Huayu Zhihao

Chapter 840
Because "Inception" is released simultaneously around the world, the storm of inception is not limited to the mainland, Xiangjiang, Baodao, South Korea, island countries and even the entire Southeast Asia, as well as Europe and the United States have all fallen into this violent wave of inception .

"Oriental Daily" (Xiangjiang): "Inception" is a very smart movie, with rich details and intricate narrative, which leads the audience into a subconscious maze. Chen Hao created a surreal and thrilling world.

Somewhat similar to Jung's theory, it challenges the viewer on multiple levels of reality and unreality.

Fast editing and agile narration vividly express the surreal world, and the virtual image technology presents the consciousness of the human brain to the pinnacle.

"Apple Daily" (Treasure Island): Movies are originally a dream that makes people intoxicated by light and shadow, but for "Inception" this is an excellent dream within a dream, and it is also Chen Hao's first foray into the field of dreams. a very successful attempt.

The plot of the movie is interlocking, the logic is rigorous and yet tense. The 148-minute movie does not give people even a trace of verbosity. The hero and heroine Leonardo and Marion Cotillard also presented the most exciting acting skills in the movie .

The best director, the best actors, the best story, just had this best dream.

"Kingmin Daily" (South Korea): Everyone is accompanied by dreams. Maybe "dreams within dreams" and even "dreams within dreams" have been done a lot, but no one has ever thought that stories about dreams can be filmed in this way. .

After "2012", the well-known Chinese director Chen Hao once again brought fans an unimaginable sci-fi masterpiece.

The whole movie is very interesting from the actors to the plot. The progressive dreams are so wonderful that the viewers can’t tell whether it is real or not. If it is possible to create dreams like this in reality, I also want to indulge in a dream of my own. unwilling to wake up.

The film market in mainland China is becoming more and more popular, and a new generation of great directors like Chen Hao has been born from it. His works are very popular throughout Asia and even North America, and his popularity can already be called world-class.

I hope that the relevant departments can conduct an in-depth investigation to see if Chen Hao has South Korean blood!
In addition, Son Ye-jin, an excellent actress of our country, starred in the film, and performed well, a supporting role is even more impressive than the heroine!
"Asahi Shimbun" (Island): Dreams are subconscious activities of people, and dreams are also a distorted version of real life. Dreams can be unconstrained and do whatever they want.

No matter how irrational the things in the dream are, it is still reasonable, so using dreams as the subject matter of the movie has more room to play and more freedom.

The key point is that the level and skills of the director and screenwriter will directly lead to whether the movie will be reduced to a third-rate horror movie or an excellent movie with strong originality.

Obviously, Chen Hao, who is also a screenwriter and director, belongs to the latter, and the whole movie has a lot to offer.

The plot of the story is ingeniously conceived, one link after another, clues emerging one after another, one-to-one correspondence, and small props also play a role that cannot be ignored.

The movie has clear layers, strict logic, shocking special effects, awesome soundtrack, first-class acting skills, and exciting. It is the most shocking classic so far this year!
Yes, I think the plot of "Inception" is better than "Avatar" purely from the movie!
It is worth mentioning that Ken Watanabe, an outstanding Chinese actor, also starred in this movie and showed his superb acting skills, adding a lot to the movie!

As for the screenwriter and director of the film, I believe that many people in the country know him, and he has brought many excellent works to everyone for many years.

Whether it is a screenwriter or a director, Chen Hao is a genius. I hope that this genius director will cooperate with more outstanding Chinese actors in the future and contribute more exciting movies.

……

One week after "Inception" was released in Asia, it triggered a movie-watching craze. The evaluations of the film in many countries and regions were surprisingly consistent and high. Obviously, this is a classic that can conquer most people. do.

While "Inception" gained a high reputation, it also achieved a super high box office. In addition to breaking 9 box office records in China's film history in the first week in the mainland, it won 2.1349 million yuan.

In Hong Kong, "Inception" achieved a box office of 1538 million Hong Kong dollars in its first week, unquestionably the weekly box office champion, and broke the first-week box office record of Chen Hao's film in Hong Kong.

I just don't know if the final box office can break the 2012 million created by "4100", the highest box office record of Chen Hao's domestic film in Hong Kong.

In Taiwan, the box office of "Inception" was also hot in the first week, with a total of NT$1.3 million. This is the second highest opening record in Taiwan this year, and it also created the first-week box office of Chen Hao's film in Taiwan. record.

Except for Xiangjiang and Baodao, the box office of other countries or regions has not received data for the time being, but judging from the feedback of the viewing situation, the box office situation is gratifying.

Knowing the box office in Asia, Chen Hao was very happy. At the same time, he couldn't help but think that besides the fact that "Inception" itself is really good, the actors from various countries and regions are probably also a part of the reason for such a result. Key factor.

We must continue to use this strategy in the future.

At the same time, Smart also sent the North American first weekend box office results of "Inception".

North American weekend box office list (2010.7.2-2010.7.4):
No. 1, "Inception", with a weekend box office of 6040 million US dollars, Haotian Films, with a cumulative box office of 6040 million US dollars, 3792 theaters, and a production cost of 16000 million US dollars;
No. 2, "Despicable Me", with a weekend box office of 3273 million US dollars, Haotian special effects, a cumulative box office of 11837 million US dollars, 3501 theaters, a decrease of 42.5% from last week, and a production cost of 1050 million US dollars;
No. 3, "The Wizard's Apprentice", with a weekend box office of 1737 million US dollars, Disney, with a cumulative box office of 2446 million US dollars, 3504 theaters, and a cost of 15000 million US dollars;
……

"Inception" earned a premiere score of US$3792 million at an average of US$16000 in 6040 theaters, which can be called a "dream start".

6040万美元的成绩逊于《钢铁侠2》、《爱丽丝梦游仙境》、《玩具总动员3》、《怪物史莱克4》、《暮光之城3：月食》、《诸神之战》，排名北美年度首映第六。

On the digital premiere rankings of works that opened in July, it ranks 7th between "National Superman Hancock" and last week's champion "Despicable Me".

The premiere score of 6040 million US dollars ranks first among the works of "mental manipulation" and "epic crime".

It was only a matter of time before the two categories' current champions, "Vanilla Sky" with $1 million and "The Departed" with $1.32 million, were surpassed at the box office.

Also "difficult sci-fi", "Inception" has to be reminiscent of another masterpiece "I, Robot" released in July, which had an opening figure of about 7 million US dollars.

Relying on the adaptation of the classic novel "I, Robot", the director Alex Poyers was completely defeated by Chen Hao.

"Inception" scored 76 points from the media, 93 points from BFCA, and 84% freshness on Rotten Tomatoes: 172 votes in favor: 33 votes against), and the favorable evaluation occupied an overwhelming advantage.

"Sparks of wisdom and suspense are bursting out, innovative images are overflowing, the classic summer box office bomb, and a first-class sci-fi thriller blockbuster!"

"The extremely novel perspective, while injecting indescribable intellectuality and originality into the story, also subverts the audience's thinking!"

"A large number of pictures that ignore physics are presented, and the action scenes that appeal to intuition and instinct are integrated with the emotional performance of flesh and blood, bringing a unique world view!"

"The boundary between dream and reality is ambiguous, which is not easy for the audience, but the dazzling image effect makes everything difficult and has the value of appreciation!"

"Leonardo DiCaprio's acting skills are superb, Joseph Gordon-Levy, Marion Cotillard, Yaya, etc. are all wonderful!"

……

However, among the many voices of praise, there are several harsh comments from authoritative media.

"Explaining that too many worldviews are bound by ethics, the charm of characters is too shallow and lack of in-depth shaping, and pretending to be profound makes people dizzy" have become the focus of attacks.

"Hollywood Reporter", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Daily News", "San Francisco Chronicle", "Time", "Variety Show" and many other major organizations showed full marks.

The equally authoritative "Voice of the Village" and "New York Observer" judged the lowest score.

Considering the cast and box office, the probability of "Inception" being shortlisted for the best picture Oscar is not low, and the full blooming of nominations in the technical department is almost guaranteed.

And Leonardo DiCaprio has a number of finalists for the best actor (with the combined skills of fighting "Island of Mystery").

The box office of US$6040 million in the first weekend is not Chen Hao's highest North American box office opening record, but it is the highest opening record of a domestic film directed by Chen Hao.

Currently in North America, the highest box office record for a domestic film directed by Chen Hao is "2012" which grossed US$9250 million.

Judging from the first weekend box office of "Inception", breaking this record is clearly a certainty, and even surpassing "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the North American foreign language film box office record holder, is very likely.

At the same time, in addition to the North American box office, Smart also sent the global box office of "Inception" at the first weekend, which was about 1.15 million US dollars, and won the global weekly box office champion!

Naturally, it also created a domestic movie box office record in the first week of the world!

""Inception" has a global weekly box office of 1.15 million US dollars, becoming the No. [-] in the global weekly box office!" --- Reported by Sohu Entertainment
""Inception" hits theaters all over the world, setting new box office records for Chinese-language movies in many countries and regions!"--New Wolf Entertainment
""Inception" 1.15 million in the first week of the world, far less than "Avatar"!" --- Qiandu Entertainment
……

When "Inception"'s North American and global first-week box office was reported back to China, it sparked heated discussions.

It is gratifying to break the global box office record of a domestic film, and the media praised it again.

However, the first week of "Inception" is significantly different from that of "Avatar". In terms of global box office appeal, Chen Hao's influence is still far behind.

However, Chen Hao said before that what he wants to compete for is only the box office champion of the movie history in the Mainland. Obviously, Chen Hao also has self-knowledge.

In order to surpass "Avatar", "Inception" must maintain the same box office data as "Avatar" in the same period, otherwise, once it is thrown away, no matter how long the release time is, it will not help.

Therefore, the media, the industry, and fans are all paying attention to the next week's box office of "Inception"!

According to the box office trend in the Mainland, the box office of the next week is generally higher than that of the first week, because the second week is a complete week, with a total of 7 days, and the box office will naturally be higher.

In the second week of July, a total of 7 new films were released in the mainland.

The bigger threat is "Tang Bohu Spots Autumn Fragrance 2" starring Zhang Jingchu and Ren Xianqi.

As for "Yangtze River No. 7 Loves the Earth", "The Winner of the Great Power is King", "The Imminent Crisis in the World of Darts", "Will Tomorrow Come" and so on, you can tell that they are bad movies just by looking at the names.

There is also a domestic cartoon "Dream Back to Sands City" that is also not threatening.

"The Spy", which was originally scheduled for this week, starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz, has also been postponed. "Inception" can be said to have almost no rivals.

In everyone's anticipation, a week has finally passed, and the next week's box office of "Inception" is finally released!
""Inception" scored 2.46 million yuan in the next week, and won the weekly box office champion!"--Sohu Entertainment Report
"2.46 million! "Inception" breaks the weekly box office record for domestic films!" --- 1905 Film Network

""Inception" made 2.46 million yuan in the second week, and the cumulative box office in the two weeks was 4.6 million yuan, topping the box office champion of domestic movies!"--Douyan.com

""Inception" surpassed "Edge of Tomorrow" at the box office in 2 weeks, and rose to the runner-up in the box office of mainland film history, second only to "Avatar"!"--Shiguang.com

……

"Inception" did not encounter any resistance in the second week, and directly smashed the box office of 2.46 million yuan!

This box office result refreshed the single-week box office record for a domestic film of 2.13 million yuan just set in the first week of "Inception".

At the same time, it also surpassed the 2.35 million yuan of "Avatar" in the second week, breaking the box office record of the second week in mainland film history!

However, there is still a considerable gap from the 2.87 million yuan in the first week of "Avatar", ranking second in the single-week box office rankings in mainland film history!
Although it is not as good as the first week of "Avatar", "Inception" once again broke the box office record of the mainland film history with the fastest box office of 3 million and 4 million!

At the same time, the cumulative two-week box office of "Inception" reached 4.6 million yuan, officially surpassing the 4.51 million yuan of Chen Hao's own "Edge of Tomorrow"!

Climbing to the top of the box office champion of domestic movies, it also rose to the second place in the box office rankings of mainland film history, second only to "Avatar" with 13.5 billion!
The two-week cumulative box office of "Inception" lost to "Avatar"'s 5.22 million, but as far as the box office of the same period (11 days) is concerned, there is not much difference between the two, and "Inception" is even slightly ahead.

And 2 weeks later, "Inception" was actually ahead of "Avatar" in the box office of the same period, which undoubtedly left everyone dumbfounded!
