Jiang Zhiqiang's words basically represent Li Mingbao's heart. Even if it is also a Hollywood giant, no other company can give better terms than Twentieth Century Fox.

Because the power that Twentieth Century Fox is now using is exactly equivalent to the good film they have made. And other companies, as long as they have their own movies to play the Christmas file, can not give such conditions, but Twentieth Century Fox is precisely because it has no such concerns, but can play the best.

And Twentieth Century Fox has a strong condition for doing so, and it also has a strong condition for fighting for the theater chain. It's a giant, and the movie that can be promoted like this is naturally a good movie, and the theater chain has made great concessions, not only fully agreeing to the 20th Century Fox company's share requirements, but also making great concessions on the theater screen, directly reaching 3,500 screens in one step. This was a promise that Justin didn't dare to make, but now it has been achieved lightly, and their company's investment in publicity has paid off before the movie has even started to be released.

In the remaining time, Li Mingbao and Jiang Zhiqiang are no longer worried about the problems of the movie "Home Alone", anyway, now that their company is staring at them, they must be doing much better than Li Mingbao. Since there was no room for meddle in this matter, Li Mingbao began to plan the problems of the American company.

He has been busy with movies before, although the company was established, but it didn't have a good exhibition, the employees in it were only two or three, and there were not even two people in the circle, occupying a large piece of territory, but making those employees bored every day. Li Mingbao didn't have time management before, and Jiang Zhiqiang also didn't have time, now that everyone has time, they naturally have to clean up.

In terms of the company's name, Li Mingbao was lazy and directly called his company's name DreamWorks, which was regarded as robbing Spielberg's company name. This name is easy to remember, and it is meaningful, Li Mingbao can have his current achievements, it is also equivalent to a big dream, the name of DreamWorks, Li Mingbao feels that he is more qualified than Spielberg, and the company will become bigger in the future, and he will directly pull Spielberg over.

Since the company has opened here, the company must produce movies, and there is a good cooperative relationship with Twentieth Century Fox, and Li Mingbao does not have to worry about it at all. has such an advantage, if you don't make good use of it, it will be a great waste, Zou Tycoon has not had such treatment in Hollywood until now, but Li Mingbao has come out on top.

If Li Mingbao will be exhibiting in Hollywood for a long time in the future, then how to shoot movies, there is no need to think much about it, Li Mingbao has movies in his mind that can be filmed. But Li Mingbao's ideal base is Hong Kong, and Hollywood is just a place to earn extra money, and he can't stay here all the time.

Therefore, in terms of investment, it is necessary to solve this problem before he returns to Hong Kong. And the time for him to return to Hong Kong is not far away, at least before the Spring Festival this year, he will arrive in Hong Kong. Although the total box office of the movie "Home Alone" at that time was definitely not out, the potential of this movie can be seen in the general trend. Generally, if you want to know whether the box office is good or not, you can see it within half a month.

And the Spring Festival of '82 is going to be in February, and Li Mingbao has at least a month to watch it in Hollywood, whether the movie is good or not, before he returns to Hong Kong, there will be a result.

Li Mingbao can't be a director of DreamWorks, and Jiang Zhiqiang's specialty is not in this, so if you want to keep making films, you have to have a director who can sit in charge. There are many types of movies in Hollywood, but there are not many types that meet Li Mingbao's requirements.

Not only do you have to make money, but you also have to invest less, and you can also rely on this kind of movie to maintain the work of DreamWorks, and you also need to give blood transfusions to Hong Kong. After so many requests, there are really not many choices, small-budget comedies, "Home Alone" is a typical example, but Li Mingbao himself knows that he can't keep it, so he doesn't consider it at all.

After choosing, Li Mingbao finally chose a small cost, but there are marketable horror films in the United States, although in the United States, most of the horror and thriller movies are classified in the R level, but I have to say that this market is very large.

And for the division of levels, Li Mingbao also has an advantage, that is, all his current movies are handed over to Twentieth Century Fox. As one of the members of the rating committee, as long as Li Mingbao's movies are not too alternative, Twentieth Century Fox will definitely help, at least there will be no NC-17 level movies.

Of course, Li Mingbao doesn't have to think about this problem now, because this level has not yet been divided by the United States, and there are only PG level, PG-13 level, and R level. As for the harmless G-level movies of humans and animals, Li Mingbao never thought that his movies would appear at this level.

Low-budget horror films, although it is difficult for a single film to sell at a price, it is basically impossible to break the box office of 100 million. However, due to the small cost, millions of dollars can make money, tens of millions of dollars is very good, compared to working hard in Hong Kong to make so much money, making low-budget horror movies here is really a good way to make money.

Although it will not become rich overnight, it can be a trickle of water. For maintaining the work of DreamWorks, this type of movie is the most suitable, and when the time comes, movies like "Ghost Street" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" will be produced by DreamWorks.

Like these movies, the investment is at most two or three million dollars, but the harvest is at least tens of millions of dollars, take "Ghost Street" as an example, the investment is only 1.8 million US dollars, but the box office income can be 20 million US dollars. In addition to the share of the theater chain and the industry, Li Mingbao got at least 8 million US dollars in his hand, and in addition to the cost of 1.8 million yuan, Li Mingbao can make a net profit of 6.2 million US dollars, which is converted into Hong Kong dollars, close to 50 million.

The most important thing is that even if a horror film like this is not too good at the box office, it can definitely make a lot of money selling videotapes. A low-budget horror film seems to make little money, but you must know that all the money earned is US dollars, and if it is converted into Hong Kong dollars, it is definitely not a small amount.

Doing this for a few years, which not only maintains the life of DreamWorks, but also subsidizes the family, is simply the most suitable subject. Originally, I didn't think much about horror movies, but under Li Mingbao's explanation, the theory that a thin stream of water is the king finally convinced Jiang Zhiqiang.

Now that he has a goal, Jiang Zhiqiang began to collect directors of horror and thrillers on the Hollywood side. Because this type of film is considered a niche in the North American market, it is easy for those large companies to lose money when making such a movie, so the practitioners of this genre are not doing very well. Jiang Zhiqiang opened a little price code, and many people added it to DreamWorks, among them, there is Weiss that Li Mingbao especially wants Jiang Zhiqiang to pay attention to? Craven, the father of horror in Hollywood, is the director of the "Ghost Street" series.

Digging this guy didn't take much effort, Jiang Zhiqiang just told him that there would be no shortage of investment in the future, and there was Twentieth Century Fox to do it, and he also had box office dividends, just these things, the current Weiss? Craven was already very satisfied, and the most satisfying thing was that this inconspicuous small company could actually let Twentieth Century Fox do it, which was what he valued the most. He had never expected such treatment before, but now he has such preferential treatment just by joining the company, which is very satisfying for a person who makes horror movies.

Li Mingbao's work at their dream factory is not slow, and the action of Twentieth Century Fox is also very fast. Since vigorously promoting the movie "Home Alone", Twentieth Century Fox has basically put all the chips of the Christmas file on this movie.

And time flies. When Li Mingbao and the others were still signing contracts with the new talents who had arrived in the company, "Home Alone" had already begun to be released in cinemas.

Because the publicity is very well done, the daily attendance rate is very high, 3,500 screens, and the average attendance rate can reach 70%, which is definitely a very remarkable number.

You must know that the Christmas file is not only promoted by Twentieth Century Fox, but also by other Hollywood giants. The propaganda of "Home Alone" is of course a wave of the strength of Twentieth Century Fox, but it is impossible to say that it is unbeatable, and even if other companies are for the purpose of suppression, it is impossible for Twentieth Century Fox to occupy all the advantages.

With an average attendance rate of 70 percent, Justin felt ready to celebrate when that number returned to the company.

And this movie, which has been promoted by Twentieth Century Fox for a long time, did not disappoint fans. It is a day of celebration, and watching such a warm and funny film is definitely a treat for the majority of North American moviegoers.

The next day, major newspapers in the United States reported the movie "Home Alone" in many places. The singing occupies the vast majority of the page, no way, this movie is too mainstream, you can hardly see the shortcomings of this movie from anywhere, although it definitely doesn't score much in literature and art.

But for this festival, this movie is the most appropriate. Even those who hacked the movie did not look for problems from the movie itself, but dug out the situation from behind the scenes. Including the director of the movie is not a famous person, and the producer of the film is not like an American, behind the scenes, there is no one in the Twentieth Century Fox company, so they feel that there is an inside story.
