    Hearing Uncle Liu's words, Li Mingbao was a little annoyed. What is a Hong Kong movie?  What does it mean that a movie shot in Hong Kong cannot be a Hong Kong movie?  Uncle Liu and the others still believe in such a dogma now, which is just as ridiculous as those old scholars who read eight-legged essays in the past who said that science is not knowledge.  If Hollywood in the United States had the same thinking as Uncle Six and others, then Hollywood would only be making small fortunes until now. Even if it owned the entire North American market, their movies could still only be considered niche movies. How could they be able to influence the whole world in the future?  pose such a big threat to the world?  Li Mingbao has never thought about letting Hong Kong's Hong Kong films carry the flag against the banner of Hollywood. Such a thing is impossible and unrealistic.  But you have to do something, right?  Remarks like Uncle Liu's are too narrow-minded. Doesn't Uncle Liu know how many people there are in Hong Kong?  And how many people are there in the whole of East Asia?  If you insist on holding on to the so-called Hong Kong movies, you won't even make any money. Is this what Uncle Liu calls persistence?  Li Mingbao didn't believe that businessmen like Uncle Liu would consider the purity and impurity of Hong Kong films. Maybe if this words came from Zou Wenhuai's mouth, it would have some credibility, but Uncle Liu, forget it, Ni  Ma If it weren't for the good times in Hong Kong movies now, Uncle Six might not let go of TVB at all. The film industry has long been thrown away by him, and where would he still pretend to talk about purity?  Hong Kong movies, these are all bullshit.  To put it bluntly, in Uncle Liu's eyes, Hong Kong movies and the like are not what he needs at all. What he needs is money.  Such words reminded Li Mingbao of the Donglin Party in the Ming Dynasty. They held on to the so-called ancestral legal system and could not regret it, forcing the emperor of the Ming Dynasty to jump off the building, but at the same time they made money overseas and traded with wild boar skins.  Does Sixth Uncle think that he is the same as those fools in the Ming Dynasty?  "Okay, Uncle Liu, what does it mean to us people to say that Hong Kong movies are not Hong Kong movies? Movies that can make money are good movies. I really didn't expect that Uncle Liu would love Hong Kong movies so much?"  Li Mingbao sarcastically said impatiently.  Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s sarcastic words, Liu Shu¡¯s face was not angry at all. Anyway, who can sit here now without any hesitation?  Small-scale sarcasm is nothing at all. There are so many people in the small circle of Hong Kong businessmen who can't be dealt with, and even Uncle Liu can't get angry.  We are all of the same level, there is nothing that is allowed or not allowed.  As long as you don't use your own money, everything is easy to say.  Uncle Six also knew what Li Mingbao meant by his sarcasm, but he didn't care. What he really cared about was to make Li Mingbao and others agree to embolden them for the three major film companies, and then make money. Everything else was empty.  "Li Sheng, what do you think before we can ban those outsiders from coming in?" At this time, Uncle Six asked, "This is about conditions. Since you are not satisfied with us eating meat, then I will give you a piece of meat."  Is the head office ready?  After Uncle Liu said this, even Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were seriously preparing to listen to Li Mingbao's answer.  Although Lei Juekun and Zou Wenhuai would not deal with them, Lei Juekun would not be foolish enough to go against Liu Shu and the others when his own interests were at stake.  In fact, the reason Uncle Six came up with such an idea now was because he had no choice but to do so. His family knew about his family affairs. Although Shaw Brothers movies seemed to be booming now, and the company's market value had even increased so many times, it was about to compete with TVB.  The profit is almost there and everything looks so good.  But in fact it is not the same thing. The market value of Shaw Brothers Film Company has increased, but in essence, it is still the same old thing.  The reason why it is so prosperous now is just because it has a strong brand and Shaw Brothers' previous reputation.  As for things like this, after other foreign film companies have developed, Shaw Brothers' brand name will not be so bright. After all, what Shaw Brothers lacks now is not market value or anything, but blood-forming ability. Even in the past two years,  The movies produced by Shaw Brothers have such good conditions, but they have not achieved very good results, so Uncle Liu plans to sell part of the shares of Shaw Brothers when the market value of Shaw Brothers is at its peak, and then use it as a profit.  As for what will happen next, Uncle Six has not yet thought about it.  ¡°If Shaw Brothers is really in crisis, Uncle Six will definitely not mind selling it as a whole package and making a big profit. Even if he no longer has a film company, won¡¯t he still have shares in United Cinemas?  That way he still has a status in the film industry.  At worst, we can start a small company and develop it slowly. With such good conditions, starting a new business is not a big deal. The key is to sell Shaw Brothers at a good price, and the current price is not a big deal for Uncle Liu.  , it felt a little bit inferior, so Uncle Liu planned to raise the price as much as possible.  Therefore, Uncle Liu actually doesn¡¯t care that much about the purity and impurity of Hong Kong movies. Taking these things out is just?You have to play the tragedy card, and then you can get what you want without paying any actual benefits.  Li Mingbao also knew that he didn't care, so he started sarcastically.  Knowing that Li Mingbao couldn't take action just for the so-called tragedy card, Uncle Liu immediately changed his stance and talked about interests directly.  Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun also depend on Li Mingbao's attitude. In fact, for Jiahe, Uncle Liu's price increase has some benefits for them, but not much. After all, even if Jiahe's market value is higher  If Zou Wenhuai doesn't sell it, the market value will only be the market value, not actual benefits.  Maybe the old guys behind Zou Wenhuai will take action, but Zou Wenhuai himself will definitely not take action. But this time he is standing in the sixth uncle's position because he also has some vanity. If Jiahe's market value is really much higher, then  Even if Jiahe goes out, his confidence will be much stronger. Anyway, there are benefits, and Zou Wenhuai will naturally fight for it.  As for Lei Juekun, it is actually easier than Uncle Liu thought, because he is now ready to sell Xinyi City.  It's not that Lei Juekun is tired of the film industry and is ready to quit the industry, but he can now see clearly than Liu Shu and Zou Wenhuai that for Hong Kong people like them, the reason why the three major film companies have become  The three major film companies are not because of how many famous movies their film companies have produced. Although this is also one of the reasons, the reason why the three major film companies were so prestigious in the past was actually because of the theater chain. If  Without theater chains, the difference between the three major film companies and other film companies is not that big.  Under such circumstances, as long as Lei Juekun still has the shares of United Cinemas and the title of Director of Hong Kong, the film company is not actually that important to him. Without New Art City, as long as he still has  With talents in the film industry, he can create countless new art cities.  Therefore, the brand of New Art City, one of the three major film companies, is not that important to Lei Juekun. On the contrary, for those external film companies, the brand of New Art City is really as high as the three major film companies.  value.  In the past, even if Lei Juekun knew where the core interests of New Art City were, he would not have been able to sell New Art City. After all, New Art City was the first company he founded in the film industry, and it had very important consequences.  significance.  But now, Lei Juekun feels that it would be easier if he lost the Xinyi City brand.  Because he has now discovered that the other film industry shareholders in New Art City are not that strict in their thinking. To put it simply, they are xenophobic.  Logically speaking, New Art City's current brand is so big that it is not difficult to absorb foreign talents in the film industry. Increasing the company's strength will also increase the value of New Art City in disguised form, but Mecca Shitian and others have not done so.  In this way, it is not generally difficult for outsiders to enter New Art City, and even if they enter New Art City, it is not easy for them to get ahead.  Those guys have never thought about greater development and are clinging to their current power. As a result, New Art City's future achievements will become quite limited, although there are still three major film companies.  Hold on, but just like Uncle Liu was thinking, Lei Juekun was also thinking about how long can such a brand hold up?  With these shareholders vying for power, Lei Juekun is not so optimistic about the future of Xinyi City. In this case, Lei Juekun has made up his mind to sell Xinyi City at a good price while it is still glorious.  , and then start a new one and create a film company.  And the newly established film company will completely obey Lei Juekun's command, instead of being obedient and submissive like the current New Art City.  As I said before, Lei Juekun is a person with a strong desire for control. Li Mingbao suffered from this when he first debuted.  In the past, Lei Juekun had to tolerate Mecca and the others, because apart from people like them, there were no more film talents in Hong Kong.  But now, with the distribution port, more talents from the outside film industry have come to Hong Kong, and Lei Juekun has a choice. Under such circumstances, Lei Juekun will naturally no longer tolerate Mecca and their little tricks, and directly  Selling it is the easiest way. Not only can you obtain a large amount of funds and make your cash flow abundant, but you can also truly create a film company based on your own ideas.  Lei Juekun naturally couldn't resist such a temptation, so among the three major film companies, he was the most determined to sell his company.  As long as Li Mingbao really puts forward the conditions, Lei Juekun is willing to pay the price, because this is the only way to pay for the current benefits and obtain more long-term benefits in the future.  Therefore, Lei Juekun was more interested in him than Uncle Liu, who was always in the spotlight.  But how could Li Mingbao allow such things to happen that are detrimental to the interests of United Cinemas and Hong Kong?  If those foreign businessmen think that Hong Kong established a circulation port just to collect money, then the credibility of the circulation port will be reduced.??Do you want it anymore?  Uncle Liu and the others can have no moral integrity in this matter, that's because there is a major shareholder Li Mingbao above them. If something happens to the circulation port, they are not the first people to find trouble.  , but Li Mingbao.  If the sky falls and there are tall men holding it up, Uncle Liu and the others naturally don't care whether things are done kindly or not.
