When Jiang Zhiqiang came to the café, Li Mingbao had already arrived one step ahead of him. Seeing Jiang Zhiqiang walking towards him, Li Mingbao took the initiative to get up and said, "Mr. Jiang, hello, I am really embarrassed to invite you over. ”
"Mr. Li, you're welcome, I'm actually quite curious about your legendary experience, we can be regarded as people in the same circle, when I was still running around for the source of the film, Mr. Li, you will become famous.
To be honest, I actually want to learn from your successful experience, not to mention making so much money, it would be nice to be able to mix well. Of course, this is a joke, if you can achieve the height of Mr. Li by imitation, then there will be a lot more new rich people in Hong Kong recently, how can such a situation happen. "Jiang Zhiqiang is a very talkative person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to mix well abroad.
"Mr. Jiang, don't make fun of me, my success is just taking advantage of the loophole of the sixth uncle, if you really want to talk about ability, there is not much, compared to Mr. Jiang, you have the ability to cooperate with each other abroad and get the film sources of major companies, I think I am inferior." Li Mingbao said.
"Okay, Mr. Li, let's not talk about these boring topics, I believe that a busy person like Mr. Li will not call me over to talk to each other, which is really a waste of time. Let's get to the point now, if there is anything you need me to do, I will definitely help you do it, Mr. Li. ”
"Mr. Jiang is really fast-talking, since you have said so, then I will not go around in circles. Mr. Jiang, you are also a figure in the circle, you should know my recent situation, I wonder if Mr. Jiang has any unique insights on my going to Hollywood? Li Mingbao saw that Jiang Zhiqiang didn't want to go around in circles with him, so he directly talked about business.
Hearing that the reason why Li Mingbao called him over was really about Hollywood, Jiang Zhiqiang was not surprised. After all, he had never had any contact with Li Mingbao before, and even in the movie, Li Mingbao had little contact with them. His ability to make Li Mingbao look down on him is probably only familiar with this one reason in Hollywood.
"To be honest, Mr. Li, you suddenly said that you were going to Hollywood, which had a great impact in the circle. I'm different from others because I spend most of my time abroad, and I don't know much about Hong Kong.
As for Mr. Li, you made such a decision, from a professional point of view, I don't think you did it wrong, but I think you did a wonderful job. Jumping out of the small circle of Hong Kong, maybe Mr. Li, you will gain more. Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile.
"Oh? Mr. Jiang's view is different from that of the vast majority of people in Hong Kong. It seems that I am looking for you, Mr. Jiang, maybe I really found the right person. When Li Mingbao heard Jiang Zhiqiang's words, he was rarely a little surprised.
Li Mingbao was really surprised at this time, not joking. Jiang Zhiqiang's words are different from the attitudes of the vast majority of people in his circle. Even his second brother was against it when he heard that he was going to Hollywood.
But Jiang Zhiqiang, the person he met for the first time, said a different opinion. Not only is it not a loss for Li Mingbao to go to Hollywood, but there will be a big gain. At least now, the people who are convinced of this, except for him Li Mingbao, only Jiang Zhiqiang, who is in front of him, has said such a thing.
"Mr. Li, I don't know if you've found the right person. But one thing I know very well is that Mr. Lee, your film can be successful not only in East Asia, but also in Hollywood. Of course, my basis is only one of your films, Mr. Lee.
In this movie, I saw a very strong Hollywood style. Really, when I first saw this movie, my first reaction was that this movie was shot in Hollywood, but after seeing that the actors, directors, and producers in that movie were all local people in Hong Kong, I realized that there were also people in Hong Kong who had a deep understanding of Hollywood, and it was at that time that I consciously paid attention to you, Mr. Li. ”
"You're talking about "Baby Wisdom and Stars"?" Li Mingbao asked with interest.
"Yes, it's the movie. Since Mr. Li can come to me today, he must know something about me. I won't say much if I say too much, because if you weren't interested in my experience, Mr. Li, you wouldn't have called me out for coffee today. In my experience, this movie will definitely be a success on the Hollywood side. Of course, the premise is to remake this movie and use Hollywood actors to act in this play, and the chances of success will be much greater. Jiang Zhiqiang said.
"I have to say that between me and Mr. Jiang, there is a feeling that a hero has seen something in the same way. I went to Hollywood, and the first film was actually to remake the movie "Baby Wisdom and Stars" into the American version of the movie, I don't know if Mr. Jiang is interested in this matter? ”
"But I heard that Mr. Li, the copyright of your film has been sold to Uncle Shao Liu, will there be some problems when you go to the United States to remake this movie?" Jiang Zhiqiang said.
"It seems that Mr. Jiang, you are very well-informed, indeed, I sold this movie to Uncle Sixth with the copyright of the two movies "Happy Ghost", but when I sold the copyright, I did not sell the copyright in Europe and the United States, that is to say, the money spent by Uncle Sixth was only to buy the Asian copyright of these two films, and Uncle Six couldn't control it in Europe and the United States." Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"To be honest, the movie "Happy Ghost" will not have a big market in Europe and the United States, at least compared to the movie "Baby Zhiduoxing", the probability of success of that movie in Europe and the United States is very low, because the main content of this movie is a little out of touch with Europe and the United States, and it is not easy to resonate." Jiang Zhiqiang continued.
"I also feel this way, so when I won "Happy Ghost", it was just to cover up "Baby Zhiduoxing", and I didn't plan to remake this movie." Li Mingbao explained.
"It turns out that Mr. Li has already made calculations, and it seems that my words did not give Mr. Li too much useful experience." Jiang Zhiqiang said with some self-deprecation.
Although Li Mingbao was in a hurry to meet him, Jiang Zhiqiang did not have more time to prepare. But Jiang Zhiqiang also knows a little bit about Li Mingbao because of Li Mingbao's movies, otherwise he wouldn't have said that before.
Jiang Zhiqiang understood that Li Mingbao must have a purpose in looking for himself. Li Mingbao's going to Hollywood is already a foregone conclusion, and there is basically no possibility of change. But Li Mingbao is not familiar with life over there, so there will be no big problems in life, but if he wants to make a career, it will be more troublesome.
At this time, someone like Jiang Zhiqiang, who is familiar over there, will be Li Mingbao's good helper, even if it is just to give Li Mingbao a start, he can have a good harvest. But Jiang Zhiqiang is not an easily satisfied person, if he just gave Li Mingbao a hand, he would not be as attentive as he is now.
He wants to get the right to make films in Hollywood. As mentioned above, generally the box office of a movie will be divided into three parts, one for theaters, one for film investors, and the other for the film's merchants.
When Li Mingbao was in Hong Kong, because of the relationship between the sixth uncle, he did it himself. But when it comes to Hollywood, Li Mingbao has nothing to do with it, and if he wants to continue to do his own business, it is basically impossible.
And at that time, he Jiang Zhiqiang will have a chance. After all, he has a lot of acquaintances over there, whether it is a theater or a film company, he can speak, if Li Mingbao gives him the rights to make movies made in Hollywood, Jiang Zhiqiang's money is not comparable to the money he gets from doing so little.
That is to say, there is such an idea, so Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't wait to tell Li Mingbao some of his opinions, hoping that Li Mingbao could see his role. But Jiang Zhiqiang didn't expect Li Mingbao to have such thoughts, and his little thing was obviously not enough to meet Li Mingbao's needs, so in the end, he only laughed at himself, and he was somewhat frustrated.
"No, Mr. Jiang, although I have considered your words before. But it doesn't mean that Mr. Jiang, you are worthless in my eyes. If that were the case, then we wouldn't be meeting today.
I do have some understanding of Hollywood, but most of those understandings are just experience on paper, and it is very troublesome to actually put it into practice. But Mr. Jiang, you are different, and your network over there happens to be what I urgently need. That's why I said Mr. Jiang, the cooperation between us is still very necessary. Li Mingbao said.
"Cooperation? Mr. Li, what kind of cooperation do you want? Jiang Zhiqiang asked with some excitement at this time. The reason why he is so active today is not the opportunity to cooperate with Li Mingbao? Now that such opportunities are in front of him, how can he not be excited?
"I found you Mr. Jiang before, but it was because of some information, and I felt that Mr. Jiang's ability was very helpful to my actions in Hollywood. But now that I have talked with you, Mr. Jiang, I feel that there should be a broader basis for cooperation between us.
Therefore, I think there should be two ways of cooperation between us, one is simple cooperation, and the other is that in Hollywood, Mr. Jiang, you follow me directly. Li Mingbao took a sip of coffee and said slowly.
