What is the name of the movie in English?

The movies that come out of Guollywood will at first makes sense in Chinese, but don't expect a direct literal translation of the movie title into English. The guess work involves will stump even the most capable translator. For example the movie 白銀帝國 is not "White Silver Empire", it's The Silver Valley. Why? Don't ask me. Nobody knows. That is just the way it is. This is a highly inefficient system. Why not just have one domain name. Guollywood.com and be done with it. The time and the energy saved will be tremendous.
