Li Qi is going crazy!

His movie was a hit.

And the explosion was beyond his expectation!

He originally thought that the total box office of this movie would be a few million at best.

But……

The reality was far beyond his expectations. In just two days, the total box office reached 17 million!

Damn...

After seeing this data, Li Qi felt like his brain wasn’t working properly!

The movie was a blast.

The news was so explosive that Li Qi himself began to doubt his life.

When he saw the box office results, he initially thought that his parents were behind the film, so he called his family.

But the response he got was that his parents had no idea that he had joined "Remote" Entertainment, let alone that he was making this movie.

After all, Lu Yuan’s name is too big on the Internet. Basically everyone only knows Lu Yuan and not Li Qi.

After getting this answer, Li Qi was so excited!

He spent the whole day of April 7th in a daze. He just laughed foolishly when others talked to him or greeted him. Many people who used to be in the circle called him to congratulate him. Countless so-called "brother", "Director Li", "buddy" and other names and flattering voices surrounded him and judged him.

If it were in the past, he would be immersed in this vanity and unable to extricate himself, thinking that he was the best in the world and the leader of future science fiction movies.

But now…

Now he just smiled at those things, dealt with them casually and then died.

He will no longer casually promise an actor his next movie, nor will he build relationships with the so-called "investors", nor will he get involved with the so-called "friends in the circle".

He understands that this world is actually very realistic.

When he was at his lowest point, he endured too much disdain and contempt.

It is easy for a person to see many things clearly when he is at his lowest point. At least Li Qi feels that he has seen too many things clearly.

He shook his head.

He found that now, in addition to being foolishly happy, he also remained a little sober and grateful to Lu Yuan...

Li Qi's success made Fatty Wei feel threatened.

If the current results continue, the box office of "This Man From Earth" in China is likely to exceed 300 million!

300 million is definitely a terrifying height. The total box office of all Chinese movies in April is not as high as this movie.

This sci-fi movie!

The explosion of this movie really put a lot of pressure on Wei Pangzi. Now he just wants to finish filming "Groundhog Day" as soon as possible and release it on May 1st...

Even though he is a veteran of the company and has always held a very high position in the company, and even his position in the future will not be too bad, the pride in Fatty Wei's heart will not allow him to lose!

At least we can’t lose at the box office!

So Fatty Wei felt that he had to be more strict with himself in the days to come. He felt that he still needed to improve the quality of the film, including some of the details in it.

Only high-quality Chinese films will have a future!

Movies starring young actors may have box office appeal, but it won’t last long!

This is how Fatty Wei reminded himself.

…

"The Man From Earth" rushed into the April movie battle circle like a ferocious flood beast, and then unreasonably bit other similar movies.

In early April, the arrogant Hollywood movie "You and Your Future Self" was completely unable to withstand the brutal attack of "The Man from Earth" and was beaten so hard that it could not speak.

Whether in terms of audience impression and word of mouth, online ratings, or even popularity, "This Man From Earth" completely beats "Your Future Self". It can be said that the two are completely not on the same level.

Miracles are still happening, or rather, invisible records are still being created...

It has just begun.

Early morning of April 8th.

Thomson once again looked at the box office of "Your Future Self" and "The Man From Earth"...

The box office results on the 7th found Thomson ironic.

"This Man From Earth" had a box office of 18 million, and "Your Future Self" had a box office of exactly 9 million.

The two stood at the same starting line and on the same battlefield, but their data was more than half different.

This left Thomson even more speechless.

Such a huge box office gap cannot be made up by advertising, publicity or other corresponding means.

It is only a matter of time before "Your Future Self" encounters a setback in China.

The rise of "This Man From Earth" is just a matter of time.

Every successful director has failed before, and Thomson has failed too. However, this was the first time Thomson felt such a huge sense of frustration since he became a director, which made him unable to recover for a long time.

However, the only thing that Thompson found acceptable was that the box office of "Your Future Self" was only suppressed in China, but it was still very popular in other countries. The total global box office revenue also surpassed "The Man from Earth" by a large margin.

After all, one is just the Chinese daily box office, and the other is the world daily box office.

That's the difference!

When he thought of this, Thomson felt a little bit of superiority.

No matter how bad I am, I am still a Hollywood movie and I have channels all over the world.

No matter how good you are, you are just a Chinese movie, and you are only played in China.

Chinese movies and Hollywood movies...

After all, there is an insurmountable gap.

…

"Eighteen million per day?"

“This data is scary!”

"Yeah, if 'Alien' is a dark horse, then 'The Man From Earth' is a dark horse darker than coal!"

"Don't say too much, just say that Er Gouzi is awesome and that's it!"

"Yeah, I'm suddenly very interested in the movie Groundhog Day that Er Gouzi released in May. It's also a science fiction movie, but a science fiction movie without special effects!"

"Yeah, that's right! I'm looking forward to it, but I hope nothing weird happens with that movie?"

"I don't know. Er Gouzi really can't tell..."

“…”

The popularity of "This Man From Earth" has, in a sense, given everyone hope for science fiction films.

Chinese science fiction films seem to be on the rise!

Special effects blockbusters, bloody scenes, chaotic horror scenes and countless high-tech equipment...

You can still make a good science fiction film without these things, and it can still make the box office explode!

After seeing the box office performance of this movie, many science fiction screenwriters were inspired and prepared to follow suit without hesitation.

Many directors who had no money scraped together more than one million yuan in investment and began to sharpen their knives, announcing on Weibo that they were going to make science fiction films!

Many movie titles such as "This God is Human", "This Human is Not Simple", and "Monsters from Earth" were submitted to the relevant departments for filing, and then the movie scripts were submitted...

So many things popped up overnight like mushrooms after rain!

The investment for these films is as low as one million yuan, and as high as four or five million yuan. In short, everyone is now eyeing small-budget science fiction films, hoping that they will become a big hit...

I don’t want to be the first person to try something new, but it’s always okay to eat some of the leftovers and soup.

The relevant departments are really speechless about this situation, but seeing that there are no problems with the scripts and investments, they can't possibly get stuck in the future, right?

So they were all approved.

…

As soon as the box office numbers came out, Wu Tingting knocked on Lu Yuan's office door with great interest.

Lu Yuan saw the box office results.

The daily box office is 18 million, and the total box office is already 35 million!

This result was achieved in less than three days. If nothing unexpected happens, this movie may really break 300 million!

Make a fortune!

At this moment, this result was enough to make Lu Yuan feel elated. With a result of 300 million, after deducting a series of dividends, he would get at least 80 million!

If he spends another 30 million or so on renovating the two buildings in Hangzhou Science and Technology Park after spending 80 million, he will still have 50 million left!

Fifty million!

That’s enough, this is the money I can save!

The reason why I was so worried before was because I had no money, but now that I have 50 million in liquid funds, I don’t have to worry anymore.

Very happy and excited.

However, although Lu Yuan was extremely excited in his heart, he appeared calm on the surface.

He stood up and looked at the night view in the distance.

He sighed.

There seems to be some feeling of sighing.

"Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?" Wu Tingting was stunned. "Mr. Lu, are you dissatisfied with the current box office situation?"

"No……"

"Then why are you unhappy?"

"I found that since this movie became popular, I lost a lot of things, such as..." Lu Yuan sighed in a low and hoarse voice.

"For example?" Wu Tingting was stunned. It was supposed to be a very exciting thing, but Lu Yuan's behavior made her feel a little weird?

Lost a lot of things?

What?

"Nothing, you can go down first, it's so late and you should go to bed early."

"Oh, Mr. Lu, don't think too much, everything will be fine..."

"Yes, I understand."

"Then I'll go down first?"

"Yeah, okay."

Wu Tingting closed the door after leaving.

Although she comforted Lu Yuan, she really didn't understand what Mr. Lu had lost.

Lu Yuan took out a piece of chewing gum and started chewing it. The gum tasted fragrant and comfortable.

In fact, he really wanted to say that he had lost the worry of having no money, and he was now almost a poor man without worries.

but……

He finally stopped talking.

He felt that he might be beaten if he said this...

Even if I don't get beaten, I still feel like I'm too cheap and too pretentious.

He couldn't be such a bitch...

He wants to be an honest, hardworking and serious person.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

Just at this moment, his cell phone rang.

"Hello?"

"???"

The series of English words on the other end of the phone made Lu Yuan confused at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he finally understood it.

This is a call from an American film and television company, from someone named Jenny...

"Hello...Hello...I...can you help me?" Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

Ten years to sharpen a sword!

The English he had learned for so long finally came in handy.

Although there were some bumps and bruises, Lu Yuan felt good about himself.

"Mr. Lu, hello... May I ask if you have given the global distribution rights of "This Man From Earth" to other companies?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and then fluent Chinese was spoken again.

She didn't mean to compete with Lu Yuan in English...

Or perhaps Lu Yuan's English was difficult for her to understand.
