They have become goddess husbands, who needs a superstar system

Chapter 606: Racing all the way (two-in-one)

Needless to say, the status of "The Wandering Earth 2" in the minds of movie fans across China goes without saying. Even if "The Truman Show" has replaced "The Wandering Earth" to become the highest-grossing film in the world among Yang Yi's works, and even won the second place in the global annual box office and won the Palme d'Or at Cannes last year, it still cannot surpass "The Wandering Earth". ” has become the pride of Chinese movie fans.

After all, "The Truman Show" is a movie shot in Hollywood, and the bloodline doesn't feel that pure.

Moreover, "The Wandering Earth" is the historical box office champion in the Chinese mainland film market, and has set a record for overseas box office for mainland Chinese films. It is also the absolute benchmark for Chinese science fiction blockbusters. It is a sign that Chinese science fiction films, and even Chinese films, have entered the era of industrialization. Big milestone.

These honors, these prides, are something that "The Truman Show" cannot give.

Therefore, "The Wandering Earth 2" is about to be released. Even if Mumu Film and Television does not promote it, there are still countless fans enthusiastically cheering for it, and they are eagerly looking forward to it, and they will immediately participate in the pre-sale of the movie.

In fact, the competition in this Spring Festival stall is also very fierce. Needless to say, Rong Xin is an old rival. Great directors such as Shi Yanqiu and Yu Yixuan have new films released, and even Lu Hongfeng, a frequent visitor to the Lunar New Year stall, has been added!

Lu Hongfeng was a leading figure in Chinese New Year movies in the early years. He dominated the film industry and won the box office championship of the Lunar New Year movies and the annual box office while Yang Yi was still studying.

Li Mengfei did participate in his movies, but that was when Lu Hongfeng had passed his peak, his level had declined drastically, and all of the movies he made were bad.
Lu Hongfeng now makes movies every three to four years. He has not made a new movie for a long time, and everyone has almost forgotten about him.

However, after all, he is a great director in mainland China's film industry who had great success back then. After Lu Hongfeng's new film was confirmed to be released during the Spring Festival, many media rushed to report on it. Regardless of whether netizens discussed it enthusiastically or not, he was on the list anyway. Hot search.

"Damn it, Moss! Moss is already here. Did it start causing trouble so early? When that black and red camera raised its head, I got goosebumps!"

However, these sour remarks cannot affect the continued rapid growth of the pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Earth 2"!
Because the several trailers released one after another for "The Wandering Earth 2" are enough to awaken the memories of viewers who watched "The Wandering Earth" back then, and it is enough to make those fans who like "The Wandering Earth" and sci-fi movies excited and party Woke up!

I don’t know if the self-media on the Internet are paid to be used as mouthpieces for other film companies. Now looking at the pre-sale box office results of "The Wandering Earth 2", each one is more weird than the last, and even "predicted" "The Wandering Earth 2" Later, the box office and word-of-mouth hit the street.

"The Chinese film market is really driven by the waves behind the Yangtze River, and the younger generations are really formidable. Yang Yi, Wu Nan, Rong Xin, these young filmmakers have become the backbone of the Spring Festival and National Day films. Lu Hongfeng can only I lament that I am getting old. However, I think we can still look forward to Lu Hongfeng's movies. He is the first commercial film director to master the Spring Festival. His "Turn the Tide", which he has been honing for several years, may surprise us. "

The pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" continues to surge. With less than five days before the Spring Festival, its pre-sale box office has reached million, and this number still has a lot of room for growth!
The reason is very simple. Today, the crew of "Turn the Tide" issued an announcement and made a very difficult decision - to withdraw from the Spring Festival schedule!

It really makes people feel that this Spring Festival stall is more lively, star-studded and exciting.

"I just said that artificial intelligence is not trustworthy. Now we have AI everywhere. Why do you think the story in "The Wandering Earth" is our future?"

The pre-sale box office of Lu Hongfeng's "Turn the Tide" was only a measly 30 million yuan.
""The Wandering Earth 2" is the sequel to "The Wandering Earth". The IP is well-known, so the audience is naturally willing to pay for it. However, no one knows whether "The Wandering Earth 2" will be good or not. The second part of "Once Upon a Time" cannot meet the audience's expectations. , there is a precedent for the box office performance in the early stage to drop sharply in the later stage. It is still unclear who will win the box office champion during the Spring Festival."

From the first day of pre-sale, "The Wandering Earth 2" has shown overwhelming momentum. The pre-sale box office performance has been soaring, leaving the second place behind by countless blocks!
January 2th is only the fourteenth day since the pre-sale started. Just after the halfway point of the pre-sale schedule, the pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Earth " has exceeded million!

In addition, each production team is working hard to promote it. They arrange their own celebrity representatives to constantly appear on TV, short video platforms, and even offline exchange meetings. News and topics are constant.

On this day, the second-ranked film "Gentle Dreamer" starring Rong Xin only reached 120 million.

Therefore, it stands to reason that the competition encountered by "The Wandering Earth 2" is unprecedentedly strong, but its pre-sale box office results do not seem to be affected at all!

"The pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" has exceeded 2 million, but this is far from being happy for this movie. You know, the investment cost of "The Wandering Earth 8" is higher than that of "The Wandering Earth" It should be higher. There are rumors that it is million, and there are also rumors that it is more than one billion. More special effects and more investment will definitely bring greater cost pressure. If the movie's reputation collapses, it will not make as much money later. The more money, the greater the pressure on Yang Yi will be."

"Ahhh, "The Wandering Earth 2" is actually the prequel of "The Wandering Earth"! I wonder why Liu Peiqiang was resurrected!"

"It seems that the opposition mentioned in the first film and the Moon Crisis were all filmed. Director Yang is very good at digging holes and filling them in. He is a good person!"

In fact, it's not just "Turn the Tide". In the past half month, two movies have been officially announced to be withdrawn due to poor pre-sale box office performance and their pessimistic attitude towards the box office performance of the Spring Festival.

"It's illegal to put the names of these three leading actors, Yang Yi, Li Mengfei and Wu Nan, on the poster of "The Wandering Earth 2". Whether the movie is good or not is another matter. The audience didn't even think about it and just grabbed the tickets first. Don’t brag that Yang Yi’s movie doesn’t use big stars, right? He and Li Mengfei are the biggest stars, not to mention Wu Nan is invited this time!”

"The special effects of "The Wandering Earth 2" are even better than the first one! I heard that Director Yang invested more than one billion to many domestic special effects companies and became their shareholders. Now our domestic science fiction films are really going to go beyond The better the shots!”

"The planetary engine is so cool. Can we finally see its construction process this time?"

However, the previous two films had little influence, and "Turn the Tide" not only failed to turn the tide, but also made a huge splash, shocking many people in the industry and even netizens who were obsessed with it.

""The Wandering Earth 2" is so awesome. Just look at the pre-sale box office. "Turn the Tide" hasn't even received a fraction of what others have received so far. How can we compete with others? It's not like the audience just buys whichever director has the most seniority. Tickets for home.”

"It's a pity that Lu Hongfeng gave up the Spring Festival schedule, because apart from the Spring Festival schedule, few schedules have such a high box office level. Doesn't he want to release "Turn the Tide" on the National Day schedule? There is also the third installment of Once Upon a Time on National Day. (Lu Hongfeng: Yang Yi is everywhere, it’s so annoying!)” “It’s better to withdraw early than to withdraw late. At least the movie hasn’t been released yet, and no one can rate it until it is released during the Spring Festival. , after seeing something wrong at the box office, it’s too late to withdraw it! If others have seen it and know it’s not good, how can other audiences pay for it if it’s released in the future?”

"Times have changed, and Lu Hongfeng is getting older. He knows very well that he can't handle these young people, so he simply withdraws from the film to save his last bit of face."

"It's so funny, why don't Lu Hongfeng just go to the video website and make on-demand videos for a few months to see if he can make some money? If you don't dare to fight head-on during the Spring Festival, then this movie probably won't be worth watching."

"Hey, "Turn the Tide" has been withdrawn. Does that mean that Director Yang's "The Wandering Earth 2" can add more films to its schedule?"

Indeed, when the total number of film resources is fixed, no one will feel sorry for the films that leave. On the contrary, those who stay will celebrate because they can carve up the resources that originally belonged to those who left and gain more benefits from them!

Of course, "The Wandering Earth 2" can take the opportunity to increase its film schedule, and it has the largest increase among all Spring Festival movies.

The theaters have noticed that "The Wandering Earth 2" is very popular, and there is no one among the senior executives who has watched the film who is not deeply shocked and loves it!

Therefore, we must increase the film schedule for "The Wandering Earth 2", seriously!

It is responsible for the box office of this Spring Festival!
Therefore, on February 2032, 2, which is New Year's Eve and the eve of the movie's release, the pre-sale box office of "The Wandering Earth 10" exceeded 2 million, far ahead among all Spring Festival movies!

"Gentle Dreamer" starring Rong Li has actually received a certain amount of stimulation, with pre-sale box office reaching more than 2 million, but the gap between "The Wandering Earth " and "The Wandering Earth " is still quite obvious. Not to mention other movies.

Finally, on the first day of the new year, the Spring Festival season of the movie market kicked off, and countless movie fans poured into the cinema to watch "The Wandering Earth 2".

It is worth mentioning that after today’s box office data was fully calculated, many filmmakers knew that the proportion of films scheduled for “The Wandering Earth 2” was actually 32%!

This is the Spring Festival stall!
"The Wandering Earth 2" alone accounts for 32% of the film schedule resources. How can other movies survive?
Putting aside these things, Zeng Yaohong slipped out of the house early and made an appointment with his girlfriend Zhuo Tingting to watch "The Wandering Earth 2".

Both of them are big fans of Broken Ball, and, in a sense, they fell in love because of the movie Broken Ball.

Because Zeng Yaohong is a student of Beijing Airlines. Although he and Peng Wenqiao are not from the same college and do not know each other, his tutor was involved in the design of the carrier vehicle for "The Wandering Earth", and Zeng Yaohong also joined the research team. Later, when "The Wandering Earth" was released, Zeng Yaohong, like Peng Wenqiao and others, received coupons given to them by Mumu Film and Television.

During the Spring Festival that year, Zeng Yaohong posted on his WeChat Moments to ask who wanted to watch "The Wandering Earth". His original intention was to give his extra tickets to classmates who wanted to watch it. Unexpectedly, his junior high school classmate Zhuo Tingting responded to him below. She didn't want movie tickets, but because she liked the movie, she started chatting with Zeng Yaohong.

Zhuo Tingting was a girl that Zeng Yaohong had a crush on when he was in junior high school, but she was young and ignorant and had no success.

The two reconnected with each other because of "The Wandering Earth". Although Zeng Yaohong gave away all the extra tickets, he later bought movie tickets at his own expense and invited Zhuo Tingting to watch them together. The more the two chatted, the more they became more and more speculative. , and they came together later.

Zhuo Tingting did not go to university in Beijing. She stayed in Guangdong Province and studied medicine at a university in the provincial capital. However, the long-distance relationship seemed not to be an obstacle to them. By the time "The Wandering Earth 2" was released, their relationship was still in a very sweet and passionate stage!
"This camera is very weird!" Zhuo Tingting reached into Zeng Yaohong's arms to get the popcorn. She looked at it and murmured to Zeng Yaohong.

"Well, like Moss, it has red light and is still shining!" Zeng Yaohong nodded in approval.

What’s weird is not just the traffic cameras on the ruins of the street, but also the crows flying past.

"Do you think Moss will show up now? Doesn't it mean that a great director will never randomly arrange a meaningless shot?" Zhuo Tingting is very smart. She knows how to analyze the director's hidden hints under the water from the lens language. .

"It's really hard to say. There has been speculation on the Internet that all crises are caused by Moss, and that the wandering of the earth is also a big conspiracy carefully planned by it." Zeng Yaohong shook his head.

"Hey, this Liu Peiqiang's master looks so familiar!" Zhuo Tingting's attention was slightly attracted by Zhang Peng, who was performing the mission with Liu Peiqiang.

Zeng Yaohong took a closer look and laughed: "It's Ma Shiqing! Master Ma, Sun Yitong, Zhao Ruilong, have you forgotten?"

In "The Wandering Earth 2", Yang Yi cast Ma Shiqing to play the role of Zhang Peng, originally played by Sha Yi.

Ma Shiqing is actually very similar to Xu Xiaoqiang. The two of them are people who can bring their own comedy effect without much performance. For him to play Zhang Peng can indeed bring out some of Sha Yi's sense of humor.

"I know that Ma Shiqing acted in "The Wandering Earth 2", but in the trailer, wasn't his hair all white? I don't understand this outfit and makeup, and I really can't tell!" Zhuo Tingting sighed.

"It seems that instead of makeup, "The Wandering Earth 2" has a technology similar to AI face-changing, but it is more high-end, that is, the actors are directly asked to cooperate with the performance. The sensors on the body will record a lot of data, and then through the iteration of AI, their faces will finally be changed. The faces can be made into the required age effects, including those of old people, young people, and those in the prime of life. "Zeng Yaohong has watched all the trailers and promotional videos of "The Wandering Earth 2".
