    Li Mingbao didn't say what was good about this movie, because these words had no effect on Shao Liushu.  As the boss of Shaw Brothers, Uncle Six is ??definitely more knowledgeable than Li Mingbao. What kind of good scripts has he not seen?  Rather than wasting too much time talking about the movie¡¯s script, it would be better to directly let Uncle Six understand Li Mingbao¡¯s determination for the movie.  What is determination for a movie? A thousand people have a thousand opinions, but when facing Uncle Six, the best way is to let Uncle Six understand how much Li Mingbao is prepared to invest in this movie.  Uncle Liu¡¯s eyes are focused on money. As much as Li Mingbao invests, he will naturally understand how determined Li Mingbao is.  A movie worth five million Hong Kong dollars is not worth mentioning in Hollywood, but if it is put in Hong Kong, it is definitely a big deal among the big ones.  ¡°At least Uncle Six has never made such an expensive movie, and Chow Wenhuai has never made such an expensive movie in Hong Kong.  From this point of view, we can see Li Mingbao's determination.  Although Hong Kong dollars are called Hong Kong paper, it means that Hong Kong dollars are worthless.  But no matter how worthless the Hong Kong dollar is, if the number is put at the level of five million, it will be equally valuable.  In these days, as long as it is not a particularly luxurious villa, just an average villa, you can buy a good one with HK$5 million, and you can buy a dozen of good cars.  With so much money invested in a movie, Uncle Six was not worried about Li Mingbao's determination at all. Instead, he was thinking about how much money Li Mingbao would have left after the movie was finished.  Uncle Liu didn't believe that a movie that didn't require special effects could cost as much as HK$5 million. How much does it cost to produce a movie in Hong Kong these days?  According to Shaw Brothers' production capabilities, a typical movie can be made well for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is a big production, and 1 million Hong Kong dollars is definitely a big scene among big scenes, requiring horses and people.  And it's not a movie, but a TV series.  With Uncle Liu¡¯s ability to control costs, it is completely unimaginable how a movie can cost five million Hong Kong dollars. Such an amount of money is absolutely an astronomical figure for a movie.  Judging from Li Mingbao's generous actions, we can also see Li Mingbao's determination.  Although Li Mingbao is rich, he can't spend five million Hong Kong dollars to waste money. Even Uncle Six does not have that luxury, let alone Li Mingbao.  So after hearing Li Mingbao's answer, Uncle Liu said directly: "Li Sheng is really generous. Since Li Sheng is so determined, the Shaw Brothers theater chain will also follow Li Sheng's wishes." "Yes.  Uncle Six, you said, I didn't come here in vain. I can't confirm the specific release time yet. It depends on the filming progress of the movie. Fortunately, my ideal release time is in June or July, so long.  By that time, the movie will definitely be filmed. By then, the movie will be released in multiple theaters at the same time, and no one will take advantage of anyone. What do you think, Uncle Liu?" Li Mingbao said after hearing Uncle Liu's promise?  The task was completed, so he joked.  "Released at the same time? That's good. Just like Li Sheng said, no one takes advantage of anyone else." Uncle Liu nodded in agreement.  "Releasing movies at the same time is not just to create momentum, but also to consider the interests of these theaters.  The release of such a big-budget movie will definitely cause a sensation. If any theater chain shows this movie early, even for just one day, it will have unexpected effects.  Therefore, for the sake of fairness, it is responsible for everyone to release this movie at the same time. Otherwise, in order to compete for priority, there will definitely be a fight in the end.  The matter on Uncle Six¡¯s side has been finalized. Li Mingbao¡¯s second goal is Jiahe.  Regarding Jiahe, Li Mingbao has no worries, because they are now in a cooperative state. Li Mingbao wants to show movies, which is not something that Jiahe cannot tolerate, and Li Mingbao is also very particular about the way the movie box office is divided.  The preparation is the same as Shaw Brothers, which is 40% to 60%, and Li Mingbao 60% to 60%. Others, whether it is Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess and other small cinemas, are all divided into 40%.  Since fairness is required, no matter which aspect it is, Li Mingbao needs real fairness. In the past, the conditions offered by Li Mingbao to those small cinemas and scattered small theater chains were all 30-70, that is, Li Mingbao would get 70%, and those  Small theaters get 30%.  It's not that Li Mingbao is very strong on small movie theaters, but the usual tactic of those small movie theaters is to evade fares. If Li Mingbao follows the practice of large theaters and pays 40 or 60 yuan, then the money Li Mingbao will get in the end is equivalent to 50 or 50 yuan at most.  In order not to lose his own interests, Li Mingbao got a 30% to 70% ratio at the beginning. Even if he evaded the fare in the end, he could still get 60%.  And now, Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t want to use these little tricks anymore, because he is now more capable than before. As long as the owners of those small movie theaters are not stupid, they will never make fun of Li Mingbao on this issue.  If they dareIf there are no votes, then the punishment will not be just Li Mingbao alone, but will represent the three major theater chains in Hong Kong and the film companies behind them. In this way, no one will dare to be stupid.  With such confidence, Li Mingbao dared to offer those movie theaters a 40-60% share. The money he received would not be less, and he would not be left behind by someone as rich as Li Mingbao who bullied the reputation of small movie theaters.  The day after visiting Uncle Six, Li Mingbao came to Jiahe, met Zou Wenhuai, and then continued to tell Zou Wenhuai his thoughts.  After Zou Wenhuai heard Li Mingbao's plan, he had the same reaction as Uncle Shao Liu.  There is no way. The methods that Hong Kong film industry leaders consciously used ten years later were still considered novel ten years ago today.  Even people who are illiterate can see clearly how beneficial it is to a movie to be screened across the board.  Not to mention the top figures in Hong Kong like Shao Liushu and Zou Wenhuai.  For Zou Wenhuai, he feels the same as Uncle Six, and this approach is only suitable for a person like Li Mingbao.  If it were him and Uncle Six, they wouldn't be able to play this trick.  Unless everyone can actually see the profit in it, and no one can resist this profit.  Otherwise, only Li Mingbao can use this method, and even if other people want to use it, they won't be able to do it.  To put it bluntly, these guys respect their status and are not willing to beg anyone else, especially Shao Liushu and Zou Wenhuai. You can't let Shao Liushu beg Zou Wenhuai, and you can't let Zou Wenhuai beg Shao Liushu.  Although Boss Lei has no grudge against these two parties now, Boss Lei is determined to dominate and imitate Uncle Shao, so he will naturally not seek help from someone who is destined to be his defeat in his eyes.  There is only Li Mingbao. Although he is strong, he is willing to lose face because of his youth. Coupled with some complicated and subtle relationships, he is the only one who gets the fat in the end.  Zou Wenhuai's request for Li Mingbao was quickly met. It is no wonder that Li Mingbao and Jiahe are now in the honeymoon period. Jiahe has no worries about such a cooperation. Even Shaw Brothers has the same issue of screening. Jiahe  Bian didn't say much.  Zou Wenhuai still knew what Uncle Six had planned.  So Zou Wenhuai deliberately wants to sell Li Mingbao's favor. As long as Li Mingbao opens his mouth, Jiahe will be satisfied no matter what time it is.  Of course, Jiahe has lost nothing with this promise.  Although Jiahe has been busy recently with Chen Long's new movie "Plan A", the filming time of this movie does not require much effort, and the shooting progress is definitely much faster than Li Mingbao's "A Better Tomorrow".  In addition, Jiahe has no concept of picking roles at this time. Although Li Mingbao has taken advantage twice before, the issue of scheduling has not been taken seriously by these big guys. Even Zou Wenhuai, a person who often hangs out in Hollywood, has no idea about the schedule.  There is no clear idea whether Hong Kong will also form a schedule like Hollywood.  As long as these two movies don¡¯t come together, compared with other movies compared to this movie, Golden Harvest will naturally move towards Li Mingbao¡¯s movie.  After all, it is clear that this movie will make a lot of money. Although the other Jiahe movies are also made by their own children, their own children do not make as much money as outsiders, so Jiahe will not let the money go and worry about the feelings of their own children.  Having finalized the Jiahe side, Li Mingbao¡¯s last stop was Princess Jin.  Regarding Boss Lei, Li Mingbao didn't give much hints about the information in his mind. After all, this guy retired too early, even before the 1990s. There is really too little information about him.  "But after several contacts, Li Mingbao knew that Boss Lei was a very ambitious person, and he was also very willing to spend money. Even if his desire for control was not as strong as that of Shao Liushu, he still wanted to be powerful.  He never cared about joint ventures with others, but in the end of every joint venture, Boss Lei always won. It can be said that Boss Lei is a man who has strong control and is good at capital operation.  Such a person is very troublesome.  Fortunately, Li Mingbao's capital operation ability is actually not bad. Compared with the cooperation of companies in later generations, the behavior of these bosses in Hong Kong, especially the Hong Kong-funded bosses, in Li Mingbao's opinion, is at the level of a primary school student. Compared with  Those British bosses are still a bit worse.  Now Li Mingbao does not want to cooperate with Boss Lei on business, but on film screening, which does not involve company equity, so it is easier to negotiate when driven by interests.  The discussion process with Boss Lei was quite pleasant. At this time, Boss Lei was no longer as greedy as when Li Mingbao first met. He wanted to control everything in his own hands. Coupled with Li Mingbao's suitable interests, Boss Lei  Naturally, we will not refuse this kind cooperation.  So in the end, Li Mingbao finally negotiated the full-line joint screening.
