Chapter 477: Competition
Everyone knows that the British government in Hong Kong will never allow the emergence of a real king of Hong Kong among the people.
Don't look at Yan Qingyu calling for wind and rain in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, as if she is as invincible as an emperor.
But if the British government really wants to deal with him and is willing to pay a certain price for it, then it is not a difficult thing to do.
As long as two more free TV licenses are opened, or the free license of Phoenix TV is simply withdrawn, then the good days of Phoenix TV are basically over.
If an anti-monopoly bill is made through the Legislative Bureau, the three major cinema chains that Yan Qingyu has painstakingly integrated will face a situation of dismemberment.
If these two things are terminated, Yan Qingyu's influence in the entertainment industry will basically be eliminated.
Of course, it really got to this point, that is, it completely tore the skin.
Yan Qingyu will really hire the largest team of lawyers to go to London to sue the Governor of Hong Kong......
A big reason why the British government in Hong Kong allowed Yan to look down on someone in Hong Kong was Yan Qingyu's reputation on the stinky streets in Hong Kong.
If he does not have popularity, he has no way to influence stability and rule.
And Yan Qingyu's media adhered to the principle of "fairness and justice" and did not dance with his personal will.
Therefore, the British government in Hong Kong did not take him seriously, or rather, after weighing the pros and cons, chose to be a little more peaceful.
All in all, Yan Qingyu has more benefits than the opposite for having a bad reputation.
After Yan Qingyu interjected, she refused to speak again, holding a glass of water, nodding to the people on both sides and letting them continue.
looks like a good show, which makes people speechless.
Huang Wenfeng said with a smile: "Western products can't sell well in Hong Kong, not simply because of insufficient publicity. Who doesn't know those famous brands? It's just that the tariffs are too high, and the other taxes are much higher than the local taxes. ”
Xu Xiaoming picked a flaw and said: "In that case, what is the use of them advertising?" ”
Huang Wenfeng smiled angrily: "Of course it works, only a few people bought it before." After advertising, the number of people who buy will naturally rise. ”
Xu Xiaoming was a little confused and said, "Then you are not ......"
Huang Wenfeng said helplessly: "If our local enterprises still can't grow when the cost of the other party far exceeds them, then they have no value in saving." In fact, it is not only them, but also the entertainment industry. ”
Xu Xiaoming said vigilantly: "What do you mean? ”
Huang Wenfeng said: "It's very simple, whether it is Hong Kong movies or television, it is not really because of how powerful we are. I previously investigated "Batman," which sold $200 million in the U.S. and $400 million worldwide last year. The box office in Hong Kong is just over HK$10 million, and their promotional expenses are US$2 million. Excluding the box office share, their producers are losing a lot of money because they have to pay high entertainment taxes.
Why did "Batman" hit the streets to death in Hong Kong, yes, this is a popcorn movie, but it is really good-looking, and it is also a classic among commercial films. Reasonably, it shouldn't hit the streets. But it pounced to its death in Hong Kong. Even in Asia, there hasn't been much improvement.
The biggest reason is that Hong Kong movies are making bad movies and sniping at this movie with very irregular means. Jackie Chan's, Chow Yun-fat's, Stephen Chow's, Andy Lau's, almost all the top big-name movies have participated in the sniping of "Batman", and even the world's cinemas have played a very disgraceful role in it.
Mr. Xu. Even so, "Batman" still swept the box office of 15 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong. If it is released normally and promoted normally, what kind of box office do you think it can achieve? ”
Xu Xiaoming was stunned when he heard this, and asked again, "What do you mean?" ”
Huang Wenfeng smiled and said, "What I mean is very simple. If we can't keep getting stronger, and want to always rely on this kind of unacceptable means to snipe at other people's invasions, then one day. We'll reap the consequences. The current governor of the British government of Hong Kong is pro-China, so we are in chaos.
But Ninety-Seven is about to arrive, and we have received news that the London side is very dissatisfied with the pro-China stance of the current Governor of Hong Kong, Wilson, and thinks that he is too weak, so it is likely to remove him and replace him with a hard-line Governor.
Brother Yu also speculated that the British side would definitely not be so kind and leave an Oriental Pearl to the mainland. In other words, the last governor of Hong Kong, who is about to take office, is actually here to make trouble for us.
With the increasingly prosperous scenery of Hong Kong's entertainment industry, the last Hong Kong governor will not be overlooked, and when the time comes, the entertainment tax, which has a heavy protective effect on Hong Kong films, will be abolished.
It will even allow foreign capital to set up cinemas in Hong Kong. ”
Huang Wenfeng's words made the faces of several people in Hong Kong extremely difficult to look at.
Whether it is Xu Xiaoming, Xiao Sheng, or Li Zhuanglie, the most comfortable days they have lived in their lives have started when they joined Phoenix TV.
Since becoming a phoenix, in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, no matter how big a coffee is, no matter how many artists with backgrounds, they are respectful when cooperating with them, and they dare not show off at all.
As for playing big names or something, it's like a fantasy.
Sometimes they even hope to meet one or two brave people to play big cards and adjust their lives.
But not a single one.
As long as you are in the entertainment industry, no one dares to speak loudly in Phoenix TV, which is not an exaggeration at all.
In addition, the budget in Phoenix TV is far from being comparable to that of ATV and current TVB, and the sufficient budget ensures the quality of the TV series.
Coupled with the advertising revenue that is getting more and more year by year, Xu Xiaoming's life is a comfortable one.
They are all people who understand and know this situation, which is entirely because of Yan Qingyu's dominance in the Hong Kong entertainment industry.
If it weren't for Yan Qingyu's nostalgia for the old feelings, TVB would probably be in the pocket of the World Group at this moment.
In the field of media in Hong Kong, Yan Qingyu is the leader.
As long as this premise is not shaken, their lives will be better day by day.
However, if this situation changes, their days will not be sad, but they will definitely not have such a comfortable time.
Especially those Western conglomerates with deep pockets, such as News Corp's Murdoch.
Seeing that his words had knocked his opponent into such a dignified appearance, a faint smile flashed in Huang Wenfeng's eyes, and after glancing at Yan Qingyu, he coughed twice, and after attracting the attention of the other side to his body again, he said: "Of course, if this situation wants to happen, it will take a few years." At the very least, it will be until Wilson finishes this term as governor, until ninety-two.
I believe that by that time, our Firebird TV (writing Phoenix will be harmonious~) will be strong enough to face any competition. After all, Hong Kong is our home turf. ”
Xu Xiaoming's sentence "Pick your mother, dare to play me" had already jumped to his throat, but he was still forcibly swallowed.
