    While Shen Zhenghui was personally troubled and unhappy, other things were happening regardless of his will.  { "The Secret Agent" was released in November. This was the last movie that Jack became Jiahe. This movie seemed to have lost its quality both at the time and in the future. Jiahe had already negotiated with Kasuga.  Well, the movie hit the Japanese market in November as scheduled. The response was very average, and the box office was only 5.6 billion yen. Jiahe invested 170 million Hong Kong dollars in a large-scale production, but in the end it ended dismally, completely giving up.  They have lost the courage to gamble, and they can only rely on future video copyrights and the like to slowly regain their blood.  Jiahe even specially sent Wang Jiasheng to discuss the copyright issue with Shen Zhenghui, and was willing to sell the Japanese copyright of some of his movies to Kasuga. This was a good business. Whether it was to enrich the film library or something else, Kasuga could do this business.  Although Jack Cheng is getting older, the movies he made in the past are still very valuable.  ¡°Then in December, ¡°The Green Hornet¡± was released worldwide.  Although they didn't deliberately compete with each other, because "The Lost City" had just been broadcast in Japan, it felt like they were competing against each other for a while. However, Zhou Xingxing's masterpiece was promoted by Columbia with great care. At this moment,  The war in Afghanistan is raging, but this does not mean that the broad masses of the people will stop watching movies. It is precisely under this situation that the people need movies even more.  War films that were originally scheduled to be released in 2001 had to be postponed due to the outbreak of the real war, such as Director Wu's "Windtalkers". However, even if this film is postponed, it cannot change its tragic fate, because this film,  MGM lost its independence again.  In fact, Columbia also has great doubts and worries about the box office of "The Green Hornet", but at this moment, they only have one attractive film industry at their disposal, so they have to give it a try.  try.  What Colombia thinks of is Zhou Xingxing's appeal in Asia and Europe, especially in Asia, which is a big ticket bank. As for Europe, after the release of "Shaolin Football", it can be regarded as an initially opened market.  In addition, next year is the year of the World Cup, and Colombia is thinking that it may be able to catch a ride in terms of publicity.  Things are always unexpected. In the first week of the release of "The Green Hornet", the movie actually had a Chinese as the male lead and a Japanese woman as the female lead. The two of them were showing off their acting skills, while the white man and the white woman were showing off their sex appeal.  The movie suddenly gained momentum and reached a box office of 27 million. This was the result of Columbia not releasing a large number of films.  This result surprised everyone, and it was shocking to find that in this time period, comedy seems to be very marketable.  The U.S. box office continues to surprise people. The Chinese Kung Fu performed by Zhou Xingxing in the film, and the actual 911 scene at the end of the film (Colombia gave a very politically correct ending in the end, which can basically be said to have Zhou Xingxing perform a love at the end (U.S.  ) The Chinese people have a high degree of consciousness, I don¡¯t know if this is the case, and it passed the review of the US Radio, Film and Television Administration).  Suddenly, the film received such praise because of its unique subject matter, exaggerated performances and sublime ending that the opposition was filled with racist prejudices.  Amid the debate between pros and cons, the box office continued to rise. In the second week, the box office reached a high of 39 million. The leadership of Colombia almost fell asleep and woke up laughing.  Outside the United States, the box office is also strong. The version released in Hong Kong is the director's version edited by Zhou Xingxing himself. It does not have the final 911 scene. It is very different from the ending in the United States. There are two different versions released worldwide.  In order to release the DVD in the future, the Hong Kong box office is also very popular, with 20 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, and still maintaining a high of 21 million Hong Kong dollars in the second week, and it is heading towards the box office record of 60 million Hong Kong dollars for "Shaolin Football"  .  Breaking Hong Kong local movie box office records is not a problem at all.  But obviously, "The Green Hornet" is recognized as a foreign film, so it has the record of "Titanic" breaking 100 million before it. However, obviously, box office analysis believes that "The Green Hornet" has the possibility of reaching 80 million.  Not big, it will dive in the third week.  (To be continued) PS: I had a stiff neck last night and my neck hurt like crazy. That¡¯s all I did before twelve o¡¯clock, and I¡¯ll add some more later.
