    The movies released by Li Mingbao in Taiwan are quite good. At least Uncle Liu still has his own strength in this aspect, so he also earns several million Hong Kong dollars in income from each movie in Taiwan. If it were him, he would earn several million Hong Kong dollars.  With an income of 100,000 Hong Kong dollars, these guys may not be able to make it.  ¡° Anyway, the issue of theater attendance is definitely a topic that cannot be touched in Taiwan. Unless Lee Ming-pao doesn¡¯t want the Taiwan market at all, then he will have to suffer this loss forever.  If you don't want to suffer a loss in sharing, there is actually another way for movies to go, and that is to buy out the distribution rights of your own movies in Taiwan for how much money. This distribution right basically includes all interests in Taiwan, so  It is actually not easy to buy out. More importantly, the buyout price in Taiwan has never been very high. Even if Li Mingbao negotiated it himself, Taiwan would not be able to give Li Mingbao tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.  The buyout price is a matter of several million, and other rights and interests must be paid.  A simple buyout would be a loss for Li Mingbao.  So even if he knows that the share is a loss, he only has a share, and the buyout is even more of a loss for him.  It would be even more difficult if Lee Ming-pao did not release his movies in Taiwan at all. By then, his movies would definitely appear in the form of pirated discs in every corner of Taiwan, and he would not even be able to make any money.  Therefore, Li Mingbao hates this market, but he has to come.  If it were just him, he could give up the interests of millions of Hong Kong dollars.  But the problem is that his current identity is not just an independent filmmaker. He also represents United Cinemas and other companies. If the issue is really made clear, he and the Taiwanese film industry are basically on opposite sides.  Not only does it not bring any benefits, but it also affects other company's business and imposes one's own likes and dislikes on the company. This is not what a wise person should do.  Even Uncle Six didn't fall out with these guys. Li Mingbao didn't have the confidence to do such a thing now.  After greeting a group of fat-headed theater owners, Li Mingbao finally sat down at the main table.  As Li Mingbao sat down, the dishes that had been prepared long ago were also served.  Afterwards, there was a lot of eating and drinking. Li Mingbao, who was not feeling very comfortable, was surrounded by a group of people toasting him. He felt as uncomfortable as possible. Some of the theater bosses even asked Li Mingbao  When the next movie will be released, Taiwanese audiences are impatient to wait, which almost made Li Mingbao fall out on the spot.  But Li Mingbao knew that now was not the time to be emotional, so he had to escape from the banquet with wine. As for whether others continued to eat and drink, it had little to do with Li Mingbao.  There is no need for him to continue to give face to these people.  The real work started on the second day after Li Mingbao arrived in Taiwan. The theater group finally did not get in front of Li Mingbao this time. They were a group of real Taiwanese filmmakers, and they still had some preparations.  People who entered Taiwan's film industry invited Li Mingbao out again.  And for this gathering, people from Taiwan arranged the venue to be at Sun Moon Lake.  Arriving at the end of the field, Li Mingbao discovered that the person in charge was actually Wu Dun, whom he had met once in Hong Kong.  Seeing Li Mingbao's arrival, Wu Dun enthusiastically took Li Mingbao's hand and said with a smile: "Mr. Li, we meet again. Yesterday's banquet was not very pleasant, was it? In fact, we were not very happy either, but who let those guys  The cinema is occupied, and there are connections above, so it¡¯s hard to move, so even if we know these guys are not genuine, there¡¯s nothing we can do against them, even if they¡¯re eating, we won¡¯t be happy.¡±  Li Mingbao didn't expect that Wu Dun would be so bold now and directly raise this issue. Isn't Wu Dun afraid of those guys from the theater chain looking for trouble?  But then I thought about it, and it seems that Wu Dun now really has nothing to do with those theater guys. Although he is also making a living in the film industry, he is a Taiwan-specific producer.  In other words, he is just a spectator. His relationship with the film industry is really not that big. If he can get Li Mingbao's favor by scolding those guys, he will definitely make a profit.  But Li Mingbao doesn't really think that Wu Dun is the person who stands on the same line with him. After all, for Wu Dun, gaining Li Mingbao's favor can scold those guys in the theater. People like Wu Dun, in fact,  I don¡¯t have much trouble with the theater chains. After all, the theater chains in Taiwan are really enjoying themselves now. Even people like them don¡¯t have much leverage in front of the theater chains. If they can use Li Mingbao¡¯s power to  Li Mingbao may not make much profit by opening this lid, but locals like them have many places where they can attack theaters.  So after hearing Wu Dun¡¯s words, Li Mingbao did not express his true thoughts, but laughed and said: ¡°It¡¯s just so so, that is, those people drank too much yesterday.¡±?, I can't stand it.  I had never drank like this in Hong Kong, but it was here in Taiwan that I tasted the wine culture.  " Hearing that Li Mingbao didn't respond, Wu Dun was not surprised. He still said with a smile: "Actually, drinking here in Taiwan is not a benefit. The main thing is to drink sake. High-strength wine is not special in the Taiwan market.  In fact, the real wine culture is in the mainland. I heard that people there drink, and anyone with a temperature lower than 40 degrees will not go to the table. Therefore, the people there are really interested.  " "It seems that Mr. Wu knows the mainland very well, right?"  "Li Mingbao also asked with a smile. Hearing Li Mingbao's words, Wu Dun pretended to look around secretly, and then he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Mr. Li is careful, it doesn't matter what you say in Hong Kong, but in Taiwan  Here, it is best not to mention things on the mainland.  The past few years have been relatively good. If it had been earlier, some people might have regarded us as Communists.  After all, the relationship is tense and it is not as open as Hong Kong, so it is better not to talk about national affairs.  "Wu Dun's pretentiousness made even Li Mingbao find it funny. Maybe Taiwan was like this before, but now, Wu Dun's behavior is a bit funny. Although some remarks are still high-pressure in Taiwan, it depends on whether they are right.  Who, for people like Wu Dun, even if he curses the people in the Presidential Palace, as long as he doesn't directly attack Mr. Jiang, it is basically not a big problem. But it has to be said that Wu Dun does this.  It also livened up the atmosphere. After that, Wu Dun led Li Mingbao and a group of people into the antique boat in Sun Moon Lake, and then sailed away from the shore. The group of people ate and drank on the boat, and naturally they were accompanied by beautiful women.  , in this circle, other resources may be scarce, but there is never a shortage of beautiful women. Even the most down-and-out director can still find many beauties. But it is a pity that Li Mingbao cannot enjoy such treatment because he was hired.  Wu Dun found a private room on the second floor of the boat. It was just him and Wu Dun. There was not even a waiter. Wu Dun was a master of hands-on skills. He could even brew a pot of tea smoothly.  After getting better, Wu Dun and Li Mingbao started to really chat. "Mr. Li, the situation in Taiwan is not very good, but you also know the main reason, which is the problem of the theater chain.  They are too greedy and reluctant to let go, causing the industry to wither and there is no way.  Mr. Li naturally has great ambitions in Hong Kong, but the Taiwan market actually has great potential.  I think Mr. Li can cooperate with us in this aspect, and everyone will benefit from it.  "Wu Dun filled Li Mingbao's tea and spoke slowly. After hearing Wu Dun's words, Li Mingbao also took a slow sip of tea, and then replied: "How to put it, I actually don't know much about the market in Taiwan.  I don¡¯t really care. This is the truth, and I¡¯m not trying to shirk it.  I don¡¯t want to get involved with the theater chain. After all, my focus is not on Taiwan. Making a few million Hong Kong dollars less or a few million more Hong Kong dollars doesn¡¯t mean much to me.  So if you want to take any action, just do it yourself. It doesn't make much sense to drag me over.  I know that you are very strong, and I also know that you have a great relationship with the people in those circles, but this has nothing to do with me.  I can't even finish what I'm doing now, let alone get involved in the Taiwan market.  So Mr. Wu, you are really helpless when you come to me.  " "How come the income is only a few million Hong Kong dollars?  Mr. Li, if there is only such a small profit, we will naturally not disturb Mr. Li.  Taiwan's real income is not just this. There are only as many people in Hong Kong as there are in Taiwan, and the movie-watching base is almost the same. The actual income is doubled.  As long as the movie is good, there¡¯s no saying it won¡¯t make money.  If nothing else, Mr. Lee's movies have always been hot sellers in Taiwan. I dare not say more, but Mr. Lee, the real box office of each of your movies in Taiwan will not be less than HK$50 million.  This is definitely much higher than Mr. Li's box office in Hong Kong.  The reason why Mr. Li doesn¡¯t make much money is entirely because of the theater chain.  We, all of us, were born into poverty, and we have to support a bunch of people below. The world is difficult, and if we have another way to make money, we can support more people. Mr. Li, you are fully capable of promoting this matter, so why refuse?  What about people thousands of miles away?  Wouldn¡¯t it be great for everyone to cooperate and share this market?  Besides, the company that wants to do things is not the one behind me, but everyone is optimistic about this market, so there will definitely be no shortage of personnel and capital. What we lack now is someone who can promote this matter.  .  Mr. Li, your movies have been taken advantage of by those guys in Taiwan. Can you, Mr. Li, just swallow this?  As long as we cooperate, I dare not say more. When the matter is completed, the labor fee of 80 million Hong Kong dollars will definitely be indispensable for Mr. Li.  free money??How can Mr. Li extrapolate?  "Wu Dun was still telling Li Mingbao the benefits of this earnestly. After hearing Wu Dun say that after doing things, he could actually get 80 million Hong Kong dollars in labor fees. Li Mingbao was really surprised. People on the street in Taiwan,  It's really a big investment. Eighty million Hong Kong dollars is worth hundreds of millions of New Taiwan dollars. They are willing to spend so much money. The investment is really not small.
