The media review scored 77 points, and "City of Sin" delivered a satisfactory answer.

If you compare works of the same type horizontally, "Kill Bill 1" scores 69 points, "Kill Bill 2" scores 83 points, "Seven Deadly Sins" scores 65 points, and "Clockwork Orange" scores 78 points. It can be seen that "City of Sin" is a work between "Clockwork Orange" and "Kill Bill 1", especially considering the absurd scene of 100 points flying with zero points, this data is even more incredible.

At the same time, the mass media of Rotten Tomatoes also expressed their opinions, and the incredible 245 media uploaded their own scores, which once again proved the extent to which "City of Sin" has attracted attention. Whether it is because of Lance's appeal or the influence of the massive publicity activities in the past month, such a sensational and brilliant appearance is eye-catching.

Among the 245 media outlets, 190 gave fresh tomatoes a positive review, and only 55 media outlets voted for Rotten Tomatoes, and the positive review rate reached 78%, and the average score reached 7:4. Such results are almost the same as the comprehensive score of authoritative media, proving that the overall direction of the media is still consistent.

On the other hand, the theater scores and ratings do not have much reference value during the premiere weekend. After all, the number of viewers so far is very limited, and it will inevitably fluctuate in the future due to the increase in the number of viewers. But even so, these two scores currently show a gratifying trend.

The cinema score reached "", among which the popcorn index reached 82%. Overall, the audience still reported affirmation in criticism, and once again coincided with the media comprehensive review, and the situation was even more amazing. Currently, the scores of more than 8,100 viewers reached 8.6 points, ranking among the top 30 on the 250 best film list.

Even though people know that this score will change in the future, they still exclaimed repeatedly.

Among the three current works of Lance, more than 300,000 people have voted in "City of God" and their scores remain at 8:7, ranking 20th on the list. It is also the highest-ranking work of foreign language films. This work deserves its reputation as Lance's amazing debut.

After "Borrowing a Knife to Kill People" won the Oscar for Best Actor Xiao Jinren, the number of ratings has soared. Currently, 250,000 votes have accumulated, and the score has temporarily settled at 7:9. Although it has not been able to enter the official 250th list, such results are still eye-catching.

Now, "City of Sin" has emerged again, temporarily ranked 25th with an 8:6 rating. The front is "very suspect" and the back is "beautiful life". Both works are classic works after time, while "City of Sin" appears high among them.

It is not the most authoritative list, because this is a website that is voted by the audience. It is very likely that the fan frenzy will appear and the inflated work may also appear, or unknown cool and cool art works will be ignored. But it is undeniable that this list reflects the audience's comprehensive evaluation of a work to some extent.

In Lance's short directorial career, two works appeared in the top 30, and his powerful appeal and influence were astonishing.

Before the first week of April 2005, directors who were able to have two works on the top 30 on the 250 list were only four: Steven Spielberg, "Schindler's List" and "Save Private Ryan" Peter Jackson, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy Frances Ford Coppola, "The Godfather 1" and "The Godfather 2" David Finch, "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Fighting Club".

Now, another one to this list is to add: Lancelot Strello. Although it is still unknown whether "City of Sin" can withstand the test of time, no one should forget that this is just Lance's fourth film, and has achieved such a result quietly. Even the exaggerated praise is not enough to describe people's pursuit of him.

What's more, Lance created a crime trilogy in four works. As Roger said, Lance has always been exploring the balance between art and business. The crime trilogy can obviously see some of the ways. Although it is still not perfect at present, for example, "City of God" is too artistic, "Killing people with a knife" and "City of Sin" are more commercial, but no one can deny that Lance has led many people on this road. In time, perhaps he can really become a master of a generation, possessing the appeal of Steven, Francis and others, and calling the North American film market.

The rating reflects the audience's trust and appreciation for Lance, which is precisely a talented skill that is hard to buy.

Before the release of "City of Sin", this work has become the focus of attention. On the one hand, because of Lance's appeal, as the new generation of directors who have risen the fastest in the past two years, Lance not only won the box office of two consecutive works of over 200 million yuan, but also won the Oscar nomination for Best Director for two consecutive years, but also pushed Tom to the throne of the best actor. This 32-year-old director has too many halos. Whether he continues to create glory or suffers a first Waterloo defeat, this is enough to attract enough attention to "City of Sin".

On the other hand, the great success of the "Welcome to Your Sin City" publicity campaign. This activity not only attracted a large number of participants, but also the heat of discussion has always remained high, turning the promotional activity of a movie into a real artistic creation and a carnival feast for film lovers. People's concern and expectations for the event naturally continued to the movie itself, curious about what kind of work "Sin City" will be and what kind of trend it will trigger, and in what form those winners will integrate into this work.

The explosive reaction of the premiere is the most direct proof. As Chaos Pictures’ first release, in the absence of the threading of the distribution department, they originally planned to reduce the scale of the premiere, concentrate on the live audience interaction, follow the route of "killing with a knife", and drive the box office with reputation, but after coming to the scene, they found that things were losing control bit by bit, and a small premiere gradually evolved into a grand premiere. On the night of the first week of April, it gave birth to the instant sense of the summer season frenzy.

This is just the beginning.

After the premiere, the news media couldn't wait to fight, rush to set up banners, divide boundaries, and show their positions. The vast momentum continued from professional media to mass media, and then to movie audiences and Internet people, spreading continuously. The polarized opinions caused incredible controversy. Even radio and television programs couldn't help but start to join the discussion. Everyone was expressing their opinions: either like or hate, or support or oppose, the topic of "City of Sin" spread like a huge crowd.

Before we knew it, the development of things had completely broken away from everyone's control. Chaos Film cannot control it, the news media cannot control it, and even ordinary people cannot control it. "City of Sin" has become the hottest topic in the first week of April. Even if you are not interested in this work, you have at least heard of the chaos it caused. If you have never heard of it, you will obviously be completely blocked by your circle of friends and don't know what to do.

Even for summer works, it is not so easy to create such a situation. Perhaps it is impossible to reach such a height after spending 20 million in publicity. But now, after unintentionally planting willows, and by a few accidents at a series of careful planning and important turning points, Chaos Pictures has only spent less than 5 million US dollars in publicity costs, reaching the height that all film companies have always dreamed of.

The movie viewing frenzy, "City of Sin" really triggered a movie viewing frenzy. People can't wait to enter the cinema to watch the movie as soon as possible, and then join this rare wave of discussion to share their opinions. On Friday, April 1st, "City of Sin" achieved a box office of 17 million US dollars in just this day!

After this data was released, it caused an indiscriminate exclamation. Perhaps, even the top 30 in the film history list could not squeeze into it, and it was far behind the 28 million record of "the day after tomorrow" on the premiere. But no one should forget that this was April. April, which was on the end of the spring season, created such a good result in the summer season. Now it is only the first week of April, and "City of Sin" has achieved such an incredible result, easily breaking the 15 million single-day box office record set by "Anger Management" in the second week of April 2003.

It is worth mentioning that the single-day box office of the "Twelve Arhats" premiere was 15 million, while the "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" was 12 million.

"City of Sin" only took one day to declare its dominance, especially the polarized treatment of the media, which sparked terrifying sparks, allowing the audience to walk out of the warm room of the cold winter and towards the cinema to welcome the summer and enjoy the spring, and joined the tide of watching movies.

Even the wisest media dare not predict that "City of Sin" will have such a strong opening in April. In fact, before "City of Sin" was released, the media's box office predictions for the movie were treated with both ice and fire. This situation is so familiar that it makes people laugh and cry, and it also makes the sense of expectation rise sharply.

Everyone can feel that the summer craze has arrived early with the strength of "Sin City", but the question is: what height can this movie reach? What kind of results will the premiere box office create? The miracle journey belonging to Reims seems to have just been unveiled. To be continued.
