    Generally speaking, it is impossible to compare the investment cost of literary and artistic films with commercial films, because commercial films focus on eyeball effect, while literary and artistic films focus on connotation.  In Hollywood, you can't make any good commercial movies with three to five million US dollars. If you want to achieve a sensation, this amount of money is not enough.  ¡°But if it is placed on a literary film, three to five million US dollars can definitely turn a literary film into a classic among classics.  In fact, in Asia, investment in literary and artistic films rarely exceeds 2 million Hong Kong dollars. Even for the literary and artistic films that South Korea is currently focusing on, their shooting costs are not too high.  With a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars, you can make a pretty good artistic film, and it's not impossible to win awards.  Don¡¯t think that Korean TV dramas will be so developed in 20 or 30 years, and that Korean movies are also very developed now. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. At least now, whether it is the film industry or the TV drama industry, South Korea has made its own films.  The market for these things is not too big, and things like fried chicken and beer are not things that Korean practitioners take seriously at all.  The current Korean scene is actually similar to that of the mainland in later generations. The movies produced do not care about box office or not. They are all literary and artistic films with serious emotional expressions. For a period of time, South Korea was in Cannes.  , and the results achieved are quite a lot.  Of course, for movies of this type, generally speaking, the only thing that matters at the box office is hehehe.  This kind of thing may be good news for those directors. They can express whatever feelings they want to express at will, and then have fun.  But it doesn¡¯t do much good for the market itself, because most Koreans don¡¯t like this kind of incomprehensible movies, so Hong Kong movies also have considerable potential in the Korean market.  Just because the director is happy does not mean that the boss behind the scenes is also happy.  After all, no one who runs a company would like their company to produce all money-losing movies. Making money is what they want most. On this point, all bosses around the world have something in common.  In Li Mingbao's view, literary and artistic films have a lot of room for manipulation, and they do not have much impact on people within the industry. The ability to attract hatred by operating the box office of literary and artistic films is better than operating the box office of commercial films.  Don't know how much it dropped.  In Li Mingbao¡¯s plan, the operation of artistic films is not actually aimed at people within the industry, and few people will buy the broadcast rights of artistic films.  Adjusting the box office of literary and artistic films is actually aimed at people in their own country.  If the boss behind the scenes wants to recoup the cost, he can only take it back to defraud people in his own country. He doesn't even think about selling it out of port or anything like that.  If you want to deceive your own people, you have to have appeal at the box office. What is appeal? If you invest two million Hong Kong dollars in a movie, it will only earn a few hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars at the box office when it is screened in Hong Kong. Even if you want to deceive such a movie  People in China can¡¯t trick them either.  Because of your movie, it became a hit.  But if it is changed to a box office of two million Hong Kong dollars, haha, the cost will be recovered in the Hong Kong market alone. After returning to China, your movie will make a net profit. A change of one to two million Hong Kong dollars can give a movie a huge promotion.  Strength, who doesn¡¯t like such a good thing?  If Li Mingbao really wants to open this business, his growth potential will definitely be much higher than that of commercial films.  The business of commercial films is a trap for insiders, and the impact is not good. If changes are too big, it will cause shock in the industry. Therefore, Li Mingbao plans to keep this business as an open secret in the industry, which can be regarded as a semi-trap for insiders.  ??As for literary and artistic films, they are outside the industry, and they only hurt the audience. They have little to do with industry insiders, and the impact will not be too great.  Therefore, even if Li Mingbao gets a little more intense, it will not shock the industry. It is completely confidential. Unless any person in the industry does not want to be mixed up, otherwise no one will have a different attitude on this issue.  As long as those literary and artistic films want to win awards, they must buy box office at the Hong Kong United Cinemas. Outside the industry, they will have a double harvest of awards and box office. This will also easily increase the reputation of the film company.  When Li Mingbao expressed his little idea, Zou Wenhuai's face almost went numb.  His first feeling about Li Mingbao's idea was that Li Mingbao was so wicked. He took money and wanted others to be grateful. This thought really elevated deceiving people to the level of art.  The second feeling is that shareholders like them are going to make money. How many artistic films are produced in East Asia every year?  Although the output is much less than that of commercial films, the absolute number is still not a small number.  By then, even if not all literary and artistic films will be premiered in Hong Kong, some of them will make a lot of money, and they will be calculated to the core.  Such a person is simply too terrifying. He wants to make money wherever he goes, even if he wants to get some bone oil from the dead.  Seeing the expressions of the people in front of him, Li Mingbao knew that theyHis heart was moved, and Li Mingbao would say something even more heart-warming next.  "Selling box office is a long-term and stable way to make money. As long as the Hong Kong movie brand does not collapse, there will be no problem selling this. It can be regarded as an additional large amount of income. But after the distribution port is established, we can earn more from other places  There is a lot of money. The simplest one is the subtitle translation business. Although the income per transaction is not huge, as long as they want to show movies in Hong Kong, they have to provide local subtitles or local subtitles.  It is not easy to achieve good box office results with dubbing. Compared with selling box office, dubbing and subtitles are the most stable income. No matter who films come to Hong Kong, they can only do this business.  If you do well, you can attract the best practitioners in East Asia. By then, the income from this business will not be much smaller. Just treat it as a small profit but quick turnover. This industry can also be revitalized, and it will not be able to support itself.  Few people." Li Mingbao said again.  Hearing what Li Mingbao said, Uncle Liu and the others were completely powerless to complain.  Taking the calculation to this level, Li Mingbao is really only in his early twenties?  Instead of the old fox?  "In addition to dubbing, there are actually more exchanges. The behind-the-scenes staff we have can make a lot of money. At that time, as long as we package these behind-the-scenes and sell them to companies that want to make movies, it will also be a profitable business.  And we can also absorb outstanding behind-the-scenes people from abroad to become our people. In this way, our Hong Kong film brand will be less likely to fall. If the top industry professionals from all East Asia come to our Hong Kong, we will just draw  Well, the money made here is also huge. In fact, not only behind the scenes, but also in front of the stage, actors, such as Zhou Yunfa and Chen Long, who have overseas box office appeal, can not only take over the filming of us Hong Kong people.  We can also take over movies from foreigners, and if we sign contracts with all the famous movie stars in East Asia, or simply cooperate, we can earn a lot of money. Just think about the international stars in Hollywood.  How high is the net worth and how lucrative are the profits? Even if we don¡¯t make that much or half of the profits from these cards in our hands, they are still very profitable. Compared with Hong Kong, where we can simply use artists to make money now, both in terms of breadth and  The depth is not on the same level at all," Li Mingbao said.  In fact, if Hong Kong movies really become a distribution port, the benefits are actually in all aspects. Although there will be crises and many people who are just idle people will have no place to use them, under such pressure, more people will have ideas.  Those who are good will also stand out, and the value created by these people is two different concepts from those of useless people, and the gap is astonishingly huge.  Li Mingbao cannot completely turn Hong Kong stars into international superstars, but he is still very confident about becoming a superstar in East Asia.  And as long as you can become a superstar, in the East Asian market alone, you can get a lot of peripheral products, such as endorsements, advertising, and a series of commercial operations, which are beneficial to everyone.  And at that time, Hong Kong had become the center of East Asian movies. In the future, it would not be forces from other places that would block local movies or artists in Hong Kong. Instead, other places would have to act based on Hong Kong's attitude. If someone is unhappy, Hong Kong will block them.  , it was a heavy blow to the company's film sales and entry into the Hong Kong market for touchstone activities. At that time, whether the Taiwan authorities still dared to complain about the Hong Kong film industry was still a very serious problem.  "No wonder Li Sheng raised Zhou Runfa's salary so much before, so he was waiting here?" Uncle Liu said.  "No, I didn't think about it that much at first, but I have been in Hollywood for so long, and I also know that movie actors, especially stars, are not only useful in movies, but also in peripheral industries.  The value is greater, but Hong Kong has not developed this market, so I will give it a try. Even if we develop these industries in Hong Kong, the value of actors will be huge.  If we don¡¯t pay attention to training and just rely on the actors themselves, in the end neither party will get too many practical benefits. Being good to them is actually good to ourselves. The benefits always grow through discovery. Since we have the strength to develop,  Then the development process should be led by us. If we let the actors do it themselves, it will not only be slow, but the results will be poor, and it will also lead to waste. For the sake of a win-win situation, we have to be more sincere.  Speaking of.  On this issue, he really didn¡¯t lie. According to the previous thinking, the use of these stars was to rely on Hong Kong movies to actively conquer the city, and then forcibly make these people famous and make profits.  But with the circulation port, there is no need for Li Mingbao to use these actors at all.??It is not a thankless development, because those film producers or other types of bosses who want to make money will take the initiative to come to Hong Kong to seek cooperation. One is active and the other is passive. The same is the value of developing actors, which is obtained through active development.  The benefits will naturally not be as great as those obtained from passive development.
