But Uncle Six's words can no longer be said to be the opinions of everyone present, especially when Li Mingbao is the major shareholder of United Cinemas, although Uncle Six is the most powerful one among all the people seated, but on the issue of the United Cinema Exhibition, Li Mingbao is the most vocal person.

So after hearing Uncle Six's words, Li Mingbao couldn't help but interject and said: "Uncle Six, I think Mr. Zheng's conditions are still very sincere. After all, five million dollars is not too much, and it is not too much to say less. If we can renovate all the movie theaters in the United Cinema Chain, it will be a substantial improvement to the strength of our United Cinema Chain.

A completely modern cinema chain will bring us countless benefits in the future. You must know that other buildings are converted into movie theaters, which will more or less waste space, especially the five major theaters, which are the most wasteful of space, which is the transformation of the theater. Although the nature is similar, there is a big difference in actual application. In these old theaters, we can only arrange large screens, and one screen may have hundreds of seats. But this arrangement is completely unreasonable, except that there will be full seats when the big movie is released, and when the general movie is released, such seats will definitely not be satisfied, and there will be a lot of empty seats, which is a complete waste.

Even if it is an ordinary movie theater, take the smallest movie theater in our hands as an example, if it is made into a three-story building, then such a movie theater can also show three movies at the same time, but now a movie theater like that can only show the most basic movie, and the utilization rate is too far behind.

If cinemas like this can be substantially changed, then it will be much easier for Hong Kong to schedule both blockbusters and small films in the future. Even when blockbusters are at their most intensive, we have enough screens to arrange. If we had only changed clothes for some of the movie theaters before, now that the prices are so cheap, we might as well do it once and for all, so that we can quickly return to our costs.

If Hong Kong films want to improve their status, the quantity and quality of the film are the key, if we follow the initial decoration method, maybe we can guarantee the quality, but in terms of quantity, even if we want to guarantee it, we can't guarantee it, because there are not so many screens to show movies. And now that it's completely rebuilt, from the foundation, there will be a third more screens than we planned before, so it's good for all of us to really do it. ”

In the last paragraph, Li Mingbao made a special trip to say it to the sixth uncle. If you want to talk about high-quality movies, whether it is Golden Harvest or Princess Jin, you can get it, but the declining Shaw Brothers does not have such good conditions, and there is no capable person to meddle in the Shaw Brothers, so the Shaw Brothers can only keep making bad movies.

And bad movies will not have any advantages in the United Cinema Line, but if there is an extra one-third of the screen, Shaw Brothers, who has experience in making bad movies, may be able to take more advantage, at all, it is a shareholder of the theater chain, and if you want to choose a bad movie to enrich the theater line, the first choice is the bad movie in the hands of you, and then it will be the turn of other companies, and the sixth uncle, who has a numerical advantage, will have a lot more advantage in taking advantage.

The quality is for Jiahe and Princess Jin, but the quantity is definitely for the sixth uncle. With the shrewd brain of the sixth uncle, how could he not know the actual meaning of Li Mingbao's words? But although the sixth uncle understands, he would rather not understand, five million dollars is not a small amount, it feels a headache to think about, although he doesn't have to pay for it immediately, but when replacing electronic equipment, he still has to pay for it.

Although several families share it equally, more money is still more money. For the sixth uncle, he definitely doesn't like to spend 110 million Hong Kong dollars for things that can be done with 100 million Hong Kong dollars, even if the extra 10 million is shared by several companies, he will only pay a few million at most, and he still doesn't like it.

Originally, the sixth uncle wanted to say a few more words, but after glancing at the other people, the sixth uncle felt that he seemed to say it, and it didn't make a big difference. United Cinema Line is not his wireless, it is impossible for him to cover the sky here, not to mention that there is a major shareholder Li Mingbao above, even if Zou Wenhuai and these people have a higher share in United Cinema than his Shao Laoliu's shares.

Seeing that those people were all fascinated, the sixth uncle knew that it didn't make much sense for him to say more.

At this time, Zou Wenhuai said: "I think it's good to hold it in place at one time, but we don't have much money in Jiahe's hands." If all the money is invested in the construction of the theater line, our Golden Harvest will inevitably have some difficulties in working capital, I am afraid that not only our Golden Harvest, maybe the Golden Princess also has such difficulties.

Li Sheng, you also know that when the theater chain merged some time ago, we Golden Harvest and Princess Jin bought a lot of movie theaters, and a lot of money was used there, and now we have to pay a lot of money, which is not a small amount. If this problem cannot be solved, even if we have the heart, we will not be able to do it.

The decoration of the theater line costs 5 million US dollars, that is, 40 million Hong Kong dollars, and the projection equipment of the theater, and it doesn't matter much if we use other equipment, but the audio part can pay a lot of money. Originally, the price of this thing is high.,Even if it's a Japanese product, it's not cheap.,The screen increases.,More audio to be used.,Everything has to be the best.,In the end, it's just this piece.,I'm afraid there will be about 100 million Hong Kong dollars to use.,In this way,Our gap is 40 million Hong Kong dollars.。 According to the proportion of our shares, we Golden Harvest and Golden Princess will have to pay 16 million Hong Kong dollars, a lot, and take out so much money at once, I Zou Wenhuai don't have that ability. ”

"Our Golden Princess's foundation is thinner than Golden Harvest, eight million Hong Kong dollars, which is not a small amount for us. If Li Sheng can solve this problem, I will invest money without saying a word, if I can't solve this problem, then this matter should be discussed in the long run. You can't squeeze all the money out of our hands just because of the theater chain, right? Lei Juekun also responded to Zou Wenhuai's words in a timely manner.

It's not that they are in the same mind as Uncle Shao, they are simply reluctant to spend money, but they really don't have so much money to spend. So in terms of tone, there is some helplessness, and the confidence of the sixth uncle to refuse, which is completely opposite.

Hearing that Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were crying poor for a mere 8 million Hong Kong dollars, Li Mingbao really didn't know what to say. These two bigwigs, if you want to say that life is really so embarrassing, it is impossible at all, and the liquidity in the film industry may be one of the best in most industries.

With the background of Golden Harvest and Princess Jin, I really want to come up with this money, and it will be over by gritting my teeth, the reason why I am crying poor may be due to the previous acquisition of movie theaters, but more importantly, it must be to ensure that I have enough cash flow in my hands, so that I can shoot a movie immediately if I have a script. 8 million Hong Kong dollars, based on the current market situation in the Hong Kong film industry, at least four movies can be made by making a medium-investment movie, and the payment collection efficiency of the four movies is definitely countless times higher than that of the theater chain.

This is why cinemas are the lifeblood of the film industry, but not many people in Hong Kong have made up their minds. The people who really dare to start the theater line are not bad for money, and the average film company is reluctant to invest in the theater even if they know the benefits of the theater chain. Because the profitability of the theater chain is far from catching up with the movie.

Instead of controlling this kind of lifeline, it is better to pretend to be a grandson to make a movie and get more practical benefits. Only the bigwigs don't care about short-term interests, but pay more attention to long-term planning, will they start with movie theaters, in order to let others not get stuck in their necks. As for making money from this, the vast majority of Hong Kong people have not thought about it. So the cinema chain, in general, the threshold for entry is much higher than that of the movie.

It is a troublesome thing for two big guys to cry poor at the same time. If it is really provoked, Li Mingbao himself can contribute this fund to directly promote the cooperation between the two sides.

But Li Mingbao also knows that sometimes throwing money is not the best solution, and in the movie industry, it is not possible to decide a lot of money. Otherwise, the sixth uncle's net worth is higher than everyone here, but why was his Shao Brothers beaten by Jiahe and Princess Jin? This industry is not an industry that can smash a world with money.

Money is important, but it's the movies that are even more important. Although there will be money-burning things like blockbusters in Hollywood in the future, in fact, the ultimate success of this kind of thing is not money, but movies. There are a lot of movies shot with big investment, and there are many people who hit the streets, and in the end, it is not unheard of for a big investment movie to destroy a large film company. Therefore, money is important in this industry, but it does not occupy an absolute chance of success.

If Li Mingbao is used to talking with money, he will have fewer and fewer tricks in the future, especially when he encounters those who are richer than him, failure is inevitable. So in general, don't think of throwing money at it, but use other methods to solve the problem.

"In fact, the problem of money should not be too difficult for Golden Harvest and Princess Jin. After all, even if the cinema is to be re-established, it will not be in the last few months. It seems that it is December, and the Christmas and Spring Festival stalls are basically coming together, and this period of time is a stage of high box office income.

If we start to renovate the cinema at this time, we will miss a lot of opportunities to make money, so even if we want to rebuild the cinema, we have to wait for the Spring Festival to pass and completely do the cinema before next summer. Now after the Spring Festival, there is still a lot of time.

And during this period of time, I think Golden Harvest and Golden Princess two companies, if they want to earn 8 million Hong Kong dollars, it is absolutely easy, let alone 8 million, after the establishment of United Cinemas, the box office of each movie will be at least one-third more than before, so that the net income of 20 million is absolutely no problem. After a few months, our situation will be much better.

If Zou Daheng and Lei Daheng are interested, we can also use scripts to cooperate, and the more than ten scripts I have in my hand will definitely be impossible for me to shoot alone. Therefore, there must be a partner, since you are short of money, then it is reasonable for the partner to choose you. Li Mingbao said very generously.
