"The Heroines of the East" succeeded in its first battle, taking in US$50 million at the box office in Asia in its first month, almost squeezing out the box office potential of the Asian film market.
This box office miracle was criticized and belittled by Japanese filmmakers, but the media in Hong Kong and Taiwan were full of praise. .
He will return to Taipei the next day. Wang Zijun will hold a celebration banquet to celebrate the box office exceeding 50 million US dollars in his villa in the Mid-levels. Even Wang Zijun from Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest sent invitations.
When Leyun arrived at the villa in the afternoon, the chef Wang Zijun hired had been busy for a while. As evening approached, cars drove through the large iron gate of the villa, and some invited media reporters excitedly clicked their shutters on the celebrities.
Huang Jiaju and others came in He Chaoqiong's car. Today's performance at the celebration banquet can be regarded as their first step on the road to fame.
After getting out of the car, Huang Jiaju and the other two were carrying musical instruments inside. The reporters were obviously not interested in them, but focused their cameras on He Chaoqiong, who was coming in the same car.
Hong Kong¡¯s paparazzi are very familiar with this gambling king¡¯s daughter. A few years ago, He Chaoqiong was hotly discussed for filming a TV series on TVB.
"Miss He, why did you come to the celebration banquet of "The Three Heroines of the East" today? Are you good friends with Director Wang Zijun?" He Chaoqiong was surrounded by reporters before he took a few steps.
Wang Zijun has a friendship with the ghost king Ye Han, and Ye Han has a quarrel with the gambling king Stanley Ho; Wang Zijun and Shao Daheng have a lot of disagreements, but Shao Daheng has a bad relationship with the gambling king. Look at it from the perspective that the friend of the enemy is the enemy. The relationship between Wang Zijun and the gambling king should not be very good, but He Chaoqiong, the daughter of the gambling king, came to attend Wang Zijun's celebration banquet, which reporters couldn't help but think about.
Especially Wang Zijun¡¯s romantic reputation, reporters naturally thought about that: Did Wang Zijun also have a crush on the gambling king¡¯s daughter?
He Chaoqiong didn¡¯t like to deal with the media, so he pushed the reporters away with a sullen expression.
"Three heroines are here!" a reporter shouted, and others turned their attention away from He Chaoqiong.
Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Ira Claudia are the three most dazzling stars this summer. All three of them are complete newcomers, but because of Wang Zijun's movie, they rose to the top and became top movie stars.
The three girls went to the banquet together. It was obviously arranged. No matter what their relationship was in private, they had to act like good sisters in front of reporters.
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?? but the three ladies are wearing evening dresses today, looking elegant, gentle and touching.
"Limei, do you have any shooting plans in the second half of the year?"
"Ms. Yang, is your relationship with Mr. Pan true?"
"Claudia. I heard that you dumped your boyfriend after you became famous. Is this true? Questions began to bombard you. The three agents' assistants quickly helped to block the way, and finally managed to deal with it. .
Xiang Huaqiang and Manna came over arm in arm. Although Manna is relatively well-known among Hong Kong's wealthy circles, she doesn't show much publicity. So not many reporters know her. However, she appeared with Xiang Huaqiang, and the relationship between the two was so close, which immediately aroused the attention of reporters and asked about her origins.
Along with Xiang Huaqiang and Manna, there were also Xiang Huasheng and Huang Yumin. The latter two were both veterans of Yongsheng Film Company when it was founded.
Not long after, Zhuge Mao, Mecca, Shi Tian, ??Huang Baiming, Teddy Robin and others from New Art City also arrived, as well as Li Kesheng, general manager of Wang's Cinema Line, Huang Xizhao from DreamWorks Entertainment Ventures and others.
Neither Shao Daheng nor Zou Wenhuai, who received Wang Zijun's invitation, came, but they asked Fang Yihua and He Guanchang to attend the celebration banquet on their behalf.
Fang Yihua and He Guanchang arrived at the same time. After getting off the car, they saw each other looking at each other and smiling. But this smile is somewhat bitter.
"The Heroines of the East" was fully invested by Wang Films. Now it has sold 50 million US dollars in Asia in one month, which has already broken the box office record. Even when "Titanic" was released in Asia, it was not like this fierce.
Not only that, even in the Indian market, where Chinese-language films have been unable to sell, I heard that some Indian film producers have recently been contacting Wang, hoping to introduce "The Three Heroines of the Orient" to India.
The aesthetics of Indian Asan have strong colonial characteristics. Everything is in line with Britain and the United States. As long as Wang Zijun's movies sell well in Europe and the United States, they are basically imported into India.
But in the past, all the films sold in India were produced by Longhu Film Company. Except for "Titanic" and "Ghost Story", the others did not sell very well in India.
How many major film bases are there in India?, the movies produced are in different languages, but the mainstream ones are Bollywood movies. Bollywood movies often last several hours and are filled with a large number of song and dance elements, causing foreign movies to often fail at the box office in India. Because Brother Asan felt that a movie with no singing and dancing and a length of just over an hour was not worth the ticket price.
The prospect of "Three Women from the East" entering India is unclear, but this is an important start. It is unprecedented for an Indian film company to take the initiative to introduce a Chinese-language film.
If Chinese-language films can successfully enter the Indian market with a population of hundreds of millions, then Wang Zijun will be a major contributor to the expansion of the city and territory for Chinese-language films.
Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers are old enemies, but now that Shaw Brothers has stopped making movies, and even the theater chain in Hong Kong has been sold, only a few hundred theaters in Nanyang are left, so all the hatred has become a thing of the past.
Fang Yihua and He Guanchang walked into the banquet hall chatting all the way. Zhong Chuhong, Zeng Zhiwei, Ye Yuqing and others came over to greet them.
Fang Yihua saw Pan Disheng coming and joked: "Master Pan has made a good deal this time."
??Yang Ziqiong is Pan Disheng¡¯s girlfriend and his contracted artist. Wang Zijun made Yang Ziqiong famous, which is indeed a good thing for Pan Disheng.
Fang Yihua¡¯s words were so meaningful that people couldn¡¯t figure out whether she was congratulating or teasing her. However, in Pan Dickson's ears, these words turned into irony. During this period, some gossip tabloids were still rumoring Wang Zijun's affair with the three heroines, which made Pan Dickson very unhappy.
"When it comes to doing business, I can't compare to Miss Fang." Pan Disheng sneered.
" These words were filled with resentment. The Shaw Brothers Cinemas chain was originally going to be sold to Dickson Poon, and the two sides were almost at an agreement. As a result, Xiang Huaqiang stepped in and offered 8 million Hong Kong dollars higher than Pan Dickson. Shaw Bros. broke the verbal agreement and sold the theater chain to Xiang Huaqiang without saying a word.
Pan Di was so angry that he vomited blood, and Fang Yihua was very angry.
Seeing the anger in the two people's words, He Guanchang, an old fox, immediately left and went to chat with his old friends, so as not to be hurt by standing nearby.
The sky is getting dark, and the celebration banquet is about to begin. There are so many beauties in the banquet hall that can dazzle people.
This was the first time for Huang Qiusheng to participate in such an occasion. At this time, he was not the old fox or hooligan he would become later, but a true literary young man, staying alone in the corner rather shyly.
¡° Even more at a loss than Huang Qiusheng is Le Yun, who has just become Wang Zijun¡¯s personal secretary. This 19-year-old girl had seen this kind of scene before. She couldn't name any of the people here, but Wang Zijun asked her to go down and greet the guests.
Le Yun was wearing a long black dress. Not only did the high heels on her feet make her uncomfortable, but the exposed area on her back also made her feel cool.
Le Yun stood hesitantly in the center of the banquet hall. Her tall figure and seductive eyes attracted a lot of attention. Many men were already eager to strike up a conversation.
Most of the guests Wang Zijun invited this time were people from the film industry, including bosses, producers, directors and actors. Even the photographer Du Kefeng came.
Wang Sanri, who didn't know where he got the invitation, his eyes lit up when he saw Le Yun. This fat man didn't have much grace, so he walked up to her and asked, "What is this lady's name?"
Le Yun did not dare to offend Wang Zijun's guest casually, so she quickly replied: "My name is Le Yun, the music lover."
"So it's Miss Le. She really lives up to her name." Wang Jing smiled a little obscenely, "I think your appearance is very suitable for a movie I'm currently imagining. Are you interested in auditioning?"
According to Wang Jing¡¯s opinion, this woman, whom he has never heard of, is probably a young actress from New Art City or Jiashi. She has gone crazy trying to become famous. He, Director Wang, took action and used the movie as a temptation, so naturally he was able to catch it.
Le Yun didn¡¯t know who Wang Jing was, let alone his father¡¯s background, so she refused directly: ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I¡¯m Mr. Wang¡¯s secretary now and I don¡¯t have time to make movies.¡±
"Which Mr. Wang?" Wang Jing asked.
Le Yun said: "That's Wang Zijun."
"Uhhehe, Miss Le, you are busy, there is a friend over there looking for me." Wang Jing laughed a few times and ran away with an excuse. Even if he had a hundred courages, he would not dare to date Wang Zijun's woman.
Tsui Hark, Wu Yusen and Shi Nansheng were sitting together and chatting. The two bored men were even betting on whether Wang Jing could succeed in picking up girls, but it didn't take long before Wang Jing fled back in despair.
"What, are you deflated?" John Woo asked.
Wang Jing was speechless and said: "Guess who that woman is?"
Tsui Hark smiled and said: "Who doesn't know how to do it?"?Some rich man¡¯s daughter? "
Wang Jing smiled bitterly and said, "She is Wang Zijun's female secretary."
Although Shi Nansheng has a carefree personality, she is still a woman. He frowned and said: "This Boss Wang is talented and rich, but that's the only problem. Women are like a revolving door."
"It is inevitable that talented people will have quirks." Wu Yusen put in good words for Wang Zijun. He failed to make several movies, and no one dared to use him as a director. As a result, he took the script to Wang Zijun's DreamWorks Entertainment Ventures some time ago, and actually got millions of filming funds, and he also promised to help He contacted the extremely popular Zhou Runfa to be the leading actor in the new film "A Better Tomorrow".
This alone is enough to make Wu Yusen have a great impression of Wang Zijun. What does it mean to have more women? As long as you don't use strong and despicable methods It's another Valentine's Day. Lao Wang wishes that all lovers in the world will be brothers and sisters! Mouth.
