    Now that he has the say in the cinema chain, Li Mingbao also knows that he must change his previous habit of being a solitary eater. In order to make Princess Jin and Jiahe willingly enter the United Cinemas, Li Mingbao not only threatened Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but also  Money threatens, but the most important threat is the countless scripts in his mind.  If you want to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry, you don¡¯t need to be too particular about other things, but you must not miss out on a good script.  In the past, the Hong Kong film industry didn't care much about scripts, because there were so many people who could write scripts. Even people like Tsang Chi-wai, who was born in martial arts, could write a good script, so scripts are very important to Hong Kong.  As a filmmaker, you really don¡¯t need to care too much.  But since the Hong Kong film industry has the monster Lee Ming-pao, the situation has changed a bit. People who write scripts have a slightly better life than before. Although the improvement is not too much, it is still an improvement.  Because the bosses also pay attention to the script. If Li Mingbao, a new boss, didn't have a good script, why would he become a boss?  You don¡¯t have to care about other people¡¯s scripts, but who dares not care about Li Mingbao¡¯s scripts?  Even overseas film producers are eagerly waiting for Li Mingbao's script, let alone Hong Kong's own people.  When Li Mingbao first negotiated, he came up with more than ten scripts. This weight was enough to crush the will of many people, especially the will of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun.  Zou Wenhuai is a veteran in the film industry, so he knows the market of Li Mingbao's scripts very well.  Although Lei Juekun doesn't know much about movies, he understands the power of Li Mingbao's scripts better. There's nothing he can do about it. Li Mingbao made a lot of money with his scripts in his previous three movies. Compared with Zou Wenhuai, who knows the industry, he is even more afraid. In the end, this one  A straw fell on them, and the United Cinemas Line was born.  Now that United Cinemas has been established, it is impossible for Li Mingbao to shoot those scripts by himself. Now that Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are crying for poverty, they simply took out the scripts.  Li Mingbao still didn't believe that these two guys would be dishonest even if there was a script.  Sure enough, after hearing that Li Mingbao had a script to collaborate with, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, who had been pretending to be poor before, immediately felt their waists and legs no longer hurt, and they felt energetic enough to climb stairs.  "Since we have Li Sheng's script, eight million Hong Kong dollars is nothing. Li Sheng, don't worry, we must support something that is good for the United Cinemas, right? Isn't it just a gap of eight million Hong Kong dollars?  ? I am willing to work with Li Sheng, so how much can I get from the script?" Zou Wenhuai said with a cheerful face, wasn't it just for Li Mingbao's script that he said so much?  Otherwise, with Jiahe's background, if you just pick up a little bit from anywhere, you would already have 8 million. Why should you be embarrassed and say you don't have any money?  Zou Wenhuai spoke, and Lei Juekun was not to be outdone: "If you have a script, you can make money, eight million Hong Kong dollars is nothing, I fully support it. I remember Li Sheng, you have one or two scripts, which were specially created for our New Art City  , Li Sheng, please don¡¯t waste such a script. The cooperation is easy to discuss. We, Princess Jin, will pay for it. Li Sheng, you will get four tiers of the box office in Hong Kong and 20% of the overseas box office.  "Do you think our Princess Jin is sincere?" "What Lei Juekun said is that he really wants to be sincere. It's just a script and a fourth-level income. No one has ever had such treatment before. Li Mingbao's before.  For any movie, if you don¡¯t invest by yourself, shoot by yourself, and find actors by yourself, you can finally get 60% of the box office in Hong Kong and 40% of the overseas box office.  ¡° Where is it like now, without producing anything, just a script, Li Mingbao just waits for 40% of the box office revenue, and 20% of overseas revenue. Such conditions are a big price for anyone.  At least Li Mingbao had never thought that Lei Juekun had such courage before.  Of course, Lei Juekun will not lose money. Li Mingbao's script clearly states that he will earn a lot of money. If he gives 40% to Li Mingbao, Lei Juekun can still make a lot of money in Hong Kong. What's more, for Lei Juekun, the income in Hong Kong is too high.  Nothing.  The real big head is still overseas.  Princess Jin's overseas distribution capabilities have always been scumbag, and even now it has not improved. Lei Juekun is a halfway decent guy. Unlike Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai, he has been in this industry for decades. East Asia  Needless to say, even though he has some connections in Europe and the United States, he is a real white guy.  ¡°To be honest, Lei Juekun¡¯s current overseas distribution capabilities are even worse than Li Mingbao¡¯s.  As long as overseas film producers see Li Mingbao's movies, they will take the initiative to hook up with them. For no other reason than because Li Mingbao's movies can make everyone money.  Now Lei Juekun has taken over Li Mingbao¡¯s script in order for overseas film producers to come to him. Although the movie will not be produced by Li Mingbao, the script is Li Mingbao¡¯s.  With Li Mingbao's endorsement, overseas film producers will give him a good price not only because of Lei Juekun's reputation, but also because of Li Mingbao's reputation.  So regardless of how much profit Lei Juekun gave Li Mingbao, in factHe is using Li Mingbao's signature to win people's hearts.  Especially now that there is a person arranged by an overseas film company in the conference room. When the time comes to put up a sign, others will not doubt him.  So Lei Juekun is a smart person, but among the people sitting here, who is not a smart person?  When they heard that Li Mingbao had a script for Jiahe and Princess Jin, the Xiang brothers' eyes turned green. Who is the most profitable person in the Hong Kong film industry now?  There is no one else except Li Mingbao. Even a big boss like Jiahe cannot make money as fast as Li Mingbao in a short period of time.  A large part of the reason for Li Mingbao's success lies in his novel script.  Although the Xiang brothers are latecomers and don¡¯t know what Li Mingbao did when the theater chain merged, now Li Mingbao has made it clear that he wants to share the benefits. If the Xiang brothers still don¡¯t know what to do, after they enter the film industry,  He won't be able to live happily ever after.  "Li Sheng, you can't favor one over the other. Now that we have a script in hand, can we brothers also take a share of the pie? If you just entered the industry and want to make your own name, you also need a few good movies to support it. Otherwise, if you join the industry  It will be difficult to leave. Now that Li Sheng has brought us in, he still wants us to have the ability to protect ourselves? Can we discuss this script and leave on the terms of Princess Jin?  I'll let you suffer, Li Sheng." Xiang Huasheng said with longing.  "We at Shaw Brothers have been short of good movies recently. Li Sheng, you have to give us some goods even if you have no choice but to give them to us at Shaw Brothers. You have more than ten scripts in your hands. As shareholders of United Cinemas, we at Shaw Brothers, you can't do anything about it."  Do you want to help me?" Uncle Six was not to be outdone and directly revealed the details of Li Mingbao.  "Anyway, we don't know the exact number of scripts in Li Mingbao's hands. In fact, they are the Xiang brothers and Cui Xiaoming. Cui Xiaoming can pretend that he does not exist, but the Xiang brothers and Liu Shu can take advantage of it.  After all, Shaw Brothers is not up to par. When it comes to movie issues, it is inevitable that there is some lack of confidence. If the Xiang brothers are involved, it will also be a friendship, and Princess Jin and Jiahe will not take away most of the share.  If only Shaw Brothers, Jiahe, and Xinyi City were fighting, Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai could easily form an alliance and eventually cut off Shaw Brothers' share. But if the Xiang brothers are added, the situation will become different.  Although the strong competition for hegemony is not a very stable combination, it is better than the three strong forces competing for hegemony. Shaw Brothers was defeated by Jiahe New Art City, right?  With the four parties joining, Li Mingbao will have to consider the issue of balance. In the end, New Art City and Golden Harvest may still get a larger share, but Shaw Brothers and Yongsheng will not do nothing. If the gap is too big  , and it doesn't stand for unity, so Uncle Six couldn't help but drag the Xiang brothers in to disrupt the situation.  As for Cui Xiaoming, it¡¯s better not to say anything at this time. It¡¯s true that he represents the interests of overseas film companies. Overseas film companies will definitely not let such a profitable thing go. Unfortunately, it¡¯s because Cui Xiaoming represents too many interests.  Even if they finally win a share, who will give it to them is still a big problem. Cui Xiaoming is just a wage earner, and it will obviously not be a good thing if he gets caught up in the fight between the bosses behind him.  So while watching the fun is best, entering the fray is foolish.  Seeing that the four film companies are so active, Li Mingbao doesn't feel embarrassed. Anyway, the scripts he has are really valuable and can earn hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at once. There are none at all.  When he came up with these scripts, Li Mingbao had no intention of keeping these scripts. They were all for the purpose of winning people's hearts.  Therefore, apart from the scripts written by these companies, there are very few scripts that are truly profitable.  This is why Boss Lei just said that several of Li Mingbao¡¯s scripts are very suitable for their New Art City. Because Li Mingbao¡¯s scripts are originally the outstanding scripts of New Art City in the next few years, so Boss Lei thinks they are suitable.  Point is not only suitable for New Art City, but also suitable for Jiahe, and even suitable for Shaw Brothers and Yongsheng.  Although Shaw Brothers movies have declined, there are not no talents in Shaw Brothers. Wang Jing has been supporting Shaw Brothers for several years, so the scripts suitable for Shaw Brothers are basically Wang Jing's movies.  As for Yongsheng, Li Mingbao even gave them a blockbuster movie as a meeting gift. The name of this meeting gift was "God of Gamblers".  As the movie series that made the most money for Yong Sheng, "God of Gamblers" has a special meaning for Yong Sheng. Although this movie is basically a work ten years later, since Li Mingbao has mentioned Zhou Runfa now, he can't  Let him get rusty in the circle.  And "God of Gamblers" can satisfy everyone's needs. Li Mingbao cast him just to enhance Zhou Runfa's reputation.  For an actor like Zhou Runfa, Li Mingbao feels that he should not be allowed to hang around for more than ten years. If he becomes famous early, his acting career will be much broader in the future, and he will become an international superstar.??Maybe this is his future path.
