Chapter 647: Pathfinder Stone

"It seems that their confidence is even higher than that of me as an investor. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info don't know if the movie they made will be as good as this movie. After all, this is a new genre, and there are not many directors who can handle this movie well. It may even be that apart from George Lucas and Cameron, there are no other directors in the United States who are good at this genre of cinema right now. It's not easy for them to make a good film.

It is very likely that the movie will be made in the end, but the effect is not satisfactory, just like our sixth uncle in Hong Kong, he once saw that Star Wars was very profitable, so he immediately made a movie of the same type, known as Star Wars in Hong Kong, but in the end, he didn't even recover the capital, let alone make money. Li Mingbao jokingly said that the movie that Uncle Sixth asked someone to make has now become a big joke in Hong Kong. Even because of Uncle Six's rash move, there are people trying any type of movie in the Hong Kong film industry, but it is precisely this kind of science fiction movie, and no boss of any film company is willing to invest.

Not to mention now, thirty years later, Hong Kong's science fiction movies, at most, only Ni Kuang's soft science fiction movies have been filmed, but the effect is still not very good, resulting in this becoming a weakness of Hong Kong films. So don't look at other people's money, it's very happy, but put it on yourself, then you may not be able to continue to make money. This type of movie, even if it is in the United States, really became popular, it was two thousand years later, at that time, people on Wall Street and Hollywood were willing to spend money, and film technology has also made great progress, which made this type of film begin to glow with new vitality.

It's not because this movie is really so classic that it's unforgettable, it's really because the production of this movie is a miracle, the debut film made by a rookie director is still very level, and Cameron is a white man, which makes those people in the upper class interested in hype, if a black director or a director of other colors makes such a movie, then even if it is successful, the influence will not be so great. This is the reality on the side of the United States, if you want to be truly successful, then you must have all kinds of opportunities, and come up with things that others can't refuse at all, so that you can really succeed.

First of all, the place where he made money was the money he made in the horror film market, which Hollywood did not pay much attention to, and secondly, he had a relationship with the Twentieth Century Fox Company at the beginning, and opened the door of this large company with his own interests, which gave him a good foundation for mixing well in the United States, and then Li Mingbao continued to be a money-free boy, which gave him his current foundation, which directly allowed him to gain the recognition of the local consortium. Without this, it would be impossible for him to make money here.

Zou Wenhuai is a model of failure, when he brought Chen Long to the United States, he was very bold and said that he would throw 60 million US dollars to Hollywood and come out as an international superstar, but what was the result? The money was thrown out, but the effect was not so ideal, although he didn't lose much in the end, and even made a little profit, but Chen Long's popularity in Hollywood this year is really not very high, otherwise he wouldn't be so angry that he returned to Hong Kong to make a movie, it's not that he can't survive, why do you think Chen Long wants to go back?

Regarding Li Mingbao's words, John said disapprehantly: "If this market can really make a lot of money, then Hollywood can always find enough people to participate in this type of film production." On the Hollywood side, there is basically no shortage of anything, especially in film, there are too many talents, absorbing industry talents from all over North America and Europe, and the potential of Hollywood to explode, even those of us who are bosses don't know what kind of level it will reach, so you must not underestimate the people here. With enough benefits, what can't they do?

Of course, that has to be in the case of interests, and now, your movie will become their touchstone, if the effect is good, then the people behind will definitely flock to it, if the effect is not good, or they can't achieve their mental goals, then this type of movie, it still needs to wait and develop, they definitely have enough patience to wait for good news. Even to a certain extent, the reason why the release and promotion of your movie will go so smoothly is due to their hands.

After all, the Christmas schedule is very tight, and everyone is ready to make a good amount of money in this schedule, and the competition is quite fierce. But when your movie was released, there were no too fierce movies before and after, plus the number of films scheduled was quite good, there were more than 2,000 screens in the premiere, and if you changed to other movies, if you want to achieve the same effect, the price you pay is definitely more than the price you pay. ”

Hearing John say this, Li Mingbao suddenly remembered that the promotion and release of the Terminator movie did seem to be a little too smooth. Before, Li Mingbao thought that it was because of the recent good performance of DreamWorks and the relationship with Twentieth Century Fox that he was able to get such preferential treatment, but now when he heard John say this, Li Mingbao naturally knew that it would not be so simple if it went smoothly. This is someone who uses him as a way-finding stone, gives him some benefits, and then looks at whether there is a market for this type of movie.

For such a thing, Li Mingbao really couldn't laugh or cry. It seems that when the movie Terminator of the previous life was released, there was no such preferential treatment, how did he get here, but he had so many benefits? He didn't believe that when the Terminator of the previous life was released, the bosses of those film companies couldn't see the benefits of such a movie, but why didn't the Terminator of the previous life get such treatment? You must know that the box office of the Terminator in its previous life is actually not very ideal, and the global box office has not exceeded 100 million, although it has also made a lot of money, but after all, there is no way to compare with those popular movies, and a good reputation does not mean a good box office. It's like some good films that are called tear-jerking in the film critics world, and in the end they pounce like dogs at the box office, there are too many such examples.

Li Mingbao himself definitely doesn't know why he receives such preferential treatment, but John, who is on the side, knows quite well why those giant companies in Hollywood treat Li Mingbao so preferentially. It's not that they want to gain Li Mingbao's favor, for them, Li Mingbao is still a small role, although his strength is quite good, but it won't make them kneel and lick.

The reason for this situation is entirely because Li Mingbao's achievements in the film genre are quite rich, which makes people have to pay attention to it. When Li Mingbao came to the United States, he made a comedy, and he was in charge of the home. This movie has brought Li Mingbao countless praises, and at the same time, it has also brought him countless money.... Ticket.

People like Li Mingbao who can become popular in Hollywood are not rare, but they are not uncommon, and every year or two, there will always be one or two foreigners who will pop up like this. The difference is that you earn more and less, so it doesn't deserve the attention of many people. It is not so easy for the lucky ones to continue to keep their luck.

But Li Mingbao has gained so much capital in comedies, but he immediately began to enter a new field, the horror film industry. This industry has never been taken much seriously in Hollywood, the variety is too niche, and it can't be sold for much on the screen, and only in the video tape market, there is still a certain profit. In such a field, a newcomer breaks in, and he is completely looking for death.

But Li Mingbao is an alternative, not only did he not play himself to death in this field, on the contrary, he has achieved unprecedented success in this field, so far. Although the horror movie genre is still a niche type of movie, the profits in it have been developed by Li Mingbao a lot, not only DreamWorks makes money, but even those giant companies also make a lot of money in this type of movie.

Is it luck once, or luck twice? For people like Li Mingbao who have invested many times and have not failed, if people on the Hollywood side don't pay attention to it, it will be really. Anyone who can make money and can make money, people here in Hollywood, don't ignore them, even if this person is a or a yellow-skinned person, they will value them just as much. They look down on people of color, but that doesn't mean they look down on Franklin. With Franklin's presence, even if it's a deal with the devil, it doesn't matter to them.

This is the quality that a real American high society must have, and those top existences on the Hollywood side naturally belong to this class. So when Li Mingbao started the development of new types of movies again, everyone naturally began to pay attention. Before Li Mingbao made a fortune for the first time, they couldn't get any benefits, and the second time they got rich, they ate a little leftovers, and Li Mingbao made a lot of money. Something like this is definitely quite a bad thing for those arrogant white people.

And now, Li Mingbao is obviously going to start entering the third film genre, as long as they are not stupid and don't get along with their own money, of course, they have to let this type of movie completely glow with his brilliance, and only in this way can they accurately judge whether this type of movie is a gold mine, is it like the two fields that Li Mingbao entered before, which is ignored by everyone?

It is for this reason that Li Mingbao's movie has gone too smoothly in both publicity and release. It's not because those local American consortia want to sell Li Mingbao well, but because they use Li Mingbao as a stepping stone, if the effect of this type of movie is really so good, then they will definitely not hesitate to quickly occupy this new field, and they will not give Li Mingbao the time to accumulate at all. Even John had this in mind. It's just that he and Li Mingbao are still partners, so I have to mention Li Mingbao somewhat, Li Mingbao can understand, that's naturally a good thing, if he can't understand, John won't continue to talk more.
