Chapter 19: Sensation

Li Huahu knew that the eldest brother and the third brother had separated from his father, and in the future, Evergrande Company would be inherited by him and his second brother, and the company made money, which was great news for him.

"I don't have as much ability as your second brother, Evergrande Real Estate has earned more than one million. Huahu, don't be too little, although I am the general manager of Hualong Company, but the business strategy of this company is your third brother's idea, he bought a few pieces of land, and the location is very good......"

"Abba," Li Huahu interrupted with a smile, "How could I be too little, the third brother has the ability, everyone knows it, I won't envy him, I will only admire him, and worship him." ”

"I have what you deserve to worship." Li Hualong smiled modestly.

"You are a great talent, many of my classmates admire you as a senior, and it is normal for me to worship you." Li Huahu said with a smile.

"Your third brother, I am a mortal, and there will be times when I make mistakes, don't worship me." Li Hualong smiled and shook his head, he really didn't want his family to worship him.

"Third brother, my classmates are looking forward to "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian", when will this movie be released?" Li Huahu asked.

"The post-production zuò has just begun, and it is estimated that it will be released in August, and it is planned to be released in early August."

"How much money is expected to make from this film?"

"In August, the school is out for the summer vacation, and this movie will definitely attract many students to the theater to watch!" Li Hualong said confidently, "If you are lucky, you can earn a million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"Hua Long, you have worked hard enough to make this movie. Before the start of filming, I won't talk about the preparations you did, it took more than three months to make this movie, and you were tired and tired every day, and now that you are in post-production, you also have to spend a lot of thought...... Doing so much, plus luck, I can make a million at most. Do you think it's worth it? Li Yisong asked.

Before Li Hualong could answer, Li Huahu interjected: "Abba, you are also a little too vulgar, movies are also an art, big brother makes movies, an elegant thing, how can you compare business, you are ......"

"Huahu, you said it." Li Hualong interrupted, "In the process of running Hualong Real Estate Company, we have made profits and solved many people's housing problems, which can be regarded as a contribution to society. ”

"Third brother, if you say so, then opening a regular casino and paying taxes to the government can be regarded as a contribution to society?"

"When you say that, it's a bit true." Li Hualong smiled faintly, and after a while, his tone changed, "However, you are not completely wrong, if there are no regular casinos, there will definitely be more underground casinos, and there will definitely be more people who lose their homes due to gambling." ”

"Huahu, when you were very young, I taught you that you must not be contaminated with the vice of gambling, and you must not smoke **, you haven't forgotten it, right?" Li Yisong asked in a deep voice.

"Abba, don't worry, I haven't forgotten jì, and I dare not forget jì. I'm not interested in gambling, and I don't dare to smoke. ”

"In addition to **, other drugs can't be messed with." Li Hualong said.

"I know what I know." Li Huahu said seriously, changed the topic and said, "Third brother, has your company made a new movie recently?" ”

"Yes, there was a new movie that started filming last month, and "Ming Pao" published the news, you don't know."

"Didn't you notice, what movie, who directed it, and who else starred in it?"

"A romance film in the early days of the Republic of China, titled "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon", directed by Wang Tianlin and starring Lin Dai."

Li Huahu glanced at Xia Meng and asked, "Lin Dai is a newcomer highly praised by your company?" ”

"It's not a strong support. Huayi is still a new company, although it has made a few movies with good box office, it is still a small company, and there are not many actors to choose from......"

The villa that Li Hualong gave to Xia Meng was very close to his house, less than six hundred meters, and even if he walked, it wouldn't take much time.

After dinner, Li Hualong walked out to send Xia Meng home, and two bodyguards followed behind them not far away.

While chatting, Li Hualong asked coldly: "Mengmeng, when will you live in my house?" ”

Xia Meng was stunned when he heard this, a touch of shyness appeared on his face, he glanced at Li Hualong, lowered his head, and said shyly: "We haven't officially married yet!" ”

Li Hualong said with a smile: "I've been very busy lately, and when the post-production of "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian" is completed, we will go to apply for a marriage certificate, okay?" ”

"Okay!" Xia Meng stopped, took a few deep breaths, plucked up his courage, and gave a fragrant kiss emotionally.

In the process of dating Li Hualong, Xia Meng felt very happy all the time, she was 10,000 satisfied with Li Hualong, if she really wanted to find a shortcoming, that is, Li Hualong was too good, she was worried that Li Hualong would not be able to resist the temptation and like other women.

Xia Meng could feel that several young actresses under Huayi Brothers Film Group admired Li Hualong very much, and she noticed that when these people saw Li Hualong, their eyes lit up, and she felt that as long as Li Hualong hooked his fingers, these girls would throw themselves into their arms.

In the past few months, Xia Meng often had nightmares, dreaming that Li Hualong abandoned her for the sake of other women.

"I'm going to be Mrs. Li soon, I'm so happy."

Xia Meng was very happy in her heart, she had long been looking forward to becoming Li Hualong's wife, when she heard Li Hualong say that he wanted to get a marriage certificate with her, which made her hanging heart finally drop a little.

Hurry up and hurry, and at the end of July, Li Hualong's first film "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian" completed the post-production work.

After doing the math, the production cost of the film "Wong Fei Hung: Righteousness Bo Yuntian" exceeds 650,000 Hong Kong dollars, and with the publicity fee, the cost may exceed 700,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Li Hualong is not worried at all that investing in the filming of "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian" will lose money, he feels that this movie can at least get more than double the profit, and the investment in setting up the film photography scene is very large, these investments are not one-time, they can be used in the future, when calculating the cost, these fixed asset investments can be completely removed, if not counted, the return on investment will definitely be higher.

Long before the post-production work was completed, employees of Huayi Brothers Film Group had already contacted the directors of various theaters in Hong Kong and invited them to watch the film.

As early as the year before last (1949), Cantonese opera celebrity Kwan Dexing starred in "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung The First Episode: The Whip Wind Extinguishes the Candle" was released in Hong Kong and achieved a good box office, and then Kwan Dexing successively starred in "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung: The Fire Burns the Overlord Village", "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung Episode 3: Blood Battle Flowing Flower Bridge", "The Legend of Wong Fei Hung Episode 4: Liang Kuan Returns to the Sky" and "The Finale of Wong Fei Hung" Four martial arts films with Wong Fei Hung as the protagonist.

Wong Fei Hung starring Kwan Tak Hing is very outstanding, including some Hong Kong theater directors, many Hong Kong audiences equate Wong Fei Hung with Kwan Tak Hing.

In the first few minutes, the person in charge of the theater who participated in the film felt that the movie "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian" was a little different, and when they saw the martial arts scene, their eyes widened, and many people exclaimed: "I didn't expect that the martial arts scene can be filmed like this, it's so good-looking!" ”

The film viewing party was very successful, Li Hualong did not bother to speak, and the heads of various theaters were willing to sign an agreement with Huayi Brothers Film Group on the box office share of the film "Huang Feihong: The Righteousness of Bo Yuntian".

Compared with the two films "Hong Kong Holiday" and "Tang Bohu's Autumn Fragrance", Huayi Brothers Film Group's "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian" was released in Hong Kong theaters, and the film company can get an additional three percentage points of the box office share.

On August 1, "Wong Fei Hung's Righteousness Bo Yuntian" was released in major theaters in Hong Kong, and on the first day of the release, almost every theater had people queuing up to buy movie tickets.

With the box office of "Huang Feihong: The Righteousness of Bo Yuntian" rising, major film distributors in Southeast Asia have approached Li Hualong to negotiate the purchase of the distribution and screening rights of this film.

After more than a week of negotiations, Li Hualong signed agreements with a number of film distributors to sell the distribution and screening rights of "Once Upon a Time" in many countries, earning a total of HK$1.1 million.

In order to attract more Hong Kong people to the cinema to watch the movie "Wong Fei Hung's Righteousness Bo Yuntian", Li Hualong specially asked "Ming Pao" to publish that Huayi Brothers Film Group earned 1.1 million Hong Kong dollars from this film.

Obviously, the vast majority of the audience who went to the theater to watch the movie were not disappointed, and many viewers did not enjoy watching it and paid for tickets again.

There are not a few martial arts fans who have gone to the theater to watch it no less than ten times, and some newspapers have reported this situation, which has caused a lot of topics, such as how to shoot a good movie, and many intellectuals who like to watch movies have written articles to express their opinions.
