Chapter 247: Breaking through Jiahe's fortress
Zou Wenhuai can easily get some useful information from Li Mingbao's words, such as Li Mingbao's creativity, even in the world, is an advanced thing. Regardless of whether this is Li Mingbao blowing water, but at least Zou Wenhuai knows that Hollywood does not have such an idea, at least he doesn't know.
And the information I got later was that if he didn't agree to Li Mingbao's conditions now and insisted on going it alone, then if his company didn't do well in the future, and then negotiated the conditions with Li Mingbao, then Li Mingbao would definitely slaughter him fiercely, which would be equivalent to a threat. Zou Wenhuai has not been threatened many times, but it is not a few, and even when he was threatened by Li Mingbao, there were a few times, so Zou Wenhuai still has a certain immunity to such a threat, but it does not prevent him from taking this threat seriously. After all, judging from the previous contacts, Li Mingbao's threats are all effective, otherwise it would be impossible to deal with such a big thing as the United Cinema Line.
But if he was threatened by Li Mingbao like this, then Zou Wenhuai would not be Zou Wenhuai, so after listening to Li Mingbao's words, Zou Wenhuai said with a smile: "Li Sheng, how can you think that the company we got from Jiahe will definitely not be able to get your company?" You know, as long as your brokerage company is established, then the corresponding articles of association must be taken out.
Creativity is easy to be copied by others, especially such a idea, it is very easy for us to get a copy of Golden Harvest. When the time comes, according to your charter, do you think we Jiahe will not be able to do such a simple thing? ”
"I admit that creativity is easy to imitate, and this is not difficult for you Golden Harvest. But after my company is really established, even if you want to imitate, there is no room for imitation. You must know that this kind of company needs to be creative, but the next thing is to need a brand.
This is just like your Golden Harvest Company, if you shoot a movie, no matter how bad it is, there will be people who will come to see it, although in the end they may not pay for it, but they will also sell your Golden Harvest face.
But if it is a company that is not well-known and makes a good movie, they have a big disadvantage in terms of channels alone, and those overseas film companies may not even watch their films, so they refuse their requests. In fact, this matter can also be planned to be a brand issue.
And as someone who has successfully run the content of a brokerage company, I have a great advantage in opening a brokerage company. Even if my signboard is just played, when others hear my name, they will know that I am the Li Mingbao who helped Yongsheng earn advertising money on the movie. Although you Golden Harvest is also a large company, there has never been a successful case before, and the advantages are not obvious.
In addition, after I set up the company, I will definitely make a famous plan and quickly make my own fame. In this way, others will recognize my brand more, as for you Golden Harvest, others will recognize it when making movies, but others may not recognize something as new as an agent company.
Besides, when it comes to advantages, you Golden Harvest actually don't have many advantages. The real development of the brokerage company actually depends on its employees. The more actors, the greater the advantage, and now how many actors can you Golden Harvest can handle? In addition to the first-line stars, there are several people who know other actors.
If you don't have enough people, others will think that your company is not strong. Unless it's a specific business, it's very difficult for you to do anything else. Because you don't have enough men on your hands.
In this industry, the emphasis is on the size of the all-take-all, large companies want to crush small companies, it is very easy, the gap between the first and second, is not only the ranking on the surface, the actual income will also be greatly affected by this aspect. It's like an Olympic champion, everyone knows who gets the gold medal, but who knows who gets the silver? Brokerage companies, in fact, also follow such a law. Li Mingbao explained to Zou Wenhuai.
"But Li Sheng, you don't have any actors in your hands now? You have no confidence when you say this! Zou Wenhuai said slowly to Li Mingbao.
"That's why I have to deal with Uncle Six first, only if I get Uncle Six, my brokerage company will open, if I can't get Uncle Six, my brokerage company will definitely not open, rather than letting others take advantage, it's a big deal that no one wants to make money." Anyway, I'm not very short of money, during this time, I can get hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars from the box office income of Hong Kong alone, plus the income from selling ports, there are also one or two hundred million Hong Kong dollars. My company in the U.S. has also made a lot of films.
Although the box office of a single movie is not high, the box office of each movie is about 10 million US dollars, and some movies may reach a box office of 20 million US dollars, but the accumulation of small amounts is not small, and I make a lot of money, not to mention that such a movie, the cost is low, and the actual profit is not low, so why should I be afraid of missing a way to make money? Li Mingbao said confidently.
Don't look at Li Mingbao who spends most of his time in Hong Kong, but in fact, most of Li Mingbao's income is basically produced by Hollywood. Whether it is the box office of the first part of "Home Alone" or the copyright behind it, this is Li Mingbao's real confidence. If Li Mingbao was just mixing in Hong Kong, where could he get so much money in such a short period of time, and the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas alone would be able to squeeze Li Mingbao's pockets dry.
And Li Mingbao has made such a leap forward in Hong Kong, and he has relied on the income of the United States to maintain a large part of the money that he does not use for money. And when DreamWorks was founded, the horror film directors who dug up have now all become Li Mingbao's cash cows.
In the past, not many people may have cared about this type of movie, but since the establishment of DreamWorks, some films produced on a continuous assembly line, such as the series of movies such as "Ghost Street", have recently achieved unimaginable success in North America.
Although movies in this category have not been on the box office charts, because they have a particularly determined niche audience, they are quite good in terms of revenue. And this type of movie has been a success on the big screen, and the sales of video tapes are also very popular.
It can even be said that the real big part of this kind of movie is actually on the videotape, and the movie with a box office of about 10 million can be obtained on the big screen, so the videotape can be sold for at least 20 or 30 million, which is only the North American market, not counting Europe.
Because Li Mingbao knew the madness of this kind of movie on videotape, before DreamWorks started, Li Mingbao entrusted Jiang Zhiqiang to buy a video company, which not only has a complete video infusion factory, but also a sales channel covering North America. Of course, there are many such companies in Hollywood, and there are many companies that are on the verge of bankruptcy without a good video license, so in this regard, plus the company's land and factory equipment, as well as a full set of personnel, Li Mingbao only spent five million US dollars at the beginning, and because he created employment opportunities, he obtained a certain amount of anti-tax.
In this way, don't look at how long DreamWorks has not been in business, but the actual profit is not low, at least Li Mingbao has more than 50 million US dollars in his account in the United States, which is still the income when some money has not been recovered. Although it is not as profitable as making a blockbuster, it is not comparable to the income of "Home Alone". But it's also a trickle, and those horror film directors have a lot of good ideas in their heads.
In the past, there was no company to give them freedom, but now that Li Mingbao is the boss, they can make any kind of ghost movie they want, which is quite comfortable, and Li Mingbao also gives those directors a very good salary.
Of course, because DreamWorks' recent films are all niche movies of this kind, the mainstream outside world does not give DreamWorks a high evaluation, and there is even a different nickname for the ghost processing factory. If such a nickname were heard by someone who built DreamWorks in the future, he might be so angry that he would vomit blood.
With a steady stream of income from the United States, Li Mingbao has quite enough confidence when he talks about these things, and even Zou Wenhuai has no way to refute Li Mingbao's words, he knows that Li Mingbao has made a lot of money in Hong Kong recently, and DreamWorks was established by Li Mingbao, which is not a secret to Zou Wenhuai and other bigwigs.
"So, Li Sheng, are you an empty glove white wolf? Uncle Six's current appearance, it is obvious that he doesn't approve of you doing this, if he really doesn't agree, will you really not open this brokerage company? If you have money to make, why should you hurt everyone's harmony? "There are many ways to make money than Li Mingbao, and Golden Harvest's profit point is actually only in movies.
Li Mingbao's new thing, Li Mingbao can not care, but Jiahe can't not care, if Li Mingbao really doesn't do this thing, although he can also do it himself, but he doesn't know the market at all, Zou Wenhuai knows that this will definitely not last long, so in the case of Li Mingbao's hard anger, Zou Wenhuai's tone can't help but soften.
"So in order to put pressure on Uncle Six, I'll come to you, Boss Zou. Although Boss Zou doesn't have many resources available, if he agrees to give me the contract now, after the company is established, Boss Zou's treatment can be the same as that of the sixth uncle. You must know that the resources in the hands of the sixth uncle are not comparable to Boss Zou, if you pass this village, there may not be this store next time. Li Mingbao said with a smile.
After hearing Li Mingbao's words, Zou Wenhuai said after communicating with He Guanchang: "Okay, our Jiahe will give Li Sheng you publicity in the next time, and let the sixth uncle decide as soon as possible." But Li Sheng, you have to guarantee that our treatment in the future will not be worse than that of the wireless side. ”
