"Oh my God, Mr. Lee, you're really thinking too much about Hollywood. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info (The United States is a society governed by the rule of law, how can you not bring out the money you earn with your own skills?) If that were the case, no one else would come to the United States to do business. John said with some exaggeration.

"Someone else is someone else, I'm me, it's different, what I mean, I think you understand John, so my worries are not unfounded. My body can't resist the kneading of those big people. It doesn't matter if you make a little money, if you make a lot of money, there will always be problems of one kind or another. Li Mingbao said slowly.

"It's true that some people are not very likable, they do things more disgustingly. But Mr. Li, you think that you are making a little money, which is not quite right, although you yourself have released another movie in Hollywood in addition to the movie "Home Alone". But you DreamWorks, since its establishment, the money you have made is not a small amount of money. Since you last returned from the United States to the present, the money that DreamWorks has made has at least more than 100 million US dollars, and this money, even in Hollywood, is not something that any company can make, so much money is not a small amount of money. John said at this time.

"This money is still only a small amount compared to making my own movies. Although I can't make every movie as a blockbuster like Home Alone, if I really want to make two or three movies with hundreds of millions of dollars a year, it's not too difficult. Compared to such publicity, isn't the money in DreamWorks a small amount of money? Li Mingbao asked rhetorically.

"If it's really just a small amount of money that DreamWorks makes, as you said, is it true that your movie will be a hit?" John asked with interest.

"Although it is not a good thing to pay lip service, it is really not difficult for me to make some blockbuster movies, which is similar in Hong Kong and Hollywood. I've tried it in Hong Kong before, and I've written more than a dozen scripts for several big Hong Kong film companies at the same time, and then those scripts are shown over a period of time, and guess what? Li Mingbao looked at John and asked jokingly.

"I don't know much about this, you also know that I don't know much about things in Hong Kong."

"On average, the box office of a movie released in Hong Kong will not be less than 30 million Hong Kong dollars. And John in Hong Kong, you must also know that the box office of 30 million Hong Kong dollars, compared with the box office results of Hollywood, is basically equivalent to every movie, with a box office of hundreds of millions of dollars.

So I haven't made a film for most of the last half a year, and of course there are other things that involve my energy and don't have time to make a movie quietly, but a big reason is that I know that my films will do very well. If I get too many movies out at once, it's okay to talk about it in Hong Kong, but if it's Hollywood in the United States, maybe every big boss will have to talk to me about things. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in negotiations, so I really don't have the same passion for film as I did at the beginning, because the film industry is a little easier for me. Li Mingbao said boastfully. Although what Li Mingbao said is the truth, if Li Mingbao hadn't plagiarized other people's good movies, the ghost would have such confidence that his movie would definitely be a hit.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John also knew that Li Mingbao couldn't be nonsense, but it was because Li Mingbao didn't talk nonsense, so this kind of words were terrifying enough. If Li Mingbao's ability to write scripts and make movies is really so strong, Li Mingbao is more restrained and doesn't make movies with great fanfare on Hollywood's side, it really makes sense.

Nima, every movie can exceed 100 million US dollars at the box office, and on the Hollywood side, even a few giant companies don't dare to do it alone, it's purely to kill people. Although Hollywood openly says that all movies are free, as long as you have the ability, then you can play as much as you can, and there will be absolutely no one to stop you.

In fact, these words are just to deceive people who don't know. If there is really such a character in Hollywood, let alone a foreigner, even if it is a native, if there is no hard enough queen... Taiwan, such an act equivalent to collecting money, will be jointly deducted... system, if you don't get such a person out, everyone will not have a good life.

If Li Mingbao throws out such more than ten scripts at one time in Hollywood, it is equivalent to at least more than one billion US dollars at the box office, as well as the profits of peripheral industries, which is an output value of two or three billion US dollars.

"Mr. Li, your words are really a bit amazing. If your abilities are really this strong, then Hollywood really can't tolerate you. Unless you do things honestly, otherwise, you will get into trouble... The trouble is not surprising either. But it would be a pity if Mr. Li gave up your film talent like this. If it can be trickled for a long time, it is something that can be done for Mr. Li. John said with a helpless tone at this time.

originally wanted to take advantage of Li Mingbao's movies, after all, for the distribution of Li Mingbao's films, Twentieth Century Fox also made a lot of money. But if Li Mingbao does something like in Hong Kong, even the 20th Century Fox Company will not be able to stop so many people. Therefore, Li Mingbao's movies can only be taken by Twentieth Century Fox if they are not so frequent, and if they are too frequent, even if John wants to make money, he has to consider the impact.

"So, I haven't made my own movies for a long time recently, but here in the United States, I have invested in a movie, maybe it will be released next year, and when the time comes, we can still cooperate." Li Mingbao said.

"Which Terminator are you talking about? A movie directed by a newcomer, you are so willing to pay the capital, you are not afraid of losing money? John asked.

"The film is quite original and the quality itself is very good. In my opinion, this movie may become a classic, and if it takes a little effort to release it, it will not be difficult to break the box office of 100 million dollars.

And the box office of this movie, in my opinion, is not the focus, the focus is on some of the technologies used in this film, and on these technologies, I see some development direction of future films. So even if the box office performance of this movie is worse than that of Home Alone, but in terms of influence, this movie will be quite large. Li Mingbao said seriously.

"So, if we don't release this movie at Twentieth Century Fox, will our company lose money? You're looking for me this time, mainly for this movie, right? Since you are so respectful, after the movie sample is cut, let's see how this movie is. Hearing Li Mingbao praise this movie so much, John nodded and agreed.

"About this movie, it's not the main reason why I came out of you this time, the main reason why I came to you today is that I want to ask you, do you have any TVB that you need to shoot in Twentieth Century Fox? I remember that your company also has this business, and it just so happened that I wanted to start a TV station again recently, so I simply handed over this business to you, after all, it is an old relationship, and I can rest assured that I will cooperate with you. At this time, Li Mingbao told the main purpose of this time.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, John was very surprised: "TV station? Oh my God, Mr. Li, why did you suddenly mention this thing? Will your main business in the future be put on TV? That's not a good idea. As a good friend of yours, I don't accept your decision. You're doing a good job in movies, why do you have to be a TV station? Even our Twentieth Century Fox Company, in the field of television stations, although we have our own business, but this business is not very profitable. You suddenly switched to the TV industry, will you stop making movies in the future? That's a big loss. ā€

"Who says I don't make movies anymore? Although I can't directly disrupt the market with movies like I did in Hong Kong, it won't be a problem to come to a movie once in a while and make a little money. Movies are my main business, TV is just my personal hobby, I have some ideas, I need TV stations to realize, just when I buy a big toy, it's not a big deal. Li Mingbao heard John's words and explained with a smile.

"I see, I thought you were going to change careers. If it's just for fun, then it's not a big problem, although I'm not the most professional in this industry, but I can introduce you to some TV stations that can be played, whether it's wireless or wired, I can find it for you. John heard that Li Mingbao just wanted to play, although it was impossible to believe Li Mingbao's words 100%, but he still enthusiastically agreed, anyway, there is no law in the United States that prohibits foreigners from operating TV stations in the United States, and there will be no legal trouble.

"Why the introduction? Can't you sell me so many TV stations owned by Twentieth Century Fox? Wouldn't it be more troublesome to find someone else? Li Mingbao asked curiously.

"This is a bit of a hassle, Baby Kiddy, can you go and pour us some hot coffee?" At this time, John suddenly broke the sweetheart on the side. Even when Li Mingbao said that his money in the film industry was very profitable, he didn't let John do this, but now when it comes to the TV station, John actually wants to branch the golden silk cat next to him, seeing this situation, Li Mingbao knows that maybe there is something in it that he doesn't know very well, otherwise John would not be so vigilant.

And the girl named Katie, although she may not be too old, but in such a matter, she did not cause any trouble to John, after giving John a hot kiss, she twisted her ass and walked away, even the coffee pot on the table, she did not take away, obviously, she understood that John did not really want her to pour hot coffee, just did not want her to hear some confidential things.
