The battle for traffic in Chinese entertainment

Is there any suspense in Chapter 383?

Li Lili couldn't help but exclaim in her heart!
Li Lili didn’t watch science fiction movies much before. The last time she watched one was in 2014, not long after she broke up with her ex-best friend Wang Yu. She saw her friend Wang Yu say that Interstellar was good, so she went to watch it because she was bored.

It was really shocking to see the black hole appear in the universe at that time.

The special effects of "The Wandering Earth" are also great now!
and……

Li Lili carefully recalled the scene when she watched "Interstellar" and suddenly realized that this set of shots from the ground to space seemed to give her a greater shock than seeing the black hole at that time.

This is the story of the Chinese people!

From the beginning, it was all Chinese faces, Chinese language, in the underground city, Chinese school uniforms, girls blowing bubble gum in class, playing mahjong, going up to the surface, the CCTV building with its large shorts, the "millions of roads" in the transport truck, the "Beijing" on the roadside boundary marker...

All these are Chinese elements!

Li Lili’s previous opinion on Wolf Warrior 2 was that it was over-marketed and Xu Xing did benefit from patriotic sentiment.

But now, she is sure that reading China's own story will indeed make her feel more inspired.

Because it’s more immersive.

Such films could not be made in China before, but now that they are made, they should certainly be praised!

On screen, the plot progresses smoothly.

Liu Peiqiang in the space station is about to retire and return to Earth. On the ground, Liu Qi and Han Duoduo, who were having fun in their grandfather's car, were punished by "justice" for a car inspection and were sent to prison.

Grandpa Han Ziang went to rescue the person.

But at this moment, disaster suddenly struck.

Affected by the gravity of Jupiter, the planetary engine on Earth will be shut down and the Earth will collide with Jupiter in 37 hours.

The traces of civilization that were originally maintained by humans in the frozen apocalypse are once again collapsing.

The world is turned upside down and the sky is falling apart.

The transport vehicle escaped from the danger in many ways and drove into the wilderness.

In the screening room, everyone who was just laughing at Liu Qi, played by Xu Xing, finally caught his breath when he saw the wall cracked with one punch, causing an earthquake-like starry sky!

Under the gloomy sky, black smoke was curling, in the distance planetary engines stood majestically like mountains, transport planes roared past overhead, and traffic rushed forward on the icy and snowy ground to rush to the rescue.

Li Lili didn’t know if she had watched too little, but compared to the large cornfield in “Interstellar”, the detailed apocalyptic scene in “The Wandering Earth” felt too real to her!
Then the transport vehicle was temporarily requisitioned, and the group was forced to follow the flint carrier to Hangzhou to re-ignite the Hangzhou No. 1 engine there.

The map unlocks to a frozen mirage city, where the entire city is frozen into a large block of ice.

The conflict between Liu Qi and Liu Peiqiang was revealed. At that time, Liu Qi's mother Han Duoduo was suffering from a terminal illness and gave up treatment, so that Liu Qi and Han Ziang could both enter the dungeon.

Liu Qi always resented Liu Peiqiang.

The rescue team encountered another accident in Hai City due to the sudden increase in Jupiter's gravity. Han Ziang also died in Hai City. Liu Qi broke up with the rescue team and parted ways.

However, the rescue team's destination, the Hangzhou underground city, had been destroyed. The rescue team's thousands of miles of rush had made everything meaningless.

On the other side, Liu Qi's team soon encountered a distress signal, found a carrier that could be started, and finally reunited with the rescue team. The two sides once again transported Flint to the Sulawesi engine at the equator and embarked on an operation to rescue the earth.

Meanwhile, something unexpected happened in the space station. The artificial intelligence MOSS decided to abandon the Earth and defect with the space station. Liu Peiqiang forced himself to wake up and fight to save the Earth and the fate of mankind.

The planetary engines on Earth are fully operational again thanks to the saturation rescue efforts, but the Earth can no longer escape the capture of Jupiter's gravity and will soon disintegrate.

Jupiter, which is very close to the Earth, is extremely magnificent in the sky, but it is a death warrant for mankind.

A global announcement began on Earth, announcing the failure of the Wandering Earth plan. The Navigator Space Station will implement the Spark Plan and leave, ushering in the final doomsday for humanity on Earth.

When the plot progressed to a critical moment, there was no sound in the screening room that could obviously affect the viewing experience, only occasional low sighs and sobs.

Li Lili's eyes also became moist.

Is this the romantic suffering that Xingchu talks about?

All efforts in vain?
If the Hangzhou underground city is gone, the earth will be gone too.

……

"I can't even remember what you look like, you bastard. Now Jupiter is right in front of us. When can you come back?"

"From the first day of the Wandering Earth project, there is no going back."

Liu Qi and his son Liu Peiqiang were on Earth and the space station at the same time, looking at Jupiter and having a conversation in their hearts.

Liu Qi remembered that his father Liu Peiqiang said when he was a child that Jupiter was a big balloon. Suddenly, he came up with the idea of igniting Jupiter, so that the Earth could escape from Jupiter's gravity and fight for the last chance of survival for mankind.

The rescue team sets out again!
The cinema was excited again!
The plan proposed by Xing Shen will definitely be realized to save the earth and all mankind!

But soon, she started sobbing again.

The rescue team fought alone and faced numerous difficulties. Accidents kept happening at the engine base, and falling obstacles caused casualties on many occasions. Even Lao He, who had previously looked the most wretched and kept vomiting in the car, was killed after solving the hardware problem in the computer room.

Fortunately, the space station was finally contacted at this time and a global notice was issued. All other rescue teams that had originally given up hope gave up returning home to reunite with their families and turned around to head to the Sulaswi engine base.

All of humanity is united again!
Li Lili wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and couldn't help biting her fingers.

Finally, the ignition was successful!
The engine flames shoot towards Jupiter!!!

...Another accident happened: the height was not enough.

I’m really impressed!!!

Liu Peiqiang came up with another idea!
He decided to light up the Navigator Space Station to make up the last bit of altitude! To be the last match!

"Without humans, civilization is meaningless!"

Liu Peiqiang said his final farewell to Liu Qi, and the Navigator Space Station rushed towards the flames without hesitation.

The space station exploded and disintegrated.

The ignited Jupiter was extremely gorgeous, and countless flames in space poured down like a storm, like a devastating disaster.

But, humanity was saved.

The scene switches to three years later.

Everything is back on track on Earth.

“Although we don’t know what kind of home the new sun 4.2 million light years away will bring, from today on, the courage and perseverance of mankind will be forever engraved under the starry sky. This long cosmic journey of 2500 years, with both despair and hope, is known in history as the Wandering Earth Project.”

The blue flames of the planetary engines are like countless fires of life, enveloping the earth and dragging out long tails in the universe! Heading towards the future!

The movie ends.

Pa pa pa pa pa pa pa! ! ! !

The explosive applause in the screening room almost caught up with the sound of the shock wave from Jupiter being ignited and hitting the earth in the movie just now.

At the same time, the baby's breath couldn't help but shout.

“It’s so beautiful!!!”

“It looks so good!!!”

"Lucky God is awesome!!!"

“Is this the end????”

“I want to watch it again immediately!!!”

"Xu Xing, I love you!!!"

“Are there any Easter eggs???”

"Husband Liu Qi!!!"

“Box Office Champion!!!!”

“70 million!!!!”

"Lucky God ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

Inawen also shouted excitedly.

When I turned around, Li Lili beside me also happened to look over here.

Seeing each other's eyes moist with emotion from the movie, they both laughed.

Excited sisters hug.

"Lucky God is so invincible!"

Inawen sighed like a groan.

"Yes!"

Li Lili agreed.

"I want to watch it again!" Inawen said again.

"it is good!"

Li Lili agreed.

“Buy tickets, buy tickets!!!”

Inawen separated the hug and left the scene amid the heated discussion among the people around her, while she took out her cell phone and started buying tickets while yelling.

"Please buy them for me and I'll transfer the money to you later."

Li Lili took out her cell phone as she spoke.

There are already 387 chat records in the group. When did Bevido and Xia Mo become so talkative?

I flipped through the pages and saw that everyone was talking about "The Wandering Earth".

[Haven't you finished watching it yet? Is it really explosively good? ]

[Wow! The internet is really going crazy with the hype. Douban's Goose Group and the Melon Group are all over it! There are a lot of hype posts on the Oscars forum and the North American box office forum.]

[I’m going out! I can’t wait until night, I want to go to the cinema right away to watch “The Wandering Earth”! ! ! ! ]

[We chatted casually in the cinema and found out everyone was there to see The Wandering Earth!]

[Haven’t finished watching yet? Tell us about it now, but no spoilers!!!]

[My friend circle has also been flooded with messages about The Wandering Earth. Did they all go to watch the first show early in the morning? ? ? I never heard that they were all stars before! ]

[Many celebrities posted their ticket stubs, and they also rushed to see the movie early in the morning, and they all boasted about it! ]

[I saw someone saying that it is unjust if it doesn’t break 70 billion. Is it really that exaggerated? ]

[It really is! You guys can go in and watch it soon. 11 and I are also going in for a second viewing. You can see for yourselves. I can only say that you're all star-struck by me! [dog head]]

Li Lili replied.

[You two are out! I'll be in right away!]

How handsome is Yukimi in it? How good is the movie? Is it really better than "Interstellar"?

Li Lili thought about it and replied again.

[I think it's better than "Interstellar," so good that you'll overlook the handsomeness of the God of Fortune. It's truly a milestone for Chinese films!]

Li Lili feels that "The Wandering Earth" and "Interstellar" are like her current sister circle and her previous friendship with Wang Yu. They were once warm and dazzling, but now they are better and more suitable for her.

The former best friend is still too strong, like a foreign film.

……

When Xu Xing woke up, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Last night, Yu Murong and Qu Mingzhen went to bed early, so Xu Xing went out to meet up with Teacher Yang, and then went to pick up Reba and Aunt Zhiling after they finished their Spring Festival Gala performance. They had fun and had a lot of fun most of the night before falling asleep.

The three of them have been working together over the past two days, and the combination that was originally thought to be an incompatible one has become more and more interesting.

At first, Teacher Yang said she would stay up all night, but in the end she couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep first.

All three of them were still asleep.

The sunlight shines in, creating a large white patch.

The floor heating and air conditioning in the villa are turned on together, the temperature is sufficient and you don’t feel cold.

Xu Xing pulled his body out from the entangled limbs, got out of bed quietly, and searched for his cell phone.

Qu Mingzhen sent a message saying that Yu Murong knew that Xu Xing had gone out to find a woman last night, and that he did not get up early in the morning to go out and play as Xu Xing had left in the message at home.

I also asked Xu Xing if he wanted to go back for lunch.

Yu Murong didn't call or send a message.

Then, Sun Man, who was back home for the holiday, sent a summary of the first wave of online feedback on "The Wandering Earth" on WeChat.

Just took a look and found that they are all exaggerated.

Sun Man also added that she did not sort out those comments that were obviously made by haters who had not even watched the movie.

The first session has just ended. If you want to see more feedback, you have to wait until tonight or tomorrow.

【What are you busy with during the holidays? 】

Sent to Sun Man.

I also have an assistant now.

Sun Man replied.

Xu Xing: [Okay.]

Sun Man: [But it was indeed me who sorted it out, so let them take a break. I have nothing to do at home.]

Xu Xing: [Okay. Manman, you are so nice.]

Sun Man: [[Cute]]

Xu Xing: [[Hug]]

As soon as I sent it out, I was hugged by soft lips from below.

There was something unexpected, it was not Teacher Yang, but Aunt Zhiling.

But it might be because she is leaving the capital soon.

【[cute]】

Sun Man replied.

I didn’t hug Xu Xing.

He glanced up.

Teacher Yang, who had just woken up, had a charming look in her eyes and crawled over to hug me.

Reba is still sleeping.

Xu Xing stretched lazily in the sunshine, stroked their long hair and cheeks, and continued to "review memorials."

Reply to New Year’s greetings in batches first.

Then I opened the box office statistics app and took a look. The daily box office of "The Wandering Earth", which had a 20% screening rate, had exceeded million before noon, leading the market.

In fact, the first day's screening schedule is 25%, but many of them are prime time shows in the evening, and the statistics have not yet started.

The previous version of "The Wandering Earth" had only 11% of the screenings on the first day, but eventually made a comeback thanks to its reputation. The "Big Three" of "Crazy Alien", "Flying Life" and "The New King of Comedy" all had 19%-20% of the screenings.

Even with the addition of Wu Jing, who had a huge hit in "Wolf Warrior 2", the general consensus is that he benefited from patriotism before, and "The Wandering Earth" may not work.

Although the quality of the film itself was excellent, it failed to convince theaters to schedule more screenings.

In other words, the distributor did not get more screenings.

After several years of transition and cultivating the audience's habit of watching movies during the Spring Festival, the Spring Festival has completely replaced New Year's Day and become the most critical period of the Lunar New Year box office. The industry has begun to believe that entering the Lunar New Year box office is equivalent to making money.

Therefore, if you want to get more screenings, you have to pay the theaters.

And now, Xu Xing's presence adds the final say.

Maybe people really want to watch comedies during the Spring Festival. There has been no successful case of science fiction films before, and the cast of "Crazy Alien" is indeed scary.

However, Beijing Film Academy, which was in charge of "The Wandering Earth", still waved its hand and took 25% of the screening schedule.

"Crazy Alien" still got 28% of the screenings because it signed a guaranteed minimum of 20 billion yuan. "Speeding Life" and "The New King of Comedy" could only get 15% of the screenings each.

For all the remaining movies, including the masterpiece "Boonie Bears", Jackie Chan's "Detective Pu Songling", the Hong Kong film "Integrity", etc., you can only grab the last 25%.

Overall, this is an extremely busy Spring Festival period this year. Xu Xing and Wu Jing teamed up for "The Wandering Earth" after "Wolf Warrior 2", Shen Teng's two films "Crazy Alien" and "Flying Life" were released together, and Wang Baoqiang partnered with Zhou Xingchi in "The New King of Comedy". The company also guaranteed a minimum box office of 28 billion for "Crazy Alien".

The new and old comedy kings, traffic-injected capital and real filmmakers are all topics that fans and black fans talk about with relish in the fan circles and rice circles. Ordinary audiences also felt dazzled before the Spring Festival period began, as there was so much to watch.

"The Wandering Earth" is coming in strong, and it seems to be destined to be the champion of the time period, and there is even hype that it will take the historical box office championship.

But there are also many people who believe that "Crazy Alien" will be like Ning Hao's previous movies, "making a big profit with a small investment", and eventually make a comeback with its quality, slapping the face of Xingchu and the capital behind him.

Or some other dark horse will emerge.

But is there really any suspense?
