Chapter 561: Lei Juekun's terrifying conjecture
readx;
The sixth uncle's mind naturally can't hide from Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBut Uncle Six's words are also right for them. After all, because of the relationship between Hong Kong and Hong Kong, although the film industry has become prosperous, the strength of local Hong Kong capital is gradually shrinking its influence.
This is a considerable blow to local Hong Kong investors. And such a blow can only be resisted by the local Hong Kong capital itself, and the Hong Kong government will definitely not contribute. What they need is the prosperity of the Hong Kong film industry, and they don't care so much about whether this prosperity is created by Hong Kong capital. Therefore, whether it is Hong Kong capital or foreign capital, as long as it can create income for the Hong Kong government, they will not pay attention to too many things at all. It is also such a situation that Hong Kong capital wants to keep its own territory, and it can only rely on its own strength, and no external force can borrow it.
Although the three major film companies and those foreign investors have not yet made up their minds, it does not mean that these three major film companies do not want to get their hands on them. After all, the resources controlled by these three major film companies are too generous locally, and if they can get some of them, they will also have some advantages in the United Cinema Chain.
People have no foresight, but they must have near-term worries. Now for the sixth uncle, the situation is just like that. Whether it is the sixth uncle, Zou Wenhuai, or Lei Juekun, the three of them are not the kind of people who like to collect money quietly, their own territory has been taken away, it is strange if they are not angry.
But now relying on their own strength alone, it is obvious that they can't resist at all, so according to the sixth uncle, uniting together is also a clear way. But even if the three of them join forces, they may not be able to change the overall situation. So if Li Mingbao joins again, it can really be regarded as foolproof.
Of course, teaming up with Li Mingbao does not mean that they will let Li Mingbao lift the restriction that he cannot open a film company now. After all, a Tyrannosaurus rex like Li Mingbao, if the chain is really released, the actual threat is even more terrifying than those foreign capital. Li Mingbao's own strength, coupled with his advantages as a native of Hong Kong, has really been released, and the fate of these people is not much better.
So the three of them can work together, but Li Mingbao's side is still mainly based on utilization. Even if Li Mingbao doesn't join in, they will definitely not let go of the conditions that Li Mingbao promised before.
"It's not that easy to get Li Sheng to help us. After all, Li Sheng himself does not have a film company. He makes his own films, which can be screened normally, and under such a premise, there is no need to help us.
For him, his views may be similar to those of the Hong Kong government, whether it is Hong Kong or foreign, as long as Hong Kong's film market can prosper, it doesn't matter whose funds it is. Anyway, it doesn't harm his interests. It's not so easy to get him into the water.
No matter how good our plan is, if we don't have the conditions to impress him, then there is no possibility of this plan being realized. Even if we go to his film and television city to make movies and bring him benefits, we may not be able to impress him with such conditions.
His film and television city can accommodate too many scenes, and with the strength of our three film companies, if we want to cover this share, we can't reach it at all. So even if we bring benefits to him, he will also open up the film and television city and let more people make movies with him. At most, we can sell well, but I think it's very difficult to negotiate terms with such a good sale. Zou Wenhuai said with a frown at this time.
There is such a thing as a film and television city, in fact, Zou Wenhuai has long wanted to get one out by himself. always borrowing Uncle Six's Shaw Brothers on the set, it's not always such a stable thing. After all, such an important matter is not in your own hands, and it is still in the hands of the enemy, no matter how you think about it, it will not be reassuring.
It's a pity that the cost of things like film and television cities is too high, and Hong Kong's land resources are quite limited, so it is not so easy to make a large-scale film and television city. Li Mingbao was able to figure it out, because he found another way, and in a place like the mainland, everyone understands that the value of land in the mainland is completely different from Hong Kong. In addition, Li Mingbao has sufficient funds, and it is not a problem to make such a film and television city.
But if he is replaced by Zou Wenhuai, let alone investing one billion US dollars, even if it is an investment of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, it is a very fatal thing. So Zou Wenhuai has been procrastinating on such a thing, thinking that he will wait until the right time to get his own film and television city.
And with such an idea, after Li Mingbao got out of his film and television city, Zou Wenhuai understood that things like film and television cities were no longer something he could get if he wanted to. Even if it is made out, compared to Li Mingbao's film and television city, it is also a low-end product, not to mention that you use it yourself, even if you use it for others, you can't make money.
This is still the case when he wants to get a film and television city. And when this film and television city comes out, even Uncle Six's Shaw Brothers studio will decline, after all, the advantages in cost and quality are not comparable to these studios at all. At that time, maybe there were only some low-budget movies that would be filmed on the set of Uncle Six. Movies that are really willing to invest will definitely go to Li Mingbao, because the picture quality of the movies made there is not comparable to the Shaw Brothers studio.
As soon as Zou Wenhuai's words came out, it was like pressing a big stone on the hearts of the sixth uncle and Lei Juekun. Because they also understand that Zou Wenhuai's words are definitely not nonsense, but facts. The benefits they can give Li Mingbao are nothing at all.
It can even be said that even if they don't take such things as benefits, they will also go to Li Mingbao's film and television city to film, after all, everyone now understands that the future film market is no longer a place where low-cost movies can make money. Especially when the film industry of other countries catches up, if Hong Kong films want to develop, they must work quality, otherwise, their investment in this industry, let alone making money, is already a blessing.
"Alas, Li Sheng's current situation is indeed not something we can figure out. I'm afraid that in the future, Li Sheng's investment focus may not be on the film industry. If this is the case, then even if we ask Li Sheng to open a film company in Hong Kong, he may not agree to such conditions, because the film company is a chicken rib for him. Lei Juekun also said with a sigh at this time.
"What do you mean by Boss Lei?" After hearing Lei Juekun's words, the sixth uncle asked with a frown.
"I'm actually guessing. If you want to talk about Li Sheng's ability in movies, we are all very clear, if he wants to make money from movies, it is actually very easy. Every movie he has made before has made a profit of at least tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
For us, such a profit is definitely very rich. But for the current Li Sheng, such a profit may not be able to satisfy him. If he really cares so much about the income from the box office, then why hasn't he made a movie for so long? Doesn't he know that it's very lucrative?
But let's think about it, how long has it been since Li Sheng released a new film? It's been over a year, right? Even he would rather sell scripts than make movies himself. From this point of view, it is very illustrative that Li Sheng's thoughts are no longer in the movie. Lei Juekun said with a wry smile.
"Not in the film industry? How is this possible? Isn't Li Sheng still working on cinemas and film and television cities now? And with such a big investment, how can it be said that he has not developed in the film industry? Regarding Lei Juekun's words, Zou Wenhuai obviously didn't agree so much, but after the sixth uncle heard Lei Juekun's words, he was thoughtful.
"What Boss Lei means is that Li Sheng's future industrial plan will not focus on movies, but around the film industry?" The sixth uncle said.
"That's how I feel. You see, Li Sheng has created a joint cinema chain and a circulation port in Hong Kong, and they all grasp the dominance, but he didn't make too many circulation commodities like movies, that is, when he accumulated funds in the early stage, he only made a few movies.
In the United States, he also did not make a few films himself, but set up a film company, and after he got his idea, he let the directors of other companies shoot it. Now we are working TV programs, if we put it on us, it must be to buy a TV station by ourselves, and then broadcast the programs we have made in our own TV station, so as to maximize the benefits, we will not think that Li Sheng has no capital to buy a TV station in the United States, right?
On the mainland, what he is doing now has nothing to do with filmmaking, but is closely related to the film industry. Whether it is a cinema or a film and television city, it is all for the purpose of serving movies.
If he completes all these layouts, then he may be able to become the world's top film industry service company. Especially in the layout of the mainland, he has a cinema chain, as well as a film and television city, coupled with the relationship on the mainland, if anyone makes a movie in the future, he will have to worship his dock, and on our side in Hong Kong, after the circulation port is controlled, he can affect the film industry in the entire East Asian region, and when the time comes, he can completely get these film companies in East Asia to film in his film and television city, such an income is not comparable to the profit of one or two films. Get this infrastructure in place, and he can just sit back and wait for the money to be collected. Compared with working hard to make movies, like Li Sheng, it is truly leisurely, and his voice in the film industry will be heavier.
After all, he did this to provide services, not to compete with other film companies, and he was in an advantageous position. If my guesses are correct, then Li Sheng's calculations are really terrifying. It's hard to imagine that someone of his age could come up with such a grand project. Lei Juekun himself was about to be frightened by his own inferences.
