Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Although Li Mingbao said it was simple, in fact, this matter was quite complicated.  Because as long as it is a matter of film arrangement, it involves a fundamental issue, and that is interests.  If your good movies take up too much of the screen and your time, others will have less to eat. It doesn't matter if you film one or two. Over time, if others don't have any complaints, that's all a lie.  In the past, there was pressure from major theater chains and independent cinemas to divert distribution, so in this area, although it cannot guarantee that everyone's interests are the same, even if others have grievances, it is not the fault of Li Mingbao and the others, because the theater chains are not unified.  Yes, if you really have the ability to build a theater yourself, why bother asking Uncle Six and the others?  There is no point in blaming anyone for this capital problem.  But the problem is that now United Cinemas is basically a monopoly in Hong Kong. With such a big reputation, other people are looking at United Cinemas?  In the past, it didn't matter if someone else took the pressure off, but now there is no one to take the pressure off. Most people will put their grievances on United Cinemas, and maybe have other ideas in mind.  So the current situation is completely different from before. No matter whose interests are missing, it is not a good idea. It is obviously impossible to take care of all aspects.  Someone will definitely lose money, it's just a matter of how much.  ¡°Originally, when the United Cinema Line was established, rules should have been put in place for things like this.  But when Li Mingbao integrated the theater chain, he was quite hasty and took advantage of the general trend to get it done. Although this would avoid competition, it was not perfect. Some of the original old problems have now been highlighted.  The reason why we didn¡¯t talk about it at the time was because everyone knew that this time could still be postponed for a while, and then during this time, we could work hard to make capital for ourselves.  But now, when it can no longer be delayed, we can only take out the charter.  Whether it is Liu Shu, Zou Wenhuai or even Lei Juekun, they all understand the same truth.  When the theater decoration is completely completed, that's when Li Mingbao really puts his hands into theater management.  Although the previous United Cinemas were unified, they were still in a state of fragmentation. Even the management of Shaw Brothers, which was bought by Li Mingbao, basically relied on the foundation of Liu Shu. Li Mingbao was in charge of human resources  Above, there is not much room for discussion.  Even Shaw Brothers is like this, let alone Princess Jin and Jiahe. The management authority there is even more chaotic. Li Mingbao has never waded into this muddy water.  But now that the renovation of the theater chain is completed, if Li Mingbao doesn't take these personnel rights into his own hands, he will easily be ignored by others. By then, the United Cinema Line will be just an independent entity bearing the name of United Cinema.  There are great obstacles for Li Mingbao to control the theater chain.  In terms of personnel, Li Mingbao is not very worried. The top students brought back from the United States are not vegetarians. Coupled with his original foundation, Li Mingbao has taken back the personnel rights now, and there is no problem at all. Even Uncle Liu and the others are not worried.  It is impossible to be careless on this issue because it is against the rules.  ????????????????????????????????????¡­  As an independent and joint venture, United Cinemas already had a clear legal boundary with Uncle Liu's Shaw Brothers, Golden Harvest Films, and New Art City at the moment of its establishment.  But the legal limit does not mean that there is really no connection at all. At least the sixth uncle Zou Wenhuai and the others are also shareholders of United Cinemas. They are constantly cutting and confusing, and the connection between them is not just a sentence or two.  That will solve the problem.  The biggest problem lies in the arrangement of films.  As shareholders of United Cinemas, even if they are not major shareholders, they still have the right to recommend movies to be screened in United Cinemas. This is a rule that has been established long ago, and it was also the promise made by Li Mingbao when he acquired their cinemas.  Otherwise, the original acquisition would not have been so smooth.  In the case that United Cinemas is not entirely its own industry, but the film company is its own industry, whether it is Liu Shu, Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun, or even Yongsheng, as the bosses of the film company, they naturally  I would not consider recommending other people's movies to be screened at United Cinemas. Even if they were to be screened, they would be screening their own company's movies.  Perhaps some related film companies can also take their own films and put them into the United Cinemas projection system through Uncle Liu and others.  However, this cannot completely solve the problem, because there are not only related film companies in Hong Kong, but also newly established film companies. They are not so lucky. However, the films they have made cannot be screened, which is harmful to them.  Cost pressure is also great. Under such circumstances, if those companies want to make money, they have to give money to Uncle Liu and his company, or directly buy out their own movies to Uncle Liu and his film company in order to obtain a smooth release.  that power.  When you do this, at a quick glance, it seems like there is nothing.problem, but in fact, this problem is really too big.  For those small companies, the movies they buy out, no matter whether they are good or bad, have nothing to do with them. In many cases, even the cost cannot be recovered, because Uncle Liu and the others have never been kind people. With good movies, they may  We will give you an almost appropriate buyout price. What do you mean by an almost appropriate price?  In other words, the price may be slightly higher than the cost of the movie, and it will only allow you to earn hard-earned money. Wanting to earn more is simply delusional, let alone you and Uncle Liu and the others to discuss the issue of sharing, Uncle Liu and the others are just  I won't give you such good treatment.  With United Cinemas being the only one, your movie will either not be released in Hong Kong, or you will have to buy it out, or else even if you make the movie, you won¡¯t have a place to show it.  Don't be unhappy. If you don't buy it out for Uncle Liu and the others, some people will buy it out for them. Even if everyone doesn't buy it out for Uncle Liu and the others, they won't show it. Uncle Liu and the others don't care. They can do it themselves.  There are still movies from movie companies in Xanadu that cannot be shown. Giving you a chance is to give you face. You don¡¯t want face. We are too lazy to care. Who said that United Cinemas is an exclusive business?  Doing this will not have much impact on the theater chain in a short period of time, because even if it is a movie by Uncle Liu and others, the procedures must be followed. The settlement of their company's movies is not the same as the settlement of the United Cinemas.  Yes, everyone has an independent system. At most, for their own movies, when the funds are returned, the flow of liquidity will be a bit faster. Everything else is the same as for foreign movies.  treatment.  It will not affect the actual income of the theater chain.  But in the long run, the consequences of this will be the complete destruction of Hong Kong movies.  Even Uncle Liu and his own film company will become an empty shell and directly play capital games, because this is the most profitable way.  Your own company¡¯s movies also have to consider the issue of profit and loss, but if you switch to a buyout, it will be completely different.  As long as we find a few reliable reviewers, the problem of the source of the movie can be completely solved. Then we don¡¯t have to worry about whether the movie will lose money or not, it¡¯s just about the income from watching the movie.  Because by doing this, the risk is given to other film companies. In their company, only good films can be released, and bad films have to be kept for themselves. The risk is all in their hands. If they mess up a movie, maybe it will be a good one.  The film companies will have to close down because the profits they make in this industry are not enough to cover their losses.  ¡° In this way, it is not impossible for Hong Kong movies to let alone a hundred flowers bloom, and be directly hanged by the United Cinemas monopoly.  If you want to break this system, unless other companies open another theater chain, there will be a new way out.  By doing this, you are completely creating enemies for United Cinemas. In the end, it will not be Uncle Liu and the others who lose money, but only Li Mingbao. Who said he is the major shareholder of United Cinemas?  So when buying out the movie happened, Li Mingbao had already said hello to Uncle Liu and the others, hoping not to do this.  But with such high profits, why would Uncle Liu and the others care about Li Mingbao's greetings?  Convergence is convergence, but it moves from the ground to the ground.  United Cinemas has not really started operations yet, so Uncle Liu and the others did this. Li Mingbao could only say hello before and not let them go too far, but this problem must be solved by now, otherwise he would invest so much  , and have such high expectations for Hong Kong movies, the short-sightedness of Uncle Six and his colleagues will directly bring down the industry, which is completely against Li Mingbao's interests.  If you want to get the problem back to the point, you can only work on the root cause, that is, work on the arrangement of the film.  After Li Mingbao finished speaking, he saw that several other people were silent. Li Mingbao knew that these people in front of him had already enjoyed the buyout money in a short period of time, and he did not want to waste this piece of money.  Give up the interests.  But just because they didn¡¯t give in, it didn¡¯t mean that Li Mingbao wouldn¡¯t do it. He was still the major shareholder of United Cinemas, so when his own interests were at stake, Li Mingbao had no chance of giving in.  Therefore, even if Uncle Six and others had previously made high-profile remarks and had no actual actions, Li Mingbao still had to promote new measures.  "I haven't been in Hong Kong for a long time, so the issue of film scheduling was left to Uncle Six and you guys to take care of. To be honest, it was done very well, and the income from the joint theater chain was even before it was completely completed.  , it is much better than before, it can be said to be an instant hit. But I have to say that the simple plan you guys came up with at the beginning still has room for improvement, so I hope to update the film arrangement of the United Cinemas.  Let me explain the regulations in order to adapt to the actual situation of United Cinemas. First of all, regarding movies, United Cinemas will not accept local movie screening requests, except for local film companies, whether they are large companies or small companies.  Companies, as long as they make a living in this industry, they will be??Composition pattern.  "
