75_75283 Hong Kong in July can be described as a hot summer. The weather in this place www.biquge.info has never been very cold, even in winter, people with physical fitness like Li Mingbao can wear a shirt to spend the winter, and all the buildings are turned on with full power of air conditioning, trying to reduce the temperature in the room a little.

But even with the air conditioner turned on at full power, on the side of the TVB building, the hustle and bustle inside still revealed the temperature outside, and it didn't cool down at all. Recently, film companies in the entire East Asian region have been very restless, and all of this restlessness comes from a new type of celebrity plan proposed by Hong Kong, and the benefits brought by this plan to everyone have made everyone calm down.

As the initiator, Li Mingbao has recently not only had to run ahead and behind for his own financing in the mainland, but also did his best for the new film system in East Asia. It's an extraordinary exertion.

Li Mingbao's celebrity star plan is undeniable in terms of novelty, and the gains in benefits are also something that all large film companies in East Asia cannot ignore. So after throwing out such a plan, it immediately attracted a lot of strong onlookers from film companies, even in areas like Wanwan, where local film companies are not very strong, they also paid enough attention to Li Mingbao's proposal.

Wanwan can't give up this benefit, let alone other regions, like Japan, they can be said to be the most accepting of the star plan like Li Mingbao. For the Japanese region, which has long been influenced by things such as famous brands, I understand very well how tempting the benefits are if celebrities also use the development ideas of famous brands to develop.

So the time spanned to July, after Uncle Six and Li Mingbao worked together, Hong Kong's high-end film companies like East Asia issued their own invitation letters. Even those film companies that have not been sent invitations are also unwilling to give up this opportunity, and send teams they think are capable to participate in this plan, their appetite is not very large, and they have not thought of swallowing the share of first-class or above stars, their biggest wish is only to have some third-rate stars, or the share of local second-rate stars.

But even such a small wish may not be able to be realized, after all, the benefits in this are very amazing, although generally speaking, whether it is a third-rate star or a first-class star, their actual influence is only maintained in the local area, and it is not so easy to expand their influence.

But even if it is the local market share, those large local film companies may not be willing to let go, they know very well that if this plan is successful, then for the outside world in the future, the thing that affects the strength of a film company will no longer be the movie itself, but the movie star who has been hyped up.

Because of this, those large film companies, even if they are third-rate stars, don't want to let go, they all get their own hands to be considered successful, as for the small and medium-sized film companies below, how can they care about their interests, large film companies? Although third-rate celebrities are in the actual rules, they are not profitable transactions, and sometimes even part of the funds are reversed, and those film companies are unwilling to let go. No matter how cost-effective a third-rate star is, isn't it also a famous star? Compared with those who can't even select the qualifications of famous stars, third-rate celebrities are still talents, not to mention that the number of celebrities above is actually selected from the third-rate celebrities, and the more third-rate celebrities in your hands, the greater the chance of your company to produce more senior celebrities.

In such a highly competitive industry, even if it is a chicken rib, there is an opportunity for him to create value. If it weren't for the fact that there are too many people in small and medium-sized film companies, and the overall strength is relatively good, then those small and medium-sized film companies, even if they want to send representatives over, do not have such an opportunity. Although such an opportunity is not official, it is more or less tacit. In the industry, only the kind of people who are completely unmotivated will not plan to send someone over, otherwise, they will not let go of such an opportunity.

Thanks to Li Mingbao's appeal, film industry personnel from many countries have come to Hong Kong, which has made other industries in Hong Kong have also benefited during this period of time, especially industries like hotels, which have received more benefits. In return, the hotel operators also began to do the reception of these outsiders.

"Sixth uncle, isn't this a little too much? I thought that Uncle Six had enough reception space here, but I didn't expect everyone to be so enthusiastic about this matter, and now even Uncle Six you can't accommodate so many people, and it even affects the normal operation of wireless. It seems that our preparation is not sufficient. Also, I think we may need to invest in a hotel or club for reception, otherwise we will be in such a hurry in the future, and it will seem that our hardware equipment is very backward. Li Mingbao said with some concern in the sixth uncle's office.

"I didn't expect everyone's enthusiasm to be so great, and I originally said that I would invite those film companies with a capital of more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars to come, even if it was about the same. But I didn't expect those small and medium-sized film companies to be so interested in this plan. As a result, the number of people is far exceeded, and we can't drive these people away, so we can only do this first. Anyway, everyone doesn't come here to enjoy, having actual benefits is fundamental, otherwise, these people wouldn't be so enthusiastic.

Specifically to make a hotel and other things, a bit of a waste, now Hong Kong's land price, is not like a few years ago, Hong Kong's land price has risen a lot recently, to invest in such a place, it needs to cost a lot of money, or just do it is better. It's not a big deal. On this issue, the sixth uncle began to pick the door by himself again.

"Uncle Six, this is not good, we must have office space such as industry conferences in Hong Kong, after all, this thing is related to the issue of the celebrity system. In order to ensure the fairness of this system, then it is necessary to have a high and low, and there must be a flow of demand, otherwise, such a system is more accurate in the first year or two, and then it will become unfair. In this way, when others bid, it will also become confusing.

Therefore, this selection type of work must be a long-term and effective system, which requires professional personnel to work for a long time, rather than being able to decide on it with a pat on the head. There is a fixed office space. This is completely different from the selection of awards such as the Academy Awards, if we save money on this, then maybe others will see the opportunity in the future, and they will get an office space elsewhere, so that our Hong Kong side is not right, and the words are not good? Regarding the sixth uncle's slamming of the door, Li Mingbao was really speechless.

Where to save and what not to save, Uncle Six didn't have a clear concept, if this office space was saved, it would be a bad thing. The celebrity system is a project that circles money, and it is a project that has a lot of money for a long time, and such a project cannot be overstated. Making an office building is what should be in the question, but now the sixth uncle wants to save capital on this, which is simply nonsense.

In fact, if you want to do a good job of this celebrity system now, for Li Mingbao, it is also a matter of trouble, in terms of technology, there is still a lack of times, so the fairness of this system will be obtained in the network era, and the information is the most perfect, not to mention the evaluation of the network era in a year or half a year, it is not a fantasy news.

At that time, the celebrity may affect his celebrity rating because of a sentence or a wrong trip. A small number of staff can do this job well. However, there are no such technical conditions at present, and Li Mingbao wants to make this system evaluated from time to time, which is simply a fantasy talk, and it can only be evaluated once every six months or once a year in order to do a good job.

And to do such a job well, the number of personnel required is also a large number, and the manpower cannot be saved at all. In such a situation, saving an external agency is definitely the most stupid decision.

"Li Sheng, you are right, but this is to pay money, and the recent profits on our wireless and Shaw Brothers side are not much. On Zou Wenhuai's Jiahe side, there are still a lot of shareholders behind him who need to pay dividends, and on the side of Xinyi City, Lei Juekun and his team have not gotten along very well recently, and it is not as easy as Li Sheng to come up with money. "The sixth uncle also understands that this is something that must be done, but the real problem is not so easy to get rid of.

Li Mingbao's ideas and creativity are first-class in Hong Kong, and even in the international arena, Li Mingbao's ability can be regarded as very outstanding. But the ability to be creative with ideas is one thing, and the practical problem is another. In reality, there is no money, and even if you have big goals, there is no point. Li Mingbao's proposal hit this weakness precisely on this weakness.

Li Mingbao also knew that Uncle Six's words were not lies, after all, Uncle Six's profitability was not at the same level as himself. They are basically eating locally in Hong Kong, and they have income from many regions with Li Mingbao, so there is no possibility of comparison at all. Even if Li Mingbao doesn't make a penny in Hong Kong and loses 100 million Hong Kong dollars every year, it is still not a problem for Li Mingbao. But the sixth uncle can't do it, they don't want to lose 100 million, even if the income and opening support of the year are equal, for a boss like the sixth uncle, it is still an uncomfortable result.
