"The master of Chinese-language film science fiction was born, and "The Butterfly Effect" ignited a storm of science fiction."

According to our report, Huayi Brothers invested yesterday, and "Butterfly Effect" directed by young mainland director Wan Xiaohu went to Hong Kong for screening. Our reporter was fortunate to be invited to watch the movie. "The Butterfly Effect" is a sci-fi movie about the fact that people can go back to the past and change the history of the past, thus affecting the present.

Each of us will fantasize that we can change the past to make the current state better, or hope to live another life and become another person. This movie reflects this idea and the result if we do so.

Su kept changing his past choices, hoping to find a perfect future.But things backfire, often leading to a more tragic ending.Human beings once carried away their knowledge of themselves, thinking that they were God, and eventually they will still recognize the various limitations of nature, but it is this limitation that embodies the meaning of life, the meaning of choice and effort.

When we look back on the past, we will naturally regret our past mistakes, but it is these mistakes and these paths that make our personality; it is these pains that make us feel the unforgettable life.

This is a Chinese-language sci-fi movie with full sincerity. We can feel the director's determination to forge ahead from the movie. With a sci-fi that can be compared to Hollywood, it declares that Chinese-language movies have real sci-fi movies.We have even more reason to believe that the master of Chinese-language film science fiction was born today!

After reading Ping Lu in "Sing Tao Daily", even though Wan Xiaohu had a thick skin, he couldn't help but feel red, which was too highly praised.

but.

"I like it, haha." Wan Xiaohu smiled triumphantly while holding the newspaper.

Putting down "Sing Tao Daily", Wan Xiaohu picked up "Oriental Daily" again. Similarly, the reporter of "Oriental Daily" gave a brief introduction to "Butterfly Effect", and then praised it a few words.

Finally, here comes the editor's summary.

"Actually, I like the ending more than the movie itself: 'The parallel multiverse of Quantum Mechanics explains that in the garden of cross paths, there will always be a road that allows people to be happy at every point of life, On that road of complete happiness, there is one and only one of you walking.' What a relief, in every deep-rooted choice, there is always one of you who chooses the right road. In the universe, there is always one you, who will live happily ever after. May all lovers in the world finally get married!"

"This reporter is quite provocative, not bad."

After reading "Oriental Daily", it was the turn of "Xin Bao".

"Watching the movie "Butterfly Effect" this time gave me an infinite impact. It turns out that there are also sci-fi movies in Mandarin-speaking movies. Especially this is not a rough-made movie, but a sci-fi movie with a solid theoretical basis, a rigorous structure, and a challenge for the brain." The story. The most shocking thing about this movie is that after watching the first half, you can’t understand it at all. You will suddenly realize it when you reach the middle part, and you will be so shocked that you can’t speak at the end. It turns out that everything is like this , why should it be so, should be so, so it is!"

"The author once watched director Wan Xiaohu's debut film "Waiting Alone", which tells about the pursuit of love between urban men and women. "Effect" changed my mind, this is a talented director, I have reason to believe that Wan Xiaohu will bring more surprises to Chinese films in the future."

At the end of the touting, "New News" also listed several interviews, all of which were the stars and directors who were watching the movie at the time.

Wang Jing: "Actually, I think "Butterfly Effect" is very similar to a German movie "Run Lola Run". It is not about the content, but the creativity. They are both types that change the timeline and change the future. However, it is obvious that "Butterfly Effect" is deeper, more complex, and more impactful than "Run Lola Run", and it is a rare sci-fi masterpiece. I recommend everyone to watch it. Of course, I don't know when it will be released."

Liu Zhenwei: "Director Wan Xiaohu and I had a brief exchange of words before watching the movie. He said that "Butterfly Effect" is a realistic version of "A Chinese Journey to the West". After the movie, I was ashamed, he was the real sci-fi player, and I could only play nonsense."

Liu Jialing: "The movie is very good-looking and I like the ending. I heard from the director that there is a dark version of the story that will be included in the future director's cut version. It is best not to, Su and Yu Na have suffered so much, they deserve a A happy ending. This ending is enough."

At the first screening, they were invited, and they were basically celebrities and reporters who had a good relationship with Universal Films, Meiya Films, and Huayi Brothers. Naturally, the news on the second day was full of praise.However, these praises are not all aimed at Hong Kong readers, but mainly for the introduction of mainland readers.

"Xiaohu, the start is very smooth." Wang Zhonglei is also browsing today's news, "The fourteen newspapers invited yesterday were all praises. Even if the favor is removed, it shows that the movie is very good. I will arrange it later. The mainland newspapers reproduced the Hong Kong media's report on "The Butterfly Effect" and created a good thing."

"Brother Lei, how do you arrange the show time?"

Wang Zhonglei put down the newspaper and said: "Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival will be held in late October, Taiwan Film Golden Horse Awards will announce nominations in November, and awards will be presented in December. Let's set the time for November. If we win, we can take advantage of the wind of the awards. , create some momentum again."

"Right."

Wan Xiaohu nodded. Wang Zhonglei is a professional, and he knows better than him when it will be released.

With the good reviews from Dian Ying, Wan Xiaohu will not worry about the next release, and concentrate on playing in Hong Kong.It’s rare to come to a capitalist society. If you don’t criticize this miasma, how can you be worthy of your status as a socialist successor.

In the next few days, Wan Xiaohu's footprints were all over the streets and alleys of Hong Kong.

After the three screenings ended, a wave of "Butterfly Effect" was set off in Hong Kong.

The movie has not yet been released, and it is already highly anticipated and watched.

"New Daily": "Whoever said that science fiction is exclusive to Hollywood (Hong Kong translation, refers to Hollywood), Wan Xiaohu, a young director from mainland China, went to Hong Kong for promotion of science fiction films, and received great acclaim."

"Report": "The Thirteenth Aunt Guan Zhilin will perform the sci-fi "Butterfly Effect" in the mainland after "Huang Feihong"."

"Ta Kung Pao": "A sci-fi movie that can be called a masterpiece, "The Butterfly Effect."

"Can Bao": "Absolutely, after watching "Butterfly Effect", you will definitely become stupid, and you can't extricate yourself from it. At that time, the whole person was completely stupid. The actors have greatly improved the original value of this work! This is a masterpiece worth savoring carefully, and one of the best movies in the new millennium!"

"The Ring Triple News": ""The Butterfly Effect" has multiple clues repeated and multiple endings intertwined. What is commendable is that a science fiction theme leads to a set of ethical paradoxes. Although the scientific nature is slightly flawed, the director's perfect control is really wonderful."

Of course, if there is praise in the media, there will be criticism and abuse as well.

"** Times": "Maybe the author is stupid. After watching it, I didn't understand what the director wanted to say. The movie is as puzzling as the name "Butterfly Effect."

"Gongjiao Daily": ""The Butterfly Effect" is just a simple mapping from b to b, there is no chain reaction or amplification process. This movie can't find faults, because the logic of the story can't be found at all."

"The Sun": "The Butterfly Effect is an insult to my impression of sci-fi movies. Back in time is just shaking the camera, and there is also the scene where the main character breaks his arm. Can it be more fake? The editing method It needs to be improved urgently, and the low-cost investment cannot be so shoddy."

Wan Xiaohu likes to watch the news that the media touts, and he also carefully reads the criticism and insults.If you are right, then you can improve it next time, and those who talk nonsense and spread rumors will be directly blacklisted.

However, Wan Xiaohu really felt wronged by the report of The Sun.

Originally, "The Butterfly Effect" was not a sci-fi film in the traditional sense. It only had a theoretical core and no sci-fi scenes.When consciousness travels back, there is nothing to say at all. Shaking the camera is already interesting enough.Speaking of broken limbs, indeed, it was only repaired a bit, and no special effects were done.

But as a sci-fi film with an investment of only 600 million, how else can it be pursued?

Special effects burn money, and millions of yuan are burned every minute. If special effects are really made, there will be more than 1000 million yuan, which cannot be taken down. Huayi Brothers dare not invest in a sci-fi film worth more than 1000 million.

Putting aside this little depression, in general, the four screenings are over, and the expected results have been achieved.Not only can it build momentum in the mainland, but it has also attracted many publishers in Southeast Asia to come to their door and ask for the purchase of distribution rights.Wang Zhonglei is holding off for the time being, and will wait until the mainland is over before starting overseas releases.

Huayi Brothers can account for 8% of the box office share in the mainland, while overseas can only account for 5%. In the face of rampant piracy, of course we must choose to ensure that there are no pirated copies when it is released in the mainland.In the Southeast Asian market, the market share is too small, so it can only be ranked last.

Wan Xiaohu had no objection to this.

He didn't look at the mainland market and the Southeast Asian market at all. He only valued two places. One was Japan.The other is the United States. If you can enter the United States to make a fortune, not too much, 3000 to [-] million U.S. dollars is enough.

Today's one dollar can be exchanged for more than [-] yuan and [-] cents, and it can be screened in the United States, not to mention making money, just the reputation is earned.

The one-week trip to Hong Kong has finally come to an end.

On October 10st, the National Day, Lin Xiaoming from Huanyu personally sent Wang Zhonglei and Wan Xiaohu to the airport and got on the plane going north.

The plane climbed rapidly and flew above the blue sky and white clouds.

Wan Xiaohu put on the blindfold and lay down comfortably.

After a visit to Hong Kong, it is not enough to become famous, but it is a rewarding experience.

"Butterfly Effect" became famous, and "Infernal Affairs" also got it. What could be more rewarding than this time?

----------------

(This chapter was posted ahead of time. I was in a bad mood this afternoon, and my application for recommendation by Sanjiang was rejected again. Alas, the biggest regret of the old book "Legend of the Director" is that I haven't been to Sanjiang. Now "The Rising Great Director" will be released next week Arranged to be put on the shelves, and there is no chance to continue to apply for Sanjiang recommendation. It is a bit annoying, maybe my writing is too bad.)

(let me calm down)
