    As for dividends, there is actually nothing wrong if we wait until the box office of "Baby Wisdom" is released before paying dividends.  But it will take at least a month or two to wait until the movie is released. The Spring Festival has passed, and the joyful atmosphere will no longer be there.  In view of this situation, it happened that the manuscript in hand was finished and the new book had not yet been written. After Li Mingbao sent the manuscript to Mingpao by fax, he found his second brother and went to the Shaw Brothers studio.  Li Mingbao¡¯s second brother, Li Minghui, is very busy on the Shaw Brothers studio. He is so busy that he has to rush to that crew as soon as this crew has finished.  As a person with strong compatibility in terms of directing talent, the second brother's life on the set was not so easy when he didn't shine. If it weren't for Wang Tianlin, I don't know how long he would have been silent.  But since becoming the director of "Happy Ghost", Li Minghui's status in the Shaw Brothers studio has increased, and now he can produce independently. Although at this time, TVB has made more films with Li Minghui as the director.  It is a TV series, not a movie, but the second brother can also complete it very well. In recent times, many TV series produced by TVB have the words "produced by Li Minghui".  Although the ratings of these series are not as good as those of Wang Tianlin, he can still be regarded as the top second-tier series director of Shaw Brothers.  Apart from the fact that the people who give the dividends will not like it, the people who get the dividends must be quite satisfied. As for the dividends of the people behind the scenes, Li Mingbao handed over this task to his second brother. He didn't really need those people.  The gratitude of those behind the scenes.  Because he has his uncle and aunt at his back, it is actually easy to build a good behind-the-scenes team. In addition, he is also the producer of a blockbuster movie in Hong Kong. Those behind-the-scenes staff are also happy to work for Li Mingbao.  But Li Minghui does not have such convenience at Wireless. Although Li Minghui is Li Mingbao's brother, it stands to reason that he can also get the attention of Wireless's senior management. But in fact, although his uncle and aunt are also impressed by him, their impression is not very deep.  . ?? This is the reason why Uncle Liu and the others invested. For the Li family, investing in a Li Mingbao is already interesting enough. Adding in Li Minghui, Uncle Liu is not working for the Li family, so naturally he will not do such a loss-making business.  In addition to this reason, in the eyes of Uncle Liu and others, investing in Li Mingbao can more recoup the cost.  If they originally invested in Li Mingbao just because they wanted to make friends with the people behind Li Mingbao, but after Li Mingbao's two movies were released, Uncle Six paid more attention to Li Mingbao himself.  Not everyone is so good at making movies. Whether it is at the local box office in Hong Kong or overseas, they have achieved great results.  And if Li Mingbao can do it, it will definitely make Uncle Six look at him differently.  Shaw Brothers¡¯ movies have not been very prosperous in the past two years. Even Chu Yuan, a veteran of Shaw Brothers, has not produced any particularly outstanding movies in recent years.  Before the release of Lee Ming-pao's movies, Shaw Brothers' theater chain had actually started to lose money every year.  ??For Uncle Liu, Shaw Brothers Cinemas and Shaw Studios are a mutually reinforcing alliance. Shaw Brothers Studios produces films, and then Shaw Brothers Cinemas sells them for money.  But now, because the quality of the films produced by Shaw Brothers studios is very poor and they do not sell well in Shaw Brothers theaters, this will cause a chain reaction. If the films are of poor quality and do not sell well in theaters, they will have to be filmed within a few days, and  If old films are removed, new films must be released, otherwise the Shaw Brothers theater chain will have no films to show.  However, new films continue to make no money, and old films are re-released. In a vicious circle, movie productions lose money, theaters also lose money, and hatchbacks lose money. The money lost here is not a small amount.  ¡°That is to say, Uncle Liu has a solid foundation and can withstand hardships. If it were another person, he would have gone bankrupt under such circumstances.  Before Li Mingbao's movie appeared, not only Uncle Six was troubled by this problem, but Aunt Six was also anxious.  After Li Mingbao's movie came out, it gave Shaw Brothers a big chance to breathe.  Because Li Mingbao's films are very popular and have a long release time, in Shaw Brothers' case, the first "Happy Ghost" was released in Shaw Brothers for three months. Under such circumstances, Shaw Brothers theaters still have  Make money.  In this way, the losses at the Shaw Brothers studio will be reduced invisibly. After all, there is a movie released, and the studio does not have to rush to make a bad movie, and can take its time.  Li Mingbao has achieved results by relying on his own ability, so he is naturally easy to talk to at Shaw Brothers, but Li Minghui is not that outstanding. Although he can also be taken care of, the top wireless executives are not nannies. Everything is taken care of by Li Minghui.  Li Mingbao asked his second brother to do things like dividends and sales, which invisibly made his second brother's wireless career smoother.  Although for outsiders, how a movie or TV series is, they mainly look at the stars and plot, and don¡¯t know much about the behind-the-scenes.  But everyone in the industry knows that if you want to make a good movie, without the right people behind the scenes, you won't be able to make a good movie at all.  Li Minghui helped Li Mingbao distribute bonuses, even though he did not pay for it himself.?, but those behind the scenes must also accept Li Minghui's favor. If Li Minghui does something in the future, those behind the scenes will not fail to reciprocate.  ¡° Doing things here in Hong Kong, especially sending money, is relatively simple. Just get a cashier¡¯s check from the bank and you can solve most problems.  Li Mingbao was not qualified to issue a cashier's check before, but after the royalties and box office income, Li Mingbao's cash flow exceeded 10 million, and he was eligible to apply for a cashier's check from the bank.  Using cashier's checks to send money is naturally not as effective as using cash.  But now Li Mingbao doesn't want to make himself look like a nouveau riche, running around with two million in cash. In addition to looking more like a wealthy nouveau riche, there will be no other gains.  Therefore, Li Mingbao directly divided his forces into two groups. One was his second brother's side, which used cashier's checks to pay those who had worked for him behind the scenes, and the other was himself, who distributed money to those celebrities.  There are many people behind the scenes, but not much money is actually used to distribute dividends to them.  The dividend of two million would only give them about 800,000 at most.  Everyone gets a few hundred Hong Kong dollars, a few thousand Hong Kong dollars, and a few tens of thousands.  But even this small amount of money is a very good unexpected income for those behind the scenes.  Especially for those on the "Happy Ghost" crew, they didn't expect that after so long, this guy Li Mingbao would still remember them and give them dividends.  This kind of thing is definitely the first time for them to enjoy such treatment.  This kind of thing never happened in Hong Kong before.  For these people, the average crew or boss, even if the film is a hit, has little to do with them. At most, the boss will be very excited after the box office comes out, and just treat them to a meal. Pay them like Li Mingbao.  There were very few people who gave out red envelopes after such a long time, and there were even none.  After receiving the money, those people were naturally grateful, especially to Li Minghui who sent the money. Those people even patted their chests and said that if you have anything to say, they promise to be on call.  Li Minghui is being flattered, but Li Mingbao is doing a hard job. Although the people he wants to share the dividends with are much smaller than those behind the scenes, these people are now celebrities, and the dividends cannot be paid directly.  Just give it and that's it. At least meet and talk.  Moreover, giving dividends to TVB would not have a good impact on the public, so in the end, Li Mingbao had no choice but to make phone calls or personally invite people who had starred or guest-starred in his films to have dinner together in the evening.  For Li Mingbao¡¯s sudden invitation, even if Li Mingbao didn¡¯t say it was a dividend, everyone else was happy to accept it.  After all, the current Li Mingbao is very different from the previous Li Mingbao. After the first movie was filmed, everyone can say that he was lucky, but the second movie was also popular, so it cannot just be said to be luck.  When such a person treats a guest, of course everyone must give him face.  In the evening, Li Mingbao arranged the banquet in a quiet but elegant hotel.  This hotel is not well-known to ordinary people, but in some circles, it is very popular.  With Li Mingbao's current net worth, there would be no big problem even if the banquet was arranged at the Peninsula Hotel, but that place attracts too much attention and is naturally not as relaxing as this place.  After everyone had arrived, Li Mingbao was the first to raise his glass: "I invite you all to come for dinner today. There are two reasons. One is that everyone has helped me a lot since I entered this circle, and now it happens that  It's a holiday, and many people have been missing for a long time, so I asked everyone to come out and get together. Without everyone's wonderful performances, I might not have been able to gain so much. The second thing is that I still have dividends.  There are only two movies, but luckily, they both made money. Although the box office of the movie "Baby Zhi Duo Xing" has not yet been calculated, but depending on the situation, the box office will be very optimistic. In this world, independence is important.  It¡¯s hard to gain weight, and although everyone here is famous for the movie, it¡¯s easier to travel, but when I was filming the film, my salary was very low, so I¡¯m here to show you how to do it. In fact, I couldn¡¯t help it.  When I was making the first film, I only had less than one million Hong Kong dollars on hand, and I had to spend money on everything. In terms of remuneration, I naturally saved as much as I could. But when it came to the second film, although I didn¡¯t have much money anymore.  I'm so short of money, and the box office revenue is already in my hands, but the original idea is somewhat finalized, and the salary is naturally not much higher. Speaking of this matter, everyone would actually have to thank Fatty Wang, if it weren't for it.  He kept talking about it every day, saying that he was almost out of money for milk powder. I would not figure it out so quickly. Money can only be earned if you spend it. If you are stingy, you can't make even two bucks, and it will be in vain.  It makes everyone feel uncomfortable emotionally. So, I made money and took advantage of this festive day.??, I just want to pay back what I owed everyone before, and I hope it's not too late.  If you have any thoughts in your mind, please bear with me.  "
