there must be some shredded pork in the vegetarian dishes. . .

In fact, there is another reason.

"Wife, think about it, what is a science fiction movie? It's human imagination. But in fact, it is an imagination, but it is also an extension of the world view. Do you understand what I say?"

"I understand your sister!" Qianqian was very angry and couldn't help but grab Lao Bai's big paw.

Bai Shiqiu had to say more, "To put it simply, the novel "The Three-Body Problem" is written in a model that surpasses European and American science fiction novels. Its theoretical basis, as I have said before, is the random theory. . Don’t underestimate this thing. This is a question of the origin of the world view. Do you understand it now?”

"Oh~~" Qianqian couldn't help but understand, "What you mean is that we keep the good things for ourselves. As for what happens outside, it has nothing to do with us. If foreigners want to believe in God, just believe in it. We don't believe it anyway. In this way, we will be stronger than them."

"Smart~" This guy Bai Shiqiu took the opportunity to take a sip.

Then this posture... Sujue is going to turn into a nunjue?

But Qianqian struggled again and said, "Old Bai! You damn ghost, tell me clearly why you want me to play that Cheng Xin!"

this. . .

Bai Shiqiu was frightened for a while. Could it be that Qianqian's wife saw this?

Cheng Xin, the Holy Mother.

So why did Qianqian come to star?
Of course... there is no other meaning in this, no!
Regarding the matter of Dongshan Villa, Bai Shiqiu must be tired anyway.

He is so tired because the 3GPP conference is about to be held in the Netherlands.

　Thank you everyone!Sincere thanks!
　　Well, it’s been raining lately, you black car guy...
