75_75283Although Li Mingbao himself doesn't want to continue to make this kind of movie, people here in Hollywood don't know, they still think that Li Mingbao has opened up a new field and is preparing to make a big profit. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info completely unaware of Li Mingbao's purpose in filming this movie, in fact, it is not just for the movie, but for the director who shoots the movie. The guy who dares to call himself the king of the world, no matter how arrogant he is, but he does have such strength, he has made so many blockbuster movies, and his current value is higher than that of George Lucas.

Not to mention that the Titanic will be wholly owned by himself to invest in the future, as long as he can catch this line, then Li Mingbao will be even profitable, not to mention that Cameron is not only making money with such a movie, but there will be more movies in the future, although his output is not high, but each one is very profitable, such a director, help him when he debuts, and the harvest after that will definitely not be small. This is the real reason why Li Mingbao is so generous to let Cameron preside over everything, besides, even if it is the Terminator movie, his value is quite ideal, it is worth Li Mingbao to invest, so many benefits, if Li Mingbao does not invest, he will be a fool. But investing in this type of movie does not mean that Li Mingbao wants to go deep into this type of movie, he just likes people, not this genre.

With the current level of strength in Hollywood, if he wants to make a good movie of this type, he is obviously not strong enough, and he doesn't want to wade into this troubled water at all. I didn't expect that there would be such a harvest under the unintentional insertion of willows, and Li Mingbao was about to laugh in his heart.

Although he wanted to laugh in his heart, the situation was not right now, so Li Mingbao pretended to be stunned for a moment, and then said: "John, don't say it, I really didn't think of this problem, and now when I hear you say this, it seems that the matter is more serious."

So what do you think I should do? If this movie is really successful, then it means that this type of movie is indeed very rich. But now with such fanfare, even if it is promising, I seem to have lost the qualification to compete. John, can you still help us with DreamWorks on behalf of Twentieth Century Fox? If that's the case, I'm still a little confident to go for it. When the time comes, the two of us will work together to shoot this type of movie, at least now Cameron is in our hands, even if the others want to intervene, without Cameron, they will only have another training, unless they can ask George Lucas to make a move, otherwise, at least in the short term, we will have no opponents, what do you think? ”

John originally thought that Li Mingbao had some good ideas, but he didn't expect Li Mingbao to say such a thing, pulling them into the water of the Twentieth Century Fox Company, and wanting to join forces to eat this huge market. Such a decision was a bit unexpected by John, who did not expect Li Mingbao to come up with such an idea.

So after thinking about it for a while, John said with a wry smile: "If it were other types of movies, maybe we could succeed, after all, we in Twentieth Century Fox are not vegetarians, but now that they have attracted the attention of so many companies, and they have already bet, then no matter what, we Twentieth Century Fox and your dream factories have no ability to eat it."

Besides, even if this type of movie has great benefits, at the same time, his entry threshold is quite high. At least on the Hollywood side, there is no company that can really make up their minds to enter this genre of films. After all, with the current hardware conditions, the price to pay if you want to shoot this type of movie well is quite high. Even if it's your movie, in science fiction movies, it's actually a small-budget movie, and the biggest expense is in the robot, and as for other things, the expenditure pressure is much less.

If you really want to make some big scenes, millions of dollars are not enough to see, and the scale of investment must reach at least 10 million, such a huge investment can be regarded as an A-level production in Hollywood, not any company has the courage to shoot such a movie. So if you want to eat, let alone you and our company, even if you add a giant company, it's not enough at all, and if you want to block this type of movie, no company can do it. Coupled with the recent situation of our Twentieth Century Fox company, you also know, we need to deal with Murdoch's acquisition, as well as the integration of internal strength, the pressure on our company is not too big for small movies, but a big movie like this, for our company, it is very troublesome, our strength is not enough to blossom on both sides, to be able to achieve a certain glory in the field of television, it is quite good, and we want to succeed in the movie, unless our company is not bad for money like Disney, otherwise, it can't be done at all, Even Disney is under a lot of pressure when it comes to double-line investment. ”

Hearing John's explanation, Li Mingbao spread his hands and said: "In this way, no matter how we choose, in fact, the result is the same, in this case, then why do we choose him?" are all targeted, without strength, do you still want them to quit, this is simply not good, right?

What you can't do at Twentieth Century Fox, do you want us DreamWorks to do something? It's just a joke. If they want to enter, let's enter, anyway, we don't have the strength to keep this business, when they make money, they will sell us some benefits, after all, I, as a pathfinder, have given them a certain contribution, if I don't go to the thunder, it is not so easy to find such a suitable candidate.

It is not an ordinary difficulty to get my hands on wealth that does not belong to me, especially on the Hollywood side. I don't have the ability to resist at all, so let them in, at least when the Terminator movie was released, I also got some benefits from them. I'll talk about it later, it's a big deal that I'll go back and make horror movies, anyway, there is money to be made, they make a lot of money from them, and I'll make my little money. Everyone understands each other to be able to make better money for themselves, John, you say, right? ”

"It's not bad for you to say this, this type of movie is not your precedent, after all, everyone can see the effect of Star Wars, even if there is no you, this type of film market will be developed sooner or later. In that case, it's pointless for you to care. Or Mr. Li, you can see it, if you change someone, you will have some actions when you hear such news. John smiled flatteringly.

In fact, for Li Mingbao to give up so easily, John's heart was not as calm as it seemed. You must know that Li Mingbao's status in Hollywood is also quite unusual, although he is not a local, but after all, the foundation of DreamWorks is not fake, and Li Mingbao also has abundant capital in his hands, if he really wants to make any moves, the giants on Hollywood's side will definitely not underestimate it. In a capitalist society, capital is the only force. Li Mingbao's ability to make money is obvious to everyone, and his vision is also in the upper class, which has a lot of attention.

The current Li Mingbao is not a newcomer who has just arrived in Hollywood, such a person, even if he is a foreigner, his energy cannot be underestimated. If everyone is really opposed, although those giant companies in Hollywood are also confident, and they are not afraid that Li Mingbao will overturn them all, but after all, confrontation will always cost money. What are you doing in this industry? Isn't it just for the money? Playing against an energetic character for nothing, just for a project that is not very certain, is not a good thing for any giant company.

Now that Li Mingbao is so generous, it is a good thing for anyone, at least John is very happy in his heart. As long as Li Mingbao does not regard science fiction movies as his new ban in the American film industry, then everything is easy to say, if Li Mingbao really wants to operate the genre of science fiction movies as a horror movie, everyone will be really in trouble.

Over the years, there have been quite a few companies that have entered the horror movie market, but DreamWorks, which has a dominant position in the horror movie market, has made great efforts to clean up those companies that have crossed the line, whether it is a small company or a giant company, in this type of movie, there is no shortage of DreamWorks. But because the overall share of niche movies is not very large, and this type of film is not the mainstream, there is still such a company standing there, as long as there are reasonable people, they understand that it is not so easy to grab money from DreamWorks. Therefore, in the past half a year, in the horror film market, horror movies shot by large or giant film companies are quite rare, which is to acquiesce in Li Mingbao's dominance of this type of movie, and he doesn't want to make trouble for his own company.

Li Mingbao also learned about these things more or less, so now he simply retreats into advance, ostensibly using his own little interference in the science fiction film market to ensure his dominance in the horror film market. But secretly, he took a meat and bone that he had no idea at all to get those evil wolves out of his door. From now on, as long as DreamWorks does not die, then the horror film market in the United States, and even the horror film market in Europe, will be the place where Li Mingbao speaks.

Although this film market is a niche market, as long as the quantity is large to a certain extent, plus the monopoly income, then the benefits that can be obtained are actually not much less than the profits of those giant companies. Throwing away a piece of chicken ribs and getting something that makes his position more solid, no matter how you look at it, Li Mingbao has earned it.

As for whether other companies will know about Li Mingbao's statement, Li Mingbao doesn't have to worry at all, with a microphone like John, Li Mingbao doesn't believe that those companies will not know Li Mingbao's statement.
