Then, the sight of Magic City being frozen made Lao Ma burst into tears. He is from Magic City. He grew up in Magic City and was brought to the United States by his parents when he was a teenager. The Magic City in his original impression
The picture has gradually blurred, but when I saw the magical city turned into a deserted ice field in the movie, I felt an inexplicable tingling feeling in my heart.
How to put it, just like Han Ziang's memories of the Magic City in the film, Lao Ma's memories of the Magic City also stop at twenty years ago. This feeling is something that domestic audiences cannot experience. Leaving home is expensive, and people are leaving.
Hometown lowliness will only be deeply felt when you leave your hometown.
Xiao Ma suddenly turned around and couldn't help but wonder, what's wrong with dad? Isn't it just watching a movie? Although this movie is much more exciting than imagined, it won't make me cry after watching it, right?
In fact, when Han Ziang told the story of chopped green onion noodles, many Chinese students couldn't help but have sore eyes. Yes, how long has it been since I had the chopped green onion noodles made by my mother?
When the story reached the second half, Liu Qi asked Wang Lei: What is that? Is it a whale? Why did he swim so far?
Wang Lei replied: Maybe it’s to get closer to home.
It made Lao Ma almost cry, but he could only grit his teeth and endure it. Xiao Ma still didn't understand why his father was so excited.
Until later, what Liu Peiqiang said to Liu Qi was actually a typical Chinese father-son relationship. The father was always taciturn, and the son felt that he had nothing to talk about with his father. However, when something happened, his father would still act like he did when he was a child.
, hold up a sky for the children.
In fact, Liu Peiqiang is not a typical Chinese hero. He joined the astronauts to give his son and father-in-law the opportunity to enter the underground city without drawing lots. He drove the space station to ignite Jupiter, and a large part of his motivation was also to keep his son alive.
He is not perfect, but he is blameless.
At the end of the film, Liu Qi drove a heavy-duty carrier truck on the ice sheet, and the earth successfully entered the long wandering era from the era of escape. In the final Easter egg, a broader wandering earth universe seemed to be waiting for them, and they couldn't help but
It makes people's blood spurt and their whole body tremble at the same time.
"Wow, it's so exciting. Is this really a film made by Chinese people?"
"It's incredible. I have never seen such a hard-core science fiction movie."
After the movie was broadcast, the audience was in high spirits, especially the Chinese audience. When they heard that Americans were applauding the movie, they felt proud beyond words.
Chris was smoking next to the trash can at the entrance of the theater. Not long after, he saw many people coming out of the theater.
"Hey, man, do you have a fire?" A black man took out a cigarette.
When Chris saw him coming out of the theater, he couldn't help but feel moved: "Here, man, what movie were you watching? Do you have any recommendations?"
"It's a Chinese movie [The Wandering Earth], I think it's called this. It's too hard to pronounce, but it's not bad. I mean, it's beyond my imagination. Apart from the fact that people can't recognize it, everything else is perfect." Black man
He lit up the cigarette and took a nice puff. It was obvious that he was exhausted in the theater.
Not long after, many people came to smoke around the trash can. Many Chinese people were talking about "The Wandering Earth." Chris was not proficient in Chinese, but he could still say something like "It's great, it looks good."
Those who understand a little bit can't help but have certain expectations for the first-day box office of "The Wandering Earth".
Chris stayed up all night, waiting for the first-day box office of "The Wandering Earth". Finally, his secretary came in twisting her waist.
If it were normal times, Chris would definitely joke with this secretary, but now he is obviously not in such a mood.
He hurriedly opened the document and pressed his fingers on a series of numbers. Chris's expression changed from weird at first to excitement later. He waved his fists and shouted: "Hey, you guys
Bastard, let’s see who dares to laugh at me!”
Han Fei received a call from Chris at about four o'clock in the afternoon. He smiled and said: "Man, it must be early morning at your place now, right?"
"Aren't you curious about the first-day box office in North America?" Chris was stunned for a moment.
"Of course I'm curious, but from the sound of your voice, I know it must be good news, right?"
Chris was helpless: "Well, you are really boring. The box office on the first day was 13.68 million U.S. dollars. According to the currently released data, you can rank in the top five in the box office rankings. Man, we are going to be prosperous.
!”
After hearing what Chris said, Han Fei secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When it comes to being nervous, no one is probably as nervous as him. He is just pretending to be calm. This box office is indeed beyond Han Fei's imagination. According to this box office trend, in a single week,
Breaking 100 million is possible.
Sure enough, after the first-day box office data was released, some theaters also increased the number of screen canvases for "The Wandering Earth", and some theaters that had previously refused to release it became willing to accept the film.
At first, everyone was only interested in the Chinese market in North America. However, after the film was released, it was gradually discovered that many young people from the country began to go to theaters to watch the film under the leadership of their classmates.
As the box office revenue steadily increased, some media began to report on this seemingly inconspicuous incident, but most of them just reported it as an insignificant piece of news.
It wasn't until the first week's box office data was announced that "The Wandering Earth" ranked third in the box office rankings for the same period with US$113 million, that many media, film and television companies, and film critics began to re-examine this work.
Of course, this is not necessarily a good thing for the "Wandering Earth", and many voices of criticism will follow. Especially in the environment of cultural differences between East and West, this criticism will be more pungent, or even non-existent.
Bottom line.
For example, the character Wang Lei in the play has become a major drawback. In American values, individual heroism is advocated, but there is no collectivism. For example, in "Saving Private Ryan", in order to let a mother just
Cun's son was rescued, and an entire team was put in danger. In the eyes of Americans, this is a humanistic sentiment.
However, Wang Lei's behavior of disregarding the lives of other team members and even civilians in order to save 320,000 people in Hangzhou is completely hegemonic. For a while, the young actor who played the role of Wang Lei was not very popular in China, but he was one after another in the American media.
Being reported, I don’t know whether to be happy or depressed.
However, in Chris's view, these criticisms and arguments are the best means of publicity. He doesn't care about being scolded. Looking at the steadily improving box office trend every day, he even wishes that these guys could scold him even harder.
Amid this controversy, the North American box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached US$134 million in its second week, and the number of theaters showing it also exceeded 800. The Hollywood media was in an uproar for a while, and some even openly shouted: "
