Chapter 388: Bustling for Profit
readx;
Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang couldn't care about how entangled Li Mingbao was, and after making a clear statement to the Taiwan side, in fact, the plan for a circulation port had already surfaced. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info about this issue, the sixth uncle has already raised it with the British government of Hong Kong, and it just so happens that the governor of Hong Kong is really concerned about this achievement at this time.
After all, when the new Hong Kong Governor came to power, the feng shui was really not very good, the transformation had just been stuck on the node, the new business did not fully appear, and the old business could not be supported, coupled with political problems, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is internal and external troubles.
Whether it is for the British government of Hong Kong, or for the governor himself, there is an urgent need for a stable business, that is, a business that can support the sky. But the problem is that Hong Kong is now engaged in finance, but it is very chaotic, because their focus is on the withdrawal of British capital, to put it bluntly, the British government in Hong Kong is not for the Hong Kong locals, but for a small number of British people in Hong Kong, the world is big, the interests of the British are the greatest, in this case, even if the financial industry can improve the performance of the British government in Hong Kong, it must first open the way for the British, otherwise, just to serve Hong Kong, no matter how good they do, they will not get extra points, after all, the British government in Hong Kong looks at the face of the British.
The wealth of the British is fundamental. So even if this business has great potential, he doesn't dare to move at this time, so he can only play freely. In addition to this piece, there are not too many industries that can drive the performance of the Hong Kong government, Hong Kong's industrial base is not very good, it depends on trade, and trade is such a thing, it has never been promoted if you want to, he has a lot of regularity, and there is no room for starting. Coupled with the decline of other industrial industries, the market has become the norm.
At this time, if Hong Kong's film industry makes outstanding contributions, it will be no less than a lifesaver for the British government in Hong Kong. This is why there was so much capital inflow in the golden age of Hong Kong films in the previous life, to put it bluntly, on this issue, the Hong Kong government needs achievements, and others are also interested in the profits of the film industry, and emerging industries are the most able place to redivide the cake, and everyone takes this cake very seriously.
Originally, such a method of promotion would not have been used for eight or three years, and it would be at least a year or two before the Hong Kong government began to really make a big move on the film industry. But who called Li Mingbao made this business sweet from the beginning, and now he has launched a film market plan covering the entire East Asia, which can additionally influence the regions that were not affected and earn super profits.
Under such circumstances, it is only natural that the Governor of Hong Kong should be interested in the situation in the film industry. When Uncle Six put the plan of the United Cinema Line in the Hong Kong government, whether it was the incumbent British or the local forces, they had a clear estimate of the cake market, and if it was done well, it would definitely become a new economic growth point in Hong Kong.
With such a view, the next question will be easy to solve. It is necessary to raise the status of the film industry in Hong Kong as quickly as possible, lower the threshold of the film industry, and then use the film as the base point to promote the common development of multiple industries.
In doing so, it seems that everyone is very supportive of the film industry, but in fact, if there is no interest, everyone will not work so hard, the Hong Kong government needs economic growth points, and the powerful faction needs a new profit cake. If you don't give some benefits, why should you help your film industry?
If Uncle Six had made this proposal when the film industry was scattered in the past, the film industry would have profited, but the depth of other industries' involvement in the film industry would have been quite different. But now that the entire Hong Kong cinema chain is in the hands of Li Mingbao, it is not so easy to talk about the issue of everyone's interests.
The advantage of the unification of the cinema chain is that it is difficult for laymen to tear a hole in this thing, and even if it is torn out, without Li Mingbao and other insiders to operate, even those interest groups are not sure whether this project will succeed in the end.
As a result, interest groups outside the industry, although they also made some gains in the end, their actual income was far lower than expected. Not only that, but even the administrative documents of the Hong Kong government have made clear provisions in terms of cinemas and movies. In terms of film companies, the Hong Kong government has opened the door to convenience, even if it is some funds with black, they have opened one eye and closed one eye to let go of restrictions, so that the influx of hot money will be more than imagined.
At the same time as opening up film companies, the British government in Hong Kong has imposed stricter access restrictions on cinemas. Forget about the old movie theater line, the newly opened movie theater line, in the threshold, has increased countless times at once, basically those who want to enter the theater industry, there is no preparation for ten years to not make money at all, then you want to make a profit on the theater line.
It seems that the British government in Hong Kong is not doing a very good job, it is just that it is difficult to make a profit in ten years, as long as it survives this decade, the future is very clear, but the problem is that no company dares to invest a large sum of money at one time, and then put it there for ten years. Not to mention laymen, even insiders, those American movie giants dare not do this. Who knows if there will be any company of its own ten years from now, and if you put your funds on this piece in vain, as long as you don't have a brain, you won't make such a choice. And such an investment, the scale of the capital is very large, and the cash flow of 500 million Hong Kong dollars is the bottom, and now there are really not many people in the world who dare to eat such crabs, not to mention that this is a crab, for any company, such a project basically means poison.
After all, Hong Kong's cinema chain has a strong and unified group, under the suppression of such a group, they are already in a weak position, the initial investment is only the foundation, and the ten years are only planned things, in the absence of external interference, there will be data, if there is external interference, and it is a strong interference, basically this project is equivalent to a sinkhole, and now any company invests money in this area, there is no possibility of making money. To put it bluntly, such a condition is to let United Cinemas monopolize the law, with this administrative regulation, Li Mingbao and their United Cinemas are absolutely worry-free, and the only one who can defeat United Cinemas is United Cinemas themselves, in Hong Kong, United Cinemas has basically formulated the rules of cinemas.
Such regulations, not to mention being placed in the film industry, are eye-catching even if they are placed in any other industry, as long as they are not congenitally deficient industries, they are enough to make people blush. That is, now the British government in Hong Kong regards the film industry as a lifesaver, otherwise it would not want such conditions at all.
Those forces outside the industry, although the benefits they get in the film industry are not as much as they imagined, but in other aspects, what they get is actually not bad, for example, the film industry will not interfere in other industries at all, and that part of the benefits will be distributed by themselves. With this premise, even those laymen feel that they have lost a little and made too much effort, but they have not received much in return, but they are not too entangled in these things. After all, Li Mingbao and a few of them have allocated the film industry too well, although it seems easy for a layman to insert it to make money, but if Li Mingbao and a few of them make trouble, even if the money-making industry forms a huge loss, it is not impossible.
In line with the ultimate goal of hello, hello, everyone, Uncle Six, they and the official and other industries finally reached some agreements on the joint cinema chain. At this time, the plan of the distribution port was fermented, and it also formed a storm in the entire East Asian region.
Originally, the circulation port plan was circulated in a small area, and those filmmakers who cooperated with United Cinemas knew that this was an opportunity, a big opportunity, after hearing the plan of the circulation port. Everyone doesn't want to talk about how important Hong Kong films are in the industry now, because this is not a matter for businessmen to discuss, they care more about something that is more affordable, that is, money.
How much money Hong Kong films make to sell overseas, they are all clear. Originally, they thought that it would be almost the same if they could make some peripheral money, but now they actually have the opportunity to get a foot in Hong Kong movies.
In addition, the renovation of Hong Kong cinema lines has been put into use, so that the circulation capacity of movies has been greatly strengthened, and the film will develop vigorously, this is for sure, the more movies, the more opportunities there are, before making money for a movie a month, now you may be able to make money for several films a month, because there is not much entertainment consumption market in these years, the film industry is completely in the impact of the network, and there is no diversion of mobile phones, the consumption viscosity of movies is quite high, as long as you have a good movie, you don't have to worry about selling, how big is this market, simply unimaginable.
And the United Cinema Line is not only to mobilize Hong Kong's production capacity, but also to mobilize the entire East Asian film production capacity, everyone thought it was incredible when they heard such news, because it was too difficult to do so, so many countries and consumer groups, why should we give Hong Kong face, can't we do it ourselves?
But think about it deeper, if Hong Kong does this, there is really no problem, first of all, the current Hong Kong movies are golden signboards, and regions with economic strength, such as South Korea and Japan, their local films, are really not very good now, Korean directors are now thinking about how to win awards in Europe, a long list of literary films, the market is really not too good, and Japan, not to mention, the TV industry may be a little better, but the film industry, even the sales of a....v films are not very big, Not to mention other movies, otherwise Chen Long would not be so popular in Japan now. To put it bluntly, the film market in the regions with economic strength is not very good, and the regions without economic strength, let alone the film market, in this case, Hong Kong films cannot be said to be outstanding, but they can be regarded as unbeatable.
Therefore, Hong Kong films really have the hard power to launch such activities. At that time, even if it is not a local movie in Hong Kong, as long as it is released in Hong Kong and achieves a good box office, then after returning to China, there will be a golden signboard, which can attract more audiences to watch the movie, which is equivalent to sharing the fame of Hong Kong films.
