Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Li Mingbao did not directly say that he would not do any film business. This is good news for John. Although it will definitely be worse than when Li Mingbao was very productive before, he can still make some money.  As long as something is profitable, there is no need to think too much about other details.  Of course, in fact, Li Mingbao himself is not actually a productive person.  If another person had the opportunity like Li Mingbao, then ten movies a year would be considered a small number for him.  Only Li Mingbao, considering the issue of market share and the competitiveness of the film industry, found another way and made another choice.  As far as Li Mingbao is concerned, although his current status in the film industry is quite extraordinary, whether in North America, Hong Kong, East Asia, or in mainland China, when he is mentioned by others, he is usually a big shot in the film industry.  .  But really speaking, Li Mingbao, a big shot in the film industry, has actually produced less than ten films in total, and has indirectly influenced no more than thirty films.  With such a small number of movies, he has managed to create a reputation as a movie mogul. I have to say that Li Mingbao is quite strange.  Which other big shot in the film industry doesn't have at least hundreds of movies on hand?  Compared with them, Li Mingbao is just a newcomer. At most, he can be compared with the bosses of ordinary small and medium-sized film companies.  But although the number of Li Mingbao's movies is not large, the quality is quite extraordinary. It only took a few movies to reach his current status.  This kind of thing is completely incomparable to others. Of course, if the movies in DreamWorks are also included in Li Mingbao's head, then the gap between him and those movie bosses is not as huge as imagined.  But you must know that DreamWorks was established in the United States, and the film industry in the United States is not comparable to that of Hong Kong. With the prosperity of Hollywood, the rising tide lifts all boats, and the amount of DreamWorks is actually nothing.  In addition, it has been established for such a short period of time. Although DreamWorks now has the reputation of a large film company in Hollywood, its total output is actually about the same as those old small film companies.  Generally speaking, Li Mingbao, a movie tycoon, is actually quite qualified. He is not a pure filmmaker. But the effect Li Mingbao wants to achieve is not an ordinary movie tycoon.  The path you are taking now is your own choice.  If he had really followed the path of an ordinary film industry boss, then Li Mingbao might not be so stable and harmless now.  After all, if you have made many movies and the market is very good, to a certain extent, you are squeezing the market of other film companies. And things like this can easily cause some other conflicts.  But in a war of words, there will also be some competition in terms of strength. It is not that easy to make money safely.  Just like the real DreamWorks in later generations, their strength can be said to be quite strong. To a certain extent, those who joined DreamWorks have higher levels of personnel and capital than those old giants.  , not much different.  Speaking of background, it is definitely countless times better than Li Mingbao¡¯s DreamWorks background.  But why did such a dream factory go bankrupt in the end?  It¡¯s not because of their ability, but because they have blocked too many people¡¯s financial paths. The film companies they have created, whether they are giants or other large film companies, are squeezing them out intentionally or unintentionally, even if they have good results.  The films produced could not be sold at a good price, and capital could not circulate in a virtuous manner. In the end, the money earned was not as much as when working alone. Under such circumstances, those people naturally had no choice but to separate.  The situation at that time was that if DreamWorks could face one or two giants alone, it would not be difficult for them, and victory would definitely not be a delusion.  But it is a pity that what they were opposing at that time was not just one or two giant companies, but the equivalent of most of the Hollywood film industry. Under such circumstances, if they still win, then they will be the real leader of Hollywood.  King, giant companies will also have to retreat when they see them.  But the actual situation was not so good. In the end, DreamWorks disintegrated. It was not that DreamWorks was not strong enough, but mainly because its opponents were too strong.  Having learned this lesson, Li Mingbao understands that no matter how great his personal abilities are, they are nothing compared to the strength of the entire industry.  If you don¡¯t want to imitate the DreamWorks that have been criticized in history, then your own DreamWorks must not be able to go against the entire industry. This is the main reason why Li Mingbao is content to guard the horror film market.  In any industry, if anyone wants to make a lot of money, unless he really has the ability to monopolize, he will end up in a disastrous situation, and being besieged is inevitable.  In other words, after understanding this truth, after obtaining the start-up capital, Li Mingbao rarely touched movies himself.  It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t know how to make money from movies, but he understands that if he makes too much money by making movies,?, then in the end it will definitely make everyone in the world the enemy.  If you are happy for a moment, you should not think about being happy for the rest of your life, and you will always be guarded by others.  This kind of life is not what Li Mingbao wants.  With Li Mingbao¡¯s words, John felt a little better mentally.  As long as Li Mingbao does not completely withdraw from the industry, the impact on John will not be as huge as imagined. Besides, Li Mingbao said that he will not be frequently exposed to movies in the future, but he did not say that he will not be frequently exposed to TV programs in the future.  In this way, the relationship between Li Mingbao and 20th Century Fox is actually not as plain as imagined.  ¡°Even as long as the profits of the TV show are high enough, the relationship between them may even become closer.  Seeing that John's expression finally returned to normal, Li Mingbao continued: "Of course, my future path is to work in the entertainment service industry, but that doesn't mean that we will have fewer opportunities for cooperation in the future. There won't be too many movies, no.  It means there won¡¯t be too many TV programs. Compared to movies, TV programs don¡¯t require so much artistry, and they focus more on creativity, and creativity is something I¡¯d rather hand over to DreamWorks.  Quite a bit. I would say that as long as all the ideas I have come up with are completely perfected, the profits we will earn together will definitely not be much lower. It will be higher than the profits of movies.  It's not impossible. On this point alone, we have a sufficient basis for cooperation. Besides, when I went to the mainland some time ago, I also gained considerable benefits, and this benefit was just when we met.  It was something that I had thought about not long ago. This kind of thing should have been done a long time ago, but the timing was never right before, and now the mainland has finally opened its mouth. In this way, what we originally expected is  It can be realized. ""Is it related to the mainland?" Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John asked strangely. He didn't think of any cooperation with the mainland for a while.  Fortunately, John did not have Alzheimer's disease. After thinking about it for a while, he understood what Li Mingbao was talking about.  After understanding, John asked with some surprise: "Li, you mean, what we talked about a few years ago about using cheap film talents from the mainland? Has the policy in the mainland opened up? Is it so big?"  "How come I don't know about it?" John does have reason to be surprised. You know, this kind of thing is a big deal for the film industry, especially in a place with developed information like Hollywood. If it's on the mainland,  If there are relevant policies in place, it won't take long for Hollywood to know about it.  After all, the United States and mainland China are still in the honeymoon period. There is no reason for people in Hollywood not to know about things like this?  It¡¯s okay if the people below don¡¯t know, but people at the top of Hollywood like John don¡¯t know either, which is really strange.  Seeing John's appearance, Li Mingbao smiled and replied: "It's normal that you don't know about this issue. After all, although the mainland has liberalized relevant policies, in fact it has not really liberalized, but only a small amount of liberalization.  In your words, this is a special case because this open policy is limited to our company, and our company is the only channel and bridge.  , in fact, it is of no use. So you people in Hollywood don¡¯t know, and it¡¯s not surprising that only one company can do such a thing. Of course, it is not truly open, it is completely barrier-free communication.  , It doesn¡¯t have to be like this at all. Related things can only be opened through our company¡¯s channels.¡± ¡°Oh, my God. You mean that this project is not really open in mainland China.  And just licensing your company? This is simply unbelievable. This is a complete monopoly. It is really enviable that you have monopolized such a huge market in mainland China." John said sourly.  For things like monopoly, especially in the film industry, no one has more say than Hollywood.  Hollywood has enjoyed a monopoly in the European and American film markets for so many years. This is the real reason why they are so confident in competing with the Wall Street gang.  Even because the current President of the United States can be regarded as a person from Hollywood to a certain extent, these people in Hollywood have been quite nourished in recent years.  No one is jealous of the benefits of monopoly. Even in mainland China, where Li Mingbao currently has a monopoly, the market situation is not very good.  But that is enough to make any giant Hollywood company jealous. If the market is not good, it depends on the situation. If it is the entire Hollywood, then the mainland market is equivalent to being useless, but there is only one company.  Then even giant companies will be monopolized.???Benefit gives happiness to death.  At this time, John somewhat understood why Li Mingbao cared so much about the mainland market. If John had such an opportunity, the choice he made might not be any better than Li Mingbao.
