Li Mingbao was talking to himself there, but he frightened Lao Li who was listening to Li Mingbao's words. At first, he thought that the theater chain was the bulk of Li Mingbao's investment, but he never thought that the theater chain was not the big investment. The real big head was the film and television city, which he thought he could not spend a lot of money on before. If we really follow Li Mingbao's idea, this film and television city will really become a city. From the buildings of Xia, Shang and Zhou Dynasties to the buildings of Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, this span of history is three to four thousand years. Come out, the scale of this film and television city is quite large. And there are not many people who can understand the architecture and style of that era. By this time, money is not the most important thing, but those who understand knowledge are the most important. With so many dynasties, coupled with the layout and scale, Lao Li feels that Li Mingbao¡¯s idea is a bit too arrogant. He even has an archaeologist in a film and television city. What on earth do you want to play? Besides, the money spent on such a thing is absolutely astronomical. Once it is built, how to get the money back is a big problem. In addition, whether Li Mingbao has so much money is still a question. At this time, Lao Li felt that what Li Mingbao just said was deceiving. Otherwise, why would he think this matter is unreliable? "Boss Li, your plan is indeed grand, but I don't think it's very realistic. It's okay for theater chains, at least it can see the profit expectations. But the movie city you built is more troublesome to make profits. As you said, it will cost so much money and take so long. Regardless of whether Mr. Li has the financial resources to support such a project, even if Mr. Li has the financial resources to support this project, what will happen to this project? What about making money? Even if you can make money, the profit rate is definitely not that high. It is better to invest in other projects to make money. Mr. Li, is this just for the sake of making money? Spend money for money?" Lao Li's words were a bit unkind. The mainland does welcome foreign investment, but you always have to make people understand this investment, right? In recent years, the mainland government is quite kind to foreign businessmen. What industry do you want to invest in and how can you make money in this industry? To be honest, the mainland may pay more attention to it than the investment bosses themselves. Some make money not so easily. In the industry, mainland China does not recommend foreign investment, just for advertising, not to mention that one year will pay back the capital and three years will make a lot of money. At least the return rate of investment projects in mainland China is higher than that of most countries and regions. , Only in this way can it appear that mainland China's work is fruitful. For investments like Li Mingbao's, Lao Li can't see the profit anyway. If you have changed ten years, the one billion dollar industry projects, you will invest where you want to invest where you want to invest, and the mainland that makes money does not make money so much. Anyway, you can leave the money on the mainland. But these days, mainland China is really considering whether places where foreign investment can make money. Just like Li Mingbao's industry, if you invest in other places, the mainland will also provide some relevant discounts to make the project's profits look considerable. In that case, there will be an explanation of how much, but for places like the Film and Television City, the investment scale reaches hundreds of billions. US dollars, for such a project, even if the mainland wanted to help, it would not be able to help, because with so much money, the only way to help is to invest in the film industry. If the film industry suddenly becomes a focus because of Li Mingbao's investment project, it is also a big challenge for the mainland's development plan. After all, the mainland has no intention of vigorously supporting the film industry these days. This is completely unnecessary. In addition, the film industry exists to make money. When will the higher-level departments allocate more special funds to the departments that make money? Isn't this bullshit? Lao Li¡¯s tone was not very good, but Li Mingbao understood very well that Lao Li said this just for his consideration. After all, the investment scale of this film and television city is over one billion US dollars. It will not be able to recoup the cost for 20 to 30 years, and it needs to be maintained every year. After all, this deal is really not a good deal. But the problem is that if this film and television city project is to be done well, it is not just a matter of actual profitability. What is more important is the channels through which this project will be obtained, just like Uncle Liu¡¯s wireless TV station. Of course things make more money, but how could Uncle Liu's current position be achieved with so little money? It¡¯s not just because TVB has a special status, so although Uncle Liu is not among the richest people in Hong Kong, his status in Hong Kong is similar to those of those people. The reason is that TVB¡¯s in a special position. Similarly, the film and television city may be able to make money back, at least in ten years, but this thing is not only related to money, but also related to the status of the entire film industry, and the construction of the film and television city is getting better and better. Big?Then the status that Li Mingbao will gain will be higher. If the characteristic buildings from all over the world can be seen and found in Li Mingbao's film and television city, then in the future, directors around the world who want to film will think of the first film and television city. It will always be Li Mingbao's film and television city. In this way, Li Mingbao will have a pivotal position in the global film industry. At that time, the industry in the United States did not need others to help guard it. Even if it was placed there, There will not be many people who touch Li Mingbao's industry without opening their eyes, because doing so is purely making themselves uncomfortable. Therefore, this film and television city is not only related to actual profitability, but also related to the safety of Li Mingbao's industry. . With so many contacts, Li Mingbao really couldn't explain it to Lao Li for a while, but he knew that if Lao Li couldn't be persuaded here, then the people above would also not agree to Li Mingbao's investment. After all, in these years, There are relatively few investors in the mainland, and the scale is relatively small. If Li Mingbao's current investments are successfully negotiated, it may become the most eye-catching project among the mainland's public cooperation projects with companies. Such a project is definitely eye-catching from the beginning, and outsiders will also calculate how much profit it will make. If the profit does not reach other people's bottom line, it may make many people give up investing in mainland China. , then the impact would be great. To be honest, it would be impossible not to tell Li Mingbao his plans to Lao Li at this time. But if he told Lao Li, he couldn't explain it very clearly. He certainly couldn't tell all his plans, but part of his plans could not be told clearly. It can be said that after all, Li Mingbao's plan is not only related to the mainland, but also related to many foreign regions and the entire world's film industry structure. In that case, it is difficult to say now. "Old Li, you understand, and I understand, about the theater project. This thing does not need to be explained. The film and television city project, in my plan, is actually an industry related to many things. Since Old Li If you want to ask, I will reveal something. Regarding this, the mainland needs to keep it a little more secret. I don¡¯t want to create a film and television city and make it known to the whole world. It will be really difficult for me to invest in film and television. I can 100% make the money in the city by myself. To be honest, the property I have now is not much at all, but I have a lot of cash. To put it bluntly, I am poor. There is only money left. And this money is still growing every year, and the growth rate is quite large. In other places, whether it is Hong Kong or the United States, there are not many projects. I spend my money, and this film and television city project exactly meets this condition. First, the cost of this project is relatively large, and the time is also relatively long. It is a pretty good consumption of cash on my hand. Choice. Second, this film and television city project is also very important for the voice of the entire film industry. No matter who builds the film and television city, their purpose will not be purely to make money, just like Uncle Liu in Hong Kong. Like the Shaw Brothers studios, to be honest, the Shaw Brothers studios don't make much money, and sometimes they even lose money. But for a stingy person like Uncle Liu, doesn't he still maintain his own Shaw Brothers studios? In many cases, projects in the city are not simply about money, but are an important bargaining chip. Perhaps the mainland does not care so much about the scenery. After all, the mainland is a vast country, and in reality, it doesn¡¯t matter what kind of scenery it is. Basically, you can find the corresponding place, and you don¡¯t need to worry about this issue. But in other places, especially places like Hong Kong, it is really difficult to deal with the scene, as long as you have watched TVB. In those TV series, you can easily see some sets that can be seen through at a glance. This is not to say that Uncle Six just made some random sets to save money. Of course, there are some reasons, but the main reason is still. , Hong Kong doesn¡¯t have much scenery to offer at all, so you need to create some scenes by yourself. Of course, the scenes created in a hurry cannot satisfy others, but there is really no way, because the original Hong Kong There is no such place. Even people like Uncle Six, who owns a studio, are unable to make a living without rice, let alone other people. But even so, Uncle Six is ??in the Hong Kong film industry because he owns a studio. The right to speak is also quite important. From the outside, it seems that Uncle Liu has a lot of say because he had a theater chain before. But from the perspective of our insiders, Uncle Liu has a theater chain. Another aspect is that Uncle Six owns a unique studio in Hong Kong, which is the film and television city I want to build. This is the key thing. Therefore, the film and television city industry is not just viewed in terms of whether it makes money or not. It is necessary to see the influence of the film and television city on the film industry. ?After all, not every country is like the mainland, which lacks everything, but some defects are inherently difficult to make up for. Therefore, film and television cities are indispensable to the world's film industry. "At this point, Li Mingbao shut his mouth. I believe that Lao Li will be able to understand this explanation quite well.
