Li Mingbao didn't say what was good about this movie, because saying these words had no effect at all in Uncle Shao Liu's place. As the boss of the Shaw Brothers, the sixth uncle is definitely more knowledgeable than Li Mingbao, what kind of good script has he not seen?

Instead of bothering on the script of the movie, it is better to directly let Uncle Six understand Li Mingbao's determination for this movie. What is the determination of the movie, a thousand people have a thousand opinions, but in the face of Uncle Six, the best way is to let Uncle Six understand how much Li Mingbao is ready to invest in this movie.

The sixth uncle's eyes were looking at the money, and how much Li Mingbao invested, he naturally understood how much Li Mingbao was determined. The 5 million Hong Kong dollar movie can be said to be not worth mentioning in Hollywood, but if it is put in Hong Kong, it is definitely the most generous of the large.

At least Uncle Sixth has never made such a costly movie, and Zou Wenhuai has never made such a costly movie in Hong Kong. From this point of view, we can see Li Mingbao's determination.

Although the Hong Kong dollar is called Hong Kong paper, it means that the Hong Kong dollar is not valuable. But no matter how worthless the Hong Kong dollar is, if the number is put at the level of five million, he is also worth the same money. In these days, as long as it is not a particularly luxurious villa, like an ordinary villa, you can buy a very good set for 5 million Hong Kong dollars, and you can buy a dozen good cars.

With so much money invested in a movie, Uncle Six is not worried about Li Mingbao's determination at all, but is thinking about how much will be left after the movie is filmed. Uncle Six doesn't believe that a movie that doesn't need special effects can cost as much as 5 million Hong Kong dollars, how much does it cost to make movies in Hong Kong these days?

According to the manufacturing capacity of Shaw Brothers, the average movie can be shot very well for 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is a big production, 1 million Hong Kong dollars, which is definitely a big scene in a big scene, which requires horses and people to pile up, and it is not a movie, but a TV series.

With Uncle Liu's ability to control the cost, I can't think of how a movie can cost five million Hong Kong dollars, so much money, for a movie, it is absolutely astronomical. Judging from Li Mingbao's big strokes, you can also see Li Mingbao's determination. Although Li Mingbao is rich, it is impossible to use five million Hong Kong dollars to spend money if he is rich, and the sixth uncle is not so extravagant, let alone Li Mingbao.

So when he heard Li Mingbao's answer, the sixth uncle said directly: "Li Sheng is really generous, since Li Shengdu is so determined, then the Shaw Brothers theater will also do what Li Sheng wants." ”

"With your words, Uncle Six, I didn't come in vain today. I can't grasp the specific time of the release yet, it depends on the filming progress of the movie, fortunately, my ideal release time is in June and July, such a long time, this movie will definitely be filmed. When the time comes, this movie will be released in multiple theaters at the same time, and no one will take advantage of anyone, what do you think, Uncle Six? Hearing the sixth uncle's promise, Li Mingbao completed the task, so he joked.

"Released at the same time? It's so good, just like Li Sheng said, no one takes advantage of anyone. The sixth uncle nodded in agreement.

The movie was released at the same time, not just to build momentum, but for the interests of these theaters. With the release of such a big-budget movie, it will definitely cause a sensation, and if any theater screens this movie early, even if it is just one day, it will have unexpected effects. So for the sake of fairness, it is responsible for everyone to release this movie at the same time, otherwise, in order to compete for priority, in the end, chickens and eggs will definitely be beaten.

The matter on the sixth uncle's side is finalized, and Li Mingbao's second target is Jiahe. Regarding Jiahe's side, Li Mingbao has no worries, because they are now in a state of cooperation, Li Mingbao wants to screen a movie, for Jiahe, it is not an unbearable thing, and the way the movie box office is shared, Li Mingbao is also very particular, ready to be the same as Shaw Brothers, they are all four or six open, Li Mingbao six, and the others, whether it is Shaw Brothers, or Golden Harvest, or Golden Princess and other small movie theaters, are all divided into forty percent.

Since it is to be fair, no matter which aspect, Li Mingbao needs real fairness, in the past, those small movie theaters and scattered small theaters, Li Mingbao gave them the conditions to open 37, that is, Li Mingbao took 70%, and those small theaters took 30%.

It's not that Li Mingbao is very strong against small movie theaters, but the usual method used by those small movie theaters is to evade tickets, if Li Mingbao follows the practice of large theaters, four or six open, then Li Mingbao finally gets the money at most is equivalent to five or five open, in order not to lose his own interests, Li Mingbao made a three-seven open, and in the end, even if it is ticket evasion, then you can also get sixty percent.

And now, Li Mingbao doesn't want to play these small tricks, because he is more capable than before, and as long as the owners of those small movie theaters are not stupid, they will never joke about Li Mingbao on this issue. If they dare to evade tickets, then the punishment will not only be Li Mingbao alone, but on behalf of the three major theater chains in Hong Kong and the film companies behind them, so that no one dares to be stupid.

With such confidence, Li Mingbao will dare to give those movie theaters a share of four or six, and the money in hand will not be less, and he will not be left behind as rich as Li Mingbao and bullying the reputation of small movie theaters.

The day after visiting the sixth uncle, Li Mingbao came to Jiahe, met Zou Wenhuai, and then continued to tell Zou Wenhuai his thoughts. After Zou Wenhuai heard Li Mingbao's plan, he reacted the same as Uncle Shao.

There is no way, the method consciously used by the bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry ten years later is still novel ten years ago today. The full line of joint screenings has great benefits for a movie, even people who don't know how many can see clearly. Not to mention people like Uncle Shao Liu and Zou Wenhuai, who stand at the top of Hong Kong.

As for Zou Wenhuai, he feels the same as the sixth uncle, and this kind of approach is only suitable for Li Mingbao now. If he and Uncle Six are replaced, they won't be able to play this set. Unless everyone can really see the profit in it, and everyone can't resist this profit.

Otherwise, only Li Mingbao can use this kind of practice, and even if other people want to use it, they don't have the ability to do it. To put it bluntly, these guys respect their own identities, and no one wants to ask anyone, especially Uncle Shao Liu and Zou Wenhuai, you can't let Uncle Shao Liu ask Zou Wenhuai, and it is impossible for Zou Wenhuai to ask Uncle Shao Liu. And although Boss Lei has no enmity with these two parties now, Boss Lei has made up his mind to dominate and learn from Uncle Shao, so he will naturally not ask for someone who is destined to become a defeated general in his eyes.

There is only Li Mingbao, although his strength is strong, but because he is young, he is willing to pull down his face, coupled with some complex and subtle relationships, and in the end, he is the only one who eats fat.

Zou Wenhuai's side, Li Mingbao's request was quickly met, and it was not in vain that Li Mingbao and Golden Harvest were in the honeymoon period, and Golden Harvest had no worries about such cooperation, and even the Shaw Brothers were also screened, and Golden Harvest didn't say anything here. What the sixth uncle has to say, he Zou Wenhuai is still clear.

Therefore, Zou Wenhuai deliberately wants to sell Li Mingbao's favor, as long as Li Mingbao speaks, no matter which time period, Jiahe will be satisfied. Of course, this promise has nothing to lose for Golden Harvest.

Although Golden Harvest has been busy with Chen Long's new movie "Plan A" recently, the filming time of this movie does not take much effort, and the shooting progress is definitely much faster than Li Mingbao's "The True Color of Heroes".

In addition, Golden Harvest does not have the concept of picking a file at this time, although Li Mingbao has taken advantage twice before, but the issue of schedule has not yet been paid attention to by these bigwigs, and even Zou Wenhuai, a person who often mixes in Hollywood, has no clear concept of whether Hong Kong will form a schedule like Hollywood.

As long as these two movies don't come together, then compared with other movies and this movie, Golden Harvest will naturally look towards Li Mingbao's movie. After all, this movie is clear that it will make a lot of money, although other Golden Harvest movies are also their own children, but their own children don't make as much money as outsiders, so Golden Harvest will not let go of the money, but worry about their children's feelings.

Finalized on Jiahe's side, Li Mingbao's last stop was the Golden Princess. For Boss Lei, Li Mingbao didn't give too many hints to the information in his mind, after all, this guy retired too early, he retired before he arrived in the nineties, and there is too little information about him.

But Li Mingbao knew that Boss Lei was a very ambitious person, and he was also very willing to spend money, even if he was not as strong as Uncle Shao Liu, he wanted to be powerful. He never cared about joint ventures with others, but every joint venture to the end, it was always Boss Lei who won, so to speak, Boss Lei is a guy who has a strong desire to control and is good at capital operation.

Such a person is a headache. Fortunately, Li Mingbao's capital operation ability is actually not bad, compared with the joint vertical and horizontal of those companies in later generations, the behavior of these bosses in Hong Kong, especially the Hong Kong-funded bosses, in Li Mingbao's view, is the level of primary school students, compared with those British-funded bosses, it is still worse.

And now Li Mingbao does not want to cooperate with Boss Lei in business, but in film screening, which does not involve the company's equity, so it is easier to talk about it driven by interests.

The process of discussing with Boss Lei was quite pleasant, at this time, Boss Lei was no longer as greedy as Li Mingbao when he first met, and he wanted to control everything in his own hands, coupled with Li Mingbao's suitable interests, Boss Lei naturally would not refuse this kind cooperation. So in the end, Li Mingbao negotiated the whole line.
