641 [Charm from the East]
"Zachary, your manor is really good, it cost a lot of money." In Wang Zijun's tulip estate, Patty Davis wanders around, but her attention is more focused on Wang Zijun's four women.
Lin Fengjiao and Zhao Yazhi also looked curiously at the legendary president's daughter, but it seemed that the popular outfit of Jeans and T-shirt on Patti had nothing to do with the president.
Hearing Patty Davis's inquiry, Wang Zijun replied casually: "More than 10 million." ”
"So expensive?" Patty Davis stuck out his tongue, and now the mansions in Beverly Hills, Hollywood, are only three to five million dollars each, and Wang Zijun's house is scary enough.
Although Patty Davis is the president's daughter, her net worth is only tens of thousands of dollars, most of which are based on the title of the president's daughter, and she earns it by publishing books and modeling (after 15 years of drug use, no amount of money is enough to spend). The manor in front of her, which covers an area of nearly 10 square kilometers, is that she can't afford to sell it.
In the eyes of Patty Davis, Wang Zijun is simply a legend. An Oriental turned the American film industry upside down, and at the age of 30, he was able to buy a estate of more than 10 million dollars in the United States.
In fact, with inflation and renovations, the Tulip Manor, which Wang Zijun bought for more than $13 million, is now worth at least $18 million.
Patti Davis came here early this morning, the purpose was to pester Wang Zijun to help her write songs and package styling. As for her younger brother Ron, he went directly to ILM as an amateur assistant.
Of course, it would be even more perfect if there were other benefits to be gained.
"What? Do you still want to learn kung fu? When Patty Davis made this request jokingly, Wang Zijun had a headache, how could this woman think that one is one play, her thinking is so jumpy.
"Hehe, I feel like I'm in bad shape, so I want to train more." Patti Davis said. She is not false, this woman took drugs from the age of fifteen to the age of thirty, her body was so thin that she couldn't look like it, and after recovering from drugs, she spent two years exercising, and now she has recovered like an ordinary person. Even later, when she came out in her 50s to take nude photos, her figure and skin were much healthier than her peers, all of which were the result of insisting on exercise and maintenance.
"No, I don't have time to teach you, if you want to learn kung fu, you can go to the martial arts hall in Chinatown." Wang Zijun directly refused, although it was very fashionable to accept the president's daughter as an apprentice, but he didn't have that kind of leisure.
Without waiting for Patty Davis to continue talking, Wang Zijun went back to the study on the pretext that she was writing songs, and asked Lin Qingxia and others to talk to Patty.
Sitting at the desk, Wang Zijun had English songs flying around in his head, but he didn't know which song to choose for a while. The president's daughter's singing skills are a little bad, so she can only choose some singing skills with relatively low requirements for her, although it is perfunctory, but she always has to come up with some dry goods.
For a while, there was no legal order to copy any song, so Wang Zijun simply took a newspaper and read it.
The newspapers have the most news about the Olympics, and Chinese athletes won two more gold medals yesterday. In the absence of the Soviet Union, the Chinese team, which participated in the Olympics for the first time since the fifties, is now temporarily fifth in the gold medal table.
This is a staggering statistic, and the attention paid by American newspapers to the Chinese team even exceeds that of the top three countries in the gold medal table. After all, the United States has to win a lot of gold medals in every Olympic Games, and the Chinese have not had a single gold medal before, and now they have won so many as soon as they come, which is simply unimaginable.
In addition to the news about the Olympics, the headlines in many newspapers in the past two days were the news of the White House dinner.
Yasuhiro Nakasone, the guest of honor invited to the state banquet, became a supporting role in the news, and the protagonists were Wang Zijun and Van Cliben.
The reason Van Cliburn was in the media attention was because his performance that day was the first live performance after nearly a decade of retirement. And what about Wang Zijun? Aside from his own fame, the selling point of the White House piano is a rare news selling point, how can those newspapers not grasp it well?
The Washington Post, with the title "The White House Pianist," wrote: "...... During the dinner, King Zakary from Taiwan clashed with Nishikawa Yakumo and Yokota from Samoto. Yokota Yuki was poured red wine on his face in public by the Chinese director, and it is said that the two said that he had insulted China...... A little over ten minutes later, King Zachary returned to the ballroom with Mr. President's son, Ron, and daughter, Patty...... A good scene similar to the piano fight segment of "The Pianist of the Sea" was staged...... Zachary, whose piano skills are only at the amateur level, played an ancient Chinese song "Plum Blossom", and everyone present listened to it with fascination, and won the challenge without any suspense, and Nishikawa Yakumo fled. What is amazing is that this ancient Chinese song is so vivid and beautiful, and even many people sweat profusely after listening to it, and Van Cliburn took the initiative to ask Zachary for the score of this ancient song......
The Washington Post only objectively recounted what happened, but I don't know if Wang Zijun chatted happily with the owner of this newspaper, and the tone of this report was slightly towards Wang Zijun.
In the past two years, the rapid development of the economy has already made the American people in their father's country red-eyed, and they are happy to see him deflated. After the news report, many Americans applauded, saying that the king of China had done a good job this time.
On the night of the White House state dinner, there were reporters from the TV station, and the clips of Wang Zijun's performance of "Three Alleys of Plum Blossoms" and Van Cliburn's performance were also broadcast on the TV station. After the perfect interpretation of "Plum Blossom Three Alleys", it is also sought after by many American music fans, and the playing of "Dream Wedding" is playing, and Richard Clayderman, who is now turning purple, also publicly said that he likes this piece very much after hearing "Plum Blossom Three Alleys".
This talented pianist, who later performed in China many times and played "Red Sun", "A Big River", and "Mountain Songs Are Like Spring River Water", began to study Chinese music many years in advance.
In the beginning, news about Wang Zijun and the White House state banquet was limited to a few media outlets that could send reporters into the White House. But as soon as the news came out, it attracted strong public attention, which made other media outlets join the ranks of reporting.
So more details were dug up, such as Wang Zijun bringing his two women to the banquet at the same time. Another example is that Wang Zijun has a close relationship with the president's son and daughter, and Madonna wanted to go to Wang Zijun's bed but was kicked away, etc.
Later, it became more and more outrageous, and even scandals such as the president's daughter becoming Wang Zijun's new "qingren" came out.
Well, the American people have become accustomed to the Chinese director's outrageous behavior, and in the face of his reports, no matter how bizarre, they are always treated with a cheerful attitude.
"Vanity Fair", which Wang Zijun bought, has now become one of the first-class magazines in the United States. The tone of Vanity Fair at this time was to show the general public all kinds of anecdotes of high society, and the style was still very high, unlike other magazines that focused on curiosity and lace news.
Although it will take some time to enter the circle of upper-class people, ordinary people and the entertainment industry are very concerned about the report of "Vanity Fair". The article of "Vanity Fair" has also become the favorite of many middle-class people who aspire to high society.
"Charm from the East - The King of China", this is an exclusive article in the latest issue of Vanity Fair.
The whole article is full of pictures and texts, from Wang Zijun accompanying Lin Qingxia and Audrey Hepburn to dinner, to pouring Yokota red wine with a smile on his face, talking and laughing freely to ask Prime Minister Yuanben, to dancing and fighting the piano in the back, and talking happily with many dignitaries...... The whole process is recorded with photos, as if a reporter is paying attention to Wang Zijun throughout the whole process.
The layman may not know, but his media peers are surprised by Vanity Fair's lavish spending. For "Vanity Fair", which did not send reporters to cover the White House state dinner, it would cost at least $100,000 to get these photos. Plus it's exclusive, and the price is even higher.
In order to improve the quality of the magazine's articles, Tina Brown set a sky-high remuneration of more than 100,000 US dollars to those good authors when the market price was only tens of thousands, and even if it was a rejection, a considerable rejection fee was given. As soon as this move came out, it immediately attracted some of the best columnists in the country, and the quality of Vanity Fair's manuscripts was almost the top in the industry.
The article about Wang Zijun once again shows the high level of "Vanity Fair", and after reading it, it feels like reading a legend. And the article is also trying to praise Wang Zijun, chic, handsome, witty, elegant, and unfazed...... All kinds of excellent qualities have been placed on Wang Zijun, completely justifying Wang Zijun's name, so that some Americans who originally had prejudices against Wang Zijun have also changed their views.
Of course, these readers don't know that Wang Zijun is the boss behind "Vanity Fair", otherwise they may unconsciously think too much.
"Dad, are we going back tomorrow?" Wang Zijun was reading the newspaper and writing a song at the same time, Wang Feiyu and Wang Shiya sisters ran in, lying on Wang Zijun left and right, and asked.
"yes, haven't you had enough of it in the United States?" Wang Zijun said to his two daughters with a smile.
The Miss Asia Hong Kong finals have been postponed for a whole week, just waiting for Wang Zijun to go back as a judge.
Wang Feiyu looked at Wang Zijun with big watery eyes, and said in a coquettish tone: "Dad, can you bring Xiaoqiu and Xiaoling back, people like them so much." ”
Wang Shiya also said: "Yes, Daddy, just take them back, otherwise they will miss us." ”
Xiaoqiu and Xiaoling in Wang Feiyu's mouth are the two alpacas raised in the horse farm, and the sisters have been playing with those alpacas these days.
Wang Zijun was a little distressed about "this ......", but he just transported the two grass and mud horses back to Taiwan, although the procedures were more troublesome, but it was not a big problem. It's just that there are no breeders and shearers in Taiwan, so is it possible to bring the workers over?
But looking at the expectant eyes of the two daughters, Wang Zijun's heart softened and said, "Okay! ”
"Yay, long live Daddy!"
"Daddy, I love you!"
The two sisters immediately smiled happily and hung Wang Zijun's neck and arm for a while.
