Chapter 790: I Fight the World with One Nation

Wang Shisong: Let's do it!

…….

Nowadays, the popularity of "The Wandering Earth" is ridiculously high; all the other films in the Shuji Dang combined are not as hot as Luo Mo's new film.

The passion of the people for domestic science fiction seems to have been ignited all at once!

Oh, what a familiar scene.

It is just like when Luo Mo's "Monkey King: Hero is Back" was released, domestic animation films began to rise strongly, and the industry began to develop in a spurt!

How could President Wang, who loves to gush in the well, miss such a spurt-like opportunity?

The large-scale promotion for "Shanghai Fortress" must be put on the agenda right now!

"What? You say I am at odds with Luo Mo, but am I not still riding his coattails?"

"What a joke! I want to ride them, I want to disgust him, and then make a lot of money!"

Damn it, I failed to block you before, now I will ride your coattails to death!

Rounding it up—Not Losing!

Nowadays, it can be seen from some of the topics discussed across the entire internet that the domestic science fiction market seems to be really getting better.

Everyone says "The Wandering Earth" is a milestone work in the field of domestic science fiction, and everyone says Luo Mo kicked open the door to domestic science fiction.

At the same time, a new term has also become popular—Chinese-style Science Fiction!

Good heavens, it is just like when he founded a school in the music scene and introduced Chinese Style.

President Wang recalled carefully that when Luo Mo introduced Chinese Style, he was also fighting with Pineapple in the music market.

Once "East Wind Breaks" came out, Pineapple went directly from "there seems to be a turning point" to "pull the plug, there's no saving it."

Tsk, a bit familiar.

However, this time it is different!

Because we have an advantage.

Our advantage is—we are losers!

Hey, don't think I'm messing around.

Failure is the mother of success; losers can learn lessons from failure, and one will not fall in the same place twice.

Others might not be able to grasp the opportunity of the great boom in domestic science fiction, but we at Pineapple certainly can! And we can grasp it firmly, we can grasp it tight!

Pineapple's promotion team soon received instructions from the boss.

At the same time, a group of company executives also chose to support this decision.

We will not promote "Shanghai Fortress" using the conventional mode of promoting a Romance film.

Originally, it was just for the sake of innovation that we put on a layer of science fiction skin; who would have thought that we would accidentally get Luo Mo's "strong support"!

This guy helped us heat up the science fiction field in advance!

Very good, we will leave the theme of 【A Song-Worthy and Tear-Jerking Romance】 as a Surprise for the audience.

We will also promote "Shanghai Fortress" using the mode of promoting a science fiction blockbuster.

And we must edit the most explosive, money-burning scenes with special effects into the trailer.

They have thought this through carefully.

After all, when promoting a science fiction film, it is essential to have big scenes with special effects.

But in this film, there are not many such parts.

For "The Wandering Earth", they put a little bit of special effects into the trailer.

But for them, this little bit of duration is almost everything.

All of this made everyone at Pineapple happy these past few days.

If this job is done well, the company will come back to life!

We don't ask to be as explosive as "The Wandering Earth"; after all, one must have the right mindset and not set blind goals.

For our internal box office expectations, let's just set it at 1.5 to 2 billion.

You have to know, "The Wandering Earth" had a production cost of 700 million alone, plus other miscellaneous costs, as well as promotion expenses, etc., 800 million is the minimum.

This means that it only breaks even after the box office exceeds 2 billion, and then, the portion of the box office that exceeds that is divided according to a ratio, which is the profit.

We are different; our costs are low.

The main cost is the Actor's salary.

Originally, if the box office could reach about 500 million, we could break even.

However, everyone doesn't think that way now.

Wang Shisong, who was originally disheartened, is now like a dying person experiencing a final burst of energy.

The company's situation is not good; he even fired one of his female secretaries, going from two secretaries to one.

After letting the high-heeled little secretary go through a night of bitterness and hardship, he still came to the company for a meeting, glowing with health.

In the meeting, he made an important decision—to increase the promotion budget! And to increase it vigorously!

We must promote "Shanghai Fortress" with the promotion intensity of the top blockbusters in the country!

Looking at the current situation in Blue Star Huaxia, this is equivalent to having to take out about 100 million.

Pineapple has not developed well in recent years; this is not just taking out another 100 million, but having to squeeze out 100 million.

But the temptation before him is truly too huge.

This can be called a Deadly temptation.

The reason is simple; President Wang also conducted a powerful analysis at the meeting.

"Currently, the science fiction market is exploding, and countless companies want to enter, but they cannot possibly have the advantage we have."

"Because this is—the Shuji Dang!"

"As one of the most golden periods, the entire release schedule for the Shuji Dang has basically been set in stone."

"Even if other companies are holding finished films that touch upon Science Fiction right now, it is almost impossible to forcefully insert them into the Shuji Dang for an August release."

"But we are different; our 'Shanghai Fortress' was originally scheduled for an August release."

"Moreover, we will be the only Science Fiction film in August!"

Listen, listen to this stance.

They themselves have already determined from the bottom of their hearts—'Shanghai Fortress' is a Science Fiction film!

In the conference room, President Wang's words were like a devil whispering in the ears of the group of executives.

Really, there truly won't be such a good opportunity ever again!

It is the Shuji Dang, which can rival the Spring Festival slot, it is the only Science Fiction film, and it is able to take the baton from 'The Wandering Earth' at the first opportunity, wildly reaping the dividends Luo Mo left behind, sponging back everything he ate from us, and taking revenge...

Adding all these factors together, whether weighing the pros and cons or simply getting carried away by emotion, it feels like this wave of operations is—'Reliable'!

At the same time, don't forget that we still have examples to refer to.

As mentioned before, after 'Monkey King: Hero is Back' became a hit, the domestic Animation market has been developing better and better.

There is no need to say much about Luo Mo's 'Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child' here; it directly made Luo Mo the director with the highest cumulative box office in the country!

Look at the Animation films from other companies; in these past few years, no fewer than five films have made a fortune, and no fewer than ten films have eaten their fill.

Many Animation companies were originally fighting with their backs to the wall, but as a result, they began to usher in a prosperous new spring.

Our Pineapple has more heritage than them; can't we also have a withered tree bloom again this time?

"'Shanghai Fortress', victory is certain!"

"August is the August that belongs to our Pineapple!"

Night falls, Shanghai.

This city does not yet know that a devil who dares to add the city's name into a film title is laughing wildly in the shadows.

In the high-end residential complex Xicheng in Shanghai, Xu Chujing is lying on her stomach on the soft, large bed with her back bare, while Luo Mo sits cross-legged to one side, applying body lotion to her back.

—"Push Oil Series".

The lines of the back are actually very important for a woman's physique.

This makes one's entire posture become better.

How slender and enchanting Xu Chujing's figure is, naturally, goes without saying.

There is a full-length indentation along the spine, and there are visible, charming dimples of Venus at the waist.

As for the junction of the waist and hips, that curve is even more enough to make one unable to look away.

Luo Mo sincerely feels that with the quality of the skin on her back and this level of smoothness, applying body lotion is superfluous.

But Xu Chujing states: "Because I keep applying it, I can maintain this state; the skin needs nourishment, you don't understand."

Luo Mo thinks in his heart: "I don't understand? Do you believe that in a moment, I will also give your skin a little bit of something to nourish it?"

And as everyone knows, the cost of body lotion includes oil.

Whether this thing is actually useful, Luo Mo is not clear.

He only knows that many women love to use it because the moment it is applied, the skin appears very bright and delicate, indeed having an effect similar to having pushed essential oil.

"What a world-famous painting." Luo Mo praises in his heart.

Xu Chujing is lying on the bed and has to use a pillow, otherwise two large parts would be subjected to strong compression, which would then make a certain man's eyes stare straight, and it is afraid that it would directly cause a phenomenon—the essential oil has no oil.

While enjoying the service of Technician Luo, she says: "The domestic Science Fiction market is afraid that it will also get better this time; you really are able to drive the industry."

"I estimate that this time, many people in the industry will be filled with Gratitude toward you, and they will be just one step away from enshrining you at home."

While Luo Mo's hands are circling the waist of the Heavenly Queen, striving to make the body lotion absorb perfectly, and incidentally feeling the firmness and elasticity of her water-snake waist, he says:

"I don't think so; it would be good if many people don't hate me in the future."

"Hmm?" Xu Chujing originally let out a comfortable moan, but under her deliberate restraint and superb acting skills, it turned into a confused sound of questioning.

The intonation of the entire modal particle goes from high to low, and then back up.

This Reversal and deliberate restraint actually makes Technician Luo even more excited.

A man just wants to see you in a state of total collapse.

While continuing his efforts, he chats: "You must think that the Animation market was also driven up before, right? The domestic Animation market was also a mess before, wasn't it?"

"Right, hmm—hmm?" After the moan, she cannot help but raise her hand and pull Luo Mo's hand, which had already moved to the junction of her waist and hips, back onto her back.

If you let him touch the junction of the waist and hips now, he will definitely touch the junction of the hips and legs in a moment!

Luo Mo says with a smile: "Animation and Science Fiction are still a bit different."

"Although the Animation market was sluggish before, there were still many excellent Animation professionals persisting, such as Guang Shu."

"And the Animation field has always had good works appearing one after another; it just lacked a catalyst for a big explosion."

"Conscientious Animation professionals, coupled with the rapid development of the market, will naturally do quite well."

"However, Science Fiction is different."

"It's not that there is absolutely no one in the country who can produce good Science Fiction."

"But, Science Fiction is definitely more expensive than Animation, at least in this country."

"And Animation professionals and capital did not have much contact before."

"But the people who make Science Fiction films are definitely the same group of people in the circle, the same group of companies, the same group of directors, the same group of screenwriters; they just switched to the Science Fiction market."

"If the investment is too large, the invasion of capital will be more serious."

"Plus, you should also be clear about what kind of character this group of people has."

"People like Guang Shu are clean, have dreams, and have pursuits."

"Among this group of people, it's not that there aren't such people, but there are too few."

"In the end, it will very likely still evolve into a game of capital, but many people may not necessarily play this game well," Luo Mo said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Chujing nodded.

This is just like how there used to be high-quality Xianxia dramas, but now only Xian-Idol dramas remain.

The "Xia" (chivalry) character is gone, leaving only the "Idol" from idol dramas.

Because this type of drama requires even less of a core, it is easier for screenwriters and directors to work on, and it is easier to promote people, creating traffic stars who can continuously rake in money.

Of course, this is not to say that there are no good works among Xian-Idol dramas, it's just that 【Xianxia is dead】, which makes people feel a bit regretful.

Once the purpose and original intention are no longer to bring good works to the audience, it is very easy for the entire industry to become increasingly foul and corrupt.

She could roughly understand Luo Mo's worries; for domestic Science Fiction to develop, it seems indeed much harder.

Without considering the negative traits of capital, from the perspective of content, the Animation industry still has a lot of substance; for example, things like our Myth stories can all be utilized, and everyone's resonance and sentiment will also be stronger.

Science Fiction is different.

Xu Chujing sighed slightly.

She still hoped that under Luo Mo's leadership, the Huaxia film industry could step into a new era.

She was also very clear that the industry cannot get better just by one person fighting alone; if the overall environment improves, it is good for everyone.

Hearing her sigh, Luo Mo sighed along with her, and he had to express his regret, his loneliness, his helplessness, his inability to act, and his anger at her failure to live up to expectations...

They say a man is three parts drunk, acting until you shed tears.

As a talented Actor, Luo Mo didn't even need the help of alcohol; he just acted hard! Letting you know that I also have many little emotions in my heart, but I am a man, I don't say it, I am waiting for you to discover it.

A woman who is in Love You, how could she handle this?

Wouldn't she have to transform into a female Bodhisattva to comfort his emotions?

She no longer cared whether Luo Mo's hand had crossed the line.

Bodhisattva Xu sat down on the lotus flower with a plop.

Time passed, and it reached the 22nd day of the release of The Wandering Earth.

During this period, the entire film industry could be described as restless.

Many people had set their sights on Science Fiction.

Some took a gamble, some struggled and then gave up, and then struggled again.

There was no help for it, because the cumulative total box office of The Wandering Earth had already exceeded 5 billion!

As for movies, the film itself is actually only one aspect.

Commercial films are, in essence, still a business, and the quality of the film represents—whether the goods are good or not.

The Wandering Earth was released at this time, occupying almost all the right timing, geographical advantages, and human harmony.

With the help of Huo Yuan and others, the core of the entire film was pointed out directly; this was something that was not actively done in terms of promotion on Earth, but rather done incidentally by Film Critics and the media.

On Earth, when promoting, they followed the conventional model, focusing on domestic sentiment and opening the door to Science Fiction, but did not overly link it to the three words 【Huaxia-style】.

Under the guidance of Huo Yuan and others, many elements were already known to everyone, and many people spontaneously connected it to the Saturated Rescue during natural disasters, directly maxing out the people's sense of pride!

At the same time, openly firing shots at Doomsday Apostle 2 also helped the box office tremendously.

Plus, the Blue Star version of The Wandering Earth was originally an upgraded version of the one on Earth, with efforts made to play to its strengths and avoid its weaknesses.

Therefore, the advantage here was indeed greater, and much greater!

What kind of bullshit Doomsday Shit 2; in the battle for commercial box office, it was no longer worthy of being an opponent to The Wandering Earth.

Even the world-class big IP Interstellar Warrior 6, which was also released globally, had its current total global box office surpassed by The Wandering Earth by half a head.

This also caused a sensation abroad!

During this time, foreign media reports on The Wandering Earth had never stopped.

The field of Science Fiction was originally one of their most glorious genres.

But who would have thought that the chronically weak Huaxia local Science Fiction market would actually have a day of massive success.

And it was a massive success with no traces to follow.

Like the previous Animation market, it started from the billion-plus box office of Monkey King: Hero is Back, firing the first shot.

Good heavens, is this the sound of a gunshot for The Wandering Earth? This is firing a cannon directly!

Everyone was stunned.

Luo Mo, from a madman who threw away seven or eight hundred million, to the point where people even suspected him of money laundering, had once again become a master of miracles!

Even many people abroad began to wonder, is the movie directed by this Singer who is still dominating the music charts really that awesome?

——Kind of Want to Watch it.

This young man really managed to fight the global box office of others with the box office of one country!

And in the weakest field!

Many domestic audiences flocked to the cinema to watch the movie a second time, or even a third or fourth time.

"Little Broken Ball, charge for me!"

"Today we are all ball-handling experts!"

Now, ordinary people are still concerned about whether the cumulative total box office of The Wandering Earth can top the domestic total box office list, while some data experts are focusing on another thing.

——The global film box office list!

Judging from the current list data, all the films on the top 100 global film box office list are films released globally.

The entertainment industry on Blue Star is generally slightly more prosperous than on Earth, and the total global population is also a bit larger, so the threshold for making the list is 870 million USD.

According to the exchange rate here, that is about 5.65 billion Huaxia currency.

Judging from the current situation, The Wandering Earth will likely make the list, becoming the first film to break into the global rankings while only being released in one country!

The key point is what position it can reach, and how far it can go!

This young man has actually managed to fight the world with the power of one nation!

On the other side, after adding a sum of promotional funds, the overwhelming promotional campaign for Shanghai Fortress has officially rolled out nationwide; President Wang can be said to have staked his entire fortune on it.

As for these two sides, we might as well wait and see.

(PS: Asking for monthly tickets at the end of the month.)
