Chapter 341: Breaking 100 million in a single week

"If I were given another chance, I would say to her, 'Everything will be fine.'" If I had to add a deadline to this, I hope it wouldn't be 8 minutes. โ€

On Weibo, #ๆบไปฃ็ #่ฏ้ข˜็–ฏ็‹‚ๅˆทๅฑ็š„ๅŠฟๅคด, is unstoppable.

As soon as I opened the interface of Weibo, I saw the topic of the circle of friends, and two of the three contents were about the movie "Source Code".

"Domestic movies are about to rise, and after watching "Source Code", I am convinced of it!"

"If it's all made like "Source Code", there will be hope for Chinese films."

"The structure is so exquisite, I give this idea a perfect score, Tan Zhang's second film, consistently high standard!"

"Time travel + personality transfer + parallel space + passionate = source code, I stop the ending on Kiss."

"The process design is not very smart, but the concept is good."

"Tail minus one point, Tan Zhang is looking forward to your third movie."

"Although the premise is very ridiculous, the plot is very compact, very exciting, and some places are quite touching, although the ending is a bit unfinished, but overall it is a super good entertainment film, so I watched not many films that can hook the beginning to the end, and it is still a domestic science fiction film."

"I think only psychologically fragile people want to stop at the last kiss and create a new world to elevate the movie to the level of science fiction, otherwise it will be a tricky memory chasing the murderer."

"Tan Zhang told us that under an excellent plot, all sci-fi injuries are floating clouds."

"The last time I saw the trailer, I was very interested. At first, I didn't feel anything, and I was even a little bored. As a result, I completely cried to death in the second half, crying until I burst into tears. Somewhere in this world. There will be many such unsung heroes who silently dedicate themselves to humanity, and perhaps they themselves will not get tangible benefits. But they will be happy to see the smiles and happiness of others. โ€

"I highly recommend everyone to watch "Source Code", if you don't watch it, you will regret it for the rest of your life!"

"A bold business attempt. Undoubtedly, China's self-righteous directors learned from the detective how to make commercial films! โ€

"That kiss and stop here is a literary film, and a step forward is a science fiction film. PS: In fact, if the kiss stops, will it be better to use easter eggs later? โ€

"I went to see it for the third time, and I decided to take my friends to brush it five times!"

"Huang Daliang is super hard this time, Zhou Taiping is still so beautiful, Liu Anfeng's military uniform is cool, and the best is the director. Great Tan Zhang! โ€

"Which domestic film director is strong, China Anwei is looking for Tan Zhang."

"The best domestic comedy "Crazy Stone", the best domestic documentary "A Bite of China", the best domestic sci-fi film "Source Code", the best domestic director Tan Zhang!"

The speed of the screen of the hanging bomb day, the reputation of the hanging bomb day.

If "Source Code" is just a Hollywood movie, it may still have a good reputation, but it is impossible to cause such a big movement. However, it has now become a domestic sci-fi film directed by Zhang Tan, and it has suddenly hit the G-spot of domestic audiences. Because domestic films are too weak.

Everyone strongly needs a good movie to cheer up, and "Source Code" is just the outlet for everyone, and it is natural that it has the current sensation.

"This is what Tan Zhang is so good at. Every time it makes a splash. Zhang Tan once again made such a thought pop up in the hearts of many people.

The buzz continues.

After winning 62.2 million yuan at the box office in the first four days, the second week from August 10 to 16. There is only one "Silver Empire" co-produced by Hong Kong, Taiwan and the mainland in China. However, it is a pity that "Silver Empire" was not able to shake the schedule and box office of "Source Code".

"Source Code" has not dropped more than 50% in the film schedule this week. Attendance remains the highest of any film released.

A week later, the box office of the movie was announced. "Eavesdropping" only got 5.6 million box office, ranking fifth on the box office list; "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" fell to 9.2 million, ranking fourth in the box office list; "Silver Empire" has a good film schedule, but the box office is not strong, only 10.4 million, ranking third in the box office list.

Last week's runner-up "Codename Cobra" performed quite strongly, with a drop of 18.5 million that was not big, and it still retained the runner-up this week.

And last week's champion "Source Code" was expected to win consecutive championships.

And it's a super weekly crown!

"People's Daily" reported on this: "The box office of 106 million yuan in a single week, "Source Code" has created the highest weekly box office record for domestic films. โ€

The previous weekly box office of domestic films, the highest was only 80 million, which was created by last year's box office champion, the comedy "Insincerity and No Disturbance" filmed by Feng Dacang.

"Source Code" not only raised this record to 106 million, but also the only domestic film with a single-week box office of over 100 million.

"Domestic films have further narrowed the gap with imported films, and the box office of "Source Code" has successfully exceeded 100 million yuan in the second week, and Chinese films are experiencing a golden period of development."

62.2 million in the first week, 106 million in the second week, eleven days after its release, the total box office of "Source Code" totaled 168.2 million, far exceeding the estimates of Wang Zhujiang, Li Yan and others before the release.

"Detective, when you said that when you made a sci-fi movie, I was ready to pay with you, and I would go back to making a comedy if I messed up. Who would have thought that it has only been two weeks now, and it has sold almost 170 million, and it has been earned, and it has been doubled! The king began to stutter as he spoke excitedly.

No one is optimistic about domestic sci-fi films, because it is recognized that there is no soil for making sci-fi films in China.

The investment in "Source Code" is as fast as 50 million, which is not a small cost, and no matter how confident Zhang Tan is, it is inevitable that people will be pessimistic about the box office. If you change a director and dare to make sci-fi, investors will either change the director, withdraw their investment, or throw millions of dollars, and there will be no fourth way to choose.

That is, Zhang Tan, who is his own boss and has confidence in the movie, dares to play like this.

It turned out that he was playing the right game, and Source Code was out of control.

"Source Code is a big hit, Detective, I'm going to go up now." Liu Anfeng also kept an eye on the box office, and then one day, he made a phone call to Zhang Tan.

"Yes, how much do you have a pound now, weigh me two pounds, don't want fat."

"Priceless!" Liu Anfeng snorted, "I said that my worth has increased, my agent just told me that the crew who quoted me a salary of 3 million before has now quoted me 6 million, and it has only risen by 3 million in just a few days, it feels amazing." โ€

"Haha, it's not amazing at all, Source Code is a big hit, it's all a natural thing. I once said that when I asked you to shoot, I was paid a low salary in order to spend better money to make a movie. Now that movies make money, the red envelope is definitely higher than your current salary! โ€

"Then thank you for Boss Tan's generosity, I have to share this good news with Sister Taiping."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Tan was in a good mood.

Source Code has now earned back all its costs, and there is still a surplus. And it's only been 11 days at the box office, and every day after that, the box office is earned, followed by DVD sales, TV broadcast royalties, and overseas distribution profits......

"The overseas box office of "Source Code" this time should have a good performance, the theme of parallel worlds and repeated crossings is full of creativity in this world."

Zhang Tan thought in his heart.

His last movie "Crazy Stone", the overseas distribution was not very good, and after it was released in Xiangxiang and Taiwan, the box office was miserable, not as crazy as the mainland. And also last year, it landed in theaters in North America, but only got $2.6 million at the box office, which was unsatisfactory.

Multi-line storytelling is indeed a major innovation of the film, but this story full of local flavor is not adapted to the soil in the United States, and most of the box office is contributed by Chinese audiences.

However, a while ago, Zhang Tan went over the wall and went online, and saw on IMDb (Internet Movie Database), the largest movie website in the United States, that more than 20,000 people have scored "Crazy Stone", and the score is as high as 8.1 points, which is very good.

More than 17 North American critics rated the Chinese film, another film site in the United States, Rotten Tomatoes, with 15 of them given fresh tomatoes and only two critics gave rotten cabbage. The film critics on the Rotten Tomatoes website scored it very interestingly, giving tomatoes is a good review, and giving rotten vegetable leaves is a bad review.

According to the positive and negative reviews, the freshness of the movie is obtained, and the freshness of "Crazy Stone" is 88%, which is a high evaluation.

In short, the overseas trip of the stone, that's all.

And this kind of performance is far from meeting Zhang Tan's psychological expectations, so this time, Zhang Tan attaches great importance to the overseas of "Source Code".

Making money is secondary, and forcing is the pursuit. (To be continued.) )
