Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 238 The light of domestic sci-fi movies breaks the box office record!
Because he was busy filming "My Motherland and Me" before, Lin Yuan did not participate in the premiere of "The Wandering Earth".

But as soon as he was free here, Lin Yuan followed the film's main creative team and joined the film promotion immediately.

The road show scene on the day of the film's release.

After Director Guo answered three questions one after another, the reporters in the audience quickly pointed the microphone at Lin Yuan again.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, may I ask which of the several Spring Festival movies released this year, which one do you think is most likely to win the box office?"

"Mr. Lin Yuan, I heard that your next movie will be the director again. Is this true?"

"Mr. Lin Yuan, this should be your first starring role in a domestic sci-fi movie. May I ask how much you predict the final box office will be?"

The questions of these media reporters are more tricky than the last.

After deliberately avoiding some questions and not answering them, Lin Yuan picked a relatively normal question to answer.

"The movie "The Wandering Earth" has a total investment of 40 million. It is our first large-scale sci-fi movie in China, so I have high expectations for this movie. It is conservatively estimated that this movie should be able to win [-] billion at the box office. .”

When Lin Yuan said this, his face was calm, as if what he said was not 40 billion, but 14 billion, or even [-] million so easily.

But the reporters at the scene were not so calm. When Lin Yuan said the words 40 billion, many reporters were still a little dazed.

"Did I hear correctly, Lin Yuan just said 40 billion, not 14 billion?"

A reporter in the audience turned his head in disbelief to look at his colleagues next to him. The same astonishment appeared in their eyes, which showed that their ears heard correctly.

"It seems to be. I heard that it is also 40 billion."

"I'll go, 40 billion?"

"How many movies have the box office of 40 billion in our country, maybe there are only two?"

"As expected of Lin Yuan, opening his mouth is big news. Let alone 40 billion domestic sci-fi movies, I would consider him amazing if he can reach 20 billion!"

Several reporters in the audience kept talking, obviously shocked by Lin Yuan's answer.

This is also normal. After all, there are only two domestic films with a box office of 40 billion, one "Wolf Warrior 2" and one "I'm Not the God of Medicine". These two films can break through 40 billion, and they can understand it.

However, domestic sci-fi movies want to break 40 billion, which is obviously a bit of a dream. After all, no matter how powerful domestic sci-fi movies are, can they compare with Hollywood-produced sci-fi blockbusters?

The two are clearly not on the same level.

But this is not important anymore. The movie is about to be released. Whether "The Wandering Earth" can break through the 40 billion box office can be seen from the box office on the first day, and for these media reporters, they have already learned from Lin Yuan. Now I can't wait to go back and report this matter.

At the same time that the four movies in the Spring Festival schedule were released on time.

On the Internet, Lin Yuan's conservative estimate that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" broke 40 billion has also aroused extensive discussions among netizens.

Even if they are not in the industry, an ordinary audience knows what a box office of 40 billion is.

In this era where a box office of 40 billion is considered a big hit, and breaking a billion is considered a small record, 40 billion box office is undoubtedly an astronomical figure. Domestic movies have developed for decades, and only two films have broken 30 billion in the past two years. Other than that, there are very few movies that even break [-] billion at the box office.

In this regard, some expressed support, while others said that Lin Yuan was inflated.

In various forums, Weibo, and post bars, "The Wandering Earth" is an absolute hot spot, and any topic can cause tens of thousands of people to discuss it. In contrast, although the other three movies also have many topics, the topics discussed The speed is obviously not as high as Lin Yuan.

Until 45:[-] in the evening, today's last "The Wandering Earth" movie was released, the box office was refreshed, and the box office data on the Maoyan movie was also counted in real time.

4.7 million on the first day, breaking the first-day box office record for Chinese-language movies, and the single-day box office record for Chinese-language movies!

Even "Crazy Alien", the box office hit during the Spring Festival, only got 4.1 million in the box office on the first day, and there is still a certain gap from "The Wandering Earth".

As soon as the first-day box office results came out, domestic filmmakers were taken aback.

Although the box office explosion on the first day does not guarantee that the film’s follow-up box office will continue to maintain such an upward trend, but it must be known that "Wolf Warrior 2" has a box office of 1 million on the first day and can reach a box office record of 56 billion, while "The Wandering Earth" has a box office of 4.7 million on the first day. It is likely to exceed the box office record set by "Wolf Warrior 2".

On the following Saturday, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" soared to 6.3 million on the fifth day of the first day, and the total box office broke through the 20 billion mark in five days of release, reaching 21.4 billion!
The box office of 6 million in a single day obviously stimulated other movies in the same period.

In addition to "The Wandering Earth", "Crazy Alien" won 14.1 billion, and "Flying Life" 8.3 million.

However, "Shanghai Fortress", which is also a domestic sci-fi film, only won 1.32 million yuan, which is not as much as the box office of "The Wandering Earth" in its first week.

The new single-day box office record was again hyped by the media.

""The Wandering Earth" set another record and regained the domestic single-day box office record!"

"Lin Yuan used the box office results to prove that "The Wandering Earth" won the box office of 40 billion. It is strength, not madness!"

""The Wandering Earth" is expected to surpass "Wolf Warrior 2", and the highest domestic box office record may be rewritten by "The Wandering Earth"!"

"Breaking 40 billion is not a dream, "The Wandering Earth" is making great strides, breaking the record is a foregone conclusion!"

Those media accounts who questioned Lin Yuan shut up and pretended to be dead.

No one thought that "The Wandering Earth" is more fascinating than movies like "The Mermaid" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine".

It is also a 45 movie ticket, and the movie "The Wandering Earth" can also see special effects comparable to those produced by Hollywood film teams, and the audience called it a big profit.

"The box office is 6.3 million a day. This box office result is faster than robbing a bank, but "The Wandering Earth" is really good. I have already watched it with my girlfriend, and I plan to change my girlfriend tomorrow and go for a second brush!"

"It broke the box office of 20 billion in less than a week, so the 40 billion shouldn't be a problem. Some people said that Lin Yuanpiao is gone, why is he not coming out now?"

""The Wandering Earth" really pulled domestic sci-fi movies out of the coffin! This ticket is really worth the money!"

"Here I have to mention "Shanghai Fortress". If "The Wandering Earth" opened the door to domestic sci-fi movies, then "Shanghai Fortress" almost closed the door again. It is recommended that netizens do not watch it. "Shanghai Fortress", you will feel like you have wasted two hours of your life!"

"Downstairs agreed, but it's a pity I didn't see your suggestion earlier, brother."

Whenever some netizens praised the domestic sci-fi movie "The Wandering Earth" for the surprises it brought them, the sci-fi movie "Shanghai Fortress", which was released at the same time, would be flogged by the netizens.

With the word-of-mouth resistance from netizens, it may be difficult to recover the cost of "Shanghai Fortress" at the box office.

Time passed day by day, and the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" also grew steadily like the numbers on the calendar. At the end of the Spring Festival, the box office was only a step away from Lin Yuan's estimated 40 billion mark.

With the passing of the Spring Festival, the number of people watching movies in major theaters has also decreased significantly.

The follow-up daily box office of the two films "Crazy Alien" and "Flying Life" can only be maintained at about 3000 to [-] million. "Shanghai Fortress" is even worse. Seeing that half of the release period has passed, the box office is still [-] million. It didn't break through [-] million, which made Director Teng Huatao anxious to death.

Didn't it say that Haoluhan's fans have spending power and can support the box office?I haven't seen how good the box office results are!

When the box office of movies in the same period was affected, the movie "The Wandering Earth" still maintained a daily box office figure of about [-] million.

This achievement really surprised the filmmakers in the circle.

Just in mid-March, the cumulative box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached 56 billion, the same as the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2".

[The strongest dark horse!Who will be the box office champion of Chinese film history? 】

[With a box office difference of 2 million, can "The Wandering Earth" surpass "Wolf Warrior [-]" to become the top box office champion? 】

[Can domestic sci-fi movies go abroad? "The Wandering Earth" is expected to be released worldwide, competing with Hollywood movies! 】

Under the big media reports, "The Wandering Earth" once again ushered in a movie-watching frenzy, successfully surpassed "Wolf Warrior 2" at the box office, and reached the top of the box office champion in Chinese film history!
On the other hand, because "The Wandering Earth" achieved such an explosive box office performance, the entire crew opened champagne in advance to celebrate.

Many friends in the circle called Lin Yuan to congratulate him on his achievement.

Due to too many phone calls, Lin Yuan even forgot who had called him, but the only thing he could be sure of was that Ning Hao was definitely not among the congratulatory friends.

Because Ning Hao was complaining about Lin Yuan with Huang Bo in the crew hotel of "My Motherland and Me".

Is the movie "The Wandering Earth" well done?

If Ning Hao were to answer objectively, he would definitely give a good answer, so there will be no more.

The reason is very simple. The script of the film is adapted from the original novel of "The Wandering Earth". Without major changes, what the movie "The Wandering Earth" presents is exactly what he expected.

But why is "The Wandering Earth" so popular now?
Take the national football team as an example. For Japan and South Korea, it is not difficult to enter the World Cup, but suddenly one day the national football team entered the World Cup. How can this not surprise domestic fans.

This is probably the case with domestic sci-fi movies.

When domestic sci-fi movies have become synonymous with bad movies, a standard Hollywood-level sci-fi movie will naturally arouse a wave of praise from domestic movie fans, especially now that there is "Shanghai Fortress" as a foil.

Coupled with Lin Yuanchao's high popularity, it has also brought a large number of audiences to relatively small domestic sci-fi movies.

Under such circumstances, "The Wandering Earth" has suddenly become the most popular domestic movie at present.

This made Ning Hao very angry. He managed to prepare the trilogy of the crazy series - "Crazy Alien", and even found Huang Bo and Shen Teng. I met "The Wandering Earth" starring Lin Yuan.

If "The Wandering Earth" hadn't hit "The Wandering Earth", it would not be difficult for "Crazy Alien" to win the box office champion of this year's Spring Festival schedule. After all, there are only a handful of movies that broke 4 million on the first day. Not the God of Medicine", the final outcome can still be suspenseful, so it won't be like now, where there is no hope.

Even the media's various flattering reports on Lin Yuan did not surprise the audience at all.

From "The Mermaid", to "I'm Not the God of Medicine", and then to "The Wandering Earth", the total box office of the three films is almost 150 billion. Is it any wonder that Lin Yuan is defending the box office champion of the Spring Festival schedule?
Netizens are no longer surprised that the movie starring Lin Yuan won the box office championship.

But for China Film, Guo Fan, and even Lin Yuan, the success of "The Wandering Earth" really gave them a big surprise. The box office of "The Wandering Earth" is expected to exceed the 50 billion mark, and it may even surpass "Wolf Warriors 2" set a box office record.

A movie with an investment of 50 million won a box office of [-] billion. I am afraid that this is something that all filmmakers in the industry did not expect.

China Film has made a lot of money investing in this movie with a small fortune. Guo Fan has also joined the ranks of domestic first-line directors by relying on this movie, and Lin Yuan will get hundreds of millions of yuan by virtue of his investment in film remuneration. Dividends, which is why he immediately devoted himself to film promotion.

Of course, for Wanda Pictures, this is obviously not the result they want to see.

The answer given by their evaluation team is very clear. The market prospect of "The Wandering Earth" is far inferior to that of "Love 2".

It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in the world. Wanda Pictures can only focus on pursuing Lin Yuan's contract renewal to co-produce the movie "Tang Detective 3".

After attending the celebration banquet of "The Wandering Earth", Lin Yuan returned to the filming of "My Motherland and Me" again.

I have to say that this is the most relaxing movie Lin Yuan has ever made, bar none.

After the filming of the three unit dramas, the number of NGs by the leading actors did not even exceed [-] times. The time spent by the directors on discussing the script was longer than the time spent by the leading actors on filming.

If it weren't for having to travel to seven locations to shoot different scenes, the film might have only taken four months to finish.

However, judging from the current situation, the film will have to be finished in May at the earliest.

The most important thing is that this movie is a gift film, and it has to be released during the National Day this year, so everyone in the crew has a heavy burden on them. I didn't dare to relax at all, for fear that I wouldn't be able to enter the state when shooting.

Life on set always flies by.

When director Chen Kaige was filming the unit drama "Day Meteor", half of this year's time has passed in the blink of an eye, which means that the day when the film is finalized is one step closer.

It is different from other executive directors making unit dramas.

When Brother Chen Kai was filming the unit drama, none of the remaining six executive directors dared to go up to offer suggestions. They each found an apple box from the set, sat around and chatted about the upcoming Golden Awards.

Before, Lin Yuan won the Golden Rooster Award, Golden Horse Award, and Golden Goblet Award for his "Scorching Sun". Many netizens criticized Lin Yuan for making so many movies. Burning Heart".

But this is also true.

Among so many movies starring Lin Yuan, it is basically impossible for commercial movies such as "One Man's Martial Arts", "Kung Fu Yoga", and "Tang Detective" to win the best actor.

This is not to say that Lin Yuan's acting skills are not good, but that the types and nature of these movies have inherent disadvantages. It is easy to get high box office, but it is not so easy to win awards, otherwise there would not be so many directors After filming a literary film and winning an award, he immediately switched to commercial films.

"Lin Yuan, if you win the Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards, wouldn't it be a grand slam of three gold awards?" Xu Zheng asked excitedly.

Several other directors looked at Lin Yuan one after another.

Lin Yuan is the youngest of them, but it turns out that they have won the most awards here. Even Xu Zheng won not have as many gold awards as Lin Yuan.

If Lin Yuan really won the Best Actor in this year's Academy Awards, it would be the highest achievement of a domestic actor.

"I don't have any hope for the Academy Award."

Lin Yuan shrugged helplessly. If two years ago, he might have been able to win the Best Actor award at the Academy Awards with "Scorching Sun", but it has been so long now, even if the best actor is awarded, It can't be given to him either.

Ning Hao put one hand on Lin Yuan's shoulder, patted it lightly twice, and comforted him: "Why is there no hope? Let me tell you, the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will definitely be nominated, and it probably won't win the award." question."

"Director Ning, you said it yourself, what award can he give me for the movie "The God of Medicine"? No best actor?"

Lin Yuan knew very well that he had a chance to win the Best Director Award for "I'm Not the God of Medicine", but the Best Actor Award would definitely not be his. Even if their crew won the award, they could only go to Xu Zheng In fact, his acting skills in the movie deserved this award after all.

"No matter how bad it is, there is "The Wandering Earth". After all, there is a domestic sci-fi movie with such a high box office. It is no problem to win an award, right?" Zhang Baibai said.

Lin Yuan smiled, but did not speak.

If the box office is high enough to win the award, the gold awards in his family may almost fit into a showcase.

However, the box office of "The Wandering Earth" movie is indeed terribly high, directly breaking the box office record set by "Wolf Warrior 2", and temporarily leading the box office list of Chinese movies with a slight advantage of 1 million box office.

Judging from the current results of "The Wandering Earth", if it is included in the nomination list for the Academy Awards, I am afraid that there is a possibility of winning the award, but no one can say for sure about these things, and the final result will only be known on the day of the Awards Ceremony.
