Han Yi and Li Xiaolong were originally worried that the box office of the movie would drop in the later stage, but after a few sue them, this worry is superfluous.

Although "Eternal Life" does have some of its own shortcomings, it cannot be denied that there are still many people in this world who like to watch this kind of soft sci-fi.

"The pseudo-science film shows the charm of the script, its success is inevitable, it is a miracle!"

"Personally, the audience of this movie must be divided into two extremes, one is super like it, and the other is super hateful. The whole film is a single scene, with familiar actors' faces and long dialogue shots, highlights in terms of photography, color, and actors' personalities, which are generally unsatisfactory, and the whole atmosphere is also dull, which may be the reason why many people are confused and disgusted with this film. ”

However, the charm of the film's lines enhances the atmosphere of the whole story: mysterious, questioning, unreal, and a touch of absurdity. One of the lines of the charismatic expression of the performance has become a weapon to support the spirit of the film. From the protagonist John's inadvertently leading to the reason why he wants to quit his job to travel, to the doubts of his friends, to the questioning of the psychology professor, there is no shortage of highs and lows required for the film. Friends' explanations of John drifted between believing and not believing it, until finally John said that it was just a game, and it seemed that the film was over, and the high tide was gone. ”

From the day after the release, American film critics were very busy, and there was no way that the publicity and impact of this film were too great.

Now there are many screenwriters staring at this movie, hoping that Han Yi can still create a miracle in the creation of zào, a miracle that belongs to the screenwriter, so that they can also have more say.

"Han Yi, this magical director from the East, he once again proved his magic to us with the script, from "Buried Alive" to the current "Immortal", he is magical!"

"The greatness of the screenwriter, the achievement of the script, the myth of the creation of zào for ten thousand dollars!"

"The story is very fascinating, the screenwriting is amazing, a brief history of human development, the history of religion, and the history of art, which are very interesting. Generally, such a single scene and limited characters are filmed in suspense dramas, and it is hard to imagine that they can be made into science fiction films! ”

"Now it seems that to be able to write such a brain-consuming script, only this magical Great Eastern director can't! The whole film has only two places, indoor and outdoor, but it spans 14,000 years of world history, including geography, religion, philosophy and biology. Told in a narrative way, the storyline is fascinating, a living God, what a work of God, I am ashamed of myself! ”

"Tell a story with a script, a new paradigm for future cinema!"

"After watching this film, it is creating a new genre of cinema: I call it a "new paradigm of cinema". Its characteristics are: small cost, big ideas, connotation, and audience. Good things never depend on advertising, but naturally have word of mouth - this is the first characteristic of a good movie, and this is exactly what the film does. It seems that the previous live burial was the same, oh my God, a genius was born. ”

……

"It's, I didn't expect American journalists to be so! It seems that as long as you are a journalist, you are the same! Han Yi looked at the newspapers Qi Ming gave him, and said speechlessly.

There are some people who have already described him as a peerless genius, a rare occurrence in a hundred years, and Han Yi thinks that he is really a genius, of course, there are also some people who write very hard.

But Han Yi understands that, as written in the newspaper, the reputation of this movie only has two directions, one is very good, and the other is a huge difference, so he has no psychological imbalance.

"What is the total box office this week?"

"Thirty-two million!"

"Uh, how can there be so many?" Han Yi was a little surprised, if you look at the box office in the first two days, the average day is less than four million, and it shouldn't exceed 30 million in the next seven days.

Although this algorithm is a bit capricious, it still makes sense here, after all, the box office of general movies is decreasing, of course, the weekend of the premiere is not counted, because it is a weekend, so it will rise somewhat.

"According to Lionsgate's investigation, are there any repeat customers?"

"Repeat customer! Well, you're a new word! Han Yi shook his head helplessly, he found that Qi Ming was also quite humorous.

That's right, this movie did have a lot of "repeat customers" in the next few days, just watched it once, and they really didn't understand it all.

………… A small town in the eastern United States......

"Oh, Carter, why are you here again, I remember you've seen this movie twice!" The conductor looked at the familiar guy in front of him and asked curiously.

"Yes, actually I'm already the fourth time, I have to see it, I really like it, but there are still some things that I haven't understood, I have to look again, I don't believe that anyone can live forever, I have to find the flaws in it."

"Oh man, you actually thought he was immortal when you said that, didn't you?"

Hearing this, Carter originally refuted it, but when he thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case, so he could only say helplessly:

"Maybe you're right, but ......"

"Okay, I see, here's your ticket! Maybe that magical Oriental man should thank you, you contributed a lot to the box office. ”

"It's a must!"

…………

Seeing that the North American box office of "Eternal Death" is so hot, now Han Yi and others are more looking forward to its release in China and are more confident.

Domestic fans are waiting for the flowers, unlike the United States, the stars in "Eternal Life" can be regarded as domestic first-class stars, and they have a lot of fans.

When the news of the release of "Eternal Death" in North America reached China, the media stopped doing it, the fans stopped doing it, and even the screenwriter industry stopped doing it. Isn't that bullying? A good domestic movie, which didn't premiere in its own country, went to be released abroad, and looked down on people, right? All of a sudden, all kinds of rumors spread all over the sky, and some so-called experts also jumped out and said their opinions one by one.

In this way, this movie has been hyped to a fever again, especially the exaggerated first-week box office in North America, domestic directors are still working hard to fight domestic and foreign films, Han Yi's movie directly crossed to the United States, and the American film started, I am very excited to think about it, and everyone is looking forward to Han Yi's movie even more.

On New Year's Day, "Eternal Life and Immortality" premiered in China, and Han Yi, the director, did not go to the premiere ceremony, but the other actors went a lot, Deng Chao, Su Chang and Bady also went, and by the way, they gave Han Yi's new movie a small promotion, so as not to let everyone forget that Han Yi also has a new movie.

On the second day after the release of "Eternal Life", newspapers and magazines, large and small, and online media began to give their own film reviews.

"Watching Movie Magazine", which has always been known for its business, even used such a headline "A teenager brings us enlightenment, science fiction is not equal to stunts!" The whole article is full of enthusiastic praise for "Eternal Death".

“…… The pace and atmosphere of the film are comfortable, and the entire plot of the film is born in a small living room, and it all depends on the dialogue between the characters. The shooting technique is very innovative, there are no ups and downs and suspenseful plots, there is no love that goes through life and death, there are no hot and dizzying special effects, some are just a few people sitting in the living room, facing all kinds of questions and answers, art, religion, history, geography, calmly, eloquently, it is a clash of ideas.

For an hour and a half, always keep the tension through. The right music, the right love, the right loneliness, the right cleverness!

It is appropriate to describe this movie with blandness, in the film Han Yi did not deliberately play with any personal talent, at first glance, it looks like the debut of a student who has just graduated from the directing department, but if you look closely, it is full of the talent of this genius director, whether it is a well-conceived plot, or a special and innovative shooting method, all reflect the talent of this young director, someone is born with extraordinary talent, there is no doubt that Han Yi is such a genius! ”

"I have always believed that science fiction films are just a reconstruction of time and space, and the part involving history is blurred as a point in time and space. However, it was only after watching "Eternal Life" last night that I truly realized history as fresh material for film creation, and its reconstruction is better than "time and space", and this point seems to exist only in Western film creation.

Cinema comes from the imagination of history, which is not strictly structural, but decorative. The biggest selling point of commercial films created with history as material is not to restore, but to reconstruct history. There are many movies that are similar to this process, such as "The Da Vinci Code", another masterpiece of historical suspense.

The bland ending of the movie "Eternal Life" brings the story back to reality, and perhaps director Han Yi uses such decorative behavior to make the film's reconstruction of history not become so terrifying. And so it engages the audience and resonates. - World Cinema

Compared with business magazines such as "Watching Movies", the views of the famous magazine "World Cinema" are more practical and professional, but they also unexpectedly praised Han Yi.

"A lot of science fiction movies are based on time. The historical issues in it are either ignored as a node in time and space, or retained as a fragment of time and space. In the narration of history, the protagonist of the film completes the passage of time and space, and the historical questioning lies in the adjustment and reconstruction process from one time and space fragment to an infinite number of time and space segments.

An ideological innovation that has had an important impact on mankind must be a product of the times, answering the urgent questions of the time and solving the puzzles that people have been unable to get rid of for a long time.

Perhaps this is the biggest inspiration that "Eternal Lives" has given us.

He may not have too gorgeous camera switches, no dazzling stunts, and no moving movies, but it is such a movie, but it makes people have a deep feeling of thought after watching it! -- China News Weekly

"Explain the world in a way you never thought of, and then squeeze it with a snap, and return to reality, but leave a mysterious smile in the look back that sends you out. There has never been a shortage of audiences for this kind of theme, and in blandness and fantasy, the vast majority of people would rather choose the latter, regardless of whether it is true or not. Never tired of dabbling in the story of the mysterious label!

Han Yi's story, at first glance, seems to be an action to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep, with the name of a sci-fi blockbuster, but it does not have any of the characteristics of previous sci-fi blockbusters.

Science fiction is not a science and technology film, science fiction is science fiction, with the popularity of Hollywood blockbusters, more and more people agree with Hollywood-style blockbusters, but they forget that science fiction films originally originated from science and technology fantasy, technology is just a means of embodiment of such fantasy, not all of science fiction, this magical young director uses such a technique to awaken people's initial cognition of science fiction with such a film, and it is also a tribute to the predecessors who shot science fiction films! -- Star Weekly

“…… Han Yi didn't use any stunts, but it completely subverted our previous views on science fiction movies, this 'science fiction blockbuster' that looks out of the way seems to be the right way, and the blockbuster model that is now popular in China to learn from Hollywood is completely different from the movie model, the essence of the movie is not to pile it up with money, but to use heart! -- China Television News

There are good reviews and bad reviews, and there are also some bad comments in some newspapers, but this is also expected by Han Yi.

One media outlet wrote, "Ignorant directors, cheating movies!" ”

"It purely depends on the curiosity of the filmmaker, and this curiosity is not maintained by the subtlety of the script, but only by the very first idea, which is the same as why everyone likes to read the unsolved mysteries of the world, UFO This kind of book, so the script of this film is actually at an average level."

“…… Some places are handled very nonsensically, such as the protagonist telling the truth so lightly at the beginning, such as the abrupt drama ending at the end of the film, this film is an "idea film", it is not so good at all, some people even say that this is one of the best science fiction films, it's just a cheat. Some people even say that this film is so philosophical and that deep, can we not pretend. ”

Of course, most of the bad reviews appear on the Internet, because the Internet is originally a virtual place that allows you to spray people at will, and this is how the so-called trolls come about.

"What a garbage thing, cheating Lao Tzu out of money!"

"I don't know the so-called clouds and fog, I'm quite speechless!"

"What a disappointment!"

Under such two completely different contradictory views, the curiosity of most viewers was aroused and they went to the cinema to watch it.

At the same time, the number of the daily box office of "Eternal Life" was also sent to Han Yi. (To be continued.) )
