377 [Big Three]
In the blink of an eye, New Year's Day 1976 is approaching.
Prior to this, the stars of "Food Truck" Cheng Long and Yuan Biao Yijing were exposed, followed by the appearance of actor and action director Sammo Hung.
Well, at this time, as long as you are not a brain, you know that Wang Zijun is making a kung fu movie.
After the three were exposed, Wang's Film Company revealed the stills of a character to the outside world every day. For example, Irushandu, Taiwan's "Next Magazine" and Hong Kong's Starlight released Irushandu's image in the play almost at the same time, and the following also lists his various materials in detail, including his kung fu.
Then there is Kaibo, as a disciple of Bruce Lee, he is also very popular in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Until Albert, a handsome European gentleman, held a heavy sword, a photo was published, and it was also marked that this person was an authentic descendant of nobility, a famous Italian swordsman, and played the villain in the play. At this time, before the film was released, Albert had won his first fans in Asia.
No way, Albert's appearance is too handsome, with an aristocratic temperament, handsome appearance, illustrious background, superb strength and melancholy eyes, once the information is released, it will kill the hearts of many ** girls.
At this time, although the Hong Kong and Taiwan film industry does not have a mask face like the model dramas in the mainland, for box office considerations, the distinction between loyalty and treachery is still very strong, for example, people with a treacherous face must not play the protagonist, such people are all sought-after goods to play villains. In this regard, a film critic in "Ming Pao Weekly" ridiculed: "Perhaps, this Mr. Albert is the most handsome and temperamental final villain in the history of Shijie movies so far." Such people used to play positive roles, and Wang Zijun really dared to break the tradition, and even flouted the rules. ”
When the various secondary supporting characters were released at a rate of three people per day, Yijing was only five days left before the release of "Food Truck".
At this time, people found out that all the characters came out, but they didn't see where the heroine was.
Heroine Laura. Where's Foner? Hide in Taipei and learn Chinese from a Chinese teacher.
January 1, 1976.
Wang Zijun and his wife Lin Qingxia appeared at Zhang Chong's wedding, Zhang Chong played Yuan Biao's neurotic father in "Fast Food Truck", he was originally supposed to get married a few months ago, but in order to help Wang Zijun film, the wedding date was postponed for half a year. reciprocated the favor, Wang Zijun naturally wanted to attend his wedding.
Zhang Chong Yijing is 44 years old and started making movies at the age of 8, which is definitely an old drama bone. I used to mix in Shaw Brothers, Cathay Pacific and other companies, but now I am free, and I shoot between Hong Kong and Taiwan. Two years ago, he and his brother Zhang Sen established the Zhang Brothers Company, and they have the identity of a boss and a director.
The Cheung brothers traveled extensively, and many movie stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan came to attend today's wedding, including Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai.
The wedding was held at the Zhang family's villa in the Mid-Levels of Hong Kong, where countless celebrities and reporters gathered, and the grandeur of the scene was only comparable to the previous wedding of Xie Xian and Zhen Zhen.
"Shao Tycoon is here"
The reporters were stuck in a short distance outside the banquet hall, and Shaw's car rushed up before it could stop.
Zhang Chong and his wife Hu Jin were greeting guests inside, and it was his eldest brother, the famous director Zhang Sen, who greeted them at the door.
The car stopped, Run Run Shaw took Fang Yihua's hand and got off it, and the reporters' cameras clicked the shutter. Run Run Shaw smiled and beckoned to the reporters, and then walked inside with Fang Yihua's support, and Zhang Sen hurriedly came up to greet him.
"Shao Tycoon, Wang Zijun's new drama has been very popular recently, what do you think about it?" A reporter asked.
"The box office of a movie ultimately depends on its own quality, not how much publicity you can get a good box office. However, Wang Zijun is a good young director, his previous films are very good, and I wish his new drama can also be a big hit. Well, reporters, today is the big day for Mr. Zhang and Miss Hu to >, so don't ask about some irrelevant topics. After Run Run Shaw finished speaking, he ignored the reporter and walked straight inside with Fang Yihua.
Now Run Run Shaw is in a very good mood, and Golden Harvest, who he has always regarded as a strong opponent, is now in a similar situation to him, and the limelight is not as prosperous as before. Although the box office of the two in Hong Kong is not very good, there are also Southeast Asian and Taiwanese markets, especially the Southeast Asian market, which can bring him super high box office returns. ,
As for Xu Guanwen and Wu Siyuan, who are now the most popular in Hong Kong, Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai didn't take it very seriously. The movies of these two juniors are indeed very profitable, and Xu Guanwen's movie is even twice the box office of Shaw Brothers' highest-grossing film, but what does it matter? Xu Guanwen and Wu Siyuan have too shallow foundations, and they don't have their own sets and theaters, so they only have one or two films a year. In comparison, although the box office of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest is not very high, how many movies do they produce in a year? I don't know how many times the money I earned in addition to these two juniors.
The only one who worries is Wang Zijun.
This later Wong Film Company has developed and consolidated in Yijing, Taiwan, and Wong's Cinemas has slowly extended its tentacles in Hong Kong, with many films competing with Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai to seize the market every year.
In the eyes of Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai, Wang Zijun is their number one enemy. In order to prevent Wang's film from landing in Hong Kong, the two even stopped fighting for a time and joined forces to deal with Wang's film company's film.
After Run Run Shaw, the Shaw Brothers' new generation of 12 golden hairpins and several students also came over one after another, which often attracted the attention of reporters. In comparison, Zou Wenhuai's star lineup is much inferior.
When the reporter mentioned Wang Zijun in front of Zou Wenhuai, the gentleman's face was very unnatural. The biggest reason is because Wang Zijun poached his cash cow Xu Guanwen through Yongsheng Company. In history, Jiahe should have been very beautiful in the past two years because of Xu Guanwen's cooperation, but unfortunately Wang Zijun stepped in sideways and brought Xu Guanwen and Xiang Huaqiang brothers together.
Celebrities from all walks of life came one after another, and suddenly a reporter pointed to the distance and said: "Wow, whose car is that, it's so windy"
A reporter used the camera lens as a telescope and exclaimed: "I saw it, it was Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia, and there was a big Yanma sitting next to Lin Qingxia."
The car Wang Zijun is sitting in now is the latest Ferrari sports car he gave to Lin Qingxia. It's a pity that after being transported back to Taipei, Lin Qingxia only drove it once and was still in the warehouse, the biggest reason was that it was too eye-catching, and she drove the car out of the door, and the pedestrians paid attention to it everywhere she passed.
This time, Wang Zijun wanted to use Zhang Chong's wedding to help hype it, so he simply transported the car directly to Hong Kong.
The fiery red Ferrari arrived in an instant, and the roaring engine made the reporters' hearts beat rapidly, and their first reaction was to shoot the car, and even thought about the topic of the news, that is, Wang Zijun attended Zhang Chong's wedding with the beauty of the fragrant car.
Lin Qingxia and Laura in the car. Funa was dressed very festively, and the silk red dresses of the two vaguely carried a Chinese style, both of which were made by Hong Xiaoqiao. However, wearing the same clothes on her body, Lin Qingxia showed the grace and gentleness of an oriental woman, while Laura. Ferner is a kind of sensuality and nobility.
After the two women got out of the car, they grabbed Wang Zijun's wrists one left and one right, like twin stars with the moon, which made many male reporters envious.
This Yanma is so beautiful, is it Wang Zijun's lover? No, she seems to have a good relationship with Lin Qingxia, and this Wang Zijun's training methods are too clever.
"Mr. Wang, may I ask who is this exotic beauty next to you?"
"Mr. Wang, is this beautiful woman a new artist in your company?"
“……”
All kinds of questions came in, but the main ones were about Laura. Foner's identity.
Wang Zijun smiled: "This is Laura from Spain. Miss Forea >, who is now a contracted artist with Wong's Entertainment Agency and the heroine of "Food Truck." ”
The reporters were in an uproar, and they made trouble for a long time, it turned out that the heroine of "Fast Food Truck" was actually a Spaniard, and Wang Zijun really hid it from them.
Wang Zijun continued as he walked: "Laura is also the goddaughter of Mr. Zhang Chong in Spain, and this time she is here to attend Daddy's wedding. ”
Laura. Funa also practiced for a long time, and said in half-baked Chinese: "Mud howling"
The reporters were very excited by Wang Zijun's successive revelations, and Zhang Sen Yijing came up and said: "Thank you three for coming to attend my brother's wedding." ”
Wang Zijun said: "Mr. Zhang delayed the wedding for a few months because of the filming, I am very grateful, and I am also very sorry, I wish him and Miss Hu a hundred years of good and sweet >." ”
"Thank you." Zhang Sen said, "Please follow me." ”
Li Jinghao drove to the garage, and Zhang Sen arranged for someone to take Wang Zijun and them in.
Halfway through, Lin Qingxia pinched Wang Zijun's arm and said, "You have a lot of ghost ideas, and you have to seize the opportunity to publicize a wedding." ”,
"Wife> spare my life, I'm working so hard, isn't it to earn milk powder money for our future children?" Wang Zijun said with a bitter face.
When Lin Qingxia heard this, she immediately said happily: "Are you ready to have a child?" ”
Zijun didn't know how to answer.
"I don't care, I just want a child." Lin Qingxia said coquettishly.
Laura. Funa was very dazed, she could only speak Spanish, not even English, so she could only hold Wang Zijun's wrist and follow forward, nodding and smiling when she met someone to greet her.
Lin Qingxia stalked for a while, and Wang Zijun finally acquiesced. Lin Qingxia cheered, threw Wang Zijun aside, and pulled Laura. Foner's hand began to gesture.
Wang Zijun and the three of them entered the banquet hall and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
Zhang Chong and Hu Jin, the newlyweds, came over and joked to Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia: "The two talented women are good-looking, if only they could be the best man and bridesmaid." ”
Lin Qingxia said: "Mr. Zhang, you and Miss Hu> is a match made in heaven, Zijun's movie delayed the marriage of the two, and I have not been able to go." ”
"Where and where, it's none of Mr. Wang's business." Hu Jin hurriedly said.
In fact, Zhang Chong didn't have many scenes, and he stayed in Spain and Rome for a month before returning to Hong Kong. It's just that Hu Jin happened to be filming at this time, and he couldn't pull away, so he postponed his marriage until New Year's Day.
"Ah Jin, let me introduce you. This is the woman I met in Spain, Laura. Zhang Chong said.
"Oh, you're Laura, you're so handsome." Hu Jin took Laura's hand and said for a while, but the latter couldn't understand a word, so he could only laugh with her.
To be honest, Zhang Chong and Laura didn't have any personal friendship at all, but under Wang Zijun's matchmaking, they recognized the father and daughter, and then they had a lot of contact. Zhang Chong is very well-connected in the Hong Kong and Taiwan film circles, so he can be regarded as taking care of Laura.
"Miss Hu> you are very beautiful today." Wang Zijun couldn't help but look at Hu Jin as he spoke, this is the goddess in the hearts of many men at the moment, a first-class star
Later, Wen Jun, the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Awards, watched Hu Jin's "Double Glory in the Golden Bottle" and saw a long nosebleed, and between a smile and a smile, there was a kind of bewitching fox that made men's blood gush.
But this is all on the surface, in fact, all the explicit scenes of Hu Jin are all stand-ins, and they are much more serious than most actresses in later generations.
Hu Jin was very happy to hear Wang Zijun's praise, and said: "I can be regarded as beautiful, and Miss Lin > is the first beauty." ”
After a few people finished greetings, Hu Jin took Lin Qingxia and Laura to the circle of other actresses to talk. Wang Zijun followed Zhang Chong to chat with a man, and not long after, Zhang Chong apologized and ran to greet Huang Zhan, who had just come in.
"Oh, Director Li, why are you drinking here alone?" Wang Zijun suddenly saw Li Hanxiang drinking alone in the corner.
Today's bride Hu Jin was brought to Hong Kong from Taiwan by Li Hanxiang, Li Hanxiang is her mentor, and it is natural for Hu Jin to marry Li Hanxiang.
Seeing Wang Zijun, Li Hanxiang suddenly smiled and said, "I was a little tired of chatting over there just now, but it was quiet and quiet here." ”
Wang Zijun said: "Director Li, I watched your "Alluring the Country and the City", and it was really filmed in a harmonious way, and the history of Khan Qingye is coming at hand, a rare good film in Chinese films." ”
"Haha, it's not as good as Mr. Wang's "People and Ghosts Are Not Over". Li Hanxiang heard Wang Zijun mention his "Alluring Country and Alluring City", which was a little unpleasant. In the past few years, Li Hanxiang can be said to have lived a very aggrieved life, thinking that he was the uncrowned emperor of Taiwan's film industry a few years ago, but he did not manage well and had to send people to the fence. He wanted to make a decent large-scale historical drama, but Run Run Shaw asked him to make Fengyue films, and for several years in a row, these Fengyue films brought him economic income and made many defenders despise.
This "Alluring Country", which shows off the secret history of the palace, can also be regarded as a transaction between Li Hanxiang and Run Run Shaw, and it is Run Run Shaw's reward for Li Hanxiang helping him make Fengyue films.
Wang Zijun admires the talent of this director very much, not to mention anything else, Li Hanxiang, who has been reduced to making erotic films, can still use these erotic films as works of art when he is depressed, and he is definitely professional. At least, in Wang Zijun's eyes, compared with Li Hanxiang's Fengyue films, the "Three-D Meat Futon" in later generations is more than a few streets behind.
Li Hanxiang's erotic film doesn't show much, but that sullen man is burned by a man. ,
"What are the two great directors talking about?" Run Run Shaw and Fang Yihua walked over.
"Director Li and I are talking about Shao Daheng's movie is doing well." Wang Zijun stretched out his hand, "Hello Mr. Shao, hello Ms. Fang." ”
"How can you Wang earn a lot, the future life is terrible, the future life is terrible." Run Run Shaw said haha.
Run Run Shaw was laughing, and Zou Wenhuai also came to join in the fun, saying, "A few of you chatted very happily." ”
At this time, most of the guests arrived, and the reporters outside also ran in, and several giants of Chinese films gathered together, which attracted everyone's attention and looked at this side.
"Oops, it's rare to be so Qi today." Wang Zijun suddenly smiled and beckoned to the reporters, "Mr. reporter, come and take a group photo for us, remember to send it to me when you go back." ”
Wang Zijun enthusiastically pulled Run Run Shaw, Fang Yihua, Zou Wenhuai and Li Hanxiang together and stood side by side. Although Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai were very dissatisfied with Wang Zijun's position as chairman in the middle, they were not easy to attack in front of reporters, and could only laugh at countless cameras.
After the photo was taken, the reporters all gathered around and asked, "Are there any big things that a few movie tycoons have gathered together to discuss?" Is it possible to reveal it. ”
"Of course it's a big deal." Wang Zijun preemptively said, "Hollywood films are all shijie big hits, and our Chinese films can only be squeezed in Asia." Both Shao and Zou are working hard to promote Chinese-language films. We are talking about how to get Chinese films out of Asia. ”
When the reporter heard the news, he immediately became more interested and asked, "I don't know if there is any result on the topic of the three of them." ”
Wang Zijun said: "We are still researching, and we will tell you when we have the answer." You know, I, Wang Zijun, have always been very sincere and frank to the media. ”
Confess your
All the reporters collectively scolded that Wang Zijun asked ** to come out to fight a few months ago, but it fooled all the media enough. Then it was a propaganda movie, squeezing toothpaste to release the news, so that these reporters were tired and tired. Is this also called confession?
But I have to say that these reporters have a very good impression of Wang Zijun, because Wang Zijun often creates news topics for them, and they don't have to worry about having no food.
After the reporters dispersed, Zou Wenhuai asked, "What did Mr. Wang mean just now?" ”
Wang Zijun said with a smile: "Just say what is in my heart, doesn't Mr. Zou want to sell the film to Europe and the United States?" ”。
How don't you want to? Zou Wenhuai founded Pan Asia Film Company a year ago, which is responsible for selling Hong Kong films. However, this move has had little effect, and now Golden Harvest's films can only find audiences in Chinatown, and cannot enter the mainstream society of the West.
Wang Zijun smiled: "Mr. Zou, are you interested in cooperating?" Everyone integrates the resources in their hands and works together to promote Chinese films. If Tycoon Shao is interested, he can also join. ”
Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai glanced at each other, obviously excited. It's one thing to compete with each other in Asia, but if Zhende can promote Chinese-language films, it's good for everyone. Now that he can break into the mainstream of Western society, except for Bruce Lee, it is Wang Zijun, and Wang Zijun's fame in the West in the past year has even surpassed Bruce Lee. If Wang Zijun can cooperate, then it will be much easier to promote Chinese films.
