Some of John's vague reminders made Li Mingbao understand the reason why "" was released smoothly. But something deeper, Li Mingbao can't figure it out for the time being. After all, although all his industries in the United States are very profitable, in fact, he really didn't spend much effort, and everything was based on plagiarism. As for why these industries are so successful and why those programs are so eye-catching, Li Mingbao also understands some superficial things.

For more detailed things, he didn't understand at all, who made Li Mingbao a half-American expert? If the situation in Hong Kong is that the sixth uncle and they do something a little, Li Mingbao will be able to guess a rough idea, after all, he is familiar with the situation in Hong Kong, and he already has rich experience, plus these years of experience, the sixth uncle wants to make something, and he really can't hide it from Li Mingbao. But the situation on the side of the United States, Li Mingbao himself knows not much, and even those things in his memory are not in-depth understanding.

This is not to blame the big guy, in his rampant era, the situation on the Hollywood side of the United States has basically been mythologized, some big markets that can be detected by the outside, the big guy knows, but more insiders, let alone now, even ten years later, is still in a state of secrecy, if he hasn't personally experienced some things, he won't know more than others. In such a situation, it is a little difficult for Li Mingbao to guess the intentions of those film companies at once.

Of course, for Li Mingbao now, there is no big difference between knowing and not knowing. Knowing that, he can't do anything more beneficial to himself, and he doesn't know, and he won't make things worse, so to speak, such a thing has no big impact on him.

Even if the movie is successful, those giant companies have entered the field of science fiction movies, and the relationship with Li Mingbao is not big, because he will not shoot science fiction movies for at least several years.

It's not that he can't see the development potential of this kind of movie, but he knows very well that the science fiction movies of this age may not have major shortcomings in software, and the last thing that human beings lack is imagination. Later, because of his prompts, the Kejia really made these things.

Verne's imagination clearly broke through the sky. So if people on the Hollywood side really want to enter this field, at least in the script, there will be no problem. And some of the settings of Hollywood movies about the future world are also in line with the laws of the development of the times, so a script with extraordinary imagination is not the slightest difficulty for Hollywood, including actors and directors or something, it will not be a big problem, just like John said, as long as Hollywood is willing to spend money, even directors who are not good at shooting science fiction films will make good science fiction movies under pressure. According to this statement, it seems very simple to make a good science fiction movie.

But the truth is the opposite, until ten years later, there are not many science fiction movies that can really be called good. Even if it is a science fiction movie with a large investment, there are quite a lot of hits on the street, and even many movies directly destroy a series that originally had potential.

This may have something to do with the director, but the more important reason is that the hardware strength of these movies is not enough, and there is a big generation gap.

Do science fiction movies have development potential? Of course there is, but the problem is that if the hardware is not up to standard, if you want to shoot a science fiction movie well, in Chinese terms, this situation is half the effort. With ten times the effort, but only half of the results can be achieved, in short, it is thankless. This kind of thing, Li Mingbao can do it once, after all, investing in this movie now is actually quite profitable, the investment is not much, and the return is quite rich. Li Mingbao has no reason not to do such a thing, but if he wants Li Mingbao to continue to devote himself to this type of movie, Li Mingbao definitely has little interest.

First of all, because of the problem of investment, if you want to shoot a science fiction movie well in this year, then the investment must be huge, and there can be no mistakes in the middle, as long as there is a problem in one link in the middle, then the effect is serial, and all the efforts will be in vain. Although the return seems to be high, the return on investment is actually not very good. In addition, there is a lot of risk, and Li Mingbao is not ready to really expand his territory in Hollywood, and directly compete with those giants, such a big movie, at least for ten years, Li Mingbao will not make it at all.

Unless the hardware conditions are substantially improved, so that the cost of shooting movies is reduced to a reasonable range, then Li Mingbao is still somewhat interested. But now, even if there are big interests in science fiction movies, it is enough for Li Mingbao to just make such a movie, brush up on his sense of existence, show up at the right time, and let others know his existence, which is a good thing for Li Mingbao, and if he wants to get more benefits, with Li Mingbao's current strength, he still has no strength.

After all, in the movie circle, Hollywood has tacitly acquiesced to Li Mingbao, an outsider, who controls the profits of a niche film category, so Li Mingbao should be interesting, and if you want to get more things, maybe others will have to open your current plate. When the time comes, you won't even be able to eat what you eat now. This kind of thing happened in Hollywood not once or twice.

Li Mingbao dares to be ruthless in the TV industry and earn excess profits, that is because in this industry, Li Mingbao grabbed two thighs, and the profits of his company are actually shared, and there are two other thighs to protect himself from disasters, so as long as Li Mingbao does not force other film companies to live at all, then he can live a very nourishing life. But in the film industry, he doesn't have such good conditions, and he doesn't share the shares of DreamWorks Films, which he doesn't share with other bosses.

So if it really gets bigger, even if it is Twentieth Century Fox, it may not be able to settle the problem for DreamWorks, after all, they have no actual interests in DreamWorks, and just with some goodwill, they want such a giant to help them settle everything, it is absolutely delusional, and John will never care about things without interests. In the end, it will always be Li Mingbao who suffers.

That's it, Li Mingbao is in the genre of science fiction movies, in line with the principle of indifference, it is good to be able to make a lot of money, but if you can't make much, it doesn't matter. Anyway, he won't touch this theme again for a long time after that, and it's lucrative, but the pressure on funds is great, and it's not something he can play well now. With so many industries on the mainland still to develop, it is obviously not a rational thing for the United States to invest hundreds of millions of dollars to make movies.

In any case, now when the movie is released, having someone to help is definitely a good thing for Li Mingbao. When such a good thing falls on his head, Li Mingbao will naturally be happy. As for what deeper reasons there are, Li Mingbao can't control it now, anyway, as long as it doesn't affect his own interests, it's a good thing, and if it does, then he can only make some choices.

Seeing that Li Mingbao did not continue to ask everyone for the deeper reason for helping, John also felt inexplicable when he breathed a sigh of relief. Doesn't Li Mingbao understand that there is no free lunch in this world? Why is Li Mingbao's heart so big? It's strange to hear that someone is helping without asking for a specific reason.

So John asked with some curiosity: "Mr. Li, aren't you curious why others are helping you?" ”

"What's there to be curious about? Didn't you say that the big companies were using me as a probe? Since as a stone explorer, I naturally have the consciousness of being a stone explorer, and for me, there are only benefits and no disadvantages, so why should I get to the bottom of it? Anyway, with my strength in Hollywood, even if I want to find out something, I can't find out, so why should I waste my efforts?

When I really want to be useful, those giants will always find me, and it's better to wait for them to take the initiative to speak. It saves me a lot of effort, doesn't it? As long as it doesn't stand in my way to make money, everything else is negotiable. Li Mingbao said very naturally.

"What if those people's purpose is to prevent you from making money? Or do you want to capture the fruits of your labor? You know, if your film is successful, it's also a big deal for Hollywood as a whole. After all, the theme of science fiction movies itself contains quite a lot of potential, and since Star Wars, everyone has noticed the potential of this type of movie.

However, due to the fact that several more films of this genre were made later, the results were not very good, so recently the subject has sunk again. But it doesn't mean that everyone really ignores this type of movie, if your movie is successful, it means that there is no problem with this type of movie itself, and the problem is just because of other aspects. If this is the case, then other companies will definitely enter this type of film production on a large scale. Then it's not easy for you to eat in this type of movie in the future. Isn't that preventing you from making money? John said to Li Mingbao with an anxious look. Looking at his appearance, he seemed to be very concerned about Li Mingbao's future.

Hearing John's statement, Li Mingbao finally understood why those giant companies were so accumulated. If this is their plan, then the relationship with Li Mingbao is really not big. After all, Li Mingbao has long made a choice that he will not shoot sci-fi films in Hollywood for at least ten years, even if it is a sequel to Terminator. In this way, the plans of those companies are completely useless to Li Mingbao.
