    "Essentially speaking, when the three major companies had a monopoly in the past, it was because the total capital of the Hong Kong film industry was only so large, so the three major companies could live very prosperously. ¡ª{2}{3}{w}{x}  But now that this industry has been artificially expanded by us, it is unrealistic to continue like this because you simply do not have the ability to continue to monopolize this market. It is indeed a monopoly, not to mention that the United Cinemas can monopolize it.  Give other people's film companies a chance. But what benefit does this have to us? It costs nothing to renovate the new facilities. Isn't this a waste of a large part of Hong Kong's movies?  Profitability lies in the local market, but the local market is only so big, so there is no point in expanding it. Now Hong Kong films have the opportunity to go global, and we have done so recently. From the perspective of effects, the results achieved are great.  It's pretty good. At least the movies we have are making more money than before. This is an indisputable fact. The extra money is actually the revenue from the port, and because of the prosperity of the Hong Kong market, it will definitely increase.  To a certain extent, it affects the entire East Asian film market. Hong Kong now has the prototype of the East Asian film market. Under such circumstances, if our business strategy is still as conservative as before, a bigger market cake can be achieved.  It's not something we can control. After all, in other regions' film markets, it's not just our films, but also local film companies. If we go too far, local film companies can just rely on administrative advantages.  If our movies are exiled, our profits will actually be cut off by ourselves. In order to avoid this situation, we can only increase our efforts to cooperate with the external market and carry out deeper cooperation. Only in this way can we keep ourselves.  It can also make everyone make money. Hong Kong has only so many people. It is obviously impossible to take care of all aspects. To further expand the influence of our Hong Kong film market, we can only expand the geographical area.  If these factors are eliminated, such a Hong Kong film market may become a distribution port for the entire East Asian film. Think about it, if the Hong Kong market becomes a distribution port for the entire East Asia, and the various benefits are unmatched by other places.  How could the profits at that time be comparable to those of a monopoly? How many people could monopolize the entire Hong Kong market? And how big of a population could the entire East Asia have as a trading port?  Isn't it better than the monopoly profit?" Li Mingbao said seriously.  The idea of ??using the Hong Kong film market as a distribution port is a concept that Li Mingbao has long had.  Why is the future of Hong Kong a financial city?  Isn't it because Hong Kong's basic conditions are not good and it doesn't have much potential for other industries.  In addition, Hong Kong is, to a large extent, an important chess piece for East-West exchanges. Finance here has greater advantages than other industries, and Hong Kong has indeed done quite well in this regard.  Under such circumstances, many other industries can actually do this. For example, in the film market, without more funds or human resources, Hong Kong's film industry can be turned into a circulation port.  Definitely a right choice.  It is not impossible to even be able to accommodate the mainland market in the future and compete with Hollywood to a certain extent.  To put it bluntly, the film industry has much smaller requirements for land and manpower than other industries. The land required by the entire entertainment industry is not very large, and even if it is needed, it can be obtained from other places, such as  What they obtain most from the mainland is land, which is completely unmatched by Hong Kong. Therefore, Hong Kong's establishment of a circulation port is definitely promising. As long as the Hong Kong brand is hung elsewhere, others will also  You would think that these things are supporting industries for Hong Kong movies.  This is just like Hollywood. Hollywood is not a big place, and there are not many movie companies in Hollywood.  But why is the entire North American film market collectively called Hollywood?  It's because Hollywood's name is even louder.  Therefore, it is not that difficult for Hong Kong to become such an iconic and famous industry.  In the previous life, Hong Kong¡¯s film industry declined due to many problems, especially the financial turmoil in Southeast Asia, which completely destroyed the industry.  In the past, Li Mingbao couldn't understand the reason behind this, because in fact, things like the financial crisis really don't have a big impact on the entertainment industry.  Due to the tenacity of the entertainment industry, not to mention financial problems, it is difficult to have a devastating impact. Even a global war may not have much impact.  Just look at the large-scale development of Hollywood during World War II, and you will understand that the entertainment industry has quite stable characteristics, and even at certain times, it will be extraordinary.The development of ?.  But now that he is sitting in the position of a theater owner, his connection with the Hong Kong film industry is getting closer and closer. Looking at the movie buyout that Uncle Six and the others had done before, Li Mingbao knows that the local filmmakers in Hong Kong  The desire for quick success and instant profit is actually one of the culprits of the decline of Hong Kong movies, and even accounts for a large share of it.  This eagerness for quick success and quick profit is not only reflected in the bosses above, like Uncle Liu and others, nor is it only reflected in the employees below, it can be said that the entire industry was not on the right path when it first developed.  Just like now, Li Mingbao just proposed to give his share to other film companies. Uncle Liu and the others thought that Li Mingbao was deliberately targeting them.  Even the locals in Hong Kong can't tolerate it, let alone other outsiders. Thinking of the current performance of Uncle Liu and others, it is not difficult for Li Mingbao to guess why Hong Kong movies could have been popular throughout East Asia, but suddenly they are not popular in many places.  Issue an executive order for protection.  Originally, matters such as protecting the domestic film market, as long as the problem is not too serious, it is difficult for politics to resolve this type of matter. It is not that the people above do not pay attention to it, but this market, unless it is as large-scale as Hollywood  In areas, in general areas, the market will not be too big, and not many people will really care.  But the situation in East Asia has set a precedent. In the era when Hong Kong movies were rampant, it didn't even take ten years for most places in East Asia to activate this protection, let alone their governments.  They have a high vision and know how to protect the industry. In fact, for them, there is not much difference between the money they make from Hong Kong movies and the money they make from the local market. In many cases, the money they make from Hong Kong movies is even higher than the money they make from local market movies.  Even if you make more money, you still have to protect the local market, but you actually still have a small loss.  But they all made such a choice unanimously. Even South Korea has risen to the level of the country. Although the whole universe belongs to Smecta, why was South Korea so excited at that time? Wasn't it because it was so ruthless?  , why don¡¯t they make money even though they have it?  The more he understands the situation, the more Li Mingbao understands why those countries initiated this protection when Hong Kong movies were raging. It is entirely because the Hong Kong people have done too much. Although the total amount of funds is not large, the problem  It is so overwhelming that the locals have no food to eat at all, and this problem is serious.  ¡°They only know how to cut profits, but they don¡¯t know how to maintain the market. This is the best portrayal of Hong Kong movies back then.  To put it simply, the Hong Kong film market at that time, for the sake of current interests, did not care what would happen in the future. This would naturally cause a backlash from others.  And by that time, old guys like Uncle Six will no longer have the ability to control, because at that time, they are no longer the ones making trouble, but other capital.  Since Li Mingbao wants to expand the Hong Kong film market, he cannot let the order be chaotic. It is completely normal to have such a proposal.  "Circulation port? What do you mean?" Zou Wenhuai grasped Li Mingbao's new idea very keenly.  Seeing that Zou Wenhuai was so successful, Li Mingbao did not sell out: "The local market in Hong Kong has a very small capacity, and it cannot accommodate things like United Cinemas. But our Hong Kong films now not only have a local market, but also a huge one."  Overseas markets can be explored. In this way, the importance of the local market in Hong Kong is actually very low. In my opinion, what the Hong Kong film market needs more is internationalization.  Open to all countries in need, our Hong Kong film industry must not only serve local films in Hong Kong, but also serve foreign films, becoming a film exhibition market, just like Cannes, a place where films from the entire East Asia region can be represented.  , all flow in the Hong Kong market. In this way, wouldn¡¯t the funds we can earn be broader than the small market of Hong Kong? And with such a big market, why should we care whether the three major film companies have a monopoly?  When that time comes, the only ones who can stand with us are the local film companies in Hong Kong. If there are too few and weak local film companies, can you deal with those foreign film companies alone?" Li Mingbao said.  "Li Sheng, your statement seems to be different from what we said when we established the United Cinemas. When the United Cinemas was established, the reason why we could agree was because it would benefit all three of our major film companies.  The advantage is that it can eliminate competitors and maximize the profits of our films. But your new proposal has not only the Hong Kong market in mind, but also the entire East Asian market. Such an appetite is something that the United Cinemas can digest.  Is it okay? If you really want to make it happen, how can our companies still exist? How can we guarantee our interests? It¡¯s undeniable, Li Sheng.The plan is bold and exciting. If we do it well, we will be equivalent to controlling the entire East Asian film market. But the question is, will the resources we invest in this way be able to keep up with the pace of the market?  And if you really do this, it won¡¯t be supported by policies, and it doesn¡¯t make any sense.  The risk is too great, but the benefits are not that obvious. Uncle Liu, I still want to save some money for retirement, but I don¡¯t dare to go through such trouble with you.  "Uncle Liu's tone was quite firm.
