Chapter 650: Painstaking Persuasion
readx;
To say that John will keep it a secret for Li Mingbao, in Li Mingbao's opinion, it is simply nonsense. It is true that he has a relationship with John www.biquge.info but this relationship is only a relationship of interests, and there is not much sincerity in personal relationships. He was able to chat with John so happily, which was a combination of interests, and the personalities between them were completely different things. As an authentic American tycoon, John's thinking and Li Mingbao's thinking are not on the same level, John is an American Puritan, but Li Mingbao does not believe in any religion.
Don't think it's just a matter of faith, it's a trivial matter. On the American side, religion is definitely a big issue, at least among the real upper class of the United States, religion is definitely a serious topic, which can be seen from the political roots of the United States. The first doctrine that Americans embraced was Protestantism. So the United States and Europe, because of religious reasons, for a long time there is a big contradiction, here, the Orthodox Church and the Catholic Church, basically there is not much market, don't look at the worship of the same boss, but in fact the difference is quite big.
Because of religious beliefs, the United States is different from Europe in all aspects, and at least one guy who believes in Orthodox Christianity will never become the president of the United States. And a person without faith can't even touch the president's door. So don't look at the fact that the American society seems to be very developed in science and technology, in fact, their religious integrity is even more terrible than that of the mainland. The people of China have always believed in any gods and Buddhas who can help themselves, so they believe in any gods and Buddhas, but if they can't help themselves, they will not worship such gods and Buddhas at all. Anyway, there are too many immortals in Chinese mythology, and it is quite easy to find an immortal to believe in, I believe in Buddhism today, and it is the same for me to believe in Taoism tomorrow. There is no problem with this on the Huaxia side, and even in terms of doctrine, the division is not too clear, and everyone is integrating. But if you go to America or Europe, if you are a devout Protestant and you convert to Orthodox Christianity, you will just keep everyone away from you, if you put it in ancient times, then you are a heretic, and it is not a strange thing to put it on the stake as a barbecue.
This is just some problems on the surface, plus some age factors, which caused Li Mingbao and John to have little breakthrough in personal relationships. And for this situation, Li Mingbao also sees it very openly, after all, the relationship between him and John is a transaction on money, even if the personal relationship is deep, when it comes to the issue of money, it will not play a big role, since this is the case, then the two sides don't have to force themselves, just be able to cooperate happily, and don't ask for anything else.
Since there is not much good news on personal relations, Li Mingbao naturally understands that it is not a big deal for John to release some news about himself, besides, this science fiction movie genre is not something that a company in the twentieth century Fox can eat, whether it is from personal relations or interests, John has no reason to keep Li Mingbao secret.
After talking about this movie genre, the premiere of "The Terminator" is almost over, and at this time, generally speaking, it is time for Li Mingbao, the investor and producer, to go out and interact with the audience, but because of Li Mingbao's skin color, and Li Mingbao is not a famous person in the eyes of ordinary Americans. So for such a showy thing, Li Mingbao also thanked Bumin, anyway, he is not ready to be a famous star, and he is annoyed enough by the paparazzi in Hong Kong, so why go to the United States to continue to enjoy that kind of life? So he didn't show up and just let Cameron go out. And he went on to talk to John about something else.
"John, in recent years, my actions on the American side may be quite low-key, at most, there will be some actions in the production of programs, and the rest of the time, I will definitely use it on the mainland side. So for a long time to come, we won't be able to see each other often. So I hope you can help me watch DreamWorks a little bit more, after all, it's been a lot of work, after all, it's been a lot of work, and I don't want me to lose my attention, and DreamWorks will collapse without knowing it, which is definitely not a good thing. Li Mingbao said to John very seriously.
John is also mentally prepared for Li Mingbao's words, plus Li Mingbao said that he was not involved in the science fiction movie genre before, and it is not so bizarre to say such things now.
But Li Mingbao's words somewhat surprised John, after all, Li Mingbao's industry in the United States is quite huge, especially the newly opened DreamWorks program production company, the profitability of this company, which is enough to make many people red, such a money-making machine, if Li Mingbao redoubles his efforts, it will not be difficult to become a giant company on TV shows in the future, but now it seems that although Li Mingbao did not say that he would give up this industry, but his work adjustment, for this company, It's not a good thing, after all, a company is in rapid development, and now the boss is busy with other things, which will naturally hinder the development of the company, although professional managers are popular in the United States, and they usually do quite well.
But in the film and television industry, the role of managers does not have as much room for play as other industries, after all, the most important thing in this industry is to look at creativity, and Li Mingbao can rise so quickly in the United States, absolutely indispensable to his classic ideas, and these ideas are things that managers can't make up, if managers can have such ability, they will never be managers, but to start their own businesses, so get the rewards, It's definitely a lot higher than being a manager.
John has no reason to stop Li Mingbao's development direction, but John also feels very sorry for Li Mingbao's decision, you know, now the closest cooperation with DreamWorks program production company is their Twentieth Century Fox Company, if Li Mingbao, a person with a lot of creativity, rarely appears in the United States, then the corresponding twentieth Century Fox can make a lot less money from DreamWorks.
As a real capitalist, no one would be willing to watch himself make less money, and John is the same, so although John had no reason to stop Li Mingbao, John still said: "Mr. Li, you are the person with the most potential for development in the entertainment industry I have ever seen, and the United States is also a non-negligible existence where your net worth has doubled."
Originally, Mr. Li, where you are developing, you don't need an outsider like me to speak. But Mr. Li, you also have to think about it, will the development potential of the mainland be even better than that of Hollywood? I can fully believe that Mr. Li, as long as you settle down and develop patiently on the Hollywood side, maybe it won't take ten years to truly become a person of my level. And the profits earned will make many people blush.
Development in Hollywood is the paradise for Mr. Li's development. But I don't know why Mr. Li made such a decision, although the innate conditions of the mainland are quite ideal, no matter what industry you are in, as long as you continue to do it, just the population base can make a certain company in any industry develop by leaps and bounds.
But after all, the mainland only has potential now, and the real economic strength has not yet come up, and if you want to come up, you don't know how long it will take, maybe you spend ten years laying the foundation there, and put it on the side of the United States, at most, you can recover all the costs in one year, and make a lot of money.
It's definitely not that I'm kidding. In fact, although Hollywood's understanding of the mainland is not very comprehensive, for those of us, some of the situations on the mainland are not too unfamiliar, and with the current relationship between the United States and the mainland, it is not so difficult to know something. So don't say it's you, even those of us understand that the mainland has great potential, and even after it is really developed, it will be a super huge market that is not inferior to our United States.
But these things all have a premise, that is, they must wait for the mainland to be truly developed. If there were no such innate conditions, then the so-called superiority of the mainland would not actually be better than that of Black Africa, which is the real reason why those of us do not care so much about the interests of the mainland at this time. We can't estimate the time of the rise of the continent, ten or twenty years, we can afford to wait, but what if it is forty or fifty years later? In that case, even if there is a big interest over there, does it have a dime to do with us? Who knew if we were still in this beautiful world at that time? Unless it is some special enterprises or industries, otherwise, the advantages of the mainland are not so obvious.
It is a good move for you to participate in the construction of the mainland now, but the risk is also very huge, if Mr. Li you still have nothing, then I will definitely suggest you go to the mainland to explore it, after all, the potential over there cannot be underestimated, if you really do something, for a newcomer, the profit return is also quite satisfactory. But these benefits are not an advantage for a person as successful as Mr. Li.
Because Mr. Li, you can get the same conditions in any country now, even in Hollywood, Mr. Li is now quite a famous person, in this case, I do not recommend Mr. Li to go to the mainland to adventure. After all, the world is always developing, and although Mr. Li, you are developing quite well in Hollywood, but the competition here should not be underestimated.
If Mr. Li puts most of your energy into the mainland, then on the Hollywood side, you will definitely not have so much time to manage, and your career will always be against the current. As long as you don't make progress, you are actually regressing, and if you delay too long on the mainland, then it is definitely not a joke to be robbed of the market in Hollywood, even we at Twentieth Century Fox can't avoid such a situation, let alone DreamWorks, so Mr. Li, when you think about such a problem, it's best to think about whether it's worth it. ”
