Although this day is April Fool's Day in the West, Li Guangyu still received good news that made him excited. This is no joke.
Shortly after Li Guangyu's afternoon CEO meeting ended, Jiayi Group Vice President of Finance Ye Jiexin came to his office and reported to him the results of the discussions between the Hong Kong Film and Television Association and the mainland.
Before she sat down, she said excitedly to Li Guangyu: "Li Sheng, Mr. Wu Siyuan just called. The mainland has agreed to release our film in the mainland. The box office will be layered on top of it, adopting a three-seven model. We will have three mainlands and seven, and we will also
It is agreed that our Xiangjiang Cinema Line will build cinemas in Pengcheng and Shanghai, and our cinemas will pay 25% of the box office tax."
Such a tax is still relatively high for Xiangjiang Cinemas, but being able to enter the mainland market is a huge victory, and Jessica Ye is quite satisfied with this.
What is most exciting to her is to build her own cinema. For some reasons, she trusts the box office data of her own cinema more than she feels comfortable handing it over to others, and it is very difficult for them in the Mainland to have a clear understanding of the box office.
Hearing the news, Li Guangyu also dispelled the unhappiness in his heart today. As long as he takes one step in, future development will be much easier. He believes that in this life, his Jiayi Group will take the lead in entering and contact the mainland early. Xiangjiang
Films will never repeat the mistakes of the past. With the support of the mainland market, the glory of Hong Kong's film industry will surely continue.
Li Guangyu said: "Tang Zaichuan is not familiar with the group's affairs at the moment. You need to cooperate more with his work. Vice President Wu Junwu will be responsible for the construction of cinemas in the mainland. Four cinemas will be built in Pengcheng for the time being and 6 cinemas will be built in Shanghai. More cinemas will be built in the future.
If the difficult situation continues to increase, we will have to own our own stores in mainland theaters."
Regarding the issue of the store, even if Li Guangyu didn’t say anything, Ye Jiexin would also buy it. This has become a common practice among the major groups of the Li Group. Although the initial expenditure is large, it can reduce operating costs for major groups, and at the same time store
It will also continue to increase in value.
Although the Jiayi cinema chain can only enter two cities at present, Ye Jiexin is full of confidence in the mainland market. He believes that it will not be long before Jiayi cinemas will be present in all the major open cities in the mainland, forming a huge cinema chain in the mainland. In the future, the mainland's first
A private cinema will be their highlight.
Ye Jiexin said: "Li Sheng, please rest assured that I will definitely cooperate with Tang Sheng's work, and I will also pay attention to the development of our group in the mainland. I will select five movies that meet the requirements of the mainland from our excellent Jiayi movies.
Let’s go through the review and see if these movies can bring us some benefits.”
Jiayi Group's film production has been very large in recent years. From 1979 to the present, a total of more than 200 movies have been filmed and released. Currently, among the top ten movies in Hong Kong box office, Jiayi has four films, New City has three films, and Jiahe has one.
Two films, one owned by Asia Film Company.
However, Jiayi's more famous "God of Gamblers" and "A Better Tomorrow" probably could not pass the review. After all, during this period, some ideas were relatively conservative and cautious in many aspects.
Li Guangyu said: "You have to pay attention to this aspect and choose some movies that are more in line with the current market and requirements of the mainland. Only in this way can our movies enter the mainland. Our film company must also keep pace with the times and set up a special film company."
The department studies the needs of the mainland market and shoots some films that are in line with the preferences of mainland citizens and government policies."
"Li Sheng, our film company will become the Shanghai branch of Jiayi Films in Shanghai. In the future, our Shanghai company will mainly shoot movies that meet the requirements of the mainland and focus on the mainland market. At the same time, we will film through Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Vancouver
Branch offices in several places will cooperate to produce some videos that can be popular in many places."
Nowadays, the major companies under Jiayi Group are very powerful, and each company has branches in many places. This also makes these companies under Jiayi Group have the same status as independent companies, which is extremely rare in the Li Group.
.
At present, only Xiangyu Culture Group is similar to them. The other major companies are Xingyu Game Group Design Company, Tianyu Financial Group Investment Company, Xiangjiang Bank, Hengyu Supermarket Group, and several major companies under the Hengyu Supermarket Group. In addition, Xiangjiang Airlines, and others
Companies under dozens of groups are ranked second level, and their status and treatment are far from comparable to these companies.
However, Jessica Ye also knows that with the continuous development of major groups, more group companies will be at the same level as independent companies in the future. As these companies continue to develop, they will naturally have to improve their autonomy and treatment.
For example, the mobile phone company, computer company and software company under the Phoenix Group, the telephone company and mobile communication company under the Heung Kong Communications Group, and the beverage company under the Nanhua Food and Beverage Group.
Normally, these companies are managed by ten levels of management, but the current people in charge are all vice presidents, which shows that Li Guangyu and the executive team attach great importance to these companies.
Ye Jiexin also knew that Jiayi Group's status within the Li Group was high, but not high.
Because Li Guangyu needs the media to enhance the influence of the Li Group, Jiayi Group and Xiangyu Culture Group are what the Li Group needs to protect. Even if their profits are low, they are not worried that the Li Group will give up this industry.
.
However, due to the group's profitability problem, their Jiayi Group has always been regarded as the last group of the Li Group. Every time the year-end profit rankings are summarized, their Jiayi Group is ranked at the bottom, which is better than Xinghong Sports Group and Kowloon Group.
At a point, you can’t even see the tail of Hengyu Supermarket Group.
Ye Jiexin also hopes that the mainland market can be completely opened this time, so that their group's profits can increase a lot. She is very clear about Li Guangyu's emphasis on the mainland market. She believes that Jiayi Group's increased influence in the mainland will enable Jiayi
The group is taken more seriously by Li Guangyu, so that senior executives like them have the opportunity to be promoted.
Li Guangyu doesn't know Ye Jiexin's thoughts at the moment. Li Guangyu doesn't have high expectations for how much box office the film will get when it is released in the mainland. Anyway, these movies are just being played in the movie library. It is better to take them out to make some money in the mainland. At the same time,
Expand Jiayi Group’s influence in the mainland.
As for filming movies that meet the needs of the mainland market, it is more to prepare for the opening of Jiayi Cinema in the mainland. Even if the market is only in these two cities, the future prospects are very good.
As reform and opening up continues to deepen, there will be no problem that the population of these two cities exceeds that of Xiangjiang. By then, the box office market of these two cities will be equivalent to two Xiangjiangs. This is already a very huge market. Many countries do not have such a market.
The two cities have large populations.
As the mainland's economy continues to develop, the largest movie ticket office in the future will definitely be in the mainland. The earlier Jiayi Group enters, the more beneficial it will be to Jiayi Group's future development.
Li Guangyu said: "In this regard, you need to do a good job in overall planning and coordination, and at the same time, you need to communicate more with the mainland to strive for our cinemas to enter more cities. The hope for the future development of Jiayi Group lies in the mainland. Only by seizing the mainland market can Jiayi Group
Only the Art Group has the ability to compete with the major film companies in the United States."
