The time is about to enter the middle of March 1979, and the spy war film "The Wind" has been prepared and can start filming immediately. The director's affairs were handed over to the Japanese director named Hitohide Kobayashi, and Wang Zijun did not interfere too much.

The Taipei Music Festival has not yet opened, and the news about the Golden Globe Awards has been transmitted back from the United States. "The Face of the Heroes", which did not win any awards in the previous life, actually won five nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Screenplay, and Most Popular Actress in one fell swoop.

Since its premiere, "The Face of the Two" has been on the screen in North America for more than two months, and although the number of screens is gradually reduced, there are still more than 800 canvases showing the film in the United States, with an average attendance rate of more than 9%. It seems that there is no problem with "The Face Snatcher" being screened for four months.

At the box office, "The Face of the Heroes" also shocked the attention of Hollywood counterparts.

"Superman", a blockbuster with an investment budget of $55 million, should have grossed more than $300 million worldwide and nearly $200 million in North America. But because there was suddenly more "Face Snatcher", the North American box office of "Superman" was 140 million, so it had to be drawn in advance.

became the box office champion in January and February in the 1979 North American film market in a row, and two months have passed, and the call for "Two Heroes" has not disappeared, but has become louder and louder.

As of a few days ago, the North American box office of "The Faces of the Two" has reached $182 million, and there is still no sign of stopping. Some people have already begun to predict the total box office of "The Face of the Two" in professional film magazines, and the result is a global box office of 500 million US dollars.

Last summer's "Hot Prodigals" was also a high box office, with a North American box office of 188 million and a global box office of a terrifying $395 million. The North American box office of "The Face Snatcher" is about to surpass "The Hot Prodigal", and it should be no problem to hold on for another month, reaching 250 million to 300 million. And Wang Zijun's personal appeal in Asia is too strong, and his influence in Europe is also good, and the overseas box office of "Two Heroes" is definitely higher than that of "Hot Prodigal Son".

With 500 million US dollars, or even more, Wang Zijun's fame and influence in the world film industry will reach a peak that most directors cannot surpass.

Compared with the high box office of "The Face of the Two", Robert. De Niro's "Deer Hunter" is a bit tragic. This Vietnam War film with an investment of 15 million US dollars received rave reviews as soon as it was released, but unfortunately the box office is now only a pitiful more than 20 million US dollars, and the overseas box office is not very favorable, and 10 million is content. Typical applause is not popular.

Many American filmmakers are studying "The Face Killer" and the mystery of the film's success, and the result is that MGM, 20th Century Fox, and Time Warner, the three film giants, released three science fiction films at the same time, all of which are selling high-tech and action scenes of the future.

Who says Hollywood doesn't follow suit?

Yuan Heping and Cheng Xiaodong are now frequently receiving invitations from the United States, inviting them to go to Hollywood to be action directors.

If George. Lucas's "Star Wars" set off a Star Wars and alien craze, and Wang Zijun's "Face Snatcher" brought a whirlwind of high-tech movies.

If there's a secret to success, it's that this movie doesn't belong to this era! This is a movie that can make Americans stunned twenty years later, and how can it not make American audiences flock to it at this time.

The impact of "The Face of the Two" in the United States is not just at the box office. Not to mention that this movie has become a textbook film of the genre, the people are more talking about the high technology in the film, and whether the so-called face change surgery is possible in the future. If it is feasible, then it is a great blessing for people who are disfigured, disabled, etc.

What followed was a great discussion about ethics. If you can change your face, as in the film, a wife sleeps with someone who is not her husband in a daze, which is obviously not in line with people's values. …,

At first, a group of non-professionals were arguing, and later well-known medical scientists and scientists joined in, expressing their opinions in the media. In the book market, because of Wang Zijun's "Harry Potter" and Lucas's "Star Wars", magic and interstellar novels were quite popular. As soon as "The Face of the Heroes" came out, someone quickly serialized urban soft science fiction novels in magazines, and the market responded well.

And Paradise Electronic Technology Company, which was renamed by MITS Company, also became famous again because of a "Face Winning Heroes". The high-tech records in the film are printed with the logo of Paradise Electronic Technology Company everywhere, which makes fans curious and ask around, and more and more people remember the name of this company.

Since February, sales of several personal computers of Paradise Electronic Technology have increased significantly, and some sellers who have not been in contact with them have taken the initiative to send orders.

Paradise Electronic Technology Co., Ltd., which is the largest personal computer company, has been making such a fuss for two months, and the company's share of the U.S. personal computer market has suddenly soared to 70%. Computer companies like Apple can only pick up leftovers from Paradise Electronic Technology.

However, it is still unknown whether it can maintain this seventy percent market share, because the behemoth IBM is already planning to set up a personal computer department, and wants to enter this gradually mature personal computer market to pick fruits.

In two or three days, the Golden Globe Awards will be held at the award ceremony, but Wang Zijun has no time to receive the award, so he can only let Lazim receive it on his behalf.

Here in Taipei.

In less than half a month, Tao Jianzhang took his newly recruited assistants and put a rough design plan in front of Wang Zijun.

Wang Zijun couldn't understand the design drawing, so he could only look at the renderings next to him.

Wang Zijun almost squirted out when he saw it, he asked Tao Jianzhang to design it more Chinese, but he didn't expect Tao Jianzhang to directly make it into the shape of a pagoda. At first glance, it looks a bit like the Taipei 101 of the later generations, but the details are different.

The tower's floors were increased from 30 to 36, and these above-ground floors were divided into 6 sections, each with 6 floors. Each section of the six-storey building is in the form of a regular hexagonal column, like a traditional Chinese tower, and the cross-sectional area of each section is gradually reduced upwards until it becomes a spire.

Wang Zijun joked: "Mr. Tao, are you designing a skyscraper, or a Liuhe Tower?" Six is the number of kun, hexagonal, hexagonal, six-sided, six-level, six-layer, how heavy is this yin qi! ”

"Boss, do you think it's unlucky?" Tao Jianzhang asked.

"No, just say it. Sixty or six Shun, Mr. Tao, your building has a good meaning, and it is smooth to the end. Wang Zijun looked at the pagoda-like building, nodded and said, "The four directions of heaven and earth are called Liuhe, and this building is simply called Liuhe Building." ”

On the renderings, there is a small square directly south of Liuhe Building, and outside the square is the street of the fifth section of Renyi Road. To the north of the building, there is a plum garden, surrounded by plum blossoms, is a nine-story high-rise building, here is Wang Zijun asked to build a staff elevator apartment.

Wang Zijun not only bought Taipei 101 in the future, but also took the land in the third exhibition hall of the World Trade Center behind the 101 building. If it weren't for that, it wouldn't cost more than NT$15 million to buy land, and seven or eight million would be enough.

"Hehe," Wang Zijun counted the floors and said with a smile, "As soon as I said that the yin qi was too heavy, you came to a nine-story number, and the ten-story staff dormitory I originally planned was changed to nine floors." ”

"Contemptible people also know a little about the art of feng shui." Tao Jianzhang pointed to the renderings and said, "The staff dormitory is Qian, and the Liuhe Building is Kun." Boss, you see, from here to here, it is an acquired gossip array. Dig a small pond here, as a barrier, you can improve the environment, but also for people to play; There is a canteen here, and the main ...... away from the fire"

Wang Zijun looked at Tao Jianzhang, who was talking eloquently, and said in a sweat: "I'm also going to invite a feng shui master, it seems that this money is saved." ”

"It's just a little trick, and it can't be used in the United States." Tao Jianzhang said with a smile. …,

Wang Zijun took the renderings, the more he looked at them, the more satisfied he became, and finally said: "OK, just use this plan, you go back and improve the design, and then ask someone to make a project budget to see how much it will cost." ”

Tao Jianzhang said: "I roughly estimated that if it is built according to my ideas, the cost of the entire park will reach more than 6 billion." ”

Six billion Taiwan dollars? It's less than $16 million.

Wang Zijun said: "No problem, you don't have to worry about money." ”

Tao Jianzhang was secretly speechless, he didn't know how much this lord was, and he agreed without blinking an eyelid.

Tao Jianzhang left happily, in fact, he had some ideas for this design plan before - to combine Western architecture with traditional Chinese culture. Now it is finally a dream come true, as long as the entire park is completed, his Tao Jianzhang name is absolutely famous in the world.

What about the high buildings in the United States and Japan? Architecture is not just measured by height.

Tao Jianzhang was happy, and Wang Zijun was also happy.

The building was originally built only because of the shortage of existing office space, and the plan was to change the building from 15 to 30 floors, and then from 30 to 36 floors, and then to the entire large campus. Wang Zijun now treats it more as a personal habit, because repairing the building in this way is purely burning money.

Of course, the benefits are not without it.

Once the park is completed, it can increase the attributes of your own strength, just like the totems in some civilization games. For example, the fame of the company and individuals, such as the cohesion of employees, etc., at least, with this park, countless people will rush to enter the Wang Film Group.

Money is inexhaustible, and when it is earned, it must be spent.

Wang Zijun's mind is full of the idea of a small landlord, and as soon as he has money, he will invest in industry, and the business of buying land and repairing buildings to ensure income during drought and flood is more in line with his appetite.

Looking at the renderings in front of him, Wang Zijun suddenly had an idea, after the futures are harvested, the money will simply be taken to the Maldives to buy an island. It seems that several five-star islands named after Hilton in later generations have not yet been developed. After buying the island, not only can you be the owner of the island, but you can also wait for a decade or two later, when the transportation and communication technology is developed, to make money from tourists all over the world.
