Li Mingbao's words added fuel to the fire in Sixth Uncle and the others' hearts. Even the current shares of United Cinemas are quite valuable. United Cinemas, which unified the entire Hong Kong cinema market, was initially valued at HK$1 billion. Moreover, the Xiang brothers agreed with this valuation, and overseas film producers also paid for it. Although at the time, the value of one billion Hong Kong dollars was still somewhat exaggerated, partly due to the Xiang brothers¡¯ eagerness to enter the industry and the reason why overseas film producers coveted the Hong Kong film market, in any case, in At the moment when United Cinemas was established, the value of United Cinemas had reached one billion Hong Kong dollars. ¡° And with the completion of the renovation of the United Cinemas, this value will increase by one dollar. If the screening system of the United Cinemas is added, then the total value of the United Cinemas estimated by the outside world is not much, 3 billion Hong Kong dollars. Although the money is not really in his hands, it is worth so much after all, and his background is very strong. In Li Mingbao's previous thoughts, the final value of the United Cinemas may reach tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. It would take a time when Hong Kong films are most prosperous for external valuations to be so high. But once Hong Kong films decline, such valuations will It is easy to plunge because the local market in Hong Kong cannot support such a huge industry scale. Unless it is something purely financial and does not require too much local manpower and material resources, otherwise, other industries in Hong Kong will How much will be greatly restricted, that is, a limited number of industries may be able to exceed the scale of tens of billions of Hong Kong dollars. Ordinary industries cannot reach that level in terms of total volume. But if the development direction of United Cinemas is the entire East Asia, then even if United Cinemas does not have any overseas cinemas and theater chains, relying solely on its circulation capabilities, it is certain that it is worth tens of billions, and it will not make outsiders think Falsely high, the theoretical value of a movie theater chain that circulates throughout the East Asian market is definitely much higher than the actual value, and even strategic value will appear. ?Things like strategic value are difficult to reflect in general industries. Even if the United Cinemas controlled the local market in Hong Kong before, the strategic value was not very high, because Hong Kong is too weak. No matter how obvious the geographical advantage is, it cannot cover all industries. Things with a very narrow circle like movies can only With a local population of several million, no one would agree with its strategic value. But now if Hong Kong movies are to be built into a circulation port for the entire East Asia, then the Hong Kong local market has actually become a symbol, rather than the narrow Hong Kong market in the actual sense. If you want to calculate the value of the joint cinema chain, you must Take the entire East Asian market into account. No one can calculate the amount of increase here, because the value is too huge. You know, the box office results in Southeast Asia are just that, but in some special regions, their box office results are really high. The Four Asian Tigers are now in an active era. Hong Kong occupies one of the positions. Other places, such as Japan, need funds and people. They basically have no shortage of everything. They were even close to becoming the first place. As for the position of the economy, when it comes to money, I am really not short of money. Although South Korea has a smaller population, its box office performance can now be considered to be better than that of Hong Kong. It is definitely not a joke to be the second largest box office in East Asia. As for Hong Kong, although its local box office results are very good, it can only be ranked third. Afterwards, places like Taiwan and Singapore also have very satisfactory box office results. Even in Southeast Asia, their box office performance was better than that of later generations, so this year was the happiest year for the box office. There were so many benefits that it was difficult for Uncle Six and the others to calculate how much benefit they could get from this circulation port. At this time, Uncle Six had simply forgotten that he was not willing to participate in Li Mingbao's plan before. If Li Mingbao behaves this way, the money he earns from the film industry may be even more exaggerated than the money he earns from TVB, and it can become his first financial fulcrum. Even Uncle Liu has some regrets now. If he had decisively captured Zou Wenhuai instead of distracting himself from the TV station, maybe Li Mingbao's plan would become his plan now, and the rewards he would bring to him would definitely be no worse than those of the TV station. And with so many cinemas, even if his movies fail, he can earn countless Hong Kong dollars just from the cinema business. Of course, Uncle Six was just thinking about the prospects. There is no regret medicine in this world, and even if there were regret medicine, Uncle Liu would not have such high achievements after taking it. It is very simple. Uncle Liu is not Li Mingbao. He does not come up with such wild and creative ideas as Li Mingbao, so he follows Li Mingbao honestly. Making money is the best choice. "Li Sheng, I still need more ideas from you regarding Hong Kong movies in the future. We guys are all old and have rigid ideas. Some of us can't keep up."Nowadays, if the Hong Kong film industry is helmed by young people like you, perhaps greater glory in the future will be normal. Uncle Six, one of the most correct decisions I have made in my life is to support Li Sheng in your entry into the film industry. With you in the film industry, the world of Hong Kong will become more exciting. "Such uncle Liu's words basically mean that he follows Li Mingbao's lead in the film industry. Even the struggle for power and profit in the theater chain, Uncle Liu does not intend to continue. Including his management in the theater, At this time, Uncle Liu didn't want to continue to support him because he knew that his vision was completely different from Li Mingbao's. If he opposed Li Mingbao on management issues, it would be equivalent to throwing away the money he could have obtained. Entering the sea is something that Uncle Liu, who is obsessed with making money, is absolutely not allowed to happen. Even when necessary, Uncle Liu doesn't mind killing Ma Su with tears, so that he may still get something. Li Mingbao is more fond of him. If anything good happens in the future, he will immediately think of his sixth uncle and express his loyalty. The other people are not slow in their actions, even people with strong controlling desires like Zou Wenhuai and Lei Juekun. , on this point, at least on the issue of United Cinemas, they all support Li Mingbao's actions because they know that these unbridled ideas are beyond their control. Since they can't play high-end things, they can make money with high-end people. , is also a good idea. Of course, Li Mingbao¡¯s proposal of Hong Kong is not entirely without disadvantages. At least it is a relatively uncomfortable decision for local filmmakers in Hong Kong. Entering Hong Kong, the competitive pressure of Hong Kong's local film industry has also increased a lot. If local filmmakers don't work hard enough, they will have only one end, and that is to be completely defeated by outsiders and become lax. Individuals, not consortia, just like in the future after the Hong Kong film industry is shattered, although there are many powerful people who will live better than before, people like Wu Xing are also a very popular group in Hollywood. Those Celebrities can do quite well by relying on the mainland. But such good performance is not actually the performance of Hong Kong films, but the brilliance of those individuals. The Hong Kong film industry has no improvement at all, so the industry's influence is. It is getting worse every year. For Uncle Liu and others, whether the Hong Kong film industry develops does not have a great impact on them, because after the establishment of the Hong Kong Distribution Port, each of them can immediately learn from the Hong Kong film bosses. Regardless of their identities, as long as they still have shares in United Cinemas, they can no longer be regarded as Hong Kong movie bosses in a pure sense, but can be regarded as the most influential movie bosses in the entire East Asia. At that time, no matter Uncle Liu. Still Zou Wenhuai, Lei Juekun or the Xiang brothers, including Li Mingbao himself, their identities will be quite aloof. They will not suffer too much from the decline of Hong Kong local films. As long as the joint cinema chain can run well, it is not made by Hong Kong people. Don¡¯t the movies of Hong Kong¡¯s local filmmakers also make money? When the movies of Hong Kong local filmmakers prosper, they can also benefit and have a basis for advancing and retreating. They can¡¯t lose anyway. Therefore, the prosperity and decline of local movies have nothing to do with these bosses. If Hong Kong people can¡¯t use direct relationships, why can¡¯t we use foreigners? As long as the concept of Hong Kong's circulation port does not collapse, they will not be in any danger, and they will even guard their own one-third of an acre of land than before. It is a completely different concept. The kindness of Uncle Liu and the others is what Li Mingbao needs most urgently now. After all, whether the concept of a circulation port can be fully realized does not depend on others, but depends on whether he can truly control the United Cinemas. Now Uncle Liu and the others have decided The full management of the business is completely left to him. As the engine of the circulation port, United Cinemas will not have any problems. All developments will follow his own wishes. This simply removes any obstacles for Li Mingbao and allows him to You can reach the end point directly. To reciprocate the favor, Li Mingbao naturally wanted to reveal more concepts, at least to point out the additional benefits that everyone can get after establishing the circulation port. "In fact, making money from shares is just a one-time deal. For everyone sitting here, the living money on hand is not of much help. In fact, United Cinemas has more areas that can be used, such as selling box offices? For For those movies that are determined to be released in joint theaters and achieve good sales results, we can also provide some considerate services and artificially increase the box office of some movies on the basis that it is not a big problem, such as The difference in sales price between a box office of HK$29 million and a box office of a little over 30 million is not even a tiny bit. Of course, we can¡¯t go too far in this regard and it¡¯s easy to ruin the brand.p; The operating space for commercial films is not very large, but for literary and artistic films, the operating space is very optimistic. Especially for those literary and artistic films that are aspiring to win awards, wouldn't it be much better if the companies behind them were willing to spend money and achieve both box office and artistic harvests? At this point, we have a lot of room for maneuver. After all, compared to commercial movies, if the box office increases by one or two million, there won't be much profit. But for literary and artistic films, if the box office increases by one to two million, the gap is quite obvious. "Li Mingbao said with a smirk.
