Chapter 192 Thinking
Li Hao stayed at the Peninsula Hotel that night.

After taking a shower, Li Hao lay on the bed.

He narrowed his eyes slightly.

In Xiangjiang, Golden Harvest Cinemas has a market share of about 15%, which is not as good as that of Broadway Cinemas and UA Cinemas of Lap Kee Group, and the equipment is relatively old, without a single IMAX screen.

But Li Hao also didn't want to acquire other departments, or rebuild theaters in Xiangjiang.

Because the land price here is too high, the rent is too high!

The monthly rent of a movie theater in Times Square in Hong Kong is now 2500 million Hong Kong dollars, and this is just the rent. Whoever can afford it, opening a movie theater is throwing money out.

The monthly rent of a movie theater is 2500 million Hong Kong dollars, which is 3 million Hong Kong dollars a year, but you must know that the total box office of the Hong Kong market is only 19.86 billion Hong Kong dollars, 200 screens, and 40 theaters!
If they all follow the high rent, the theater chain will not only lose money, but even lose money.

It is said that Hong Kong films are weak, and they are looking for reasons.

In fact, in Li Hao's view, an important reason for the decline of Hong Kong films is that star salaries are too high, the market is shrinking, and theater rents are too expensive to update equipment to improve the environment.

The total box office of the Hong Kong film market last year was 19.86 billion Hong Kong dollars. That does not mean that all of them belong to Hong Kong films. Most of them are Hollywood movies. Hollywood films account for more than 60% of the Hong Kong film market!

In other words, for Hong Kong films, it is about five or six billion Hong Kong dollars a year!

Li Hao won Golden Harvest Cinemas, in order to extend its tentacles to Xiangjiang, Baodao, Singapore and other places.

And in the mainland market, every good schedule has a high-quality film produced by Haotian Media, sniping Xiangjiang Films, and at the same time put the film in Xiangjiang Films to hit the box office of Xiangjiang Films.

Xiangjiang Films, most of the profit points are in the mainland, not in Xiangjiang.

In Xiangjiang, no matter how good the sales are, the cost of filming cannot be recovered.

Once the mainland cannot open the market, then Xiangjiang Films will inevitably decline further.

Slowly grinding, coupled with the reorganization of Golden Harvest Cinemas, the space for Xiangjiang Films will be further squeezed.

Sooner or later, all the stubborn people will be able to grind to death.

Just like "Macao Wind and Cloud 3" this time, Xiangjiang's side predicted that it could get [-] to [-] million box office, but now it is greatly discounted.

And this kind of phenomenon will definitely not happen only once, but will continue to be staged, and it will continue to grind until it collapses and yields.

If the older generation is proud, then support and win over the new generation.

The older generation has experienced the golden age of Xiangjiang movies, and will miss the golden age, with a kind of arrogance in their hearts.

But the new generation does not!

To be honest, compared to Nanyang, Li Hao prefers the Japanese and Korean film markets.

The Japanese film market has long been the second largest market in the world. Even if it is surpassed by the Chinese film market, the Japanese film market still has a scale of 121 billion yuan, which is much larger than the entire Nanyang film market combined.

And in such a big market, overseas movies can often account for almost 50% of the box office, which is 60 billion yuan!

"The Martian", "Nine Cauldrons" series, and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series of films all sold quite well in Japan.

But this time, "Chotsu Lake: Minato Bridge" sold well in the Japanese film market, and the DVD of "Chotsu Lake" also sold quite well in Japan.

However, the Japanese film market is fixed, and it is difficult to re-establish theaters.

In the Korean film market, the number of movie viewers has exceeded 2 million for two consecutive years, which is almost 90 billion yuan!However, the Korean film market is very repulsive to outsiders.

Before, Haotian Media's films were still selling well, but "Changjin Lake" had a pitifully small number of films. That's it, it was opposed by all kinds of people after two days of its release!

So, don't talk about democracy and freedom!

As for setting up theater chains in South Korea, there is no need to even think about it!
It is precisely because of this that Li Hao took Nanyang as a breakthrough point to carry out deep cultivation.

As for Treasure Island, it is quite pleasant to cooperate with filmmakers in Treasure Island now, and it should not be a problem in the short term.

The box office of "Watergate Bridge" remains high.

There are all kinds of discussions and evaluations about movies on the Internet.

Basically, it's all praises. For general commercial films, you can talk about the artistry and belittle commercial films from this aspect.

Of course, "Shuimen Bridge" can't be liked by everyone, even the RMB can't do it, let alone "Shuimen Bridge", so there are still some belittlings.

But the opponent has no hope of getting back the situation, and he is too lazy to spend money to hire the navy to go black, so the Douban score has reached a high score of 9.0 points.

Professional film critics from all walks of life, one after another and their professional film reviews, have analyzed the film from various angles such as human nature, war, historical authenticity, and meaning.

On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Hao and the others were in Jinling.

At this time, the box office statistics for the seven days from the first day to the eighth day were also released.

"Shuimen Bridge" won 35.89 billion this week, with an average daily box office of 5.127 million. The cumulative box office of "Shuimen Bridge" reached 41.21 billion yuan!

After the weekly box office statistics came out, it was natural that some reports would be unavoidable.

On the eighth day of the lunar new year, Li Hao brought everyone to the Jinling Roadshow.

At the movie theater, a young man with glasses questioned: "Director Li, the Volunteer Army won by relying on crowd tactics. So many people died, it is not honorable at all, but in the movie you filmed the Volunteer Army as inexplicably strong, with equal strength, you dared to attack the U.S. army head-on, and even wiped out the enemy. Don't you think this is self-deception?"

Li Hao looked at the young man with glasses strangely.

In the past, the tactics of the sea of ​​​​people was a common saying for the volunteer army. The victory piled up with human lives, coupled with the fact that many media and public figures also said the same, over time, it became a recognized fact.

Even at that time, there was an outrageous saying that the U.S. military was fully capable of destroying the volunteer army's human sea tactics in one fell swoop, but killing too many lives violated Yingjiang's concept of respecting life.

Afraid of killing too many lives, then come to fight?
While saying that Xiang is unpalatable, swallowing it with big mouthfuls?

The reason why Li Hao looked at the young man with glasses strangely was because when "Changjin Lake" was released, it caused a heated discussion. After a few months of quarreling, the truth became clearer and clearer in the end.

Now everyone knows that it is because of the Volunteer Army's three-three infantry tactics, which give people the feeling of being surrounded by mountains and plains, with a sea of ​​people.

During the debate, everyone knew that at that time, the ancestors had hammered seventeen halls in that battle, and the so-called Jingrui Battalion and Elite Brigade were defeated in one blow.

Ying Jiang, who fought invincible all over the world, became the most unspeakable scar in that battle. Changing the commander-in-chief three times is disgraceful no matter what!
As for that time, Bangzi's army was even worse!

He didn't expect that this young man with glasses would be so ignorant.

Things that had been hammered for half a year before were actually brought up at this time.

Li Hao sighed in his heart. In terms of public opinion, there is still a lot to do.
