Chapter 578

The total box office of *Ne Zha* was over 5 billion, not only entering the history of Chinese film but also being on the list of global film history, ranking 87th.

Such results, no matter how you look at it, were very impressive.

But now, Xu Mingyue's box office expectation for the new movie was actually higher than *Ne Zha*?

This sounded a bit big.

"Sci-fi is not anime, Chinese sci-fi themes are even colder than anime themes... wait, before Xu Mingyue made anime themes popular, wasn't anime also a niche?" Meng Yu was a bit unsure.

Looking at the twins, she couldn't see through them either.

How many miracles had they created?

Moreover, it wasn't impossible. If one day, Xu Mingyue could film Chinese-style sci-fi and even lead Chinese sci-fi to the world...

"Why am I looking forward to it?" Meng Yu couldn't laugh or cry.

Although she knew the difficulty was great, at this moment, she had a vague premonition in her heart that they could succeed.

There was no way around it; the twins were too young.

Youth was capital.

They were only twenty-one this year, and ten years later, they would only be thirty-one.

With their ability, was it difficult to film Chinese-style sci-fi well in ten years?

They were Xu Mingyue after all.

"Wait, they said they wanted to use 700 million to film *The Wandering Earth*???"

Boom!

Meng Yu, who reacted, was shocked.

Admittedly.

However, this was China!

How many movies in China had an investment of 700 million?

Very few!

Moreover, Xu Mingyue's movies or TV series were famous for using money on the blade. The actors' salaries were outrageously low, in a state of "act if you want, get lost if you don't." Participating in their film and television works was entirely for the purpose of increasing popularity, becoming famous, and increasing representative works.

Salary?

Who didn't know that the twins didn't spoil stars at all and wouldn't offer sky-high salaries!

They invested the vast majority of the crew's funds into production such as costumes, props, and special effects.

Therefore, Xu Mingyue's works were often able to win big with small.

With a movie cost of 10 or 20 million, they could get a box office of hundreds of millions or even over one billion.

A movie with a cost of about 50 million could even get a box office of billions!

They repeatedly created box office myths.

And now, they actually wanted to spend 700 million to create a sci-fi movie!

This was a big move that Xu Mingyue had never had before.

If they really invested all 700 million in real money into the movie production, it was hard to imagine what kind of movie it would be.

Meng Yu felt shocked. Suddenly, she felt that the box office of *The Wandering Earth* exceeding *Ne Zha* was not Xu Mingyue's big talk at all.

You have to know that the total cost of *Ne Zha* was only a little over 100 million.

They had this ability!

In fact.

Meng Yu didn't know that the production cost of 700 million was what the young girls referred to based on the cost of *Wandering Earth 2*.

Compared to *Wandering Earth 2*, *Wandering Earth 1*, although the story line was very full, the special effects were indeed much worse. This was a point that people on Earth regretted very much.

There was no way around it; the funds of the *Wandering Earth 1* crew at that time were really too small, and they faced financial crises several times during filming, once having a difficult birth. Thanks to the director of the film being a "Cyber Charm Queen, Sci-fi Succubus, Cyber Daji," who was extremely charming and best at "bewitching people's hearts," otherwise, the *Wandering Earth* series would have been difficult to film.

And 700 million was just the estimated investment cost of the young girls. In order to use *Wandering Earth 1* to create film industrialization, they were willing to invest more money.

They had too much money now.

The interview time was only twenty minutes. Meng Yu and Guo Jie left quickly after the interview.

When walking to the door, Meng Yu looked back and looked at the smiling twins, feeling in a trance that there was nothing in this world that could stump them.

"Let's go, the internet is going to be lively again." Recalling the interview content, Meng Yu's mouth curled up.

Those twins, not only dared to think, but also dared to do!

"What a pity, they are girls. If they were little milk dogs, I might have to eat tender grass as an old cow." Meng Yu sighed.

Xu Mingyue: Girls are not impossible.

The efficiency of Meng Yu and others was very high. They quickly produced the interview content, and before publishing, she specially sent the finished product to Xu Mingyue Studio and communicated with the staff there.

After all, the other party was Xu Mingyue, and the respect that should be given should be given.

In the future, it might be uncertain to deal with them often. If they could leave a good impression on them, it was something many peers couldn't ask for.

Immediately after, the interview video was released on the whole internet.

Xu Mingyue's own popularity, everyone's attention to their new movie, and the twins' answers in the interview, in an instant, the whole internet boiled, triggering countless heated discussions, and even the industry was shocked!

"Hahahaha, some countries engage in individual heroism and political correctness..."

"Eagle Sauce: You might as well say my name directly!"

"China's own sci-fi? Collectivism? I can't imagine it!"

"2075? Facing a crisis? Is it a doomsday movie?"

"Holy crap! Holy crap! 700 million to film a sci-fi movie!"

"If you really invest so much, I'm afraid this is the movie with the largest investment in Chinese film history, right?"

"Yes!"

"Damn, the charm queen is really going to do something big!"

"Spent blood capital!"

"The production cost of *Lost on Mars* didn't have that much!"

"Heaven-defying, this is really going to burn money to do sci-fi!"

"Domineering! What a great spirit!"

"Xu Mingyue: Sci-fi is afraid of burning money, it's okay, I have a lot of money, burn 700 million first to see."

"To be fair, they are really rich. Just in terms of music and film, they don't know how much money they have earned. Not to mention, they also have side businesses such as novels, games, live broadcasts, etc. They are veritable wealthy families."

"Brother above, your threshold for side businesses is a bit high (dog head)."

And for insiders.

After watching the interview video, besides shock, the biggest and most direct reaction was: Crazy! The Roll Emperor is going to start rolling again!

These crazy super beautiful girls Xu Mingyue are going to roll again!

Those costumes, props, special effects, etc., just fool the audience, it's almost enough, is it necessary to do this?

You do this, it's purely raising the investment cost in the industry!

—"What kind of level are we, in the same entertainment circle as the Roll Emperor"

For a time, many insiders were very depressed.

However, depression is depression. Now in Chinese entertainment, two sentences are well said. One is "When the investment of Moon starts, the world is wide," and the other is "If you can't roll, join!" Smart artists have already taken action, and audition applications are like the snow flying outside, throwing towards Xu Mingyue Studio.

Since then, the *Wandering Earth* crew has officially entered the preparation period.

Days passed by.

For some reason, it was close to the Spring Festival, and time suddenly slowed down. Many people felt that every day and every hour were difficult to endure.

I just want to say, why is there no holiday yet?

Fortunately, although time was slow, it was walking after all.

Xu Youyue and Xu Mingyue had another birthday, and when they officially became twenty-one-year-old big girls, the Spring Festival holiday came.

Subsequently, New Year's Eve arrived. Amidst the sound of firecrackers, since the first broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala, the Spring Festival Gala, which had never been absent, also came.
