    In the end, the party organized by Uncle Six failed to achieve anything famous.  Under the premise of Boss Lei not cooperating, and the vague connection between Li Mingbao and Zou Wenhuai, none of the original booking goals of Uncle Six were achieved.  This time, not only did Uncle Liu fail to achieve the booking goal, but it was because Uncle Six was not sure enough about this matter. Everyone, including Li Mingbao, saw that Uncle Liu was increasingly unable to do what he wanted in the film industry.  .  Such a situation made Boss Lei, who had no intention of joining forces with Uncle Six, feel a little lucky.  If he didn't want to agree to Uncle Liu at the beginning, it was just because Boss Lei didn't want to be Uncle Liu's gun, and consciously or unconsciously wanted to control his own right to speak.  But when the banquet ended later, Boss Lei knew more and more that Uncle Six's voice in the film industry was really shaken.  Originally, the situation of Shaw Brothers was not that good, but the sudden rise of Li Mingbao helped Sixth Uncle regain some vitality, and Shaw Brothers also showed signs of continuing to prosper.  But I didn't expect Uncle Six to commit suicide and force Li Mingbao to go to Hollywood. This not only deprived Uncle Six of a stable source of film production that he could rely on, but also completely exposed the foundation of Shaw Brothers' failure despite being so good.  out.  With such a Shaw Brothers, let alone Boss Lei¡¯s lack of cooperation, even if he really cooperates, it will still be Princess Jin and Shaw Brothers who are dragged to death in the end, not Li Mingbao and Zou Wenhuai.  Uncle Liu can still make money from TVB after leaving the movie, but if he, Boss Lei, leaves the movie and wants to return to his former business of Kowloon Bus and real estate, it will be impossible.  The reason why he withdrew his hands from these two industries in the first place was not because the situation there was too complicated. He couldn't grasp these two industries at all, so when he saw the hope that the film industry would become popular, he got into it all at once.  , if it weren't for Li Mingbao's accident, his previous idea would definitely succeed.  In history, the power of New Art City directly forced the two old rivals Liu Shu and Zou Wenhuai together, so Boss Lei¡¯s calculation was not bad.  Now even with the accident of Li Mingbao, although Boss Lei has suffered some loss in face, in terms of actually making money, he is more profitable than before. The most important thing is that Boss Lei has absolute say in Princess Jin, which is very important in Kowloon.  Buses and real estate are two industries that Boss Lei cannot do.  It¡¯s hard to enjoy the feeling of being the boss. If he wants to go back to being the second child like before, Boss Lei will definitely not be able to bear it.  Therefore, Boss Lei was very happy that he did not cooperate with Shaw Brothers to suppress Li Mingbao this time. It was a good move to resolve the grudge with Li Mingbao.  To say that Li Mingbao was living a relatively comfortable life at this time, since that party, the relationship between Li Mingbao and Zou Daheng became more and more familiar.  After all, he can be regarded as a comrade in the trenches. Although Uncle Six did not talk about anything that day, it made Uncle Six's weakness revealed in front of everyone.  But Liu Shu is weak and still cannot be challenged by Li Mingbao now.  After all, apart from a little money, Li Mingbao is really lacking in other things. Although Li Mingbao has asked his eldest brother to secretly acquire some old movie theaters in Hong Kong for the past six months, he has only obtained three or four of them now.  It's just a movie theater. Although these movie theaters are relatively large, it is not possible to open them immediately.  You must know that Hong Kong¡¯s cinemas in this era are actually a big pit, a very big pit.  On the one hand, movie screenings need to be supported by theater chains. It seems wonderful. As long as there are movie theaters, there is no need to worry about no movies to be shown.  But the problem is that in Hong Kong today, there are only a few movies that can make money.  It is definitely rare to see the two movies made by Li Mingbao making huge profits.  Chen Long was able to have a big celebration party after filming "Junior Brother", and the box office of that movie was only more than 11 million Hong Kong dollars. If it was divided among several companies, plus Chen Long's salary, he actually made no money.  not a lot.  And even for such movies, there are not many in Hong Kong. Movies with a box office of over one million can be considered successful in Hong Kong. Nowadays, there are more movies, and the overall box office is generally around a few hundred thousand.  Movies make up the majority.  Even if the total box office of a movie is only a few thousand Hong Kong dollars, it is not that unusual.  Such a box office requires profit sharing between the production company, the cinema, and the actors. It is definitely not a small amount of money for a movie that loses money to grandma¡¯s family.  It is not unusual for movies to lose money, and cinemas to lose money as well.  The example of this is Shaw Brothers. It is obvious that the movies they are shooting now are losing money every time they make one, but Uncle Six has to lose money while shooting. Otherwise, the entire industry will stop, and then there will be no choice but to completely  finished.  Of course, the Shaw family is now weak and has not yet reached its end. Even Uncle Liu still has the mind to take care of the Shao family.As for the business, just this year I wanted to develop it and produce a completely different "Interstellar". Of course, in the end, Uncle Liu's efforts failed, and the Shaw Brothers theater chain will have to be sold in two years.  Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t have to have any delusions about Uncle Liu¡¯s theater chain now. Just like Uncle Liu said at the banquet a few days ago, Shaw Brothers still has deep feelings for Uncle Liu, and he will not sell it no matter how much money he spends.  As for whether this is true, only Uncle Liu himself knows.  Shaw Brothers may have a very important position in Uncle Liu's heart, but to say that Uncle Six would rather support Shaw Brothers without money is nonsense.  If Uncle Six was really such an arrogant person, he would not have thought of taking over Wireless TV back then.  Isn't the reason for joining Wireless the reason that Wireless is more profitable than Shaw Brothers?  After so many years of development, Shaw Brothers has become unprofitable and in fact losing money.  Now Uncle Six still wants to keep Shaw Brothers, but it's because of Li Mingbao's stimulation. In addition, Uncle Six is ??really optimistic about the movie, and he has the idea that Shaw Brothers may be saved.  That¡¯s why he resolutely refused to sell. When Uncle Six is ??really hurt by Shaw¡¯s losses in the future, Uncle Six will make a wise decision sooner or later.  Therefore, Li Mingbao is not in a hurry to get Shaw Brothers into his mouth. In addition, most of the money in Li Mingbao's hands is still in the United States and has not been repaid yet.  " In addition, Li Mingbao has other plans for this money. Uncle Six's delay may not be a good thing for Li Mingbao. He also lacks time now.  When Uncle Six really wakes up, there will definitely be some concessions on the price.  Li Mingbao was not a fool. He had to pay a high price to get the Shaw Brothers theater chain into his own hands, and even made Uncle Liu feel that he had lost money.  Rather than doing this, it is better to break Uncle Liu's delusion and obey him when the time comes, which is the right thing to do.  Uncle Liu now has a complicated attitude towards Li Mingbao. On the other hand, because Li Mingbao and Uncle Liu are already very close, it is not unusual for Li Mingbao to often appear on the sets of Shaw Brothers.  It can be said that Li Mingbao has a very good relationship with the middle and lower levels of TVB Shaw Brothers. Even Li Mingbao's brother Li Minghui is still a middle-level director at TVB and has done a lot of filming.  However, although Li Mingbao and the top management of Wireless, especially Uncle Six and Aunt Six, were not incompatible, their relationship was extremely bad. Aunt Six scolded Li Mingbao more than once for being an immature child in front of Uncle Six.  He was a white-eyed wolf, eating and drinking from Uncle Liu, and in the end, he even plotted against Uncle Liu.  Such a rebellious guy is really disgusting.  Of course, Aunt Six could only say these words in front of Uncle Six. Outside, although she would still not look good on Li Mingbao, she would not say too many bad things about Li Mingbao, and sometimes she would even go against her wishes.  Say some good things about Li Mingbao.  This is not to say that the sixth aunt really misses Li Mingbao's old relationship, but it is because the current Li Mingbao is no longer someone that the sixth aunt and the sixth uncle can handle.  Although the money Li Mingbao earned in the United States has not been brought back to Hong Kong, watching that movie is still popular in the United States, and even received a good response in Europe. All fools understand that Li Mingbao will make a lot of money, even if it is divided  It's very low, but this movie is a big cake. No matter how low the total income is, it cannot be compared to the income from Li Mingbao's two movies in Hong Kong.  "The two movies that Li Mingbao shot in Hong Kong directly broke Hong Kong's box office records. Even the overseas revenue was not a small amount. The two movies combined brought Li Mingbao hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in revenue.  And even this amount of money is still not enough to watch Li Mingbao's "Home Alone".  Even if Li Mingbao¡¯s income is lowered, the profit brought by this movie to Li Mingbao is at least 300 million Hong Kong dollars and more.  This much money, plus Li Mingbao's original funds, is more than the living money Uncle Liu has now.  Such a large amount of money is a big sum no matter where you put it. If you really want to break up with Li Mingbao, although Uncle Liu will definitely win in the end, he will definitely be disgraced by Li Mingbao. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away off the top.  And how old is Li Mingbao now?  If he really wanted to make this relationship extremely troublesome, Li Mingbao could drag Uncle Liu to death.  So even if Aunt Six is ??reluctant, sometimes she has to say good things to Li Mingbao in order not to kill the relationship, which is not good for both parties.  Therefore, when Li Mingbao dealt with the middle and lower levels at Wireless, Aunt Six turned a blind eye.  Especially for Wang Tianlin and his son, Aunt Six never said anything about Li Mingbao in front of them, just for fear of embarrassment.  Who doesn¡¯t know that the two brothers Li Mingbao and Li Minghui had a deep relationship with Wang Tianlin back then. Li Mingbao was filming in Hong Kong.For a movie, let Wang Jing be the director.  Such a relationship cannot be easily changed by Aunt Six with just a few words.
