Chapter 374: I'll Support You
readx;?“ The temper is not small, if I support you, can you get the management of the United Cinema Line in the shortest possible time? Is there the right person in the right place? Do you dare to be cruel to those who do not listen to their calls? Lin Jie tempered, Li Mingbao said with a sigh of relief. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info chase the barren era, and you have to go on.
He is not afraid of Lin Jie's temper, because he knows that Lin Jie's temper is really devoted to the United Cinema Line, otherwise, he will get by and get the same salary, plus their background, for Li Mingbao, the boss, he actually doesn't need much identity, he can't find anything to do here in Li Mingbao, can't he still find something to do elsewhere? After all, they are also business school graduates, they are not very short of money or anything, and no matter how high the salary is, it is not the only thing they need.
For these proud children, what they need most is power, a stage where they can wield their abilities. Everything else, it's all secondary. Otherwise, they continue to mix in Hollywood, in fact, it's pretty much the same. A person with a temper proves that he really wants to do things, not just fooling around, if Lin Jie and the two of them don't have a temper at all now, it will make Li Mingbao feel that he has chosen the wrong person. So, now Li Mingbao has given them a promise.
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, whether it was Lin Jie or Xu Jingjing, their eyes all radiated a bright light. The boss supported him, and such words came out of Li Mingbao's mouth, and the effect was quite large.
Before they came to United Cinemas, they knew what the situation was like with United Cinemas. Li Mingbao is of course the major shareholder of the United Cinema Line, but in fact, he does not have much management power over the cinema at all, and the person who really has control over the cinema is the helm of the old cinema chain, that is, the sixth uncle. The movie theaters that Li Mingbao can control, in fact, are only the more than ten flagship movie theaters he built, and Li Mingbao's hand can't reach over other movie theaters, they also understood the difficulties at the beginning, but they didn't expect that the actual things are more difficult than they imagined.
The struggle on the American side is a struggle within a certain framework, professional knowledge is their weapon, it cannot be said that it can be said to completely suppress other people, at least they can ensure their own safety, good ideas, the same as the theater boss will affirm, let the other party be disgraced, it is not impossible.
But such a thing is of no use at all in Hong Kong. Because the struggle on the Hong Kong side is not based on the platform of professional knowledge at all, but on peripheral means. No matter how awesome your professional knowledge is, others don't care about you, and you don't have any way, and other means, Lin Jie, two newcomers who just came to Hong Kong, how can they be the opponents of those old rivers and lakes, so don't suffer too much.
In addition, Li Mingbao has no management power over the theater at all, and sending the two of them in, the basic type is equivalent to fighting alone. In this case, if you want to let them swing, they don't have the ability, it's tired enough to deal with off-the-board moves all day long, and to be able to keep themselves, they all have to rely on their position is not their own, but hand-picked by Li Mingbao, and others can't move. But even so, when the two of them were in the United Cinema Chain, they were basically like Bodhisattvas, to say that the role of management power was basically none, but it would be wrong to say that they did not have any wave at all, at least they had been in the United Cinema for a few months, and they had figured out the specific problems of the faction personnel within the United Cinema.
To be honest, the internal management problems of the United Cinema Chain can be said to be quite bad. This is not bad on the outside, for the external problem, because there are a few big guys watching, this problem has not exploded. But there are definitely a lot of things like internal power struggles.
Especially the old employees of Shaw Brothers and the people of Golden Harvest, they simply don't look at each other, Shaw Brothers' movies are going to be put on Golden Harvest, they are either showing problems, or the equipment needs to be repaired, simply put, a Shaw Brothers movie wants to be completely screened in Golden Harvest's theaters, it is basically impossible, there will always be such and such problems, although there is not much problem at the box office, but the internal equipment, Shaw Brothers has suffered a lot.
As for how to suffer, if you want your movie to be screened in the cinema of Golden Harvest, then good, you can pay for the repair of the broken equipment, otherwise I don't have a backup here, and if something goes wrong, don't look for me, I have no way to take responsibility. To put it simply, Golden Harvest treats the people of Shaw Brothers as free maintenance workers, and when the movie is screened, it not only charges the cost of the theater, but also charges the cost of reporting the damage to the equipment.
Of course, Golden Harvest can do this, and Shaw Brothers can also do the same, because Shaw Brothers' movies are not as many as Golden Harvest's, so in this area, Golden Harvest's loss is relatively large. And Golden Harvest is also tough, since you don't have many movies, then the price of the equipment I reported for loss will be one or two times higher than your Shaw Brothers, and you can't suffer in vain. And Princess Jin's people are watching the excitement from the sidelines, but Princess Jin's own side is actually not a heart, and there are a lot of bullshit things about internal strife on her own, anyway, there will be as much chaos as it is.
Of course, this was the method of struggle between the parties in the very beginning. And later, with the renovation of the United Cinema Line, the equipment and everything are brand new, even if you want to report the loss, there is no such condition, and they will play with the screen in the back.
Playing screens is also particular, like Golden Harvest's movies, they have a strong ability to absorb gold, so they need more screens, in addition to their own screens, they also need other screens, in the problem of asking for screens, Shaw Brothers is playing tricks, every time the screen is allocated, it is those movie theaters with low screenings, or the screens of non-first-line movie theaters. In general, it just doesn't give Golden Harvest's movies a good screen.
Of course, if it is Li Mingbao's movie, it is not a problem at all on this issue, because Li Mingbao's movie, at any time, is screened in full, what is a full-line screening? That is, no matter which cinema the movie is in, it has to be screened, and the quality of the cinema does not affect it at all.
But there are not many people in Hong Kong who can have Li Mingbao's movie treatment now, even if it is Chen Long's movie, as long as it is not a big production, it is impossible to get such treatment. So under normal circumstances, it is how many screens, how many screens, and there is no need to think about the whole line of screening, and in this way, the problem arises, the gold-absorbing ability of the golden cinema, and the gold-absorbing ability of the garbage cinema, is not the same concept, the film is screened in the golden cinema, you can earn 100,000 box office a day, and the garbage cinema can earn 50,000 box office a day, which is already burning high incense. It doesn't matter if there are one or two movie theaters, the difference is 100,200,000, but if it is an eight movie theaters, that is the difference of one or two million.
This amount of money has little impact on Li Mingbao, but for other directors, this problem is quite serious. Shaw Brothers does this, Golden Harvest has no way to fight back at all, who called Shaw Brothers' current movies are already very bad, Shaw Brothers' own theaters can handle it, let alone rely on Golden Harvest, Golden Harvest arranges garbage cinema screenings, Shaw Brothers doesn't care, anyway, they don't have many films, and as long as Golden Harvest is screened, it is pure profit for them, and there is a little bit of a feeling of no desire and rigidity.
Princess Jin is easier to talk about these things, whether it is the request of Shaw Brothers or Jiahe, Princess Jin agrees to it, and it is all well arranged, no one can be offended, anyway, the strength of Princess Jin Cinema is the weakest, plus Princess Jin does not have so many garbage movie theaters, at least half of them are more than a little more first-line cinemas, on this issue, Princess Jin is the most obvious.
But the impact is that it was impossible for Princess Jin to have much say in the United Cinema Line, but now it has a bit of a taste of the world. As for Li Mingbao's movie theaters, they are truly neutral, whoever comes over the film is treated equally, plus Li Mingbao's more than ten movie theaters are flagship stores, plus Li Mingbao's status in the United Cinema Line, the feeling of being too emperor came out all of a sudden, and Li Mingbao's movie theaters have never been mixed with the bullshit inside the United Cinema Line.
If there is no mixing, there will be no right to speak, fighting for power or something, in Li Mingbao's movie...
Inside the courtyard, it is rarely seen. This is also an inevitable problem, because in fact, the internal management power of the United Cinema Line should have been Li Mingbao's, and what power are the people under him fighting for? It doesn't make any sense.
Like the Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest Golden Princess, the three-party troubles are not just such things within the United Cinema Chain, and these are the big problems, but the small problems are not less at all, and they will play with you with new tricks. That is, the United Cinema Line was established, and its influence was high enough, plus there was no one else to compete for the market, so this problem does not seem to be serious, but when the United Cinema Line is completely stabilized, these problems will have to be turned over sooner or later. In such a situation, Lin Jie and Xu Jingjing did not have the support of the boss, how bad it felt, Li Mingbao fully understood.
The things inside the United Cinema Line are all bitter tears when they say it. But fortunately, Lin Jie and they persevered until now, and finally got a positive answer from Li Mingbao. If you want to say how excited you are, think about the victory of 25,000 immediately, you can understand the mood of the two of them.
But after being excited, Lin Jie and Xu Jingjing immediately thought of the most important question, that is, whether Li Mingbao's promise is reliable or not, don't rejoice in the airspace, because Lin Jie and they know how the current internal management situation of the United Cinema Line is caused, and it is because they know that everyone behind this is a big man, so they feel tricky. If Li Mingbao wants to do it, he must do the above work well, otherwise, it is impossible to reverse the situation just by relying on Li Mingbao's wishful thinking.
"Boss, you said that you supported us, but this matter involves the sixth uncle and them, are they willing to let go of the management issue?" Lin Jie asked worriedly.
"I don't need you to say more about this question, I know how the current situation of the United Cinema Line is caused, I didn't move before, isn't it because of this reason? Now that I have started to move, I must have leveled the sixth uncle and won their support, otherwise my words would have become empty words.
You can rest assured, as long as there is really an effect after sorting, then I will take care of all the problems boss, if you can't get results, the boss and I are not happy, and you don't want to be happy. Li Mingbao said viciously.
