Chapter 225: Ten Million Sellers (Five Watches)
With the increase in the number of moviegoers after the official large-scale release of the film, there are more and more reviews appearing on the Internet.
"What do you say, a sci-fi film starring Chinese, great? Really fake. ”
"I went to the movies with my girlfriend and happened to see the "Source Code" poster. My girlfriend said that the actor on the poster was very handsome, so she had to go in and watch it. I didn't expect it, but it turned out to be a surprise. This is a classic sci-fi production, is it really made by the Chinese? They have this level. ”
"I also read and heard that the actor is the director, he is only 20 years old this year, and he is still a financial genius who makes a net profit of 100 million US dollars a month, and he is very famous in Asia."
……
This movie is meant to be discussed, and not afraid to leak the plot, the more the plot is discussed, the more people will be interested in the movie. Then more people are willing to discuss and evaluate it. It's a virtuous circle and one of the key factors in Source Code's success in Asia. At the same time as the discussion, keywords such as "parallel world" and "source code world" were also repeatedly mentioned, arousing the curiosity of more people.
After all, this is a fertile ground for science fiction, if you talk to my sister about martial arts and light skills, they must go to see it as a magic movie. But when it comes to the concept of science fiction, it is much easier to understand.
Not only the Internet, but also the media have a lot of comments, "The New Yorker" commented: "The film tells the story of a dead man trying to save the metropolis of Shanghai from a nuclear disaster, full of suspense and beautifully made. As a Chinese-language film, it is really rare to build it with a limited production cost of no more than two million US dollars, and it can be called a classic horror science fiction work. ”
The Washington Post commented: "Source Code uses precision and careful plot to convey to the world a belief not to forget the groundhog Phil effect and a toast to peace." A very surprising non-English sci-fi film, in a low-budget production, can be ranked in the top ten. ”
"This sci-fi film is a thriller that didn't particularly attract attention at first, but the film is really good, it's just enlightening." (San Francisco Chronicle review), "A very ingenious sci-fi thriller worthy of the audience. (Detroit News review), "An excellent foreign-language sci-fi film, a fast-paced, engaging sci-fi thriller, quite a "groundhog Phil" predicting spring. (Denver Post), "In Source Code, thinking is the best action, a work of anti-standard action movies. (The New York Times), "Source Code has always been puzzling, even suspicious, and the director, screenwriter and actors don't know exactly what they're playing, but that's how the film makes people want to stop." (Boston Globe review), "A very good film that occasionally raises the pulse and heartbeat of the audience." (National Public Radio) review......
"New York Daily News" also commented on Hu Yifei himself: "This is a gorgeous performance by a young Chinese director, he will be stiff sci-fi, become touching, and there will be more opportunities for him to show his strength in the future." The important thing is that the director and star actor is only 20 years old this year, this is his third film work, and it has achieved very good box office success in Asia. Not only that, but he is also a financial genius, once had an astonishing record of netting $130 million a month. ”
"Net $100 million a month? 20 years old? Just kidding. The Wall Street kids are going to cry. ”
Many people are skeptical, and some people go out of their way to Google the Internet.
I don't know if I don't search, and I'm shocked when I search. The young director is really high-profile, and even posted a screenshot of his golden operation, and the long list of numbers shows that it has become the best proof.
"Wow, I'm shocked to see a financial awesome." An admiring netizen reposted several screenshots of Hu Yifei's operations on Facebook and posted them on several well-known forums of his usual activities, which immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"It's a long list of zeros, all of them are profit lists...... "Really fake? It can't be PS. "Absolutely real, I know this person, he is a big star in Asia, and he also directed and acted in a TV series "Prison Break" that is about to be released on CBS, super good-looking, I am ready to follow the drama. ”……
These screenshots of the operation of showing off the wealth have been spread more and more widely, and several websites have reprinted the news. It made Hu Yifei in the form of this alternative Internet celebrity once again become popular in a foreign land.
Hu Yifei and others have not done nothing, and paper media can't do it, but they can make a lot of difference on the Internet. They have already learned a lot of experience in the promotion of "Prison Break". It can give a boost, saliva publicity.
Although Warner Bros.'s promotion of "Source Code" is still tepid because of so much publicity expenses, with the increase in the number of people who see the film, the reputation of "Source Code" in the audience has begun to slowly ferment, and also thanks to Hu Yifei's unexpected exposure, although the box office on weekdays has not exploded, but every day has shown a slow upward trend, and the box office figures of "Source Code" have finally increased significantly.
The latest film data summary was also fed back to Hu Yifei by Min Suyuan in a timely manner.
On Wednesday, the average attendance was 19 percent, and the single-day box office was $1.1 million.
On Thursday, the average attendance rate was 25%, and the total box office in a single day was $1.31 million.
It's just that the fame and appeal of "Source Code" from the director to the actors are not enough, and there is the inherent disadvantage of Chinese films, and the publicity is limited, resulting in many people not knowing this movie at all.
However, as we entered the weekend, the situation seemed to have changed, and the number of moviegoers in some of the cinemas that had already been screened had nearly doubled compared to yesterday, and the number of moviegoers had skyrocketed.
"Hey man, three tickets for Source Code......"
"Sorry, we don't show Source Code."
"Shet."
But there are many movie theaters, they have already experienced, and a group of students immediately changed places, ""Source Code", there are no three sheets. ”
"Yes, a lot!"
Night is coming, and more and more people are entering the theater.
"Source Code, two."
"Source Code, one sheet."
Source Code ......
The ticket seller, who has been busy, suddenly found that the number of people buying tickets for "Source Code" is increasing, and even surpasses "Supreme Bourne", which occupies 3 theaters.
After a few days of hard work, the overwhelming audience reputation of "Source Code" finally took effect, and on Friday night, from New York to Los Angeles, from Seattle to Nashville, 500 theaters were almost twice or even three on Thursday, and many people even came to the theater in droves to see "Source Code" by name!
5oo theaters, in three days over the weekend, "Source Code" got $6.58 million, not only successfully entered the top ten at the box office, but also ranked sixth with a large number of large investment films. In the week since the film was released in North America, it has received a total of 9.89 million US dollars, almost breaking 10 million.
At this time, even if God descended, it could not stop Warner Bros. from expanding the scale of publicity and screening again to reap more benefits. (To be continued.) )
