    Although Li Mingbao himself does not want to continue making movies of this type, people in Hollywood do not know it. They think that Li Mingbao has opened up this new field and is preparing to make a fortune.  I have no idea that Li Mingbao¡¯s purpose of shooting this movie was not just for the movie, but for the director who shot the movie.  The guy who dares to call himself the king of the world, no matter how arrogant he is, he does have such strength and has made so many blockbuster movies. His current value is higher than that of George Lucas. For  With such a person, Li Mingbao feels confident investing.  Not to mention that he will be fully invested in Titanic in the future. As long as he can catch up with this line, then Li Mingbao will make a profit. What's more, Cameron is not only making money from this one movie, there will be more in the future.  Although his output of movies is not high, each one is very profitable. For such a director, if you help him when he debuts, his subsequent gains will definitely not be small.  This is the real reason why Li Mingbao is so generous to let Cameron preside over everything. Besides, even for the movie "Terminator", his value is quite ideal and worthy of Li Mingbao's investment. With so many benefits, Li Mingbao  You would be a fool not to invest.  But investing in this type of movie does not mean that Li Mingbao wants to go deep into this type of movie. He just likes the people, not the type.  With the current level of strength in Hollywood, it is obviously not strong enough to make a movie of this type well, and he does not want to go into this muddy water at all.  Unexpectedly, he could achieve such a harvest by accident. Li Mingbao was almost bursting into laughter.  Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, the situation was not right now, so Li Mingbao pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "John, don't tell me, I really didn't think about this problem. Now I hear what you say.  , it seems that the matter is more serious. So what do you think I should do? If this movie is really successful, it means that this type of movie is indeed very profitable, but with so much fanfare now, it seems like there is a future for me.  I have also lost the qualification to compete. John, can you still help us with DreamWorks on behalf of 20th Century Fox? If so, I will have some confidence that our two companies will cooperate in filming this type of project.  Movies, at least now, Cameron is in our hands. Even if others want to step in, without Cameron, they will have to cultivate others. Unless they can ask George Lucas to take action, otherwise, at least for a short time  We won¡¯t have any opponents during the year, what do you think?¡± John originally thought that Li Mingbao had some good ideas, but he didn¡¯t expect that Li Mingbao would actually say such a thing, dragging down their 20th Century Fox company, and want to join forces to take it.  This huge market.  This decision was a bit beyond John's expectation. He had no idea that Li Mingbao would come up with such an idea.  So after thinking for a while, John said with a wry smile: "If it were other types of movies, maybe we could succeed. After all, we at 20th Century Fox are not vegetarian, but now that it has attracted the attention of so many companies, and  They have all made their bets, so no matter what, we at 20th Century Fox and you, DreamWorks, don¡¯t have the ability to take it. Besides, even if this type of movie has great benefits, it also has barriers to entry.  It's also quite high. At least in Hollywood, no company that can really make up its mind to enter this type of film is easy to mess with. After all, with the current hardware conditions, it takes a lot of effort to make this type of film well.  The cost is quite high. Even if your movie is a low-budget movie among science fiction movies, the biggest expense is in the aspect of robots. As for other things, the cost pressure is much smaller.  To produce some big scenes, a few million dollars is not enough. The investment scale must reach at least tens of millions. Such a huge investment can be regarded as an A-level production in Hollywood. Not every company has such courage and can  To make a movie like this, let alone you and our company, even a giant company is not enough. If you want to block this type of movie, no company can do it.  As you know the recent situation of our company, Twentieth Century Fox, we need to deal with Murdoch's acquisition and the integration of internal strength. Small movies do not put a lot of pressure on our company, but big movies like this are very important to our company.  It is very troublesome to say that our strength is not enough to be able to achieve a certain level of glory in the television field. If we also want to succeed in movies, unless our company is as rich as Disney, it is not short of money.  Lord, otherwise, it is impossible to do it at all. Even Disney is under great pressure when facing dual investment." After hearing John's explanation, Li Mingbao opened his eyes.The player said: "So, no matter how we choose, the result is actually the same. If that's the case, then why do we choose him? We are all being targeted and have no strength. How can you  It¡¯s simply impossible to ask them to withdraw. If you, 20th Century Fox, can¡¯t handle something, do you still want us to come out and do something? This is simply a joke. If they want to enter, they can enter.  , anyway, we don¡¯t have the strength to retain this business. When they make money, they will get some benefits from selling us. After all, as a pathfinder, I have made a certain contribution to them. If I hadn¡¯t gone to Lei, I think  It is not easy to find such a suitable candidate. It is not an ordinary difficulty to get possession of wealth that does not belong to me, especially in Hollywood, where there is no ability to resist.  Just let them in. At least when the Terminator movie is released, I will get some benefits from them. I will talk about the future later. At worst, I will go back to filming horror movies. Anyway, I will make money, and they will make their own money.  I just make my little money. Only by understanding each other can we make better money for ourselves, don¡¯t you think so, John?¡±  , after all, everyone can see the effect of Star Wars. Even without you, the film market of this type will be developed sooner or later. In this case, it is meaningless no matter how you care about it, Mr. Li.  Come on, if it were another person who heard such news, he would have done something about it," John flattered with a smile.  In fact, for Li Mingbao to give up so easily, John's heart was not as peaceful as it seemed.  You know, Li Mingbao's status in Hollywood is quite extraordinary now. Although he is not a local, after all, the foundation of DreamWorks is not fake. In addition, Li Mingbao also has abundant capital. If he really wants to make some noise,  , the giants in Hollywood will definitely not underestimate it.  In a capital society, capital is the only power.  Li Mingbao's ability to make money is obvious to everyone, and his vision also attracts the attention of many people in the upper class.  The current Li Mingbao is not a newcomer who has just arrived in Hollywood. Such a person, even if he is a foreigner, his energy cannot be underestimated.  If everyone really confronts each other, although the local giants in Hollywood are confident and are not afraid of Li Mingbao overthrowing them all, after all, confrontation will always cost money.  What do you do in this industry?  Isn't it just for money?  Going up against a powerful person for nothing, just for a project that is not yet certain, is not a good thing for any giant company.  Now that Li Mingbao is so generous, it is a good thing for anyone. At least John is very happy.  As long as Li Mingbao does not treat science fiction movies as his new taboo in the American film industry, then everything is fine. If Li Mingbao really wants to operate the science fiction movie genre as a horror movie genre, everyone will be in real trouble.  In recent years, many companies have entered the horror film market. However, DreamWorks, which has a dominant position in the horror film market, has made great efforts to deal with those companies that have crossed the line, whether they are small companies or giants.  The company, in this type of movies, has suffered a lot from DreamWorks.  But since the overall share of niche films is not very large, and this type of film is not mainstream, and there is still a conservative company standing there, any sensible person will understand that they want to compete with DreamWorks.  Money is not that easy.  Therefore, in the recent half year, in the horror movie market, horror movies shot by large or giant movie companies have been quite rare. This is acknowledgment that Li Mingbao dominates this type of movies and does not want to cause trouble for his own company.  Li Mingbao is more or less aware of these things, so now he simply retreats to advance, ostensibly using his limited involvement in the science fiction film market to ensure his dominance of the horror film market.  But secretly, he used a fleshy bone that he had no idea about to get those evil wolves outside his door.  Without having to pay anything, I have gained the real recognition of others in vain. From now on, as long as DreamWorks does not commit suicide, then the American horror film market, and even the European horror film market, will be Li Mingbao.  place.  Although this movie market is a niche market, as long as the quantity is large enough and the benefits of monopoly are included, the benefits that can be obtained are actually not much less than the profits of those giant companies.  No matter how you look at it, Li Mingbao has made a profit by throwing away a piece of useless stuff and getting something that will strengthen his position.  As for whether other companies will know about Li Mingbao¡¯s statement, Li Mingbao is completelyDon't worry, with a mouthpiece like John, Li Mingbao doesn't believe those companies don't know Li Mingbao's statement.
