    Little Jason now is only four or five years old, a child of this age.  He has no big dreams at all. Whether he is a director or an actor, it doesn't matter to him, because his final choice lies in the hands of his father Ivan, not in the hands of a little kid like him.  Inside the hand.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????iff?I didn't think of it before, but now that Li Mingbao has proposed that his child should be the starring role, then this matter is basically settled.  Anyway, children don't have to go to school now, and little Jason also has a certain desire for acting.  Respecting Jason¡¯s choice is also a valid reason.  Of course, for Ivan, the more reasonable reason is that the remuneration given by Li Mingbao is quite good, a full salary of 100,000 US dollars, which is very good for Jason, a kid who has never performed before.  Not only is it great!  When Li Mingbao was in Hong Kong, Fan Shaohuang played the leading role, and the fee was only two to three hundred thousand. Most of the money was given as dividends later. The original salary could be said to be pitiful.  Fan Shaohuang still has acting experience, Li Mingbao only gave him that little, and Jason Li Mingbao gave him a salary of 100,000 US dollars, equivalent to 800,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is enough to hire a popular first-line male star in Hong Kong  Come to act.  "It's a pity that this is not Hong Kong, but Hollywood in the United States.  Li Mingbao originally didn't expect to give him so much. The most he wanted was thirty to fifty thousand, which was already very kind.  But Ivan is a character who desperately wants money. If it is less than 100,000, he would rather the crew continue to wait.  Although it is not a good thing for Ivan to wait because he has to be tied to the crew of "Home Alone", it cannot be said to be that bad.  After all, he has already collected the money and is not afraid of Li Mingbao defaulting on his debt. In addition, he is not a popular director and has endless scenes to shoot every day. Ivan won't mind too much if he waits for a few months.  ¡° But Li Mingbao can¡¯t wait. Although the United States is better than Hong Kong in all aspects of the film industry, there is one thing that Hollywood cannot compare to Hong Kong, and that is the speed of filming.  Wang Jing can create a movie with such high efficiency that it can be completed in a week. In the United States, this speed is a miracle.  And it¡¯s not a miracle. If Li Mingbao really dares to play fast in the United States, the first ones who won¡¯t agree will be these actors and behind the scenes. In less than two days, Li Mingbao will receive letters from various unions in the film industry.  Lawyer's letter.  This is definitely not Li Mingbao¡¯s imagination, but a real thing.  Everything is good here in the United States, especially the system is perfect.  The negative impact of the perfect system is that the filming time of the movie is strictly controlled.  You can shoot less every day, but you can never go overtime.  This is not a problem that Li Mingbao can solve by giving him some overtime pay, because even if Li Mingbao takes care of all the people on the crew, those various associations who are full and have nothing to do will dig out this matter and then fight with Li Mingbao  .  It¡¯s a headache just to deal with these associations, not to mention the huge legal fees of litigating with these associations. It¡¯s simply not worth the gain.  Therefore, in order for the film to be released within the stipulated time, Li Mingbao had to leave as much shooting time as possible.  "We can't rush the work here, so we have to work slowly and carefully. Li Mingbao doesn't mind anything that Ivan doesn't mind."  Therefore, it is obvious that Ivan treated Li Mingbao with the mentality of slaughtering a fat sheep, and Li Mingbao had to swallow this bitter pill.  Of course, facing Ivan, Li Mingbao did not have any countermeasures.  He directly bought out Jason¡¯s next few film contracts, and the cost was almost the same as the current price.  In the future, when Jason becomes popular in Hollywood with "Home Alone", these low-priced film contracts in Li Mingbao's hands will be nothing but money. At that time, Li Mingbao will want to see if Ivan can still smile as brightly as he does now.  Ivan didn¡¯t take it seriously about Li Mingbao¡¯s purchase of his children¡¯s film dates.  This is not because Ivan's vision is not long-term, but because he is not optimistic about Li Mingbao at all.  It is not easy for a Westerner to get ahead in Hollywood. If you have strength, you also need luck. Only under such circumstances can you become a lucky person.  Li Mingbao, an Oriental, wants to gain a foothold in Hollywood. Such a thing has never happened. How can Ivan believe that Li Mingbao will succeed?  Since Li Mingbao will not succeed, what is the point of signing a film contract with his own child?  Can we still expect that when Li Mingbao fails, his movies will be successful?  That's bullshit.  ¡° If Ivan had confidence in Li Mingbao, then he would not have offered such a sky-high price at the beginning, nor would he have offered a price of US$100,000 when negotiating with Li Mingbao about his children¡¯s film contract.  Offering such a price was just an attempt to slaughter the fat sheep, because he never thought that he would continue to cooperate with Li Mingbao.    Li Mingbao is not the only one who has come to Hollywood from the East. There are many rich and capable people. So many people have failed. Of course, Li Mingbao¡¯s prospects will not be much better. Instead of looking forward to the future  Cooperation is not as good as getting a vote. It is a fat sheep anyway, and it will not be slaughtered until it is slaughtered.  We finally got the last leading role, and the crew of Li Mingbao's "Home Alone" was officially established.  Of course, when starting a movie in Hollywood, you don¡¯t have to worship God when you start it like in Hong Kong. For Americans, they don¡¯t believe in such a tune.  So after the crew arrived, there was no need to prepare anything. The filming of "Home Alone" started the day after the contract was signed. Once the filming was officially started, Li Mingbao couldn't be as leisurely as he was the previous few days. Although he is not the director of this movie,  But as a producer, if you want to grasp a drama well, you naturally need to follow the crew.  Only in this way can we know whether the director is filming the movie according to his own wishes.  Especially for Li Mingbao, as this movie is his first film to break into Hollywood, he must not allow failure, as that would not be a good outcome.  For the sake of his own future, Li Mingbao cannot relax.  After the filming, Li Mingbao followed the crew to watch it for several days, and Li Mingbao did not watch it in vain these days.  Although Ivan is desperate for money, his professionalism is still quite good. There were no unexpected incidents in the shots taken in the past few days.  The so-called unexpected situation is naturally that Ivan added his own personal items while filming the movie.  Li Mingbao has always hated such things.  No one likes a simple movie to be turned into a hodgepodge.  Li Mingbao only knows of one director who can incorporate private goods without affecting the style of the film, and that is Chen Xiaodong, but that is just an example. Li Mingbao doesn't know whether such a figure will appear in Hollywood, but he knows  Ivan is definitely not such a character.  Therefore, what Li Mingbao values ??most is the consistency of the film style.  And Ivan is obviously doing very well now.  After receiving a lot of US dollars from Li Mingbao, Ivan consciously regarded himself as a filming machine. Whatever effect Li Mingbao wanted, Ivan would shoot it for Li Mingbao. For the sake of dollars and banknotes,  Art or something like that is nothing to Ivan.  Originally, Li Mingbao wanted to watch this movie until the crew finished filming. That would be in line with Li Mingbao's thoughts. After all, this movie is too important, and the starting point for many future plans will be this movie.  ¡°But Jiang Zhiqiang is a restless person. Since Li Mingbao asked him to develop in Hollywood, he would be embarrassed to show off in front of Li Mingbao unless he made some achievements.  So when Li Mingbao was busy with the crew of "Home Alone", Jiang Zhiqiang took two people and began to connect with Anle's old relationship.  Jiang Zhiqiang didn¡¯t feel there was anything wrong with borrowing Anle¡¯s connections.  Even Jiang Zhiqiang's eldest brother did not object.  After all, Anle's connections are the lifeblood of Anle, but to Li Mingbao, their value is just that.  Jiang Zhiqiang is following Li Mingbao now. If he doesn't show some value of his own, when Li Mingbao's power in Hollywood expands in the future, Jiang Zhiqiang's status in Li Mingbao's team will naturally decline in the future.  Anle, who is in charge of Jiang Zhiqiang's eldest brother, cannot be given to Jiang Zhiqiang, but Jiang Zhiqiang is his brother after all. Borrowing connections will not cause any loss to Anle, so it is regarded as a gift to his younger brother.  Of course, Jiang Zhiqiang¡¯s eldest brother actually has another meaning. Li Mingbao has now borrowed Anle¡¯s connections. If Li Mingbao¡¯s career becomes bigger in the future, and they have such a connection with Anle, they might be able to use it at some point. ????????????????????????????????????? If Li Mingbao really achieves something famous in the future and becomes a being like Zou Daheng, they can live comfortably under the big tree and enjoy the shade.  Making friends with a billionaire is a good deal for Anle.  With both parties happy, Jiang Zhiqiang's actions became very smooth.  Although Jiang Zhiqiang's old friends in Hollywood were a little puzzled by Jiang Zhiqiang's sudden departure from the family business and joining another person's business, when Jiang Zhiqiang said that the boss he was following now was a billionaire, those people  Also became enthusiastic.  Billionaires in Hong Kong are multi-millionaires in the United States, but even multi-millionaires are still big shots for those who do not control the main business in film companies. Compared with Jiang Zhiqiang before  Anlelai, such a character is more in line with their principles of making friends.
