Chapter 904 Final chapter
From 5.574 billion to breaking the record of 5.694 billion in "Wolf Warrior 2", "The Wandering Earth" took 22 days to reach the 100 million distance.
On the evening of January 23, the official Weibo of "The Wandering Earth" announced the good news. As of 8:52 that night, 48 days after "The Wandering Earth" was released, the total box office had officially reached 5.705 billion, breaking the record of "Wolf Warrior 2" and claiming the top spot in Chinese film history.
Box office champion.
Friends in the circle sent blessings one after another.
Remote Film and Television held a grand celebration banquet in Beijing the next night, inviting friends to the party.
Cheng Yuan finally appeared at the celebration banquet after disappearing from the public for 20 days.
That night Cheng Yu'an and his wife Liu Yifei attended the dinner. The banquet was full of guests and it was very lively.
"Director Cheng, congratulations."
"The new record is gratifying."
Whether it was compliments from the guests or sincere congratulations, Cheng Yu'an accepted them all gladly.
The happiest thing at the banquet was the other three major producers besides Yuan Yuan: Wanda, China Film and Bona.
A film that records film history has a huge benefit to the three companies.
Especially Wanda, which has been in crisis for the past two years, "The Wandering Earth" has boosted the outside world's confidence in Wanda.
Lao Wang specially came to attend the celebration banquet in person today and said he wanted to thank Cheng Yu'an in person.
Cheng Yu'an took the stage and delivered a speech: "...I dare not take credit. The success of "The Wandering Earth" should not be solely my fault. I want to thank my team behind the scenes. Without them, there would be no "The Wandering Earth". Thank you to Mr. Wang of Wanda,
The director of China Film, Mr. Yu of Bernard, and the partners of the other 23 co-producers, thank them for their generous donation and letting me spend the money, which made the success of "The Wandering Earth"...
…I just did a little bit of trivial work.
"How does this sound like an acceptance speech?" Cheng Yu'an joked, "But it doesn't matter. I believe that our Chinese science fiction movies will definitely get better and better. "The Wandering Earth" is just the starting point. In the future, our filmmakers will definitely make comparisons.
"The Wandering Earth" is a better science fiction movie.
"Thanks."
After the speech, the banquet continued.
Cheng Yu'an, as the host, was a little tired of handling the reception.
Taking advantage of the break, Liu Yifei replaced the champagne in Cheng Yuan's hand with warm water.
"You must be tired." Liu Yifei, as the hostess, is also very busy.
"I said I wouldn't come, but they insisted that I come." The couple stood aside and looked at the men and women in the field.
"It doesn't matter if I don't come." Liu Yifei said with a smile, "If you didn't come, there would be no need to hold this banquet."
Cheng Yu'an took a sip of the water in the cup: "I get a headache when I think about the next film "Mulan"."
The couple will fly to the United States on the fifth day of the new year to promote "Mulan".
Cheng Yu'an couldn't help but sigh: "Sometimes I really want to quit and just stay at home with you and Qiqi."
Liu Yifei knew that he was talking nonsense, so she laughed and said: "No, I don't want to be the sinner. If you want to retire, the audience will definitely blame me."
"I have really worked hard on you during this period. Take a good rest after finishing "Mulan"." Liu Yifei is also very considerate of her husband.
"Look at these people." Cheng Yu'an nodded to the people present. "They are so busy that they don't know who is real and who is fake."
Liu Yifei knew that her husband was too busy recently and was a little nervous, so she smiled and said, "Is it really that important? What's important is that they are both working and living very hard."
"Recently, reading has been somewhat effective," Cheng Yu'an joked, "This is a well-spoken statement. Here's to Teacher Liu."
Cheng Yu'an raised his water glass and clinked it with Liu Yifei's wine glass.
"Yu'an." Teng Huatao brought someone up to say hello.
"Teacher Teng, long time no see." Cheng Yu'an responded, "What have you been busy with recently?"
"Just busy working." Teng Huatao said with a smile.
"Hello, Teacher Cheng." Lu Han followed Teng Huatao and greeted Cheng Yu'an.
Lu Han and Cheng Yu'an were relatively familiar with each other. They were both fans and had bumped into each other a few times on the field.
Teng Huatao praised how good "The Wandering Earth" was. Cheng Yu'an knew that Teng Huatao had also made a movie called "Fortress", which was approved at almost the same time as "The Wandering Earth", and the preparation progress was faster than that of "The Wandering Earth".
Cheng Yu'an handed over the message: "Is "Magic City Fortress" coming soon?"
"The post-production period is being finalized and is scheduled to be released this summer." Teng Huatao said with a smile. The success of "The Wandering Earth" has brought unprecedented attention to his "Fortress". "I must come to the premiere when the time comes."
"Absolutely." I promised first.
"I still have something to do over there, so I'll go over there first." After saying a few words, Teng Huatao excused himself and left.
After the celebration banquet, there was a tea party with several elders.
Yu Dong and others are discussing the second part of "The Wandering Earth".
Cheng Yu'an laughed and said: "The first part hasn't been released yet, so I'm just thinking about the second one.
"I don't even have a second story in my head."
All the bosses coaxed Cheng Yu'an: "There is no rush for the second part, but some work can be done first."
Cheng Yu'an was the first to express his stance: "I still have two films that I haven't finished filming yet. I can't spare the time and energy to film the second one."
Cheng Yu'an couldn't give it up: "There's no rush, and we didn't say we're going to shoot now. We've prepared the money for you. When you want to shoot, we'll send you the money."
According to Cheng Yu'an's idea, he never conceived the second part at all. The second part will be filmed by whoever loves it.
He will gradually reduce production, and only plans to make two movies in the next five years, "Mrs. Hunan" and "Li Qingzhao".
He is not going to touch "The Wandering Earth 2".
He couldn't let go of the audience or the camera, but he also knew that he couldn't let work take up all his time.
As a director, he also has to live a life and care about daily necessities and family affairs. Only by returning to life can he create better creations.
Cheng Yu'an came home very late. After washing, he lay down next to his wife and slept peacefully.
Cheng Mufan has already gone on winter vacation, but children are always full of energy.
The next day, Cheng Yuan was woken up by her daughter tapping her dolphin doll.
My wife is no longer beside the pillow.
"Where's mom?" Cheng Yu'an asked her daughter.
"Mom went dancing."
"Why don't you go along?"
"Dancing is not fun." Cheng Mufan pushed Cheng Yu'an, "Get up quickly and take me to the zoo."
"Did I promise to take you to the zoo?"
"Bad dad!" Cheng Muchan hit Cheng Yu'an again, "Look at the elephant."
Cheng Yu'an remembered that she had promised to take her daughter to the zoo to see elephants.
"Okay, Dad, get up now." Cheng Yu'an sat up and ordered her daughter, "Go and get my clothes."
Cheng Mufan climbed out of bed, hugged Cheng Yuan's clothes and threw them on the bed for him to change.
"Qiqi, let's go see what we have for breakfast this morning."
Cheng Mufan had already eaten and reported to his father: "Drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks."
"Okay, let's drink soy milk and eat fried dough sticks. Dad will take the baby to the zoo to see elephants!"
