Self-made films thrive
'老男孩'成最熱網(wǎng)絡(luò)視頻

Old Boys, a 43-minute online film, topped the list of the 25 most-viewed videos on the video sharing website Youku.com, beating famed director Zhang Yimou's latest blockbuster Hawthorn Tree Forever. No one anticipated the success of the independent film, which has attracted more than 22m hits since its Oct 28 debut. Telling a story about 2 middle-aged male zilches and their juvenile dreams, Old Boys was applauded as the "must view film for post-80's", because it has triggered the ebullition of memories and complexities long buried in the heart of many post-80's or even -70's.(See photo)
