    (I moved in the past two days, so the update time will be a little unstable, but Jianjia works hard to ensure that the updates are in place every day. The two chapters I owed yesterday will be released after two days when they are stable. Although there are some  However, Jianjia is also afraid that the internet may be disconnected for a few days when moving, so she will hold on to it for now and keep her full attendance. After things are completely stabilized, Jianjia promises to give everyone an explanation. There will definitely be no less than three or five chapters for everyone.  Enjoyed watching it once. ) Hearing John¡¯s words, Li Mingbao knew that today¡¯s matter was more than half over. If John was not interested in this movie at all, then John would never say such a thing, but now since  John took a stand, which proves that this matter is very interesting.  "Of course, I am living in two places now, one is in Hollywood, and the other is in Hong Kong. Obviously, this movie cannot be shot in Hollywood, because the cost of shooting in Hollywood is very high. Although I  There is some money, but I will never waste it if I can. So John, what do you think of this movie? Is there any hope of it being released in Hollywood?" Li Mingbao asked John.  "The story of this movie is very strong and the pace is tight. The most important thing is that this movie is very suitable for American tastes and is fundamentally different from previous Hong Kong movies. I still haven't figured out what Hong Kong movies are like.  How could it be possible to improve so much all at once?" John said with emotion while shaking his head.  "John, the development of Hong Kong's movies may not be that fast, but you also have to look at who shot the movie. You know, I not only know about Hong Kong movies, but also the situation in Hollywood. Plus,  I shot this movie, do you think it will be difficult to achieve this?" Li Mingbao said with a smile.  John¡¯s prejudice is not excessive for today¡¯s Hong Kong movies.  Because at this time, Hong Kong movies had the so-called new wave.  But New Wave movies are not the mainstream of Hong Kong movies now.  Although the influence of Li Mingbao has appropriately accelerated the pace of changes in Hong Kong movies.  But if Hong Kong movies want to change, it cannot be accomplished overnight.  Besides, although Li Mingbao had some influence on the new wave of Hong Kong, his more influence was to follow the trend.  A bad habit in Hong Kong movies is to follow the trend. What does following the trend mean?  What kind of movies are popular, and what kind of movie types will be shot a lot.  Just like when Li Mingbao shot his first movie "Happy Ghost", not long after it was released, many follow-up movies were released.  The pace of Hong Kong movie shooting is not comparable to that of Hollywood. A quick shooter like Wang Jing can complete a movie from shooting to release in one week.  Wang Jing is known as a fast shooter. Although his film shooting schedule cannot represent the whole of Hong Kong, it is not unusual for most directors in Hong Kong to shoot a movie so quickly.  The reason why Wang Jing became the representative is simply because Wang Jing is the most famous.  It's not that no one can surpass Wang Jing's speed.  Today's Hong Kong movies, due to the rudimentary behind-the-scenes, make the filming process very fast. Some unknown directors can even finish a movie within three or four days.  Such an exaggerated situation is definitely not something that Hollywood filmmakers can imagine.  Later, Li Mingbao filmed another movie "Baby Smart Stars", and Fan Shaohuang's films were scheduled for a period of time without interruption.  Even though Lee Ming-pao's latest movie "A Better Tomorrow" is currently being screened in Hong Kong, the follow-up film was already released as soon as Lee Ming-pao didn't come to Hollywood.  Although the quality is totally unacceptable, the speed is definitely very fast.  For today¡¯s Hong Kong filmmakers, speed is the first factor.  But with speed, in terms of quality, there is only hahaha.  John's prejudice is not excessive for most current Hong Kong movies.  ¡° If Li Mingbao hadn¡¯t had the memory of later generations and an omnipotent whiteness, if he had entered this industry, he would not be too different from other people.  Perhaps it is not impossible to follow Li Xiaolong's old path.  But what Li Mingbao is discussing with John is not other Hong Kong movies, but his own movies. Then Li Mingbao must refute, otherwise he will suffer a big loss in the negotiations later.  Although Li Mingbao has some friendship with John, this friendship will not play a big role in terms of money.  Although Li Mingbao still doesn't quite understand why John treated him in such a friendly manner before, Li Mingbao knows that Americans have a habit, that is, one thing is one thing, and they will not mix this thing with that thing.  Let¡¯s talk together inside.  Therefore, although Li Mingbao had a relationship with John before, Li Mingbao knew that the previous friendship would not play a big role in talking about the release of this movie.?.  Of course, it's not completely useless. At least the release of "A Better Tomorrow" won't require us to find various channels to get the film directly to 20th Century Fox like the previous release of "Home Alone."  That's it.  And such conditions are impossible for even Boss Zou to obtain.  This is equivalent to a threshold. If you don't cross it, even if you see the golden mountain inside the door, it will be of no use. You will only drool. But as long as you cross it, like Li Mingbao, it is basically equivalent to being accepted by Hollywood.  , in the future, there will be as many opportunities as local Hollywood film companies on various issues.  Even for local film companies in the United States, it is difficult to get such an opportunity. After all, not every local film company boss has relationships with Hollywood giants.  After hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, John also thought about it at this time: "It seems that in the future I need to separate Li's movies from movies shot by other Hong Kong film companies. Because Li's movies are different from those of other Hong Kong film companies.  Movies are completely different, just like "A Better Tomorrow", which is really well shot. If the actors in the movie are not Asian, it may not be impossible to get thousands of screens, although the cost of this movie will be high.  It can be said that it can only be a low-budget movie, and the cost of shooting will not exceed 5 million US dollars. But because of the plot, coupled with the obvious western cowboy style and very heroic spirit, it also has a large market in Hollywood.  Maybe when this movie is released, we will also have a western style." Hearing John's words, Li Mingbao was happy because he heard that John did have the idea of ??releasing this movie.  Otherwise, I wouldn¡¯t have said such words in the end.  This is a successful start for Li Mingbao.  But how to sell this movie at a good price is what Li Mingbao needs to consider, so Li Mingbao then said in a deceptive way: "Okay, John, what's wrong with Asians? I am also Asian. Of course, I am not against you.  What do you think about Asians? Because I know that this idea has a big market in the United States, and the most important thing to consider in movies is the market. But from another perspective, John, maybe you would think that choosing Asians is sometimes a problem.  A good choice. What do you think of the acting skills of the protagonists in this movie?¡± After hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s opening words, John suddenly remembered that Li Mingbao is also Asian.  There was indeed something very wrong with what he said just now, but unexpectedly Li Mingbao changed the topic and expressed that he didn't care much about such words, so John was relieved.  Later, when he heard Li Mingbao talking about these actors, John immediately said: "The acting skills of the actors in this movie are very good, even compared to Hollywood movie stars, they are not bad, especially that little Ma  , his eyes are so charming, and the changes in his eyes in several scenes, even the Hollywood movie kings will not be much better than him. Of course, this young man still looks very immature now, and he wants to truly reach the level of movie kings.  , still needs some time to improve. At least for now, the only thing about his acting skills that can rival the best actor is his eyes. I don¡¯t know why his eyes can do so many things in such a short period of time.  The changes have so many meanings, and his eyes can speak. "Sure enough, Zhou Runfa's eyes are such a bright spot, it is impossible to escape the eyes of an old fox like John.  Regarding the changes in Zhou Runfa's eyes, Zhou Runfa suffered a lot when filming.  Li Mingbao originally wanted to create a classic, and the classic scenes in the movie "A Better Tomorrow" are absolutely indispensable for Zhou Runfa's eyes.  So when filming the movie, the filming of Zhou Runfa's scenes was very hard and a lot of film was wasted. Even Wu Yusen couldn't understand why Li Mingbao was so picky. After all, although Zhou Runfa is very famous now,  Movie acting skills are still very different from those a few years ago, and Li Mingbao decided to forcefully raise the requirements for Zhou Runfa's acting skills on this issue.  ¡° At the time, Yusen Wu felt very sorry for Li Mingbao¡¯s waste of film.  But when the shots that met Li Mingbao's requirements appeared, Wu Yusen also truly discovered how powerful Li Mingbao was. Although these shots were not long, the combination of these few shots made the movie more flesh and blood.  .  And Zhou Runfa's acting skills improved a lot under the torture of Li Mingbao.  And now, when we get to John, John, an old fox, also discovered this bright spot immediately. Therefore, Li Mingbao feels more and more necessary to waste film. Otherwise, without Zhou Runfa's acting skills, how could John be so good?  Are you sure Zhou Runfa is successful?  "John, I want to ask you, if you hire someone like Ponyboy in this movieHow much would it cost to hire a white star with acting skills?  "Li Mingbao asked at this time. "If you want to hire actors like this who are close to the movie king level to act, it will cost at least a million dollars.  This is still the starting price. If you want to hire popular actors with such acting skills, it will not be less than three million US dollars.  "After John thought for a while, he said seriously. "Then if I tell you that this actor's salary in Hong Kong is only 500,000, and I raised this price, John, do you have any more ideas?  "Li Mingbao said with a smile, his expression was like a fox who has stolen a chicken.
