    Two years later, on May 31, 2016, at 11pm.  The pedestrians on the streets have gradually thinned out, but the entrances to the major cinemas in the capital are still overcrowded, and the queues can fill the entire street in front of the cinemas.  This kind of grand occasion can be slightly compared to when "Titanic" was released in China in 1998.  And this time, the reason why it attracted so many people was that they lined up to buy tickets in the middle of the night.  There is only one reason.  That is, it took two years of filming. Wan Xiaohu returned to the Chinese film industry with a lot of honors. He invited Andy Lau, Zhou Runfa, Chen Kun, Liu Yifei, Huang Xiaoming, Zhang Ziyi and many other Chinese superstars to join him to direct the epic mythical blockbuster "The Yellow Emperor"  , which will premiere at midnight.  Without much publicity at all, "The Yellow Emperor" has become a must-see movie for any Chinese this summer.  It¡¯s not just because of the record-breaking cost of 1 billion yuan for ¡°The Yellow Emperor¡±, it¡¯s not just because of the large cast of Chinese international superstars, and it¡¯s not just about a story about Chinese ancestors that even children know.  There are many other reasons, including that the director of "Yellow Emperor" is Wan Xiaohu!  One of the greatest directors in the world, an idol of the Chinese Dream who has influenced an entire generation.  For young people, you may not know who the Prime Minister is, but you definitely don¡¯t know who Wan Xiaohu is.  ¡­ ¡°Crazy, crazy, it¡¯s all crazy because of ¡°Yellow Emperor¡±!¡± One day later, Mtime announced the box office results of the midnight show of ¡°Yellow Emperor¡± with a bright red title.  The previous midnight show record holder was the 40 million yuan record set by "Transformers 4" two years ago.  But this time.  Everyone knows that "Yellow Emperor" will break this record.  But no one would have thought that it would be broken so completely.  "With 129.5 million yuan, "The Yellow Emperor" has created a record that is almost impossible to exist at midnight in mainland China!" "The whimsical mythical world, the charming legendary characters, the magnificent and unpredictable flowers and trees, the incredible birds and animals, are exquisite and perfect  The rhythm of the shots, the epic ancient battles, the ups and downs of the plot, everything makes the audience addicted to the ancient era created by "Yellow Emperor". "With the outbreak of the midnight show, the daytime on Children's Day on June 1st!  For a normal premiere, even on Wednesday, major theaters still opened nearly 80% of the screenings for "The Yellow Emperor", bringing the total number of screenings to an unprecedented 100,000.  And the box office on opening day.  It lived up to the theater's expectations.  334.6 million yuan in a single day, plus 129.5 million yuan in the midnight show, it took 464.1 million yuan in one day!  It has set box office records of the fastest breaking 100 million, 200 million, 300 million and 400 million yuan on a single day, Wednesday, and premiere day in mainland China's film history.  Five days later, the box office for the opening week was also released, with 246.8 million on Thursday, 267.8 million on Friday, 316.7 million on Saturday, and 295.6 million on Sunday, with a total box office of 1,591 million yuan.  Another series of records were set.  Single week, premiere week, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday, fastest breaking 5 1.5 billion yuan, 100 million, 200 million US dollars records, etc.  At the same time, it also started to be released in North America on June 3. It took in 85.6 million US dollars in the three days of the weekend, winning the weekly championship. It also set a box office record for Chinese-language films in North America during their opening weekend. ?¡­ ?Four months later.  The mainland and overseas tours of "Yellow Emperor" are all over.  Among them, the mainland won the championship for 6 consecutive weeks, with a final box office of 3,659 million yuan, equivalent to 596 million US dollars, directly surpassing the box office championship record of 1,975.08 million yuan held by "Transformers 4", increasing by nearly 1.7 billion.  North America also received US$346 million, setting a new record for Chinese-language films.  The global box office totaled 1.436 billion US dollars. It was the first Chinese-language film to enter the top ten in film history.  While being a huge success at the box office, "The Yellow Emperor" also has an excellent reputation.  Mtime¡¯s old time rating contains 782 film reviews, of which 749 are qualified, with a brightness of 96%, and the overall user rating also reached 8.8 points.  The IMDb score is 8.7, the highest score for a Chinese-language film.

Because it had no Hong Kong investment, it was a domestic film and could not participate in the awards. It won the Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film Award.  Then he won eight awards at the 17th China Film Huabiao Awards, including Outstanding Story Film, Outstanding Screenplay, Outstanding Director, Outstanding Actor, Outstanding Actress, Outstanding Film Music, Outstanding Cinematography, and Outstanding Film Technology.  Finally, it won the 31st China Golden Rooster Award for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, and Best Actor.  Grand Slam Awards for Best Recording, Best Art, and Best Music.  ¡­ The great success of ¡°Yellow Emperor¡± made Wan Xiaohu say goodbye to plagiarists.  In a true sense, I devoted myself to my career as a director.  Started to lay out other movies in the mythological system of ancient legend movies.  In the first phase, three movies and a 30-minute short film were shot at the same time, namely the sequel to "Yellow Emperor", "Yellow Emperor 2: The Battle of Yanhuang" and "Yellow Emperor 3: Dragon Totem".  and the prequel "Emperor of Fire: The Divine Farmer of Herbs" and the 30-minute short film "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang" tells the mythical background of the creation of the world in the prehistoric era and Nuwa's creation of man.  Among them, Wan Xiaohu only directed the short film "Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang", and the other three films were directed by directors Wu Ershan and Zheng Baorui, with Wan Xiaohu serving as the producer.  In the end, "Yellow Emperor 2: The War between Yan and Huang" achieved a global box office of US$825 million, and "Yellow Emperor 3: Dragon Totem" achieved a global box office of US$929 million, which was not as high as "Yellow Emperor".  But it is in line with expectations. After all, breaking one billion is not something that can be achieved casually.  ¡°Emperor of Fire: Herbs and Goddess¡± achieved a global box office of US$531 million.  All three films were successful, and the other two films in the first phase also started smoothly.  One is "Hou Yi: Shooting the Sun" directed by Chen Kaige, which earned a global US$422 million.  The other film was "Xing Tian Wu Qian Qi" directed by Chen Jiashang, which earned a global US$612 million.  So, the mythological system of ancient legends and movies.  The six movies in the first period ended perfectly, and the second period started with a bang.  ¡­ In addition to being the producer of various films in the ancient legends and mythology system, Wan Xiaohu also prepared and completed his second original film, "Walking in the Clouds."  This movie tells a romantic love story between the male lead, a down-and-out painter, who flies in economy class, and the second male lead, who travels in first class.  Because of a false plane crash, I met the heroine who accidentally went on a trip.  The three people gradually became entangled from each other's life circles.  The heroine likes the male protagonist who dreams of being a painter, but because of opposition from her family, she marries the second male businessman.     one year later.  Three people took a plane at the same time, and then the real air crash occurred.  The plane fell to the ground.  The captain decided to sacrifice his life and let the passengers parachute to survive. In the chaos, the second male was pushed off the plane first and parachuted.  The heroine couldn't find her parachute backpack because of the rush of passengers.  The hero gave up his backpack and put it on the heroine's back. The heroine was unwilling to accept it, and told her grievances and lovesickness this year, and decided to dance with the hero in the plane.  The planes gliding in the sky fell together and died.  The hero agreed and danced with the heroine, but at the end of the dance, he suddenly said in the heroine's ear: "If you love me, just live with my dream!" and then pushed the heroine out.  Plane Ten years later, the heroine, accompanied by the second male lead and a pair of children, held her own personal exhibition with the theme of "Walking in the Clouds".  In one of the paintings, a man and woman hold hands and dance above the clouds.  "Walking in the Clouds" is a standard commercial art film, with a fast commercial pace and gorgeous shots of blue sky and white clouds, as well as artistic connotations of love and thinking.  In the end, it achieved a global box office of US$887 million, and once again won Wan Xiaohu the Oscar for Best Picture and Best Director.  ¡­ After ¡°Walking in the Clouds¡±, Wan Xiaohu made several good movies one after another until he was forty-five years old.  The year is already 2025, 7D cinemas have begun to become a trend, and some people have begun to create interactive movies.    Wan Xiaohu also devoted himself to the pursuit of interactive movies. It took seven years to create a real movie "The Sims" that can change the plot at any time according to the audience's ideas.  This movie is very large, very beautiful and shocking, relying on ordinary 2D mode, 3D mode, and IMAX-3D mode, it has swept the global box office of 2.9 billion US dollars.  In the interactive theater, the audience can play different characters in the play and change different directions. It once caused global madness, and it still failed to meet the needs of the audience after two years of release.  Although the number of interactive theaters is small, it still took in a box office of US$1 billion.  Helped the total box office of "The Sims" to reach 3.9 billion U.S. dollars, beating the 3.4 billion U.S. dollars of "Avatar 4" and becoming the box office champion in film history.  In recognition of Wan Xiaohu¡¯s contribution to film technology, the Oscars awarded the 52-year-old Wan Xiaohu the Lifetime Achievement Award in advance.  This year, Wan Xiaohu¡¯s eldest son Wan Chengjun made his first movie.  This year, Wan Xiaohu¡¯s eldest daughter, Wan Juanjuan, took over the YouTube company.  This year, Wan Xiaohu's second son Wan Chengyang, under Su Ya's training, began to handle the affairs of the international giant Tiger Ruiya, and his second daughter Wan Pingping had just been admitted to Peking University.  The third son Wan Chengheng, under the influence of his mother Jessica Alba, began to study acting and prepare to enter Hollywood.  This year There are many more legends about Brother Tiger.  "But this book can only accompany you so far. Whether it starts but ends or ends badly, this is the life path of a great director. It has 1.27 million words, and Lao Bai can only write this.  It¡¯s very sad to give up, but it is necessary to write these three words!  The whole book is finished!  PS: (There is another chapter later.
