    The next day, all major newspapers in Hong Kong unanimously put the news about the movie "A Better Tomorrow" as their front page headlines.  Even Ming Pao, which has always been serious, is not exempt from vulgarity.  And this is not the result of Li Mingbao's use of money, but Mingpao's voluntary reporting, and even Jin Daxia wrote a comment.  "As everyone knows, Li Sheng and I have an old friendship, perhaps even earlier than that with Yifu. When Li Sheng contributed to our Ming Pao newspaper, I knew that Li Sheng was a talent. In martial arts novels, his  The talent is unforgettable. Later, Li Sheng left his job and went to film. I was still pity that such a literary man did something he didn't want to do. But after that, Li Sheng got out of hand in the film industry.  I just discovered that Li Sheng can be regarded as an all-rounder. And I also went to watch this movie. I also admire Li Sheng's movie very much. It is a gunfight movie, but the word "friendship" is too strong.  This point makes me know that Li Sheng¡¯s ability to write stories has not deteriorated. But I still want to say, Li Sheng, if you haven¡¯t published a new article for so long, have you forgotten that you are also a literati?  ? How can a literati who doesn't write articles survive for a long time and can't rest on his laurels?" Jin Yong's evaluation did not say much about "A Better Tomorrow", but the tone of appreciation could not be concealed.  And when Jin Yong was commenting, he did not forget to advertise and ask Li Mingbao to contribute articles to him in Mingpao.  Such comments made Li Mingbao feel a little embarrassed.  During this period, it was indeed a long time since he contributed articles to Ming Pao, but he had no choice. He had been busy with movies recently, so how could he still have the leisure to write a book?  But since Jin Yong reported this topic in the newspaper, Li Mingbao knew that he couldn't hide. When he got time, he had to write some articles and send them to Ming Pao. Otherwise, Jin Daxia would really be unable to explain it.  But fortunately, Daxia Jin did not issue an ultimatum, so Li Mingbao had enough time to write the manuscript. After this period of time, he had to go to Mingpao.  Being a scholar is still very beneficial to Li Mingbao.  Especially in Hong Kong, with this identity, many things will be easier to handle.  Ming Pao¡¯s praise is relatively implicit, but Oriental Daily¡¯s praise is equivalent to naked flattery.  All good things were said about this movie, and it was said that this movie was the first of its kind. Anyway, as long as it was a word that everyone liked, Oriental Daily put it up.  ??Originally, Oriental Daily is aimed at the public. They will write whatever people like to read.  In addition, the relationship between Oriental Daily and Li Mingbao, the God of Wealth, is unclear, so they are not stingy at all in flattering him.  As for Sing Tao Daily, it has long since lost its moral integrity.  The previous negative reports about Li Mingbao were immediately replaced by all the praise now.  It's not that Li Mingbao gave money, the main reason is that Li Mingbao is too dazzling now. Not to mention his influence in the film industry, just talking about the liquidity in Li Mingbao's hands can make most people shut up their bad mouths.  Hong Kong is a money society. When Li Mingbao had hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, they all had to be a little careful. Now, although Li Mingbao¡¯s assets have not been made clear, but relying on movie dividends in the United States, Li Mingbao is not the kind of person who has just reached the level of  Billionaire standard man.  And the most terrifying thing is that all of Li Mingbao¡¯s money is living money, not fixed assets such as industries. Apart from some houses and cars, Li Mingbao really has no fixed assets in Hong Kong. Most of his money is in cash.  flow.  Such a person is definitely not someone they, Sing Tao Daily, can afford to offend.  If Li Mingbao vents his anger on Sing Tao Daily because of some conflicts in the newspaper, the people below don't know if they can bear it. Anyway, their boss Hu Xian certainly can't afford to offend him.  Cash flow is a scary thing no matter where you put it. Hu Xian will never think that he can withstand the flushing of hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars.  So now the major newspapers have not mentioned anything about Li Mingbao¡¯s shady story, but just sing praises, which has become the mainstream.  And these newspapers did not exaggerate too much. The movie "A Better Tomorrow" is a classic.  The original version of "A Better Tomorrow" instantly made everyone remember the director Yusen Wu.  And now Li Mingbao's version of "A Better Tomorrow" has made every detail perfect. Even the most common gangster scene in Hong Kong movies has not appeared under Li Mingbao's editing. No matter how you look at it, it is a perfect movie.  In addition, the plot is outstanding, even if you don't want to be famous, it is not possible. The newspaper reports are good, but it is actually normal.  Even some unconventional tabloids said that this movie was too luxurious, that a certain lighter in a certain shot was a limited edition, or that a bottle of wine in a certain scene was a top-notch XO.  On the surface, it is said that the movie "A Better Tomorrow"The brilliance of luxury goods is overshadowed, but anyone who is not an idiot will understand that this movie is so outstanding even in the details.  Even because of some comments in this newspaper, some alternative moviegoers appeared in Hong Kong. They went to the movies not for the plot of the movie, but to see luxury goods that they had never had the chance to see before.  What it looks like.  Even Pan Disheng, who had just emerged at this time, was attracted by Li Mingbao's approach and wanted to meet Li Mingbao and tell him his views on luxury goods.  It's a pity that his and Li Mingbao's current identities are too different. It's not easy to meet Li Mingbao.  But judging from this incident, Pan Disheng had a new understanding of his own brand concept, which made him realize that movies might be a good way to promote famous brands.  In this way, Pan Disheng began to consciously contact people in the film industry to pave the way for future ideas.  Since the movie tickets in the first few days are all pre-sold, the movie "A Better Tomorrow" does not have statistics on the box office on the same day, three days, and one week.  But judging from the percentage of attendance, the box office of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" can be regarded as breaking many records for Hong Kong movies.  What¡¯s more important is that those who have watched the movie once want to watch it again, and the return rate is at least 70%.  This surprised Shao Daheng and others who originally thought that the pre-sale of tickets was over.  So he immediately invited Zeng Zhiwei back and continued to be the live broadcast host for on-site ticket sales.  Of course, this time's ticket sales are not like the initial ticket sales, where all the tickets were sold, but only 50% were sold.  There is such a rule because Li Mingbao and others understand that not everyone likes to book tickets by phone. Although it is indeed very convenient, some people like to queue up to buy tickets on site. For such people, booking tickets by phone  It's just useless.  To sell all the tickets to phone bookings will undoubtedly dampen the enthusiasm of those who queue up to book tickets, so half of the tickets are for phone bookings and half of the tickets are for on-site bookings, which is a good solution  Way.  Judging from the popularity of the movie "A Better Tomorrow", there is no difficulty in breaking Li Mingbao's previous box office record.  But even Li Mingbao himself can't tell how much the final box office will reach.  The original box office of this movie was over 30 million.  But now this movie has a box office revenue of 20 million before it is released.  If the box office of this movie is only over 30 million, it is undoubtedly proof that this movie is a failure.  But the problem is that this movie has very good reviews both at the box office and in word-of-mouth. Coupled with the killer feature of full-line joint screening, the box office of more than 30 million is really not enough. The box office of 40 million,  Nothing difficult.  But after the box office of 40 million, how many 10 million are left? Even if Li Mingbao had foresight, he would not understand.  Li Mingbao simply knows that his movie is a real success. With the popularity of this movie, it will definitely be released in Hong Kong for a month. This is a home release.  And a month later, it will be the turn of secondary theaters to slowly show it. Compared with other movies that discuss heroes for half a month, "A Better Tomorrow" is uniquely endowed, allowing its box office to slowly soar in the sky for a while.  Thanks to the popularity of "A Better Tomorrow" in Hong Kong, foreign film producers, especially those from Southeast Asia, immediately saw the business opportunities of this movie, so before the movie "A Better Tomorrow" was released in  When the film was released in Hong Kong, the film producers waved their checks and found Li Mingbao, asking for the agency rights of "A Better Tomorrow" in such and such places.  Li Mingbao also treated those who wanted agency rights well, but Li Mingbao did not make any immediate commitments. After all, these guys were not familiar with them. Who knows when they would be tricked by these guys.  So although Li Mingbao entertained him with delicious food and drinks, when it came time to give him the right, he was very cautious and had to hold off first.  But procrastination is not a problem. Others have already shown their sincerity by traveling thousands of miles to come here. If Li Mingbao doesn't give an explanation, he will offend others.  Therefore, in order to avoid losses for your own interests, compared to your lack of experience, it is definitely a good idea to find Liu Shu. If you don¡¯t understand people you don¡¯t understand, doesn¡¯t Liu Shu understand you?  As for Uncle Liu, as long as he can give up the benefits, Uncle Liu will definitely give Li Mingbao a satisfactory explanation.  As for Uncle Liu and these people working together to cheat Li Mingbao, it is even more impossible. Uncle Liu wants to make a lot of money. Li Mingbao's ability can obviously be consumed in more than one movie.  For the benefit of the future, Uncle Liu will also do this beautifully.  In fact, this is also the case. When Li Mingbao found Uncle Liu and wanted Uncle Liu to help manage overseas film dealers, Uncle Liu immediately?I agreed.  Although this job seems like hard work, in fact, it is a good way to grasp the lifeblood. Uncle Liu may not get much actual benefits from acting for Li Mingbao's movies, but the gains in connections are not just one or two movies.  Comparable.
