"BOSS, this is the famous Hughes Lab. This was the result of growing with the aircraft company, thanks to Mr. Howard Hughes, a legendary figure who founded the lab that is now one of the most important in the nation.

In particular, the research in the field of lasers has always been among the top in the world, and we have research links with hundreds of universities in the United States, and we have a good foundation and a good reputation for the rest of the electronics, optics, communications, systems, etc. ”

Two days later, at the foot of Malibu Mountain, California, Li Feng and his entourage arrived at the Hughes Laboratory, at this time, under the leadership of Dr. Smith, the director of the laboratory, Li Feng and his party began to visit and introduce relevant information about the laboratory to Li Feng and others.

"Mr. Howard Hughes is indeed a legend, but it's a pity that I can't see him. Listening to the introduction of the person in charge of the research institute, especially when introducing the founder of this laboratory, Howard Hughes, Li Feng couldn't help but sigh.

"John, if you could meet this Mr. Hughes, you would be very good at talking. Kenny interjected.

"Don't you know that our legendary American hero is also called 'the world's greatest pervert who is dedicated to Hollywood actresses'. Looking at the puzzled expressions of Li Feng and the others, Kenny immediately laughed.

"Oh, haha..." Listening to Kenny's teasing, thinking of this Mr. Hughes's life review and Li Feng's various Hollywood rumors, everyone immediately burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone laughing, Li Feng immediately replied with a smile: "What's the matter, Mr. Hughes is really my idol." ”

Listening to Li Feng's words, everyone laughed again.

……

When the name Howard Hughes is mentioned in the United States, it can be like the names of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and other figures, to the point that almost everyone knows it, and it is a well-known legendary figure in the history of American imperialism.

His legendary life is admired by the American people, and most American imperialists regard Howard Hughes as a legendary hero of American imperialism, and Stan Lee, the father of Marvel, once said that Iron Man is based on him.

Take a look at the introduction of Stark, the company where Iron Man is located in Marvel, Howard Stark single-handedly created Stark, this is a rich man, an arms dealer, and a super genius, naturally, the future Iron Man is also such a character, and he has to add a playboy image.

However, in the hearts of the American imperialists, Howard Hughes is such a person, a big tycoon, an arms dealer, a super genius, and a super playboy. Li Feng, a guy who has lived in the United States for more than 10 years, has naturally heard the name of Howard Hughes.

In the previous life, with the popularity of the later Marvel world around the world, the prototype of Iron Man was hot, such as Musk, Eric, etc., but you must know that when Stan Lee created Iron Man, later people were not yet beautiful, and they were not even born.

Therefore, the debate about the prototype of Iron Man does not need to be debated at all, Howard Hughes is the prototype of Iron Man, compared to Howard Hughes, what really feels like Elon Musk is too LO.

Similarly, Li Feng also has a general understanding of Howard Hughes's legendary life, and he is worthy of being remembered by almost everyone in the United States, and such a figure is destined to be a celebrity in history.

……

This awesome character known as the "most bullish rich second generation" has many titles, such as entrepreneur, aviator, aerospace engineer, film producer, director, actor, the first billion-dollar super-rich person in the United States, the most bullish playboy, the prototype of Iron Man, etc.

Yes, this Niu Cha character is a rich second generation, although it is not the super rich second generation like Morgan and Rockefeller, but he inherited nearly one million fortunes in the 20s, and the gold million fortune in the 20s is also considered to belong to the richest class in the United States.

This man who is over 1.9 meters tall, has a handsome and handsome appearance, and is a rich man, it can be said that the word 'rich and handsome' is simply tailor-made for Hughes.

Hughes became an orphan at the age of 18, and his relatives originally thought that you would go to school first and then inherit the family business after graduation. But this rich second generation was unwilling to drop out of school to inherit the family business, and through a bank loan to wholly acquire the shares of the company's remaining shareholders, hire new managers to help manage and help make money, but he was ready to realize his life dream.

I have to say, there is a saying that money is human nature, and it may be a character like Hughes, who set three goals for himself in life when he became an adult at the age of 18.

One is to become the best golfer in the world, the second is to become the most famous filmmaker, and the third is to become the best pilot.

It can be said that this rich second generation is definitely a dreamer in life.

……

It is said that Hughes's golf level has definitely reached the professional level, of course, he only barely stepped into the professional level, so when he stepped into the professional golf circle with great interest, he was hit and crushed by a series of blows, and finally he couldn't stand all kinds of cynicism and quit professional golf.

No, the first dream can't be realized, so start realizing the second dream, that is, to be the most famous filmmaker in Hollywood, just like those rich bigwigs in later generations, rich and easy to do, and the rich second generation is the same, young and handsome, he plunged into Hollywood.

The first film was shot with an independent investment of 80,000 US dollars, don't think that 80,000 US dollars is less, you must know that it was in the 20s, if it is calculated according to the exchange rate, inflation, etc., it is at least 2 or 30 million US dollars in this era.

As a result, after the film was filmed, when Hughes took the movie to his Hollywood screenwriter uncle, he was ridiculed by his uncle, saying that if such a movie could be released in Hollywood, it would become a laughing stock in Hollywood.

Hughes, who has a good face, did not hesitate, and burned the pieces with a fire, so that the original 80,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to today's 2 or 30 million US dollars, is really 'burned out', this is the real 'burning money'.

However, for Hughes, who is a rich second generation, has an oil drilling company running and has income every day, 80,000 US dollars is a small meaning, in order to become the 'most famous producer' dream, what is a few dollars.

Next, perhaps it was really luck, Hughes met the genius director Lewis Milesstone, and as a result, he shot three movies in a row, each of which was a big hit, and even became the best director at the Oscar, which made Hughes completely firm in Hollywood.

……

But what really made its reputation rise to prominence was its next series of actions.

On the occasion of his 21st birthday, the rich second generation, who began to become famous in the United States, swelled up, felt that making movies was just like that, and even proposed an epoch-making film production shooting plan, which is a real super big production.

So how big is the big production in Hughes's eyes, in the era when there are no special effects, the shooting effects are all spent on nothing.

For example, in order to shoot a battle scene, thousands of extras were directly recruited, and a scene cost 300,000 US dollars, which was a normal budget for a movie at that time.

Since it is an air combat film with pilots as the main line, there must be airplanes, so 87 planes were obtained before filming, and an airport was built at a cost of 400,000 US dollars to accommodate the planes.

Maybe I'm used to watching air combat movies in later generations or something, dozens of planes have no concept, but now they are all made of special effects, what was the concept of 87 planes at that time.

As a simple example, four years later, after the 1.28 incident in China, the Nationalist Government gathered the strength of the whole country and gathered 25 planes to fight Japan in the magic capital, and the total number of planes in this movie he made could arm most of the air forces in Asia.

In addition to these, in order to shoot the real effect, Hughes asked the pilots to perform all kinds of dangerous flight maneuvers, and as a result, 3 pilots were killed, and Hughes himself was also smashed into a brain shock, broke his ribs, and was seriously injured.

……

At that time, filming was still in the era of silent films, but at the end of the shooting, the sound movie began, Hughes disliked the bad voice of the previous movie heroine, and directly fired the main one, and found a sweet, young and beautiful 19-year-old heroine - Jane Harlou, remake the sound movie, and finally made the heroine an instant hit.

Naturally, this Jen Haru became one of Hughes's many Hollywood star lovers.

The whole movie was tossed back and forth for more than 3 years, using up more than 1,000 kilometers of film, and finally its practical use was less than 1%, the movie was finally about to be released, Hughes spent 4 million US dollars before and after, and it was rumored in Hollywood at the time that Hughes would go bankrupt if the movie hit the streets.

What was the concept of $4 million at that time, think about Hughes's oil drilling company was super profitable, but it was about to go bankrupt, you can imagine.

At that time, 4 million was roughly equivalent to 1.2 billion now, spending 1.2 billion US dollars to make a movie, have you ever seen such a madman?

When the movie was released, everyone was not optimistic about Hughes, thinking that Hughes was going to lose to his grandmother's family, but it was an economic crisis and the Great Depression, but after the movie was released, it caused a sensation in the United States, and everyone was shaking the big scenes of the movie, as if Lao Mei had always been good at the so-called 'big scenes, big productions'.

As a result, the box office exceeded 8 million, and Hughes made a lot of money, and just when everyone in the United States was looking forward to his next movie, Hughes disappeared from everyone's eyes.
