"Are you going to the Lighthouse Country for the premiere?" a smart reporter asked.

Yang Mi smiled and nodded: "That's very correct. The premiere time in North America is a day and a half later than in our country, which is just enough for them to fly over."

"Mr. Yang, do you think "Interstellar" can break the box office record of "Stars"?" the reporter asked.

For the premiere of "Interstellar", pregnant Yang Mi also came with her.

Yang Mi, who was wearing loose clothes, smiled and said, "My husband said it's okay, so it's definitely okay."

After the movie fans went home after watching the movie, they couldn't help but feel excited and gathered together at the film review evening hosted by the Department of Culture.

In less than half an hour, more than 139,000 people have already given "Interstellar" a super high score of 9.6.

"The product produced by Xiao Shen must be a high-quality product. Let's start the second time tomorrow."

"Only watch it twice? I bought movie tickets for the next five days."

"Domestic science fiction films started with "The Wandering Planet" and rose with "Interstellar"."

"Originally I just expected "Across the Stars" to reach the level of "The Wandering Planet", but I didn't expect Xiao Shen to give me such a big surprise."

"Space stations, spaceships, meteor showers, waves tens of meters high, black holes, wormholes, etc., my God, it's really shocking."

"In the movie "Interstellar", the father-daughter relationship between Xiao Shen and Zhou Xun is very moving."

"One of the best science fiction movies in history, bar none."

"The most successful aspect of "Interstellar" is not the shocking special effects, but the family love that runs throughout."

"When I returned, I was still a teenager, but my daughter was already over a hundred years old. This may be the most severe punishment in the world."

"Holy shit, spoilers are five centimeters shorter."

“···”

Thanks to its excellent reputation, movie tickets for "Across the Stars" have become hard to come by.

Before the next day, the pre-sale box office had already exceeded RMB 2 billion, and it was scheduled to go straight to the sixth day of the first lunar month, and the venue was still full, with no seats available.

This reminded many people of the grand occasion when "Stars" was released.

Theaters want to increase the number of films they can film, but unfortunately they have reached their limit because they have to allocate 50% of their film schedule to other films.

But the question is, can any of the other movies compare to "Interstellar"?

The money is right in front of them, but the theater can only watch and cannot eat, which makes them feel like they are eating.

Finally, Longda Cinema was the first to respond and directly increased the filming volume of "Interstellar" to 75%. The slogan was to support the film of its boss Xiao Shen and help "Interstellar" break the world box office record.

Qingtian Entertainment Company is one of the shareholders of Longda Cinema, and Qingtian Company belongs to Zhang Xiao. This is something everyone knows.

But everyone knows that the excuse of Longda Cinema is pure nonsense.

Other film producers were very angry and immediately reported Wanda to the Department of Culture.

The Department of Culture immediately convened an emergency meeting, and after some discussions, ordered Longda Cinema to comply with the regulations on the protection of domestic films.

When other theater chains saw this situation, they immediately stopped.

However, something unexpected happened.

Including "Interstellar", among the twelve movies in the Spring Festival.

In addition to "The Myth" and "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons," nine other producers actually asked the Ministry of Culture to apply for postponement of the release at the same time. The reasons were even more bizarre, but the purpose was very clear, that is, they did not want to compete with "Interstellar".

Of course, they don't want to be cannon fodder.

Seeing this situation, the heads of major theater chains made joking calls to the Department of Culture, requesting that the films from nine producers be delayed until the seventh day of the first lunar month.

Neither the producers nor the distributors want to release a movie during the Spring Festival, which is the first time in the history of Chinese films.

The Department of Culture did not impose any coercion. After confirming the wishes of both parties, they agreed.

When the theater heard the news, they were overjoyed and immediately returned all the pre-sale box office of the other nine movies to the fans, and then gave all the filming that originally belonged to them to "Interstellar".

The performance of "Interstellar" did not disappoint the theaters. In less than three hours, all movie tickets were sold out.

As a result, there are only three movies left in this year's Spring Festival, namely "Myth", "Journey to the West to Conquer Demons" and "Across the Stars".

The first two movies together only received 25% of the filming volume, which is far lower than "Interstellar", but their attendance rates reached more than 90%.

As long as the reputation is good, I believe the box office will be equally impressive.

The other side.

New York International Airport.

Zhang Xiao took the lead and walked out of the airport with the actors from the "Interstellar" crew, including Chen Daoming, Zhou Xun, Deng Cao, Dan Hong, Zhang Yi, Reba, and their respective assistants.

Deng Cao asked: "Director Zhang, is there anyone outside the airport to pick us up?"

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "Xiaocao, can you stop asking such a stupid question?"

"What do you mean?" Deng Cao asked very puzzled.

Zhang Yi smiled and explained: "Brother Cao, New York is the headquarters of Disney Film Company, and Director Zhang is the second largest shareholder of Disney Film Company. In other words, this is Director Zhang's territory, can no one take over?

"

Zhou Xun continued to add: "Maybe Mr. Herman, the CEO of Disney Company, is waiting outside the airport."

Deng Cao exclaimed: "Herman? No way?"

As everyone walked out of the airport, Zhang Xiao glanced around and soon discovered Heilman and Chen Li who came to pick them up.

Herman also saw Zhang Xiao and others, and immediately came over to greet him, with a smile on his face and said: "Mr. Zhang, Ning Hao..."

Zhang Xiao shook hands with him and said: "Mr. Herman, you should be sitting in the office handling the company's affairs now instead of coming to pick me up at the airport. I am not the kind of person who pays attention to ostentation."

Herman smiled and said: "Mr. Zhang, Disney's most important job now is the release of "Interstellar". This movie is no worse than "Stars". I believe it will be a success."

Zhang Xiao said: "I hope so!"

When Zhang Xiao greeted Herman, Zhou Xun behind him said softly: "My guess is indeed correct, Mr. Herman is really here."

Deng Cao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the middle-aged man in front of him who was trying to flatter Zhang Xiao, and exclaimed: "Is this guy the CEO of Disney?"

"Yes, don't look down on him!" Zhou Xun said angrily: "Herman is a grandson in front of shareholders, but in Hollywood, even when facing top stars, he always looks arrogant."

Deng Cao said with envy on his face: "I wonder when I will reach Director Zhang's status."

Zhou Xun rolled his eyes and said, "It's probably going to be tough in this life!"

Deng Cao immediately shut himself down.

After arriving at the underground parking lot, good guys, eighteen bodyguards in suits and sunglasses stood upright next to the vehicle, with their hands behind their backs, looking imposing.

Zhang Yi was secretly speechless and thought to himself, Director Zhang's arrogance is really grand.

Zhang Xiao, Chen Daoming and others got into an extended Lincoln sedan, while the others got into the bodyguard's car.
