The day of the release of the movie is getting closer and closer, and Wang Zijun is both looking forward to it and a little nervous.

Wang Zijun can't remember how much "Murder on the Orient Express" has grossed in history, but this movie was remade twice in 2001 and 2010, and it was a great success.

But "Ghost Love" spent nearly two million dollars in publicity expenses, which is almost worth the total investment of a low-cost and medium-budget film, and its role is not covered. Now there are billboards or other conspicuous positions outside major theaters with promotional posters of "People and Ghosts Are Not Over" everywhere.

The posters of this era are actually very crude, even in blockbusters, but "The Love of People and Ghosts" is very well-made and can be directly pasted in the room as decorations. In addition, the well-edited trailers have also appeared on several major TV stations, focusing on exquisite special effects scenes and warm love scenes.

"The most touching ghost love in history", "The best movie for couples", "Super magical special effects production", "Please bring tissues to the cinema...... Various labels are played in promotional advertisements.

Lin Fengjiao took out a coat and jacket from the closet and was about to put it on Wang Zijun.

"I'll do it." Wang Zijun took the coat and put it on, gently stroked her increasingly prominent lower abdomen, and said, "You are bored at home these days, and you have time to go out for a walk." ”

"It's okay, I'm not bored, what if I fall? Yesterday I went for a prenatal check-up and the doctor said that the baby was developing well. What do you think is a good name for our baby? Lin Fengjiao said with a smile.

"Let's talk about it then, the old man of the family has to make a decision." Wang Zijun said and looked at the time, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and he had to rush to attend the premiere.

Originally, there was no premiere for "The Love of People and Ghosts", but now that so much publicity money has been invested, what about one more premiere?

The premiere of "The Love of People and Ghosts" is in the Chinese theater, and at the same time, today is also the day of the simultaneous release of "The Love of People and Ghosts" in North America.

Wang Zijun walked downstairs, looking at the rain floating outside, he couldn't help but want to scold his mother. For Los Angeles, which has a desert climate, there is sunshine all year round and there is very little rainfall, which means that the rainy season in February and March every year has more precipitation.

Hell, today is the day of the premiere and release of "People and Ghosts", and it is only November, and it is actually raining coldly.

Fortunately, the temperature is not cold, at least much warmer than Taipei at this time.

Wang Zijun thought to himself: Good things should be grinded.

When I came to the Chinese theater, the cold rain finally stopped, the ground was wet, and many fans and reporters had already arrived.

Some of these fans present are Wang Zijun's fans, and a small number of old viewers who have watched his "Bloody Lonely City"; The other part is Audrey. Hepburn is a big fan. At least one-third of these people are Chinese.

As soon as Wang Zijun got out of the car, a girl rushed over: "Zijun, I love you"

Li Jinghao's muscles tightened, and he almost stopped him.

Wang Zijun was suddenly hugged and a little stunned, but he instantly reacted that this should be his fan, and most of them are fans in Taiwan or Hong Kong.

The strange girl rushed over and hugged her, and only let go after a few seconds, took out the singles records of "Hotel California" and "you_are_beautiful", and said happily: "Zijun, I'm so happy to see you." Can you sign me? ”。

"Absolutely." Wang Zijun signed his name while nodding and smiling at a photojournalist next to him.

And the girl was chattering: "Zijun, I like your songs and movies so much." Last year, my family moved from Taiwan to the United States, and I was sad for a while, but I didn't expect you to come this year. I'm coming from New York to Los Angeles for the premiere of your movie, and your movie is the best, and it's going to be a hit......"

"Thanks, what's your name?" Wang Zijun asked.

"My name is Zhu Qingqing." The girl heard Wang Zijun ask her name and said happily.

Wang Zijun then added another line of words to it: I wish Zhu Qingqing *** will always be young and beautiful, and happy every day

"Ah, that's great" Zhu Qingqing got the autograph, hugged Wang Zijun and kissed it.

When Zhu Qingqing left, a few more fans crossed the railing to ask for autographs, among which there were actually two black twins, and when they saw Wang Zijun, they praised: "Dude, your rap is amazing." Law...... Kehaha. ”

"Shhhh ”

"To hell with it." The black twin smiled at the same time and gestured a middle finger at the reporter behind her ass. ,

After finally dealing with the fans, the reporter next to him also plugged in, and the reporter from the "Hollywood Reporter" was the first to squeeze over: "Zachary, did you say a few days ago that the box office of "Ghost Love" will surpass "Murder on the Orient Express"? Are you challenging them? ”。

"No, I'm not challenging anyone, I'm just stating my point of view objectively." Wang Zijun said.

"Then how much do you expect the North American box office of "Ghost Love" to reach?" The reporter asked again.

Wang Zijun smiled: "Maybe it can surpass "The Godfather 2". ”

As soon as this remark came out, the surrounding reporters wrote it down. The 40 million box office of "The Godfather 2" can already rank in the top five on this year's box office list. can surpass "The Godfather 2", which means that Wang Zijun thinks that his movies can squeeze into the top five.

Reporters really like this Chinese who runs the train with his mouth full of cannons, and with him, today's American entertainment industry is a lot more lively. Whether they like Wang Zijun or not, they all have to admit that Wang Zijun has provided them with a lot of news materials.

Over there, a reporter was interviewing Audrey. Hepburn: "Ms. Hepburn, director Mr. Zachary thinks his film will do well. What is your opinion on this? ”

"I enjoyed the filming of 'Ghost Love', it reminded me of the days when I used to shoot 'Roman Holiday', and I felt relaxed and happy." Audrey. Hepburn said.

"You mean to say that 'Ghost Love' is as good as 'Roman Holiday'?" The reporter asked.

"So to speak." Audrey. Hepburn nodded.

"Okay, thank you for your answer." The reporter was very happy when he got the answer he wanted.

Bruce Lee, who attended as a guest, received even more attention than Wang Zijun and Audrey. Hepburn is still more, there is no way, his movie box office is too terrifying.

While dealing with fans, while answering reporters' interviews, Bruce Lee said: "Wang Zijun is a very talented person, and I have always liked his works. He is also a very good friend of mine, and in addition, his kung fu is very good, and I hope everyone can go into the cinema and cheer for "Ghost Love". ”

Evelyn's family, who had just arrived, were also stopped by reporters, and among them, Evelyn was just an outdated star and model, but only 12-year-old Judy. Foster is a very famous Hollywood prodigy.

"Ms. Evelyn, please be invited to the premiere as well? I heard that you and the director are neighbors, do you have a good personal relationship with Mr. Zachary? ”。 The reporter asked.

"Yes, Wang is a gentleman, and Judy was the one who got into a car accident and he was sent to the hospital, and I am grateful to him." Evelyn said.

"Miss Judy> where? Do you think the film will be a success? ”。 The reporter asked.

Judy. Although Foster had a bad impression of Wang Zijun, he also said good things about this kind of scene: "Yes, Mr. Zachary is a very good person, and I wish his movie a box office hit." ”

As for Lina, Connie and Buddy, the three siblings, they were selectively ignored by reporters, and they were all just young actors. The most famous Buddy. Foster is nothing more than a second-rate TV star. is even more Connie's most tragic, in addition to taking on the role of the show, is to be a stand-in for her sister and help her star in some glamorous scenes, because Judy is still underage.

"Ms. Evelyn, thank you for coming to the premiere." Wang Zijun walked over and said with a smile.

Evelyn said: "It's our honor, I didn't expect you to have your own directorial work at such a young age, I wish you success in your film." ”

Buddy said to Wang Zijun: "Hey, Wang, how about you tell me to sing that song "Fire Truck"?" I've heard a lot of people sing in different tunes, and I want to learn from the original. ”

Wang Zijun said: "Can you endure not touching ** for three months and come to me again, I don't want to deal with an addict." ”

"When I didn't say it." Buddy shrugged, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "It's actually Bruce. Lee, hey, that's great, he's here today. I'm going to go to him and ask for an autograph. ”

Not only Buddy, but even his eldest sister > Lina. Foster also followed along and came to Bruce Lee's side to talk, which is enough to prove how famous Bruce Lee is.

Connie. Foster smiled sweetly at Wang Zijun and said, "I wish you a big box office hit, Wang." ”

"Thank you." Wang Zijun said.

"I take the liberty of asking, who is the lady in your house?" Connie couldn't help but ask.

Wang Zijun knew that she was asking Lin Fengjiao, so he said, "A friend of mine." ”

"I thought she was your wife." Connie felt a little abrupt when she said it, but somehow she didn't vomit or be unhappy. ,

Wang Zijun didn't dare to tell the truth, he didn't know much about Connie, and it would be troublesome if it got out.

Everyone walked into the theater while chatting, Audrey. Hepburn came over and walked intimately with Wang Zijun, posing for reporters to take pictures along the way. Bruce Lee also walked over and patted Wang Zijun on the shoulder to show encouragement.

Steve, the American film critic Wang Zijun is most familiar with, entered the theater early, and greeted him with a smile when he saw Wang Zijun come in.

At this premiere, the stars present were Bruce Lee and Audrey. Hepburn is a little more famous, but compared to the premiere of "Murder on the Orient Express" in the United Kingdom, which was even attended by the Queen of England, it really looks a little shabby.

At the door of a movie theater, a fan looked at two posters and asked for a copy of "Murder on the Orient Express" without thinking about it.

Another couple argued, and the woman said, "What's so good about that murder?" ”

"So what's so good about this romance movie? An old woman in her forties, a Chinese kid, I have to go to the theater to watch them fall in love. The man sneered.

"Anyway, I don't watch murders, so it's good to come out and watch a movie to relax, and make myself nervous." The woman insisted.

"Hey, Darling, Murder on the Orient Express is an all-star, and there are a lot of handsome guys in it." The man teased.

"I don't care, I never watch mystery detective movies. We're here for a date today, whether it's a romance movie or a detective movie, you choose. The woman turned her head and said.

"Okay" the man was forced to surrender, walked to the ticket window, and said, "Let's have two copies of "Human Ghost Love". ”

"Is there a lady?". The ticket seller asked.

"What?" The man didn't know what he meant.

The ticket seller said, "If there is a lady, we will give you the corresponding tissue." ”

"Paper towels? What do you want that thing for? The man said strangely.

"Wipe your tears." Said the ticket seller.

"Hell yes. I heard that this is a horror romance movie, can it scare people into tears? The man took the movie ticket and tissues and said to himself.

Outside another movie theater, a few young people walked over shoulder to shoulder, took out a few beautiful knives, and said, "Here are five movie tickets for "Ghost Love". ”

When the ticket clerk saw two of them, he said, "Please keep it, this is the tissue we gave to the lady in case you need it." ”

Five young people walked through the door of the theater, and a middle-aged man next to him asked, "Hey, why don't you guys go to see Murder on the Orient Express?" I actually chose that Chinese movie. ”

"We don't care about any movie, we're just going for Zachary. The king came. I heard that all the music in this movie was written and composed by him, and we wanted to listen to it first. ”

"yes, maybe there's another song in it that is full of '' words."

"Zachary is fantastic, we've seen him at the rock festival and he's something I'm proud of."

“……”

A few young people said one by one, making the middle-aged man shake his head and sigh, he didn't think that the Chinese could make any good movies, or even that blues. Lee is just a violent maniac who has transferred kung fu to movies, and these people know what kind of film art.

Diggs and Rayla are a middle-aged couple who came to the theater today in formal attire to watch a movie.

Today is a special day, their twenty-third wedding anniversary, and instead of choosing a candlelight dinner, Diggs and Rayla choose to come and see Audrey. Hepburn's movie - they each watched Audrey's "Roman Holiday" and met and fell in love when they traveled to Rome. From then on, they became Audrey. A big fan of Hepburn, every one of her plays will be watched at the first time.

There are many people like Diggs and Rayla in the United States, and they choose to watch "Ghost Love", purely for Audrey. Hepburn went.

Audrey. Hepburn's image of the outside world is so perfect that he is known as an angel walking in the world. And on the side of "Murder on the Orient Express", Ingrid. Bergman though is with Audrey. Hepburn was equally famous, but Ingrid. Bergman once left her husband behind and eloped with someone, and also gave birth to a son. This move directly attracted a collective ban by the Hollywood media, and fans were also disappointed in her. As a result, Bergman hibernated for nearly seven years before re-filming.

Ingrid. Although Bergman is famous, after that elopement, she no longer has many loyal fans. What's more, she is already old, and she had cancer last year, and she had two consecutive surgeries and cut off the left and right. ,

In the Chinese theater, there are not a few people sitting in the celebrity guest seats, but there are a lot of media reporters and film critics. The ordinary audience in the back row is a little interesting - most of the Chinese, blacks, and white young people are fans of Wang Zijun, while the elderly audience is purely Audrey. Fans of Hepburn. There are almost no people who really come to watch this movie, and maybe there are, and they are also attracted by the stunts in the TV trailer.

"Jose, isn't your hunch accurate? Guess how about this movie? The film was about to begin, Litter said with a smile to the lady beside him. Lipter is a columnist and freelance film critic who was paid to see the film by Dragon Tiger Films. However, he won't help Wang Zijun say good things because of this money, if the movie is bad, he will still criticize it.

The woman, Jose, said, "I guess it's going to be good." ”

Liberator smiled and asked, "Why?" Because you've seen other works by this director? ”

"No, I'm believing Audrey. Hepburn's aesthetic taste and vision. Jose smiled, "Audrey. Hepburn is very picky about both clothes and scripts. Zachary was able to impress her with the script, which shows that the plot of this movie is very good. ”

Litport raised his eyebrows and said in a joking tone: "Isn't it rumored that there is an affair between them, and Audrey will agree to filming?" ”。

"Don't make this kind of joke casually, back then Ingrid. That's how Bergman was banned. Jose was disgruntled.

"I don't think Audrey. Hepburn would have had such an experience. "Her current husband is such a bastard that everyone from Europe to the United States knows about it." If it's Audrey. Hepburn really found true love, and I think many people will applaud. ”

"Shut up, Litpotter, why are you rambling like a woman," Jose whispered.

"You know, I'm a writer, and I'm a writer of novelties." "So I'm more interested in the story of the makers themselves than in the film." ”

"Alright, the film is on, now please keep your mouth shut." Jose Road.

"OK" Litbot's eyes just stared at the screen, and suddenly turned his head again and said, "Jose, how about we go to dinner after watching the movie?" ”

"You're as noisy as a woodpecker," Jose glared, "You shut up for me...... Mouth"

"Of course, you see...... The feature film is coming. Litport pointed to the screen.

On the screen, a dragon and a tiger appear in a paper-cut animation, which seems to be fighting and fighting, and it seems to be playing and playing, and finally the dragon and tiger run and spin, the dragon is entrenched into a "D" shape, and the tiger is exaggerated and roars and twists into a "T" shape, and finally merges into the name of the film company "D*T", which is also the company's LOGO - Dragon and Tiger Fight.
