Chapter 516: Let's Talk About Something Practical
Li Mingbao said such things, it is definitely not a lie, the big 6 has always been very strict in the control of the film industry, but they forgot that such strict control is not a good thing for the film industry itself. After all, the big 6 regulates movies, which does not mean that foreign countries also control movies.
And movies are such things, now it's time for big changes, big 6 control, natural exhibition is slow, plus big 6 has too little capital investment in the industry, not to mention the exhibition, it's very good not to shrink, compared with the rapid change outside, it's just two concepts.
And the film industry is not only valued at home, but also valued abroad, how can Hollywood give up the big 6 market if it undertakes such a big political task? When a certain time comes, the big 6 market will definitely be opened, and at that time, with the current background of the big 6 movies, how can it be the opponent of foreign films?
Although Li Mingbao doesn't care so much about the decline of the film industry in Big 6, after all, he now runs the United Cinema Line, and he is also a bigwig in the film industry. The big 6 market, rather than giving it to Hollywood at that time, it is better to let yourself taste it first and let yourself enter, which is much better than letting Hollywood enter.
Li Mingbao's thoughts, of course Lao Li didn't know. But what Li Mingbao meant by this, Lao Li still understood it very clearly. Although I believe that Li Mingbao said that the domestic film market will be opened sooner or later, I don't know how long it will take at this time, so for the time being, domestic people don't need to think about this matter, but he is not the kind of person who only sees in front of himAlthough this time, it will not be in recent years, maybe there will be no problems in ten years.
Opening early and opening late, the effect of this is two different things. What is the situation of the domestic film market, Lao Li also understands a little bit, lack of funds, lack of technology, lack of ideas, and lack of independence. Basically, there is a lack of anything else except for the lack of personnel. If this were not the case, the Big 6 side would not allow the co-production of the zĂ i, it can be said that the Big 6 has always understood the plight of the film market.
And I've been working hard, to say that the history of the big 6 introducing foreign films, it's actually quite long, since the founding of the People's Republic of China, it has not been broken, and it used to be those movies that were imported from socialist countries, but in recent years, the Soviet boss has also been sluggish, and the relationship has long been broken, so for the movies of the Western world, and movies from other places, it's not so repulsive, think about even Japanese movies, the big 6 have been introduced, although it is an introduction with a political purpose, but after all, it has been introduced. Nowadays, if you want to say that the best place for the film industry in the whole of East Asia is Hong Kong, otherwise such an institution as a circulation port would not appear in Hong Kong, not somewhere else.
To sum up, Hong Kong movies cannot be said to be the most advanced films in the world now, but they are still much more advanced than the big 6 movies. Although many of these movies have a very serious conflict of values with the big 6, it doesn't mean that Hong Kong movies can't be screened on the big 6 side at all, and there are many movies in Hong Kong that are suitable for the big 6 side. The main reason why there is such a problem now is that the problem in Hong Kong is relatively complicated, and everything will involve politics, so the people above still have concerns about the opening up of Hong Kong films.
But what Li Mingbao said is also true, if you really want to cut off contact with the outside world for decades, and when it is time to open up, with the circulation of foreign films, coupled with their huge funds, it will not be easy for the domestic film industry to catch up at that time. Although perhaps in terms of literary films, the strength of Big 6 movies is much stronger than that of Hong Kong.
But Lao Li is not a person in the circle, he can only be regarded as an outsider, so according to his outsider's understanding, the degree of dissemination and communication ability of literary films are far inferior to the dissemination of commercial films. And ordinary people are also shaped by commercial films to shape the value of life, and they have to watch literary films to understand and guard against the thoughts of the outside world, the effect is definitely not good, just like letting a primary school student listen to a college student's class, and the person who can understand is definitely a genius.
To understand is to understand, and to understand is to understand. Lao Li is actually not so resistant to Li Mingbao's mention. But the matter proposed by Li Mingbao is really big, and Lao Li is not easy to speak, at most, he will hand this matter to the people above to deal with.
"Boss Li, I understand that your words are correct, the current domestic film industry is indeed not so prosperous, although we have not produced relatively good movies in recent years, but due to administrative problems, even if these movies are made, there is no good help for the film market, after all, the film market itself is maintained by film studios.
And domestic film studios have a lot of problems in movies, and it is not easy to solve them for a while. So Boss Li, I can't answer this mention of you, so I can only hand it over to the leaders above to deal with it. Boss Li, don't worry, about this matter, I will definitely report to the top as it is, and give you an answer as much as possible. To be honest, I still admire the circulation port you made, and it is not something that ordinary people can do to integrate the film forces of the entire East Asia. Lao Li said complimentingly.
The last sentence, Lao Li said to the point, not to mention that he is a layman who understands that this is not easy, when Li Mingbao and his people got the port of circulation, those insiders were waiting to see the jokes, the problem in this, how can it be explained by two words? If it weren't for the joint efforts of several bigwigs in Hong Kong, and Li Mingbao gave up a lot of his own interests to feed the sixth uncle, it would be a big question whether this institution could be completed in the end.
"With Lao Li's words, I am relieved. In fact, I have already said it when I met the elder before. The film industry is very important, and it is understandable that the big 6 values it so much, but it is too slow to rely on the big 6 to show the movie, after all, the film industry is now in a situation of rapid change, I invested in a movie in the United States last year, and it cost more than 7 million US dollars, that's it, it's not a lot, really big investment movies, in Hollywood, are measured in tens of millions of dollars.
When movie special effects, especially computer special effects, mature, the investment in a movie will require hundreds of millions of dollars. This is why Hollywood's movies have remained strong, because they have money to invest, and then rely on the money to transform into actual productivity, how can the current big 6 spend so much money to invest in the film industry.
Open now, how much can catch up with some time, wait until ten or twenty years later, then the emerging technology has been formed, and then the big 6 will be even more difficult to resist, let alone the big 6, even if it is Hong Kong, it is not so easy to follow up the progress of Hollywood, which is why I made a circulation port, in fact, it is to resist the pressure of Hollywood, through the entire East Asian market, maybe there is a little ability to resist, if you rely on Hong Kong alone, encounter Hollywood movies, It's just the crushing portion.
Attaching importance to the film industry does not mean that the film industry must be imprisoned in one's own control, if there are only big 6 movies in the world, then it doesn't matter much, but the problem is that there are many more prosperous places in the world than the big 6 movies, and the big 6 aspects are imprisoned, and they are exhibited elsewhere, so that the gap will get farther and farther away, and when the time comes, the future will be bleak. Li Mingbao said with a sigh.
"Alas, this problem is very troublesome, even if it is the leader above, it is also very troubled about this problem, we also know that we can't stop it, but it can't be blocked if we don't block it, after all, the power of the big 6 film industry is too weak, and now we will enter the market competition, and the future is also bleak. So neither is it to advance, nor is it to retreat. Lao Li also sighed.
"So, now the big 6 has to try to try, after all, Hollywood's evil new technology, it is not a moment and a half to be able to fully mature, now although there is a gap, but the gap is not a world of difference, as long as it is followed up, there is still some ability to resist, after all, the big 6 compared to Hong Kong, although there is no advantage in capital and technology, but in terms of manpower and population base, that is, the number of moviegoers, compared to Hong Kong, it is much better, if the big 6 can cooperate more with Hong Kong, When the time comes, we will come out with technology and capital, and then the big 6 will come out of the market and manpower, and there will be no new roads. "Li Mingbao is also constantly bewitching at this time, if he can really open his mouth, then he can bite a large piece of fat in the big 6, and his days will be more moisturized.
"Let's not talk about this matter now, even if we talk more here, it doesn't actually make much sense, after all, the people who make the decision are still above, if they don't agree, even if we say a flower, it doesn't have any practical meaning. Instead of imagining here, let's do something practical. At this time, Lao Li had already come back to his senses, so he opened his mouth to talk about practical things.
It's not that the future of the film is not practical, but it is more pragmatic to discuss these issues now, no matter how well it is said, without the support of actual forces, it is also a castle in the air, rather than talking about these things that do not have much practical significance here, Lao Li thought of the purpose of this visit, not to talk about the future of the film industry with Li Mingbao, but to talk about Li Mingbao's investment in the big 6.
