121 [Sensation in Taiwan: Final]

A week after the release of "Bloody Lonely City" in Taipei, it was also released in other regions, which immediately caused a sensation in Taiwan. In many places, almost the whole family goes to watch a movie at night, and theaters and film companies around the country collect money softly.

The direct result of this is that the ratings of the three major TV stations have plummeted, and the results are incomprehensible.

I have only heard of TV dramas that have caused thousands of empty alleys and stolen the limelight on the big screen, but I have never heard of a movie that can reduce the ratings of TV stations. Just like the original advertisement that drove up the ratings of the program.

Wang Zijun, can you be a little more wicked?

Bai Muyang once predicted that a movie in Taiwan would be at most like "Tangshan Big Brother", and the box office of 11 million would reach the limit, but the iron-clad reality proved that his idea was wrong.

In the past eight years, a "Shaolin Temple" in the mainland has a box office of more than 100 million. At that time, the population was only 1 billion people, and the ticket cost 1 cent, which was equivalent to men, women and children buying tickets to watch it once.

Is this possible? There is only one explanation, and that is that many people pay to see it once, twice...... Even ten times, it has lifted the box office alive.

Now the box office of "Bloody Lonely City" is also like this, some fans with conditions will go to queue for a while after work almost every night, go in to watch it when they buy a ticket, and go home to rest if they can't buy it.

The well-designed plot contradictions, the fiery pictures, and the ostrich mentality caused by Taiwan's withdrawal from the United Nations made everyone happy to hide in the bloody story and enjoy the film over and over again.

The soundtrack of "Bloody Lonely City" is a reference to some of the original titles, as well as famous films such as "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Gladiator", but this is not noticeable in the movie. On the contrary, "Changde is a Good Place", which was used as an interlude and theme song, suddenly became sung and became a song with a high rate of radio demand recently. Walking in the streets and alleys, I can occasionally hear the girls humming a slightly out-of-tune silk string tune. Even the original singer went from a little-known little singer to a popular singer all of a sudden.

After the film hit the air, the members of the entire crew became sweet. Not only did many companies invite Zhao Yazhi, Yu Yongde, Wang Zijun and other starring actors to film, but even the film appointments for supporting roles such as Ke Shouliang and Lin Fengjiao also followed. In this regard, Deng Guangrong is also very grateful to Wang Zijun, helping a popular actor break through his trapped, it is not easier than promoting a newcomer.

And the explosion that stunned the audience was gradually revealed: it turned out that these were all the masterpieces of Wang's company's pyrotechnicians.

Due to the success of "Bloody Lonely City", directors and film companies with a keen sense of smell decided to make war films to follow suit. Those with small costs are naturally following the trend through gimmicks, while large companies with real strength have begun to have frequent contact with pyrotechnic masters, vainly trying to dig up the wall, and even willing to pay high liquidated damages.

It's a pity that these men who were born as soldiers are more righteous - they can't do it if they don't talk about it, Wang Zijun helped them solve their family difficulties and gave them super high salaries, that is a benefactor. Whoever betrays his benefactor will not be despised to death by his companions!

As a result, those film companies only got a high remuneration to ask them to help with filming, and among these remunerations, Wang's company will extract 40% and 60% of the pyrotechnicians themselves.

The short-term training of Zhao Yazhi and other new actors has also come to an end, and they have begun to take on some good films, and the remuneration they receive is also to be shared with Wang's company.

Don't say that Wang Zijun is like a vampire, he single-handedly made these artists popular, and he also spent money on training for them. What's more, he pays these actors a lot of money every month. The actors go out to take on the play, which can be regarded as making extra money with the company's money.

Just when "Bloody Lonely City" was released in Taiwan, filmmakers in Hong Kong, South Korea, and even the entire Southeast Asia also heard the news, squeezing to Wang's Film Company every day, waiting to buy the film.

But now even the local copies of Taiwan are a little insufficient, how can they be arranged?

Want to buy a movie? Yes, let's line up honestly.

...... the popularity of "Bloody Lonely City" made Zheng Zhenkun have to postpone the Guanghui Band concert originally scheduled for this month, because people are waiting to watch movies now, where do they have the heart to listen to the concert?

Two weeks after the movie's release, the box office of the whole of Taiwan has reached a terrifying 7.2 million, except for Taipei, which has slightly decreased the number of moviegoers due to the first release, other regions still need to queue up to buy tickets.

This made other film companies on the island collectively broken, and more professionals joined the ranks of studying "Bloody Lonely City".

Qiong Yao commented in "Crown" magazine: "This is the only shocking film I have seen in my life, I have never seen it lightly, and I may never be able to feel the cruelty of war." In the days and nights after watching the movie, I often dreamed that a soldier was torn apart in front of my eyes, and blood was splattered everywhere. And when I woke up, I was just sweating profusely and sitting alone in bed.

I witnessed this war as a bystander, and I was already physically and mentally exhausted, so how strong is Wanqing, who has experienced these painful pains from beginning to end in the film!

Director Wang Zijun is obviously an expert storyteller, and he uses this strong woman in white to lead to a cruel and heroic war. From the time she stayed in the city for her lover, from a silk artist to a war nurse, from the fact that she knew that her lover was unlucky and still married herself, from the fact that she dragged her husband's body alone, until finally, she stood alone in front of the monument with the baby that represented hope...... This is the triumph of love and motherhood!

Here, I am very curious how the director found a gentle woman like Zhao Yazhi, who seems to have come out of an ancient ladies' painting, as if she was favored by God, and the aura of heaven and earth is all in one...... I admit here that with only this film, I have become a loyal fan of Zhao Yazhi, and I am looking forward to her next work. ”

Wang Zijun took the "Crown" magazine and read it for a long time, and finally had to sigh and admire, Qiong Yao deserves to be Qiong Yao, and a movie review was written by her as an essay.

As soon as Qiong Yao's comment came out, Zhao Yazhi's fans suddenly rose geometrically. Its salary has climbed to NT$250,000, which is close to some stars like Zhen Zhen, which makes other actresses envious.

The relationship between Zhao Yazhi and Lin Fengjiao is getting better and better, plus she wants to learn to speak Chinese as soon as possible, so she moved out of the rented house and temporarily moved into Lin Fengjiao's house.

Lin Fengjiao's family is actually quite spacious, and his father was quite generous when he came to Taiwan from the mainland, but later he couldn't get in and out, and he liked to read and buy books, and his body was sick, so the family road quickly fell apart. Now with Wang Zijun's funding, this big house that leaks rain and wind has finally been completely renovated a few days ago.

Zhao Yazhi dragged the salute to Lin Fengjiao's house, and the neighbors who came to watch when they heard the wind came to watch, calling Wanqing to Lin's house as a guest. One spread ten, ten spread hundreds, and soon the whole street came.

No matter how powerful Wang Zijun sang at the beginning, it was only a singing voice, except for one or two posters, he almost never showed his face, so although many people listened to his songs, they had never seen real people. But Zhao Yazhi showed her face greatly in the film, and it is not only young people who like her, but also many old people who are also her fans, so now Zhao Yazhi has caused a bigger sensation than Wang Zijun. (It is said that many years after the broadcast of "Huanzhu Gege", Zhao Wei went to a remote area to film, but was surrounded by a group of old men and old ladies in their seventies and eighties, shouting to come and see the son, which made Zhao Wei flattered and couldn't cry or laugh.) Zhao Yazhi was still a little complacent when she received letters from fans and signed autographs for fans she met by chance, but at this time she finally felt the pain of being a celebrity.

The audience surrounded the three layers inside and the outside for a whole hour, and finally gradually dispersed.

Both father and mother Lin like to watch movies, and they were all pleasantly surprised to see Zhao Yazhi come to their house.

Mother Lin even took Zhao Yazhi's hand and said, "Isn't this Wanqing?" When I saw her crying in the movie, I wanted to hug her and it hurt. ”

Lin Fengjiao smiled and said, "Mom, then you saw me die in the movie, how do you feel?" ”

"What does it feel?" Father Lin smiled, "Your mother cried all night." ”

"You're serious." Lin Fengjiao used to pester her mother and said, "Mom, this is Ah Zhi, her family is in Hong Kong, and she doesn't know Chinese very well, it is inconvenient to live outside alone, so I brought her home." ”

"It's good to come to the house, many people are lively." Mother Lin said happily, and asked Lin Fengjiao again, "Gillian, when can your boss come to the house for dinner?" ”

Lin Fengjiao didn't expect her mother to suddenly mention this, and when she saw Zhao Yazhi present, she said embarrassedly: "Mom, the boss is a busy man, where is the time?" I haven't even told him yet. ”

"It's one thing whether he's busy or not. Your boss takes such good care of our family, why do you have to invite someone to a meal to express your gratitude! Father Lin said.

Lin Fengjiao lowered her head and said, "I don't know if I can invite it." ”

Zhao Yazhi smiled: "He's not an immortal, what's not to invite?" It's on me. ”

"That's good, Ah Zhi still has the ability." Mother Lin boasted.

Lin Fengjiao felt a little aggrieved in her heart, her parents at home had a patriarchal concept, she loved her younger brother since she was a child, but she was a little discriminatory against herself. Now that Zhao Yazhi is at home, she looks like an outsider.

Lin Fengjiao asked Zhao Yazhi to go to the room to rest and help cook in the kitchen. Washing vegetable leaves in the palm of her calloused hand, she couldn't help but think of the time when Wang Zijun punched the man who did it to herself in the song hall, took off his clothes and draped it on herself.

The boss is really good to me!

It's a pity that the boss seems to have a girlfriend.

Thinking of this, Lin Fengjiao felt a faint unwillingness in her heart.
