For a big guy who has to save a box lunch, asking him to get a high cost out, and doing so for many years, this is no less than continuous bloodletting for the sixth uncle. It is hard for Li Mingbao www.biquge.info the pen to make such a choice, even if the sixth uncle is doing this to befriend him, such a reason is impossible. After all, Uncle Six is no one else, and there are two famous ones in Hong Kong, one of which is Uncle Six, and the other is Jin Daxia. The significance of this is not the cost, but it will become something like faith, and the belief that has been insisted on for decades will be changed immediately, and no one will listen to such a thing and believe it, right?

The focus of Li Mingbao's question, where is the reason why Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun can't hear it. I think that when they heard the sixth uncle say such things, they were not much better than Li Mingbao, especially Zou Wenhuai, who had dealt with the sixth uncle for the longest time, and even thought that the sixth uncle couldn't think about it.

But this matter is really the truth, the sixth uncle really has such an idea, in this case, what can Zou Wenhuai say, now that Li Mingbao has raised all the questions, Zou Wenhuai naturally said the sixth uncle's set of rhetoric according to the script, regardless of whether Li Mingbao believes it or not, anyway, the sixth uncle himself believes it, what can you do?

Zou Wenhuai's explanation made Li Mingbao have nothing to say for the time being. Since the sixth uncle said such a reason, he had no reason to refuse. If you are not happy to send money to yourself, then Li Mingbao is still a fart. In fact, on this issue, Li Mingbao shouldn't have asked at all, the sixth uncle came over to send money, and Li Mingbao followed up, why bother so much? If it weren't for the fact that Uncle Sixth made such a decision that was too subversive, Li Mingbao would not have asked such a thing.

Now there is a reason, and Li Mingbao will believe it. As long as the sixth uncle sends money, there is no reason why he should not agree, right?

"Since you all said so, then I have no reason not to agree, but if you want to fully run the film and television city, it will take a short time, and you are not afraid of starting construction or something, although the amount of work is not small, but there is nothing else on the mainland, that is, there are many people, plus some construction machinery, if you really want to do it, it will be very fast. It's about the information about those buildings, which is not very elegant. The research time will not be too short, so when this film and television city can really come in handy, it will take at least two or three years.

This is not much of a problem for me, I have time to wait, but for Boss Zou, such news is not good news, the so-called far water can't quench the thirst of the near, it is the matter of the film and television city.

You have a heart set on improving the quality of the film, and I agree with that. If you say that in the sixties and seventies, movies could still rely on creativity to win. Then after the 80s, the real success of the film is not only in terms of creativity, but also in quality.

To be honest, for film bosses, increasing the quality of the movie is not necessarily good news, which means that the cost of shooting a movie will also increase a lot invisibly, and the budget for each movie or TV series will be more than before.

And the increase in the cost of movies, although there is also a positive side, the movies made in this way will be more liked by the audience, and can also drive the box office. But at the same time, if the same amount of money is invested, but the box office of the movie is not satisfactory, then the film company will lose more than before.

In the past, the cost of a movie was hundreds of thousands of millions at most, even if it was a loss of one or two, it was not much trouble for the bosses of big film companies like Boss Zou and Boss Lei, but now a really good movie requires at least three million Hong Kong dollars to invest in the foundation, and this is just the beginning, in this case, the pressure on funds will be greater than before. If you are unlucky enough to make several money-losing movies in a row, it will even affect the operation of the company and lead to the breakdown of funds.

To put it simply, this is the kind of movie that will make the film company more risky. There is a good side to the increase in costs, and there is a bad side. Under the new rules, this degree is more difficult to grasp than before. Li Mingbao said with a sigh.

Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Zou Wenhuai also sighed: "Who said it wasn't?" Making a movie now is not the same as before, in the 70s, the total box office of a movie was in the millions, and Hong Kong's million-dollar box office record was only released in the 70s. It's only been a long time, and the time of ten years has almost not arrived, and the current box office, in Hong Kong alone, has exceeded 40 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, and the total box office of 1 million is not enough to make a good movie now, so this industry is becoming more and more difficult to mix.

Just like those of us, investing too much in a movie is not as easy as Li Sheng, investing too much, afraid of losing money, investing less, afraid of not making money, where can you make a movie like Li Sheng, make a movie and make a movie. If we have the ability of Li Shengyou, then the money that can be made in this industry is too much, but unfortunately we really don't have such ability. In the end, Zou Wenhuai's tone was a little resentful.

If you want to talk about the problem of increasing the cost of the film industry in Hong Kong, it is Li Mingbao who brought it out. At the beginning, even if they wanted to make a good movie, the money spent was not too much, and the production of one million was already considered a top-level production, so where could they spend so much money.

But after Li Mingbao, the cost of shooting movies in Hong Kong began to increase, not only the labor cost is increasing, but even the cost of those actors and directors is also increasing. Especially after Li Mingbao opened a brokerage company, they, the bosses who were put in the brokerage company, were able to bear it, and they were able to get a little benefit from those stars, although the expenditure in this area has increased a little compared to before, but it is not too outrageous. In addition, the star directors have some extra income, and they can be regarded as having an extra way to make money.

But for other studios, the situation is different. A few years ago, even if they were first-line movie stars, the price they paid for a movie was at most one or two hundred thousand, which had to be the top treatment, but now, the real top actors, just like actors like Zhou Yunfa, the price of his movies has risen rapidly to millions of Hong Kong dollars, and this is not the final price, as long as a discerning person sees it, he will understand that it may not take two years, and the price of these people will have to rise.

Like ordinary small companies, they can't afford to hire these stars at all now, in the past, they may have relied on relationships to let these stars reduce their prices or perform for free, but now as long as there are stars with names and surnames in Hong Kong, they can't make their own decisions when they make movies, they don't want money or anything, it's just a joke, since it's under the banner of the agent company, they have to get the consent of the company to make movies or something, and helping friends make movies for free has become a luxury, unless there are special reasons, Otherwise, it would not have been possible at all.

In fact, this is also one of the reasons for the collapse of those local small and medium-sized film companies in Hong Kong, not only are external forces buying them, but now even the local film industry, they are difficult to mix, it is okay to make movies, but it is difficult to let stars make their own company's films. Such a market is equivalent to raising the entry threshold of the entire industry. And such a threshold is not an explicit rule made by anyone, but an unspoken rule. If you want to really mix well in this industry, the first point is that you need to have enough funds.

In the past, there were many film companies in Hong Kong, and they closed down without even finishing a movie. And now in Hong Kong, there will never be such a company. Because now, even the cost of making a movie is not so simple. If you don't have money, to put it mildly, you can't even turn on the camera, let alone half of the company goes bankrupt, it's just throwing money into the water, fluke or something, and now it's no longer popular in Hong Kong.

Although Zou Wenhuai and they seem to have a positive effect on such a market in a short period of time, they can quickly clean up those who do not have real strength and rectify the order of the industry. But the situation in the future made Zou Wenhuai and other big bosses feel not good.

You must know that Hong Kong's local market is really not very good, and the greater the cost of the movie, the greater the sales port. If there is any problem in the foreign market, it can directly affect the life and death of the entire Hong Kong film industry. So for Li Mingbao, who single-handedly increased the cost of film shooting, Zou Wenhuai certainly has resentment.

But Zou Wenhuai also knew that he was not qualified to complain about what Li Mingbao had done now. So although he spoke resentfully, he didn't dare to directly accuse Li Mingbao of anything, which would not only not do any good, but would make Li Mingbao unhappy.

Of course, Li Mingbao could hear Boss Zou's resentment, so he said: "Boss Zou, in fact, I really can't blame me for this. You know, on the Hollywood side, the market is even more outrageous, although there is also a currency problem over there, but even if you don't add the currency problem, the market of the film industry there is much higher than that of Hong Kong.

Of course, I also know that Hong Kong and Hollywood are completely incomparable. But our current film market in Hong Kong is also not a simple Hong Kong market, but represents the film market of the whole East Asia.

For now, such a market has little to do with us, and we can always maintain this market. But how long can such a market be maintained? You must know that Hong Kong now has a circulation port. Film resources, no matter what kind of resources, in Hong Kong, except for us, no one else can afford them at all, but what about other places?

If we can guarantee control for a while, can we also guarantee control for a lifetime? When those people in the industry understand their true value, will they accept their current net worth with peace of mind? Definitely not, and if we can't, we can't guarantee that we will be able to control these people all the time, and if they all jump away at that time, won't these talents be cultivated for other countries? ”
