On November 30, "Game of Death" was released in Hong Kong, and Huayi Brothers Pictures held a grand premiere for the release of the film.

Although Li Hualong is now the richest Chinese in the world, he was not the biggest focus at the premiere of "Game of Death", Bruce Lee, who is the director, screenwriter and starring in this film.

At the premiere, Li Hualong saw the radiant Bruce Lee, and he was happy for the other party in his heart.

"I persuaded Bruce Lee to give up using the muscle concussion machine, and I persuaded him not to take too many drugs, and now, "Game of Death" is released, and Bruce Lee's fate has been changed by me...... Not only the Hong Kong film industry and the Chinese world need him, but the whole world film industry needs a talent like him, and I hope he can make more good movies in the future. ”

The premiere of "Game of Death" was a success, and almost everyone in the audience who watched the movie applauded.

As the box office of "Game of Death" in Hong Kong continues to climb, overseas sales have also begun, and compared to "Enter the Dragon", "Game of Death" is released overseas, Huayi Brothers Pictures hopes to get a better share of the box office.

Li Hualong thought that he had changed Bruce Lee's fate, and Li Xiaono longer died young, but the god of fate did not act according to his wishes.

On December 1, the first business branch opened by Hang Seng Bank (Singapore) Limited, with a registered capital of HK$50 million, was put into use.

With the permission of the relevant departments of Singapore, Hang Seng Bank can use the deposits obtained in Singapore for the purpose of the bank to build the company's headquarters building in Singapore, and there is no need to issue loans to the outside world, which is equivalent to issuing loans for its own use, and there is no need to pay interest, because it needs to pay deposit interest to depositors, which will have negative profits.

Hang Seng Bank took out 50 million Hong Kong dollars, exchanged them for Singapore dollars, and then registered a wholly-owned company in Singapore.

The HK$50 million was insufficient to pay for the construction of the company building in Singapore by Hang Seng Bank. Counting the renovation, the cost of this building will not be less than HK$100 million, and the Singapore government will monitor the use of this HK$50 million, without worrying about the risk of Hang Seng Bank (Singapore) moving depositors' deposits to the construction of the building.

If there is a run on Hang Seng Bank Singapore. If there is not enough money for depositors to withdraw their deposits, and the headquarters of Hang Seng Bank is unwilling to inject capital to help the company go bankrupt, then the Singapore government can completely auction the fixed assets of Hang Seng Bank Singapore and will not let depositors lose all their money.

Hang Seng Bank's first branch in Singapore opened. Li Hualong did not make a special trip to Singapore, but the vice chairman of Hang Seng Bank, Ho Sin Heng, and the executive Li Guowei and other senior executives of the company came to Singapore to participate in and preside over the celebration.

On December 4th, at about half past seven in the morning, Li Hualong and Yang Meng both woke up, Yang Meng got out of bed first, she had just dressed and was about to go into the bathroom to wash, when there was a knock on the door.

"I'll open the door." Yang Meng said. walked to the door, opened the door, saw Xi Chongyi with a calm face, was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Chongyi, what's wrong?" ”

"Bruce Lee died." Xi Chongyi said in a deep voice.

Xi Chongyi's voice was not loud, and Li Hualong, who was dressing, heard her voice and said in surprise: "What? ”

Xi Chongyi walked into the bedroom and said in a deep voice: "Zou Huai called just now. Said Bruce Lee passed away this morning. ”

Yang Meng was puzzled: "Bruce Lee has always been in good health, I have never heard of any hidden illness in him, how could he die?" ”

"It should have been a death, specifically. I don't know. Xi Chongyi said, "This morning, after Bruce Lee's wife woke up, she couldn't wake up Bruce Lee, she immediately called and said the above, and waited to be sent to the hospital." Bruce Lee has passed away. ”

"It's good that his wife was with him last night." Li Hualong muttered to himself, after hearing the news of Bruce Lee's death, he knew that this could not be changed, but he didn't want Bruce Lee's reputation to be damaged after his death.

"It's a pity that Bruce Lee is so talented, he is still very young, and he died young." Yang Meng frowned and sighed.

Xi Chongyi saw that Li Hualong was in a daze, and asked with concern: "Ah Long, there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, and people are in trouble, you want to open a little." ”

"Although Bruce Lee died, I feel sorry for him and a little sad, but I won't be sad." Li Hualong said lightly, "What I can do now is to help his family deal with his funeral." ”

Xi Chongyi said: "I heard Bruce Lee say before that he said that after he died, he would be buried in Seattle, and he had already bought a cemetery for himself. ”

"Could it be that he himself will die young, this is impossible......" Li Hualong said secretly in his heart, looked at Xi Chongyi and asked, "When did he tell you?" ”

"Last summer, I couldn't wait for the specific time." Xi Chongyi replied.

"He's not taboo." Li Hualong shook his head and sighed lightly, "Bruce Lee died young, it's a pity!" ”

Bruce Lee's untimely death has caused widespread media coverage in Hong Kong, Southeast Asian countries, and even Europe and the United States.

The media and fans paid attention to Bruce Lee's death, and reported on his posthumous work "Game of Death", which greatly boosted the box office of the film.

The overseas rights of the film "Game of Death" have not yet been sold, and studios from all over the world have increased their offers.

Huayi Brothers Pictures Group not only helped Bruce Lee's family deal with Bruce Lee's funeral, but also opened the overseas sales of the film "Game of Death".

On Sunday, December 10, the brothers Li Hua and Li Huahu both brought their families to Li Hualong's house as guests.

After chatting a few words, Li Huahu brought the topic to Bruce Lee and "Game of Death".

"'Game of Death', I feel that the name of this movie is particularly unlucky." Li Huahu smiled, "Brother, do you think Bruce Lee's death will have anything to do with this movie, cursed or something?" ”

Li Hualong said: "Don't talk nonsense, the forensic doctor has already examined it, and the reason for Bruce Lee's death was drug allergies." ”。

Li Shenghua asked: "Uncle, in recent days, this movie has set off a movie-watching frenzy in Hong Kong, this is Bruce Lee's posthumous work, the income from overseas sales must be very high, can you make 100 million US dollars?" ”

"The global box office is expected to exceed 100 million US dollars, as for Huayi Brothers Pictures, there is definitely no revenue of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the investor producer earns two dollars, and wants to give Bruce Lee a dollar."

"Maybe you can't make $100 million, 50 million dollars, I think it's still very promising." Li Shenghua smiled, "If you earn 50 million US dollars, Bruce Lee's widow can get 25 million US dollars, which is converted into Hong Kong dollars, more than 100 million." By the way, the Mi government levied a high inheritance tax, and Bruce Lee's widow was going to bleed. ”

"Aaron, you can find a way to make Bruce Lee's widow pay less inheritance tax." Li Huahu suggested.

Li Hualong was slightly stunned, before, he hadn't thought about this problem, thought for a moment, nodded and said: "I will discuss with Bruce Lee's widow and lawyer, and strive to pay less taxes under the legal situation." ”

After a day, Li Hualong and many senior executives of Huayi Brothers Pictures, as well as directors and actors who have worked with Bruce Lee, took a plane to the United States to attend Bruce Lee's funeral.

On December 15, Bruce Lee was buried at Lakeview Cemetery in Seattle, Washington.

This time, Li Hualong did not stay in the United States for a long time, and the day after Bruce Lee's burial, he left the United States and returned to Hong Kong. (To be continued.) )xh118
