Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Early the next morning, Li Mingbao got up early, and since he asked everyone to gather at Shaw Brothers today, if he, the protagonist, arrived very late, it would undoubtedly ruin the atmosphere. Although he is qualified to be late as a big man, Li Mingbao understands that it is not the time for him to put on a score, and what is in front of him is not a broad road.

Although he has a good script and a good actor, it is definitely not a small number in Hong Kong to see his jokes, at least the six uncles and six aunts will not like him to continue to succeed, of course, it is good if he succeeds. But the sixth uncle and six aunts don't like Li Mingbao too dazzling after all.

And although Boss Lei seems to be on his side after the last incident, how can the big guy's mind be clear with one or two statements? In the face of such people, only if you continue to succeed will you make them recognize the reality, and now Li Mingbao's filming is a good opportunity for them to recognize the reality.

As for Golden Harvest, although it seems to be harmonious now, they may not mean anything else. After all, Li Mingbao has been in the limelight for the past two years, and he is still an insider, although he has given them some benefits, but the fact that Li Mingbao came out to grab a job, even if he gives more benefits, he can't change, unless Li Mingbao is willing to go to a certain company.

But in that case, it will inevitably break the current power of the Hong Kong film industry, if the Shaw Brothers have Li Mingbao, then the Shaw Brothers Films and the Shaw Brothers Cinemas will have a big change, not to mention that they can turn losses into profits, but at least they will not let the sixth uncle continue to bleed, and they can be regarded as making a profit.

And if Li Mingbao joins Princess Jin, then Princess Jin's attack power will be stronger, and with Lei Juekun, the ambitious boss, only God knows what kind of movement he will make.

Even if Li Mingbao joins Golden Harvest, Boss Zou will have more confidence, whether it is in the Hong Kong film industry or in Hollywood, there will be more exhibitions. So Li Mingbao is a shuffler for the current Hong Kong film industry, for the Hong Kong film industry that is accustomed to the status quo, people like Li Mingbao who are not easy to control are actually not so popular, although the background of the Hong Kong film industry is not very deep, and an external cause can lead to a lot of things, but for people who are content with the status quo, any external cause will not be popular, and this Boss Lei has suffered enough.

When the new art city was established, he was dragged back by other people, so that even if he had a theater in his hand, he sometimes had to compromise. This also made the new art city gain a firm foothold later, and he couldn't wait to get back the face he had lost before and gain a strong reputation.

Like Mecca Shi Tian, they may not understand the truth of excess, but the problem is that Xinyi City is already attached to Princess Jin, and Boss Lei's opinion is the most important. For an ambitious person, it's nothing too much, and dominating the rivers and lakes is the show he likes to see. But it's a pity that Boss Lei has a heart, but his health is not good, and the good days have not passed for a few days, but his body has collapsed.

As soon as Boss Lei fell, Xinyicheng became a target, and Boss Lei's grievances, others were still on Xinyicheng's head, so that in the end, even if they wanted to end peacefully in Mecca, they couldn't do it peacefully, and in the end, they could only fall under everyone's bayonets, and Xinyicheng became a thing of the past.

The current Li Mingbao has a better start than Boss Lei, but Li Mingbao makes money too fast, so that people who didn't pay attention to Li Mingbao have begun to pay attention to him, so although the start is good, the pressure he is facing now is better than that of Boss Lei.

Boss Lei still has a cinema line in his hand to support, and he also has a film company in his hand, so he can barely cope with the pressure. But Li Mingbao now has no cinema in his hands, no talent, only the advantage of strong capital.

Although having money can make others take care of Li Mingbao, for fear that Li Mingbao will throw money on his head, the strength of this threat is not very large. As long as Li Mingbao starts spending money in Hong Kong, other people will have a way to deal with Li Mingbao.

This is the fundamental reason why Li Mingbao still does not open a company until now and films in his own name. The sixth uncle and six aunts, Zou Wenhuai and even Boss Lei don't mind Li Mingbao making money in Hong Kong in his personal name, because they can't resist it. But if Li Mingbao opened a film company, the nature would change.

Because Li Mingbao opened a film company, it means that Li Mingbao has the intention of establishing a foundation in Hong Kong, and it is enough for three bigwigs to share in such a large area, plus one Li Mingbao, forming a situation where the four countries compete for hegemony, which is really not a situation that everyone wants to see.

Therefore, Li Mingbao, who understands the depth of the water, can only film in his personal name now, because he does not yet have the capital to dominate Hong Kong. If you want to build your own foundation now, not only will a lot of money be wasted on the battles in Hong Kong circles, but it will also be detrimental to making more money for yourself.

Without the continuous investment of money in the back, the capital in Li Mingbao's hands now is at most short-lived, which looks good, but it won't take long. Instead of building a foundation for everyone to do it to themselves, it's better to threaten with money and make more money, as you do now. When the funds have accumulated to a certain extent, even if the others are not happy to accept themselves, they will have to give in for the sake of money.

When it was time for the Shaw Brothers, Li Mingbao realized that he was not the first one, Wu Yusen, and even earlier than himself. Seeing Li Mingbao get out of the car, Wu Yusen immediately said hello.

Li Mingbao is obviously his nobleman, and this time it can be regarded as Wu Yusen's turnaround, Wu Yusen is so attentive, it is not so strange. When the two sides finished talking about boring topics, Wu Yusen began to get down to business.

"Li Sheng, I have almost watched the plot of this play, and Li Sheng, you have also found the leading role, but it is not easy to shoot this play, and it requires the cooperation of many people. And Li Sheng, the situation between you and wireless is not very good now, will there be any accidents when it comes time to film? ”

"Accidents? What surprises can there be? Don't look at this is Shaw Brothers' territory, but my relationship with wireless is not to the point of making trouble, even if the sixth uncle and six aunts want to watch jokes, it has to be after the movie is played, as for now, you don't have to think about these problems, what you need to think about is actually how to make the movie well.

For those behind-the-scenes personnel, you can mention what kind of requirements you have, whether it is someone from Shaw Brothers, a person from Golden Harvest, or someone from Xinyi City, as long as you need it, I can do it for you.

But I have one request, you have to make this movie well. For me, it doesn't matter if this movie fails, although it won't be so easy to mix in Hong Kong at that time, but I have money, even if it's not easy, I can show it. But you are different, you have been sitting on the cold bench in Golden Harvest for so many years, if you don't get a result this time, you will be much more difficult to mix than me in Hong Kong in the future. Li Mingbao said.

Li Mingbao's words are quite polite, if this movie Wu Yusen is not done well, it will not only be difficult to mix, it is equivalent to Wu Yusen has no place to mix in the Hong Kong film industry. You must know that Li Mingbao's previous two films shot in Hong Kong were very successful and broke the box office record in Hong Kong.

And at that time, the director Li Mingbao was looking for was still a halfway monk, Li Mingbao's brother Li Minghui was only a TV director when he was making movies, and he had no experience in independent production, Wang Jing was a dispensable screenwriter, and even the director was met for the first time.

And although Wu Yusen is not a big-name director, he has made many movies anyway, plus Li Mingbao, a gold-medal person, if this movie is bad. At most, everyone said that Li Mingbao would not make Hong Kong movies if he went to Hollywood, but for Wu Yusen, others would not have any good opinions, at least in Golden Harvest, no one would protect him. Originally, when Li Mingbao was looking for someone in Jiahe, even He Guanchang and Zou Wenhuai were not optimistic about Wu Yusen, and they smashed the filming, so it was strange that they could still be optimistic.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Rao is weather in Hong Kong was very cool at this time, and Wu Yusen's head began to break out in a cold sweat. He also knew that what Li Mingbao said was the truth. The movie was smashed, and Li Mingbao, a billionaire, could still get through it even if he was under some pressure, but Wu Yusen, a little shrimp, would not have such good luck.

"I will try my best to make this drama well, but in terms of investment in the movie, I don't know what kind of plans you have for Li Sheng." Wu Yusen asked tremblingly.

Wu Yusen has paid attention to Li Mingbao before, and now that he is filming under Li Mingbao, Wu Yusen has to get to know Li Mingbao well. Therefore, for Li Mingbao's investment in filming, according to previous information, it is not so optimistic.

Although Li Mingbao's films have great returns, and they have broken Hong Kong's box office records twice in a row. But from a professional point of view, everyone who understands knows that Li Mingbao's previous movies are actually small-cost and small-investment movies.

Although Li Mingbao is very generous in other aspects, the general direction of small-budget movies cannot be changed. And now this "The True Color of Heroes", in terms of cost, is definitely not a small cost in terms of the price of Hong Kong, because this movie is a gunfight movie, whether it is guns, costumes, or scenes, it is not comparable to the previous two movies.

Therefore, in terms of investment costs, there is a fundamental difference between this "True Colors of Heroes" and Li Mingbao's previous two plays. Although Li Mingbao dares to spend money in Hollywood, using US dollars, Wu Yusen does not dare to guarantee whether Li Mingbao spends so much money in Hong Kong, so there is such a problem.

Li Mingbao somewhat understood Wu Yusen's worries, so he said very angrily: "In terms of investment, I will not treat this drama badly, I am ready to spend five million Hong Kong dollars to shoot this movie." ”
