    Li Mingbao smiled when he heard Uncle Six asking for benefits. What he was most afraid of was not that Uncle Six and the others wanted benefits, but that Uncle Six and the others were not interested in Li Mingbao's ideas at all. In that case, he alone would want to make this matter bigger.  It's useless to do it.  To put it bluntly, Li Mingbao does not have this ability yet.  When Li Mingbao is able to do this, the situation will not be as good as it is now.  "The benefits here are definitely not small, and they are real benefits. The more shares people have, the greater the benefits are. Even for people with small shares, there are not no benefits at all. To be honest, this circulation port  I have been thinking about this for a day or two. I thought about this when I was in mainland China. After I came back, I felt that this project really had great potential. Don¡¯t look at the Hong Kong movies now.  , very advantageous, no matter where in East Asia, Hong Kong movies are good signboards, but this situation cannot last long, because the movie market in other places cannot always be like it is now.  In developed regions like Japan, as long as one person can stand up and challenge their film market, it is really easy to make this industry bigger with their capital. To put it bluntly, the film market is not the same as the capital market.  There's a big difference. Where capital is strong, they can do anything easily, and it doesn't matter if they lose a little. But like ours in Hong Kong, if a company loses several million, it won't matter except for Uncle Liu.  Apart from the company, most other film companies have to go bankrupt. But for film companies in Japan, even if they are small companies, losing a few million Hong Kong dollars is not a big deal. To put it bluntly, it is not a big deal for them.  Capital allows them to afford losses. Under such circumstances, the future of Hong Kong movies is not too optimistic. It will not be long before they can make money like they are now. As long as they hit the bottom line of their local market, Hong Kong movies will have to think again.  It¡¯s not easy to make money. In fact, big markets like Japan may have the highest tolerance for our Hong Kong films, because they have a large amount of capital and are very tolerant. But some economies are not very good.  In developed areas, their tolerance is very low. Maybe a few movies can make them wary. However, among the biggest markets for movies in Hong Kong, there are not many places with good economies, especially in Southeast Asia.  , the tolerance of many countries is very low, and their total capital is not large. If the box office of Hong Kong movies is much higher than that of the local box office, and it is not short-term, then their local companies will definitely take action as long as there is.  If there are administrative restrictions, Hong Kong movies will be prone to problems. At least there will be one less box office. If it causes a chain reaction, how many external markets will there be in Hong Kong? So everyone should stop watching Hong Kong movies now.  Other markets will cheer, after all, this will not last long. It is difficult to develop Hong Kong movies to a certain level by relying on the local market alone. For the sake of the future, I came up with this method of establishing a circulation port.  Films from other places provide cover for our Hong Kong films, or we share the benefits, so that Hong Kong films can last for a long time." When Li Mingbao said this, his mouth became dry, and he directly picked up the tea in front of him and poured it into his mouth.  Li Mingbao¡¯s words immediately made Uncle Liu and the others break out in cold sweat.  To be honest, if Li Mingbao hadn't mentioned this matter, Uncle Liu and the others would not have thought of this concern at all.  Because as far as current Hong Kong movies are concerned, there is no need to consider these issues at all.  What time is it now, 1983?  Hong Kong films have spread throughout East Asia and the time for large-scale development has not yet begun.  Historically, when a large amount of hot money really entered the Hong Kong film market, it was after 1985.  Even though Li Mingbao has made several blockbuster movies, generally speaking, Hong Kong's film market is still in its infancy.  Even for the Xiang brothers, when they entered this industry, their hobbies were more important than the idea of ??making money.  Therefore, they have not even thought about the possibility of being boycotted by the external market in the future. Even this idea has not arisen. Even at this time, even Chow Wenhuai is only happy that Hong Kong films have opened up the external market. As for the boycott, haha  , thinking too much.  But after Li Mingbao raised this issue, Uncle Liu and the others truly saw the hidden worries in this regard.  Although discussing this issue now is a bit unfounded, I have to say that if the Hong Kong film market becomes more and more popular, it will be a matter of course for the situation mentioned by Li Mingbao to occur.  This is just like Hong Kong now. If a foreign film company wants to make money in Hong Kong, even if they haven't made it yet, Uncle Liu and the others will be wary.  "Since Uncle Six and the others have such thoughts, whether local filmmakers from other places have such thoughts is simply a matter of lice on the monk's head. It's obvious.  Perhaps apart from today's Hollywood, there is no other market that would let go ofIt¡¯s open to everyone, but even Hollywood is not as open as outsiders imagine.  If Lee Ming-bao hadn't gotten involved with Twentieth Century Fox, he wouldn't have developed faster than other foreign companies in Hollywood.  "Although it is too early for you, Li Sheng, to consider this issue now, I have to say that such a thing will definitely happen. If Hong Kong movies are too strong, they will definitely crowd out the local movie market. Their local movie bosses will  It's not surprising no matter what kind of move he makes. Li Sheng is still thoughtful. If you hadn't mentioned this matter, we wouldn't have thought of the hidden dangers." Zou Wenhuai said with a serious expression.  "In the past, Hong Kong movies may not have been too offensive. But now that the United Cinemas have the ability to automatically select movies, the rise of Hong Kong movies will be many times faster than before. So this problem will be bigger than we imagined.  Faster." Li Mingbao dropped another bomb.  In the era of the three major theater chains, sales were basically solved by relationships. It didn¡¯t happen once or twice that a good movie like Mr. Lei Juekun failed to sell for a high price.  However, after the establishment of the United Cinemas, it is equivalent to the external market of Hong Kong films and has unified prices.  Because it is guaranteed by the box office of the United Cinemas, whether it is a movie from Golden Harvest, a movie from New Art City, or a movie from Shaw Brothers, if it can withstand the test of the United Cinemas, the quality of the movie will be good.  There is also a good market for high-quality Hong Kong films in the external market.  In this way, it is basically impossible for film purchasers to lower the price.  For movies with the same box office, if you pay the same price for Jiahe and the same price for Xinyi City, Lei Juekun will not pay attention to you at all. Unless the prices are the same, otherwise you will get away as far as you want.  If in the past, high-quality Hong Kong movies still needed to be viewed through the eyes of film buyers, then the United Cinemas now have undoubtedly minimized the risk of testing their vision. It is not scary to choose films without thinking. What is scary is that they follow the United Cinemas¡¯ guidelines.  System, good Hong Kong movies will not be released occasionally like before, but will appear like an assembly line.  ¡°One movie or two won¡¯t have much impact, nor will ten or eight movies have a big impact. As long as the film buyers are strong, not many people will care.  But the problem is that with the batches of good films like United Cinemas, just like the assembly line work of Hollywood, the good films will not only be a few, but at least hundreds of good films a year. In such a market, who wouldn¡¯t  Anyone who takes it seriously is a real fool.  Uncle Liu and the others would understand the difference between an assembly line and a personal workshop.  At this time, Uncle Liu and the others somewhat understood why Li Mingbao proposed the idea of ??distributing movies in Hong Kong. Because there are so many movies that the local market in Hong Kong cannot digest at all. Only by going abroad can profits be guaranteed.  In the past, it was considered successful if one or two films were made overseas. The problem is that now it is not just one or two films that need to be made overseas, but in batches.  Even if the Japanese market is hit by so many good films, local film company bosses will not be able to bear it, let alone other vulnerable regions. They will either fall completely or directly interrupt the legs of Hong Kong films. The local market is completely  To ban Hong Kong movies, apart from these two methods, there is no third way to go.  Hong Kong movies are not Hollywood. If you want to completely destroy the film markets of those countries, movies are actually a secondary thing. What is really important is political strength.  But does Hong Kong have such political strength?  Obviously it is impossible to have it. The British will not use their own connections to protect Hong Kong movies. And with the current situation in the mainland, it is also a delusion to want to protect Hong Kong. As for Wanwan, that is even more fun. How can he?  He can't afford to offend Bianwan, and his diplomacy is all supported by money. The most he can do is let go of Taiwan's local market. As for other markets, Wanwan's capabilities are far behind.  After understanding that Hong Kong movies had completely different capabilities due to the establishment of the United Cinemas, Uncle Liu and the others began to worry.  With the manufacturing capabilities of United Cinemas, the local market in Hong Kong simply cannot provide such a large supply of nutrients.  The system may be good by then, but whether it will really succeed remains to be seen. Perhaps it is not impossible that the rapid development of the United Cinemas will completely drag down the local market to death.  At this time, Uncle Six and the others also wanted to know whether the circulation port plan proposed by Li Mingbao could completely solve the problem.  "Li Sheng, you have a flexible mind. Now that the United Cinemas are established, it has basically brought the Hong Kong film market to a crossroads. Since you can see the problem and put forward your own ideas, I don't know what you call this  Can the circulation port completely solve the market problem?" Uncle Liu asked Li Mingbao with an expectant tone.  "As for what kind of difficulties the Hong Kong film market will face after the establishment of the United Cinemas, Uncle Liu and the others have now fully figured it out.  One is a market issue, and the other is a production capacity issue.  To put it simply, the current United Cinemas chain has a bit of excess production capacity for Hong Kong. In order to uniteJudging from the current film arranging speed, it may not be long before the entire Hong Kong film industry can replenish so many new film sources.  The only way out is to play external cards.  This is a problem of production capacity. As for the market problem, it is even more prominent. In terms of the current customer market in Hong Kong, it is completely insufficient for the United Cinemas to digest. The population problem is a flaw.
