Spielberg's writing style was heavily influenced by the theme song of the film Pinocchio, "Astar", in which he invited J. Allen Brown, who had worked with the U.S. Air Force on the Blue Book Project. Dr. Henick (K) serves as the film's scientific advisor.

Heinick believes that although the story of this film is purely fictional, much of the content is based on mysterious events that actually happened, and there is no doubt that the UFO phenomenon is captured in real and believable places.

Spielberg hoped that "Contact of the Third Kind" would take the box office by storm like "Jaws", so he was under a lot of pressure during the preparation process.

The United States Air Force and Navy have refused to assist in the filming of "The Third Kind of Contact", which Li Hualong has long expected and did not mind too much, in the eyes of some Chinese people, Universal Pictures is no longer a pure Hollywood film company, but a foreign-funded enterprise, and it is a Chinese-owned enterprise.

……

More than a month after "Jaws" was publicly released in the United States, on August 1, the original English Chinese and traditional subtitles version of "Jaws" was released in Hong Kong.

Today, Lianhua Cinemas Line has 42 cinemas in Hong Kong, with 86 screens and 36,000 seats.

The entire cinema in Hong Kong, as well as the cinemas that usually show movies, have a total of more than 80,000 seats, and the standing ratio of Lianhua Cinema Line is as high as 45%.

Lianhua Cinema Line and Huayi Brothers Film Group are brother companies, and if Li Hualong wanted to monopolize the market, he could have asked Lianhua Cinema not to reflect the films of Hong Kong film production companies, but he did not do so. As long as the high-quality movies are available, they can be released on the Lianhua Cinema Line.

Li Hualong didn't know if Hong Kong fans would be able to accept the movie "Jaws", so he arranged for 30 cinemas to screen the movie.

"Jaws" received a high box office in the United States, and the film was invested and produced by Li Hualong's Universal Pictures, and many Hong Kong media outlets reported the news. It has attracted the attention of many Hong Kong fans.

On the first day of its release in Hong Kong, 30 movie theaters screened "Jaws", and every one of them was full, and some fans even entered the theater and stood in the aisle to watch the film through the internal connections of the theater.

Although the first few days were full, Li Hualong did not increase the number of movie theaters showing the film. As well as the number of screenings, he hopes to keep more cinemas to screen Hong Kong films.

"Jaws" was a big hit at the Hong Kong box office, and Li Hualong didn't know whether to be happy or unhappy.

Li Hualong hopes that Huayi Brothers Pictures will be able to make several excellent film works every year, not only in Hong Kong. It is also necessary to make huge profits on a global scale, so that Hong Kong films can go global, and I hope that Hong Kong films can compete with Hollywood films.

At the same time, Li Hualong also knows very well in his heart that even if he has the memory of two people and knows some big things that will happen in the future, he can become the richest man in the world, and even make Universal Pictures the most powerful company in Hollywood. But he wants to make Hong Kong movies surpass Hollywood movies, which is too difficult. The possibility is almost zero, after all, Hollywood is backed by the world's number one power, Mi Guo.

"Jaws" was released in Hong Kong for half a month, and it achieved a box office of 2 million Hong Kong dollars, which is the first foreign language film to break 2 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office in Hong Kong.

Last year, the Hong Kong box office champion was "Ghost Horse Double Star" written, directed and acted by Xu Guanjie. In Hong Kong, the box office in Hong Kong reached a whopping HK$6.42 million, which was last year's box office champion. Although it is still some distance from the box office record of 7.5 million Hong Kong dollars set by Bruce Lee's posthumous film "Game of Death" in Hong Kong. But achieving such a box office still attracted a lot of attention.

Soon after the filming of "Ghost Horse Double Star" was released, Xu Guanjie began to write the script of the second movie, but he had not yet written it, and Li Hualong still appreciated his attitude of slow work and meticulous work.

Huayi Brothers did not choose to sign a long-term cooperation contract with Xu Guanjie before the release of "Ghost Horse Double Star", and after the film achieved a high box office in Hong Kong, Xu Guanjie did not refuse to continue to cooperate with Huayi Brothers.

Of course, Xu Guanjie can't write three movie scripts to Huayi Brothers casually, Huayi Brothers has the right to refuse, if Li Huayi Brothers reject Xu Guanjie's script, Xu Guanjie can keep the script, whether it's his own sole proprietorship investment, or find a partner to shoot in a joint venture.

Huayi Brothers can refuse Xu Guanjie many times in a row, and if this happens, then the scripts written by Xu Guanjie himself must be submitted to Huayi Brothers first, until Huayi Brothers accepts the scripts of the three movies before they can complete the cooperation.

If there is a problem in the cooperation between Huayi Brothers and Xu Guanjie, it is very likely that Shuangfa will not be able to complete the contract of the three films for a long time, and the contract does not have a deadline, and there is no one party to compensate the other party for losses, but the two parties can negotiate to terminate the contract.

……

In mid-August, Mr. Lee signed a number of agreements to acquire a large amount of land in Tin Shui Wai in preparation for the issuance of a large-scale real estate project in Tin Shui Wai, which he has ambitions to build a new town with a population of 500,000 within 20 years.

Li Huawen did not know in advance that Li Hualong had purchased a large amount of land in Tin Shui Wai, and he saw the news in the newspaper when he was working in the company.

Li Huawen wanted to call Li Hualong, but he didn't know where Li Hualong was, and now he didn't have a mobile phone, so he called Li Hualong's home and inquired and learned that Li Hualong went to work at Hutchison Whampoa Company today.

Li Huawen knew the telephone numbers of the chairman's office of Li Hualong's various companies, and when he called the office of the chairman of Hutchison Whampoa, Li Hualong was working in the office.

"Big brother, why did you call me at this time, what's the matter?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"You are really generous, you bought a lot of land in Tin Shui Wai without making a sound. Have you ever counted this huge project. How much money does it cost? ”

"Tens of billions, but I don't need to invest tens of billions, I estimate that if I invest another 2 billion in this project, I can leverage the entire project."

"How much money do you expect to make?"

"I'm not an immortal, so I can't give you an accurate answer." Li Hualong smiled. "Based on total sales, I don't expect the profit to be less than 30 percent." ”

"How many years are you going to spend developing this project?"

"Twenty years. Spend 20 years developing a new town in Tin Shui Wai with a population of 500,000. ”

"Haha, the whole of Hong Kong, no. It's a real world, and that's why you can say such atmospheric things. Li Huawen said with a smile.

"Don't praise me!" Li Hualong smiled brightly, "Although the prospects of this project are optimistic, there are also risks. ”

"The land in Tin Shui Wai is cheap, and it is important to operate properly. With such a big project, the profits are still very lucrative. ”

At this time, Li Huawen heard a knock on the door and continued: "Third child, let's talk about this first, I still have something to do here." ”

"Okay, bye-bye!"

As soon as Li Hualong hung up the phone, he got up and left the office. Even if Li Huawen doesn't hang up the phone, he will say that he will end the call, and he will attend the high-level meeting of Hutchison Whampoa. The main topic of the meeting was the sale of promising subsidiaries.

That night, Li Hualong spent the night in Chen Sisi's room.

After enjoying the joy of fish and water, Li Hualong hugged Chen Sisi's delicate body and asked softly: "Sisi, you really don't accompany me to London?" ”

"No, no." Chen Sisi smiled, "There are two sisters with you." Are you still not satisfied? ”

"Don't you know that I'm not one to be easily satisfied?" Li Hualong asked with a smile.

"Yes." Chen Sisi still had a smile on his face, "If Shengke goes to study abroad next year." Let's take him to school together, okay? ”

"Good!"

"Then we'll settle it." Chen Sisi smiled sweetly. kissed Li Hualong on the lips.

Li Linqi and Li Shengrui, who have just turned 18, have both been admitted to universities in London, England, and in a little more than a week, Li Hualong, Yang Meng, and Xi Chongyi will accompany them to London.

Although Li Linqi is not Chen Sisi's biological daughter, the two have a good relationship, just like their biological mother and daughter, Li Linqi likes clothing design, Chen Sisi not only taught her how to draw design drawings, but also often took her to the design office of Jeanswest Clothing Company.

Li Linqi tried to design a few clothes, and with the support of Chen Sisi, these designs were made into clothes and achieved good sales.

Through her own efforts, Li Linqi was admitted to Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London, which is the most famous and largest art and design school in the United Kingdom, which is part of the University of the Arts London and one of the four major fashion design schools in the world.

With excellent results, Li Shengrui was admitted to the Department of Architecture of Cambridge University.

Li Hualong does not have too many requirements for his children's studies, he just wants them to be able to finish college, as for what major to study, he does not mind, he encourages his children to study their favorite majors.

Influenced by Li Hualong, Li Shengrui has liked architectural design since he was a child, and in the summer of last year (1974), he went to Li Hualong's Greenland Architectural Design Company for an internship, and Li Hualong also specially invited several excellent architectural designers to take the time to teach Li Shengrui.

Li Hualong is 100% satisfied with the children of Li Shengrui and Li Linqi, and the media calls them "Li Family Young Eagles", he feels that his children are worthy of the word "Young Eagles", and in a few years, the Young Eagles will become eagles that can soar into the sky.

Chen Sisi chatted with Li Hualong for a few words and asked, "Sheng Rui and Lin Qi are studying in London, do you let them live on campus or off-campus?" ”

"Live on campus. Living on campus allows them to spend more time with their classmates and better integrate into university life. ”

"Yes." Chen Sisi smiled slightly, "Isn't it interesting to go to college?" ”

"It's okay."

"What do you mean it's okay?"

"In the four years of college, I learned some knowledge and made some friends. Do you regret not going to university? ”

"Nope!" Chen Sisi affirmed, "If I had gone to college, maybe we wouldn't have known each other." ”

"yes. Many things are predestined in the dark. Li Hualong smiled, stared at Chen Sisi for a moment, and asked softly, "Sisi, have you ever regretted following me all these years?" ”

"Nope!"

"Really?"

"You're trying to make me lie?" Chen Sisi asked with a grin.

"Thank you!" Li Hualong kissed Chen Sisi on the cheek.

"Old husband and wife, don't you think it's very unusual to say this?" Chen Sisi said with a smile.

Li Hualong smiled noncommittally, stretched out his hand to turn off the light, and said, "Sleep, good night!" ”

"Brother Long, good night!" Chen Sisi said angrily, smiling and kissing Li Hualong's lips.

"Huh!" Li Hualong smiled and sighed, "God favors me too much!" ”

"Don't talk about it, go to sleep!" Chen Sisi smiled, closed his eyes with a smile, and after a while, he fell asleep.

This night, Li Hualong also slept very sweetly, and now he has almost no worries affecting his sleep. (To be continued) R466
