    Southeast Asia and Europe aside, Japan's box office can only be described as hot. Thanks to the previous promotion work of "Shaolin Soccer" and "Westward Journey", Zhou Xingxing himself has already had a high reputation in Japan.  With the release of a new film and a Japanese female star starring in it, the Japanese are very proud to have entered Hollywood. Therefore, even though Tomoaki Aonuma's reputation is not very good, "The Green Hornet" still ushered in a box office success in Japan.  An astonishing explosion, the box office in the first week reached 1.2 billion yen, which was a complete hit for "The Secret Service". Immediately, some newspapers wrote that Jack Cheng's era was over and that he would never be able to play again as he was already old.  I can no longer move my fists and feet. Hong Kong, no, the whole of Asia has entered the era of Zhou Xingxing.  ?  Of course, this cannot be wrong.  In the original world line, Jack Cheng was indeed inferior to the other, and in the end, the entire team was not trained well.  Zhou Xingxing is indeed taking one step at a time, but this step is too slow.  After switching to director, it was unbearably slow.  It seems that, driven by Shen Zhenghui, his performance is quite impressive compared to the same period in history.  The most important thing is that like Jack Cheng, he took direct steps to the world, instead of being limited to the Chinese-speaking East Asia as before.  Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu also felt this craze. Although they were arranged to travel when they were in Japan, Liang Kexiu missed Ling, his granddaughter, and spent more time with her granddaughter.  However, under the instruction of Mitsumi Fukuda, the entire Kasuga opened information to them almost free of charge and transparently.  So, when Liang Kexiu and Shen Xingguo left Japan reluctantly.  They already have a deep understanding of Kasuga's business. As a practitioner in this industry, Shen Xingguo will naturally be concerned about his son's investment performance after the release of "The Green Hornet". Then, he will focus on this box office  In a daze.  It is certain that the U.S. box office will exceed 100 million US dollars. Of course, it seems impossible to completely recover the 80 million investment in the U.S. market, but the box office in markets outside the United States is simply surprising.  As Christmas approaches, the U.S. box office has exceeded the 100 million mark.  Although the number of screening screens has begun to decrease at this time.  But in overseas markets, the Hong Kong box office has exceeded 80 million Hong Kong dollars, and the Japanese market has reached a record of 3 billion yen, plus the fragmented market in Europe.  Cost recovery is no longer difficult.  I saw this craze.  The Chinese film market, which was originally firmly entrenched in Diaoyutai, had to speed up its progress.  It was announced that the film would be released during New Year's Day - there was no way to be impatient. Once pirated copies came in, the film would not be able to sell at a high price. The review and approval department was under the voice of the comrades below.  The approval process was finally streamlined, and of course, Colombia¡¯s PR also played a huge role.  It has not yet been released in the domestic market, but according to analysis, the box office should be at least similar to that in Hong Kong.  So, after adding up the overall data, Colombia was pleasantly surprised to find that the global box office of this film was close to 200 million U.S. dollars. This was certainly a huge profit. Obviously, it was also a good start for the sequel.  laid the foundation.  I believe that the booming video tape market will bring continuous income.  Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu were obviously shocked by the news and data compiled. Especially Shen Xingguo, he is an insider. Unlike his wife who only brags about her son, he can deeply understand the meaning behind this box office, especially  It was when he was in Japan that he had close contact with the release of "The Green Hornet", and he understood the importance of this film even more.  In 2001, the U.S. movie market reached US$8.14 billion. Although "The Green Hornet" will be included in the 2002 box office due to its release schedule, its final box office in the United States was comparable to  It can beat "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and reached 120 million US dollars. If it were ranked on the box office list in 2001, it would be ranked 17th. It is still being released in other parts of the world. It is estimated that the global box office will exceed 2.5  Although it is not as good as the US box office of Jack Cheng's "Rush Hour 2" of 226 million US dollars and the global box office of 347 million US dollars, Zhou Xingxing has achieved such results when he first entered Hollywood.  Eyesight, the results are comparable to Jack Cheng's "Rush Hour 1".  The most shocking thing is not Zhou Xingxing's performance in the movie, but that he also served as the director in this movie, acting and directing with such good results. From the perspective of division of labor, he is better than  Jack Cheng's influence is much greater, which means that even if he can no longer be an actor in the future, he can still be active in Hollywood as a director.  And judging from the current situation, Zhou Xingxing himself definitely has a longer acting career than Jack Cheng. Unlike action movie actors, there will always be doubts that he is too old to fight.  Of course, commercial success is only one aspect. Successfully entering Hollywood also has political benefits in a sense.  Shen Xingguo feels this the most. Because of the incident of "Shaolin Soccer", the release of "The Green Hornet" in mainland China was also well-received.Despite deliberately making things difficult, although it was not said that it could not be released, the schedule was almost always wrangling. President Han of China Film and Television was also tortured to death. However, when "The Green Hornet" opened up the overseas market, it quickly exceeded 1,000,000 in North America.  As soon as the news came out that the movie had exceeded US$60 million in two weeks, film censorship went on the highway almost immediately. After simply trimming a few shots, it was released and could be screened in theaters.  The only ones who have opened up the Hollywood market before are Jack Cheng and Jet Lee. These two are the spokespersons of the same theme - kung fu movies. Zhou Xingxing's film this time is titled as a tribute to Bruce Lee, and it is also a kung fu movie, but  Fundamentally speaking, it is not a kung fu movie.  This is just like "Tang Bohu Spots Qiuxiang", the fighting is very intense, but it is not actually a martial arts movie.  Zhou Xingxing opened up a new field for the Chinese and gained recognition. This is the reason why "The Green Hornet" was finally approved so quickly.  During Shen Xingguo's stay in China, he was constantly being inquired about. Everyone knew that this film was the result of a three-way collaboration between Shen Zhenghui's Haruhi, Columbia, and Zhou Xingxing. When the box office results came out, everyone in the industry was not calm.  Now, Zhou Xingxing's 10/10 treatment was exposed, and many people were jealous. Some people also speculated on how much money Haruhi earned from this.  The high box office of Hollywood movies used to have nothing to do with the Chinese film industry, but suddenly a relevant person appeared next to everyone, which naturally attracted everyone's attention.  Kasuga's 40 million US dollars, half of the investment, not only recovered the cost immediately, but also absorbed long-term interest collection. Experts estimate that the income from video tapes, VCDs, and DVDs can reach 60% of the box office, which means  It is possible that Haruhi can earn another 50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to the national box office for half a year when converted into RMB.  Everyone¡¯s eyes are green.  In particular, Kasuga then announced a series of plans, including the release of "The Legend of Goku", the release of "Battle Fairy Yukikaze", and the filming of "Black Fist 2". Although the director is no longer Shen Zhenghui, Miyamoto, who took over, is also a new talent in Japan.  Director, not to mention that his assistant directors are Yuan Xiangren and "Slaying the Wolf" director Lu Yang. Obviously, this director combination must be temporary.  Many people are thinking that Kasuga is likely to bring the three people together to gain experience, and then split them up to let them work alone. This can be regarded as training their own directors. From this point of view, Kasuga seems to be very confident in growing in the industry.  develop.  Not to mention that Kasuga invested in this year's annual drama "Infernal Affairs", and Kasuga also invested in the anticipated sequel.  Many filmmakers are beating their chests and lamenting why they don¡¯t have such a good vision as Shen Zhenghui and can invest in such a promising film?  Immediately afterwards, Kasuga officially announced Shen Zhenghui's new film plan. In 2002, Shen Zhenghui will make a big-budget movie, but no further details were disclosed.  But this was enough to attract attention, and many people in the industry - big bosses - began to take the initiative to inquire about what the film was going to be about, which actors were needed, how it was going to be distributed, and so on.  Many well-informed people swear that Shen Zhenghui is about to enter Hollywood, and he will not turn a blind eye to Zhou Xingxing stealing his limelight. In fact, Shen Zhenghui was more favored by Hollywood before, and Hollywood felt that he was good at action movies.  It is closer to the aesthetics of Hollywood. Well-informed sources revealed that before this, Columbia had intended to invite Shen Zhenghui to shoot an action film. However, Shen Zhenghui had just finished filming "Black Fist" and had no intention of repeating himself for the time being, so he gave this opportunity to Zhou  Star.  The rumor that he has a nose and eyes seems to be true. Even Shen Zhenghui himself was too embarrassed to refute the rumors. Soon, he was surrounded by more troubles. Everyone with connections wanted to know the type of his new film.  What type of hero and heroine does he want to use? If the protagonist is decided, are there any supporting roles needed?  Not limited to Japan and Hong Kong, people from Shen Xingguo and Liang Kexiu in the Mainland are also trying to find ways to contact them. Even in South Korea, the newly established partners are not shy about trying to sell Korean female stars to Director Shen Zhenghui. At the moment, it is Kim Hee San.  When He Ahn Jae-su was popular, of course "Blue Life and Death" and "My Sassy Girl" were also popular, so Koreans brazenly said that the best Korean female star was Smecta.  What Shen Zhenghui cares about is that he can finally be freed from the tedious corporate work. After this period of physical and mental torture, he finally discovered that hard work of filming is sometimes a kind of rest.  (To be continued)
