    "Delegate power and money? Is your statement very new? Will you encounter administrative troubles when making movies in Hong Kong?" the old chief said.  "That's not true. The connection between Hong Kong film companies and the Hong Kong government is at most the review issue before the movie is released. At other times, there is basically no connection. As for what I said about delegating power and money, this sentence originally  To put it simply, since you are interested in listening to it, old chief, let me say a few more words. Delegation of power is my delegation of power to the crew of a movie. As long as it is planned according to the script, there will be no problems in the release and the characteristics of the movie.  As long as there are no problems, I basically don¡¯t have any other requirements for the crew. When making a movie in Hong Kong, there are not just one or two people who need to ask about how a movie should be shot. The most important one is the contradiction.  It¡¯s the conflict between the director and the producer. In the Hong Kong film industry, the producer has great power. Although the director is the real soul of a film, if the producer denies the director¡¯s ability,  Then the final shooting method of this movie will not be based on the director's ideas, but on the producer's ideas. For my movies, I have basically never been a director. I usually do it.  Producer. I am different from other producers because I know a lot about movies, so as long as the director fails to make my movie, I rarely give other opinions. Maybe someone said this.  They would say that I am lazy because being a producer actually gives the director so much power. But in my opinion, as long as the director doesn¡¯t ruin my movie, why should I bother to care about them so much?  As long as the shots they come up with are better than what I expected, it's not difficult to change the script of the movie. I'm not interested in showing my authority in the shooting of the movie. I'm only interested in the final shape.  I was not interested in the movies that met my requirements. Therefore, among the few movies I produced, the final box office was quite satisfactory. This was due to my screenplay, the efforts of the actors, and the director¡¯s filming. However,  In the final analysis, it is because I dare to delegate power and not interfere with the director's ideas, and achieve good results. You must know that the most important thing in movies is continuity. Every director has his own unique style. After basically determining the shooting ideas.  , the requirements of the producer and director have already been met. Under such circumstances, if the producer wants to show his presence from time to time, then it will be easy to erase the spirit of the film when the film is produced, making it appear that  It's a bit messy, and the shots and content become confusing. Such a movie is a bad movie. It will not produce any results, but will lose money. I never like to make a loss-making business, so I will try my best to make things clear first.  Let the director shoot the movie according to his performance and make the content coherent. It is easier to understand that before me, Hong Kong movies were usually shoddy, especially Shaw Brothers' movies. Their movie market was really poor.  It was too small, and the entire market became sluggish. The failure of Shaw Brothers was due to its strict control of funds. Although I also have strict control of funds, I even have professional accountants to make statistics on the funds for film shooting.  But when I was making movies, I was not like Shaw Brothers who strictly controlled money everywhere. When I invested in movies, I had to spend money where money should be spent, and I didn¡¯t spend money that shouldn¡¯t be spent.  .  It's not like Uncle Liu who constantly controls what should be spent and what shouldn't be spent. In that case, in the end, the investment in the movie will only be in vain, and in the end you will lose money.  When I first started making movies, I didn¡¯t have much money, so I tried to save as much as possible at that time. But even then, I didn¡¯t make movies half-heartedly. The money I had to spend had to be spent, and I just controlled it elsewhere.  cost.  But when I get rich later, when I make a movie, not only will the money needed to spend on the movie itself be relaxed, but also other aspects, such as the actors¡¯ remuneration and the salary of the behind-the-scenes team, I will try to give as much as possible.  Some are just for everyone to make money, and the money is basically released in this area.  Just like the movie "A Better Tomorrow" I shot, if Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest were to shoot that movie, they would never have spent more than three million Hong Kong dollars. This also includes the actors' remuneration and behind-the-scenes wages, but  When I made that movie, I spent a total of five million Hong Kong dollars.  By doing this, it doesn¡¯t mean that I have too much money and no place to spend it. The main thing is that it will have good results in terms of the quality of the film.  If they were allowed to shoot it, such a movie might have a good box office in Hong Kong, and the box office in East Asia would also be quite good.  ¡°But if you want to make money in Hollywood with a movie like that, it¡¯s basically impossible, and the box office will definitely not be too big.  But according to my approach, I not only made a lot of money in East Asia for that movie with an investment of HK$5 million, but also made a lot of money in East Asia.?In Hollywood, that is, in the entire North American market, my movie has a box office of 30 million US dollars. Although there is a huge gap in box office compared to my other movie, but just think about my costs, no matter how you calculate it  I've always made a lot of money.  From the box office in North America alone, I can get more than 10 million U.S. dollars. Even after tax is deducted, the cash I get is about 10 million U.S. dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be 100 million Hong Kong dollars.  An investment of five million Hong Kong dollars can get a return of twenty times. This is just a market. For the money I spend, won¡¯t I earn back more?  The additional investment of two million Hong Kong dollars gave me an additional North American market and earned me an additional 100 million Hong Kong dollars. Such a rate of return cannot be considered a loss, right?  "Li Mingbao said this, and his heart was full of pride. "This is an example of how to make money by spending money. If he had not invested two million Hong Kong dollars in it, then even if he had a good relationship with 20th Century Fox, this film  The movie will not have such a high box office. The North American market alone has brought a return of 20 times to Li Mingbao. If an additional investment of two million is used, Li Mingbao's return can even reach 50 times.  Even in the stock market, few people can make big money at such a rate, and only movies have such charm. ¡°It¡¯s not a loss, it¡¯s just a small investment, big returns.  No wonder other old Hong Kong filmmakers basically don¡¯t make much money in Hollywood, but young comrades like you are like a fish in water there.  I'm afraid your concept of making movies like this is the key to your success there.  But your experience does not have much reference value for our country.  Because the most important task of our domestic film companies now is to satisfy the domestic market. As for foreign markets, with their current capabilities, they are still unable to cope.  On the issue of decentralization, the mainland film industry is fundamentally different from your Hong Kong film industry. Although it is a market economy now, the film market still needs to be strictly controlled. Some things cannot be broadcast, which can easily cause problems.  The ideological confusion cannot be solved overnight.  In addition, domestic film studios usually have their own tasks. If the market economy is fully implemented, the tasks assigned to them by the state will not be completed.  As for releasing money, it goes without saying that it is not easy for everyone, and the higher-level management departments do not have any money.  If you put money into movies, it will be difficult to resolve other terms and conditions.  Generally speaking, the domestic film market needs to be reformed, but we cannot give up our main functions just because of reform.  In this way, you will lose a lot for a small amount and lose more things.  Let me tell you, since you, a little comrade, have such a deep understanding of the film industry, and our country needs talents like you to guide the work, otherwise, you might as well just make movies in China.  While guiding the development of the domestic film market, you don¡¯t have to let go of the company you currently own. It¡¯s a perfect way to kill two birds with one stone.  "The old chief said here, and the idea of ????poaching people was completely exposed. Regarding the idea of ????letting Li Mingbao come to China to reform the film market, this idea was not the old chief's whim. In fact, when Li Mingbao and his team came to the mainland,  The old chief has such an idea. After all, foreign businessmen who come to the mainland these days also attach great importance to security issues. Not to mention that they will turn your old background upside down, but the general things cannot be mistaken.  , although the mainland is not very good at collecting business intelligence this year, this is because they do not need to understand it, and for a big investor like Li Mingbao, they naturally need to understand Li Mingbao's latest work.  If you don¡¯t understand, why can¡¯t you understand some information from a few months ago? So the old leader is quite sure that Li Mingbao can stand out despite being controlled by various big guys in the Hong Kong film industry.  And recently he put the former boss under his banner. How can a simple character with such abilities be able to play well? Although Li Mingbao's rise has many surprises, such as Uncle Six's attitude at the beginning, but no matter what,  , Li Mingbao's own ability is sufficient, otherwise even if Uncle Six gives others the opportunity, others may not be able to take the chance. So when it comes to now, the old leader took the initiative to poach him in front of Li Mingbao, and gave him a fair treatment.  It's not low. To guide the reform of mainland films, and at the same time be able to take charge of their own industry. If the people from the Guangzhou Bureau said this, perhaps this guidance would have to be greatly discounted.  Be careful, it won't be difficult for them to take back their power. But the credibility of these words is quite high as long as Li Mingbao doesn't commit suicide. From now on, he will be a fool.  Many years later, Li Mingbao's status in the domestic film circle will be, in other words, in the overall film industry.The status of the entertainment industry is definitely higher than that of Mr. Han.  Han Sanye will still have checks and balances from various bureaus of the Guangxi Bureau in the future, but the chicken feather token that Li Mingbao took from the old chief will not have such checks and balances. As long as he can satisfy the old chief and achieve results, Li Mingbao will be in the future in the future.  He is definitely the number one in mainland China's entertainment industry. No one can shake him, even all kinds of situations can't do anything to him.
