    Early the next morning, Li Mingbao got up early. Since everyone was asked to gather at Shaw Brothers today, if he, the protagonist, arrived very late, it would undoubtedly ruin the atmosphere.  Although as a big boss he is qualified to be late, Li Mingbao understands that now is not the time for him to show off, and what is in front of him is not a broad road.  Although he has a good script and good actors, the number of people who want to see his jokes is definitely not a small number in Hong Kong. At least the sixth uncle and the sixth aunt will not like him to continue to succeed. Of course, it does not matter if he succeeds.  But after all, the sixth uncle and the sixth aunt didn't like Li Mingbao being too dazzling.  Although Boss Lei seemed to be on his side after the last incident, how could the boss's thoughts be made clear just by expressing his position once or twice?  Facing such people, only your continuous success will make them recognize the reality, and now Li Mingbao's filming is a good opportunity for them to recognize the reality.  As for Jiahe, although it seems harmonious now, they may not have other intentions.  After all, Li Mingbao has been very popular in the past two years, and he is still an insider. Although they have been given some benefits, the fact that Li Mingbao is out to grab jobs cannot be changed no matter how many benefits are given, unless Li Mingbao is willing to go to a certain place.  Hanging out in a company.  But in that case, it will inevitably break the current power of the Hong Kong film industry. If Shaw Brothers has Li Mingbao, then Shaw Brothers movies and Shaw Brothers Cinemas will have great changes. It is not said that they can turn losses into profits, but at least they will not be able to turn losses into profits.  It will make Uncle Liu continue to bleed, which can be regarded as making a profit.  "And if Li Mingbao joins Princess Jin, Princess Jin's attack power will be stronger. With Lei Juekun, an ambitious boss, only God knows what kind of disturbances he will make.  Even if Li Mingbao joins Golden Harvest, Boss Zou will be more confident, and he will have further development in both the Hong Kong film industry and Hollywood.  Therefore, Li Mingbao is a shaker for the current Hong Kong film industry. For the Hong Kong film industry that is accustomed to the status quo, people like Li Mingbao who are difficult to control are actually not that popular. Although the Hong Kong film industry  His background is not very deep, and one external factor can cause many things. But for people who are content with the status quo, any external factors will not be welcomed. Boss Lei has suffered enough from this.  When Xinyi City was established, he was often held back by other people, so even if he had a theater chain in his hands, he would sometimes have to compromise.  This also made New Art City unable to wait to get back the face it had lost before it gained a firm foothold, and gained a prestigious reputation.  Like Mecca Shitian, they may not understand that too much is too little, but the problem is that Xinyi City is already attached to Princess Jin, and Boss Lei¡¯s opinion is the most important.  For an ambitious person, going too far is nothing, and dominating the world is what he likes to see.  But it's a pity that Boss Lei has good intentions, but his health is not in good shape. His health collapsed just a few days after his good days.  As soon as Boss Lei fell, New Art City became a target. Boss Lei's grudges were still blamed on New Art City. In the end, even if Mecca and the others wanted to end things peacefully, it was impossible for them to end peacefully. In the end, they had no choice but to fall.  Under everyone's bayonet, Xinyi City has become a passing thing.  Now Li Mingbao has a better start than Boss Lei, but Li Mingbao makes money so fast that people who originally didn't value Li Mingbao start to take him seriously. So although he has a good start, he is now facing more pressure than Boss Lei has ever experienced.  And nothing less.  Boss Lei still has a theater chain and a film company to support him, so he can barely cope with the pressure no matter how great it is.  But Li Mingbao now needs theater chains but no theater chains, and talent but no talent. He only has the advantage of abundant capital.  Although having money can make others wary of Li Mingbao and fear that Li Mingbao will throw money at his head, the threat is not very strong.  As long as Li Mingbao starts spending money in Hong Kong, other people will have ways to deal with Li Mingbao.  This is the fundamental reason why Li Mingbao still does not open a company and films in his own name.  Six uncles and six aunts, Zou Wenhuai and even boss Lei don't mind that Li Mingbao uses his personal name to make money in Hong Kong, because they can't resist it.  But if Li Mingbao opens a film company, the nature will change.  Because Li Mingbao opened a film company, it means that Li Mingbao has plans to establish a foundation in Hong Kong. It is enough for three big bosses to share such a large area. Adding another Li Mingbao will form a four-nation struggle for hegemony. It is really not for everyone.  Hope to see the situation.  Therefore, Li Mingbao, who understands the depth of the situation, can only film in his own name because he does not yet have the capital to dominate Hong Kong.  If you want to build your own foundation now, not only will a lot of money be wasted on fighting in the Hong Kong circle, but it will also be conducive to making more money.  There is no source behind itThe continuous investment of money, and the capital Li Mingbao has now, is at best a flash in the pan. It looks good, but it doesn't last long.  Instead of building a foundation and letting everyone take action against you, it would be better to threaten with money and make more money as you are doing now.  When funds accumulate to a certain level, even if other people are not willing to accept you, they have to give in for the sake of money.  When he arrived at Shaw Brothers, Li Mingbao realized that he was not the first one to arrive. Wu Yusen had even arrived earlier than him.  Seeing Li Mingbao get out of the car, Wu Yusen immediately stepped forward to say hello.  Li Mingbao is obviously his noble man, and this is also Wu Yusen¡¯s turnaround. It¡¯s not so strange that Wu Yusen is so attentive.  After both parties had finished talking about boring topics, Wu Yusen started to talk about serious matters.  "Li Sheng, I have almost seen the plot of this drama, and Li Sheng, you have also found the leading actor, but it is not easy to shoot this drama, which requires the cooperation of many people. And Li Sheng, you are now working with TVB  The situation is not very good. Will there be any surprises when filming? " "Accidents? Even though this is Shaw Brothers' territory, the relationship between me and TVB will not lead to that.  At this point, even if the sixth uncle and the sixth aunt want to see a joke, it will have to happen after the movie is played. As for now, there is no need to think about these issues. What you need to consider is actually how to make the movie good.  Staff, if you have any requests, just ask. Whether it¡¯s people from Shaw Brothers, people from Jiahe, or people from Xinyi City, I can handle whatever you need. But I have it.  One requirement is that you must make this movie well. For me, it doesn't matter even if this movie fails. Although it won't be easy to make it in Hong Kong by then, I have money, so I can develop even if it's not easy.  But you are different. You have been sitting on the bench in Jiahe for so many years. If you don't show results this time, it will be much more difficult for you to get along in Hong Kong than me." Li Mingbao said.  Li Mingbao¡¯s words are quite polite. If Wu Yusen does not make this movie well, it will not only be difficult for Wu to get involved, it will be equivalent to Wu Yusen having no place to earn a living in the Hong Kong film industry.  You know, Li Mingbao's two previous movies shot in Hong Kong were very successful and broke Hong Kong's box office records.  And at that time, the director Li Mingbao was looking for was still a half-way monk. When Li Mingbao's brother Li Minghui was making movies, he was just a TV director and had no experience in independent production. Wang Jing was even a dispensable screenwriter.  It was the first time for a director to do this.  Although Wu Yusen is not a big-name director, he has made many movies. Coupled with Li Mingbao, a gold medal producer, if this movie fails.  At most, people say that if Li Mingbao goes to Hollywood, he will not make Hong Kong movies, but others will not have a good opinion of Wu Yusen. At least in Golden Harvest, there will be no one to protect him.  Originally, when Li Mingbao was looking for someone in Jiahe, even He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai were not optimistic about Wu Yusen. It was strange that they were still optimistic about Wu Yusen after the filming went wrong.  Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s words, even though the weather in Hong Kong was very cool at this time, Wu Yusen began to sweat on his forehead.  He also knew that what Li Mingbao said was true.  The movie failed. Billionaire Li Mingbao could still get through it even if he endured some pressure, but Wu Yusen, a little shrimp, would not have such good luck.  "I will work hard to make this movie good, but in terms of investment in the movie, I don't know what your plans are, Li Sheng." Wu Yusen asked tremblingly.  ¡° Wu Yusen had paid attention to Li Mingbao before, but now that he is filming under Li Mingbao, Wu Yusen wants to get to know Li Mingbao better.  Therefore, based on previous data, investment in Li Mingbao's filming is not so optimistic.  Although Li Mingbao¡¯s films have great returns, they have broken Hong Kong¡¯s box office records twice in a row.  But from a professional perspective, everyone knows that the movies Li Mingbao made before were actually low-budget and low-investment movies.  Although Li Mingbao is generous in other aspects, he cannot change the general direction of low-cost movies.  As for the current movie "A Better Tomorrow", in terms of cost, based on the prices in Hong Kong, it is definitely not a small cost, because this movie is a gun battle movie, whether it is guns, costumes, or scenes.  , neither of which can be compared to the previous two movies.  Therefore, in terms of investment cost, there is a fundamental difference between this "A Better Tomorrow" and Li Mingbao's previous two dramas.  Although Li Mingbao dares to spend money in Hollywood, he still uses US dollars, but Wu Yusen cannot guarantee whether Li Mingbao will spend that much in Hong Kong, so there is such a problem.  Li Mingbao also understood Wu Yusen¡¯s worries to some extent, so he was very worried.He said calmly: "In terms of investment, I will not be shortchanged by this movie. I am prepared to spend five million Hong Kong dollars to shoot this movie."
