Director’s Legend

Chapter 72: 【The King of the Mainland】

"In "Source Code", thinking is the best action, an anti-standard action movie."-"New York Times"

"The plot is roundabout, weird, and occasionally exceeds expectations. Without the hard-working publicity of Lionsgate, the film would have done nothing."-"Los Angeles Times"

"The film tells the story of a dead man trying to save Haijin City from a nuclear disaster. It is full of suspense, beautifully produced, and a classic horror work."-"The New Yorker"

"This thriller with a sci-fi movie as the background was not particularly noticeable at first, but he is indeed too good, and it is so inspiring."-"San Francisco Chronicle"

"The content is chaotic, the rhythm is slack, and the poor acting skills of the male and female protagonists are unbearable. Chinese directors want to write, direct and perform themselves, but they have completely failed."-BBC film review program "Speaking of Movies"

"The Source Code has always been confusing and even suspicious. The director, screenwriter, and actors don't even know what they are doing, but this is how the film makes people want to stop."-"Boston Globe"

"A very good film work, occasionally can speed up the pulse and heartbeat of the audience."-"New York Daily News"

"The Source Code" uses a precise and cautious plot to convey one to the world. Don't forget the groundhog Phil effect and the belief in a toast to peace."-"Washington Post"

In a week of box office success, Rotten Tomatoes website received a total of 197 reviews from film critics, with 177 votes for red tomatoes and 20 votes for green leaves. The website’s freshness was 90%, a great success. I have to say that although people in the United States have all kinds of arrogance and discrimination, they are still worth learning in terms of professionalism, and there is no random bad review because this is a Chinese movie.

It is even more lively on IMBD.

"A commercial film, a traversing drama, saving innocent people from the water and fire, by the way, talk about Fengyue, so old-fashioned, such a system, why can it be so touching?"-9 points.

"I went to see it with Kirill last night. The only question after reading it was where did the real Xiao En go?"-10 points.

"It's pretty! If possible, I hope a Captain Li Xu can go to the parallel world to save the two trains. To find the truth for those eight minutes!"-10 points.

"Whenever I remember that in another time and space, I and you may have a completely different story, I am relieved that you and I have missed."-10 points, it turns out that Americans also have this kind of literary style. .

"Let me lie on the ground in quantum theory for a while."-9 points.

"Typical circular algorithm... Chinese directors know a lot."-6 points.

"The anti-terrorism version of "Butterfly Effect" is a bit romantic and a bit of life meaning. Unfortunately, the two actors are not professional at all. The kiss scene is a fake."-7 points, this can be called insight brother.

"I'm very happy that Chinese directors can also make such a good movie. I thought it was a show of Chinese kung fu again."-10 points.

"That comedian looks very distinctive."-9 points.

"I have seen "Buried Alive" and "Source Code" again. I feel like I am already a fan of Shao China. I bet he will come to Hollywood in the future!"-10 points.

"'Feifei, if there is only one minute left in life, what would you do?" Cry!"-10 points.

Driven by countless 10 points and 9 points, the rating of "Source Code" directly rushed to the height of 8.0. A science fiction film that can reach 8.0 is a global classic movie. Of course, the rating is only temporary, and it will fall down over time. It is estimated that it will eventually stay at about 7.8, which is still the rating of classic movies.

All of North America was conquered by "Source Code", and so was Asia.

"The "Source Code" of the young Chinese director Shao Shuaijun has topped the box office champion this week. This indicates that Chinese-language films have begun to recover, taking over the baton of Hong Kong films and beginning to regain the traditional Asian film market. In the future, it will definitely be. There are countless good movies in Chinese, which provide us with spiritual enjoyment." —Thailand "Singluo Daily".

""Source Code" overpowered "Love Magician" and became the top champion. The level of science fiction in Chinese films has reached such a high level. Where should Korean films go?" —Korea "Chosun Ilbo"

"The "Source Code" has become Singapore's highest-grossing film this year and the rise of Chinese-language films before the deadline."-"Singapore Morning Post"

"The latest masterpiece directed by Shao Shuaijun is coming to Malaysia, and the storm of "Source Code" is coming!"-Malaysiakini

"Deciphering Shao Shuaijun, the Chinese director's path to success from comedy to science fiction."-"Mainichi Shimbun", Japan

"Shao Shuaijun: I'm not just talking! "Source Code" blocked everyone's mouth!"-Hong Kong "Apple Daily"

"Hou Xiaoxian called on the authorities not to delay the release of "Source Code". Shao Shuaijun is also a director nominated for the Golden Horse Award!"-Baodao "United Daily News." In the previous film review, "Source Code" was stuck on the top of the treasure island, resulting in the inability to simultaneously release in Asia.

As the reputation of movies soared, the box office was also rising. Throughout the first week, North America alone won a box office of 20 million US dollars (16 million for three days on weekends, 20 million for the whole week, and a huge gap between US holidays and weekdays), and a total of 39 million yuan for overseas box offices in Asia, plus the mainland The total global box office is 29 million US dollars. According to the exchange rate of 8.28 at this time, it is about 240 million yuan.

Within a week, "Source Code" was back in its original form, and there was still a profit, and this was the first week's data.

By the second week, North America's momentum was not reduced much, and the weekend box office was 11 million. Although it failed to overtake "Translator", it also completed "Lianya". Shao Shuaijun made another success and won the two consecutive records of mainland directors in North America. Of course, no American blockbusters were released during this period, which made the source code a big bargain. The weekly box office runner-up with as little as 11 million US dollars is not a few times a year.

It was 13 million US dollars for the week, and the North American box office totaled 33 million US dollars.

Asian overseas box office, the second week accumulated 28 million yuan. In the second week of the mainland box office, a total of 31 million yuan.

In the past two weeks, the global box office totaled 50 million U.S. dollars for a total of 410 million yuan, which was startled.

In the third week, the source code declined somewhat. North America received only US$5.8 million, Asian overseas RMB 19 million, and Mainland China 21 million RMB. The global box office totaled 60.6 million US dollars, and the total RMB finally broke 500 million.

"The "Source Code" is going against the sky, and Shao Shuaijun's goal is Zhang Yimou's "Hero" 700 million box office. Whether it is the fifth-generation director to defend the dignity or the new generation director to surpass and become the king of the mainland and the pride of China, let us wait and see! "—— "Nandu Entertainment Weekly" did not hesitate to betray. It used to slander "Source Code", but now it immediately turned the wind and began to shamelessly flatter.

When I saw this newspaper, Shao Shuaijun was on his way to the Beijing University Student Film Festival. It was bought by Ning Hao. This time Ning Hao was also invited over.

"A Jun, you are amazing now. With the current momentum of "Source Code", there is still a long time to be released in North America, and it will not be a problem that it will eventually exceed 60 million US dollars. It is also very promising for Asia to win 50 million US dollars. Surpassing Zhang Yimou is just around the corner."
