Chapter 225 Rave Reviews
【This National Day, let’s watch a blockbuster together! 】
[Director Wang’s new movie “Source Code” is so good, everyone must support it! ]
[We Chinese also have our own science fiction blockbuster, so happy! ]
[The last time I worked with Director Wang seemed like it was just yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, Director Wang has produced another amazing work.
This once again reminded me of the excitement I felt when I was filming "The Fatal Call".
If you want to watch Chinese science fiction movies, you have to find Director Wang! 】
……
Shu Chang, Huang Lei, Guo Fucheng, Richie Jen, Wu Jing, Wang Jinsong, Xu Zheng, Yu Feihong, Wan Qian, Yu Bo, Wang Baoqiang, Wang Jingchun, Chen Kun, Nicholas Tse, Liam Neeson, Zhuang Wenqiang, Song Huiqiao...
These actors and directors, whether famous or not, have begun to log on to major online media, register accounts, and express their praise for the movie source code.
Their appearance naturally attracted a large number of fans who liked these stars, forming a powerful force, and formed an evenly matched confrontation with the public intellectuals who slandered and criticized the source code, as well as their followers.
The collision between the two sides on the Internet caused a lot of excitement, which naturally led to another group.
In various forum communities such as Tieba, Tianya, Douban, and Hupu, viewers and movie fans who have watched "Source Code" have joined the trend after seeing the Internet become so lively because of this movie.
It's just that they are on Wang Hao's side, so they are generous in praising the movie "Source Code".
[This is the third time I have gone to the cinema to watch a movie this year. The previous two times were for "Spider-Man 3" and "Transformers".
In my opinion, "Source Code" is not inferior to the previous two films. In fact, in some aspects, such as plot and creativity, "Source Code" may even be better.
Of course, in terms of special effects, "Source Code" is indeed slightly inferior, but this is understandable, after all, the amount of investment is there.
However, during the actual viewing process, I found that the special effects of the movie were not bad. At least the flames from the train explosion were very realistic, and the final freeze-frame shot was also amazing.
So it is worthwhile to watch our own science fiction movie during this National Day holiday.]
[In my opinion, the reason why Wang Hao's science fiction films have been successful in China is that he respects the audience's IQ, rather than just relying on playing with certain science fiction ideas and brain holes, or investing money in special effects.
At least in the movie "Source Code", you can see that the crew has put a lot of effort into the details of every part.
What impressed me most was the train section, which had an extremely realistic texture. It was close to the usual train style in China, and it also made innovations in spatial layout and materials, making it extremely futuristic and fashionable.
It is strongly recommended that our country's Ministry of Railways adopt this method to produce high-speed trains! 】
[This film is unique and groundbreaking among domestic films, both in terms of story and viewing quality.
In order to avoid spoilers, I won’t go into detail about the story, but it is so wonderful that it is hard to describe in words.
The point I want to make is the last scene of the movie, the freeze frame of Yu Bo and Song Huiqiao kissing each other, it is so beautiful! So romantic!
Especially when the sunlight shines in from the car window and covers them, people can't help but want to have a sweet love just by looking at them.
I have never watched "Descendants of the Dragon" before, but I heard that this TV series is a prequel to the movie. It seems that I have to find it and watch it carefully now. 】
[After watching "Source Code", I was so excited that I specially registered a Douban account just to write a review and recommend this movie to everyone, telling everyone that director Wang Hao is here and Chinese science fiction is finally saved!
I am sure that with the popularity of "Source Code", science fiction movies and science fiction novels will re-enter the public eye.
Director Wang Hao, I will definitely continue to support you! 】【I have to say, this is another movie where the Easter eggs are more interesting than the main film!
When watching movies directed by Wang Hao, I have developed a habit that I will wait even after the subtitles have finished playing.
This time, Director Wang left two more Easter eggs at the end of "Source Code".
Of course, if you ask me, there should be three Easter eggs in the movie.
One of them is the words said by Dr. Ma Zhao, who invented the subconscious therapy device at the end of the movie. These words upgraded the technology of the subconscious therapy device and linked it to another new technology called "digital life".
There is also a huge public dream built based on the creations of ancient civilizations, which reminds me of a movie, "The Matrix".
It seems that Director Wang Hao consciously wants to develop in this direction.
Then the second easter egg is that Dr. Ding Yi, the target of terrorists in "Source Code", rushed back to attend his wife's funeral and met Professor Luo Ji played by Chen Kun.
Obviously, since Professor Luo Ji can appear in the Easter egg, according to Director Wang’s habit, he must be an important character in his movie universe.
The third easter egg is much more interesting. It is about Shi Qiang going to look for Wu Jing who is in solitary confinement, who is Leng Feng in "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
This character also appeared in the prequel TV series "Descendants of the Dragon" of "Source Code". Now it seems that Director Wang is planning to make a movie specifically for him.
If I had to guess, it was probably because of this bomb incident that the Chinese government sent a special team led by Leng Feng to destroy the ETO organization that showed up in the post-credits scene of "Wushuang".
The scene will be huge, just thinking about it is very exciting! 】
【…】
Just as Wang Hao expected, thanks to the excellent quality of the film itself and its style that is more like a commercial blockbuster, the hype of "Source Code" not only did not arouse the audience's disgust, but instead attracted more movie fans to buy tickets and go to the cinema out of curiosity.
And once they sat down, the movie gave them freshness and excitement that were well worth the money.
In a sense, this is indeed the first commercial blockbuster in mainland China that can truly be called science fiction.
Whether it is the more advanced high-speed trains, the extremely realistic explosion special effects, or the military's secret plans, these are things that Chinese audiences have never seen in mainland movies before.
Therefore, most of the audience who have watched this movie will spontaneously post their feelings on the Internet after leaving the cinema, and also promote it to their relatives and friends, which will again attract more audiences to enter the cinema.
In this way, facing the wave of word-of-mouth spontaneously formed by the audience, even those public intellectuals who have many fans are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, and cannot cause much negative impact on the movie.
It was under this wave that the box office performance of the movie "Source Code" continued to soar.
From breaking the 100 million mark in four days to breaking the 200 million mark in ten days, and finally a month and a half later, "Source Code", which had its release time extended due to special care from the China Film Group, finally succeeded in breaking the 300 million box office mark.
Wang Hao, a young director who is only 26 years old and will soon be 27 years old, has become the Chinese director with the highest cumulative box office.
But this is just a small matter, because just after "Source Code" achieved a box office of 300 million, the report on the National Day holiday movie market in the "News Broadcast" was considered to have put a final conclusion to this wave of public opinion.
Although "Source Code" only appeared for 15 seconds in the news.
But the host's words, "Source Code, a domestic science fiction blockbuster directed by our outstanding young director Wang Hao," were enough to shut up all the public intellectuals.
In this way, those film and television companies that had been waiting and watching finally had no more concerns.
