Chapter 31: In the Eyes of Others
On October 3, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the lunar calendar, Li Huahu, who was in school on this day, waited until after school and hurried home.
Li Huahu returned home, and without chatting with his family, he asked Li Hualong about the movie "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu".
"Third brother, "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" will be released the day after tomorrow, you must have seen this movie, is it good?"
"It's beautiful." Li Hualong said with a smile.
"It's better than your "Once Upon a Time"?"
"To each his own."
"How much does this movie cost?" Li Huahu asked again.
"It cost almost 450,000."
"The movie "Peerless Beauty" seems to have cost more than 600,000 yuan, how can the cost of the movie "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" be so low?"
"Let your third sister-in-law answer this question." Li Hualong smiled and set his eyes on Yang Meng.
Yang Meng smiled and said: "The clothes of "Peerless Beauty" are very gorgeous, and it costs a lot of money to make costumes, and the cost of building shooting scenes is not small, these investments are not one-time, and you can also shoot other costume dramas in the future." ”
"Oh, I see." Li Huahu smiled and nodded, "Third sister-in-law, have you watched the movie "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu"? ”
"I've seen it, and I watched it with your third brother, it's really good."
"How much do you think you can make at the box office in Hong Kong?" Li Huahu asked.
"It's hard to say." Yang Meng smiled and pondered for a moment, "I hope it can exceed 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars." ”
"Wow, it's scary that the Hong Kong market alone has more than doubled its profits." Li Huahu smiled and said, "I said it wrong, the cinema and the cinema also have to share the money, and the profit margin is not so good." ”
"That's right, the theater will take more than half of the box office." Yang Meng smiled.
Two days later, under the anticipation of many Hong Kong fans, "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" was officially released in major theaters in Hong Kong, and the earliest screening time was 9 o'clock in the morning.
On October 5th, this day is a Sunday, many company employees in Hong Kong have a holiday, many people do not sleep lazy, get up early, have breakfast and come to the front of the theater to buy movie tickets.
Many people were a little disappointed because they came late and had to wait in a long line to be able to buy movie tickets.
"Wow, such a long line, when will I be able to buy tickets!" A young man who had just lined up looked at the long line in front of him and said depressedly.
The man who was a few years older in front turned his head, smiled slightly, and answered: "No way, who made Huayi Brothers Film Group make a good movie!" ”
Seeing that the other party was wearing myopic glasses, the young man glanced at his mouth and said lightly: "It used to be good-looking, but it doesn't mean that this company will make movies that are good in the future." ”
"That's right!"
Seeing that the man with glasses did not refute his words, the young man smiled, originally he had no good impression of the person wearing glasses, and said with a smile: "I have seen all the movies invested and made by Huayi Brothers Film Group, there are several, I have watched them a few times, they are really good-looking, they can be regarded as good products, worthy of the sentence 'Huayi production, must be a good film'." I also like the novels written by Li Hualong. ”
"I also like the novels written by Li Hualong, which one do you like the most?"
"Well, I love every single one. If I had to name my favorite, I really liked "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". What about you, which novel do you like? ”
"I like "Book of Swords and Enmity" more."
"In "Book of Swords and Enmity", it is said that Qianlong is a Han Chinese, is this true, or is it made up by Li Hualong?"
"There has long been a story of 'stealing the dragon and turning the phoenix' in the history of the wild, not counting Li Hualong's fabrication, but some of the stories written by Li Hualong are all made up by himself, and they are very good."
The young man smiled and said: "I don't know how Li Hualong's head grows, it's too smart, I can't admire it!" ”
"He's definitely extremely smart, not to mention that he writes novels and scripts well, and he's so good at business. His Hualong Real Estate Company has made a lot of money in recent years. ”
"Who's to say it's not." The envious expression on the young man's face, "The hotel that Li Hualong invested in building in Queen's Road is about to be capped, and such a big hotel, after the decoration, will cost 20 million." ”
"The hotel must be more than 20 million, but the investment to build such a big hotel is not all his money, he asked the bank to borrow money."
"How do you know?" The young man asked curiously.
"A friend of mine works for Jiu'an."
"Jiu'an Company? Is this Li Hualong's company? The young man asked again.
"It's not. Jiu'an Company is the company of Li Hualong's eldest brother, Li Huawen, and most of the houses built by Hualong Real Estate Company in the past two years were built by this company, and Li Huawen also has a stake in this hotel, as if the shares of the two brothers are the same. ”
"In recent years, housing prices have risen so much, and Hualong Real Estate Company must have made a lot of money by selling so many houses. I guess Li Hualong now has tens of millions of assets, right? ”
"I don't know, but sure, in the near future, he will become a billionaire." The eyed man smiled.
"I heard that he turned out to be a rich boy. It's really more human than human, and it's infuriating! The young man sighed.
"Even if his parents don't have money, with Li Hualong's ability, he will become a rich man, Li Hualong is not a person who relies on his parents."
"I believe that. It's scary to make a movie and make millions. Hehe, I read in the newspaper that there are several rich people who invest in making movies, and hundreds of thousands of dollars are invested, but the capital is not earned, and I laugh to death. The young man gloated, "Those people only saw the thief eating meat, but they didn't see the thief being beaten." ”
"Not every thief will be caught. If Li Hualong is a thief, then he can be regarded as a thief. ”
On this day, Li Huahu also came to the cinema to watch "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu", but he did not queue up, because his third brother Li Hualong chartered a movie theater under his own and invited relatives and friends to the cinema to watch the movie.
The movie that Li Hualong invited people to watch opened at half past nine, and when the movie ended, it was a little after eleven o'clock, and it was time for lunch.
In addition to inviting guests to watch movies, Li Hualong also invited guests to lunch.
Just busy with the publicity work of "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu", Wang Tianlin, Song Songhai and Xia Meng teamed up again, and on October 14, "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" started filming.
Li Hualong Real Estate Company did not participate in the opening ceremony of "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement", which was the first time he did not participate in the opening ceremony of his own film investment and filming.
Li Hualong knows very well in his heart that in the future, Huayi Brothers Film Group will invest in more and more films, and it is impossible for him to participate in the opening ceremony of each film and the celebration banquet, after all, he has too many things to do, and he doesn't want to put too much time and mind on the film company.
Yang Meng stayed in the crew of "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement" for only two days, she left the set, and on the morning of the 16th, she received a call from Li Hualong and learned that her sister-in-law Zhou Liyun gave birth to a daughter in Queen Mary Hospital.
After Yang Meng came to the hospital to visit Zhou Liyun and the newborn baby girl, she did not return to the set immediately, and that night, she stayed at the Li family on Hong Kong Island.
After entering the bedroom, Yang Meng took the initiative to tease Li Hualong.
"Mengmeng, what's wrong with you today?" Li Hualong quipped.
"I miss you...... Xianggong, I want it! ”
"Okay, I'm satisfied!"
Xiao Bie is newlywed, and the two inspire infinite enthusiasm.
After lingering passion, the flushed Yang Meng snuggled in Li Hualong's arms.
"Aaron, I'm ovulating these two days."
"Hehe, do you still want it?" Li Hualong sneered.
"I didn't want it anymore." Yang Meng said angrily, "I'm just talking to you, don't think about it." ”
"Don't think about it, children's affairs will take their course."
"Ugh!" Yang Meng responded lightly and was silent for a while, "When will you go to the set next time?" ”
"It's been a busy few days, the new real estate is going to go on sale, and I want to keep an eye on it." Li Hualong sorted out the flowing sea in front of Yang Meng's forehead with his fingers, "In a few days, I will take the time to go to the set to see you, you can often return to Hong Kong Island when you have time, don't be tired of yourself." ”
"I'm not tired of myself, but you, don't go out to work during the day and write novels for a long time at night." Yang Meng smiled.
"Don't worry, I've always slept well. By the way, in the past two days, you have been filming movies on the set, right? ”
"It's smooth. Director Wang Tianlin said that he may be able to finish filming this movie in two months. ”
"Don't rush to work for the sake of saving, the quality of the film is the most important thing."
"I know, Director Wang Tianlin also knows, hehe, in fact, the company has taken the phrase 'Huayi production, it must be a good film' to heart."
"Just keep it in mind." Li Hualong said with a smile.
