Previous page Return to Catalog Next page
- Although elements such as friendship, love, and justice can transcend language and national boundaries, truly good movies will be recognized wherever they are shown, such as "Titanic".
But movies like this are rare. Whenever European and American audiences watch Asian movies, they are mainly looking for novelties. The only ones that sell well are kung fu, ghost, horror and other genres, but none of them really rely on emotion to win.
In a parallel space, Spielberg's "et" had a North American box office of more than 430 million U.S. dollars; while Wang Zijun filmed it two years later in this time and space, and the North American box office of "et" barely exceeded 100 million.
This is Wang Zijun's only movie that plagiarized the original work, and the box office result was far lower than the original film. In the final analysis, it is because "et" does not meet the American audience's demand for Oriental fantasy viewing - because the selling points of "et" are aliens and virgin friendship.
The result is that "et" received high praise from film critics, but because it is full of Asian faces and there are no mysterious kung fu or oriental ghosts, most Americans are not interested.
This time, Wang Zijun completely followed the appetite of European and American audiences in "The Three Heroines of the East".
You want to see Kung Fu, right? Okay, let me present it to you in its original form. There are not only mysterious Chinese boxing techniques, but also the popular Muay Thai, Filipino stick skills and Japanese karate. When it came out, it even showed Indian yoga.
The costumes inside are also diverse. The three heroines each changed into seven or eight sets of clothes, in addition to modern clothes. The cheongsam with a sudden female figure also appears many times, followed by the Japanese kimono. The soundtracks in Macau, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Tokyo also have an oriental charm, using ancient Chinese music and traditional Japanese music.
Not only that, Wang Zijun also showed off his Chinese calligraphy skills in the film, which to Westerners, is like ghost painting.
It can be said that although Wang Zijun is catering to the appetites of European and American audiences, there is nothing catering to the situation. It is not half Chinese and half Western. The oriental elements in the whole movie are absolutely authentic.
After the Venice Film Festival, "The Three Heroines" will be released in Italy at the end of the month. It immediately triggered a movie-going craze, which was far more sensational than when "et" was released more than two months ago.
The novel settings of the three heroines break the established stereotype that women can only be used as vases in action movies. What's more, these three women all have devilish figures and are thorny roses with great skills.
The combination of beautiful women, violence, and the rich oriental exoticism in the film fascinated the Italian audience.
What followed was a wave of Oriental fever in Italy.
First, Italy¡¯s number one actress Monica Bellucci attended an event wearing a hot silk cheongsam and murdered countless reporters¡¯ films. And it dominates the headlines of various entertainment pages.
Then, two of Italy¡¯s most famous fashion magazines featured cheongsam at the same time, which attracted Italian socialites to compete to customize cheongsam. For a time, Italy¡¯s rare cheongsam masters became a treasure.
This cheongsam craze, with the release of "The Three Heroines of the East" in other European countries, quickly spread throughout Europe, and even women wearing cheongsam appeared in the Soviet Union countries.
Except for the cheongsam. Items such as kimonos, writing brushes, lanterns, folding fans, calligraphy and paintings are also rapidly becoming popular, but most Europeans buy them for decoration and hang them on the wall to give them a somewhat oriental charm.
With the support of this shareholder enthusiasm, the box office of "The Three Heroines of the East" quickly exceeded 100 million in Europe. And it is still continuing to surge.
The news spread back to Asia. Asians in various regions felt that it was a shame to hear that Oriental fever was popular in Europe. Most of the Japanese filmmakers who originally criticized Wang Zijun changed their tune and began to praise him. Some Japanese magazines even said that Wang Zijun loves Japanese culture very much. He has done extensive research on Japanese karate, tea ceremony and flower arrangement.
"The Yomiuri Shimbun" directly praised Wang Zijun as a promoter of Eastern culture and thanked Wang Zijun for bringing Japanese kimonos and folding fans to Europe.
Hong Kong and Taiwan media are not to be outdone, praising Wang Zijun as a film genius who knows the psychology of Western movie audiences and understands both East and West. Otherwise, how could Kurosawa's "Ran", which cost nearly 3 billion yen to shoot, be released in the United States for more than a month and only make a pitiful box office of more than one million U.S. dollars. Wang Zijun's "The Three Heroines of the East" was released in various European countries for a month. The box office has already exceeded 100 million.
However, an article in the French "Cahiers du Cin¨¦ma" explains the mystery in one sentence: "The craze caused by "The King's Angel" (the Western translation of "The Three Heroines of the East") in Europe is partly due to Zachary Wang's operation methods. It is overwhelming. Not to mention the promotional advertisements, the two Italian fashion magazines that featured cheongsam, and Monica who specially wore cheongsam to attend events, no need to analyze it.?Zachary Wang's idea. It is rumored that the British Princess Diana wore a cheongsam to participate in a charity event last month, which was what Zachary Wang meant. As long as the princess showed up in a cheongsam, Zachary would donate 5 million pounds to the Royal Marsden Hospital. Provide free treatment to cancer patients. This cunning Asian director took advantage of Princess Diana's kindness to create a very successful advertisement for his movie, so much so that now the streets of Paris are full of women wearing cheongsam"
Wang Zijun paid Princess Diana to do disguised advertising, and it didn¡¯t take long for the princess to personally admit it. Facing reporters, Princess Diana said: "I really like "Angel of the King". When I was a child, I also dreamed of being a heroine like the three heroines. When someone from the distribution company came to me and said that Zachary invited me By doing advertising, I thought that just by changing my clothes, I could help many cancer patients, so why should I refuse?¡±
As soon as this interview report came out, Princess Diana's kindness was widely praised, and Wang Zijun became a disgraceful character in this story - a profiteer.
Profiteer!
Yes, profiteer is another position people give Wang Zijun.
This year¡¯s ¡°Forbes America¡¯s 400 Richest List¡± was released in early October. The new richest man in the United States is Sam Walton, the founder of Walmart, with a personal net worth of US$5.8 billion.
? ?What¡¯s funny is. There is a special note at the end of this rich list: Zachary Wang, who owns Paradise Electronic Technology Company, Paradise Games Company, Dragon Tiger Film Company, Free Will Records, Industrial Optical Magic Company, and Carmichael Cinemas He is also a shareholder of Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Microsoft, Apple and other companies. His personal assets are approximately over US$6.5 billion. Because Zachary Wang is not an American, and not all of his businesses are in the United States, he is not included in the "List of the Four Hundred Richest People in America." Also: This magazine will add a "Global Rich List" next year.
Forbes has had a huge influence on the world since it withdrew from the "400 Richest List of America" ??three years ago. Last year, the Wall Street Journal still estimated Wang Zijun's assets. This time, Forbes magazine directly stated that Wang Zijun's assets were over US$6.5 billion, which was much higher than the data published by the Wall Street Journal. Suddenly there was an uproar. .
Especially Forbes magazine listed Wang Zijun¡¯s name separately in the rich list. And because of his special case, a list of the world's richest people was added, which sounds like a legendary novel.
After Hong Kong and Taiwan magazines learned the news, many newspapers and magazines directly copied the entire list, and then put various titles on it¡ª¡ª
"The list of the 400 richest people in the United States is released, and the new richest man's assets are not matched by Wang Zijun"
"Wang Zijun beats the richest Americans and retains the title of the world's richest man"
"The Oriental Dream of Wealth, Chinese Entrepreneurship Idol Wang Zijun"
¡¡
Reports about Wang Zijun are like this. There is often no news about him for more than half a year. Once there is news, it will be a big news, and other celebrities, rich and senior officials at the same time will have to give him permission to publish it.
Looking at this report, the happiest person in the world is none other than Le Yun's mother Luo Fengying - it turns out that Luo Lie was not just lying, Wang Zijun is really the richest man in the world.
Luo Fengying held a magazine in her hand and read it again and again. Her daughter had been "hidden in a golden house" by Wang Zijun for more than a month. The last time I called, I said that Wang Zijun sent me to the University of Hong Kong to study, but there was no news after that.
Luo Fengying was very anxious. The money in her hand was almost running out. If she didn't get some from her daughter, she would be kicked out of the rental house. Of course, if you can move to a big villa with your daughter. It's okay to be kicked out.
Luo Lie lazily asked Luo Lie for the address of Wang Zijun's villa. Luo Fengying packed up her luggage and moved there with her son without saying a word.
The mother and son got off the car outside the villa and rang the doorbell for a long time before the phone next to the door rang.
"Who are you?"
"I am Le Yun's mother, and I'm here to see my daughter."
"Sorry, Miss Le will only come back at night."
"Then open the door for me. I'll go in first and wait for her."
"Sorry, I can't open the door without the permission of the villa owner."
"I told you, I am Le Yun's mother, and I am the owner of this villa. Open the door quickly!"
"Sorrybeep"
The call was hung up immediately, and Luo Fengying was so angry that she cursed inside, but no one answered her at all.
A Ferrari sports car stopped behind Luo Fengying. Guan Zhilin stuck her head out of the car and frowned: "Madam, if you curse again, I will call the police."
Luo Fengying recognized Guan Zhilin at a glance as the Taiwanese policewoman in "The Three Heroines of the East". She didn't know the relationship between Guan Zhilin and Wang Zijun.The stinky face that had just been scolding suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Miss Guan, you are Ajun's friend. Come help me talk to the people inside and ask them to open the door quickly."
"Who are you?" Guan Zhilin asked.
Luo Fengying said: "I am Leyun's mother, and my daughter is Ajun's girlfriend."
It¡¯s okay not to mention Le Yun, but when she mentions Le Yun, Guan Zhilin gets angry. This was originally her and Wang Zijun's love nest, but a vixen who jumped out of nowhere came to live here, which made her feel very uncomfortable living here now.
Fortunately, Wang Zijun gave her another super mansion worth 8 million Hong Kong dollars. It has been renovated and can be moved in at any time. This vixen is out of sight and out of mind.
Today, Guan Zhilin drove over to take away some things from the villa and move them into a new mansion. But I didn't expect to encounter such an outrageous thing. The vixen's mother actually wanted to move in with her luggage. Did she think this was a hotel?
"Hurry up, or I'll call the police!" Guan Zhilin didn't like Le Yun at first, but now she hates Le Yun's mother too. Listening to Luo Fengying's Cantonese voice, we knew that she was from mainland China, and she threatened, "Hong Kong law states that anyone who curses and blocks the door outside a private residence can be imprisoned."
Luo Fengying was really frightened when she heard this, and she pulled her son out of the way with a guilty conscience.
Guan Zhilin smiled proudly, held the remote control and pressed the door, and the door of the villa opened automatically.
Seeing this scene, Luo Fengying and her son were stunned. They thought that a big mansion was different. Even the door was automatic, which made them even more determined to move in.
However, why can Guan Zhilin come in and out of here at will? Is she also Wang Zijun's little wife?
¡°I¡¯m barefoot and not afraid of people wearing shoes. If you dare not let me in, everyone will be deadlocked and you, a slut, will be published in the newspapers!¡± Luo Fengying thought fiercely, and took her son to sit outside the gate and wait for her daughter to come back.
At Taipei Airport, the three girls Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Ira Claudia, who had just returned from an event in Europe, were surrounded by fans and reporters as soon as they got off the plane.
Since "The Three Heroines of the East" hit theaters in Europe and set off a wave of oriental craze in Europe, the three actresses who have only made one movie have become well-deserved oriental angels in the eyes of Western audiences. In Asia, the three of them are also very famous. After their trip to Europe, they directly became the three most popular actresses in Asia.
There are less and less negative news about the three girls. No one calls Lizhi a mainland girl or a northern aunt anymore, and no one mentions the fact that Ila dumped her boyfriend after she became famous. In addition to the people carrying people in sedan chairs, because of these negative reports, fans of the three people would be furious as soon as they came out. Those extreme fans even dared to pour gasoline directly on the editor's house.
????????????? After traveling around Europe, things are really different. Half a year ago, the three girls were a bit rustic, but now they look and smile like international superstars.
"Miss Claudia, I heard that the French Prime Minister invited you to have dinner. Is this true?"
"Miss Lizhi, what do you think of the title of Oriental Goddess given to you by Italian movie fans?"
¡°Miss Yeung Tse-chiung, does the Malay royal family really want to award you a medal?¡±
""
The three girls were in quite a splendid mood at this time. Wang's Pictures arranged seven or eight bodyguards for them, plus a few personal staff, to protect them and leave.
After signing more than a dozen names, the three women finally got on the bus smoothly, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
The three girls traveled around Europe for a whole month. Naturally, their bodies were extremely exhausted, but their moods were very happy. These days in Europe, they are being sought after by movie fans wherever they go, which they could not have imagined before.
Especially for Yang Ziqiong, the Malaysian royal family even revealed that they would confer a title on her and become a noble. It can be described as overjoyed.
This time the three girls came to Taipei specially to attend the Golden Horse Awards ceremony. Their red carpet show will be the biggest selling point of this Golden Horse Awards.
