Chapter 232 670 million in 5 days, the best movie of the Heavenly King

After returning to the source code world many times, the male protagonist played by Andy Lau finally found the terrorist, but because the heroine played by Song Qi suddenly appeared, he was distracted, and was finally shot by the terrorists, and the heroine played by Song Qi was not spared.

The male protagonist played by Andy Lau fell in a pool of blood, as far as his eyes could see, it was the female protagonist who also fell in a pool of blood, Li Mu's version of the heroine is called Lin Na, the male protagonist said, Lin Na, stay by my side, stay with me, Lin Na shed tears, the male protagonist Andy Lau, called Shi Wenzhou in the movie, he said: "Everything will be fine, this is not over." ”

This sentence was also said to him by the heroine before, and now it is said by the protagonist, which means that the protagonist has made up his mind to save the heroine, including the passengers of that train.

Even if this is meaningless and useless in the eyes of people in the real world, because in the eyes of people in the real world, these are dead people, and people cannot be resurrected after death.

At this time, the male protagonist may faintly feel that the source code is created in a parallel world, or he may feel that the female officer and the lame chief are right, and the source code creates only a virtual world, but this does not affect his determination to save everyone and be with the female protagonist.

No matter what people in the real world think, at least in his eyes, this is a group of living people.

When it was broadcast here, Andy Lau secretly turned his head to look behind him, and found that most of the audience's eyes were on the big screen, except for a very few people whispering something to their friends, most of the rest were silent.

This is a clip that Andy Lau likes very much, and it is also the place where he feels that he performed very well during filming, and he thinks that the audience may also like it, so he can't help but turn his head to see the audience's reaction, but unfortunately most of the audience has no reaction, and I don't know whether the audience likes it or not.

If it's a comedy movie, the audience can't help but burst into laughter when it reaches the point of hilarity.

If it is a visual blockbuster, when the most shocking picture is broadcast, the audience will make a sound of "I grass" again and again.

But "Source Code" is very troublesome, and the audience will neither laugh nor "I grass" again and again, so does the audience like it or not?

At least Andy Lau was a little uncertain.

Back to the plot of the movie.

Next, the male lead, called Sven Zhou in the movie, returns to the siege fort again and tells the female officer and the lame doctor who are anxiously waiting for the results: he has found the suspect!

The SWAT in the real world was dispatched immediately, the suspect was quickly caught, the crisis was lifted, the lame doctor was complacent, and the revolution caused by the source code was only beginning to emerge, Yang Ziqiong played the female officer to congratulate the protagonist on completing the task, but the protagonist played by Andy Lau bluntly said that the lame chief had no intention of letting him return to the world of the source code again, and the female officer said that she had not been ordered yet.

The male protagonist asks the female officer to send him into the source code world again, and then end his life after 8 minutes, the female officer sympathizes with the male protagonist's plight and understands his feelings for Lin Na, the woman who has died in her eyes, so she agrees to help the lame doctor.

But the actor said, "I'm begging you, I'm begging you to send me and turn me off...... Eight minutes is enough! ”

The female officer hesitated, doing so would probably ruin her future, but in the end, conscience prevailed, and the male protagonist once again entered the world of source code.

After the actor cleanly solved all the crises, he took out all the money on his body, betting that the comedian played by Zhou Xingzhi could not make the whole train laugh, and the comedian accepted the challenge.

As the comedian struggles to make everyone laugh, he calls the heroine, who is Linna, to the entrance of the carriage and asks her what she would do if there was only one minute left in her life.

Linna says she'll count down, but the protagonist says he'll kiss her again, and he does.

In the real world, when the 8-minute time is up, the female officer presses the red button to end the protagonist's life.

The picture freezes at this moment, the camera slowly zooms out, and everyone on the train is laughing.

In the theater, Zhou Xingzhi next to Li Mu watched very seriously, Liu Yifei shook Li Mu's hand, and Liu Dehua on the other side turned his head to look behind him again.

This is his favorite picture in the whole film, and he didn't feel it deeply when he was shooting, but he was deeply shocked after seeing the edited picture, and at this moment he wanted to know if the audience's feelings were the same as him.

But it is clear that he still failed to do so this time, not because the audience doesn't like it, but because he simply can't know what the audience really thinks.

The vast majority of viewers are simply staring at the big screen in front of them, and unless you have mind reading, it's impossible to know what the audience really thinks.

Do you like it or don't like it?

Maybe you will only get the answer by asking the audience after the movie is over.

When the scene of the protagonist lying in the life support system with only the upper half of his body left, there was an exclamation in the theater, and many viewers were talking to each other, but compared to the whole film, one or two such exclamations seemed to mean nothing at all.

The scene returns to the carriage again.

In the freeze-frame frame, the hero and heroine are still kissing each other, and then the picture moves, and after the real world presses the switch, the world of the source code does not disappear - the source code creates a whole new world!

Among the passers-by that the male and female protagonists met after getting out of the car was Liu Yifei, she was still called Liu Yifei in the movie, but her identity changed from a star to an ordinary salesperson.

When Liu Yifei appeared, the atmosphere in the entire theater suddenly became extremely warm, everyone seemed very excited, and many people happily discussed with the people around them.

At the end of the film, the female officer suddenly receives an email saying that he and the female officer together prevented a terrorist attack and also said the name of the terrorist.

The female officer went to see the lame doctor with the mail, but she happened to see the news of the capture of the terrorist on TV, and she believed the content of the email.

The email said:

"If you can receive this email, the source code is even better than you and the doctor expected, you thought you would recreate the events of the past for 8 minutes, but no, you have created a whole new world, if I guessed correctly, somewhere in the source code world, you will find Captain Sven Zhou who is waiting for the mission, promise me to assist him, and do me another favor and tell him that everything will be fine."

The movie ends.

Looking at the subtitles that began to appear on the big screen, Andy Lau had mixed feelings.

"Source Code" is the most serious, dedicated, and optimistic work he has ever filmed in recent years, and if nothing else, this should be his highest box office performance since his debut, but ......

It's all theoretical, and now he's not sure what the audience thinks.

Decades of experience in the industry have taught him that in many cases, the reality is not that the film you are most optimistic about will definitely get more recognition and get the highest box office. Optimistic, but the results are very poor, not optimistic, but the good results are happening every 100 million days in this industry.

He is very optimistic about "Source Code", first, he really likes the plot of the movie very much, and second, this is the work of Li Mu's screenwriter.

Li Mu is a very magical young man, in the unpredictable film industry, he has never missed a move since his debut, Andy Lau does not believe that "Source Code" will be Li Mu's first failed work so coincidentally.

So "Source Code" will most likely be successful, but where did the audience respond most enthusiastically during the film just played?

Is it Li Mu's face that appeared in the protagonist when he looked in the mirror, whether the audience found Zhou Xingzhi's figure in the train car, or Liu Yifei, who suddenly appeared near the end of the film.

On the contrary, the clips he was most optimistic about, those plots that he was most satisfied with, did not see any special reaction from the audience.

So the audience only likes the clips of Li Mu, Zhou Xingzhi, and Liu Yifei, right? Or do you like the whole film as much as you do?

Just when Andy Lau was still unsure of the audience's reaction, behind him, a large number of audiences had already stood up spontaneously, and then enthusiastic applause rang out from all corners of the theater.

Andy Lau sensed something, he hurriedly stood up, turned to face the audience behind him, and what greeted him was excited, excited, and enthusiastic faces, as if everyone was applauding.

Andy Lau clasped his hands together and kept thanking all the audience, and all the main creators on the scene also thanked the audience who kept applauding.

The lights in the screening hall turned on, Andy Lau and Fan Wei walked quickly to the stage, and the host first handed the microphone to Andy Lau.

"Thank you very much ......"

There was a pause after just saying these four words, as the applause from the audience continued.

"Thank you very much...... Thank you all for coming to the premiere of Source Code and thank you for enjoying the movie......"

When Andy Lau said "thank you very much" for the second time, the applause at the scene gradually stopped, and everyone began to sit back in their seats one after another.

In fact, during the screening of the premiere of the film, at the end of the broadcast, the audience generally stood up and applauded: first, most of those who could come to the premiere had a certain recognition of the main creative team; Second, the creators of the movie are on the scene, and everyone will instinctively give a little face to the people who are close to them.

Therefore, the audience applauded at the premiere of the movie does not mean that the movie must be really good, only the kind of film that can still make ordinary audiences spontaneously stand up and applaud after the movie is officially released, in an ordinary theater where there is no main creator of the movie, is a real phenomenal film.

There are very few films in history that have been able to reach this level.

Recognized in China, "Avatar" directed by Cameron is counted as one, and "Gravity" directed by Li Mu is also counted as one.

When these two films were released, after the film was played, there were really many theaters where the audience spontaneously stood up and applauded enthusiastically.

At that time, almost everyone was deeply shocked by the epoch-making 3D technology of these two films.

But that's not to say that the applause at the premiere really doesn't mean anything.

From the duration of applause, the proportion of audience applause, the number of viewers who spontaneously stood up, etc., it can still be seen that the audience recognizes a film.

Just like the current "Source Code", when the subtitles just began to appear on the big screen, a large number of ordinary audiences stood up in the theater, followed by very warm and extremely lasting applause, and even Andy Lau and other main creators came on stage to interact with the audience, and even Andy Lau's first speech was interrupted by this applause.

By the time we got here, most people were already able to see the film's potential.

On stage, Andy Lau, who was greatly confident, worked hard to interact with the audience; Offstage, Liu Yifei leaned into Li Mu's ear and whispered: "You said that if there is really a parallel world, what kind of profession will I have?" ”

Li Mu thought seriously for a moment and said, "Star! ”

Liu Yifei smiled: "How do you know? Maybe I really became a salesperson? Or is it a veterinarian? ”

Li Mu's eyes fell on her face, reached out to brush away a strand of hair hanging down her cheek, and said, "Don't you usually look in the mirror?" Look at yourself, such a beautiful face, if you really become a salesperson, I'm afraid that the talent scouts across the country will be able to break down the doors of your part-time store. ”

"Nonsense, I'm not as beautiful as you say at all, you are ......" Liu Yifei smiled and gave Li Mu a punch, "You are ...... Love is blind. ”

After a while, Liu leaned over again and asked, "What about you, if there really were a parallel world, what would you do?" ”

Li Mu said very seriously: "I think I will still be a director, but I may not have such a big achievement as now, I may only be able to control a small crew with an investment of 50 million at most, and I may not be able to control it, maybe I will be fired just because of the heroine's words, big rules, who can say for sure?" ”

Liu Yifei smiled when he heard this: "That's really miserable, the dignified director Li Da was fired because of the heroine's words." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "If you want to say miserable, sometimes you may indeed feel very aggrieved, but most of the time it is still very comfortable, don't be too distracted from the director's position that can get a 50 million investment project, not to mention anything else, how many actresses are willing to ...... for a role without a few lines Do you know? - Master Xing, what do you think of this movie? ”

Feeling Liu's eyes, Li Mu suddenly stopped and changed the topic, chatting with Zhou Xingzhi next to him.

Just now, Zhou Xingzhi watched the interaction between Li Mu and Liu Yifei, and suddenly thought of a lot of past events in his mind, and then an inexplicable regret surged into his heart.

It just so happened that "Source Code" was about the story of a parallel world, and he couldn't help but think: "Maybe I have a chance to live happily like them in the parallel world!" Probably so, right? ”

After the premiere, there were a lot of reviews about the film on the Internet that night.

"No spoilers, masterpiece, highly recommended!"

"Source Code" made the person who said before that Li Mu is a director who relies on a huge amount of money, and if you give you 140 million US dollars, you can also shoot "Inception" and "Gravity" into a complete joke! The investment in "Source Code" is very small, and many directors in China have raised this level of investment, but except for Li Mu, no one has been able to make a sci-fi film of the level of "Source Code"! Li Mu previously demonstrated to his counterparts across the country how to shoot top sci-fi blockbusters with more than 100 million US dollars; This time, Li Mu used 30 million US dollars to demonstrate to his counterparts across the country that there is no investment of more than 100 million US dollars, and he Li Mu is still the king of science fiction movies in China! ”

"No, the director of "Source Code" doesn't seem to be Li Mu, right?"

"That's right, but he's the soul!"

"Highly recommended! The cast is strong - Andy Lau , Fan Wei , Yang Ziqiong , Li Mu , Zhou Xingzhi , Liu Yifei, just this cast, let me ask you, do you know if it is worth watching in the theater? ”

Soon, some netizens questioned it.

"Starring Li Mu, Zhou Xingzhi, Liu Yifei? The bot answers? Where are Li Mu, Zhou Xingzhi, and Liu Yifei? ”

"That is, if there are really these three people, can the crew not die to publicize?"

Soon some netizens explained:

"Actually, what he said is really true, these three people have really appeared, and there are quite a lot of scenes in Xingye!"

And then, the whole Internet went into a stir.

"I'm grass, are there really these three people? I have to go see it! ”

"Awesome, I wanted to watch it again after a while, now? Anyway, I can't wait, buy tickets right away! ”

"I've flipped through a lot of posts, run several forums, and browsed several posts, and it seems that the reputation of "Source Code" has really exploded, so I'll go see it tomorrow!"

"It is said that at the premiere, Li Mu gently stroked Liu Yifei's hair, and the audience at the scene was so sweet!"

"This is true, I was at the scene, at that time, Xing Ye was fascinated by the picture of the two of them showing affection, thinking of Xing Ye's emotional experience, I felt that the picture was very sad at that time."

……

Andy Lau finally felt the joy of starring in a Huashang film.

The premiere date of "Source Code" was Wednesday, and the single-day box office was 142.5 million.

The next day, Thursday, the single-day box office was 113.4 million.

On the third day, Friday, the single-day box office was 122.1 million.

On the fourth day, Saturday, the single-day box office was 157.2 million.

On the fifth day, Sunday, the single-day box office was 135.2 million.

The film was released for five days, and the domestic box office was 670 million, although this included a certain amount of ticket supplements, but this box office figure still made Liu Dehua and Liu Tianwang quite shocked.

His previous two consecutive films only had a total box office of 50 or 60 million, but the box office of "Source Code" could break 150 million in a single day!

His previous highest-grossing film was "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire", which was released last year and directed by Xu Jiao, with a total box office of 286 million, but "Source Code" broke this record in only three days after its release!

"Ambush on All Sides" also created a box office miracle that year, so what is its total box office? 156 million! Now the box office of "Source Code" can reach 157 million in a single day?!
