The new players

When Wang Zhongjun was a part-time pizza delivery boy in the United States, he prided himself on being the fastest and the best. Twenty years later, he is a major movie mogul and his determination to shine has not waned one bit.

The 49-year-old and younger brother Wang Zhonglei started Huayi Brothers, a Beijing-based media corporation, in 1994.

They will take their next step on the road to success by becoming the first film company listed on a mainland stock exchange.
