Director’s Legend

0072 【King of the Mainland】

"This sci-fi thriller doesn't start out particularly well, but it's so good it's mind-blowing." - San Francisco Chronicle

"'Source Code' has always been puzzling, even suspicious, with directors, writers and actors who have no idea what they're doing, but that's just how addictive it is." --Boston Globe

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

""Source Code" conveys to the world with a precise and cautious plot, don't forget the Phil effect of the groundhog and the belief in a toast to peace." - "Washington Post"

In a week when box office successes were frequent, on the Rotten Tomatoes website, there were a total of 197 film critics' ratings, 177 votes for red tomatoes, and 20 votes for green vegetables. The freshness of the website was 90%, which was 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. They did not make random bad reviews just because this is a Chinese movie.

It is even more lively on imbd.

"A typical looping algorithm... Chinese directors know a lot." - 6 points.

"'Feifei, what would you do if you only had one minute left in your life?' Cried!" - 10 points.

Driven by countless 10 points and 9 points, the score 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 definitely drop as time goes by. It is estimated that it can stay at around 7.8 in the end, which is still the rating of a classic movie.

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

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

"Director Shao Shuaijun's latest masterpiece, coming to Malaysia, "Source Code" storm hit!" ——Malaysia Today

"Deciphering Shao Shuaijun, the successful path of Chinese directors from comedy to science fiction." ——Riben "Daily News"

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

"Hou Xiaoxian appeals to 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 by the peak of Baodao, which made it unable to be released simultaneously in Asia.

As word-of-mouth of the movie has soared, the box office is also rising steadily. 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, there is a huge difference between the box office of American holiday ri and work ri), and the Asian overseas box office totaled 39 million yuan, plus The 41 million yuan in the mainland, the total global box office is 29 million US dollars, according to the exchange rate of 8.28 at that time, it is about 240 million yuan.

Within a week, "Source Code" had paid back its capital and made a profit, and this is the data of the first week.

In the second week, the momentum in North America was not reduced much, and the weekend box office was 11 million. Although it failed to overtake "The Translator", it also completed "Lian Ya". Shao Shuaijun made another victory and won two consecutive Asian records for mainland directors in North America. Of course, during this period, there were no major U.S. releases, which allowed Source Code to take advantage of it. The weekly box office runner-up with such a small amount of 11 million US dollars is not a few times a year.

The whole week is 13 million US dollars, and the North American box office has accumulated 33 million US dollars.

Overseas box office in Asia, accumulated 28 million RMB in the second week. In the second week of the mainland box office, the cumulative total was 31 million RMB.

In the past two weeks, the global box office has accumulated 50 million U.S. dollars, totaling 410 million yuan, which shocked everyone's eyes.

In the third week, the source code declined a bit. North America only received 5.8 million US dollars, overseas Asia 19 million yuan, and mainland China 21 million yuan. The global box office has accumulated a total of 60.6 million US dollars, and the total RMB has finally broken through 500 million.

""Source Code" is against the sky, Shao Shuaijun's goal is Zhang Yimou's "Hero" 700 million box office, whether it is the fifth generation of directors to defend the dignity, or the new generation of directors to complete the transcendence, become the king of the mainland, the pride of China, let us wait and see! "——"Southern Metropolis Entertainment Weekly" did not hesitate to betray, previously bad-mouthing "Source Code", but now it immediately changed its direction and began to flatter it shamelessly.

When he saw this newspaper, Shao Shuaijun was on his way to the Beijing College Student Film Festival, and it was Ning Hao who bought it. This time Ning Hao was also invited over.

"Ah Jun, you are in for a treat now. With the current momentum of "Source Code", it will take a long time for it to be released in North America. It will not be a problem to break through 60 million U.S. dollars in the end. It is also very hopeful that Asia will win 50 million U.S. dollars. , Surpassing Zhang Yimou is just around the corner."
