537 [Original Release]
The third day of > Guanghui's farewell concert was the day of the premiere of "Love in Paradise" in Taipei.
Just two days ago, Wang Zijun was dragged to Haishan Records and recorded "Love When You Die". Our black-bellied Mr. Zheng Zhenkun is now eager to squeeze out every trace of usable value on Wang Zijun's body.
The song "Love When You Die" will be broadcast on major TV stations and radio stations, and then poured into a single to make money to make up for the loss of the concert that Wang Zijun agreed to last year but finally canceled because of the movie.
Ticket bouncing is shameful, and Wang Zijun, who habitually bounces tickets, can only be described as shameless.
(Lao Wang: It's not me, absolutely not, Lao Wang never bounces tickets.) οΌ
In addition to reviewing the band's 10 years of establishment and the various journeys of the band in the past nine years, Wang Zijun and Teresa Teng's performance at the farewell concert has also become a highlight.
The song "Love When You Die" sung by Wang Zijun was praised by "Rolling Stone" magazine as the strongest voice in Chinese rock, and it was touted to the fullest. No way, when investing in the establishment of Rolling Stone Records, "Rolling Stone" magazine has become a publication under Wang Zijun.
However, this kind of hype is only on paper, and no matter how fanciful it is, readers can't really understand the shock of the song until they actually hear it.
However, Teresa Teng's shock was more direct, a set of tight leather clothes and a non-mainstream hairstyle, once published in the magazine, quickly shocked the audience's attention.
Then many magazines used Teresa Teng's photo as the cover, so that Teresa Teng's new image was known to everyone.
on this. The reaction from all walks of life is also different, but young people are happy to accept it, and feel that this dress is very individual. and the older ones began to criticize Teresa Teng for learning badly. Teresa Teng, a good girl who sings old love songs, how can she dress up like a Fei girl?
Even Teresa Teng's fan group is divided into several factions, and they have met non-stop quarrels in private.
Teresa Teng refused all media interviews, she happened to be free during the holidays in the past two days, and Wang Zijun was so good that she mixed honey with sugar, and she was doing a vigorous man-making campaign all day long, hoping to cook raw rice as soon as possible.
The day of the premiere of "Love in Paradise". Teresa Teng finally ended her vacation and went to Southeast Asia for a concert, Wang Zijun only admired her dedication.
"Love in Paradise" is on stage. b. The whole island premiered at the same time. The premiere rights are owned by 50 large cinemas owned by the Wong Cinema Line, but the premiere is held at the Golden Lion Cinema in Ximending, which has the best film screening equipment on the island.
Since "Love in Paradise" is co-produced by Wang and Hollywood companies, and the director is Chinese, the lines and dialogues are also matched with Chinese dialogue. So after it finally passed the review, the Information Bureau defined it as a national film - although the male protagonist in it is Chinese.
The general managers of the three TV stations of Taiwan Television, China Television and China Television were all invited. The chairman of the party-run film company was also a guest at the premiere, and the bosses of Huang Hanzhuo, Qiong Yao, Li Xing, and other film companies were also invited.
There is also a desk. b. Many directors, stars, film critics, writers, journalists. They all came to cheer.
The director of the Information Bureau, Song Chuyu, was the first-class guest, and the head of the film team under the Information Bureau also followed.
More than 200 of these guests came in droves. Excluding the original crew and the company's personnel, less than 300 of the 600-seat screening theater are reserved for lucky fans.
In the eyes of outsiders. This is another film of Wang's Pictures impacting Hollywood, and it is the one with the largest investment. The total investment of more than 10 million US dollars is more expensive than "Food Truck" in previous years. β¦,
If Wang Zijun succeeds this time, I believe that several powerful companies will also try to cooperate with Hollywood to make big investments, instead of making small fights as always.
Wang Zijun walked into the screening hall and saw many big-name guests in front of him, and he was very proud. This is his first original film, and it is far more rewarding than the previous ones.
Laura. Fanna and Demi. Moore walked on Wang Zijun's left and right, Wang Zijun walked in with one hand in one hand, then raised their hands and bowed downward, and sat down amid applause.
Demi. Moore was nervous, not because of stage fright. Since participating in the filming of "Love in Paradise" and becoming a "Jun Girl", her exposure has increased greatly, and she has been invited by media in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, or directly invited her to do programs, and many advertisers have also come to her door, which has increased her income cost instantly.
Oh my!
Demi. Moore only felt that happiness came too suddenly, and the movie hadn't been released yet, just because she made a movie with Wang Zijun, and her income in the past two months has exceeded the sum of more than ten years ago. Even the gambling debts owed by the stepfather at home are fully enough to pay off, and the wonderful reality makes Demi. Several times, Moore was too excited in the middle of the night to sleep.
Demi. The reason why Moore is nervous now is that he is afraid that the effect will not be as good as expected after the movie is released, or that the movie will be popular, but she, the second female lead, will not be popular. Then all the flowers and applause you get now will be like clouds of smoke drifting away, like a spring dream without a trace.
Laura. Fona didn't have Demi. Moore has so much thought, she has been popular since she and Cheng Long followed Wang Zijun to shoot "Fast Food Truck". In the United States and Europe, she is famous, in her home country Spain, she is the dream lover of many teenagers, and in Asia, she is firmly on the throne of foreign actors.
Actor John. Travolta, Grigory. Parker and Shang Gwenton did not come to open a martial arts school in Japan. Siegel rushed to Taipei for the premiere.
Steven. Siegel gets no more benefits than Demi. After knowing that he followed Wang Zijun to make a kung fu blockbuster, Steven's enrollment in kung fu schools in Japan suddenly increased slightly this year. I believe that after the film is released in Japan, his martial arts school is estimated to be crowded.
After some interaction, the fans at the premiere couldn't wait, and the film finally began to be screened.
The lights in the screening room dimmed, and first the Tiger of Wang's Film Company descended the mountain to the beginning. Then the logo of Dragon Tiger Film Company came out. On the screen, the words co-produced by Wang's Film Company and D&T appeared, followed by the huge Chinese and English subtitles of "Wang Zijun's works".
The film begins with the death of the leader of a family in the Italian mafia, and the chief's daughter Anita undoubtedly overhears a conversation between her fiancΓ© Gamuel and his accomplices. It turned out that the leader was actually killed by Camuel, because he found that his subordinate Camuel had embezzled a large amount of public money to invest in finance. And the losses are terrible.
Gamuel not only killed the boss first, but also prepared to marry the boss's daughter, and the talent was fully collected.
Laura. Anita, the heroine played by Fanna, ran away overnight and decided to run to a place where there was no mafia power to hide. She chose Asia, but was spotted when she bought a plane ticket.
The beginning was decent, and these shots were all made by Hou Xiaoxian when he went to Europe to direct the reshoot, when Wang Zijun was working on the soundtrack with the old man from Iraq in the Maldives.
Hou Xiaoxian's style is suitable for making literary films, this is a very commercial film. Shengsheng was photographed by him with some literary taste. Fortunately, Wang Zijun did some tricks and feet when cutting the film, otherwise he would have to be out of touch with the style behind.
"Good!" When Wang Zijun shot on the plane and neatly killed a few mafia thugs, a burst of applause immediately erupted in the seats of the fans behind. β¦,
God pity you. These loyal fans of Wang Zijun have not seen Wang Zijun's movies starring in person for several years since "The Love of People and Ghosts".
When Wang Zijun first appeared, they could still hold back their excitement, but when Wang Zijun made a move, these people finally couldn't help but cheer.
That's the legendary appeal. The same scene, the same shot, the same acting skills, replaced by someone else, the audience is definitely not as excited as when they watched the film just now.
What follows is a very light-hearted plot, Wang Zijun and Laura. Fanna's love scene. Coupled with the unique and beautiful scenery of the Maldives, it makes the station that already likes to watch literary romance movies. Bay fans are hooked.
Until Demi. Moore's role as the Islamic girl Afarf appears. Dance to exotic music, including the more than 200 guests. They have all been impressed by the endless beautiful scenery of the Maldives in the film.
Those who have financial strength have already made up their minds when to go there for a vacation. Today's Taiwan. Although it is also troublesome for people from Bay Province to travel to the island, the conditions are much more relaxed than in the previous two years.
After that, the fierce fight scenes began, one after another, and between each **, there were some love and warm shots as excessive, and the audience couldn't take their eyes off it.
Especially Wang Zijun used to act in very decent literary dramas, where have fans seen this kind of witty play played by Wang Zijun? It's like a diner who is ready to eat a big meal, and when he moves his chopsticks, he realizes that it is a full banquet of Manchu and Han.
Whether it is an emotional scene or a fight scene, it brings together the collective wisdom of the crew members, and every shot and action is meticulously crafted. The final effect of filming has been greatly changed from the script taken out by Wang Zijun. For example, in the drama of the Islamic girl, Hou Xiaoxian felt that it was too thin, and it would seem that the scene where she died for the protagonist in the end was very abrupt, so he added some Demi. The rivalry between Moore and Wang Zijun makes the image of this Islamic girl more plump.
And the beautiful scenery of the Maldives, due to Wang Zijun's special thoughts, the sea, land and air, and even the bottom of the sea are displayed in front of the audience in all directions.
It's a plane, it's a speedboat, and at the end there's a hilarious undersea fight scene, which may be common in later generations, but the audience is feasting their eyes now.
At least, since the birth of kung fu movies, pure diving fight scenes have appeared for the first time.
In particular, the villain Camuel shot at Wang Zijun with **** at the bottom of the sea, and the bullet drew visible traces on the bottom of the sea, and when he was finally caught by Wang Zijun, the audience was amazed and laughed.
But soon they can't laugh anymore, and the Islamic girl Afarf is shot for the male protagonist and falls into the hero's arms. When she fell, the sea breeze blew her veil away, and this was the first time the audience saw the true face of the girl, like a glimpse, it seemed so pure and beautiful.
Even those who have seen Demi before. The audience of Moore's other plays was amazed by the beauty of her moment of collapse.
When the male protagonist killed the villain and lowered his head to kiss the bloody red lips of the Islamic girl, there were already some emotional female viewers who were about to cry. The Islamic girl closed her eyes permanently in her lover's kiss, and finally a female audience member whispered out.
At the end of the film. The daughter of the mafia gave up everything and came to the Maldives to live in seclusion with the male protagonist and kiss each other in the sunset. The so-called Islamic folk song that didn't exist reverberated in the screening room, and the film finally ended.
When the last subtitles fade out. There was a round of applause in the screening room. For those film company owners and directors, this movie brings them no less shock than the Hollywood blockbuster "Star Wars" and Wang Zijun's "Two Heroes".
After watching this movie, they realized that literary romance films can not only be made into song halls, restaurants, dance halls and cinemas, which are small production modes of three halls and one theater, nor can they only be used on location in Europe and the United States like "Roman Holiday". Literary romance films can be completely combined with action scenes, and they can be made into blockbusters. β¦,
And what about action drama directors? I also know that I can not only learn from Bruce Lee, but also learn from Wang Zijun's "Two Heroes". Anywhere. Anything can be used to incorporate an action scene, at least, there are no less than five or six action directors present. I'm thinking about whether the next movie can have some underwater scenes.
Although underwater cameras are expensive, it is always possible to rent them from Wong Pictures to shoot.
"It's great, it's really great." Song Chuyu held Wang Zijun's hand and said with a smile, "Director Wang." This "Love in Paradise" is no worse than any blockbuster I've seen in the United States. And even much better than them in some aspects, what does this mean? It shows that our Chinese-language films do not belong to Hollywood at all, and you have set a good example for Chinese-language films. β
Listening to Song Chuyu's official appreciation, Wang Zijun also said modestly: "Where can you be a role model." There are a lot of good directors in our Chinese-language films, and I'm just taking half a step ahead of them. β
"It's very rare to take an extra half step. If you are afraid, you will not dare to take a step, so you can only stand still. Still. Song Chuyu changed his words, "Can the next movie have more Chinese faces, our Chinese movies, we can't find a few Chinese, that's not good." β
"That is, the next time I plan to shoot foreigners as a foil, it will be all Chinese." Wang Zijun said with a smile.
"That's good." After Song Chuyu finished talking to Wang Zijun, he went to talk to Laura. Fanna and Demi. When Moore and the two foreign actresses shook hands, they naturally expressed their concern for them and thanked them for their contributions to Chinese films.
The day after the premiere, "Love in Paradise" began throughout the station. b. Released across the board.
And the fans who watched the premiere also spontaneously did free publicity for "Love in Paradise".
But in fact, there is no need for them to promote it, Wang Zijun's self-directed and self-starred love action movie (there seems to be something strange here), the gimmick of the starring work after many years is enough to attract countless people into the theater.
Film critics did not hesitate to praise them, and Qiong Yao, a writer, personally picked up the pen to write a film review for the movie, which was published in the current issue of "Crown" magazine: "I haven't seen Zijun's own drama for several years, and this "Heavenly Love" has brought many surprises. The witty and humorous fight scenes are hilarious, but what I like more is the love scenes.
The actor in the movie, Zachley. The love between the king and Anita and Afarf is a happy ending, and the other is a death for the man he loves.
Anita's life is undoubtedly beautiful, she has no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, although her father was killed, but she has gained love because of it. And Afarf, an Islamic girl, is much more miserable. She only dared to love but did not dare to love, and the veil on her face was blown away by the wind until she died, and a lover's kiss could only be obtained at the last moment of her life. And she was happy, she died in her lover's arms, and she smiled in her lover's kiss......
What fascinated me the most was the beauty of the Maldives, where the movie was filmed. If you don't see it with your own eyes, it's hard to believe that there is such a beautiful place in the world, just as Anita said in the film, the Maldives is God's paradise on earth.
No wonder Wang Zijun forgot to come back last year because he traveled there, so much so that he was mistaken for being kidnapped. If it were me, I might never leave there again for the rest of my life. It is a place suitable for love, lovers holding hands on the soft sand, blowing the gentle sea breeze, bathing in the sunset like holy light......"
Qiong Yao's film is extremely literary and artistic, and it is basically a piece of prose at the end. But it can't stand the huge circulation of "The Crown", and its readership has gathered a large number of Qiong Yao fans. As soon as Qiong Yao's article was published, countless Qiong Yao fans paid money to line up to enter the theater, and then staged. The man of the bay suffered...... Qiong Yao fans already like romance, many women after watching the movie, crying, making trouble and hanging themselves to travel to the Maldives, if the men refuse, it is to prove that they don't love her at all!
The film review of "Impact" magazine is much more professional, and after analyzing the various lens techniques and plots of the movie at the beginning, it directly sees through Wang Zijun's mind and characterizes it as a commercial blockbuster for tourism promotion.
However, the film review gave high praise to many highlights and innovations in the film, and finally said: "This film is a Sino-American cooperation film, although most of the posterior personnel are Chinese, but if you look closely, many subtle aspects of the film are influenced by Hollywood." For example, makeup styling, special effects shooting, etc., I think Wang Zijun can completely let Wang's Pictures produce independently, and the reason why he chose to cooperate with Dragon Tiger Company is probably also to strengthen the cooperation between Wang's Pictures behind-the-scenes personnel and Hollywood counterparts. I believe that after this film, the talent strength of Wang's Pictures will be stronger......"
