"Li, I heard that you sent someone to collect information about the theater?" A representative of Fox asked.

The others also took their eyes back from the manuscript paper in their respective hands and stared at Li Mo.

"Yes, I am very optimistic about the future of the North American film market, and I plan to buy some theaters in the name of Io Studios at a reasonable price. But don't worry, I'm not going to be involved in the production industry...... Unless the Pixar studio I co-run with Steve Jobs might make a couple of animated feature films in the future. But you know, Jobs' acquisition of Pixar was kicked out by Apple, idle and bored, and acquired an expensive toy. But the animated feature film itself, well, is a purely computer-generated animated feature film, which involves a lot of computer technology. In this way, you will kill two birds with one stone, but you will not make many animated feature films, maybe one will be released in two or three years, and there will not be much competition with you. ”

Li Mo's entry into the computer industry is now clear.

Several ASUS computers have also attracted the attention of some media in the United States.

Li Mo has always attached great importance to fame, in fact, the effect is very significant, and his every move is often no less than an advertisement that costs millions of dollars.

Notebooks are not taken seriously by anyone now.

The American media paid attention to the remaining three computers, which are well configured, and the cheapest one is also medium-matched, and the price is more affordable.

But the configuration does not represent the quality of the computer,It also has a tuning、Teaching ability,Obviously,ASUS must be lacking in this area at the moment,In fact,ASUS's tuning and teaching ability is far inferior to Dell、Compaq and other companies,Not as good as Apple and IBM These old companies,After all, people have had several years of technical precipitation。

However, with this configuration and this price, there are still some people who are tempted.

Most computer companies don't take ASUS seriously either, only Dell looks at a few ASUS products and is a little nervous. Because its positioning and sales style are too similar to theirs.

Dale also deliberately wanted to come to Li Mo's phone and call Li Mo to inquire about the situation. He really doesn't understand, why are you using an ASUS computer to fight with me, why are you buying up our Dell shares on a large scale?

Li Mo replied, Dell, you often think about your competitors, it's best to shoot all competitors to death together, but you forget one thing, how to make this market bigger. And I have been planning for a long time, how to make the IT industry prosperous, so that it can form what I call the fourth industrial revolution. It's all revolutionary, what a huge market it will be, can you Dell alone digest such a big market?

Dale listened in a daze.

Li Mo said simply, you will know next year, and when the time comes, the entire IT industry will thank me, including you Dell.

But the emergence of ASUS, the biggest impact is not Dell, but Wanwan's Acer and the future of Lenovo.

Li Mo's explanation also eliminated everyone's biggest worries.

The entire film industry chain includes a lot, producers, distributors, theaters, peripheral manufacturers, games, animation, TV adaptations, TV and future network broadcasting, etc., among these industries, the producer is the ultimate industry, without movies, what about the following industries?

Each film company also has its own cinema chain, but Li Mo made it very clear that he is optimistic about the future of the film market, which is an investment, rather than entering the terminal industry of production, and there may be conflicts with each other, but the conflict will not be too big.

As for the right to speak, if Li Mo doesn't enter the theater industry, he won't have the right to speak? Let's wait and see what Colombia is going to do.

Everyone continued to look at the manuscript paper in their hands.

Paramount's representative looked at the production cost, and Li Mo wrote very clearly that it could not be less than $70 million. But it is understandable that many shots are fought in the air, of course, it is impossible to shoot any of them, some will use stand-ins, and some need to use computers to solve some special effects shots. But no matter how it is solved, the cost of filming this movie will not be less.

The cost makes him smack, even in 91, there are not many movies that are really produced at a large cost, there is only one, that is, "Jurassic Park 2", the actors' salaries have risen, the scene is even bigger, Paramount is the producer, naturally knows the inside story, it is almost finished, but after filming, computer special effects processing will be carried out, in fact, it can be released in the Christmas file, and the speed is very fast. But according to the feedback from the front, this cost may not be enough.

But it doesn't matter, because of the success of the first part, the second part of the product placement alone has earned more than 20 million US dollars. Although this "Air One" is not as influential as "Jurassic Park", the scene is also very popular, and more than 10 million product placement advertising fees can still be earned. That is, the actual production cost may only be about 60 million, and this investment capital is also acceptable to Paramount.

The essential......

"Li, such a production, coupled with special effects production, can it be released in time for June next year?"

"Time is very tight, but from now on, you have to quickly set up a project and grab this time."

"I'm still nervous."

"Do you Paramount want me to run in your U.S. election?"

"Indeed." The representative patted his head and said.

In fact, this movie really can't be delayed, drag it out, not to mention Air Force One, plus No. 2 and No. 3 came, and Forrest Gump was stepped on. Or Li Mo postponed "Forrest Gump" later, is it still a summer file? Li Mo has already taken into account Paramount's interests, otherwise if the two schedules are changed, the "President of the United States" will cry and faint on Air Force One.

Either it drags on and drags on, and the US presidential election is about to begin.

It's about the president, and it's about the Air Force.

What kind of impact will it have on the U.S. presidential election?

At that time, at least the American Democratic Party will definitely carry out a strong attack on Li Mo, can he be committed?

The U.S. presidential election generally begins in January, with the respective candidates being decided, and the process lasts until August. The candidates of both parties then conduct a road show, and after November, the American citizens go to the polls. In June, the impact was not great. Can't it be said that a movie with a main theme like "Forrest Gump" is still interfering in the presidential election?

What the representatives of several companies do not know is that in fact Li Mo wants to interfere, at least when Bush Sr. is president, he can continue to live happily for a few years, but he can't.

The reason is simple, stupid, economical! When the Da Luo Immortal comes, the US economy will not improve immediately, and the elder Bush will definitely be defeated. In that case, Li Mo would be tantamount to making enemies with Clinton in advance.

Fox's representative asked, "Lee, Tom doesn't have a tough guy temperament......"

Tom Cruise has also made two action blockbusters, but "Top Gun" is about the Air Force, "Top Gun" is about racing, and there are almost no fight scenes.

Although these outlines given by Li Mo are outlines, they are more detailed outlines, which not only tell the storyline of the entire movie in detail, but also write many precautions for shooting, and what is more valuable is that Li Mo drew many sub-shot illustrations.

It's not just for the sake of photographing, some of his memories are a little blurry, and while making sketch-like sketches, he recalls, and these hand-drawn sketches can also help him remember. But thanks to the advent of computers, if you write by hand, it is too inefficient.

At the end of the final draft, almost half of the sketches could still be retained, and Li Mo noted later which scenes they were used in, and it became a sketch of the storyboard. Therefore, it is not a script, but the whole story outline with these storyboard sketches can give people an even more intuitive impression of the film than the script.

Undoubtedly, it is a movie that is close to 007.

And this representative also knew that it was a TV series in the decades, and Li Mo bought the copyright and adapted it.

It doesn't necessarily have to be like Stallone, but this representative thinks of Tom Cruise's little white face, peach blossom eyes, and even Tom is suspected of facial paralysis, and it is obviously not suitable to be the protagonist of this movie.

Li Mo shook his head: "You don't have to worry, Tom will definitely bring you a surprise." ”

Tom is a little white face, but not a sissy, as for many male actors who appeared in China later than actresses, even more beautiful than Liu Tianxian, but also more delicate and charming, but also coquettish and charming, one is influenced by the Korean style, and the other is a pathological manifestation of the lack of monks.

Tom is obviously not, although he is a little white face, he has a tough heart, dares to fight, many dangerous special effects scenes, and dares to go into battle in person, which is why he was later recognized by Hollywood and the audience.

"Don't worry, everyone, you said that I was the best collaborator, and some of them were excessive, but I will never abolish the public because of personal reasons, such as "Youth Musical", I praised a few small artists, and I said it directly, even so, I believe that this movie can still make a little money, and it will not let Disney post it upside down. Also, there are a few artists in my economic company, you see, except for Carrey, who else appears on the list of starring scripts in your hands? ”

"Li Mo, do you think the North American market will further surge in the future?" Toshita Matsushita asked.

Panasonic's entry into the world was not very smooth, and it has been bumping and bumping.

Li Mo's opinion may be able to provide an important reference for Panasonic.

"Mr. Matsushita, you are Japanese, and you Japanese are more familiar with Chinese culture. There are several idioms in China, such as "full of lust and lust", and "lustful dogs and horses", which are all derogatory terms. But after a long time, life is stable, everyone has money in their hands, how many people don't pay attention to enjoyment? It's a derogatory term, but it also represents a kind of humanity. Because of the devastation of World War II, many countries are reflecting, and so are you, Japan......"

It's weird.

But as a qualified businessman, you have to learn to talk to people, and talk nonsense.

It's the real thing to be able to make money from the Japanese, not to pay lip service.

"There is also the shadow of a nuclear bomb, and no one dares to start a third world war, especially several major powers. If there is no large-scale frontal war between the major powers, the world as a whole will be peaceful. With savings in hand, everyone gradually focuses on enjoyment, rich people buy yachts, and ordinary people watch a movie, which is not unusual. This is the general trend, and the rise of new technologies will make movies more spectacular and attract more audiences to the cinema. So I said that the North American film market will get better and better, but when it will come, it is not clear. My investment in the cinema chain is only a long-term investment, and I have Rongdeke, Yile, Aiao Studio, and close ties with several of your companies, so with the cinema chain, I can systematically obtain more benefits in this industrial chain. ”

"Or to put it this way, these companies of mine are vines, absorbing the nutrients of the entire industry, and your companies are just a few towering trees, and what you need is your own independent management ability. For example, at MGM, your boss, Kerkorian, has a good relationship with me. But his business focus is on the real estate business in Las Vegas, and it can't be said that he is wrong to do this, he is a businessman and has his own business strategy. However, this is not good news for MGM. In the past few years, you MGM have only produced four or five movies a year, and some movies have not made money, but you MGM have to support so many employees, and you can only get worse and worse. ”

"So even if you own this big tree, you have to be willing to invest, and it is a reasonable investment, which is the most difficult part. It's related to me, or if I've planned a dozen movies directly, and the two movies of the new line don't count, they're games. The two films I made myself don't count, mainly because I compensated someone for their ......"

Everybody smiles, someone, you know.

"Among the rest of the films, "Snowpiercer" is not too good at the box office despite my support, and "Sleeping with the Enemy" is okay at the North American box office, but the global box office is not ideal. That's why I just gave that script...... Maybe I'll be on site and help with the shooting. ”

Warner likes to make some satirical movies about reality, and Li Mo is also afraid that this style will affect "Forrest Gump", if Warner makes a blockbuster with a main theme into a dark version of "Forrest Gump", it will be extremely bad.

Several representatives stared at the manuscript in Warnerdai's hand together, and Toshita Matsushita asked, "Li, are you saying that their script is better than ours?" ”
