Chapter 444: Hollywood Screenwriters Could Never Dream Up This Idea!

The Wandering Earth 2 was released simultaneously in many countries worldwide.

You can naturally see it here in Chicago.

The foreign theater chains have actually gotten a few sweet deals.

So there's plenty of promotion and screening slots.

Of course.

The release times are definitely different.

For example, the domestic premiere was held at 8 p. m.

While here in Chicago, it was at 3 p. m. the next day.

After last night's premiere ended.

Lin Mo called Liu Qin, and she said, "The Wandering Earth 2 is blowing up!!!"

Here it is.

This afternoon, Lin Mo specially gave the crew a day off.

He early on had Xiao Rou book two theaters and invited the entire crew to watch The Wandering Earth 2.

These foreign actors and staff, upon hearing they could have a half‑day off, were all overjoyed.

"Mo‑zi, The Wandering Earth 2 seems to be a huge hit; the online discussions back home are really lively!"

On the way to the cinema, Brother Cheng Long said to Lin Mo.

Although Brother Cheng Long himself doesn't really follow Entertainment Circle matters.

But his assistant reports to him every day.

He can choose not to pay attention, but staying informed is necessary.

Otherwise, you'd fall behind.

So they know The Wandering Earth 2's domestic release is exceptionally popular.

Hearing that, Lin Mo smiled; before he could speak, Re Ba couldn't hold back: "Uncle Long, it's really, really hot—first on both Douyin and Weibo's hot searches!"

"And apparently, users are frantically snatching tickets on all the major domestic ticket‑booking apps!" Re Ba added.

Produced by Morning Light, it must be a masterpiece.

This statement has always carried a lot of weight.

Previously, only Lin Mo's films caused such ticket‑snatching.

Bell and Jason may not understand Chinese, but they know some people are talking about The Wandering Earth 2, the film they're about to watch.

Gal Gadot said, "I've seen the first Wandering Earth before; it's fantastic, a sci‑fi style completely different from Hollywood's."

Re Ba laughed, put an arm around Gal's shoulder, and teased, "Gal, taking the Earth on a wander—Hollywood screenwriters probably can't think of that in a lifetime~"

"Exactly, that's right!" Gal nodded, smiling.

After all, only Huaguo people have that mindset.

At first, when Gal learned that The Wandering Earth's premise is that after a disaster humanity drifts the Earth through space to find a new home, she was stunned!

Oh my, it was her first time hearing such an idea; it was utterly crazy!

Here it is.

Bell, Jason, and Heath Ledger were also discussing heatedly.

"Lin, I heard you wrote this film; your imagination is amazing—taking the Earth on a wander, I've never heard of that before!" Jason said excitedly, looking at Lin Mo.

"Yeah, I even searched online for the first one; it was great, felt like a blockbuster, so I'm really looking forward to the second!" Heath Ledger added.

Bell asked worriedly, "I haven't had time to watch the first part; it won't affect watching the second, will it?"

Lin Mo smiled and waved his hand: "It doesn't matter; even though it's The Wandering Earth 2, it's actually a prequel to the first."

After hearing that, everyone nodded in sudden realization, "So that's how it is."

Beside them were Chen Xing and Yan Xu.

The two were trailing behind the crowd.

Last night.

The two were in the company group chat, seeing everyone's conversation.

They learned the film's domestic hype had exploded.

Wang Cheng was even more arrogant, flaunting without limit.

It really makes one both envious and jealous.

MD, let him get it.

This guy also has lucky dog‑type luck.

The Boss gave him such an important project.

However, the envy is only temporary.

Especially Chen Xing, who has been with Morning Light for several years, knows that maybe next time the Boss will let him handle a major investment project.

Just like Lao Chen and Lao Luo.

Aren't they shooting Fast and Passion 2 in Saudi Arabia?

As for Yan Xu, he doesn't think that much; after all, he just joined Morning Light.

Although he and Director Lin are senior brothers from the same school, company matters go as they will; whatever his senior brother asks him to shoot, he shoots.

Soon.

He arrived at a cinema not far from the crew.

Although The Wandering Earth 2's promotion was spot‑on.

But…

The fame is just so-so.

The first film didn't earn much overseas either.

And now, on just the first day of premiere, the overseas buzz isn't high.

After all, they don't know any of the actors in it.

The crew members all went into the theater one by one.

One theater definitely isn't enough, so we have to book two.

Re Ba also excitedly snapped several photos with her phone.

Foreign theaters are no different from domestic ones.

Before the movie starts, we're just sitting there watching ads.

Lin Mo, Cheng Long, and Jason are chatting.

Re Ba, meanwhile, is chatting with Gal Gadot.

Gal Gadot saw Re Ba messing around with Weibo, got interested, and said, "Re Ba, what do you think about me signing up for Weibo?"

Just about to post on Weibo, she looked up at Gal Gadot and nodded: "Sure, Gal! You have no idea how popular your character in Fast and Furious is in Huaguo~"

Yes.

Gal Gadot's Giselle is still pretty popular.

Gal Gadot laughed and said, "After the movie, teach me—I don't know how to do it~"

Sure, I'll help you get verified, then tag you—you'll see your fans shooting up!

About ten minutes or so.

The movie has started!

The theater quickly fell silent.

It's a 3D screening of The Wandering Earth 2.

Wearing 3D glasses, we have to let them feel what a Huaguo sci-fi blockbuster is!
