0175 [Butterfly takes off in North America]

"The countdown to the five numbers, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, Akh God!"

"Be careful."

In the elevator, Liang Chaowei held Liu Dehua and slowly pressed the elevator door.

"Be careful." Lin Jiadong held the gun and pointed at the two of them nervously.

Wan Xiaohu stared at the monitor, his eyes lit up and he shouted: "Card! Perfect, this is the effect."

Huhu, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

This scene took two days to shoot, and I tried all kinds of performance methods, and finally I heard Wan Xiaohu shouting.

This set of shots is a scene where Chen Yongren dies.

There are two scenes in "Infernal Affairs" that are key roles. One is that Huang Zhicheng, played by Anthony Wong, fell from the building and fell on a taxi, and the other is that Chen Yongren, played by Liang Chaowei, was shot and killed in the elevator by Lin Jiadong.

The death of two good police officers undoubtedly raised the depth of the movie to a height that all police and gangster films could not reach.

The original scene designed by Mai Zhaohui and Zhuang Wenqiang was both killed in the elevator.

However, it was rejected by Wan Xiaohu.

Huang Zhicheng's death must highlight the tragic emotions, and throwing it from the upper floor is the best effect. This can separate from Chen Yongren's death, thus ensuring that Chen Yongren's death is unique. One seems tragic because of the policeman's identity, and the other seems restrained because of the undercover identity, with a hint of relief and a hint of desolation.

Moreover, according to the script, Liu Jianming, played by Liu Dehua, arranged this shooting. However, in order to take into account Liu Dehua's image, the design was changed and the character was positioned as being helpless and a policeman who wanted to be a good person. In order not to be out of touch with the previous and subsequent texts, Wan Xiaohu spent a lot of effort on the expression of the character Liu Jianming.

We must not only be liberated to be a good person, but also be cruel to those who use any means.

In Wan Xiaohu's opinion, as long as you do this, Liu Dehua will definitely have more hope to win the Best Actor.

In the previous track, although Liu Dehua performed wonderfully, he lost to Liang Chaowei in the Golden Horse Awards and the Golden Horse Awards, which has to be said to be a pity.

Wan Xiaohu was unintentionally biased by anyone. But both of them were so tragic that it was interesting.

It can be difficult for the Golden Horse Golden Picture judges, but also cause huge quarrels between the media and fans. What a good publicity method, right?

"Andy Lau, Wei Zai, you two will definitely have hope of winning the Best Actor next year. Now I can be sure, the Golden Horse Awards and the Best Actor Awards for the Golden Horse Awards. I want to choose one of you! "Infernal Affairs" will lock in the grand prize in advance."

Liu Dehua wiped his sweat and asked with a smile: "Xiaohu, then who do you think Weizai and I have a better chance?"

"I'm puzzled by this question, you guys are the best."

After filming the top of the rooftop duel, Chen Yongren was killed in the elevator. The most classic scenes in the entire "Infernal Affairs" have ended. Wan Xiaohu stretched and finally felt the pressure on his shoulders. It completely dissipated, and he could feel the satisfaction of mastering everything.

"I'll shoot here today, let's finish the work."

"Andai, Weizai, do you have time? Let's go and finish the meal together?"

"Xiaohu, you treat me?"

"I didn't bring my wallet today. I'll invite you someday. You guys will invite you today."

“I didn’t bring it either.”

"So too."

"I'll choose, don't you have assistants? Let the assistant go back and get it."

"Xiaohu, don't forget. You have an assistant, too."

"Is that so? Haha, Xiao Xue has a low presence, I forgot it."

"Boss, I've been standing behind you for a long time..."

"So I said you have a low presence? Oh, forget it, I'll treat you tonight. Let's go."

Time flies.

It's November in a blink of an eye.

After a period of promotion, "Crazy Stone" was officially released in major cities across the country.

Another good news also followed. After a small-scale promotion, Xinyi Company finally arranged for "Butterfly Effect" to be released in North America. From November 2 to 4, 2001, 772 screens in North America were released, which was a small-scale release. However, it achieved an excellent box office result of US$4.56 million, squeezing into the ninth place in the box office rankings that weekend, with a single-screen box office of more than US$10,000.

On the authoritative American audience rating website IDB, "Butterfly Effect" received 2,645 reviews, with a rating of 8.4 points, and a very good reputation.

According to news from Wang Zhonglei, Xinyi has begun to discuss with the theaters to expand its release.

In response to this, Wan Xiaohu instructed mtime Time Network to release box office data as soon as possible.

After a year, "Butterfly Effect" was once again hyped up in the mainland.

"The Butterfly Effect" travels across the ocean and logs into North America, with a very good reputation of $10,000 per screen. The first domestic commercial film has won a box office of over one million dollars in North America!"

"Mainland director wizard Wan Xiaohu can conquer Hollywood!"

"The breakthrough work of domestic films in North America, "Butterfly Effect" aims at the box office of tens of millions!"

"In line with the market, "Butterfly Effect" has injected a needle into a strong heart for domestic films."

Many newspapers have published data released by mtime Time Network and have eye-catching titles.

Now the potential of this movie in the mainland has been tapped, and the genuine DVD images are no longer produced, and the copyright of the TV that should be sold has been sold. The only benefit that can be increased is that Wan Xiaohu's popularity remains high and his reputation has further increased.

This is to bring glory to the country!

Unfortunately, Wan Xiaohu is now in Hong Kong and cannot feel this kind of popularity.

Hong Kong filmmakers are not interested in the figure of 4.56 million US dollars. After all, Cheng Long's "Red Fan District" has earned more than 30 million US dollars in North America. If it weren't for the Chinese-language film, the media might not want to report it. At this stage, although Hong Kong films are in decline, there are still several directors who are famous internationally.

Wong Kar-wai's artistic achievements are masters. Wu Yusen's film "Mission Impossible 2" has exceeded 500 million US dollars worldwide. The Hong Kong media has too much to be proud of.

If "Butterfly Effect" failed to make any heat in Hong Kong, then there is even less news about "Crazy Stone".

China Film Group is not efficient in its work, and its results in the first week have not been counted for a long time. I just know that about 10 to 50 million yuan, and the total box office is not a problem. However, the movie has a very good reputation and a fresh multi-line narrative. However, the movie has become the news that mainland media is talking about.

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

On November 8, the nomination for the 38th Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards was announced. "My Savage Girlfriend" was only nominated for one nomination, which is the best original film music "i-believe". Mao Ning sings version. The Golden Horse Award sent an invitation letter, inviting Wan Xiaohu and others to participate, and Mao Ning was invited to sing songs at the Golden Horse Awards.

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

I don’t have my own nomination, so why are you joining in the fun in the past?

If you have this time to join in the fun, it is better to think about the filming of the movie. As the shooting progresses, the more copies accumulate, and Wan Xiaohu will spend more time on the copying.

Life continues.

More surprises are waiting!

"Xiaohu, it's amazing. Xinyi company called. The box office of "Butterfly Effect" was very well reflected. The movie viewing situation this week is the hottest among several low-cost movies. According to this situation, it will explode this week! Haha, you are really a scattered boy. You said you want to make money from the United States, so you went to make money!"

"Haha, I was just bragging at that time, and I felt that I could use "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to be honest. I said I wanted to enter Hollywood, but I didn't have enough confidence. Now, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. After waiting for more than a year, I finally waited for this moment!"

It is very difficult for Chinese films to enter the North American market, and American companies will only operate according to their ideas. After "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular around the world, "Butterfly Effect" was bought by the new line, but waited for it to be released. Wan Xiaohu sometimes wondered whether the new line would forget the movie.

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

Fortunately, the new line did not delay so much.

And the first shot was also a good start.

Wan Xiaohu felt that everything was too sudden and was inexplicably surprised.

From November 9 to 11, with the good results of the first week, "Butterfly Effect" expanded to 2,305 screens in the second week. With the attention of Wan Xiaohu and many domestic media, "Butterfly Effect" lived up to expectations and won a weekend result of US$11.05 million, ranking third on the box office list.

The total box office was 17.82 million US dollars, making it the best domestic film in North America, and surpassing the $16.27 million US dollars of "Super Police" in North America, second only to the $128 million US dollars of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and $32.33 million US dollars of "Red Agent", ranking third in the box office of Chinese-language movies in North America!

The imdb score remains at 8.2 points, with 10,280 viewers ratings, and it is also the Chinese-language movie that has received the most praises. Of course, with the release and end of the movie, this score will definitely drop a lot.

mtime Time Network naturally released the data as soon as possible.

"Who is the future of Chinese-language movies? "Butterfly Effect" in North America's second weekend was US$11.05 million, with a total box office of US$17.82 million jumping to the third place in Chinese-language movies. This is the answer!" The title is very cool, and it is even more stylish.

When this data is transmitted.

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

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

Agreed to the interview request.

"Director Wan, your "Butterfly Effect" has achieved crazy results in North America, making you the most successful Chinese directors. Will you go to Hollywood to make movies?"

Wan Xiaohu thought for a moment: "This result is not crazy, it's just average in North America. As for going to Hollywood to shoot movies, 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 big awards. What do you think of this difference between business and art?"

"I think no matter what kind of movie you are shooting, it is the most important thing to watch. You can be good or not, or you can be good or not, but don't make movies that are not good or not. Art and business are not opposites, movies themselves are art."

"Wandao..." (To be continued, please search Piaotianwen, novels are better, updated and faster!
