It is very easy for Jiang Zhiqiang to get along with those people, but the key is that Jiang Zhiqiang's purpose is not just to get along with them. Because doing so is only a little good for yourself, but not much for the whole company.

Jiang Zhiqiang is so active, it is nothing more than wanting to reach an agreement with other companies before Li Mingbao's movie is made, so that the film can be screened directly. But this kind of thing is not something that can be solved by those company personnel who sell old films.

So friendship is friendship, but when it comes to movies, those people can only say that they can't help. The previous friendship was of little use at all. Of course, it's not completely useless, at least a few people from the company have expressed their desire to watch the movie, and as for whether they will recommend it, that's something God knows.

And the results of such exchanges obviously did not satisfy Jiang Zhiqiang. If the movies come out, then Jiang Zhiqiang will still talk to these people about birds' eggs. With the quality of your own movie, you will be able to push the movie out, although the situation will not be too good, but it will not be useless.

Li Mingbao also knew about Jiang Zhiqiang's busy work during this time, but he didn't ask too much. It is good that Jiang Zhiqiang can launch the movie before it is made, and it can prove that Jiang Zhiqiang's strength on the Hollywood side is indeed not bad.

But even if it is not launched, Li Mingbao will not take it to heart. Because Li Mingbao knows that the decision power of this movie will not be in the hands of those film company employees who sell old films, they don't have such a big right to make decisions like this, it is possible to recommend it, but if it is recommended by these people who have no identity in the company, the effect will not be much better.

"Ah Leopard, it seems that my friendships are not strong enough in this movie, and I am ashamed of Ah Leopard's trust in me!" Jiang Zhiqiang said helplessly to Li Mingbao.

"Don't worry, you're actually doing a good job now, I didn't think that you would be able to launch this movie before it came out. After all, these Westerners don't value friendship at all, unlike us Orientals, who care more about practical interests. Until we bring them benefits, even if you talk about things like a flower, it won't be of much use.

But as long as it can bring them benefits, even if they can call us God, it is all right. So you don't have to worry at all. Anyway, most of the scenes in our movie are shot indoors, and the framing is relatively simple, which can also speed up the shooting, even if Ivan is not as fast as Wang Jing.

But this movie is in his hands, and it will be more than a month at most, and at that time, we will talk to those film companies, in fact, it will be the same. And what I'm more interested in now is, how are you going to put our company's films out there? Li Mingbao said.

Li Mingbao's question was aimed at the North American market. There are many differences between the film circles in Hollywood and Hong Kong, and the most critical point is that the film companies on the Hollywood side and the cinema chains where the movies are shown do not belong to the same company.

In Hong Kong, film projection is basically a big company, like Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest, Golden Princess, etc., they not only have their own film companies, but also their own film screening theaters. In Hollywood, this is not the case, because on the Hollywood side, there is an antitrust bill.

When it comes to the antitrust bill, the power of the bill in the United States is quite huge. The introduction of this bill directly led to the collapse of Rockefeller's oil empire that year, and lost a lot of vitality, although Rockefeller reinvigorated later, but the introduction of this bill at that time was absolutely fatal for them.

And for those big Hollywood companies, this bill is actually not a good thing. You must know that at the very beginning, those big companies in Hollywood had their own theaters.

And due to the vast terrain of North America, the number of movie theaters that can be built is definitely not a small number under the condition of fully satisfying the market. In terms of units, they are all calculated in tens of thousands, compared to the small place in Hong Kong, even a big name like Shaw Brothers only has more than a dozen less than 20 movie theaters, and when Shaw Brothers comes to Hollywood, it is not even a shrimp.

Under such circumstances, the cinema chain in Hollywood was very chaotic at the beginning, and it was a film company that could be called famous, and it had movie theaters in its hands, with more than ten or twenty small ones, hundreds of slightly larger ones, and hundreds of theaters controlled by medium film companies, which was a very normal thing.

And Hollywood giants like MGM and Paramount, which of them doesn't have thousands of theaters in their hands? Without thousands of cinemas, you're embarrassed to go out and say hello to others.

But such a good day didn't last long, and when the anti-monopoly bill paid attention to this area, no matter how big the film company was, it couldn't bear it. After all, American giants like Rockefeller have not blocked this sharp knife, and the film company is as delicious as a lamb in the face of the antitrust bill, and it can cut it as much as it wants.

Of course, even now, in fact, film companies and those theaters are inextricably linked, although the knife of the anti-monopoly bill is sharp, but with so many lessons from the past, Hollywood giants know how to dodge the butcher's knife as long as they are not fools.

But in general, Hollywood's cinema chains and film companies are actually two of them. Since it is two deposits, Jiang Zhiqiang's method of doing things must be divided into two kinds. If you want the movie to be released, Jiang Zhiqiang either chooses to directly negotiate business with several major theaters in Hollywood, so that the movie can be released smoothly.

And another way is to entrust a Hollywood film company to carry out the film of Ming Leopard Company on behalf of the baggage, such a method, in the end, the box office is shared, not only to the theater money, but also to the film company to share the money, after all, the movie is their line, how can it be done without charging travel fees? They are not living Lei Feng.

Two methods, on the surface, Li Mingbao and they are in direct contact with the theater chain, and winning the screen is the most cost-effective deal. After all, if this is done, there will be less local Hollywood film companies to share such a force, even if they only share a layer of box office, it is definitely not a small amount, not to mention the film companies on the Hollywood side, there is no good stubble at all, and they would rather not do it.

Generally speaking, those large companies directly take the bulk of the package fee, and they add the share of the theater chain to account for at least 70% of the total box office, even if Zou Tycoon wants to release a movie here, they generally give Zou Tycoon 17%, 18% of the ratio, and 20% of the share, which is very little.

But even so, Zou Daheng is just as willing, no way, who told Hollywood that the box office is calculated in dollars? The box office of a movie is 10 million US dollars, and if it is divided into 20 percent, Zou Daheng can get 2 million US dollars.

Two million dollars may not seem like much, very little, but you must know that this thing is converted into Hong Kong dollars, and at the current foreign exchange rate, it is 16 million Hong Kong dollars. With so much money, their current largest box office in Hong Kong, "Brother and Sister", has a total box office of only 11 million in Hong Kong. This is still without removing the cost, excluding the cost, the money that can really reach Zou Daheng's hands is only six or seven million Hong Kong dollars.

It's more than twice as much as the money earned by 20 cents. In such a situation, Zou Daheng is naturally willing to come to Hollywood to make dollars, even if the movies that are not very popular are divided into very little, and the money he gets is more than the box office of Hong Kong's local movies.

If he is reluctant to make money, Jiang Zhiqiang can talk about business with the theater chain in the United States, after all, it seems to be a good deal to lose the money of one less company. But in reality, the situation is not as rosy as imagined.

Because it is definitely not a good business to talk directly about the release with the theater chain. You know, Hollywood's film industry is very good, reaching the envy of this place all over the world, and it attracts filmmakers from all over the world.

In such an unprecedented situation, the status of the cinema chain is naturally very important. Of course, this is common all over the world, and it is the same in Hong Kong, why Shao Tycoon is so popular, isn't it because he controls the theater chain? And the situation on the side of the United States is even more cruel.

Although there are several major cinema chains in Hong Kong, it seems that they are fighting fiercely, but compared to Hollywood, it is simply a drop in the bucket. Don't look at Hollywood, there are many theaters, strong strength, and large movie theaters, so I think it's easier to get ahead than Hong Kong.

If you hold such an idea, it is basically equivalent to having no way out in Hollywood. As mentioned earlier, Hollywood has attracted the attention of filmmakers from all over the world, which means that people from all over the world want to get a vote here.

In such a situation, there are more theaters in Hollywood, but there are more people who need theaters. It's not just about competing with Hollywood locals, it's about playing with people all over the world. In such a situation, the competition for Hong Kong cinemas will be put on Hollywood, which is basically the level of kindergartens.

There are so many people grabbing the theater line, so as the boss of the theater chain, the shelf is naturally bigger. If a company like Li Mingbao wants to negotiate business directly with the theater chain, it is simply equivalent to looking for abuse.

You have to carry this company. Jing has no back. Jing, if you want to have connections and no connections, if you want to achieve no achievements, such a three-no company, those theater bigwigs receive countless people every day. If you want those bigwigs to notice you in the vast sea of people, even if the quality of your movie is really good and can become popular, it is basically as unreliable as finding a needle in the sea.
