Chapter 497

And the directors and producers of *The Captain* and *My People, My Country* were dumbfounded.

What the hell?

Has it already broken 2 billion box office?

Who can explain why our domestic audience suddenly likes to watch cartoons?

I don't understand! I’ve been hunting for decades, why did the little fox steal the house!

Less than two weeks.

"The box office has broken 3 billion."

Chinese film director group.

Lu Chuan, who has been lurking for many years, threw out a sentence silently.

Although there is no reply.

But almost all the directors in the group learned the news that *Ne Zha* box office exceeded 3 billion for the first time. It’s just that everyone is a little hard to accept.

I thought the final box office of this cartoon would be fixed at around 2.5 billion.

According to the forecast data given by the theater chain, it will be realized in about a month.

But I didn't expect that Lin Yu’s film had exceeded the target in less than half a month.

This made a group of first-line directors a little confused.

Before, everyone was holding a melon-eating attitude.

The film broke 500 million, 1.5 billion, 2 billion.

Individual directors just had some envy and jealousy in their hearts.

But now, whether it is Zhang Zhang Yimou, Chen Chen Kaige or Feng Feng Xiaogang, they all have a different emotion in their hearts.

Threat!

That’s right, although everyone doesn't want to admit it, they have to admit it.

These middle-aged directors were actually threatened in their professional field by a newcomer variety show star and cross-border director.

"So what about Lin Yu joining the group?"

After Wu Jing finished the action scene.

Seeing the news sent by Lu Chuan, he @ everyone for the first time.

"Follow the rules."

Zhang Zhang Yimou is relatively low-key.

But what surprised everyone was that as the premier director of China, he actually spoke for Lin Yu.

Immediately after, Song Jiang Wen, Chen Chen Kaige, Feng Feng Xiaogang and others expressed their approval and recognition.

Can’t stop it!

Lin Yu’s talent cannot be sealed by this era.

In this circle, directors who have entered the first line have actually gained both fame and fortune.

Although everyone is a little envious and jealous of the box office of Lin Yu’s debut.

But they all hope that Chinese films can have a better future.

Looking at the whole country.

Lin Yu’s age is the one with the greatest potential, none of them.

"I agree."

"Good."

Among the members of this director group of more than 30 people, the last two to type the news were Xu Zheng and Chen Chen Sicheng.

Especially Xu Zheng, sitting in the villa, visibly embarrassed.

Originally wanted to help his good brother Chen Chen Sicheng build prestige, but didn't expect Lin Yu to cross this box office threshold in half a month.

And Chen Chen Sicheng was even more angry with a stuffy chest.

After spending a lot of effort, he helped Lin Yu successfully get on top and enter the elite director circle.

The most disgusting thing is that for this reason, Xu Zheng was allowed to prostitute for several days in the clubhouse.

I haven't even touched those new actresses, and they were taken by this bald man. Thinking about it, it’s really a loss.

Yanjing, Wangjing Mansion.

"Xiao Yuzi, what are we eating for late-night snacks?"

Yang Mi, who had just returned from the film set, took off her high heels and called out softly to Lin Yu, who was curled up on the sofa in the living room.

"Tsk tsk tsk."

"How do you talk to a 4 billion box office director!"

"Be respectful to me."

Lin Yu got up and sat down, putting on a serious pose.

"You don't want to live, do you?"

"What are you pretending to be with me?"

Yang Mi naturally didn't get used to it, stepped forward and grabbed Lin Yu’s ear, causing Lin Yu to scream.

But soon,

The person screaming changed to Da Da Mi Mi.

The sound of the sound echoed throughout the detached five.

Major cinemas across the country were also shocked by the heatwave generated by *Ne Zha*.

At first, everyone thought it was just a low-age animation for children, but no one expected it to cause such a massive reaction.

Starting from an initial 15% screen share, it began to gradually increase.

Some cinema chains have even increased the screen share to 60%.

"Holy crap, this is too awesome! The box office has already surpassed Brother Teng’s *Pegasus*."

"Damn! It actually surpassed Director Zhang Zhang Yimou’s *Full River Red*. I heard that when Old Mouzi was planning that film, the budget alone was over 300 million. By comparison, *Ne Zha* has made an absolute killing!"

"Hahahaha! It finally surpassed *Detective Chinatown*. Director Chen must be crying himself to sleep by now!"

"Director Chen Chen Sicheng, accept your loss. Hurry up and apprentice under me, Lin Yu, and I might still save a spot for you as my senior disciple."

"Hahaha, that’s too savage! Who would have thought that Lin Yu, an outsider, would actually take down these professionals."

"Right now, the only thing that can go toe-to-toe with *The Avengers* is *Ne Zha*. It’s a pity for *The Captain* and *My People, My Country*; they just can't compete at all. This summer season is truly a battle of the gods; the competition is just too bloody."

As for the major directors in the industry, they went from initial surprise to shock.

Now, watching these box office figures still soaring, they have become somewhat numb.

Everyone has studied film their entire lives.

They truly never imagined there was such a massive animation market in the country.

Even the Beijing Film Academy added a national animation major overnight, incorporating *Ne Zha* into their textbooks as a classic case study for deep learning and research.

In an old residence.

"Mom, just let me apply for the animation major!"

"I really love it."

A teenager, looking about sixteen or seventeen, held his manuscript, feeling nervous.

If it were before, as a mother, she would have definitely refused decisively.

Even knowing her child had a natural talent for drawing, she would never have allowed the child to enter such a hopeless industry.

But the film *Ne Zha* has given many parents a new definition of the future market for national animation.

"Fine, I agree."

"But you must promise me you won't give up halfway."

"If you're going to study it, you must persist."

Upon hearing her words, the teenager excitedly tossed his manuscript papers into the air.

It is foreseeable that,

after the summer season, applications for animation majors will surely see a small surge.

"What?"

"What is this?"
