Hearing Uncle Liu's explanation, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were both surprised. It was really surprising that such words came out of Uncle Liu's mouth. You know, here in Hong Kong, among the people in the film and television industry who like this kind of low-cost movies the most, Uncle Liu is definitely the one who does the best. This has even become Uncle Liu's obsession. I think back then, Uncle Liu ended up incurring a loss of 100,000 yuan for low-cost lunch boxes. Such a thing is not a very secretive thing in Hong Kong, let alone Boss Zou and the others are working in this industry. If Uncle Liu is like this, it is completely subversive, right? When did Uncle Six start to like making fine products? Thinking about what Uncle Liu liked to do the most at the time, wasn't it low cost and high return? The Star Wars imitation movie I made two or three years ago was originally very aggressive and wanted to make a Hong Kong classic movie. However, due to cost issues, it ended up being a completely different movie. In the end, not only did it not make any money. I lost a lot of money, and by the way, I also hooked up with a very talented director. Although outsiders say that the director did a bad job, in fact Zou Wenhuai and the others know very well that the failure of that film does not mean that the director failed at all, but that the failure was due to Uncle Liu's strict cost, that is, he wanted to make a lot of money. He was reluctant to invest, but in the end he failed to make any big money and lost a lot of small money. This kind of thing is Uncle Liu's style. Did he change his gender today? So after hearing Uncle Liu's words, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun looked at Uncle Liu with weird looks in their eyes, making it clear that they didn't believe Uncle Liu said such high-sounding words. As an old fox, Uncle Six could naturally see the strange looks in the eyes of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. It makes people like Uncle Liu blush a little. After all, it's not surprising that such words come from anyone's mouth, but it's obviously not that easy for people to believe it when it comes from his sixth uncle's mouth. "Wen Huai, Lei Juekun, what are you looking at me for? I know it's a bit strange to say such words from my mouth. But this is really what I am thinking now, and I am definitely not kidding." Liu Shuyi Said with a serious face. But Liu Shu¡¯s words had no effect at all. The eyes of Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun were still so strange. Uncle Liu also understood that it was not easy to change such a concept, so after Uncle Liu sighed, he expressed his true thoughts: "Actually, after these few years, my concept is also true. Of course, such a change in concept does not happen overnight. It is because of the great stimulation. Li Sheng¡¯s success must be familiar to everyone here, and his method of success can be regarded as relatively familiar to us. I understand. I have been thinking about this question in the past few years. Why is our Shaw Brothers industry so prosperous that it continues to lose money? Is it really because there are fewer people watching movies? I would use such words to comfort myself. But now, I understand that such words are just a cover-up. To be honest, the current situation in the Hong Kong film industry is not bad. It can even be said that it is worse than any previous stage. , it would be much better. But in such a good world, our Shaw Brothers have been losing money, and even losing money makes me feel sad. It is obviously not because of the world. I couldn¡¯t figure it out before. After having Li Sheng, I understood. The film industry is constantly developing. Whoever falls behind will be eliminated. This is the same even in Hollywood, let alone us in Hong Kong. Li Sheng started making money as soon as he debuted. In our opinion, his previous two movies were not very sophisticated. His selling point was obviously based on new ideas. This is different from the movies we made before. , in fact, the difference is not big. But then when I came to "A Better Tomorrow", I saw a new style. The success of this movie is obviously not based on new thinking. With such a big sensation, looking at the cost Li Sheng spent on making this movie, I am convinced that in the current film industry, those who really want to make big money and can make big money only have intrinsic quality and quality. Only when the external quality is high will it be possible to create a sensation and make big money. The internal quality depends on the script, or in other words, the thinking. No matter how small the cost of a movie is, as long as there are bright spots in it, it will be successful. It's not that difficult to make money, but it's not that easy to make a lot of money. It also depends on financial support for the movie "A Better Tomorrow", both in terms of script and funding. In terms of investment, it is a big subversion of our previous Hong Kong movies. The investment cost of HK$5 million was something we had been laughing at before, but when it came to the box office, it was a big deal.After coming, who among us will laugh? ¡°In the local box office market of Hong Kong alone, Li Sheng was able to make back the cost with this movie, and the subsequent sales results were also quite gratifying. And the income in the United States makes us all jealous. What does Li Mingbao rely on to succeed? In my opinion, there are only two factors for his success in movies, one is thinking and the other is funds. He is willing to spend money to make movies, and then the movies can give him generous returns. Relying on these two things, he was able to thrive both in Hong Kong and the United States. Under such circumstances, can I still not understand the truth behind this? So even though Li Sheng¡¯s and my film concepts are completely opposite, I can only admit that Li Sheng¡¯s methods are better. It is definitely not a fluke that he is able to have such a net worth as he is now. ¡° If there were only people like us in Hong Kong before, then even if we were just messing around, it wouldn¡¯t be a big deal. But the problem is that the film forces in Hong Kong are no longer that simple. The influx of external forces is a huge threat to us. The strength of those guys abroad may not be much less than ours, or even There are stronger ones. Under such circumstances, if I don¡¯t know how to adapt, then in the future I will have to rely on United Cinemas to collect money. It will be very difficult to obtain profits from movies. This is not just me, but also Wen Huai and you Lei Juekun. In the past, our three major theater chains were indeed able to call the shots, but now, that may not be the case. Under such an impact, I am afraid that only Li Sheng can face it all calmly, because he has enough foundation to let others The most important thing is that Li Sheng himself does not have a film company yet, so he can maintain the status quo. With his ability, it is actually very simple to make a living in the film industry. But we may not be that comfortable. Under fair competition, our lives will be difficult. This is why I said I would use Li Sheng¡¯s Film and Television City. ???????????? To put it well, it¡¯s called taking help, but to put it badly, it¡¯s actually to ask Li Sheng to give us a hand when we are suppressed. As long as Li Sheng's film and television city is really completed, Li Sheng's status in this industry will be quite transcendent. When the time comes, we, the people, will definitely have time to ask for Him. To be honest, my feelings towards Li Sheng are very complicated now. On the one hand, I want Li Sheng to open a film company, which will also help us resist threats from the outside world. But on the other hand, I am afraid of Li Sheng. When establishing a film company, if Mr. Li swallows us people up first and then deals with outsiders, then our film company will be completely finished. In short, the current situation in the Hong Kong film industry is too complicated. We also have to work together to prevent Hong Kong from completely becoming a place for outsiders. If so, how can our Hong Kong film industry develop? How else do we people make money? Even if we can make a lot of money by relying on the United Cinemas, it will be much easier than resisting, but that is not the result we need. " Uncle Liu can say these words, obviously he wants to completely win over Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. To be honest, although Uncle Liu had feelings for the film industry before, in terms of interests, Uncle Liu can be very Give up these feelings easily. After all, in his opinion, there are only so many benefits in Hong Kong's film industry, which is far behind TVB. But now that Li Mingbao has created this distribution port, the film industry will be in trouble. The overall scale of the interests inside is much larger than before. Even the interests of wireless TV stations are not as good as the interests above. This is why Uncle Liu has begun to pay attention to the film industry in the past two years. For other reasons, because of the current gold content of this industry, even if it cannot exceed the income of wireless, if he can really absorb such income, he can still make a lot of money, but no one wants to make money by himself. Let others make money. This is the fundamental reason why Uncle Liu has changed. To put it bluntly, Uncle Liu¡¯s most fundamental attitude towards any industry is always based on profit. But the current situation in the film industry is quite bad. Zou Wenhuai has been following this path, and his strength is considered to be the best. Lei Juekun also has a lot of talents, and he can take advantage of it, but the situation on Uncle Liu's side is the worst. There are many old people, and even more those who have not kept up with the times. As for the newcomers, Uncle Liu's background is the weakest. Therefore, if there is a conflict, the first person to bear the brunt is his Uncle Liu. Who is Uncle Liu here? In this industry, who is the best person to bully? There are many talented actors and behind-the-scenes talents, but there is really a shortage of key directors who can make movies. Under such circumstances, in order to ensure that. For his own benefit, Uncle Six naturally wants to attract foreign aid. The first step in this foreign aid is ZouHuai and Lei Juekun, and the second link is Li Mingbao.
