    As for gunfight movies, although John is not his favorite, at least this subject matter is not disgusting in the United States.  With this prerequisite, John's face naturally looked much better.  Seeing that John relented, Li Mingbao didn't say much nonsense. Hearing is believing and seeing is believing. Only after letting John see his movie will he have nothing else to say.  So Li Mingbao asked John to lead the way to the small screening room of Twentieth Century Fox.  This is not the first time for Li Mingbao to come to this place. When "Home Alone" was brought over, it was screened in this place. But when watching that movie, there was only Justin, the deputy manager of the distribution department.  But when I watched "A Better Tomorrow" this time, it was the boss of Twentieth Century Fox who watched it in person. There was a big gap in treatment. Even the actual value of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" was far less than that of "A Better Tomorrow".  On "Home Alone."  Although Li Mingbao thinks that "A Better Tomorrow" is a very classic movie, especially after he has perfected some details, when it is put in Hong Kong, it is a classic among classics.  But it¡¯s a pity that the place he is in now is Hollywood. In this place, they can do the best in any type of film.  Although "A Better Tomorrow" is good, it is simply impossible to be the best.  What's more, no matter how wonderful the movie "A Better Tomorrow" is, the choice of actors is the flaw of the movie.  In a white supremacist society, as long as it is a movie about people of color, they will not have a high evaluation in their hearts.  Don¡¯t say that the United States follows the policy of equality for all, even children will not believe it.  If there was really such equality, there would be no Ku Klux Klan in the United States.  From the people in power in the United States to the white people in the United States, their views on people of color are not very good.  If Ao Guanhai didn't have a strong mother and a strong family behind his mother, he would have wanted to be president, and we would see if he could do it in a hundred years.  So Li Mingbao's views on the movie "A Better Tomorrow" are very reasonable. This movie may achieve some good results in the United States, but it is nonsense to try to change Americans' opinions with such a movie.  Li Mingbao has never thought about changing their way of thinking through movies, which is almost an impossible task.  The main purpose of bringing over the movie is actually to make money. Li Mingbao doesn't care whether the Americans think highly of him. Anyway, as long as these Americans give him money, it doesn't matter if he pretends to be an uncle.  The Japanese influence in the United States is not small, right?  Even two of the later American film giants were bought by the Japanese. In terms of foundation, the Japanese have a better foundation than the Hong Kong people.  But the Japanese have never thought of changing the minds of Americans through movies, because the Japanese know that this is impossible. Unless your overall strength exceeds that of the Americans, otherwise you don't want their opinions to change.  The Japanese are a nation that is very capable of recognizing reality, but sometimes the Hong Kong side cannot see clearly such a pattern, and they want to work hard to instill their own values ????into Americans. It would be strange that that would end well.  Li Mingbao sometimes wonders, don¡¯t those Hong Kong people come to Hollywood just to make money?  Isn't it good to simply make money? Why do you want to use something like thoughts to seduce people?  This is like those European missionaries who came to the Ming Dynasty with completely different ideas. They were lucky not to be beaten to death by others.  ¡°In Li Mingbao¡¯s view, everything done by those colleagues in Hong Kong was similar to what those European missionaries did during the Ming Dynasty.  It's just that modern times are a little more civilized. The Yankees just let them lose some money, and their lives are not in danger.  Li Mingbao took over the movie just to make money. If it is a period film, it will inevitably encounter some troubles that Americans don't understand.  But now this is a modern gunfight movie. No matter how stupid a Yankee is, he still knows what a gun is, right?  So Li Mingbao generously gave the sample to the staff at Twentieth Century Fox and motioned for them to screen the film.  The small screening room is naturally not as good as the big screens in the cinema, but there are only so many seats in the small screening room, and the movie screen placed in it is just right inside.  The movie for John is in English. Of course, it also has Chinese subtitles. It is a Hong Kong movie after all. Everything you want is in English. When others see these Asian faces, they still don¡¯t know whether these people are Chinese.  People are still Japanese or Korean.  When the movie started to be officially screened, John also started to watch it seriously.  After all, this movie was produced by Li Mingbao, based on Li Mingbao¡¯s previous filming in Hollywood.In that movie, John knew to some extent what Li Mingbao was capable of, so maybe the gunfight movie was really worth watching.  The movie "A Better Tomorrow" is a movie with a strong story.  Movies with strong storytelling have great advantages in entering the audience's thoughts.  This is not like an art film. If you want to understand it, you need a certain amount of professional knowledge. Otherwise, ordinary people will not be able to understand art films. At least Li Mingbao cannot understand those so-called pure art films.  It¡¯s a gun battle film with a strong storyline, and the pace is also tight.  So it seemed like a complete no-brainer for John.  And when Li Mingbao designed this counterfeit currency group, he intentionally approached similar groups in the United States, so looking at those pictures, John felt very familiar.  This was definitely not designed by Li Mingbao to worship foreigners and please Americans.  But this type of counterfeit currency group has nonsense logic in Hong Kong.  Where is Hong Kong?  It's a concession now.  If it were an ordinary concession in a small country, the British might turn a blind eye or close one eye.  But the problem is that all the countries in this concession are originally the five major rogue countries. If it were not for the mediocrity decades or hundreds of years ago, then this country would still be one of the most powerful countries in the world.  The territory of such a country is originally a pit of fire.  The reason why the shit-troublemaker didn't return it was not because he didn't care about this country, but because the things involved in this small Hong Kong were too complicated at the beginning, so it has continued until now.  In such a place, the mainland has a great influence on Hong Kong. The British may be vague about some small issues, but the British will not want to get involved in a big issue like counterfeit currency that provokes a country's power.  trouble.  Therefore, even if there are counterfeiters in Hong Kong, they are small-scale workshops, and what they produce cannot affect the financial order.  If Li Mingbao puts such a small workshop into "A Better Tomorrow", the style of this movie will drop a lot, and it will be similar to the movie made by John Wu.  As for such movies, Hollywood has actually stated with facts that there is no market for such movies in Hollywood. If Li Mingbao wants to make money in Hollywood, he must make this movie high-end and high-end, otherwise he will not be able to fool these picky people.  Yankee.  Only by making it high-end can these Americans pay the bill.  After all, Americans have really big imaginations. They are willing to accept any new thing as long as it looks scientific.  Americans can also accept the fact that a counterfeiting group that could not exist in the first place is made to look like this.  Because most Americans now don't understand where Hong Kong is. As long as they don't explain it, they will even think that Hong Kong is a city in Japan.  Until twenty years later, Americans who don¡¯t know much about geography still account for the vast majority.  So many times, you must not talk about geography outside the United States with Americans, otherwise you will be very confused.  Li Mingbao¡¯s series of packaging seemed to be a success. When John saw a group of troops surrounding Song Zihao, he couldn¡¯t help but cursed.  Regarding this issue, John never believed that arresting a group of dangerous counterfeiting group leaders could be solved by using the police. If Li Mingbao used the police at this time, John would definitely be confused.  For Americans, whether they are drug traffickers or counterfeit money sellers, the profession of police maintaining law and order is definitely not suitable to deal with such dangerous elements. Even if the SEALs are not the ones to solve the problem, it must be the military.  , otherwise it is seeking wealth and killing.  The United States is a country filled with guns, so they have guns to kill people, even poor people.  Not to mention the counterfeiting syndicates who are trying to make ends meet with their own ideas. With what little the police have in hand, they are really not enough to deal with such syndicates, so using the army is the most appropriate option.  And all of this is very reasonable in John's opinion, at least in the eyes of Americans, this kind of movie is very reasonable.  "It's completely different from the movies in Hong Kong."  Seeing this, John was already relieved. He was afraid that Li Mingbao's movie was disguised as a gunfight movie, but inside it was a kung fu movie. Li Xiaolong's movies had this trend, but fortunately, Li Xiaolong was good at kung fu, and most people were just as good at it.  Don't mind.  But even so, due to logical problems, Li Xiaolong's movies are definitely not mainstream in Hollywood.  As for Li Mingbao's movie, it can be regarded as a mainstream movie in Hollywood. The plot, details, content, and rhythm are all refreshing. Except for the fact that the actors in it are all Asians, other issues, John  I really can't tell.  So as soon as the movie was over, John couldn't wait to ask Li Mingbao: "Li, was this movie really shot in Hong Kong? I can't tell at all. If the people in it weren't all Asian, then maybe I  I thought this movie was Hollywood?It was photographed.  "
