    If Hong Kong movies could really take over Hollywood, then Lee Ming-pao would never say these words to John today.  Because that was just looking for trouble. On the premise that he was not as powerful as others, he just took out his trump card and let everyone watch carefully. Except for idiots, no one with a slightly normal attitude would do this.  Li Mingbao sees clearly and thinks even more clearly.  He will not be like Uncle Liu, who will stop coming as soon as he is hit by Hollywood, and stay in Hong Kong without showing his face.  He won't be like Zou Wenhuai, who after taking advantage of a little advantage in Hollywood, will think about how to turn his actors into Hollywood superstars.  Both of their ideas are very biased.  After all, Hollywood relies on North America, and most of the people in North America who have the right to speak are white. Whether it is Liu Shu's passivity or Zou Wenhuai's radicalism, they have little influence on this huge market.  According to Zou Wenhuai¡¯s idea, if you promote your own people as Hollywood superstars, you will earn a lot of profits in the future.  But it is already difficult for a Chinese to open up such a world. In addition, people in Hollywood are not fools. If they use their own resources to cultivate talents for others, are they all blind?  Besides, even if Chen Long is trained and becomes a Hollywood first-line star, it will only take a few years for him to truly become famous. Given the difficulty for Chinese people to meet the ceiling in the United States, even if Zou Wenhuai succeeds at all costs, perhaps Chen Long will be successful at that time.  Long has been working in Hollywood for more than ten years. He has exchanged his precious time for more than ten years for a few years of glory. This deal is a loss no matter how you look at it.  If it were Li Mingbao, he would never do this.  In a word, it is impossible for Hollywood to allow people of color to occupy the status of first-line stars. With such unspoken rules, Li Mingbao naturally does not care much about whether his own stars can occupy Hollywood, because this is a nonsense proposition.  ¡°After John heard what Li Mingbao said, he also understood that the Hollywood movie market is actually not the same thing as the product market.  As long as you don¡¯t look at the product¡¯s trademark, who knows where it came from?  But movies are different. Whether a star is white or not, others can tell at a glance, unless they undergo plastic surgery like Jackson did.  It¡¯s not that John doesn¡¯t understand this truth, but he was frightened by the cost advantage reported by Li Mingbao.  If those Chinese stars also crashed the scene like the Japanese, who will be the leader of Hollywood in the future will be a big problem.  Knowing that his worries were just castles in the air, John felt a lot better, and he also understood why Li Mingbao was so generous in revealing his costs, because only in this way can he understand that as long as the relationship between the two parties is  Cooperation brings many opportunities.  "Indeed, my prediction will not be successful. Hollywood will not allow people of color to dominate. I am a little unfounded. But I have to say, Li, your conditions are very impressive to me. Damn it, for such a film, you guys  The cost is less than one million US dollars, and it is absolutely impossible for such a thing to happen in Hollywood," John said with a sigh of relief.  "Of course it can't happen. Hollywood's laws are very sound. I understood this when I was filming "Home Alone". There are so many labor unions that completely eliminate the possibility of taking advantage of loopholes. Compared with Hollywood, Hong Kong is a paradise. You know,  Not only is the investment cost of Hong Kong's movies very low, but the shooting speed is also very fast. The average time to shoot a movie there is less than half a month, even with my meticulous preparation.  Two months. This is absolutely impossible in Hollywood, because the actors will adhere to their working hours on time, and the people behind the scenes will also adhere to the principles. But in Hong Kong, as long as there are no big problems, the film will be fine.  You can keep taking pictures. Overtime is very normal for people there, and overtime pay is not very common. Even overtime pay is very cheap. John, don't you think you have discovered a big gold mine?  ?" Li Mingbao said in an exaggerated tone.  "Heaven, absolutely heaven, it is completely unimaginable. A movie that can be made in half a month, can it still be called a movie? I probably understand why those Hong Kong movies in the past had no market in Hollywood, even Li Xiaolong's movies,  It¡¯s not mainstream, because it¡¯s too sloppy. Do your Hong Kong directors regard filming as fast food? I saw a kung fu film shot in Hong Kong a long time ago. At that time, I felt very strange. Why should it be from the valley?  Scene, why is there such an obvious set in the back? Oh my God, that is just a joke. It¡¯s hard to imagine why there is a market for such a movie in Hong Kong. Even if you make pornographic movies, you won¡¯t be so sloppy, at least.  The house is not just a set." The more John and Li Mingbao chatted, the more they understood why those Hong Kong movies in the past were so good.It's so exciting that it can't even move people's hearts.  ¡°It¡¯s not unusual to shoot a movie in such a short period of time and do some weird things.  Hearing John¡¯s words, Li Mingbao blushed for a rare moment.  The legacy of Uncle Six is ??so deep that even giants like John never forget the so-called martial arts films he made.  A bad impression is actually cultivated from the beginning.  Uncle Liu¡¯s cost-saving concept has influenced too many Hollywood filmmakers.  Just put up a shelf and it's like a cave. Only the simple Hong Kong people in the past thought it was a good thing.  The most important thing is that until now, the cost-saving operation of the movies shot by Uncle Six has not stopped.  No wonder the movies made by Uncle Six are becoming more and more unbearable. There may have been a market for things that fool people twenty years ago, but nothing has changed in twenty years. Who would like them?  Only Uncle Liu would think that his movie was just bad luck, otherwise it would have been a hit.  "I don't have a good solution to this problem, because this method of making movies was invented by a tycoon in Hong Kong, and this tycoon is still the leader of the Hong Kong industry. He wants to make that stubborn old man change his mind.  "It's like asking John to quit golf," Li Mingbao said helplessly, shrugging his shoulders.  "You mean Shao Daheng? Indeed, he is an old man who wants to be a stubborn man. We have met him a long time ago. It seems that he was the one who brought those weird movies to Hollywood. They are as ridiculous as playing monkeys.  ." John nodded in agreement.  "John, you should actually be lucky, because the person you are dealing with now is not Shao Daheng, but me, Li Mingbao. So the problems in Liushu's movie will never happen in my movie. You can see a few of the movies I shot.  , none of them will be as sloppy as those movies. With the dollars I have now, although it is impossible to change Hollywood, for Hong Kong, this money is not a small amount.  When the money comes to Hong Kong, it will bring great changes to the Hong Kong film industry and lay a solid foundation for our future cooperation." Li Mingbao said.  "I believe this very much. I know that you are a young man with great ideas and ambitions. Rich young people usually do something eye-catching, so I have the time to wait patiently for that moment."  Of course, don¡¯t let me wait too long. After all, the earlier such a big event starts, the more full benefits we can get.¡± John encouraged.  "We don't need to discuss these things now. Let's talk about the release of the movie "A Better Tomorrow" in North America. Since John you also think this movie is good, then leave this movie to the 20th Century  Let Fox do the global distribution. Of course, the main distribution locations are outside East Asia, because here in East Asia, I should control more channels than you do," Li Mingbao said.  "Global distribution? It depends on the situation. It's only in North America. I can guarantee that the quality of the movie is good after all. But globally and in Europe, I can't guarantee that they will like it. After all, this movie was shot in Hong Kong.  Yes, people there won¡¯t take action unless they see the benefits. Only if it achieves a good box office in North America will the people there be interested.¡± He said cautiously.  ¡°It¡¯s just North American distribution, which is not very difficult for 20th Century Fox, because they have complete distribution channels in North America.  But it's different in Europe. Although there are branches of 20th Century Fox there, they are not local snakes. If there is no hope of profit in North America, the people there will never let go.  How could old fox John easily agree to Li Mingbao's global distribution?  Hearing John's words, Li Mingbao knew that his little thoughts were not hidden from John, but he didn't mind and said: "Okay, I believe this movie is indeed very good. As long as it is released, people in Europe will always  When I see it. I just give you the distribution rights outside of Asia. As for how to distribute it later, I don¡¯t care. If it can be distributed, it doesn¡¯t matter.  As an old friend, I decided to give in to the profit sharing this time. Just three percent is enough. Such a discount should be a good gift as a testimony of our friendship, right? " "Li, I have to say, you are very kind.  Cunning, you can still say this if you only want 30%. You know, for your Hong Kong movies, it is usually very good to get 20%. Of course, since you said it is a testimony of our friendship,  Let¡¯s make it 30%. We¡¯ll leave the rest of the terms to the people below. I trust them.??It's done very well.  "John said helplessly.
