European and American countries have done a good job in dealing with issues such as human rights.
And for European and American theater chains, the traffic of movies also means money.
A lot of people went to see "Hearing Girl", and the praise was getting more and more popular. Many deaf-mute people also went to watch the movie. Although they couldn't hear or speak, almost everything in the movie was It's a sign language performance, so it won't be particularly difficult for everyone to watch.

"The domestic box office of "Hearing Girl" grossed 54 million, breaking all records in the history of Chinese films since the launch of the November schedule."
"To understand the story behind "Hearing Girl", we specially interviewed the domestic director Guan Ling. Please see the news below:
Hello Director Guan, may I ask you about the opportunity behind the creation of "Hearing Girl" What is it? And why do you want to go to the United States for filming?
Hello, host, I want to tell you this question from the bottom of my heart.
First of all, the filming of this movie. , the main purpose is to draw attention to the deaf-mute group, but also to focus on family relationships
Nowadays, many parents of families do not pay deep attention to the hearts of their children, and this movie also wants to focus on expressing this Guan Ling. This society needs prosperity and democracy, but also civilization and harmony, and the latter two must start from the family.
As for why we went to the United States for filming and filming, many netizens on the Internet are also confused about this. I just use this platform to explain it.
China’s film industry still has a long way to go compared to Hong Kong and Hollywood.
It is not that Chinese film practitioners do not have the potential to develop abroad.
If you want to expand the influence of Chinese films, you must first learn other people's techniques and make use of other people's platforms. There was a saying in China, which is to learn from the foreigners and develop skills to conquer the foreigners.
I think the same is true in the film industry. I believe that one day in the future, Chinese films will be able to shine in the world film industry.
I believe that this is also what the Propaganda Department, the General Administration and China Film and other groups are looking forward to.
Many directors from Mainland China, Hong Kong and Taiwan have made some efforts, and I am willing to persevere for this goal.
This "Hearing Girl" is my first attempt, and I want to do my best. "After the news was broadcast, there was a wave of news on the Internet, and some netizens went crazy,
"I also cursed Director Guan for using American actors instead of Chinese actors. Now it seems that I really deserve to die!" Now it seems that I am too young and the structure is too small!”
“What is Huayi? Compared with Guan Dao’s structure, Huayi is like a swan and a small bird!”
Originally, there were some comments about sensationalism and money fraud. Under each comment, a group of people started a scolding war.
Han Sanpin called Guan Ling, with a very encouraging tone, "Xiaoguan, thank you, you spoke my mind. Well done, well done!"
< br>What Guan Ling said on the news spoke to his heart.
Everyone called Guan Ling to congratulate, congratulate, test, and inquire. Only Zhu Yawen came to tease Guan Ling, "Guanzi, you have become the king of pretense."
"What the hell?" Guan Ling was a little confused.
“Look at me, some people say your ball protection is like Henry’s.” Zhu Yawen smiled strangely.
Guan Ling went online and opened Tieba. On the Diba Tieba, which was famous for the 621 incident, someone tentatively gave Guan Ling a nickname.
"A small force shut down a great director, sweeping Europe and the United States into turmoil"
In an instant, this title was uploaded everywhere on the Internet.
“The great director is defeated by meager strength”
“Force the king!”
“Force the king!”
There are queues below, and there are still people attached I saw screenshots from Jiao Enjun's TV series, in which Jiao Enjun said that he was not very eye-catching.
Then Louis Koo was also uploaded. His lines were that he looked ordinary.
The face of the world-dominating Second Meng was also uploaded. The lines above were: I I cover my face because I look ugly.
Guan Ling's head hurt when he saw it, and he accidentally became the king of bullying.
In the third week, due to the high publicity from all walks of life at home and abroad,
The domestic box office remains stable, while the foreign box office rises instead of falling. The domestic box office has exceeded 85 million, and the foreign box office has grossed 46.8 million US dollars worldwide.
It is a certainty that the foreign box office has exceeded 100 million US dollars!
Fox Searchlight has gone crazy. According to predictions, the global box office of this movie may fluctuate around 200 million US dollars.
Guan Ling created a miracle.
And they also created another blockbuster movie after "Little Miss Sunshine"!
A dark horse at the box office!
Hollywood, countless studios, producers, and distribution companies are beginning to focus on the director of this movie.
Guan!
This man, a Chinese, wrote the script of "Hearing Girl" and directed "Hearing Girl". As the soul of this movie, he once attracted everyone's attention!
They dug up information about Guan Ling. This director directed four movies in China in one year, and they became hits every step of the way. In one year, he became one of the most famous directors in China.
At the same time, Columbia, a subsidiary of Sony, announced that the copyright of "Shark Beach" they purchased from Guan Ling will be remade and adapted in the United States. If Guan Ling is willing, they are even willing to offer the directing rights. It is a good idea. Take advantage of the popularity of "Hearing Girl".
Sign him!
Many Hollywood companies have come up with this idea. He may be the next Ang Lee!
The Big Six began to inquire about Guan Ling's contact information. Even big companies were attracted by Guan Ling's magic. With low cost and high returns, no company could refuse this magical director.
Before the fourth week, Twentieth Century Fox called:
"Guan, when will this project start in 2012? We will pay immediately."
