Chapter 470: Put on diapers and watch The Wandering Earth
It starts at 9pm on New Year's Day.

The certified blogs of Nancy, Zhou Wenwen and Huang Yimei in the Spark Blog, as well as the male protagonist Pan Wanli in The Wandering Earth, have become popular again.

Not to mention the first three ladies, who are already queens of Weibo with huge fan bases, and Pan Wanli, who is still a rookie appearing on the big screen for the first time, has seen his fans soar from a few thousand to millions.

A variety of topics and hot topics are hitting the Internet like a volcanic eruption.

Countless moviegoers and audiences only saw 2D template special effects through the cinema-level LCD screens, but don’t forget that they were super special effects. Watching "Yugong Moves the Mountains" with this kind of impact is similar to a normal person watching Avatar in a movie theater.

The terrifying Taihang and Wangwu Mountains, the mountain world set off by countless towering trees, various birds and beasts, and fairy treasures, are a super visual and audio-visual shock.

The Chinese fairy beasts in the fairy-tale style are much more ethereal and domineering than the monsters in the Avatar world. The special effects of a random crane are many times more powerful than the flying dragon trained by the beauty in Avatar. Occasionally, you can see dragons, winged tigers, etc.

The clear and realistic effects are much better than the monsters in Jurassic Park. The first mountain god to appear is a giant more than ten meters tall holding two small dragons. That terrifying appearance is compared with the normal humans in Yugong's family.

It's so realistic, as if there really are such gods in the world, and they are two different species from humans.

As for the Jade Emperor, even though he is not in 3D, the audience is still impressed by his image as the Grand Administrator of the Three Realms and the representative of the laws of divine order as soon as he appears on the stage.

The 10-minute special effects made China and South Korea explode! Many foreign tourists, workers or other people in the two places missed the first screening.

Soon, friends were called to go to various landmark buildings to watch the miracle!
Late at night, whether in China or South Korea, many policemen were alerted to maintain order near various landmark buildings. Even the policemen were stunned and dumbfounded.

All of this is reflected on the Internet, and it is like a super shocking tsunami.

Until the early morning of the 2nd, some people on the Internet spontaneously counted how many species of wild beasts, fairy birds, demon dragons, etc. were shown directly or from the side in the short ten-minute shot of Yugong moving the mountains, with the two sacred mountains of Taihang and Wangwu whizzing by.

The film and television circles in this dimension also have blockbuster series similar to Jurassic Park, Independence Day, and behemoth movies, otherwise they would not be able to break into the global film scene.

But in just ten minutes, there appear one after another huge creatures with wings that are dozens of meters long, and there are also flying dragons that are hundreds of meters long, from the perspective of Yugong's family, the mountain god, Hercules, etc.

A gorgeous crane that's bigger than Yugong's yard, or a golden-winged Roc carrying a giant elephant into the sky.

Those special effects, at least in the movie-watching market that has been baptized by Hollywood special effects, ordinary audiences can clearly see that these are piles of money being burned!
The most terrifying scene is the one where Hercules' son, Fāng Shànzhāng Dàyīn, seems to have stretched the heaven and earth apart, and carries two sacred mountains on his back to chase the stars and take the moon, and then places them back on the earth.

This special effect is a bloodbath in both countries!

After the bloodbath, Nancy's fans soared from over 2000 million to over 3000 million in one go, and it increased by half in just a few days starting from New Year's Day. On the surface, she is the president of Nam's Special Effects Industry, and she is once again hailed as the savior of the film industry who is praised by countless South Korean people.

Such an exaggerated and gorgeous blockbuster is actually just a short film made by Wang Chengguang Film Studio to practice and test the waters? It is directly shown for free.

The four-character idiom "Yugong moves the mountains" has become a hot topic in East Asia since the beginning of the year!

There are even some people who don't believe it, mainly netizens from Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and other places who log on to Xinghuo Video to watch short films online. They found countless people complaining in the barrage that the viewing experience of watching movies on outdoor LCD screens at landmark buildings in their respective cities is at least an upgraded audio-visual feast ten times better than watching them on the Internet using computers.

Those netizens didn’t believe it and went on a trip directly!

This has set off a wave of hot tourism fever. From Beijing to Shanghai, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan, Seoul, and Incheon, enthusiastic tourists flocked here, and when night fell, they watched the audio-visual bombardment of outdoor LCD screens...

numb.

Tourists from East Asia and Southeast Asia were so shocked that they wanted to kneel down to watch the movie in batches! Watching this kind of special effects movie on a super big screen is really different from watching it on a laptop.

The oppressive feeling of various giant beasts and immortal birds is of different degrees.

This popularity also led to dozens of seconds of promotional materials. In a short period of time, the space elevator special effects pushed the popularity of this movie to rise exponentially.

Not to mention the fans that Huang Yimei attracted with her beautiful appearance, the development trajectory of modern technological background, which is completely different from that of Yugong moving the mountains, and the display of future high-tech scenes handmade by normal humans, can attract countless fans in itself.

After just over ten days, the number of fans of Huang Yimei's blog exceeded 2000 million. Wang Chengguang once again asked Nancy to post an update, saying that The Wandering Earth, which will be released at midnight on January 1th, Chinese New Year, will start pre-sale on January 25th.

With the box office pre-sale, the midnight show was sold out in seconds.

It is January 1th, and the pre-sale has been opened for five days. From the Northern Little New Year, the Southern Little New Year to the 20th of the twelfth lunar month, all the shows are fully booked and sold out!

It's like, how can I put it? The more time passes, the more tourists who don't believe that watching movies in the cinema is ten times better than watching them on the computer. After these tourists come, they use their own experience to prove that the cinema is better.

This momentum is growing on the Internet, and ordinary netizens also know that theaters are good.

So the New Year is coming soon, and it’s not a big deal to watch a movie by yourself or with your family, boyfriend or girlfriend, or a few close classmates to reward yourself.

Don’t think that online pre-sales are the same as online shopping now, as it is too difficult. Xiaohuo 7.0 will control the production of various processes. Recharging money is similar to recharging Penguin Coins for the Big Penguin account. The movie ticket sales model is the same as the future process, directly under the Xinghuo Movie section, linking with real-life theaters.

This is a Skynet-level artificial intelligence that can nourish all of humanity in the soulless world.

The pre-sale box office in mainland China is basically 2000 million RMB a day. As long as the cinema has put it on the pre-sale platform, except for some tickets in the early morning of New Year's Eve, all other tickets for the shows before the New Year are sold out.

This means that from the premiere on the 25th to New Year's Eve on the 31st, the box office was very stable at 1.35 million RMB in seven days.

The reason why it can’t sell more is simply because there are no more cinemas and big screens. The screening schedule for "The Wandering Earth" during this time period is close to 100%.

Harbour City and South Korea were not included in the pre-sale model. After all, this involves a certain degree of box office autonomy, and they cannot steal box office tickets or falsify them. It is not convenient for some groups to use the film and television industry to launder money, so they did not join the pre-sale of the Xinghuo platform.

The mainland can be united mainly because many cinema chains themselves have discovered that Wang's Films are vigorously promoting their good business and market. Instead of wasting the little money stolen from the box office, you might as well cooperate with Wang's Films to build a bigger and more glorious market.

If you are greedy for small amounts of money, you might as well take out a mortgage and build yourself a second cinema, or open a ninth branch, etc. After all, there were only more than 9 large screens in the country in 2002.

When the overall market is going up, isn't this the case with Internet cafes opening around 00, which made a lot of money like money-making machines? If you want to make a little money, you might as well open branches like crazy.

January 1st, the premiere date is getting closer and closer.

Inside a stepped auditorium-style floor of a China Film Studio, there is a venue that can accommodate nearly a thousand spectators, and at the front is a giant screen that is much larger than the normal screen in a theater.

This was the first time that Wang Chengguang played the final film of The Wandering Earth after being harassed by countless phone calls. All those who watched The Foolish Old Man Who Moved the Mountains together at the beginning were there, including the main creative team of The Wandering Earth, from the behind-the-scenes staff to the actors.

There were also many who brought their families with them, for example, Huang Yimei's mother, Ma Haowen and his son Ma Fei, Jiang Xueqiong, Bai Erru and Pan Wanli all brought their families with them.

When the movie started showing for the first time...when the 3DIMAX viewing experience came out, there were exclamations everywhere.

The veterans who were mentally prepared all relaxed their whole bodies, and some even put on adult diapers inside their clothes in advance. Facts have proved that those who have such inspiration are definitely talented men and women.

The complete version of the space elevator special effects shot astonished countless viewers, their blood boiling and they couldn't stop shouting. After all, it was an immersive experience, and their body, mind and soul seemed to be flying out of the earth's atmosphere like the elevator.

When the war started with swarms of high-tech drones covering the sky, bombing the air force and destroying the entire base, more than one person was scared to death.

Of course, everyone knows that this is a movie, and the viewing effect is so shocking that not many people are scared to death when they are still rational. On average, one or two people out of 100 accidentally lose control. Now, there are hundreds of people watching the movie together, and the stimulation is a little greater.

After all, the immersive feeling is like being brought into a hail of bullets, being pierced and slaughtered countless times, with flames from exploding planes burning towards you, and fragments of various planes or base buildings flying around.

The sky was filled with falling debris.

This kind of war makes the new generation who grew up in peacetime have an almost unbearable heartbeat and scream like crazy.

When the entire space station was blown up, like a huge island falling from the sky? A blond middle-aged man not far away shouted FUCK, and then ran to Wang Chengguang's side, "Wang Defake, it's only been 30 minutes since the opening, and it's so exciting?"

"Damn it, Wang, you've promoted a new Marvel movie. I swear, this kind of movie-watching experience is already ahead of Hollywood. Damn it, how about I pay 8000 million US dollars for its European and American theater distribution rights?"

This is the theater distributor with whom we have collaborated many times.

On the evening of October 10, after watching the immersive version of Foolish Old Man Moving Mountains, Mr. Han set a small goal at the dinner table, saying that this release would definitely make a lot of money, and the small goal was 8 million US dollars.

The combined cost of Infernal Affairs 2000 and was only million, and that also included the rights to distribute the DVDs and remake the films.

Now the foreign distributors are eager to grab the money. He sincerely feels that all the blockbusters shot by Hollywood before have been exaggerated by such special effects.

30 minutes of space elevator and space station battle, you are already burned to this point, what's next? I dare not think about it.

Before Wang Chengguang could say anything, the foreigner started to curse again, "Damn it, why didn't you remind everyone to wear adult diapers when they came to watch the movie? I'll be right back."

He was almost out of control due to the stimulation, but he was rational and tried to intercept the situation online. He didn't want to hold back this time and get scared and lose control next time, so he had to run away in time.

Teacher Guo also laughed and complained, "Director Wang, you really should have warned us in advance. I'm not sure, but I guess some people will be embarrassed. I should bring a few friends to watch the movie together to see who has the most kidney deficiency."

Wang Chengguang didn't know whether to laugh or cry. What weird things hadn't happened in movie theaters? Especially when the last row was empty...

He sent a message directly to Nancy and Zhou Wenwen, "Okay, you two don't have to wait here and suffer. We don't have to watch from behind."

Nancy and the other girl nodded repeatedly. Even though they had used their inner strength to block their sense of smell a long time ago, they were both masters of martial arts who could easily live for 200 years, and their various other spiritual senses were also terrifying.

It's really a sensation for a movie to be shot like this.

It's not appropriate for you to comment on how successful The Wandering Earth is. On average, if one or two or three people randomly lose control out of a hundred, that's not a small number.

…………

a new day.

Wang Chengguang was still arranging his work schedule in the hotel when he learned that President Han had come with the European and American distributors and the Japanese and Southeast Asian distributors. Buy a movie!

Yesterday, the middle-aged foreigner still offered 8000 million US dollars, and the Southeast Asian distributor from the island country also asked for 3000 million US dollars as Mr. Han expected. If it is sold, it will directly make a profit of 1.1 million US dollars.

I have basically earned back 80% of my investment.

In fact, if the distribution fees of DVDs and videotapes in Europe and the United States are included, the investment will be fully recovered. Wang Chengguang asked Nancy to pour a few cups of good tea, and smiled and rejected it during the relaxed reception, "There is no rush for this matter. After all, it has not been released yet. We are not in a hurry."

The middle-aged ghost man hurriedly took a sip of tea, "Wang, 3 million dollars, we are very sincere. Although we know that this is an epoch-making movie-watching experience, the 3DIMAX over at Massachusetts is not yet fully mature. You can let theaters that don't upgrade, and don't need to wear D glasses, also experience this immersive experience."

"This is unscientific, but South Korea has indeed developed too fast in recent years..."

At this point, he couldn't help but look at Nancy a few times. He felt quite mysterious about the president of South Korea's special effects industry. How could the technology stolen from South Korea be so advanced? It was even beyond Hollywood.

Damn, that's outrageous.

But he has indeed experienced this technology personally, and he watched The Wandering Earth more than once last night.

The first time I watched it I was just focused on the thrilling feeling and felt like a bumpkin. The second time I had the opportunity to discuss the plot in detail and the like. The third time I started to get a little carried away by the tomb-sweeper Easter eggs.

The emergence of a revolutionary blockbuster of this level is no less impactful than the 2D Jurassic Park series on the global film industry, and it will definitely surpass it.

Nanshi Special Effects Industry, the first to take a bite of this big crab, will also become famous and powerful in the global film industry. It should be listed as a national treasure-level company group. There are many films that can rely on this epoch-making industrial technology to make a lot of money.

Wang Chengguang smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

The price doesn't matter, the main thing is to wait and see. After all, only a full release can allow movie fans around the world to experience the underworld universe's view of good and evil.

After checking in with two distributors and watching them leave, President Han said with a smile, "Director Wang, I'm here not only to discuss selling the film, but also to pass on a message for some studios. If the sequel to The Wandering Earth 2 is released, many film studios would like to invest in it."

"For the time being, don't expect to place an order with Nanshi Special Effects Industry to make a movie of the same level. Everyone knows that Director Wang's Chang'e Flies to the Moon and Director Zhou's Rural Teacher have been in production for so long, so they must have renewed their special effects orders."

"But if Wandering 2 needs investment, all the major companies will invest at all costs."

At the beginning, more than 800 million yuan was invested in the filming period in mainland China alone. The cost was so high that the whole Internet was jealous and even South Korea almost wanted to send people to kidnap Nancy. So what?

A complete viewing of The Wandering Earth really shocked the industry.

From now on, there are countless certified big directors, professors from Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Theatre Academy, etc., all of whom are using certified blogs to promote "The Wandering Earth" and call it a great epoch-making movie. They hope that movie fans will try their best to buy movie tickets and go to the theater to watch the movie so that they can experience the greatness of this movie.

The fanfare was so grand and coordinated that the fans, who had already been bombarded by the space elevator easter egg for quite some time, were dizzy. With so many people praising it, everyone felt a little guilty and thought it was a little fake.

Fortunately, there is a free ten-minute version of "Foolish Old Man Moves Mountains". You can watch it on your computer anytime you want. If you feel it is not enough, you can go to the landmark buildings in your city and watch the shocking movie.

With this relatively complete, realistic, and live-action fairy and god special effects short film, movie fans and audiences were able to regain a certain degree of confidence and expectations from the false feeling brought about by the mass publicity that was prosperous without any opposing voices.

Wang Chengguang laughed and said, "Let's talk about it after I finish filming Chang'e flying to the moon."

He arranged them in chronological order. The original Nomadland 2 became the first one. With the many exaggerated and realistic special effects of the first part, when the original first part was put into the rhythm of the sequel, the level of the special effects was actually dragged down.

But this is not a big problem. At most it will be disrupted. The first half is about the Jupiter gravity crisis and Liu Peiqiang's sacrifice, and the second half also films the solar helium flash crisis, which is when the star expands and wants to swallow up the solar system, causing the little broken ball to continue to accelerate its escape.

Speaking of the scene of the sun expanding and swallowing everything, with Wang Chengguang's strength, he could shoot the real scene in the starry sky... and his two Taiyi Golden Immortals were unharmed.

This is not a big deal for ordinary un-ascended Supremes.

If this is what the second part is about? What's the third part about? Don't make a fuss. After more than 2000 years of wandering, any space meteorite attack that can be detected by technology, or a natural space wormhole that takes the earth off course, can all be done.

The universe is so vast, with all kinds of magnificent wonders, and there are too many dangers to photograph.

President Han nodded and sighed again, "Director Wang, as long as Chang'e Flying to the Moon can achieve the special effects level of Yugong Moves the Mountains, and Rural Teacher can reach the level of The Wandering Earth, this will definitely be another blockbuster that will sweep the global film scene in the next one or two years."

"The special effects industry of the South Directorate will definitely be under great pressure, and you must be aware of this."

At this point, President Han coughed twice and explained seriously, "Director Nan, please don't think that I am trying to trick you into moving those things to China. I dare not say this, but I solemnly remind you all to pay attention to safety."

To put it bluntly, films, especially blockbusters, involve consciousness, the right to speak, etc. If the impact is too great, it is normal for them to be banned from release.

President Han felt that The Wandering Earth was not without the risk of being banned. This risk was not small. So many people in North America believed in God, and you wanted to...sweep the graves and reincarnate? The Eastern people's concept of gods and ghosts?
But it's not a big problem. At most, the Easter eggs were cut from the European and American versions, and then the tomb-sweeping event that the whole network knows about is now known. The crew is now selecting lucky people to go to the tomb-sweeping event again and again, and European and American netizens can easily see the complete Easter eggs on the overseas version of Spark Video.

Nan's Special Effects Industry, which is able to steadily produce such major special effects and superb viewing experience step by step, is truly a peach that the garrison can grab directly if they are shameless.

Nancy was happy. "Thank you, Mr. Han, for reminding me. I am definitely prepared for this. To be honest, I only left half of my special effects and hard power in Seoul. I also have my trump cards and team in Hong Kong Island."

President Han was so overjoyed that he couldn't stop laughing.

There are many North Americans in South Korea, but they are not enough to create big things in Hong Kong Island.

Nancy looked at Wang Chengguang, "Boss, should we remind the audience to wear adult diapers when they watch a movie for the first time? To avoid being seen by your friends, lovers or family members making a fool of yourself?"

Wang Chengguang, “…”

President Han stopped laughing and said with shining eyes, "I think this is a great promotional gimmick. After all, everyone doesn't want to see their friends or buddies make a fool of themselves occasionally."

In reality, it is easy to be afraid that your brothers are having a hard time, but also afraid that your brothers are driving a Land Rover.

…………

At around 2003 noon on January 1, 22, in the already very active Internet world, the most active platform in China and even in East Asia was still the Spark platform.

Amidst all kinds of hot topics, Huang Zhenhua suddenly posted a status that immediately went viral on the Internet. The status posted by this old Huang was from @Ling Jing. I heard that you were scared to death when you watched the internal preview of The Wandering Earth because it was too exciting?
Ling Jing replied at the speed of light, "No, I didn't. Don't talk nonsense. I am the strongest sniper of the Hong Kong Flying Tigers. It's impossible to watch a movie with a small hail of bullets. I heard that you couldn't control yourself."

“Don’t throw your own shit around.”

The probability of one or two or two or three people occasionally appearing out of an average of one hundred people is indeed not very scary, and The Wandering Earth is not a horror film. The various special effects are too stimulating to the eyes and ears, and the big scenes that are so bombastic and shocking to the soul are endless one after another.

If you are not careful, you will get hurt.

This is a big gimmick in publicity and promotion. Huang Zhenhua's current popularity is unrivaled in Asia. He suddenly took the lead in this and the whole network was stunned. Not only was it stunned, but it was also full of gossip.

The confused Zhong Fang Keming was so shocked that he said, "@All the Internet, the preview of The Wandering Earth was the most luxurious audio-visual feast. It was a great success, but someone got too excited and lost control. I would like to remind the netizens who bought tickets to wear adult diapers to watch the movie, just in case... it can also avoid embarrassing yourself in front of your friends."

"Although Ling Jing refused to admit it, I have been his rival for several years and I sincerely doubt the truthfulness of his words."

When a few stars interacted, the entire Internet was really torn apart. Is there such a thing? It's just a movie, how can you be scared to death? It's simply unbeatable. There are countless people in the mainland who have already bought pre-sale tickets. Anyway, they all went to the theaters nearby or in their hometowns on a certain day and time, and took out the digital code sent by the text message on their mobile phones to go in and watch the movie.

Harbour City and South Korea quickly became a mess.

All kinds of voices are about to cause a commotion on the Internet!
How scary or exciting is this movie? The momentum of the movie, which was already being promoted by numerous bigwigs or seniors in the industry, has been further enhanced.

Many people who originally planned to watch a movie alone or as a couple are now suddenly joining forces with a group of buddies, friends, classmates, or colleagues to watch the movie together.

Everyone feels that they are fine and can definitely handle it, so they want to see who in their familiar circle can't handle it!
This enthusiasm has also spread to island countries, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and even Europe and the United States. Many Chinese students who are on vacation or have asked for leave, including white tourists, have rushed to China and South Korea, waiting to buy tickets to watch the movie.

This wave of popularity is not big, but it did appear. With the example of the god-level special effects short film "Yugong Moves the Mountains" in the past, movie fans who have been overwhelmed by the special effects of "Yugong Moves the Mountains" really want to have a sneak peek first.

During this period, Wang’s films have gained a certain reputation in the industry and among movie fans. From the first film produced by Wang’s Studio, it cannot be said that all of them have achieved success in both art and box office, but there have been no bad films!

Shooting an experimental short film just to demonstrate the special effects technology is so explosive, so everyone's expectations for blockbuster movies will naturally be raised a lot.

It was in this atmosphere that January 1 finally arrived.

This is not just the traditional Little New Year or Saturday. Whether it is from all over the mainland or the various cinema chains in Hong Kong and Macau, including South Korea, people are queuing up to buy tickets and entering the theaters with tickets received through mobile phone text messages received during online pre-sales.

The first Wandering Earth is here, and East Asia is exploded!

This is the first time for all the audiences, such as Mr. Han of China Film Group, Mr. Guo and others to watch the 3D IMAX version of the immersive movie. What is different from the movie watching on the 22nd by China Film Group is that when the space elevator and the super air battle opened the curtain.

Countless gunfire and explosions, planes, buildings, etc., and huge fires seemed to rush out of the screen and burn the audience. Even though everyone knew it was a movie, the proportion of people who were directly scared to death was close to one in ten...

At the internal preview at China Film, a group of senior colleagues who had watched the IMAX version many times gave advance explanations, which had already prepared later audiences mentally.

But the audience at the midnight show didn’t have that.

They just knew in advance that the movie was exciting, but they never expected it to be so exciting that it would directly sublimate from 2D to 3DIMAX!

If I have to explain it in a serious manner, it's that I was careless and didn't dodge. Wang Chengguang Film Studio does not abide by martial ethics.

Of course, only a minority of people were scared to death, but if it was more than one in ten, the vast majority still managed to hold on. What's even more outrageous is that there were quite a few people who didn't even notice it because the movie was so exciting even though they were scared to death. They only gradually realized it after the plot entered a stable period and the foreshadowing and development period.

As the film continues, the danger of the moon falling gradually unfolds. Many people have no time to think about anything else. That's the moon! The moon that has been with human history is going to end, gone? The excitement continues. At most, some bad friends will occasionally smell the smell around them and ask a few questions.

I'm not a socially dead person. I didn't fight back. I just continued watching the movie!
