    Li Mingbao's words were a little loud. After hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron frowned: "I wonder what your status is in the Hong Kong film industry, Mr. Li? This perspective of looking at the problem is a bit strange.  It¡¯s just average.¡± Cameron¡¯s words were quite polite, but everyone understood the meaning behind them.  The so-called "eating gutter oil and worrying about the South China Sea in my heart" refers to some amateur viewers.  Obviously, after Li Mingbao said this, he was also labeled as such by Cameron.  Although Cameron himself is a very arrogant person, he doesn't like to be with other arrogant people. There is no room for two tigers in one mountain. This is basically the truth.  What Li Mingbao said just now was really high-end and classy, ??as if an unknown person suddenly made rules in Hollywood, so ridiculous.  "Although I am relatively young, I can still speak for myself in the Hong Kong film industry. At least more than 90% of the theater market in Hong Kong is determined by my company. I am in charge of the United Cinemas in Hong Kong.  They are the major shareholders. And I have a very good relationship with the top film companies in Hong Kong. Normally, I won¡¯t encounter any problems if I want to shoot a movie in Hong Kong.¡± Li Mingbao said lightly.  "No way? How is this possible? Can Hong Kong cinemas control film companies?" Cameron was really surprised.  Although he does not have a deep understanding of the Hong Kong film industry, he also knows that the status of Hong Kong films in East Asia is quite high. Although it is far behind Hollywood, the area covered is still quite good, especially in the Japanese market.  , the treatment Hong Kong films receive in the Japanese market is even the envy of Hollywood today.  "This is normal. In fact, without me, the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong all have their own independent cinema channels. That is, because of the existence of cinema chains, their film companies will become the leaders of the Hong Kong film industry.  Company. This situation is actually similar to that before the Hollywood movie theaters were split. Now the Hong Kong film market has changed a lot, because the United Cinemas I established has covered most of the movie theaters in Hong Kong.  After receiving it, as long as Hong Kong does not establish corresponding legal measures, it is normal for my theater chain to affect the film schedule in Hong Kong. Because of this, I am very concerned about the healthy development of Hong Kong films.  There are certain means." Originally, Li Mingbao would not tell outsiders about such things, but for Cameron, Li Mingbao needs to gain his favor. After all, this person's achievements are rare in Hollywood. It is necessary to communicate with him.  Make good dealings.  Therefore, Li Mingbao does not hide his secrets in front of Cameron. This is also to increase his chips and let Cameron know how awesome he is.  Sure enough, after hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Cameron realized that Li Mingbao did have his own confidence when he said such big words. He was able to control the film company's film distribution. That was the existence of a film trust. Although Hong Kong is completely different from Hollywood.  There is no comparison, but no matter how small a place is, it is not an easy task to become a trust.  Even after knowing the news, Cameron felt that it would not be impossible if he really cooperated with Li Mingbao.  After all, although this guy is young, he is quite powerful, and being powerful is of great benefit to the filming of his own movies.  In this way, Cameron does not regard Li Mingbao as a simple Hollywood film company boss, but as a money-giving boy. ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? They don't care whether they lose money or not, they only care whether things go well or not.  "It seems that Mr. Li, you are really capable. In that case, let's talk about the script. I believe my script will never let you down." Cameron said excitedly.  Next, Cameron began to talk about the creativity of his script, and in order to win the trust of Li Mingbao and the others, he directly put the storyboards of the script in front of Li Mingbao and the others, and then explained the concept of the movie while talking about which shots required which  Stuff, how much does it cost.  After Cameron¡¯s introduction, not only Li Mingbao had a deep understanding of Cameron¡¯s script, but also Mary and Jiang Zhiqiang had a deep understanding of Cameron¡¯s script.  At this time, Mary also understood why Li Mingbao called this director who had no reputation at all just after letting go of the company.  To be honest, Cameron's script is very subversive to today's Hollywood, with a hint of madness.  And Mary doesn't happen to be a peaceful character, and madness suits his taste.  On the contrary, Jiang Zhiqiang doesn¡¯t have much emotion about such a science fiction film.?This can also be regarded as a problem with the vision of Hong Kong people. Except for people like Li Mingbao who are foresight, even Jiang Zhiqiang, a filmmaker who has been traveling in Europe and the United States, has quite little awareness of science fiction films.  After all, in Hong Kong, there is only one Ni Jiji who can be regarded as a science fiction talent. But if you really want to compare Ni Jiji's novels, they can only be regarded as soft science fiction, which is completely insufficient for the precise structure of the world.  It feels more like suspense, or the sci-fi stuff that appears at the end is quite blunt, and the world structure is a complete mess.  So Jiang Zhiqiang doesn¡¯t have a very good feeling about science fiction movies. No matter how detailed Cameron explains it, he doesn¡¯t have a good idea of ??whether it¡¯s a good movie or a bad movie. He can¡¯t judge based on this script.  But instinctively speaking, Jiang Zhiqiang does not want to invest in science fiction films.  So after listening to Cameron's words, Jiang Zhiqiang had to speak first: "I don't have a good idea about science fiction movies. I can't judge the market prospects of this type of movies. But boss, don't  I forgot, the sci-fi film Uncle Six made before failed at the box office in Hong Kong. Even if Hollywood is receptive, Cameron's idea is very novel. I don't know if the North American market will accept it.  "Although Jiang Zhiqiang said it was difficult to judge the market prospects, he compared it with the movie made by Uncle Six. Even any fool knows what he wants to express.  So Li Mingbao, who heard Jiang Zhiqiang's words, was a little bit dumbfounded.  Can Uncle Six¡¯s movies be compared to Cameron¡¯s movies?  This is simply a joke. Compared with a world-famous director who spares no expense for the effect of a movie, a poor imitator is as ridiculous as Zhang Fei beating Yue Fei. There is no comparison at all.  "Brother Qiang, Uncle Six's movie and this movie are completely different concepts, okay? When Uncle Six made that movie, I didn't agree with it, but Uncle Six decided to take on such a project, so the final movie  Even if it is not released, I understand that for someone as stingy as Uncle Liu, he is not suitable for shooting a big-budget movie, especially a movie like a science fiction film. You get what you pay for.  Uncle wants to save money and come up with good movies. Science fiction movies are definitely not a genre that he can grasp. The cost involved, even if it is one dollar less, the effect will be completely different. Investing in science fiction movies, especially  To achieve the effect like Mr. Cameron, you have to invest a lot. Uncle Six is ??reluctant to part with it, and naturally there will be no reward. But I am different from Uncle Six. Although I also started my career in small-budget movies, it does not mean that I will not be rewarded.  I don't know how to invest in big movies. If big movies want to make money, they must be sincere, and I am a very sincere person when it comes to investment," Li Mingbao said proudly.  "Yes, that's it. The budget for making a movie must be sufficient. Otherwise, after deletions, the effect of the movie will be greatly reduced, and it will not have a shocking effect. It seems that I am looking for you, Mr. Li, as my  Investors are the most suitable. Don't worry, Mr. Li, as long as you let me be the director of the movie and have the power to edit, I will definitely give you a satisfactory work." Cameron said now.  It's like meeting a soulmate.  Hearing what Cameron said, Li Mingbao was so happy that the corners of his mouth also twitched.  Cameron's budget for movies has always been a headache for film companies.  Not to mention a small company like his, even a giant company more than ten years later almost killed two giant companies because of his broken ship.  ¡°For such a person, if Li Mingbao hadn¡¯t known that he really had awesome abilities, he wouldn¡¯t have invested in Cameron even if he were beaten to death, so where would he be investing?  It's purely a game of competition, where the winner takes all and the loser collapses.  ¡°Had they not insisted on completing the filming of ¡°Titanic¡± and releasing it, those two giants would have been unlucky.  In this way, the issue of the release of the movie "Titanic" is also a big trouble.  If it weren't for the two giant companies that invested in him, just large companies, then releasing it would mean bankruptcy, and there would be no other way out.  After all, at the beginning, the box office of "Titanic" was not very good. The reason why it has such legendary box office is entirely because of its long release time, more than 40 weeks, which completely broke the release record.  This is how the companies behind them made huge profits.  If you change to a major film company, can you let the theater chain give you such face?  The release results were not very good, and the screen was immediately compressed, and then not long after, it was painted. If it had been then, "Titanic" might not have become a legend.  Therefore, the birth of a legend not only requires the quality of the movie itself, but also requires the support of giant companies.  Without any of these conditions, the film would not have become legendary.  An investment of more than 200 million US dollars is not something that a small company with cats and dogs can afford. Cameron isIt's very lucky that I can find such a rich person.
