Once the intention was reached, there was no need for Li Mingbao and Uncle Liu to talk about the next thing. Naturally, the lawyers below would solve all the problems. After selling Shaw Brothers Cinemas, the expression on Uncle Liu's face became much richer. "Li Sheng, I'm not afraid of your jokes, so I sold Shaw Brothers to you. To be honest, I'm a little reluctant to part with it. The Shaw Brothers theater chain can be said to have been built up by our Shaw family bit by bit. I wish I had come here alone. In Hong Kong, we have nothing in the Shaw Brothers family. It is really not easy to reach our current heights by relying on one movie after another. Once the Shaw Brothers theater chain is sold, the business of Shaw Brothers Movies will basically disappear. He died before I left. I feel sorry for my brothers." "Sixth Uncle, why are you so sad? The Shaw family is not really in decline. With Sixth Uncle here, your Shao family will not be in decline. It's just that your business has refocused. Besides, what I bought is only the theater chain in Hong Kong. Aren't your Shaw Brothers theater chains in Nanyang still in your hands? Now, it is just dormant. When Uncle Liu wants to make a movie again, it will not be difficult for Shaw Brothers to rise. With your prestige, Uncle Liu, is there anyone in Hong Kong who will not give it to Uncle Liu? Do you have face? It's not easy to get territory if you have money and connections. It's not easy for a little guy like me to get something." Li Mingbao was in a good mood after winning the Shaw Brothers Cinema. , so I don¡¯t mind flattering Uncle Liu. "Li Sheng, you are still young and have plenty of opportunities. When you were so young, I was still a clueless young man, so Li Sheng, your future must be broader than mine. Now, Li Sheng, you have won Shao There must be a next step for the theater chain. Liu Shubucai can also help you with reference. After all, you and I both know the current situation of Shaw Brothers. There are also Jiahe and Princess Jin who are eyeing it. It's not a fuel-saving lamp. If you are not careful, they will have to take action. In the past, I was responsible for this pressure, but now, it is up to you, Li Sheng, to resist. Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are both ambitious. If you accept Shao as a vigorous person, your heart will inevitably be unstable. When they come to use eye drops, it will not be easy to deal with it," Uncle Liu said with a smile. Hearing Uncle Liu talk about Jiahe and Princess Jin, Li Mingbao cursed in his heart. Uncle Liu, an old fox, now that he has let go of Shaw Brothers Cinema, he no longer has any direct conflict with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. But Uncle Liu didn't think it was enough and actually put eye drops in front of him. It seemed that Uncle Liu still had resentment in his heart. He was not happy, and he was also unhappy with Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. But what Uncle Liu said was not nonsense. In the past few years, Shaw Brothers has become a piece of fat in Uncle Liu's hands. Not to mention Li Mingbao, even Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are all there. Take advantage of Shaw Brothers. After all, the decline of Shaw Brothers is not a problem of the theater chain itself, but a problem of the movies. Regarding this issue, Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun are both more confident than Uncle Liu. Now that Li Mingbao is interfering like this, the two bosses must be unhappy, and naturally they have to make some small moves. But fortunately, Li Mingbao had no intention of confronting him head-on. He had already made arrangements for these two cinemas and really got things done. Naturally, these two big guys would not target him. Uncle Liu's worries were not a concern for Li Mingbao. , is redundant. "I have actually made plans for Jiahe Cinema and Golden Princess Cinema for a long time. Uncle Liu, don't you think how big are the cinemas in Hong Kong now? How big is Hong Kong? The population is only over six million. That's it. Despite the population, there are only four major theater chains. Although the left-wing theater chains have little influence on the Hong Kong market, there are only three major theater chains in a market as big as the United States. That¡¯s it. Why does Hong Kong have so many theaters? This is not good news for the Hong Kong film industry. A movie that is released in one theater cannot be released in other theaters in Hong Kong. For a movie, other movies basically follow this model. The movie market, which is not big, has been divided into several parts. In this way, even if a good movie comes out, it will not be easy for everyone to have enough. Loss has become a normal situation. In this case, why do there need to be so many theater chains in Hong Kong? If there is only one theater chain, the film market in Hong Kong will definitely be much better than it is now. And I plan to do so. It is to unify the theater market in Hong Kong. This will be a good choice for theater owners and film dealers. Look at my movie "A Better Tomorrow" and you will know that the three major theater chains have united. How powerful is it? With a box office of more than 60 million, without the cooperation of the three major theaters, it would be impossible for just one theater to get such a box office. Although there is no denying that the quality of this movie is indeed a factor. But if there is only oneScreened online, no matter how good the quality of this movie is, it will not have such a high box office. So, from the beginning, I was thinking about how to make the Hong Kong film market more prosperous. After much deliberation, one was to increase revenue and the other was to reduce expenditure. Open source is to produce more good-looking movies, while cutting expenditure is to minimize the internal friction in the Hong Kong film industry. The integration of theater chains is the biggest move among them. If I didn't have such confidence before, but now, since Uncle Liu has sold Shaw Brothers Cinemas to me, then I may be able to speak in front of Boss Zou and Boss Lei. . "Li Mingbao did not hide the plan to integrate theaters from Uncle Liu. "Such a big matter is not something Li Mingbao can hide if he wants to. As long as he starts taking action, Uncle Liu will definitely receive the news. Instead of talking to him at this time Uncle Liu was being careless, so he might as well express his thoughts openly. Li Mingbao's idea of ??integrating Hong Kong theaters was definitely not the first one he came up with in Hong Kong. Uncle Liu must have had such a plan, and Zou Wenhuai also had the same idea. , even Lei Juekun, who is new to the industry, may not have such an idea. If this idea was still hazy before, then when Li Mingbao's "A Better Tomorrow" is screened across the board, these bosses may not have such an idea in their minds. It can be said that there is something wrong with their brains. But the integration of theaters is not something that anyone can do if they want to. On this issue, Li Mingbao has an innate advantage. Big. At least when Uncle Liu wants to acquire Jiahe Cinema, the resistance is definitely many times greater than when Li Mingbao acquires Jiahe or merges with Jiahe. The grievances between Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai would take several days to talk about, if it weren't for this. With absolute power, it is basically impossible for Uncle Liu to swallow up Jiahe Cinema. Boss Lei may be better off, but since Boss Lei wants to make money in this industry, his expected price will be very high. Uncle Liu may have the money to buy it, but Uncle Liu wants to fade out of the industry, so buying it is useless, so even an overlord like Uncle Liu wants to integrate the theater chain is empty talk, let alone others. It is easiest for Li Mingbao to integrate theaters. The first and most important condition is that he has money. Not everyone in Hong Kong has $300 million in cash at Standard Chartered. In the bank, even the top families in Hong Kong may not have such working capital. Not to mention Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, even Uncle Liu would only envy him. And the second point is. Li Mingbao doesn't have many conflicts with these three big guys. Of course, this doesn't mean that there are no conflicts at all, but it means that the conflicts don't go deep into the bones, and they don't even want to touch each other like Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai. There were some conflicts with Lei Juekun at the beginning, but that conflict was resolved before. But now, with Li Mingbao's financial resources, Lei Juekun himself doesn't care about ordinary conflicts as long as it is not a life-and-death feud. Come on. With these two points in mind, Li Mingbao¡¯s desire to integrate theaters is not an empty talk. At least it can be implemented. ¡°Li Sheng, you are very determined. It's really big. I didn't expect that you would immediately want to integrate the entire theater chain in Hong Kong as soon as you got the Shaw Brothers theater chain. The benefits here are huge. Especially some of the key issues, if you don't handle them well, integrating theater chains will be a joke. It¡¯s not that I didn¡¯t have such an idea at the beginning, but ideas are ideas and it¡¯s difficult to implement them. Hong Kong is full of temple bastards. If you want to integrate theater chains, the first thing you need is money, which you don¡¯t lack. The second is to have connections and abilities, and let others know that you are doing something well by integrating theater chains. You are not lacking in this. Although you entered the industry late, less than two years ago, the three movies you made have allowed others to know your abilities. However, the most important point is that integrating theater chains will affect the interests of other people. Whether it is Princess Jin or Jiahe. Why do they have theater chains? It¡¯s not like charging theaters the same amount of money. Hong Kong¡¯s film industry is in a slump, and it¡¯s difficult to make money back by relying solely on theater chains. So even if it is the newly opened Golden Princess, their theater chain mainly serves their own movies. The newly opened film company in Xinyi City can still make a profit. Although it is not as good as Li Shengyou, it is much better than other film companies in Hong Kong. Even compared to Jiahe, it's not that bad. You have integrated theater chains, what should you do with the movies of these film companies? Theater chains are not a money-making thing, but movies make money and can support each other. If you cut off the theater chain to those film companies, where will their movies be released? This is clearly a way to cut off people and make money. Even if the theater chain does not make money, others will not be willing to sell it to you. "Perhaps it's because his theater chain was sold, but Uncle Six didn't shy away from talking about this matter at all.
