    Li Mingbao's words were somewhat shameless. Shaw Brothers did not run a welfare home.  On the contrary, Shaw Brothers' rules are very strict, and the so-called strict means that they insist on money.  Ordinary people who want to find actors in Shaw Brothers will definitely have to pay a high price.  "Li Mingbao was so successful in the past, but it was because of Uncle Six's help. Otherwise, when he was making the movie, his life would have been killed by just one manpower.  But now although Li Mingbao can hit people with money.  ¡°But without Liu Shu¡¯s acquiescence, Li Mingbao¡¯s plan to recruit people at Shaw Brothers would be delusional.  The reason why Uncle Liu acquiesced in Li Mingbao's actions was actually because of what Li Mingbao said just now. Li Mingbao was capable and could increase the value of the actors in his hands.  It was because of this that Uncle Six acquiesced.  Now that Li Mingbao actually used this topic as an excuse, it really made Sixth Uncle feel that Li Mingbao had almost left the school and had begun to show his mastery in thick black learning.  Of course, with Uncle Liu's skills, the effect of Li Mingbao's words was far from satisfactory, so Uncle Liu said directly: "If it weren't for your ability, do you think it would be so easy for you to film now? This guy Zhou Runfa is indeed the same as  You have a good relationship, but if I don't nod, no matter how good your relationship is, do you think he would dare to film a movie for you? " Uncle Liu's words are definitely not a threat.  You know, in Shaw Brothers, every actor basically signs a contract with Shaw Brothers that is equivalent to a contract of sale.  This is true for ordinary actors, let alone popular stars like Zhou Runfa. If Uncle Six doesn't nod, he really doesn't dare to film for Li Mingbao.  Didn¡¯t you see that Jiahe is filming with their own people?  It's not that Jiahe doesn't envy these actors from Shaw Brothers. In fact, these actors don't film for Jiahe at all. In the end, Jiahe had to find people to film the movies himself, forming Jiahe's own talent system.  However, Jiahe's background is not comparable to Shaw Brothers, so Jiahe can only maintain its development in a loose form, thus laying down hidden dangers for the future.  Uncle Six had already spoken, and Li Mingbao couldn't continue to act stupid, so he pretended to be grateful and said: "I know Uncle Six misses the old relationship, otherwise, how could a little shrimp like me be where I am now?"  "Where is the achievement?" "Humph, Uncle Six is ??too nostalgic for a guy like you. In these years, it's only you, Uncle Six, who has opened the door to convenience. But you are not an easy man."  , Uncle Liu treats you kindly, but you did something like this. If you ask me, Uncle Liu can't miss the past. Otherwise, if there are more people like you, wouldn't Hong Kong be in chaos? "Fang Yihua.  Read it.  What Aunt Six said was a bit too much, so Uncle Six immediately smoothed things over and said, "Yihua, what you said is quite right. Everyone has his or her own fate. Li Sheng was able to achieve what he is now because of Li Sheng."  "It's my destiny, so don't say anything like this." What Aunt Six said might not be what Uncle Six wanted to say.  But now Li Mingbao's identity is different, so it will only matter if Aunt Six speaks. After that, Uncle Six will smooth things over, and he will say this.  Li Mingbao, who understood that the foreplay was over, started to get down to business: "Uncle Six, I came here this time actually for the release of the movie. Shaw Brothers and I have an old relationship, and this time the new movie is released,  There will definitely be good results. So I feel that it is not in line with maximizing profits for me to make money alone. It is better for everyone to make money. So I came here just to let this drama be released in Shaw Brothers Cinema.  As for the cost, we should stick to the previous method. What do you think, Uncle Liu? " Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Uncle Liu felt really strange. Isn't it that Uncle Liu had never thought about letting Li Mingbao's new play be screened in Shaw Brothers?  Theatrical release.  Li Mingbao's movies are profitable when they are made. The two previous movies have already given Shaw Brothers a taste of the benefits.  But then, because the relationship between the two parties began to deteriorate, Uncle Six never thought that Li Mingbao's drama would be released in Shaw Brothers. When he suddenly heard such news, Uncle Six also had some indigestion.  So Uncle Liu pointed his finger at the table and thought about it in detail before asking: "According to the previous method, four or six points is a good idea. But Li Sheng, why did you let this drama be released in Shaw Brothers? You  Aren¡¯t you working with that guy Zou Wenhuai recently? Isn¡¯t it true that Jiahe won¡¯t show your movie?¡± When Uncle Liu asked the key question, Li Mingbao explained: ¡°It will be released at Jiahe and Shaw Brothers.  There shouldn't be any conflict, right? In fact, in my mind, this movie will not only be released in Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest, but also Princess Jin." Li Mingbao's explanation made Liu Shu take a breath.  Liangqi: "Li Sheng, your idea is really unexpected. Your appetite is too big. If I really want you to do this, wouldn't all the cinemas in Hong Kong be showing your movies?"   Seeing that Uncle Liu's expression finally changed, Li Mingbao still smiled and said: "What's wrong with everyone showing my movie? Besides, how many screens are there in Hong Kong now? It's less than two hundred yuan.  . It seems that Hong Kong is very big, but there are very few movie screens. There are also left-wing movie theaters that can¡¯t show it. So, there are actually very few movie theaters in Hong Kong. Uncle Six, you also know the one I shot in Hollywood.  The movie is very popular, but Uncle Liu, do you know how many screens were used for that movie in North America to achieve such a result? " When Li Mingbao mentioned this question, Uncle Liu was actually very curious, but because of Uncle Liu's relationship in Hollywood,  There weren't many, so he didn't know much about this issue. Now that Li Mingbao, the person involved, was explaining this issue, Uncle Six naturally wanted to satisfy his curiosity.  "I'd like to hear the details!" "That movie was put on 4,000 screens in Hollywood in the entire North American market. At the beginning, 3,500 screens were put on it. Only so many screens can create success.  Such results. If you look back at Hong Kong, the entire market only costs less than 200 yuan for screens. If you compare it with that place, Uncle Liu, you will understand why it is so profitable." Li Mingbao said calmly.  The data speaks for itself.  Hearing the data reported by Li Mingbao, Uncle Liu's heart felt like it was on fire.  No wonder that guy Zou Wenhuai wants to go to Hollywood whether or not he lives.  Although Uncle Six also wanted to go to Hollywood to see it, after suffering a loss, Uncle Six put his mind on Hong Kong. As for Hollywood, it was up to Zou Wenhuai.  But now when he heard Li Mingbao's data and compared it, Uncle Liu understood why Zou Wenhuai had suffered repeated defeats there. Even if he suffered losses, he didn't just shrink back to Hong Kong like himself. No,  Go touch things over there.  It turns out that the reason is that the sky over there is wider, and Zou Wenhuai made money there by relying on Li Xiaolong in the first place, so he couldn't stop.  Although his family fortune is not as big as that of his sixth uncle, Zou Wenhuai is more daring to make a career in Hollywood.  Of course, this is what Uncle Six is ??thinking now, and the real reason is that Zou Wenhuai was also forced by Uncle Six.  Uncle Liu's strength in Hong Kong is not something ordinary people can feel. As Zou Wenhuai, who rebelled from Shaw Brothers and founded Jiahe, he can feel this pressure even more.  It is impossible for Hong Kong to be a match for Shaw Brothers in a short period of time. Zou Wenhuai had no choice but to look for opportunities outside. Then there happened to be a talent like Li Xiaolong, which made Zou Wenhuai make money. Although Hollywood is a mixed bag, Zou Wenhuai is there.  After all, Bian is just a small person, and even the pressure is not as great as it is in Hong Kong.  Therefore, Zou Wenhuai would rather spend more time in Hollywood than in Hong Kong, in order not to let the pressure crush him.  In the past two years, Shaw Brothers' main focus has been on wireless, and Uncle Six has also focused on wireless, which gave Zou Wenhuai a chance to breathe. While holding onto Hong Kong Golden Harvest, he could also go to Hollywood to play in the autumn wind.  "No wonder, no wonder. If you really want to talk about it, I, Shao Laoliu, have become a frog in the well. No wonder Li Sheng's movies over there are so brilliant. They have a good foundation and good publicity. One movie can earn hundreds of millions of dollars. But  It¡¯s not a fantasy anymore,¡± Uncle Liu said with emotion.  "It is precisely because I saw this problem that I came back to Hong Kong to film, and I was thinking about how to get more screens to show my movies. There are only so many in total. If there are not more contact screens, then my movie will be  How can we recoup the cost? Screening movies on more than a hundred screens at the same time may create a new miracle," Li Mingbao said with a hint of hope.  Hearing what Li Mingbao said, Uncle Six couldn't help but envied Li Mingbao.  Li Mingbao is young, knowledgeable and capable, and he is not short of funds now. The impact of such a character appearing in the Hong Kong film and television industry on the Hong Kong film and television industry cannot be underestimated.  This is still a far-sighted thing, a more recent matter, take the movie Li Mingbao as an example. Now Uncle Six is ??already calculating how much money Li Mingbao will earn.  As for losing money, just kidding, all cinemas in Hong Kong show Lee Ming-pao's movies. As long as Lee Ming-pao's movies are not too ugly, you won't lose money no matter how you watch them.  ¡°Now in Hong Kong, only Lee Ming-pao has the ability to have his movies screened by Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest and Golden Princess.  Even Uncle Liu, the overlord of the film industry, would not be able to do such a thing. First of all, it was Jiahe. Unless it was a matter of life and death, the two sides would never have anything good to say.  But Li Mingbao obviously has no such scruples. He can join forces with whomever he wants, and everyone has to give him face.  Uncle Shao Liu, who wanted to understand this, understood that the trend was unavoidable, so in his heart, he did not resist this cooperation.  But Uncle Liu is not a person who likes to suffer losses. Since he wants to use his own theater chain, Uncle Liu wants to know Li Mingbao¡¯s behavior no matter what.?Whether the movie is good or not, and whether there is a market for it.  "Li Sheng, since you have such great ambitions, as a senior, I can't stop you. But I'm not sure about the quality of your movies, Li Sheng. Li Shengjie doesn't mind explaining it, so it's okay for me to do this."  "Old man, let me see it." "This movie is a gun fight movie. Although it is not a mainstream movie in Hong Kong, I believe this movie will have a good harvest. After all, I invested 5 million Hong Kong dollars in this movie.  With so much money, it is impossible to make a bad movie," Li Mingbao said confidently.
