"How much? HK$5,000,000? Did I hear me right? After Wu Yusen heard Li Mingbao's words, he called out in surprise.

Seeing Wu Yusen like this, Li Mingbao was also a little proud in his heart, that is, now, more than ten or twenty years later, someone will say that he is looking for Wu Yusen to make a movie with an investment of 5 million Hong Kong dollars. Let's see if Wu Yusen will spray you to death.

But if this investment amount is to be put in 82 years now, it will definitely be sky-high. No one in the Hong Kong film industry, or an outsider, dares to invest in Hong Kong to shoot a movie with an investment of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and only he Li Mingbao can make such a big deal.

The investment of 5 million Hong Kong dollars does not seem too big, and even Li Mingbao's investment in filming "Home Alone" in the United States is not as good. But you have to know that "Home Alone" was filmed in the United States, and the North American market alone can fully recover its costs and make a lot of money. What's more, there is the European market, and some other scattered places, not to mention the investment of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, even if it is an investment of 5 million US dollars, relying on the North American market, the cost can be fully recovered.

But now Li Mingbao's filming place is in Hong Kong, and the investment of 5 million Hong Kong dollars is really too speechless, there are only three Hong Kong films in this year and month that have exceeded 10 million at the box office, and two of them are made by Li Mingbao. And movies with a box office of more than one million will have a celebration party for ordinary film companies.

And Li Mingbao now has to invest 5 million Hong Kong dollars for a movie, in Wu Yusen's view, whether he can recover the cost is a big question. Although a movie built with so much money will not be too bad at the box office. But it's not so easy to recoup your costs.

Because Hong Kong at this time, the box office was 5 million, which was very successful for others. And now Li Mingbao wants to invest 5 million Hong Kong dollars to make a movie, even if the box office exceeds 10 million, Li Mingbao's actual income is actually not much.

There may be some small losses, and this is still the case of a box office of more than 10 million, if the box office of this movie does not exceed 10 million, then it is doomed that this movie is a loss-making business. Wu Yusen, who was still worried about not investing enough, was worried about whether Li Mingbao's investment was too huge at this time.

Seeing Wu Yusen's bitter face, Li Mingbao said in a good mood: "The investment of five million Hong Kong dollars is actually not much. I have faith in this film. Besides, the five million Hong Kong dollars are not only the budget for filming the movie, but also the actors' salaries and some other expenses, and the money really used for the filming of the movie should be two or three million. ”

"Two or three million is also money, I really don't know how to spend all this money when so much money is invested in filming. You must know that the movies I shot before, the investment amount was less than 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, even if it was more than 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, it was relatively small, but now Li Sheng, you want me to spend two or three million Hong Kong dollars at once, I really don't know how to spend this money. Wu Yusen said with a wry smile.

Wu Yusen is not Xu Ke, Xu Ke can take a picture of Shushan and spend 20 million Hong Kong dollars on Jiahe without blinking. But Wu Yusen didn't have that ability. Besides, the reason why Shushan spends so much money, most of the money is spent on special effects, and the investment in other aspects is actually pitiful.

And gunfight movies don't need special effects, even if they get Tsui Hark, it won't cost much. But now Li Mingbao wants Wu Yusen to spend two or three million Hong Kong dollars on a gunfight movie, to be honest, this is a lot of pressure.

"So, Hong Kong movies have always wanted to fight big with small, although my previous two movies also had such problems, but Hong Kong movies can't always be like this. It may not be obvious now, but when others are disgusted with this model, Hong Kong movies will one day be watched by no one.

Although I also made this movie for money, I would rather have someone who could see that the movie is not gambling, and that you want to make more money by spending a little money. Sometimes gambling also requires a cost, and the same is true for making movies, if you make the cost bigger, the movie will naturally look much better.

As for how you should spend your money, I'll give you a suggestion, which is the counterfeit money machine that first appeared, and you can make it more high-tech, of course, I don't mean to really achieve that effect, but to say that it looks more high-end. And will the counterfeiters be poor?

Those big guys, you can't let them all take the bus, can you? The house you live in can't be a small place, right? The cigarettes they smoke, the wine they drink, and the small details must always show that they are very rich, otherwise, the money they make from counterfeit money, will they still deposit it in the bank as interest! Li Mingbao couldn't help but complain.

This is definitely not to blame Li Mingbao, it is really the original version of "The True Colors of Heroes", and his shaping ability in this regard is really poor. In the whole movie, the only thing that can be obtained is a Rolls-Royce, and the rest of the things are not as rich as the counterfeit money group at all.

The guy who gets dollars is like a printer, and he doesn't even wear protective clothing. The big boss's office is actually such a small place. A few bigwigs went to drink, and they didn't even bring two of their younger brothers, and when they talked about big things, they were actually in the hall, for fear that others wouldn't hear about it, such a counterfeit money group actually made its business global, which is too.

Of course, all kinds of reasons come down to two words, that is, there is no money. After all, when this movie was filmed, Wu Yusen almost couldn't even get investment, if it weren't for Zhang Guorong's help, maybe the movie would have died.

And now that this movie is in the hands of Li Mingbao, Li Mingbao naturally wants to make this movie perfect. Although it can't be said that there are no loopholes at all, at least we should try to get some things that are not meticulous as well as possible.

Hearing Li Mingbao's evaluation, Wu Yusen's cold sweat broke out again, if Li Mingbao hadn't said these words, Wu Yusen really planned to do it like that, after all, it was very cost-effective to do that, and for some details, the cost was too big, in Wu Yusen's opinion, this was a complete waste.

"If you do everything as Li Sheng said, then it seems that it is okay to spend two or three million on the cost of this movie. But Li Sheng, this money is not practical to spend so much, after all, the movie is mainly to watch the plot, some detailed things, the money is spent a lot, but the effect may not be much better. After all, Hong Kong is such a big place, and it takes so much effort, it's completely unnecessary. Wu Yusen said what he thought.

"Who says the film will only be released in Hong Kong? As long as you make this movie well, I will definitely take it to the North American market. Hong Kong doesn't have to spend so much effort, but the audience in North America is very picky, and the details are not in place, even if the plot is good, not many people will like it. Li Mingbao said naturally.

In Li Mingbao's view, the fundamental reason why Hong Kong films rarely enter the North American market is that these Hong Kong directors do not pay much attention to the details of the problem. In the previous life, "The True Color of Heroes" did not go to Hollywood to make money, for what?

Is there no channel? Or is the movie not exciting enough? No, at least Li Mingbao believes that this movie is indeed a classic, not to mention the channels, "The True Color of Heroes" has set off such a big storm in the Hong Kong film industry, and people who really want to have ideas will have no channels to go to Europe and the United States, which is completely underestimating the IQ of Hong Kong people. And the plot of this movie is also wonderful, even in Europe and the United States, it cannot be said that it has no characteristics.

But why didn't the film sell to those places in the first place? Li Mingbao believes that the key reason lies in the lack of details, you can print dollars as easily as printing newspapers, this is completely challenging the intelligence of Americans, the dollar is really so easy to get, the Americans themselves do it, why cooperate with a Hong Kong company?

In the very beginning of the plot alone, the vast majority of Yankees must have been defeated. Coupled with the investment instigated in the back, you can't feel the local tyrants of the counterfeiting group at all, such a movie, no matter how good the plot is, in the eyes of Americans, it has no meaning.

The Yankees are not from Hong Kong, the film industry there is already good, and if a foreign film wants to shine in the United States, it must do everything well, so that people will not find obvious faults. And the movie "The True Color of Heroes" obviously made such a mistake, and it is no wonder that this movie was not sold to the United States at the beginning, but the loopholes in this movie are too big.

And now that this movie is in the hands of Li Mingbao, Li Mingbao naturally wants to fill these obvious loopholes, otherwise, how can he go to the United States to cheat money? Yankee's money is actually easy to earn, as long as you show sincerity, then it will be natural for Yankees to pay money.

Li Mingbao's thoughts, Wu Yusen naturally didn't understand too much, but when he heard Li Mingbao say that this movie will not only be released in Hong Kong, but also take it to the United States to earn dollars. Such news made Wu Yusen's little heart and liver flutter. God, it is worthy of Li Mingbao, filming a movie for him, this is very beneficial, and the pressure is even greater. There are still few local films in Hong Kong that can be taken to the United States to earn dollars, but Li Mingbao has such ability.

It is no wonder that Li Mingbao is not stingy with film investment, and the main purpose is to target the United States. If you have dollars to earn, you are naturally willing to pay for it. Hong Kong's box office doesn't need to be seen. For Wu Yusen, this pie was so big that he was a little out of breath.
