In Li Mingbao's busy schedule, the Spring Festival of August 1 also passed in a hurry. Since Li Mingbao felt that if he wanted to make a lot of money, he had to make money from Hollywood, Li Mingbao felt that the money saved by the family before was actually not so precious, and it should still be used, especially the money earned from the barbecue stall, which should be used to subsidize the family.

So during the Spring Festival, Li Mingbao told the people in his family about this idea, and asked the eldest brother to use the money to see it, whether it was to expand the operation of Li Ji Tea Restaurant, or to expand the barbecue stall, and use it. Most importantly, buy a house.

Although Li Mingbao clearly knew that Hong Kong's housing prices would fall in a year's time, it would be better to buy a house at that time. But now the house inside the house is already crowded. Although he and his second brother have moved out, the others are still in the old house, and it is quite difficult to live.

Now it's not that there is no money in the family, so there is no need to be so frugal at all. In addition, even if the housing prices in Hong Kong have not fallen, they are not too outrageous, spending a million to buy a small villa, even if it falls by then, it will only lose two or three hundred thousand at most, but the loss of this small amount of money is not so important to the current Li family, compared to the reality of housing, the loss of money will not be too distressing at all. In addition, it doesn't cost much money to buy a car and so on.

With Li Mingbao's words, the rest of the family naturally agreed. Especially the eldest brother and his wife, they used to live in a tea restaurant, and although they had money later, the conditions of the house they rented outside were not very good. Since Li Mingbao said that there would be no problem in buying a house, of course they welcomed it.

In March of '81, the problem in the family has been completely solved, for convenience, Li Mingbao and their family directly bought a three-story villa near Causeway Bay, more than 400 square meters, completely enough for a family to live, just such a villa, the Li family only spent less than 1.5 million to get it, plus things like buying a car, and finally spent on life, in fact, it was only 2 million.

If such a large sum of money had been spent before, the people in the family would have been more or less distressed. But now, even the thrifty father in the family doesn't feel anything. Because in the past two years, the family has indeed been much richer. Not counting Li Mingbao's own tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, the Li family alone has earned more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars in the past two years by relying on the barbecue stall.

In the past, all this money was put in the bank, but now even if the money is spent, there are still more than 3 million Hong Kong dollars in the bank, even if there is an accident, it will not be short of money. Besides, there is really going to be an accident, Li Mingbao has almost 100 million Hong Kong dollars there, and under such a sum of money, no accident is an accident.

Li Mingbao now has so much money in his hands, which is actually not surprising at all, because by this time, the Hong Kong box office of "Baby Zhiduoxing" has been counted. As early as the end of February, theaters all over Hong Kong that screened "Baby Smart Stars" painted the movie.

And in the end, the film "Baby Zhi Duo Xing" did not disappoint anyone, it was released for nearly three months, even if it was later affected by "The Best Partner: The Bald Detective", so that some of the box office income in the back was not so good-looking, but on the whole, the movie "Baby Zhi Duo Xing" was definitely a success, even the opponent Xin Yicheng, including Boss Lei behind the scenes, kept silent about this movie. Even Shi Tian, who was quite unhappy with Li Mingbao, said sourly in the newspaper that Li Mingbao couldn't be so lucky every time.

The release time of almost three months made the movie "Baby Zhiduoxing" simply swept at the box office, and other movies released during this period, especially the films released when "Baby Zhiduoxing" was in the limelight, no matter what type it was, there was nothing good to end to, and there were no two with a box office of more than one million.

Under the heavy losses of others, "Baby Zhiduoxing" is naturally full of food and drink, and the record of 40 million box office has made Hong Kong people lose their voices again. Even the same newspaper that had predicted that the film would reach such heights at the box office was reluctant to believe such a fact when the results came in. At the beginning, they made such an evaluation, not that they were really so optimistic about this movie, but purely to attract attention.

When it attracts attention, it more or less means to roast this movie on the fire. After all, a movie has a box office of more than 40 million this year, for anyone, it is a nonsense thing, they say this, when the box office comes out, if it does not meet such a standard, then they can turn around and say that the film did not meet people's expectations and wasted everyone's mood. But in the end, they didn't get the script to book, because such nonsense has now become a fact, and their newspaper is the prophet emperor, and the complexity of the mood is really difficult to describe in words.

"Baby Wisdom Multi-Star" not only broke the Hong Kong box office record, but also gained a lot in the overseas market. Because the movie was very popular from the beginning, and the box office reached a height of 2 million, the Shaw Brothers naturally attached great importance to it, and when it was not screened in Hong Kong for a few days, the Shaw Brothers pushed the movie overseas.

Needless to say, the market in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, the Shaw Brothers' signboard is still very effective, and it is quite easy to release their movies. On the Japanese side, this time it gave Shaw Brothers a big surprise.

Maybe it's because "Happy Ghost" has been a great success in the Japanese market, and the craze hasn't subsided by Christmas, and now that Li Mingbao, the new producer, has come out again, the Japanese film companies are naturally very interested. Compared with the last time "Happy Ghost" entered the Japanese market, it still needs Shaw Brothers to work very hard to promote, but this time the release of "Baby Zhiduoxing" in Japan has become very simple, as simple as Lang's concubine.

The Japanese film company not only arranged a good time to release the movie, but also gave Shaw Brothers a lot of face in terms of sharing. The last time "Happy Ghost" arrived in Japan, the Japanese film companies gave a maximum of 20% of the box office share. But this time at the box office of "Baby Wisdom and Stars", the Japanese filmmakers directly mentioned a 30% box office share. Their film companies and theaters only won a total of 70% of the box office.

The reason why this has become like this is not that the Japanese film companies are really conscientious, but because the success of Li Mingbao's last film in Japan has not yet disappeared, and the new film has already come out. The film produced by Li Mingbao has passed the test of the market, coupled with the box office situation in Hong Kong, they also know something, if they don't give a high price to Shaw Brothers, the filmmaker who made a lot of money last time he took over "Happy Ghost" may not be able to make money this time, because other filmmakers are also eyeing the movies produced by Li Mingbao, and if he wants to make money, it depends on whether others agree or not.

In the case of multi-party competition, the box office share obtained by Shaw Brothers and Li Mingbao will be one-tenth higher than that of the previous movie. In addition, compared with the previous movie, this movie has a broader market prospect, and everyone will naturally make more money.

Everyone else has made money, Li Mingbao, the producer of the film plus investors, naturally has made a lot of money, the money he has now is divided into three parts, the manuscript fee plus the publication on the side of Ming Pao has brought Li Mingbao an income of almost 8 million Hong Kong dollars, of course, this is not all, but a part, because "Kunlun" is still serialized in Ming Pao, although the money in the newspaper is in Li Mingbao's hands, but the publishing side, it still needs to wait.

Of the eight million Hong Kong dollars, the largest contribution is, of course, "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", the manuscript fee plus the publication, there are more than 7 million, and the two books "Iron and Blood Tianjiao" and "Kunlun" add up to only a few hundred thousand, this money is basically all the manuscript fee of Ming Pao, not publication. Ming Pao's manuscript fee has always been cat food, more than him, less than him, to live on this, basically Ming Pao's contributors have to starve to death, except for Ni Kuang's high yield, but even if it is him, he will not be so nourishing as he is now.

Ming Pao didn't get much money, but it was a very important channel to improve Li Mingbao's image in the eyes of Hong Kong people. You must know that when Li Mingbao's previous conviction was exposed by Sing Tao Daily, Li Mingbao's image in Hong Kong was not very good, and a little gangster who loves to fight will not have a good image anywhere.

However, due to the fact that there is an article in Ming Pao and is strongly supported by Ming Pao, Li Mingbao's image has become both civil and military, and such a change in image is definitely not something that Li Mingbao can achieve by making two movies, it is completely because of his status as a literati that he will have such treatment.

Ming Pao's money is only a small head among Li Mingbao's three major incomes, the first big head is the box office income of "Happy Ghost", with the box office income of Japan into Li Mingbao's hands, Li Mingbao earned about 50 million just by relying on the box office of "Happy Ghost".

Don't look at this lot of money, but you must know that the total box office income of "Happy Ghost" is actually more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars. Li Mingbao's income of 50 million Hong Kong dollars is really not too much, this is because this movie was produced by him alone from beginning to end, including film investment, and so on, the preliminary work was completed by him independently, and Shaw Brothers was just a channel. If this movie is funded and filmed by Shaw Brothers, in the box office of more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, if Li Mingbao can get an income of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, it will already be regarded as Shaw Brothers' benevolence.

This is also the main reason why Huang Baiming did not get much money when the original version of "Happy Ghost" was released in later generations, and he relied on this movie to earn millions of Hong Kong dollars at most. Because that movie shooting is a joint work of New Arts City, it is the investment of Boss Lei and Mecca. In addition, the box office revenue at that time was not as much as Li Mingbao, and it did not enter the Japanese market, lacking a large box office.
