Although everyone is unified on the issue of buying TV stations, how to buy TV stations and what kind of TV stations to buy is still a troublesome matter. Unlike Hong Kong, the only wireless TV stations in the United States are TVB and ATV. The number of TVB TV stations in the United States is quite large. Which TVB TV station Li Mingbao started with needs to be discussed. So even if everyone is determined to buy a TV station, this problem will not be solved for a while. It does not mean that you can buy the TV station if you have money. On this issue, Li Mingbao himself is actually more knowledgeable than his subordinates because he has a good relationship with 20th Century Fox and is also a good friend with John. For professional matters such as buying a TV station, it is best to find a boss. It's easy to solve. I don't know how much time it will take to buy it from below. "To buy a TV station, it will cost at least tens of millions of dollars, and procrastination is very troublesome. So Li Mingbao had to go to the United States again at this time. Of course, when he goes to the United States, Li Mingbao not only has to solve the problem of the TV station, but also wants to watch the movie "Terminator". Although Li Mingbao has become accustomed to running around, but this time going to the United States, Li Mingbao doesn¡¯t know how long it will take. If it is usually okay, but now is a critical time for the United Cinemas, if Li Mingbao remains silent If they run away to the United States, Uncle Liu and the others will definitely complain. So before going to the United States, I have to say hello to a few other people first. After settling a group of old foxes, Li Mingbao felt relaxed and flew to the United States with his team. This time, there was no need to show off when going to the United States, so there was no need for a chartered flight or anything like that. He just took a civilian airliner there. That's it. When he came to Los Angeles again, Li Mingbao suddenly realized that he had left the United States for more than half a year. In these six months, although he had some understanding of the development of DreamWorks, he also knew that Mary had done an outstanding job recently. Not only did she manage DreamWorks In order to be in good order, in addition to 20th Century Fox, we also found a North American distribution channel that belongs entirely to DreamWorks. Although Jiang Zhiqiang has done this before and achieved good results, it is completely incomparable to the current channels of DreamWorks. If Lee Ming-pao himself wanted to distribute blockbusters before, he could only rely on the channel of 20th Century Fox. If this channel is suddenly cut off now, Lee Ming-pao's own films can be distributed normally, although he cannot win as many as 20th Century Fox. screen, but compared to other Hong Kong film companies, it is not at the same level. Even compared to those film companies in Hollywood, there are many surpasses. ¡°A truly good film, with Mary¡¯s ability, can be directly displayed on 3,000 screens. Even a Hong Kong movie can be displayed on 1,000 screens. This kind of efficiency could not be achieved by Jiang Zhiqiang before. And not only that, even the distribution channels of video tapes have now expanded to the entire North America. Although the channels are still a bit weak, in some less important areas, other distributors are needed to contract, but in the main channels, Meng The factory now has no big gap with local film companies and can truly match the distribution capabilities of large film companies. Not only that, Mary is still at work, extending DreamWorks' hands to Europe. France now has some connections with the Democratic Republic of Germany and the Federal Republic of Germany. Although it is not possible to distribute movies, the video tape business can be carried out. Go down. After saying hello to Mary, Li Mingbao began to contact John. As for Cameron who was still working hard editing the film, Li Mingbao didn't interfere with him. It's not that Li Mingbao didn't care about the "Terminator" movie. It was because Cameron went completely crazy after he entered work mode. He is a producer. It is best not to show up when the filmmaker is editing the film. John felt very good about Li Mingbao, who was away from the United States most of the time. Although Li Mingbao maliciously guessed that John's good attitude toward him was mainly because he made good money for him. After several cooperations, John made money from Li Mingbao. With money, God could make money for him. If John didn't know what to do, his business wouldn't be so big. But no matter what, Li Mingbao called John the first day, and John had time to play golf with Li Mingbao the next day, which showed that John really did not treat Li Mingbao as an outsider. When he saw John again, Li Mingbao discovered that John had actually found a quite young female companion. Although Westerners looked older, the woman who was hooking up with John was not more than twenty years old by Li Mingbao's visual inspection. She was so young. He had a curvy front and a pretty good figure. When he was with an old guy like John, Li Mingbao felt very out of place. "Dear Li, you have made a lot of noise in Asia recently. Even Hollywood feels that youThe plan that Hong Kong came up with is quite terrifying. If Hollywood is not careful, you may even surpass it. "Seeing Li Mingbao arriving alone, John said with a smile. "Just tell a joke! No matter how big the plan in Hong Kong is, it is completely impossible to compete with Hollywood. These are completely two-level things. When you compare them, it's really a shame that you are so leisurely. Monopolizing the European and American markets, what does Hollywood have to fear? The only place in Hong Kong that can really be considered a big market is Japan, but the market in Japan cannot be compared with Europe and the United States. No matter how powerful it is, its power is actually just that. I believe that Hollywood treats this as a gimmick, but as for other things, it is just a joke. It¡¯s not like I don¡¯t know the situation in Hollywood at all, so it¡¯s pointless to say this. "Li Mingbao said angrily. "But the plan you made is really good. At least now the film market in East Asia is basically serving you in Hong Kong. Even the East Asian market, which was not so prominent in the past, now has many people in Hollywood paying attention to it. " John said to Li Mingbao. "It's good to have attention. At least in the future, Hollywood won't dismiss East Asian movies without even watching them. Maybe the movies I shoot in Hong Kong in the future can be released in Hollywood more easily. "Actually, I have never quite understood. Mr. Li, your talent is recognized in Hollywood, but why, Mr. Li, can't you put your main business in Hollywood instead of Hong Kong?" What about doing things? Do you think the money you make in Hollywood is not as much as the money you make in East Asia? "At this time, John, while holding the girl in his arms, asked Li Mingbao beside him. John was really curious about this matter. Li Mingbao is not an ordinary filmmaker in Hong Kong. He can be said to have been successful in Hollywood. Than Compared with those who have been unable to find a career in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao has an obvious inherent advantage in Hollywood. As long as he makes a few more movies in Hollywood and cooperates with 20th Century Fox, it will not be difficult for Li Mingbao to earn more. Money. But Li Mingbao returned to Hong Kong after filming "Home Alone". Although Li Mingbao also set up a company in Hollywood, and the movies produced by this company are doing well, but those low-cost movies , how can it be compared with those movies with a box office of over 100 million? John doesn't believe that Li Mingbao has no other good movies except "Home Alone". This may be true for others, but for Li Mingbao, it is definitely not the case. It's the same thing. Otherwise, DreamWorks wouldn't have developed to its current heights so quickly. To say that Li Mingbao didn't have any ideas in this is simply nonsense. Although John has eaten a "Home Alone", But John doesn't mind continuing to eat more similar series of movies. With Li Mingbao's talent, if he really focuses on development in Hollywood, then maybe 20th Century Fox will have many more movies now, so John is taking advantage of this. The question is also testing Li Mingbao¡¯s attitude. What does he think of Hollywood? Hearing John¡¯s question, Li Mingbao smiled: ¡°How can the East Asian film market be compared with Hollywood? I want to focus my main attention on Hollywood. Then I may be able to earn billions of dollars in cash flow by relying on movies. But in Hong Kong, even if I put all my effort into making movies, it would be difficult to earn one billion Hong Kong dollars in a short period of time. This is the gap between Hollywood and East Asia. I put most of my energy in Hong Kong because it is easier for me to control Hong Kong. As long as there are good movies and good ideas, it is easy for me to get ahead and eventually become the maker of the rules. It is not difficult. Things, including this Hong Kong circulation port plan, are actually an attempt of mine. When money reaches a certain level, it becomes a number. Apart from looking good, it does not have much practical meaning. In Hollywood, I will never be one of those people who make the rules. Even if I make more money, it will not be an achievement, but a burden. So in Hollywood, I don't plan to go too deep, just make a little money. It's very different in Hong Kong. If I do things sincerely, although I will definitely not make as much money as I do in Hollywood, there is a high possibility that I will become one of the people who make the rules. Under such circumstances, I will naturally make the most reasonable choice. In Hollywood, this is enough. DreamWorks makes a lot of money anyway, but I don¡¯t want to make too much money, which will end up making a group of people jealous, and then the money may not be able to be taken out. "
