Chapter 530: A New Era for Chinese Science Fiction: The Coming of a New Era
The first day box office of "The Wandering Earth" is officially released.
On the first day of the film's release in mainland China, thanks to its high screening rate, The Wandering Earth grossed 1.068 billion RMB. The film's real-time box office revenue on the first day exceeded 1 billion RMB, a staggering figure.
Although the movie is quite long, the ticket price is also very expensive. These theaters have a simple and crude pricing. This movie is equivalent to two movies in length, so their pricing is double the original 3D blockbuster price as the base price.
Cinemas that charge 50 yuan to see this movie are very rare, and many cinemas charge more than 100 yuan. Because of this, although "The Wandering Earth" took a long time to be released, its returns were very high.
However, this time, the revenue of "The Wandering Earth" in China is nothing compared to its global revenue, because the revenue of "The Wandering Earth" outside of mainland China is even more outrageous.
The box office revenue of $544 million made everyone gasp. On the first day alone, the film earned $202 million in the North American market and $186 million in Europe.
The box office in Japan and South Korea was also extremely high, breaking records directly. Even in the Indian market, "The Wandering Earth" achieved extremely high box office this time.
Although the box office data of some other small countries are not high, many countries have also broken their records. Moreover, small amounts add up to a lot, and all the countries combined have created this terrifying box office result.
Including mainland China, the first-day box office of "The Wandering Earth" reached a terrifying 701 million US dollars. This result is unprecedented not only in China, but also in the global film market.
Of course, if inflation is taken into account, the performance of "The Wandering Earth" is not the highest.
But even so, this film has broken many film records. This achievement belongs to Su Yang, to Qingyao Media, to Chinese cinema, and to world cinema.
Looking at the results, Su Yang laughed, while the media outside went crazy.
"The Wandering Earth's first-day box office results have been released, with the global box office exceeding $700 million, setting a new global box office record..."
"The first-day box office results are out, and 'The Wandering Earth' has become a true legend. Su Yang's productions never disappoint..."
"A new era for Chinese science fiction films: 'The Wandering Earth' breaks $700 million in global box office on its first day..."
"The wolf is coming, Hollywood should wake up. Chinese science fiction films are on the rise..."
"On Su Yang's influence, 'The Wandering Earth' broke many global film records..."
Global media outlets reported this incident frantically, and online, it became the biggest trending search. This success, especially on the Chinese Internet, had countless netizens cheering.
"Fuck, Brother Yang is so awesome, he really is worthy of being Brother Yang..."
"I've said it before, The Wandering Earth is going to be a hit. Brother Yang's move was disappointing that time..."
"Brother Yang is deified as soon as he takes action..."
"Chinese science fiction blockbusters are officially on the rise..."
"Brother Yang feels wronged, Qingyao Media is awesome..."
"My brother-in-law's acting is pretty good this time, very on point..."
Chinese netizens were discussing this enthusiastically. This result was simply incredible. Proud, they were very proud at this moment.
Science fiction movies. Over the years, countless netizens have dreamed that one day China will be able to produce a real science fiction blockbuster that can rival Hollywood's science fiction blockbusters.
Now such a blockbuster has finally arrived. The shock brought by "The Wandering Earth" has allowed them to witness the charm of Chinese science fiction blockbusters, and the performance of this movie did not disappoint everyone.
The achievements of "The Wandering Earth" mark the arrival of a new era. It not only represents the rise of Chinese science fiction films, but also represents that Chinese films have initially established a firm foothold in the global market. A movie made audiences around the world suddenly realize that Chinese science fiction blockbusters are so good.
The implantation of this concept is crucial. With this concept, Chinese science fiction blockbusters will have a place in the international market in the future, of course, provided that they do not commit suicide.
This was also what Su Yang was most worried about. When it came to shady dealings, those European and American capitalists were very ruthless. Chinese sci-fi blockbusters were just beginning to gain a foothold. If European and American capital took action, they could simply hire a few Chinese directors to make a few lousy films, and then hype up the films through their media.
After playing this game a few times, the effect is obvious. The reputation that Qingyao Media has worked so hard to build will definitely be destroyed.
Frowning, Su Yang felt that this matter must be taken seriously. The success of "The Wandering Earth" is both an opportunity and a challenge for Chinese films.
In the future, Chinese films cannot rely on Qingyao Media alone. If Chinese films are ruined by foreigners with ulterior motives, everyone will suffer.
Thinking of this, Su Yang turned on his computer and started typing.
We need to unite more people, more capital, and tie more interests together. There is strength in numbers. The future of Chinese films must not be ruined in the hands of certain villains.
Early the next morning, after Su Yang had breakfast, he and Tang Qing turned on the video for a video conference.
"Sister Qing, there's something very important that you need to do. This not only concerns Qingyao Media, but also the development of China's entire cultural industry. Please contact the relevant authorities. This matter must have national support. 'The Wandering Earth' is an opportunity, but also a challenge."
Su Yang's words made Tang Qing's expression serious.
"Western countries will certainly be dissatisfied with the rise of Chinese films, and may even disapprove of it. This will affect their values, and they will inevitably use various methods to attack us in the future. Therefore, we must prepare now. First, we must unite and establish an association. The purpose of this association is to ensure the quality of our future Chinese films and produce as many good works as possible."
"Secondly, we need to establish rules. We can bring along those who abide by them. Those who don't will be killed. We absolutely cannot allow a single bad apple to spoil the whole bunch. At the same time, we also need to make preparations in theaters and on streaming platforms. We must have our own channels..."
Su Yang and Tang Qing discussed the matter seriously. To sum it up simply, it is to establish rules, control theater chains, build streaming media, create a cultural industry landscape belonging to China, and carry out the interests of China's cultural industry. Only in this way can China's cultural industry grow stronger and better in the future. This is no longer the business of Qingyao Media alone, but the business of the entire industry.
