Hong Kong: Starting with 10 billion

Chapter 181: Master of Delivery
The box office in Hong Kong was dismal, and Big Nose Dragon felt very guilty about this.

Even though he knew that the North American box office exceeded $7200 million, DreamWorks told him that the company would not get much of the box office share.

If we add in the various expenses of three cars and dozens of people in the United States,

From this movie, Fang Da, the richest man, made almost no money.

If it was a movie shot in Hong Kong, even if it didn't make money, Big Nose Dragon wouldn't feel too guilty.

But DreamWorks invested in a Hollywood movie specifically for him, the Big Nose Dragon. To put it bluntly, it was purely to promote him.

Even though he only played a minor role in the film, and even though Michael Hui could share the blame, Big Nose Dragon still felt somewhat guilty.

When he arrived at the president's office and saw Liu Tianci, he forced a smile and greeted him:

"Mr. Liu, long time no see!"

"Haha, yes, it's been a long time since I last saw Brother Long. I've only seen you in the gossip pages of newspapers during this period."

Big Nose Dragon was a little embarrassed. He hadn't met Lin Fengjiao yet, so he was playing around a lot. He could only reply awkwardly:

"I was quite tired from filming in the US last year, so I came back to Hong Kong to have a good rest."

"Haha, I understand, I understand. Brother Long, please take a seat."

After saying that, Liu Tianci took out a script from the drawer of his desk and handed it to Big Nose Dragon.

"This is a new script written by our boss, tailor-made for you."

"Haha, I don't need to say much about how much the boss values ​​Brother Long."

"We have such a big film company, with directors, screenwriters, photographers, art directors, actors, etc. Who wouldn't envy you, Brother Long? Even Director Wang Jing, who is from the same hometown as the boss, is jealous."

"Haha, there's nothing to envy. Once they achieve results, I believe the company will still value them."

"Haha, that's right, what Brother Long said hit the nail on the head!"

"The name of this movie is 'Young Master Long', it's a Republican-era drama. If Brother Long has no problem with his schedule, we'll try to start filming next week."

"Okay, I've accepted this role, and we will definitely be able to shoot it next week!"

"However, I would like to say hello to Mr. Liu in advance."

"Oh? Please go ahead!"

"Director Chu Yen-ping of Sock Island contacted me some time ago and made an appointment with me to make a movie next year."

"Well, DreamWorks promised long before signing the contract with Brother Long that it would not interfere with your taking on other movies under normal circumstances. But you know, our company's movies have been banned by Waxing Island, and the products of many companies under our boss cannot enter Waxing Island."

"So, there's no point in you telling me about this. It's better to talk to Mr. Fang in person."

"Well, thank you Mr. Liu for your advice!"

······
Bignosaurus is very smart and he agrees with Liu Tianci's words.

Before going to meet Fang Hexuan, he made some small preparations.

I went to the Felix Sports flagship store on Sneaker Street specifically to buy all the latest colors of Air Force 1.

Then, he neatly placed all the sneakers in his house in the living room.

And, took more than a dozen photos of these shoes.

The next day, he visited the Global Building in Central wearing red and white AF1 and took the photo with him. In fact, Big Nose Dragon did this to please the audience.

Ever since the largest sporting goods store emerged on Sneaker Street, Air Force One sports shoes have become popular in Hong Kong.

In addition to the beautiful design, excellent quality and high technology, there are also many celebrities helping to promote the product.

Even Fang Hexuan, the richest man in Hong Kong, personally endorses his own products, so it's hard not to be popular.

Of course, Princess Fang Luoyi also took responsibility. Before going to the United States, she had several suitcases filled with AF1.

Fang Hexuan even asked Felix Sports to mail new products to his sister in the United States.

No matter how much value Fang Luoyi has in bringing goods to America, the biggest goal is to make her develop a sense of responsibility for the family business in advance.

TVB artists, Shaw Brothers actors, and DreamWorks stars have all received orders that as long as Fang Hexuan mentions their names, they must cooperate with Air Force One and Felix Sports in advertising promotions.

Of course, different fees will be given based on the celebrity’s net worth.

At present, Felix Sports has not yet determined its real spokesperson, and its own boss certainly does not count.

Besides Sam Hui, the second person Fang Hexuan has in mind is naturally Big Nose Dragon.

Anyone who is interested can just take a walk around Wutai Mountain on Broadcasting Road and will be surprised to find that many actors, including TV station staff, choose to wear AF1 as their daily shoes for commuting to and from get off work.

Because Air Force One comes in a variety of colors and has different logo designs, both men and women can choose the ones they like.

The most important thing is that although this pair of sports shoes is not particularly light, the sole is elastic and provides excellent protection for the soles of the feet, which makes many people find it quite novel.

In addition to celebrities helping to promote the product, Felix Sports has also collaborated with a number of fashion media to launch trendy ways of matching AF1 with various fashions, which have been highly sought after by many Hong Kong fashion trendsetters.

There was also a fashion magazine that had the honor of working with the richest man, and they were so happy that they wanted to print Fang Hexuan's photos on all the pages of that issue.

Fang Hexuan is considered a natural model and clothes rack by many Hong Kong fashion media because of his tall height, long legs, handsome appearance and the fact that he maintains a fit body through regular exercise.

But unfortunately, he is too rich, and it is impossible for him to be so poor that he has to become a male model in this life, so the most people can do is just YY.

But now, a magazine has let the richest man be a model. How can this not make other fashion media jealous?

Fang Hexuan has his own hairstylist and costumer, both of whom are familiar with the richest man's tastes and habits.

He wore Air Force Ones of different colors, paired with different outfits and different hairstyles, showing off his ever-changing styles.

Different from the current fashion trends, many of his styles are inspired by later generations' creativity, so they are unique.

In one of the looks, Fang Hexuan has a flower boy hairstyle, wears a gray striped suit, has two buttons of his shirt collar undone, and his burgundy tie is loosened a little. He wears a perforated cowhide wide belt with a vintage feel around his waist, and the laces of his Air Force One shoes are deliberately untied and scattered on the ground.

The overall shape makes people feel both business and sporty, wild, bohemian and full of vitality.

Combined with his warm and defiant smile, he is particularly fascinating to women.

For this one look alone, the photographer used two rolls of film, because he knew very well that this picture would be a hit.

Compared with the current formal attire of most men, Fang Hexuan's unconventional yet handsome way of dressing is indeed very different.

In fact, the real Hong Kong style did not take shape until the late 80s, especially after the "Four Heavenly Kings".
