    "Since Uncle Liu said this, that kid is offended. Regarding the Hong Kong film industry, although I entered the industry relatively late, I also understand some rules. Just like Uncle Liu said, what kind of movies should be made in Hong Kong?  It¡¯s not important, the most important thing is that there needs to be a theater chain to support it. Without a theater chain, no matter how good-looking the movie you make is, it will still be moldy in the warehouse. To be honest, I am a person who doesn¡¯t care about theater chains.  , I¡¯m really drooling. It¡¯s a pity that I was born a few years later, and now I can¡¯t even catch the last train of the cinema chain. Since Boss Lei took the last batch of good cinemas in Hong Kong into his own hands, the cinema chain structure in Hong Kong has changed.  , In fact, it has already been formed. Uncle Liu will have one share, Jiahe Zou Daheng will have one share, and the remaining share belongs to Boss Lei. Under such circumstances, even if I have money, it is not easy to get a piece of bones.  Hong Kong is so big, and the current theater chains can meet the needs of Hong Kong people. Unless I create a new theater chain in addition to this plan, there will be no room for me to eat meat in Hong Kong¡¯s theater chains.  Doing this will not only waste money, but also cause duplication of investment by Hong Kong cinemas, and ultimately make everyone unhappy. So, I really don¡¯t know how to solve this problem.  You must have a good idea for me, right?" Li Mingbao said, pretending to be sincere.  Since Uncle Liu brought up this topic intentionally, Li Mingbao is also welcome.  Anyway, among the theater chains in Hong Kong, the only one that is really weak is Liu Shu's Shaw Brothers.  If you lie later and say that Princess Jiahe is a good choice, Li Mingbao can just ignore it at worst, and Li Mingbao has nothing to lose.  After Li Mingbao filmed "Home Alone" and successfully released it, he really had the idea to build another theater chain in Hong Kong. Anyway, in Li Mingbao's view, at the end of 1983, a large number of British capital left, causing a collapse in Hong Kong real estate.  During the window period, if I really want to buy sites, with Li Mingbao's capital, I can buy a lot of them. By then, they will all be turned into modern cinemas, which will directly compete with all the Shaw Brothers Golden Harvest Princesses.  But later Li Mingbao gave up such an unreliable idea.  Li Mingbao has the money to build a theater chain by himself, and the funds used will not account for all of his own funds.  However, not only will this not bring much benefit, but it will involve your own funds in an unreliable place and affect your plans. It will not take a year or two to recover the costs.  What's more, Hong Kong is so big. With about a hundred cinema chains, everyone can make money. But if Li Mingbao builds another twenty or thirty cinemas, and they are modern cinemas, he will immediately offend the current film industry giants.  , when the time comes, not to mention that Uncle Six will cause trouble for him, Zou Wenhuai and Boss Lei will both jump at the chance.  One monk has water to drink, but three monks have no water to drink.  Now that Li Mingbao is going to be the fourth monk, the first three monks who have no water to drink will have to use all their energy on themselves. Maybe the cinema has not been established yet, and other people will form some kind of anti-Li alliance.  He turned himself into a target.  So in the end Li Mingbao gave up such a ridiculous idea.  If you want to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry, you can acquire other people's theater chains, but if you want to open up another theater chain yourself when other theater chains already exist, you will cut off other people's financial resources.  Cutting off someone's financial path is tantamount to killing their parents.  When the time comes, the Li family alone will not be able to withstand such great pressure.  Originally, I planned to enter the village quietly without firing a gun.  But now Uncle Six raised this issue so openly and openly, and said it again and again.  Li Mingbao didn't care whether Uncle Liu was showing off or something else, he immediately said what was in his heart. If you don't like me to say it, then I'll say it.  "Just now, Uncle Liu, you took over my army, so now I'm going to take over your army. I want to see, Uncle Six, what the hell are you planning?"  Hearing Li Mingbao¡¯s candid words, Uncle Six¡¯s expression did not change much. On the contrary, Aunt Six¡¯s expression was startled at first, and then she became a little lonely, and this loneliness was mixed with a bit of relief.  If Li Mingbao hadn't observed carefully after he finished speaking, he might not have noticed the subtle changes in Aunt Six's expression.  If this ability to change faces were just for acting, then Aunt Six's acting talent would not be inferior to that of the best actresses.  But when she reaches the status of sixth aunt, any movie queen is just a cloud to her.  Therefore, Aunt Six's change must be out of true love.  But in Li Mingbao's view, this true love was a bit confusing.  Aunt Six was surprised, which is easiest to understand, because Li Mingbao's covetousness for theaters is completely naked.  And Hong Kong is so big, there are only three cinema chains.  Unfortunately, Uncle Six happened to be one of them, and the weakest among them.  Even the strongest family will have a headache if they meet a dragon like Li Mingbao who has no secret of his appetite for theaters, let alone a current one.?Uncle Six who focused his main energy on Wireless, if Li Mingbao really wanted to say something, Uncle Six really didn't have much capital to resist.  So it's not surprising that Aunt Six was surprised.  As for the loneliness, it is easy to understand. After all, the industry of Shaw Brothers Cinemas can be said to be the result of decades of hard work by Uncle Liu and his family before it reached its current scale. From the rise to growth of Shaw Brothers, to what it is now,  Uncle Liu has devoted most of his life to it, but now he sees that this hard work is about to be seriously challenged by others, and he doesn't have much ability to resist. If Li Mingbao really wants to take action, Uncle Liu can't stop him.  Worry about the future of Shaw Brothers will naturally make Aunt Six lonely.  The first two expressions were easy for Li Mingbao to understand, but Aunt Six's last expression was puzzling to Li Mingbao. If he sat in Uncle Six's seat and knew that a Raptor was interested in his own land,  Even if he can't resist, he will never feel relaxed. Li Mingbao has cultivated himself to not be in a hurry. The thought of being relaxed will only come after he has forced the Raptors back.  As for this time, Li Mingbao would never have such an idea.  But Sixth Aunt's expression didn't seem to be fake. She really felt relaxed. For Li Mingbao, who didn't know what kind of medicine Six Uncle and Sixth Aunt sold in the gourd, such uncertain factors beyond his control were really difficult.  It's excruciating.  At this time, Li Mingbao didn't know that after "A Better Tomorrow" was released, Uncle Liu had the idea of ????taking action from Shaw Brothers. However, this idea was not yet mature at the time, so Uncle Liu was the only one who thought about it.  Auntie doesn¡¯t even know.  But now, after Li Mingbao got such a large amount of funds from Hollywood, Uncle Liu's idea has actually gained a lot of market, so he doesn't mind sharing his idea with Aunt Six.  At first, Aunt Six naturally thought that Uncle Six was old and confused, but after Uncle Six's explanation, Aunt Six understood to some extent what Uncle Six was thinking, so she reluctantly agreed.  But Liu Shu¡¯s thoughts were still overwhelming at that time. What Li Mingbao was thinking, Liu Shu didn¡¯t know.  Although as long as Li Mingbao wants to develop in Hong Kong, he must grasp the theater chain.  But the problem is that there are now three theater lines in Hong Kong, and Li Mingbao has three choices.  How did Zou Wenhuai and Boss Lei think that Uncle Liu was not clear, but Uncle Liu knew that even if he was a scarce material like the cedic line, he was willing to sell it, and others may not be willing to sell.  Especially for a person like Boss Lei who has become a monk on the way, if the theater chain can sell it at a good price, Boss Lei will definitely not refuse to sell it.  He entered this industry just to make money, and his enthusiasm for movies is even worse than that of Uncle Liu. Although it seems that the film industry will have a certain market in the future, how can the money in the future be compared to the money now?  If you can make money, why wait for that illusory future?  After having the preconceived idea of ??selling theaters, Uncle Liu had the possibility of selling theaters whether he was watching Zou Wenhuai or Boss Lei.  Under such circumstances, if you want to sell your own theater chain, you have to look to Li Mingbao.  Therefore, Uncle Six invited Li Mingbao over before he came back and even started splitting the box office accounts of "A Better Tomorrow".  On the surface, it is for Li Mingbao's future consideration, but in fact, he has made up his mind to sell the theater chain. For Uncle Liu, the theater chain is a matter of selling it sooner rather than later, because the Shaw Brothers theater chain has always been in the hands of Uncle Liu.  During bleeding, sell the day earlier and stop the loss the day earlier, which is more beneficial for controlling the future.  He is different from Jiahe and Golden Princess. Jiahe¡¯s theater chain and Golden Princess are selling, whether they sell them late or not early. After all, these two theater chains are still in the rising period. The later they are sold, the more value they can increase.  But the earlier the Shaw Brothers theater chain is sold, the more profitable it will be, because when Uncle Six is ??about to stop bleeding, how much assets will Shaw Brothers have left at that time?  So as soon as Li Mingbao came, Uncle Liu couldn't wait to talk about the theater chain, in order to sell the theater chain.  But Li Mingbao didn¡¯t know this situation!  Even if Li Mingbao has the memory of later generations and knows that Uncle Liu will sell theaters, the problem is that it will definitely not be now, at least two or three years later.  There are advantages and disadvantages to having the memory of future generations, and the disadvantage is that Li Mingbao firmly believes in some historical things, such as theater chains. Although he has been thinking about Shaw Brothers, he knows that Uncle Liu has no such idea now, so he has been  He acted very honestly, just afraid of what Uncle Liu would think.  As a result, Li Mingbao thought that Uncle Liu would not sell, and Uncle Liu thought that Uncle Liu would not buy it, so Uncle Liu's repeated hints had no effect. If Li Mingbao hadn't become angry in the end, maybe Uncle Liu's  All your hard work will be in vain.  If Li Mingbao had not been affected by the memory of later generations, with his intelligence, he would have understood what Uncle Liu meant when Uncle Liu talked about theaters again and again.  But fortunately, it is not too late for Li Mingbao to express his thoughts.  After Li Mingbao said that he had ideas about theaters, Uncle Liu felt a little helpless.He was so disappointed that he couldn't even pretend to be kind on his face and said to Li Mingbao: "Since Li Sheng, you also have ideas about the theater chain, what do you think of our Shaw Brothers theater chain, Li Sheng?"
