The acting skills of the actors in the movie "Shaolin Soccer" are not as good as in their previous lives. Fortunately, the script of the movie is very exciting. With the advantages of special effects, Hong Kong people have never seen such a wonderful movie. It hit five movies in one week after it was released.
A box office of one million Hong Kong dollars, five million Hong Kong dollars is less than one million U.S. dollars. If this box office were in the United States, we would directly invest in it.
It's popular, but it's big news in Hong Kong Island. The previous record was also set by Zhou Xingxing, who was the gambling king in 1990. This movie box office was 3 million Hong Kong dollars in the first week, and the total box office was 50 million.
The box office of Shaolin Football in the first week is close to twice that of Gambling Saint, so the total box office will definitely exceed 50 million, and may even exceed 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
100 million Hong Kong dollars is only the local box office. Because of Liu Lang's participation, this movie has begun to be introduced to the mainland. Once it is released in the mainland, it is hard to say how the box office will go. It may exceed 200 million and it will be fine.
Shengtang Company did not pay for this movie, but Liu Lang drew a large number of shots and sent Industrial Light and Magic out to do post-production for it. The tour guide of the movie was the fat man Hu Jing, who is a well-known director in Hong Kong Island.
, is especially proficient in nonsensical plots. In addition, he is also a director who has discovered Zhou Xingxing. There is no problem in the cooperation between the two.
The total investment in the film was 10 million Hong Kong dollars, of which 7 million was contributed by Mr. Shao, and the other 3 million was contributed by Hua Han. Hua Han's participation was Liu Lang's request. This guy always wanted to have a relationship with Liu Lang, and Liu Lang
Lang gave him a chance. Mr. Shao would have ignored him if Liu Lang hadn't negotiated with him in the middle.
The movie broke box office records in its first week. Mr. Shao immediately called Liu Lang and thanked him profusely. In Mr. Shao's eyes, the money was actually given to him by Liu Lang.
It's very simple. Shengtang Company itself has the ability to shoot. The cost of 10 million Hong Kong dollars can be considered a big investment in Hong Kong Island, but in the eyes of Shengtang, it is nothing! More than one million US dollars is just change. Now it's better.
You can earn it back in a month, and it’s just around the corner to break through 100 million. You could do it yourself but give it to Mr. Shao. Isn’t this a free gift?
Of course, 100 million Hong Kong dollars is nothing to Liu Lang and Shengtang, just over 10 million US dollars, but it is already a lot to the Shaw Group. The Huo family is now the richest man in Hong Kong Island, and only 10 million Hong Kong dollars are announced to the public.
It’s only 100 million U.S. dollars, half of it is from Hong Kong investment banks, and the other half is real estate investment. And the Li family, who should be the richest man, has 90% of its property in real estate, and he only has 700 million U.S. dollars.
Although Shaw Group Industries also has some real estate investments, most of them are in the media industry, so his wealth is not much, just over 300 million U.S. dollars. One movie can earn more than 10 million U.S. dollars, which is not even
Counting the box office in the Mainland, it's not too small if you think about it. An investment of less than one million US dollars is worth more than 10 million US dollars in return. The return rate is likely to be ten times. Can Mr. Shao be unhappy?
This once again proves the axiom that Shengtang's films must be high-quality. Of course, Liu Lang's movie is for Mr. Shao and Hua Han to make money. Industrial Light and Magic can help. The special effects of the whole movie are very simple, at least for Industrial Light and Magic.
They said it was nothing complicated, and the final charge was not high, so it was considered a friendly price.
Mr. Shao wanted to invite Liu Lang to Hong Kong Island as a guest, but at that time Bai Weiren was coming to Fucheng, so Liu Lang couldn't go to Hong Kong Island. Mr. Shao also said that he would come to Fucheng in person, but Liu Lang stopped him.
You are over 80 years old, so please don’t wander around.
In short, Mr. Shao feels that he owes Liu Lang a huge favor this time. It may not mean anything to Liu Lang, but Mr. Shao feels that he should thank him properly. As for how to thank him? There is really no good way. Money
There are more Liu Lang than him.
As for Shun Liu Lang's hobbies, I really haven't seen it. Liu Lang stays in China whenever she has nothing to do. No one knows what she is doing. Only the Huo family in Hong Kong knows what Liu Lang does. For example, it was recently published in the newspaper
Huo Tianting knew that Liu Lang made the "Exploration One".
He had been to the North Industries Group. When he went there for the first time, he found that the factory was more modern than the factories on Hong Kong Island. At that time, Huo Tiantinghei was frightened. He had not known that he and Liu Lang had been dating for so many years.
Liu Lang had such a factory in Fucheng, and Liu Lang even worked on it himself.
Ping was taller than anyone else. It was then that he realized that Liu Lang was a person who had hidden his true "identity". No wonder he stayed in China for nearly ten months a year, completely ignoring other investments. His main business was
Engaging in machinery, entertainment companies and banking industries are purely "amateur" hobbies.
Of course, Huo Tianting knows how important industry is to a country. It is far more important than entertainment and banks. It is precisely because Liu Lang's thoughts are on industry that the country attaches so much importance to him. If he just has a lot of money, then
His status in the country is almost the same as that of the Huo family, although Mr. Huo always
Every time I come to the mainland, I will be received by high-level officials, but it is only a courtesy interview. Of course, I am very respectful, but this kind of respect is similar to that of a guest. The Huo family must also be careful when doing things in the country, so as not to offend the truly powerful people.
People at the ministerial level will ask them to be careful.
But Liu Lang was different. The minister was cautious when meeting him. Huo Tianting used to feel a little strange, thinking that there was a higher-level figure behind Liu Lang, and he wouldn't tell anyone when he asked. Now he finally knows the reason.
, that is, Liu Lang has strategic significance to the country, and it is this significance that makes him appear so "different".
Especially now that domestic media have reported extensively on Norinco, Wang Zhendong has become a hero, while Liu Lang's name has not appeared in the newspapers at all, which once again proves Liu Lang's strategic significance.
What is low-key? You have made such great achievements and don’t let outsiders know about it. This is true low-key.
The Huo family is now completely convinced. This kid has truly become as rich as the country, not only in terms of money, but also in terms of his contribution to the country. At the same time, the Huo family also feels honored. Not many people can share this secret.
Individuals, of course, must keep this secret in their hearts, at least not let it out through their mouths.
Huo Tianting personally made tea for Liu Lang. Liu Lang took it, took a sip, put it down, and then pointed to a painting on the wall.
"Brother Huo, this painting is good!"
This painting is a work by Zhang Daqian. It is a landscape painting that is majestic and artistic.
"Do you like it? I'll give it to you!"
Huo Tianting was about to take off the painting and give it to Liu Lang.
"No, no, I don't want it!"
Liu Lang waved his hands repeatedly.
"This is a work by a modern painter, and I'm not very interested in it."
"Are you not interested in modern writers? That's easy to handle. I still have a lot of antiques. Take a look at this one, the landscape painting of Qiu Feng, a painter from the Ming Dynasty, this one, the Xuande furnace, and this one, the calligraphy of Liu Tongxun from the Qing Dynasty. Take whichever one you like.
Don't be polite to me!"
Huo Tianting wished he could give all these paintings, calligraphy and antiques to him.
"Haha, a gentleman doesn't take what others like. I don't want these. By the way, Brother Huo, you should have bought these from the market. Where did they sell them? What's the price?"
"I bought these from the Hong Kong antique market a few years ago. The price is not too expensive. This Xuande stove is the best, but it only costs more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars. The others are not as good, around 30,000 to 40,000 Hong Kong dollars.
!”
"Fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars? Haha, that's quite cheap!"
This Xuande furnace will be worth at least several million yuan in more than 20 years' time, and Zhang Daqian's paintings will also cost several million yuan at that time. Anyway, all the antique calligraphy and paintings in this office will add up to 20 years later.
It's over ten million, but it's really not worth much now, at least not in Liu Lang's opinion.
