ETH/USD on TradingView.com Tell Me More About Wong Kar-Wai ‘s First
NFT Every time film critics vote, “In the Mood for Love’s”
name appears among the best films of the century. Its reputation
has only increased since the movie’s 2000 release. Along with Wong
Kar-Wai ‘s “Days of Being Wild” and “2046,” “In the Mood for Love”
is part of an informal trilogy. And now, a lucky soul can own a
digital representation of unreleased footage from the movie. In it,
the two main actors play different characters than those in “In the
Mood for Love.” How rare! The auction house describes the item as:
“The star lot of Sotheby’s Modern Art Evening Sale on 9 October is
the debut of Wong Kar Wai’s first ever NFT creation – “In the Mood
for Love – Day One” – edited from never-before-seen footage shot on
the first production day of the international masterpiece, “In The
Mood For Love” (2000).” And they quote Wong Kar-Wai himself,
saying: “Today, we are able to eternalize this first day in a
brand-new form. In the world of blockchain, this arrow can chart a
new course. Here’s to more of us that will live and chase that
first spark in every flash.” What Does The NFT Contain? This rhymes
with the whole Wong Kar-Wai trilogy in more ways than one. “In the
Mood for Love’s” main actors, but as completely different
characters. What a concept. “Unveiled for the very first time, the
NFT short film contains rare footage starring Tony Leung and Maggie
Cheung as characters utterly different from the iconic lovers in
the original film. This unique artwork celebrates the critical and
wondrous moment when a creative idea is first conceived, while
marking the first Asian film NFT ever to be offered in
international auction houses.” Will this extremely rare NFT that
has a concept behind it and it’s backed up by a legendary piece of
cinema break some records? So far, the world’s most expensive NFT
is Beeple’s “Everydays: The First 5000 Days.” Rival auctioneers
Christie’s sold it for $69,3M. That doesn’t mean Sotheby’s hasn’t
been part of the game. They sold CryptoPunk #7523, AKA Covid Alien,
for $11.8M. Related Reading | NewsBTC: Crypto Trading Course. For
