Chapter 584: Big Box Office Hit
Hearing Ruan Mei talk about He Yuzhu and Tan Cai, Li Changheng couldn't help but think of the shocked expressions on the faces of Mai Lihao and those in the Legal Department when they were eating boiled cabbage.
Probably because they live and work on Hong Kong Island, the 9 invited Englishmen know what boiled water and cabbage refer to.
So when they heard the name of this dish, they obviously had an expression of disgust. They didn't understand why Li Changheng, a hereditary viscount, invited them to eat boiled cabbage.
But after they tasted it, 3 of the 9 ghosts who were guests exclaimed in disbelief, and the others couldn't talk after taking a sip.
After several sips, he went along with the three colleagues who made a fuss.
As for the bird's nest in clear soup, these ghosts are all high-level people. After Ma Lihao came, they dare not continue to accept filial piety blatantly.
But they have already eaten their brains and intestines before, and bird's nest is really not a rare thing for them.
However, when I heard that the soup was made of chicken, duck, elbow, scallops, ham, etc., which were boiled for several days, I suddenly felt that it was too wasteful for Chinese people to eat.
Just for a soup with the ultimate taste, the ingredients that can be made into a table dish are wasted.
Even the hereditary nobles and royal families dare not be so extravagant.
But the mouth said it was a waste, but the mouth and the spoon didn't stop for a moment.
After the two soups, braised shark's fin, abalone in oyster sauce, abalone in oyster sauce, arhat prawns, sunflower duck, and finally served with white fungus stew and almond tea, the group of people ate it delicious.
Immediately, I felt that when I held a banquet in the future, if there were such delicate and delicious dishes, it would definitely surprise my fellow Englanders.
After hearing Li Changheng said that he would open a private restaurant in a short time, everyone made a reservation for Yizhuo without thinking about it, planning to bring their family and children to try it.
"I fancy a 240-square-meter store on Queen's Road. When the decoration is completed, let Master He, his apprentice and the back kitchen team come over there to specialize in cooking Tan dishes. How about it?"
Of course, Ruan Mei would not disagree, "My restaurant is a tea restaurant and food stall with a better environment and more hygiene.
It really makes Master He's team stay there all the time, not only ordinary people can't afford it, but the original kitchen team might think too much about looking for a job in secret. "
"Then from now on, you will mainly be in charge of Tanjiacai's side, and someone else will be responsible for the daily operation of the restaurant."
After Li Changheng finished speaking, he thought for a while and continued, "It's okay for Ayu and Zhaodi to protect you personally in recent years.
But they will definitely marry and have children in the end, so just spend a few years to see if they are worthy of trust.
Then cultivate it into your team.
Otherwise, with so many things on your hands, not only will you be too busy, but also you can't leave everything to the lawyer team and the English people, understand? "
"En", Ruan Mei replied softly, knowing about her man and making plans for the future.
After all, Li Changheng said long ago that the assets of Hong Kong Island will only be left to their children in the future.
As for those outside of Hong Kong Island, forget about Ruan Mei and her children.
Of course, children still have the ability to earn it by themselves, and it must be their own.
Knowing that she doesn't have to worry about the future, Ruan Mei hugged Li Changheng's arm, leaned her head on his shoulder and said with a smile, "When we have a child, the boy will let him learn from your father.
In addition to going to school, my daughter learns to cook and make cakes from me. When she gets married, at least her parents-in-law and husband will be satisfied. "
"What are you thinking?" Li Changheng stretched out his hand and scratched Ruan Mei's waist a few times, then rolled his eyes at Ruan Mei's uneasy and smiling eyes.
"Does my daughter still need to rely on cooking to tie the hearts of her husband and in-laws?"
Hearing what Li Changheng said, Ruan Mei patted him on the chest in dissatisfaction, "No matter how talented a girl is, it's not her husband who ends up living with her.
If you raise her with a whole body of problems, our daughter will not be the one who suffers in the end. "
After finishing speaking, when Ruan Mei thought of herself, she seemed to be favored by Li Changheng much better than the daughter-in-law and wife in Hong Kong Island these days.
While feeling happy and happy in his heart, he gave Li Changheng an angry look, "No, I will take care of the children myself from now on.
Otherwise, relying on your unreliable father to take care of them, everyone will definitely become playboys. "
Li Changheng immediately smiled and said nothing. In his heart, his daughter said it was okay, but his son's life would definitely not be so easy.
Fast forward to April 5th, and Havoc in Heaven has been played in 7 theaters for 10 days.
After listening to the theater manager's report, Li Changheng, who put down the microphone, happily thought about the box office breaking one million in 9 days, and people from the New Territories and Kowloon would go to Hong Kong Island to see the performance of the Uprising in Heaven.
This cartoon will be released for one month, and the box office will definitely exceed 3 million Hong Kong dollars.
If the long-term screening is scheduled for more than 3 months, 40,000 to 5 million is not impossible.
It is not known whether the box office record will be broken by then, but the top 3 should be no problem.
However, Li Changheng was not happy for one day, and not only discordant voices appeared in the newspapers the next day.
What makes him dissatisfied and worried is that someone bought him for 150,000 US dollars, and the global copyright outside the mainland has been revealed.
Needless to say, it must have been revealed by the mainland, or Hong Kong Island filmmakers who have a good relationship with the mainland.
Even, it is very likely that these filmmakers have the idea of other mainland cartoons.
While building momentum to say that the capitalists are black, at the same time, they contacted mainland film studios and introduced other cartoons to Hong Kong Island, the Gulf of Bay and Southeast Asia.
After all, the box office of 3 million is 570,000 US dollars, which is not worth mentioning to him, but it is a huge sum of money to ordinary people.
Moreover, among film practitioners these days, even big stars don't have much money.
Even having a house of 100 square meters is considered a success.
For the long-term perspective, not only did Li Changheng not agree to send the film to the United States for release immediately.
Instead, I want to take it to London first, and test the waters in a small-scale screening in all four theaters of my own, to see how Europeans and Americans react to this movie and ideology after it is released.
If the English people will also be resisted by a monkey, causing a movie-watching frenzy, the big deal is to let go of copyright and cooperate with capitalists.
If everyone earns money together, the pressure will be much less.
Of course, with his network, it is not impossible to monopolize the box office.
But being targeted by the media of various countries for a few million dollars, it is really unnecessary for a person like him who earns hundreds of millions of dollars a year.
And once London's box office is also good, it will be like a slap in the face of those banana people on Hong Kong Island.
