And the classification system, at least the current Hong Kong filmmakers have not realized it, so when the sixth uncle asked Li Mingbao on the phone if he could show bad movies, Li Mingbao temporarily agreed, but asked for strict control of the quantity. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info can't be too flooded.

Now after returning to Hong Kong, Li Mingbao feels that he should talk about the film screening system well, and things will be easier when there are rules. If there are no rules, the management of the United Cinema Line will be very chaotic at that time.

"They can show salty and wet films, but we can't show this kind of movies now, although there is a certain market for this kind of movies in Hong Kong. But the Electricity Inspection Bureau has cracked down on this kind of movie.

Although the Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest Golden Princess did not let go of this kind of movie before, but now it has been replaced by United Cinemas, and it is a bit inappropriate to show this type of movie. For the sake of the safety of the United Cinema Chain, these films that have not been screened cannot be screened. The tree is very popular, and now our joint cinema chain is already very hateful, if you do something out of the ordinary again, you may not be able to make people blush. After all, what we are doing now is basically equivalent to a monopoly, and the British will not let us Chinese too nourishing. Li Mingbao said.

"But this kind of movie is very profitable, is it too wasteful to give up like this? If we don't show or shoot, others will seize this part of the market, and if there are competitors because of this matter, it will be very disadvantageous for us. The Hong Kong market cannot represent the market of other places, and United Cinemas can only manage Hong Kong's local films, but it can't control the films in other regions. The sixth uncle said with some unfinished thoughts.

Li Mingbao also understood what Uncle Six meant. United Cinemas is indeed a monopoly in Hong Kong, but it does not mean that it is also a monopoly in other places, if you really want to say that, in addition to being very powerful in Hong Kong, United Cinemas can only rely on movies to control other places.

Especially people like Uncle Six and Zou Wenhuai, although Uncle Six is no longer able to make movies, the theaters he owns are not only Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers, in Southeast Asia and Taiwan, Uncle Six has his own movie theaters, these movie theaters, when the United Cinema Line was established, Li Mingbao did not gather together. Not because he doesn't have enough money, but because if he buys a movie theater outside Hong Kong, he won't be able to play it then.

Uncle Six can have a movie theater chain in other places, that's because Uncle Six, as a veteran tycoon, has his own influence both in Hong Kong and Southeast Asia, and there are not only Uncle Six who have such influence in Hong Kong, Zou Wenhuai can also be regarded as one. In the past, the three major cinema chains had the worst ability to take out the port, but there was actually only one golden princess.

This is why Princess Jin obviously can't keep up with the pace of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest in the later stage, because Princess Jin's boss Lei Juekun is not in good health, and there are also reasons why Princess Jin has no overseas distribution channels. The so-called overseas distribution channels, one is to have their own overseas theaters, which can affect the ideas of foreign film acquisition businessmen to a certain extent, so as not to eat black. Because even if they don't sell the movie to you, they themselves have channels overseas, and selling it to you is a win-win situation.

But Princess Jin didn't have such a good treatment, when Boss Lei got Princess Jin in Hong Kong, he wasted all his efforts, in this case, out of Hong Kong, if his movies want to sell money, he can only find overseas film companies, and his ability to restrain these overseas film companies is quite small, leaving a lot of room for those overseas film companies to operate.

So at first, Boss Lei was still interested in talking to those overseas filmmakers about sharing, but then he immediately understood that he would suffer too much in this way, and most of the profits went into the pockets of those overseas filmmakers, and he only had a little hard-earned money. So the movies behind Boss Lei are basically buyouts, and he will charge as much buyout money as he buys out at the price of a buyout in a certain area, whether it is a bad movie or a good movie, it is all in the form of a buyout. Although the revenue from this is much smaller than the profit from the ratio, even if it is a blockbuster.

But the problem is that Boss Lei's actual income in terms of sharing is even more losing, so he can only negotiate the price of the buyout, at least in this way, Boss Lei can really get the money. At a time when Hong Kong is relying more and more on selling port box office, the profits of Boss Lei's movies sold overseas are not as good as Golden Harvest, and even Shaw Brothers can't be compared, in such a situation, how can Boss Lei compete with these two companies? Originally, Boss Lei still wanted to make a big difference, but unfortunately his health was not good, and he finally faded out of this business.

Having said so much, in fact, the meaning to be expressed is very simple, for Sixth Uncle and Zou Wenhuai, their overseas theater chains are also part of the profits. If Li Mingbao is now because of the problem of joint cinemas, let them directly ban movies such as salty and wet films, it will be a great loss for them. After all, if you don't talk about its legitimacy, it is definitely a small investment and a big return.

Such a movie, you don't even need to look at how your script is, whether the plot is good or not, as long as the actresses in the movie are willing to spend the money and their own conditions are good, there is no reason why the movie can't return to the cost. If you think about how Japan will become one of the pillars of their economy by relying on this kind of film in the future, you can see how cheap and cost-effective this kind of movie is. You must know that Japan's industry-level industry is quite developed, and its economic situation can be regarded as a developed country.

But it is such a country, salty and wet movies can become the pillar of the economy, and all the high-tech chrysanthemums have been exploded, and it is easy to see the problems in this alone. So for Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest and even Princess Jin, it is certainly not in their interests to give up this genre film for the benefit of the United Cinema Chain. Hong Kong can't show this kind of movie, can't other places show this kind of movie, for the cause of Hong Kong, give up the profit growth point in other places, hot-blooded teenagers will not do such stupid things, let alone the old fox-like sixth uncle.

Li Mingbao knew that the interests in this were very complicated, so deep that the sixth uncle would not give up profits if they said anything. So when he said such a thing, his original intention was not to ask the sixth uncle to stop them, to be honest, Li Mingbao himself wanted to have the opportunity to go to Japan to acquire several famous film companies, which is equivalent to the eldest brother, not to mention the second brother, both of them are similar, they are both the same virtue, how can he restrain other people?

The reason why I said this question was just to lead to another question, so when Uncle Sixth clearly objected, and other people also agreed with Uncle Six's opinion, Li Mingbao said everything he wanted to say: "I know that this kind of film is very profitable, and I also know that Hong Kong can't control other places, but United Cinemas is absolutely not able to show this kind of movie now, Uncle Six, you don't want to be caught by the British government in Hong Kong, right?"

If Uncle Sixth you can turn this kind of movie into a legal movie, then I won't say anything, after all, I can't get along with anyone, and I can't get along with money, I also want to make a little more money, as long as it's legal money, what money can't be made? The point is that these kinds of films are not legal now. In the past, the British government in Hong Kong could turn a blind eye, but now it may not.

Only when the United Cinema Line does everything reasonable and legal, will there be a broader way out in the future, and small problems will be counted, such a big thing must not make mistakes, once it goes wrong, the consequences are hard to think. ”

"Legal movies? How can this type of film be legal? Li Sheng, you're embarrassing me. Hearing that Li Mingbao was not completely against this kind of movie, Uncle Sixth was relieved, but thinking that Li Mingbao said that this kind of movie should be legal, Uncle Sixth felt that it was too difficult. After all, he can't go against the public opinion of the whole society, and even if he has a good relationship with the British government in Hong Kong, this matter involving public opinion still needs to be quite cautious. Therefore, Li Mingbao's suggestion is equivalent to not saying it.

Seeing that the sixth uncle didn't understand what he meant, Li Mingbao had to take the initiative to remind: "Why can't it be legal?" Like Hollywood in the United States, as a model for global cinema, didn't they completely reject this kind of film? As long as you plan well, this kind of movie is not completely unpassable?

Even if this kind of movie is legal, it is still good news for you film company bosses, who used to need to be sneaky, and now they are directly screened in the open, isn't it good? ”

"You mean the grading system?" Zou Wenhuai asked first at this time. He is more familiar with Hollywood than Uncle Six, so as soon as Li Mingbao mentioned this matter, Zou Wenhuai immediately thought of the classification system.

If Hong Kong also has a film classification system, maybe there will really be a new way out for this matter. You know, what kind of movie you make is not as safe as making this kind of movie. Other movies still have the problem of losing money, but this kind of movie, as long as your investment is not too big, in fact, this kind of movie will not have a big investment, there is no meaning, even if you shoot other content no matter how exciting, the mainstream audience will not care too much, because they originally watched this type of movie, they didn't want to pick on the plot, and if they invest too much, it's just a waste. So in the case of a small investment, this kind of movie is basically equivalent to making a steady profit and not losing money, at most it is a matter of earning more and earning less (unless the heroine of a movie like you asks Sister Feng to play a strange thing, otherwise there is no risk at all, maybe even if it is a person like Sister Feng, there will be a strange person who likes to watch alternatives, who can explain it?) ）。。.。
