Li Mingbao didn't directly say that he didn't do any film business, which is good news for John, although it will definitely be worse than when Li Mingbao was prolific before, but there is still some money to be made. www.biquge.info As long as there is money to be earned, then other details do not need to be considered.

Of course, in fact, Li Mingbao himself is not actually a prolific person. If another person gets an opportunity like Li Mingbao, then he will release ten movies a year. is the only guy Li Mingbao, considering the problem of market share and the competitiveness of the film industry, so he found another way and made another choice.

As far as Li Mingbao himself is concerned, although his current status in the film industry is quite unusual, whether it is in North America, Hong Kong, East Asia, or the mainland, when he is talked about, he is usually a big man in the film industry. But if you really want to talk about it, Li Mingbao, a big man in the film industry, has actually made less than ten movies, and the movies that have been indirectly affected are also no more than 30.

With such a small number of movies, he has made a name for himself as a movie boss, and I have to say that Li Mingbao is a strange guy. Any other bigwig in the film industry, which one is not the number of at least hundreds of movies on hand? Compared with them, Li Mingbao is equivalent to a newcomer, at most he can be compared with the bosses of ordinary small and medium-sized film companies.

But although the number of movies called Li Mingbao is not much, in terms of quality, it is quite extraordinary, and it only takes a few movies to reach its current status. This kind of thing is completely incomparable to others, of course, if the movies in DreamWorks are also counted on Li Mingbao's head, then the gap between him and those movie bigwigs is not as huge as imagined. But you must know that DreamWorks was established in the United States, and the film industry in the United States is not comparable to Hong Kong. In addition, the establishment time is so short, don't look at DreamWorks now has the name of a large film company in Hollywood, but in terms of total output, it is actually similar to those old small film companies.

In general, Li Mingbao's identity as a movie boss is actually quite watery, and he is not a pure filmmaker, but who is called Li Mingbao wants to achieve the effect, he is not an ordinary movie boss, and the path he is taking now is originally chosen by himself. If he really follows the path of ordinary film industry bigwigs, then Li Mingbao may not be so stable and harmless now.

After all, you have made a lot of movies, and the market is very good, so to a certain extent, it is squeezing the market of other people's film companies, and things like this are easy to cause some different contradictions. Just like the real DreamWorks in later generations, their strength can be said to be quite strong, and to a certain extent, those who join DreamWorks are not much worse than those old giants in terms of personnel and capital.

If you want to talk about the heritage, it is definitely countless times better than Li Mingbao's dream factory heritage. But why did such a dream factory go bankrupt in the end? It's not because of the problem of ability, but because they block the financial path of too many people, and the film companies they make, whether they are giants or other large film companies, are intentionally or unintentionally squeezing them out, even if there are good movies to produce, they can't sell them at a good price, capital can't be virtuously circulated, and the money they make in the end is not as much as when they were fighting alone, in this case, those people will naturally have to separate. At that time, the situation was that if DreamWorks faced one or two giants alone, it would not be difficult for them, and victory was definitely not delusional.

But it's a pity that they were opposed to them at that time, not just one or two giant companies at all, but equivalent to most of the Hollywood film industry, in this case, if they still win, then they will be the real kings of Hollywood, and the giant companies will have to back down when they see them. But the actual situation is not so good, and in the end DreamWorks still disintegrated, not because DreamWorks is not strong, but mainly because the opponent is too strong.

learned such a lesson, so that Li Mingbao understood that no matter how awesome his personal ability is, compared with the strength of the entire industry, it is a drop in the bucket. If you don't want to learn from the dream factory that was wheeled in history, then your dream factory must not be able to go against the entire industry, which is the main reason why Li Mingbao is satisfied with guarding the horror film market. In any industry, if anyone wants to make a lot of money, unless he really has the ability to monopolize it, otherwise the end will be very bleak, and being besieged is a sure thing. That is, to understand this truth, after obtaining the start-up capital, Li Mingbao rarely touched the movie in person again.

It's not that he doesn't know how movies make money, but he understands that if he makes too much money by making movies, he will definitely end up making enemies of the world. If you are happy for a while, you don't want to be happy for the rest of your life, and you will always be guarded against. This kind of life is not what Li Mingbao wants.

With Li Mingbao's words, John's psychology also has a little bottom. As long as Li Mingbao does not completely withdraw from this industry, then the impact on John will not be as huge as imagined, and Li Mingbao said that he will not often contact movies in the future, but he did not say that he will not often contact TV shows in the future. In this way, the relationship between Li Mingbao and Twentieth Century Fox is actually not as dull as imagined.

Even if the profits of TV shows are high enough, their relationship will be even closer.

Seeing that John's face finally returned to normal, Li Mingbao continued: "Of course, my future path is to go to the entertainment service industry, but it does not mean that we will have fewer opportunities for cooperation in the future, there will not be too many movies, it does not mean that there will not be too many TV shows, TV shows do not require so much artistry compared to movies, and more attention is paid to creativity, and creativity is such a thing, I have handed over to DreamWorks quite a lot."

If you want me to say, as long as all the ideas I get are completely done, then the profits we get together will definitely not be low, and it is not impossible to get higher than the profits of movies. On this alone we have a strong basis for cooperation.

Besides, when I went to the mainland some time ago, I also gained considerable benefits. And this benefit is something that we imagined not long after we met. Originally, this kind of thing should have been done a long time ago, but the timing was not right before, and now the mainland has finally spoken, so that our original expectations can be realized. ”

"Something to do with the mainland?" Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John asked a little strangely, he didn't think for a while, is there any cooperation between himself and Li Mingbao on the mainland? Fortunately, John did not have Alzheimer's, and after thinking about it for a while, he understood what Li Mingbao was talking about.

After understanding, John asked with some surprise: "Li, do you mean to say that a few years ago we talked about using cheap film talents from the mainland?" Could it be that the policy on the mainland side has been opened up? Such a big thing, how did I not know? ”

John does have reason to be surprised, you know, such a thing is quite a big thing for the film industry, especially in a place like Hollywood, where information is developed, if there are relevant policies on the mainland, then Hollywood will know about it, and it won't take too long. After all, there is still a honeymoon period between the United States and the mainland, and people here in Hollywood have no reason not to know about things like this? It's okay if the people below don't know, but someone like John who is at the top of Hollywood doesn't either, so it's really a bit strange.

Seeing John's appearance, Li Mingbao replied with a smile: "It's normal that you don't know about this question, after all, although the mainland has opened up relevant policies, it has not really opened up, but a small-scale pilot." In your parlance, that's the exception.

Because this open policy is only limited to our company, and our company is the only channel and bridge. Without our company's contact, this open-door policy is actually useless. So you Hollywood don't know, and it's not surprising, that just one company can do such a thing, of course, it's not really open. True openness is a completely barrier-free communication, and there is no need to open up relevant things through our company's channels at all. ”

"Oh, my God. Do you mean that the mainland is not really opening up the project now, but is only authorizing your company? It's incredible, it's a complete monopoly. You actually monopolize such a huge market in the mainland, which is really eye-catching. John said sourly.

No one has a better say in things like monopolies, especially in the film industry, than Hollywood. Hollywood has enjoyed a monopoly in the European and American film markets for so many years, which is the real reason why they are so confident to compete with those on Wall Street. Even because the current president of the United States can be regarded as a person from Hollywood to a certain extent, these people on the Hollywood side have been quite nourishing in recent years.

There is no one who is not jealous of the interests of the monopoly, even in the mainland where Li Mingbao is now monopolized, the market situation is not very good. But that's enough to make any Hollywood giant company red-eyed, the market is not good and it depends on the situation, if it is the whole Hollywood, then the market on the mainland side is equivalent to chicken ribs, but there is only one company. Then even the giant companies will be happy to die by the monopoly interests.

At this time, John somewhat understood why Li Mingbao cared so much about the mainland market, if John could have such an opportunity, the choice he made might not be much better than Li Mingbao.
