The concerns of lighting engineers reflect the cruelest side of this real society!

Ordinary people are never the opponent of capital.

The larger the capital scale, the more unstoppable the power will naturally be.

For Lin Ping, when capital is promoting something and when capital leads reform, many traditional industries will face crises.

E-commerce has changed the shopping habits of too many people, resulting in poor business in many physical stores.

The takeaway business has impacted many fast food and quick-frozen foods.

Even ordinary snacks have suffered a certain impact.

While people enjoy modern life, few people care about the crisis that traditional industries have suffered.

“If you can pay your salary on time, it will naturally be good.

If you are afraid, you will be afraid. Then we will not even have a place to receive our salary.

An editor like me just had an edited work.

Before, I always had some minor work.

The company never asked me to edit a movie.

Judging from my qualifications, if Lin Ping’s film company had definitely not sent an invitation to join their company.

There are so many movies released every year in Harbor City, and so many people have rich experience.

If I were the boss, I would have chosen these experienced old people." At this point, the man looked very depressed at the glass of wine.

"What are you afraid of? The art of movies does not represent everything with money.

TVB and Shaw Pictures are rich enough, right? But what is the ending now?

In Harbor City, Shaw Pictures' films are becoming increasingly unpopular.

Moreover, Shaw Brothers has become increasingly cautious, and often he is unwilling to invest in dramas other than martial arts films.

Because of martial arts movies, they have a stable sales channel, from the composition of scripts to the selection of actors, and the structure of the entire team.

With Shaw Pictures' current assembly line operation ability, it took less than a month to start writing scripts from a piece of blank paper until the movie was edited and packaged hairstyles were completed.

This means that Shaw Pictures can produce and release in large quantities every year.

Although traditional martial arts movies will not have big box office revenues, each movie that invests 200,000 to 300,000 can bring Shaw Pictures one or two million, or even two or three million.

Although the box office of martial arts films compared with the current box office rankings of Hong Kong City, I am afraid that even the top 50 are not included. However, Shaw Brothers Hospital is interested in the ability to make money.

It is precisely because of the excessive emphasis on conservatism that Shaw Pictures was completely replaced by other Hong Kong City film companies.

From this point of view, we can analyze whether a company has money is not a decisive role, at least in the film industry.

Rich companies can indeed hire the biggest stars and the best screenwriters and directors. But it does not mean that these crews composed of super big brands will definitely get big box offices.

Taking Hollywood as an example, many big brands form super luxury teams every year.

However, it is rare for these teams to truly stabilize the box office first place in the annual list.

In contrast, those companies with no money, some not-famous actors and a director with little reputation, finally had a script written by an unknown screenwriter.

However, such a combination can frequently win impressive box office records in the dark horse's manner." An editor, although he is also worried that capital tycoons will disrupt the market, after watching so many movies, he understands a very simple truth.

When consumers buy tickets to enter the theater, they will not deliberately choose movies produced by a certain film company.

At the same time, not a big star can inform all viewers.

No matter how big a celebrity is, people are extremely disgusted.

Looking around the world, no big star can guarantee that as long as he starred in the movie, he will definitely sell at the box office.

No one dares to make such a guarantee. Well-known directors dare not, well-known actors dare not, well-known screenwriters dare not.

Since so many big names dare not, it proves that capital cannot achieve 100% success.

If you have money, you will definitely succeed. I am afraid that the entertainment industry will not have so many small companies.

"You are all wrong. You just saw the very superficial side. The real terrible capital, you didn't even touch the tip of the iceberg!

Lin Ping’s current capital scale does not need to reduce his own value to fight these small and medium-sized companies.

Do you really think Lin Ping set up a film company to compete with these small companies?

Even if Lin Ping set up a film company, this kind of competition is far from what you imagined!

Don’t forget that Lin Ping has another identity, a real estate tycoon!

After a film company makes a movie, whether it can make money does not necessarily depend on the quality of the movie.

In the end, it depends on the movie's listing channel, that is, how many cinemas are screening.

Think about it, if Lin Ping bought all the cinemas in Hong Kong.

If someone else's movies want to be released, should I go to Linping Company to negotiate cooperation?

If Lin Ping’s own company movie is released at this time, how much do you think he will give his opponent a film scheduling ratio?

Even if the movies he made were bad and accounted for 50% of the film schedule, the box office would not be much worse.

No matter how good the film is, all the screenings will be arranged at non-rest hours.

Either before 10 a.m., or after 3 or 4 p.m., or after 10 a.m.!

How could a large number of spectators enter the venue at such a time?

How can you earn a high box office without a large number of viewers entering the movie?

For rich people, they don’t need to go into a fight with you in person.

Instead, just stuck your neck in certain key areas.

Although Lin Ping may not be able to buy all of these cinemas, what if Lin Ping chooses to launch a price war?

Nowadays, a movie ticket is generally three levels: ten, fifteen, twenty.

If you choose to launch a price war, you can directly get a movie ticket for five yuan.

One or two months, three or four months, maybe nothing can be seen.

But once the time goes by one or two years, the cinemas will always cost five yuan per ticket.

How could other cinemas still have to keep it for more than fifteen yuan?

And don’t forget that if Lin Ping really wants to acquire a large number of cinemas.

Then the film company will definitely show it in Lin Ping's cinema.

At that time, a very strange phenomenon will occur. It is obviously the same movie, but only one ticket is sold in Linping's cinema for five yuan.

But when you go to other companies' cinemas, it sells for fifteen yuan. If you are a consumer of this movie, would you choose to have fifteen yuan per ticket or five yuan per ticket?

For capital tycoons like Lin Ping, even if they don’t make money, they will already win as long as they can barely maintain the balance between income and expenditure of the cinema.

As long as he drags down all the cinemas that he doesn't want to sell to him, he will monopolize the entire Hong Kong city alone and directly increase the movie tickets to twenty yuan.

On that day, who else can stop him?

It’s not that they set the price they want to set!” Someone finally said the point, the terribleness of capital is that they only want to play monopoly.

When many people think that the two film companies will play the good or bad scripts, the status of celebrities, and the popularity of directors.

The tricks that capital has come up with far exceeds that of ordinary people.

In order to gain a monopoly position, they will do whatever they want and even lose themselves to defeat their opponents.

Once the opponent falls down and burns the money, you will easily earn it back!

When it comes to monopolizing cinemas, whether it is a lighting engineer or an editor, the faces of the two instantly changed again and again!

The two just simply thought about the movie itself.

Even Hollywood blockbusters will fail as an example.

But I never thought that this small place in Hong Kong is indeed the best stage for monopoly.

The market in Hollywood is too large, and one or two theaters cannot control it.

If you want to open a chain theater all over the United States and want to acquire or drag down all other competitors, you will need at least tens of billions of dollars.

Moreover, even hundreds of billions of dollars still have a prerequisite.

That is, the competitors don’t resist, they just watch you take action.

Once competitors win over other investors, either resist or fight back.

Obviously, at this point, 10 billion US dollars is not enough to spend!

This is also why, in such a huge market in Hollywood and in such a prevalent market economy, why even the small business of cinemas has not emerged with a monopoly giant.

"If you heard you say this, our Hong Kong City film company will be waiting to die, because everyone can't compete with Lin Ping's wealth." Hearing this analysis, he naturally felt that the future was bleak.

"That's right, but it's just your guess.

Maybe they just want to invest a little money in the entertainment industry.
