One day after the release of the two sci-fi films on the first day of the Lunar New Year, the reviews on the Internet were completely different.

"The Wandering Earth" filled the blank of domestic sci-fi movies. In fact, the audience didn't have high expectations for it at the beginning. They just hoped that it would not be a bad movie. But no one thought that this movie directed and acted by Shao Yang A sci-fi film that captivated the audience as soon as it was released.

On the other hand, the first "Time Traveler", which was not bad, became a bad movie in the mouth of the audience, and it seemed even more pale in comparison.

The second day of the new year.

evening.

Five thirty.

Shaoyang opened the online live meeting of "The Wandering Earth" on Douyin.

As soon as the live broadcast room appeared, it was automatically pushed to the mobile phones of many viewers, and tens of thousands of viewers soon poured into the live broadcast room.

"Oh hoo, here I come."

"It's really rare to have a live broadcast."

"I haven't watched the movie yet, but I have already bought the tickets. This year's ticket price has increased a lot."

"Let me ask first, is there a second part of The Wandering Earth?"

"Let's make sci-fi movies in the future, please."

"Just got back from the cinema, this movie was amazing."

"I didn't expect the production of this movie to be so awesome. After watching the movie, apart from being shocked, I also have an inexplicable feeling that the motherland is stronger."

"..."

Shao Yang said hello while watching the barrage.

He first answered one of the most anticipated questions of the audience, that is, whether there will be a second part of The Wandering Earth.

"I believe that audiences who have watched The Wandering Earth know that it is too difficult to make a second film of this movie. Li Peiqiang, who I played, has already sacrificed in the ending, which means that a line in the movie has been broken."

"Of course, I can also choose to forcibly resurrect the character 'Liu Peiqiang', but this is too far-fetched in terms of the plot. I can't write such a script that violates the basic logic."

"After the first day of release yesterday, I saw a lot of people looking forward to the second part on the Internet. If the box office of the first part is okay and the word-of-mouth is good, I will consider making a prequel as the second part. There's nothing logical about that."

The barrage scrolled quickly.

""The Wandering Earth" broke 30 million on the first day, and [-] billion is definitely no problem."

"30 billion? Who do you look down on? I feel like I can reach 40 billion."

"If the money is not enough, let's crowdfund directly."

"What are you thinking, brother Yang will be short of money?"

"..."

Shao Yang said with a smile: "If there is a second film to be made, then I estimate that the investment cost will exceed one billion. In other words, the box office of 30 billion may only be able to protect the capital."

"Cost one billion? I'll be good."

"It's no wonder that other directors are afraid to touch the subject of science fiction films. The cost alone is so high. If the box office is not satisfactory, they will have to pay for it."

"Why do you spend so much money?"

"..."

Shao Yang said casually: "The main cost of the Wandering Earth is shooting and post-production. Let's take the post-production as an example. There are more than 100 technicians involved in the production of the special effects shots of the Wandering Earth. I recruited more than 100 people. The salary of the technical talents who came here is a huge expense, and we also found some other companies to outsource some special effects shots, so the money spent here is really not a small amount.”

"I also read on the Internet that some people say that the special effects shots of "The Wandering Earth" are burning money. This is true, the special effects shots of this movie are burning money."

"If I want to shoot the second part, in addition to these special effects shots, I will also work on props, such as quantum computers, astronaut maneuvering devices, exoskeleton robots, drone jamming guns, etc., I plan to use real objects , looking for a dedicated studio to develop it..."

"It can also be a significant expense."

Shaoyang and netizens interacted through barrage. During the live broadcast, Yang Lan also helped set up the lucky draw, and gave away tens of thousands of movie ticket exchange coupons.

After that, I connected with several leading actors of the movie, and before I knew it, an hour and a half passed.

Just when Shaoyang felt that it was almost time to end.

Yang Lan suddenly reminded from the side: "Shaoyang, Brother Hua has entered our live broadcast room."

"real or fake?"

"I looked backstage, and it's true."

Shao Yang quickly waved to the camera: "Brother Hua, long time no see."

All the bullet screens are also swiping [Welcome Brother Hua]

Liu Ronghua also just watched The Wandering Earth in the cinema, and his heart was shocked. He heard his assistant say that Shaoyang was live broadcasting, so he went into the Douyin live broadcast room to watch it.

Hearing Shaoyang greet himself.

Liu Ronghua also typed: "Long time no see, I just finished watching The Wandering Earth, it's very exciting, I like it very much."

Seeing the barrage posted by Liu Ronghua, Shao Yang said directly: "Brother Hua, fans have asked me to make the second part of The Wandering Earth, are you interested in participating?"

When Liu Ronghua heard this, he thought that Shaoyang was joking, so he sent a message to Shaoyang on WeChat asking him whether it was for the effect of the live broadcast or for the truth?

When Shao Yang saw the news, he quickly smiled and said, "Of course it's true. Do you want to see Brother Hua participate in the second part of The Wandering Earth?"

"miss you!"

"This is possible!"

"miss you!"

"miss you!"

The audience in the live broadcast room started swiping their screens.

Liu Ronghua quickly said: "It would be my honor if I could act in "The Wandering Earth 2"."

"Brother Hua, shall we talk in private then?"

"okay"

Liu Ronghua's agent couldn't help but said: ""The Wandering Earth" has a great influence in the mainland. If you can act in the second part, the benefits will be great."

"If Shaoyang really asks me to act in the second part, I don't need to be paid."

"Uh……"

Shao Yang also waved goodbye to the camera at this time: "It's getting late, we'll stop talking today, if you have anything to say, you can leave a message on my Weibo and Douyin, I will read it when I have time. "

"goodbye!"

After saying goodbye, the live broadcast ended.

At twelve o'clock in the evening, the next day's movie box office also came out.

Wandering Earth: 2.98 million!

After Shaoyang saw this figure, he asked about the box office of "Time Traveler 2".

It was about the same as Shaoyang expected.

The box office of "Time Traveler 2" on the second day was not as good as the first day, only 600 million, and many of them were pre-sale tickets.

The disparity is growing.

Peng Ming's promotion at the global box office didn't help at all.

On the third, fourth, and fifth days after that, the box office gap gradually widened.

"The Wandering Earth" is the best among all Spring Festival movies, and the number of films scheduled has reached an astonishing 61.9%.

In just five days, the box office broke 15 billion.

According to this trend, it is definitely a certainty to break into the top ten domestic movie box office charts.

At this time, the total box office of "Time Traveler 2" is only [-] million, which is still the global box office. In China, the box office of this movie has just exceeded [-] million.

Peng Ming has already collapsed.

This investment has been a loss for him.
