"Iron Man grossed $35 million on its opening day in the United States?"
"Really? Is the news accurate?"
"Of course it's true. DaXu Culture said it themselves, how could it be false?"
Besides, if it's fake news, it will be exposed quickly, there's no need for that..."
"Wow, that's amazing! Thirty-five million US dollars is equivalent to more than two hundred million in Chinese currency."
I originally thought Iron Man would be a hit even if he went to the United States, but I never expected him to be this popular.
"Hahaha, what did those 'Hollywood' people say back then? They said that our Great Xia doesn't have any science fiction movies."
Now things are great. Iron Man grossed $35 million on its opening day, and it's sure to go even higher.
...
"I'm really looking forward to seeing Iron Man's total box office in the US. It's sure to surpass Starship."
"That's right! Didn't John, the director of that starship, say that the audience in our Great Xia has a poor appreciation level?"
"Once 'Iron Man' surpasses his 'Starship' at the box office in the US, let's see what he has to say then!"
"It's just a bit strange, why is there no news from the United States?"
"You know, their timeline is twelve hours ahead of ours, so the Iron Man box office figures should have been out by now."
"Could it be that they've fallen short of their expectations, which is why they're all silent now?"
...
The questions raised by netizens on DaXia are also the questions raised by the news media.
The buzz surrounding it from a few days ago is still lingering.
So when the news from Daxu Culture got out, some people who knew foreign languages translated it and uploaded it to the internet.
As night fell in Daxia, Iron Man in the United States began its second day of screenings.
Meanwhile, news about Daxia gradually spread.
However, the people in the industry at 'Haolaiwu' didn't believe the news at first glance.
And it immediately switched to taunting mode:
"Hahaha, this news is so fake! There was no sci-fi movie from Great Xia at all yesterday!"
"It seems that netizens in Daxia have blind faith in their science fiction, but this is 'Haolaiwu'."
"Thirty-five million US dollars at the box office? Hahaha, that's enough for 'Holaw' to be in the top ten on the first day of the week."
"That's right! I checked, and the film that grossed $35 million yesterday was called 'Iron-Man'."
Wait, why is the movie poster featuring a face of someone of Xia descent? My god, could this be...?
...
Finally, someone noticed something was wrong.
This movie, titled 'Iron-Man,' is not only a science fiction film with a poster featuring a face of a Great Xia descendant, but it is also directed by a strange name: 'Lou Xu'.
What's most shocking is that it's actually not a 'Holaw' production, because it comes from Great Xia!
At this point, everyone in the 'Haolaiwu' industry was stunned.
They seemed to have witnessed the most incredible thing.
Keep in mind that this film grossed $35 million on its opening day, and it's a sci-fi movie.
Even in a place like 'Haolaw,' that's a pretty impressive achievement.
This group of people in the industry were dumbfounded:
"God, what's going on? That sci-fi movie from Great Xia wasn't called this before."
"This is incredible. A science fiction film from Great Xia actually made it into the top ten at the box office."
"What kind of magic does this 'Iron Man' possess that makes the people of the United States love it so much?"
"I was shocked. How could those theaters give a film like 'The Great Xia' so many screenings?"
Normally, a film from the Great Xia would never have such a limited screening schedule.
...
In fact, after the opening day box office results for Iron Man were released, major cinema chains in the United States also noticed that something was wrong.
However, after a thorough inspection, no abnormalities were found.
Ultimately, they could only attribute it to some kind of system bug, which is why this science fiction film set in the Great Xia Dynasty became an instant hit.
Moreover, these theater chains in the United States don't care what type of Iron Man is or where he comes from; capital worships money.
As long as Iron Man can make them money, then a small number of screenings doesn't matter at all.
So we waited until the next day when it was released.
Even without the intervention of the artificial intelligence 'Jenvis', major cinema chains independently increased the number of screenings of Iron Man.
...
at the same time.
John Woo, the director of Starship, finally learned about the opening day box office results for Iron Man.
His first reaction was disbelief; he felt it was impossible for such a thing to happen.
However, after seeing the exact data, he changed his tune and said that the film just got incredibly lucky.
"It's all luck. Once today's data comes out, this movie's box office will definitely drop significantly."
John said so.
He didn't think the people of the United States would like science fiction films from the Great Xia Kingdom.
The reason why Iron Man had such a high box office on its opening day might just be because people were curious.
But once they understand the quality of this science fiction film from the Great Xia Dynasty, they will definitely not go to see it.
John was full of confidence in this.
However, he was slapped in the face by reality almost immediately after saying those words.
