Chapter 627 Are You Interested in Building Eastern Hollywood?

"I wonder how you see the future development of movies?" Li Zitao was not eager to talk about cooperation, but asked his views on the future development of movies.

"The development of the film and television industry in the future is bound to be chaotic. For Gang Jiang, an investment of 2,000 yuan can make a movie, and a few projectors can earn more than ten times the profit.

At the same time, it is also diverse. This kind of image that can be seen directly with the eyes and can still hear the sound cannot be replaced by books or pure sound.

However, the barriers to entry in this industry are very low, the competition is fierce, and the money is touching. If no one stands up to regulate the market, the competition in the future may become more intense. "

This is what Shao Liu felt. When he went to expand the theater this time, he was made things difficult by others.

The other party has six projectors in the local area, and I don’t know where they got the tapes. They found an open space and surrounded it with wood and cloth curtains. The business was so good that they counted the money every day.

I heard that a company was going to open a theater in the local area, so I gathered some helpers and surrounded them.

If he hadn't brought a few of his subordinates to stand in front of him, Shao Liu and his subordinates are already lying in Nanyang Hospital, where did this meeting come from!

The poorer the place, the harder it is to expand the market, because they won't tell you any rules or laws at all.

It doesn't matter what your identity or status is.

What he does first is his business, as long as you infringe his interests, he will fight with you, and even kill you.

However, Shao's current focus is on Nanyang. The Shaw Brothers have a lot of power in Nanyang.

"Low threshold is also good. It can make the market grow as soon as possible, and reshuffle the cards after a certain amount... Isn't that how Hollywood came about." Every industry will experience this situation. Before the birth of Hollywood, the film industry in North America was also good. where to go.

A movie worth 200 U.S. dollars can resell tens of hundreds of times the profit. Small companies like ant colonies are scattered all over the country, and as many as forty or fifty movies are born in cities every week.

Then they will divide the city into several points, which ones are placed in each point, and a ticket is 10 cents.

Wait until everyone gets tired of watching, then swap the videos, continue to play, and then a new video will be born.

At that time, people saw people, things, and objects moving and running on the screen, and doing many things, which was already a highlight for them.

It doesn't matter whether the story is good or not, a simple action can make people laugh from ear to ear.

But as all this is no longer novelty, people's aesthetic fatigue will naturally increase the requirements for the quality of the film. At this time, the quality of the film becomes the key.

Now, people need big productions that can resonate and bring a stronger visual impact.

Just like "Hell's Angels" filmed by Hughes, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the future that big companies see.

Big scene, big production, real, exciting!

Strive to detonate the hearts of every audience, ignite their blood, and let their emotions fluctuate with the fluctuations of the film.

"I heard that there are already color movies in the United States, Charlie, do you know?" Shao Liu said this, his eyes sparkled.

Color movies, the grand occasion and benefits after the introduction of the first sound movie, made Shao Liu clearly realize how big a sensation a new technology would bring.

"We'll talk about this later." Li Zitao changed the topic and said directly: "I am very optimistic about Shaw's development in Nanyang. Are you interested in establishing a new company in Gangjiang?"

"The Shaw Brothers are attacking the Nanyang market. I'm afraid they don't have that much energy." Although Shao Liu has developed in Gangjiang, his focus is still on the Nanyang market.

Gangjiang is more of a filming location. Shao Liu is actually a nostalgic and old-fashioned person, who pays attention to "old morals, old ethics, promotes Chinese culture, and avoids Europeanization." '

So he has been engaged in cultural output, and he will prove to be successful in the future. This is why he founded the Tianyi Port Factory and imported equipment to increase the amount of film production.

It is these layouts that will make Hong Kong films popular in Southeast Asia in the future. It is said that as long as Fa Ge and Hong Kong-produced gunfight films appeared in the midnight show, the audience would even stand and applaud. From this alone, we can see that the cultural output of Hong Kong films is in the How successful is Southeast Asia.

"Are you worried about celebrities and Yihua?" Li Zitao asked with a smile, "Or are you worried about the invasion of Western culture?"

Hearing Li Zitao express his concerns directly, Shao Liu no longer concealed them, and said calmly, "Yes, I have concerns in this regard, and I have already lost once in the competition with Xingxing and Yihua. I don't want to do it again any time soon."

Shao Liu smiled and focused the question on 'winning or losing', and mentioned the battle with Xingxing and Yihua in an open and frank manner, without pretending to hide it.

"Don't worry, I'm looking for you to cooperate because I like your idea. Don't you think creating an Oriental Hollywood in Gangjiang is a very successful thing?"

Hearing Li Zitao say "Oriental Hollywood," Shao Liu's expression was obviously taken aback. He thought that the other party wanted Shaw Brothers to become DreamWorks' overseas distributor.

"As for whether or not to import DreamWorks films, that's up to you. In terms of investment, I can spend $5 million, but I want to own 51% of the shares."

Li Zitao doesn't care about the company's management rights. What he wants is to make money. As long as he can make money, don't make small moves behind the scenes. It's all yours to manage the limelight.

"Aren't you afraid that I will run away with the money?" Seeing Li Zitao put the check on the table, Shao Liu looked at him playfully.

"Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" Li Zitao asked with his legs resting on the sofa.

Taking his money and running away, is the S.H.I.E.L.D. under him dead?

Li Zitao is talking about the rules now, playing according to the rules of the game, but if you don't follow the rules first, then we will behave in an unruly way.

With the current influence and strength of S.H.I.E.L.D., let alone Shao Liu, Li Zitao would have no problem supporting an armed government in Africa and Southeast Asia.

It's just that he doesn't want to do it, and it's not good for him.

Economic control is more stable and thorough than violence. Have you ever seen a big crocodile jump out and say that he wants to form a small country?

Whoever wants to do it really has a brain, and it is not good to hide behind to make money. You have to put yourself in a situation where everyone criticizes you, and expose yourself to everyone's noses.

Is this for fear that people will not know that you are rich?

To see what happens to people who are stupid and have too much money, take Dubai as an example where everyone will have to pick up rubbish in the future.

As soon as the country has some money, Laomei's sky-high planes and weapons will be delivered, and the chiefs have to happily buy them with money.

As for whether he cried and passed out in the toilet behind his back, it is up to everyone to use their imaginations.

Don't they know that the development of industry drives the economy?

It's not that people are stupid and don't know, but that someone behind the scenes doesn't allow it. As long as there is a slight sign here, all kinds of latest technologies will be sent.

The key is that you don't have any industrial foundation, even if you put it in front of you and ask you to study it, you will have to cry blind. Besides, the overseas troops stationed in the United States are not vegetarians.

The plane is yours, but the place where it is stored is controlled by the U.S. military. It is up to the U.S. military to decide whether it can be operated. Even the pilots are American...

"The plane is yours, really." America.
