Having learned the lesson of "Ambush on All Sides", the family film industry did not dare to promote it rampantly. Anyway, the preparations have been completed, and now it's just a matter of collecting the audience's follow-up reactions and dealing with emergencies.

Hu Yifei updated his Facebook early in the morning, with only one picture and one sentence: "Everyone is welcome to advise!" "The picture is a poster for Source Code!

In Beijing, Jingcheng TV cooperated with the family film industry and began to follow up and interview near the theater.

The reporter stopped a beautiful woman who looked very intellectual and interviewed on the spot. The beauty is also very polite: "From Hu Yifei's debut to the present, I have never liked this person, the comments he has made and the talk shows he has participated in have made people feel that this person is too proud, I admit that I am jealous, but even so, I still don't like him." It's just that what I don't like is his people, what I like is his works, and there aren't too many people to watch Chinese movies. Now I can't even watch Zhang Yimou's movie, and there is only one Hu Yifei. From "Source Code" to "The Big Exercise", from "Full House" to "Prison Break", they are all classics. I hope Source Code doesn't disappoint me this time. ”

"Support Hu Yifei, I like Mi Shuai so much! I think he is simply a talented person, and he is even a little genius in the Chinese film and television industry, especially good at innovation. Maybe he is a little arrogant, but after all, he is young, who is not young and frivolous, and if anyone can do a better job than him, I am afraid that he will be even more arrogant. Everyone should understand more. ”

"I am a loyal Mi Shuai fan, after watching "Ambush on All Sides", I found that he is even more handsome, and I can't wait to watch the movie."

……

"Hello, may I ask which one to watch?"

The conductor of the Chinese Film Star Art Cinema Line is tired and has no smile on her face, even so, she is still using polite language, which is the only thing she can do.

"4 sheets of "Source Code", I want to sit together, the last two points, thank you."

The staff heard this, "I'm sorry, the two o'clock ones are sold out." Tickets are available after 9 p.m. ”

"What? It was sold out, is there any mistake! ”

On the first day of release, "Source Code" accounted for 35%, "Ambush on All Sides" accounted for more than 55%, and "Ambush on All Sides" still came first.

The conductor looked helpless, who would have thought that Zhang Yimou in front of him would pounce, Hu Yifei, who was released immediately behind him, and "Source Code", which was only hyped once at the film festival, became so popular. The number of films scheduled is too small, which directly leads to the situation of selling out in some popular places.

Many people went to the Internet to sue Hu Yifei, begging for more theater films.

As the distributor, China Film also did not expect it, judging from the current feedback, the attendance rate of "Source Code" is much higher than that of "Ambush on All Sides", and it is obvious that they have made another mistake.

The fans who didn't buy the tickets looked bitter, and the fans who got the tickets entered the screening room with a proud face, waiting for the start of "Source Code".

The screening room was packed, and everyone was continuing the conversation and happily discussing the source code. After a period of advertising, the movie was finally officially released.

Everyone finally stopped talking and began to take it seriously.

At the beginning of "Source Code", the narrative technique that is very different from that of domestic films, advanced shooting techniques and suspenseful superimposed plots have brought unexpected joy to countless domestic audiences. At this time, Feng Xiaogang was also watching a movie in the theater, and he watched it openly and without the slightest cover-up. Today, there was originally a filming task of "No Thieves in the World", but he was given a vacation.

The audience looks at interest, and he looks at professionalism. Because it is also a train scene, he will inevitably have to compare it so that he can have a bottom in his heart.

After watching "Source Code" at this time, although I feel that this movie is really suspenseful, it has taken root from the beginning and implanted in the hearts of the audience. The plot progresses very quickly, maybe he will feel that some details can be handled better, but if he really writes the script and lets him shoot it, he thinks that the overall effect of his shooting is definitely far inferior to Hu Yifei.

It's a movie theater in the middle of nowhere, and it's not the peak of the evening, and the attendance rate is still 70%. Maybe everyone is really suffering from Zhang Yimou's "Ambush on All Sides", otherwise why can't they wait to watch the movie at this point in time.

Like dominoes, the suspense is revealed layer after layer. It's like an onion, you have to peel off the skin piece by piece to see the core, and this is the status quo of this movie now.

"You're waiting for a train, and the train will take you far away, and you know where you're going, but can't be sure where the train is going to take you, but that's okay – because we'll be together forever."

If someone says martial arts movies, people think of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and then "Heroes", and there are many movies that can be compared. But as soon as Source Code appeared, it was able to make many people exclaim, surprise, surprise, because of its innovation.

This is really rare in China, "Crazy Stone", you can still see the traces of Hu Yifei's imitation of Guy Ritchie, "The Big Exercise" is actually not better than "Crazy Stone", but it is also innovative, dare to break through China's inherent concepts, play so many tricks in an exercise, and aim the spearhead at the official. Such a movie is sincere, which undoubtedly greatly satisfies the needs of the audience.

This "source code" is similarly innovative, but more radical. In addition to the train and bitter love, the whole movie is a bit of a race against time.

Repeated failures and trials, tormenting people's nerves and wills. Let's not talk about the sense of urgency, in order to make the audience like this painful story, Hu Yifei specially added a warm ending at the end. Then I thought that this was a snake to add to the words, and then in the end, there was a twist again, which gave countless people room to think.

When Feng Xiaogang saw this, he couldn't help but think, if it were him, how would he shoot it?

The answer is incomprehensible, he can't shoot this kind of thing.

It's not his style.

In other words, few people in Chinese-language films will make science fiction films, even if a few Hong Kong directors make Wesley's kind, it is nondescript and not science fiction.

Unlike Europeans, in Hollywood, the classic "Back to the Future" series, the hotly debated, multi-ending "Butterfly Effect", will all explain the fact that when the characters do everything possible to change or reverse something that has happened, all these conditions that want to change that event will create some consequences that are difficult to control. In the end, it is inevitable that what was the original will happen, or that reckless blind action will lead to catastrophic revenge.

The beginning and end settings of "Source Code" are very reminiscent of "Time Machine" and "Time and Space Clues" in the early years, which also go back to a certain period of time in the past, trying to redeem the facts that have already happened, exaggerating personal heroism, and catering to the audience's preferences. However, the latter two films will sacrifice some things to avoid the appearance of two protagonists, so as not to jump too much and produce parallel worlds, after all, the story of the film is still based on the real world, rather than setting things up and letting them go.

But Source Code gives a happy reunion, and everyone is fine.

At the end of the film, Hu Yifei's eyes changed color, and the whole world became a colorful line, composed of many 0s and 1s, which has been played in "The Matrix", and the implantation of this hard science fiction concept is not difficult to understand for domestic audiences.

Hu Yifei opened up a new world of source code, but he still felt unfinished, and he was full of appetite.

When Feng Xiaogang was still thinking about it, the movie came to an end, and the audience was still unsatisfied. At the end of the movie, the music resounded throughout the audience, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces. They talked to each other, walked out of the movie theater, and a few of them claimed that they didn't see it clearly and wanted to watch it again.

The people waiting outside couldn't wait to ask the people who had just come out, "How is it, is the movie good?" ”

"It's good-looking, it's good to see it's exploded. I don't mean how many big scenes there are, but the sci-fi structure. There are few such good-looking sci-fi films in China...... I can't tell, see for yourself. ”

"Okay, thanks buddy."

Feng Xiaogang put on his hat and walked out silently.

In his eyes, if you don't discuss parallel worlds, purely from a movie point of view, "Source Code" doesn't give too many highlights. The same shot paragraph, the special effects are the explosion scene, and the camera angle is changed at a time. Looking at it, the film is just an indoor scene with a few carriages and a few enclosed spaces.

If you want to talk about finding the murderer, the camera has already given an active hint, and there are close-ups, and many viewers guessed that it was that guy, including losing things or something, it was all an old story. Later, the captain didn't say a few words, and he burst into tears, which is really not a ruthless character. It's just that Hu Yifei is very smart, and he found an actor with an unfamiliar face for this role, so that everyone kept guessing.

Therefore, there is no ultimate boss in Source Code, and its contradiction is how the captain confirms his identity and how to distinguish the true from the fake. The content of the film is actually only eight minutes, but it is always in a loop, unhurried, and without a sense of urgency.

On the contrary, the biggest impact on the audience was the captain dying again and again. It's like someone throwing a hammer on your head, brutalizing you alive—it's not a good feeling to kill yourself.

Even at the end of the movie, "Source Code" is a bit of a promotion of the main theme, talking about truth, goodness and beauty. There is little criticism, only feelings. Everyone in the car laughed heartily, a sweet, frozen kiss.

Hu Yifei preaches human nature, believes in people so much, and hopes that they all end in a beautiful and decent way.

There are not many sci-fi films that domestic audiences are exposed to, and most viewers will not pay attention to parallel worlds, and chewing theories is always less direct than visual impact.

A kiss, a blast, they are more attractive than any theory.

Seeing that there were still audiences on the road who kept talking, laughing and waiting to watch the movie, all of them were going to "Source Code", Feng Xiaogang suddenly became a little jealous, he had been crawling for so many years, in fact, it was to this extent. picked up the phone and called Hu Yifei, "Little zei, the movie is not bad." ”

Hu Yifei, who was on the other side, received the phone call, slightly flustered, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. (To be continued.) )
