Chapter 374: Biting Dogs Don't Bark
Li Mingbao's words can be regarded as adding a scoop of oil to the fire in the hearts of the sixth uncle. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Even if it is the current United Cinema Chain, the value of the info reading artifact is quite high. The United Cinema Chain, which unifies the entire Hong Kong cinema market, was initially valued at HK$1 billion. And this kind of valuation also makes the Xiang brothers agree, and there are overseas filmmakers who pay for it.
Although at that time, the value of this billion Hong Kong dollars was still inflated, which was due to the urgency of the Xiang brothers to enter the industry, and the reason why overseas filmmakers coveted the Hong Kong film market, but in any case, at the moment of the establishment of United Cinemas, the value of United Cinemas had reached one billion Hong Kong dollars.
And with the completion of the renovation of the United Cinema Line, this value will rise by a section, if you add the screening system of the United Cinema Line, then the total value of the United Cinema Line is estimated by the outside world, and the total value of the United Cinema Line is not much of 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although this money is not really in his own hands, after all, it is worth so much, and the background is also very strong.
In Li Mingbao's previous thoughts, the final value of United Cinemas may reach a height of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars, and it still needs to be the most prosperous time for Hong Kong films to be valued by the outside world, but as soon as Hong Kong films decline, such an appraisal is easy to dive, because Hong Kong's local market cannot support such a huge industry scale, unless it is a purely financial thing, it does not require too much local manpower and material resources, otherwise, other industries in Hong Kong will be somewhat restricted. That is, a limited number of industries may be able to exceed the scale of 10 billion Hong Kong dollars, and ordinary industries cannot reach such a height in terms of total volume.
But if the development direction of the United Cinema Line is the whole of East Asia, then even if the United Cinema Line does not have any overseas cinemas and cinema chains, relying solely on the ability of circulation, its value of tens of billions is a sure thing, and it will not make outsiders feel inflated.
It is difficult to reflect such a thing as strategic value in the general industry. Even if the United Cinema Line controlled the local market in Hong Kong before, the strategic value is not very high, because Hong Kong is too weak, no matter how obvious the geographical advantage is, it cannot cover all industries, and no one will agree with the strategic value of something as narrow as a movie.
But now, if Hong Kong films are built into a circulation port for the entire East Asia, then the Hong Kong local market has actually become a symbol, rather than a narrow Hong Kong market in the actual sense. No one can calculate how much of this increase is right now, because that number is so huge. You must know that the box office results in Southeast Asia are also counted, but in some special regions, their box office results are really high.
The Asian Tigers are now active in the era, Hong Kong itself occupies one of the positions, and other places, such as Japan, that place is to have money and population, basically nothing is lacking, and even once it was about to hit the position of the first economy, when it comes to money, it is really not bad for money.
Although South Korea has a smaller population, their box office results can be regarded as more than Hong Kong now, and the second box office in East Asia is definitely not a joke. As for Hong Kong's local box office, although the results are very good, it can only be regarded as the third place, and then places like Taiwan and Singapore are also very good. Even in Southeast Asia, their box office performance is better than that of later generations, so this year is the happiest year at the box office.
There are too many benefits, so that the sixth uncle is not very good at calculating how much benefit they can get from this circulation port, at this time, the sixth uncle simply forgot that he was still very unwilling to participate in Li Mingbao's plan before, if he really wants to do it according to Li Mingbao, maybe the money he makes in the film industry is more exaggerated than the money he made on TVB, and it can become his first economic fulcrum.
Even the sixth uncle regrets it a little now, if he had decisively won Zou Wenhuai at the beginning, instead of being distracted by the TV station, maybe Li Mingbao's plan now could become his plan, and the return he brought to himself would definitely not be worse than the TV station. And with so many movie theaters, even if his own movies are not good, just doing the cinema business can make him countless Hong Kong dollars. Of course, the sixth uncle is also thinking about the prospects.
There is no regret medicine in this world, and even if there is regret medicine, Uncle Six will not have such a high achievement after eating it, it is very simple, Uncle Sixth is not Li Mingbao, he made such a whimsical idea as Li Mingbao, so he honestly followed Li Mingbao to make money, which is the best choice.
"Li Sheng, I still need you to come up with more ideas about Hong Kong movies in the future, we guys are old and rigid in our thinking. Some can't keep up with the times, and if the Hong Kong film industry is helmed by young people like you, maybe the future will be even more brilliant, which is a normal thing.
Uncle Six, one of the most correct decisions I have made in my life is to support Li Sheng and you to enter the film circle, with you in the circle, the world of Hong Kong will become more exciting. When Uncle Sixth said such things, it basically means that he is looking forward to Li Mingbao in the film industry. Even the struggle for power and profit in the theater, Uncle Six does not plan to continue to do it.
Including the management of the cinema, Uncle Six didn't want to continue to support him at this time. Because he knows that his vision is not at the same level as Li Mingbao, if he works against Li Mingbao on management issues, it is equivalent to throwing the money that could have been obtained into the sea in vain, which is absolutely not allowed to happen to the sixth uncle who is bent on making money. Even when necessary, the sixth uncle doesn't mind giving his subordinates a tearful slash, so that maybe he can get more favor from Li Mingbao, and if there is anything good in the future, he can immediately think of his sixth uncle.
The sixth uncle opened his mouth to show his loyalty, and the actions of several other people were not slow, even people with a strong desire to control like Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun all supported Li Mingbao's actions in this regard, at least on the issue of the United Cinema Line. Because they know that these wild ideas are not something they can control, since they can't play high-end things, it's also a good idea to make money with high-end people.
Of course, in fact, Li Mingbao's proposal for this circulation port is not completely harmless, at least this is a relatively uncomfortable decision for Hong Kong filmmakers. With people from all walks of life entering Hong Kong, the competitive pressure of Hong Kong's local film industry has also increased by a lot of grades.
If local filmmakers don't work hard enough, then they will only have one end, that is, they will be completely defeated by people from the outside world and become loose individuals, not associations, just like after the collapse of the Hong Kong film industry in the future, although there are many powerful people who live better than before, people like Wu Xing are also a very popular group in Hollywood, and those stars can also mix quite well by relying on the mainland.
But that's good, in fact, it's not the achievements of Hong Kong films themselves, but the brilliance of those individuals, and the Hong Kong film industry has not improved at all. Therefore, the industry's ability to influence is not as good as a year.
For the sixth uncle, whether the Hong Kong film industry develops or not does not have a great impact on them, because after the establishment of the circulation port, each of them will be able to get rid of the identity of the Hong Kong film boss, as long as there are shares of the United Cinema Line, they can not be regarded as Hong Kong film bosses in the pure sense, but can be regarded as the most influential film bosses in the whole East Asia.
At that time, whether it was the sixth uncle or Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun or the Xiang brothers, including Li Mingbao himself, their identities would be quite detached, and they would not suffer too much from the decline of Hong Kong's local films, as long as the United Cinema Line could operate well, it was not a movie made by Hong Kong people, wouldn't it also make the same money? Hong Kong's local filmmakers' films are thriving, and they can also gain benefits, and they have a basis for advancing and retreating, and they can't lose anything anyway.
Therefore, the prosperity and decline of local films are not too directly related to these bosses, Hong Kong people can't use them, can't they use foreigners? As long as the concept of Hong Kong's circulation port does not collapse, they will not be in any danger, and they will not even be in any danger than before, and they will not even be able to guard their own one-third of an acre of land than before, which is completely two concepts.
Uncle Six's kindness is what Li Mingbao urgently needs now, after all, whether the concept of the circulation port can be completely realized depends not on others, but on whether he really has the ability to control the United Cinema Line, and now the sixth uncle They have completely handed over the full strength of the operation to themselves, and the United Cinema Line will be the engine of the circulation port, there will be no problems, and all the development will follow his own mind, which is simply to directly clear any obstacles for Li Mingbao, so that he can directly reach the end point.
Li Mingbao naturally has to show more concepts, at least to point out the additional benefits that everyone can get after getting out of the circulation port.
"In fact, the stock thing, making money is just a hammer deal, for everyone here, the living money in hand is not much help. In fact, there are more places that United Cinemas can use, such as selling box office? For those movies that want to be released in United Cinemas and achieve good sales results, we can also come up with some intimate services, on the basis of not a big problem, the box office of some movies is artificially raised a little bit, such as the box office of 29 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office of a little more than 30 million, the price difference in the sales port is not half a star. Of course, we can't go too far in this regard, and it's easy to smash the signboard.
The operating space of commercial films is not large, but the operating space of literary and artistic films is very optimistic. Especially for those literary films that are aspiring to win awards, wouldn't it be much better if the company behind them was willing to spend money and achieve a bumper harvest at the box office and art? In this regard, our operating space is very large, after all, compared with commercial films, the box office increases by one or two million, and there is not much profit.
But for literary films, the box office will increase by one or two million, and the gap is quite obvious. Li Mingbao said with a wicked smile.
