Chapter 389: The Respondents Gather

If it is just to share the fame of Hong Kong movies, it is not a great benefit for the bosses of these companies. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but the problem is the most important item in the circulation port, not this, but circulation. The difficulty of circulation is relatively low for Hong Kong films, because now East Asian filmmakers know that the quality of Hong Kong films is good, and they have an inherent advantage.

Even Boss Lei's New Art City does not mean that their movies can't be sold, on the contrary, the current movies of New Art City are even more popular than the movies of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to a certain extent. This is not because the quality of the films in Xinyicheng is higher than that of the other two film companies, but because Boss Lei does not have overseas theaters, and in the negotiation of film sales, he can't raise the price, and most of the money is taken by overseas film companies, and Boss Lei doesn't get much money.

Not to mention the three major film companies, even if they are small film companies in Hong Kong, it is much easier than other foreign film companies to sell ports, and there may be a big problem with the price, but at least there will be people who come to buy movies, not like those film companies in other regions, even if the movie is good, if you don't take the initiative, foreign businessmen don't care much about your movie at all.

Now, Hong Kong wants to be a circulation port, and it will not only screen Hong Kong's local films, but also films from other regions, and the share is quite large; according to relatively reliable grapevine, the scale of screening of foreign films in Hong Kong's United Cinemas will not be less than 40 percent of the United Cinemas' film schedule.

You must know that the current Hong Kong cinema chain, or the screen of the United Cinema Line, has 320 yuan. Although there is still a big gap between these screens and the Japanese market, these movie screens are actually enough just as a test screening area. Whether it is the golden sign of Hong Kong movies or the hardware strength of United Cinemas, it is enough to withstand the plan of this circulation port.

At that time, it will not only be Hong Kong films that will benefit, but also other regional film companies that will directly benefit. Although there is still some imbalance in the competition with Hong Kong films in the local market, after all, Hong Kong moviegoers are not so receptive to foreign films.

But such a problem is actually not a big deal. The taste of Hong Kong audiences is actually very close to the taste of the entire East Asian population, as long as it is a good movie for Hong Kong audiences, it is also very good for other regions to sell ports, basically most movies are like this, so this disadvantage is actually an advantage, after all, most of the taste of the entire East Asian audience is judged by Hong Kong audiences. If your own movies are more profitable than Hong Kong's local films at some point, then the price of selling in the port will be quite good, and then it will not be the film company to find foreign businessmen, but foreign businessmen to find film companies. On this issue, in fact, it is equivalent to foreign films in Hong Kong, which has obtained the same starting line, as long as the rules are stable and do not make too big shady scenes, then this platform for equal communication is quite valuable. And now, in fact, only Hong Kong can carry such a big banner.

After understanding the benefits of Hong Kong's circulation port, foreign businessmen, whether they are simple film buying companies, film companies, or other companies, know that Hong Kong is doing this kind of thing, and it is a good opportunity for everyone. Therefore, the shareholders of United Cinemas, who originally had a good relationship with Hong Kong and were ready to eat alone, immediately knew that such a big benefit could not be eaten by themselves. As a result, the plan for a distribution port began to spread among the major film companies throughout East Asia.

Although some very powerful companies have a lot of self-esteem and feel that Hong Kong is doing this, and they don't pay attention to them at all, they can also do the same, but these people with nationalist ideas will not occupy a mainstream position in any company, so the big companies have wisely chosen to accept the goodwill of the Hong Kong film industry. As long as the bosses who want to sell their company's films, they all support Hong Kong's huge plan. If Hong Kong's own hardware conditions are not up to standard, they can still chirp, but the problem is that when the Hong Kong film industry proposed this plan, it had already perfected the hardware work, so that other large companies could not find a place to start.

Some people may say that the more than 300 screens of United Cinemas cannot support such a market, and the screen is not enough, that is, the hardware is not good. But all the big companies understand that Hong Kong's United Cinema screens are actually enough, because on these screens, the Hong Kong film industry has also done a lot of tricks.

There are more than 300 screens, and the external factor is that Hong Kong is a small place, and the market is already saturated with more than 300 screens. And another meaning, that is, if you want to release your company's movies in Hong Kong, you also need to fight for it, don't think why the movie is sent to Hong Kong, Hong Kong's United Cinema Line will pick it up, so if you have an idea, you have to take the initiative, if you lose at the starting line, you can't complain about our Hong Kong filmmakers.

Doing so, in ancient parlance, is to kill three soldiers with two peaches. In today's parlance, it's hunger marketing. In this regard, Xiaomi company decades later, has done quite creatively. To put it bluntly, that is, whether you love to come or not, whether you don't come and don't have your seat, the so-called initiative is actually on the problem of these more than 300 screens.

artificially caused a tension between supply and demand, Li Mingbao and their abacus played quite well. In fact, at the beginning, Uncle Six didn't expect that the United Cinema Line would have such a meaning. To be honest, at the beginning, more than 300 screens were built, and the idea of the sixth uncle was to satisfy the local audience in Hong Kong, and strive not to fall behind for ten years, build it at one time, and save money later.

But I didn't expect Li Mingbao to come up with this big plan after the United Cinema was completed, well, Hong Kong people haven't enjoyed it yet, so they will make such a group of foreigners, and everyone will make a fortune together. And to accommodate so many people, more than 300 screens, it seems a little stingy, but stinginess also has the benefits of stinginess. That is, most people know that it is not so easy to release their own movies in United Cinemas, not that they can be on it. In such a situation, if one company does not cooperate, more companies will come to cooperate, and if they want to unite and bargain with United Cinemas, there is no such soil at all. If you don't do it, more people will do it, and if you want to be proud, then you can be proud.

Therefore, after understanding this truth, as long as it is a film company in East Asia, except for the current mainland, they all understand how important this opportunity is, and even the bosses of some large film companies, who used to be at the same level as Uncle Liu, have now made a special flight to Hong Kong, in order to seize the opportunity and not let others take advantage.

And there isn't much time left for these large companies, and with a little hesitation, they may miss this opportunity. Especially when Li Mingbao told Wu Dun about this matter, it was basically equivalent to all Taiwanese filmmakers knowing the news. And Taiwan's intelligence is also brushed, and the government is like this, not to mention the film industry, this time, Taiwan knows, which is equivalent to all East Asian film companies knowing the news.

Originally hesitant to take the shelf of large foreign companies, now can not afford to take the shelf, because just when they understand that they missed the opportunity, there have been countless people began to run Hong Kong, and even this wave of trend, so that the business volume of Hong Kong Kai Tak Airport, have increased by five percentage points, equivalent to the first to enjoy the benefits of the circulation port of the department, and then, the whole Hong Kong high-end hotels, and become the second wave of beneficiaries, these can seize the opportunity of the bosses, the strength is not bad, in the absence of their own industry in Hong Kong, They're basically going to stay in hotels. Even Hong Kong's catering industry, especially the high-end catering industry, has felt the benefits. Finally, even some foreign companies that are anxious for money are beginning to enter the stage of substantial buying of houses, and even the property market, which was originally falling, has begun to rise slightly.

This is just news, and there is no complete announcement of the plan to drive the development of so many industries. By this time, even those who originally thought that the boss of the film industry was too bad understood that United Cinema really had this strength. I can't get along with anyone, and I can't get along with money, and now that the United Cinema Line has made such a good start, even the Hong Kong Governor feels that he has face.

At this time, Li Mingbao also knew that the heat was almost over, so he found a time, gathered all the six uncles and them, and then said: "The heat is almost over, although there are still some foreign companies that do not let go, thinking that their companies need better conditions to agree with our plan." But I think that whether those companies agree or disagree now has little to do with the circulation port plan of our United Cinema Line, even if these companies are now, they are enough for us to be busy.

Rather than waiting until everyone agrees with our plan to spread it out completely, it is better to start implementing the Circulation Port plan now. In this way, not only can the circulation port be effectively established, so that everyone can see the benefits and returns, but also can train our professional talents, and finally, let those companies understand that the circulation port plan is not without them, it will not be able to play at all.

As long as there are three or five of our customers in each market, our distribution port is equivalent to the initial establishment, and whether there is a nod from those large film companies will not have much impact on us. When these early companies make money, I don't trust the big studios and think that they are doing the right thing. ”

"It's not a big problem for us to just push the rules out like that. But I'm afraid that the big studios will carry out some sabotage plans in their own country, so that our customers will suffer, and then the problem will be more troublesome. Zou Wenhuai said with some concern.

"Don't worry about this problem, don't forget what we do in the port of circulation, even if it is not profitable locally, you can still get the money back in the port market. And until now, there is no regional film company that has united to boycott the circulation port, and they have not been united internally, as long as the first batch of profits comes out, no one can bear it. So now is the best time to implement the port of circulation, that is, we can make our achievements, and we can also knock on those film companies, killing two birds with one stone, why not do it? Li Mingbao said with a smile.
