    It's not that Li Mingbao doesn't understand the benefits of connections, but he also knows how much food a person can eat based on how big his belly is.  At present, he does not have the ability to establish an overseas network base. Even if he establishes it, such power is actually equivalent to a local chicken Valer in front of a big boss like Liu Shu, and cannot withstand the storm.  Rather than rushing to establish a so-called relationship now and not even knowing that someone has cheated you, it is better to lay a solid foundation before discussing this issue.  By then, if you build up your connections, there will definitely be better choices than you have now, and you won¡¯t have to pay a huge price.  Li Mingbao knows that the glorious era of Hong Kong movies has just emerged, and the days to come are still long. If he wants to be tall and high now, he will only end up with a different look, and even hinder his own development.  So it¡¯s better to leave things like these to Uncle Six now. Although it¡¯s not a good idea to leave your life to Uncle Six temporarily, but even if you don¡¯t leave it to Uncle Six, you still have to leave it to Zou Wenhuai. Anyway, if you want to live a good life,  Then this lifeline can only be taken care of by others.  To put it bluntly, Li Mingbao is now so poor that he only has money and nothing else.  Even if you want to take care of it yourself, there is no suitable person.  What's more, Li Mingbao and Uncle Liu have different visions.  Uncle Six, including Zou Wenhuai, their main focus is on East Asia. Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea are the places they care about.  Although Zou Wenhuai always likes to try his luck in Hollywood, in the past, Zou Wenhuai just wanted to make a few votes and had no intention of taking root.  But Li Mingbao and Zou Wenhuai are different. In Li Mingbao's view, the profits in these places in Southeast Asia are worthless.  North America is the real big market.  The film industry is actually an industry that pays great attention to funds.  Just like the giant Sony, it is engaged in the field of consumer electronics and is far away from the film industry.  But after Sony acquired two Hollywood giants, who dares to say that Sony is not the giant in the film industry?  ¡°If you keep looking at the land of East Asia, you won¡¯t make much money even if you desperately try to make money. Coupled with some local interests in other countries, you may pay more than you get in return.  But the North American market is a natural gold mine. If you can take root there and make more money, it will definitely be easier than the East Asian market.  Li Mingbao went to the United States to make a movie, and the money he earned immediately made people like Shao Liushu jealous. By making two more movies, even if the Hong Kong film industry is reshuffled, it will not be difficult.  But if Li Mingbao had been developing in Hong Kong, only God knows how many movies he would have made to achieve the current results.  What's more, the channels in Hong Kong are controlled by three bosses. If Li Mingbao really reaches a certain height, these three bosses will have somewhere to deal with Li Mingbao. In the end, Li Mingbao may be able to make some money, but the right to speak will not matter.  No need to think about it at all.  ¡° Only by developing in a gold mine that is much larger than Hong Kong can we have the ability to turn over the cards from the outside.  Therefore, Li Mingbao didn't care at all about the so-called lifeline being left to Uncle Six to take care of.  The only one that really makes money in these places is Japan.  But even in the Japanese market, compared to Hollywood, the gap is between a small sampan and a large warship.  As someone who has come before, if Li Mingbao doesn't know how to develop and grow, he will simply be disgracing the time-traveling army.  After sending these agents to Uncle Six, Li Mingbao felt relieved for the time being. Although "A Better Tomorrow" is now being released in full swing, Li Mingbao doesn't have much to do here. After all, it's time to  He has already done what he has to do, and all that is left is to wait for the final box office results to come out.  Although Li Mingbao wants to rest, this is not a good time to rest. For Li Mingbao, there is a more important thing, that is, the dividends from the United States have come down, and he needs to receive the fruits of his victory.  The global box office of "Home Alone" is US$550 million. This figure is slightly higher than the global box office of this movie in its previous life by more than 10 million US dollars.  Originally, Li Mingbao thought that the box office of this movie would be lower if it was released almost ten years earlier.  After all, the U.S. dollar nine years from now will definitely not be as valuable as the U.S. dollar nine years ago.  But I didn't expect that this movie actually gave Li Mingbao a small surprise. Compared with the box office of his previous life, the box office of this life was higher, reaching 550 million US dollars.  ¡° In this way, the money that Li Mingbao can get is not only 140 million US dollars, but 160 million US dollars and more.  Although Li Mingbao made more money, 20th Century Fox and the others actually did not make less.  The profit this movie has brought to them is certainly gratifying, but more importantly, the influence this movie has given them has also brought them good works.?.  Influence is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it plays a very important role in actual work.  It's like two people working in two companies. One person's salary is higher and the other person's salary is lower. But the person with the higher salary does not work in a Fortune 500 company, while the other person's salary is low.  Some people work in Fortune 500 companies.  So the person with a high salary will definitely envy the person with a low salary, because he knows that if the person with a low salary has a way to rise, his future prospects will definitely be broader than his own.  This is the influence brought by the name of Fortune 500.  No matter where you are, although influence is intangible, it often has a value that cannot be ignored, and the movie "Home Alone" has brought a lot of intangible influence to 20th Century Fox.  So even if Li Mingbao makes a lot of money, this kind of cooperation is a win-win situation for 20th Century Fox. Even if they can buy the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone", then they will make the contract with Li Mingbao public.  , and no one will say that their company does not know how to be reserved, but will say that they have done a good business.  Not only will it not damage their company's image, but it will attract more talents to join their company, which is definitely a hugely profitable deal.  Originally, Li Mingbao¡¯s dividends had arrived a long time ago. Twentieth Century Fox even urged Li Mingbao several times to go to the United States to collect the money as soon as possible.  But Li Mingbao was busy working on the movie "A Better Tomorrow" at that time. How could he have time to go to the United States to collect money?  Anyway, the money will not be less there, and the movie "A Better Tomorrow" is to make money for his future. Li Mingbao can still distinguish what is more important, so even if 20th Century Fox urges it, Li Mingbao  He didn't agree to go there. Besides, the fact that 20th Century Fox was so eager to get Li Mingbao to collect the money didn't mean that they really had a lot of money and abided by the contract.  But because Li Mingbao still holds the follow-up rights to "Home Alone" in his hands. How can 20th Century Fox, which has already enjoyed enough benefits from this movie, be willing to continue to put such a good thing in Li Mingbao's hands?  With.  Chinese people have always been very particular about the saying that "it's safe to be safe". In fact, foreigners are almost the same.  In their minds, as long as they don¡¯t put things in their pockets completely, various accidents will always happen.  And 20th Century Fox, which has made a lot of money with "Home Alone", definitely doesn't want an accident to happen to itself.  Therefore, urging Li Mingbao to sell the copyright to 20th Century Fox as soon as possible has been their most important task in recent months.  Li Mingbao had no time to deal with them before, but now that he is no longer needed in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao took the sample film of "A Better Tomorrow" and flew to the United States with a few people.  When he saw Jiang Zhiqiang again, Li Mingbao found that Jiang Zhiqiang's temperament had changed significantly. Compared with the way he looked when he first saw Jiang Zhiqiang, Jiang Zhiqiang is now more confident.  Temperament for success.  Seeing the arrival of the boss, Jiang Zhiqiang gave Li Mingbao a hug and began to talk to Li Mingbao about the recent changes in the company. With the help of Twentieth Century Fox, the company in Hollywood is developing quite smoothly.  DreamWorks has begun to produce some low-budget horror films one after another.  Although the investment is not large, usually movies under one or two million US dollars, I have to say that the direction Li Mingbao chose was indeed a good one.  Although the overall box office of this type of movie is not very high, after all, some people particularly like to watch this type of movie.  Although this kind of movie, commonly known as niche movie, cannot make a lot of money, it is easy to make a living. In addition, Li Mingbao consciously poached many powerful characters when he was in Hollywood.  Even though DreamWorks has not been open for a long time, in some circles, the name of DreamWorks is still remembered.  Although the movies produced by DreamWorks have not yet started to be recorded on video tapes, relying on the box office of the movies, DreamWorks' assets have grown from several million US dollars to more than 20 million US dollars now, and it has sufficient liquidity.  And the most important thing is that this part of the money has no connection with the movie "Home Alone". All the money was the money that Li Mingbao first got from Hollywood. Even before Li Mingbao returned to Hong Kong,  Some money was also withdrawn.  But even under such difficult circumstances, Jiang Zhiqiang still developed the company to what it is today. One can imagine how difficult it was for him.  But now, the pain is almost over.  With the current hematopoietic mechanism of DreamWorks, as long as you don't make any mistakes, the money will definitely keep coming.  Although??It is impossible to get rich overnight, but it must have a long history.  So after Jiang Zhiqiang reported the recent work of the family to Li Mingbao, Li Mingbao said with emotion: "Brother Jiang, you have worked hard. I will definitely not forget your share. Plus,  With the development of DreamWorks during this period, your net worth will definitely reach tens of millions, and the bonus of two million US dollars should be worthy of your efforts. "
