Chapter 372: As a Boss

readx;

To elaborate on the circulation port plan, it is a rather large framework, and under this framework, there is still a lot of realistic filling, and if you really want to finish all this plan, it will not take an hour or two to explain it completely. www.biquge.info And Li Mingbao and Li Mingbao obviously don't have that much time now, so Li Mingbao and the two of them will make a long story short, and directly talk about how much benefit this circulation port project will bring to Hong Kong if it is successful.

And these words are what the Governor really cares about. As the Governor of Hong Kong, he does not need to pay special attention to a certain project, the details are not important to him, he just needs to know what will be beneficial to Hong Kong after completing the project, and this is enough. Li Mingbao and Uncle Sixth obviously understood the Hong Kong Governor's thoughts, so they talked about the benefits of the circulation port project, but as for what to do, they didn't say much, and it was almost the same.

When Li Mingbao and the others spent five minutes talking about the affairs of the circulation port, the Hong Kong Governor was very interested, of course, at this time, there was not much time before the opening ceremony cut the ribbon. So even if the Hong Kong Governor is very interested, at this time he has to ask the sixth uncle to talk next time, and then he and Li Mingbao and their party walked to the front of the stage to prepare for the ribbon cutting, before the ribbon cutting, the Hong Kong governor also made an enthusiastic talk, and this talk, You De was not prepared to talk for a long time, and the content was quite average, but after he really came to the stage, You De was more enthusiastic than when the sixth uncle invited him before, which not only affirmed the significance of the establishment of the United Cinema Line, but also affirmed the achievements of Hong Kong film development. Moreover, the Hong Kong government has the ability and confidence to protect such a green industry.

Obviously, the Hong Kong Governor's words are a way of affirming the idea of circulating Hong Kong that Uncle Six and Li Mingbao said before, otherwise, he would not have said so much, just going through the motions, and would not have said too practical things. At this time, the Hong Kong governor was no longer interested in pursuing Li Mingbao's investment in the mainland.

I wanted to investigate it before, but it was because Li Mingbao couldn't bring him much benefit, so I would like to show the attitude of the Hong Kong government and let Li Mingbao not be too presumptuous. But with such a plan as a circulation port, it is obvious that the benefits brought by Li Mingbao are more attractive than his disadvantages, so You will not put aside his political achievements, and have to catch some unnecessary things. After all, You has to be the governor of Hong Kong, although he is also British, but the position he is sitting in now makes his attitude naturally friendly to Hong Kong.

It is not that he likes Hong Kong very much, but that if Hong Kong develops greatly during his term of office, it will be of great benefit to his political life. If Hong Kong is good, he can be good, and if Hong Kong is not good, he will not be better. Politicians will not judge the concept of trade-offs because of some likes and dislikes, and important things are always interests.

When the Hong Kong Governor affirmed the film industry on stage, Li Mingbao also felt that this time it was a bit of a fluke. If he hadn't made a plan for the screening system of the United Cinema Line immediately after he came back, which led to the idea of a circulation port, it would obviously not be easy for him to pass the customs so easily. Fortunately, although the means of social communication in his mind are relatively weak, there is no problem with new ideas, or brain-openings, and the vision beyond the times, so that he can easily find some more suitable paths for himself, so that some troubles are far away from him, so as not to be forced into a corner every time.

The political problems on the side of the Hong Kong government, because of the affairs of the circulation port, I am afraid that it will be much easier to deal with in the future, and now the only political problem that Li Mingbao encounters is only the Wanwan side, and Li Mingbao does not care much about the attitude of the Wanwan side, because his interests are not big in the Wanwan, if it is really not good, the impact on Li Mingbao is relatively small, and it is not a big deal, and the Wanwan side is neither a county official nor the current management, and the threat to Li Mingbao is not big. And he himself is not a person who is keen on politics, and some political problems have little impact on his business. If Wanwan is really so careful, it will be them who will suffer in the end, so this initiative is actually in Li Mingbao's hands now.

But if there is room for salvation over there, and Li Mingbao is not stingy with investment, it depends on how the other side chooses.

After the opening ceremony of the United Cinema Line, Li Mingbao's urgent work was temporarily done, and for a long time after that, he did not need to work hard. But it's not that Li Mingbao doesn't have anything to do in his hands, the few projects he has started now are all big projects, whether it is investment in the mainland, cooperation with CCTV, plus the development of other industries, it takes a lot of energy, plus Hollywood in the United States, Li Mingbao also has to have one or two movies from time to time, at least he can't let his name disappear quickly in Hollywood, so it will be a loss.

In addition, the work of Hong Kong's local circulation port is not a small project, and if you really want to talk about it, there is quite a lot of work in Li Mingbao's hands. Fortunately, in such a big project, the most important thing to do is to work together, Li Mingbao can't do it well alone, if you want to do things well, you must do things together, and the things that are assigned to Li Mingbao's hands are less. And these things can be delegated to deal with, and it is not very urgent, so after the opening ceremony of the United Cinema Line, Li Mingbao relaxed and rested for two or three days before starting the project.

For the time being, Li Mingbao does not need to handle much of the work on the mainland and the United States, and there are relevant people there to check the work, and only some documents that need to be signed by Li Mingbao himself will be sent by fax, and Li Mingbao will just put pen to paper.

And the things in Hong Kong can be described as a thousand things, Li Mingbao has a lot to do, whether it is the planning of the circulation port, or the regulations on the film classification system, Li Mingbao needs to help formulate, these things are all big things, and they need to be carefully considered. And Li Mingbao's old business also needs Li Mingbao to move. The movies in his hand, during the Chinese New Year in '83, were screened in a batch, although the income was quite considerable, but the problem is that after that time, Li Mingbao has been almost half a year now, and he has not personally started filming a movie, not even about the planning of the movie, to put it simply, the current Li Mingbao has more time to be the boss than to make movies, just like the current sixth uncle and Zou Wenhuai, they have not made films in person for many years. This is really not a competent performance for a film director.

Of course, in fact, Li Mingbao has not been a director once since he started his first movie and has become famous now, and every time he makes a movie, he is a producer. But I have to say that Li Mingbao's previous movies have a lot of ideas in Li Mingbao, and it is not too much to say that he is half a director.

For the title, Li Mingbao doesn't care, he doesn't touch movies for most of the year, and the problem for Li Mingbao is not only incompetent, but more importantly, Li Mingbao's income in the movie has decreased a lot.

A very important reason why Li Mingbao was able to change from a penniless little guy to the current big boss in three or four years is that Li Mingbao's movies are very profitable, basically his current high worth is supported by the movie box office, in addition to the movie box office, Li Mingbao's other income is quite rare for his movie box office income.

And now the only place where he can earn at the box office is DreamWorks in Hollywood, and he still earns dollars, and he has a group of regular customers, which looks very good. But for Li Mingbao, the income of DreamWorks cannot be moved casually, because DreamWorks now needs to develop vigorously, in order to make more money tomorrow, most of the current profits need to continue to be invested in construction, so Li Mingbao wants to get cash on DreamWorks, although it is not impossible, but the money that can be obtained now is very small.

That is to say, in the first half of '83, Li Mingbao basically didn't have much income, but he invested a lot, he had a thick foundation and could hold on, but it was not a good model. Therefore, Li Mingbao's work in Hong Kong, after completing the existing projects, must immediately open his own movies to maintain a balance between income and expenditure, otherwise, his current foundation will be hollowed out sooner or later, although there will be no problems with the assets under his name, but if there is no cash, many of his ideas may not be realized, for the current Li Mingbao, being a boss is the way to go, but being a filmmaker is also something that must be done.

So in the second half of the entire '83 years, Li Mingbao's real rest time will not be too much, and after finishing the project, he has to make his own movies to make money, otherwise his financial statements for '83 will be a series of red letters, and the investment will not make much money.

After Li Mingbao officially started working after the break, the first thing to do was not a big project, nor a big plan, nor a script writing to make money, but to make a relatively big adjustment to the existing management of United Cinema Line.

The adjustment of the management of United Cinema Line is definitely the most important thing for Li Mingbao now. Compared with the circulation port later, there are various other ideas, the management of the United Cinema Line is the top priority, Li Mingbao will only have the beauty of flowers after making the management his most convenient tool, otherwise, no matter how many things Li Mingbao takes out, he will make wedding dresses for others.

This management right, Li Mingbao wants to be more than a day or two. When he first acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas, Li Mingbao wanted to move this thing, but unfortunately the sixth uncle at that time was very dissatisfied with Li Mingbao's actions to the cinema line so quickly. Although at that time, Li Mingbao had already acquired the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line and had the right to do such a thing.

But having the right to do such a thing does not mean that it will actually be done. Because he had two mountains in his hands at that time, one was that Li Mingbao did not have qualified theater management talents in his hands, from the macro management above to the managers of the theaters below, he did not have a talent in his hands.

Another reason is that while he acquired the Shaw Brothers Cinemas, he also brought in Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, although it seems that a joint cinema chain will dominate the rivers and lakes, but in fact, things are not so easy. On the issue of managing the United Cinema Line, Uncle Six and Zou Wenhuai reached a tacit agreement, so that Li Mingbao, the nominal major shareholder, could not move at all。.。
