August 2nd.

The movie schedules of major cinemas in Beijing have undergone tremendous changes.

The screenings of "The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor," which originally occupied half of the market, were cut by more than half.

This fantasy action film, touted as a big-budget Hollywood production and featuring a host of big-name stars from both China and abroad, was highly anticipated before its release.

The distributors even spent a fortune on marketing and distribution, determined to rake in huge box office revenue in the Chinese market.

result.

It collided with "Wolf Warrior".

With the two films competing in the same period, the industry generally believed that "Wolf Warrior," which lacked any big-name stars, would be overshadowed by the Hollywood blockbuster even with the brand name of Xianyu Entertainment.

Even the invincible body of that old scoundrel Yu will be broken.

But reality slapped everyone hard in the face.

In the ticket halls of major cinemas, the line of people queuing to buy tickets for the movie "Wolf Warrior" stretched all the way to the door.

However, the theater showing "The Mummy 3" was sparsely populated, with less than a third of the people sitting there.

The box office figures for the first day are in.

Wolf Warrior raked in 62 million yuan.

The Mummy 3 only grossed 12 million.

The gap is huge.

By the next day, word-of-mouth had spread far and wide.

The internet is flooded with positive feedback.

"What kind of Hollywood blockbuster is this? It made me sleepy the whole time; the plot was awful!"

"Wolf Warrior is still the best! This is the kind of movie that Chinese people should be watching!"

"Let's go see it again! I watched it alone yesterday, but I'm bringing my parents today!"

Under such a terrifying word-of-mouth effect.

On its second day, "Wolf Warrior" saw a direct reversal in its box office performance, soaring to 68 million.

It was only online for two days.

Total box office revenue has surpassed 100 million!

This data shocked the entire domestic film industry into silence.

On a well-known movie forum.

Several paid public intellectuals and online trolls are still putting up a stubborn resistance.

"Wolf Warrior" merely caters to current nationalistic sentiments; the film itself has extremely low artistic value.

"Compared to The Mummy 3, its special effects are ridiculously crude."

These posts were bombarded with angry comments from netizens within five minutes of being published.

"Artistic value? What are you pretending to be, you traitor!"

"I pay to go to the movies to have fun, to see how awesome our Chinese soldiers are! And you call that pandering to emotions?"

"Crude special effects? Are you blind? That tank drift was real footage! Real footage, you know?!"

"How much money have you taken to bark like that? Go back to your master!"

These online trolls were immediately rendered powerless by the insults.

The momentum of "Wolf Warrior" is completely unstoppable.

......

For Yu Le, the recording of the first episode of "Where Are We Going, Dad?" has just ended.

After spending the next two days together, Yu Muchen seemed to be becoming the darling of the group of children.

This is not only due to Yu Le's father's excellent cooking skills, which can win the hearts of children with delicious food, but also because Dong Dong is the youngest, and has a good personality and pleasing appearance.

The entrance to Lingshui Village.

Several nanny vans were parked on the side of the dirt road.

Eason Chan is holding a bag.

Bao Bao took a White Rabbit milk candy out of her pocket and stuffed it into Dong Dong's hand.

"Dongdong, little brother, you have to come find me to play when you go back to the capital," Bao Bao said in a childish voice.

Dongdong generously accepted the candy, patted his chest, and confidently declared, "Yes! Definitely!"

After saying goodbye, Yu Le carried Dongdong into the car.

The car door closed.

The van drove out of Lingshui Village and headed towards the city of Beijing.

Enter the city.

The streets were lined with bright red five-star flags and Olympic rings.

Stickers featuring the five Fuwa mascots are displayed in the shop windows of shops of all sizes.

The car radio was playing "Beijing Welcomes You" on a loop.

The entire city was immersed in an atmosphere of extreme excitement and pride.

The century-old dream of the Olympics is within reach.

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Grand Garden Villas.

As soon as the car came to a stop, Liu Xiaoli came out of the house to greet her.

Dongdong pushed open the car door and, with her short legs, leaped into Liu Xiaoli's arms.

"mom!"

Liu Xiaoli picked up Dongdong and looked him over from left to right.

Her fair face had darkened by two shades and she had also lost a little weight.

"Oh my darling, how did you get it like this?" Liu Xiaoli frowned with heartache.

She turned and glared at Yu Le.

"You took him with you to escape the famine?"

Yu Le took the large suitcase out of the trunk.

He casually pushed it aside.

"Boys need to be toughened up and beaten more often."

Dongdong wriggled in Liu Xiaoli's arms and announced loudly.

"Mom! I'm amazing! I did a fantastic job on TV!"

Hearing her son's energetic voice and seeing that he was indeed lively and energetic, Liu Xiaoli finally felt a little relieved.

"My son is amazing!"

Dongdong broke free from Liu Xiaoli's embrace and looked around.

"Where's my sister? I still need to tell her!"

Liu Xiaoli stood up and took the coat from Yu Le's hand.

"Your sister isn't home. She went to rehearsal."

Yu Le walked to the sofa, sat down, and took a sip of tea.

"What rehearsal?"

Liu Xiaoli sat down next to Yu Le.

"The Olympics are about to begin, and Sisi has been chosen as a torchbearer for the Beijing leg. She's been rehearsing outside every day these past few days!"

Dongdong nestled close to Yu Le's legs, tilting her little face up.

"Dad, I want to see my sister!"

Yu Le put down her teacup, smiled, and patted her son's head.

"Okay, Dad will take you to visit the set."

……

The secondary field outside the Olympic Sports Center.

The sun was blazing overhead.

Police tape was put up around the venue, and armed police officers stood guard.

Yu Le scanned his face, then, holding Dongdong's hand (who had changed into a clean vest and shorts), they entered the venue through the internal passage.

On the runway.

Dozens of people dressed in red and white torchbearer uniforms are practicing in line.

Liu Qianqian was in the middle of the line.

She wore her hair in a high ponytail and had no makeup on.

He was holding an unlit replica torch.

Sweat streamed down her jawline, soaking her collar.

But her back was ramrod straight, and her steps were extremely precise.

"Handover!" the instructor at the front shouted.

Liu Qianqian slowed down.

Hold the base of the torch with both hands and, in a proper posture, align the top of the torch with the torch of the person in front of you.

The movements were swift and decisive.

Yu Le stood on the sidelines, watching this scene unfold.

Dongdong jumped up and down excitedly, pointing at the track.

"Daddy! Sister Monkey!"

Yu Le quickly covered his mouth.

"Don't call me that here, call me 'sister'."
