In the past, they could only construct that mysterious prehistoric world in their minds by reading prehistoric novels, and a thousand readers would have a thousand different prehistoric worlds in their hearts.
And now, this vast and boundless world has finally been brought to life.
In the film, all living beings are as insignificant as ants in this vast world.
As time went by, the oath made when the three clans were founded gave Li Chenghao goosebumps.
Originally, it was just a simple line: "My name is Zulong, the ancestor of the dragon race. I founded the dragon race on the shore of the East Sea. The scaled and armored race will take the dragon race as their leader. I hope Heaven will bear witness to this."
However, in the film's portrayal, the domineering nature of the First Emperor, the fervor of his followers, and the indifference of Heaven's will are vividly displayed at this moment.
Perhaps because all Chinese people call themselves descendants of the dragon, the audience unconsciously put themselves in the perspective of the Ancestral Dragon, to the point that they completely ignored the Ancestral Phoenix and the Ancestral Qilin.
Poor "Little Sweetie" must be feeling really down this time. She worked so hard to become the lead in this blockbuster, but even though the movie was a success, she's still completely ignored and has been grandly overlooked once again.
Perhaps if she had chosen the role of Daenerys Targaryen, the second female lead, she wouldn't have felt so frustrated.
Just as Li Chenghao was getting into watching, the first part, "The Dragon and Phoenix Calamity," suddenly ended.
Li Chenghao was stunned: "No way, buddy, that's it?"
He checked the time. Well, the movie was an hour and fifty minutes long, which wasn't actually that short.
But at this moment, he was still immersed in the stunning visual feast he had just witnessed, unable to extricate himself from it for a long time.
Even viewers with no prior knowledge of the ancient world will not have a bad viewing experience after watching this movie.
After returning home, Li Chenghao tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep.
So he simply got up, turned on his computer, and started chatting with everyone in the group.
At that moment, countless people in the group, just like him, were having a lively discussion after watching the movie. Their excitement successfully piqued the curiosity of those group members who hadn't originally planned to go to the movies.
Previously, the author, Master Lingtai, promoted the film, which could be understood as a way to boost box office sales for the movie adapted from his work. But now, everyone who has seen the movie is praising it. Who could resist going to see it?
Everyone expressed their desire to rush to the cinema to experience this stunning audio-visual feast.
The National Day weekend passed quickly.
In that single day, "The Great Cataclysm of the Primordial Era: Dragon and Phoenix" generated 300 million yuan in box office revenue, successfully topping the weekend box office charts and completely overtaking the previous champion, "Never Say Die," leaving the latter powerless to fight back.
After all, its box office revenue in one day exceeded that of "Never Say Die" in two days. It would be strange if it could still complain.
However, when they learned that the production cost of this film was more than ten times that of "Never Say Die," the producers of "Never Say Die" were somewhat comforted.
Of course, only they themselves know what they are really thinking.
Domestically, this film has already achieved remarkable success, while internationally, it has created a sensation.
Because the film had no prior foundation overseas, it was sent for preview screenings as soon as it received its film license.
After the preview screenings generated buzz, the film had already amassed a considerable fan base by the time it was released simultaneously.
On its first day of release, it grossed $13 million in the United States and performed well in European countries, contributing a total of more than 9 million euros to the box office.
From the second day to the seventh day, "The Great Calamity of the Dragon and Phoenix" swept through the box office like a whirlwind, leaving other films released at the same time with no chance to fight back, and directly achieving a box office grand slam.
During the seven-day National Day holiday, box office revenue soared: 310 million yuan on the first day, 460 million yuan on the second day, 580 million yuan on the third day, 630 million yuan on the fourth day, and 540 million yuan on the fifth day.
Just when everyone thought it would be difficult for the film to reach new heights, on the sixth day, the movie released a huge surprise.
At this point, its overseas box office revenue had exceeded $300 million and was still growing rapidly.
Domestically, the box office reached 830 million yuan on the sixth day, and 760 million yuan on the seventh day, the last day of the holiday.
This series of figures left countless film industry professionals dumbfounded, and even somewhat numb.
They couldn't help but exclaim, "What's going on? When did making money in the film industry become so easy?"
In just seven days, the film grossed 4.11 billion yuan.
This year has truly been a phenomenal year for the film industry. In July, "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, breaking the box office ceiling for domestic films with a total of 5.694 billion yuan.
Unexpectedly, an even more impressive one came in October, raking in 4.11 billion yuan at the box office in just seven days.
Everyone is speculating whether this movie will break the box office record of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Some people secretly thought that weekday box office would definitely drop significantly, and the results would definitely be very bad. It was a bit funny to think about.
However, to their surprise, the arrival of the workday did not cool down the film's popularity.
Instead, it spurred another group of liberals to join the effort, as they had long coveted the film.
As a result, on the eighth working day, the film still grossed 650 million yuan, bringing the total box office to 4.76 billion yuan.
Upon seeing these results, Principal Wang was overjoyed, like a spoiled rich kid.
What does this mean? It not only made his investment incredibly profitable, but also made theater chains extremely happy, especially overseas theaters, which were revitalized by this movie.
Previously, overseas theaters had not performed well for various reasons, but now, with just the first part of this movie, the investment has been recouped and a big profit has been made.
The thought of the profits after the next episode is released makes Principal Wang very excited.
Unable to contain his excitement any longer, he came to find Zhang Long.
"Young Master Wang, you've been quite the sensation lately, everyone's calling you the nation's husband. What brings you here to a nobody like me for some advice?"
Principal Wang was incredibly shameless, completely ignoring Zhang Long's teasing and smiling at Xiao Zhou beside him, "Xiao Zhou, go get me a bottle of freshly squeezed orange juice."
With Hu Xinxin not around, he treated the place like his own home. He picked up Zhang Long's cigarette from the sofa, lit it, and then stuffed it into his pocket before leaning back casually on the sofa.
