c544 The third promotional song of “The Wandering Earth”
On January 17, one week before the Spring Festival, “The Wandering Earth” released its third movie promotion song “Light Years Away”:
Feel it on my fingertips
How to freeze time instantly
Remember to look into my firm eyes
Maybe there is no tomorrow
Facing the vast sea of stars
We are as tiny as dust
Floating in helplessness
The weather is nice today, the sun is warm. Yu Dongqing was sitting in the courtyard of her house, basking in the sun and drinking tea, watching her son Lele playing non-stop with the puppy.
In the wireless headphones, the song “Light Years Away” was playing.
In the original time and space, Deng Ziqi wrote the lyrics, composed the music and sang it himself. Now Yu Dongqing has written it and handed it over to his subsidiary Guo Xin to sing it.
The lingering lyrics are paired with the moving melody, and the performance is majestic.
The coldness when the world in Mv is collapsing merges with the rolling heat in human blood, causing the fire of hope to crash into the boundless darkness.
Unlike the previous two promotional songs, which had a strong folk flavor, this one was a more popular song and quickly became popular all over the country.
The effect is very good.
At this time, the cell phone on the tea table next to her rang. When she saw that it was Li Wan, she picked it up.
“Holly, what are you busy with?”
“Nothing to do. It’s such a nice weather. Let’s drink some tea and enjoy the sun at home.”
“Envy. You are so laid-back and I am so busy.”
“You like it. You’ll feel uncomfortable if I leave you idle.” Yu Dongqing replied.
Li Wan is a hands-on person who likes to take care of everything in the company, which is completely different from Yu Dongqing’s personality.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Let me tell you the good news. Our pre-sale box office has surpassed that of “Crime Squad” and reached 68 million!”
“Where’s Space Troopers?”
“81 million.”
Oh, not even close.
“There are still two films announced to be postponed.” Li Wan added.
Yu Dongqing knew that he was talking about two low-budget movies, so he chose to quit.
“The competition for this year’s Spring Festival is too fierce. By the way, don’t forget to premiere in Shanghai the day after tomorrow.” Li Wan reminded on the phone.
How could you forget such a big thing?
I just don’t want to move.
“Old Li, if you lead the team there, I don’t have to go.” Yu Dongqing said.
“How can that work? Now is the critical moment of announcement and release, and you can’t let it slip! We hope to exceed the pre-sale box office of “Space Men”, and we rely on this last fire.”
Well, Yu Dongqing had no choice but to agree.
The time soon arrived on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. In the evening, Yu Dongqing rushed back from Shanghai again.
“Husband, I heard that your premiere in Shanghai was very successful this time.” Mingliang asked while helping to pack things.
“It’s okay.” Yu Dongqing replied.
Unlike previous roadshows where only trailers were shown, this time the entire movie was shown, and the response was really strong.
The most intuitive thing is: the pre-sale box office has exceeded 100 million, which is less than 2 million different from “Space Men”.
The two-power struggle for hegemony among Spring Festival movies has become very obvious.
“Okay, let’s not talk about this. Pack your things quickly. We have to rush back to our hometown early tomorrow morning.” Yu Dongqing said.
This Spring Festival, I will go back to Huayin to celebrate the New Year.
Early the next morning, Yu Dongqing’s family packed their suitcases and drove straight to their hometown in Qin Province.
When I arrived at my hometown Beizhai at noon, my parents were naturally very happy. They had already prepared a meal and were waiting for them.
There is no New Year’s Eve this year. On the evening of the 29th, the family had a lively reunion dinner and then watched the Spring Festival Gala in the main room.
In recent years, the living conditions in her hometown have improved significantly. In order to solve the problem of heating in winter, Yu Dongqing specially asked Yu Huaqing, the party secretary, to buy several air conditioners for the family. It will be cool in summer and there will be no need for coal stoves for heating in winter.
But the parents were reluctant to use it. In winter, they still set up a coal stove in the main room to bake coal. When they saw their son and daughter-in-law coming back, they turned on the air conditioner.
Yu Dongqing was chatting with her parents while watching TV. Yu Tongtong obviously couldn’t watch it, and suddenly said: “Dad, aunt, I’m going to watch “The Wandering Earth” tomorrow!”
“I also want to go see it with my sister.”
Yu Lele, who was playing with toys aside, heard this and said immediately.
You are a little kid, can you understand?
Yu Dongqing felt funny after hearing this.
However, I didn’t visit relatives on New Year’s Day, so I had nothing to do. My daughter wanted to go and see her, so Yu Dongqing agreed.
“Tongtong, make a reservation for our grandparents and us, and let the whole family go together!” Meiliang interjected.
“okay.”
Yu Tongtong took out her mobile phone.
Liu Fenglan didn’t really want to see it.
I heard that movie tickets are very expensive nowadays. A ticket costs at least 40 yuan.
But if your son takes pictures, you must go. Even if you don’t understand, you can still support them.
But what makes everyone embarrassed is that the tickets for the first day of the first lunar month have already been sold out in advance!
Not even on the second or third day of the first lunar month!
Only a small number of tickets were available for the 11 o’clock night show on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but it was already midnight after the night show, which affected everyone’s rest.
“Should we book for the fifth day of the lunar new year?” Yu Tongtong asked.
“I don’t have time on the fifth or sixth day of the lunar month. I have to visit relatives.” Yu Dongqing interrupted.
Yu Tongtong doesn’t want to visit relatives.
In the past, my father didn’t care, but now I can’t. I have to drag her along, saying that if you go to study abroad, how many years can you go back to your hometown?
Now that you’re back, come with me. You can’t forget your roots.
Yu Tongtong had to listen to her father’s words, but she pursed her lips and was unhappy.
“Forget it, Tongtong, let’s go back to Yanjing and watch it again.” Meili hurriedly advised: “And the viewing effect in Yanjing Cinema is better.”
Yu Tongtong felt a little unhappy, but she could only nod in agreement.
She suddenly thought of something, stood up and ran outside.
“Tongtong, what do you want to do?” Yu Dongqing asked hurriedly.
“I’m going to make a phone call!”
This kid.
Yu Dongqing couldn’t help but shake his head when he saw his daughter’s back.
The older I get, the less obedient I become.
Yu Tongtong called Xia Yunxing.
Standing under the jujube tree in the yard, Yu Tongtong said that she couldn’t buy tickets in her hometown and felt a little depressed.
“Tongtong, let alone the county seat, it’s not easy to buy tickets even in Yanjing.” Xia Yunxing comforted on the phone: “Just spend the New Year with your uncle and aunt, and I’ll ask you to watch it when you get back.”
“Then you are not allowed to look in advance!” Yu Tongtong warned.
“Okay, I’ll watch it together when you come back, but can I watch “Cosmic Police” in advance?” Xia Yunxing said.
“No way! Li Yunjie is my idol, and I want to watch this movie too. You are not allowed to watch it in advance!”
“Ah? Well, let’s wait and see when you come back.” Xia Yunxing was helpless.
“Don’t be unhappy. After watching the movie, my sister will treat you to crayfish.” Yu Tongtong said with a smile.
“Really? Keep your word?”
“How could sister lie to you?”
“You often lie to me and let me go.” Xia Yunxing muttered in his heart, but did not say it out loud.
It was like this during the Chinese New Year in the countryside. There wasn’t much entertainment, just eating and drinking and visiting relatives all day long. Yu Dongqing felt dizzy by the end of the day.
Fortunately, she had Mingliang as her company, some of whom persuaded her to go back, and some simply asked for her help, so Yu Dongqing drank a lot less this year.
Just when Yu Dongqing was happily celebrating the New Year in his hometown, this year’s Spring Festival movie schedule was full of movies, with Chinese and foreign blockbusters being staged together, which was very lively.
Many movie fans watch several movies in full and don’t want to miss out on the excitement.
Wang Xiaobing is such a person.
