Throughout the entire day of July 12th, Yang Mi did not communicate with him much.

The time in the United States is slower than that in China. It is past 4 pm in China, but they have just reached 0:00 on the 12th, and the premiere of "Pacific Rim" officially started.

Then what……

Nothing more.

The first day's box office will not be released until the 13th.

The IMDB and Rotten Tomatoes ratings have not yet been unlocked.

No one can say exactly what the reputation of this movie will be among everyone.

I can only wait until the 13th to see it again.

On the night of the 12th, Xu Xin returned home after a busy day and fell asleep peacefully.

After waking up on the 13th, he directly jumped over the wall and opened Rotten Tomatoes in the United States.

Rotten Tomatoes Freshness: 59%

Popcorn: 88%

The freshness of Rotten Tomatoes is determined by film critics with film review qualifications.

Popcorn is rated by ordinary users on a 5-point rating scale.

From 16:00 in the afternoon of China time, 0:00 in Los Angeles time, to 8:30 in the morning in China time, around 16:00 in the afternoon of Los Angeles time.

A total of 172 film critics gave the film a rating of less than 60%, which is below the pass mark.

And 5,923 Rotten Tomatoes users gave it a popcorn score of 88%.

Seeing this score, Xu Xin knew... the score of this film could almost be said to be stable.

This stability does not mean how high the box office is, but the quality itself.

Audiences who have watched it think it is a standard popcorn movie.

As for the scores from professional film critics... they are useful, but for science fiction commercial films, they are not absolute. On the contrary, the higher the popcorn score, the better.

So, without even looking at IMDB, he called his wife's WeChat account.

WeChat was quickly connected, and Yang Mi’s voice sounded full of sunshine:

"Hey, are you awake?"

"Well, I just watched Rotten Tomatoes, and the score is pretty good. The popcorn score is 88!"

"Hehe~"

Laughter rang from the phone:

"I'm also relieved. I didn't get much rest last night. As long as I pass the test, as long as I can hold 80...no, 75%, it's a success for me."

"As long as you have this mentality, you don't have to worry about comments or anything like that. Just prepare your new work in a down-to-earth manner."

"Yeah, I know. How are you doing there?"

"After applying for the visa, I just need to show up in Chengdu early the day after tomorrow. Director Chen brought over a few demos, and they all sound pretty good to me. I will leave directly from Italy then."

"Okay. Then I'll read the script."

"Go ahead."

Yang Mi no longer had any burdens in her mind, and she felt at ease in her heart.

I spent a whole day in the editing room.

Then early in the morning on the 15th, he took Su Meng on a plane to Chengdu.

At the same time, I also received a message from Yang Mi.

"Pacific Rim" first-day box office: $8.42 million.

The results...are neither good nor bad.

It falls within the mediocre range.

The unveiling ceremony of "Still Fantasy·7V Store" is in the afternoon. After the unveiling, it means that it is open for business, and it also means that Lao Wang may be trending because of the name of this store.

After all, no matter how you look at this name, it sounds like a show of affection.

Before taking off, he used the circumvention method taught by Lao Wang in the group to set up a VPN, went to the external network, and opened the official US website of Rotten Tomatoes.

The freshness level of "Pacific Rim" has dropped to 55%.

But its popcorn score rose to 92%.

Seeing this score, he turned off the VPN and opened the domestic Weibo.

Search topic#Pacific Rim#

The first thing you see is a Weibo post with high likes and comments.

[I went to see "Pacific Rim"! It's so good! The special effects scenes are so shocking! Especially the soundtrack. When the robot appeared, the soundtrack from the big speaker gave me goosebumps! Yang Mi is very beautiful, male

The protagonist is also quite handsome, and the whole process gave me the feeling of being high-energy and non-stop! Highly recommended! Friends who haven’t watched it must watch it, it’s so enjoyable!】

This Weibo is also accompanied by several photos taken in a movie theater facing the screen.

At first glance, this person should be in the United States.

But he had actually seen this topic on the 13th.

Including the following two replies that are like being possessed by a mentally retarded person:

【Okay, where can I go to see it?】

【Go to the cinema to watch.】

【Which cinema should I go to?】

[Buy tickets to watch at movie theaters in the United States.]

[How many buses do you take to movie theaters in the United States?]...

The two netizens, like Douchong, made this topic receive many likes and comments.

He had already seen it, so naturally he no longer paid attention, but instead focused on other newly emerging related topics:

[Yang Mi’s Hollywood debut "Pacific Rim" was well received! The score is very high and highly anticipated]

[Hollywood’s leading heroine confirmed! “Pacific Rim” is so popcorn-worthy!]

[Spoiler alert! What exactly is the story of "Pacific Rim"? 】

[Yang Mi’s new film is well received in Hollywood! It was a huge box office hit on the first day!]

When he saw the news, he finally couldn't stand it any longer.

The first-day box office of over 8 million U.S. dollars may be a big hit in China... but in the United States, it can't be said to be a big hit.

Moreover, this piece of news that was full of praise gave him the smell of a "public release".

Especially the "big sales" one is pure nonsense.

Not to mention anything else, "Iron Man 3", which was released this year, grossed US$13.2 million at 0:00, and even made a first-day box office of US$34.37 million that day.

This is called a big sale.

The 8-million-dollar "Pacific Rim" used these two words, which is definitely a fool's errand.

But he could probably guess that this was either the work of Huayi or the legendary Dongfang.

This kind of propaganda is really in line with the national conditions.

In an even darker extension, if it is really a big hit when it is released in China, it is natural. But if it is not a big hit, but a box office failure... then my wife may be a Thousand Hammer at any time.

Broken drum.

This is a form of propaganda that can turn into flattery at any time.

Or exaggerated propaganda.

But it cannot be said that there is no benefit at all. It can only be said that whether this kind of publicity is good or bad in the end still depends on the audience's acceptance of the movie "Pacific Rim".

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! And now that the first-day North American box office of "Pacific Rim" has been released, I can only say that... it is not very optimistic.

I just hope the impact is not big.

He locked the screen and thought to himself.

…

At 10:30, Xu Xin arrived in Chengdu.

Because he left the plane in the United States for his wife to use, he took a civil aviation flight this time which he was not used to.

When I was going to the toilet, the stewardess asked me to take two photos.

After getting off the plane, it was Xu Dafa who came to pick him up.

Wang Sicong bought a house in Chengdu, but it has not been renovated yet. He now lives in a rented house in Wuhou District.
