"I really don't know how to answer this question. Not to mention domestic film issues, even the film circle in Hong Kong, I don't know much about it. To be honest, I entered this industry quite well. Unexpectedly. In the beginning, I made barbecue for our family. Then I made a little money, which made my family¡¯s life a little better. I remember that was in 1979. There was no room for me to interfere in the matter. At that time, I thought I should find something to do. It happened that my second brother was working at Wireless at that time, so I followed my second brother to the studio of Wireless to see how to shoot. TV series, I met a lot of friends there, and then I wrote a script about what happened in Shanghai in the 1930s and 1940s. In fact, the script was nonsense and had no basis. But I didn¡¯t expect that script to be approved by TVB. That¡¯s how I gradually came into contact with this industry. After that, I started writing novels, mainly because I heard that writing novels was very profitable. I also liked Mr. Cha¡¯s novels, and I also randomly wrote a script. I could make money by selling it, so I thought that if I wrote a novel, I might be able to make a good living. Then I got the novel published in Ming Pao, and I actually made some money, so I continued writing. I would definitely make money. , and then I wrote the novel while watching them make a TV series. Then, I thought that since the novel can be made into a TV series, can it be made into a movie? But there are also some problems in it, because the novels are relatively long. , it was suitable for making TV series, but not for making movies, so I made a shorter script that could be made into a movie, and then I asked Uncle Liu to cooperate with me. Unexpectedly, it was really successful, so I couldn¡¯t control it after that. My success is due to a lot of luck. People who have been in this industry for a long time will definitely not follow the same path as me. To put it bluntly, my story is not representative. Even in Hong Kong, there is no other person as successful as me. If I really want to talk about experience in this area, I have no choice. I am still confused. How can I pass on any experience to others? "Li Mingbao? Pretending to be lucky, I have everything I have now. Although Li Mingbao's words are actually nonsense, after all, although he was very out of touch at the beginning and let outsiders see it, he was losing money. In fact, Li Mingbao did so many things with a very strong purpose. sex. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Li Mingbao gives comprehensive consideration to every project he launches. Just like the movies he has made, until now, all the movies he has made, or the movies he has invested in, have historical success as a reference. He has never made a movie that failed at the box office, so others see People who don't know Li Mingbao's secrets think that Li Mingbao is very lucky, otherwise Uncle Six would not have given Li Mingbao a chance to get up at the beginning. Therefore, Li Mingbao's evasive language can be said with confidence even to the old leader, because Li Mingbao's matter has been analyzed by too many newspapers. Li Mingbao's own ability is on the one hand, but more newspapers have not Focus on reporting on Li Mingbao's luck. Otherwise, why did others fail to do what Li Mingbao did, and only Li Mingbao succeeded? This is nothing but luck. After hearing what Li Mingbao said, the old chief still smiled and said: "Luck is also a kind of strength. If you really want to say it, people who can succeed are lucky. Just like me, if it weren't for luck, I would have gone there a long time ago Marx, how can I still survive today? Since you are not familiar with the domestic film industry, I would like to ask you why Hong Kong¡¯s film industry is like this, not only can it satisfy Hong Kong¡¯s own market, but it can also compete in it. Enter other markets? I heard that your Hong Kong films are now very popular in East Asia. They are not only screened in South Korea, but also in places like Japan. You have not even let them go in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. Is there always a reason for your success in a good market? Especially the movies you make are very popular in these places? You always have some experience in this area. If you don't mind, you can share it with me. "A moment?" Hearing the old chief's words, Li Mingbao knew that if he didn't hand over some useful information, today's conversation would be wasted. So Li Mingbao pretended to be a little embarrassed and said: "Actually, movies are not that difficult, especially when the original purpose is to make money. Take my movies as an example. I make movies. The main purpose is to make money. As for other things, I have not considered it. So in film terms, my movie is.?It is a purely commercial movie. I have supervised several films myself, all of which are commercial films. To put it bluntly, it is just to make the audience willing to buy tickets to watch my movie. This is like cross talk in China, just to make everyone laugh. My movie is just for people to buy tickets so that I can make money. As long as you make movies with such a purpose in mind, it is not difficult to make money. Just like the movie "Home Alone" I shot in the United States, the central idea of ??the script of this movie is to be warm and funny. Movies with this theme have a large box office market in the United States. Others mostly use adults to express such themes. , I took the advantage of using children to express it. In this way, I can attract a lot of people's attention. With attention, there will be box office, making everyone relaxed and happy, and naturally my movie will make money. " "What do you mean, you just want to make a movie, and it should be pure and not preachy? "The old chief frowned. "As a family, this is my personal opinion on the movie. In fact, ideas like mine are not considered mainstream in the film industry. After all, many people make movies and hope to express their thoughts through movies. This type of movie is usually called an art film in the industry. "Li Mingbao explained. "Since your kind of movies are not mainstream, why don't you make literary films? "The old chief then asked. "It's not making money! "Li Mingbao replied helplessly: "My purpose of making movies is very clear, that is to make money. As for other things, I don't think about it at all. After all, it would certainly not make sense for a person of my age to have any intellectual achievements. ¡°And I myself don¡¯t plan to do anything so serious right now. After all, I am still young, and I am a person who likes to have fun, not so pure. If I were to make a literary film, I would definitely not be able to produce any good results. In this case, I simply regard movies as a tool to make money. That's why I have this kind of net worth now. In today¡¯s world, everything depends on money. Especially in Hong Kong, if you don¡¯t have money, you have no status, and you even have to save money on food. It¡¯s not like we haven¡¯t lived through hard times in Hong Kong. Now that life has gotten better, I don¡¯t like to go back even more. Although money is not everything, there is absolutely nothing you can do without money in Hong Kong. The same principle applies in the United States. If I had no money in the United States, I wouldn't be able to make movies. If I couldn't make movies, I wouldn't be able to get to know giants like Twentieth Century Fox. Without knowing such giants, most of my current assets would be There is no source channel. Without these funds, we will have no money to invest. To put it inappropriately, if I didn't make any money from the movie, our family would really have no shame in returning to the mainland with just the income from writing the book. " Li Mingbao's words are quite practical. The underlying meaning is that if our Li family had no money, the treatment we would receive when we returned to the mainland would not be the same as it is now. I can still sit in front of you, this is simply a joke. " The old man understands. Li Mingbao said with a sigh: "If money is used properly, it will be of great benefit to the country and the people. If it is not used properly, it will turn into a disaster. Internationally, without money, it is impossible to strengthen one's waist, but if it is fully monetized, problems will arise. Ideological confusion will sooner or later bring down a country that relies on money. People always have to have faith. People without faith are miserable. ¡°Xiao Li, you are still young and don¡¯t know what faith is, but you must remember it. A truly successful person will have a firm belief, and belief, in its broadest form, is actually belief. Whether it is belief in oneself or belief in others, it is all belief, and people who do not have a firm belief will It is easy to be interfered by the outside world and make wrong judgments, which may lead to heavy losses in the end. You have become famous now, so you can¡¯t take money too seriously. Only by improving your own abilities can you develop better and faster. We people use money, not be slaves to it. ¡°Just like movies, it has been decades since their emergence. When this industry first emerged, there was nothing special about it. But why are there ideological differences in movies now? It's because he has something special and is valuable for people to take advantage of. If you do not conduct in-depth research on this value, you will easily encounter problems in this area. Whether you are responsible for your own industry or your own life, you cannot simply regard the film industry as a tool to make money. Otherwise, if you get lost in money, big problems will easily occur. As soon as such a problem arises and you don't deal with it well, the money you work hard to earn now will be fleeting, and in the end, you will get nothing. ¡± If it were another person, the old leader would never give such an earnest and thoughtful lecture.??Because the people who can discuss such issues with him are all people with a firm stand and their own beliefs. The old chief's words will not be of much use, and he will inevitably be laughed at and said that he loves preaching.
