Li Mingbao's intention to pick up a cheap price is not that Uncle Six's sale of Shaw Brothers Cinemas at this time will lower the price, because Li Mingbao knows the virtue of asking for money with Uncle Six's death, even if the ball of Shaw Brothers Cinemas is rotten, he will not sell it cheaply.

Think about the later when Debao acquired Shaw Brothers Cinemas, wasn't he also slaughtered by Uncle Six, and when Debao acquired Shaw Cinemas, Uncle Six was just renting, not selling. Even so, the four leading movie theaters, plus other movie theaters, Debao paid not a small amount.

And at that time, what did Shaw Brothers Cinemas have? The theater equipment is aging, and the movie will pay for one movie. When the Hong Kong film industry was doing well, Shaw Brothers Cinemas lost money year after year, and finally the tycoon Uncle Six couldn't stand it.

Even so, Debao at that time was slaughtered by the sixth uncle. And the current Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, has not yet reached that kind of Cheng dù, although it is also at a loss, but it is only a small loss, relying on Li Mingbao's three movies, the strength of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line is not a big loss, and after the sixth uncle realized that the movies he made were not easy to sell, the production of Shaw Brothers movies was even lower than the same period in history, and those actors were raised at the lowest price, filming is a matter of Shaw Brothers' popular movie stars, and even if it is a popular Shaw Brothers movie star, the amount of filming is not much.

is also thanks to the cheating system that Uncle Sixth made when he first made movies, and the same salary as an actor is the salary, salary or something, and it is only interesting. This will allow Shaw Brothers to last longer. As for whether the actors who have made meritorious contributions to the Shaw Brothers are at a loss, it is not in the consideration of the sixth uncle.

The current Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, for Li Mingbao, is just a ball, maybe put it for a day or two, it is not fresh, but it is better to put it in the refrigerator, and it tastes as delicious. In history, when Debao acquired Shaw Brothers, the meatballs of Shaw Brothers Cinemas were actually no longer strong, and the muscles and flesh in them were all falling apart, although they could still be eaten, but they were delicious or something, don't think about it, it's a blessing not to have diarrhea.

It's a pill anyway, and now the sixth uncle is even more intentional to let go, Li Mingbao didn't talk about it, and said directly: "Since the sixth uncle is interested, then I can't help but give the sixth uncle your face." If I really want to buy it, I will accept it from Shaw Brothers Cinemas, but I have no interest in Shaw Brothers movies. After all, the biggest value of Shaw Brothers movies is the film library, and I have just entered this industry now, and I don't need to enrich the film source, the biggest value of Shaw Brothers movies, and for me, I don't have much interest. So if I want to buy, I'm just going to buy theaters, and as for the rest, I'm not interested in anything. ”

The library of Shaw Brothers movies may be an eye-catching thing for others, even Zou Wenhuai. But for people like Li Mingbao, he lacks everything, that is, he is not short of movies, he really lacks movies, and he can't shoot it himself. What are you doing with Shaw Brothers' film sources? Do collecting? He didn't have the money to get to that Cheng dù yet.

In addition, if Li Mingbao really wants to accept this thing, the sixth uncle will definitely sit on the ground and start the price, in the eyes of the sixth uncle, the value of these films is extremely high, Li Mingbao wants to take it, it is definitely not possible to do it without bleeding, a chicken rib makes Li Mingbao spend a lot of money, Li Mingbao is not wronged, naturally it is impossible to follow the script. So when it came to business, Li Mingbao immediately divided all the things of the Shaw Brothers.

Cinemas are cinemas, movies are movies, and they can't be confused.

After hearing Li Mingbao's words, the sixth uncle breathed a sigh of relief. As Li Mingbao thought, Uncle Six took the source of Shaw Brothers movies very seriously. This time I asked Li Mingbao to take over the Shaw Brothers, in my heart, what the sixth uncle wanted to sell was only the Shaw Brothers' theater, and as for the Shaw Brothers movie, the sixth uncle had no plans to make a move. And he was afraid that Li Mingbao would associate the acquisition of Shaw Brothers Cinemas with Shaw Brothers Films, and he didn't know what to say at that time.

And now with Li Mingbao's words, Uncle Six is no longer entangled, the theater chain is the theater line, the movie is the movie, and it is of great benefit to the sixth uncle and Li Mingbao separately.

"I still have to eat one bite at a time, Uncle Six, although I am old, but after all, I started as a movie, and I didn't plan to make a move about Shaw Brothers movies. When people are old, they always have to leave some thoughts, and Shaw Brothers movies not only have my thoughts, but also the thoughts of our Shao family.

Think about how much suffering and how many sins our family suffered when we came to Hong Kong to make a movie? It's not just me, it's our family. Now, although the glory of Shaw Brothers movies is gone, after all, it has entrusted our hard work. When it comes to movies, I don't plan to just shoot like this. Let's talk about the cinema chain.

Li Sheng, since you intend to win the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, then I won't talk much nonsense. Cinema, I'm going to hand it over to you, but at this price, I won't let go. Now there are three cinema chains available in Hong Kong, and our Shaw Brothers cinema line is the largest of them. Even if it is sold, there will be a suitable price, otherwise I would rather keep the theater in my own hands.

Of course, if you want to get a big cinema line cheaper, I have another way, which is much better than now, that is, rent, I will rent the cinema to you, and the cinema will be used during the lease period, I won't care about you, but when it comes to the term, I will take it back. But in doing so, the price of Shaw Brothers Cinemas is lower. How you choose, it's up to Li Sheng to yourself. The sixth uncle's appearance of thinking about Li Mingbao made Li Mingbao feel nauseous.

Renting a theater is another such idea. At the beginning, Debao suffered such a dark loss, although the price seemed to be less, but in the end the gains outweighed the losses. Of course, at that time, Pan Disheng acquired Shaw Brothers, and the money in his hand was not much, and it was already very good to be able to rent a theater.

In addition, Pan Disheng's main career is not actually a movie, and it is very important to say that Pan Disheng made Debao out of Debao just to make Pomeranian people laugh. His main career is still in the famous brand, the movie industry, he can make money, although he is happy, he can't make money, and he earns beautiful women, he also earns it. So at the beginning, everything could be saved, but in the end, Debao disappeared, and there was nothing to be wronged about. is congenitally insufficient, the boss wants a pickled girl, and he doesn't plan to stay in this industry for a long time, and it's a rare thing not to disperse.

And Li Mingbao is different from Pan Disheng, what he wants is the right to speak in this industry, nothing is in his hands, so it's a fart. Although the rental of the cinema chain is cheap, if you get the cinema chain right, and when you reach the age limit, with the sixth uncle's money-loving personality, if you want to continue renting, you will either pay a greater price, or you will just break up in two, no matter how you look at it, it will be a loss. For the sake of some early benefits, the benefits of the later stage will be thrown out, as long as people have a sense of the overall situation, they will not do this.

So Uncle Sixth seems to have thrown out a cheap method, but in fact, there is only one way for Li Mingbao to go, and that is to buy the theater. Uncle Sixth threw out this idea, where is it for Li Mingbao's consideration, it is completely waiting for Li Mingbao to cultivate the market for him, and when the market really rises, he will take back the theater chain, and it is still Uncle Sixth who earns.

The most fundamental problem is that Uncle Six has ideas about the movie, even if it is taken back after ten years, as long as the world is good at that time, Uncle Six will not worry about having no money to make. Although the sixth uncle scoffed at Li Mingbao for saying that he would work for another thirty years, the sixth uncle felt that he could still persevere.

"Uncle Six, I won't think about renting a cinema, you know, I have so much money now that I have no place to spend it, and now I have a cinema to buy, why should I rent it? You also said that if you want to do it, you will make this thing a business, and if you rent something, can he be considered a business?

So Shaw Brothers Cinemas, I'm definitely going to buy it. But what about this price, Uncle Six, you also have to be mentally prepared, because my price may not be very high. Because after I bought the theater, I had to renovate the theater. You know, I've been to Hollywood, and the movie theaters over there have a lot of utilization.

At present, all the cinemas in Hong Kong do not meet the requirements, and the space may be very large, but the utilization rate is really not very good. If I buy the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, it will need to be renovated, and the money spent here is definitely not much cheaper than buying a movie theater, and if it costs too much money to buy a movie theater, the decoration money will be less. My requirement is that at least ten years will not expire, and to ensure the quality of the cinema for ten years, with the current decoration process of the Shaw Brothers Cinema Line, then basically have to start over, like a new cinema line. Li Mingbao said endlessly.

Although Li Mingbao said at the beginning that he was not short of money, it was because he wanted to buy the theater chain, and he had money to prove his determination. But when it comes to the price issue, Li Mingbao will also cry poor, otherwise the sixth uncle will have to treat him as a wronged man.

And when he talked about the decoration later, it was not Li Mingbao's exaggeration. Uncle Sixth has always been an iron rooster, even for himself. In the future, those stars in Hong Kong, like Zhou Yan and Andy Lau, will have better housing conditions than Uncle Six.

You must know that Uncle Sixth can be regarded as the boss of these people, but his house is not as good as these stars. Iron rooster to such a Cheng dù, that is also wonderful. If it's the same for yourself, let alone your own industry, everything is just enough. Even making movies is a place that can be saved, and you can't afford to spend money on things that make money, let alone the decoration of the theater.

If the movie theaters in the theater chain are not strong enough, the sixth uncle is not willing to take out a big man. The seat stereo inside is also the lowest configuration. Even Uncle Six's leading movie theater is like this, and those in the back seat can't hear the lines of the movie clearly, which is simply too common, and the sound is broken and repaired and continued to be used, which is the standard.

How could Li Mingbao get used to such a thing? The cinema chain bought it for overhaul, and it became an inevitable thing. In Li Mingbao's view, only by giving up the capital can we make more money. Especially for future big-investment movies, you press the seats in tatters, and the stereo is so bad that you can hear the noise. No matter how well the movie is made, the audience's senses will not be good.

If you get these things up, and then raise the ticket price appropriately, others will be comfortable and will naturally be able to pay for it. If it's all in tatters, raising the price is looking for death. For the sake of the future of Hong Kong films, these things must also be changed. So when discussing the price now, Li Mingbao also raised these questions.
