Chapter 605 Industry Conference 4
Li Mingbao's words, of course, carried a hint of demagogy. But things in this world are always nine parts true and one point false, and things are the most attractive. And Li Mingbao's ambition is actually not a true thing, but ten out of ten, because in this case, not only Li Mingbao wants to say it, but other film industry bosses also want to say it.
Li Mingbao's demagogic words were originally what everyone thought in their hearts, so they were the most impressive. Hollywood has been on the high for so many years, and it looks like it will be for many years to come, which is an honor for local Hollywood studios, but a shame for studio owners in other regions.
As long as it is a person who mixes in the industry, there is no one who does not want to be the boss of himself, this is caused by natural power, unless that person is no longer concerned about external things, otherwise there will be such thoughts, even if it is the so-called four empty monks of Buddhism, they don't also want to be the Buddha themselves? Therefore, the world is made up of desires, which are both burdens and the driving force for progress.
Li Mingbao's words are everyone's voice, although everyone knows that Hollywood is not so easy to surpass, but it does not hinder everyone YY. People who have dreams are the most wonderful people, and people who don't have dreams are similar to salted fish. Therefore, Li Mingbao's words can resonate with everyone, and let everyone not hesitate to applaud.
After the applause gradually subsided, the boss of a Japanese film company on the rostrum began to speak: "Li Sang's ambition is our wish. Although the possibility of this wish being fulfilled is very small, as long as we do not give up the hope in our hearts, there is a glimmer of possibility to transcend after all, but if we have no hope, then transcendence will become a delusion. The star system, as a new type of interest growth point launched by our East Asian film industry, all of us must pay attention to it, this system can be said to be a foundation for our development, so on the issue of the star system, I fully agree with Li Sang's system, and only a rigorous system can have a miracle. ”
For Li Mingbao's strict system, in fact, not all regional film company bosses will like it very much. Although such a rigorous system can ensure the vitality of the star system. But for those companies that are slightly weaker, they don't care about long-term interests, as long as they can make a sum of money now, then what will happen in the future, they don't care, it's a big deal to change an industry, it's right to get money, and everything else is nonsense.
However, the industry people in Japan and South Korea want to like Li Mingbao's rigorous system, because their country, in some aspects, actually relies on the rigorous system to develop to the current height, so they understand very well how much a good system has for the industry. If Li Mingbao's celebrity system is full of mistakes and omissions, they will not care too much about this plan, because they understand that such a plan will not stand the test of time at all, and may be able to benefit for a while, but it will definitely not last long. And a system that can't last long naturally can't be maintained by them expendingly.
Not only do Japanese and South Korean film companies understand this truth, but in fact, as long as they can reach a certain height and have ambitions, they all have a good impression of Li Mingbao's strict system. For them, no matter how strict the system is, it will not fall on their heads in the end, since those celebrities want to make money, they must pay something, otherwise, why do the bosses take you to pretend to take you to fly? In this world, there is no such thing as a free lunch.
If this industry conference is only attended by large film companies, then Li Mingbao's system is easy to promote. But the problem is that now there are more small and medium-sized film company personnel also running over, among which ambitious people are naturally of the same mind as large film companies, but those film companies who just want to fish in troubled waters do not have any good feelings about such a system. They just want to dig up the gold mine as much as possible, instead of building a brand image like now, which is too troublesome, who knows if their company is still there when they really get benefits? Therefore, they only care about the immediate interests, but they don't care about the future interests.
So after the boss of the Japanese film company spoke, the boss of a medium-sized film company in the audience took the microphone and said: "Boss Suzuki, what you said is light, for you large film company bosses, you can naturally afford to wait for profits, and you can also invest a lot of money, but for us small bosses, isn't it for profit to come to the meeting?"
And to be as strict as Boss Li said, who knows if in the end, we little people will be able to distribute benefits? The storm in the film industry is so big, we small bosses are living a precarious life, if the interests are too long-term, we little people may not be able to wait until that time.
So we think that this celebrity system can be used, but how much should we open the back door for those of us in the industry? You've made a lot of money, and you can't let us people even drink soup, right? Since you all say that this is the interest of the entire industry, then the interests of our little people, don't the bosses think about it? We don't stop you from making a lot of money, but we also ask you, bosses, not to prevent us from making a little money, so that everyone's life will be better and you won't get into some unnecessary trouble, right? ”
Obviously, although the boss of this medium-sized film company can't be said to be directly messing with Li Mingbao and them, what he says does mean that. To say that for the celebrity system, Li Mingbao did not completely seal some back doors, and he also understood the truth that when the water is clear, there are no fish.
But now this guy is still not satisfied, and he still wants Li Mingbao and them to open up more things, for such a request, Li Mingbao naturally can't agree. If there are still some things that are opened, then is there still any need for the authority of this celebrity system? A mess is not something everyone wants to see, why the bosses of those large film companies are so supportive of Li Mingbao is definitely not just because they came to Hong Kong when they came to Hong Kong, so that the sincerity of Li Mingbao and these people to visit them was settled.
For them, the most important thing is profit. What kind of benefits Li Mingbao can give, what kind of reply will they give. If Li Mingbao's celebrity system is obviously not in their interests, how can they nod and promote this plan? I've already patted my ass and left, so why bother to participate in this industry conference?
Therefore, Li Mingbao's system, in fact, has been determined before the meeting, and the relationship of interests has completely reached a balanced state, and in this case, it is the real reason why everyone allows Li Mingbao to play at the conference and cheers from time to time. Since the interests are all stable, the thoughts of the little people below, Li Mingbao and they naturally don't care much, and now the meeting is just for a notice.
But Li Mingbao didn't expect that in this conference, there would be such a thorn in the head, if it was just him, Li Mingbao would be able to send it away with just two words. But the problem is that this picker, very smart, did not say anything from his own point of view, but brought everyone. Although he is the company that everyone represents, at most it can be regarded as a medium-sized film company, and even most of them are small film companies.
But their number is not small. If Li Mingbao is rash, he will directly refuse this proposal, although it will not make the conference generally problematic, but it is also a factor of instability, although the strength of small companies is not enough, but there are too many ants can bite the elephant to death, if he does not care about the interests of these people at all, then maybe other small and medium-sized film companies will also have a feeling of sadness for the rabbit and the fox. If you make more people make a fuss, that's the real big trouble.
And at this time, Li Mingbao and the other film company bosses sitting on the rostrum can't use their power to suppress people at all, not because they are pure and don't know how to take advantage of them, but because when they see this boss, they all understand that using the power of the film industry to suppress that guy will not lead to anything at all.
Because that guy is from Taiwan, although he is the owner of a medium-sized film company, that is only his identity on the surface. In private, this guy is the head of a gang in Taiwan, even if he can't get along in the film industry, he can also mix in other industries, so he came out completely as cannon fodder.
So this guy essentially represents not only the will of some people in the film industry who are ready to fish in troubled waters, but also the will of those forces on the road. If you change the time, this guy's opposition will definitely not even be able to bubble up, and it will be cleaned up.
Whether it is those small and medium-sized film company forces, or the forces on the road, or the forces of the film industry in the entire East Asian region, the first two forces have to kneel no matter how bullish. But now at the industry conference, let this guy make trouble, it's really not so easy to solve.
After all, the industry conference, since it is necessary to meet the conditions that everyone agrees on, it is natural to be harmonious, and you can't play some small means, although you don't care about playing tricks or something, but on the bright side, you can't do this, because it will cause a big backlash. At least, those small and medium-sized film companies can't feel the oppression of large companies on the surface.
Although secretly they all understand that they can only endure the oppression of large film companies, but after all, it is a secret thing, and they can't talk about it in the open. But now the industry conference is a gathering on the bright side, and everyone wants to give face to each other. If the large film companies do not give face to the small and medium-sized film companies, then these small and medium-sized film companies will also not give face to the large film companies. If it is directly divided, the star system will still be a fart. So everyone present understood that the person who stood up and spoke was making trouble, but they couldn't say something outside the scene, and invisibly, those small and medium-sized film companies were kidnapped by that guy.
