    "What is that guy Li Mingbao doing recently? Isn't he talking about filming "God of Gamblers"? Why is there not much news recently? When will our "God of Gamblers" be filmed?" Xiang Huasheng sat on his big swivel chair,  He asked his brother.  "That guy has been busy contacting some chocolate manufacturers recently, saying that he wants to place advertisements or something, so "God of Gamblers" is placed there first. Zhou Runfa is still gaining weight, and other people in the crew are also slowly recruiting  "It will take at least a week to start shooting this movie. If his commercials haven't been finished yet, then we have to wait," Xiang Huaqiang said with a dark face.  "I just can't figure it out. Why does that guy use our Yongsheng movie as an experiment? This wasted time is free of money? When his advertising fees come, the time we wasted will be able to make up for his advertising fees.  . And he asked your brother to contact the casino for advertising, have you let it out?" Xiang Huasheng also asked very unhappily.  "Who asked him to pay him? Five million Hong Kong dollars, do you think his money is so easy to make? This guy has never suffered a loss. Besides, if we really want him to make it, what will our cost be?  Control is also very beneficial. If advertising fees can really make a lot of money, then our cost of filming movies will be reduced in the future, and the funds will be recovered quickly," Xiang Huaqiang said.  "But when we open Yongsheng, we have to choose an auspicious time to get our name out, right? What if the movie is released too late and won't even be on the Spring Festival schedule? After this period of time, okay  The schedule will have to wait until May or June. We can't wait until then, right?" Xiang Huasheng said distressedly.  "It's not that exaggerated. Isn't this year's Spring Festival in February? It's only December 17th, and there are still almost two months left. Even if he procrastinates, he will be able to shoot a movie in two months.  . And with his status, it is absolutely easy to get a full-scale screening. Unlike other movies, even if the script is written by him, there are still problems in getting a full-scale screening. Now he can fully get this treatment.  , only Li Mingbao, even the old directors of Shaw Brothers, don't have this kind of treatment. Just relying on full-scale screening, it doesn't matter if he is late. As long as the film is well shot, not only will it be screened throughout East Asia, but  Even in Hollywood, he will establish connections. Although we can¡¯t get any money from Hollywood, our Yongsheng name can be heard there, compared to other film companies.  , our treatment will be much better. Even if there is no Li Mingbao in the future, if we want to open up our company's market there, with this movie as the foundation, it will be easier than others. "It is obvious that Xiang Hua is better off after making money from Li Mingbao.  Think more openly than Xiang Huasheng.  Hearing what his brother said, Xiang Huasheng could only mutter: "I hope his movie advertisements will sell for a good price. Otherwise, so much time is completely wasted." "Looking at how busy he is recently,  It should be effective. Otherwise, given his temper, if it didn¡¯t work, he would have quit long ago. Besides, we at Yongsheng are not here to buy him time. He will definitely not be satisfied without a good explanation.¡±  Xiang Huaqiang spent more time dealing with Li Mingbao than Xiang Huasheng, so although Xiang Huasheng often couldn't stand Li Mingbao's whims, he knew much more about Li Mingbao than Xiang Huasheng.  If Li Mingbao hears Xiang Huaqiang's words at this time, he will definitely shout "confidant".  Li Mingbao definitely gained a lot from finding advertisers for chocolate this time.  Although he doesn't know how much advertising fees the chocolate merchant will give Wang Jing when Wang Jing shoots this movie, judging from the quotations Li Mingbao receives now, the advertising fees he charges are definitely higher than what Wang Jing will receive seven years later.  Advertising costs are even higher.  Don¡¯t look at the fact that prices seven years from now cannot be compared with now. One hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars at that time and one hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars now are completely different concepts. Even if Li Mingbao gets the same advertising fee now as he will get seven years later, in fact, Li Mingbao will still be the same.  It's a profit.  But Li Mingbao believes that even Wang Jing seven years from now may not have as much advertising money as he has received.  Because even if Wang Jing is seven years later, his fame may not be as famous as Li Mingbao now.  At least for Wang Jing at that time, his movies had never made it to Hollywood.  Li Mingbao's movies, "Home Alone" and "A Better Tomorrow" both achieved good box office success in Hollywood.  Even "Home Alone" produced by Li Mingbao is now ranked in the top three box office in Hollywood history. Such achievements are a way of reflecting one's worth.  Therefore, when negotiating with those chocolate manufacturers, they will also consciously add the actual benefits brought by Li Mingbao's previous achievements.  What's more, although the filming of this movie has not yet started, the cast is very strong. Whether it is Zhou Runfa in front of the stage or Zhong Chuhong, they are all in the sea.?¡¯s box office is guaranteed to a certain extent, and even Zhou Runfa has a certain influence in Hollywood. Although it is not much, it is real, because the movie "A Better Tomorrow" is still the highest box office movie achieved by Asian movies in so many years.  , extraordinary achievements.  Coupled with Li Mingbao, a producer who has never failed, they can definitely be regarded as a gold medal combination in Asia, and they also have a certain ability to attract money in Europe and the United States.  Even if such a movie has not started filming yet, their influence has already been felt.  So many advantages have led to extremely fierce competition in chocolate advertising.  Although chocolate manufacturers in Hong Kong and Taiwan were out of business from the beginning, even with Li Mingbao's guarantee, their quotations were very hesitant, and the highest quotation did not exceed 100,000 Hong Kong dollars.  But just because manufacturers in Hong Kong and Taiwan don¡¯t quote prices, it doesn¡¯t mean that manufacturers in other places don¡¯t quote prices either. The highest quote from Chinese businessmen in Southeast Asia is around HK$1 million.  The highest price quoted from South Korea is US$150,000.  If there were no competition between Japanese and European and American manufacturers, then South Korea's quotation of US$150,000 would give Li Mingbao a good explanation no matter who he dealt with.  You know, when filming "God of Gamblers" at this time, the investment amount for this movie was greatly increased because of the need to enter the international market. Previously, the largest investment movie shot in Hong Kong was "A Better Tomorrow". At that time, Li Mingbao gave  An investment amount of HKD 5 million was obtained.  As Yong Sheng's first film, "God of Gamblers", together with the popular Chow Yun-fat and Zhong Chuhong, Yong Sheng spent a lot of money in order to give him a satisfactory salary. Chow Yun-fat's salary was fixed at HK$500,000.  And Zhong Chuhong's salary was also raised to the height of 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.  Although Li Mingbao, both Zhou Runfa and Zhong Chuhong, had received such a salary before, the standard salary given by Li Mingbao was not recognized by other film companies except Li Mingbao alone.  In other words, in the Hong Kong film industry, only Li Mingbao can give him a salary of HK$500,000. After leaving the door of Li Mingbao, other companies can pay Zhou Run a salary of HK$300,000, which is already what he wants.  Conscience.  And the Xiang brothers gave Zhou Runfa and others such high remuneration, which is equivalent to actually setting a price for Zhou Runfa and others. Such remuneration is no longer the price that Li Mingbao can do alone.  After filming "God of Gamblers" is completed, Zhou Runfa's salary will actually be fixed at 500,000, instead of being as inflated as before. ?? Actors, directors, and behind the scenes, the Xiang brothers all paid the full price.  In addition, the scene of the God of Gamblers also needs a big show, so the initial preparation funds provided by the Xiang brothers were a full 7 million Hong Kong dollars.  Although in Li Mingbao's eyes, this money is just enough to buy a villa or something, but the current seven million Hong Kong dollars is definitely not a small sum in Hong Kong. I didn't see the Xiang brothers and others spending 50 million Hong Kong dollars.  It looks like he is suffering from serious losses. From this point of view, seven million Hong Kong dollars is definitely not a small amount. At least this money must be given to Uncle Liu. He can at least make dozens of rubbish movies. As for whether the box office can recover the cost,  That is not an issue that Uncle Six needs to consider.  The highest price quoted by South Korea is US$150,000. If it is converted into Hong Kong dollars on the black market, it can definitely be obtained for two million Hong Kong dollars. South Korea's quotation alone can cover more than a quarter of the investment budget.  In fact, the price quoted by Koreans is not the highest.  The real highest bid was from the third-rate chocolatier in Japan and the United States, the same Welles who had watched "A Better Tomorrow."  The quotations made by the Japanese are very scary. Perhaps it is because Japan is in a very happy state now, so the Japanese do not skimp on the cost when advertising. The highest price over there was quoted by the Meiji Chocolate Company. At that time, I heard  Li Mingbao almost peeed when he saw the number given by the operator.  The quotation of 100 million almost frightened Li Mingbao into agreeing on the spot.  But later, Li Mingbao thought that such a quotation seemed to be submitted by the Japanese, so he calmed down a little.  One hundred million yen, even ten years later, will not be considered a big number. If calculated based on the price of one US dollar for one hundred and twenty yen, one hundred million yen is equivalent to more than eighty-three thousand US dollars.  .  But the problem is that the price of the Japanese yen is not yet that high, and the Plaza Accord has not yet begun. The current official exchange rate of the Japanese yen is about 260 yen per US dollar.  ??According to the ratio of 260 yen, 100 million yen is equal to more than 380,000 US dollars.  Although it is much higher than the price quoted by Korean Smecta, it is much lower than the price quoted by the Americans.  Because the Yankees use a common currency, they don¡¯t have to worry about conversions, and their quotations are simple and clear. Wells¡¯ chocolate may not be sold well in Europe and the United States, so it is very useful for opening up new markets.  Forced??, for a movie that can influence most East Asians, Welles seemed very courageous and directly gave an offer of US$500,000.
