Rebirth

"BOSS, here is the famous Hughes Laboratory. It grew up with the aircraft company. I have to thank Mr. Howard Hughes. I have to say that he is a legend. The laboratory he founded has now become a national One of the most important laboratories.

Especially in the field of laser research has always been at the top of the world. We have research links with hundreds of universities across the United States. We have a good foundation in all aspects including electronics, optics, communications, systems, etc., and we have a great reputation."

Two days later, at the foot of Malibu Mountain in California, Li Feng and his entourage arrived at the Hughes Laboratory. At this time, under the leadership of the director of the research office, Dr. Smith, Li Feng and his entourage began to visit and introduced Li Feng to the relevant laboratory. Related information.

"Mr. Howard Hughes is indeed a legend. What a pity, I wish I could meet each other." Listening to the introduction of the person in charge of the Institute, especially when introducing the founder of this laboratory-Howard Hughes, Lee Feng couldn't help sighing.

"John, if you can meet this Mr. Hughes, you must be able to talk very well." Kenny interrupted.

"Don't you know that our American legendary hero also has a name called'the world's greatest pervert who specializes in Hollywood actresses'." Seeing the puzzled expressions of Li Feng and others, Kenny immediately laughed.

"Oh, haha..." After listening to Kenny's teasing, thinking of Mr. Hughes's life evaluation and various Hollywood rumors of Li Feng, everyone suddenly burst into laughter.

Seeing everyone's laughter, Li Feng immediately smiled and replied: "What's wrong, Mr. Hughes is really my idol."

Listening to Li Feng's words, everyone laughed again.

...

In the United States, the name Howard Hughes can be mentioned like the names of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt and other figures, almost reaching the point where no one knows it. It is a famous legend in the history of the United States.

His legendary life is admired by the American people. Most Americans regard Howard Hughes as the legendary hero of the American Emperor. Marvel's father Stan Lee has personally said that Iron Man was based on him.

Take a look at the introduction of Stark, the company where Iron Man is located in Marvel. Howard Stark created the Stark company. This is a rich man, arms dealer, and super genius. Naturally, the future Iron Man will be like this. Characters, plus a playboy image.

However, in the hearts of American emperors, Howard Hughes is such a person, a rich man, an arms dealer, a super genius, and a super playboy.Li Feng, a guy who has lived in the US for more than 10 years, has naturally heard the name Howard Hughes.

With the popularity of the later Marvel universe in the world, the prototypes of Iron Man were hotly fired, such as Musk, Eric, etc., but you should know that when Stan Lee created Iron Man, everyone later It's not beautiful yet, not even born yet.

Therefore, the debate about the prototype of Iron Man does not need to be debated at all. Howard Hughes is the prototype of Iron Man. Compared to Howard Hughes, later Elon Musk really felt too LOW.

Similarly, Li Feng also has a general understanding of Howard Hughes's legendary life. He deserves to be a figure that can be remembered by almost everyone in the United States. Such a figure is destined to be famous in history.

...

This superb character, known as the “best rich second generation”, has many titles, such as entrepreneur, aviator, aerospace engineer, film producer, director, actor, and the first US $1 billion Level of super rich, the most awesome playboy, Iron Man prototype and so on.

Yes, this ox character is a rich second generation. Although it is not the super rich second generation like Morgan and Rockefeller, he inherited nearly a million fortunes in the 1920s. The American emperor is also considered to be the richest class.

This person is over 1.9 meters tall, has a handsome appearance, and is a rich man. It can be said that the term'high, rich and handsome' is simply tailored for Hughes.

Hughes became an orphan at the age of 18. Those relatives thought you would go to school first, and then come to inherit the family business after graduation.But this rich second generation is not willing to drop out of school and inherit the family business, and purchase the shares of the remaining shareholders of the company through bank loans, hire new managers to help manage and help make money, but he is ready to realize his own life The dream is gone.

I have to say, there is a saying, rich is human nature, it may be said that a character like Hughes set three goals for himself when he became an adult at the age of 18.

One became the best golfer in the world, the second became the most famous film producer, and the third became the best pilot.

It can be said that this rich second generation is definitely a dreamer of life.

...

It is said that Hughes’ golfing level has definitely reached the professional level. Of course, he only barely stepped into the professional level. Therefore, when he entered the professional golf circle with great interest, he suffered a series of blows. After being crushed, I couldn't endure all kinds of cynicism, and I quit professional golf. My first dream was hit by a headache at first and was shattered.

No, the first dream cannot be realized, so start to realize the second dream, which is to be the most famous film producer in Hollywood, just like the rich and powerful people in later generations, rich and easy to do things. This rich second-generation is the same, young and handsome, he plunged into Hollywood.

The first film was made with an independent investment of US$80,000. Don’t think that US$80,000 is less. You have to know that it was in the 1920s. If you calculate it according to the exchange rate, inflation, etc., it is at least in this era. 2, 30 million dollars.

As a result, after the filming of the film, when Hughes took the film to show to his uncle Hollywood screenwriter, he was ridiculed by his uncle, saying that if such a film could be released in Hollywood, it would become a laughing stock of Hollywood.

The face-saving Hughes did not hesitate and burned the pieces with a fire. In this way, the original 80,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to the current 20 30 million US dollars, is really "burned out". The real'burning money'.

But for Hughes, who is a rich second-generation oil drilling company who operates and makes money while lying down every day, 80,000 dollars is a trivial matter. In order to become the "most famous producer" dream, spending a few dollars is nothing.

Next, perhaps it was really luck. Hughes met the talented director Lewis Milestone. As a result, he shot three films in succession, each of which was a big seller, and even became the best director Oscar. Hughes has a firm foothold in Hollywood.

...

But what really made his reputation flourish was his next series of actions.

On the occasion of the 21st birthday, the rich second-generation who began to become famous in the United States expanded. He felt that making movies was the same, and even proposed an epoch-making film production plan, which is a real super production.

So how big is the big production in Hughes's eyes? In the era without special effects, the shooting effects were all made for nothing.

For example, in order to shoot a battle scene, thousands of extras were directly recruited, and one scene cost 300,000 US dollars, which was a normal movie budget at the time.

Since it is an air combat movie with pilots as the main line, there must be airplanes. For this reason, 87 airplanes were obtained before filming, and an airfield was built at a cost of 400,000 U.S. dollars to house the airplanes.

Perhaps I am used to watching air combat movies of later generations. Dozens of aircraft have no concept, but now they are all made of special effects. What was the concept of 87 aircraft at that time.

To give a simple example, after the 1.28 Incident in China 4 years later, the Nationalist government overturned the cabinet and gathered the power of the whole country. It gathered 25 planes and fought a battle with Japan in the magic capital. The total number of planes he made in this movie can be armed. Most of the Asian air force.

In addition to these not counting, in order to shoot real effects, Hughes asked the pilots to make various dangerous flight movements. As a result, three pilots were killed. Hughes himself was also thrown into a brain oscillation, broken ribs, and suffered. Serious injuries and so on.

...

At the time, the filming was still in the silent film era. As a result, during the end of the filming, the sound film began. Hughes disliked the awful voice of the previous film actress, so he directly fired the main character and found a sweet, young and beautiful 19-year-old girl. The protagonist, Jane Haru, remakes a sound film, and finally made the heroine a hit.

Naturally, this Jane Harold became one of Hughes' many Hollywood star lovers.

The whole movie tossed back and forth for more than 3 years, using more than 1,000 kilometers of film, and in the end it was less than 1% practical. The movie was finally going to be released. Hughes spent 4 million dollars before and after it was rumored in Hollywood. If the movie hits the street, Hughes will go bankrupt.

What was the concept of the 4 million US dollars at the time? Think about the fact that Hughes' oil drilling company was super profitable and went bankrupt as a result.

The 4 million at that time is roughly equivalent to the current 1.2 billion, spending 1.2 billion US dollars to shoot a movie. Have you ever seen such a lunatic?The 200 million dollar ship of the card god, and even the future so-called 500 to 600 million dollar Avatar, is really weak compared to one.

When the movie was released, everyone didn’t like Hughes, thinking that Hughes was going to lose to his grandmother’s house. At that time, it was during the economic crisis and the Great Depression. After the movie was released, it became a sensation in the United States. Everyone was shaking the big scene of the movie. Lao Mei has always liked the so-called'big scene, big production'.

As a result, the box office exceeded 8 million, and Hughes made a fortune. Just as everyone in the US was looking forward to his next movie, Hughes disappeared from everyone's eyes.
