The second day of the new year.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, a wave of discussion about Lunar New Year films swept the internet.

This has led more and more netizens to go to the cinema.

They stood at the entrance of the theater, looking at the schedule, caught in a happy dilemma.

Should we watch the sci-fi epic "The Wandering Earth" or the animated masterpiece "Ne Zha"?

For a moment, many viewers hesitated.

Even some friends started complaining.

"Director Song is really annoying. He's releasing two such good movies at the same time, each one is more than two hours long. This means I'll have to stay in the cinema on the second day of the Lunar New Year."

"I don't know what to choose anymore!!"

"Never mind, I'll just pick one at random."

"Whoever the little rooster points to is the one."

"I've decided to watch 'The Wandering Earth' first, and then watch 'Nezha'."

"Hahaha, I'll watch Nezha first. The internet says his image is so ugly-cute, so adorable. There's also a picture of him as an adult later on."

The busiest people are probably the cinema staff.

They kept issuing and voting.

At the same time, they also had to serve snacks such as cola to the audience.

It can be said that the number of visitors during this year's Lunar New Year film season has doubled compared to previous years.

This was something the staff had never expected before.

That's how the day went.

Topics about "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" are still trending on social media.

The special effects teams and companies that previously worked on films like "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" have also garnered significant attention from audiences.

"The special effects you did are absolutely amazing!"

"China needs special effects teams like yours. Keep up the good work!"

"Keep it up, our special effects are no worse than those of foreigners."

"You guys are the best, thank you for your hard work."

Song Hao had been very thoughtful, providing a list of names.

The list includes all the special effects companies and teams involved in the production of "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha".

Not only the team, but even the name of every employee involved in the production and design is on it.

This thoughtful preparation warmed the hearts of the designers who had been working tirelessly.

All the hardships and exhaustion of these past few days have instantly transformed into a sense of happiness.

They also posted a statement on Weibo.

"Thank you, Director Song, for giving us this opportunity."

"To be honest, I have never been involved in the production of such a large-scale special effects film before."

"Just for this reason, we must do a good job with the special effects of 'The Wandering Earth'! We can't let foreigners look down on us."

"They have always said that Hollywood animation or domestic comics are the best, but I want to say that China also has its own animation, and we are no worse than them."

"I became an animation designer because I love animation, and I am very grateful to Director Song for giving me the opportunity to participate in the production of 'Ne Zha'."

"I hope that we will have more excellent animations in the future."

Because everyone really liked these two movies, Song Hao released all the behind-the-scenes footage of their production.

that's it.

Netizens have finally seen what the special effects team did during the post-production of "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha".

What surprised netizens even more was...

Director Song often guided everyone.

"It turns out that Director Song can not only make movies, but also direct special effects design."

"My goodness, it can fly!"

"It's clear that Director Song doesn't actually know these documents, but he was able to express all his thoughts, as if the entire worldview and background of The Wandering Earth were imprinted in Director Song's mind."

"I think so too. It feels like Director Song already has the whole original film in his mind."

“That’s awesome.”

The box office figures for the second day of the Lunar New Year have been released amidst much discussion.

12 pm.

Everyone rushed to check the box office figures on websites like Maoyan.

This time, Maoyan posted the message very promptly.

The Wandering Earth's second-day box office: 4.65 million yuan!
The second day box office for "Ne Zha" reached 4.34 million yuan!
"Love in the South" box office on its opening day: 211 million yuan!
The Deadly Bride's opening day box office: 62!
Among the numerous films released for the Lunar New Year, the first ones that come to mind are "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha".

They all wanted to see how much the two movies actually grossed.

When they saw that "The Wandering Earth" had grossed 4.65 million yuan on its second day, they were very happy, which meant that the film would most likely surpass director Song's previous film, "Operation Red Sea".

Song Hao's highest-grossing film to date is "Operation Red Sea".

Although "The Wandering Earth" has only been released for two days, judging from the current word-of-mouth and box office data, it is almost a certainty that it will surpass "Operation Red Sea".

What surprised the audience the most was...

The box office of "Ne Zha" quickly reached 4.34 million yuan on its second day.

It's worth noting that yesterday, the first day of the Lunar New Year, the box office revenue was 3.45 million yuan.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, both the occupancy rate and the number of screenings were much better than the day before.

Therefore, the box office revenue increased by nearly 100 million yuan compared to yesterday.

The rise of these two films has squeezed the box office figures of other Lunar New Year films.

The most fatal flaw was the film "The Fatal Bride," which the investors originally wanted to imitate the gimmick of Song Hao's disaster film released during the Lunar New Year season last year.

Using horror films during the Lunar New Year season to generate traffic and buzz.

But who would have thought that the entire trending topics would now be about "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha".

Instead, many people discovered it was a horror movie and started leaving comments and insults.

"What do you mean by showing a horror movie during the Chinese New Year? Are you trying to scare us to death?"

"Is something wrong with you during the festive Chinese New Year?"

"The investors are really crazy to schedule a horror movie for release at this time."

"I'm dying of laughter. Today's box office is only 12. It's a complete flop."

This left the investors of "The Fatal Bride" feeling quite helpless.

[Damn it, Song Hao made a disaster movie last year, why didn't you guys criticize it?]

Why should you criticize me just because I made a horror movie?!

Isn't this a double standard?!

This is a heartfelt lament from the investors.

As "The Wandering Earth" is currently still showing in China.

This has also made foreign audiences who like science fiction films very envious.

Ever since they watched "2012" last year, they have been eagerly anticipating Song Hao to make another sci-fi masterpiece.

Some viewers have even compared Song Hao to those famous Hollywood sci-fi directors.

Until six months ago, someone on the internet revealed that Song Hao was preparing a science fiction movie.

This has only fueled the curiosity of foreign audiences.

They are all eagerly awaiting when this movie will be released overseas.

Downey, who had become a complete fan of Song Hao after watching his film "The Bravest".

Downey has now become a major YouTuber with nearly ten million followers.

In his live video broadcast, he expressed his desire to visit China.

I specifically chose to watch Song Hao's new movie during the Spring Festival.

And Downey was a man of action.

After signing the documents, he stepped onto the land of China.

He was quite surprised to see the magnificent buildings.

He even took many photos along the way.

He couldn't help but marvel at the development of China.

Of course, Donnie didn't forget his mission.

With the help of some kind people, he successfully got to the movie theater.

Even though the entire dialogue in "The Wandering Earth" is in Chinese, Downey couldn't understand a word of it.

Fortunately, there are English annotations under the subtitles.

He watched the subtitles and felt the awe-inspiring power of "The Wandering Earth".

When he saw Wu Jing piloting the space station and directly igniting Jupiter.

Tears welled up in her eyes.

Before this, Downey watched science fiction movies.

Most of them were in spaceships, searching for new homes.

Once the Earth is no longer useful, it will be abandoned without hesitation.

Donnie initially couldn't understand why the Chinese wanted to take the Earth on a journey.

He only realized it after he finished reading it.

Because the Earth is their whole family.

Earth is also the big family of all humankind.

Only by loving everyone can you love your own family.

Without Earth, where would our home be?

Downey watched "The Wandering Earth" with utter shock.

When he was about to leave, he unexpectedly learned that Song Hao had also made an animated film.

Taking advantage of the free time, he went to see another movie, "Ne Zha".

Donnie didn't have high hopes to begin with.

After all, he doesn't like watching cartoons.

However, what happened next completely changed his understanding.

He had never seen such a wonderful story.

Although Downey is a foreigner, he does not understand the status of Nezha in the hearts of Chinese people.

But looking at Nezha, he always wanted to gain recognition from others.

It also reminded me of my childhood experiences.

He also suffered from bullying at school and was beaten by thugs in society.

But he did not give up on himself.

That's how we've grown step by step.

Downey became a blogger with millions of followers.

Leaving aside wealth and luxury, he can easily go to any corner of the world he wants.

Watching Song Hao's movie, Downey felt an even stronger urge to get to know him.

Therefore, he came to Guoteng Media.

Under friendly communication.

I finally met Song Hao.

Upon seeing Song Hao, Donnie immediately stepped forward respectfully to shake hands and said, "Hello, my name is Donnie."

Song Hao said with a smile, "Of course I know, Hey, Donnie."

Donnie was very surprised.

It turns out that Song Hao knew about a famous YouTuber who kept promoting his movie when "The Bravest" was released.

From that moment on, he remembered the name Donnie.

Thinking to himself that if Donnie ever came to China, Song Hao would treat him well.

Unexpectedly, they arrived without a word.

Downey exclaimed excitedly, "My first stop in China was the movie theater! I saw your movie, it was so good! When will your 'The Wandering Earth' be released in other countries?"

Song Hao replied, "It will be in about a month. Right now, we are mainly focusing our efforts on the domestic box office."

Downey excitedly asked, "How much is the box office now?"

"It should be 10 billion, right?" Song Hao asked his assistant.

The assistant nodded: "It's already over 10 billion."

Downey's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "This will definitely surpass the box office numbers of 'Operation Red Sea'!!"

"I hope so," Song Hao said cheerfully.

After returning home, Donnie immediately recounted everything he had seen and heard.

As he recounted the story of "The Wandering Earth," viewers watching the live stream became excited.

"When will we have 'The Wandering Earth'?"

"I can't wait."

"My goodness, this sounds even better than '2012'."

"This is definitely a standard Hollywood sci-fi movie."

Not only that, Downey also boasted about another of Song Hao's films: "His animated film, in my opinion, is better than Snow White or The Lion King."

"And he's very handsome. I even think God opened many windows for him."

soon.

With the growing reputation of films like "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha".

The publicity efforts are gradually taking place.

The box office remained strong on the third day.

It broke the 10 billion yuan box office mark during the day.

This has made many Chinese directors quite envious.

Because they spent their entire lives without making many films that grossed over 100 million at the box office.

Not to mention the box office exceeding 10 billion.

If a film's total box office exceeds 10 billion yuan, it can earn the director the title of a well-known director in the entertainment industry.

Now, Song Hao's two films have both surpassed 10 billion yuan in box office revenue on the same day, and it only took three days.

In the eyes of directors in the industry, this person is simply a genius.

Even Tang Guorong, who had always disliked Song Hao, was completely convinced.

Previously, they had worked with the Anti-Fraud Bureau to produce an anti-fraud propaganda video.

Now, Song Hao is relying on his own efforts.

He has achieved success in both animation and science fiction.

It also made him very envious.

"Damn it, how did he even come up with this script? It has such a wonderful story!"

And Maoyan.com.

The website staff are also highly focused, constantly monitoring the box office data from various sources.

At this point, based on the data analysis, the leaders then told their subordinates in the back office: "Raise the estimated box office figures for 'The Wandering Earth' and 'Ne Zha' a little higher."

The employee then asked the general manager, "How many are you transferring this time?"

The general manager pulled out a report and said, "Raise the estimated box office for 'The Wandering Earth' to 40 billion! Raise the estimated box office for 'Ne Zha' to 38 billion."

"Ok."

The employees were deeply moved when they were replacing the data.

Because of overtime work, the staff at Maoyan haven't been able to watch these two movies.

However, looking at the box office data on the website, they did not expect such high results.

It's worth noting that before its release, Maoyan's data analysis only estimated the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" at 28 billion yuan.

Because nobody knows what kind of sci-fi movie Song Hao will actually make.

As for "Ne Zha", the estimated box office is only 24 billion.

But now, on just the first day of its release, it has surprised everyone.

Meanwhile, the box office figures on the Maoyan website are also being continuously revised upwards.

the following few days.

These two films continue to dominate cinemas across China.

The box office of "The Wandering Earth" has been soaring.

"Ne Zha" followed closely behind.

The Spring Festival lasts for seven days.

The Wandering Earth has already grossed 26.7 billion yuan!
"Ne Zha" has reached a box office of 24.1 billion yuan!
Who wouldn't find such data terrifying?
Song Hao raked in 50 billion yuan at the box office during the seven-day Spring Festival holiday.

It has already broken the director's record for the highest box office during the Spring Festival season!

this moment.

Half of the entertainment industry's artists and celebrities are also offering their congratulations.

They had all worked with Song Hao to some extent.

Therefore, I sincerely wish Song Hao all the best.

Chen Daoming also made an unprecedented move by posting on Weibo to celebrate.

It should be noted that Chairman Chen has never cared about these box office figures.

But this time, because of Song Hao, he actually posted two reposts of promotional posters for "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" on Weibo.

It's clear that Chairman Chen also wants everyone to appreciate more domestically produced science fiction and animated films.

He even felt that his decision to make Song Hao the vice president of the China Film Association, despite opposition, was the right one.

Huaxia Film and Television needs a fresh perspective to lead the way.

Otherwise, the veteran directors who were leading the group would have refused to move.

They still followed the old, outdated filming methods.

Then Chinese film and television will never have a chance to succeed.

Even after the Spring Festival, the box office performance of "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha" did not decline.

The discussion about these two films has not stopped.

Box office revenue continues to soar.

They are also trying their best to break box office records in Chinese film history.

On its fifteenth day of release, The Wandering Earth broke the box office record set by Operation Red Sea.

Seventeen days later, "Ne Zha" also surpassed "Operation Red Sea" at the box office.

Some people even felt that "Operation Red Sea" was an old movie.

But netizens discovered upon checking that only a year and a half had passed since the movie was released.

And the status of "Operation Red Sea" is about to change hands.

No one among netizens could predict the final box office results of "The Wandering Earth" and "Ne Zha".

They were all waiting for the final data.

Every day after that, netizens who had seen both movies would check the latest box office data.

Seeing the box office rise little by little, these netizens seemed to feel very gratified, like proud mothers.

Perhaps driven by their own conviction, they wanted to see these two films rise steadily and eventually reach the very top.

"That's amazing! Now, the first thing I do every morning is check the data for those two movies."

"Yes, I didn't expect that Director Song's sci-fi movie, with its adorably ugly Nezha animation, would break the box office record of 'Operation Red Sea'."

"We neither praise nor criticize; every work by Director Song is excellent."

"Director Song has really brought honor to Chinese films this time!"

"I can't wait to see 'The Wandering Earth' released overseas."

"I want to see what the foreign audiences will think then."

"Hahaha, their first reaction will definitely be, 'Is this a Chinese science fiction movie? This is insane!'"

As for China's self-media...

Over the past twenty-odd days, I've been using new words every day to praise these two movies.

But there will always come a day when you run out of words.

So they also reheated the leftovers.

They once again brought out the video of a Hollywood director commenting on Chinese science fiction films.

Stephen, a renowned director, stated in an interview:

"First of all, I think '2012' is a good disaster science fiction movie."

"However, I think this may be the only film in the Chinese market that can reflect the level of science fiction, because we all know that the Chinese market does not value science fiction films at all, and I believe that there will be no such film again for a long time to come."

This interview quote has now been unearthed again.

Netizens felt extremely relieved.

"Who dares to say now that the Chinese market can't produce real science fiction movies?!"

"Stephen, apologize to us!!"

"Apologize! Apologize to all of us in China."

"So you can look down on our Chinese films."

And this saga grew larger and larger, until Stephen, far away in the Atlantic, learned of it.

He immediately posted a video on Twitter in response.

"First of all, I apologize for saying some unfriendly things about Chinese science fiction films before. At the time, I thought that the Chinese market would not produce science fiction films like '2012' again. But when I saw Song's 'The Wandering Earth,' his trailer and behind-the-scenes footage really impressed me."

"I haven't seen the movie yet, but I'm already looking forward to it."

"If there is an overseas version of 'The Wandering Earth' here soon, I will definitely go see it in person. If it is very well made, I will post a video to share my thoughts and apologize to the Chinese director and netizens at that time."

After this video was released.

Chinese netizens are urging Song Hao to expedite the release of the overseas version of "The Wandering Earth".

Song Hao also contacted the company he had previously worked with.

The Wandering Earth sparked a science fiction craze in China.

Therefore, foreign companies have also joined the cooperation.

They are responsible for promoting and publicizing the message in their respective countries.

[A sci-fi blockbuster on par with Hollywood!]

This is their current propaganda theme.

Its main selling point is to look at Hollywood on par with it, and even surpass it!
More and more foreign viewers have become aware of this film.

They also became curious about the premise of "The Wandering Earth".

What would it be like to travel the world with the Earth?
Meanwhile, "Ne Zha" has also begun production of an overseas version.

The first country chosen for overseas release was Japan.

The people of Japan have always believed that their country's anime and animation are the best in the world.

Even American productions like Snow White are no match for their country's productions.

So when "Ne Zha" was being promoted in Japan, many netizens said they wouldn't watch Chinese animation.

After all, in their eyes, Chinese animation is utterly inferior.

at the same time.

The previously scheduled drama "Lotus Lantern" will soon be broadcast on five major television stations.

Hunan TV, which had been waiting for this opportunity, has finally secured the broadcasting rights for "Lotus Lantern".

Director Ye was very happy, even though the price was still six million per episode this time.

However, he believes that with Song Hao's current strength, even if he doesn't direct this TV series, as long as he is the screenwriter and producer, then this "Lotus Lantern" will not have any quality problems!

For a time, works by Song Hao also appeared on the market.

The Wandering Earth will be released in overseas versions in more than ten countries!
"Ne Zha" will be released in Japan soon!
"The Lotus Lantern" was broadcast on five major television stations and two online video platforms!
Three days later, another wave of discussion is about to begin!!
