Chapter 829 Overseas Opinions, Mission
Compared to "Shanghai Fortress" which is constantly riding on the popularity, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" is taking a steady approach and has used all kinds of new media channels.

The various images in the movie have also received great attention.

Because the characters in "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World" are different from the settings in the old story text in terms of appearance and inner personality traits, it makes people feel extremely curious.

Especially Nezha, who has changed his previous image of an innocent and energetic young man and was set as an ugly child with dark circles under his eyes and a gloomy expression. His sloppy posture and exaggerated demeanor perfectly display the image of a bad child.

When many viewers saw it on Weibo, Douyin and other channels, they couldn't help but ask: "Is this Nezha?"

At this time, Li Ruigang from Chinese Culture also called to announce the good news.

As a domestic science fiction film with Chinese culture, "The Wandering Earth" is naturally the national team's move to enter the overseas market.

"Director Li, great news. The movie has received very good word of mouth and has sold out in areas with a large Chinese population." Li Ruigang's voice was filled with excitement.

The reason why Chinese culture has gradually gained some popularity in recent years is all thanks to the support of these blockbusters.

"The Wandering Earth" will obviously be one of the keys to supporting Chinese culture to continue to expand overseas distribution.

"As for Southeast Asia, there's nothing surprising about this." Li Mu said with a faint smile.

As for Southeast Asia, let’s not talk about Li Mu first. Even other big domestic directors have a certain degree of confidence. After all, domestic culture has always crushed the other side.

"Director Li, I haven't finished yet. Currently, the film has been screened in Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and has received excellent reviews and box office. People have a very high recognition of you, and many people watch it just for your name. We haven't fully rolled out the film in the United States yet, and it's only been screened in some states. We are working with Wanda's AMC Cinemas to screen it nationwide in a few days.

I expect that domestic media will soon report on the foreign media’s comments.”

Li Ruigang said slowly, his optimism for "The Wandering Earth" was obvious in his words.

As time goes by, the data for the second day of "The Wandering Earth" also came out. Because the second day was Monday, a working day, although the box office failed to break 7 million, it still stopped at more than 5 million. In two days, it directly reached the 12 billion mark, and it was only a little bit away from 13 billion.

This box office result really stunned the industry.

“It’s even faster than Avengers 4.”

"Another movie that has made over 40 billion, and I don't know where it will stop."

"How much money can this make? I heard that it is also in full swing overseas, and the data is encouraging."

"."

At this time, major media have already released screenshots and comments from overseas word-of-mouth.

"Are the cookie-cutter American blockbusters no longer needed? China doesn't need Hollywood!" - The New York Times

"If China can make such films independently, they won't need Hollywood imports. As China's production becomes more blockbuster, Hollywood blockbusters are no longer so special on a global scale." - The Hollywood Reporter

"The Wandering Earth may be the best science fiction film of 2019." - Australian film critic Travis Johnson.

"The Wandering Earth shows us the similarities and differences between Chinese and American values." - American technology news website "Critical Point".

"As an Indian science fiction fan, I like Li Mu's movies very much. I just want to congratulate China for producing such a movie and having such a director. I am very happy to see a work that is different from traditional Hollywood movies."

"."

The various global media reviews, film critic reviews and netizen reviews really made the domestic audience feel very comfortable watching the film.

"Tsk tsk tsk, that little Korean is still jealous, hahaha, still mentioning that their director won the Palme d'Or this year, which is not worse than our sci-fi film. It's so funny. We have two Palme d'Or!"

"It's rare for the little Japanese to admit it. We are impressed by this. It's great to have Li Mu."

"Hollywood is feeling the crisis, which is rare."

"."

I have to say that seeing netizens and media from other countries praising something does indeed arouse a sense of national pride in the country.

Moreover, "The Wandering Earth" received a high score of 8.5 on the famous American Internet Movie Database (IMDb) website.

Many netizens praised the Chinese science fiction films for their grand background settings, touching scenes, and the tone of all mankind working together to save the earth.

Now, the domestic box office has started to change drastically again, and it is changing upwards.

"Nothing to say, second look!"

"I'm so stupid, I couldn't even buy the first movie ticket."

"Forget it, forget it. The corner position is the corner position. I accept it."

Amid the overwhelming praise from netizens around the world, the movie-watching craze has been pushed to a climax.

"Brother, you're putting a lot of pressure on me." Guo Fan and Li Mu couldn't help but feel a lot of pressure when they were doing a promotional activity together.

"What's the big deal? Don't you have the confidence to do better?"

"Of course there is."

"That's it, just do it. Don't worry about the budget. Have you hired good experts?" Li Mu asked with a smile, and waved and greeted the audience at the event.

"We have invited more than 20 expert teams, including 19 scientific advisors from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. I feel like I won't be able to get a say in the subsequent discussions."

"If you can't get a word in, then just listen. With their help in perfecting the overall world view and scientific view of The Wandering Earth, the second part will be more solid." Li Mu nodded slightly. "Yeah!" Guo Fan also nodded slightly.

Wu Jing and Qu Chuxiao in the front were receiving cheers from fans. The cinema roadshow was packed with people.

Driven by various emotions, the box office on Tuesday, a weekday, reached a new level, directly reaching 6.5 million yuan, which was only tens of millions away from the high on the first day, but the total box office accumulated to 20 billion yuan.

This weekday's counter-trend rise really surprised and delighted all major cinema chains, and they are even increasing their screening schedules.

“Are you going to let people live with 75% of the screenings?”

"Another Avengers 4. Too bad I can't tell you about it this time."

"Fortunately, the release was postponed for a few days, but that doesn't help."

"."

People in the industry are also talking about this, but theaters only look at the data. After all, 85% of the market share was contributed by "The Wandering Earth", and not adjusting 80% is already a big deal.

When Li Mu returned from an event in the capital, he found Tang Yan was there too, chatting and laughing with Liu Yifei, and no one knew what they were talking about.

"Director Li!"

Li Mu smiled and nodded, then after a brief chat, he did not disturb the two.

It was late in the evening when Liu Yifei walked into the bedroom and jumped onto the bed.

"Be gentle, the bed has collapsed because of you."

Li Mu couldn't help but find it funny when he saw this. Liu Yifei still had the temperament of a little girl.

But Li Mu feels that this might be the best state for Liu Yifei, because maintaining a young mentality will make people live happier.

"By the way, what did Tang Yan say to you just now? She was so mysterious."

Li Mu was also a little curious, because when Li Mu was chatting just now, the two seemed to be hesitant to talk and seemed a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, actually it's nothing. It's just that I'm embarrassed to tell you if Yanyan is here." Liu Yifei lay on Li Mu's back. "Yanyan found out that she is pregnant, and asked me to learn about my experience of pregnancy."

"No wonder!" Li Mu suddenly realized.

"What a pity! By the time Yanyan gives birth, our little one will be over four years old."

Liu Yifei felt it was a pity. After all, due to the age difference, it was difficult for the children to play together. Only children of similar age could play together.

"Given our daughter's personality, she won't have to worry about not having friends. She should be able to find a lot of good friends in kindergarten."

Li Mu smiled and stroked Liu Yifei's hair to comfort her.

"Uh-huh."

There is no doubt that before mid-to-early July will be the time for "The Wandering Earth".

The People's Daily also published an article commenting on "The Wandering Earth": "The Wandering Earth" has raised the level of expectations. We look forward to seeing more Chinese values ​​​​and Eastern concepts extend into the realm of human imagination.

Today's Chinese science fiction creation has both the "shoulders of giants" of the tremendous scientific and technological progress in the 40 years of reform and opening up, and the "deep soil" of the public's growing yearning for science.
This review is quite a compliment.

The evening's news broadcast also reported on the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" overseas and the reviews from overseas audiences.

This series of reports has made "The Wandering Earth" a huge hit and has raised its profile in the film and television industry to a higher level.

After all, a movie that can make the official media speak must be a work that has influence on the current situation.

"Li Mu is almost becoming a regular guest in official media."

"You know what, when I think about it, it makes sense. I've won several awards and made several movies. It's a great honor."

"."

What Li Mu didn't know at this time was that several leaders in the Central Propaganda Department were discussing new cultural propaganda.

"Next year will be the 70th anniversary of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea. The task has been preliminarily finalized. We need to shoot a film in the film and television industry as a gift."

"In this regard, I think we can learn from the filming techniques of "My Motherland and Me". As a tribute film with historical significance, we can choose three great directors who have a very important position in the history of Chinese film to complete it. What do you think?"

"I agree!"

"Agree!"

“This film is produced by both state-owned and private enterprises. To benefit the people, private enterprises must also be fully involved in the production.

By the way, aren’t our science fiction films very popular recently? I think Li Mu is pretty good. He also directed Operation Red Sea, right? Several Navy leaders also highly praise him.”

"Understood, leader. The Film Bureau will arrange the task right away."

Zhang Hongsen stood up and took the task away, and one of the parts of the meeting ended.

Li Mu didn't know that the filming of several movies had made Mengying Media quite profitable in a certain sense.
