    As for the sudden rise of DreamWorks, not to mention Li Mingbao, a layman, who was surprised, even Jiang Zhiqiang, who manages DreamWorks, was also surprised.  Of course, John was also surprised. This is the reason why John wanted the European distribution rights of DreamWorks movies later, because he was not optimistic about Li Mingbao and DreamWorks before, but now that DreamWorks is famous in Hollywood, he also wants  Share the profits and have a win-win situation with Li Mingbao.  "But Li Mingbao and others have never figured out why unexpected things happened at DreamWorks, and John didn't understand either.  But now after hearing the words of Schwarzenegger, a bystander, Li Mingbao vaguely understood why DreamWorks' movies suddenly became popular.  ??The so-called bystanders know clearly, but the authorities are confused.  What I'm talking about is how Li Mingbao and the others treat DreamWorks. Schwarzenegger knew that the reason why DreamWorks was developing so rapidly was because of the quality of the movies. On the contrary, Li Mingbao and the others didn't think about it this way.  When Schwarzenegger pierced this window paper, Li Mingbao also understood.  The key lies in the quality of the film.  Before DreamWorks, it was not that there was no market for horror films, but the horror films produced by those film companies were quite perfunctory. Even the vampire films in Europe had very good box office results, but they did not really pay attention to them.  It's money-making, so the box office of the latter type of movies is tepid.  Similarly, there are horror films in Hollywood, but the market for horror films is not very big. The main consumer groups are in rural areas or on video tapes.  Why do horror movies sell more on video than in movie theaters?  If we explain it in terms of quality, it is easy to explain. Compared with the big screen in a movie theater, many subtle things will be displayed. Video tapes do not have that problem. With the current size of movies, it is difficult to see some subtle things.  , so horror movies look scarier on TV than on movie screens, and subtle flaws are completely invisible. This has also led to the fact that the mainstream market for horror movies in the European and American markets is on video tapes, not movies.  But now that DreamWorks has emerged, Li Mingbao has used horror films as a stepping stone for his company in Hollywood. In addition, the funds are relatively abundant, leaving enough funds for horror film directors to smooth things over.  In this way, the quality of the movies produced by DreamWorks is in sharp contrast to the perfunctory works of other companies.  For those who like horror movies, it is easier to be impressed by such quality-assured movies than those that are perfunctory.  This is the real reason why DreamWorks has occupied an important position in market share even though it has not been open for a long time. Coupled with the limitations of video tapes, it is easier to satisfy current moviegoers, which also makes DreamWorks' performance  There has been a rapid improvement.  ¡°In the final analysis, Li Mingbao¡¯s poaching of good directors is an important factor in the rise of DreamWorks, but the ample funding of DreamWorks movies is the real reason for the rapid development of DreamWorks movies. The two can be said to be indispensable.  After understanding this, Li Mingbao was also seriously thinking about the future path of DreamWorks.  Now that DreamWorks Movies has ample funds, the actions to ensure film quality must be implemented. On this point, we also need to say hello to Mary. She would rather have more funds than less funds, although this is inevitable and may be a bit wasteful.  , but abundant funds represent the quality of the film. Since he has such a good reputation, Li Mingbao naturally cannot let the reputation be destroyed in his own hands.  ¡°And what comes out of the mouths of people like Schwarzenegger also gives Li Mingbao a deeper idea about the Hollywood market.  Although he had previously talked about shooting a horror blockbuster at DreamWorks, and was recently writing the script for "Resident Evil", he had planned to leave the script for a while after finishing it, so he did not have to rush to release the movie immediately.  Photograph it.  The reason why we are not planning to shoot this movie right away is due to investment issues. The movie "Resident Evil" is a real big scene, which is fundamentally different from the current horror movies. If we shoot this movie now, it will be difficult for the market to respond.  grasp.  Another is that this movie requires the use of a lot of computer stunts. In this era when cheap Apple computers are still used, it is very difficult to do the stunts of the Resident Evil era, and the price is also quite high. Investment and  It's difficult to balance income. Even if he starts making technical reserves now, Li Mingbao feels that it will take at least a few years to really apply those special effects to movies.  So although he wrote the script, he didn't want to shoot it right away. Even in his mind, the earliest shooting time for this movie would not be in the 1980s, but at least in the early 1990s.  time, only then can the market be determined.  Writing the script now is just to confirm my original status.  ? ??Just about to shoot a horror blockbuster, as DreamWorks' first blockbuster, "Resident Evil" was not a good choice.  And among the scripts that Li Mingbao started to write, "Resident Evil" was not the only one. There were other scripts, such as "The Grudge" and "The Ring".  When it comes to the achievements of the Japanese in movies, apart from the most famous AV, horror movies are also their specialty, especially the movie "The Grudge". After being filmed in Japan, it was introduced to the United States to shoot a beautiful movie.  The version of "The Grudge" still achieved brilliant achievements, with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, which is enough to make people jealous.  Li Mingbao has always believed in appropriation of movies, so these two classic representative horror works, Li Mingbao must win them no matter what.  Moreover, these two movies are actually more like traditional horror movies than movies like "Resident Evil". Movies like "Resident Evil" should actually be classified as thriller movies or science fiction movies, and are not considered as such.  A horror movie in the traditional sense.  The most important thing is that Li Mingbao now wants to shoot a movie like "Resident Evil", but he cannot pass the cost and special effects threshold. It will be difficult to make such a movie in a short time.  However, from a technical point of view, there is no problem with movies like "The Grudge" and "The Ring" now. Even in terms of funding, they are not too much. At most, they are just as average as DreamWorks.  The cost of horror movies is a little higher, but they are not too outstanding.  And these two movies are the kind that can be filmed as sequels. It is not difficult to create a series of DreamWorks movies.  So these two movies were shot within eighty-three years without any trouble.  The United States and Europe are big markets, and Japan is an even bigger market. Li Mingbao knows how successful these two movies have been in Japan.  Even if the Japanese are not satisfied, Li Mingbao can make a special trip to Japan to film a Japanese version of "The Grudge" and "The Ring" for the Japanese, just like "Home Alone". For the sake of box office, Li Mingbao will definitely not  Be disciplined.  I believe that as long as these two movies are released in the United States, it will be even more difficult for other companies to challenge DreamWorks' position in the Hollywood horror film market. There is no reason why Li Mingbao can't do this lucrative business.  From Schwarzenegger¡¯s words, Li Mingbao extended it to the quality of the company¡¯s movies, and then thought about the company¡¯s movie scripts and what conditions are needed for various types of movies.  Although his brain can move faster than the speed of light, Li Mingbao had too many things on his mind during this period of time.  In the real world, after Schwarzenegger said those words, the investor Li Mingbao began to be in a daze, and his thoughts did not come back for a long time.  Schwarzenegger is not the kind of person who has a big head but no brains. Otherwise, he could be on the political stage as a movie actor in the future and achieve such good results. In the United States, his political achievements would be even better.  There is only one good person, and that is Reagan, the current president of the United States, who proposed Star Wars to directly bring down the Soviet Union.  So Schwarzenegger can have such achievements. As the second most political character among actors, he is a real big man and a great wisdom.  Seeing Li Mingbao lost in thought, he knew that Li Mingbao had new ideas while talking to him.  Although Schwarzenegger didn't know what Li Mingbao's new idea was for a while.  But it is obvious that Li Mingbao's thoughts only appeared after he said what he just said. In this way, no matter good or bad, Schwarzenegger left a deep impression in Li Mingbao's heart. For Schwarzenegger,  For Singer, this is definitely good news.  So Schwarzenegger did not interrupt Li Mingbao's thoughts rashly, but instead waited silently for Li Mingbao to come back to his senses.  He knew what to do to win the favor of others, which is one of the reasons why Schwarzenegger ended up being so amazing.  After a while, Li Mingbao came back to his senses and had a rough idea of ??his thoughts.  He saw Schwarzenegger in front of him, who had been happily chatting with him, but now he was drinking water out of boredom.  Li Mingbao said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry, Mr. Schwarzenegger, what you said just now touched me a lot, so I was a little distracted. I'm sorry. I hope it won't make you feel embarrassed."  "It doesn't matter, this is a normal thing. Occasionally, a word can touch someone in a special way, and later do amazing things because of these touches. Such things are not uncommon in the United States, although I have never encountered it before,  But it may be an honor for me to see you in your state now, Mr. Li. After all, not everyone can be touched by other people's words." Schwarzenegger smiled softly.  Hearing that Schwarzenegger didn¡¯t mind, Li Mingbao breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he originally chatted with Schwarzenegger to build a relationship, but he just lost his mind during the chat.?Obviously it will cause some bad effects.  But I didn¡¯t expect that Schwarzenegger was actually excusing himself, and also said some very reasonable words, which made him feel quite happy and avoided some unnecessary embarrassment.  Such a little expert in saving the situation is worthy of being a governor in the future.  Wisdom is indeed extraordinary.
