    On November 2, 1986, the reformed Golden Horse Film Festival debuted for the first time.  The venue of the Golden Horse Film Festival this time was moved to Wang's Cinema. It was hosted by the Taiwan Film Industry Foundation and participated by Wang's Film. The live broadcast rights in Taiwan were obtained by China Television.

    The Golden Horse Film Festival lasts for one week, and directors from all over Asia are welcome to bring their works to the exhibition. The final Golden Horse Awards ceremony will be held in a large temporary studio set up at Wang's Cinema.

    As the general manager of Wang¡¯s Cinema, Lin Qingxia has been preparing for this Golden Horse Film Festival for half a year.  A few days after their family went to Heilongjiang to visit relatives, Lin Qingxia hurriedly returned because of the Golden Horse Awards.

    At the end of October, Wang's Cinema became lively, and the hotel rooms were all booked. More overseas visitors took a fancy to the ancient buildings of the cinema and paid high fees to move into the "old" pavilions usually used for filming.  middle.

    On November 1, the first day of the Golden Horse Film Festival, Wang Zijun had quietly returned to Taipei, and the important guests he invited had already arrived.

    "Brother Jun, those Asans are here!" Wang Zijun was teasing his youngest son when Lin Bowen came over and reported in a low voice.

    Wang Zijun laughed and scolded: "What the hell, Asan, show some respect to others."

    As soon as he finished speaking, two Indians, a man and a woman, were brought in.  The man has a hooked nose and a bald head. He is none other than Yash Chopra, the famous Bollywood director and founder of Yash Raj Film Company. The woman has exquisite facial features and a superb figure. She wears a white gauze scarf on her head.  There is also a forehead ornament on it, which is Sridevi, the queen of Indian movies at this time.

    Wang Zijun stood up to greet them, shook hands with them and said: "Welcome you two to come to Taipei as guests."

    "Oh. Mr. Wang, it's a great honor to come and visit you!" Yash Chopra said in Indian English that Wang Zijun could hardly understand.

    "You two, please sit down!" Wang Zijun said.

    "Thank you." Xili Daiyu looked at Wang Zijun as she spoke. "Titanic" was a big hit in India that year, and the box office crushed her most popular movie "Lost".  Since then, Xili Daiyu wanted to see the director who made "Titanic" with her own eyes.

    Wang Zijun specially invited the two of them to his home for dinner because he wanted to strengthen communication with the Indian film industry.  Although Yash Chopra's film company has not yet grown into the Bollywood giant that it will become in later generations.  But at this time it also had a great influence in the Indian film industry.  As for Sri Daiyu, this peerless beauty did not get the title of Queen of India for nothing. Her influence in India is comparable to that of Wang Zijun in the Chinese-speaking area.

    Wang Zijun greeted: "First of all, I would like to congratulate both of you for your works being shortlisted for this year's Golden Horse Awards."

    "Thank you. If I can win an award here, I will be more happy than winning an award in India." Yash Chopra said with a smile, if his movie won the award in Taiwan.  That means there are Taiwanese film producers who will buy his movies.

    By winning film awards from various countries, directors and production companies gain not only fame, but also real profits.  According to later statistics, if a movie is nominated for an Oscar, its box office will increase by an average of US$20 million.

    After chatting for a while, Wang Zijun asked: "I like your movies very much. Have you ever considered cooperating with Wang?"

    "Cooperation?" Yash Chopra asked in surprise, "Mr. Wang, are you ready to develop in India?"

    "No," Wang Zijun shook his head and said, "I just think there should be more communication between Chinese films and Indian films. Both places have oriental film resources that are very mysterious to Westerners. Indian songs and dances, yoga, Chinese kung fu and culture, these  Nothing should be wasted. The West is the most important film market, and we should join forces to fight it."

    Yash Chopra is an ambitious and capable person, otherwise he would not be making movies in the future.  He also developed a music company and produced animation for Disney, making his company a leader in the Indian film industry recognized by his Hollywood peers.

    Hearing what Wang Zijun said, Yash Chopra asked: "How is Mr. Wang going to cooperate?"

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "How about we make a movie together first, and let this movie lay the foundation for our future cooperation."

    Yash Chopra asked: ¡°What kind of movie?¡±

    Wang Zijun said: "An action comedy film that contains kung fu and Bollywood songs and dances. Kung fu plus songs and dances. It also has a mysterious oriental flavor. I think Western audiences will be interested."

    Yash Chopra is quite moved. Westerners are very fascinated by Chinese-language action movies nowadays, but Bollywood singing and dancing movies are actually still popular in Asia.  It would be great if this movie could help introduce Indian musicals to the West.

    Yash Chopra asked: "How to cooperate?"

    Wang Zijun said: "The Wang family and Hong Kong??Jiahe just collaborated on a movie "Eagle Project" this year, which sold well in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. It will be launched in North America next year.  I want to set the main shooting location of "Eagle Project 2" in India, with our kung fu star Cheng Long as the male protagonist and Miss Shiri Daiyu as the female protagonist.  what do you think?  "

    ¡°It¡¯s a great collaboration.¡± Yash Chopra immediately understood that this was a win-win cooperation.

    For Wang and Jiahe, with the participation of Sridevi, the film will definitely be a box office hit after entering the Indian market.  For Yash Chopra, in addition to making money along the way, since the film is mainly shot in India, he should be responsible for the rest of the Indian supporting roles, which will bring more hidden benefits.  Moreover, the combination of Chinese kung fu and Indian singing and dancing is really attractive to Western audiences.

    If this movie sells well in Europe and the United States, Yash Chopra will take the opportunity to invite a Chinese action director to create this kind of action musical.

    Wang Zijun looked at Xili Daiyu and asked, "What do you think, Miss Xili Daiyu?"

    Xili Daiyu smiled and said: "Of course I am very happy. I have also watched Jack Chen's kung fu movies and I have always been looking forward to working with him."

    "That's great. Mr. He from Jiahe will come over tomorrow, and we will discuss it in detail then," Wang Zijun said.

    After "The Heroines of the East" hit theaters in Europe and the United States, it originally planned to enter India in the first half of this year, but Wang Zijun changed his mind temporarily.

    Because the reaction to Chinese kung fu movies in India is very extreme. Indian audiences who blindly follow Western aesthetics like kung fu movies very much, but other audiences are dismissive of them. What they like to watch is the kind that often lasts two or three hours and dances.  A local Indian musical that can be danced for half an hour.

    Therefore, Wang Zijun plans to first invite Indian film goddess Shirley Daiyu and Cheng Long to co-produce a kung fu movie so that Indian audiences will generally accept kung fu movies, and then sell "The Three Heroines of the Orient" to India.

    ¡° Moreover, Sridevi is not only famous in India, but also has box office appeal in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Bangladesh, Turkey and Sri Lanka.  Asking her to collaborate in kung fu movies is definitely the best way for Chinese films to enter these areas.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­¡­

    The next day, the 23rd Golden Horse Film Festival officially opened. Director Zhang, who had worked hard to promote the upgrade of the Golden Horse Awards, attended in person and delivered a passionate speech.

    After inviting Yash Chopra and Sri Daiyu to dinner last night, the two rested at Wang Zijun¡¯s home and came together by car this morning.

    Journalists are very sharp-eyed. When they saw Wang Zijun surrounded by beautiful women, and she was also an exotic beauty, the gossip reporters became excited.

    A reporter from "Ming Pao Weekly" asked first: "Master Jun, who is this beauty next to you? Is she the new star that the Wang family is highly promoting?"

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "This lady is a big star in India and the goddess of Indian movies. I said, you are too incompetent to be a reporter. You don't even know her. If I were the editor-in-chief of "Ming Zhou", I would send you away directly  Clean up.¡±

    There was no Internet at this time, and Indian movies were rarely released in Hong Kong and Taiwan. This reporter would be a ghost if he could recognize Sridevi at a glance.

    When he heard it was an Indian actress, another reporter immediately reacted and asked: "Mr. Wang, are you making any big moves again?"

    Wang Zijun said: "It's just an idea, I haven't decided yet."

    "Can you tell me what you think?" the reporter asked.

    Wang Zijun smiled and said: "Perhaps "Eagle Project 2" will be filmed in India."

    "Eagle Project" is a super-large production produced by Wang's strong cooperation with Golden Harvest this year and cost over 100 million Hong Kong dollars. This year's box office in Hong Kong and Taiwan is second only to "A Chinese Ghost Story".  As soon as I heard that Wang Zijun revealed "Eagle Project 2", reporters kept asking questions, but Wang Zijun just smiled and shook his head.

    Wang Zijun kept silent, so reporters could only guess. They could write whatever they wanted back home, but many guessed that "Eagle Project 2" would cast Shili Daiyu as the heroine.

    It didn¡¯t take long to meet He Guanchang and Cheng Long. Wang Zijun had already discussed his ideas about "Eagle Project 2" with him in Hong Kong a few days ago.  After meeting the two Indians, they naturally talked about cooperation and friendship.

    He Guanchang had a pleasant chat with Yash Chopra. Wang Zijun introduced to Cheng Long: "This is the Indian movie star Miss Sridevi. She may be your partner in the next film."

    "Hello, Mr. Cheng, it's a pleasure to cooperate with you." Xili Daiyu took the initiative to extend her hand.

    Cheng Long's eyes lit up after seeing Xili Daiyu, and he said happily: "I'm very happy too, and I hope we can have a happy cooperation."

    ???????????????????????As soon as ?jun saw Cheng Long's expression, he knew what this guy had in mind and said with a smile, "Aaron, just take Miss Xili Daiyu for a walk."

    "Okay, Brother Jun, leave this matter to me." Cheng Long said happily.

    The two walked away chatting and laughing, and a tall and thin man wearing glasses came over and said: "Hello, Mr. Wang!"

    "Hello, Mr. Oshima!" Wang Zijun shook hands with him. The person coming was none other than Nagisa Oshima, the Japanese director who Wang Zijun borrowed money to make a movie when he was very poor.
