Chapter 129: Returning to the United States

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

It's not that Li Mingbao doesn't know the connections in this, but he also knows how big a person's belly is, how much food he can eat. Now he does not have the ability to establish an overseas network base, even if it is established, such a force is actually equivalent to a local chicken in front of a big man like Uncle Six, and he can't withstand the wind and waves.

Rather than rushing to establish a so-called relationship now, and not knowing that someone has cheated you, it is better to discuss this issue after you have laid a solid foundation. By that time, there will definitely be a better way to network than you do now, and you won't have to pay much for yourself.

Li Mingbao knows that the glorious era of Hong Kong films is just emerging now, and there are still a long days ahead.

So like these things, it's better to hand it over to the sixth uncle to do it now, although it is not a good idea to hand over the lifeline to the sixth uncle for the time being, but even if it is not handed over to the sixth uncle, it has to be handed over to Zou Wenhuai, anyway, if you want to live a good life, then this lifeline can only be taken care of by handing it over to others. To put it bluntly, now Li Mingbao is so poor that he has money left, and nothing else.

Even if you want to take care of it yourself, you don't have the right person. What's more, Li Mingbao and Sixth Uncle have different visions. The sixth uncle, even including Zou Wenhuai, their main focus is on East Asia, Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, which is where they care.

Don't look at Zou Wenhuai, he always likes to break into Hollywood, but Zou Wenhuai just wanted to get a few votes in the past, and he didn't have the idea of taking root. But Li Mingbao is different from Zou Wenhuai, and the profits in these places in Southeast Asia are chicken ribs in Li Mingbao's view. North America is the real big market.

The film industry is actually an industry that pays attention to capital. It's like Sony, a giant that is engaged in the field of electronic consumption, and is far from the film industry. But after Sony acquired two Hollywood giants, who dares to say that Sony is not the giant boss in the film industry?

If you keep looking at the land of East Asia, you won't be able to make much money, and with some local interests of other countries, you may pay more than you get in return. However, the North American market is a natural gold mine, and if you can take root there, it will definitely be easier than the East Asian market if you want to make more money.

Li Mingbao went to the United States to make a movie, and the money he earned could immediately make Shao Liushu and others jealous, and make two more movies, even if the Hong Kong film industry was reshuffled, it would not be a difficult thing. But if Li Mingbao has been exhibiting in Hong Kong all the time, how many films he will have to make to achieve the current effect is only God knows.

What's more, the channels in Hong Kong are all in charge of the three bosses, Li Mingbao really wants to reach a certain height, these three bosses have a place to engage Li Mingbao, and in the end, Li Mingbao may be able to make some money, but there is no need to think about the right to speak or anything.

It is only in a gold mine much larger than Hong Kong that it has the ability to flop from the outside. Therefore, Li Mingbao doesn't care at all about the so-called lifeline being handed over to the sixth uncle to take care of. In fact, there is only one Japan that really makes money in these places.

But even in the Japanese market, compared to Hollywood, it is the gap between small sampans and large warships. Li Mingbao, as a person who has come over, if he doesn't know how to show his strength, it is simply losing the face of the crossing army.

After beating these people to act as agents to the sixth uncle, Li Mingbao can be regarded as temporarily relaxed, although "The True Color of Heroes" is now in full swing, but Li Mingbao has not much to do on this, after all, he has done what should be done, and the rest is only to wait, waiting for the final box office to come out.

Although Li Mingbao wants to rest, this time is not a good time to rest, for Li Mingbao, there are more important things, that is, the dividends on the United States side have come down, and he needs to receive the fruits of his victory.

The global box office of "Home Alone" is 550 million US dollars, which is slightly higher than the global box office of this movie in the previous life. Originally, Li Mingbao thought that almost ten years earlier, the box office of this movie would be lower.

After all, the dollar in nine years will certainly not be as valuable as the dollar in nine years. But I didn't expect this movie to give Li Mingbao a small surprise, compared with the box office in his previous life, the box office in this life was even higher, reaching $550 million.

In this way, Li Mingbao can get more than just $140 million, but more than $160 million. Although Li Mingbao has made more money, Twentieth Century Fox has actually made no less.

The profit brought to them by this movie is certainly gratifying, and more importantly, the influence that this movie has brought to them has also brought a good effect. Influence is something that cannot be seen or touched, but it plays a very important role in actual work.

It's like two people working in two companies, one of them has a higher salary, and the other has a lower salary, but the one with a higher salary is not working in a Fortune 500 company, while the other person with a lower salary is working in a Fortune 500 company.

Then this person with a high salary will definitely envy the person with a low salary, because he knows that the person with a low salary, if there is a channel for rising, the future prospects will definitely be broader than himself. This is the influence brought by the name of the world's top 500.

No matter where you are, although influence is intangible, it has a value that cannot be ignored in many cases, and the movie "Home Alone" has brought a lot of intangible influence to Twentieth Century Fox.

So even if Li Mingbao makes a lot of money, for Twentieth Century Fox, such a cooperation is a win-win situation, and even if they can buy the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone", then even if they make the contract with Li Mingbao public, no one will say that their company does not understand reserve, but will say that they have made a good business. Not only will it not damage the image of their company, but it can attract more talents to join their company, which is definitely a profitable business.

Originally, Li Mingbao's dividends had already arrived, and the Twentieth Century Fox Company even urged Li Mingbao several times to let Li Mingbao go to the United States to collect money as much as possible. But Li Mingbao was running around for the movie "The True Color of Heroes" at that time, where did he have time to go to the United States to collect money?

Anyway, the money will not be less over there, and the movie "The True Color of Heroes" is making money for their future, and Li Mingbao can still distinguish which is more important, so even if the Twentieth Century Fox Company urges, Li Mingbao does not agree to the past, besides, the Twentieth Century Fox Company is so anxious to ask Li Mingbao to go over to receive the money, not that they really have so much money that they burn their hands and abide by the contract.

It's because Li Mingbao still holds the follow-up copyright of "Home Alone" in his hands, and Twentieth Century Fox, which has already eaten enough sweetness on this movie, how can he be willing to continue to keep such a good thing in Li Mingbao's hands. Chinese have always paid attention to the saying that the bag is safe, but in fact, foreigners are similar.

In their minds, as long as they don't put things in their pockets thoroughly, there will always be all kinds of accidents. And Twentieth Century Fox, which made a lot of money with "Home Alone", certainly doesn't want to be born on its own head by accident. Therefore, urging Li Mingbao to sell the copyright to their 20th Century Fox Company as soon as possible has been their most important task in recent months.

Li Mingbao didn't have time to deal with them before, but now that Hong Kong can't use himself, Li Mingbao took the sample film of "The True Color of Heroes" and flew to the United States with a few people.

When I saw Jiang Zhiqiang again, Li Mingbao's temperament of Jiang Zhiqiang has changed significantly, compared to the appearance of Jiang Zhiqiang when he first saw Jiang Zhiqiang before, Jiang Zhiqiang now has more confidence and such a successful temperament.

Seeing the arrival of the boss, Jiang Zhiqiang came to a hug, and began to babble to Li Mingbao about the recent changes in the company, with the bridge of Twentieth Century Fox, the company on the Hollywood side is doing quite well, and the DreamWorks side has begun to produce some small-budget horror films in 66.

Although the investment is not large, it is usually the kind of movie that is less than one or two million dollars, but I have to say that the direction chosen by Li Mingbao at the beginning was indeed very good. Although the overall box office of this type of movie will not be very high, after all, there are some people who especially like to watch this type of movie.

And this kind of movie, commonly known as niche movies, although it is impossible to make a lot of money, but it is easy to eat, it is easy to be a fool, plus Li Mingbao consciously poached when he was in Hollywood before, and dug up many powerful roles.

Although DreamWorks has not been open for a long time, in some circles, the name of DreamWorks has an impression. Although the movies made by DreamWorks have not yet begun to be videotaped, relying on the box office of the movie, DreamWorks' assets have been expanded from a few million dollars to more than 20 million dollars now, and the liquidity is sufficient.

And the most important thing is that this part of the money does not have any connection with the movie "Home Alone", all the money is the money that Li Mingbao got to Hollywood at the beginning, and even Li Mingbao took out some money before returning to Hong Kong.

But even in such a difficult situation, Jiang Zhiqiang still showed the company to its current appearance, and you can imagine how difficult it is for him. And now, it's almost bittersweet. With DreamWorks' current hematopoietic mechanism, as long as you don't make any mistakes, the money will definitely come in a steady stream.

Although it is impossible to get rich overnight, it must have a long history. So after Jiang Zhiqiang babbled and reported the recent work of the family to Li Mingbao, Li Mingbao said with emotion: "Brother Jiang, you have worked hard. I will definitely not forget your share, plus the DreamWorks exhibition during this time, your worth will definitely reach 10 million, and the prize of 2 million US dollars should be worthy of your efforts. ”
