Chapter 222

"I feel extremely proud to be able to watch a Hollywood-level high-tech movie like The Wandering Earth. From the moment it appeared in front of us, it was destined to become a rising star in the history of Xia Country."

Then, Li Xin gave a comprehensive evaluation of the plot and storyline of the film from aspects such as the filming language, character portrayal, narrative structure, and special tools.

As a famous film critic, her Weibo itself has a high level of attention.

What's more, there are already many people waiting for her to comment under her Weibo.

As soon as this article was published, the number of clicks reached one million.

The comments and reposts from netizens caused an uproar on the entire internet.

"This netizen's comments are always sharp. I think this movie is worth watching!"

"I should have watched this Hollywood movie earlier."

"This movie doesn't have any plot, so you can watch it with peace of mind!"

"Well said! You said everything I wanted to say!"

……

This Weibo post went viral instantly.

Several people who were particularly fond of "The Wandering Earth" watched it and all gave it a thumbs up.

Overnight, Li Xin's number of Weibo followers skyrocketed to 100,000!

She got out of bed excitedly.

At this moment, several people suddenly appeared from below.

"Obviously, this netizen also wanted to make money."

"Do you want to sell it for a good price?"

"I just don't understand. What's so great about a domestic science fiction movie?"

"It's true that Xiaguo doesn't have a single good science fiction movie!"

A large number of black fans emerged, saying that Li Xin took bribes from Zhang Qingxian.

This is an insult to one's profession.

Li Xin was furious!
When it comes to eloquence, she has never been defeated by anyone!

Then he started typing frantically.

In just over an hour, she fought back against more than a dozen haters by herself!

However, there are still a large number of haters and trolls pouring in.

Most people are stubborn and single-minded.

After talking with him, Li Xin felt that there was something wrong with his way of thinking.

After closing Weibo, she continued to look at the computer.

That piece of paper clearly recorded everything she had watched at that time.

As a professional film critic, she persisted.

Even during the filming of "Earthfall", she would curse in her mind and record everything.

Comparing the two pieces of paper, the difference is obvious!
Half an hour later.

A new comment has appeared!

"Which is better, The Wandering Earth or Earthfall?"

This piece of news immediately attracted the attention of the crowd.

Moreover, it is the same time and the same theme.

The difference is that the former is a local newcomer Zhang Qingxian, while the latter is a Hollywood production.

Both films have their fans.

This quarrel lasted for more than half a month!

Many people are wondering which one to watch this time?

Li Xin answered this question in this report!
“The subtleties are evident!”

"The setting was already in the script of The Wandering Earth. There was no hint of Earthfall, and it was talked about for several years, which made everyone dumbfounded!"

“Although both are set in the apocalypse, in The Wandering Earth, people are struggling to survive. In Earthfall, people are still living a normal life and are not affected in any way.”

Li Xin described the differences between the two films in detail, while also trying not to reveal any information as much as possible.

This time, she didn't use those obscure terms.

This is a sentence that everyone understands!

This way, everyone will understand.

Because this Weibo post was much more widely circulated than Li Xin's previous one, it was quickly liked by netizens.

“The host is so real!”

"This game, Earthfall, seems to have hit all my nerves!"

"I think the staff of The Wandering Earth did a great job. Every little detail was well done. I am a fan!"

"Luckily there is a comparison. I want to go and have a look."

As soon as this photo came out, the internet went viral!

Many viewers who had seen these two films in the cinema before expressed their support for Li Xin.

Of course, there are also some professional black fans who make up stories on forums and lead readers in the right direction.

This makes the post even more popular.

This piece of news became the hottest topic that day!
“Thank you, I got on the last bus, it was great!”

"It's like a magical movie! It's so beautiful!"

"Don't be led astray by the haters. This domestic blockbuster must be promoted!"

“I want to watch it a second time!”

……

In the evening, after Li Xin finished washing up, he turned on the phone.

There are tens of millions of comments under his post.

The number of followers soared, exceeding three million in just one day.

When she saw the numbers backstage, she was completely stunned!

This was the happiest time in her life.

Not only did he fight against those black fans, but he also increased his own fame!
That night, Li Xin was so happy that she could hardly sleep.

So she sat up from the bed and looked at her Weibo.

And at midnight, the total box office of the two films on the first day of release was officially announced.

Li Xin was extremely anxious.

Because she admires Zhang Qingxian, she pays special attention to the show "The Wandering Earth".

Deep down in his heart, he was looking forward to the success of this film.

It would be great if we could surpass Hollywood at the box office!
Over time.

Amid everyone's eager anticipation, the first day's box office results were officially announced.

……

On the other side, Zhang Qingxian’s recording studio.

Everyone was looking forward to it.

Everyone held their breath and stared intently.

"The Wandering Earth" grossed 160 million yuan on its first day of release! "

"Earthfall": 1 million nationwide, 1 million overseas! "

When everyone saw it, they were overjoyed.

This is the box office of a science fiction movie.

It is absolutely top-notch.

They achieved a huge victory!

But when he looked at the Hollywood box office, he remembered their bet.

The joy on his face just now disappeared instantly.

Just look at the first day's box office.

Hollywood movies have already defeated "The Wandering Earth".

The box office gap between the two is as much as 240 million.

"Anthony is obviously mocking us by doing this. This is too much!"

Qin Yi held the phone, looking very disappointed.

Zhang Qingxian casually clicked on Anthony's Weibo, which read:

He actually sent out the box office data of both films.

There is also a sentence written on it.

"The first day's film results have been announced. Who was the one who said he wanted to make a bet with me?"

Zhang Qingxian's hand holding the phone suddenly tightened.

He opened Weibo and glanced at the comments below.

The comments section was filled with applause, calling it a Hollywood blockbuster.

They made no secret of their ridicule of Zhang Qingxian and his film. "What a joke! It's not even half of what Director An did. Is this the way for Xiaguo's science fiction films to rise?"

"I'm afraid Zhang Qingxian would have already escaped without a trace by now!"

"Knowing that it can only be shown in China, they still took such a gamble. They are really asking for trouble!"

"How can Xiaguo's science fiction rival Hollywood's? Isn't this insane?"

"..."

There are also a few rational netizens who expressed doubts.

"Our bet is for the final result of the movie. Now there is only one day left. What can this mean?"

"Yes, it's still unknown who will win!"

As soon as this Weibo post was released, it was immediately flooded with comments.

"Hehehe... Zhang Qingxian's diehard followers are indeed extremely stupid."

"The first day box office gap is so huge, what chance do they have of winning?"

"It's all Zhang Qingxian's fault for not knowing his place, otherwise how could he be criticized by so many people?"

"If Zhang Qingxian can really beat me, I will go there and eat shit right now."

"How about I wash my hair upside down?"

……

The number of people joining this gamble is also increasing.

Zhang Qingxian's supporters would not make a vow casually.

For nothing else.

However, they admire Zhang Qingxian very much.

But he also knew that this was built on a domestic basis.

Zhang Qingxian's film is naturally at a disadvantage.

No chance of winning.

He could only introduce "The Wandering Earth" to his relatives and friends as much as possible to bring some extra income to Zhang Qingxian.

They dare not swear.

the other side.

Seems to have a better impression of Hollywood.

Everyone felt a little uncomfortable.

They spent several months on this film.

But they didn't show it.

A group of people continued to read the comments on the Internet.

His eyes fell on Zhang Qingxian from time to time.

Zhang Luyan looked at Zhang Qingxian several times.

Finally, Zhang Qingxian couldn't stand it anymore.

"what?"

"I'm just worried that you might not be able to get over it."

Zhang Luyan rolled her eyes at him.

When these words were spoken, everyone agreed with them.

"Director Zhang, our chances this time are really slim, but fortunately, we have surpassed all the domestic science fiction films this time."

"Well, in fact, our current performance is very good if we don't compare it with Hollywood."

"Although we failed in the end, China's science fiction films are now on the right track."

"Don't be sad, at worst we can get a better one!"

Li Xun, Zhong Shuyuan, Qin Yi and others tried desperately to appease Zhang Qingxian.

Zhang Qingxian looked confused. Totally confused.

"Why am I sad?"

How could he be sad?
Zhang Qingxian felt no wavering.

He had long anticipated that there would be a huge gap in the box office between the two films.

One is the difference in box office between the two films.

"The Wandering Earth" is already at a disadvantage without an overseas market.

Second, the overall ecosystem of domestic science fiction films is not good.

The science fiction movies in the past were all terrible and disappointing.

Internationally, Hollywood science fiction films have attracted a large number of science fiction fans.

No matter whether it is a good movie or a bad movie, they will chase it without hesitation.

Zhang Qingxian realized these two points from the very beginning.

He definitely won’t win at the first day box office.

"You know, this movie wasn't released today, and we didn't do it for today's results."

"The first week's box office data and screening schedule are available."

"Key?" Shi Feng was slightly stunned.

When Zhang Luyan heard this, a strange light flashed in her eyes.

"On the first day, 160 million can unlock the key!"

"A good film must always be tested by practice."

Zhang Qingxian laughed and spoke.

The release date of "The Wandering Earth" has been postponed for another month.

He has been waiting for this month.

As word of mouth spreads, people will discover its benefits sooner or later.

Who will win is yet to be determined!
At around eight o'clock, most people got up to work.

He opened Weibo, and the first thing he saw was the box office data of the two films.

Some people predicted the box office performance of the next two films based on this number.

In short.

Zhang Qingxian will definitely lose.

If the difference is tens of millions, there is still room for recovery.

But the difference between one day is several hundred million!
Those who had previously expressed their approval of Zhang Qingxian now looked dejected.

Many people posted a message on Zhang Qingxian's Weibo to express their condolences.

Early in the morning, Zhang Luyan's phone call woke Zhang Qingxian up from his sleep.

"You didn't sleep all night last night, why don't you take a rest?"

"Don't sleep. So many people are cheering for you. You have to say something."

"Go tell me on Weibo first, otherwise Anthony will think you're scared!"

Zhang Luyan gave a warning.

Zhang Qingxian nodded blankly.

After hanging up the phone, it took him several minutes to come back to his senses.

Zhang Qingxian remembered what Zhang Luyan had said before and opened his Weibo.

As expected, the comments and messages below are full of heartwarming things.

He posted a Weibo.

"Thank you for your attention. The show has only been on air for one day and the final result has not yet been determined, so we can look forward to it."

Clicked the Send button.

A strong feeling of fatigue surged into his heart, and Zhang Qingxian lay on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

However, when he sent out this Weibo post, he did not notice this.

Anthony got the news first.

"Zhang Qingxian, you are so brave!"

"On the first day of release, they were beaten like this. Isn't that too shameless?"

"There are so many people in Xia Country supporting him? Are they crazy?"

Before Anthony had a chance to show off his first day of filming, the two of them had already started their filming.

However, the appearance of Zhang Qingxian immediately made everyone quiet down.

How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
Anthony was furious and posted a Weibo post with more than a thousand words.

As for the matter on Weibo, he did not hand it over to his agent.

This time, he has to do it himself.

The text above is very rude and even contains some insulting words.

It's not just Zhang Qingxian who made a bet with him.

He even scolded several well-known directors of the Xia country.
