    If it is just to profit from the fame of Hong Kong movies, it is not a huge benefit to the bosses of these companies.  But the problem is that the most important item of the circulation port is not this, but circulation.  Distribution is relatively low for local Hong Kong films, because now East Asian filmmakers know that the quality of Hong Kong films is good and they have inherent advantages.  Even if it is New Art City owned by Boss Lei, it does not mean that their movies cannot be sold. On the contrary, the current movies of New Art City are even more popular than those of Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest to a certain extent.  This is not because the quality of New Art City's films is higher than that of the other two film companies, but because Mr. Lei does not have overseas theaters. During the negotiations for the film sales port, he cannot raise the price, and the bulk of the money is given to overseas film producers.  After taking it away, the money that Boss Lei got was not that much.  Not to mention the three major film companies, even small film companies in Hong Kong have a much easier time selling movies than other foreign film companies. There may be a big problem with the price, but at least there will be people who come here to buy movies instead of  Like those film companies in other regions, no matter how good the movie is, if you don't take the initiative, foreign investors won't care much about your movie at all.  Now, Hong Kong has become a distribution port. It will not only screen local movies in Hong Kong, but also movies from other regions, and the share is quite large. According to relatively reliable gossip, foreign films are screened in Hong Kong United Cinemas  The screening scale will not be less than 40% of the film schedule of United Cinemas.  You know, the current Hong Kong movie theater chain, or the United Cinema chain's screen, costs 320 yuan.  Although these screens are still far behind those in the Japanese market, these movie screens are actually enough just as a test screening area.  Whether it is the golden name of Hong Kong movies or the hardware strength of the United Cinemas, they are enough to sustain the plan of this distribution port.  By then, it will not only be Hong Kong films that will benefit, but film companies from other regions will also directly benefit.  Competing with Hong Kong films locally, although there is still some imbalance, after all, Hong Kong's local movie audiences are not that advantageous in their ability to accept foreign films.  But this problem is actually not that big.  Movies screened in Hong Kong are prepared to be sold in Hong Kong. The taste of Hong Kong audiences is actually very close to the taste of the entire East Asian population. As long as the movie is good to Hong Kong audiences, it will be sold well in other regions.  Basically, most movies are like this, so this disadvantage is actually an advantage. After all, the taste of the entire East Asian audience is mostly judged by Hong Kong audiences.  If your own movies are more profitable than local movies in Hong Kong at some point, then the selling price in the port will be quite good. Then it will not be the movie companies looking for foreign investors, but the foreign investors looking for the movie companies.  On this issue, it is actually equivalent to foreign films getting the same starting point in Hong Kong. As long as the rules are stable and there is no big shady story, then this platform for equal communication is quite valuable.  In this day and age, only Hong Kong can carry such a banner.  After understanding the benefits of Hong Kong as a circulation port, foreign investors, whether they are simply film purchase companies, film production companies, or other companies, all know that doing this in Hong Kong is a good opportunity for everyone.  Therefore, those shareholders of United Cinemas, who had good relations with Hong Kong and were prepared to live alone, immediately knew that such great benefits were beyond their reach.  As a result, plans for a distribution port began to spread within large film companies throughout East Asia.  Although some very powerful companies have great self-esteem and feel that if Hong Kong does this, they will not take them seriously at all. They can also do this, but these people with nationalistic ideas will not work in any company.  will occupy a mainstream position, so major companies have wisely chosen to accept the goodwill of the Hong Kong film industry.  As long as those bosses want to sell their company's movies in Hong Kong, they all support this huge plan in Hong Kong.  If Hong Kong's own hardware conditions are not up to standard, they can still complain, but the problem is that when the Hong Kong film industry proposed this plan, they had already perfected the hardware work, so that other big companies would not be able to find it.  The place to start.  ¡°Some people may say that United Cinema¡¯s more than 300 screens cannot support such a market. There are not enough screens, which means that the hardware is not good enough.  But all the big companies understand that the screens of Hong Kong's United Cinemas are actually enough, because the Hong Kong film industry has also done a lot on these screens.  There are more than 300 screens. The external factor is that Hong Kong is a small place. The market is already saturated with more than 300 screens.  Another meaning is that if you want your company's movies to be released in Hong Kong, you also need to fight for them. Don't think that any movie sent to Hong Kong will be picked up by Hong Kong's United Cinemas, so if you have an idea, you have to take the initiative.  Attack, if you lose at the starting line, you can't blame us Hong Kong filmmakers.  This way?, as the old saying goes, two peaches kill three people.  In today¡¯s terms, it is hunger marketing.  In this regard, Xiaomi, decades later, is quite creative.  To put it bluntly, it depends on whether you want to come or not. If you don¡¯t come, there is still no place for you. The so-called initiative actually lies in the issue of more than 300 screens.  The artificially created tension between supply and demand, Li Mingbao and the others¡¯ calculations were quite good.  In fact, at the beginning, Uncle Liu and the others did not expect that United Cinemas would have such a meaning.  To be honest, when they first built more than 300 screens, Uncle Liu and his colleagues wanted to satisfy the local Hong Kong audience and strive to not be out of date in ten years. They built it all at once to save money later.  But I didn¡¯t expect that Li Mingbao would come up with this big plan after the United Cinemas was built. Well, Hong Kong people haven¡¯t even enjoyed it yet, so they created a bunch of foreigners and everyone came together to make a fortune.  To accommodate so many people and more than 300 screens, it seems stingy, but being stingy also has its benefits.  That is, most people know that it is not easy to have your own movie released in United Cinemas, and it is not something you can do if you can.  Under such circumstances, if one company does not cooperate, more companies will come to cooperate. If they want to join forces and bargain with United Cinemas, there is no such soil.  If you don¡¯t do it, more people will do it. If you want to be arrogant, then be arrogant.  So after understanding this truth, all film companies in East Asia, except the current mainland, understand how important this opportunity is. Even the bosses of some large film companies used to be on the same level as Uncle Liu, but now they are also  They all took a special flight to Hong Kong in order to seize the opportunity and not let others take advantage.  There is not much time left for these large companies. If you hesitate even a little, you may miss this opportunity.  Especially when Li Mingbao told Wu Dun about this matter, it was basically equivalent to all Taiwanese filmmakers knowing the news.  The intelligence on Taiwan is also full of lies. The government is like this, let alone the film industry. Now that Taiwan knows it, it is equivalent to all East Asian film companies knowing the news.  Large foreign companies that were still hesitant to take the stand now can no longer afford it, because just when they realized that they missed the opportunity, countless people have already started to go to Hong Kong. Even this wave of trends has caused Hong Kong to  The business volume of Kai Tak Airport has increased by five percentage points, which is equivalent to the first department to enjoy the benefits of the circulation port. Then, high-end hotels in Hong Kong have become the second wave of beneficiaries, and these can seize the lead.  The bosses of the hotel are all very powerful. Before they had their own industry in Hong Kong, they would basically live in hotels.  Even Hong Kong's catering industry, especially the high-end catering industry, has felt the benefits.  Finally, even some foreign companies that are anxious for money are beginning to enter the substantial stage of buying houses, and the real estate market, which was originally declining, has begun to rise slightly.  This is just a piece of news, and there is no complete announcement of the plan, which can drive the development of so many industries.  By this time, even those who originally thought that the film industry bosses were too poor have realized that United Cinemas really has this strength.  You can't be at odds with anyone, and you can't be at odds with money. Now that United Cinemas has made such a good start, even the Governor of Hong Kong feels it's a good thing.  By this time, Li Mingbao also knew that the heat was almost over, so he found a time to gather Uncle Liu and the others, and then said: "The heat is almost over. Although there are still some foreign companies that are not letting go, thinking that their company  We need better conditions to agree with our plan. But I think whether those companies agree or not has little to do with our joint cinema distribution port plan. Even these companies now are enough for us.  It¡¯s very busy. Instead of waiting until everyone agrees with our plan to fully launch this matter, it is better to start implementing the circulation port plan now. This will not only allow the circulation port to be effectively established, but also allow everyone to see the benefits and returns.  , we can also train our professional talents. Finally, we must let those companies understand that the distribution port plan will not be completely inoperable without them. As long as each market has three or five of our customers, our distribution port will not work.  It's equivalent to a preliminary establishment. Whether or not the big movie companies nod, it won't have much impact on us. Once these early companies have made money, I don't believe those big movie companies will still think so.  What they are doing now is correct. " "It won't be a big problem for us to roll out the rules like this, but I'm afraid that those large film companies will implement some sabotage plans in their own country, which will affect our lives.  Customers will suffer losses, which will make the problem more troublesome," Zou Wenhuai said with some worry.  "Don't worry about this problem, don't forget what our circulation port is for,"Even if you don¡¯t make money locally, you can still get the money back in the port market.  And until now, no film company in any region has united to boycott the distribution port. They are not united internally. As long as the first batch of profits comes out, no one can hold it back.  So now is the best time to implement a distribution port. That is to say, we can achieve our results and beat those film companies, killing two birds with one stone. Why not do it?  "Li Mingbao said with a smile.
