China Entertainment started from Nortel 2002

Chapter 830 Expired?

“Look up at the stars with The Wandering Earth.”

Not only did the People's Daily publish an article, but other official media also followed suit and published articles one after another.

Xinhua News Agency even published "Why We Need Science Fiction".

Li Mu posted a long article on major social media platforms around the world about the details of the filming from preparation to release and the efforts of the crew, which can also be regarded as a promotion for "The Wandering Earth".

Cameron then retweeted and congratulated:
"Li, I wish you good luck in your space journey around the earth, and I also wish the development of Chinese science fiction films a smooth journey."

“Oh my god, who else is there for this interaction?”

"As expected, they are the first and second highest-grossing single-movie movies in the world. This is a thumbs up from God of Cards."

"."

After netizens learned about the news through media reports, they had heated discussions.

"The Wandering Earth" is about to enter its second weekend. It has accumulated six days of box office revenue before this. Although Friday has not yet passed, it has already reached nearly 30 billion yuan at the box office and is expected to break the billion mark on Saturday.

Second, this weekend will be an important time node to determine where this movie can go.

After all, after the explosion in the second week, the explosive power naturally decreased, and it progressed steadily. It was impossible to make 400 to 500 million in a day.

The industry is paying close attention to this, and of course the cinemas are the most concerned, after all, this movie is their current financial sponsor.

"Please arrange all the prime time slots for me."

"The film schedule will be increased by another 1%"

"."

The heads of various theater chains were now instructing their subordinates to make arrangements for the weekend starting tomorrow.

At this time, at home, the little boy was secretly stuffing a candy into his mouth in a corner where Li Mu and Liu Yifei didn't know, and then walked out happily, ready to play with Ala.

However, Liu Yifei, who was sitting on the sofa, seemed to notice the little bun's mouth moving. Then she thought about it, smiled and waved:

"Baby, come here."

The little bun looked obviously nervous, but he still walked over without saying anything.

Li Mu also noticed it and couldn't help but smile. Isn't this just like when he was a kid and was afraid of being discovered when he was eating secretly, so he refused to speak.

"Open your mouth. Where did you get that candy from?" Liu Yifei held the little bun in her arms and pretended to be angry, but her anger had no deterrent effect. At least the little bun was not afraid at all.

After all, even when he gets angry, he still seems so gentle.

"You've eaten it several times today, and it's still not enough. Be careful about tooth decay when you grow up." Liu Yifei gently poked the little bun's arm with her finger.

The little bun spit out the candy and said in a baby voice, "I'm not afraid."

"Treating cavities is much more painful than getting an injection."

"I'm not afraid!" The little boy's voice was obviously a little weaker.

But Liu Yifei noticed that the candies in the little bun's hand did not seem to be the ones she had collected.

"Baby, where did you get this candy? Tell mom, I remember there is no such candy in the new candies I bought." Liu Yifei couldn't help but ask.

"Oh!" Little Baozi reluctantly took Liu Yifei to his little room and opened a small drawer, where a bag of candy was hidden.

"Okay, I'll just hide a pack." Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry when she saw this. Then she picked it up and looked at it, patting her chest. Fortunately, it wasn't expired, but it was only two months away.

Back in the living room, Liu Yifei held the little bun and pointed to the number on the candy bag and explained:

"Did you see that? This candy was produced in 2018, which is last year. Generally speaking, the shelf life is only one year, which means it will expire this year. You can't eat expired food."

"Why?" The little bun obviously didn't quite understand.

"Because if you eat expired food, bad things will happen, such as needing injections, or in serious cases, you may get sick and need to be hospitalized."

Hearing Liu Yifei talking about the hospital and injections, the little girl obviously took it more seriously. After all, that was the thing she hated the most. Then, she didn't know what she was thinking about, and she quickly got down from Liu Yifei's arms and trotted back to her room.

“???” Liu Yifei was stunned for a moment, then looked at Li Mu.

Li Mu also shook his head with some doubt.

Then the little bun came running over with a stack of RMB, looking very sad.

He took one from the top and looked at both the front and back. Finally, his big eyes seemed to be fixed on the word 2015. He asked with a wronged and nervous look:

"Mom, is my money expired?"

Then he handed a 100-yuan note to the confused Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei looked at the words "2015" and couldn't help but blurt out, "2015, it seems to have expired."

"Wow, wow, wow!" Without any expectation from the two, the little boy suddenly burst into tears.

"Woo woo woo, the money for our nest has expired." This made Li Mu stunned.

When Li's mother heard the crying, she rushed over and felt very distressed when she saw the little boy crying.

"Hey, why are you crying? Who bullied you?"

"Grandma, my money has expired. I can't buy anything now." The little boy was still crying in Mother Li's arms, and he couldn't stop crying.

Mother Li didn't react for a while, and then she realized that the little boy was talking about the problem of expired money.

"Why don't you two tell her?" Mother Li was at a loss whether to laugh or cry for a moment.

"You rushed over before we even had time." Li Mu shrugged. Li's mother's reaction was too fast.

"You made her cry. Come back quickly. I was wondering why she was crying for no reason." Mother Li also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Baby, your money can still be used to buy food." Liu Yifei quickly stopped the little boy from crying.

The little girl's not-so-thick eyelashes were stained with tears, and they fluttered one by one, with confusion written all over her eyes.

Li Mu also quickly explained, and finally explained it clearly to the little bun, but the little bun seemed to still have questions:
"Dad, why can't we buy seven expired candies? If the money is expired, can we still buy seven ducks?"

The little bun spoke word by word quite fluently, but her language organization was obviously not very good. However, both Li Mu and Liu Yifei understood what she meant.

However, both of them felt confused for a moment, not knowing how to answer. Finally, Li Mu came over, picked up a bill, and pointed to the spot where 2015 was:

"Your money has not expired, this is not the expiration date"

Then Li Mu also complained about Liu Yifei, "Why are you saying it's expired when you have nothing to do?"

"I just didn't react for a moment, so I slipped up."

Liu Yifei was a little embarrassed for a moment. She spoke too quickly and forgot about it afterwards. As a result, the little kid thought that the money she had worked so hard to earn during the New Year had expired.

You know, the little girl now knows that money can buy her favorite candies. If you tell her that all her candies are gone, she will cry her eyes out.

"Oh, you have saved a lot of money. Show it to mom."

Liu Yifei was just about to play a joke on Xiao Baozi, but Xiao Baozi nervously put away his money and then trotted back to his little bedroom, seemingly planning to hide it in a place only he knew.

"Where is he hiding?" Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he saw the little bun.

"It should be in the drawer of the bottom cabinet." Liu Yifei responded confidently.

Li Mu was a little surprised, "Huh? You know this too?"

Liu Yifei glanced ahead. Although the little bun hadn't come back yet, she still cautiously moved closer and whispered in Li Mu's ear, "Last time I accidentally saw her carefully take it out from there, counted it, and put it back."

"Hahaha!" Li Mu couldn't help but laugh when he heard Liu Yifei's words. This was probably how a child protects his money.

"Just like a little money-grubber."

"It's okay. It's good to have financial awareness."

"."

By a little after 5.2 o'clock that evening on Saturday, the cumulative box office had reached over million yuan, which really shocked the industry.

Obviously, this movie has a great chance of breaking the long-lost 50 billion record, which is almost a foregone conclusion.

毕竟周六还能冲到5亿多的票房，周日大概率也在4-5亿之间，那么总体将会来到35亿到40亿之间。

Although there will not be such a high single-day box office in the remaining time, it can still maintain about 100 to 200 million for more than a week, and then enter a stable period to eat up the last bit of box office.

This is roughly how the total box office of a movie is estimated.

As expected, it took in 4.88 million yuan at the box office on Sunday, bringing the total box office to 36.3 billion yuan.
It is obviously only a day and a half away from breaking through 40 billion.

You should know that "Wolf Warrior 2" also took two weeks, a total of 15 days, to break the 40 billion mark, and although "The Wandering Earth" also seemed to have spanned two weeks, it was an incomplete two weeks because the first week was released on Sunday.

As expected, major media outlets rushed to report the news on Tuesday morning.

"The Wandering Earth broke through 10 billion in 40 days, and science fiction films ushered in a new spring."

"Setting a new record, The Wandering Earth, directed by Li Mu, surpassed the 40 billion mark in less than 10 days."

"."

People in the industry still find it hard to believe this data.

"Oh my God, who will break Director Li's box office record next?" Xing Aina, who was visiting Ning Hao's crew in the capital, couldn't help but feel shocked. It was obviously unbelievable that the box office record broke 10 billion in less than 40 days.

Ning Hao was also confused when he saw the data, and couldn't help but say, "Let Lao Li break his own movie."

At this time, Li Mu had just returned to the company and received a call from the Film Bureau.

Li Mu was a little surprised by the person who made the call. After all, if it was an ordinary matter, there was no need for Zhang Hongsen to call in person. He would just ask his subordinates to hand over the invitation letter or make a phone invitation and confirm it. But this time, it was obvious that things seemed to be unusual.
