    Hearing what Justin said, Li Mingbao smiled and said: "Maybe I used to be as mischievous as this kid, so until now, I still have fresh memories of some things at that time. Maybe it's because of this that I took the photo  "Maybe, but with all due respect, you should be from Hong Kong. Are the children in Hong Kong the same as our children in the United States? Otherwise, why can you grasp it so perfectly?  What about a plot like this?" Justin asked.  "Children's naughtiness all have common characteristics. Children in Hong Kong are naturally not like those in the United States. It is not easy for ordinary people to change, but for me, it is relatively simple.  , because I have a unique talent for the film industry. Of course, it is also because I made the same film when I was in Hong Kong, and I accumulated a lot of experience in that film.  Only when I make a movie in Hollywood can I feel like a fish in water. Without that movie, I might not have been able to make this movie so well. " "I'm really starting to envy you now.  Okay, Mr. Li, your talent in this industry, at least in my opinion, is already very high. It¡¯s not like I haven¡¯t seen your directors in Hong Kong, but their ability to change their minds is, to be honest, very poor.  Whether in Hong Kong, Hollywood, or elsewhere, the way they shoot movies always has strong Hong Kong characteristics. I'm not saying that such characteristics are bad, after all, every place has them.  Only local characteristics, that is, the collision of countless characteristics, can create a great civilization. But on the Hollywood side, you also know that Hong Kong¡¯s ideas will not be the mainstream. The mainstream here can only be Hollywood.  Of course, it's not just Hong Kong people. Many outsiders in Hollywood have never thought about adapting to the style of Hollywood. And if they do so, the results will certainly not be very good.  , I remember that some time ago, there was an actor in Hong Kong named Jackie Chan. He was not very adaptable to Hollywood. As a result, the movie he made had problems at the box office. But Mr. Li, you.  In this movie, I don¡¯t feel any other style except Hollywood style at all. If I have to say that there is, it means that I think the shooting methods of this movie are more advanced than the current mainstream methods in Hollywood.  "Of course, this advanced approach is not too abrupt, and the audience will never feel uncomfortable." Justin continued to give Li Mingbao a thumbs up.  Don¡¯t think that foreigners can¡¯t flatter you. If they don¡¯t flatter you, it¡¯s because you are not qualified to flatter them. If you are qualified, they are no different from ordinary Orientals.  "Thank you, Mr. Justin, for the compliment. Should we continue watching this movie now?" Li Mingbao has a high immunity to Justin's flattery. He understands the value of "Home Alone" better than Justin.  The reason why I was restless before was because my movie was not shown in front of real big shots. Even if Li Mingbao himself praised the movie like Xiaobaihua, it would not make any sense.  But now looking at Justin¡¯s situation, it¡¯s obvious that his optimism is written directly on his face.  Justin is optimistic, and Li Mingbao is naturally not in a hurry. Although now Li Mingbao can talk to Justin about the film release situation, but now that Justin is excited, and Li Mingbao has taken the initiative, he naturally has to be more reserved.  No matter what you are selling, you must take the initiative, so that you can sell it at a good price.  Hearing what Li Mingbao said, Justin was obviously stunned for a moment, and then he immediately understood that Li Mingbao said this because his previous words made Li Mingbao feel like he was waiting for a price.  Justin was not bothered by the fact that he had given the initiative to Li Mingbao.  Because he believes that no matter how big the appetite of this Hong Kong person is, his appetite will be filled when facing Twentieth Century Fox. This situation has many problems under the operation of Twentieth Century Fox for so many years.  The practice proves.  So even though Justin still had the desire to chat at this time, he had to say angrily: "Well, indeed, we should finish watching this wonderful movie first before talking about other things." And in the second half of the movie, there are  After removing the previous foundation, Justin no longer showed a surprised expression.  Because the surprise has passed, and now it's time to talk about the price.  Therefore, Justin¡¯s main energy has been put on how to negotiate in the future. Although the second half of the movie is equally exciting, for a businessman, no matter how exciting the spiritual enjoyment is, it is not as important as work.  ? ?After the entire movie was shown, Justin was the first to applaud.  Although there were only Justin Li Mingbao and some staff in the entire independent screening room, and there were only ten people in total, Justin applauded, and other people also applauded, which made the screening room very lively.  "Mr. Li, your movie is very good, so I think it is good news for both of us that your company handed this movie over to 20th Century Fox for distribution." Justin was already standing at this time  He got up and said to Li Mingbao sincerely.  "It is precisely because I believe in the vision of the top management of 20th Century Fox that once this movie comes out, our first negotiation target is your company, not Universal or Warner." Li Mingbao said with a smile.  ¡°Our vision at 20th Century Fox is well-known in Hollywood, and we know this, so there are countless outstanding producers like Mr. Li who have given their films to our company for cooperation.  "Justin said.  "Then we can talk about the release of this movie now, right?" Although Li Mingbao acted very reserved just now, now that he has entered the topic, no matter how reserved he still has to make a deal.  "Yes, we can talk now. Of course, I don't think the screening room is a good place for negotiation. If you don't mind, you can go to my office, drink coffee, and then discuss such issues.  , I believe that it will definitely be more comfortable." Justin extended an invitation to Li Mingbao.  As the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox, this building is their office space, and Justin's office is not on the same floor as the screening room, so Li Mingbao and the others walked a while after leaving the screening room, and then  I took the elevator to the floor of Justin's office and finally entered Justin's office.  Although he was just walking in a hurry, Li Mingbao took a casual look and could see the vitality of Twentieth Century Fox. There were people walking in a hurry everywhere.  Either holding a folder or a cup of coffee, or occasionally walking past one or two people who are discussing a problem, to make the atmosphere in the company look great.  Compared with the place Li Mingbao opened in Hollywood, which was basically equivalent to a leather bag company, 20th Century Fox can truly be regarded as a Hollywood film company, and his place can only be regarded as an empty space at best.  In small workshops, the gap is very obvious.  As a deputy general manager of the publishing department, Justin's office is very spacious. The office is more than 100 square meters, let alone just for Justin alone. Even if there are ten more people, it will not be crowded.  After the two parties sat down and Justin's secretary brought the coffee, Justin first said: "Mr. Li, I personally am quite optimistic about your movie, so I am very optimistic about the release of such a movie.  I personally have no objection at all, and I believe other colleagues in the company will also have no objection to this. We don¡¯t need to discuss this too much. What I want to know now is, Mr. Li¡¯s opinion on your film.  What are the specific requirements for 20th Century Fox to distribute it? "The requirements Justin mentioned were actually asking Li Mingbao how he planned to let Fox distribute this movie.  Don't think that film distribution is a simple thing. In fact, the things involved are very complicated.  When a movie is released, it needs a movie theater to undertake the screening work. This is not difficult for a Hollywood giant like 20th Century Fox. As a veteran Hollywood giant, it is simply too difficult to get some movie theaters.  Simple.  In terms of publicity, 20th Century Fox can also be said to have rich experience.  For many movies, whether they do well at the box office or not, the biggest impact lies not in the theaters, but in publicity.  If the publicity is not strong enough and others don't know that such a movie exists, then even if you prepare a screening screen worth 2,000 yuan, you will still lose money before the word-of-mouth of the movie spreads.  Even if it is a bad movie, if the distributor promotes it well and the theater chain provides enough, as long as the cost of the bad movie is not too high, investors will eventually recover the cost, and even make a small profit, it is not a problem.  Of course, if it's a really bad movie, it's basically difficult to get that kind of distribution and publicity. Unless you have some other relationships, it's generally impossible to get the publisher to lose money to you for publicity.  "If I were talking to Uncle Liu about distribution in Hong Kong, maybe Li Mingbao would answer directly, but this is Hollywood. Although he already has some understanding of the situation here, he is not very professional after all.  So for this kind of problem, Li Mingbao still leaves it to Jiang Zhiqiang. Although he has never done anything related to distribution before, he has been in Hollywood for a long time, even if he has never eaten pigs.Rou, I have also seen pigs running. How to talk about this issue? Jiang Zhiqiang is definitely qualified for this role.
