If you want to say that the sudden rise of DreamWorks, not to mention that Li Mingbao, a half-layman, is surprised, even Jiang Zhiqiang, who takes care of DreamWorks, is also surprised. www.biquge.info Of course, there is also John unexpectedly, which is why John wants the European distribution rights of DreamWorks Films, because he was not optimistic about Li Mingbao's dream factory before, but now that DreamWorks is famous in Hollywood, he also wants to share the profits and have a win-win situation with Li Mingbao.

But Li Mingbao and the others didn't understand why DreamWorks had an unexpected situation, and John didn't understand either. But now after hearing the words of Schwarzenegger, a bystander, Li Mingbao vaguely understands why the DreamWorks movie suddenly became popular.

The so-called bystanders are clear, and the authorities are confused. is talking about Li Mingbao's treatment of DreamWorks, Schwarzenegger understands that the reason why DreamWorks is developing so rapidly is because of the quality of the movie, but Li Mingbao and them did not think about it.

When Schwarzenegger pierced the window paper, Li Mingbao understood. The key is the quality of the film. Before DreamWorks, there was not no market for horror films, but the horror films produced by those film companies were quite perfunctory, and even the vampire movies in Europe, although the box office results were very good, they didn't really pay attention to it, just making money, so the box office of the latter kind of movies was tepid.

Similarly, there are horror films in Hollywood, but the market for horror films is not very large, and the main consumer groups are in the countryside or on videotapes. Why are the sales of horror film tapes more hot than those of movie theaters?

If you explain it in terms of quality, it is easy to explain and understand, compared with the big screen of the movie theater, many subtle things will be displayed, and the videotape does not have that problem, with the current size of the movie, it is difficult to see some subtle things, so horror movies look more terrifying on TV than on the movie screen, and the subtle horse's feet cannot be seen at all, which has also developed the mainstream market of horror films in the European and American markets is on the videotape, not the movie.

But now after the emergence of DreamWorks, Li Mingbao uses horror films as a stepping stone for his company in Hollywood, and the funds are relatively abundant, leaving enough funds for horror film directors to settle the situation. In this way, the quality of the films produced by DreamWorks is in stark contrast to the perfunctory works of other companies.

For those who like horror movies, such a movie with quality assurance is easier to be impressed than those that are perfunctory. This is the real reason why DreamWorks has not been open for a long time, but it occupies an important position in the market share, coupled with the limitations of videotapes, it is easier for current moviegoers to be satisfied, and it has made DreamWorks' performance improve by leaps and bounds.

In the final analysis, Li Mingbao's digging of good directors is an important factor in the rise of DreamWorks, but the abundance of DreamWorks film funds is the real reason for the rapid development of DreamWorks films, and the two can be said to be indispensable.

After understanding this, Li Mingbao is also seriously thinking about the future path of DreamWorks. Now that DreamWorks has abundant film funds, the behavior of ensuring the quality of the film must be implemented, and in this regard, it is also necessary to say hello to Mary, I would rather have more capital budget than less capital budget, although this is inevitable and may be a bit wasteful, but abundant funds represent the quality of the movie, since there is such a good reputation, Li Mingbao naturally can't let the reputation be smashed in his own hands.

And what comes out of the mouth of a person like Schwarzenegger also makes Li Mingbao have a deeper idea about the Hollywood market. Although he has already said that he will shoot a horror blockbuster at DreamWorks before, and recently he is writing the script for "Resident Evil", but he planned to put it for a while after writing the script, and he didn't have to be busy making the movie immediately.

The reason why I am not ready to shoot this movie right away is that one is the investment problem, the movie "Resident Evil" is a real big scene, which is fundamentally different from the current horror films, and it is difficult to grasp the market reaction if this movie is made now.

Another is that this movie needs to use a lot of computer stunts, in this era when cheap Apple computers are still used, it is very difficult to do the stunts of Resident Evil at that time, the price is also quite high, and it is difficult to balance between investment and income, even if you start to make technical reserves now, Li Mingbao feels that it will take at least a few years to really move those special effects to the movie.

So although he wrote the script, he didn't want to shoot it right away, and even in his mind, the earliest time for the film to start filming would not be in the 80s, at least in the early 90s, so that the market could be determined. Now I write the script, but to determine my original status.

When it comes to really shooting a horror blockbuster, as DreamWorks' first blockbuster, "Resident Evil" is not a very good choice. And among the scripts that Li Mingbao began to write, "Resident Evil" is not the only one, there are other scripts, such as "Curse" and "Midnight Bell".

To say that the achievements of the Japanese in movies, in addition to the most famous AV, horror movies are also their forte, especially the movie "Curse", after filming in Japan, it was introduced to the United States to shoot an American version of "Curse", and it still achieved brilliant achievements, with a box office of more than 100 million US dollars, which is enough to make people blush.

Li Mingbao has always believed in take-it-or-leave-it doctrine for movies, so these two classics represent horror works, and Li Mingbao wants to take them down no matter what. And these two movies, compared to movies like "Resident Evil", are actually more like traditional horror films, and movies like "Resident Evil" should actually be classified as thriller movies or science fiction movies, not horror movies in the traditional sense.

The most important thing is that Li Mingbao now wants to shoot a movie like "Resident Evil", but he can't cross the threshold of cost and special effects, and it is difficult to make such a movie in a short period of time. But movies like "The Grudge" and "Midnight Bell", from a technical point of view, have no problem shooting now, even in terms of funding, it will not be too much, at most it will be a little higher than the cost of ordinary horror films on DreamWorks' side, and it will not be too outstanding.

And these two movies are the kind that can shoot sequels, and it is not difficult to build a series of movies like DreamWorks. So these two movies will be filmed in eight or three years, and they will not run into trouble. The United States and Europe are big markets, and Japan is even bigger, and Li Mingbao knows how successful these two films have been in Japan.

Even if the Japanese are not satisfied, Li Mingbao can also make a special trip to Japan to shoot a Japanese version of "Curse" and "Midnight Bell" for the Japanese, just like "Home Alone", for the sake of the box office, Li Mingbao will definitely not want to be disciplined.

I believe that as long as these two movies are released in the United States, it will be even more difficult for other companies to challenge DreamWorks' position in the Hollywood horror market.

From Schwarzenegger's words, Li Mingbao extended to the quality of the company's films, and then thought about the company's film scripts, as well as what conditions are needed for various types of films. Although the speed of the brain can be faster than the speed of light, Li Mingbao has thought too much during this time.

In the real world, after Schwarzenegger said those words, Li Mingbao, an investor, began to be in a daze, and he didn't come back for a long time. Schwarzenegger is not the kind of person who has no brains, otherwise he can be on the political stage as a movie actor in the future, and achieve such good results, on the side of the United States, there is only one person who has better political achievements than him, and that is Reagan, the current president of the United States, who proposed that Star Wars directly bring down the Soviet Union.

So Schwarzenegger can have such an achievement, as the second political character among the actors, he is a real big man with great wisdom. Seeing that Li Mingbao was deep in thought, he understood that Li Mingbao had new ideas in the conversation with him. Although for a while, Schwarzenegger didn't know what Li Mingbao's new idea was.

But it is obvious that Li Mingbao's thoughts only appeared after he said what he just said, so that no matter whether it is good or bad, he Schwarzenegger has left a deep impression on Li Mingbao's heart, which is definitely good news for Schwarzenegger.

So Schwarzenegger did not rashly interrupt Li Mingbao's thoughts, but waited silently for Li Mingbao to come back to his senses. He knew what it took to win the favor of others, which was one of the reasons why Schwarzenegger ended up being amazing.

It took a long time for Li Mingbao to come back to his senses and have a rough idea of his thoughts. I saw that Schwarzenegger, who was chatting happily with him, was now drinking water boringly.

Li Mingbao said a little embarrassed: "I'm sorry, Mr. Schwarzenegger, what you said just now touched me a lot, so I was a little distracted, I'm sorry." Hopefully it won't embarrass you. ”

"It doesn't matter, it's a normal thing, occasionally a sentence can give people some special touches, and then make amazing careers because of these touches, such things are not uncommon in the United States, although I haven't encountered it before, but now I see Mr. Li, you just state, maybe it's also my honor. After all, not everyone can be touched by hearing someone else's words. Schwarzenegger smiled softly.

Hearing that Schwarzenegger didn't mind, Li Mingbao breathed a sigh of relief, after all, he was originally chatting with Schwarzenegger for the sake of a relationship, but he lost his mind in the chat just now, which obviously caused some not very good effects.

But I didn't expect Schwarzenegger to excuse himself, and he also said something very reasonable, which made him feel quite happy and avoided some unnecessary embarrassment. Such a little expert in saving the scene is worthy of the role of being a governor in the future. Wisdom is indeed not ordinary...
