Bill Belew has raised 2 bi-cultural kids, now 34 and 30. And he and his wife are now parenting a 3rd, Mia, who is 8.

Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei created the Huayi Brothers Media Group in 1994 after Wang Zhongjun came back from the US with a university diploma and $100,000 he made as a part-time cartoonist and photographer.

Wang Zhongjun articulates his ambitions – “…right now, I want to make my company the largest entertainment group in China. Then maybe we can become number one in Asia and even the world.”

Huayi Brothers have a new hit on their hands “The Banquet” a 20-million dollar spectacular starring Zhang Ziyi. If she’s in it…it’ll be good, well, at least popular.

In 2004, four Huayi films accounted for 35% of total sales in the Chinese film industry. Holy Cow!

It seems these Chinese Warner Bros are on their way. That being said, Wang will soon be able to add to his Toyota Camry, Benz E300, 560 SEL, S600, SL600, BMW Z8, Z3, X5, 740 …and 60 horse collection.
