"Lee, you know I'm a joker, but it has to be when it's not about business, it's about work. I'm a very strict person, and if you think it's a joke, then maybe our friendship will be very fragile. Although Li Mingbao swore that the price over there was like this, how could John, as an old fox, believe Li Mingbao's words all of a sudden?

After a moment of excitement, John immediately calmed down and began to think seriously about the question.

For John to react so quickly, Li Mingbao didn't feel that there was anything wrong. After all, as the owner of one of the Hollywood movie giants, if John didn't have such ability, then maybe he would have been eaten clean a long time ago.

"John, what I said is true, as long as you inquire carefully, you will understand whether what I am saying is true or not. I can even say that the current actors over there in the Big 6, their salaries may be even lower than what I said, and there are not many actors who can get a salary of 100 yuan.

But John, I'm sure you understand a truth too. Cheap things, if they are really so easy to get into their hands, no matter how cheap they are, they will also self-regulate according to the market price. It's like the actors on the Big 6 side, it's not easy to really want them to come to Hollywood. Li Mingbao opened his mouth to explain.

Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, John was somewhat convinced of Li Mingbao's sincerity. Just like Li Mingbao said, the affairs of the military rabbit side cannot be calculated by common sense, if it really makes people feel that these people can be poached so cheaply, then how can the people on the Hollywood side not show up until now?

For businessmen, as long as there are enough benefits, no matter what, hardships and hardships will not be difficult for them. Money is their faith, and the more money they have, the more faith they have, and it is not impossible for them to be as determined as a staunch Marxist, as long as money reaches a certain level.

"Indeed, there is a great deal of prejudice around the world against the military-industrial rabbit. This is not a problem that I can solve alone. It is still a long way to go if it is truly useful to us. John said sensibly at this time.

"That's true, don't talk about you, even me, it's very difficult to get the actors over there to act in movies in Hong Kong. At least I don't have that right now. If I had this ability now, then my production cost would have been lower, you know, the actors over there don't need to be paid a lot of the time, and their companies only give them the salary of their general occupation, and maybe sometimes they will be in arrears.

As an actor, their lives are not going to be better than other professions. But their actor quality is not comparable to ordinary people. You must know that the military industrial rabbit is a big country, they have their own internal mechanism, including the training of actors, and they also have their own actor type of college, so their acting foundation is very solid.

It can even be said that they are more of an actor than many Hollywood actors. Because those who can be actors over there rarely become monks halfway, unless they are particularly outstanding, otherwise those who become actors are all trained from school. Li Mingbao said.

When John heard this, his brows furrowed again: "Since this is the case, then what is the point of you talking to me about these questions now?" What you can see and can't eat, when you take it out, it's only eye-catching. ”

"If you can't eat now, it doesn't mean you won't be able to eat in the future, our cooperation will not end once or twice, and the days ahead will be very long. So to let you know more about something, that is the choice I have to make as a partner.

After all, long-term cooperation requires that the strength of both sides is not much different. But the current strength comparison between us is too far apart, in order to better cooperate in the future, then I need to put some things in my hands that can be held and released for you to see. That's what collaboration really means. Li Mingbao said righteously.

But no matter what Li Mingbao says, the gap between him and one of the Hollywood giants, Twentieth Century Fox, is indeed very large. If you want to get a fair treatment as much as possible in the future, then properly showing your muscles is what Li Mingbao should do.

The Yankees do things sometimes very simply, and their so-called simplicity is the law of the jungle. If the gap between the two parties is too large, then a primary and secondary relationship must be separated. Now Li Mingbao is facing such a problem, if he does not let the Twentieth Century Fox Company understand his own value, then the so-called good friendship between himself and John cannot stop the Twentieth Century Fox Company from wanting to divide a priority.

Such means run through the whole United States. Whether it is their government, or the enterprises below, or ordinary civilians, their ideas are very consistent, a cooperation, maybe they will not mind too much, after all, they will not cooperate again in the future, once a cooperation, they still have patience.

But if it is a long-term cooperation, the relationship between primary and secondary must be clarified, unless the gap between the two parties does not reach the height of the priority to be divided, then an equal contract will be generated. But if the gap is very large, no matter how much you calculate, they will not give you an equal contract.

It's like the U.S. government and other small countries are saying that they are equal and help each other. But in reality, it is a fig leaf, and the United States can build its own military bases on the soil of small countries. But I have never seen a small country build its own military base on American soil, and this is the law of the Americans.

John can achieve the position of the boss of Twentieth Century Fox, and of course he is not a philanthropist, so after hearing Li Mingbao's words, John said with a smile: "But those people, after all, are not what Li you can control now." If you can master it, then we at Twentieth Century Fox may be able to master it too? ”

Hearing John's words, Li Mingbao couldn't help but curse the old fox in his heart. These guys, as expected, are not something they can fight in a few words.

"I may be able to master it, but John, you, or Hollywood in general, will never be able to master these people. Don't forget, these people are all military rabbit people, although the United States now has a good relationship with military rabbits, but the gap in ideas, it is difficult for them to really control your hands. Only through an intermediary like me can there be a glimmer of hope. Li Mingbao said with a smile.

"Why?" John said in surprise.

"Because I'm from Hong Kong, I'm a family with the military rabbit, but you're not. You must know that a few years ago they were still talking about US imperialism, and even now such a concept is deep-rooted, and if you want to make them out, you can't do it without an intermediary. Li Mingbao smiled at this time.

In John's eyes, there is nothing that cannot be bought with money, and the same can be said for talent. But Li Mingbao knows the past of the military rabbit, but he understands that these people really can't be bought with money, unless they are treason and make another diplomatic dispute.

John wants cheap and capable actors, but what he doesn't want is trouble. If these people use it well, it is a profitable business, and if they are not used well, it will be a big trouble. In the previous life, until thirty years later, Hollywood in the United States did not get many film talents for military rabbits.

Among them, there may not be people with big brains like Li Mingbao, who use cheap filmmakers to occupy some markets for Hollywood stars. But it is not necessarily because these people are in big trouble, even in later generations, the relationship between the two sides is very complicated.

Li Mingbao's reason really moved John. You must know that the current military rabbit, the reform and opening up has not been long ago, unless some people who have to go to the big 6, the average American, for the military rabbit is demonized, especially Hollywood, which is one of the key points, so after the head is hot, John also understands that everything over there is a big trouble.

John was a man who liked to take advantage, but he was not a man who liked to take advantage of trouble. If Li Mingbao threads the needle here, then there may be a real chance to get these film talents. So John, who understood it, immediately said: "It seems that I thought about things a little simpler before, and this matter still needs a lot of formalities, and I am most relieved to hand it over to you Li." ”

Seeing that John really had concerns in his heart now, Li Mingbao also understood that what he said just now was indeed not in vain. So he also replied with a smile: "The big 6 people need to plan slowly, but we in the Hong Kong film industry don't need to be so troublesome."

You know, even if Hong Kong's labor is much more expensive than the big 6, it is also much cheaper than Hollywood. There is no hope for the big 6 people now, but the people of Hong Kong, John, you can make an idea. ”

Hearing Li Mingbao's new Jianyì, John finally had a harvest, although the people over there in the big 6 seem to be really cheap, and they can find talents with excellent acting skills for a few hundred dollars, but the trouble over there is definitely not a small amount.

Hong Kong's filmmakers, on the other hand, have very obvious advantages, not to mention that there are not so many troubles, and they can be used directly now. After all, it is not the first time that Hong Kong movies have come to Hollywood, and it is not the first time that Hong Kong actors have appeared in Hollywood.

When the time comes, if you really want to make a movie, as long as you don't say that they are Hong Kong actors, when the movie is made, who knows whether they are Asians in the United States or actors in Hong Kong, Asia?

So, after Li Mingbao and John were all silent, a long-term plan that was engraved in the hearts of Li Mingbao and John was achieved. In a short period of time, John replaced the supporting roles that cost a lot of money but did not have excellent acting skills with actors with superb acting skills in Hong Kong to save costs.

In the long run, use the cheaper actors of the Big 6 to replace some supporting roles. As for the protagonists, Li Mingbao and John both understand that these roles are not something that Hong Kong actors or big 6 actors can touch, or in a short period of time, these people can't get involved.
