Chapter 360: Return to Hong Kong
readx;
With the name of zhizuo advertising, Li Mingbao can also put some of his artists in advance in front of the mainland audience to grow their faces and raise their prices, just like many advertisements in later generations that invite celebrities to endorse, usually have a signboard of a famous international movie star, or something like an Academy Award winner, an Oscar winner and so on.

At that time, he relied on the film to raise the price of advertising, and now Li Mingbao used advertising to raise the grade of the film before the film could not enter the mainland market. When one's own film can be released in the mainland, the connection between advertising and film will complement each other, and this transaction will definitely not be lost.
Of course, it is not easy to get the current Hong Kong artists to accept advertising contracts from the mainland, this is not the era when Hong Kong artists in later generations went to the mainland on a large scale to make money, not to mention shooting advertisements, making TV, making movies, eating, drinking and singing, as long as you have money, you can do anything.
The current Hong Kong entertainment industry is quite arrogant in East Asia, let alone the mainland. And even regardless of the arrogant elements, the current Taiwan political circles attach great importance to this issue. Otherwise, Liang Jiahui would not have been banned immediately after becoming an actor. After this incident, Hong Kong filmmakers still attach great importance to the Taiwan market, and for a long time, they have been quite resistant to the mainland, and even made some more brainless moves.
Although Li Mingbao has never cared about the Taiwan market, even when he first made films, he cared most about the markets of Hong Kong and Japan, and even South Korea was ranked ahead of Taiwan, but Li Mingbao is Li Mingbao, and other people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry are quite face-saving to the Taiwan authorities. Therefore, if you want to really let your artists rest assured to take over commercials and take over movies in the future, Li Mingbao will have a lot to do after he returns to Hong Kong.
Of course, with this trip to the mainland, what Li Mingbao needs to do after returning is not only about the Taiwan market, but also about many other things that need to trouble him. So after giving Yi Kang advice, Li Mingbao relaxed a little during the last few days he stayed in the mainland, because he knew that after returning to Hong Kong in a few days, if he wanted to rest, he would have to go at least a few months later.
When Li Mingbao's special plane took off again, Li Mingbao was temporarily separated from the mainland. Of course, when he returned to Hong Kong this time, there were many fewer people in Li Mingbao and his party. Li Mingbao's father and eldest brother obviously can't leave at this time, for them, the hotel on the mainland is the top priority, as for the industry in Hong Kong, whether they are there or not, the effect is actually almost the same. The new project is what they need to pay attention to, and there are a lot of people in the Li family in Hong Kong, even if the second sister manages it, there is not much of a problem.
So on the plane back to Hong Kong this time, there was no Li Mingbao's father and eldest brother. Without them, Li Mingbao's team also has a lot of people, and the people who can run the hotel are all handed over to the eldest brother, plus Yi Kang got another group of people to talk about business, and even the beautiful lawyer invited by Li Mingbao did not follow him, he is not alone, but it cannot be said that there are many members of the team. In this way, it seems that this special plane is much more spacious.
As usual, Li Mingbao's special plane still transferred from Japan, then flew to Taiwan, and finally to Hong Kong. By the time Li Mingbao and his entourage got off the plane, it was almost evening in Hong Kong, and the first thing they did when they returned to Hong Kong, Li Mingbao met with Sister Zi, and then spent a good night. It's not that Li Mingbao is anxious, it's mainly that for almost two months on the mainland, he hasn't touched a bit of meat, he is really greedy, and if he doesn't do some exercise when he comes back, Li Mingbao will become a monk.
It wasn't until he got up the next day that Li Mingbao started his real work. The first person who needs to be contacted is the sixth uncle, especially the sixth uncle, Li Mingbao is in the mainland, and he has been staying for almost two months, and the decoration of the theater has been completed, and Li Mingbao has come back.
Although there is nothing for the sixth uncle to supervise such a project, as the most energetic boss, the sixth uncle will have no problem working for another twenty years. But with the money from selling cabbage and the heart of selling white noodles, even if the sixth uncle is broad, he will be very unhappy, and in fact, the sixth uncle is not very open-minded, Li Mingbao looks like he doesn't care about it at all, if the sixth uncle doesn't lose his temper with Li Mingbao, it will be impossible at all.
When Li Mingbao drove to the Lee Stage, he found that the Lee Stage had become unrecognizable, the Lee Stage, which was rebuilt from an old-fashioned theater, has now become a very modern cinema, although it is not as tall as those flagship stores 20 years later, but in Hong Kong now, the new shape of the Lee Stage is absolutely eye-catching.
It's a pity that Li Mingbao was not in Hong Kong at all when Li Mingbao was remodeled on the stage, so he doesn't even know where his office is now. Fortunately, there were also people watching the Li Stage at this time, and when they saw the arrival of the big boss, someone immediately led Li Mingbao to his office.
It didn't take long for the sixth uncle, Zou Wenhuai, Cui Xiaoming, and the Xiang brothers to come. Seeing Li Mingbao, except for Cui Xiaoming, several other people did not give Li Mingbao a good look. Li Mingbao also knew that he was at a loss, so he calmly dealt with the cold faces of several people.
After a few people sat down, the sixth uncle said to Li Mingbao without yin or yang: "Oh, I don't know how to do it recently, the engineering team on the mainland has to ask me everything, a person who doesn't have many shares, but he copied the boss's heart, and he couldn't get a return for his efforts, and he was working for others in vain, and I didn't know if there was something wrong with my brain, and I actually made such a childish move before, and this time it was really a big loss." If some people don't come back, I'll have to sell my wireless to fill the hole. When people are old, they can't even use their brains very well. ā
Knowing that the sixth uncle was venting his grievances, Li Mingbao naturally wouldn't stand up to the bull, so he said with a smile: "Sixth uncle, you are a senior master, why bother with a junior like me?" I know what I've been doing lately, it's a bit inauthentic, haven't I come back? Tonight at the Peninsula Hotel, I will make amends to Uncle Six. By the way, I apologize to everyone, I didn't expect things to be so difficult, it dragged on for a long time. Don't worry, if I do something wrong, I will naturally give you an explanation, and I won't let your efforts go in vain. ā
"Who wouldn't say pretty things? We are tired and tired in Hong Kong to help others do things, but others live well in the mainland, and I heard that someone lives in a state guesthouse for a month or two in the mainland, and I envy this kind of treatment. At this time, Zou Wenhuai also began to mend the knife.
"I'm sincere, so let's do it, I'll give each company, each company a script, the script fee is meaningful, 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, I don't want any other money, this kind of reparation, is it sincere?" Li Mingbao pretended to be distressed and said.
"It's pretty much the same, Li Sheng, what you are doing this time is really not authentic, we new entrants to the industry have been about to die of exhaustion for a while, not to mention the sixth uncle, and we have to do work for the construction of the United Cinema Line, and we have to help you settle some troubles with the British government in Hong Kong, even the news that has come out of Taiwan recently is not very good, you have been gone for two months, and many people are about to sit still.
Two days ago, a friend from Taiwan called me and asked Li Sheng if you have completely fallen to the mainland, so not only will Li Sheng be unlucky, but we will also have to eat and hang up. Xiang Huasheng also said at this time.
"No, I just went over there to make some investment, the most important thing is to help our family, and I didn't do much of my own business. And after coming back this time, I am afraid that there will be a long period of time, and it will not pass again, and the Taiwan side is too nervous. Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"That's fine, on the side of the British government in Hong Kong, with the face of the sixth uncle, it won't go too far, but the affairs on the Taiwan side are quite troublesome. You also know the influence of Taiwan on the Hong Kong side, although Li Sheng, you may not care too much about their feelings, but after all, there are still a considerable number of people in Hong Kong, who rely on Taiwan for food, and if they are forced too hard, problems will inevitably arise. If they come up with a regulation, things will be really in trouble at that time, and there may be problems with our joint cinema chain. Zou Wenhuai said.
"Is that an exaggeration? Won't I just go there for a month or two? Is Taiwan too sensitive? Besides, even if I really have contact with that side, can Taiwan really do something to the United Chamber? What movies can I watch in Taiwan now? Just to warn and kill an industry under my control, I don't believe that Taiwan can really make such a loss-making deal. Li Mingbao saw that Zou Wenhuai actually continued to talk about this, and said a little indifferently.
Although Taiwan does have strict control over artists in Hong Kong, otherwise there would be no reason for the actor to be banned. But artists and bosses are completely two different concepts. Li Mingbao has never been an artist, he is the boss, and he is a boss who has a good influence in the industry.
Taiwan must dare to treat him like an artist, and Li Mingbao will certainly suffer some losses at that time, but Taiwan's losses will also be great. Don't think that people in the film industry have no influence in Taiwan. Although Taiwanese are not good at making movies, there are definitely a lot of capable people, and they will block the United Cinema line, and then Taiwan itself will be able to make trouble within itself.
If he starts with Li Mingbao alone, it will be even more of a joke, Li Mingbao does not have his own film company, and he uses other people to make movies. Although they can also ban Li Mingbao's brokerage company, don't forget that the interests of the people in this company are not only related to Li Mingbao himself, but also to other bigwigs in Hong Kong.
As for banning Li Mingbao himself, if he doesn't ban the people who help Li Mingbao do things, the impact on Li Mingbao will be even smaller. Taiwan's ban on Li Mingbao is, at most, a ban on the movies he invests in. And for people like Li Mingbao, he can not care about the Taiwanese market at all, just one or two million NT$20 million at the box office, and he has to share the profits with local cinemas, and in the end, it will not exceed 5 million Hong Kong dollars at most, what can he do with this money?ć.ć
