666 [God of Wealth Wang Zijun]
On December 1, 1984, Hollywood Dragon Tiger Pictures (D&T) held a press conference to announce that the movie "Titanic" was drawn around the world.
Compared with the "Titanic" in the parallel space, even if there is less box office in Chinese mainland and the Soviet Union, Wang Zijun's "Titanic" still won the box office of 100 million US dollars.
Although it is one-third less than the $1.8 billion box office of the original 97 version, counting the inflation of more than ten years before and after, Wang Zijun's film actually sold more at the box office. Similarly, Wang Zijun's budget cost is much higher, and due to the lack of computer special effects technology, he actually spent 200 million US dollars.
Someone helped Wang Zijun calculate that the global box office of 100 million yuan, plus the original soundtrack records that sold more than 10 million and the videos that sold millions of sales, calculated according to Wang Zijun's share ratio in all links, Wang Zijun has a net income of more than 500 million US dollars for only one movie "Titanic".
In 1984, 500 million US dollars could already be ranked on the Forbes list of the 400 richest people in the United States.
When Dragon Tiger Films announced the final box office, countless Titanic fans cheered, and fans everywhere spontaneously organized celebrations, which were as lively as a festival.
Hollywood's famous directors are secretly gasping one by one. Wang Zijun made a movie with a box office of more than $1 billion and ran away, leaving a box office record that they could only look up to, as if it was casting a shadow over their heads.
The New York Times joked: "I buy companies in the United States like candy, and King Zachary sells movies in the United States like diamonds, and Americans' wallets have been emptied by them." ”
The Hollywood Reporter article concludes "Titanic": ""Titanic has achieved many movie tops: the most expensive movie in history (the final investment reached more than $180 million), the most Oscar-winning film in history (12 Oscars), and the highest-grossing film in history (100 million dollars at the global box office)...... King Zachary is worthy of being an Asian madman (or genius), and he has set a box office record that no one will be able to break in the next 20 years. ”
Even the serious Wall Street Newspaper came to join in the fun, analyzing Wang Zijun's investment and operation over the years on its international business news page: "Forbes' analysis of Zachary Wang's assets in August is very rough, because Forbes only estimates Wang's assets in the United States. A simple investigation shows that Wang is the largest shareholder of a Hong Kong television station, and he owns companies in Taiwan in many fields such as food, construction, records, movies, animation, manufacturing, etc., and he is basically the largest shareholder in these companies...... Then there's tourism in the Maldives, where King Zakary and the British hotelier invested and developed in the Maldives as a classic, and now reaps a double return on investment, and the region's tourism potential is still rising. The islands bought by Wang and his partners were conservatively estimated to be worth $3 billion ten years later...... Don't think that King Zakary has cards in his hand after these, according to a detailed investigation by an agency, we found that King Zakary bought the shares of more than 30 companies in a short period of time after the two oil crises in 1974 and 1979, including Coca-Cola, Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, ...... In this regard, we can see that Wang's investment vision is very accurate, and the Wal-Mart stock that he bought with an investment of only $10 million in 1974 has now appreciated 16 times...... Based on the above statistics, we can calculate that King Zachary's personal assets are not $4 billion as Forbes said, but a staggering $5.8 billion, which is $900 million more than the richest man in the United States today. Moreover, this is only the assets that King Zachary can find, and no one will know how many secret vaults he has hidden......"
Previously, Forbes magazine said that Wang Zijun's net worth exceeded $4 billion, and many people were already exclaiming that it was impossible. Now the "Wall Street Newspaper", which has always been known for its rigor and seriousness, published an article reporting that his real surname has been greatly enhanced, and Wang Zijun's assets have increased by nearly 2 billion.
Some people are even exclaiming that Wang Zijun is the richest man in the world, what is it that the person who is richer than the richest man in the United States is not the richest man in the world?
Wang Zijun knows his own family affairs, and he is really nothing compared to those invisible rich. Like those oil and pharmaceutical tycoons in the United States, that is the real person who does not show his face.
Let's just say that Yoshiaki Di, who claimed to have bought one-sixth of the land of Yuben, was only the richest man in the United States two or three years later, and his personal assets were close to 20 billion US dollars, and he was the richest man in the world for four consecutive years - until he was cut and sucked by the United States.
Originally, newspapers around the world were only reporting on "Titanic", and the attention of the actors and actresses Johnny Depp and Monica Bellucci was not lower than that of director Wang Zijun.
Until the report of the "Wall Street Newspaper" came out, various media focused on Wang Zijun alone. Envy, admiration, jealousy, and even slander, all kinds of expressions.
The biggest questioning voice is where Wang Zijun in 1974 got tens of millions of dollars to invest in stocks?
In connection with the Jiangnan murder case that caused a stir some time ago, many newspapers speculated that Wang Zijun's funds were likely to be illegally obtained from the Bamboo Union Gang.
This statement has been recognized by many people, and even some media in Hong Kong are taking pains to recount Wang Zijun's original sin of capital. Gangsters in Hong Kong and Taiwan even regard Wang Zijun as an example of struggle, dreaming of earning him tens of millions of dollars by relying on mixed gangs.
Chen Qili, the spiritual leader of the Bamboo Union Gang, who has been whitewashed as an entrepreneur, scoffed at this statement in an interview: "If the Bamboo Union Gang at that time could come up with tens of millions of dollars? Do I need to go to Green Island to sing a serenade because of NT$600,000? ”
What made Wang Zijun feel innocent the most was that some so-called non-party progressives in Taiwan actually used this to attack the Taiwan authorities. Saying that Wang Zijun is a major general of the Kuomintang is the best proof of the collusion between the authorities and the government and businessmen, so Wang Zijun's net worth rose like a rocket in the 70s. At one time, it corresponded, but it was tens of millions of low-level ordinary people in Taiwan, who could only make ends meet every time they were tired and tired, and all their hard-earned money was sucked dry by officials and businessmen like Wang Zijun.
In the past, those non-party progressives often scolded Wang Zijun as a lackey of the authorities, but this was the first time such a vicious direct attack, and Wang Zijun didn't know what kind of expression to use in response.
Of course, only a few people cursed and questioned Wang Zijun, and in Hong Kong and Taiwan, more people recited Wang Zijun as a business genius. Shareholders who like to speculate in stocks even talk about Wang Zijun's "invincible" stock investment and call Wang Zijun the "god of stocks".
Hong Kong, a strange place where celebrities "raise ghosts" in the 21st century, is quite fascinated by mysterious and mysterious things. Linked to Wang Zijun's 30 years old and not old at all, a certain immortal watched the sky at night, and after carefully measuring Wang Zijun's birthday, he came to a conclusion, saying that Wang Zijun was the reincarnation of Zhao Gongming, the God of Wealth, and said that Lin Qingxia, Lin Fengjiao, Zhao Yazhi and Teresa Teng were the four little gods of wealth who sat down with the God of Wealth - that is, Zhaocai, Nazhen, Zhaobao, and Lishi. Only by marrying these four little gods of wealth can Wang Zijun reincarnate and practice this time to complete his merits. The main evidence of this point is that Lin Qingxia's daughters are born with a prosperous husband, but any man who marries them will have a smooth sail in his career.
As for Audrey Hepburn, it is even more unattainable, but the reincarnation of Demiller, the goddess of wealth in the West. Why didn't Audrey Hepburn live with her first two husbands for long? How can a mortal be worthy of God! It wasn't until she met Wang Zijun, the god of wealth in the East, that Audrey Hepburn, the goddess of wealth in the West, was broken through her previous life and followed Wang Zijun without hesitation. This is also the reason why Audrey Hepburn is in her 50s and has been rejuvenated, because she has been empowered by Wang Zijun to restore her supernatural powers...... Well, this great immortal is really like a storyteller, and he believes the believers in the clouds, and even this statement is getting more and more widespread, and the TV station invites him to give a lecture.
As a result, some of the statues of the God of Wealth that Hong Kong citizens later invited home to worship actually looked like Wang Zijun, and the four little gods of wealth below also became female faces. Not many people know about the Western goddess of wealth, Demille, who has also been invited home by some elites who have received Western education, to worship every day with incense.
For this kind of legend, Wang Zijun couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it, this said that he was a god of stocks, and he could barely accept it, saying that it was the god of wealth that was really open-minded. Fortunately, he only said that he was Zhao Gongming, and did not say that he was the second master of Guan Guan, the god of martial arts, otherwise those clubs would not be so troublesome in the future, and when they acted urgently, they could light a cigarette directly at the poster of Wang Zijun at the door of the movie theater as incense.
………………
"Yumin, let's do it again there just now, the No. 1 machine is reset!" On Yangming Mountain, Wang Zijun, the God of Wealth, is directing the shooting.
These are the last shots, with teenagers chasing the police on bicycles to send the recovered aliens home.
The stunt stand-ins are all good at playing bicycles, but because many of them are underage, Wang Zijun took great pains when signing a contract with them, and Wang Zijun had to bear a lot of responsibility in case of an accident.
"Stunt team ready!"
"Open mic!"
"Eksh!"
The ET model was carried in the front pocket of the bicycle, and a ten-year-old stunt teenager waited for the bicycle to speed down the mountain road, suddenly flew up from the slope and fell more than a meter high, and then a sharp turn swept past the moving police car like a car drifting, and several teenagers on bicycles followed closely behind.
"Click!" Wang Zijun pinched his sweat when he saw it, and shouted immediately after seeing that the action was completed, followed by the next shot.
After passing the police car, there were a series of thrilling actions, but for safety reasons, Wang Zijun could only take them apart and shoot them one by one.
A chase scene was filmed for three days, and then it was to find Lin Zhiying and other young actors to come back and make up for the face-revealing scenes.
