For people like Li Mingbao and them who are in the entertainment industry, playing a few Yanmars or something, there is no problem at all, and the small lights below can sometimes get fat, not to mention Li Mingbao and those who are bosses, like things like beautiful women, as long as they haven't become Panasonic, everyone has the same hobby.

"Ah Bao, you are younger than me, you will definitely be able to have a better time, there is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women here in Hollywood, there are film talents from all over the world, as long as you like, three people a day for two months, you can not bring the same." After Jiang Zhiqiang and Li Mingbao sat in Cadillac, Jiang Zhiqiang said.

When the two adult men return to the company, both parties have a satisfied smile, especially when the boss and subordinates have some hobbies in common, it is easy to shorten the distance between the two parties. This is just like the saying that circulates on the mainland, the four major irons today. As long as the two sides have anything in common in this regard, then even strangers can quickly close the distance, after entertaining Li Mingbao and his party to eat and drink, and after a pleasant time in the evening, at nine o'clock in the morning the next day, Li Mingbao and Jiang Zhiqiang sat in the general manager's office of DreamWorks and began to talk about things officially.

"The development of our DreamWorks in the United States, first relied on the distribution channels of Twentieth Century Fox, and then established its own distribution channels, our distribution channels basically involved the western part of North America, but the United States is prosperous in the east, so after establishing the channel system, we acquired an old film company, although their films are not very good, but because the qualifications are very old, so their distribution channels are very sound, including many big cities in the east. By now, it is no longer a problem for our films to be screened in North America. Jiang Zhiqiang said proudly.

"It's good, you paid for that studio, and it was the right choice. So now if our company distributes its own films, how many screens can we contact? Not only American films, but also movies from Hong Kong. Li Mingbao asked cautiously.

"If it's a Hong Kong movie, it's a movie of Ah Bao, then it depends on our company, and we can contact at least 2,000 screens to screen at the same time, but if it's other Hong Kong movies, it can't reach so much, and at the beginning it's at most about 1,000 yuan." When Jiang Zhiqiang said this, he was a little weak-hearted.

But hearing Jiang Zhiqiang's words, Li Mingbao was very happy: "At the beginning, there were more than 1,000 screens to show movies, which was already quite good. You must know that Zou Wenhuai has been in Hollywood for so long, and he does not have the ability to organize so many screens in theaters by himself. ”

Don't look at the fact that there are now more than 10,000 screens in North America that can show movies, but even Hollywood's local studios have not made a big deal to show more than 10,000 screens at the same time. Although the blockbuster here has a very high start, and the premiere can pull up at least 4,000 screens, but which of those companies is not an old qualification in Hollywood?

It's pretty good that a company like DreamWorks has only been open for so short a time and can have such capabilities. As for why his movies are different from Hong Kong films in the United States, it is because Li Mingbao still has a movie made by himself that occupies the top three at the North American box office, and with such strength, it is naturally different from other Hong Kong filmmakers.

Not to mention Hong Kong filmmakers, even if they are filmmakers in the United States, there are not many who can achieve such treatment as him. You must know that the release of "Home Alone" in Hollywood caused quite a stir, and even for a long time after that, many Americans were calling for Li Mingbao to stay in Hollywood instead of going to Hong Kong.

Even the Hollywood movie giants have a very soft attitude. Completely different from other Chinese or Chinese people. At least Li Ji did not receive such treatment in later generations, and Wu Yusen did not receive such treatment. They are just used as a tool by those Hollywood giants to make films, and if they don't make a good movie, they will step on it immediately, and even if they make a good movie, they will not have a good face for these directors.

The reason why there is such a situation is because Li Mingbao, Li Press and Wu Yusen, although they are also making movies, their identities are very different. Li Mingbao is the boss and has his own funds, even if those Hollywood giants suppress him, Li Mingbao can break through their blockade by relying on his own ability alone.

So those Hollywood giants, in the case of not being able to suppress Li Mingbao, naturally chose to cooperate, anyway, Li Mingbao really wants to shoot a blockbuster in Hollywood, and it is impossible for his dream factory to get the best distribution channel, so in order to make more money, Li Mingbao will not put his movies in DreamWorks and eat alone, but cooperate with other giants.

But Li Press and Wu Yusen, who are just directors, say that they have a little money, they are richer than ordinary people, but compared with real rich people, they are poor, even if those Hollywood giants are squeezed, Wu Yusen and they can't afford to turn over the storm. In this case, Li Mingbao and other Chinese directors or producers have different status in Hollywood.

Even at Li Mingbao's stage, except for pure racists, ordinary people will not make a fuss about skin color. This is why John, the former owner of Twentieth Century Fox, was so friendly with Li Mingbao. Because he knows that with Li Mingbao's financial resources, he can reach a certain class in the United States, and since such a person has a good relationship with him, he doesn't mind being a guide, so that the benefits that can be obtained in the future are not something that some so-called skin color can block. To put it bluntly, the United States is a money society, as long as you have money, others don't care whether your skin is yellow or black, even if it is green, they can happily accept it, as long as everyone can cooperate to make money, there is nothing that cannot be sold, including temperance.

Hearing Li Mingbao use Zou Wenhuai as a metaphor, Jiang Zhiqiang said disdainfully: "Zou Wenhuai is like that, it is difficult to make money in Hollywood, although he also has an international vision, but he is only in contact with Hollywood, and he has to go through intermediaries, and we Dream Factory, there is no comparison at all." After all, our DreamWorks is in the United States and has its own group of audiences, and Zou Wenhuai is just here to make money, and the foundation is different, so the result is naturally different. Not to mention that he can't compare to us in the United States, isn't he also inferior to us in Hong Kong? These old guys should have retired a long time ago, and the times will be ours sooner or later. ”

"When did you have such a big grudge against Zou Wenhuai? How did I not know? Hearing Jiang Zhiqiang's words, Li Mingbao was curious.

"That's all a very early thing, it's not that I have a holiday with Jiahe, but Anle, so I don't need to mention those things. Now I'll tell you about the profit on our side, I believe that what you want to hear most is actually this question. Jiang Zhiqiang said.

"Well, I do care about this thing, and you know that I have been spending a lot of money in Hong Kong recently, and big money is inseparable from funds. Although the money in Hong Kong is still bearable, I have spent a lot of our reserve funds in Hong Kong before, and they are almost bottoming out, so this time I have to draw some funds from DreamWorks, of course, on the premise of not affecting the development of DreamWorks. Li Mingbao said.

"DreamWorks has actually made more than $100,000,000 and $2 million so far, which is after-tax income. However, because this is the United States, the capital is relatively large, and it also needs to pay dividends to the people below, plus it spent $6 million to buy the film company before, so the current flow in the company is more than $77 million.

If you want to withdraw funds, it is best not to exceed 70 million US dollars, although our company only produces small-budget films, but due to the large number of people, there are more new films, there are more than 6 million US dollars in the plan, leaving more than 1 million US dollars as working capital, and it can almost run. When it comes to funding, Jiang Zhiqiang quickly reported a figure to Li Mingbao.

Li Mingbao also knew this number when he was in Hong Kong. After all, although he asked Jiang Zhiqiang to be the general manager in the United States and was the number one, in terms of finance, Li Mingbao also had to call some of his own people to manage it, and if he really wanted to hand over everything to Jiang Zhiqiang, he would not be responsible for himself or Jiang Zhiqiang. The so-called wealth is moving, if there is no supervision, it is inevitable that Jiang Zhiqiang will start.

"So little? Could it be that those companies don't pay back during the Spring Festival? Speaking of which, Li Mingbao himself knew that he had asked a stupid question.

"This is not Hong Kong, this is the United States, there have been Halloween, there have been Christmas, but I have never seen the Yankees like to celebrate the Spring Festival. Although we collect accounts at the end of the year, it is not popular here, either it is calculated according to the quarter, or it is half a year and a year, and there is no collection here during the New Year. Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile.

"Then how much of the company's funds outside the company has not been recovered?" Li Mingbao asked.

"A week ago, I went to count it, because our film and video tapes are selling relatively well, so the funds are growing rapidly, even if we remove taxes, we have more than 40 million US dollars left to recover, this money, at least until the middle of the year, can be fully recovered, the latest income, will go at the end of the month, there are still more than ten days before now." Jiang Zhiqiang said.

Hearing this, Li Mingbao was also quite depressed. Although he knew from the beginning that the video tape market was very hot in the United States, because the number of video recorders here was very large, he still underestimated the scale of this side, so that although the company has a video company and equipment, the scale is still a little small, in order to maximize the benefits, Li Mingbao had to find other factories to OEM.

Although the OEM does not cost much, the output formed by the subsequent OEM is not something that the current dream factory with a fragile sales system can withstand. So on the side of the channel provider, a large amount of money was withheld.
