Chapter 608: The Celebrity Replacement is as Fast as Rain

After hearing Li Mingbao's answer, the other movie bosses understood what Li Mingbao was thinking. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoTo be honest, Li Mingbao's way of dealing with it is a good choice for the bosses of these film companies.

The rules formulated by Li Mingbao are intended to be strict, and they are so strict that in many places, the bosses of these film companies can't do it. If it weren't for the fact that this system can fundamentally bring them a lot of benefits, they would not have allowed Li Mingbao's rules to follow..... Taiwan, because that is too restrictive. But Li Mingbao is very flexible while restricting, not saying that nothing can be changed, which makes these bosses more comfortable.

But Li Mingbao's flexibility is good for the bosses, but it is also bad. Because if everyone uses flexibility more exaggerated than the rules, then maybe all the celebrities in the future will be made by flexibility, and such a strict system will not be exploited?

So after Li Mingbao finished explaining, another Indonesian boss said: "Boss Li, your flexible way of dealing with it is very unique. For the positioning of our film industry, I also want to be accurate. But after all, such a flexible promotion system is a provocation to the overall star system, in case someone comes to take advantage of this loophole, then the star system will inevitably become a vassal of the flexible system in the future. Regarding this, Boss Li, what are your plans? ”

The owner of this Indonesian film company doesn't really want to find fault with Li Mingbao, but he really cares about this issue. Although a boss like him can be regarded as a first-class film company in Indonesia, and it is also a large film company, if his company comes out of Indonesia, there will be a clear gap between it and those more top-notch large film companies. This gap is like dumping Hong Kong movies before.

From a practical point of view, on the Hong Kong side, whether it is Uncle Liu, Zou Wenhuai, or Lei Juekun, the film company of the three of them, among the first-class film companies in the entire East Asian region, actually wants to be top-notch, and in terms of strength, it can definitely rank in the top ten, of course, that is, now, as for what it will develop into in the future, it has to look backwards. If they didn't have such confidence, they wouldn't have let foreign film companies enter the Hong Kong market so easily, but unfortunately they were a little arrogant at the beginning, and they didn't expect that there would be so many film companies pouring into Hong Kong, and there is no shortage of first-class film companies in other countries.

The weakest Lei Juekun can have the ability to rank in the top ten, not to mention the always strong Golden Harvest, they want to have a large market share in Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. In addition to the fact that the capital may not be as good as those film companies in developed countries, when it comes to the soft power of film companies, they definitely want to be strong.

But it doesn't mean that every film company, especially a large film company, can be strong like this, some areas with weak film markets, they can be regarded as first-class film companies locally, but if you want to compare them with some developed markets, they may not be able to be regarded as first-class film companies. And this Indonesian boss is obviously in this situation, he basically did not cultivate an East Asian superstar-level movie star at all, even if it is an East Asian star-level movie star, it all depends on luck. So he just wants to make a little money in peace, and he doesn't have much ambition.

That's it, he likes the fixed model and wants to be, and he doesn't like some unexpected situations very much, and the number of first-class film company bosses with his mentality actually wants to be a lot of people. If more accidents appear, it is easy to squeeze their living space, and even if a large-scale film company appears, it is not impossible to directly spend money to bring out countless unexpected stars, if you really want these capital forces to occupy a dominant position, it is a kind of squeeze on a relatively weak film company like them. They're here to make money, not to be crushed by rich companies.

In any industry, there are mediocre and ambitious people. The film industry is no exception. Radical like Zou Wenhuai and they even want to develop into a giant-like existence like Hollywood. And the mediocre ones just want to make more money, and they don't have much pursuit.

Li Mingbao naturally understood the mind of this boss, and he did say a sharp question. Regarding such a problem, in fact, Li Mingbao really has no way to completely eliminate it, because the advantage of capital in this is innate. As the capital intensity of the film industry becomes higher and higher in the future, not to mention a small person like him, even the giants on the Hollywood side can't resist the erosion of capital, how can such a difficulty be solved by Li Mingbao? The film industry is all about making money, putting aside some political issues, the film industry is actually simple to be, and its purpose is to make money, since you want to make money, you can't get rid of capital, this is a normal state.

But since the Indonesian boss has said such a problem, Li Mingbao also gave an answer: "It is inevitable that someone will take advantage of the loophole." And such a thing does not actually violate the principle of the star system. Because any company that wants to take advantage of such a loophole, they have to pay a price, to put it bluntly, it is equivalent to spending money to buy famous stars. The effect of buying famous stars in this way is essentially the same as the effect of doing business outside. How can we put an end to such a situation?

However, such an auxiliary system itself is based on the celebrity system, and it wants to surpass the celebrity system and make the auxiliary system mainstream. Such a concern is basically impossible to establish, no film company will spend such a price to do such a thing, it is completely an act that outweighs the loss, they may promote, but they will definitely not take the initiative, because the cost of taking the initiative to do so is too high, not to mention that the film companies in East Asia can't afford it, even the giant companies on the Hollywood side can't afford such a price, of course, there may be some individual cases, but there will definitely not be batches, the cost is too great, the gains outweigh the losses, Everyone is here to make money, not to spend money. Such a professional celebrity can't bring benefits to himself, who would do such a stupid thing? ”

"Boss Li said that the price is very high, I believe this, but what if someone is really that crazy? So what do we do? The Indonesian boss still didn't let go.

"What can I do? Cold salad, if we really encounter such a crazy company or individual, we only have two ways, watch him be made down by his own madness, or admit defeat. Do you still want to play tricks, boss? In this world, there is no absolutely fair thing, everyone is not a child, others must have such strength, even if it is to redefine the rules, we can only watch, can there be another way to go? Li Mingbao spread his hands and said without caring at all.

Originally, in this world, there are very few industries that cannot be broken by capital, and even the country has to kneel in front of capital, not to mention the small film industry, if there is such a fierce dragon coming, he Li Mingbao will naturally not stand up to thunder, and idiots will do meaningless things.

Hearing Li Mingbao's explanation, the Indonesian boss also felt a little naïve, and he thought that Li Mingbao would resolutely resist ...... Such a person may also call on the forces of the entire industry to fight, but he didn't expect Li Mingbao's answer to be so simple, and when he encountered the raptor crossing the river, he knelt down directly. Such an answer seems spineless, but it is human nature. Li Mingbao's answer is also a very realistic thing. Not to mention that Li Mingbao doesn't have the ability to call on the power of the entire industry, even if he has the ability to call, when something really goes wrong, how many people or companies really don't care about their losses? Who will be Lei Feng who starts the company?

Seeing that the Indonesian boss stopped talking, Li Mingbao continued to speak: "No plan can be perfect, especially in a place like the film industry, we have our persistence, but we also need to have our flexibility." The update speed of the entire entertainment industry is completely different from that of many industries.

The machine tool from ten years ago is still usable today. But how many celebrities from ten years ago still have the same appeal as they did ten years ago? Basically, no, right? The director's career in the industry can be regarded as relatively long, but a really good director, his prime time is definitely no more than 30 years.

And when it comes to an industry like a movie star, it's even more unpredictable. In addition to the real top stars, the general stars, their influence and appeal, basically a few years of hard work, want to make this industry prosperous, to achieve our effect, if we do not have any supplement to the star system, then the star industry, it is easy to have a fault.

This is not that I am alarmist, if there is no special promotion system, then maybe a famous star who can travel for three years, according to the normal promotion system of our famous stars, may not wait for him to be promoted to the top, and his influence will begin to fade. So what is the significance of cultivating such a famous star?

He himself will not get much benefit, and we, the film companies, will not get much benefit either. In that way, how much attraction can our industry have to celebrities? In the case of such a rapid update, we must adapt to such a speed, accept new celebrities faster, and let the uninfluential celebrities go on faster, so that we are responsible for the attitude of our entire industry. ”
