Chapter 28 Blood Donation
After going out, Li Hualong and Yang Meng took a car directly to Queen Mary Hospital.
Li Hualong originally wanted to do good deeds without leaving his name, and he didn't think about letting his "Ming Pao" report on his and Yang Meng's blood donation, but he happened to meet a reporter sent by "Ta Kung Pao" to Queen Mary Hospital to interview voluntary blood donors.
"It's enough to take a few shots, don't shoot any more." Li Hualong had blood vessels inserted in his arm, and he couldn't stop the reporter from taking pictures at all, so he could only move his mouth and say a few words.
"Mr. Li Hualong, Miss Xia Meng, are you donating blood?" The reporter asked with a smile.
"You knowingly asked." Li Hualong smiled faintly.
"Why are you here to donate blood?" The reporter asked again.
"We read the newspaper reports and learned that the Hong Kong Red Cross has cooperated with the Medical Bureau to set up a 'blood bank' to accept voluntary blood donations. Xia Meng and I both feel that voluntary blood donation is a good thing, she and I are very healthy, donating some blood, not only will not affect our health, but can improve hematopoietic function, which is good for the body. β
"How much blood do you donate, and how much does Miss Xia Meng donate?"
"I donate 300 milliliters, Xia Meng donates 200 milliliters."
"Would you encourage all Hong Kong people to donate blood?"
"Nope. Everyone's physical condition is different, some people are in poor health, and some people are malnourished, and these people cannot be forced to donate blood. Even healthy people have the right not to donate blood, and they cannot force others to donate blood. Of course, I hope that healthy adults will donate blood to the 'blood bank' if they are voluntary, which will be beneficial to the development of Hong Kong's medical industry. β
"Miss Xia Meng, what do you have to say?" The journalist asked.
Xia dreamed for a moment and smiled: "Everyone doesn't want to have enough plasma in the hospital when they need blood transfusions when they are hospitalized, or when their family and friends need blood transfusions, I hope that every healthy Hong Kong adult voluntarily donates blood." All for one, one for all, the world will be a better place! β
"Miss Xia Meng, what you said is so good. All for one, one for all, I remember. β
"I didn't say this sentence first, there is one in the great writer Alexandre Dumas's "The Three Musketeers".
forall,allforoneγ β
"Miss Xia Meng, you are really knowledgeable."
"It was my husband who told me that I hadn't seen the English version of The Three Musketeers."
"Mr. Lee's knowledge is well recognized." The reporter laughed.
"Mr. Reporter, don't slap my ass, even if you don't slap me." Li Hualong quipped, "That's all for the question, and don't take pictures anymore." β
"Thank you, Mr. Li and Miss Xia Meng." The reporter still had a happy smile on his face, and he knew that today's interview would definitely be taken seriously by the newspaper, and maybe it could become the headline news of tomorrow.
As the reporter predicted, Ta Kung Pao really made headlines on the front page of Li Hualong and Yang Meng donating blood together.
For a time, many Hong Kong citizens knew about unpaid blood donation, and some people were affected and participated in unpaid blood donation.
The management of the "blood bank" contacted Li Hualong and Xia Meng and invited them to serve as image ambassadors.
Li Hualong and Xia Meng did not refuse, they felt that it was a good thing to serve as the image ambassador of unpaid blood donation, although it could not make money, but it could increase the social attention of unpaid blood donation, and at the same time, their demonstration effect could attract more people to participate in unpaid blood donation.
After agreeing to the invitation of the "blood bank" management, Li Hualong and Xia Meng took some photos.
Within a few days, the health images of Li Hualong and Xia Meng were used in blood donation brochures and blood donation posters.
A few days later, Governor Alexander Graham, who donated blood at Queen Mary Hospital, spoke highly of the contributions of the young people Li Hualong and Xia Meng to the blood donation work.

On May 28, "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu" started filming on the set of Clear Water Bay, with Song Songhai and Yang Meng, two popular movie stars in Hong Kong, as the male and female leads, Song Songhai as Fang Shiyu, and Yang Meng as Lei Tingting, the daughter of the bully Lei Laohu.
Today, Song Songhai is the most popular movie star in Southeast Asia, although he signed a "deed of sale" with Huayi Brothers Film Group, but Li Hualong did not think about blindly exploiting him, and took the initiative to increase Song Songhai's monthly salary to 2,000 yuan.
Song Songhai took over the filming of the movie "Kung Fu Emperor Fang Shiyu", with a salary of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars, becoming the highest-paid movie star in Hong Kong.
Song Songhai made a movie for himself, and he was able to get more than 30,000 yuan (plus a fixed monthly salary), he was already very content and satisfied, and he was very grateful to Li Hualong for this Bole.
As early as during the release of "Huang Feihong's Righteousness Bo Yuntian", Li Hualong bought a villa of more than 200 square meters and provided it to Song Songhai for free.
After Song Songhai and his family moved into their new home, they felt that they had entered heaven with one foot in the tower, and before that, they lived in a simple wooden house.
Although Yang Meng is Li Hualong's wife, in terms of salary, Li Hualong did not treat Yang Meng badly, and now, Yang Meng takes over a movie, and the salary is 15,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is the highest salary among Hong Kong actresses.
Li Hualong has long discovered that in this era, the biggest investment in making movies in Hong Kong is film investment, and the remuneration of actors and directors accounts for a very low proportion of the cost of the whole film.
The situation is different in Hollywood, the cost of a movie is converted into millions of Hong Kong dollars, and the cost of blockbusters is even higher, which can exceed 10 million Hong Kong dollars, even if a lot of film is wasted when filming, the cost of film cannot exceed the actor's salary.
Four days later, on June 1, "Spring Dawn in Xiaolou" landed in major cinemas in Hong Kong and was released.
Among the actors of "Xiaolou Spring Dawn", the most famous is Lettie, before that, she starred in the two movies "Golden Lotus" and "Spring Flowers and Autumn Moon", the success of these two movies made her a first-line actor.
Of course, compared with Xia Meng, Letty's fame and box office appeal are much lower.
The two films "Xiaolou Chunxiao" and "Peerless Beauty" are almost completed in post-production, and the latter will be released a month later, and the reason for this situation is that Li Hualong attaches importance to the latter and feels that the latter will be released in the summer vacation and can reap a high box office.
Huayi Brothers Film Group invested 160,000 Hong Kong dollars in filming and promoting the film, and the box office exceeded 600,000 Hong Kong dollars within a month of release.
On July 1, in order to make way for the release of "Peerless Beauty", "Xiaolou Chunxiao" went offline in most theaters, and more theaters joined in the screening of "Peerless Beauty".
Obviously, compared with "Xiaolou Chunxiao", the number of theaters showing "Peerless Beauty" is more.
With an investment of up to 670,000 Hong Kong dollars, "Peerless Beauty" did not live up to the expectations of Li Hualong and others, and after the release of the film, the box office revenue hit all the way, and it also won a good reputation.
Zha Liangyong provided "Peerless Beauty" to Huayi Brothers Film Group under the pen name "Lin Huan", and as soon as the movie was released, the bosses of many film companies in Hong Kong began to pay attention to the person "Lin Huan".
The Hong Kong film industry is not big, and it is easy for other film companies to understand that Lin Huan is Zha Liangyong through the employees of Huayi Brothers Film Group, and it is not difficult to contact Zha Liangyong with some effort.
A number of film companies took the initiative to contact Zha Liangyong and threw an olive branch to him, hoping to get Zha Liangyong's script, although the sincerity was real, but it was politely rejected by Zha Liangyong.
Zha Liangyong likes the working atmosphere of "Ming Pao" very much, he has no intention of leaving this newspaper for the time being, and the movie script he wrote in his spare time, he chose to hand it over to Huayi Brothers Film Group first, after all, when he wrote the movie script for the first time, he was valued by Li Hualong.
At the beginning, after Li Hualong read the script of "Peerless Beauty", he immediately discussed with Zha Liangyong about buying the script, and he was generous and directly offered 8,000 Hong Kong dollars. In Hong Kong, there are only a handful of screenplays that sell for HK$8,000, and Cha Liangyong happily accepted the price.
In addition, Li Hualong and Zha Liangyong said that if Zha Liangyong writes a script, even if it is not adopted, he can get a remuneration of 3,000 yuan, and if it is adopted, the price will definitely be higher, and the specific amount needs to be discussed by both parties.
Zha Liangyong can feel Li Hualong's appreciation for him, although Li Hualong is younger, he respects Li Hualong very much and feels that Li Hualong has the grace of knowing him.
