But just after Cameron finished speaking, Mary also spoke: "Boss, Mr. Cameron, this script is indeed quite creative, and I also believe that if this movie is really made, it will definitely have a great harvest." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

However, the investment issue of this film has a big conflict with our DreamWorks development concept, although the boss has decided that DreamWorks will shoot the company's own big investment movie at the right time, but the current development direction of DreamWorks is in horror films, if you invest in science fiction films, DreamWorks' concept and image will have a big conflict. And the market we have is completely different from science fiction films, and it is not easy to make our audience like science fiction films.

And this movie is quite novel, and it is also a test for the market, so I don't think it's feasible to let DreamWorks run this movie. If you really want to invest, I don't think DreamWorks should be involved in this investment, after all, the main direction of our DreamWorks is different, if we invest in other aspects of the movie, it may have some not very good results, so if the boss invests, it is better to be cautious. ”

Originally, after hearing Mary's initial words, Li Mingbao also felt that Mary, a woman, was indeed very in line with his heart, and if he could invest in this movie, it would be a good opportunity for Li Mingbao and Cameron.

With this movie, Cameron can also initially make his image appear in Hollywood, and Li Mingbao, who invested in Cameron, can also take the opportunity to make Cameron have a good impression of him. And in the future, Cameron wants to make his own movie, then the first investor who comes to mind will be himself, and even the broken ship in the future, as well as movies like Avatar, Cameron will not forget to find himself as the wronged leader.

In the case of knowing that he is making money, Li Mingbao has absolutely no pressure to be the wronged leader, and he will not get along with anyone who can't get along with money. Therefore, Mary's answer is in her own interest.

But I didn't expect Mary's voice to change, and there was a but. Whether it is English but, or Chinese but, is to play a turning role, in Chinese, especially when those leaders make reports, the front praise is actually a thing to go through the motions, if there is no but, that is the real praise.

But if there is a but, then the situation will 100% slide in a bad direction. Sure enough, Mary's but, after that, was to express opposition. And the reason for the opposition is also very legitimate, science fiction and horror films are not compatible, and DreamWorks now wants to occupy the market for horror films, rather than operating across industries.

For the average company, it doesn't matter what kind of movie you make, as long as you make money. But the problem is that DreamWorks has developed so much capital now, in fact, because of the position established in horror films, the sudden transformation is indeed different from the development direction of DreamWorks.

And in the end, the one Mary said might run into some other trouble, and Li Mingbao also knew what she was referring to. Since DreamWorks wants to be a professional horror film production company, then you suddenly make a science fiction film, and it is also the first big-budget film, which will make the intangible value of DreamWorks have a fundamental change. Others will not think that this is the investment plan that the owner of DreamWorks came up with with a pat on his head, but will think that DreamWorks has suddenly entered other fields, whether there are some new plans, and whether such new plans will have an impact on their own companies. With such an idea, it is a question whether DreamWorks will be good or not in the future.

But fortunately, Mary also gave Li Mingbao face, and after opposing the film's shooting by DreamWorks, she gave Li Mingbao a compromise plan, that is, let Li Mingbao invest in the film himself, and don't do things under the DreamWorks brand. Anyway, Cameron is less investment, not less name.

As long as his movie is filmed, Li Mingbao will let Twentieth Century Fox do the distribution, and with the relationship between Li Mingbao and John, it is not too difficult to let the Twentieth Century Fox do the distribution. And the image of Twentieth Century Fox is not fixed on a certain type of movie, and the movies they produce are of any genre, which is much better than a narrow path like DreamWorks.

But to give the movie "Terminator" to Twentieth Century Fox, Li Mingbao also feels a loss. You must know that although the movie "Terminator" does not have hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, his influence is not small, and it is a good thing to brush up on prestige, so it was given to Twentieth Century Fox for nothing, and it didn't get favor at the beginning, for Li Mingbao, this Nima is a loss-making business.

But on second thought, it doesn't make sense for DreamWorks to have that kind of prestige right now. After all, if the movie "Terminator" does not have the nod of giant companies, prestige or something, it may not be able to fall into their pockets, and only giant companies can operate these awards, and it is not easy to complete such a career with the foundation of DreamWorks. So whether there are awards or not, in fact, the key is to see whether the distribution company behind is powerful, and there is no direct connection with the quality of the movie.

really has to wait until DreamWorks brushes up on prestige, Li Mingbao might as well shoot "Forrest Gump", that thing is a weapon for prestige, and the little golden man is all right. Not to mention other things, so these things are still too high-end for the current DreamWorks, and even a company like DreamWorks can still have a big question.

After all, DreamWorks' main business is in horror films, and the market for this type of movie is indeed quite good, but the prestige in the mainstream world is absolutely negative, and no one would want alternative movies like horror movies to be among the mainstream society. It's okay to make money, it's okay to make fame, it's not okay.

Thinking about this, Li Mingbao no longer resisted Mary's suggestion. Besides, Mary's suggestion is really for Li Mingbao to consider, like Li Mingbao's plan to put "Terminator" in DreamWorks at the beginning, the future prospects are not clear. is worthy of being a senior management talent, and in such a short period of time, she can think of problems that even herself, the initiator, did not expect, and also gave another new way out, which is indeed not simple.

Li Mingbao also understands the benefits of recruiting these people, that is, in terms of experience, he is definitely much better than his own guy. Although Li Mingbao has countless experiences in later generations, he is indeed proud of his majesty in innovation. But in terms of specific planning, there is still a big gap compared with these old people.

Li Mingbao did gain the memory of that big guy, but he didn't get the talent and wisdom of that big guy. Wisdom is such a thing, experience does not play a decisive role, the most important thing is to rely on talent, just like Einstein, even if you completely get his memory, the effect may not be much, because his memory is just a previous thing, the real big effect, or his ability to innovate.

As far as Hollywood is concerned, Li Mingbao's future means are actually not too much room to play here. After all, although the entertainment industry in the future generations on the mainland is still quite developed, the things they play, basically Hollywood in this era, can find prototypes, and even the things they can't play, like behemoths like CAA, Hollywood has appeared at this time.

Therefore, Li Mingbao is now in Hollywood, and the biggest reliance is not on advanced experience, but on knowing the future direction. To put it bluntly, the mainland entertainment industry in the new millennium may not be more advanced than the Hollywood entertainment industry in the early 80s, and it may be much worse, because at that time, the rules of the mainland's entertainment industry were not perfect, and compared with the improvement of various industries on the Hollywood side now, the gap is definitely not small. Coupled with the background, if you want to rely on the advanced mainland experience for 30 years, show superiority in Hollywood, except for making your head bleed, there will be no second way to go.

When Li Mingbao was thinking about these things in his head, Cameron looked at him very nervously. Although Li Mingbao, the boss, does appreciate his script, but the problem is that now Li Mingbao's two important subordinates are clearly opposed to such a plan, and for Li Mingbao, the boss, the ideas of his subordinates have to be considered, although Mary still has a compromise plan behind her, but that plan is not so reliable in Cameron's eyes.

Not relying on a mature film company like DreamWorks to let the boss invest alone is a tactful refusal, so Cameron is now very concerned about Li Mingbao's attitude. Although he is quite confident in his script, as everyone said, such a script is a bit ahead of its time for Hollywood, and this is the main reason for the rejection of the companies he has contacted.

And now that reason is on the table, it would be strange if Cameron wasn't nervous.

After a long while, Li Mingbao raised his head again, looked at Cameron and said, "To be honest, I personally appreciate your script." But since Mary said that the film had a side effect on DreamWorks' image, I decided that the film would not be shot and distributed by DreamWorks. ”

"So, Mr. Li, are you refusing to invest in my movie? I am grateful to Mr. Lee for giving me time to explain the script, and if there is hope, we can continue to work together in the future. Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron said with some frustration.

"No, I'm not done yet, Mr. Cameron, you don't have to be in such a hurry. I mean this movie is not invested by DreamWorks, but it doesn't mean that I personally don't invest in this movie. Being able to make a character with such a script, I think Mr. Cameron, your future will be quite promising in Hollywood.

Whether it's for this script or for you as a person, there's no reason why I shouldn't invest. So I decided to be an independent investor in your film, and you are solely responsible for the problems of the film, and if you need it, I will also introduce you to a brokerage company, this company is invested by me, as long as you need it, there will be many people in the company to serve you. Not only in the film, but also in other aspects, you get a lot of autonomy in the company. And for the release of this movie, I can also find Twentieth Century Fox for you to do it, I believe in the strength of their company, and it will not bury your movie. Li Mingbao said...
