Generally speaking, it is impossible to compare literary films with commercial films in terms of investment costs, because commercial films focus on the eyeball effect, while literary films focus on connotation. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoIn Hollywood, three to five million dollars, you can't make any good commercial movies, and if you want to make a sensation, this money is not enough.

But if you put it on a literary film, three or five million dollars can definitely make a literary film a classic among the classics. In fact, literary films rarely have an investment of more than 2 million Hong Kong dollars in Asia, and even if South Korea now focuses on literary films, their shooting costs will not be too large. Hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars can make a pretty good literary film, and it is not impossible to win awards.

Don't think that Korean TV dramas are so developed in twenty or thirty years, just think that Korean movies are also developed now, in fact, this is a misunderstanding, at least now, whether it is the film industry in South Korea or the TV drama industry, the market is not too big, fried chicken and beer or something, it is not at all something that Korean practitioners pay attention to now.

In the current Korean circle, in fact, it is similar to the mainland in later generations, and the movies made don't care about the box office or not, all of them are literary and artistic films with serious emotional expressions. Of course, this kind of movie, usually, the box office thing is only hehehe.

This kind of thing may be good news for those directors, they can express all the feelings they want to express at will, and then make a good time. But for the market itself, there is not much benefit, because even South Korea's own people don't like this kind of incomprehensible movie, so Hong Kong movies also have considerable potential in the Korean market.

The director is happy, but it doesn't mean that the boss behind the scenes is also happy. After all, no one who starts a company will like that their company is all loss-making movies, making money is what they want most, and in this regard, all bosses in the world have something in common.

And the thing of literary films, in Li Mingbao's view, has a large space for operation, and it does not have much impact on people in the industry, and the ability to attract hatred is not known how much the ability to attract hatred has decreased compared to the box office of commercial films.

In Li Mingbao's planning, the operation of literary films is not actually aimed at people in the industry, and few people will buy the broadcast power of literary films. The box office of literary films is actually aimed at their own people. If the boss behind the scenes wants to recover the cost, he can only take it back to the people of his own country, sell the port or something, and don't even think about it.

If you want to pit your own people, you have to have appeal at the box office, what is appeal, your film invests 2 million Hong Kong dollars, and the box office in Hong Kong is only hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, even if you want to pit domestic people, you can't pit such a movie. Because of your movie, hit the street. But if it is changed to a box office of two million Hong Kong dollars, hehe, the Hong Kong market alone will recover the cost, and after returning to China, your movie will be pure earning, and one or two million changes can make a movie get great promotion, such a good thing, who doesn't like it?

Li Mingbao really wants to open this business, and his growth potential is definitely much higher than that of commercial films. In the business of commercial films, it is insiders in the industry, and the impact is not good, and the changes are too big, which will cause shocks in the industry, so Li Mingbao is preparing to use this business as an open secret in the industry, and it can be regarded as a half-pit insider.

As for literary films, that is a matter outside the industry, the pit is the audience, and the insiders in the industry, it has little to do with it, and the impact will not be too great. Therefore, even if Li Mingbao is a little more intense, it will not shake the industry, and the state of complete secrecy will not be in a state of complete secrecy, unless any insider in the industry does not want to mix, otherwise he will not have any other attitude on this issue. As long as those literary films want to win awards, it is absolutely indispensable to buy the box office in Hong Kong United Cinemas, and it will become a double harvest at the box office outside the industry, which is also easy to open the fame of the film company.

When Li Mingbao said his little idea, Zou Wenhuai's face was about to go numb. His first feeling about Li Mingbao's idea was that Li Mingbao was too lacking in morality, and he had to make others grateful for taking the money, and this thought really raised the pit man to the level of art. And the second feeling is that they, the shareholders, are going to make money, how many literary films are produced in the whole of East Asia every year? Although the output is much less than that of commercial films, the absolute number is still not a small number.

At that time, even if not all literary films will go to Hong Kong for premiere, some of them will be able to make a lot of money, which will simply calculate people to the bones. Such a person is simply terrifying, he has to make money everywhere, and the dead have to get some bone oil before they stop.

Seeing the expressions of the people in front of him, Li Mingbao knew that they were moved, and Li Mingbao next had to say something even more exciting.

"Selling the box office is a long-term and stable channel for making money, as long as the Hong Kong film is not a signboard, then there is no problem in selling this, which is regarded as an additional large income. But after the establishment of the distribution port, we can make a lot of money in other places. One of the easiest places is the business of subtitle translation. Although the income of each transaction is not large, as long as they want to release a movie in Hong Kong, it is not easy for them to get a local subtitle or local dubbing, and they want to achieve good box office results.

Compared with selling box office, dubbing and subtitles are the most stable income. Whoever comes to Hong Kong with a film can't run this business. As long as this work is done well, it will be able to attract the top practitioners in the whole East Asia, and at that time, the income of this piece of business will not be small, and it will be regarded as a small profit but quick turnover, and this piece of industry can also be revitalized and support a lot of people. Li Mingbao said again.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, the sixth uncle and several of them were completely powerless to complain. Calculate the calculation to such an extent, Li Mingbao is really only in his early twenties? And not the old fox?

"In addition to dubbing, in fact, there is a lot of communication, and those behind-the-scenes personnel in our hands can make a lot of money. At that time, as long as these behind-the-scenes are also packaged and sold to those companies that want to make movies, it will also be a money-making deal, and we can also absorb excellent foreign behind-the-scenes and become the people in our hands, so that the signboard of our Hong Kong films will be even more difficult to fall.

In fact, not only behind the scenes, but also in front of the stage, those actors, such as Zhou Yunfa and Chen Long, who have overseas box office appeal, they can not only take over the films of our Hong Kong people, but also take over the films of foreigners, and if we sign contracts with the more famous movie stars in East Asia, or simply cooperate, we will earn a lot. Just think about the international stars in Hollywood, how high their worth is, how lucrative they are, these cards in our hands, even if they don't earn so much, earn half, they are also very profitable, compared to the simple use of artists in Hong Kong to make money, whether it is breadth or depth, it is not at the same level at all. Li Mingbao said.

In fact, Hong Kong movies are really going to become the location of the circulation port, and the benefits are actually in all aspects, although there will be a crisis, so that many people who are mixed up are completely useless, but under such pressure, more people with ideas will also stand out, and the value created by these people is two concepts with those wasted people, and the gap is amazing. Li Mingbao can't completely build Hong Kong's stars into international superstars, but Li Mingbao is still very confident in becoming a superstar in East Asia.

As long as you can become a superstar, there are a lot of peripherals in the East Asian market alone, and a series of business operations such as endorsements and advertisements are beneficial to everyone. And at that time, Hong Kong became the center of East Asian films, so in the future, it will not be other forces in other places to ban Hong Kong's local films or artists, but other places, depending on Hong Kong's attitude.

"No wonder Li Sheng raised their salaries so much to Zhou Runfa before, so they were waiting here?" The sixth uncle spoke.

"No, I didn't think about it that much at first, but I have been in Hollywood for so long, and I also know that movie actors, especially stars, their use value is not only in movies, but also in peripheral industries, their use value is even greater, but Hong Kong has not developed this part of the market. So I'll give it a try, even in Hong Kong, it is a big gain to develop these industries.

If the value of the actor is that we don't pay attention to training, relying on the actor alone, in the end, both parties will not get too much actual benefits, good for them, in fact, it is good for ourselves, interests are always growing in the process of discovery, since we have the strength to develop, then the development process should be led by us. If you let the actors do things by themselves, not only will the time be slow, the effect will not be good, and it will be easy to cause waste. For the sake of a win-win situation, we also have to be careful. Li Mingbao said very sincerely.

On this issue, he really didn't lie, according to his previous thoughts, the use of these stars is to rely on Hong Kong movies to take the initiative to conquer the city, and then forcibly make these people famous and make profits.

But after there is a circulation port, the use of these actors does not need Li Mingbao's thankless development, because those filmmakers who want to make money, or other types of bosses, will take the initiative to come to Hong Kong to seek cooperation, one active, one passive, the same is the value of developing actors, and the benefits obtained from active development will naturally not be as great as the benefits obtained by passive development.
