Chapter 347: This is the best of times

readx;

It was Li Mingbao who understood the twists and turns, so Li Mingbao didn't dare to accept the proposal that the old chief said before. www.biquge.info If you want to make the mainland's film market vibrant, the most important thing is that you need to make the film studios vibrant. And in order to make the film studio become vibrant, there is only one way to go, that is, we must give them hope, that is, the treatment must be negotiated, not to mention that every factory will become rich, but at least it needs to be able to solve the wage problem.

Although it may seem like an easy thing to do, the problem is actually not so simple. If we want to solve the problem of wages in film studios, it is necessary to break the current situation in which the main source of income for film studios is to rely on appropriations from the higher levels, truly marketize film studios, eliminate a group of people, and promote a group of people.

This first step alone is something that completely offends people. At a time when there was no such thing as laid-off, Li Mingbao wanted to engage in marketization, and he could immediately force a large number of people to the opposite side of himself, and it was unknown whether the old chief could still help Li Mingbao withstand the pressure. So just what Li Mingbao wants to do in the first step is difficult, and solving the problem of the first step does not mean that he can make money immediately, and Li Mingbao has to pull movies for major film studios, this is the most important thing, the movies that can make money, Li Mingbao himself has made them, why should he share the profits of these film studios? This is completely pulling the meat in his own pot into someone else's bowl, no matter how selfless Li Mingbao is, he will not play like this.

So Li Mingbao would rather just get an access permit, than rather touch those troublesome things, really not a thing that two people can do, if Li Mingbao can cover all the problems, he is not a person, but a superman, how good is it to save the earth directly?

Fortunately, now Li Mingbao only gets an access permit, and in this case, Li Mingbao is much easier to operate, because he does not have to pay for domestic film studios, but will get great benefits.

"The problem of the domestic film market is indeed a big trouble. But it is precisely because of the recession of the domestic film market that there will be room for us to operate! If the domestic film market can be like Hollywood, then I'm still playing a fart, how good is it to eat directly? Compared with a place like Hollywood where everything is mature, I think that a virgin land like the mainland has a lot of room for development.

I remember a story about two companies that sold shoes, and they both sent their salespeople to Africa to start a business. The salesperson of the first shoe company went to Africa once, and immediately came back and told his company boss that there was no market for shoes in Africa, because Africans don't wear shoes. How could he sell shoes in such a place?

But after the salespeople of the second company went to Africa, they immediately took root, big brother, do you know why? Li Mingbao asked his eldest brother.

Hearing that Li Mingbao pulled the topic to the shoes, Li Mingyao naturally didn't understand, so he said angrily: "How do I know? ”

"Because the salesperson of the second company thinks that this place is a completely untapped market, a place where no shoes are worn at all, if those people are allowed to wear shoes, how big is the market? What else could it be if it wasn't full of gold?

So, when we prepare something, we don't first have to look at the problem of the prosperity of the place, we first have to see if there is a market in the place. What is a market for the film industry? There is a market for someone. No one, like Hong Kong, has a population of five or six million at best, and no matter how developed the market is, just like the current Hong Kong films, no matter how well they do, as long as it is a large-investment film, it will not be able to recover the cost by relying on the Hong Kong market alone. If you want to make money, you have to sell ports.

But the continent is different, what is the population of the continent? That's a billion dollars. Even if there is no billion, 900 million people, compared with the population of Hong Kong, isn't the gap obvious enough?

Movies are a thing, there are talents at the box office, and with such a population in the mainland, it is not a problem for a slightly better movie to achieve great success. "Shaolin Temple" movie big brother, you know, right? ”

"I know, I heard that there is a box office of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars, and the results are quite good." Li Mingyao said naturally.

"Then do you know what the box office of "Shaolin Temple" is on the mainland? It is more than 160 million yuan. Li Mingbao said calmly.

"How much? More than 160 million RMB? Little Five, are you kidding? Such a box office is unimaginable! Li Mingyao said in amazement.

"If I tell you that the box office of more than 100 million yuan is piled up on a dime ticket, in such a situation, do you still think that the mainland film market has no potential?" Every time Li Mingbao thought of such data, he was quite speechless.

Compared with the current domestic population, such a box office is basically equivalent to everyone in the mainland entering the cinema at least once to watch this movie, and the number of people who watch this movie repeatedly is not less than half of the mainland population. If calculated according to the algorithm of South Korea's box office, it is basically equivalent to the number of viewers of the movie "Shaolin Temple" reaching more than 1.6 billion.

And this is not a complete statistics, because the mainland's film screening market does not count some rural screening teams, but only counts the number of screenings in theaters, and the number of screenings in the open air will definitely not be less than the number of screenings in cinemas. Therefore, the real actual number of moviegoers may be able to reach the total number of people in the world today. Thinking about the horror of such a number of screenings, it is no wonder that after the movie "Shaolin Temple" came out, there were many people who wanted to go to Shaolin Temple to learn martial arts.

And Li Lianjie's recognition in the mainland market will be so high. **The group of children born in the 10s and their parents, who don't know Li Lianjie, are definitely rare, that is, people born after zero, and they may not be very familiar with Li Lianjie. According to Li Lianjie's actual popularity, his value is even much higher than that of Chen Longdu.

That is, Li Lianjie's star path has not been planned, plus there is no boss to support him, or when the bosses see Li Lianjie's actual value, he will have already passed the most valuable stage, otherwise, Li Lianjie's worth is definitely an astronomical amount.

Although Li Mingbao only introduced a movie to Li Mingyao, from this movie, Li Mingyao can know how potential the mainland market is, even if he is not a professional. So for Li Mingbao to be so excited, Li Mingyao understands a little.

But Li Mingyao understands that for Li Mingbao, it is just a drop in the bucket. He didn't understand what Li Mingbao really cared about, it wasn't the small circle of movies at all. It is the entire entertainment market in the mainland, and the gold content in it can immediately smash the vast majority of film companies in the world, even if John of Twentieth Century Fox knows what kind of power Li Mingbao has obtained, he will be envious and jealous.

It is a pity that the mainland will not give such an access permit to real foreign companies, and now only Hong Kong people can taste this delicacy. But in history, Hong Kong people died by themselves, and in the end, no outsider ate cream on top of this big cake. But Li Mingbao is not a short-sighted person like Uncle Six and Zou Wenhuai, so Li Mingbao may be the only person who can really eat mainland cake outside the mainland.

For Li Mingbao, if he obtains the access permit now, the future road will immediately change from a sheep's intestine trail to 16 super highways, and the future is limitless. Even if it is just the layout of the film industry, Li Mingbao can earn the most generous returns on this.

You must know that the real capacity of the mainland film market is much larger than the real capacity. But it's a pity that at the beginning, the mainland's film market embarked on a deformed path, but even so, thirty years later, in the mainland, there will be films with a box office of more than one billion yuan, and it will become the second largest box office after North America.

Li Mingbao can change the direction of the mainland film market from now on, then the future of mainland films will definitely be broader, even surpassing the North American market, becoming the largest ticket warehouse, and there is no need to worry about the exchange rate, even if the RMB exchange rate is lower than the US dollar, relying on the number of mainlanders, it is not a dream to slaughter the North American market against the trend.

Li Mingbao understands very well that the current mainland film market is the worst era for the mainland's local film studios and theaters. But for investors like Li Mingbao, the current mainland market is definitely the best era.

Don't worry about other anti-sky movies to grab your own market, at the level of mainland films, it is obviously impossible to kill Li Mingbao's films. And foreign Hollywood movies can't enter the market at all now. Only Hong Kong films, people like Li Mingbao who have obtained a license, can take their films to the mainland to be screened, although if you want to make real money from such screenings, it takes a lot of time to negotiate with local functional departments, but as long as this opening is open, Li Mingbao does not think that these functional departments can do anything about their films.

If there is no other movie to grab the box office, and it is lucky that your movie is in a state of being in a state of excellence, then there is no such thing as VCD and DVD yet, which is equivalent to being possessed by Lady Luck.

A large part of the box office of the mainland film market was killed by piracy. Therefore, for the sake of the box office, mainland directors are all useful for keeping an eye on piracy, but the effect is not very good, and they can only hold it for a week at most. After that, it can only be laissez-faire, so after twenty or thirty years, the time for the mainland to really keep the box office is only seven days, or even less. And in such a difficult environment, there can still be a box office against the sky, which is a miracle...
