Now, "Independence Day" has created a new history, officially marking the beginning of the billion-dollar era in film box office history, and "Independence Day" is not just over the one-billion threshold, but more than 1.25 billion Wan's box office results have made all film practitioners around the world start to cheer, because this not only means that the film box office cap is opened, and all practitioners will benefit; it also means that film, as an important part of culture, its social impact Power is reaching a new height, and the film industry will receive more attention and attention in the future.
