The King of Huayu Science Fiction

Chapter 191 The new king is crowned
As a result of the high praise from the media and film critics, the freshness of "Source Code" reached 93% among professional film critics on Rotten Tomatoes, and 85% among popcorn audiences. It's top-notch, and surpassed Chen Jingxing's previous three films.

Fans of Chen Jingxing generally believe that "Source Code" is a new peak in his film works, and other ordinary audiences who are not fans of Chen Jingxing are also attracted by the concept of time loop and exciting plots that have never appeared in the movie before.

In a sense, "Source Code" is the most commercial of the four films made by Chen Jingxing. It has a suspenseful and exciting process of finding the truth, and it is still in the process of continuous loops, as well as in the process of finding the KB molecule. The fist-to-flesh fighting scenes in the narrow carriage, clean and full of martial arts design sense-this is a fighting scene that is different from the fighting style of Hollywood super-English movies and even Wang Baquan.

All of these make "Source Code" a feast of top-level sci-fi creativity and top-level narrative rhythm, and it also made North American audiences who were shocked and attracted after watching the movie expressed their praise passionately on the Internet for the first time.

[A new interpretation of the concept of time and space, one step closer than "Signal", and the story is more exciting]
[This is one of the best sci-fi movies of all time, he can hold your attention from beginning to end, all scientific explanations are acceptable in my opinion, there is no doubt that this is a great sci-fi story]

[Must-see for science fiction fans!Very novel concept, recommended to all sci-fi fans, it will definitely become a future sci-fi classic]

[Very visually stunning movie, I love watching movies like this one that conceptualize quantum physics and the possibility of parallel worlds, Source Code explores in part our ability to think about imagination and dreams, How to influence our present and future outcomes, not the past]
[Unbelievable, how on earth did Chan come up with this story, his imagination is simply different from ordinary people, he created a new concept and genre of science fiction, I see some people call it a time loop movie]

[This movie damn still leaves a lot of suspense that makes me scratch my head. The KB organization in the movie is too mysterious. Why did they create such a KB attack? ]

The history-making word-of-mouth has also achieved a history-making box office record for "Source Code". Before "Batgirl" was released on May 5, the box office of "Source Code" exceeded 13 million. There was no immediate blackout, and it still managed to make millions of dollars a day at the box office.

This means that "Source Code" is basically guaranteed to break through the $1 million box office mark in the North American market.

According to the account sharing agreement signed by Firefly and Universal with major theaters, at least more than 4400 million box office accounts can be obtained.

After excluding various tax operating expenses and half of Universal's share, Firefly can make at least 2000 million in box office revenue, plus TV copyright and DVD copyright, it is estimated that it can get at least 2000 million in revenue.

In this way, through the movie "Source Code", the producers such as DreamWorks can get 4000 million US dollars in revenue in North America alone. This kind of profit has completely exceeded the 2500 million US dollars sold out of the last movie "Signal" Royalty fees.

In addition to the nearly perfect answer in the North American market, other overseas countries and regions are also being released one after another. Thanks to the nearly [-] million box office performance in North America, the release of "Source Code" in other countries is also easy. Not a lot. After all, the North American market is still the world's largest ticket warehouse at this time. It is like a guiding light. As long as it achieves commercial success in this market, its influence can radiate to other countries.

Back in China, "Source Code" is also creating new history.

From May 5th to May 4th, which is the third week of the release of "Source Code", audiences across the country once again spent 5 million, allowing "Source Code" to win the box office champion for the third consecutive week, and the cumulative box office exceeded 10 billion, creating a new box office record for domestic films.

And this result is only 19.4 million short of the 3.4 billion box office created by "Young Avengers", which has already been released.

This made the major media start to pay close attention to the next box office trend of "Source Code", and even many netizens who don't care about the box office and do not understand box office rules and related knowledge also start to care about the daily box office performance of "Source Code".

On Zhihu, the question "Is it possible for the domestic box office of "Source Code" to surpass "Young Avengers" to create a record in the history of Chinese film history?" The question attracted enthusiastic answers from Zhihu users.

Except for a few ridicules that "as long as they are never released, they can create box office records", "the strength of domestic film protection is unimaginable for ordinary people", "it is too narrow to spend so much effort to break the record of Hollywood blockbusters, it is completely a populist carnival" , "Even if a new box office record is created, it can be easily regained when the next Hollywood blockbuster comes in" and other sour answers, most of them are positive and expectant answers.

After all, since "True Lies" in 1995, Huaguo's movie box office record has always been monopolized by Hollywood blockbusters. In the past 20 years, there have been Chinese movies trying to approach and challenge this title, but they have been pulled further away. The symbolic meaning of making the No.1 head of film history in the Chinese film market far exceeds its own weight, but Chinese films were too far away from this achievement in the past, and everyone didn't care about it or pay attention to it.

And "Source Code" has now become the movie closest to this goal. Coupled with the high reputation of the movie itself, most people hope that it achieve such an achievement.

Even the producers such as Penguin Video and Tianrun Pictures have hinted to Chen Jingxing whether to use certain means, such as water injection, to achieve this goal. After all, United Cinemas is also a shareholder of DreamWorks. If DreamWorks wants to do this , is definitely very convenient.

Even many people inside DreamWorks couldn't resist the temptation, thinking that this was a great opportunity, and it was a great honor for DreamWorks.

However, Chen Jingxing was still unmoved. No one knew better than him the future potential of Huaguo's film market. Even if he really created a box office record, it was hard to say whether he could maintain it for half a year. I believe that Huaguo audiences can't see the water injection.

In such an atmosphere of national concern, forums such as Tieba, Tianya, Douban, and Hupu have posts every day to track and update the cumulative box office of "Source Code" in real time.

Until May 5th, Li Weiming, a loyal fan of Chen Jingxing, tremblingly posted and pinned a box office record post on Chen Jingxing's post bar.

"The new king is crowned! "Source Code" has a cumulative box office of 19.42 billion, making it the highest-grossing film in Huaguo's film history! After 20 years, Huaguo's film box office record has once again returned to domestic films!"
