Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoWhen I was in the mainland, I made up my mind, otherwise, I wouldn't have invested more than a billion dollars in the mainland to get the film and television city out. If I didn't have such determination, John, you think I would invest more than a billion yuan, so much money, no matter where it is put in, it is a huge amount of money, just making movies, with my ability, it is enough for me to multiply this money several times in a short period of time.

So in the next few years, I will gradually fade out of the film industry and focus on the film service industry. Compared with the fierce competition in the film industry, at least now there are not many big bosses who really want to do such a service industry, so I can't lose money by doing this. If you really start to scale, then the profit may not be much worse than making a movie. After all, this business is an industry with a big investment, and without a big investment, it will be difficult for you to do this industry, and now I happen to have such capital, plus there are no additional competitors, I think this should be quite good. Li Mingbao said very realistically.

When he wanted to do the service industry, he had this idea. The film service industry is actually a sunrise industry, although this service industry is to a certain extent, it is to watch the development of the film industry, if the film industry declines, then the service industry will definitely decline, so to a certain extent, the initiative in this industry is not in the industry itself, but attached to the film industry.

It is for this reason that people who have the strength to do this industry are not very interested in this industry, and instead of doing the service industry, they should do it directly in the film industry, which is more likely to make money. And some people who don't have the strength want to do this industry, but the cost of entering the industry is something they can't solve. To put it simply, people with strength can't look down on it, and they don't have strength when they look at it. And Li Mingbao happens to be such a heresy.

Others don't know what the prospects for the development of the film industry are, but for Li Mingbao, it is not difficult to judge, thinking about the oil and water in the film industry in later generations, Li Mingbao understands very well that the development of this industry is actually not much inferior to those financial industries. Even from the perspective of stability, the stability of the film industry is more stable than that of the financial industry.

The financial industry also often encounters ebb and flow, troubles such as financial crises, and political influences, and quite a few things that can disrupt the stability of the industry. But the film industry, since the rise of this industry, has basically not encountered too many troubles, whether it is capital troubles, war troubles, or political troubles, for the impact of this industry, relatively little.

Even major events such as World War I and World War II were affected by many industries, but at that time, the film industry was developing quite rapidly, not to mention being affected, but because of the war, it was carried forward to a certain extent. So in terms of stability, the stability of the entertainment industry is quite reliable.

In such a situation, others are not optimistic about the film service industry, how can Li Mingbao, as a person who has come over, not be optimistic? Now that there is no competition, coupled with the backing of the mainland market, Li Mingbao has solved a big problem congenitally. It's better to make a profit without losing money than to compete with others, right?

John didn't know about Li Mingbao's investment in the mainland, but before John, he only thought that Li Mingbao's investment in the mainland was a normal investment, and it had little to do with other things. But now that Li Mingbao is saying this, how can John not know that Li Mingbao's investment is simply choosing a path for his future, movies or TV shows are no longer Li Mingbao's core industry, and this film service industry is the core of Li Mingbao's development in the future.

And a core business like this, unless Li Mingbao chooses to change careers, otherwise, others will not be able to affect his judgment at all, and even if he is John, it is impossible for Li Mingbao to change his attitude.

After understanding this, John was more or less sorry for Li Mingbao's choice. After all, what is the prospect of the film service industry, no one can say clearly now, especially for a big investment like Li Mingbao, there is no precedent before, even if it is a company like Disney that has done well in the surrounding industry, their core business is actually not in such a service industry, so there is no reference standard at all.

The future is confused, and this is John's fixed word for the film service industry. And Li Mingbao's ability in TV and movies, in John's opinion, is easy to judge, although John does not want to admit Li Mingbao's ability in these industries, but the fact is that Li Mingbao's ability in these industries, even in Hollywood, few people can compare with him. Maybe some people have more exaggerated ability than Li Mingbao in a single project, but in terms of comprehensive ability, at least John doesn't know who will have better comprehensive ability than Li Mingbao.

Such a guy with a bright future, but now he wants to do a rather alternative industry, how can John not be a pity? After all, if Li Mingbao does more things about movies and TV in the future, he can also take advantage of it, but what kind of film and television city Li Mingbao goes to, John can take advantage of too much. From the perspective of John's core interests, he absolutely does not want Li Mingbao to do other industries, even if this industry is closely related to the film industry, it does not meet his interest standards.

So in general, such a person, John will pressure him to continue to do things for himself. But it's a pity that such oppression has little effect on Li Mingbao. Although Li Mingbao's interests in Hollywood and Twentieth Century Fox are quite closely linked, to a certain extent, it can also be said that he is attached to the wing of Twentieth Century Fox. But Li Mingbao's Dream Factory is not quite the same as some other companies that eat with Twentieth Century Fox, first of all, Li Mingbao, the boss, although he cooperates well with Twentieth Century Fox, but if John wants to oppress Li Mingbao, then Li Mingbao can also change companies to cooperate, after all, with the popularity of DreamWorks, as well as Li Mingbao's own strength, any giant company, as long as it is not stupid, will not refuse such cooperation, in short, DreamWorks' degree of freedom is relatively large, They could have lived well without Twentieth Century Fox.

Secondly, Li Mingbao's own capital is also quite abundant, especially in capital, John really has a conflict of interest with him, John can not guarantee that the capital in his hand can perfectly suppress Li Mingbao, not to mention the same end, but it is also very likely to suffer heavy losses. Especially now that the DreamWorks TV program production company is becoming more and more dazzling, and even without Li Mingbao doing it himself, those guys who smell the fishy smell will unite to destroy him John first, and then divide the benefits.

Therefore, in dealing with a question like Li Mingbao, John will at most affect Li Mingbao's judgment, and it will still be soft, if it is hard, then the result will definitely not be what John wants to see.

After thinking about it for a long time, John didn't think of any way to make Li Mingbao change his mind. So I had to sigh and say: "So, your industrial transformation is irreversible?" ”

"That's basically it. After all, with my current conditions, I must be quite cautious about investing in such a huge matter. It's not a good thing to decide at a glance, I'm not a giant like Disney, they have the ability and strength to blossom in many ways, but I'm different, although I've only been a few years since I started my business.

But there is more or less an element of luck, and if I had another time, I might not have been able to achieve the results I have now. Now that I've decided to do this business, I must do it well, otherwise, I don't have more capital to do more. More than one billion dollars, even for me, is equivalent to most of the assets, if such assets are not enough for me to do seriously, then in any industry, I may not be able to do well. Li Mingbao said with a straight face.

"Well, on the core issue of your career, obviously I, as an outsider, can't say too much. Now that you've decided to do it, I won't say more. But I still hope that you have the time to pay more attention to the film industry itself, after all, in this industry, your talent is outstanding. If someone as talented as you doesn't make movies, it will be a loss for the entire industry.

So when you are in your own industry, you should also try to make as many movies as possible, so that not only will not waste your talent, but also make your capital stronger. Of course, the main thing is that I can also make more money along with it. In the end, John was half joking, half serious. This is also John's bottom line, if Li Mingbao does not get involved in the film industry at all in the future, then the relationship between John and Li Mingbao will definitely not be intimate, there is no entanglement of interests, friends like them, friendship will definitely not last long.

"Of course, I'll definitely make movies when I have time. After all, movies are so profitable, it's a pity to give up, I also have a deep affection for movies, whether it is emotionally or professionally, I will not be allowed to completely stop movies in the future, I have no contradiction with Franklin. "What John meant, how could Li Mingbao not understand? The relationship between him and John was originally united because of interests, and if the relationship with John's interests faded in the future, then his industry in the United States will definitely be affected to a certain extent.

If you don't do anything within your account, and in the end you will play yourself to death, Li Mingbao will definitely not let it happen. can't often make money in the film industry, occasionally get a vote, and be able to explain to everyone. If you really occupy a certain market share in North America every year, that is the real big problem. But once in a while, I get a movie or two to make money, I'm afraid no one will mind.
