You must know that the Golden Princess Cinema Line established by Boss Lei is not the only one who speaks in it. It's true that Boss Lei has a movie theater in his own hands, but there are other collaborators in the Golden Princess Cinema Line, but Boss Lei has a lot of money, so he can make Boss Lei the main person, but other people don't listen to Boss Lei for everything.
Especially under the premise that there is obviously money to be made, but because of Boss Lei's greed, he directly missed a big fortune, and it would be strange if other people had no complaints. In the end, Boss Lei paid a sum of money to make the others shut up. And after solving the internal problems, Boss Lei was thinking about the gains and losses this time.
Obviously, it will definitely not be him Boss Lei who broke the news this time, after all, the more popular "Happy Ghost" is, the more it will hit his prestige. And to be able to break the news of such an inside story, it is either someone from his side or someone from Li Mingbao's side. Only they would have such a motive to take revenge on him Boss Lei.
Anyway, Li Mingbao is supported by Shaw Brothers Cinemas, even if he completely offends him Boss Lei, it is not a big problem. Last time, Boss Lei was so strong that Li Mingbao wanted to make a choice, and in the end, the two sides broke up unhappily, with a young man like Li Mingbao, after the sudden success, Piao Piao wanted to fight with Boss Lei, which was not too surprising.
Although Boss Lei can think of the root cause of this problem with a little thought, Boss Lei is indeed jealous of Li Mingbao's success. He was not a figure in the film industry before, but a bus and real estate, but the major shareholder of his previous industries was not him, he could only be regarded as a second shareholder.
Boss Lei is also a person with a strong desire to control, in fact, the so-called successful people have a strong desire to control, Uncle Shao Liu, Boss Zou is the same, as for other rich people, they are actually similar. The desire to control is not strong, the temperament is loose, and it is not good to be the boss anywhere.
Since Kowloon Bus and Real Estate Boss Lei can't control it, Boss Lei wants to show up in a new industry, and it just so happens that there is an industry like cinemas in his real estate, coupled with the recent bullish film market in Hong Kong, Boss Lei naturally shifted his attention to this place.
started to do quite well, set up a theater chain, acquired manpower, and the box office appearance of "Senior Brother Out of the Horse" also proved that Boss Lei's vision is indeed good. But it was here that Li Mingbao was here, but Boss Lei planted a big heel, not only lost his fate with the banknotes, but also was put in the newspaper by someone to make his own troubles. Boss Lei made that choice at the beginning because he saw the value of Li Mingbao and wanted to catch Li Mingbao into his hands, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating and become what he is now.
But Boss Lei really doesn't regret it now. Not only does he not regret it, but he also sees the importance of film talents, it is obviously not possible to win over Li Mingbao, but Boss Lei is not only Li Mingbao, a target that can be wooed.
So after thinking about it, he called his secretary, called Mecca, and asked these people from Mecca to come to his office and talk.
And Mecca received a call from Boss Lei, and did not go over immediately, but called several major people on his side over for a meeting. As the predecessor of the new art city, the current struggle group has not yet reached its peak of the seven-person group. There are only three core personnel, but all three of them are heavyweights, Shi Tian, Huang Baiming, and Mecca himself.
After calling people over, Mecca talked about Boss Lei.
"Boss Lei has had a hard time in the past two days, otherwise he wouldn't have hurriedly called us over, the things reported in the newspaper before must be true, he really had a holiday with Li Mingbao's lucky boy." Shi Tian said sourly.
I can't help but be sour, it's really Li Mingbao's achievements that have blinded the eyes of countless people. A three-no product, Li Mingbao is a newcomer, relying on the relationship between the top management of wireless, and now he has actually made a movie that is obviously about to break the box office record. This is called him, an old filmmaker, how to deal with himself? Not to mention Shi Tian, most people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry will be envious, jealous and hateful to Li Mingbao, and they are all thinking that if they have a high-level relationship with wireless, they can also become popular.
"Li Mingbao is lucky, but it can't be said that he is lucky. We have all watched this movie of his, the quality is really good, it is very my style, if it weren't for the bad relationship between him and Boss Lei, I would like to have a good chat with him. Compared with Shi Tian's sourness, Huang Baiming is very interested in Li Mingbao, because Li Mingbao's movie is very much in line with his taste, and even to put it more seriously, it is equivalent to drawing a correct path for Huang Baiming, and he can be half of his teacher.
If Huang Baiming's thoughts were known to Li Mingbao, he would definitely laugh. His plagiarism will be worshiped by the original, which is equivalent to beating others, and others are grateful to him for playing well.
"Okay, let's not talk too much about Li Mingbao, that kid is now making headlines in major newspapers in Hong Kong, and I'm almost tired of hearing it. In fact, if we want to talk about this kid, we should also thank him. If it weren't for his stimulation, Boss Lei might not be as anxious to see us as he is now, maybe we could sell for a better price. But just thank him now, and when we enter the Golden Princess, we will definitely become enemies by then.
Boss Lei definitely doesn't like a character who can still be alive after slapping him in the face, instead of envying and jealous him now, it is better to think about how we should deal with him in the future. Prepare early, so you won't be caught off guard later. "As the helm of the future New Arts City, Mecca always has a good grasp of the key to things.
"You don't have to care too much about this kid, do you? I admit that he did a good job of making this film, but if you really want to say how classic it is, it's not enough. If it weren't for the fact that the students were on summer vacation, the movie would never have been so sensational. Without students as the main force, his movie can earn millions of dollars, which is already quite good. We really don't have to worry too much about him, can we, the old rivers and lakes, still be shot to death by a newcomer like him? I don't know why, Shi Tian's senses for Li Mingbao have always been not very good, so when he spoke, he didn't give Li Mingbao much face.
Shi Tian's words made Huang Baiming frown, because he felt that his future path was in the direction of "Happy Ghost", Shi Tian scolded Li Mingbao, in disguise, he was scolding him, but the relationship between the two sides was so good, this little complaint Huang Baiming could still bear, so he didn't say anything.
And Mecca, the big bald head, also agrees with Shi Tian's words, after all, they are all veteran filmmakers, if it is just because of a newcomer, even if this newcomer suddenly becomes popular, they will lose their square inches, and they will not be able to mix in the current position.
Now their main job is to catch up with Princess Jin and let Boss Lei, the big guy, inject capital into their Struggle Film Company, and as for other things, they can actually be put back. And Li Mingbao's problem, in Mecca's eyes, is actually not too much of a threat, so it is okay to take it out and intimidate Boss Lei and let Boss Lei pay more attention to them.
If you really want to treat Li Mingbao as an opponent, Mecca herself feels that she has lost points. Don't look at "Happy Ghost" so popular, but in fact, if Li Mingbao didn't have the support of Shaw Brothers, he would be nothing, he didn't have an excellent film company in his hands, no excellent behind-the-scenes personnel, not even equipment, and all these things were supported by Shaw Brothers.
As long as the senior management of Shaw Brothers and wireless does not support Li Mingbao, then Li Mingbao is nothing, even if he wants to make a movie, he can't find the most basic things. How can such a personal approach be powerful in the eyes of Mecca?
If Li Mingbao gets a vote and leaves, it will indeed make him a fortune. But if you want to stay in this circle for a long time, unless Li Mingbao can become popular in every movie, as long as a movie loses money, he will have no future. The senior management of Shaw Brothers and Wireless is not a philanthropist, a character who makes himself lose money, and is not worthy of their continued support.
And if Li Mingbao wants to get out of his own film company and get rid of the Shaw Brothers, it is needless to say that the sixth uncle can strangle Li Mingbao to death without outsiders doing it. Anyway, Mecca is not optimistic about Li Mingbao's future, without his own foundation, no matter how good he mixes, it is a castle in the air.
After carefully thinking about how much Li Mingbao, the so-called opponent, has, Mecca's attention to Li Mingbao declined, and in the next period of time, he and his friends spent more energy on negotiating with Boss Lei.
And just when their Struggle Film Company in Mecca changed its name to Xinyi City, and received strong support from Boss Lei, and held a drinking party to celebrate, I don't know where a reporter came out of nowhere, raised a question, and turned Boss Lei's face black on the spot, and left in a hurry without even attending the drinking party.
Seeing Boss Lei walking away with a black face, Mecca complained to Shi Tian: "What's the matter?" Why did you let the reporters in? Didn't you show it up when you checked it before? ”
Regarding Mecca's complaints, Shi Tian was even more resentful: "Aren't you all calling so many reporters? said that it would be good to have a drinking party, and if there is no reporter, it will not be lively, and it can also start the fame of our new art city. How can I be blamed for this? ”
Hearing Shi Tian's explanation, Mecca scolded rudely: "This reporter who fights the streets, it's not that he didn't give him benefits, why did he say something like that?" Isn't it comfortable to find it if you don't make it clear? In the future, we will never give them a newspaper for our reports. ”
"It's not to blame him, who would have thought that Li Mingbao's kid would be so red and purple now. In the first two months, everyone was still hyping up Chen Long's "Senior Brother Out" box office breaking 10 million, and now "Happy Ghost" has directly refreshed the record and raised the record to a height of 24 million box office.
As long as you are a reporter who understands, you will know how hot this news is, everything else has been fried, and now it is on Boss Lei's side. If this reporter hadn't taken the lead, I think there would have been more reporters who would have asked this question, even if they banned their newspapers, it would be useless, the key is whether we can get back on the scene when we shoot movies. Otherwise, Boss Lei's face will never be recovered. Huang Baiming said helplessly on the side.
