Chapter 828 Crazy Box Office

"Li Mu is a guest on "Today's Film Review": Searching for the core of Chinese science fiction culture"

"The pre-sale of the sci-fi film "The Wandering Earth" directed by Li Mu exceeded 10 billion yuan a day before its release, setting a new record for domestic pre-sales."

"."

In the past two days, the film and television circles have been full of news about "The Wandering Earth", and Li Mu was also invited to do an interview on CCTV6 Film Channel's daily film and cultural review program "Today's Film Review".

And in this situation of fire, Liu Yifei suddenly found Li Mu in a hurry.

"Amu, did you reveal in a previous interview that Xiao Ming refused to play the role of Liu Peiqiang due to salary and schedule reasons?"

“???” Li Mu was confused after hearing what Liu Yifei said. He heard every word clearly, but why was it so hard to understand when they were put together?

"Here, look." Liu Yifei handed over the phone, and the Weibo page was still on the screen.

Li Mu took a closer look and was shocked. I don’t know which netizen said that Li Mu had revealed in an interview that Huang Xiaoming refused to play the role of Liu Peiqiang because of the pay and schedule reasons.

Many netizens believed it because "The Wandering Earth" is currently very popular and this rumor has gained a lot of popularity.

Fortunately, there are many wise netizens who have debunked the rumors below.

"What the hell? It's impossible even if I use my brain to think about it?"

"Do you think he's just a nobody? That's Li Mu, and Huang Xiaoming rejected his movie. Is he crazy? Is Huang Xiaoming so stupid?"

"One look at it is fake, no explanation needed."

"."

But there are still many people on the Internet who believe it, and they have formed a movement and went to comment under Huang Xiaoming's post.

"I dizzy!" Li Mu felt a little dizzy. What kind of person is this? He is making up stories.

At the same time, Huang Xiaoming's agent quickly reported the matter to Huang Xiaoming.

"Huh?" Huang Xiaoming was also stunned for a moment, then complained, "Oh my god, can I still push for the role of Liu Peiqiang? Am I a fool? If you want to make up a rumor, you have to make it more convincing. Can't you change the role?"

"Let me explain on Weibo, and the studio also issues a statement to refute the rumors. This is really weird." Huang Xiaoming was speechless.

The agent said with some concern, "Why don't we talk to Director Li about this?"

"Well, let's see later. Let's dispel the rumors first." Huang Xiaoming quickly picked up the phone.

“I almost believed such a convincing rumor.

Last time it was the foot, this time it was fake words from the director. And could the editing be more convincing? You know that in the film and television industry everyone wants to act in Director Li's movies regardless of pay, and I complain that the pay is too low. This is totally off the mark.

I can't count the rumors over the years, what will happen next time? Stay tuned for the next time. By the way, Director Li, please consider me next time if there is a role. I don't care about the salary. @李牧."

Li Mu was also looking at his mobile phone at this moment. He saw the message Huang Xiaoming posted on Weibo within two minutes.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Ming posted on Weibo." Liu Yifei also came over to take a look.

"Hahaha, Brother Xiao Ming asks you to consider him." Liu Yifei touched Li Mu's arm and couldn't help laughing.

"If there is anything good, he will be thought of." Li Mu thought about it and commented below to refute the rumor.

"When did I say this? How come I didn't even know it? This is just a lie. Don't believe it. Oh, by the way, next time I find a suitable role, I'll call you @Huang Xiaoming."

"Director Li replied, so quickly." Huang Xiaoming said with some surprise, then took a look and couldn't help showing a happy expression.

"What did Director Li say?" The agent was also quite curious.

"It's nothing, I just thought that I would be the next suitable role. I didn't expect it to be a blessing in disguise." Huang Xiaoming felt that he was very lucky.

"Director Li's invitation makes these rumors worth it."

The agent was also overjoyed. This value is not comparable to that of ordinary roles. A movie like "The Wandering Earth" is obviously aimed at the peak box office.

"There is a line in your movie that I particularly like, 'One day, the ice on Lake Baikal will turn into water'. The truth is the same, it will surface sooner or later. Thank you Director Li Mu!"

Huang Xiaoming also replied quickly.

Li Mu saw it and then liked the comment. After all, if he continued to reply, there might be no end to it. However, Huang Xiaoming does have a high EQ and knows how to behave.

After this round of thanks, lines from "The Wandering Earth" were also put up online.

The netizens below were excited.

"Hahaha, Li Mu himself came out to refute the rumors!"

"I told you, this rumor is really stupid. If you were any other character, you wouldn't be so careless and outrageous!"

"If a lot of people pay to be in Li Mu's movie, I'm afraid a lot of people will give money to get a role, and still complain that the pay is too low. The person who spread the rumor is not smart enough."

"."

"The Wandering Earth" was released amid a lot of enthusiasm. The only regrettable thing was that the pre-sale failed to break 11 billion at the last minute and remained at 10.7 billion.

All major cinema chains have scheduled around 70% of the films, and the industry is unable to say anything.

"Haha, cool!"

"Last time, they kept complaining about Avengers 4 for a few days, but this time, they have nothing to say. Last time, it was from the United States, and this time it's from China. I want to see how they find excuses."

"."

The cinemas were also very unhappy with the pressure from public opinion last time, but now they can breathe a sigh of relief. Even though 70% of the screenings were given, there was still no noise. This exaggerated screening rate made the movies that were still being shown secretly complain, while the movies that were postponed for a few days were a little numb.

Although they have given a 30% screening schedule, I'm afraid that given the current situation, few people will be willing to watch their movies.

However, the rest of the summer movies are very exciting, because if the behemoth "The Wandering Earth" can completely ignite the summer movies, it will be a huge benefit for the movies that will be released in late July and August.

Because consumption is inertial,

However, at this time, many netizens who were slow to realize the situation were complaining.

"Oh my god, all the seats for the past few days are sold out, leaving only the corner seats in the first or second row. Oh my god, these pre-sales are so outrageous."

"Nonsense, who told you not to buy in advance? Didn't you see that the pre-sale has exceeded 10 billion? Buy it in the last few days. Forget about the first two or three days. They will definitely be sold out."

"."

There are also some people online who have found ways to buy first-day and second-day tickets.

Most people want a good seat, but with the show being so popular, where can you find a good seat? The only seats available for each show are the leftovers.

Managers of major cinema chains suddenly felt as if it were Chinese New Year.

In the early morning of July 7st, the industry was paying close attention to the first-day performance of this science fiction blockbuster produced by Mengying Media.

As everyone expected, Maoyan Professional Edition refreshed the data in the first place, with the first-day box office exceeding 7 million.

This data is truly astonishing.

"Oh my god, this is outrageous. I thought it was outrageous that the pre-sale exceeded 10 billion, but it actually broke the 7 million mark on the first day."

"It's really hot now. Too hot."

"."

The crazy data was instantly posted on major websites by the media to attract huge traffic.

On the morning of July 7st, compared to the excitement among netizens online, people in the industry were more shocked.

"Director Li's box office is outrageous." Zhou Yun was at home with Jiang Wen and the children. When she saw the news, she couldn't help but be surprised.

"Breaking 6 million." Jiang Wen shook his head. "I thought million was enough, but I didn't expect it to be million more."

Jiang Wen was obviously a little bit unbelievable about this number.

"So you are planning to prepare a new movie?" Zhou Yun asked immediately upon seeing this.

"Lao Li's record is difficult. Even if I shoot it, I probably won't be able to reach his record, not to mention that I don't have any inspiration at all right now."

"."

But at the same time, Liu Yifei began to worry about Xiao Baozi's kindergarten.

"What should I do? What if the little kid can't learn well?"

As the beginning of all parents’ worries, children’s learning is always a major pain point.

"If you can learn, then learn. If you can't learn, then eat more!"

Li Mu held the back of his head with both hands. Although he also hoped that the little kid would have good studies in the future, he was not the kind of person who only cared about studying.

In Guangdong, what is advocated is that there are 360 ​​professions and every profession has its top talent. If you can learn something, that's the best. If you can't learn something, you can still work in a factory.

"Uh, aren't we being irresponsible by doing this?" Liu Yifei asked doubtfully.

"Why, can you learn for her?" Looking at the little kid playing carefree not far away, Li Mu couldn't help but asked with a smile.

"It seems so." Liu Yifei muttered.

"Which kindergarten shall we go to?"

"Let's go with the one that's close by, the one in the villa area. There's no need to look for the best one. This one is good. Maybe I can make some more friends with the kids nearby."

The kindergarten for little Baozi in September has been decided.

However, Li Mu also knew that he would only be able to attend kindergarten for a few days before having to stay at home.

At this time, the new promotion of "Robotech" began in full swing again, but what was different from the past was that this time it began to transform into doomsday love + science fiction theme + family and country feelings.

Wow, the latter two are exactly the elements of "The Wandering Earth". Wow, it can be said that it has packaged itself perfectly.

In order to highlight the doomsday love, Lu Han and Shu Qi are also placed on the poster. The look between them seems to be the difference between life and death.

There are just endless complaints.

"Love is fine, but I don't think Lu Han and Shu Qi have a good match."

"I'm drunk. Lu Han and Shu Qi, to be honest, with the age difference between them, Shu Qi can definitely be Lu Han's mother. Let's see their love story?"

"."

However, the more people complained, the more excited CTS became. After all, this meant that the audience was paying close attention to the movie "Shanghai Fortress".

In fact, this is true. After all, as a science fiction film released during the summer vacation, "The Wandering Earth" broke 7 million on the first day. The audience is more or less looking forward to the next science fiction film.

It’s just that this official propaganda is really making people increasingly dissatisfied.
