"Do you know Wan Xiaohu?"

There is a market where there is demand. After "Wanted Order" won the weekend box office championship, Jessica Alba quickly became the flower of the United States, attracting the attention of thousands of young men, and becoming the dream lover of the national level. Although Chen Kun, a Chinese, is not very popular, still has an American fan club.

Even the villain Chen Daoming has his own American fans because of his gloomy performance and the domineering aura of Yifangboss.

As the director, Wan Xiaohu naturally has a surge in the number of fans.

But a large number of people did not know who Wan Xiaohu was before the "Wanted Order". Therefore, the famous American magazine "Variety Show" published an article under the title "Do you know Wan Xiaohu?"

"In this Christmas period, the happy comedy of the family is no longer a favor. A Chinese movie from opposite the earth has become a well-deserved dark horse at the box office. This is the R-level action film "Wanted" released by Paramount, released by China-US co-production, Sasha Entertainment and Dandelion Movie."

"The first weekend's painting score was 65.4 million US dollars, becoming the best Chinese film in Hollywood. The director of this film is the famous Chinese director Wan Xiaohu, a 24-year-old Chinese director!"

"There are no fewer Chinese directors in Hollywood. Li An, who won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", has made many movies; Wu Yusen, director of "Face Change" and "Mission Impossible 2", Yu In-tai, director of "The Ghost Bride", "State 51" and "Freddy vs. Jason", and Huang Yiyu, director of "Death is Coming".

"Of course, these directors, either Chinese, or from Hong Kong and Taiwan, actually let us know about the mainland of China, had only one Zhang Yimou, but now there is Wan Xiaohu."

"This Chinese director is a standard post-80s generation. He was born in the rural area of ​​Jiangdong, China. At the age of 18, he was admitted to the highest film institution in China, the Beijing Film Academy. In his second year of university, he filmed his first movie "Waiting Alone". This is a very small film, with less than 70,000 US dollars. But he got a box office of nearly 2.5 million US dollars."

"In the same year, Wan Xiaohu filmed another second movie, "Butterfly Effect" cost less than $1 million. This is also the first time that Hollywood and Wan Xiaohu were electrocuted. The box office in North America was 21.8 million US dollars and 45 million US dollars worldwide. The following year, the sensational Asia "My Savage Girlfriend" was filmed, which also cost less than $1 million US dollars, and achieved 46.5 million US dollars worldwide. It is worth mentioning that this movie was remake in Hollywood, although it failed."

"In 2002, Wan Xiaohu filmed his graduation work "Infernal Affairs", a film that made him famous. It received widespread praise in Asia, sweeping all the major awards in Asia and establishing his title as a top-tier Asian film master. There are many film companies in Hollywood that want to purchase copyright remakes. At this time, he was only 22 years old."

"In 2003, Wan Xiaohu started filming two movies at the same time. One was China's World War II-themed film "The Sound of Wind". "The Sound of Wind" achieved the highest box office of Chinese-language films in mainland China. It was also the year's "Saw" that shocked Hollywood. This is Wan Xiaohu's first time directing a Hollywood movie. At a cost of $2 million, it has won 103 million worldwide, making the whole world admire him!"

"In 2004, Wan Xiaohu challenged the $60 million blockbuster "Wanted Order"..."

"Looking at Wan Xiaohu's experience in directing movies, it is a legendary story that everyone will be surprised by. The success of this young man is unreplicable. In four years, seven movies have made a lot of money. In China where movies are behind, this is something that Zhang Yimou cannot do."

"In addition to the artistic nature of the movie, Wan Xiaohu's position in the Chinese film industry is unparalleled. He is the best commercial film master in Asia. Every work is a representative work. "Butterfly Effect" is a classic cult film, "Saw" is also a classic cult film, "My Savage Girl" created a barbaric style of love sketches, "The Sound of the Wind" has become a model of Chinese main theme films, and "Infernal Affairs" is a classic exploring human nature and identity! Even his debut work "Waiting Alone" has many remarkable points."

"If Wan Xiaohu is an American, then he is the best interpretation of the American dream, he is from grassroots and relies on struggle to gain fame and fortune. Even in China, he is also an absolute idol of countless people. Now he is using the "Wanted Order" to hit Hollywood, and Wan Xiaohu's prospects in Hollywood are bright."

"Let us look forward to this star of tomorrow from China!"

Hollywood is the center of the world's films. Countless directors come here to prove themselves. Hollywood has countless agency companies, collecting good actors and good directors from all over the world to help them enter Hollywood and then make money by themselves.

In theory, anyone has a chance to succeed here.

Because Hollywood businessmen only ask for money. As long as you can bring money to them, you are the cats and dogs, and they also advocate you wildly and help you package them.

Now Wan Xiaohu is full of all possible business opportunities.

"Variety Show" is not the first media to praise Wan Xiaohu, nor will it be the last one. As long as the public pays attention, they will continue to hype Wan Xiaohu. At least now, Wan Xiaohu has a huge attraction and deserves their hype.

"tiger, do you know you are very popular now? I think you should sign a brokerage company as soon as possible and ask them to help you manage your business affairs. Do you know that there are countless big brands now, such as Armani, Calvin Clay, Patek Jade, Vacheron Constantin, who have asked us if we know your broker's phone number." Andrew Brown, general manager of Sasha Entertainment, said exaggeratedly.

As a professional manager, Andrew had not had a good time before, otherwise he would not have been willing to join a small company like Sasha Entertainment, which has no good office environment, no business operations, and no fixed employee positions.

But who would have thought that in less than two years, Sasha Entertainment produced "Saw" with a box office of 103 million yuan and "Saw 2" with a box office of 148 million yuan, two small-cost and high-box office movies, and they won't make too much money. Now, "Wanted Warrant" has been sold globally. Sasha Entertainment's prospects are golden.

As the general manager, Andrew feels that he is the hero favored by God, and Wan Xiaohu is the character of God!

The principle he set for himself was to think what God thought and to be anxious about what God wanted.

However, Wan Xiaohu was not interested in this: "Andrew, I do need a team to manage my career. But it's not an endorsement or something. I am a little different from others. I don't lack money, so there is no need to endorse the gods. The team I need is to help me manage promotional programs, movie preparations, private itineraries, and safety protection."

"Don't worry, tiger, leave it all to me. I will definitely hire a perfect assistant team for you!"

The assistant team is something that Wan Xiaohu has been preparing for a long time. Now he is becoming more and more famous, richer, more and more status, and has a higher box office. He will also make movies more and more blockbusters without a professional and skilled team. Many things are difficult to develop.

Any big director has a team with great combat power around him.

What's more, Wan Xiaohu is both a big director and a big boss, and he will soon buy a plane, a yacht, and a luxury house... There are not too many things, and there are not too many assistant needs.

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, from December 31, 2004 to January 2, 2005, the box office results of the "Wanted Order" in North America were released.

"The first week of "Wanted Instructions" sniped "Meeting in Father-in-law 2", and the next week of "Wanted in Father-in-law and son-in-law joined forces to tear off the wanted order! This week of "Meeting in Father-in-law 2" reversed with a slight advantage, snatching away the throne of defending champion "Wanted Instructions".

"Last week's dark horse "Wanted Warrant" fell one place this week, ranking second in the box office list with US$38.1 million, with a total box office of US$132.5 million. It surpassed the $128 million of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". It became a new box office record for Chinese movies in North America and also became the most popular foreign language film in North America!"

"Wan Xiaohu created a new legend. He is the most outstanding business director outside of Hollywood!"

In order to wait for global box office data, mtime Time Network deliberately adjusted the box office data to Wednesday, January 4th. Because China is 13 hours behind the United States, the United States released the data on Monday, and it is Tuesday when it comes to China. With the modification of the calibration data, the global data statistics can be completed on Wednesday.

"The new era of Chinese-language films, the time when Wan Xiaohu's rule!"

"Last week, the Chinese blockbuster "Wanted Order" directed by Wan Xiaohu, won US$38.1 million in North America's three days weekend, a decrease of 41.7%, and has accumulated US$132.5 million in North America so far. In Hong Kong, a single week of HK$12.4 million, with a total box office of HK$22.6 million. In South Korea... in Singapore..."

"On January 1, "Wanted Order" was released in major theaters in mainland China. On two days of weekends, it won 31 million yuan, creating the best record of opening paintings in the mainland film market! So far, the global box office accumulated 112 million US dollars in a single week, winning the global box office weekly championship again, and the total box office of "Wanted Order" accumulated 207 million US dollars!"

"The Wanted Order has surpassed Heroes for $177 million, catching up with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for $213 million, and is about to become the most popular Chinese film!"

"My bullets will turn, and my box office will fly the plane!"

"No one can say what step the "Wanted Order" will go, but everyone knows that Wan Xiaohu has already reached the top in one step!"

mtime Time Network has used its super flattery methods.

At the top of the page, a poster of Wan Xiaohu and "Wanted Order" was specially made. On the left is Wan Xiaohu holding a trumpet in his hand and directing on the set. On the right is a group still of the actors of "Wanted Order", with a shiny 2.07 in the middle, and a rising red arrow was drawn.

Below is a paragraph of text.

"I represent a kind of hope!"

This is Wan Xiaohu's speech in the auditorium on February 16, 2003, on the first day of the school opening of Beijing Film Academy.

"Junior brothers and sisters, I am here today and I want to encourage you. Someone who advocates that you can't do it anymore, you must stand up and show it to him. Chinese movies will inevitably rise. I hope it will not be in the hands of those who stand and speak without aches, in me, in you, in the hands of those of us who really like and look forward to Chinese movies."

It has been two years since Wan Xiaohu has not broken his promise.

A few years later, people will comment that the rise of Chinese films began with something. Then, the speech of the Beijing Film Academy in 2003, the sound of the Wind reached the top in 2004, and the global attack of the "Want Order" in 2005 are definitely unavoidable symbols.
