Chapter 194: A Piece of the Pie

Now that he has mastered the right to speak in the theater, Li Mingbao also knows that he has to change his previous problem of eating alone, in order to let Princess Jin and Jiahe willingly enter the joint theater, Li Mingbao not only threatened with Shaw Brothers Cinema, but also threatened with money, and the most important threat was the countless scripts in his mind.

If you want to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry, you don't need to pay too much attention to other things, but a good script must not be missed. In the past, the Hong Kong film industry didn't care much about the script, because there were too many people who could write the script, and even a person born in martial arts like Zeng Zhiwei could write a good script, so the script didn't have to care too much about Hong Kong filmmakers.

But since the Hong Kong film industry has the demon Li Mingbao, the situation has changed a little, and the life of the people who write the script is a little better than before, although the improvement is not too much, but it is still an improvement. Because the big guy also attaches importance to the script, Li Mingbao, the new boss, if he doesn't have a good script, why did he become a big guy? Everyone can not care about other people's scripts, but Li Mingbao's script, who dares not to care? Even overseas filmmakers are waiting for Li Mingbao's script, let alone Hong Kong's own people.

When Li Mingbao first negotiated, he came up with more than ten scripts, which was enough to crush the will of many people, especially the will of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. Zou Wenhuai is an old man in the film industry, so he knows Li Mingbao's script very well. Although Lei Juekun doesn't understand movies, he understands the power of Li Mingbao's script even more, no way, Li Mingbao's previous three movies have made a lot of money by relying on the script, and they are even more afraid than Zou Wenhuai, who knows how to do it, and in the end, this straw pressed on them, and there was the thing of United Cinema.

Now that the United Cinema Line has been established, it is impossible for Li Mingbao to shoot those scripts by himself, and now he sees that Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are crying poor, so they simply took out the script. Li Mingbao still doesn't believe that with a script, these two guys will still be dishonest.

Sure enough, after hearing that Li Mingbao had a script to cooperate, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, who were still pretending to be poor before, immediately stopped having a sore waist, no more pain in their legs, and they were angry when they climbed the building.

"Since there is Li Sheng's script, then eight million Hong Kong dollars is nothing. Li Sheng, don't worry, how can we support such things that are good for the United Cinema Line? Isn't that a shortfall of HK$8 million? I'm out, and working with Li Sheng is refreshing, so how much can I get for the script? Zou Wenhuai said with a spring breeze on his face, didn't he say so much just now, isn't it just for Li Mingbao's script? Otherwise, with the background of Jiahe, you can make up a little bit anywhere, and there are eight million, so why be ashamed to say that there is no money?

Zou Wenhuai opened his mouth, and Lei Juekun was not to be outdone: "There is a script, there is money to be made, what is eight million Hong Kong dollars, I fully support it." I remember Li Sheng, you have one or two scripts in your hand, which are specially created for our new art city, such a script, Li Sheng, you must not waste it, the matter of cooperation is easy to discuss, our golden princess pays for it, Li Sheng, you take four layers of the box office in Hong Kong, and 20% of the overseas box office revenue. Li Sheng, you see that our golden princess is sincere, right? ”

Lei Juekun's words, what he really wants to be sincere, just a script, four layers of income, no one has had such treatment before, Li Mingbao's movies before, which one is not his own investment, shooting, and finding his own actors, and finally he can get sixty percent of the Hong Kong box office and forty percent of the overseas box office income.

Where is it like now, there is no need to release anything, just publish a script, Li Mingbao will sit and wait for forty percent of the box office income to start, and there will be twenty percent of the overseas income, such a condition is a big price for anyone. At least Li Mingbao never thought that Lei Juekun would have such courage before.

Of course, Lei Juekun will not lose money, Li Mingbao's script is clearly a high income, give forty percent to Li Mingbao, Lei Juekun still has money in Hong Kong, not to mention that Hong Kong's income is nothing to Lei Juekun. The real big head is still overseas.

Princess Jin's ability to travel overseas has always been a scumbag, even if it hasn't gotten better yet, Lei Juekun is a halfway monk, he is not like the sixth uncle and Zou Wenhuai, who have been dealing in this industry for decades, needless to say in East Asia, even if he has some relationships in Europe and the United States, he is a real white ding.

If you really want to talk about it, Lei Juekun's current overseas travel ability is worse than Li Mingbao's. As long as those overseas filmmakers see Li Mingbao's movie, they will take the initiative to hook up, not for anything else, just because Li Mingbao's movie can make money for everyone.

Now Lei Juekun has won Li Mingbao's script, so that overseas film companies will come to him, although the movie will not be produced by Li Mingbao, but the script is Li Mingbao's. With Li Mingbao to endorse him, overseas filmmakers will not look at his Lei Juekun's face, but will also give a good price on Li Mingbao's face. So don't look at Lei Juekun's profits for Li Mingbao, in fact, he is using Li Mingbao's signboard to win people's hearts. Especially now that there is a person arranged by an overseas film company in the conference room, when the time comes to play the signboard, others will not suspect him.

So Lei Juekun is a smart person, but among these people sitting here, who is not a smart person? When they heard that Li Mingbao had a script for Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, the eyes of the Xiang brothers were green, who is the most profitable person in the Hong Kong film industry now? There is no one else except Li Mingbao, even if it is a big man like Jiahe, the degree of making money in a short period of time is not as good as Li Mingbao. And a large part of Li Mingbao's success is due to his novel script.

Although the Xiang brothers are latecomers, they don't know what Li Mingbao did when the theater chain merged, but now Li Mingbao has made it clear that he wants to have equal interests, if the Xiang brothers don't know what to do, they won't be mixed up after they enter the film industry.

"Li Sheng, you can't favor one over the other. Now that we have the script in our hands, can our brothers also come and get a piece of the pie? If you want to make a name for yourself when you enter the industry, you also need a few good movies to support it, otherwise it will be difficult to enter the industry. Since Li Sheng has introduced us into the line, no matter how you say it, you have to let us have the ability to protect ourselves? The matter of this script, can we discuss it, the conditions are according to Princess Jin's departure, and you will definitely not let Li Sheng suffer a loss. Xiang Huasheng said with a sense of longing.

"Our Shaw Brothers have also been short of good movies recently, Li Sheng, you have to give us some goods if you can't do it, you have more than ten scripts in your hands, and our Shaw Brothers is a shareholder of United Cinemas, so you have to help a little bit, right?" The sixth uncle was not to be outdone, and directly poked out Li Mingbao's bottom line.

Anyway, I don't know the specific number of scripts in Li Mingbao's hands now, in fact, they are the Xiang brothers and Cui Xiaoming, Cui Xiaoming can be used as him, but the Xiang brothers and the sixth uncle can take advantage of it.

After all, the Shaw Brothers are not angry, and when it comes to the problems in the movie, it is inevitable that they will be a little lacking in confidence, if they pull up the Xiang brothers, it will also be a friendship, and they will not be taken away by Princess Jin and Golden Harvest.

If there is only Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, and New Arts City to fight, Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai will easily reach an alliance and finally cut off the Shaw Brothers, but if you want to join a Xiang brother, the situation will be different.

With the joining of the Quartet, Li Mingbao also has to consider the balance of the problem, and in the end, maybe Xinyicheng and Jiahe will still get a larger share, but Shaw Brothers and Yongsheng will not do nothing, if the gap is too big, it will not stand in unity, so the sixth uncle can't help but pull the Xiang brothers in to stir up the situation.

As for Cui Xiaoming, it's better not to speak at this time, it is true that he represents the interests of overseas filmmakers, and overseas filmmakers will definitely not let go of such a money-making thing, but unfortunately it is because Cui Xiaoming represents too many interests, even if he wins the share in the end, it is a big problem who to distribute it to, Cui Xiaoming is just a worker, and it is obviously not a good thing to get caught in the battle of the boss behind. So it's best to watch the excitement, and it's foolish to get into the scramble.

Seeing that the four film companies are so active, Li Mingbao doesn't feel embarrassed, anyway, the scripts in his hand are really of great value, and they can earn hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars at once, but there is not a single one at all.

As early as when he came up with these scripts, Li Mingbao did not plan to keep these scripts, all for the purpose of buying people's hearts. Therefore, the scripts that really make money, in addition to the scripts of these companies, can be said to be very few of the outstanding scripts of other companies.

This is why Boss Lei just said that there are a few scripts in Li Mingbao's hand that are very suitable for their new art city, because Li Mingbao's scripts are originally the more outstanding scripts of the new art city in the next few years, so Boss Lei will think it is suitable, which is not only suitable for the new art city, but also suitable for Golden Harvest, and even suitable for Shaw Brothers and Yongsheng.

Although the Shaw Brothers movie has declined, there is no talent in the Shaw Brothers, and Wang Jing's kid has also supported the Shaw Brothers for several years, so the scripts suitable for the Shaw Brothers are basically Wang Jing's movies. And on Yongsheng's side, Li Mingbao even gave them a fierce film as a meeting gift, and the name of this meeting gift is "God of Gamblers".

As a series of movies that make the most money for Yongsheng, "God of Gamblers" has a special meaning for Yongsheng, although this movie is basically a work ten years later, but since Li Mingbao has brought Zhou Yan up now, he can't let him rust in the circle. And "God of Gamblers" just happens to meet everyone's needs, and Li Mingbao got him out just to enhance Zhou Yan's fame.

For an actor like Zhou Yan, Li Mingbao feels that he should not be fooled around for more than ten years, and if he becomes famous early, his future acting career will be much broader, and international superstars may be his future path.
