Chapter 304: A Pleasant Conversation

readx;

Li Mingbao's words were a bit loud, and after hearing Li Mingbao's words, Cameron's brows furrowed: "I don't know what kind of status Mr. Li has in the Hong Kong film industry?" This is a bit unusual from the perspective of the problem. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Cameron's words are quite polite, but the meaning in them is understood by everyone. The so-called eating gutter oil and the heart of the South China Sea in his heart are talking about some amateur audiences. Obviously, after Li Mingbao said this, he was also labeled as such by Cameron.

Although Cameron himself is a very arrogant person, he doesn't like to be with other arrogant people, and there is no room for two tigers, which is basically the same reason. Li Mingbao's words just now are really high-end and high-end, as if an unknown person suddenly made rules in Hollywood.

"Although I am relatively young, I can still speak in the Hong Kong film industry, at least more than 90% of the cinema market in Hong Kong is determined by my company, and I am the majority shareholder of Hong Kong's United Cinema Chain. And I have a very good relationship with the top film companies in Hong Kong, and I usually have to shoot movies in Hong Kong without any problems. Li Mingbao said lightly.

"Wouldn't it? How is this possible? Can Hong Kong's cinemas control film companies? Cameron was really surprised.

Although he doesn't have a deep understanding of the Hong Kong film industry, he also knows that the status of Hong Kong films in East Asia is quite high, although compared with Hollywood, the gap is very far, but after all, the area covered is still quite good, especially the Japanese market, Hong Kong films are treated in the Japanese market, even the current Hollywood is envious.

"This is normal, in fact, without me, the three major cinema chains in Hong Kong have their own independent cinema channels, that is, because of the existence of cinemas, their film companies will become the leading companies in the Hong Kong film industry. This situation is actually similar to the previous time when Hollywood cinema studios were not split.

And now the Hong Kong film market has changed a lot, because the United Cinema Chain I established has received most of the movie theaters in Hong Kong into my own hands, as long as Hong Kong does not establish corresponding legal measures, then it is normal for my cinema chain to affect Hong Kong's film schedule. It is precisely because of this that I need to have certain means for the healthy development of Hong Kong films. Originally, Li Mingbao would not tell outsiders about such a thing, but for Cameron, Li Mingbao needs to gain his favor, after all, this person's achievements are rare in Hollywood, and it is necessary to deal with him well.

Therefore, Li Mingbao did not hide his secret in front of Cameron, which was also increasing his chips for himself, so that Cameron knew how awesome he really was.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, Cameron realized that Li Mingbao said such big words, and he did have his own confidence and could control the film distribution of the film company, which was completely the existence of a film trust, although Hong Kong and Hollywood are not comparable at all, but no matter how small a place is, it is not a simple thing to become a trust.

Even after knowing the news, Cameron felt that if he really cooperated with Li Mingbao, it would not be impossible. After all, although this guy is young, his strength is quite strong, and his strength is very beneficial to the shooting of his own movies. In this way, Cameron does not treat Li Mingbao as a simple Hollywood film company owner, but as a fortune boy.

referred to as a local tyrant, Cameron definitely has great patience for local tyrants, and he knows that as long as the local tyrants let go, the problem of his film funding will definitely not be a problem. They don't care if they lose money or not, they only care about whether it goes well or not.

"It seems that Mr. Li, you are really very powerful, since this is the case, then let's talk about the script, I believe that my script will definitely not disappoint you." Cameron said excitedly.

Next, Cameron began to talk about the idea of his script, and in order to be able to win the trust of Li Mingbao and them, he directly put the storyboard script of the script in front of Li Mingbao and them, and then explained the concept of the movie while talking about which shot needs what and how much it costs.

After Cameron's introduction, not only Li Mingbao had a deep understanding of Cameron's script, but even Mary and Jiang Zhiqiang had a deep understanding of Cameron's script.

At this time, Mary also understood why Li Mingbao called this director, who had no fame at all, after letting go of the company. To be honest, Cameron's script is a big subversion for the current Hollywood, with a hint of madness. And Mary doesn't happen to be a peaceful character, and madness is even more in line with his appetite.

On the contrary, Jiang Zhiqiang does not have too many feelings about such a science fiction film. This can be regarded as a matter of Hong Kong people's vision, except for people like Li Mingbao who are prescient, even Jiang Zhiqiang, a filmmaker who has been running in Europe and the United States, is quite lacking in awareness of science fiction films.

After all, in Hong Kong, there is only one Ni frame who can be regarded as a science fiction talent, but Ni Frame's novels really have to be taken into account, in fact, they can only be regarded as soft science fiction, for the precise structure of the world, it is completely insufficient, and the feeling is more suspenseful, or the science fiction thing that appears at the end is quite blunt, and the world structure is a complete mess.

So Jiang Zhiqiang doesn't have a very good feeling about science fiction movies, even if Cameron says it in detail, he doesn't have a very good concept, whether it's a good movie or a bad movie, with this script, he can't judge. But instinctively, Jiang Zhiqiang doesn't want to invest in science fiction films.

So after listening to Cameron's words, Jiang Zhiqiang had to speak first: "I don't have a very good idea of science fiction films, and I can't judge the market prospects for this kind of movie." But boss, don't forget, the sci-fi film made by Uncle Six before was a mess at the box office in Hong Kong, even if Hollywood has a strong ability to accept it, but Cameron's idea is very novel, I don't know if the North American market will accept it. ”

Although Jiang Zhiqiang said that it was difficult to judge the market prospects, he took out the movie made by Uncle Sixth as a comparison, and fools knew what he wanted to express. So Li Mingbao, who heard Jiang Zhiqiang's words, couldn't cry or laugh.

Can Uncle Six's movie be compared to Cameron's? This is simply a joke, a clumsy imitator, compared with a world famous director who spares no cost for the sake of the movie effect, is as ridiculous as Zhang Fei beating Yue Fei, and there is no comparison at all.

"Brother Qiang, Uncle Six's movie and this movie are completely two different concepts, okay? When Uncle Six made that movie, I didn't agree with it, but Uncle Six wanted to be on such a project, so the effect of the last movie, even if it wasn't released, I understand. For a person as stingy as Uncle Six, he is not very suitable for making big-budget movies, especially movies like science fiction films.

You get what you pay for, Uncle Six wants to save money and come up with a good movie, science fiction is definitely not a type he can grasp, the cost of this, even if it is one dollar less, the effect is completely different, investing in science fiction films, especially to achieve the effect of Mr. Cameron, you must invest a lot, Uncle Six is reluctant, and naturally there will be no return.

But I'm different from Uncle Six, although I also started with small-budget movies, it doesn't mean that I won't invest in big movies, if big movies want to sell money, then they must be sincere, and I am a very sincere person for investment. Li Mingbao said proudly.

"Yes, that's it, the budget for making a movie must be enough, otherwise after the deletion, the effect of the movie will be greatly reduced, and then it will not play a shocking role, it seems that it is most appropriate to find Mr. Li as my investor. Mr. Li, don't worry, as long as I am the director of the film and have the power to edit, then I will definitely give you a satisfactory work. Cameron is like meeting a soulmate.

Hearing Cameron's words, Li Mingbao was not only happy, but the corners of his mouth were also twitching. Cameron's budget for movies has always been a headache for film companies. Not to mention a small company like him, even if it is a giant company more than ten years later, for his broken ship, he almost didn't let the two giant companies hang up.

Such a person, if Li Mingbao didn't know that he really had the ability to be awesome, he wouldn't have invested in Cameron if he was killed, so where is the investment! It's purely a game of size, the winner takes all, and the loser falls.

If he hadn't insisted on finishing the filming and release of "Titanic", the cliffs of the two giants would be a model of bad luck. In this way, the issue of the release of the movie "Titanic" is also a big trouble. If it weren't for the two giant companies that invested in him, just large companies, then the release would mean bankruptcy, and there would be no second way to go.

After all, at the beginning, the box office of "Titanic" was not too good, and the reason why he had such a legendary box office was completely because of the long release time, more than 40 weeks, which completely broke the record of release, which led to the fact that those companies behind made money.

If you change to a large film company, can you make the theater chain so face-saving? The release results were not good, and the screen was compressed immediately, and then it didn't take long to give the next picture, if it was really that time, "Titanic" might not be able to become a legend.

Therefore, the birth of a legend requires not only the quality of the movie itself, but also the support of giant companies. Without any of these conditions, the film would not have become a legend. The investment of more than 200 million US dollars is not something that a small company with a cat and a dog can afford, Cameron is very lucky, so he was able to find such a rich man...
