Li Hao stayed at the Peninsula Hotel that night.

After taking a bath, Li Hao lay on the bed.

Narrowed his eyes slightly.

Golden Harvest Cinemas is in Xiangjiang, with a market share of about 15%, which is not as good as Broadway Cinemas and UA Cinemas of Liji Group, and they are all relatively old equipment, and there is no IMAX screen.

But Li Hao didn't want to buy other faculties or rebuild the cinema line in Xiangjiang.

Because the land price here is too high, the rent is too high!

The monthly rent of a movie theater in Xiangjiang Times Square is now 25 million Hong Kong dollars, which is just the rent, who can afford it, then opening a movie theater is throwing money outside.

The monthly rent of a movie theater is 25 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 300 million Hong Kong dollars a year, and you must know that the total box office of the Xiangjiang market is only 1.986 billion Hong Kong dollars, 200 screens, and 40 theaters!

If the rent is followed, the theater chain will not only not make money, but even lose money.

It is said that Hong Kong films are weak, and they are looking for reasons.

In fact, in Li Hao's view, an important reason for the decline of Hong Kong films is that the salary of stars is too high, the market is shrinking, and the theater rent is too expensive to update the equipment to improve the environment.

The total box office of the Xiangjiang Film Market was 1.986 billion Hong Kong dollars last year, which does not mean that all of them belong to Hong Kong films, most of them are Hollywood movies, and Hollywood movies account for more than 60% of the Xiangjiang Film Market!

In other words, if it belongs to Hong Kong films, it will be about five or six billion Hong Kong dollars a year!

Li Hao won the Golden Harvest Cinema Line, in order to be able to extend his tentacles to Xiangjiang, Baodao, Singapore and other places.

In the mainland market, every good schedule has a boutique movie produced by Haotian Media, sniping at Xiangjiang Films, and at the same time placing the movie in Xiangjiang Movies to impact the box office of Xiangjiang Films.

Most of the profit points of Xiangjiang movies are in the mainland, not in Xiangjiang.

In Xiangjiang, no matter how well it sells, it can't recover the cost of shooting.

Once the mainland can't open up the market, then Xiangjiang films will inevitably slump further.

Slowly grinding, coupled with the restructuring of Golden Harvest Cinemas, the space of Xiangjiang Cinema will be further squeezed.

Sooner or later, one day will be able to grind all the stubborn people to death.

Just like this time "Macau Fengyun 3", Xiangjiang's side predicted, but it was able to get a box office of eight or nine billion, but now it is greatly discounted.

And this phenomenon will never be just once, but will continue to be staged, constantly grinding, grinding until it collapses, and grinding until it succumbs.

The older generation is proud, so support and win over the new generation.

The older generation has experienced the golden age of Xiangjiang movies, and they will miss the golden age, and there is a kind of arrogance in their hearts.

But the new generation doesn't!

To be honest, compared with Nanyang, Li Hao prefers the Japanese film market and the Korean film market.

The Japanese film market has long been the second largest market in the world, even if it is surpassed by the Chinese film market, the size of the Japanese film market is still 12.1 billion yuan, which is much larger than the entire Nanyang film market combined.

In such a large market, overseas films can often occupy almost 50% of the box office, that is, 6 billion yuan!

The "Martian", "Jiuding Ji" series, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of movies have all sold quite well in Japan.

And this time, "Shuimen Bridge of Changjin Lake" sold well in the Japanese film market, and the DVD of "Changjin Lake" also sold quite well in Japan.

However, the Japanese film market is fixed, and it is difficult to re-establish the theater chain.

The Korean film market has exceeded 200 million moviegoers for two consecutive years, almost 9 billion yuan! However, the Korean film market is very exclusive to the outside world.

Before, Haotian Media's movies could still sell well, but the number of films scheduled for "Changjin Lake" was pitiful, and that's it, it was opposed by all kinds of people two days after its release!

So, don't talk about democracy and freedom!

As for setting up a cinema chain in South Korea, you don't even have to think about it!

It is precisely because of this that Li Hao took Nanyang as a breakthrough and carried out deep cultivation.

As for Treasure Island, it is quite pleasant to cooperate with filmmakers on Treasure Island now, and it should not be a problem in the short term.

"Watergate Bridge" remains high at the box office.

There are all kinds of discussions and evaluations about movies on the Internet.

It's basically a piece of praise, and in general commercial films, you can still talk about artistry and belittle commercial films from this aspect.

Of course, "Watergate Bridge" can't be liked by everyone, and RMB can't be done, let alone "Watergate Bridge", so there are still some disparagements.

But the opponent had no hope of recovering the situation, and he didn't bother to spend money to invite the water army to go black, so the Douban score also reached a high score of 9.0 points.

Professional film critics from all walks of life, one by one, and their professional film reviews, have analyzed the movies from various perspectives such as human nature, war, historical authenticity, and meaning.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Hao was in Jinling.

At this time, the box office statistics for the seven days from the first to the eighth day of the new year also came out.

"Watergate Bridge" won 3.589 billion this week, with an average of 512.7 million box office per day, and the cumulative box office of "Watergate Bridge" came to 4.121 billion yuan!

After the weekly box office statistics came out, it was naturally inevitable to report it.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Hao took everyone to the Jinling Roadshow.

When he was in the cinema, a young man with glasses opened his mouth and questioned: "Director Li, the Volunteer Army won completely by relying on the tactics of crowds, and it is not glorious at all to die so many people, but you filmed the Volunteer Army in the movie as inexplicably powerful, and you dared to attack the US army head-on with the same strength, and annihilated the enemy, don't you think this is self-deception?" ”

Li Hao looked at the young man with glasses strangely.

In the past, the tactics of crowds were a common saying for the volunteers, and the victory piled up with human lives, coupled with the fact that many media and public knowledge also said so, over time, it has become a recognized fact.

Even at that time, there was an outrageous saying that the U.S. military was fully capable of destroying the crowd tactics of the volunteers in one fell swoop, but killing too many people violated Eagle Sauce's concept of respecting life.

Afraid of killing too much, then still come to war?

While saying that Xiang is unpalatable, swallow it in a big gulp?

The reason why Li Hao looked at the young man with glasses strangely was because when "Changjin Lake" was released, it caused a heated discussion, and after a few months of quarreling, in the end, the truth naturally became clearer and clearer.

Now everyone knows that it is because of the infantry tactics of the three-three system of the Volunteer Army, which gives people the feeling of being full of mountains and wilderness and the tactics of a sea of people.

In the debate, everyone knows that at that time, the ancestors had already hammered through seventeen halls in that battle, and the so-called Jingrui battalion and elite brigade were defeated in one blow.

Fight the invincible eagle sauce all over the world, that battle has become the most unmentionable scar, three changes in commander-in-chief, no matter how you say it, it is not glorious!

As for that time, the army of sticks was even more unbearable!

He didn't expect that this young man with glasses would be so ignorant.

Something that has been hammered for half a year ago will be proposed at this time.

Li Hao sighed in his heart, in terms of public opinion, there is really a lot to do.
