"Don't hesitate to teach, I'll just tell you how I feel. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe film market in the mainland, if you want to completely improve it, it can't be completed overnight. This is true for the market, and the same is true for film studios. To put it mildly, the current mainland movies have actually been out of touch with the world for a long time. Although such a thing is not done by one country on the mainland, but also by other countries.
However, other countries and the mainland are not the same concept at all, after all, the mainland, as an important participant in the world, cannot be said to be compared with those small countries in any industry. It has to be world-minded. It's not a big deal if small countries are out of touch, and that's how they contribute to the world anyway. But the mainland can't, and when the mainland develops better and better, any industry will be compared with everyone, and on this comparison issue, the mainland will obviously suffer, because the mainstream of the world is the Western world, and even American films are not simply developed on their own.
As many advantages as there are advantages, the mainland will have as many disadvantages. However, it will not work if the mainland does not develop, and a blind man touching an elephant will be a disaster for the mainland. From the perspective of the film industry alone, I think that if you really want to make a difference, the opening up of the mainland is an inevitable thing, but this opening up is also exquisite, and it cannot be said that it is in place in one step, completely open, and doing so is equivalent to suicide. But you can't help but open up, step by step, a little more each time, so that what was originally a fatal scar can now play a role in exercise.
In terms of cooperation, I think the mainland can take its time, first stream a few or a dozen movies at a time, and introduce as many movies as you go out. In this way, of course, you will be hurt to a certain extent, but you will also learn the lessons of the past, and then rely on these experiences to slowly develop, the stones of other mountains can attack jade, as long as you don't interrupt the steps and don't be too big, then things like communication, I don't think it will fundamentally cut off the foundation of mainland films, and this is also the best way at present. Li Mingbao said.
"Mr. Li's words are in line with our country's national conditions, but I remember that your cooperation with Hong Kong is a comprehensive cooperation, if you sign such an agreement with our country, wouldn't it be a violation of the rules?" Li Mingbao's method, Lao Wang naturally likes it, and the idea he made up at the beginning is actually the same.
But the problem is that as far as he knows, the port of circulation has never signed such an agreement with any country or region, and it will either be completely opened, or it will directly suppress the local film companies and then force them to open up. Anyway, it is impossible to have such good conditions, but on the open side, it is more torturous. It's not that Li Mingbao's conditions are bad, but Li Mingbao's conditions are so good that Lao Wang is a little at a loss.
It is true that Li Mingbao is close to the mainland, but it does not mean that the circulation port is also close to the mainland. The key is that if the conditions are negotiated now, and Li Mingbao can't get through when he goes back, then the conditions to be discussed now are just some nonsense, without any effective ingredients.
What Lao Wang meant, how could Li Mingbao not understand. From his heart, he actually wants the mainland to open up the film industry in an all-round way. But Li Mingbao also knew that it was unrealistic to do this, and if he really wanted to open his mouth like this now, then he would not get any results. If the United States had not joined the WTO and the United States took advantage of the general trend to open up some of its terms, they might have only watched the mainland market drool and get nothing after 30 years.
And even if the United States succeeds by taking advantage of the general trend, the profitability of their films on the mainland is actually not as rich as the outside world imagined. American films, the majority of the money, will always be taken by the bare side, and the benefits they can get can only be regarded as a small head, although because of the total amount, the interests of this small head are not small, but after all, it is not as strong as the film market of other countries, and it is impossible for things to be regarded as their own backyard like in Europe, which cannot happen in the mainland at all.
The Yankees are still suffering a loss on the mainland's side, and Li Mingbao feels that Hong Kong does not have so much ability, and it is already based on the relationship between the two sides that the mainland and Hong Kong can cooperate, and they want more. Therefore, Li Mingbao never thought of including the mainland in the scope of management like other regions and countries, and his appetite was too great, and he would eventually die of it.
"The rules are not set by people. Although there was no such rule before, after cooperating with the mainland, there is no such rule? Besides, the mainland is not the same as other cooperative countries, and I have been able to negotiate such cooperation, which is already a very good result, and if others want other luxuries, then let them come by themselves, I have no opinion.
In fact, I think it is more in the interests of both of us to position this cooperation as a private cooperation. In this way, I can explain, and you can also explain, and both sides can be reasonable. At this time, Li Mingbao spoke again.
"Collaboration between private individuals? What is this statement? Lao Wang is a little unclear about the new word Li Mingbao.
"It's equivalent to me acting as an agent for the mainland's films, and then what the mainland wants to screen is naturally the movie I got over, so that it doesn't involve the circulation port, so I naturally don't have to explain to others." Li Mingbao said very realistically.
"In this way, won't our country's movies only be released in United Theaters?" After Lao Wang heard Li Mingbao's words, he frowned and said.
"Of course not, I am acting as an agent for mainland films, not that I bought the broadcast rights of Hong Kong myself, when the mainland films are sold, I can still sell them to other countries, and then we both share, in fact, I am a middleman, a middleman who sells mainland films, with my relationship abroad, film companies or cinemas in other countries, I have to give me some face, and it will be easier to promote it when the time comes." Li Mingbao said.
Li Mingbao's words, in fact, are completely gilding mainland films, relying on the mainland's own face, in the film circle, they are really not as good as Li Mingbao, Li Mingbao's channels are not only in the East Asian market, but also in the European and American markets, Li Mingbao also has many partners. Where can it be so easy for the mainland to promote movies, to put it bluntly, Li Mingbao is using his own ability to help the mainland do a promotion. As for the money that Li Mingbao makes as a middleman, this is a joke, mainland movies can sell money abroad, there are really not many, Li Mingbao is not as good as acting for Hollywood movies.
Although Li Mingbao did this, some hard work, but also avoided trouble, even if someone used the circulation port to talk about things, they could not catch Li Mingbao's handle, and it was impossible for others to force Li Mingbao to help them open up the mainland market, although in fact Li Mingbao was using the identity of the circulation port, but he did not forcibly use the circulation port to open up the joint, but did this thing in a private capacity.
It's like those employees of the U.S. presidents who are hired by some consortium to make their own companies after the expiration of the presidency, although the price will be higher, but the effect is very good. With the status of a former president, it is easy to deal with departments.
Of course, Lao Wang doesn't know much about this, but Li Mingbao does this, and the mainland actually doesn't suffer, after all, everyone understands the movie situation in the mainland. If there is no promotion by Li Mingbao, but directly placed in the circulation port to communicate, few people may not pay attention. But if Li Mingbao is allowed to promote, others will hinder Li Mingbao's face, even if they don't make money, they will be introduced, which will indirectly increase the mainland market and let Li Mingbao avoid trouble, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
And when the mainland movies slowly erect their own brands in the future, then they can operate it themselves, and it doesn't matter so much whether there is Li Mingbao or not. But if there is Li Mingbao's help in the early stage, the development of mainland films will be much easier, and there is no reason why Lao Wang should not agree to such a good thing.
"If it is according to Mr. Li, it is a good thing. In the promotion of the movie, you need to worry about Mr. Li. Lao Wang thanked Li Mingbao very sincerely.
"There's nothing bothered about it, it's all about making money. It also avoids trouble, if there are other companies that want to open the mainland market, then let them come by themselves, and I don't have to pay attention to what conditions can be negotiated. I believe that after others see the benefits of the mainland market, the mainland's film strength will also improve rapidly. Li Mingbao didn't care much about Lao Wang's thanks. To put it bluntly, he really didn't help him with mainland movies in vain, after all, he could have as many movies as he represented in the mainland, and he could have as many movies as he entered the mainland market.
This is equivalent to the mainland market, which opened an opening for him alone, such a good thing, where is Li Mingbao willing to miss it? Even if you can't make money acting as an agent for mainland movies, you can always make money by putting your own movies on the mainland.
If others covet the mainland's film market, they will naturally take the initiative to cooperate with the mainland, and the mainland's film industry will definitely develop rapidly. This kind of cooperation is Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, Li Mingbao making money, and the mainland earning fame and technology, this kind of practice can really be regarded as a pure market for technology, and there will be no handle in terms of rules.
As for the topic that the rapid development of the mainland's film industry will bring threats to Hong Kong films, it is simply a joke. Don't say that Li Mingbao won't care, maybe even the sixth uncle won't care, because in this case, it's a joke, if the mainland market and the Hong Kong market can be opened to each other, no matter how you look at it, Hong Kong will not lose money, even if you have me, I have you, for Hong Kong, on the contrary, it is a good thing, Hong Kong has only a few markets, and the mainland has a lot of markets, in this transaction, Hong Kong has no loss.
