Chapter 397: The Film's Foundation Must Be Stable
readx;
"I know that this thing can't be stopped, and at the very beginning, I understood that if Hong Kong films are good, such problems will be highlighted sooner or later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis is why I brought you two brothers in when United Cinemas was established, although it is true that you two brothers like this business, but there are also preparations for this day.
Now it turns out that my thinking is correct, but there are some surprises that we expected, after all, I did not expect that the British government in Hong Kong would dare to make such a big opening. To be honest, the British government in Hong Kong opened up this opening, completely not treating our Hong Kong film as a project that can develop sustainably for a long time, but just wanted to quickly expand the industry, and then cover up their incompetence. And after that, they don't care about our development at all. Li Mingbao said faintly.
Li Mingbao is not a child, he never thought that the British government in Hong Kong has really been thinking about the local people in Hong Kong, and many brain-dead people in Hong Kong in later generations miss the era of the British government in Hong Kong, in fact, those people do not understand what role the British government played in Hong Kong when it was in Hong Kong.
Just like the film industry, the British government in Hong Kong did what they did in the previous life, and introduced black gold, perhaps because they really don't like this project, it doesn't matter how they do it, plus the film industry has a great role in establishing people's values, so they simply let him mess up, and while taking advantage of the benefits, he also cultivated a group of brain-dead, which just added to the blockage of the mainland. Obviously, they did that and they did achieve their goal, because of the entry and rapid exit of black gold, the film industry completed the transformation from peak to trough in just a few years, and finally let the mainland pay.
In this life, the prospects of the film industry are actually very clear, as long as the circulation port is successful, Hong Kong films become a pillar of Hong Kong's economy, there will be absolutely no problems, Li Mingbao does not believe that the Hong Kong government can not see this problem. But the problem is that the Hong Kong government can clearly see such a result, but it still puts black money in, making it clear that it wants to rely on movies to stabilize the economy at the same time, but also to add chaos to the film industry.
Anyway, they also understand that the entry of black gold into this industry, in a short period of time, will not be too bad for the film industry, after all, there can be movies only with funds, and black gold is strictly controlled in other aspects, but in the film industry, the Hong Kong and British governments turn a blind eye and close one eye, which is completely laissez-faire, and even has the idea of encouragement in it.
In the past, those guys had to be sneaky when they entered this industry, but after the Hong Kong British government came out, those guys could come in openly and do whatever they wanted. For the British government in Hong Kong, this is beneficial, and they can make profits in the industry as quickly as possible. But for people like Li Mingbao and others in the industry, there is no need to do so at all.
Because the circulation port was supposed to go down step by step, the money would be there sooner or later. Whether there is black gold or not, for the film industry, the boost is not very big. And with the entry of black gold, it is a more troublesome thing for the film industry, a short period of prosperity brings long-term instability, and everyone present can understand such consequences.
Even the sixth uncle, who has a good relationship with the British government in Hong Kong, got angry a few times after learning about the regulations made by the British government in Hong Kong, because he understood that the British government in Hong Kong had played people in the film industry, and he had also played his sixth uncle. But in this matter, people like Uncle Sixth can only suffer dumb losses, and they can't make this topic clear at all.
So when Li Mingbao opened the topic again, not only the Xiang brothers' faces were not good, but the faces of the sixth uncle and a few of them were also not much better. And Li Mingbao continued to say at this time.
"They don't care or not, it has nothing to do with us, they don't rely on this to eat, but we in the industry rely on this to eat. So after the regulations came out, I was thinking about it. Because this problem is so serious, although I am young, I also know what kind of disaster it will be if the industry is disrupted.
I don't want our Hong Kong side to be the same as them. So for our own sake, we can't bear it. I asked Brother Qiang this question, not that we can only take care of this matter through Brother Qiang, such a thing, relying on Brother Qiang's ability alone, it is difficult to straighten things out. It's not a good beginning, we were originally playing movies, and playing other means are amateurs, so in this matter, we can only use industry means to solve it.
And to solve it by industry means, those people will definitely not be our opponents, after all, the resources we have in our hands are not comparable to them, and the newcomers, if they don't follow the rules, we will send them out, and no one will talk much. So as long as we use industry means to solve the problem, this problem will be solved sooner or later, I am sure of that.
But sooner or later, it means that this matter will definitely go into chaos before we have a reason to intervene. But to do so is too passive. The Hong Kong film industry is not small, but it is also not big.
Resources are always limited, and if they are wasted by outsiders, we will lose ourselves. So on this issue, I think we should take the initiative. Let those people understand that when they enter this circle, they must act according to the rules of this circle, and if they do not follow the rules, they should not want to mix in this circle.
So in the beginning, we had to tell those people about that thinking. And those of us who are familiar with them are only Brother Qiang. So I hope that Brother Qiang, you can make those people understand our rules as quickly as possible. Of course, I don't want Brother Qiang to be rude, but just to spread a word. If something really happens, we will directly move the relationship, give them a thunderous blow, and give them no room to fight back, so as to achieve the effect we want. ”
Hearing Li Mingbao's words, the Xiang brothers understood what Li Mingbao wanted to say in such a big circle. Just let them pass on a word, for them, it is a very simple matter, it is difficult for others to deal with the big guys in this circle, but the Xiang brothers do not have any difficulties in this regard.
And the meaning of the word itself, although it is inevitable to threaten, but the original intention is actually good for the double, after all, it is really like Li Mingbao said, people who break the rules will be driven out immediately, for those people, it is also one less way to make money, and they will not be able to enter this circle in the future, even if they have the support of the Hong Kong and British governments, what is the point, the Hong Kong and British governments can issue documents to tolerate black gold, can they still control the film schedule of the United Cinema Line? This is obviously impossible, so Li Mingbao's threat, in fact, is still very effective.
"If it's just a rumor, our two brothers will take over this matter. After all, this rule is said to be beneficial to both sides, and if you really want to fight together, it is inevitable that there will be some losses, and it will not be good for everyone. Xiang Huasheng tapped his finger on the table, and he gave this job very neatly.
Because taking over this job is also beneficial to their Xiang brothers. If the film is opened directly, the Xiang brothers will definitely not agree, but if this kind of threat, if the Xiang brothers are involved, for other communities, the subtext is actually to represent their old and new, in this industry, although they will not have the right to speak as Li Mingbao and other big names, but compared to other outsiders who have newly joined the industry, they are standing on the top of the class that formulates the rules.
If it is a friendly community, hearing this news, it will definitely be overjoyed, after all, a newly opened industry, but their own people have taken the lead early, and there will definitely be some benefits to share in the future, even psychologically, there will be advantages.
And for those hostile associations, hearing the news is to the Xiang brothers, there will always be some apprehension, in an unfamiliar industry, their opponents have taken many steps first, for their own side, it is clear that the game mode of difficulty has been opened, even if there is not much loss in fact, but psychologically, there will always be some unhappiness, and at any time to guard against the Xiang brothers in this industry to play tricks on them, how bad it is.
"Then I'll leave this matter to the two of you, let's make our attitude clear first, and then if anyone really commits something, then we must not be soft. Regarding this matter, not only do you need to work hard, Uncle Six, you must also not slack off, in order for the Hong Kong film industry to be free from external interference, and the operation of the industry will not have major problems, we must concentrate on this area at the beginning.
And during this period of adaptation, we must protect the people in the industry and not let them be disrupted by these outsiders. After all, we still need insiders to make money for us, and temporarily protect their safety, which is also very beneficial to our future.
In this matter, I would like to first make a statement that those more famous people in the circle, as long as they think that there are people in need, the security company in my hand can serve them 24 hours a day. Although I don't have a lot of people in this company, and now there are only more than 300 people, but those security personnel are basically veterans, and the kung fu in their hands is quite good, and most of them have seen blood, and they have fought with people from Vietnam, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem to protect the personnel. Li Mingbao opened his mouth and took over the actual protection work.
"I didn't expect Li Sheng to have such a manpower in his hands, since Li Sheng is so confident, I won't say more, Boss Zou and I, we will protect those people from formal channels, and we old guys will take care of the judicial issues." The sixth uncle glanced at Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun, and said with a smile.
At this moment, the originally closed office was suddenly pushed open, and the sixth aunt walked in from outside the door in a huff, and said coldly as she walked: "Sixth uncle, now someone has turned the sky upside down, and even our Shaw Brothers studio dares to mess around, just now the person in charge of the set called and said that our set was smashed."
