    "'The Butterfly Effect' rewrites the crisis of Chinese films." - "China Film News".  On the eve of joining the WTO, at a time when filmmakers are worried, domestic films can be said to be facing external and internal troubles.  Hollywood has taken advantage of the international rules of the WTO and is eyeing the Chinese market, but local directors are still worried about how to make a movie that can improve the box office.  This year, a Sino-US co-production "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" directed by Li Yu made Chinese-speaking movies popular in North America and gave filmmakers a glimmer of hope. For example, Zhang Yimou also began to imitate it and started filming the blockbuster "Hero".  Brother Chen Kai is also said to be preparing for a blockbuster movie.  But this does not solve the dilemma of domestic films. Not every Chinese director can raise hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.  Even many directors can only choose to shoot movies worth hundreds of thousands or millions of yuan.  The dilemma of domestic films still hangs over the heads of everyone who is engaged in and cares about Chinese filmmakers.  Some people cried wolf, some shouted that Hollywood is about to fall to China, and some called for greater restrictions on foreign films. Under all kinds of pessimism, a "Butterfly Effect" turned out.  When it was first released in the mainland, "The Butterfly Effect" was highly hyped, and it eventually did well at the box office, but many filmmakers dismissed the movie.  It lacks humanistic care, does not have any science fiction scenes, and sells domestic science fiction as a real love story. There are loopholes in the logic, and there are countless faults about this movie.  But it is such a movie that Chinese filmmakers disdain. It was officially released in North America on a small scale on November 2. Once it was released, it exploded. In the past two weeks, it has made 17.82 million U.S. dollars, completing a desperate counterattack and becoming the best domestic film in North America.  As a result, it has become the third highest-grossing Chinese-language film in North America. The score on the American website IMDb is a top-notch 8.2 in the science fiction genre.  It was well received and well received.  It's eye-catching.  This is not the blockbuster "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It only has an investment of 6 million yuan. This is not a movie starring Cheng Long, and it does not include Jet Li or Chow Yun-fat. It is not the martial arts movies or local movies that Chinese movies are good at.  This is a domestic science fiction movie!  When this result is reported back to China, you can imagine how big a sensation it will cause.  "The Butterfly Effect" represents a possibility and the future of domestic films.  Professor [Zhao Yangxin] from the School of Social Sciences at Peking University said: ""The Butterfly Effect" is not a Chinese film in the traditional sense, but its success has huge reference significance for Chinese films as a whole." Xie Jin, director of Nortel's Director Department, accepted  During the interview, he said: "Wan Xiaohu is the most outstanding student of Nortel in recent years. He is a typical example of Nortel's transition from focusing on art and humanities to balanced development in film education." And senior film and television media person [Gu Shulin]  ] said: "When we look at a phenomenon, we must connect the causes and consequences. The reason why "The Butterfly Effect" became popular in North America is related to the popularity of Chinese culture in recent years, and it also took advantage of the craze of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".  There is a phenomenon in North America now, because the WTO will make China more integrated into the world. Their audiences are eager to learn about the rising Eastern power, and then they will pay attention to Chinese movies. " In this regard, our reporter rushed to Hong Kong to interview.  Director Wan Xiaohu who is filming "Infernal Affairs".  Wan Xiaohu looked at his North American breakthrough calmly.  "I'm also surprised to have such good results, but I don't think we need to care about whether Hollywood accepts Chinese movies. Going global is a very good expectation, but now we haven't established our own market.  Our films are still rootless, and now going abroad is more like following the trend. Without its own cultural positioning, it is impossible for Chinese films to influence the world. Now, Iranian films are very good, and some people make them domestically.  Look, some people make movies for international viewing, but in fact we make too few movies for domestic viewing.¡± When a reporter asked about Wan Xiaohu.  He belongs to the type of people who shoot for anyone to see. Wan Xiaohu said with a smile: "I am a person with very unique ideas. I like to shoot everything and have not yet formed my own style. I am now more inclined to make commercial films and only study making money and not art.  , Domestic or international, as long as there are people watching,¡± 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 give us comfort and let us know that Chinese movies are not empty words.  The success of "The Butterfly Effect" may be just a fluke, but it does give hope to domestic films, Chinese films, and Chinese-language films that have fallen into a trough.  ??The country used twenty years of opening up to eliminate poverty and hardship. Why can¡¯t Chinese films use ten years to reverse their decline?  We have a veteran fourth generation director, a fifth generation director who is in full swing, and an up-and-coming sixth generation director who is high-spirited. So why worry about big things happening?  MaybeThe author can summarize and look forward to it in one sentence at the end.  The rise of Chinese films began with a group of commercial films like "The Butterfly Effect" and with a group of new star directors like Wan Xiaohu!  ¡­ ¡­ On the Hong Kong studio set, Wan Xiaohu was still obsessed with the filming of ¡°Infernal Affairs¡±.  In the mainland film market, "Crazy Stone" caused a storm. It was a little-known film with no big stars or big directors. It only relied on a little poor publicity and was born in an era of rampant piracy. In the era of rampant domestic films,  Now, in just one month, it has grossed 37 million yuan at the box office.  Although it is a little weaker than Wan Xiaohu¡¯s several movies, it is still a beautiful victory. With the popularity of multi-line narratives, Ning Hao rises like a comet.  As a producer and screenwriter, Wan Xiaohu is as bright as a star.  "Crazy Stone" is more or less a tribute to his mark, and "Butterfly Effect" has further contributed to the gold content of Wan Xiaohu.  Mtime has been red-lettered for many times.  "During the three-day weekend in North America from November 16th to 18th, "The Butterfly Effect" collected another US$5 million, with a total box office of US$23.6 million." "During the three-day weekend in North America from November 23rd to 25th, "The Butterfly Effect" collected US$210  "The Butterfly Effect" ended the three-day weekend in North America with US$950,000, with a total box office of US$27.05 million, becoming the highest-grossing Chinese-language film in North America.  In third place, the domestic film ranks first at the box office in North America. ""The Butterfly Effect" is very popular in North America, and its copyrights are very popular in many countries and regions such as Europe, America and Africa. As of the end of November, "The Butterfly Effect" will be released soon.  "The global box office is 37.25 million U.S. dollars." "The 21st century Chinese supernova director Wan Xiaohu's science fiction masterpiece is aimed at Europe, and he is looking forward to reappearing as a box office legend. Mtime is tracking the whole process!" As Wan Xiaohu's private website!  It is necessary to strongly support Wan Xiaohu. At the same time, the website must also do a good job in data statistics, as well as some small advertisements to slightly subsidize operating expenses.  ""Crazy Stone" has been fully screened in the mainland, with a total box office of 37 million yuan, temporarily ranking fourth in the mainland's annual box office. Second only to "My Sassy Girl" with 78.6 million yuan, "Pearl Harbor" with 52.4 million yuan, and "The Lost City"  "RMB 40 million. In addition, on December 21, director Feng Xiaogang will release "Big Shot" in the Lunar New Year movie. Welcome to watch the movie. "For a time, Wan Xiaohu was touted.  It seems that there are few people in the sky who are not found on the earth.  Age and achievements are all worthy of praise.  "Wan Xiaohu is so awesome. There is definitely a conspiracy. I don't believe that this person exists!" - A netizen with the ID of [asdjabd] on the Time Post Bar posted a rumor. He couldn't believe that Wan Xiaohu was so brilliant at the age of 21.  "Wan Xiaohu is my absolute idol!" [Xinhun] posted an admiration post.  "Everyone should take a calm view. Wan Xiaohu has no reputation abroad at all, and the "Butterfly Effect" in the United States is just for fun. Ten out of ten people don't know who Wan Xiaohu is." [Black Cigarette Butt] claims to look at problems rationally.  "Look at this group of unscrupulous media and ignorant viewers, they have made Wan Xiaohu a god. Not to mention Hong Kong's Wu Yusen, Wong Kar-wai, and Tang Jili dumped him, but mainland China's Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, and Feng Xiaogang also dumped him.  With his two skills, he can scare fools who don't know the truth. "[Duan Jian Sheng] despises the current hype.  "Don't insult my idol. My idol conquered Hollywood at the age of 21. Even a world-class director still has a runny nose at the age of 21. Bill Gates still needs funding from his mother at the age of 21." [Gunner] spoke up for his idol.  The hustle and bustle of the media, the hustle and bustle of the Internet.  Wan Xiaohu can feel it.  But I don¡¯t care.  There are too many phenomena like this in the previous trajectory. When a person achieves something, he immediately praises it to the heavens. Once he falls a little bit down, he is trampled down to nothing.  Therefore, although Wan Xiaohu was very happy in his heart, he was still filming on the set in a calm manner.  When interviewed by a reporter, he also said modestly that he was still young and had to work hard.  On December 18, the Golden Horse Awards came to an end. "I-believe" did not win the best original song. Of course, few people paid attention to whether a song from a movie won the award.  The filming of "Infernal Affairs" is proceeding in an orderly manner. Zeng Zhiwei has also returned from injury and the progress is making rapid progress.  December 25th, Christmas in the West.  A single has quietly landed on major music radio stations in the Chinese-speaking area.  "Today I want to play a new chart-topping song for you. The singer is absolutely famous. This song is the theme song of the recently popular fourth movie "Infernal Affairs" by director Wan Xiaohu. The movie is still being shot. This song  By Liu DeThe theme song of the same name sung by Hua Hua and Liang Chaowei allows everyone to feel the charm of the movie in advance.  " "No, I don't want it to end.  " "I'm not done yet.  " "The endless journey.  ""We are all in a hurry and forget the way out.  ¡± ¡°Pursue occasional satisfaction amid disappointment.  ¡± ¡°We are all liberated from the pain of waking up in dreams.  " "Wandering in dimly lit areas.  " "If you can't get to the end, you can return to the starting point" "" "Take your pick, "Infernal Affairs" is so on point.  "A taxi driver swayed to the melody of the song. "What's "Infernal Affairs"? Has Andy released a new album?  "The passenger who just got on the bus asked. "Oh, I don't even know "Infernal Affairs", you are OUT" PS: The monthly ticket has soared, I am really excited! Haha!
