bookmark, this movie should be watched

For the first time in Chinese film history, "Chasing Shadows" premiered last night. After 141 minutes, all I could say was: "This movie was a steal." Jackie Chan used MetaMask to sign 30,000 USDT, Zhang Zifeng wrote her mnemonic phrase on her underwear and burned it, and Tony Leung Ka-fai yelled, "The police can't freeze on-chain assets." This was the first time a Chinese film used crypto as the core narrative, not just a background piece.
It passed censorship because it defined the currency as a tool, while the main theme remained the pursuit of the criminal. The Hong Kong co-production and overseas locations also provided leeway for the censorship.
The details were impressive: the main chain was Ethereum, with flashbacks featuring BTC and Tron; all props were original—Ledger and Tornado were used; the mnemonic phrase was BIP39, and the candlestick charts were TradingView. The technical consultant was clearly a seasoned investor.
Tony Leung Ka-fai became a legend, playing the on-chain money laundering king, Zhao Chongwu. He hid a cold wallet in a fish tank, locked up a $200 million DAO with multiple signatures, and even broke a Ledger to force a palace. This geek-meets-gangster critique is a first for Chinese films. Easter egg: The end credits block height 20601723 points to the ENS domain "fengying2026.eth," signaling a sequel.

Think of it as a cool film for those outside the industry, but don't bring in girls within; regulators are watching to freeze plot points, while peers are copying art. A 2013 ban silenced film and television; by 2025, private keys, candlestick charts, and mnemonics will fill IMAX screens—the demystification of crypto in Chinese film and television officially begins with this film.
