In the end, all the dozen or so scripts in Li Mingbao's hands were divided up by several other people. Only Cui Xiaoming stayed there to read them, and gained nothing. There was no way, he didn't get the appointment rights from overseas film producers in this regard at all, so even if he knew that these things were profitable, he could only watch. Of course, the biggest beneficiary is still Li Mingbao. Who said that he was the one who created these more than ten scripts? Yongsheng also paid the price that Lei Juekun gave, and also paid a little more. In the other two scripts, Li Mingbao was very generous, but in one script, Li Mingbao was very cruel. This script is called "God of Gamblers". Li Mingbao not only wants 40% of the Hong Kong box office, but also wants all the overseas box office in Europe and the United States, leaving Yongsheng with the box office in Southeast Asia, Taiwan, Japan and South Korea. It seems that Li Mingbao took a big advantage and Yongsheng spent money and effort. In the end, not only the Hong Kong box office could not be saved, but also the European and American box office did not receive it. It seemed that he was bullied miserably. But in fact, Yongsheng breathed a sigh of relief when he got such conditions. Because they don¡¯t care about the box office in Europe and America at all. Although everyone hopes that their movies can make big money in the European and American markets, for people like the Xiang brothers, they also know that the market there is too far away from them, and they will definitely not get involved in that market in a short period of time. possible. Therefore, Li Mingbao took over the copyright. For the Xiang brothers, they did not lose anything, because the overseas market they care about is the East Asian generation, and Li Mingbao did a good job in this regard and did not interfere at all. The Xiang brothers were very happy that Li Mingbao did not intervene in the place where he made a lot of money. As for the reaction of the European and American markets, the Xiang brothers were not interested. Now that United Cinemas has shares in overseas film companies, it is much easier for them to sell their films overseas than before. However, most of these overseas film companies have the capabilities of the East Asian generation. As for the companies in Hollywood, they are basically a No one does, because people there still don¡¯t like Hong Kong movies. Therefore, it is not easy to work hard to open up the joints there. It is better to start in East Asia. What¡¯s more, Li Mingbao¡¯s success at the box office in Europe and the United States is not without cost. At least Li Mingbao will play the role of producer in this movie. If someone else wants to grab Huasheng's position in Yongsheng, they should just spit on Huasheng. But if Li Mingbao were to be replaced, Xiang Huasheng would definitely welcome it. Even if Li Mingbao was the producer and controlled all the personnel and funds, Xiang Huasheng would not say a word more. Because movies produced by Li Mingbao mean they will be successful. It's like Yongsheng provided money and people, and then asked Li Mingbao to shoot this movie. It is already a great improvement for Li Mingbao to contribute good things without eating alone. How can the Xiang brothers be dissatisfied? Even though Li Mingbao said that the investment cost of this movie would be huge and there were still some joints that needed to be communicated by the Xiang brothers, they had no complaints. The more Li Mingbao attaches importance to a movie, the more profitable it is. If you can get such a script, you have to do it even if you lose money, let alone make money. As long as this movie is available, it will not be too difficult for Yong Sheng to gain a foothold in the Hong Kong film industry. After a group of people discussed the issue of script distribution, everyone suddenly realized that their group seemed to have ignored a certain person. Zheng Wenyun from the branch was watching with interest as they distributed the benefits. So Li Mingbao said: "Mr. Zheng, I would like to trouble you to talk to the superiors about the decoration of our theater chain. If it can be done, you must give us a message as soon as possible. If not, then we can do other things." If the arrangement is OK, we will handle it accordingly so that problems will not occur due to poor communication. " Zheng Wenyun is really not in a hurry at this time. Although the US dollar is very eye-catching, given his status, it is very important. It is difficult to participate in conferences in these top industries in Hong Kong. And this time I intervened and heard some news, it was a worthwhile trip. ¡°In the past, maybe he thought that Li Mingbao¡¯s ability to grow so big in such a short period of time was due to a lot of luck. Maybe in the future, he would be eaten by these old foxes until not a single bone was left. But now that he had actually come into contact with these things, he realized that Li Mingbao was not in vain. A big boss like Uncle Liu can talk to the central leaders in mainland China, but now for a few scripts, he actually has to recruit the Xiang brothers to get enough shares. And Li Mingbao was able to capture so much interest with more than ten scripts, and he had to put forward some conditions himself, and in the end others were able to satisfy him. This was not easy. It¡¯s not that Zheng Wenyun has not been familiar with the film industry in Hong Kong, and it¡¯s not that he doesn¡¯t know the status of screenwriters. But these common sense in Hong Kong are of no use to Li Mingbao. They have never been used in the past.The screenwriter has no speaking rights, but if he puts it in Li Mingbao's place, not only can these big guys cut his flesh, but he can also make them willing to do so. If Uncle Liu and Zou Wenhuai hadn't had extensive overseas channels, they would have been cut off by Li Mingbao. Even so, they had to give Li Mingbao a symbolic benefit in order to get the script. "Li Mingbao has such great power, who dares to treat him as a puppet?" He holds the largest stake in United Cinemas and can still reap the benefits of movies without opening a company. Such a person must not be regarded as a nouveau riche. Although his rise has been short, his status in the industry is definitely not low. Mr. Li's grandson is really not a simple person. Zheng Wenyun, who originally wanted to continue watching the excitement, did not expect that Li Mingbao and the others had no intention of saying more. After they had just distributed the benefits, they were eager to drive them away. Zheng Wenyun, who was accustomed to this kind of thing, also knew that it was time for him to say goodbye, so after Li Mingbao spoke, Zheng Wenyun patted his chest and assured that as long as the leaders above agreed, he would definitely be able to find a suitable construction company. Li Mingbao and the others wanted to When we start work, we can start work. After Zheng Wenyun left, Uncle Liu said: "Li Sheng, I think this matter can be solved in all likelihood. After all, the mainland wants to show its presence now, even if it is a loss. , they can do it, not to mention the conditions are as good as they are now. Hong Kong people are doing things that are losing money, but they may not be without money if they are left to the mainlanders. Coupled with their thirst for foreign exchange, this time we But five million U.S. dollars is not a small sum. Although it is easier to exchange here than in the mainland, the exchange rate in Hong Kong is still unstable, so if we want to exchange it, we are likely to suffer. It's a bit of a loss. But compared to such a big bargain, we will definitely make a lot of money, but it will cost a little money." "It's better to spend a little money now than lose a lot of money later. Depreciation, one million Hong Kong dollars ten years ago is worth a lot more than it is now. In Hong Kong, the currency depreciates faster. Get all the theaters in place as soon as possible. Although the one-time payment will be a lot, you will always earn it back in the future. "The longer we delay, the more money we will lose. "In fact, I think if we want to maximize the benefits, we have to spend a lot of money, and I don't know if you are willing to spend money." Li Mingbao said here. I couldn't help but glance at Uncle Six and the others. "You still have to spend money? Li Sheng, you are spending money like water. Although we all know that you just made a lot of money, such a one-time big spend is not a good thing in the long run. United Cinemas You may not spend more money in the future. Can you sustain it if you are so lavish now? Although you have money, if there is no more way to make money, the money will be spent sooner or later, so make plans early. , I can't live on this money in the end," Uncle Liu said with a long sigh. Seeing Uncle Liu's appearance, Li Mingbao touched his nose and said: "The money I plan to spend is actually for the good of the theater chain. Although our theater chain now has more than a hundred cinemas, the number of these cinemas The distribution of positions is not so reasonable. This matter seems to be a small matter now, but if we don¡¯t pay attention to it, it will definitely become a big deal in the future. Take the more than ten books I gave you, just for Hong Kong. The box office will definitely not be less than 200 million, and it may be more. What is this? This is the market. Now that the theaters in Hong Kong are integrated, there will be less internal consumption. In the future, people will watch movies in cinemas. There will definitely be more people. As long as this industry is developing, it is inevitable that there will be no jealous people. What should I do if there are United Cinemas in the beginning? Yes, there are film companies like you blocking it. It¡¯s not easy to get ahead. But when it comes to interests, there are always people who take action. We now have theater chains that can block others, but if others build them again. What about a cinema chain? How can we be stuck at that time? So now we have to prepare for a rainy day. Although there are more than 100 cinemas, it is not enough to control the entire Hong Kong film market. It's because the location of some places is not so suitable. In the past, it was enough for these cinemas to open. Whether the location was good or not was not a big consideration, but now it is not possible. If United Cinemas wants to control everything in Hong Kong, it must. If the market is fully regulated, we need to have our cinemas wherever necessary. That way, even if someone wants to spend efforts to establish an independent cinema chain, it will not pose a real threat to our cinema chain.¡± It costs a lot to do this. If we want to allocate all the movie theaters in our theater chain reasonably, some locations??A cinema must be built, but the land in those places is not cheap. The money to be spent here is at least 200 million Hong Kong dollars. This much money is really too much. "Sixth Uncle said with a frown.
