The total box office of "The First Part of the Gods" exceeded 600 million yuan. Wuershan: It did not meet expectations

According to the official Weibo of Fengshen, on the seventh day of its release, Fengshen Part I topped the box office for five consecutive days, with the cumulative box office exceeding 617 million. However, such box office results did not meet Wuershan's expectations.

Wuershan said in a live broadcast that the box office performance of "The First Part of the Gods" must be good before the post-production of the second part can be promoted. At present, it is still far from the goal and he has not yet left the ICU. He said that he has made plans and can bear any results, because the significance of making this series of movies far outweighs the risks. If it does not meet expectations, the second and third parts may be difficult.

In addition, Wuershan also revealed that the second part will have more battle scenes, rare animals, and more exciting dramatic clips. The reasons behind the first part's post-credits Easter eggs "Wen Taishi returns to the court" and "Da Ji cuts off her tail to repay her gratitude and save the Shang King Yin Shou" will be revealed in the sequel.

"The First Part of the Conferred Gods" is a fantasy costume film directed by Wuershan and starring Fei Xiang, Li Xuejian, Huang Bo, Na Ran, Yu Shi, Chen Muchi, Ci Sha, Wu Yafan, Xia Yu, Yuan Quan, Wang Luoyong, Hou Wenyuan, Huang Xiyan, Li Yunrui, Yang Jue, and Chen Kun. It will be released in mainland China on July 20, 2023. The film tells the story of King Yin Shou of Shang colluding with the fox demon Daji, tyrannical and unjust, and triggering heaven's punishment. Kunlun Immortal Jiang Ziya went down the mountain with the "Conferred God List" to find the common master of the world to save the people. Ji Fa, the son of Xibohou, gradually discovered Yin Shou's true face and rebelled against Chaoge.
