"Ghost Love" has been in theaters for more than half a month, with a box office of $8.9 million in the first week; And "Murder on the Orient Express" was quickly surpassed two or three days after pressing "Ghost Love", and the box office in the first week was only a pitiful $5.6 million.

In the 1974 North American box office list, the current number one is "Sharpshooter Kid" (also known as "Burning Saddle"), which was released at the beginning of the year. This alternative western, which can still make people laugh until their stomachs ache decades later, is now grossing more than $119 million.

In second place is Bruce Lee's "Game of Death", which currently grosses more than $117 million.

In third place was "Burning Skyscraper," which grossed more than $116 million. (Sorry, there was a chapter earlier where I reversed the box office success of "Burning Skyscrapers" and "Chinatown.") It is impossible to say that "Chinatown" exceeded 10 million in the first week, and its total box office was only 20 or 30 million. ）

Judging from the current reputation and momentum of "The Love of People and Ghosts", it is still very promising to break through the 100 million box office mark. And "Murder on the Orient Express", a popular movie in the UK, may be a little uncomfortable after coming to the United States. Although the overall evaluation is good, there is no significant increase in the single-week box office in the second week of release, and it is likely that it will not exceed the more than 40 million box office of "The Godfather 2" in the end.

Paramount Pictures, the North American distributor of "Murder on the Orient Express," is obviously depressed. This year, they are unlucky, two years ago, "The Godfather" box office exceeded 100 million, rave reviews, can be described as fame and fortune; So they carefully produced "The Godfather 2" in a vain attempt to continue the myth, but the result was only 40 million box office, and the evaluation was not as good as before; Although "Chinatown" continued to be applauded, it was a pity that it was not popular, and the box office ended hastily when it was less than 30 million.

Now, "Murder on the Orient Express", which was imported from the UK with a huge amount of money, had a good response, but halfway through the killing, "Ghost Love" stole the limelight, and Paramount's top management can be imagined.

Hollywood has Hollywood rules, so naturally it will not mess up to hire people to smash each other's theaters like Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, but it is completely okay to secretly add fuel to the fire.

For those white racists who protest, Paramount doesn't mind giving them a small amount of money to help them out, just leave themselves alone.

In the face of continuous sit-in demonstrations at the entrance of the theater, the first person who couldn't sit still was not Wang Zijun, but the bosses of those theaters. Under the popularity of "People and Ghosts", isn't these idiots sit-ins robbing them of their money?

There was no need for Wang Zijun to ask for help, and the owners of these theaters quickly exerted their strength, calling the police in the name of obstructing normal business activities, and spending money to start a pen war in the media.

The power of these theater owners was quickly revealed, and the New York Times published a commentator's article in the second week of the release of "The Ghost Is Not Settled": "Eleven years ago, Martin. Luther. Kim's husband gave a speech "I Have a Dream" in front of the Lincoln Memorial. He said he dreamed of a day when all of God's children, black and white, Jewish and non-Jewish, Jesuit and Catholic, would be able to join hands and sing that old black spiritual song: 'Finally free, finally free, thanks to God Almighty, we are finally free' Ten years ago, Martin Luther King Jr. was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Six years ago, Martin Luther King Jr.'s husband was shamelessly assassinated.

To this day, it is a pity that his dream has not been realized. In Hollywood movies, blacks and Chinese have frequently appeared as thieves, prisoners, and liars, but there is only one different movie, which is unacceptable to the 'honorable' white husbands.

Is there racism in "The Ghost Is Not Over"? There is no basis for the director of this film, Zachary. Wang said that Sam, the film's original male lead, was actually set to be a white man. But he found many Hollywood actors, even our bodybuilder Schwarzenegger, who is not good at emotional dramas, but no one wants to play a ghost. And none of the extras who came to audition met the director's requirements, and Zachary's husband was forced to direct and act himself...... Or perhaps, if Zachary had invited Brando to play this role, there would have been no criticism. In the end, it's nothing more than the idea of a noble white race."

In addition to movie theater owners, there is another organization that supports "The Ghost Is Not Over", and that is the Catholic Church in the United States.

Catholic doctrine holds that the world is full of sin, and that in the future Christ will come down from heaven to judge the living and the dead on earth, and that the good will enter heaven and receive eternal life, and the wicked will be thrown into hell to suffer eternal sin. And it just so happens that the plot in "The Love of People and Ghosts" about good people entering heaven and bad people going to hell is very consistent with its teachings. ,

Cardinal Maxey of the Catholic Diocese of Los Angeles even publicly stated in the Los Angeles Times: "There is no doubt that "The Love of Ghosts and Ghosts" is a religious film, it has a completely correct religious view, the good go to heaven, and the evil go to hell, this is God's revelation to us...... Before God, whether yellow, black, or white skin, they are God's people and should be brothers to each other...... Heard about Zachary. The king doesn't have any faith yet, and I'm really a terrible thing. I hope that he will join the Catholic Church as soon as possible and bask in the glory of God. If possible, I would like to baptize him myself. ”

Wang Zijun held the newspaper and looked at the cardinal's words, and his face twitched. He was affected by the crossing incident and was not an atheist, but after being injured in his previous life, he read too many online novels, and he really had a bad impression of Catholicism.

Lin Fengjiao, who saw the report, was overjoyed, she stroked the little life in her belly and said, "Zijun, why don't we ask this bishop to help our child baptize." ”

"We'll talk about it then." Wang Zijun knew in his heart that it would not be so easy to persuade the bishop to baptize an illegitimate child.

"Ghost Love" has been close to half a month, and the total box office has been close to 20 million, and now it is Christmas again, and the peak of movie-watching is coming, presumably the box office sales will surge.

With the hot sale of the film, Audrey , who has been silent for many years. Hepburn became hot again, and several film companies quickly extended olive branches and invited Audrey to make a movie, and the highest salary shouted $1.8 million. In addition, Quinton, who plays the villain Carl, and Aida, who plays the black psychic Oldmei, have also changed from unknown origins to suddenly become new stars in Hollywood, and film appointments are coming.

As a screenwriter, director and starring in the film, Wang Zijun is worth a hundred times more at once and has become the darling of countless media. The criticism about him has never stopped, but there are more people who like him, and no one dares to question his ability and talent now.

With the film's hit, its theme song "Unrestrained Melody" quickly climbed to the top of the singles chart. Today, among the top ten singles announced by "Billboard", Wang Zijun's three singles are all among them - NO.1 "Unrestrained Melody" and NO.2 Hotel California.

At the same time, the soundtrack record of "Ghost Love" has also been produced and will be released soon.

Today, Wang Zijun is like a mysterious aura - a bad Chinese boy, an outstanding director, an excellent actor, a talented singer, oh, I heard that he is also one of the bosses of D*T Film Company (Dragon and Tiger Film Company).

"The Godfather" director Frances. Coppola commented in an interview: "Zachary? I've seen his films, and he's a very talented director. ”

The reporter found Steven, a young director who is also in his twenties and is well-known and is preparing to shoot "Jaws". Spielberg. Spielberg said: "'Ghost Love' is very creative, the special effects in it are amazing, it's a masterpiece...... What the? You asked me about Zachary. What does the king see. Very good, I heard that he has made several films in Asia. Oh, I wasn't in the industry at that age...... Racism? I hate racism. You know, I'm a Jew. ”

During this time, Wang Zijun and Audrey. Hepburn took turns to be the cover characters of major magazines, or directly put the photos of the two together to make the cover.

Around Christmas, "Ghost Love" swept theaters across the United States, and in the 50 days since its release, the box office has reached 100 million and 3 million. The major media shouted horror, and Wang Zijun's previous rhetoric of defeating "The Godfather 2" and "Murder on the Orient Express" was turned out again.

Not to mention "The Godfather 2", "Murder on the Orient Express" has not yet reached 30 million at the box office, and it is about to be drawn. "Ghost Love" not only surpasses them, but also leaves them far behind.

was unashamed at the beginning, but now it is commented by the media as a sign of self-confidence.

In 1990, the North American box office was more than 200 million, and the global box office exceeded 600 million US dollars.

The film is more than ten years ahead of schedule, and although the special effects are not so sophisticated, they are already considered superb in this era, and I don't know if it can surpass the original.

At this time, Wang Zijun received an invitation to HBO Los Angeles TV.

In the past month, Wang Zijun has received many invitations from magazines or TV stations, except for the beginning to help promote the movie, most of the others have been pushed.

But now this can't be pushed off, this TV station actually didn't invite him and Audrey. Hepburn was on the show together, but invited him to be with Bruce Lee. And Bruce Lee has already agreed, how can he Wang Zijun excuse himself.
