Chapter 238: Impenetrable

"Big butler, don't be in a hurry. We have an accountant on our current books, and it's enough to have an account......"

Chen Jialuo smiled and said: "As for the funds, it is impossible to let Yongsheng be wholly owned, don't forget that there is also the new cinema chain of Feng and Chen! They don't plan to engage in a production company, but play finance, and they want to make steady profits without losing money." ”

Liu Haitang heard Chen Jialuo say this sentence clearly, and he still couldn't believe it: "They really don't open a film production company?"

Now that the film market is so good, why don't you make movies? Without your own film company, what's the use of just doing theaters?

In this regard, Chen Jialuo said: "So we can only work part-time, and people are big bosses! People don't play with production companies, so they lend money to us independent production companies to shoot, and then put them in him, understand?"

The words are so obvious, Liu Haitang still doesn't understand: "It means that when the cake is divided into our piece, he will eat the one lent to us first, and then the rest is our ......"

Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei are really high, no matter how they calculate, they will not lose money, and they will not be like Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, New Art City and other companies, and there will be times when they lose their investment in films, they need to raise a large number of filmmakers......"

The production of a movie, from picking a book, forming a team, finding money, making films, selling films and other overall work step by step, as long as you are ready to enter this industry and eat this bowl of rice, you will be troubled by these things.

And all these steps must be based on 'finding money'. Whether it is the shooting funds or the later publicity expenses, it is all money! money!

Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei understood this, so they used this way to make their new cinema chain rise under the suppression of the three major cinema chains.

Because they have a cinema chain, they don't have to worry about borrowing money from these independent film production companies, and the movie hits the street and can't afford to pay back. In the same way, the films made by these borrowed independent film production companies will naturally be released in their new theaters, filling up the film library.

After the box office of a movie is released, in addition to taxes, most of it is taken by the theater chain, and the rest is the distributor's, and even the publicity and distribution costs are removed, and the next is the small cake of the producer and investors.

Even some films are at a competitive disadvantage in the same schedule, and for the purpose of increasing the number of film screenings, they will also promise box office rebates to theaters and theaters.

So no matter as long as the movie is not so bad that no one watches it, and it can't sell any copyright overseas, Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei basically won't lose money. What's more, the movie market is so good now, just find a team to shoot, or find Zhou Yunfa to play casually, it's all revenue, and there are not many people who really hit the street, it's just a matter of making more and making less.

It was precisely because of this that Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei dared to jump out of the Golden Princess Cinema and decided to do it themselves. Although they have not interfered in any affairs of Golden Princess Entertainment Co., Ltd., they have so many subsidiaries such as Xinyicheng and Yongjia, and they have a situation of making money and losing money.

They don't plan to make money or lose money, but they want to be invincible all the time, and they can still coerce independent film production companies for their own use, so why not!

Similarly, an independent film production company like Chen Jialuo and others can also borrow their hands to jump out of the situation of being squeezed by the three major theater chains, and can live and develop more nourishingly.

originally thought that Chen Jialuo was planning to invest by himself, but he didn't expect it to be Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei's new cinema line, Liu Haitang suddenly smiled and said: "These two princes are really powerful, there is a lot of rumors outside, they don't have any rumors at all, tsk!"

From the very beginning that Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei were going to build a new theater to the opening of the Red Flower Club, although the two did not come in person, they sent someone to send a flower basket, and everyone thought that Chen Jialuo's Red Flower Club was the second new art city.

Until recently, Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei's new cinema line still had no movement, and many media were speculating whether their opportunity was stillborn, or rather, they were held down by Boss Lei.

I didn't expect them to fight this idea, simply operating a theater chain, instead of bringing out a second new art city. The more Liu Haitang thought about it, the more he felt that Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei were indeed clever, worthy of being born in a wealthy family.

Looking at Liu Haitang's admiring expression, Chen Jialuo knew that the new treasure cinema line that Feng Bingzhong and Chen Rongmei was about to create was not only a new way, but really leveraged the solid position of the three major cinema chains.

In fact, Xinbao Cinemas is dedicated to acting as an "intermediary" between foreign and Hong Kong independent production companies, and everyone partners to start a movie, and the films produced can not only be released in Xinbao Cinemas, but also foreign investment can be brought back to the local market to continue to make profits.

Objectively speaking, with one more new cinema line, the demand for film sources will naturally rise, and the total box office will also increase significantly.

First of all, as low-budget small productions (including bad films that were previously unscheduled) have the opportunity to be released in theaters, the phenomenon of overfilming has become more serious.

By 1992, the annual output of Hong Kong films had exceeded 200, but the number of audiences entering the theater was 19 million fewer than in 1988.

In addition, due to the increase in cinema chains and abundant foreign investment, Hong Kong's independent film companies have declared "independence" and no longer need to be "satellite companies" attached to the three major cinema chains.

If you want to say that the Xinbao Cinema Line broke through the blockade of the three major cinema chains and acted as an intermediary to "lure the wolf into the house", it seems too serious, Hong Kong is a small place after all, even if there is no Xinbao, there will be Tianbao and Dibao.

The emergence of Xinbao Cinemas will allow independent production companies to be independent of the three major cinema chains and calmly use different investors to produce films.

As a result, the three major cinema chains have gradually lost their status as "calling the wind and rain" in the Hong Kong film market.

Chen Jialuo knew that it would not be long before the new art city would officially disintegrate, the Golden Princess Cinema would stop operating the cinema distribution and production business, and Debao would also give up the cinema operation.

A new cinema chain used special techniques to defeat two emerging leading cinema chains, and when the time came for the Hong Kong film market to reshuffle, Chen Jialuo did not say that he wanted to become the leading boss, but he was still very confident in doing what Yongsheng did.

Of course, Liu Haitang is not clear about the future changes, but through Chen Jialuo's words, he also knows what the Xinbao Cinema Line is about, and hesitated: "If that's the case, I suggest that the new film you said should be filmed as soon as possible! "The Birth of a Word" has nothing to do with them, but if the new film borrows their money to shoot, the scheduled schedule will definitely not be bad!"
