Chapter 1227: A real Liu Lang is like this!
"Shaolin Football" The acting skills of the actors in this movie are not as good as in their previous lives, fortunately, the script of the movie is very exciting, and with the advantage of special effects, Hong Kong Island people have never seen such a wonderful movie, and the box office of five million Hong Kong dollars was set in one week after its release, and five million Hong Kong dollars is less than one million US dollars, this box office will hit the street directly in the United States, but it is big news on Hong Kong Island, and the previous record was also created by Zhou Xingxing, it is the gambling saint of 90, the box office of this movie in the first week is 3 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total box office is 50 million, and the box office of Shaolin football in the first week is close to twice that of the gambling saint, which will definitely break the total box office of 50 million, and may even exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars。
100 million Hong Kong dollars is only a local box office, because of Liu Lang's participation, this film has begun to be introduced to the mainland, once it is released in the mainland, the box office is not easy to say, it may be no problem to break through 200 million.
The movie Shengtang Company did not pay for it, but Liu Lang drew a large number of sub-shots, and at the same time sent Industrial Light and Magic out to do the post-production for it, the tour guide of the movie is the fat man Hu Jing, this guy is a well-known director on Hong Kong Island, especially very proficient in nonsensical plots, and he is also the director who excavated Zhou Xingxing, and the two have no problem cooperating.
The total investment in the film is 10 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 7 million is funded by Mr. Shao, and the other 3 million is Hua Han, Hua Han's participation is Liu Lang's request, this guy always wants to have a relationship with Liu Lang, Liu Lang will give him a chance, if Liu Lang didn't say in the middle that Mr. Shao would ignore him.
The box office of this movie broke the record in the first week, and Mr. Shao immediately called Liu Lang and thanked him a thousand times, in the eyes of Mr. Shao, the money was actually given to him by Liu Lang.
It's very simple, Shengtang company has the ability to shoot itself, the cost of 10 million Hong Kong dollars can be regarded as a big investment in Hong Kong Island, but in the eyes of Shengtang, it is a fart! More than 1 million US dollars is just change, now it is good, it can be earned back in a month, and breaking through 100 million is just around the corner.
Of course, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to Liu Lang and Shengtang, more than 10 million US dollars, but it is already a lot for the Shaw Brothers Group, the Huo family is now the richest man on Hong Kong Island, and the public announcement is only one billion US dollars, half of which is Hong Kong investment banking, and the other half is real estate investment, and ninety percent of the Li family, who should become the richest man, is in real estate, and he only has 700 million US dollars.
Although the Shaw Brothers industry also has some real estate investment, most of it is still in the media industry, so his wealth is not much, it is a little more than 300 million US dollars, and a movie can earn more than 10 million US dollars, which is not counting the mainland box office, and it will not be too little, less than one million US dollars of investment, in exchange for a return of more than 10 million US dollars, the rate of return is likely to reach ten times, can Mr. Shao not be happy?
This once again proves the axiom that Shengtang must produce high-quality products, of course, Liu Lang's movie is to let Mr. Shao and Hua Han make money, Industrial Light & Magic helps, the special effects of the whole movie are very simple, at least for Industrial Light & Magic, there is nothing complicated for Industrial Light & Magic, and the final fee is not high, which can be regarded as a friendship price.
Mr. Shao wanted to invite Liu Lang to Hong Kong Island as a guest, but at that time, Bai Weiren wanted to come to Fucheng, Liu Lang naturally could not go to Hong Kong Island, and Mr. Shao said that he wanted to come to Fucheng in person, but was stopped by Liu Lang, who was in his eighties, don't go around.
In short, Mr. Shao felt that he owed Liu Lang a great favor this time, which might not be anything to Liu Lang, but the old man felt that he had to thank him well, as for how to thank him? This is really no good way, Liu Lang has more money than him.
As for what Liu Lang likes, I really didn't see it, Liu Lang stayed in China when she was fine, no one knew what she was doing, and only the Huo family on Hong Kong Island knew what Liu Lang did, for example, the "Exploration No. 1" Huo Tianting published in the newspaper recently knew that Liu Lang did it.
He has been to the North Industries Group, the first time he went to find that the factory is more modern than the factories on Hong Kong Island, at that time he was frightened, he and Liu Lang for so many years did not know that Liu Lang had such a factory in Fucheng, Liu Lang also did it himself, the level was higher than anyone else, then he understood that Liu Lang was a hidden true "identity" It is no wonder that he has to stay in China for nearly ten months a year, completely ignoring other investments, daring to love that his main business is machinery, entertainment companies and banking industry are purely "hobby" hobbies.
Of course, Huo Tianting knows how important industry is to a country, far from being comparable to entertainment and banks, and it is Liu Lang's mind that is focused on industry, so the country will attach so much importance to him, if he just has a lot of money, then his status in the country is similar to their Huo family, although Huo Lao will be received by high-level people every time he comes to the mainland, but it is only a courtesy reception, of course, it is also very respectful, but this respect is similar to that of guests, the Huo family should also be careful in doing things in China, and will not offend really powerful people, a minister-level person will make them cautious。
But Liu Lang is different, what minister is cautious when he sees him, Huo Tianting felt a little strange before, thinking that Liu Lang has a higher-level figure behind him, and he doesn't say anything when he asks others, but now he finally knows the reason, that is, Liu Lang has strategic significance to the country, and it is this meaning that makes him so "different".
Especially now that the domestic media have reported a lot of North Industries Group, Wang Zhendong has become a hero, and the name Liu Lang has not been reported in the newspapers at all, which once again proves Liu Lang's strategic significance.
What does it mean to be low-key? Doing so much and not letting outsiders know about it is really low-key.
The Huo family is now completely convinced, this kid has truly achieved the level of being rich and rivaling the country, not only in terms of money, but also in his contribution to the country, and at the same time, the Huo family is also honored, there are few people who can share this secret, of course, this secret must be rotten in their hearts, at least it can't be leaked out in their mouths.
Huo Tianting personally made tea for Liu Lang, Liu Lang took a sip and put it down, and then pointed to a painting on the wall.
"Brother Huo, this painting is good!"
This painting is Zhang Daqian's work, a landscape painting, majestic and meaningful.
"Do you like it? I'll give it to you!"
Huo Tianting was about to take off the painting and give it to Liu Lang.
"No, no, I don't!"
Liu Lang waved his hand again and again.
"It's the work of modern painters, and I'm not very interested. ”
"Modern writers are not interested, this is easy to do, I still have a lot of antiques, you see, this, the Ming Dynasty painter Qiu Feng Shanshui, this, Xuande furnace, and this, the Qing Dynasty Liu Tongxun's words, take whichever one is in the picture, don't be polite to me!"
Huo Tianting couldn't wait to give these calligraphy, paintings, and antiques to the other party.
"Hehe, a gentleman doesn't like people, I don't want these, by the way, Brother Huo, you should have bought these things from the market, where did they sell them, and what is the price?"
"This is all bought from the Hong Kong Island antique market a few years ago, the price, not too expensive, this Xuande furnace is the best, but it is only more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the others are poor, about 340,000 yuan!"
"50,000 Hong Kong dollars? hehe, that's cheap!"
This Xuande furnace will be worth at least a few million yuan after more than 20 years, and Zhang Daqian's paintings, which will also cost millions at that time, anyway, all the antique calligraphy and paintings in this office will add up to more than 10 million in 20 years, but it is really not worth much now, at least in Liu Lang's opinion.
