Viral film 'Niu Lai' pushes A-share 'bull' stocks onto hot lists and fuels meme coin speculation

A surreal Chinese animated film called "Niu Lai" has spilled over from movie chatter into both the stock market and crypto trading. On Aug. 17, while mainland markets were closed for the weekend, A-share companies with the Chinese character for "bull" in their names climbed into the top five of Tonghuashun's hot-stock ranking, with Jinniu Chemical holding the top spot. Gongniu Group and Tongniu Information also appeared on the list. Online discussion quickly turned the movie into a so-called concept theme. Some users posted ticket stubs to show support for the film, while others warned that the related stock talk was purely sentiment-driven and carried clear risk. The movie itself also drew attention for lines and scenes that some investors said felt tailored to retail traders. The surge in attention extended beyond cinema and equities. According to Dengta Professional Edition, the film's box office has climbed from only a few thousand yuan in its early run to RMB 4.648 million, placing it in the top 10 of China's 2026 domestic animation box office chart. On-chain, a meme token with the same name on BNB Chain briefly reached a market cap of $29 million before dropping to $10 million and rebounding to $18.5 million, with 24-hour trading volume at $37.6 million, according to GMGN.

Dalian cinemas pull "Niu Lai" while the related BNB Chain meme coin stays active

Chinese animated film "Niu Lai" was removed from cinema schedules in Dalian on Aug. 16, the same day local theaters said they had been notified to stop screenings because the movie’s poor quality could affect the city’s image. The film has not been pulled nationwide, and most other cities in China were still screening it as usual, with several theaters saying they had not received any official notice. Online screenshots claiming that no new screenings would be added nationwide starting Aug. 17 remain unconfirmed by officials or most theater chains. Box office data from Dengta Pro shows the film has climbed into the top 10 for Chinese animated movies released in 2026, with revenue at 4.648 million yuan. It sits behind the No. 9 title, "Shuke Beta Zhi Weisuo Renlei," which has grossed 6.732 million yuan. Separately, GMGN data shows trading in the BNB Chain meme coin also named "Niu Lai" remained active, with $37.5 million in 24-hour volume, a market capitalization of $16.4 million, and a 24-hour gain of 223%, though it was down nearly 45% from its intraday market cap high of $29 million.

China’s viral flop animation ‘Niu Lai’ sends a same-name meme coin near $30 million on BNB Chain

Chinese animated film Niu Lai opened to almost no audience, posting just RMB 7,169 in box office revenue after nine days and selling a little over 200 tickets, according to BlockTempo. The film then took off online for the opposite reason studios usually hope for: viewers began sharing its rough visuals, awkward plot and stiff animation as a curiosity, pushing it into viral discussion. At the same time, a meme coin using the same name appeared on BNB Chain and surged sharply. GMGN data cited in the report shows the token, identified by a contract beginning with 0xbe...7777, launched on Aug. 13 and started a steep climb around 9 p.m. on Aug. 15. Its market capitalization briefly reached $29.06 million, with a 24-hour gain of more than 40x. The report also said the token had jumped into the roughly $26 million range overnight before falling back to around $20 million later in the morning. BlockTempo noted that the token has no authorization, partnership or endorsement from the film’s producers, director Xin Yumeng or the production company. The article also highlighted a mismatch between a roughly $1 million liquidity pool and a market cap above $26 million, warning that price swings could be extreme. Meanwhile, the film’s own commercial performance reversed sharply, with daily box office and screening counts climbing after the social-media backlash turned into attention.
