"Showing literary films? Aren't we going to lose money? I don't think there's any problem in attracting potential customers in the early morning hours, after all, even if it's a holiday, this time period is actually not very good, so attract customers and attract customers.

But is it really good to play literary films all morning? It's better to have movies that are all blockbusters, then we will definitely make a lot more profit than literary films. Literary films, I really can't sell for much money. The sixth uncle said with a frown.
Don't look at Uncle Six, who started with movies, but by this time, Uncle Six has become a pure businessman, and it is uncomfortable to make a little less money. Literary films or something, it has never been Uncle Six's liking, even if he has the talent to make literary films, but he has never taken the initiative to let these directors make literary films.
Don't think too much of Uncle Six, in fact, Uncle Six is essentially a layman. Sister Hong Kong is tall enough, right? In fact, at the beginning, Uncle Six engaged in Sister Hong Kong, and he was also playing side balls. You must know the year when Sister Hong Kong appeared, but in the sixties and seventies, even Europe and the United States were quite conservative. But when Uncle Sixth engaged in the first session of Sister Hong Kong, he let those Hong Kong sisters wear three-point style on stage, which was simply unimaginable in Hong Kong at that time. Although the number of shows wearing this kind of clothes in the future is definitely not a small number, and even many viewers of the show just went to watch the show for the ball, but in that year, the Hong Kong sister of the sixth uncle caused a great sensation, even Ming Pao checked the old man, and the sixth uncle had such a good relationship, isn't Ming Pao also the same with a critical attitude?
It's just that after that, Sister Hong Kong looked tall for some other reasons, so Uncle Six's old bottom was also cleaned a lot, if it weren't for those reasons, Sister Hong Kong's signboard would not be very good at all. So when he heard that Li Mingbao actually left so much time for literary films on holidays, the sixth uncle was quite incomprehensible. In his opinion, no matter how bad the holiday is, it can't let the literary film lose its interest, and the income will be much less.
Compared with literary films, Uncle Sixth understands Li Mingbao's charter system better, and he is not afraid of losing money in the cultivation market, and he can earn it back in the future. But literary films, which are usually not very good at the box office, you also release them, there is no market for the market, there is no way to make money, honor or something, the theater chain doesn't have to think about it, such a movie, it's too hard to wipe your ass, why take it out?
Uncle Six is dissatisfied, and several other bosses are also very dissatisfied, in Hong Kong, literary films are generally not such popular characters, except for very professional film people, and people who don't have much money, will like such movies, as long as they are bosses, they will rarely be interested in literary films, because in Hong Kong history, when literary films make money, they are simply a handful.
After seeing the expressions of these people in front of him, Li Mingbao knew what they thought, but for his own suggestion, Li Mingbao also had his own considerations, but Li Mingbao couldn't throw this consideration out now, because there were still a few people who shouldn't know the inside story, and they were sitting in front of him now.
Therefore, Li Mingbao only said vaguely: "Although the literary film market is not very good, it does not mean that there is no such film market in Hong Kong, but the number of people is too small." While we unite with cinemas to take care of the tastes of most people, we also have to take care of the tastes of a small number of people, so if you really want to talk about it, there is also a market for literary films.
And usually United Cinemas will not screen this kind of movie, but Hong Kong has the output of this kind of movie, we can't ban Hong Kong movies directly, right? That's a lot of trouble. So I concentrated on this kind of movie on the morning of the holiday, which is only five hours in total, and the time is not too good, even if other types of movies are screened, the box office cannot be compared with the afternoon and evening. In this case, why don't we use this time period to get literary films out.
No matter how niche literary and artistic films are, it is not completely without a market, while we seize the big market, we also need to seize the small market, go our own way, and let others have no way out, so that we can finally solve the trouble. Our United Cinema will tolerate even bad movies, why can't we tolerate literary films? In fact, the box office income of really good literary films will not be too small, and it is a waste to give up all the movies of this genre. ”
Li Mingbao's explanation, although reasonable, is not so impeccable. Obviously, this kind of explanation can't impress the sixth uncle and a few of them. But the sixth uncle and a few of them did not continue to dwell on this issue at all.
"Since Li Sheng, you have said so, on the whole, this kind of film scheduling system is not bad, go back and get the system you said Li Sheng, and then let the managers of the movie theater do the same." Zou Wenhuai said at this time.
With Zou Wenhuai's words, and several other people were silent, the matter of the theater schedule was decided in this way. It seems that Li Mingbao's unfinished words are still meaningful, and the sixth uncle and several of them have noticed it, and they will need Li Mingbao to explain it in private later.
After all the shareholders of the United Cinema Line voted by a show of hands, Li Mingbao's issue of the cinema film schedule was thoroughly implemented, and then when the ribbon was cut, this screening system could be officially implemented. Of course, the power to schedule films can no longer be solved by the screening department of the United Cinema Line, but by the distribution department. Even if you don't set up a separate company, you need to set up a department on the issue of film scheduling, and this department will have considerable power in the future, and it can even affect the type of future film shooting in the entire Hong Kong market.
The sixth uncle and a few of them could sense that Li Mingbao's words were a little unfinished, and the other people were not confused, especially Cui Xiaoming, who did he understand better who Li Mingbao was mainly aiming at when he said this? Isn't he the expatriate shareholder? It's just that Cui Xiaoming can only pretend not to know about these things, because he knows that even if he raises the question now, Li Mingbao may not have the heart to explain to him, as a small shareholder, and he has not yet decided on the power, obedience is the best way, and if you are disobedient, others can directly ignore your opinion.
After the problem of film scheduling was solved, Cui Xiaoming knew that it was time for him to leave, because he understood that he should not listen to the next words. And after Cui Xiaoming left the scene, the Xiang brothers took a look at Li Mingbao and a few of them, and they didn't speak, and immediately understood what Li Mingbao wanted to say, and the two brothers were not qualified to listen, they originally thought that they were guarding against Cui Xiaoming, but they didn't expect this matter to be against the two of them.
So Xiang Huasheng said with some dissatisfaction: "Li Sheng, Cui Xiaoming is not qualified to listen to things, is it not even qualified for our two brothers to listen?" After all, we are also locals, so why should we see the outside world so much? ”
"It's not a matter of seeing the outside world, but even if you two brothers listen to it, it doesn't make much sense. If you two brothers are really idle, it doesn't matter if you listen to it, these things have nothing to do with you at all. Hearing Xiang Huasheng say this, Li Mingbao said naturally.
He really didn't want to hide the idea of hiding it from the Xiang brothers, but the interests to be discussed next were completely unrelated to the Xiang brothers, and there was no benefit in listening to it, and there was no harm in not listening to it, since the two brothers wanted to hear it, Li Mingbao didn't mind.
Seeing that the people who should have left had left, and the curious people had stayed, Li Mingbao said what he had reserved before.
"First of all, I will talk about literary films. I did have some reservations in this matter, and these reserved words actually involve what I said at the beginning about building the Hong Kong film market into a circulation port.
Sixth uncle, don't say you're not happy at this time, I do this, in fact, it's good for everyone, and you don't have to spend much money at all, what you really have to spend is actually about some administrative policy issues, which is not too big a problem for us. With Uncle Six and Boss Zou here, this problem should be solved easily. Li Mingbao first gave the sixth uncle a thorough explanation, what did he mean by retaining, he had to name it first.
"You are right, the administrative problem is the biggest problem. You don't have such resources, so you hit us with ideas, and you don't do it to do business, so what good can it do us? "The sixth uncle didn't say anything resolutely against at this time, he said that before, but he didn't want to toss around.
But now that Li Mingbao continues to talk about this matter, the sixth uncle also knows that Li Mingbao's words can't be taken as a joke. After all, Li Mingbao just solved the problem of the theater's film scheduling and screening, and everyone has no objection to doing so.
As soon as the so-called connoisseur makes a move, he knows whether there is one. I wasn't very optimistic about Li Mingbao's plan before, that was because the sixth uncle had not seen Li Mingbao's planning ability, in case the ability didn't work, and the idea was stupid, if he continued like that, it would definitely be a loss-making business. But Li Mingbao handled the problem of film scheduling properly, and didn't even give them the opportunity to check and fill in the gaps.
From this point of view, Li Mingbao's planning ability is still quite strong, at least the sixth uncle had never thought of such a perfect plan before. It's not that Li Mingbao's brain and experience are much higher than that of an old fox like Uncle Six, but that Li Mingbao has a considerable advantage over Uncle Six in terms of film scheduling.
If Uncle Sixth is allowed to deal with this problem, he will definitely fall into the perspective of the authorities, so no matter what he does, he will not be able to come up with a good method, after all, he has a film company in his hands, although this company is not very competitive now, but it is also an old signboard. The butt is originally sitting crookedly, so how can it be possible to distribute the benefits well?
Not to mention that the sixth uncle is not well distributed, and several other people are also not good, except for Li Mingbao, who does not have a film company in his hands, he can achieve a similar balance, and several other people can't do it at all. After all, even if Li Mingbao wants to make a movie himself, how many movies can be released in a year? Can the output of a single person be the same as that of wholesale?。.。
