The box office of "Life and Death" shocked the entire Hollywood, and the North American box office directly reached more than 100 million US dollars in the first month of its release, and the global box office also reached 230 million US dollars. This number is not only surprising to others, but even Wang Jie is surprised, after all, this is just a purely commercial movie. In fact, Wang Jie underestimated his current popularity and box office appeal, and now he is only one Oscar for Best Director compared to other well-known directors in the United States.

Speaking of the Oscars, at the Oscars in March this year, "Rain Man" was in the limelight, with a total of eight nominations. However, because of Wang Jie's age, the academy only gave him a Best Original Screenplay Award, and the Best Director was awarded to Milos Forman, who directed "Mozart", although Zhou Yunfa was nominated for Best Actor, but the final winner was Murray Abraham in "Mozart". In addition to Wang Jie's Best Original Screenplay Award, "Rain Man" also grabbed the most weighty Best Picture.

Wang Jie did not attend the Oscars, and his awards were all received by Audrey Hepburn.

Wang Jie stayed in Xiangjiang for five months, during which time, in addition to practice, Wang Jie also copied a script of a famous drama in Xiangjiang in the original time and space, which is "The Great Era".

Because of Wang Jie, Xiangjiang's current TV station presents a three-legged situation, and the competition for ratings is very fierce. At the beginning of May, as soon as the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was broadcast on Jiayi, the other two TV stations were beaten to the ground, and Weng Meiling and Huang Rihua also became popular overnight like the original time and space. However, Wang Jie still explained to Liang Shuyi, asking her to pay more attention to Weng Meiling's emotional problems, hoping to save her from the tragedy of early death.

In addition to Lan Jieying, Zhou Huimin, Li Lizhen, Wen Bixia and Weng Meiling, Wang Jie also specially designated the villain to be played by Zheng Shaoqiu, and the male lead was handed over to Liang Jiahui.

Zheng Shaoqiu lives a harmonious life now, and he is the pillar of Jiayi, he would not have played the role of a villain, but I heard that Wang Jie proposed it, so he agreed without saying a word. In addition to Wang Jie being his boss, it is more about Wang Jie's kindness to him. A "True Colors of Heroes" made Zheng Shaoqiu win the honor of Best Actor at the Golden Horse Awards, which made his career one step further.

As for Liang Jiahui, because this time and space has not been blocked, but his fame is not as loud as the original time and space, but his acting skills have been recognized by DreamWorks.

"The Great Era" adopts the mode of filming and broadcasting, and it caused a huge sensation as soon as it was broadcast. In just five days, "Big Time" snatched the audience of the other two TV stations, and the ratings never fell below 90%. The main reason why "The Great Era" can do this is naturally that it is a divine drama itself, and "The Great Era" is about Xiangjiang stocks, and the obsession of Xiangjiang people with stock speculation far exceeds that of other parts of Asia.

When "Ming Pao Weekly" was only two-thirds of the way to the broadcast of "The Great Era", it couldn't help but publish a special feature to comment: "What this TV series portrays and wants to show is far from being as simple as stocks, and the show highlights how devastating it is when fame and fortune are entangled with human nature......

"The Great Era" has a very special significance, it is ostensibly about the grievances of two families and two generations, but in essence, it is revealing the changes of the times in Xiangjiang......

In terms of structure, it breaks through the routine of traditional TV dramas, and in terms of plot, it raises the family drama model to a very high level. In terms of acting skills, actors such as Zheng Shaoqiu, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Huimin, and Lan Jieying all have wonderful performances in the play......"

The plot of "The Big Time" has been told from the 60s to the 90s, 1997 to be precise. It is only 1985 now, and what happened in the next ten years belongs to Wang Jie's "speculation and blind fabrication".

The impact of "The Great Era" not only caused the sparse flow of people on the streets of Hong Kong during the broadcast time, but also caused the Hong Kong stock market to fall several times.

When I learned that Qiu Guan starred in Jiayi's "The Great Era", I always had a preconceived idea that he was the leading actor, and he was still the handsome Chu Xiangshuai who stepped on the moon and stayed fragrant. But after I watched more than 30 episodes of "The Great Era", I only had the shock of the role of Ding Crab and my admiration for Zheng Shaoqiu's acting skills.

There have been all kinds of traitors in Hong Kong dramas, some are heinous, some are afraid of evil, and this is the first time I have seen a villain like Dante Crab. His evil, his treachery, and his ruthlessness can make you so angry that you want to be beaten up, but he himself still speaks up, and thinks from the bottom of his heart that everything he did is right.

Ding Crab is like a madman, firmly and stubbornly insisting on his own opinions, insisting on his set of false truths that turn black and white upside down. As soon as he speaks in the play, the audience sitting in front of the TV wants to laugh, because it is as if they are listening to people talking in their dreams.

Such a special character who is both normal and abnormal, neither a good person nor a simple bad person, came from the pen of director William, and then became vivid through Zheng Shaoqiu's acting.

used to watch the dramas starring Qiu Guan, thinking that he would only pretend to be handsome. Now Qiu Guan's performance has finally completely impressed me, and he has perfectly interpreted the strange and eccentric role of Ding Crab, and he has played it vividly and vividly......

——From the column of Yishu in "Ming Pao".

Since the broadcast of "The Great Era", at first the audience thought that Luo Huiling played by Lan Jieying was the heroine, and when Ruan Mei played by Zhou Huimin appeared on the stage, everyone thought that Ruan Mei might be the female number one.

Including Fang Ting played by Li Lizhen, the important female characters who appeared in "The Big Time" all have their own unique personalities, and they are not as face-painted as other TV series.

If you really want to choose a heroine, then the author's favorite is none other than Luo Huiling.

The only thing that made me cry in the whole drama was the scene where Luo Huiling died, in the bubble in the sky, Lan Jieying staggered and crawled towards the ring that imprisoned her body and mind. The ring of 20 yuan carried all her love and strength, and the background music sounded, and she died silently in the arms of the son of the person she loved the most, left, and finally left, and she couldn't keep her red face......"

——From the column of Li Bihua of "Oriental Daily".

On the night of the finale of "The Great Era", Xiangjiang seemed to have become a ghost town, and even the bustling sections of Hong Kong Island were sparsely populated by people and cars, and the attendance rate of the major cinemas that night was less than 20%, because most of the Xiangjiang people went home or went into the store to watch TV.

According to the data that came out immediately, the highest rating at the finale of "The Great Era" was 96%, and almost no one watched the TV series on TVB and ATV at the same time.

A week before the end of "The Great Era", DreamWorks Records released the soundtrack record "Laughing at the Storm" of "The Great Era", which included a total of eight songs of the opening, ending and interludes of "The Great Era", four of which were "created" by Wang Jie himself.

The original theme songs of "The Great Era" "Years are Ruthless" and "My Life, My Love" are still their original opening and ending positions, while another Cantonese divine comedy "Laughing at the Wind and Cloud" was copied by Wang Jie as an interlude, and the three songs were sung by Zheng Shaoqiu and Zhang Guorong.

Wang Jie's version of "The Great Era" not only has changes in music, but also a lot of changes in the plot, from 40 episodes in the original version to 45 episodes. The main reason is that the ending of the original version of "The Great Era" is too nonsense, under Wang Jie's adaptation, the ending of this version of "The Great Era" is more tortuous and exciting, and Fang Zhanbo played by Liang Jiahui defeated Ding Crab through his wisdom and talent, rather than pinning his hopes on luck and financial predators like the original version.

……

The time finally came on September 21, 1985, the day before the Plaza Accord was signed, Wang Jie ordered his traders to invest $1.2 billion in the foreign exchange markets in New York and Tokyo respectively to bet on the appreciation of the yen.

From September 22 to December 20, less than three months after the Plaza Accord was signed, Wang Jie earned a total of $10.1 billion in the foreign exchange market, and Wang Jie deposited all this money in a Swiss bank, and he still pursued a low-key principle.
