780 [The richest man in the world]

There are many speculations about "Holy War" in the outside world, but director Wang Zijun is more low-key.

He only made one appearance at the Jihad press conference the other day, answering some of the necessary questions from journalists. And "Holy War" premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, Wang Zijun didn't even hold the premiere, and directly arranged to be screened in beach cinemas.

In other words, compared to ten years ago, red carpet shows seem to be flooding various events.

Ten years ago, only some of the biggest stars and directors who participated in the award were eligible to walk the red carpet in Cannes. And today's Cannes Film Festival, any press conference red carpet show, premiere red carpet show, and even makeup brands can organize actresses to walk the red carpet. As long as there is an event, a red carpet will inevitably be rolled out, and those stars who have not participated in the film will also wear gorgeous dresses to walk around one by one.

For example, 20 years later, a mainland actress went to Cannes with her boyfriend to see each other for a long time, and only three hours before the red carpet show started that she knew that she could also walk the red carpet. The actress was overjoyed, and hurriedly ran to borrow a dress to change into, stepped on the red carpet in a beautiful manner, and kept smiling and waving at the reporter. The exposure really increased, but it was ushered in countless ridicule, and the news headlines were all "XX walked the red carpet and was driven away by Cannes security guards three times"!

Film festivals in various countries are like this, they are getting bigger and bigger, and they are getting more and more commercial.

In the past few days, Wang Zijun has not walked through a show, and with his current identity and fame, he really doesn't have to mix with those stars. But that's too arrogant, isn't it? It is not only the little stars who walk the red carpet, but also many big names in the industry.

Until the premiere of "Holy War", Wang Zijun, the director, did not appear, and there were more speculations outside. Some people say that Wang Zijun suffered from depression when he made war-themed movies, and his spirit was often out of control, so he reduced his appearance in public because he was afraid of getting sick in public.

Someone broke the news again, saying that at the premiere of "Holy War", Wang Zijun was at the police station, as if he was involved in a brawl and wounding incident.

This news was confirmed by the Cannes police, so Wang Zijun's claim of mental disorder is more marketable. It's not a light illness, it seems that it's not just depression, or mania and other mental illnesses.

"Nonsense, I just had dinner with Zachary yesterday and he looks normal."

"Is Zachary sick? No, he was as strong as a cow, and his mind was calm. ”

“……”

Bertrand? Briet, David? Lynch, Mira? Nair, Nicholas? Cage, Kishibe Ichiro and other directors and actors, in an interview with reporters, came out to deny this rumor.

It is unclear whether Wang Zijun has mental illness, but Lin Yi's identity has been exposed.

At this time, there was no Internet, and European and American journalists were somewhat unaware of this.

During the film festival, Wang Zijun made a few rare appearances in public, and he inevitably took Lin Yi with him.

At first, European and American reporters thought that Lin Yi was an actor or a staff member, but it was not until they got the news from their fellow reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan that they knew that Lin Yi was actually Wang Zijun's eldest son.

Removing all the identities of Wang Zijun as a star, director, etc., only his net worth assets, Lin Yi, as Wang Zijun's eldest son, is enough for the media to write a special book.

Last year's richest man in the world was still Yoshiaki Tsumi, who has been the richest man in the world for three consecutive years, and his personal assets reached $20 billion at the peak.

However, in March of this year, Forbes magazine suddenly made a report, saying that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's personal assets are currently $15.8 billion.

The two technology companies under Wang Zijun came out of the stock market crash, and due to the release of the system, the stock price of Paradise Technology Company soared. In addition, Wang Zijun bought various stocks after the stock market crash, injected capital into Qualcomm when the economy was in a downturn, and the ghost knows when he held a large amount of Motorola's original shares in his hand, and as a result, the value of these stocks skyrocketed after Motorola went public.

There are also Wang Zijun's factories in Chinese mainland and Taiwan, the number has reached more than 70, and Paradise Games (Nintendo) alone last year had a turnover of $2.4 billion, a profit of $100 million, and a market value of $8.4 billion.

In last year's Forbes World Rich List, Wang Zijun was still below Di Yiming, and in just a few months, Forbes announced the latest situation. Wang Zijun's worth skyrocketed to $20.1 billion, surpassing the $3.6 billion worth of Yoshiming Di, who was in second place.

According to Forbes magazine, Wang Zijun's personal assets are likely to be on par with Di Yiming the year before last, but his hidden investments have not been fully exposed.

The magazine compared Wang Zijun and Di Yiming in detail, saying that Di Yiming made a fortune by land, and bought nearly one-sixth of the land in 20 years, and his family property reached more than 165 billion US dollars, and its business involved railways, transportation, department stores, real estate, catering, schools, research institutes and other fields, but mainly real estate, catering, and transportation.

As for Wang Zijun, although it is also an investment in many fields, the main one is the science and technology and cultural entertainment industries.

Di Yiming has achieved the ultimate in real estate and transportation, while Wang Zijun's investment in the technology industry is in the ascendant and has an infinitely bright future.

In addition to comparing industries, Forbes also compares the surnames of the two very gossipily. compared with each other, and finally summed up the common characteristic of the two - lustful.

Wang Zijun's romantic account is not counted, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is far more ridiculous than Wang Zijun in this regard, like Yasuko Sawaguchi, Yoko Minamino, Yoshiko Mita, Aki Mizusawa, Misaki Ito, Riko Sato, etc., who have an unclear relationship with Yoshiaki Tsumi, can pull out a long list, and even the national treasure-level actress Sayuri Yoshinaga and the queen of the music scene Matsuda Seiko have a leg with Tsumi. Of course, these actresses won't admit it, but the real estate given by Tsumi Yiming in their names can't be faked.

More intimate "Forbes" naturally didn't know, like the matter of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi forcibly pushing down a teenage figure skating girl, and the person concerned didn't dare to say it until more than 20 years later. No matter how lustful Wang Zijun is, at least he hasn't done anything that threatens and lures after being forced.

In any case, Wang Zijun is now the richest man in the world, leaving off the second richest man in the rich list with $3.6 billion. As Wang Zijun's eldest son, Lin Yi, although legally speaking, is only an illegitimate child, but judging from the situation that Wang Zijun brought him to Cannes, he must like this son very much.

In this way, Lin Yi is the heir to the richest man in the world, why don't reporters keep an eye on it?

Soon, Lin Yi was dug up a lot of information from childhood to adulthood, including chasing a 19-year-old female singer at the age of 14 last year, and just having a fight in Cannes because of a young girl, and finally Wang Zijun had to run out of money to get people in person.

So the media came to a unanimous conclusion that the eldest son that Wang Zijun likes quite a lot is a playboy with a smart head.

The coverage of Lin Yi lasted until a month or two after the end of the Cannes Film Festival, and then the French girl Cotillard, who made Lin Yi jealous, also appeared in the newspapers, which shocked many young men and became the darlings of many media and advertisers.

Just when various reports about Wang Zijun and his son were just emerging, the Cannes Film Festival awards ceremony had already been held.

During the film festival, Wang Zijun can not leave other red carpets, but the red carpet of the award ceremony is a must, otherwise it will be too bad for the organizers.

Wang Zijun, Lin Qingxia, Lin Yi's family appeared together, Lin Qingxia wore a white gauze floor-length dress, her hair was raised high, in the adjective of a French magazine, she was "a beautiful and proud swan from the East". As for Lin Yi, this kid doesn't have any hair on his mouth, but he just wants to pretend to be a young man, although he is a little pretended, but combined with his family background and handsome appearance, it still makes countless women who see the report want to get into trouble.

Wang Zijun held Lin Qingxia with one hand, and Lin Yi stood on the other side of him. Lin Qingxia behaved elegantly, smiled movingly, and took good care of Lin Yi between words and actions, if she didn't know, she really thought that the two were biological mother and son.

"Zachary, it's rumored that you're suffering from severe depression as a result of filming, is this news familiar?" The reporters surrounded the trio.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "When I first finished making the movie, my emotions were really affected. But now that I've come out, do you think I'm depressed now? ”

"Then why didn't you have a premiere in Cannes after you've been making a film for two years?" The reporter asked.

Wang Zijun said with a smile: "The movie premiere is just to strengthen the publicity effect, but you see that I don't do the premiere, but more media pay attention to this matter, and my purpose has been achieved." Isn't there a saying in your journalism? Dogs bite people are not news, people bite dogs are news. When I hold the premiere, it's a dog bites a man, and if I don't hold it, it's a man bites a dog. ”

"There's a lot of offensive gore in your 'Jihad', and now many people in the industry are worried about the box office prospects of this non-film. Do you think you can make a profit back on an investment of nearly $100 million? The reporter asked.

Wang Zijun smiled: "Who knows? Let the market and fans answer this question. ”

"Then are you going to retire?"

Wang Zijun smiled and didn't speak.

And Lin Qingxia and Lin Yi next to them were also besieged by reporters at the same time. Lin Qingxia is naturally able to cope with it, which is completely expected by reporters, after all, she is the vice president of a large film company.

But Lin Yi's reaction was much more than they expected, Lin Yi seemed to be deliberately showing off, facing reporters from all over the world, not only using several languages to deal with it freely, but also all kinds of allusions and slang came out of his mouth.

Eloquent, humorous, knowledgeable, and linguistically gifted, this is the reporter's latest impression of Lin Yi.
