Taiwan's political circles do not have a very good impression of Li Mingbao, even if Taiwanese films need Li Mingbao, they will not bend down, after all, the Taiwan market is not bad, Li Mingbao is big, but not to the point of ignoring the Taiwan market. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoSo even if the relationship between Taiwan and Li Mingbao is cold, it doesn't have much impact on the film industry.

Assistant Wang is gone, which is a good thing for Taiwanese filmmakers, after all, the official people are present, and everyone will not be too happy. Because these people are not official, and those masters of military education films are completely different things, they don't pay much attention to politics, but to money. And everyone knows that the relationship between Taiwan and Li Mingbao is not very good, there is an official person here, everyone can't let go of the conversation, and now there are only insiders left, so it is easy to say a lot.

So along the way, everyone talked and laughed, and talked more happily. Of course, the content of the conversation cannot be too in-depth, just a brief discussion of the development of the film industry, and everyone is also a little envious and jealous of Hong Kong for being able to make a circulation port.

Don't blame them, after all, everyone can see the benefits of circulating port, Hong Kong films rely on this policy, which is already much ahead of Taiwan's film industry, and with this policy, it will directly throw Taiwan to the ground. You must know that Taiwan's film industry was not much different from Hong Kong's film industry at the beginning, and even for a period of time, Taiwan's film industry was even better than Hong Kong's.

But over the past few decades, Taiwanese films have been declining more and more, while Hong Kong films have suddenly burst into new flashes. One is advancing rapidly and the other is steadily retreating, and if the people in Taiwan do not have the slightest idea, it will be completely unreasonable. In particular, when Hong Kong's innate foundation is incomparable with Taiwan's, this makes the Taiwan side even more unhappy.

But if you are unhappy, you can't blame Hong Kong for running too fast, and your family knows about your own family, and everyone knows what is going on. But it was only when I clearly understood that it was impossible to catch up with Hong Kong. Later. It is not an unpredictable thing for people in the industry in Taiwan to rely on Hong Kong to eat.

So even though there were some complaints in their hearts, when facing Li Mingbao, everyone still put out their smiling faces. Who can't get along with, can't you get along with money, can't you? Hong Kong has made a fortune, and if Taiwan is closer to each other and shares some profits, it is not impossible, because everyone is Chinese, and compared with foreigners, they have an inherent advantage.

After the group got off the bus, Li Mingbao found that the reception banquet for himself was actually put in the Taoyuan Hotel, the history of this hotel is quite not short, and the political significance is strong, and the conditions for many bells and other conditions are down, of course, the charges in this place are not cheap. For people in the Taiwanese film industry, such a meal, or the itinerary for the next few days are arranged here, which is not a small burden.

But since everyone else is full of fists, if Li Mingbao doesn't go in, he will be slapped in the face, so even if he knows that these people are slapping his swollen face and becoming fat, Li Mingbao can only enter the hotel with a smile with everyone.

When he entered the specific box, Li Mingbao found that the scale of this welcome luncheon was quite large, with three large tables, at least thirty or forty people could sit, and the number of people was full.

Seeing Li Mingbao looking at the environment, Li Hanxiang on the side whispered to Li Mingbao: "Hou Shengzi, don't you think it's a bit of a fuss?" The industry people in Taiwan are not having a good time, and it is a bit of a waste to come to the Taoyuan Hotel. Your idea is good, but you also have to look at who the people who pay for it today are, there is no money to make movies, but people who do theaters have a lot of money in their hands. There are also some half-way people, they are also very redundant, so this scene is not big, after all, there are a lot of people who rely on you to eat, you finally came to visit, if they are not well entertained, the reputation is really not good. ”

Hearing Li Hanxiang's explanation, Li Mingbao understood why he was entertained today, and the people who paid for his feelings in the Taoyuan Hotel were those who were in the theater chain, so it made sense, people in the general film industry are all bitter in Taiwan haha, please Li Mingbao here, the burden is quite large. Only these guys who do theaters are really rich people, please eat and live here, for them, it is completely a piece of cake, as long as their movies continue to be released in Taiwan, they can earn it back.

Li Mingbao can't look down on Taiwan's box office results, in fact, there are many reasons, there are political reasons, there are also reasons for making money, and most of the reasons for making money are in these theaters.

To say that the Taiwan film market is actually a rather strange place, in this market, the current years and months. Whether to make money or not, the decisive factor is not the box office results at all, maybe the box office performance of a movie is very ideal, but the production company is losing money, and it is not uncommon to lose money with investment.

This kind of thing may be a bit incredible in Hong Kong, but it is too normal in Taiwan. Because in Taiwan's film industry, there is actually only one place that really makes money, and that is the theater chain. In other links, whether it is a distribution company, an investor, or an actor, there will not be much money to be made, and it can only be said that you will not die of hunger.

The most fundamental reason for this situation is that in Taiwan's theaters, stealing the box office is completely a common practice, or a common practice. No matter whose movie it is, or which company's movie it is, even if it has a back. Jing's company, the box office of their movies, can only depend on the strength of their own company, whether it is stronger than the theater chain, only in this way can they recoup their capital and make a small profit. If you want to make a lot of money, you have to see whether the theater agrees or not.

At this point, whether it is a local company in Taiwan, or a Hong Kong company, Uncle Liu, or Golden Harvest, including Princess Jin, their movies in Taiwan, the money they make depends on whether they are familiar with the theater chain in the end, if they are familiar, they can share a little box office, and everyone will continue to cooperate in the future. It's not like nothing like this has never happened.

Li Mingbao is an insider, and he knows how deep the water is. To be honest, there is no shortage of audiences in Taiwan's film market. No matter how short it is, tens of millions of people are always more than the population of Hong Kong, right? The proportion of moviegoers in Taiwan and Hong Kong is actually about the same. However, Taiwan's population base is not comparable to that of Hong Kong. Under such circumstances, the number of people watching movies in Taiwan is actually at least one or two times more than in Hong Kong.

But it is such a moviegoer, the box office of the same movie in Taiwan is often not comparable to the box office in Hong Kong. Isn't that surprising? Where did the extra audience go?

Stealing the box office is a big problem for the current global market, even in the North American market, it is impossible to completely eliminate it, but it is actually rare in the world to steal the box office to such a strange place as Taiwan. Many of Li Mingbao's movies have been released in Taiwan, if it is according to the normal box office sharing, in fact, Li Mingbao's money in Taiwan will not be much worse than that in Hong Kong, even if his share ratio decreases, but with Taiwan's viewing base, he will get more funds than Hong Kong.

But the actual situation is that although Li Mingbao has made money in Taiwan, the money earned by each movie is several grades worse than that in Hong Kong, which is not a small problem of one or two million Hong Kong dollars, but involves tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars. But these were the money that Li Mingbao should have obtained, but they disappeared without a trace, and they cheapened others for nothing. It's just one or two times, but every time it's like this, every time Li Mingbao gets money in the Taiwan market, it's only a few million Hong Kong dollars. Until now, there have been no exceptions, and it would be strange if Li Mingbao had any good impression of Taiwan.

Where does all the money go? Li Mingbao knows that every movie theater in the theater chain steals at least 70% of the box office, and every time it is like this, if Li Mingbao doesn't know who took his own money, he is a fool. With his movies released in Japan and South Korea, there are full houses, and the duration is not short, but in the Taiwan market, Nima and Li Mingbao have never seen a movie theater with an attendance rate of more than 80%. Is this scientific? Not scientific, of course.

And this is not the most unscientific, the most unscientific is his movie, the attendance rate of twenty or thirty percent of the time is swinging, which can basically account for two-thirds of the time of the entire movie. If it is in Hong Kong, there is no problem with a movie with an attendance rate of 20 or 30 percent. But his movies are in Taiwan, even if it is such an attendance rate, it can last for several months, if there are no ghosts in it, Li Mingbao is really an idiot.

But Li Mingbao can't say these things, he still has to smile and greet the bosses of these theaters, not only him, but also the sixth uncle Zou Wenhuai. Although there are many companies in Taiwan's cinema chains, even local companies have never given face to the issue of attendance, let alone outsiders from Hong Kong. may have some compensation agreements with the film company in private, but these agreements have nothing to do with Li Mingbao at all.

If that's all there is to it, Li Mingbao doesn't bother to complain, the key is that one week before the release of Taiwan's military education films, it is absolutely 100% attendance per show, and it lasts for a week, even if in fact there are not one or two people watching such a movie at all, but the attendance rate is on the report, and there is absolutely no problem at all.

And this kind of situation, at least until outsiders control Taiwan's cinema chains, will some things that have no value in data be released in some aspects. And now, Taiwan's market is still controlled by those greedy theaters, and even Li Mingbao has no way to fight back.
