Chapter 517: Two Collaborative Projects
Seeing that Lao Li had changed the topic, Li Mingbao didn't care, being able to say so much was actually quite good, although he had talked to Lao Chang about such a problem before. But what kind of person is the elder? It is not an exaggeration to say that there are all kinds of opportunities, Li Mingbao's thing, in Li Mingbao's opinion, is very important, but for people like the elder, such a thing is average, maybe it can't even catch up with the general, otherwise, it wouldn't have changed until now.
Now it's just taking advantage of Lao Li to come over, then Li Mingbao doesn't mind deepening the impression of the elder, even if the elder doesn't take action in person, he will say a word or two, and then negotiate with the film studio on the big 6 side, and there will be no high-level concerns, if you move around more, maybe new hope will come out again.
After all, although he wants the big 6 market, it is impossible to completely occupy it, and the film studios on the side of the big 6 are already in the active position, and when the time comes to cooperate with them, I don't believe they will refuse. After all, cooperation is good for Li Mingbao, and it is also good for them. The film industry, from the very beginning, appeared to make money, although it now has a certain political significance, but in essence, it is still a tool to make money.
Don't the big 6 film studios want to show better? Living on funds every year, they are so happy that they don't want to eat and drink spicy food by themselves? What are you kidding, if you can have a big meal, who will go to eat wowotou? Cooperating with Li Mingbao, there is money to be made, and there will be no risks in politics, who will miss such a good thing?
"Since Lao Li wants me to say something practical, then I'll say something practical. I have two projects in my hands now, both of which can be cooperated with the big 6 side, and the investment is relatively large, and the benefits for the big 6 side are also very great, I don't know if you want to hear about it, Lao Li? Li Mingbao said with a smile.
"Two projects? A big investment? I would like to hear about it. At this time, Lao Li said with great interest. Although Lao Li has never been abroad, he also knows that Li Mingbao's strength is very strong, a few months ago, Li Mingbao earned billions of Hong Kong dollars in the Hong Kong government, although there may be some other things in it, but after all, Li Mingbao has earned so much in name.
In addition, Li Mingbao had hundreds of millions of dollars in cash before, as well as a large area of industry in the United States, so if Li Mingbao can say that it is a big investment project, it is definitely not small, and the most important thing is that Li Mingbao has a lot of foreign exchange in his hands, and these things are urgently needed by the big 6, invest in the big 6, then this money will become a big 6 thing, the main purpose of Lao Li is not for Li Mingbao's money? Otherwise, how could it be that with a few words from Li Mingbao, the elder sent Lao Li over?
"These two projects are actually related to the film industry, and since Big 6 has no funds to invest in this area, it is my duty to do so. One is the investment in the cinema chain, and the other is the investment in the film and television city. I don't know if Lao Li likes it or not? Li Mingbao said.
"Cinemas, I know, just like the United Cinema you got in Hong Kong, right? But what is this film and television city, I don't quite understand, is it a place for filming? Lao Li said this, and asked with some doubts.
He is definitely no stranger to cinemas, but in the film and television city, Lao Li is somewhat confused. Lao Li knows a lot about the role of the film and television city. Although there is no quite professional film and television city here in Big 6, it doesn't mean that there is no such thing, it's just that it's not very professional, and you can use whatever movie you want, like many old places here, and you can use it when filming.
It is precisely knowing some of the situation in the film and television city that Lao Li will be puzzled, because this thing, if you get it casually, you can film, even if Li Mingbao wants to make it more formal, it is not a big deal, compared to the construction of the theater chain, how can this project be regarded as a big project?
"Yes, the two projects I am talking about are these two projects, since the cinema chain understands Lao Li, I won't say more, the film and television city project, in my opinion, the investment may be greater than the investment in the cinema chain. After all, professional things can't be done with a casual flicker, even in Hong Kong, the Shaw Brothers set, in my opinion, is not much of a thing. After all, there is very little land in Hong Kong, and Uncle Six has always been more picky.
So there is a big gap between the set he made and the real top film and television city. Especially for a place like our country with a long history and culture, a truly perfect film and television city, it is necessary to study the history and culture, from the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties to the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, and even some characteristic buildings of the Republic of China, all of which need to be made. Time spans so long, coupled with the various characteristics of multiple dynasties, just the evidence is a rather troublesome thing, and when it comes to construction, the time required is quite short.
Compared with building a building now, all kinds of buildings in the film and television city need professional personnel to control, and it takes a lot of effort to invite these people, plus some retro buildings, and there are not a few technical talents needed. Therefore, if you really want to build this film and television city, it will not be possible to do it in a short time, maybe it will take ten years, maybe it will really meet my requirements, and the funds to be spent will be at least hundreds of millions of dollars, maybe billions of dollars, it is not an impossible thing.
Compared with the construction of the cinema chain, this film and television city is the real big trouble. These two projects, if they are really done, then for the film industry, not to mention the benefits of the big 6 film industry, even if it is the film industry of East Asia, it will also be of great benefit, after all, the whole East Asia is talking about the Chinese culture of learning, in the history and culture, everyone's essence is almost the same, if this film and television city is established, it will not only serve the country, but also serve those countries abroad, and even if it is Hollywood, it will also need to use this film and television city. When Li Mingbao said this, he couldn't help but fall into the world of imagination.
The current big 6 does not yet have a professional film and television city, and Li Mingbao now hopes to get a share of this industry, although the investment is large, but the return is also huge. Although in the film industry, many laymen don't know much about things like film and television cities, so they don't pay so much attention to this thing. But in the eyes of real film industry insiders, the film and television city is definitely a lifeblood. Otherwise, the set of Shaw Brothers would not be so prosperous, and Zou Wenhuai would not be so envious and jealous of this thing in history.
If the film and television city is not important, with the personality of Uncle Six, how can it be possible to spend a lot of effort to make a Shaw Brothers studio, and then other studios and film and television cities are established, Uncle Six will not spend so much effort to suppress it, isn't this thing that can make money, and can also be used to deal with opponents, if someone has a bad relationship with him, or infringes on the interests of Uncle Six, and does not give that film company its own studio, such a means can make the opponent want to cry without tears, if the opponent is strong to get the movie out, I don't know how much the cost will go up.
Hengdian has been able to stand tall for so many years, and even those big domestic directors have to give them face when they see the general manager of Hengdian, isn't it because Hengdian not only occupies the first opportunity, but also forges ahead and makes more sets? Even if there are a lot of film and television cities after that, doesn't it hurt the foundation of Hengdian? At the peak, Hengdian is definitely making money every day, and its degree of making money is even more refreshing than CCTV's advertising business.
And now that Li Mingbao has money, in terms of planning, it is even bigger than Hengdian, and he really wants to get this thing, and Li Mingbao will sit and collect money in the future, which is an extremely cost-effective deal. What's more, Li Mingbao's film and television city can not only absorb the big 6 market, plus the relationship between the circulation port, but also be able to gain a foothold in the overseas market, plus his relationship in Hollywood, the United States, to get this thing out, then it is equivalent to Li Mingbao occupies an important position in the world film industry.
Therefore, this film and television city, compared with the theater, is more valued by Li Mingbao. The most important thing is that Li Mingbao thought about it before, and he was able to let himself spend the cash in his hand and turn it into an industry, in addition to the big head of the theater, it seems that only the film and television city can completely consume his own funds, during the construction of the film and television city, this thing is a gold-absorbing beast, and with Li Mingbao's current profitability, if there are not one or two gold-absorbing beasts in his hands to use his own funds, the annual currency depreciation alone can make Li Mingbao lose a lot of money. Rather than being depreciated by the currency and getting your own funds away in vain, of course, you have to spend it yourself to make people feel comfortable.
To achieve Li Mingbao's real goal, in fact, Li Mingbao said before, there are some reservations, the construction of the cinema project, in Li Mingbao's planning, spent 200 million US dollars, it is already the sky, basically all the first-class second-rate cities in China can be covered, and there is not only one cinema in each city. The $200 million in this year will be almost $2 billion in 30 years. A movie theater costs a million dollars, and it's definitely the best movie theater out there. And to build these movie theaters, after 20 years, the value of the land alone can make Li Mingbao a lot of money. Therefore, the more theater construction, the better, but the big 6 can only bear so many theaters now, and no matter how much, even if Li Mingbao wants to spend money, he can't spend it.
Therefore, the funds that the theater chain can absorb are just like that, but the film and television city, even if it costs a billion dollars, it is completely able to eat, after all, this thing should be according to the scale that Li Mingbao expected, so it is equivalent to Li Mingbao building a small and medium-sized city independently, and the construction of a city costs one billion dollars, which is definitely quite easy. Even a billion dollars may not be enough, and the city can even apply for Guinness at that time.
