    "I'm afraid it's not good if everything is changed to a profit-sharing model? That way, there will be no screening channels for films from other film companies in Hong Kong. Doing this will ruin people's jobs. Li Sheng, your rule is  Isn't that too unkind?" Uncle Liu said with a heartbroken expression when he heard that Li Mingbao would not allow the local film to be released.  ¡°For those who don¡¯t know, how much affection does Uncle Six have for those film companies?  But everyone present understood that this was Li Mingbao blocking Uncle Liu's financial path.  To say that among the people present, the only one who really had no confidence in his own movie was Uncle Liu.  Zou Wenhuai¡¯s Jiahe is now very prosperous. Not only is he making money in Hong Kong, but he is also working hard in Hollywood. Although he has not made much money, and it cannot compare with Li Mingbao, he has not lost money and has a small surplus.  So although he does buy-out movies, he doesn't make them big. After all, every company's movies basically have a quota. Jiahe has so many movies that it can hardly take care of them. He does buy-outs, but it's not that big.  Make money.  Lei Juekun relies on New Art City and his film output is not too small, so he does not buy out too much. That is, when he sees a suitable movie, he is ready to get a vote and make a little money.  As for Cui Xiaoming, it goes without saying that when they don¡¯t have enough film quotas, there are a lot of film businessmen behind them who can¡¯t even handle it themselves, let alone buy out the films, so the really cleanest ones are  There is only Cui Xiaoming. Of course, his status in the board of directors can basically be ignored. He is equivalent to a megaphone and does not have much power to speak.  As for Yongsheng's buy-out films, his appearance is actually uglier than even Uncle Liu's. Uncle Six has to wait and see if others are willing to buy out his films. If not, Uncle Six won't mind his own business. However, because Yong Sheng has just opened his business, the films he has are not at all  There weren't many, so they focused their attention on buying off pieces. Not only was the price lower than Uncle Liu's, but they also liked to buy them by force. Coupled with their backgrounds, this matter became more troublesome.  Fortunately, their shares in United Cinemas are not large, so the quota is much lower than that of Liu Shu. In addition, Li Mingbao's quota was basically given to Liu Shu in the previous period, so  It was considered as a reward for giving more management to Uncle Six, so when it came to the real danger, only Uncle Six's reputation was the loudest, and Yongsheng just lived in a small circle.  Seeing Uncle Liu¡¯s appearance, Li Mingbao was also quite bored. It¡¯s okay for you to act in front of others. Why do you do such a thing in front of a group of understanding people?  It's inappropriate.  "Uncle Six, please don't say more. Although I'm out of town, I don't know what's going on here. Although you are making money by doing this, you are also cutting off people's future. It's just such a small amount of money.  The income is not as high as other industries. After a long time, who will come to make movies? By then, the United Cinemas can¡¯t all show your movies, which will be very annoying, even if you are so powerful, you will cause public outrage.  It¡¯s not going to end well. So this business should be discontinued. You have made a lot of money. If you really want to make a lot of money, you still have to make your own movies. Then there are only a few film companies in the market.  This market will slump. You don¡¯t want to see the Hong Kong film market become a desert, right? None of the giant Hollywood film companies have done this. Needless to say, Hong Kong cannot cultivate the market.  Eat all the young plants," Li Mingbao said meaningfully.  When Li Mingbao said this, Uncle Six also knew that there was nothing he could do about it.  After all, everyone knows what he did before. He looked ugly and ruined the market. Although no problem can be seen in a short time, who can not understand the consequences of doing so as time goes by?  Uncle Liu knew it himself, but the money came in too quickly and he couldn't bear it.  "Regarding the issue of film scheduling for the joint cinema chain. I think a distribution company needs to be established in the future, and then all the issues of film release will be left to the distribution company. The theater chain will solve the simple release problem. On the distribution company's side  The issue of film quota will be determined according to their respective shares. Of course, it is not absolute. After the establishment of this company, it can be coordinated. But in general, the Hong Kong film market is determined by the film arrangement of this distribution company.  I don¡¯t own a film company, so most of the shares I hold will be used for distribution by other film companies in Hong Kong. If Uncle Liu is willing to do the distribution of your own company, then do it. If you don¡¯t want to, you can also outsource it.  . In general, a sound distribution mechanism is needed to prevent most movies in Hong Kong from being released," Li Mingbao said.  "Li Sheng, this is not possible. You are the major shareholder of the theater chain. The quota in your hand is not a small amount. If you distribute it to other companies, wouldn't it impact the existing film company market?" Zou Wenhuai became anxious.  .  He had to worry, why were the three major film companies unable to catch up with others in the past?  It¡¯s because these three major film companies not only own film companies, but also have the power to show movies in theaters.  You can¡¯t say that about the three major film companies.The content of the film is not good enough. In fact, except for Shaw Brothers, the quality of the films of the other two film companies is quite good. The films are good, coupled with the support of the theaters, this is what the three major film companies are unique in.  The real reason.  But this does not mean that except for the three major film companies in Hong Kong, the films produced by other film companies are not interesting at all. On the contrary, because there are so many film companies, there are not a few excellent films from them.  In the past, these film companies could not develop due to theater chain problems, but if Li Mingbao serves as the major shareholder to promote the growth of the market, it would not be strange for the three major film companies to be promoted.  ???Anyone with a bit of brains will understand that what Li Mingbao really wants to do is to find a competitor for them.  If another company takes over, they may not be able to protect the interests of the theater chain. Li Mingbao could tolerate Uncle Liu and the others for the sake of the theater chain and the film company.  But if someone can replace him, Li Mingbao will not do anything for his own rights.  To put it bluntly, as a monopolistic movie theater chain, Li Mingbao has an inherent advantage. Coupled with his status as a major shareholder, although he does not have a movie company, as long as he does this, it will take a little longer, and the theater chain will  Li Mingbao's right to speak will completely surpass Zou Wenhuai and the others. In the theater chain, Zou Wenhuai and the others will not have much say at all. Instead, they may compete with the rising stars for Li Mingbao's favor.  This is equivalent to Zou Wenhuai and others who were originally referees. Although they were deputy, they also had the right to speak. However, the referee Li Mingbao simply kicked them off the field and asked them to become athletes. Li Mingbao got all the benefits.  In the end, Zou Wenhuai and the others could only look at Li Mingbao's face, so if Li Mingbao did this, not to mention Zou Wenhuai wouldn't agree, Uncle Liu and the others would also not agree.  Of course, Li Mingbao knew what Zou Wenhuai and the others were worried about, so after saying this, he continued: "I am not doing this to impact the market, but to expand the market. The current United Cinemas are not the three major cinemas of the past.  In the online era, at that time, the total number of movie screens we controlled was only so much. Now it seems good to triple it, but after the screen triples, the output of your companies can also triple.  Times? Obviously this is impossible. The more screens there are, the more mobile the movie will be. In the past, a blockbuster movie would still have box office sales three months after it was released, but now with so many screens, do you think it will still be there?  Is this the case? In my opinion, there are so many theater screens now, 300 screens, no matter how big the investment is for a movie, no matter how good the content is, it will not be able to be released in a joint theater chain.  More than three months. Because within one month, based on Hong Kong¡¯s population base, the movie¡¯s box office market can be completely released. This is still a blockbuster movie. If it is a low-cost movie, it may not take more than one month to be released.  Weekly, as for rubbish movies, the screening time may be very long during rubbish time, but everyone knows that doing so can only ensure that the utility bills are collected, and the actual profit will not be too large, so our internal movies are meaningless.  It is obviously unrealistic for the company to cover all the movies in United Cinemas. Don¡¯t look at Uncle Liu, you made a lot of money from the movies you bought out before, but that is because United Cinemas does not have complete films.  To release our own capabilities, the problem of movie screening seems to be crowded. But now that all the theaters of the United Cinemas have been renovated, judging from the amount of movies we have, we cannot fill the screens of the theaters. Under such circumstances,  We can't keep the newly renovated movie screen locked, right? That's not a waste. If you want to completely capture this market and leave no room for it, there is only one way for you, Uncle Liu, then.  It is to expand your film production capacity as quickly as possible, but this will be very risky for you. You may make more money, but you will also be at greater risk of losing money.  We have fallen into an era of blind expansion, so you must allocate less than half of your screening capacity to other film companies. In this way, you are actually passing on your risks to other film companies. You do not need to blindly expand production capacity to avoid risks.  If there is a big loss, you can still make more money from the United Cinemas, so why not do it? As for the impact on the film company you have, it is actually even more meaningless.  After the establishment of the line, it will originally affect the position of the film company in your hands. This problem should not be shouldered by the outside world, but depends on you. If the company is doing well, why should you be afraid of challenges from others?  If we do a good job, even if no one else challenges us, and the market eventually slumps, we will be the unlucky ones. To put it bluntly, the quality of a film company is determined by its success.Let the movie itself speak for itself, and other things are simply not enough to affect this issue.  After the establishment of United Cinemas, the biggest difference from before is actually that one is a monopolized market and the other is an open market.  "
