"Xu, I think the head of this model should be bigger, and the eyes and mouth should be enlarged, so that it looks more fierce and terrifying......," said a modeler from Industrial Light & Magic in a large abandoned warehouse in Hong Kong, pointing to the drawings.

In the warehouse, in addition to Tsui Hark, there are three special effects personnel from Industrial Light & Magic, and six film special effects artists from Hong Kong and Hong Kong.

Tsui Hark has already negotiated with Wang Zijun, and he quit New Arts City to form his own Tsui Hark Film Studio. Naturally, the money was made by Wang Zijun, and Tsui Hark was only responsible for the production of the film and the regular operation of the studio, and owned 39% of the studio's shares.

Xu Hark is very satisfied with the shares, and the only thing that is a little unhappy is that Wang Zijun intervened in the script of "New Shushan Swordsman". After three rectifications, some of Tsui Hark's original ideas were disrupted, and Wang Zijun was barely satisfied.

The new script has not changed much in the overall plot compared with the "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" in parallel time and space, but there have been many changes in the details.

The whole play is divided into two episodes, and it is still from the perspective of the little soldier played by Yuan Biao, leading out and running through the entire Xianxia world.

The first episode focuses on the friendship between the swordsman Ding Yin played by Zheng Shaoqiu and the lord of Xianbao played by Guan Zhilin, and a big battle breaks out at the end. The demonized Zheng Shaoqiu went on a killing spree in the Immortal Castle, and everyone was defeated in a big battle, Guan Zhilin had to freeze the entire Immortal Castle and seal the enemy and me inside, only Yuan Biao, Meng Hai and Li Saifeng escaped.

The main scenes of the second episode are on Yuan Biao and Li Saifeng, and in the end, the purple and green swords were also obtained by Yuan Biao and Li Saifeng respectively. And the Yizhen monk played by Meng Hai grew up in tribulations, comprehended the true meaning of Buddhism and life, and became a qualified head of the Kunlun faction. The final battle is far more intriguing than Tsui Hark's original script, Yuan Biao, Meng Hai and Li Saifeng teamed up to deal with the demonized Zheng Shaoqiu, and finally Meng Hai was seriously injured, Yuan Biao and Li Saifeng relied on the purple and green swords to support hard, and at the moment when Guan Zhilin's life cost entangled Zheng Shaoqiu, the purple and green swords were combined, Yuan Biao and Li Saifeng were mighty, and after a vigorous battle, they finally eliminated the devil.

Compared with Tsui Hark's original script, the plot is the same, but the movie time is twice as long, and the many clues that are vague and incessant finally have time to sort out, and the rhythm has become normal.

After Wang Zijun nodded in agreement, Tsui Hark had to admit that the current script was much fuller than his original one. The dissatisfaction in his heart gradually disappeared, after all, it was he who changed the script, Wang Zijun just made a request, and did not directly use his script.

Just in this way, the movie budget will increase significantly. Originally, Tsui Hark's budget was 15 million Hong Kong dollars, but now the big "gaochao" part of the upper and lower episodes requires too many special effects, and after calculation, the budget for the entire "New Shu Mountain Swordsman" and the two episodes has a total of 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

If Wang Zijun's "Titanic" had not swept the box office, it is estimated that Tsui Hark himself would have retreated, and it would be difficult to recover the investment with a budget of 60 million Hong Kong dollars.

Wang Zijun has now invested the preliminary funds, but he can't start filming right away, but needs time to make the special effects model of "New Shushan Swordsman". To make this kind of blockbuster, it takes at least a few months to prepare for this kind of blockbuster.

Some people say that the filming process of Cameron's "Titanic" lasted five or six years, but in fact, the preparation time was also counted, and many of the diving shots at the beginning of the movie were real shots. Cameron, when there was no investment from the film company, he had already dived to the bottom of the sea several times to shoot the wreckage of the Titanic.

Wang Zijun's "Titanic", from sending people to collect information to explore the seabed, and then to the final film, also took more than three years.

While Tsui Hark and everyone were busy making models in the warehouse, Wang Zijun had already lifted his first trophy of this year's Golden Globe Awards on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.

"The winner of this year's Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song for Motion Picture is "Titanic" Zachary. King! ”

In the award hall, the song "Yesterday Reappeared" sounded, and in a round of applause, Wang Zijun walked onto the podium.

"Yesterday Reappeared" was supposed to be an old song from the 70s, but hell, when Wang Zijun was about to contact the copyright owner, he found that no one had sung the song in this time and space.

As a result, Wang Zijun became the natural author of this song.

The award presenters were a man and a woman, and the man was Henry. Fonda (actress Jane. Fonda's father), the daughter is last year's Oscar-winning actress Meryl. Split.

"Congratulations, Zachary, I've watched Titanic three times." Meryl. Split smiled.

"Thank you, you starred in "Sophie's Choice" is also great." Wang Zijun hugged the big beauty Meryl before turning around and Henry. Fonda shook hands and took the Ballon d'Or trophy from him.

After thanking the two guests for their congratulations, Wang Zijun raised the trophy and said, "This is a moment worth celebrating. Haha, I'm on the podium of the Golden Globes again, and it's an amazing experience as a songwriter. I think I'll always remember tonight. Also, I am very sorry that I was not able to attend the Golden Globe Awards ceremony last year, because the Chinese lunar calendar coincided with the New Year. ”

In the applause, Wang Zijun returned to his seat, and this was just the beginning. Three minutes later, Wang Zijun returned as a composer again, holding the trophy for the best soundtrack.

Soon after the award ceremony began, "Titanic" had already won two trophies, and the reporters at the scene were excited, and they had already finished the draft of "Titanic" sweeping the Golden Globe Awards.

Johnny next to Wang Zijun. Depp and Monica. Bellucci is also secretly looking forward to it, they were nominated for Best Actor and Actress, and if they can win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and Actress for the first time they make a movie, their star journey will be brighter.

But it's a pity that the next Best Screenplay Award was won by "Mother and Daughter Love".

"Mother-Daughter Love" and "Titanic" were released only a few days apart, and they are also the favorites to win awards, and after winning the best screenplay, "Mother-Daughter Love" won the Best Supporting Actor and Actress trophy in a row.

Alas, it should be regarded as compensation, Wang Zijun thought to himself.

"Mother and Daughter Love", which should have had a box office of more than 100 million, was forced to more than 80 million by "Titanic", and the box office was one-third less.

30 minutes later, Wang Zijun once again stepped onto the podium as a director. Received the award on stage in several capacities, which almost broke the record of the Golden Globe Awards.

"Haha, today is a big catch." Bruce Lee said with a smile, he and his wife Linda also came today to cheer for Wang Zijun.

Frank, the general manager of Dragon Tiger Film Company, is now remorseful in his heart, and only hates why he didn't invest a little more in the filming of "Titanic", so that now Wang Zijun has taken most of the box office.

Although Wang Zijun has become the absolute controlling person of Dragon and Tiger Film Company after the last additional funds. But he hardly took care of the company's operations, but what Bruce Lee and Frank said worked better in the company.

Regarding the filming of "Titanic", Wang Zijun naturally used his identity as the boss to force Frank to pay, but it was inevitable that he would have an unpleasant quarrel with Bruce Lee, so he didn't force it.

Anyway, Wang Zijun still has a lot of private money in the bank, and there is nowhere to invest.

Next, the awards for the actor and actress began, and the dreams of Johnny and Monica, who had infinite expectations, were shattered, the best actor was taken away by "The Costume Maker", and the best actress was taken away by "Mother-Daughter Love", and they didn't have their share at all.

"The winners of this year's Best Picture in the Drama category are "Titanic" and "Mother-Daughter Love"!"

Frank then stood up with a smile and walked onto the stage with the producers of "Mother and Daughter Love".

After the awards ceremony, Bruce Lee asked at the dinner: "Ah Jun, do you have an idea for the next movie?" ”

"That's right, Zachary, what is your budget this time, as long as it doesn't exceed 100 million, the company can invest in full." Frank also encouraged that he was stimulated by the high box office of "Titanic".

"Me?" Wang Zijun shook the red wine in his glass and said with a smile, "I decided to quit Hollywood." ”

Wang Zijun's voice was not loud, but the surrounding Bruce Lee, Frank, Lazim, Johnny, Monica and others all stopped talking and looked at Wang Zijun in surprise.

"Ah Jun, you're not joking, are you?" Bruce Lee asked.

"Huh." Wang Zijun smiled but did not say anything.

After the Golden Globe Awards dinner, the news of Wang Zijun's decision to quit Hollywood was not known by anyone, and it was published in The Hollywood Reporter the next day.

This exciting news immediately attracted the attention of countless people, and there were different opinions for a while. However, most people think that this is misinformation, after all, Wang Zijun has just broken a Hollywood box office record with a movie.

After winning four awards at the Golden Globe Awards, Wang Zijun did not return to Taiwan immediately. b, because in two weeks he will be on the Walk of Fame.

Wang Zijun was actually nominated for star award in the first half of last year, when "Titanic" had not yet started. The nomination process for Star Nominations closes on May 31 each year, and the following months are devoted to discussing the next year's recipients.

The Avenue of Stars Committee had not yet decided when to award Wang Zijun a star, but the popularity of "Titanic" immediately made them make a decision and set the time for the end of March.

The star award has not yet arrived, but the nominations for the Academy Awards have come out first.

This time, "Titanic" won a total of 15 nominations for Best Original Music, Best Sound Editing, Best Film Song, Best Effects, Best Sound, Best Editing, Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Original Screenplay, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Picture, one more than Cameron's original "Titanic".

Similarly, such a large number of nominations once again broke the Oscar record.

And the trophy of the Golden Globe Awards is just the beginning, this year's major film festivals around the world, I am afraid that Wang Zijun will win the award softly.
