Chapter 577
There was no way around it; sci-fi + Xu Mingyue, just these five words could make people's hearts ripple.
Whether suspicious or supportive, just ask you, are you interested?
In fact.
As far as Meng Yu knew, since Xu Mingyue's new movie project was initiated and caused a sensation on the internet, too many peers wanted to interview them.
But Xu Mingyue didn't accept any of them.
So far, no media had gotten the first-hand news.
After all, Xu Mingyue didn't like to be interviewed.
The number of times they accepted interviews was pitifully small.
Even Meng Yu herself didn't know why she won the lottery!
Yes.
Won the lottery!
Only such a word could describe it.
Interviewing Xu Mingyue was not much different from winning a big prize.
The interview time agreed upon by both sides was very short. Meng Yu and Guo Jie came back to their senses and quickly sat down.
On the other side.
Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue were also looking at Meng Yu.
They secretly praised that this sister looked pretty good, had some temperament, and then... there was no then.
They weren't big scumbags; how could they love one every time they saw one?
Besides.
There were too many girls who were turned gay, which was not good for the development of the country and the nation.
After all, the birth rate was so low now, they couldn't add chaos to it...
Well, it was mainly because there were already a bit too many fish in the pond now, and they couldn't handle it at all.
Even if they were one soul with two bodies, they could perform dual-line operations, but their energy was limited after all.
As for why they agreed to the interview with Xinhai Media?
The answer was actually very simple.
Just because they found the four words "Xinhai Media" pleasing to the eye, they just chose it randomly.
And the purpose of doing all this, naturally, was to promote the new movie and increase people's confidence and expectations for this movie of theirs, which was necessary.
Seriously, Meng Yu personally admired the twins Xu Mingyue very much.
In the Chinese entertainment industry, whether in or out of the circle, everyone basically knew what kind of big dye vat this was.
Even the stars inside said it was dirty.
These days, one could often see stars collapsing, so much so that everyone was almost used to it. Occasionally, when a star collapsed, everyone wouldn't be surprised, wouldn't be shocked, but instead felt it was very normal.
Netizens even categorized the collapsed stars, such as the drug-taking team, the prostitution team, the third-party team, the cheating team, etc.
When a star collapsed because of something, the hot search on Weibo often became "cheating team adds one point," "prostitution team adds one point"...
It made people unable to help but laugh!
But stars like Xu Mingyue were very rare. They were getting more and more popular, but they had no scandals and were very self-disciplined.
Even if there were scandals, they were between female stars, such as the Zhu Zhu Xudan sandwich cookie, but could such scandals be counted as scandals?
It was highly likely that those people were randomly shipping CP.
em... confirmed!
Plus the twins' business ability was online, and they kept creating various classic works, which was even more rare.
They weren't keen on charity, had some small flaws, but it didn't matter.
Everyone was a busy person, and the interview started quickly.
The first few questions were ordinary questions, and Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue replied one by one, and the answers were standard.
Meng Yu naturally knew what kind of interview content netizens wanted to see. After the foreplay, she started to ask key questions.
"Two Director Moons, there are netizens on the internet speculating that you were stimulated by the global box office of *Lost on Mars*, so you wanted to film a sci-fi movie. What do you think about this?" Unable to distinguish which was the older sister and which was the younger sister, Meng Yu simply called them "Director Moon."
She asked this question very sharply.
Xu Youyue thought for a while and replied: "The current box office of *Flying Swords of Dragon Gate* is 1.5 billion, and the current box office of *Lost on Mars* is 1.2 billion. Obviously, the box office of the former is more than the latter, so stimulation is unnecessary."
"Of course, if we talk about the global box office, our movie's box office will definitely be much less, but there is nothing to say about it; it's not a movie on the same track."
Meng Yu listened and nodded frequently.
Xu Mingyue took over the conversation and said: "We actually had the idea of filming a sci-fi movie long ago. Whether it was *The Beginning*, *Resident Evil*, or even the special effects department of North Star Company, a large part of the reason was to lay the foundation for the next sci-fi movie!"
"Some things always need to be done by someone. To tell you the truth, we have had a sci-fi complex since we were young, and we really like sci-fi."
Xu Mingyue was bragging without a draft.
To be precise, it was their previous lives that particularly liked sci-fi.
Meng Yu kept a smile on her face, and her heart was slightly shocked. It was rare for girls to like sci-fi.
"So, there was *The Wandering Earth*?"
Xu Youyue nodded: "The culture of each country will lead to different styles of works. For example, some countries' sci-fi movies always have individual heroism and political correctness. Long ago, we were thinking, what would it be like if we filmed our country's sci-fi?"
Meng Yu's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
Some countries? Individual heroism and political correctness? You might as well expose the name of the United States directly!
Or expose the ID card of *Lost on Mars*.
But they really dared to say it.
As her thoughts shifted, Xu Mingyue continued: [Redacted]
This was very Chinese.
Meng Yu's eyes lit up. Collectivist Chinese sci-fi?
Not to mention the box office, just this idea was very creative!
Xu Mingyue could become a top domestic director because they had their own strengths. Now she understood that they had their own thinking and understanding of every subject.
However, their mouths were a bit poisonous.
Meng Yu could imagine that when this video was released, the internet would be chaotic again.
"Then what story does this movie tell? Can you reveal it?"
Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue looked at each other and smiled slightly: "The story takes place in 2075. At that time, the entire Earth was facing an unprecedented crisis."
"And then?" Meng Yu found that the sisters' words paused for a while, and asked.
"That's it," Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue spread their hands.
Meng Yu: ...
Guo Jie: ...
Do you have to be so short, hey.
Subsequently, Meng Yu asked several more questions according to the manuscript.
The twins answered quite well.
Next was the last question.
It was also the most critical question.
"Director Moon, what is your expectation for the box office of *The Wandering Earth*?"
How can you ask about the box office before the movie is even filmed?
This question was obviously a trap.
Meng Yu and Guo Jie stared at the twins without blinking.
The sisters smiled and said: "The investment is about 700 million. As for the box office, the requirement is not high, just a bit higher than *Ne Zha*."
Meng Yu suddenly widened her eyes, indicating that she was bragged to?
You tell me this is not a high requirement?
