""No Surname" took 5400 million yuan at the box office in the first week!" --- Sohu Entertainment Report
"RMB 5400 million! "The Man With No Surname" is the second highest-grossing movie in the first week!"-- Netease Entertainment
"The box office of "No Surname" narrowly lost to "House of Flying Daggers" in the first week!"--New Wolf Entertainment
……

After earning 1650 million yuan at the box office on the first day, "Man Without a Surname" won another 2000 million yuan and 1750 million yuan at the box office on Saturday and Sunday, and the cumulative box office in the first week was 5400 million yuan!

This result surpassed the 5300 million first-week box office of "Hero", but with a difference of 100 million yuan, it ranked second after "House of Flying Daggers", ranking second in the first-week box office list of mainland film history!

In the end, the background and strength of the national teacher are still stronger than Chen Hao, especially in the first ten years of the beginning of the century, no one can match it!

The box office of 2000 million yuan on Saturday is also the first time that Chen Hao's personal movie has broken through 2000 million in a single day, creating Chen Hao's best single-day box office record.

However, this result is still inferior to "House of Flying Daggers", the highest single-day box office of "House of Flying Daggers" has reached 2150 million yuan, which is also the highest single-day box office record in mainland movie history!
Except for the box office on the first day, where "Man with No Surname" beat "House of Flying Daggers" by a small margin, all other zero-point shows, single days, and first weeks were lost to "House of Flying Daggers".

It can only be said that the current national teacher is still too terrifying. It is obviously impossible for Chen Hao to suppress the national teacher from the beginning to the end.

However, Chen Hao's "A Man Without a Surname" is not without a chance of success, the key lies in the film's reputation.

"House of Flying Daggers" received mostly negative reviews in the mainland, and most of the film critics and audience expressed their disappointment, which was also reflected in its box office.

After breaking 10 million in two weeks and 4 days, last week was the 1.3th week of the release of "House of Flying Daggers", and the cumulative box office reached [-] million yuan!

Of course, there are also the impact of piracy and the decline in film scheduling, but this is the opportunity of "The Man Without a Surname".

As long as it has a good reputation and Chen Hao's own appeal, "The Man Without a Surname" is not impossible to reverse!
And when the time entered a new week, the film reviews about "The Man Without a Surname" quickly occupied a lot of space in the media reports.

"The film "No Surname" represents the excellent combination of current film technology and connotation, both in the main theme of the film and in its gorgeous and complex expression techniques.

More importantly, under its complex and changeable structure, the director has shown extremely superb skills in sorting out the film's narrative, grasping the rhythm, and shaping the character of the characters.

"The Man Without a Surname" refurbishes an ancient proposition "man faces multiple life situations after facing choices" through more superb film techniques.

This makes the film not only limited to the formalism of "Run Lola Run" and the love theme of "Sliding Door", but also differs from the serious political orientation of Keith's "Mistakes", and is closer to the philosophy of "Multiple Fate". proposition.

In order for the director to explain the proposition to be logical, although this logic also relies on some kind of fantasy, it paves the way for the possibility of subsequent descriptions.

The basis of this logic is "a child who can connect his past and future". This child can constantly examine his future, so that the audience can have a way to peep into the multiple choices of fate.

When this child faces divorced parents, traveling across the ocean with his mother or staying in his hometown with his father is an important point in time when his fate is divided, and the story has a fork in the road.

In just 100 minutes, the director expounded 8 possible lives that the male protagonist may experience, but none of them is a perfect life.

In these fantasies or predicted lives, the male protagonist exists under a hypothetical premise, not real, and all lives are attributed to nothingness.

When the 9-year-old male protagonist examined different life situations, he did not follow his parents, but ran to the distance by himself, and his final choice brought him back to Fan Yaojing.

The 118-year-old man said that this was his best day because he helped the 9-year-old male protagonist find the most perfect life.And those lives without love are hypothetical lives, and they are all lives that should not be experienced. "

"Ripples of Fate
Life may not be as beautiful as we imagined, but every life must have its meaning.

"A Man With No Surname" is a masterpiece that contains philosophical thinking between life and death. Chen Hao uses his unrestrained imagination and multiple narrative techniques to construct the road of life, which gives people thinking about life choices every time.

When the 118-year-old male protagonist in the movie finally faces the approach of death, the huge time span is like an aria about the fate of life, and the ripples of fate form the unique aesthetics of the movie. "

……

Most of the evaluations given by media film critics are mainly positive ones. "The Man With No Surname", a philosophical film, obviously appeals to film critics who like to study and make up their own minds.

At the same time, there are also many movie-watching experiences left by netizens on major forums.

It is now 2004, and the well-known film review websites Douban and Mtime.com have not yet been established. At this time, there is no dedicated place for movie fans to communicate, complain, score, and share movie resources.

Therefore, everyone can only spend time in the major forums, among which the Tianya Forum has the greatest influence.

Because since Chen Hao interacted with fans on the Tianya Forum to promote "Comet", this tradition seems to have been carried on, and the forum and the producer have their own needs.

Therefore, there is also a "No Surname" post on the Tianya Forum for everyone to share!

China Entertainment Little Reporter: Time is always forked, leading to countless futures and pasts; it is about choice, memory, time, chance, parallel universe, butterfly effect... It is more complicated than any movie of the same theme, and the narrative technique Completely breaking the rules, what is especially rare is the beauty of the shots.

Appreciating Flowers and Appreciating Jade: The film is like a poetic fable, both classical and futuristic, full of fantasy and touching plots.

Du Tianzi: "A Man With No Surname" is like an unfinished fantasy diary, which combines the wise reflection of the elderly and the innocent reverie of children.

……

Netizens' evaluations were also mostly positive, which made Chen Hao completely relieved.

Of course, many viewers and film critics also gave negative comments.

The main focus is that the movie wants to express a lot of things, and there are too many life trajectories in the narration, which makes the movie a little out of control, not easy to understand, and even like reading a bible!
However, Chen Hao has a good attitude towards this. Having made so many movies, these bad reviews have long been commonplace. As long as there are not large-scale bad reviews, Chen Hao is already immune.

However, it is quite different from "House of Flying Daggers" and has been well received by most people. Chen Hao, Fan Yaojing and others are all looking forward to the next week's box office of "No Surname"!

　Thanks to "China Entertainment Little Reporter" for the 1000 reward!
