"Bullets" tops Chinese box office

    BEIJING, Dec. 20 (Xinhuanet) -- Local cinema-goers have been braving the winter's chill over the weekend, flocking to see actor-turned-director Jiang Wen's latest offering "Let the Bullets（子弹） Fly" ("Rang Zidan Fei").
    The movie, which opened on December 16, has made a strong debut¹ at China's box office.
    The period dramedy, starring Jiang, Chow Yun-Fat, Ge You, and Carina Lau, took in about 60 million yuan (US$9 million) on Saturday alone, overtaking "Avatar's" 57 million yuan for a single day take.

Despite its strong opening, "Bullets" is expected to face some stiff competition from "Aftershock" director Feng Xiaogang's upcoming film "If You Are the One 2" ("Fei Cheng Wu Rao 2") which opens on December 22.(本文由在线英语听力室整理编辑)
