At the beginning of July, just as the finals were about to be held in each constituency of Sister Asia, Frank, general manager of Hollywood Dragon Tiger Film Company, announced that the global box office of "Titanic" had exceeded $1 billion.

Up to now, "Titanic" has been released in the United States for more than 200 days, and what makes countless American colleagues gnash their teeth is that this movie not only refuses to be painted, but also maintains a box office of tens of millions of dollars every week.

In this case, if you only rely on the analysis of today's American film market data, it is completely illogical, and it can only show that there are countless boring guys who have repeatedly walked into the cinema and watched "Titanic" N times.

Not only the United States, but the whole world, except for Chinese mainland, the Soviet Union and other countries that cannot be released, "Titanic" has almost swept the film industry of all countries. In countries like South Korea and the Philippines, the political axe film management department even had to issue an administrative order to force the suspension of "Titanic" to protect the box office market of local films.

In another time and space, "Titanic" grossed $1.8 billion worldwide, which is enough to prove the magic of this movie. At that time, there were only 300 genuine copies in Chinese mainland, and many fans in second- and third-tier cities were hard to find.

Due to the lack of copies, a certain regular film company on the mainland even privately produced pirated copies, and these pirated copies were grandly screened in various cinemas on the mainland, and the box office did not give the Yankees a penny. If these pirated versions are counted, the actual box office in Chinese mainland is at least more than 500 million yuan, and the global box office of "Titanic" may exceed 2 billion US dollars.

Moreover, this is still the data that the relevant departments of Chinese mainland saw that the film was too hot, and the administrative order was suspended. If it is released openly, and all of them are genuine, it is estimated that the actual box office of "Titanic" in the mainland will reach 700 million yuan.

Without Chinese mainland, the constituent countries of the Soviet Union, and inflation, Wang Zijun's version of "Titanic" actually began to slow down after the box office reached $900 million.

To Wang Zijun's surprise, the box office in the regions of Yueben, South Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore, because of the economic prosperity at this time, received no less box office than when it was screened more than ten years later in the parallel space.

When the news of the global box office of "Titanic" exceeded $1 billion was announced, people once again focused their attention on Wang Zijun.

The Washington Post said: "Wang compiled a classic on-screen love story, and at the same time created a box office miracle. ”

The Christian Monitor said: "The box office of 'Titanic' tells us what kind of movies people want to see: love, freedom, devotion and sincerity." ”

Britain's "The Sun" said: "The most old-fashioned love story, the most money-burning shots, make one of the highest-grossing movies in history." ”

The "Chao Yu News" published an article: "The film is being revived, but the directors of the book should look more at the outside world, just like Wang Zijun, and learn to apply new filmmaking methods." ”

Taiwan's "Central Daily" posted: "The masterpiece "Titanic" by the master director of the Republic of China Wang Zijun exceeded $1 billion at the box office yesterday, realizing Mr. Wang Zijun's prediction of the box office before filming, and at the same time creating a miracle in the history of world cinema. Director Wang Zijun grew up under the cultivation of the party-state......"

The Hollywood Reporter, an authoritative newspaper in the American film industry, also spoke highly of it: "George Lucas's "Star Wars" opened the era of big special effects in film history, while King Zachary's "Titanic" used movie special effects to the extreme. It can be predicted that in the future of film production, film special effects will play an increasingly important role. ”

Of course, when people pay attention to the box office of "Titanic", they have not forgotten the reporter who made a bet with Wang Zijun at the beginning.

The bet at the time was that if Mr. Wang's next film grossed $1 billion, the reporter would run around the airport ten times.

"Hi sir, please take off your clothes!" 》

It was the headline of a gossip newspaper that gave a picture of the journalist who was surrounded and fled in panic.

Not only newspapers, but also the host of a TV talk show made fun of the reporter and asked with an evil smile: "It is reported that a hotel in Los Angeles recently launched a special service, which only needs to pay five dollars, and the beautiful woman will come to your door to undress you." Mr. Godwin, I think this service is a good fit for you. ”

Journalist Godwin, who has now become the target of ridicule, apologized to Wang Zijun in his column: "Please forgive me for questioning you at the beginning, Zachary, you are a great director who can work miracles...... I was tempted to fulfill the gamble, but the LAPD warned me not to act in a way that disturbed public order. I'm so sorry, and if possible, I hope to apologize to you in person for the next time you come to the United States......"

Godwin wanted to repay the debt, not only to repay the debt, but also to use this excuse to meet Wang Zijun alone, so as to get the opportunity for a one-on-one interview.

At the same time, Mr. Reporter's shamelessness is also known to the public because of this article, and there is a popular phrase: "Don't be too Godwin", which is used to describe those who do not believe in their words.

……………………

Wang's Pictures' Plum Garden, one of the 10 beauties from Taiwan's constituency who won the Miss Asia beauty pageant, is training in dance in a training room in the [***] building.

The right to host the Taiwan constituency was originally obtained by China Television, but due to some infrastructure problems, from the semi-finals, the training and program recording of the beauties were placed in Meiyuan.

“1、2、3、4…… 2、2、3、4…… Kick ...... Okay, let's take a break! ”

The dance training teacher gave the order, and the 10 students sat down on the floor at once.

No. 6 player Bai Wei leaned towards Kang Rongrong and asked, "Rongrong, I heard that Wang Zijun is coming today." Is it true? ”

Kang Rongrong said: "How do I know, why don't you ask Zuxian." ”

Wang Junxian smiled: "How would I know, but the team leader said that he would come, most likely true." ”

Yang Lijing teased: "Weiwei has always been obsessed with Mr. Wang, don't waste the opportunity this time." Maybe we'll call you Mrs. Wang, our boss. ”

As soon as this joke started, everyone began to coax, and Bai Wei was so ashamed that her face was red, and she buried her head in her chest and said, "Ignore you!" ”

Since the beauty contest has set up a "Miss Friendship Award", all the beauties need to vote for each other by secret ballot, and the beauties with the most votes will win the award. So whether it's sincere or not, at least on the surface, everyone is very sincere and kind, so everyone usually jokes like sisters.

The reason why Bai Wei was coaxed by everyone was because she was an avid fan of Wang Zijun, and she came to Taipei from Taichung to compete, and she still carried a lot of Wang Zijun's posters, photos and tapes in her suitcase. Ever since a suitcase was overturned and exposed, she has become the object of the sisters' jokes.

"Papai ......" rested for a while, and the dance training slapped everyone to get up and practice again.

And Bai Wei, who was teased by everyone just now, was also a little absent-minded in training at this time, and glanced at the door of the training room from time to time. She likes Wang Zijun to the extent that she can already be classified as a brain-dead fan, when she was rumored to be a peachy scandal, many people around her scolded her, and she dared to stand up and defend Wang Zijun. She was not angry and sad about Wang Zijun's peachy scandal at all, but envied Zhao Yazhi and Teresa Teng's daughters, and she couldn't wait to be Wang Zijun's wife.

It's not just Bai Wei who is absent-minded, most of the girls don't have the heart to practice. It's not that they are obsessed with Wang Zijun, but that Wang Zijun's identity and influence are there, and a sentence can determine whether their future star journey will be smooth, and they are all thinking about how to leave a good impression in front of Wang Zijun later.

Of course, there are also scheming beauties who are engrossed in practicing dance at this time, hoping that Wang Zijun can see it quietly in "unintentionally".

Wang Zijun was really watching outside, watching for a while and waiting for them to finish practicing before coming in. This is his company building, you can come at any time, and you don't have to respond to it, only one bodyguard is behind you.

......The dance training teacher clapped his hands and told everyone to stop, and the fierce face in front of the trainer instantly became extremely kind, smiling and clapping his hands and saying, "Welcome to the chairman in his busy schedule and come to care about everyone's training progress." ”

"Hello chairman!" As if they had been trained, the ten beauties shouted in unison. It's really right for them to call the chairman, after entering the finals, unless there is a big problem with these 10 people, they will all sign into Wang's Pictures. Of course, Huashi, as the undertaker, will naturally sign them, but Huashi signed a film and television contract, while Wang's Pictures signed a brokerage contract.

Ten beautiful women in dance training clothes stood there, their protrusions and backs were extremely eye-catching, and now they all applauded Wang Zijun in unison. Last time, they were taken to a press conference, and they hurried back and forth, and they didn't have much contact with Wang Zijun.

At this meeting, I feel that Wang Zijun's figure is much more majestic - a big director with a single movie box office of 1 billion US dollars!

"Okay, everyone, feel free, don't be so formal, I'm just here to see you today." Wang Zijun said, took the initiative to shake hands with the dance training teacher, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Teacher Peng." ”

"It's not hard, it's not hard." This teacher Peng is quite excited, it is rare to be so close to the chairman.

After a few more polite words, Wang Zijun said to her: "You go to the lounge to rest for a while, and I'll talk to them." ”

Teacher Peng was not disgusted at all by Wang Zijun's obvious rush to drive people, and left the training room with a nodding and a bow.

After Mr. Peng and Wang Zijun's bodyguards left, Wang Zijun smiled and said, "Okay, the old witch in your mouth is gone, let's talk freely." ”

"Hahaha......" The ten girls laughed and stuck out their tongues, they didn't expect that the nickname they gave to the teacher could reach Wang Zijun.
