Chapter 226: Bundle of Interests

If Li Qing returns to China to establish a cinema chain, it is most beneficial to cooperate with China Film.

Although the current China Film is not as monopolistic as before, the ten imported films held by China Film will determine the survival of theaters in the next ten years.

Liao Yiyuan is right, Li Qing can make a movie that keeps his theater alive.

But the problem is that Li Qing doesn't only have movies in his eyes, and it is impossible to become a tool for making movies!

At present, it is a period of development, in order to earn development funds, Li Qing may make two movies a year, and when Li Qing's economy improves, at most he will make one movie a year.

For a cinema chain, one or two films are far from enough, and until Feng Xiaogang's Chinese New Year film appeared, domestic films were really uncompetitive in front of imported films, so only by getting the screening rights of China Film's imported films, Li Qing's cinema chain can be invincible in the next ten years.

Therefore, at this stage, Li Qing must cooperate with China Film.

In 2001, when China joined the WTO, the quota for imported films would become 20, and Li Qing would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

In 2003, CEPA was signed, and China issued the "Interim Regulations on the Access to Film Production, Distribution, and Screening Business Qualifications", which was often referred to as "Order No. 20", so that co-production films could be separated from imported films, and Li Qing could part ways with China Film at that time.

To be honest, Li Qing is not willing to cooperate with China Film, because with China Film, even if Li Qing makes a co-production, it can only be regarded as a co-production, and it can only be released in China through the channel of introducing films, and it can only be divided into 13% of the box office, and then remove the publicity or something, and the possibility of being assigned to Li Qing by the producer is only about 10%!

You know, in the future, the producers of co-productions will be able to get 40 to 45 percent.

And yet—

The situation is pressing.

In addition, the current domestic film market is not very interesting.

Therefore, Li Qing plans to seize the cinema market first, and as for making a lot of money in China, he will not consider it first.

If Li Qing cooperates with China Film, then China Film will definitely become the domestic distributor of Li Qing's films, at least the distributor of Li Qing's co-productions.

And if Li Qing makes domestic films, Li Qing, who has a theater chain in China in the future, can completely distribute it himself.

Therefore, once Li Qing cooperates with China Film, Yindu will be useless.

Knowing that the object that Li Qing wanted to cooperate with was Zhongying and not their silver capital, Liao Yiyuan was very, very, very uncomfortable!

Busy coming and going, Yindu even lost his own land in China, and he could only see Li Qing, the treasure chicken that can only lay golden eggs, getting farther and farther away from him, let me ask, how can Liao Yiyuan be comfortable?

In fact, the silver capital of the previous life also ended up in such an embarrassing end.

The quota for imported films is firmly controlled by China Film, although Yindu has "produced films that can be directly distributed in the mainland market, and the films filmed can be directly filmed without the approval of the mainland Ministry of Radio, Film and Television." But for various reasons, Yindu itself can't make a movie that can make money in China, and it can't turn it into a tangible benefit at all - in the last life, from this year until the signing of CEPA in 2003, Yindu has always been just an ordinary Xiangjiang film company, and in the past ten years, it has only made a few painless movies such as "Weight Loss Tour", "Extreme Repeat Offender", and "Extraordinary Police", barely surviving.

Seeing that Liao Yiyuan's face was very bad, Li Qing said with confidence: "Uncle Liao, don't tell lies in front of the Ming people, after a while, I will go north to study the construction of the cinema line, and if Yindu wants to cooperate with me, he has to come up with some dry goods." ”

Liao Yiyuan's heart moved, and then asked, "What do you want?"

Li Qing said bluntly: "The quota for the introduction of films, as long as Silver can win the quota for the introduction of films, I will cooperate with Yindu." ”

Liao Yiyuan was silent for a while, and said: "We have fought for silver, but you also know that Xiangjiang filmmakers have done a lot of stupid things, which angered some people in China, so they closed Hong Kong films out......"

Li Qing guided Liao Yiyuan and said: "Uncle Liao, your silver capital is meritorious to the country, you can fight for it again, it doesn't take much, even if you only win one place, don't you have one more chance for silver?"

Liao Yiyuan shook his head, "It's difficult, Zhongying won't give us the chance to compete with Yindu." ”

Li Qing said leisurely: "Why do you Yindu have to compete with China Film? Can't you win with China Film?"

Liao Yiyuan was puzzled: "Win-win, how to win-win?"

Li Qing said: "You can apply for another introduction method with the state, and give preferential conditions, such as tax exemption for the producer, and then give 45% of the box office share, and at the same time give certain restrictions, such as the investment of mainland film companies, and for example, the main creative staff must be composed of both parties, of which mainland actors account for at least one-third, so as to better support the development of mainland films, and then you can give the distribution right to China Film, and only share the profits of the producer, so that China Film should not give you silver to make trouble." ”

Li Qing's proposal is actually to take out the co-production in advance, so that the co-production film was born in advance.

In today's vigorous reform, with the strong background of the silver capital, it may not be impossible to carry out this pilot.

Therefore, hearing Li Qing say this, Liao Yiyuan's eyes suddenly lit up!

Liao Yiyuan calculated in his heart: "If silver can get such a place, then no matter which producer wants to use their silver quota, they have to let them have a foot in the silver capital, and once their silver money can be a big hit, the money earned will not be comparable to the little money earned from the distribution in the mainland......"

After thinking about it for a while, Liao Yiyuan suddenly asked Li Qing: "Ah Qing, for you, if you can get this quota for silver, you seem to have to suffer a loss, right?"

Liao Yiyuan is worthy of being an old Jianghu, and he can see the problem at a glance!

Truly!

At present, the domestic film market cannot be compared with the foreign film market, so even if the domestic share is increased to 45% and Yindu is allowed to take shares, Li Qing will suffer at this stage!

Of course, if Li Qing's share of Yindu is too small, it will be a different matter.

But then again, if that's the case, it's impossible for Yindu to give this place to Li Qing.

Actually-

That's not how Li Qing's account is calculated.

Li Qing calculates that Yindu's strong background and stronger production capabilities than domestic production companies - with China Film as a partner and Yindu as a partner, Li Qing will have enough film sources in domestic theaters in the future, and he can also tie the two predators of China Film and Yindu to Li Qing's ship, so that Li Qing's future domestic theater chain will definitely be able to survive this most difficult period, and develop rapidly to seize the mainland theater market.
