    But now, Cameron has to give this producer the most enjoyable experience to work with, bar none.  I called him again because Dadi was about to get tired of making movies and he couldn't make it anymore without finding a producer.  "Mr. Li, I don't know if you, the producer, really care about your investment. Seventy-five million US dollars, even in the United States, is not a small amount. But why do you, the investor, not care at all?  Have you ever cared about it?" Li Mingbao could clearly feel the resentment in Cameron's tone on the other end of the phone.  Regarding Cameron¡¯s resentment, can Li Mingbao say that he really almost forgot about this matter?  Of course not.  That would be a huge blow to Emperor Cameron. Li Mingbao was still waiting for the Emperor to cooperate with him in the future. How could he be so careless?  "Mr. Cameron, of course I am very concerned about my investment. Seven and a half million US dollars is not seven and a half million yen. Such a large amount of money is not a small amount for me.  How can you say that I don't care about the money at all? In fact, I do, but I believe in your ability, Mr. Cameron, and I feel comfortable investing in your movie to avoid disturbing you.  Work ideas." Li Mingbao said with a sincere face on the phone.  Li Mingbao really doesn¡¯t need to worry too much about the movie made by the emperor. At least in the history that Li Mingbao knows, the emperor has never lost money in making movies. Although many of his movies are thrilling, they can pass smoothly after all.  , what does Li Mingbao have to be afraid of?  Besides, with the quality of "Terminator", Li Mingbao has nothing to be afraid of. If all the movies that can be included in American film textbooks are sold out, Li Mingbao really won't have any movies he dares to invest in.  Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s explanation, Cameron¡¯s face was very thick, but he was also a little blushing. Fortunately, he was on the phone and not directly face to face with Li Mingbao.  Li Mingbao's subconscious statement means that he has too much control over the crew?  This reputation is not very pleasant. Although in fact he is indeed such a person, being such a person is different from being said to be such a person by others.  Especially when these words came from the mouth of producer Li Mingbao, it was quite embarrassing.  In this era, Cameron is not as awesome as the later "Titanic". Even his current "Terminator" is actually his first real handheld director.  , so having this reputation is actually a considerable burden for Cameron.  "Mr. Li, actually I really want to communicate more with producers like you. I have been in Hollywood for a long time. This is the first time I have met a producer like you who is easy to talk to. I just  But Mr. Li, you have too many things to do. Even if I want to talk to you, I can't find anyone. Under such circumstances, what can I do?" Cameron said helplessly.  .  What Cameron said is definitely not a lie. Think about what Li Mingbao did during this period after the filming of "Terminator" started, and you will understand how busy he is. He traveled to the United States and Hong Kong together.  And they all have big moves, and you are not afraid of big moves in general. The problem is that Li Mingbao¡¯s big moves are all done in a short period of time, whether it is the reform of the film company in the United States or the large-scale one in mainland China.  Development, or even focusing on the CCTV advertising business, is not an easy task, and even in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao¡¯s hometown, the establishment of a distribution port is even more vigorous. Any of these things is better than "Terminator"  This movie has a huge impact and investment. Li Mingbao is busy with so many things, how can he still have time to take care of a movie?  He hasn't made a movie in the past six months, let alone whether he can care about the movies he invests in. Even if the money is thrown into the water, he doesn't care. Of course, with Cameron as the great emperor  Bear in mind, this movie will definitely not lose money.  Under such circumstances, it is really difficult to win over Li Mingbao.  "I understand what Mr. Cameron means. I really don't care enough about the crew. The main reason is that I have a lot of other business recently and I have no time at all. If Mr. Cameron hadn't called me today,  Come here, maybe I will get on the plane and fly to Taiwan now. I am very confident about the movie "Terminator". The main reason is that with Mr. Cameron as the director, I believe in your movie.  , it¡¯s not bad at all, so Mr. Cameron, please bear with me for this crew issue. Anyway, Mr. Cameron, you don¡¯t need to worry about the release. I have already contacted 20th Century Fox.  At the company, they are responsible for distribution, I believe Mr. Cameron you will not be dissatisfied," Li Mingbao said to Cameron on the other end of the phone with a smile.  "I know Mr. Li, you?The relationship with 20th Century Fox is very good, and what I want to say now is not about the crew, nor about distribution, nor is it about asking you, Mr. Li, for additional investment, but that the filming of this movie has been completed so far.  Even the post-production special effects are now done.  The main reason I am calling you is to tell Mr. Li that you can take this film for editing.  "What the hell, this is the first time I've seen a producer like you who is so irresponsible for a movie. Can you solve any problem just by believing in it?"  I admit that Mr. Li, you have spared no effort in supporting me on this film, and I am grateful to work with a producer like you, but this cannot hide the fact that you are indifferent to the film.  I like you as a producer who puts no restrictions on directors, but I hate your perfunctory attitude towards movies. Are all your movies produced like this?  Can't you think more about the movie?  "Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron not only was not grateful, but started to go berserk. Working with a producer who does not limit himself at all, Cameron is absolutely happy. But no matter how happy he is, it must be for the movie  Think about it, as a very pure filmmaker, Cameron attaches great importance to his first movie, but when he attaches great importance to Li Mingbao, he gets all the words of belief. How can this not be allowed?  Cameron goes berserk? With just one word of belief, all the perfunctory things can be covered up. This is not what a movie maker should do. If Cameron was still grateful for Li Mingbao's loose management style, now he wants to go out.  During the demo, the producer Li Mingbao did not fulfill his obligations at all. This is an irresponsible idea. Li Mingbao could smell Cameron's strong smell on the phone, but he was not satisfied with the sudden outburst.  Cameron, who had a bad temper, was very confused. ¡°I know about the post-production of the movie. Didn¡¯t you fax it to me before?  Haven't you started editing "Terminator" yet?  This is your job, why are you pushing it to me?  You are still angry at me. Do Hollywood directors require me as a producer to do even tasks such as editing, instead of you as a director?  "    "What?  Shall I do the editing?  God!  Mr. Li, are you confused? Shouldn't work like editing be done by people from your company?  "Hearing Li Mingbao's answer, Cameron was even more surprised than Li Mingbao. "How could it be done by people from our company?  I am just a producer, responsible for investment and release. Shouldn¡¯t it be the director¡¯s responsibility to take the form in which a movie should be presented to the audience?  Could it be that I, a producer who has been on the set for less than a week in total, am more familiar with the movie you are shooting than you, the director?  "Li Mingbao said unhappily at this time. "He is indeed very optimistic about the emperor, but now the emperor has put the work he should do in his own hands. What does this mean? Your Cameron movie needs someone else to edit it.  , how many people in Hollywood dare to have such confidence? Li Mingbao never thought that his film literacy would be higher than this guy who drives a truck. He only makes movies to the level of imitation, but like Cameron  People, but pioneers, have different levels. Cameron asked him to edit the film. Was it because he wanted DreamWorks to make a fool of himself? Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron was a little confused on the other end of the phone. It took a long time.  He said, "Mr. Li, are you really the Mr. Li who made Home Alone in Hollywood?"  Don¡¯t you know that few directors are qualified to get editing rights for movies released in Hollywood? Directors with such power are all real big directors in Hollywood. I also hope that I have editing rights, but I only shoot like this  A novice director of his first film is not eligible to have editing rights.  Are your movies, including those from your company, all directors editing their own movies?  " Hearing Cameron's helpless words with a bitter tone, Li Mingbao suddenly remembered that Hollywood movies and Hong Kong movies are completely different concepts. Just like Cameron said, you can have editing rights in Hollywood.  There are not many directors who are really successful, and among those directors, which one is not truly successful? Although Cameron will have this confidence in the future, at least for now, Cameron really does not have the power to edit movies.  Li Mingbao also understood that what he and Cameron just said was just talking about chicken and duck. How can a guy who has always had the power to edit his own movies understand the pain of others, whether in Hong Kong or in China?  In Hollywood, there are not many directors who can actually edit their own movies. The reason why Li Mingbao has never encountered such a problem is because he didn't understand it until Cameron mentioned it.  When it comes to making a movie, I don¡¯t take the usual path.nbsp;His first movie was invested and shot by himself, and in the end he edited it himself.  Then we borrowed Shaw Brothers theaters to screen the film.  And with the success of the first film, he has basically been eating alone in the subsequent films. He is not only the producer of the film, but also the actual director and even an investor. With such power as editing, who can compete with him?  Fight?
