    But just after Cameron finished speaking, Mary also spoke: "Boss, Mr. Cameron, this script is indeed quite creative. I also believe that if this movie is really made, there will definitely be many fans."  Big gain. However, the investment issue of this movie is in great conflict with our development philosophy of DreamWorks. Although you, the boss, have decided that DreamWorks will shoot the company¡¯s own big-investment movies when the time is right, DreamWorks  The current direction of development is in horror films. If we invest in science fiction films, DreamWorks' philosophy and image will be in great conflict. Moreover, the market we have is completely different from that of science fiction films. We want to make it happen.  It¡¯s not easy for audiences to like science fiction movies. And this movie is quite novel, and it¡¯s also a test for the market. I don¡¯t think it¡¯s feasible for DreamWorks to make the investment.  DreamWorks should not be involved in investment. After all, our main focus is different. If we invest in other movies, it may not have good results, so if the boss invests, it is best to be cautious. "  After hearing what Mary said at the beginning, Li Mingbao felt that Mary was indeed a woman he wanted. If he could invest in this movie, it would be a good opportunity for both Li Mingbao and Cameron.  With this movie, Cameron can initially make his image appear in Hollywood, and Li Mingbao, who invests in Cameron, can also take the opportunity to make Cameron have a good impression of him.  In the future, if Cameron wants to make his own movies, the first investor that comes to mind will be himself. Even in movies like Broken Ship and Avatar, Cameron will not forget to find himself as the enemy.  Knowing that he is making money, Li Mingbao has absolutely no pressure to be the scapegoat. He will not have trouble with money even if he has trouble with anyone.  Therefore, Mary's answer is in her own interests.  But I didn¡¯t expect that as soon as Mary¡¯s voice changed, a but came.  Whether it is "but" in English or "but" in Chinese, they all play a turning role. In Chinese, especially when leaders make reports, the praise in the front is actually just a formality. If there is no additional words at the end,  But, that's real praise.  But if there is a but, then the situation will 100% slip into a bad direction.  Sure enough, Mary expressed her objection after that.  And the reason for the opposition is also valid. Science fiction films and horror films are incompatible. DreamWorks now wants to occupy the horror film market, not operate across industries.  For ordinary companies, it doesn¡¯t matter what kind of movies they make, as long as they make money.  But the problem is that DreamWorks has grown to such a strong capital position because of its established position in horror films. The sudden transformation is indeed different from the development direction of DreamWorks.  And the one Mary mentioned at the end may encounter some other troubles, and Li Mingbao also knew what she was referring to.  Since DreamWorks wants to be a professional horror film production company, if you suddenly produce a science fiction film, and it is the first film with a large investment, this will fundamentally change the intangible value of DreamWorks.  .  Others will not think that this is an investment plan that the boss of DreamWorks came up with, but they will think that DreamWorks has suddenly entered other fields and has some new plans. Will such new plans have an impact on their own company?  .  With this idea, whether DreamWorks will be able to survive in the future is a question.  But fortunately, Mary also gave Li Mingbao face. After objecting to the film being shot by DreamWorks, she gave Li Mingbao a compromise plan, which was to let Li Mingbao invest in the film by himself, without relying on DreamWorks.  Brands do things.  Anyway, what Cameron lacks is investment, not reputation.  ¡°As long as after his movie is filmed, Li Mingbao can ask 20th Century Fox to distribute it. With the relationship between Li Mingbao and John, it is not too difficult to ask 20th Century Fox to distribute it.  And the image of 20th Century Fox is not fixed on a certain type of movie. The movies they produce are of all types, which is much better than the narrow path of DreamWorks.  But Li Mingbao also felt that it was a loss to give the movie "Terminator" to 20th Century Fox.  You must know that although the movie "Terminator" did not make hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, its influence is not small. It is just a good thing to build reputation. It was given to 20th Century Fox in vain. In the beginning, it was  Without favors, for Li Mingbao, this is a loss-making business.  But when I think about it, it doesn¡¯t make any sense for DreamWorks to have such a reputation now.  After all, if the movie "Terminator" does not have the nod and prestige of a giant company, it may not be able to fall into your pocket. Only giant companies can handle these awards. With the foundation of DreamWorks, if you want to complete  ?Such a career is not easy.  So whether there is an award or not, the key actually depends on whether the distribution company behind it is strong, and it has no direct connection with the quality of the film.  ¡° If we really have to wait until DreamWorks builds its reputation, Li Mingbao might as well shoot ¡°Forrest Gump¡±. That thing is a powerful tool to build his reputation, and he will be eligible for the Oscar.  Not to mention other things, so these things are still too high-end for the current DreamWorks. Even for a company like DreamWorks, whether it can build its reputation is still a big problem.  After all, DreamWorks' main business is horror films, and the market for this type of film is indeed quite good, but its reputation in the mainstream world is definitely negative. No one wants alternative films like horror films to become mainstream.  society.  You can make money, but you can't earn fame properly.  After understanding this, Li Mingbao no longer resisted Mary's suggestion.  Besides, Mary's suggestions are really for Li Mingbao. Like Li Mingbao's initial plan to put "Terminator" in DreamWorks, the future prospects are not clear.  She is worthy of being a senior management talent. In such a short period of time, she was able to think of problems that even she, the initiator, had not thought of, and also came up with another brand new way out. It was indeed not easy.  Li Mingbao also understood the advantage of recruiting these people, that is, in terms of experience, they are definitely much better than himself.  Although Li Mingbao has countless experience in later generations, in terms of innovation, he does have a proud appearance.  But when it comes to specific planning, there is still a big gap compared with these old people.  Li Mingbao did obtain the memory of the big man, but he did not obtain the innate wisdom of the big man.  For things like wisdom, experience does not play a decisive role. The most important thing is talent. This is just like someone like Einstein. Even if you completely get his memory, the effect may not be very big, because his  Memory is just a gadget from the past. What really matters is his ability to innovate.  "As far as Hollywood is concerned now, Li Mingbao's future methods actually don't have much room to use here.  After all, although the entertainment industry of later generations on the mainland is still relatively developed, the things they play can basically be found in Hollywood of this era. Even the things they can¡¯t play, like behemoths like CAA, Hollywood at this time  Already appeared.  So now that Li Mingbao is in Hollywood, his biggest reliance is not on advanced experience, but on knowing the future direction.  To put it bluntly, the mainland entertainment industry in the new millennium may not be more advanced than the Hollywood entertainment industry in the early 1980s. It may be much worse, because the rules of the mainland entertainment industry at that time were not perfect. Compared with today  In the improvement of various industries in Hollywood, the gap is definitely not small.  Coupled with the background, if you want to rely on thirty years of advanced mainland experience to show your superiority in Hollywood, there will be no other way except to break your head.  When Li Mingbao was thinking about these things in his mind, Cameron looked at him nervously.  Although the boss Li Mingbao does appreciate his script, the problem is that two of Li Mingbao's important subordinates are clearly opposed to such a plan. For the boss Li Mingbao, the thoughts of his subordinates have to be considered, although there are still Mary behind him.  A compromise plan, but that plan was not so reliable in Cameron's eyes. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????? away  Although he was quite confident in his script, as everyone said, such a script was a bit ahead of today's Hollywood, and this was the main reason for rejection by the companies he contacted.  And now that this reason has been put on the table again, it would be strange if Cameron wasn't nervous.  After a while, Li Mingbao raised his head again, looked at Cameron and said: "To be honest, I personally appreciate your script quite a lot. But since Mary said that this movie has a negative impact on the image of DreamWorks,  It has side effects, so I decided that this movie will not be shot and distributed by DreamWorks. "So, Mr. Li, you refused to invest in my movie? I am very grateful to Mr. Li for explaining the script to me."  If there is hope, we can continue to cooperate in the future." Cameron said with some frustration after hearing Li Mingbao's words.  "No, I haven't finished speaking yet. Mr. Cameron, you don't have to be so anxious. What I mean is that this movie is not invested by DreamWorks, but it doesn't mean that I personally don't invest in this movie. Anyone who can come up with such a script  Character, I think Mr. Cameron has a very promising future in Hollywood. Whether it¡¯s about this script or you as a person, I have no reason not to invest in it.??As an independent investor in your film, you will be solely responsible for all film-related issues. If you need it, I will also introduce you to a brokerage company. This company is invested by me. As long as you need it,  There will be many people in the company serving you.  Not only in this movie, but also in other aspects, you will get considerable autonomy in the company.  And I can also find 20th Century Fox to distribute this movie for you. I believe that their company¡¯s strength will not bury your movie.  "Li Mingbao said.
