Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Of course, what Li Mingbao is talking about in the post-production period is not that the post-production of the film itself was not done well. In fact, the filming of this film was completed last year, and even the final film was produced.  The reason why it was not done well is largely due to Li Mingbao himself. At that time, he simply did not have time to come to the United States, so the movie "Terminator" has no hope of being released until now.  If it is an ordinary movie, it does not matter if investors are not available, as long as it can be released normally.  With Li Mingbao's channels and connections, it is actually a very simple matter to get such a movie released in the United States. Both DreamWorks itself and 20th Century Fox have enough connections to arrange this matter  Well done.  Therefore, Li Mingbao's presence or absence is essentially not a big problem.  But the key is that the movie "Terminator" is now being made by Cameron, the truck driver, too far ahead of its time.  Even in the 1990s, it would not look backward.  No one dares to guarantee that such an advanced movie will hit the streets and make money. Not every movie can be as lucky as Star Wars. Even that movie, when it was released, the company behind them was full of money.  Cold sweat, I'm afraid something went wrong, otherwise, George Lucas wouldn't be able to take advantage of the peripherals. If the film company is really confident, then they will definitely understand how profitable the peripherals of this movie will be.  And for businessmen, if there is money to be made, they have to push it out. Isn't that completely unreasonable?  Therefore, when Star Wars was released, the studios were nervous.  When "Terminator" was released, Cameron was also very nervous.  Originally, a finished film was to be shot according to the plan in the script, so Cameron had some explanation, but the problem was that during the filming, because of Li Mingbao's delegation of power, he achieved the effect of "Terminator" for a period of time.  Extreme, such an extreme movie, even if it fails at the box office, will make the director famous in an instant.  This is a good thing for Cameron, but for investor Li Mingbao, it may not be a good thing.  So when Li Mingbao saw the sample film, he asked Cameron and others to hype up the topic of "Terminator" first, and then publish novels and other topical things first, and then release the movie.  Although the cost will increase, if the effect of the novel is good, then the release of "Terminator" will be much safer. Li Mingbao said so, and Cameron and others did the same.  In the year of 1984, the topic of the movie "Terminator" has never stopped, and the American public has also accepted the settings of The Terminator. In the middle of the year, there were some things that were bothering about the Terminator.  The shackles of the author have actually disappeared.  The movie was originally supposed to be released at that time.  But Li Mingbao was not in the United States at that time, and he could not come to the United States for several months.  In this way, the only way to show this movie is to let Li Mingbao control it remotely, and he will never be able to be there.  I can't believe that although Cameron was very bold when making movies, he seemed very cautious when it came to showing them.  Although Li Mingbao told him before that the movie can be released at any time as long as he needs it.  But Cameron didn't want to bear such a big burden, so he would rather wait until Li Mingbao came to the United States before starting to release the movie, rather than have the order to release the movie come from his mouth.  Ą°As a result, this period has been delayed until now. Fortunately, Li Mingbao will come to the United States at this time, otherwise, we still donĄŻt know when the Terminator will be released.  Cameron's resentment towards Li Mingbao, the hands-off boss, is really not that small.  This movie is his first independent film. A man who has not yet become the king of the world will always feel uneasy in one way or another when facing his first time, and his first time  This time, it was delayed for almost more than a year because of Li Mingbao's delay. If Cameron didn't feel resentful about such a thing, he would really be damned.  But this result was something he brought upon himself. Li Mingbao did not stop him from letting the movie be released, so Cameron's mood was quite contradictory.  But fortunately, the movie has finally arrived. Not only has CameronĄŻs appetite been aroused by the box office, but the emotions of North Americans who have read books related to "Terminator" have also been aroused.  Having such results can be considered a good thing for Li Mingbao. After all, Christmas time is not prepared for this type of movie. Now that it can arouse the emotions of so many people, what about the box office and so on?  There is some guarantee.  Emotional arousal is emotional arousal. Although this movie was promoted vigorously, there were not too many bells and whistles at the premiere.  After all, the producers of this movie, the director, actors and other people related to the movie are not famous people. If the standards are too high, it will not be a good thing.  Although DreamWorks also hasIt may not be famous, but DreamWorks' reputation has always been for horror movies. Naturally, such a mainstream manufacturer of niche movies cannot promote it too much, otherwise it may not be that good to people's senses.  So doing things in a high profile and being a low-key person is the route this movie should take.  We canĄŻt invite too many people from outside. WeĄŻll only have a few famous celebrities who come to meet the occasion, and then itĄŻll be the normal audience.  Although Li Mingbao also attended the premiere ceremony, he was not too arrogant and went directly into the box. It's not that Li Mingbao didn't want to be in the spotlight, but Li Mingbao really didn't have much fame here in the United States.  Many people know his name, but the vast majority of people in the middle and lower classes in the United States have no idea what Li Mingbao does.  In this way, even if you want to be in the limelight, you have nowhere to go.  In fact, Li Mingbao was not the only one in the box. John also came to watch the premiere of the movie. Li Mingbao originally invited John, which meant that he never thought that John would actually come, but he did not expect that John would actually come.  Accidents always happen inadvertently. Regarding Li Mingbao's invitation, John was actually quite generous and agreed without any hesitation.  So after Li Mingbao and the others sat in the box, they started chatting.  "The quality of this movie is quite good. I watched the finished film before, and this guy named Cameron is really good at it. The movie he shot is quite good, especially on this subject. I think in terms of details,  ItĄŻs better than Star Wars, and itĄŻs more sci-fi. It fits the theme of a movie like this. If I had known that this movie would be so good, I should have had a hand in it when the project was first proposed.Ą± John looked at it with a smile.  Looking at Li Mingbao on the side, he said.  "For professionals like us, this movie is indeed worth watching. Even if it has a fairly high-end reputation in the American film industry, I wouldn't find it too strange. But such an evaluation is only a professional one after all.  According to the reviews, itĄŻs not clear yet how much the public recognizes such movies. You Americans are actually quite conservative when it comes to movies. Most people donĄŻt like to watch more alternative movies.  movie. Otherwise, horror movies wouldn't be called niche. Although The Terminator is not a horror movie, it is considered quite different by ordinary people's definitions, so this movie's evaluation and actual box office revenue.  , there wonĄŻt be too close a connection, and maybe it wonĄŻt be such a big surprise if the box office loses money. I donĄŻt believe you, John, could not see this situation. If I really wanted to get you to invest, you would.  The chance of watching this movie is quite low. In fact, even I am still trembling when I see this movie. I donĄŻt know what the final box office will be like.  Breaking my undefeated streak, it can be regarded as an example of my first failure in investing in the film industry." Li Mingbao said naturally after hearing John's words.  "If you release this movie as soon as it is shot, the risk will indeed be very high. For a movie like this, people who like it will definitely like it very much, but people who don't like it will definitely dislike it.  The polarization will be very serious. The audience in the middle segment should be much smaller than that of ordinary movies. Even people in the industry will definitely not be optimistic about this movie. But fortunately, you have found a new way in the movie.  After the filming was completed, I was not in a hurry to release the movie. Instead, I spent a lot of money to create peripheral books and other things as publicity, and then used publicity to let everyone know about this Quanxing setting.  , although the cost has increased a lot, but in terms of actual effect, I think it should not be too bad. After all, it has been promoted for almost a year, and everyone is familiar with this setting, plus you come from time to time.  A little promotional video was released, which whetted everyone's appetite. Even people who didn't care about the movie at first will become interested in it because everyone is talking about it. So I think this is the reason.  The movie's box office is not that risky. Even if the movie becomes a pioneer, the profit it can bring you will be even higher. In addition, the movie itself is very high.  It has characteristics, is not a bad movie, has no problem with quality, and has enough popularity. Even if you want to lose money, it is difficult. At most, it is a matter of making more or less. I know better than you about the popularity of this movie.  There are even some film companies in Hollywood that have already started planning to make this type of movie before your movie is released. "As a very important person in the Hollywood film industry, he can naturally watch it.  How big is the potential of this movie? Li Mingbao has done so many things. To say that Li Mingbao is right for the audience??Without any ambition, it's just a joke.  Since John said this, Li Mingbao stopped talking about meaningless topics.  His words may deceive a layman, but for an expert like John, they don't work at all.  Being too modest is not a good thing in America.  So Li Mingbao acquiesced to John's words. Anyway, now that the movie is released, the results will be completely clear in a month.
