Time goes by and it is May 5th.

It has been 10 days since the release of "The Wandering Earth", and the cumulative box office has reached 30 billion yuan.

Although the box office growth rate has slowed down without the bonus of the "short holiday", it still undoubtedly occupies the top position in the box office list during the same period.

Whether in terms of production quality, audience reputation or box office, this film is the pinnacle of domestic science fiction so far.

Although its release period has not yet ended, it now seems that this domestic science fiction film is undoubtedly a huge success.

A professional organization has predicted that the final box office of this film will be between 48 billion and 50 billion.

As soon as this number came out, many questioning voices on the Internet before the release disappeared.

After all, this box office is not only the first among domestic science fiction films, but also ranks among the top ten in the science fiction film category in global film history.

At this time, a foreign interview video was circulated on the Internet.

In the video, it should be at an event where the well-known science fiction director Pierre is being interviewed.

A reporter asked a question.

"Mr. Pierre, there is a science fiction film called The Wandering Earth in China recently. It has received wide acclaim for its excellent special effects and plot. Some organizations predict that its final box office will reach 6.5 million US dollars."

"May I ask what you think of this?"

A second ago, Pierre was talking and laughing gracefully in front of the camera. When he heard this question, his face suddenly darkened and he replied directly.

"I don't understand!"

The reporter who asked the question thought he really didn't know, so he added, "The director of this film is Ye Zhiqiu, and he and you once had a bet about a science fiction film."

Hearing this, Pierre's face darkened even more, and he said stiffly: "I said, I don't know about this, and I have no comment!"

"One more thing, I personally think that science fiction films created in countries where science fiction has no soil for growth are extremely unscientific, and their box office results are not meaningful for reference."

This video was transmitted back to China, causing anger among many fans.

"Fuck, this old man is going to deny it!"

"At the Vladivostok Film Festival, the media reported that Ye Zhiqiu made a science fiction film that grossed over 40 billion yuan. He wanted to admit his mistake and apologize in person."

"Hahaha, you still say you don't know. Your tone is so sour."

"I guess he was so angry that he pinched his thigh in bed at night."

"What do you mean by 'there is no soil for science fiction to grow'? Screw you! To be fair, the science fiction elements in The Wandering Earth are a hundred times stronger than your Battlestar Galactica!"

"Only science fiction made in the West is science fiction, but science fiction made in other places is unscientific? What a double standard."

"I have come to realize that these so-called gentlemen in the West are just pretending. Once their interests are touched, their bandit nature will be revealed without a doubt."

"Ye Zhiqiu: I just like to see you not liking me but unable to do it."

“In one word: awesome! I decided to watch The Wandering Earth again tonight!”

However, there is never a shortage of "argumentative people" and "black fans" on the Internet.

There is a group of people who always regard the West as the representative of civilization and advancement. When faced with unwarranted accusations from others, the first thing they think of is not to fight back, but to actively look for their own problems.

This kind of people are generally called "reflective monsters".

In response to the explosive popularity of "The Wandering Earth", this group also had a wave of "reflection" online.

[Has the science fiction that only Chinese people read reached world-class standards? ]

[Is it really a good thing that a single market accounts for too high a share of the box office? 】

[The first year of domestic science fiction is coming? The box office of "The Wandering Earth" has exceeded 30 billion. In addition to this carnival, perhaps we should think more about how to make domestic science fiction go global. 】

As if there was a driving force behind the scenes, these "reflective" articles about "The Wandering Earth" suddenly appeared in large numbers on the Internet.

Each of these articles is a long essay full of quotations from classics, and the words reveal a sense of rational analysis and criticism of "everyone else is drunk but I am sober", which has caused quite a stir online.

In the comment section, there were many people who expressed their agreement, but there were even more netizens who couldn't stand it and started to criticize mercilessly.
