Lam's "Mr. Zombie" was released in the United States and Canada on Halloween, the first time a Chinese ghost film landed in North America.

Obviously, American movie fans are still a little uncomfortable with those oriental vampires jumping around, even if they enter the screening room out of curiosity or accidentally, and when they see zombies coming out to bite people, they laugh out loud because of their funny behavior, and they don't look scared at all.

I can't help but say that as a ghost movie released on Halloween, "Mr. Zombie" was a real failure, not only did it not scare people, but it made the house laugh.

After entering December, Hollywood's Christmas blockbusters began to be released one after another, and "Mr. Zombie", which was released for a month, had to be fully drawn, with a total box office of less than two million US dollars in North America.

This is already very good, and the box office of several Chinese ghost films that landed in North America at the same time did not add up to as much as "Mr. Zombie".

"The Three Heroines of the East", which set off an oriental craze in Europe, was also released in North America before Christmas.

Since the film caused quite a stir in Europe, the entertainment media in the United States began to guess with great interest how much "The Three Heroines of the East" would sell in the United States.

This Christmas, the most promising box office is Universal's "Out of Africa" and MGM's "Rocky 4". The former has a budget of $31 million, and the male and female protagonists Robert Redford and Meryl Streep are both big names; And the latter is a work directed and acted by superaction star Stallone, this guy's summer "First Blood 2" only won a box office of 100 million US dollars, and the first three parts of "Rocky" sold well, fans have high expectations for this "Rocky 4".

Wang Zijun's "Three Heroines of the East" will be screened two days later than "Out of Africa", and one day earlier than "Rocky 4", and the situation that the three films are released next to each other is destined to have a bloody taste of Christmas this year.

"Out of Africa" only made more than 2 million at the box office in the first day, but the unanimous praise from film critics made the box office begin to rise rapidly in the next few days, and the box office in the first week was close to 30 million. As more and more movies are released on the Christmas schedule, the attendance rate of "Out of Africa" in the second week began to slowly decrease, and the weekly box office did not exceed 20 million.

After all, the genre is different when it comes out of Africa, but "The Three Heroines of the East" and "Rocky 4" are both action movies, and the fight is even more ferocious.

Stallone is a super action superstar, and Wang Zijun has a lot of die-hard fans, and the box office of the two movies is competing for each other, and the gap has never exceeded 1 million.

In the past two weeks, the box office of "Three Women of the East" is $46.17 million, and the box office of "Rocky 4" is $45.82 million. Although "Rocky 4" is slightly lower, after all, "The Three Heroines of the East" was released one day earlier, and Wang Zijun lost in comparison.

However, at this time, the media's evaluation of the two films began to play a role.

As a sequel, and the fourth sequel, film critics have said that "Rocky 4" tastes like chewing wax. The passionate and uplifting spirit of the first three "Rocky" is infuriating, but what about the fourth? The elements that should be used are already old, and they are still running to fight with the Soviets, mixed with Cold War elements and patriotic feelings, and the motives are quite impure.

Discerning film critics directly concluded that "Rocky 4" has ruined this series of movies. It may be that the box office of "Rocky 4" will be higher than the first three, but the appeal of "Rocky" will be greatly reduced in the hearts of fans, coupled with the aesthetic fatigue of the audience, the box office of the next "Rocky" may not be satisfactory.

As for the evaluation of "The Three Heroines of the East", many film critics did not hesitate to praise it.

In the film review column of The Hollywood Reporter, a famous film critic wrote: ""The King's Angel" is obviously borrowed from the TV series "Charlie's Angel". But the Chinese director was ingenious, with three beautiful Oriental heroines, plus authentic Oriental music, costumes and culture, which dazzled Western audiences...... In this film, Zachary uses the violent aesthetic he proposed a few years ago to perfection, and the design of the action scenes completely throws away from the Hollywood genre of the same genre...... As a purely commercial action movie, the gorgeous kung fu fights are dazzling, and they don't even dare to blink their eyelids, for fear that they will miss the wonderful content......"

Entering the third week, American audiences, who are somewhat aesthetically tired of the "Rocky" series of movies, began to abandon "Rocky 4" in favor of "The Three Heroines of the East", and the box office of the two films was quickly pulled away.

Shortly after entering the New Year's Day, "The Three Heroines of the East" seemed to be beaten with chicken blood, and the North American box office finally broke 100 million. However, "Rocky 4" is worse than the data in parallel space, only more than 70 million, and the stamina is obviously insufficient.

So far, "The Three Heroines of the East", which is still being released, has a global box office of 100 million US dollars, surpassing the already completed "ET" by more than 60 million.

The success of "Three Heroines of the East" in North America is not only about the box office, but also indicates that after Bruce Lee, Asian action movies have finally entered the Western film industry again.

Not only are Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Iraqi Laudia remembered by American fans, but even the two villains Kurata Hoaki and Chiba Shinichi are also well-known in the United States. And Guan Zhilin and Miyuki Nakajima, who played supporting roles, have also been asked by American film companies to play Asian roles.

The Asian media began to report on the success of "Three Heroines of the East" in North America, and the release of the film in South America and India was also put on the agenda, and it was expected to be released in March and May 1986.

.............................. success of "Three Heroines of the East" made Wong Pictures famous, and the opening logo of "Tiger Descending" was deeply imprinted in the minds of Western audiences.

Wang Zijun himself was also relieved and began to prepare for "A Chinese Ghost Story" unhurriedly.

finally dispelled the concerns in Zhang Guorong's heart and agreed to play Ning Caichen, but a gossip news made his good mood disappear.

"Asia's No. 1 Director Breaks Out Another Scandal, Mysterious "Mother-in-law" Makes Trouble in Xiangjiang

The news first came out from Singapore's "Lianhe Wan Wanbao", which specializes in reporting gossip news, and the original text is as follows: "According to a lady surnamed Luo, Wang Zijun, a romantic director with a number of beautiful women, has a close relationship with Hong Kong beauty Guan Zhilin, Guan Zhilin not only freely enters and leaves Wang Zijun's villa in Hong Kong's mid-levels, but also his latest Ferrari car is also a gift from Wang Zijun...... Ms. Luo said that her daughter was also hidden by Wang Zijun's golden house, and she wanted to move to the 'golden house' that Wang Zijun had set up for her daughter to live with, but was stopped by Guan Zhilin, and the two broke out into a physical conflict...... Out of resentment in her heart, Ms. Luo decided to expose the matter so that the public could see Guan Zhilin's true face......

After the "United Evening News" issued the news, Shao Daheng's wireless jade station quickly dispatched reporters to follow up and report on the matter, and it seemed that Wang Zijun would not give up.

Wang Zijun has recently become popular because of the hot sale of "Three Heroines of the East" in the United States, and other media will not let go of this opportunity and reprint it one after another.

The six ladies in the family now have a sense of resentment when they look at Wang Zijun, Wang Zijun is holding back his anger and has nowhere to go, so he finds a place where no one is there and calls Guan Zhilin with a black face.

But after broadcasting for a long time, the line has been busy, and I can't get through directly, and Guan Zhilin's phone has been blown up by reporters.

In desperation, Wang Zijun had to call Le Yun's side, and Le Yun finally explained the matter clearly for a long time.

It turned out that Le Yun's mother was jealous of the villa, and she didn't have a few money left, so she had to move in, and she happened to meet Guan Zhilin when she moved and came back to get things.

Guan Zhilin was very jealous, she naturally didn't dare to pour vinegar on Lin Qingxia, Zhao Yazhi and others, and even she didn't dare to bully Liu Jialing. But there is no psychological burden to deal with Luo Fengying, Guan Zhilin, who is not used to seeing the fox spirit of Le Yun, directly ordered the doorman of the original villa not to allow irrelevant idlers to come in.

Luo Fengying is not a fuel-efficient lamp, after hearing that Guan Zhilin was the obstacle, she couldn't enter the high-end villa to enjoy the noble life, and the surname Suo came to a dead end.

ran to several newspapers in Hong Kong, hindering Wang Zijun's face, those media did not accept the news, but I didn't expect her to have the ability to poke the news to Singapore.

"What the is going on!" Wang Zijun hung up the phone and threw Big Brother to Lin Bowen. There were too many lice and it was not itchy, so he asked for his surname to go back to his room and sleep.

But he couldn't sleep well, and not long after he lay down, Lin Bowen said wildly: "Brother Jun, something is wrong." ”

"What's the matter?" Wang Zijun asked angrily.

Lin Bowen said: "On the roof of the Meiyuan [***] Building, there is a girl who wants to jump off the building. ”

Wang Zijun said: "If you want to jump off the building to find the fire brigade and find the police, what's the use of looking for me?" ”

Lin Bowen replied: "That girl is your fan, and she flew here from Yuben to marry you as a little wife." She waited in Wang's Mansion for a long time and didn't find you, and when she saw the scandal you just broke out, she ran to the roof of the building crying and wanted to jump off the building. Now the negotiator is trying to persuade you, but it is useless, the girl said that she wants to see you before she dies. ”

"Holy!" Wang Zijun couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, rubbed his face and said, "Prepare the car!" ”

Sitting in the car, Wang Zijun rubbed his temples, fans were looking for death and life for their idols, and it was hot for any star to stand up.

In the parallel space, Cheng Long was exposed due to his relationship with Lin Fengjiao, and a female fan was directly lying on the rails. The other ran over to marry Cheng Long, but because he couldn't see Cheng Long himself, he was disheartened and committed suicide by swallowing medicine, but fortunately he was rescued.

Because Wang Zijun accepted Lin Fengjiao, this space-time mileage dragon did not cause a martyrdom storm among fans, but how did he let himself be on the wheel again?

A few years ago, when Wang Zijun's peachy scandal was exposed, many fans were clamoring for suicide, but that was just talking, no one has really done that yet, and now it's really playing!
