But Wang has even bigger crossover ambitions: He is preparing to adapt Hollywood classics into Chinese stage plays, although there is a lack of successful examples in China.
His company is also attracting more talent, he says.
For instance, Jiang Xiaohan, a once-famous child star who became an anchor for film programs on television, recently joined Wang's team. The 35-year-old says this will help her "realize her longtime dream".
Jiang has proved her flair for stage as the lead actress in Li Lei & Han Meimei.
Wang is planning to adapt Revolutionary Road (2008), a British-American film starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. The story, which was originally set in 1950s New England, will be changed to make contemporary China the focus.
"I get really excited when watching the film, because it reveals many typical issues that we see in Chinese families today," he says.
His company is also considering the possibility of remaking the film in Chinese.
