    Lin Zhengying's "Mr. Zombie" was released on Halloween in the United States and Canada. This is the first time a Chinese ghost film has landed in North America.

    Obviously, American movie fans are still a little uncomfortable with those Oriental vampires jumping around. Even if they entered the screening room out of curiosity or accidentally, when they saw zombies coming out to bite people, they would laugh endlessly because of their funny behavior and not be afraid at all.  look.

    ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT out out of the blue, as a ghost movie released on Halloween, "Mr. Zombie" was a complete failure. Not only did it not scare people, it actually made the whole house laugh.

    After entering December, Hollywood's Christmas blockbusters began to be released one after another. "Mr. Zombie", which was released for one month, had to be completely rejected. The total box office in North America was less than two million US dollars.

    This is already very good. Among the several Chinese-language ghost films that were released in North America during the same period, the combined box office revenue of the other films was not as much as that of "Mr. Zombie".

    "Three Heroines of the East", which sparked oriental craze in Europe, was also released in North America before Christmas.

    Since this film caused quite a stir when it was released in Europe, the American entertainment media began to speculate enthusiastically on how much box office "The Three Heroines" could sell in the United States.

    This Christmas, the box office favorites are Universal Pictures' "Out of Africa" ??and MGM's "Rocky IV."  The former has a budget of US$31 million, and the male and female protagonists, Robert Redford and Meryl Streep, are both big names; while the latter is a work directed and starred by super action star Stallone, whose summer's "First Blood 2"  " only took in 150 million U.S. dollars at the box office, and the first three "Rocky" films all sold well.  Movie fans have high expectations for this "Rocky 4".

    Wang Zijun's "The Legend of the East" was released two days later than "Out of Africa" ??and one day earlier than "Rocky IV". The fact that the three films were released right next to each other destined to make this year's Christmas movie smell like blood.

    "Out of Africa" ??only took in just over 2 million at the box office on its first day. However, the unanimous praise given by film critics caused its box office to start to rise rapidly in the following days, with the box office in the first week approaching 30 million.  As more and more movies were released during the Christmas season, the attendance of "Out of Africa" ??began to slowly decrease in its second week.  The weekly box office has not exceeded 20 million.

    After all, Out of Africa has different genres, but "The Heroine of the East" and "Rocky IV" are both action movies, and the fighting is even more brutal.

    Stallone is a super action star.  There are also many die-hard fans of Wang Zijun. The two movies competed to surpass each other at the box office, and the gap never exceeded 1 million.

    Two weeks have passed.  The box office of "Legends of the East" was US$46.17 million, and the box office of "Rocky IV" was US$45.82 million.  Although "Rocky 4" was slightly lower, after all, "The Three Heroines of the East" was released one day earlier, so Wang Zijun lost in comparison.

    But at this time, the media¡¯s evaluation of the two movies began to have an impact.

    As a sequel, and also the fourth sequel, film critics have said that "Rocky 4" is tasteless.  The passion and progressive spirit of the first three "Rocky" films were infuriating, but what about the fourth one?  The elements that should be used are already worn out, and they still go to fight with the Soviets. It is mixed with Cold War elements and patriotic sentiments, and the motives are quite impure.

    Discerning film critics made a direct judgment.  "Rocky 4" has ruined this movie series.  The box office of "Rocky 4" may be higher than that of the first three films, but the appeal of "Rocky" will be greatly reduced in the hearts of movie fans. Coupled with the audience's aesthetic fatigue, the box office of the next "Rocky" may not be satisfactory.  .

    As for the evaluation of "Three Heroines of the East", many film critics did not hesitate to praise it.

    In the film review column of "Hollywood Reporter".  A well-known film critic wrote: ""The King's Angel" obviously borrowed the idea of ??the TV series "Charlie's Angels". However, the Chinese director had a unique idea, with three beautiful oriental heroines, plus the original oriental flavor.  Music, costumes and culture, this makes Western audiences shine In this movie, Zachary perfectly uses the violent aesthetics he proposed a few years ago, and the design of the action scenes is completely different from the same type in Hollywood.  A few blocks of film As a purely commercial action film. The extremely gorgeous kung fu fights are so dazzling that people don't even dare to blink for fear of missing the exciting content"

    Entering the third week, American audiences who were a little tired of the "Rocky" series of movies began to abandon "Rocky 4" and pursue "The Three Heroines of the East", and the box office of the two movies quickly increased.

    Soon after New Year's Day, "The Three Heroines of the East" seemed to have been given a shot of blood, and the North American box office finally exceeded 100 million.  However, "Rocky 4" is even worse than the data in Parallel Space, with only more than 70 million, and its stamina is obviously insufficient.

    So far, "The Three Heroines", which is still in theaters, has a global box office of 230 million U.S. dollars, surpassing the already failed "et" by more than 60 million U.S. dollars.

    The success of "Three Heroines of the East" in North America is not justIt's just the box office, but it also heralds that after Bruce Lee, Asian action movies have finally entered the Western film world again.

    Not only Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Ira Claudia are remembered by American movie fans, but even the two Japanese villains Yasuaki Kurata and Shinichi Chiba are also famous in the United States.  As for Chi-Lin Kwan and Miyuki Nakajima, who play supporting roles, American film companies have successively invited them to play Asian roles.

    Asian media began to report extensively on the success of "The Heroine of the East" in North America, and the film's release in South America and India was also put on the agenda. It is expected to be released in March and May 1986 in both places.  .

    ??¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The success of "The Three Heroines of the East" gave Wang Pictures a great reputation, and the title logo of "Tiger Descending from the Mountain" was deeply imprinted in the minds of Western audiences.

    Wang Zijun himself breathed a sigh of relief and began to prepare for "A Chinese Ghost Story" unhurriedly.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT off Zhang Guorong's concerns and agreed to play the role of Ning Caichen, but a piece of gossip news completely wiped out his good mood.

    "Asia's number one director has another scandal, and the mysterious "mother-in-law" makes a big fuss in Hong Kong"

    The news first came from Singapore's "Lianhe Wanbao", which specializes in reporting gossip news. The original text is as follows: "According to a lady named Luo, the romantic director Wang Zijun, who has several beauties, has a close relationship with Hong Kong beauty Guan Zhilin. Not only does Guan Zhilin have free access to  Wang Zijun lives in a villa in the Mid-levels of Hong Kong, and his latest Ferrari car was also given by Wang Zijun

    Ms. Luo claimed that her daughter was also treasured by Wang Zijun's golden house. She wanted to move to the 'golden house' Wang Zijun had bought for her daughter, but was blocked by Guan Zhilin, and the two broke out into a physical conflict out of her heart.  Unhappy, Ms. Luo decided to expose the matter so that the public could see Guan Zhilin¡¯s true face"

    After "Lianhe Wanbao" published the news, Shao Daheng's Wireless Jade Channel quickly dispatched reporters to follow up on the matter. Wang Zijun seemed to be disgusted to death and vowed not to give up.

    Wang Zijun has been very popular recently due to the sales of "Three Heroines of the East" in the United States. Other media will not miss this opportunity and reprint it one after another.

    The six ladies in the family were all resentful when they looked at Wang Zijun. Wang Zijun had suppressed his anger and had nowhere to express it, so he found a place where there was no one and made a call to Guan Zhilin with a dark face.

    ???????????????????? But the line has been busy for a long time, and later I couldn¡¯t get through at all. I think Guan Zhilin¡¯s phone number has been bombarded by reporters.

    In desperation, Wang Zijun had to call Le Yun. Le Yun hesitated for a long time before finally explaining the matter clearly.

    It turned out that Le Yun¡¯s mother was jealous of that villa, and she didn¡¯t have much money left, so she had to move in. She happened to meet Guan Zhilin when she was moving and came back to pick up things.

    Guan Zhilin is very jealous. Naturally, she does not dare to throw jealousy at Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi and others. She even does not dare to bully Liu Jiaqing.  But there was no psychological burden to deal with Luo Fengying. Guan Zhilin, who couldn't stand the vixen Le Yun, directly ordered the doorman of the original villa not to allow irrelevant people to come in.

    Luo Fengying is not an economical person either. After finding out that Guan Zhilin was the one causing the trouble, she couldn't go to a high-end villa to enjoy the life of a nobleman, so she decided to fight to the death.

    I went to several newspapers in Hong Kong, but because of Wang Zijun¡¯s face, those media didn¡¯t pick up the news. I didn¡¯t expect that she would be able to bring the news to Singapore.

    "What the hell is going on!" Wang Zijun hung up the phone and threw the big brother to Lin Bowen.  There were too many lice but it didn't itch anymore, so he simply went back to his room to take a nap.

    But he couldn¡¯t sleep well either. Not long after he lay down, Lin Bowen said wildly: ¡°Brother Jun, something big has happened.¡±

    "What's the matter again?" Wang Zijun asked angrily.

    Lin Bowen said: "On the rooftop of Meiyuan ** Building, there is a Japanese girl who is about to jump off the building."

    Wang Zijun said: "If you want to jump off the building and find the fire brigade and the police, what's the use of calling me?"

    Lin Bowen replied: "That girl is your fan. She flew here from Japan to marry you as your little wife. She waited for a long time in Wang's Mansion but couldn't find you, and saw the scandal you just broke, so she  She ran to the top of the building crying and wanted to jump off the building. Now the negotiators are trying to persuade her, but it's of no use. The girl said she wants to see you before she dies."

    "Holy shit!" Wang Zijun couldn't help but cursed, rubbed his face and said, "Prepare the car!"

    Sitting in the car, Wang Zijun rubbed his temples. Fans were looking for life and death for their idols. This matter would be hot for any celebrity.

    In a parallel space, Cheng Long¡¯s relationship with Lin Fengjiao was exposed, and a Japanese female fan fell directly on the train.  Another one came over and insisted on marrying Cheng Long. Because he could not see Cheng Long in person, he was so frustrated that heHe committed suicide by swallowing pills, but luckily he was rescued.

    Since Wang Zijun accepted Lin Fengjiao, this space-time mile dragon did not cause any fans to commit suicide, but why did he let himself be involved again?

    A few years ago, when Wang Zijun¡¯s love scandal was exposed, many fans were clamoring to commit suicide, but that was just talk, no one actually did it, and now it¡¯s actually true!  (To be continued)
