    (There was a power outage during the day, and the call came not long ago. On this hot day, can't everyone be harmonious and not use the air conditioner? It would be nice to turn on the fan like me.) After coming out of American Express, Li Mingbao suddenly found himself in the United States.  The foundation is developing faster than in Hong Kong.  Not only can you own a private beach, pier, luxury private yacht, and ocean-view villa in California in a short period of time, but you can also own a medium-sized film studio with complete facilities not far from Hollywood.  It also includes a dozen luxury cars, and even in a year's time, Li Mingbao will have his own Gulfstream 3 private jet. ???????????????????????????????????????????????? Such a pile of luxuries, are just enough to scare my father to death.  But Li Mingbao had to buy these things. If he didn't buy these things, he would have to hand over the money to the US Taxation Bureau. Not only would he not receive any praise, he would also get nothing.  Now I¡¯m fine. Although I bought a bunch of luxuries, they are still useful to me, and I have gained a reputation in American Express because of this.  This is of great significance to Li Mingbao's development in the United States.  You know, the customers that American Express receives, especially the high-end customers, are all really high-end and classy people. People who pretend to be rich but are actually poor, American Express will not pay attention to them at all.  This is a platform, a real upper-class platform. Now that Li Mingbao has finally found such a platform, it is much better than Zou Daheng who has worked so hard to reach this level. If American Express opens a black card in the future  , as long as you develop according to the current plan, then you will definitely have a black card.  Although it won¡¯t be long before you can have your own sea-view villa, a house, a car, a yacht, and even a private jet. Although you haven¡¯t bought your own yet, American Express also has a leasing business, so it¡¯s really  It is not impossible to play this thing. As long as you are willing to pay, America is paradise.  But fortunately, in Li Mingbao¡¯s memory, he is not a country bumpkin who has never enjoyed it.  So although Li Mingbao was a little drunk for a while, he soon woke up. He still has very important things to deal with now. Anyway, those things can't escape where they are. After the business is done, there will always be a chance to enjoy it.  .  To be honest, this operation in the United States would not have been so smooth without John's help.  If John's help before was considered by Li Mingbao because of the rich profits, but now the more he comes into contact with this world, the more Li Mingbao understands that John would never be so helpful to Li Mingbao just because of the tens of millions of dollars in profits.  .  For a person like John, the benefits of tens of millions of dollars are indeed a lot, and he will be jealous, but for these reasons, he is so good to Li Mingbao, not only letting Li Mingbao understand the crisis, but also constantly helping Li Mingbao solve the problem, and finally  Helped Li Mingbao contact American Express.  After so many things, if Li Mingbao still believes that John helped him because of money, then Li Mingbao is really a fool.  But now Li Mingbao really can't think of anything about himself that John can use, so let's put aside his doubts for now. As long as John really needs to find Li Mingbao for something, he will always show up.  When that time comes, Li Mingbao will naturally have a choice, because at that time it was John who begged Li Mingbao, not Li Mingbao who begged John. Whether to help or not was all in Li Mingbao's mind, and it was not a problem if he didn't want to help.  After settling his tax issues, Li Mingbao met John again.  In this meeting, one was to thank John for his help, and the other was the reason why Li Mingbao came to 20th Century Fox in the first place. He also had movies that needed 20th Century Fox's help in distributing.  John was still surprised that Li Mingbao found him so quickly. John also knew to some extent that Li Mingbao was squandering money with the help of American Express.  Because Li Mingbao's squandering was the advice given by John.  In John¡¯s view, since Li Mingbao has spent all his money, those newly acquired luxury villas and private beaches, people like Li Mingbao who have never been exposed to these things, of course should take a look and enjoy them.  But instead of enjoying himself at this time, Li Mingbao came to John's head. This made John feel a little confused and didn't know what Li Mingbao was going to do.  But since Li Mingbao is looking for him, John will definitely not refuse, so he is happy to let Li Mingbao come to 20th Century Fox again.  Seeing John again, Li Mingbao first thanked John for the good ideas he brought to him. If it weren't for John, Li Mingbao would never have imagined that spending money would be so easy.  Fifty to sixty million U.S. dollars, this is not Hong Kong dollars.  So much money was spent in such a short period of time. Without John's advice, Li Mingbao would never have been able to do it.  Converting this much money into Hong Kong dollars, US$50 million isHKD billion.  Li Mingbao had never seen so much money before. It was because the money would have to be taxed if it was not spent, so Li Mingbao spent it so happily.  If it had been Uncle Liu, he would have fallen ill in bed at this moment.  Li Mingbao is very sure that Uncle Liu has never spent so much money at one time. Of course, this does not include Uncle Liu¡¯s investment in charity in his later generations.  Just to spend money on luxury goods, Uncle Liu must have never spent that much money.  Even in Li Mingbao's memory, the big boss never spent money like this. Although he didn't save much, but with so much money to buy so many luxuries at once, the big boss definitely didn't feel like this.  John smiled and accepted Li Mingbao¡¯s thanks.  Because Li Mingbao's gratitude is not an exaggeration. Without his advice, Li Mingbao would have spent most of his time on tax avoidance. As for the taxes that should be paid, Li Mingbao would definitely not have left any money for himself.  Now Li Mingbao's tax problem has not only been solved, but he can also have a luxurious living environment. This extra thing is basically equivalent to a gift from John.  No matter how much Li Mingbao expresses his gratitude for such a great gift, it will never be too much.  After thanking John, Li Mingbao also said the real purpose of his visit: "When I came to the company last time, because of some things that happened later, the things that were supposed to be discussed that day were postponed to now. I believe you, John  I also know something about my work in Hong Kong. I am also a film investor there, and this time I came to the company for my new film. During the time when I returned to Hong Kong, I filmed another one.  A new movie has been released in Hong Kong and has achieved great success, so I was wondering if this movie could be released in the United States." After understanding Li Mingbao's intention, John frowned.  Brow: "Are Hong Kong movies Kung Fu movies? Li, you are a young man who understands American society very well, so I won't say meaningless words to you. Although the Kung Fu movies you shot in Hong Kong are very popular in Hong Kong  , but in the United States, the market for such movies is not very big. At that time, Li Xiaolong¡¯s movies were not considered mainstream in Hollywood, let alone those kung fu movies in ancient clothes.  How big is the market?" John's words made Li Mingbao a little depressed. As long as he is a Hollywood filmmaker, when he hears about Hong Kong movies, he first thinks of Kung Fu movies like John's.  To be honest, before Li Mingbao appeared, the vast majority of Hong Kong films that wanted to enter the US market were kung fu films. Although except for a limited number of films, most other films failed, but Hong Kong  But some filmmakers are happy about it, as if just a few films are successful, it should be said that all films are successful.  This is definitely not the prejudice of Hollywood filmmakers. When Hong Kong kung fu movies first entered Hollywood, some Hollywood filmmakers were really optimistic about this new movie model, especially because they felt that such movies would make the United States  People understand China better.  This is the most common topic that most Americans will mention about Chinese people in the future. Chinese people are all good at kung fu, like Li Xiaolong.  But those filmmakers who were optimistic about kung fu movies ultimately failed.  Because even if Americans are curious, they still can't figure out why people can fly around in the sky without relying on mechanical power or some other well-founded power.  I also don¡¯t understand why those people in the movie can slap people away and vomit blood with a gentle palm. This cliffhanger is not the scientifically correct way to open it.  If the original Hong Kong filmmakers could understand the American way of thinking and show some scientific theoretical basis in their films, then maybe they would not have such a tragic wall. For example, if you can fly, don't explain what Qinggong is.  , the direct explanation is a kind of energy that can make people fly, just like a vampire can suck blood, which is a matter of course for Americans.  ?Perhaps it can be explained that it will be much easier for kung fu movies to enter the American market.  At least they know that Qing Gong is energy. Although this energy may be too high-end for them to understand, it does not prevent them from using scientific theories to explain this phenomenon.  Americans are sometimes very straightforward. No matter how exaggerated something is, as long as you can introduce it in some way, they will happily watch it. Just like Godzilla, it is a nonsense thing, but if you introduce this thing  Put a nuclear bomb on it and radiate it, then OK, no problem, that's what Godzilla is.  Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t want to argue with John now that kung fu is a manifestation of energy, because this is bullshit. His movie is not a real kung fu movie, and bullshit has no meaning.  So Li Mingbao said simply: "No, John, I have made several movies, but I have never made a kung fu movie, at least the one I have is not"Not a husband movie, but a gun fight movie. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? " "As long as it's not a kung fu movie, as you know, Americans don't like kung fu movies that much, but gun fight movies are a good subject, and I also like them very much.  "When he heard that it was not a kung fu movie, John immediately returned to normal. He was really afraid that Li Mingbao would make a kung fu movie that Americans could not understand at all, which would be difficult for him to do.
