Wolf Warrior production team group chat.
«【Picture】. JPG, I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me... » Zhang Yixing.
«I just saw the opening day box office of 7.97 billion, and my wife and I were completely dumbfounded! » Wu Jing.
«I feel truly honored to be able to work with Director Lin once! » Yu Qian.
«Me too! » Wu Gang.
«@Wu Jing, you won't be able to sleep tonight, right? » Ding Haifeng.
«...... »
In the group chat, everyone was chatting enthusiastically.
In minutes, the group chat had over 99 unread messages.
Meanwhile, here.
Chen Yao.
She definitely didn't sleep.
Although, staying up late isn't good for girls.
She also rarely stays up late...
But...
At the moment the box office for Wolf Warrior came out.
She was completely dumbfounded.
Her first movie in life...
She hadn't even come to her senses when her close friend Zhao Lin gave her a video call.
After the call connected, Zhao Lin's extremely excited appearance soon appeared on the screen.
«Yao Yao, have you seen Wolf Warrior's opening day box office? 7.97 billion RMB, oh my god... »
«Yao Yao, have you checked our class group? Everyone's talking about you! »
«They're simply bursting with envy for you! »
Indeed.
Chen Yao, this is the legendary instant peak upon debut.
The starting point is too high!
Although her acting in Wolf Warrior wasn't stunning, but...
After all, she is the female lead.
Naturally she is widely noticed, and moreover she is the first-generation Mo Girl.
Just think about it and you'll know how broad her future prospects are.
Tonight, whether others can sleep or not, she doesn't know.
Anyway...
She definitely can't sleep.
Wolf Warrior's opening day box office is 7.97 billion!
In moments it topped the net's hot searches.
The netizens were hotly discussing it!
Moreover, it's not just the mainland that's constantly watching Wolf Warrior's box office.
Xiang Jiang, Wanwan's side is also paying attention.
These past two years, they've been stunned by domestic blockbusters like Let the Bullets Fly and I Am Not a Medicine God, repeatedly refreshing their box office expectations, and they regret, regretting how they fell out with Lin Mo back then!
Just think back: Let the Bullets Fly was nominated for so many awards at the Hong Kong Film Awards, yet in the end they only got a costume design award— isn't that a blatant slap in the face!
Now that Wolf Warrior's box office has come out, they probably regret it till their intestines turn green.
Besides, hearing that Cheng Long has a good relationship with Lin Mo, the awards organizers were anxious, they called Cheng Long overnight, hoping to repair their relationship with Lin Mo through him.
What they said on the phone was sincere, and they even said that for the next Hong Kong Film Awards, Best Director, Best Actor, etc., would be reserved for Lin Mo's films.
The next day, Saturday.
These media official accounts began to hype Wolf Warrior wildly.
The major theater chains were no different, they kept adding showings for Wolf Warrior, but even so they couldn't stop the audience's enthusiasm— every show was sold out.
In just three days.
Wolf Warrior's national box office broke through 2 billion!
Even, online.
Netizens even shouted the slogan, 'National Day holiday, watch Wolf Warrior!'
It must be said.
This Wolf Warrior film truly has all the advantages of timing, location, and harmony!
Lin Mo's box office pulling power + National Day holiday + People's Net likes and shares + patriotic sentiment melody...
These layers of buff stack together!
Absolutely!!!
«Holy cow, 2 billion box office in just three days??? »
«Ah? »
«Could it be... that a billion-dollar box office film is really going to appear? »
«It's very possible— Wolf Warrior is hot in Xiang Jiang, Wanwan, and Ao Island, and reportedly Southeast Asian countries have started contacting Morning Light Media... »
«Awesome, awesome! »
Hiss... If Wolf Warrior were released worldwide, the box office would surely go through the roof!
You're overthinking; maybe it only does well in Asia. In Europe, they probably wouldn't like this—after all, how could they not have seen enough of this Hollywood-style individual heroism film?
Online, netizens were discussing it heatedly.
And let's not even talk about it.
These past few days, as Wolf Warrior exploded in popularity,
Bangzi Country, Dao Guo, Thailand, Singapore...
Their theater operators there also learned of this.
They also watched the finished Wolf Warrior, feeling that introducing it would surely be a hit!
Liu Qin was chatting with them.
These troublesome matters naturally fell to Liu Qin to handle.
After all.
She's a professional, after all.
From the founding of Morning Light Media to now, Lin Mo is quite satisfied with Liu Qin; one could say she's a natural-born workhorse.
Well, this...
Lin Mo prepared to give her one percent of the shares.
As the saying goes, if you want a horse to run, you must feed it well.
If Liu Qin knew the boss was preparing to give her shares...
Even if it's just one percent.
She would be so excited she'd jump up.
But never underestimate this one percent share.
You know, Morning Light Media puts out several hit dramas a year, plus Lin Mo's films.
Annual revenues are in the tens of billions, even hundreds of billions!
This one percent...
At this rate, she'd become a multi-millionaire in no time.
Liu Sheng.
He toils as a grunt in a second-tier city, working for capital.
Earlier, when the Wolf Warrior trailer came out, he wanted to go see it.
Thinking about National Day, with so many people traveling and having fun, movie tickets shouldn't be hard to snag.
Coincidentally.
There are plenty of people who think the same way.
Let alone presale tickets being gone—the film has been out for three days, and he still hasn't managed to get a ticket.
The annoying part is.
His close buddy, a total jerk.
Every day he sends him messages, all kinds of mockery.
"Yo, Xiao Liu, still haven't snagged a ticket today?"
"Want me, big bro, to give you a spoiler of this film?"
"I'm telling you, Wolf Warrior's special effects are off the charts—better than Hollywood's..."
If it were you, could you put up with it?
Anyway.
Every time that jerk sends him a message, he replies with just one word: "Get lost!"
But today.
He finally managed to snag a movie ticket.
He hit the space bar in excitement and jumped up.
"Damn it, finally got it!"
Do you know how he's spent these past few days?
Damn it.
The first thing he did was send a screenshot to his jerk buddy.
"Holy shit, you jerk actually got a movie ticket! /amazed/amazed/!"
No wonder he'd be so amazed.
Wolf Warrior movie tickets are now extremely hard to come by; online scalpers have driven them up to a thousand each, yet still crowds of fans are scrambling to buy them.
So you can imagine just how popular Wolf Warrior is.
His showing is at 8:30 p. m.
He had dinner.
He hurriedly took a taxi over.
All the way until checking in and entering the theater, during the ad time Liu Sheng looked around—crowds of people everywhere, seats all filled.
Liu Sheng has no other hobbies; he usually likes watching movies and hasn't been absent from the cinema.
He's never seen such a scene before.
Wolf Warrior is really damn hot!
The film runs two hours.
He walked out of the cinema, and on his way home his mood was still wildly excited.
Wu Jing's Leng Feng was fucking handsome.
And also...
Director Lin is badass!
Wolf Warrior has been released for a week.
The national box office cumulative total reached 44.78 billion!
It was only a week in release.
It directly broke the box‑office record previously set by I Am Not a Medicine God!
Terrifying indeed!
And Lin Mo's Weibo followers also surpassed the 50 million mark!
Two minutes ago, Lin Mo's official Weibo posted a new update: "I announce, Huaguo cinema is about to enter the blockbuster era!"
Soon.
Below this Weibo, the comment section exploded!
"Wow, Lin Mo, big boss, let me get a close‑up tiger touch!"
"Lin Mo: Huaguo cinema is about to enter the blockbuster era!"
"Awesome, awesome!"
"Hearing this from Director Lin, it doesn't feel exaggerated at all!"
"The blockbuster era is coming!!!"
"Awesome!!!"
