Chapter 539: The Wandering Earth 2 grossed 58 billion yuan on its first day, and Director Zhou gross

"Director Zhou, I wish The Wandering Earth 2 a big box office success!"

“I wish “The Wandering Earth 2” will achieve greater success!”

The premiere of "The Wandering Earth 1" was held at the end of January, which can be regarded as the top event in the entertainment industry.

Just like the original "Dying to Survive", it was Zhou Qing's return to Chinese entertainment after he became a legend through "The Revenant".

This "The Wandering Earth 2" is Zhou Qing's comeback work after he became a legend through "Barbie".

In addition, it is the sequel of a top IP, and many big names such as Liu Yifei, Wu Jing and Liu Dehua have joined the cast.

It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most important movie of the year.

Even a big shot can guess the attitude of the circle towards this movie.

I don’t know how many big stars, CEOs of film and television companies, etc. came.

It is no exaggeration to say that the premiere of "The Wandering Earth 2" was more luxurious than the lineup of some film festivals.

"Hey, when can I reach Director Zhou's level?"

Wu Jing in the crowd couldn't help but sigh.

His "Wolf Warrior 3" is still in preparation and is not expected to start shooting until next year.

So there is absolutely no problem in taking a day off to support your boss.

"Wu Jing, you are getting carried away. You actually want to catch up with Qingzi?"

Zhu Yawen couldn't help but roll his eyes at Wu Jing.

He knew that Wu Jing was preparing for "Wolf Warrior 3" and even believed that "Wolf Warrior 3" had the potential to be a hit.

Maybe it will become another blockbuster movie with a box office of 2 or billion like "Wolf Warrior ".

But even so, Wu Jing and Qingzi cannot compare.

You have to know that Qingzi's current position in the circle is not just established by a few box office hits.

He has cleared all three European countries.

He also won two Best Director awards at the Oscars.

He has also produced films that have been box office hits all over the world.

All these incredible achievements combined together made Qingzi achieve the supreme godhood.

It’s not that Zhu Yawen underestimates Huayu. Looking at all the directors in Huayu, who can catch up with Qingzi?

Totally impossible.

On international awards?
In the entire Chinese entertainment industry, only Master Zhang can be compared with him, but Master Zhang can only win the three major awards, not an Oscar at all.

On international box office?
Well, Qingzi is the only one in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, and no other director can compare to her.

Even Master Zhang is far inferior to him.

On domestic box office?
Qingzi is also the first by a huge margin.

Just take the box office champions of all years, almost all of them have been monopolized by Qingzi.

Most of the various records for Chinese-language films are also held by Qingzi.

Even though there are movies like "Detective Chinatown 3", "Wolf Warrior 2", "Hi, Mom" ​​and so on which have box office of over billion yuan, no one can challenge Qingzi in terms of domestic data.

Wu Jing had only filmed a movie called "Wolf Warrior 2" but he came up with such an unrealistic idea.

If it’s not floating, then what is it?
"I didn't say that. Can't I just dream about it?"

Wu Jing waved his hands repeatedly. How could he dare to admit this?

What's more, Wu Jing is not without someone who can force him to do so.

He's just a director who can't help but envy Zhou Qing for his respected status in the circle.

"Okay, of course. Just take your time to look forward to it."

Zhu Yawen reached out and patted Wu Jing on the shoulder and ignored him.

Instead, he began to walk around the venue and started to socialize.

"Yawen."

"Brother Yawen."

Along the way, countless people came running to greet Zhu Yawen enthusiastically.

There is no other reason, Zhu Yawen is now truly the top male star in the Chinese entertainment industry.

After the two superstars Li Lianjie and Cheng Long grew old and became out of fashion, Zhu Yawen became the most awesome one.

The movies in which she starred had the highest box office, and she also broke into Hollywood and the international arena with "Barbie".

Who can compete with it?
It can be said that apart from Liu Yifei, no one can compare with Zhu Yawen.

Zhu Yawen kept smiling throughout the whole process and dealt with everyone in an orderly manner.

Although there is no role for Zhu Yawen in "The Wandering Earth 2", who can blame him for making the director his boss and good friend?
Zhu Yawen must have done his best to entertain the guests for Zhou Qing.

"Director Zhou."

"Director Zhou."

Zhou Qing is much more popular than Zhu Yawen.

No matter how great Zhu Yawen is, he is just an actor.

But Zhou Qing is a top director and a financial investor.

The two sides are not on the same level at all.

All in all, the overall atmosphere of this premiere was extremely hot.

Especially when it came to the most critical part of watching the movie, everyone's appetite in the entire theater could be said to have been whetted.

You know, the high reputation of "The Wandering Earth 2" has been spread a long time ago.

Everyone knows that this sequel is also extremely well-made, and it is even said that its reputation is better than the first one.

The first part of "The Wandering Earth" is of high quality in itself.

Everyone is really eager to see whether the second part is really as good as the legend says.

“Human beings are essentially just a bunch of electrical signals.”

"Your perception of the world, your memories, are all stored here from your brain through this line."

"Yes, save it here."

The first scene of the movie is a scientist expressing his opinion to everyone.

Human memory can be stored in a hard disk.

Frankly speaking, this concept is not a novel setting in science fiction movies, and many movies have had this setting.

It can even be said to be everywhere.

If it were in any other movie, people wouldn't have high hopes.

How can a movie that rehashes old cliches be a good movie?

But since it was shot by Director Zhou, it must be different.

Everyone still maintains high expectations.

Facts have proved that everyone's expectations were not in vain, because everyone soon discovered that the story of "The Wandering Earth 2" has nothing to do with the old plot at the beginning.

It is not about scientific research at all, but a tragic elegy for humanity written from three perspectives, namely Liu Peiqiang, Tu Hengyu and Zhou Zhezhi.

Faced with a global annihilation-level disaster, how can mankind work together to overcome the difficulties? There will also be despair, turmoil and sacrifice.

That grand and tragic proposition was perfectly presented by Zhou Qing.

The old science fiction plot at the beginning is just a patch.

Otherwise, Tu Hengyu's line would be a little abrupt, and some people would not understand it. But with the setting that human memory can be stored in the hard disk, everything will be fine.

"Wonderful, so wonderful!"

"The Wandering Earth 2 is even better than the first one!"

"Director Zhou has never let us down!"

Hua Hua Hua.

After the movie was over, the entire theater immediately erupted in warm applause.

The atmosphere at the scene was so hot.

“This movie is a success again!”

"As always!"

Feeling the enthusiastic response at the scene, Jiao Hongfen couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile on his face.

The same was true for the two strategic partners, Fiber Optic and Wanda, whose faces were filled with joy.

Director Zhou never disappoints anyone and never fails.

This time the movie is stable again.

"Director Zhou, your movie The Wandering Earth has made a good result of 53 billion yuan. So what are your expectations for this sequel?"

During the interview session, this old question was unsurprisingly brought up again.

“Since it’s the sequel to The Wandering Earth, I hope the box office will at least be no worse than The Wandering Earth.”

Zhou Qing smiled and gave this answer.

In fact, in the original time and space, the box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" was not as good as the first one.

The first film grossed 46 billion yuan at the box office, but the second film grossed slightly less at 40 billion yuan.

But even so, Zhou Qing feels that "The Wandering Earth 2" still has the potential to surpass the first one.

Because the box office of a movie is really affected by many comprehensive factors.

The quality of the film itself is only one aspect, and not the most important aspect.

At present, the marketing of "The Wandering Earth 2" has reached its peak.

In addition, this is her work after her famous return with "Barbie", so the public naturally has higher expectations and enthusiasm.

Taking all these factors into consideration, is it surprising that it surpasses the first film?
"The Wandering Earth 2 held a grand premiere, with Director Zhou attracting dozens of celebrities to attend."

"At the premiere of The Wandering Earth 2, director Zhou Qing said that the box office of The Wandering Earth 2 could surpass that of the previous film."

"The Wandering Earth 2 is about to be released. Can it create the box office miracle of the previous film again?"

Various press releases were circulated, making the popularity of "The Wandering Earth 2" reach a peak again.

Not only "The Wandering Earth 2", other movies such as "Detective Chinatown 1900" and "The Great Swordsman" have also held their premieres one after another.

Several movies scheduled for the Spring Festival have started to go into full swing and are trying hard to make their presence felt.

But it has to be said that judging from various early data, "The Wandering Earth 2" is still far ahead.

So when it is released, can "The Wandering Earth 2" still maintain this advantage?
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, several movies were released.

The answer was quickly answered.

"Director Zhou Qing has made a comeback, and The Wandering Earth 2 has taken the lead in the Spring Festival box office with a box office of 5.8 million yuan on the first day."

"'Detective Chinatown 1900' is a huge hit at the box office, and the new Detective Chinatown is gaining momentum, with a box office of 4.13 million yuan on the first day, ranking third."

"Nezha: The Devil Boy Conquers the Dragon King" recreated the glory of its predecessor and earned 4.32 million yuan on the first day of its release."

"The Wandering Earth 2" earned 5.8 million yuan at the box office on its first day.

Even in this day and age, the data can still be called explosive.

Although it was not as high as Zhou Qing's "Changjin Lake" on the first day, it did surpass the 4.2 million of "The Wandering Earth".

It was also the movie with the highest first-day box office among several blockbusters during the Spring Festival.

This data is already very impressive, what else does Zhou Qing want?

He himself is actually very satisfied with this result.

In addition, "Nezha 2" and "Detective Chinatown 1900" also achieved a first-day box office of over 4 million yuan, just like in the original time and space.

It is only below "The Wandering Earth 2" and is considered the second-tier blockbuster.

However, it is worth mentioning that in the original time and space, the first-day box office of "Nezha 2" reached 4.8 million yuan, and "Detective Chinatown 1900" also reached 4.6 million yuan.

On the day of their release, there was actually not much difference between these two movies; they were completely on the same level.

However, as the release date continued, "Nezha 2" had an extremely terrifying long-tail effect.

It grossed a staggering 150 billion+ at the box office, blinding countless people.

Of course, the first-day data of the two movies are not much different now, but after being weakened by "The Wandering Earth 2", they are only slightly lower than the original time and space.

So what about the other top contenders for the Spring Festival season?
The situation will be much worse.

Ranked third is Xu Ke's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

The first-day box office was also weakened, and the decline was even greater.

In the original time and space, the box office of "The Great Hero" on the first day reached 2.58 million, but now it is only 1.85 million.

What about the fourth place?
It is the "Boonie Bears" which has always been extremely strong!
The film is present in every Spring Festival period and always achieves very impressive results.

The data this time is also quite good. After being weakened by "The Wandering Earth 2", it still won a box office of 1.1 million.

Lin Chaoxian's "Operation Jiaolong" ranked fifth, with only tens of millions.

But this time it is not at the bottom, because there is Wu Ershan’s "Fengshen" at the bottom.

The first-day box office of "Fengshen" was only 4200 million!

Not to mention how pitiful it looks among all the blockbusters during the Spring Festival, it is simply a pair of brothers in distress with "Operation Jiaolong".

Fortunately, the reputation is still good.

But in this extremely cruel Spring Festival period, I don’t know whether it will be able to usher in the final counterattack like in the original time and space.

Of course, even if there is a comeback, it would only be a comeback against the three movies "Operation Dragon", "Boonie Bears" and "The Greatest Hero".

Among those top movies, it is impossible for "Fengshen" to shake their position.

"That's too fierce. Director Zhou, this is too fierce."

"This Spring Festival schedule is Director Zhou's Spring Festival schedule."

"The Spring Festival movie season is really dominated by Director Zhou alone."

When the relevant data came out, it immediately shocked everyone in the circle. It shocked them greatly.

To be honest, the first-day box office of "The Wandering Earth 2" was 5.8 million, which is very impressive. Not many people in the entire industry can achieve it.

But considering that this is Director Zhou, everyone felt that it was no big deal.

Director Zhou has achieved a first-day box office of over 6 million before, which shows his strength.

The key point is that the box office of "Nezha 2" and "Detective Chinatown 1900" is also incredibly high, both of them have exceeded 4 million.

You have to know that the box office of the remaining Spring Festival movies combined did not reach 4 million on the first day.

This means that any one of "Nezha 2" and "Detective Chinatown 100" can beat all the other movies combined!

What a joke!
Director Zhou has really swept away all the other Spring Festival movies.

If you calculate carefully, the box office revenue on the Spring Festival day totaled 18.2 billion yuan, breaking the record in film history.

But the total box office of the movies released by Zhou Qing Pictures reached 14 billion!
