    Now that Li Mingbao has answered the last doubt, there is nothing unclear about Li Mingbao and 20th Century Fox.  Next, it¡¯s time to sign the contract.  For such a big thing as signing a contract, neither Li Mingbao nor Jiang Zhiqiang are strong in this aspect, so going to a law firm and finding a professional lawyer has become a problem that Li Mingbao and the others need to face now.  Fortunately, Li Mingbao and the others are working with Twentieth Century Fox. For such a large company, it has its own professional legal advisors.  Although it is impossible for Li Mingbao and the others to use 20th Century Fox's legal advisers to help them review the contract, Li Mingbao can ask these legal advisers to introduce some suitable personnel to him.  The person introduced will also serve Li Mingbao wholeheartedly, because his salary is given by Li Mingbao. For American legal professionals, whoever gives them money is their boss. Personal friendship is at work, not at work.  It will make a big difference.  After Li Mingbao and the others signed the contract, Justin arranged a dinner for Li Mingbao. After everyone was happy, Justin asked Li Mingbao in a roundabout way about the sequel of "Home Alone". It would be good for their company to continue to distribute.  , but a better way is for 20th Century Fox to buy the film rights of this series from Li Mingbao.  Originally, Justin didn¡¯t have high expectations for such an issue, because if this movie becomes popular, everyone will know that this is a gold mountain. Selling the gold mountain for money really does not fit Li Mingbao¡¯s shrewd image.  When he asked this, he actually asked other big bosses in the company. He did not expect that Li Mingbao would give him any good news.  "But Li Mingbao's answer surprised him. Li Mingbao actually said that as long as the price is right, there is nothing in the world that cannot be sold, including the European and American copyrights of the "Home Alone" series that he owns.  Of course, when discussing this issue, we must wait until the box office of the movie "Home Alone" is released before discussing it. If 20th Century Fox really needs it by then and offers a reasonable price, Li Mingbao will not consider it.  things.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????In the end, it turned out to be the biggest gain tonight. Justin didn't even bother to participate in the evening leisure activities, so he went straight back to the company and held meetings all night.  "Okay, Bob, you win. How did you know that Li Mingbao had the idea of ????selling out the rights to this series? And you asked me to ask?" Justin asked his boss in confusion.  "Actually, this question is very simple. Although Li Mingbao is very good at making movies, whether in Hong Kong or the United States, the movies he makes are very interesting. But I don't know if you have noticed that this guy from Asia  , is as shrewd as a businessman, and is not like ordinary film directors who only care about their own movies, rather than considering financial issues. In fact, there is a precedent for this matter, at least this guy is like this in Hong Kong.  I did. Didn¡¯t the Hong Kong film and television king, Shao Daheng, spend 100 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the copyrights from Li Mingbao? Why did Li Mingbao give up the copyrights in Asia? Didn¡¯t he know that these movies could be used for him?  To make more money? In fact, he sold the copyright without any regrets. The key is that the film and television king has a strong foundation in Hong Kong.  It¡¯s very difficult in Hong Kong. Although we at 20th Century Fox don¡¯t have as much power in Hollywood as that person does, it won¡¯t be difficult if we really want to get the copyright from Li Mingbao.  After all, this is Hollywood, and Li Mingbao has no foundation in Hollywood. If a movie like "Home Alone" that everyone is optimistic about is released, it is not something that a Hollywood newcomer like him can control. He does not have the ability to make this movie a success.  The film rights continue to be in hand. He is a very smart person, so he will make smart choices," Bob said without surprise.  Hearing Bob's explanation, Justin frowned and said: "Oh, damn monopoly, God will not forgive us! Of course, I like to do this. After all, I am also very optimistic about this movie. If this series of movies is really  It can be released by 20th Century Fox, which is definitely good news for this movie. At least such a wonderful series of movies will not have to worry about distribution. " "But we really have to wait for this movie to be released.  In the future, the price we pay may be very high," Bob said while holding a cigarette.  "As long as we can get the rights to this series of movies, what does it matter if it's a little higher? Anyway, if you can make money, you don't think that the guy you say is smart will be released in the movie."Should we sell the copyright beforehand?  If you are really worried about this problem, then we can do some tricks in the distribution so that the box office of this movie will not be too high.  Of course, this approach was foolish because the movie didn't do well at the box office and we ourselves suffered losses.  Therefore, now is the time for our company to exert its efforts. The higher the box office, the more it can prove the value of this movie.  Bob, you guys have been very busy these days.  "Justin said with a gloating smile. "The question and answer between Justin and Bob actually also happened on Li Mingbao's side. Jiang Zhiqiang also didn't understand why Li Mingbao wanted to sell the film rights of this series. But when Li Mingbao said something  : ¡°We are not qualified enough to own the rights to this series of movies.  "After that, Jiang Zhiqiang never asked such a question again. "If a small person wants to survive in front of an elephant, he can only lose his own interests while trying to minimize his losses. Wait until he has the strength.  , just to regain the lost face, and if you hold on to it, you will eventually die because of your interests. Hollywood movie giants have never been able to reach an agreement with Hollywood giants like 20th Century Fox.  For Li Mingbao, this is definitely good news. When 20th Century Fox has no Christmas movies to compete with, Li Mingbao's "Home Alone" has become their company's lifeline. Under such circumstances, 20th Century Fox.  Century Fox will naturally not be stingy with the channels they have been operating for many years. Not two days after Li Mingbao and the others signed the contract, the publicity for the movie "Home Alone" has already been overwhelming in the entire North American market. If Li Mingbao and Li Mingbao were to sign the contract.  Jiang Zhiqiang did the publicity himself, and even if they were beaten to death, they would not be able to achieve such a momentum. But for 20th Century Fox, such publicity is just normal. Because during the summer release, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" was released.  "This movie is making waves in the entire North American market, so this year's Christmas season is not too lively. Everyone is still recalling the ferocity of this movie, even though other film companies have also released their own films in the Christmas season.  movie, but they don¡¯t have high expectations because in their opinion, a large portion of this year¡¯s box office revenue will be taken away by ¡°Raiders of the Lost Ark.¡± Even if it¡¯s a Christmas movie, according to convention, there won¡¯t be any.  What a gain. After all, the movie market is only that big every year, and a big piece of meat is robbed. No matter how hard we try, there won't be much leftover. But when the movie "Home Alone" starts.  After the promotion, this situation became somewhat beyond the expectations of other Hollywood giants. Before, they had never thought that 20th Century Fox would suddenly emerge. They had never thought about the movie "Home Alone" before.  I don¡¯t know. But after the promotion of this movie, in some interviews about the movie, many Americans have great expectations for this movie, because this movie is really suitable for Christmas.  The theme. The means of publicity in the United States are not as scarce as in Hong Kong. Since 20th Century Fox wants to make a lot of money from this movie, it will naturally not be stingy in publicity, whether it is newspapers or TV.  Or radio stations, or even some places, like New York, 20th Century Fox, even use airships to promote things. As for things like advertising on the streets, there are many more methods of publicity.  The trailer of "Home Alone" directly caused this movie, which will be released in more than a month, to become a sensation throughout North America. The distribution capabilities of 20th Century Fox were fully revealed at this moment.  Not to mention Li Mingbao, even for companies in the United States, as long as they are not at the giant level, it is not easy to get so many publicity methods.  Seeing this situation, Li Mingbao couldn't help but gasped: "Their company is really willing to spend money. With so much publicity, even if they have old relationships and old channels, they have to spend a lot of money. There is still a month before the movie is released."  I don¡¯t know how much publicity they will spend when it is released.¡± Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s words, Jiang Zhiqiang was also shocked by 20th Century Fox¡¯s publicity capabilities, but still replied: ¡°No matter how they promote it,  It doesn¡¯t cost us a dime. The wool comes from the sheep. If they promote it like this, it proves that they are really optimistic about this movie. They have completely raised this movie to the same level as their other top-notch movie distribution methods.  . Now I think that although it is not easy to deal with Fox in the 20th century, and it is weak, it is equivalent to earning after the business is really talked about.  No Hollywood giant can do better than 20th Century Fox.Our cooperation is really a win-win situation.  "
