689 [hard to find]
Miyuki Nakajima is dressed in a modern outfit, but she is holding a folding fan in her hand and an oil-paper umbrella on her back. Before that, she appeared in a red kimono, and the prototype was the Shiranui dance referenced by Wang Zijun, and it was not until the final battle that she became a modern beauty with a sense of surname.
"Brush brush brush ......" Miyuki Nakajima waved her hand, and the folding fan in her hand spun and flew out and shot towards Chiba Shinichi.
However, as soon as the folding fan flew out of a distance, Wang Zijun immediately shouted: "Click! Do it all over again. ”
Now there are no movie special effects, and it is very difficult to shoot the gorgeous action scenes in Wang Zijun's mind, and everything has to be performed in a difficult way.
For example, Ang Lee's "Hidden Dragon and Crouching Tiger", if it was filmed in the 80s, even if he was given unlimited capital investment, he would not be able to shoot that effect.
The folding fan tied by a string, after hundreds of attempts, finally made an air trajectory that Wang Zijun was satisfied with, and then with sound effects, it could barely achieve the effect of computer special effects in later generations.
"Hah!" Miyuki Nakajima made a somersault ninja move, caught the folding fan that flew back, and slashed all the way to Chiba Shinichi's lower body, which can be described as extremely vicious.
"Yikes!" At the moment when Chiba Shinichi was hit by Miyuki Nakajima's oil-paper umbrella, Li Zhijiao, who had eliminated a martial arts club disciple in the back, let out a shout and launched a continuous attack from behind him.
"Poof!" Chiba Shinichi bit through the blood bag, and a mouthful of old blood spurted out.
"Father!" The last little dragon set Oyama Kikuko shouted, jumped up to beat Miyuki Nakajima back, and hurriedly helped Chiba Shinichi up.
"Click! Great! ”
"Prepare for the last action scene!"
Four hours later, with the "death" of Kurata Hoaki and the escape of Kikuko Oyama with the seriously injured Chiba Shinichi, "The Three Heroines of the East" was finally completed.
As for the scene where "Wang" appeared in the end, it had already been filmed in Taiwan.
Wang Zijun was in a good mood and waved his hand: "Evening banquet!" Please eat this dish, I personally treat, friends of the Jijin Kaikan, if you want to go, come along. ”
"I'm going, I'm going!" Oyama Kikuko's eyes lit up and said, it seems that this little Lori is also a foodie.
The crew members cheered loudly, and the students of the Jizhen Hall were also jubilant, many of them were actually not professional martial artists, and they had formal jobs, and now it is rare for a group of big stars to film, and now they can eat together, so they are naturally very happy.
The place to eat was recommended by the students of a guild hall, and there were a large number of people as soon as everyone went, adding up to more than 50 people. found that there were Wang Zijun and Miyuki Nakajima, and the owner of the restaurant was so happy that if Wang Zijun hadn't insisted on paying, the boss would have to give them a free order.
Although the three daughters of Lizhi, Yang Ziqiong and Iraqi Laudia were sore, they still didn't care about resting, and came out with the crew members to have a finale banquet. This is their first play, and the commemoration is of great significance, so it's okay to miss it.
The three daughters have been under great pressure during this time, and now they are finally relaxed, even Lizhi, who doesn't drink much, is drunk and hazy under the joy, and Iraqi Laudia and Yang Ziqiong, who are surnamed Ge Ge, are even more drunk and staggered, and they can't stand up straight.
Karate-chan Lori Oyama Kikuko doesn't touch the wine.,As soon as it's served, she stuffs all kinds of food into her mouth.,Finally, the belly is bulging and can't be stuffed anymore before regretfully stopping.。
"Mr. Wang, filming is so fun, I want to go to Taiwan with you to film." Kikuko Dashan, who was full and had nothing to do, ran to Wang Zijun's side and said expectantly.
Wang Zijun said: "It seems that you are only 14 years old, don't you go to school?" ”
"Isn't school fun?" Oyama Kikuko said.
Wang Zijun smiled: "I'm afraid it's not that school is not fun, but that practicing karate is not fun, right?" ”
"It's not fun." Kihisako Oyama, who was recognized by Wang Zijun, played with his fingers and said, "It's so boring to practice karate, I keep repeating the movements, and I am so bored that I can fall asleep when I practice." ”
Wang Zijun said: "I don't want your father to call the police and say that I kidnapped his daughter. Therefore, if you want to go to Taiwan to film, it is best to wait until you graduate. ”
"Stingy!" Kikuko Oyama scolded and stuffed something into her stomach again.
Miyuki Nakajima was amused by Kikuko Oyama's appearance, but when she thought of separating from Wang Zijun again, her mood was inevitably gloomy, and she didn't know when she would have to wait until the next meeting.
After the finale banquet, the undrunk members of the crew helped to help the drunk people leave, and Miyuki Nakajima stayed in Wang Zijun's car after getting into the car.
The two returned to the hotel room hand in hand, and Iraqi Laudia, who was a little unconscious, said to the two girlfriends, "You know what? I saw Guan Zhilin and Miyuki Nakajima go into the director's room together last week, and they didn't come out until the next day. ”
"Together?" Yang Ziqiong was surprised, "You mean they ...... No, Miss Nakajima looks very arrogant. ”
Iraqi Laudia said: "What am I lying to you about? ”
Yang Ziqiong said: "It's so messy, but this is someone else's private matter." ”
Lizhi was in a bad mood listening to it, and cursed in her heart that the two women were vixens. She was just an ordinary fan of Wang Zijun at first, and it wasn't until the beauty pageant finals that her feelings for Wang Zijun suddenly changed.
At that time, there were only a few people in the newspaper who praised Li Zhi's beauty and surname, and most of the media were full of ridicule, and the content of the ridicule was naturally that she was a mainland girl who couldn't even speak Cantonese well, and she shamelessly came to participate in the beauty contest. Especially when she defeated Ye Yuqing and became the champion of the Hong Kong division, there were so many people who scolded her that they were all over the street.
But Wang Zijun's sentence of "Limei" changed everything, and the media began to change their tone according to Wang Zijun's evaluation, and more and more newspapers and magazines praised him for his wit and beauty, and it can be said that her current fame is due to Wang Zijun.
Li Zhiben hid this emotion of gratitude and worship in her heart, after all, Wang Zijun already has many women, and she doesn't want to share her husband with other women. But Wang Zijun's actions on the gambling boat aroused the emotions in her heart, and even when the two imitated the scene of "Titanic" on the bow of the boat, Lizhi was thinking that if Wang Zijun pursued her at that time, she would agree to be his "qingren".
It's a pity that Wang Zijun doesn't seem to be interested in this, and although he spoke to her very kindly, he didn't have the intimacy of that day, which made Li Zhi stunned.
"Vixen!" Thinking of Miyuki Nakajima and Guan Zhilin, Lizhi scolded in her heart again. She felt that if it weren't for the two women who attracted Wang Zijun's attention later, Wang Zijun would definitely pursue her.
The drunk people slept late the next day and got up, and the tickets that their crew bought collectively were in the afternoon, so they didn't need to worry about getting up early.
A vote of people rushed back to Taiwan in a hurry, but they were blocked by reporters as soon as they got off the plane.
"Zijun, what do you think of Prime Minister Yuben's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine?"
"Mr. Wang, you used force at the White House because you said that you insulted China, what are you going to do this time?"
"Director Wang, after Prime Minister Nakasone visited the Yasukuni Shrine, why didn't you protest in Yueben?"
“……”
Wang Zijun, who was ready to play Tai Chi casually to fool the reporter, was blindsided as soon as he heard the reporter's question, and said loudly: "Wait, wait, what are you talking about the Yasukuni Shrine, why don't I know anything at all?" ”
A reporter replied: "Three days ago, Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone visited the Yasukuni Shrine, and he was the first prime minister to openly pay respects at the Yasukuni Shrine in his official capacity after the war. Don't you know any of this? ”
"Is there such a thing?" Wang Zijun was stunned for a moment and explained, "After we went to Tokyo, we kept running back and forth between the hotel and the filming location, and we didn't even have time to read the newspaper. And it seems that there is not much public opinion about this matter in my country, so I only know about it until now. ”
After Wang Zijun explained, the reporters still didn't want to let him go, and asked: "Then what do you think about this matter?" ”
Wang Zijun thought for a while, and said with a serious expression: "Rationally speaking, Yasuhiro Nakasone is using this behavior to seek the support of the right-wing forces in this country, so that he can continue to be re-elected in the future." Emotionally speaking, I believe that his actions have seriously hurt the feelings of the people of the countries in Asia that have been invaded by the Japanese people, and at the same time it is an insult to the ordinary people who died in the war. The Yasukuni Shrine enshrines war criminals, and the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki who died in the atomic bombs were, in the final analysis, because of these war criminals, and Prime Minister Nakasone was ashamed of the votes in the hands of his voters and the trust placed in him by the people of Nakasone. As a purely Chinese, I strongly protest against this, and if Prime Minister Nakasone does not apologize to the people of Asia for this matter, I will not accept any official invitation or cooperation during his term of office. Well, that's all I have to say, I hope you don't misinterpret it, and it's best to publish it in full and truthfully. ”
After speaking, Wang Zijun left under the escort of his bodyguards, and someone behind him cheered.
When he returned home, Wang Zijun realized how big the incident was, not only was it scolded by many people in Taiwan, but even newspapers in South Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines and other places were all opposed.
Even Chinese mainland, which advocates friendship between China and China, abandons past grievances, and creates a future together, is dissatisfied with Yasuhiro Nakasone's move, and cancels many recent official exchange activities between the two sides.
From a certain point of view, Yasuhiro Nakasone's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine is also a revival of the right-wing forces after the war, and they have finally begun to show their hideous features.
Regarding this kind of thing, Wang Zijun and a small ordinary person really have nothing to do except scold a few words to condemn it. As for why "The Three Heroines of the East" will not be released in this book, it is not called patriotism, it is called brain-dead, how cool it is to have the opportunity to make my own money, if you don't make money, you won't earn it for nothing!
After making that remark at the airport, Wang Zijun no longer accepted interviews with reporters on this matter, but began to concentrate on the later stage of "Three Heroes of the East".
is different from the previous plagiarized movies, although this time "The Three Heroines of the East" refers to the American drama "Charlie's Angel" and the Hong Kong film "The Three Heroes of the East" in terms of planning, but both the plot and the costumes and props are completely different, and the script is 100% original, so it is much more complicated to sit up in the later stage.
At least in terms of editing, the previous plagiarism was cut so smoothly, if it weren't for Wang Zijun's changes in many places, there would be no need to use the knife.
And this time? Just like other directors, there are many superfluous footage in it, and Wang Zijun has to decide very carefully which ones to keep and which ones to cut.
There are also sound effects, soundtracks, and other aspects of work, all of which have to be carried out honestly, instead of relying on plagiarism as before, Wang Zijun relies on plagiarism to take care of a lot of work.
This time, the later stage is even more difficult to do than the previous original "Love in Paradise", after all, "Love in Paradise" still has a large number of literary and artistic love plots, and this time "The Three Women of the East" is a complete commercial blockbuster.
convened the best sound team in Taiwan, and Wang Zijun handed over the soundtrack to Zhou Lanping, Zuo Hongyuan and others again, and also invited a professional symphony orchestra.
It was not until the results of the semi-finals of the 2nd Miss Asia beauty pageant were announced that Wang Zijun's new film "Three Heroines of the East" was finally released.
Speaking of this year's beauty pageant, there have been some new changes in the Hong Kong division, originally there was only one competitor in Sister Hong Kong, but today there is an Asian TV beauty pageant.
ATV's beauty pageant is called the Miss Asia Contest in parallel space, referred to as the Sister Asia Contest, which is essentially the Hong Kong division of Miss Asia-Pacific. However, the name Miss Asia has been occupied by Jiatv, and Asia TV is very aggrieved to name their event the Asian Beauty Pageant.
This name immediately aroused the dissatisfaction of the Miss Asia headquarters founded by Wang Zijun, and directly sent a letter to complain to ATV, saying that their name was infringing.
As a result, ATV's beauty pageant has not yet started to be well known to the Hong Kong people, but the bad reputation is more serious. Hong Kong citizens don't know that Wang Zijun robbed ATV's things, most of them think that Asia TV thinks that Jiayi TV made the beauty pageant very popular last year, and they also want to get a piece of the pie this year, and they shamelessly even copy their names, which is simply shameless to the extreme.
Just when the beauties in each region of Miss Asia began to sit and prepare for the finals, Wang Zijun's "Three Heroines of the East" was finally released at the same time in the Miss Asia beauty pageant after more than a month of publicity.
This is also a pre-established publicity strategy that kills two birds with one stone, because the filming of "Three Heroines of the East" itself is Wang Zijun's fulfillment of the promise he made when he founded the beauty pageant, and the three heroines in the film, two of which were the top three in the finals of the last beauty pageant.
"The Three Heroines of the East" chose to be released in the finals of the 2nd Miss Asia beauty pageant, which is to promote the beauty pageant, increase the ratings of TV stations in each constituency, and in turn use the ongoing beauty pageant to promote the film.
Last year, the director and judge from the Philippines, Bucarlo, invited Wang Zijun to participate in this year's Philippine Film Festival, but unfortunately it was when Wang Zijun went to the United States to be an Oscar guest and did not return, so he had to give up.
Wang Zijun gave Bucaro some more copies this time when the supply of copies was tight, so that he could earn enough face from the Philippine film company, which can be regarded as compensation for Wang Zijun's regret of breaking his promise.
The film's release and premiere in various regions were held on the same day, and the film's original staff were also busy in various places. For example, Kurata Hoaki, Chiba Shinichi and Miyuki Nakajima were in charge of attending the premiere in the area. And Yang Ziqiong, Miss Malaysia, naturally went to Malaysia to be the protagonist, Iraqi Laudia returned to her home country of the Philippines, Li Zhi and Kwan Zhilin are in charge of Hong Kong, and Wang Zijun and Ke Shouliang, Ke Junxiong and others are in charge of Taiwan.
There are also Macau, South Korea, Singapore and other regions, which send other people in the crew, as well as some local stars, to suppress the formation.
Anyway, this time "The Three Heroines of the East" created an unprecedented atmosphere in Asia, and ten Asian countries premiered at the same time on the same day, which is the first time in film history.
From these alone, professionals can see the clues.
Singapore's "United Evening News" pointed out: "Director Wang Zijun obviously attaches great importance to his new film this time, and the release of "Three Heroines of the East", Director Wang has given unprecedented attention and done enough work in all aspects. Now the streets and alleys of Singapore are full of promotional posters for "The Three Heroines of the East", and Singapore's two major cinema chains, Shaw Brothers and Cathay Pacific, are promoting this movie at the same time, and they almost put up posters in public toilets. Even people who don't watch movies passively learn that there is a Chinese film called "The Three Heroines of the East". ”
Hong Kong's "Ming Pao Weekly" said: "With Wang Zijun's box office success again and again, his ambitions are getting bigger and bigger, and his goals are getting higher and higher. This time, the release of ten Asian countries at the same time is undoubtedly the recognition of him by the entire Asian market, and if he is replaced by other directors, even Tsui Hark, who is known as Wang Zijun's second, will not be able to do so, and those overseas filmmakers will not even watch the movie, so they promise to release the director's movie at some time. ”
Taiwan's "Next Magazine" praised: "The grand occasion, the unique grand occasion in the Chinese film industry!" Fans from all over the world are looking forward to director Wang Zijun's new film. There is still a day before the release time, but it is said that loyal fans in some places have begun to wait outside the theater to prepare to queue up to buy tickets, and they are afraid that it will be difficult to buy tickets by then. The premieres of various countries are eight hours earlier than the public screening, and now a ticket for the premiere has been sold at a high price of 2,000 Taiwan dollars, which is more than ten times higher than the original price. ”
What is a blockbuster?
If you say it is vulgar, it is to burn money.
Wang Zijun filmed "The Three Heroines of the East" this time, from filming to publicity, the total budget added up to "ET" was several times that of "ET", and the money spent made those Taiwanese colleagues tremble.
But in exchange, it was an unprecedented hot scene.
When the movie was released that day, some people went to line up to buy tickets, and found that by the time they lined up to buy tickets, the day's performances had already ended. Those who can successfully watch the movie, except for those who queued up early in the morning or even yesterday, the rest are entered by scalper tickets.
