    Some obscure reminders from John made Li Mingbao understand the reason why "Terminator" was released smoothly.  But Li Mingbao couldn't figure out the deeper things for the time being.  After all, although all his industries here in the United States are very profitable, he actually didn't spend much effort. Everything was created based on plagiarism.  Li Mingbao only understands some superficial things about why these industries are so successful and why those programs are so eye-catching.  He simply doesn¡¯t understand the more detailed stuff. Who makes Li Mingbao half-American?  If Uncle Liu and the others do something about the situation in Hong Kong, Li Mingbao will be able to guess a rough idea. After all, he is too familiar with the situation in Hong Kong and has rich experience. Coupled with these years of experience, Uncle Liu can guess the situation in Hong Kong.  If they wanted to make something, they really couldn't hide it from Li Mingbao.  But regarding the situation in the United States, Li Mingbao really didn't know much about it. Even the things in his memory were not in-depth understanding.  This is not to blame the big boss. In the era when he was rampant, the situation in Hollywood in the United States was basically mythical. The big boss knew some of the big market trends that could be probed by the outside world, but more inside information,  Not to mention now, even thirty years later, it is still kept secret. If he has not personally experienced some things, he will not know more than others.  Under such circumstances, it was a little too difficult for Li Mingbao to guess the intentions of the film companies at once.  Of course, for Li Mingbao now, there is no big difference between knowing and not knowing about such things.  If he knows, he can't do anything more beneficial to himself. If he doesn't know, he won't make things worse. It can be said that such things will not have much impact on him.  Even if the movie is successful and causes all the giant companies to enter the field of science fiction movies, it will not have much to do with Li Mingbao, because he will not make science fiction movies for at least several years.  It¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t see the development potential of this type of movie, but he is very clear that the science fiction movies of this era may not have many shortcomings in terms of software. The most indispensable thing for human beings is imagination. Ordinary movies more than a hundred years ago  Erner predicted big killers like airships, submarines, and airplanes without anything actually appearing.  Later, scientists actually figured out these things because of his tips.  Verne¡¯s imagination obviously reached the sky.  So if people in Hollywood really want to enter this field, at least in terms of scripts, there won't be any problems.  Some of the settings of Hollywood movies about the future world are also in line with the development of the times. Therefore, a script with extraordinary imagination is not difficult for Hollywood, including actors and directors.  It's a big problem. As John said, as long as Hollywood is willing to spend money, even directors who are not good at making science fiction films will be able to make good science fiction films under pressure.  According to this statement, it seems very simple to make a good science fiction movie.  But the fact is the opposite. Until thirty years later, there were not many science fiction movies that could really be called good.  Even big-budget science fiction movies have a lot of flops, and many movies even directly ruin a series that originally had potential.  This may have something to do with the director, but the more important reason is that the hardware of these movies is not strong enough and there is a big generation gap. Under such circumstances, even if the investment is huge, due to hardware problems, it will be  The movie didn't turn out as expected.  Does science fiction film have development potential?  Of course there is, but the problem is that if you want to shoot a science fiction movie well when the hardware is not up to standard, in Chinese terms, it means getting twice the result with half the effort.  Trying ten times as hard but only getting half the result is simply thankless.  It is enough for Li Mingbao to do such a thing once. After all, investing in this movie is actually quite profitable now. The investment is not too much, but the return is quite generous.  There is no reason for Li Mingbao not to do such a thing, but if he wants to continue to invest in this type of movie, Li Mingbao has absolutely no interest.  First of all, it is due to investment issues. If you want to shoot a science fiction movie well in this era, the investment must be huge, and there must be no mistakes in the middle. As long as there is a problem in a certain link in the middle, the effect will be a chain.  Sexually, all efforts will eventually be in vain.  Although the income looks high, the actual return on investment is not that great.  In addition, the risks involved are too great. Li Mingbao is not ready to really expand his territory in Hollywood and directly compete with those giants. Such a big movie will not be made by Li Mingbao at least for ten years.  Unless the hardware conditions?With substantial improvement, the cost of shooting movies can be reduced to a reasonable range, so that Li Mingbao will still be somewhat interested.  But now, no matter how big the interests are in science fiction movies, it is enough for Li Mingbao to just make such a movie. It is a good thing for Li Mingbao to increase his sense of presence, show up at the right time, and let others know his existence.  Come on, if you want to get more benefits, with Li Mingbao's current strength, you still can't do it.  After all, the film industry and Hollywood have tacitly accepted that Li Mingbao, an outsider, controls the profits of a niche film category. Then Li Mingbao should know what he is interested in. If you want to get more things, others may have to give you your current plate.  Open.  By then you won¡¯t even be able to eat what you are eating now.  This kind of thing happens not once or twice in Hollywood.  Li Mingbao dares to be ruthless in the television industry and earn excess profits. That is because in this industry, Li Mingbao has grabbed two big legs. The profits of his company are actually divided into three parts, and there are two other big legs to give him.  If he can prevent disaster by himself, then as long as Li Mingbao doesn't force other film companies to have no way of survival at all, then he can live a prosperous life.  But in the film industry, he did not have such good conditions. He did not distribute the shares of DreamWorks Film Company to other bosses.  So if it really gets bigger, even Twentieth Century Fox may not come forward to settle the problem for DreamWorks. After all, they have no actual interests in DreamWorks. Just based on some goodwill, they want such a giant to help them solve the problem.  Everything, that is definitely a delusion, something without benefit, John will never care too much.  The one who suffers in the end is always Li Mingbao.  That¡¯s why Li Mingbao adheres to the principle of ¡°it doesn¡¯t matter¡± when it comes to the genre of science fiction movies. It¡¯s good to make a lot of money, but it doesn¡¯t matter if you don¡¯t make too much.  Anyway, he will not touch this subject again for a long time. The profits are huge, but the pressure on funds is too great, and it is not something he can play well now.  When there are still so many industries that need to be developed in mainland China, it is obviously not a sensible thing to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in filming movies in the United States.  No matter what, having someone help when the movie is released is definitely a good thing for Li Mingbao.  Li Mingbao will naturally be happy when such a good thing happens to him.  As for any deeper reasons, Li Mingbao can't control it now. Anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his own interests, it's a good thing. If it does, then he has to make some choices.  Seeing that Li Mingbao did not continue to ask everyone for a deeper reason for helping, John breathed a sigh of relief and felt baffled.  Doesn't Li Mingbao understand that there is no free lunch in this world?  Why is Li Mingbao's heart so big?  It's so strange to hear someone help someone without asking for the specific reason.  So John asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Li, aren't you curious about why others want to help you?" "What's so curious about this? Didn't you say that those giant companies use me as a pathfinder? Since as a  Naturally, I have to have the consciousness to be a pathfinder. In addition, doing so has only advantages and no disadvantages for me. So why should I get to the bottom of it? Anyway, with my ability in Hollywood, even if it is  I want to detect something, but I can't find it. In this case, why should I waste my efforts? If I really need to be used, those giants will always find me.  If I can't figure it out for a long time, I might as well wait for them to take the initiative. This will save me a lot of effort, right? As long as it doesn't stop me from making money, everything else can be easily discussed." Li Mingbao said very naturally.  "What if the purpose of those people is to prevent you from making money? Or what if they want to intercept the fruits of your labor? You know, if your movie is successful, it will be a big deal for the entire Hollywood. After all, science fiction  The subject matter of movies itself has considerable potential. Since Star Wars, everyone has noticed the potential of this type of movie. However, since several movies of this type have been filmed since, the results have not been very good.  , so this subject matter has become sinking again recently. But it doesn¡¯t mean that everyone really ignores this type of movie. If your movie is successful, it means that there is no problem with this type of movie itself. Problems arise only because of other movies.  If this conclusion is reached, then other companies will definitely enter this type of film shooting. Then it will not be easy for you to make a living in this type of film.  Isn't it blocking you from making money?" John said to Li Mingbao anxiously.  Judging from his appearance, he seemed to be very concerned about Li Mingbao's future.  Hearing what John said, Li Mingbao finally understood why those giant companies were so active.  Important??If their plan is really like this, then they really have little to do with Li Mingbao.  After all, Li Mingbao has already made a choice that he will not make science fiction films in Hollywood for at least ten years, even if it is a sequel to The Terminator.  In this way, the plans of those companies were completely useless to Li Mingbao.
