    But even if those American reporters speculated, the answer they gave was that Li Mingbao's profit from this movie would definitely be no less than 50 million US dollars.  It is not surprising that they have such speculation.  You must know that the distribution company that cooperates with Li Mingbao is 20th Century Fox, one of the film giants in Hollywood.  Judging from the global box office of this movie, it must be at least 400 million US dollars, exceeding the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark".  As investors in movies, Li Mingbao is luckier than George Lucas, because they can only get box office dividends, director dividends, etc., but since they have no money to invest in movies, their dividends are far from comparable to Li Mingbao's.  .  If the box office is 400 million U.S. dollars, then the theater chain may be able to get almost 100 million U.S. dollars. The remaining 300 million U.S. dollars will definitely be taken by 20th Century Fox.  The money was also taken away. It is not surprising that Li Mingbao received 50 million US dollars by virtue of his dual status as the film's producer and investor.  And once this speculation comes out, there is a huge market in the United States.  The newspapers in Hong Kong basically reported this speculative data as exact data.  Before Li Mingbao returned home, he did not disclose the news about this matter on the phone. Therefore, whether it was outside or at home, everyone tended to think of the figure of 50 million US dollars in terms of the money Li Mingbao earned.  Fifty million US dollars is considered a very good income in the United States, but in Hong Kong, it is even more impressive.  That's a total of 400 million Hong Kong dollars, earned back from just such a movie.  In comparison, Shaw Brothers' Chu Wan Wan has nothing to be proud of in front of Li Mingbao.  Since Li Mingbao has been away from Hong Kong for most of the year, the people at home brought Li Mingbao a lot of things that Li Mingbao likes to eat at the reception banquet when he came back. Half of the dishes on the table were Li Mingbao's favorites, and they didn't care what Li Mingbao ate.  Since he couldn't eat that much, he put vegetables into Li Mingbao's bowl desperately after it was served. He didn't stop for a while until the bowl was full.  It¡¯s been a long time since he had food at home, and Li Mingbao missed it very much, so after toasting and drinking, Li Mingbao started to eat big without caring about other things.  Li Mingbao's life in the United States is indeed very enjoyable. As long as he needs it, the future star of that prosperous town can get as much as he wants for a hundred dollars.  When it comes to having fun, Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t have to worry about it. As long as he wants to have fun, whether it¡¯s a bar or other places, there will be something that Li Mingbao is satisfied with. In terms of accommodation, Li Mingbao has never treated himself badly. In such a big villa, Li Mingbao¡¯s bedroom alone,  It is more than 200 square meters, and there are separate bathing facilities inside.  In other aspects, it is not a problem if you have money in the United States, but eating is a troublesome matter.  Although Li Mingbao himself is not very picky about food, whether it is a burger, a sandwich, or a French meal, as long as the taste is not too strange, Li Mingbao can swallow it.  But being able to eat something doesn¡¯t mean that Li Mingbao likes it very much. In the United States, there are indeed many Chinese-owned restaurants, but their tastes tend to be Western. Li Mingbao would rather eat sandwiches than eat the food they make.  That thing.  Now that he is back home and seeing the truly delicious food, Li Mingbao has to make up for all the food he didn¡¯t eat there.  Seeing Li Mingbao¡¯s appearance, the topic that other people in the family had intended to bring up was also eliminated.  Anyway, Li Mingbao is home now. If he has any questions, he can wait until after dinner to ask them. There is no need to rush for that little time.  After working for half an hour, Li Mingbao and his family were finally full. After removing the food, all the men in Li Mingbao's family took out Li Mingbao's filial cigars and lit them. After a while, the living room was filled with smoke.  .  After everyone was seated, Li Mingbao began to talk in detail about his experience in Hollywood over the past six months.  When he first started in the United States, his experience during that period was certainly very dull, so dull that Li Mingbao only brushed it off.  What Li Mingbao is talking about is that after the filming of "Home Alone" was completed, he was preparing to release it. He had a war of words with 20th Century Fox, coupled with advertising all over North America. After that, the movie became a hit, and Li Mingbao became an American.  Famous people.  By the time Li Mingbao finished talking about his experience in the United States, more than an hour had passed. This was because Li Mingbao had deliberately omitted some less important news. He only talked about it for so long.  For other family members who don¡¯t know much about the movie, the negotiations between Li Mingbao and 20th Century Fox didn¡¯t give them much impression. Including the division of income, they didn¡¯t know how to calculate it. As the saying goes, every other line is like every other line.? There are many people in the Li family who are good at settling accounts, but they really don¡¯t understand the form of this division.  But Li Mingbao¡¯s second brother Li Minghui is a person in the industry. He understands how important a company like 20th Century Fox is in the United States.  Li Mingbao and Jiang Zhiqiang actually single-handedly won such a favorable contract in front of such a giant, which really opened Li Minghui's horizons.  "Xiaowu, I think the most important factor for your success this time is Jiang Zhiqiang. Such talents are simply rare in Hong Kong. You can have such a person to assist you in Hollywood. It's really you  Luck. You must make good use of such a person. Only if you are willing to spend money can the cooperation between you last long. "How are you going to reward him this time when "Home Alone" becomes a hit?" Li Minghui asked.  "Second brother, do you think I'm someone who can't bear to leave you? If it weren't for his help in "Home Alone" this time, I wouldn't even know which way to open the door of Twentieth Century Fox, so don't worry, I won't  I will treat him badly. Once the box office share of this movie is in my hands, I will give him 1% of the dividend, so that he will never say anything about other American movies in the future.  Five percent, if it¡¯s a big production like this movie, I¡¯ll give him one percent. Once it becomes a routine, I don¡¯t believe he can run away,¡± Li Mingbao said confidently.  Hearing what Li Mingbao said, the second brother Li Minghui felt that Li Mingbao was kind enough, but his father didn¡¯t know what the one percent share was, so he felt that Li Mingbao was a bit stingy.  Say whatever comes to mind. Li Guangxin is definitely the one who keeps his word at home: "Since you all think this person is very important, Xiaowu, why don't you give him 1% of the dividends, or take the dividends from your side? Isn't that right?"  Isn¡¯t it a bit less? After all, giving 5% is not too much. If you want the horse to run, you have to give it good grass. ¡± Hearing this from his father.  Li Mingbao was a bit dumbfounded when he said this: "Dad, do you know how much one percent of this dividend is? Just say that I gave less. Let alone one percent, even one thousandth, it is definitely not a  It's a small amount. " "Xiao Wu is right, one percent is indeed a lot. According to Xiao Wu's estimate, the global box office of this movie can reach about 500 million US dollars. Of this, 500 million US dollars.  The theater chain's money is almost 1.5 billion US dollars. Xiaowu and 20th Century Fox can divide the remaining 350 million US dollars. According to their 40-60 split method, 20th Century Fox can split 20 million US dollars.  At 100 million U.S. dollars, excluding some issuance investment, they can basically make a net profit of more than 100 million U.S. dollars, and the money in Xiaowu's hands is 140 million U.S. dollars, giving Jiang Zhiqiang 100%.  The dividend is equivalent to 1.4 million US dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, that would be 11.2 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost as much as the total box office of the movie "Junior Brother".  Jiang Zhiqiang just helped Xiao Wu with the distribution of the movie. He has definitely made a lot of money. There is no reason not to agree. If I give you 5% according to what you said, dad, do you know how much it will be?  A total of 56 million Hong Kong dollars. This amount of money can buy more than half of Jiang Zhiqiang's family's Anle Theater.  "Whether Jiang Zhiqiang will work so hard in the future is another question. Once you have money, you will naturally slack off. It is better to keep the water flowing, which will be a good thing for Xiaowu and Jiang Zhiqiang."  Li Minghui opened his mouth and explained.  "What, how come there is so much money? Didn't it say that the money Xiao Wu earned was more than 50 million US dollars? How come Xiao Wu now has 1.5 billion US dollars?" Li Guangxin said in a daze.  Not to mention Li Guangxin, even Li Minghui, who calculated this number, was feeling dizzy at this time.  His algorithm was absolutely correct, so Li Mingbao really made so much money. Thinking about how much money Li Mingbao could make by staying in Hollywood for half a year, Li Minghui felt that he seemed to be doing very well in Hong Kong during the six months.  There is absolutely no way to show off the future.  "My second brother is right. This time I am in the United States. As long as nothing happens, I will basically be able to get a dividend of 1.4 billion US dollars. And when the movie box office comes out, my money will be more than that. 2  Tenth Century Fox is interested in buying the European and American rights to my "Home Alone" movie series. As long as I sell this copyright, I can earn at least 100 million U.S. dollars, or even 200 million U.S. dollars alone.  If my income from this movie is converted into Hong Kong dollars, then my income from one movie is more than one billion Hong Kong dollars." When Li Mingbao explained, he couldn't help but feel intoxicated.  In ?Not only are there all kinds of inconveniences after working so hard to make movies in Hong Kong, but with the money in hand, the two movies combined, and the Asian rights sold outside, the income from Li Mingbao is only more than 2  billion Hong Kong dollars.  ¡°But making a movie in the United States requires a relatively large investment, but in terms of revenue, it is only 800 miles behind the box office revenue in Hong Kong.  Just from one movie, not counting the copyright of the movie, Li Mingbao's income is more than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.  The gap between them is simply unimaginable.
