Chapter 462: Number one at the domestic box office?
"The Wandering Earth" has received a critical rating on the Rotten Tomatoes platform in Europe and the United States.
It was rated 8.8 by more than 500,000 foreign viewers.
This score can be regarded as a top recognition for Chinese science fiction movies.
A Spanish audience member commented: "I chose to watch this movie because Qi Ji was the director! It was so surprising! In my impression, a movie of this caliber was one of the top movies made in Hollywood before.
I’ve only seen it during production! But this time, it’s different! Faced with the sense of world destruction that unfolds in this movie, I feel the reality like never before!”
A French viewer commented: "There is always some romantic heroism in our movies, but this time, in "The Wandering Earth", what I see more comes from our planet.
Countless races on the planet have shown great and noble personalities when facing the doomsday crisis! This is probably one of the important reasons why I like this movie!"
A viewer from the beautiful country commented: "Actually, in my mind, the Chinese Qi Ji is more of a singer and a songwriter! But after watching this time's "The Wandering Earth", I was shocked
! He was beyond my expectations! "Chainsaw", the "Fengshen Universe" series, and now this one "The Wandering Earth", Qi Ji's movie types are varied! This will be
His first step to becoming a top film director! I’m already looking forward to Qi Ji’s future movies!”
"The Wandering Earth" naturally won the local weekly box office championship in Europe and the United States.
This caught the attention of everyone in Hollywood.
Many years ago, Qi Ji's "Saw" was like a shooting star, streaking across the sky over Hollywood.
In fact, many people don't take it too seriously.
But it's different now.
Miracle Entertainment uses several of its own movie series and Qi Ji’s own golden signature.
As a result, the movies produced by Miracle Entertainment now have the ability to harvest globally just like Hollywood.
Clay House of Centenary Pictures, one of the top ten distribution companies in Hollywood, said in an interview:
"This is something that all of us in the film industry should be ashamed of! You can think about it, a few years ago, would people in our country watch Chinese movies? Would people in Europe and the United States watch them? But
What now? Many people, upon hearing Qi Ji's name, flocked to it without caring about the quality of the work itself!
"What kind of change is this! I even put it here. If our professionals don't make some changes and still face the global film market with a arrogant attitude,
This new film force from China will sweep the entire planet!"
In this interview with Clay House, both the inner and outer meanings are the achievements of Miracle Entertainment, which are all very appreciated.
This also aroused the curiosity of many viewers.
"I think so too... our filmmakers are too stereotyped!"
"Although I haven't watched "The Wandering Earth" yet, after watching the interview with the boss, I decided to watch it tomorrow!"
However, some professionals still see the problems.
"Hahaha! Don't be fooled by Clay House! Take a look at who the North American distributor of "The Wandering Earth" is? Isn't it Centenary Pictures? Now Clay House and the others have already been
I have made a lot of money, and of course I hope that the box office of "The Wandering Earth" will be as high as possible!"
Clay House was sitting in the office, very interested.
He was the one who won the European and American distribution rights of "The Wandering Earth" this time.
So far, this operation is perfect!
Judging from the current box office trend of "The Wandering Earth", it may even hit the top ten box office in film history!
You know, the top ten movies are all top-notch Hollywood productions!
If only this movie by Chinese Qi Ji could really achieve this.
So what it means is naturally self-evident.
Thinking like this, Clay House couldn't hold back his excitement and dialed Qi Ji's phone number.
Although there is a time difference at the moment, both parties are still in good spirits.
Clay House smiled and said: "Director Qi, our movie is so popular now! I have added another five million for promotion. This time, our goal is to hit the top ten in film history!"
Qi Ji was making food for his baby at the moment. When he heard Clay House say this, he paused and then said with a smile: "Mr. Clay, if I remember correctly, the top ten global box office results in film history should be
Is it more than $1.8 billion?"
Clay House laughed and said, "Yes!"
Qi Ji waved his hand and said: "This is obviously impossible! We can achieve such good results this week, which is already very good! If the global box office can exceed one billion US dollars, I feel that it is almost the limit!"
Clay House said: "Be bold!"
Qi Ji was noncommittal about the other party's idea.
"Shall we prepare a celebration party together next week?" Clay House said.
Qi Ji said: "Okay, I will fly over next week to participate in the finals of the World Singing King Contest. The time is just right. I will ask my assistant to check the schedule with you!"
"The Wandering Earth" is becoming wildly popular abroad.
In China, of course, it goes without saying.
Time Network opens points.
More than five million Chinese viewers gave this movie a score of 8.5.
You know, this is a domestic science fiction movie.
Therefore, being able to achieve such results can be regarded as a new era for domestic films.
Highly praised comments.
"No matter from which latitude you look at it, this is a top-notch science fiction masterpiece that is not inferior to Hollywood! If I weren't afraid that you would think I am exaggerating too much, I would even say that the level of this movie is...
It has surpassed most Hollywood blockbusters! Whether it is special effects or plot! Especially the scene where the whole world comes together to save the planet, although it is vulgar, it is touching enough! This is a qualified commercial movie!"
"Let me just say one thing, brothers! After "The Wandering Earth", the total box office of Mr. Qi Ji's movies (in which he starred or directed) has exceeded the total box office of our director Lu, who has 20 billion!"
"There is no doubt that from the perspective of special effects and technology, this is a new level for domestic films! Miracle Entertainment has been showing off their skills to us since the Fengshen Universe series! There is one scene I particularly like, which is getting out of a car
, slowly rising, and finally showing the picture of all the planetary engines! The camera movement is really shocking!"
"This type of film doesn't have a lot of sensational scenes at the end. It's so comforting! I love Qi Ji! I hope Qi Ji can continue to produce quality products for us!"
Of course, the major media outlets are not stingy with their words of praise.
[Miracle Entertainment’s new movie “The Wandering Earth” creates a new milestone for domestic science fiction movies! Who says that we Chinese can’t make excellent science fiction movies? 】
[Qi Ji definitely has the traditional Chinese style in his heart! None of the science fiction films produced by Qi Ji have the Hollywood cliché flavor!]
[Qi Ji set a new benchmark for domestic science fiction movies with "The Wandering Earth"! In the future, it is recommended that any science fiction movies that are not as good as "The Wandering Earth" should not be released!]
What Mu Yunxiu and Qi Youning like to see most now are the voices praising Qi Ji in major media and websites.
No matter how many times the mother and daughter see these compliments, they will never get tired of them.
"Dad, come and see this man, he really knows how to praise you!" Qi Youning said, pointing to a name in a newspaper.
Qi Ji walked over and saw that the person was none other than Zhang Dongshui, the president of the Shangjing Poetry Association.
He has already been a big fan of Qi Ji.
Therefore, Zhang Dongshui has watched all of Qi Ji's works, not only the Chinese Five Thousand Years series, but also Qi Ji's film and television dramas.
The more I look at it, the more I feel that Qi Ji is a genius!
So when the media invited him, he naturally spared no effort to brag about his achievements in the media.
[Qi Ji is the god of contemporary literary and art circles! His unparalleled talents have long since radiated from poems and songs to the entire entertainment circle! I have seen a report before, saying that the storyboards drawn by Qi Ji at the movie shooting scene are also the same
It’s a masterpiece!]
Zhang Dongshui's boast made Qi Ji feel a little embarrassed.
He gently touched Qi Youning's little head and said, "Go and see if your brother is asleep!"
night.
Qi Ji received a call from Lu Liang.
"Congratulations to brother Qi Ji, you have successfully surpassed me and become the number one box office player in our country!" Lu Liang was very happy.
In recent years, Lu Liang, the number one person with a domestic box office of over 20 billion, has actually been a burden for him.
Because there were too many eyes that were always looking at him.
So in the past two years, he actually stopped filming movies and switched to filming "The Myth".
But the reputation of "Myth" is not good either.
This makes the public opinion atmosphere that Lu Liang has been exposed to recently very bad.
So now that Lu Liang saw Qi Ji surpassing him, he was happy from the bottom of his heart and felt relieved.
Qi Ji: "Director Lu, the gold content of mine cannot be compared with yours! After all, now is the era of box office explosion. A movie can easily earn hundreds of millions or billions in box office, which is not comparable to yours back then! Yours
Achievements are the real deal, accumulated from movie to movie!"
Lu Liang laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, let's stop flattering each other. When will you have a celebration banquet? When the time comes, I will join in the fun!"
Qi Ji said: "This relationship is great! But we have to do it abroad. After all, this is a global release. Do you have time? It will probably be next week!"
Lu Liang said: "Of course I have time! Even if I don't, I have to squeeze it out!"
"The Wandering Earth" has been released for two weeks, and its global box office has successfully exceeded the billion-dollar mark.
But it is still one place away from being number one at the domestic box office!
The first place is Lu Liang’s masterpiece!
Over the years, this movie can be released repeatedly, and every time it is released, the theaters make money, which makes the cumulative box office of this movie exceed 10 billion!
In terms of global film history, the current box office revenue of "The Wandering Earth" can already be ranked in the top 100!
But there is still a long way to go before the real top ten.
New York, a large hotel owned by Centennial Pictures.
Today's celebration banquet for "The Wandering Earth" is here.
At the invitation of Centennial Pictures, many Hollywood artists also came to support.
Qi Ji followed Clay House and got to know more than a dozen Hollywood A-list stars.
These Hollywood stars naturally have no shortage of resources.
But when facing Qi Ji, everyone still looked very serious and respectful.
Because Qi Ji is different.
The current Hollywood market is basically saturated.
It has now become the second largest ticket market in the world. In the next few years, it is very likely that the mainland market will become the world's largest ticket market. Many European and American filmmakers want to enter.
The existence of a bite.
And Qi Ji, without a doubt, is the shortcut!
If you can collaborate with Qi Ji on a movie, it will have unimaginable benefits for you to break into the Chinese market.
So this is one of the important reasons why these Hollywood A-list stars are willing to accept the invitation of Centennial Pictures to participate in the celebration banquet.
"Director Qi, do you have a schedule for your next movie?"
"Director Qi, I just had time to watch "The Wandering Earth" yesterday. The special effects are really shocking. If you make a science fiction movie next time, you must give me a role!"
Qi Ji looked at the many actors with a faint smile on his face.
At this time, Rocky Renteria, an actor with brown eyes and blond curly hair, suddenly asked: "Director Qi, I have also finished watching "The Wandering Earth". I noticed that at the end of the movie, you were given the Earth in the story.
The destination is a close-up of the Trisolaran Galaxy. If "The Wandering Earth" were to be filmed as a sequel, wouldn't it be the story that happened here?"
Qi Ji knew that Rocky Renteria was considered a top artist in Hollywood.
They have many fans all over the world.
Judging from the details the other party told, Qi Ji knew that he was indeed taking it very seriously.
So Qi Ji nodded and said: "My next movie will still be science fiction. But it will not be a sequel to The Wandering Earth... You are right about one thing. It does have a lot to do with the Trisolaran Galaxy!"
Rocky Renteria's eyes lit up and he said: "Did I really see your Easter egg? Then if there is a role suitable for me in your next movie, let's work together!"
Rocky Renteria's eyes were full of expectation.
Qi Ji also seriously agreed.
If he was filming "The Three-Body Problem", he thought of one of the characters that was actually more suitable for Rocky Renteria to play.
