579 [Cute Grass Mud Horse]
When Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia arrived in the United States, it was the last moment of the 53rd Oscar selection.
But this has nothing to do with Wang Zijun, he filmed "Love in Paradise" last year. And the film premiered in Asia, and the main producer is a Taiwanese company, so it is not eligible to compete for the Oscar at all.
As for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it's even more hopeless. Because the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is the Oscar reading unit, and the requirement is that "a country recommends a movie", the United States has broken off diplomatic relations with the so-called "Republic of China", and the "Republic of China" is no longer regarded as a country, but has become Taiwan.
Of course, regions are also eligible to select films, but the most important thing is that Taiwan is not among the invitations of the American Academy of Motion Pictures at all, so "Love in Paradise" is unlikely to compete for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
James. Cameron's "Terminator" due to the improvement of the script and excellent production, coupled with the full distribution of Dragon Tiger Films, the box office is far more powerful than parallel space, and the global box office last year was more than 70 million US dollars, at this time the European region is still in theaters, but it is about to be drawn. The Asian region is about to enter the publicity stage, but in the end, it is obviously impossible for the global box office to break 100 million.
After "The Terminator" came out, film critics applauded, but some criticized the film as too depressing. In the midst of the applause, "The Terminator" did not even have an Oscar nomination.
Bruce Lee's transformational film "Hero High Roller" last year also failed to meet the set goal, and although it sold like crazy in Asia, it did not do well at the box office in Europe and the United States. The box office in the United States is less than $30 million, which is not as good as Bruce Lee's last movie. As for the reason, it's very simple - Westerners watch Bruce Lee's kung fu, and Bruce Lee added a lot of gunfight elements and explosion scenes to the film in order to change.
In Wang Zijun's view, Bruce Lee was trapped by kung fu movies.
In this regard, Wang Zijun has no way, everything has to rely on Bruce Lee himself.
took Lin Qingxia to live directly in the Tulip Manor, and as soon as Lin Qingxia came in, she sighed: "It's so big here!" ”
The sour smell in that tone Wang Zijun could smell it from ten meters away, it was nothing more than because Wang Zijun bought a manor at a sky-high price to give it to Audrey. Hepburn.
Wang Zijun didn't coax her, only held Lin Qingxia's hand tightly, got out of the car and walked to the garden. Passing through the tulip garden, there is a huge swimming pool and a manicured lawn, and a path in the middle of the lawn leads to the house.
During the Chinese New Year, in order to appease Lin Qingxia's parents, Wang Zijun swore for a while, and finally transferred 4% of the shares of Wang's Cinema to Lin Qingxia's name, which was used to show that he would not abandon Lin Qingxia and leave Lin Qingxia's mother and daughter behind.
These shares are astronomical in value.
Initially, Zheng Zhenkun exchanged shares with Wang Zijun's film company with Haishan Records, and Zheng Zhenkun held 20% of Wang's Cinema. However, Wang's Cinema has not made much money over the years, and Wang Zijun's private has continued to inject capital into it, expanding the cinema all year round, and Zheng Zhenkun's stake in the cinema has been diluted to only 5%.
Someone helped briefly assess that the value of Wang's Cinema, which has been expanding continuously for nearly 10 years, is at least more than NT$10 billion in combination with the current prosperous Hong Kong and Taiwan film market.
This statement is obviously exaggerated, and Wang Zijun has invested less than NT$4 billion from beginning to end. However, it is an indisputable fact that Wang's Cinema has become the best filming location for ancient costumes and Republic of China films in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Now in the entire Wang Studios, Wang Zijun holds 55% of the equity, Lin Qingxia holds 40% of the equity, and the remaining 5% belongs to Zheng Zhenkun. And Zhang Enxiu also returned to South Korea with her husband Li Jinghao a few years ago, and it is estimated that she took over the management of some companies, and handed over the position of general manager of Wang's Cinema to Lin Qingxia.
Teresa Teng also wants to come out and do things, but it is probably impossible to continue singing. Wang Zijun's peach news has too much impact on her, some time ago, Haishan Records did an investigation, and many people couldn't stand the fact that she became Wang Zijun's "aunt's wife". If Teresa Teng goes to Hong Kong and Taiwan to do a singing show now, it is estimated that someone will throw her shoes and drive her off the stage.
Wang Zijun shouldn't be comforted, Teresa Teng has little interest in other work except singing. After thinking about it, I can only spend money to let Teresa Teng go to study like in parallel space. If things go well, Teresa Teng will come to the United States after a while to be an auditor at the University of Southern California.
As for Lin Fengjiao, she is very satisfied with being the hostess of the Wang family's back house, and Lin Fengjiao is also paying the family's expenses and the management of the servants, including the salaries of those bodyguards. Of course, these salaries are not paid to the bodyguard himself, but to the company behind him.
Zhao Yazhi is busy taking care of her children, and occasionally asks friends out to go shopping and eat, she likes children, but she spends more time with a group of children at home.
Audrey. The day after Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia left for the United States, Hepburn also left for Hong Kong to go to the mainland.
The headquarters of the China Hope Foundation is in Hong Kong, which is a formal society in Hong Kong. The decision to extend the scope of services to the mainland had been taken the year before, but for various reasons it had not been implemented. Years ago, the community finally became with the mainland. The communication between the east side is good, and it is ready to set up a branch in Guangdong first, and the scope of services of the foundation is also temporarily set at a wide range. Within the first province in the east, hope schools were first built in some backward towns and villages.
When Wang Zijun walked to the living room with Lin Qingxia, a white man in his sixties walked over, bowed, and said, "Sir, you are finally back, do you need any arrangements?" ”
This gray-haired, gentlemanly old man was none other than the butler of Tulip Manor, named Henry. Hillborne. It's Audrey. Hepburn was invited from Belgium, last time Audrey. Hepburn's birthday party is also in his care.
"Old Henry, this is Brigitte (Bridget). Lin, too, is the hostess here. Wang Zijun took Lin Qingxia's hand and said.
"Yes." Old Henry bowed slightly to Lin Qingxia, but when he bowed his head, his face showed dissatisfaction. He's Audrey. Hepburn invited, and Wang Zijun suddenly brought a hostess back, which made the loyal old Henry angry.
Old Henry recruited a servant, carried Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia's luggage upstairs, and began to introduce Wang Zijun to the recent situation of the manor.
"Sir, that Miss Madonna, with all due respect, she is not fit to live in this place." Said Henry Sr.
"Madonna, you say?" Wang Zijun almost forgot about this chick and asked, "What's wrong with her?" ”
Old Henry said: "Miss Madonna often comes back late, and drives drunk in your car, and once drove into the golf course of the estate, and made a mess inside. And she was going to take her friends to the manor for a party, but I stopped her, and she scolded me. ”
Wang Zijun laughed when he heard this: "Hehe, it's worthy of Madonna." It seems that she has met a lot of new friends in Los Angeles for most of the past six months. ”
"Who is Madonna? Is it a girl? Lin Qingxia asked vigilantly.
"A girl with a lot of potential, don't worry, I'm not interested in her." Wang Zijun said.
"Devils believe it." Lin Qingxia muttered quietly.
"By the way, old Henry, did I buy you the alpaca you bought?" Wang Zijun asked.
"I bought it, and I hired an alpaca breeder and shearing worker." Old Henry was speechless, this man was so outrageous that he didn't raise horses in a good horse farm, so he actually asked him to buy alpacas. Those alpacas can't be lazy and stupid, they can only be used to shear camel hair, could it be that this place is going to be turned into a feedlot?
"Really, that's great." Wang Zijun wanted to raise a few grass and mud horses as pets in his last life, so he took Lin Qingxia's hand and said, "Wife, take you to see a very cute animal." ”
Without waiting for Lin Qingxia to agree, Wang Zijun took her hand and dragged her out, sat in the sightseeing battery car in the manor for a while, and finally came to the "horse farm".
I saw more than a dozen male and high-spirited grass and mud horses walking elegantly, and when they heard the sound here, several of them turned their heads curiously to look at Wang Zijun and Lin Qingxia, and their expressions were big "embarrassment".
"Zijun, what kind of animal is this? Their faces are so strange. After Lin Qingxia saw the alpaca, her first feeling was cute, and then she couldn't help but want to laugh.
Wang Zijun jumped off the battery car and introduced: "This is a kind of horse. ”
"Liar, what you just told the butler was a camel or something. When I don't know English. Lin Qingxia ignored him as she spoke, opened the wooden fence and walked towards the alpacas, and asked the breeder, "Sir, these guys don't attack people, do they?" ”
"No, these llamas are very docile." The keeper asked, "Miss, are you going to ride it?" I can add a saddle and reins to you. ”
"No need." Lin Qingxia said as she picked up some forage and leaned towards one of the little alpacas, which was less than one meter tall, and spread out the forage in her hand.
The little alpaca shook its head playfully, and then ran over, sticking out its tongue and emptying the hay in Lin Qingxia's hand.
Lin Qingxia reached out to touch the fur on the back of the little alpaca's neck, the little thing seemed to be very comfortable, and she shook her head and hummed while eating the forage.
Wang Zijun walked over, sat on the ground, and asked, "How is it, it's cute, right?" ”
"What the hell is this?" Lin Qingxia asked.
Wang Zijun said: "The scientific name is llama, also called alpaca, but it has a cuter Chinese name. ”
"What Chinese name?" Lin Qingxia asked.
Wang Zijun said: "Its Chinese name is grass mud horse. ”
"Grass mud ......" Lin Qingxia suddenly came to her senses, beat Wang Zijun's shoulder and scolded with a smile, "It's really obscene!" ”
"I'm serious, I don't lie to you." Wang Zijun is a serious way.
Lin Qingxia said: "I don't believe it. ”
"Then do you think his face looks like a Chinese character?" Wang Zijun said.
"What kanji?" Lin Qingxia asked.
Wang Zijun wrote a few strokes on the grass with his fingers and said, "Oh, that's the word 'embarrassment'." ”
"This is a Chinese character? Okay, what a strange word......" Lin Qingxia laughed when she looked at the word "embarrassment", and the more she laughed, the louder she became.
