rising director

Wong Kar-wai's artistic achievements can be called a master. Wu Yusen's "Mission 2" broke [-] million US dollars worldwide. The Hong Kong media has too much to be proud of.

If "Butterfly Effect" failed to set off any enthusiasm in Hong Kong, then "Crazy Stone" has no news at all.

The film group's work efficiency is not high, and the results of the first week have not been counted for a long time.I just know a rough idea, around 5000 million, and a total box office of over 3000 million is not a problem.However, the film has a super good reputation and a fresh multi-line narrative.But it has become the news that the mainland media love to talk about.

In a word, both Wan Xiaohu and Ning Hao are popular in the mainland.

On November 11th, the nominations for the 8th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards were announced. "My Sassy Girl" was nominated for only one nomination, which was "-beleve" for best original film score.The version sung by Mao Ning.The Golden Horse Awards sent an invitation letter, inviting Wan Xiaohu and others to participate, and invited Mao Ning to sing songs at the Golden Horse Awards.

Wan Xiaohu just called Mao Ning, and after confirming that Mao Ning agreed to sing, he entrusted Mao Ning to win the award on his behalf. He himself did not plan to bring the group there.

He didn't have his own nomination, so why did he join in the fun in the past.

With this time to join in the fun, it is better to think more about filming, as the filming progresses.The more copies are accumulated, the more time Wan Xiaohu needs to spend on copying.

life goes on.

More surprises are waiting!

"Xiaohu, it's terrible. New Line Company called. The box office response of "Butterfly Effect" is very good. The movie viewing situation this week is among several low-budget movies. It is the most popular. According to this posture, it will explode this week. Haha, you are really a money-scatterer, you said you want to earn Lao Mei’s money, so go earn it!”

"Haha, I was just bragging at the time, and I felt that I could use "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to stir up some speculation. To be honest, I said that I wanted to break into Hollywood, but I didn't have enough confidence in my heart. Now, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for more than a year, this moment is finally here!"

Chinese films want to enter the North American market.It is very difficult, and American companies will only operate according to their ideas. After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular all over the world, "Butterfly Effect" was bought by New Line, but it was not released after waiting. Wan Xiaohu sometimes wondered whether New Line had forgotten the movie.

Even Wan Xiaohu tragically thought that the new line might have to be hidden for two or three years, just like the previous track, Zhang Yimou's "Hero" was forced to be hidden for two years before it was released.

Fortunately, the new line is not so delayed.

And the first shot is also a good start.

It made Wan Xiaohu feel that everything happened too suddenly, with an inexplicable surprise.

From November 11th to 9th, with the good results of the first week, "Butterfly Effect" was expanded to 11 screens in the second week. With the attention of Wan Xiaohu and many domestic media, "Butterfly Effect" lived up to expectations and won 2305 million Dollar's weekend performance, ranking third at the box office.

The total box office was 1782 million US dollars, becoming the best domestic film in North America, surpassing the 1627 million US dollars of "Super Cop" in North America, second only to the 1.28 million US dollars of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and the 3233 million US dollars of "Red Fan District". With [-] million US dollars, it ranks third in the box office of Chinese-language films in North America!

The mdb score is maintained at 8.2, with 10280 audience ratings, and it is also a Chinese-language movie that has received the most praise. Of course, with the release and end of the movie, this score will definitely drop a lot.

Naturally, Mtime.com announced the data immediately.

"Who is the future of Chinese-language films? "Butterfly Effect" earned US$1105 million in its second weekend in North America, and its total box office was US$1782 million, ranking third among Chinese-language films. This is the answer!" Very coquettish.

When this data is sent out.

The originally calm Hong Kong media couldn't sit still, and the set of "Infernal Affairs" became lively again, and they all asked to interview Wan Xiaohu.Many mainland media also flocked to Hong Kong, wanting to interview Wan Xiaohu.

Wan Xiaohu didn't mind sharing such a proud moment with the media.

Agreed to interview request.

"Wan Dao, your "Butterfly Effect" has achieved crazy results in North America, making you one of the most successful Chinese directors. Will you take advantage of the trend and enter Hollywood to make movies?"

Wan Xiaohu thought for a while: "This result can't be called crazy, it's just average in North America. As for going to Hollywood to make a movie, I haven't considered it yet."

"Mainland directors have always been good at winning awards. As an alternative director, we know that you are not very good at winning awards, and your works rarely win awards. What do you think of this difference between business and art? "

"I think that no matter what kind of movie you make, good-looking is the most important thing. You can be popular or not, or you can be popular or popular, but you must not make a movie that is not popular and not popular. Art and business are not opposites. , film itself is an art."

"Guide Wan..."

0176【Infernal Affairs Unsheathed】

""The Butterfly Effect" rewrites the crisis situation of Chinese film." - "Chinese Film News".

On the eve of joining TO, at a time when filmmakers are worried, domestic films can be described as external and internal troubles.Hollywood has already taken advantage of TO's international rules to target the Chinese market, while local directors are still worrying about how to make a movie that can improve the box office.

This year, a US co-production film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li An has made Chinese-speaking films popular in North America, giving filmmakers a glimmer of hope. It is said that a blockbuster film is also being prepared.

But this does not solve the dilemma of domestic films. Not every domestic director can raise hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.Even many directors can only choose to shoot movies with hundreds of thousands of RMB.The dilemma of domestic films still hangs over the heads of every person who engages in and cares about domestic films.

Some wailed that the wolf is coming, some shouted that Hollywood is about to fall to the country, and some called for more restrictions on foreign films. Under all kinds of pessimism, a "Butterfly Effect" was born.

When it was released in the mainland, "Butterfly Effect" was highly hyped and eventually achieved a good box office, but many filmmakers dismissed this movie.Lack of human care, no sci-fi scenes, a real love story sold in domestic sci-fi, and logical loopholes, you can tell countless things about this movie.

But it is such a movie that Chinese filmmakers disdain. It was officially released on a small scale in North America on November 11. Once it was released, it exploded. In the past two weeks, 2 million U.S. dollars, completed the Jedi counterattack, and became the best domestic film in North America. The results have also become the third place in the box office of Chinese-language movies in North America. The score on the American website IMDb is 1782 points, which is the top sci-fi genre.

Applause and seats.It is eye-catching.This is not the blockbuster "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It only has an investment of 600 million RMB.This is a domestic science fiction movie!

When this achievement is reported back to China, one can imagine how much sensation it will cause. "Butterfly Effect" represents a possibility, a future of domestic films.Professor Zhao Yangxin from the School of Sociology of Peking University said: "The Butterfly Effect is not a Chinese movie in the traditional sense, but its success has great reference significance for Chinese movies as a whole."

Xie Jin, director of Nortel's director department, said in an interview: "Wan Xiaohu is the best student of Nortel in recent years. He is a typical example of Nortel's transition from focusing on artists to balanced development in film education."

The senior film and television media person [Gu Shulin] said: "When we look at a phenomenon, we must connect the cause and effect. The reason why "Butterfly Effect" became popular in North America has something to do with the popularity of localization in the past few years. The upsurge of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is now a phenomenon in North America, because TO will make China more integrated into the world. Their audiences are eager to learn about the rising eastern power, and they will pay attention to China's movies."

For this, our reporter rushed to Hong Kong specially to interview director Wan Xiaohu who is filming "Infernal Affairs".Wan Xiaohu calmly looked at his North American breakout work this time.

"I am also very surprised to have such a good result, but I don't think we need to care whether Hollywood accepts Chinese films. Going out is a very good expectation, but we have not yet established our own market. Our movies are still rootless duckweed. Going out now is more like following the trend. Without its own global positioning, it is impossible for Chinese movies to affect the world. Now Iranian movies are very good, and some people make them for domestic movies. Look, some of them are filmed for international viewing, but in fact we make too few films for domestic viewing.”

When the reporter asked about Wan Xiaohu.He belongs to the type of film for whom. Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "I am a person with a very unique idea. I like to shoot everything. I have not yet formed my own style. Now I am more inclined to make commercial films. I only study making money and do not study art. , domestic or international, as long as someone reads it.”

After interviewing Wan Xiaohu, the reporter had mixed feelings.

There are more than tens of millions of Chinese filmmakers, but in the end we have to use a director who is only 21 years old to comfort us and let us know that Chinese films are not empty words. The success of "The Butterfly Effect" may be just a fluke, but it does give domestic films, Chinese films, and Chinese films that have fallen into a trough, a hope.

The country has used 20 years of opening up to overcome poverty and hardship. Why can't the Chinese film use ten years to reverse its decline?We have the veteran fourth-generation directors, the fifth-generation directors who are as good as the sun, and the first-generation directors who are up-and-coming and vigorous. Why worry about unexpected events?

Perhaps the reporter can summarize and look forward to it in one sentence at the end.

The rise of Chinese films began with a batch of commercial films like "The Butterfly Effect" and a batch of new star directors like Wan Xiaohu!

……

On the Hong Kong studio, Wan Xiaohu is still obsessed with the filming of "Infernal Affairs".

In the mainland film market, "Crazy Stone" has caused a storm of stones. An unknown film with no big stars and no big directors. With only a little poor publicity, it is born in the era of rampant piracy. Decadent now, in just one month, it has won a box office of 3700 million yuan.

Although it is a little weaker than Wan Xiaohu's several films, it is still a beautiful victory. With the popularity of multi-line narrative, Ning Hao rises like a comet.

As a producer and screenwriter, Wan Xiaohu is as bright as a star.
