Chapter 107: China and the United States... Simultaneous release (17/27 reward plus update)

Li Rengang...

UFO Hat Beloved...

Why do all his movies have flying saucer caps?

Because he loves it!

This is called the director's personal aesthetic!

It's like my favorite Matsushima-sensei's art films, but some people think that vegetables and farming are the gods now...

It's hard to say!

Why is he so idiotic about history?

This should be analyzed in the big context: it's not that he is an idiot with historical knowledge, it's that most Hong Kong and Taiwan directors know little about Chinese history!

They lack reverence for history!

Lao Li's "Black Man" is very good, "tragic, romantic, beautiful" are the three key words of his film, he thinks, grasp this and catch all...

A person who can make the delicacies of the mountains and seas, dragon liver and phoenix pith into a messy stew.

List a few words at will, Wu Jing, Mount Everest, every inch of land must be contested, the country is strong, choose one of these words at random, he can still use his years of exquisite skills to successfully avoid all the correct options, and shoot a "Everest Love" for you!

Awesome!

......

The trailer for Source Code is incredibly simple – and of course, the story of the source code itself is simple...

In the first picture, the dialogue between Lu Liang played by Lu Xiaoran and Wan Fang played by Wan Qian:

"I'm Wan Fang. Please reply if you receive it. ”

"Where am I now?"

"We'll explain to you later, you need to go into the previous clip and find the bomber. ”

In the second section, Lu Xiaoran returned to the train again, experienced the same thing, and then the train exploded...

"What the hell is going on? I need an explanation to complete this mission!"

At this moment, a man on crutches was inserted from the screen, although he was not wearing a military uniform, but apparently a military technologist.

"In the human brain, there is a memory interval called source code, which can store memory fragments for about 8 minutes. ’

"This morning, on a train bound for Shanghai, there was an explosion that killed the entire train. ”

"So we extracted the memories from the brain fragments of the victims and used them to reconstruct the events between the explosions. ”

"We inject this episode into your memory and want you to find the perpetrator!"

"And now that the explosion has happened, what's the use of you finding him?"

"Because he's planning a bigger explosion in Shanghai, and we have to find him before that. ”

"Your efforts will save thousands of lives!"

In the third paragraph, Lu Xiaoran returned to the train and asked Liu Yifei: "If you only have the last eight minutes left in your life, what will you do?"

"I'm going to cherish every second of the moment!"

And then there's the kissing...

As soon as the screen goes black, the trailer ends...

After watching the trailer, many people expressed their anticipation, because the special effects of the explosion were so real!

Of course, they also want to see the whole story ...

The purpose of the so-called trailer is to arouse the audience's desire to watch the movie, and you can't show everything.

Not only Lu Xiaoran's fans are interested in "Source Code", but also many industry insiders.

For example, Zhang Xiaobei, he is an authentic sci-fi fan and film critic.

"Source Code" was released nationwide at 9 a.m. on the 11th, and he bought a ticket from Orange Ticketing - 39.9, and then prepared to go to the nearest Wanda Studios...

The phone rang, and it was a Weibo push message.

People with obsessive-compulsive disorder must ensure that their mobile phones do not have a red dot!

He clicked on it and took a look, it was Lu Xiaoran's Weibo: ""Source Code" is shot with 3D photography equipment, but many of our cinema equipment is relatively old, it is not recommended that everyone choose 3D mode, there are conditions to watch 3D, there are no conditions, choose 2D mode, we used two sets of equipment when shooting, and the 2D mode is not bad!"

Zhang Xiaobei smiled...

This is what he admires most about Lu Xiaoran and oranges, honest enough!

I heard that "Painted Skin 2", it was he who tried his best to dissuade it, so he didn't transform it all into pseudo-3D...

......

"Source Code" has been released in both China and the United States.

In North America, Universal watched the complete movie and felt that it should have a box office volume of 20 million US dollars, bought out the North American rights for 18 million US dollars, arranged for the release on November 9, and gave 1,200 theaters to open the film.

The $18 million copyright is not only the box office account, but also the offline DVD discs, including TV rights...

Otherwise, wouldn't the $15 million copyright of "Ambush on All Sides" be lost - "Ambush on All Sides" grossed $11.05 million at the North American box office...

Back to "Source Code", 1,200 theaters opened, and the box office on the first day was $1.7 million...

This achievement...

It's ok, it's not a weekend, November 9th is a Wednesday!

$1.7 million is enough to rank in the top 10 of the single day, after all, only 1,200 theaters have opened paintings, and with global influence, it can only be regarded as a small volume!

Moreover, the film has received wide praise from the media and audiences, with a 90% praise rate on the Rotten Tomatoes website and an IMDB score of 8.0.

Professional predictions can get at least $30 million at the box office!

These news, oranges are not embarrassed to take out to promote - breaking a million dollars in a single day?

Is it awesome?

Speaking of reviews alone, what are 'rave reviews', 'IMDb rating 8.0!', 'predicted to reach $30 million...'

In short, Source Code seems to have conquered North America!

Propaganda, of course, you have to pick up the place where you can blow,

You see that "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" is in North America, obviously only 3 theaters will be released, and it will also be released simultaneously in China and the United States!

......

Zhang Xiaobei was queuing, and at the same time, on the other side of Beijing, Xingmei Cinema.

In the morning, there should have been a sparse flow of passengers, but today it is a little different, with three layers inside and three layers outside, which scared the waiting audience into a daze.

"Are there any celebrities coming?"

React immediately...

Then I felt that it was wrong, the roadshow of "Source Code" started in Shanghai and ended in Beijing...

When I was confused, I heard a chaotic footsteps not far away, and the warblers and Yanyan's were all girls, and there were about more than 100 numbers.

"Damn!

"Liu Shishi!"

"Tang Yixin!"

“... Jiao Junyan!"

"Wang Luodan..."

If it weren't for the security guards, a bunch of people would have rushed up to ask for autographs.

It's very simple, today the sugar boss chartered the venue and invited all the employees of the company to watch the film.

As for Wang Luodan, it's all about joining in the fun...

can't be regarded as joining in the fun, she also looks at what this so-called China's first conceptual sci-fi movie is!

In order to avoid the suspicion of hype, a group of people kept a low profile and did not inform the media at all...

Of course, netizens secretly take pictures, post Weibo or something, it is not something she can control.

There's no need to hide it, it's not that you can't see people!

Entering the screening room, Liu Shishi sat next to her, holding popcorn in his hand: "Eh, when will the movie you said be made?"

"What movie?"

"Just the movie you said the other day that asked Mr. Lu to write the script..."

“... Oh, I've already told him, and the script is out, and you'll come home with me later, and I'll show it to you!"

"Okay, then I'll push "The Next Miracle"..."

Sugar Candy asked curiously, "The Next Miracle?"

"Sister Cai picked it up for me, I didn't read the script..."

"Your popularity is high now, don't take on bad scenes casually, it will affect the reputation of the actors!"

"I know... The movie begins!"
