"Citizen Kane" is the screen debut of the talented director Orson Welles at the age of 26. Released in 1941, this film is widely regarded as the greatest film in the history of cinema, and is regarded as the "greatest film in the history of cinema" in almost all professional film lists. Of course, the so-called rankings are all opinions, but this does not prevent this film from becoming one of the most important films in film history.

"Citizen Kane" is a rich and philosophical biographical film. The film opens with the death of a newspaper tycoon, Kane, and witnesses a complex truth under the myth of capitalism through his life experience and the rise and fall of his career. Both in terms of content and form, it embodies a unique novelty because it is regarded as a landmark work.

Like "Citizen Kane", "Social Network" is also a biographical film, which also reflects the characteristics of this era and has become a sketch of the times, and Lee Joon-yi is known as the "Citizen Kane" of the 21st century, which is enough to see that professional film critics respect this film and Lee Joon-yi.

In this applause, "social networks" have become a popular candidate for the awards season and even the Academy Awards, and Lee Joon-yi has once again carried the power of "social networks" and became the top seed for the actor after being shortlisted for the actor candidate last year.

Not long ago, "Inception" swept the word of mouth of film critics, and now, "social networks" have a faint momentum of overtaking the former in word of mouth, which is surprising. In the general direction, both films are high-IQ films, "Inception" builds a new world, and "Social Network" presents the high-end terminology of the IT industry for everyone, and it is definitely a film that requires mental work to appreciate its essence.

But in terms of details, the reputation of "Inception" comes more from Christopher Nolan's whimsy and the magic of the film's frame structure, while the reputation of "Social Network" comes from David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's way of telling the story, and from Lee Joon-yi's outstanding performance. In short, if it were to compete for the awards, Inception would have the technical advantage, while The Social Network would have a slight lead in the main categories.

This can be seen as a contest between Christopher Nolan and David Fincher, and it can also be seen as Lee Joon-yi's own and his own competition.

Numerous reviews have set off a frenzy of positive reviews for "social networks", and in terms of statistics, the good reputation of "social networks" is also obvious.

So far, the comprehensive score of 43 media outlets for the movie has reached 97 points, surpassing "Inception" and becoming the film with the best reputation in the media this year. And this score has also created a history, from 2000 to the present ten years, there are only 17 movies with a comprehensive media score of more than 90 points, excluding the animation side, there are only 12 live-action movies. And the score of "Social Network" is second only to "Pan's Labyrinth", which is second on this list. Thirty of the forty-three media outlets gave a perfect score of 100 points, which also broke the record of "Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" that year. In addition, the Rotten Tomatoes website has a freshness rating of 97%, surpassing the 96% of "Inception", overwhelmingly leading this year's word-of-mouth list among film critics.

Looking back, the "Bomb Disposal Unit", which made a big splash at the Oscars this year, had a comprehensive media score of 94 points; the film "Scarlet Black Gold" that made Daniel Day Lewis win the Oscar for Best Actor was scored 92 points, and the "queen" that allowed Helen Mirren to win N actresses including the Oscars all the way was 91 points. Today, the "social network" has scored 97 points, and everyone knows what this should mean. That's right, "The Social Network" will be the superseed for next year's Oscars.

Among the audience, IMDB's rating is slightly less coquettish, with a score of 9.0 behind Inception's 9.3 points. After two months of accumulation, the final rating of "Inception" fell from 9.4 to 9.3, ranking fourth in the IMDB list for "The Shawshank Redemption" and two "Godfather" movies. And the score of 9.0 in "Social Network" also squeezed into the top 30 in this list, and the results are still very gratifying.

To put it simply, the media and the audience just praised the "social network" from head to toe, and together with "Inception", set off the hottest storm of summer. It's already September, but I think it's the end of summer.

Carrying the power of "social network", Lee Joon-yi surpassed Johnny Depp for the fourth time without any surprise and became the champion of the IMDB actor list. This time, the seizure of power is very solid. Lee Joon-yi has stayed on the championship throne and still shows no signs of decline until November, but it remains to be seen whether this situation can be maintained until the end of the year and make Lee Joon-yi the year-end champion of the IMDB actor rankings.

There is no doubt that today's Lee Joon-yi, not only among the new generation of actors, but also among all actors, is the undisputed top spot, and he is in the limelight for a while.

In the acclaim of this film, "Social Network" did not disappoint in terms of box office results, although it is not as good as the box office machine of "Inception", but "Social Network", which only invested 50 million US dollars, still showed strong competitiveness at the box office.

The summer season has just ended, and there is still a period of time left for Halloween and Christmas, and the recent film market is a little quieter. In the pre- and post-release schedule of "Social Networks", the only slightly more competitive is Ben Affleck's "Thieves in the City", which also invited Blake Lively, who has been in the limelight for nearly two years, to join, the film was released three weeks ago, and the cumulative box office has approached $70 million. In addition, films such as the cartoon "The Legend of the Guardian", "Wall Street 2", which was reprimanded for being too professional, and "Gossip Project", which has achieved a good reputation, have become competitors to "social networks". Of the films released at the same time, there were only two horror films that could not pose a threat to the "social network", and no films that stood out too much came into view for two or three weeks after that.

It can be said that the competition faced by the "social network" is not fierce, and only the "big thief in the city" is worth mentioning. In this context, it is not surprising that the word-of-mouth swept "social network" has achieved excellent results at the box office.

The number of premiere theaters of less than 3,000 is really not much, and it can only be regarded as a medium-sized screening. But "The Social Network" achieved $30 million in its first weekend of release, and the box office of a single theater far exceeded 10,000, easily landing at the top of the North American box office charts this week.

30 million US dollars, compared with box office giants such as "Lunar Eclipse" and "Inception", it is naturally incomparable. However, it should be noted that the "social network" itself is an Olympic bid movie for the Oscars, and the literary and artistic nature overshadows the commerciality. Therefore, the first-week box office of "The Social Network" still far exceeded the expectations of the media, and became David Fincher's best-grossing film in the first week.

Along with the word-of-mouth storm after the premiere, in the second week, the number of theaters screened on the "social network" increased by more than 300, bringing the number of theaters screened to more than 3,000. This week, "Social Network" continued its efforts, with a box office drop of just 10%, winning $30 million in the second consecutive weekend, and re-eoning to top the North American box office charts this week, accumulating $70 million in two weeks.

In the face of poor competitors and rave reviews for the film itself, "The Social Network" achieved three consecutive tops at the North American weekly box office charts, and then stayed in the runner-up position for two weeks, which is a remarkable achievement. In the end, the cumulative box office of "The Social Network" in North America successfully exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the final box office result of 140 million successfully made it a high-quality film that won both word-of-mouth box office and box office.

At the same time, around the world, the power of the combination of Facebook and Lee Joon-yi began to show, and the box office was popular across the board, which made Columbia Pictures smile. The "social network" has won at least one week in 14 countries, including China, Japan, South Korea, the United Kingdom, France, and Italy, which is really rare for a film that wins with art.

In the end, "The Social Network" achieved a box office of $180 million in the world excluding North America, and the cumulative global box office exceeded $300 million, and the final figure was $320 million. The use of the word "actually" here is enough to prove everyone's surprise. Word-of-mouth belongs to word-of-mouth, but the box office of "social networks" is actually not optimistic, and the media and experts predict that the box office of "social networks" with a comprehensive victory of word-of-mouth can exceed 150 million is a big victory. In fact, the box office performance of "Social Network" not only reached this number, but also doubled "nonsense", which made everyone stunned, and could only sigh: The earthlings can't stop Li Zhunyi anymore.

Last year, "The Hangover" became a dark horse at the year-end box office, and the profitability of "500 Days with Shamo" and "Single Man" also fell below many people's glasses; this year, although the box office of "Social Network" is the lowest among the three works currently released by Lee Joon-yi, compared with last year's "500 Days with Shamo" and "Single Man", two films that focus on art, "Social Network" has won an unexpected big victory at the box office, which is definitely a breakthrough.

This also marks that Lee Joon-yi has officially become a top actor in box office appeal, not only in commercial films, but also in literary films, Lee Joon-yi also has a strong appeal, attracting audiences into the theater. To exaggerate, it is a commercial art kill, which is undoubtedly another amazing achievement of Lee Joon-yi's career as an actor.

Indeed, the earthlings can't stop Li Zhunyi anymore.
