Only a few film and television bases, such as Dongyang Film and Television City and Huairou Film and Television Base, have taken a different approach and achieved success.

In general, domestic film and television cultural bases are in a state of severe losses on a large scale. The overall market is mixed, with most lacking long-term planning and management, and profitability is low.

When Yang Ming saw this, he frowned tightly and couldn't help asking: "Are the domestic film and television bases really so unbearable?"

This data report is a survey and analysis report commissioned by my uncle specifically for him from a professional organization.

Ever since he had the idea of ​​building Oriental DreamWorks' own film and television base, he called his uncle and asked him to find someone to investigate the market situation. However, he did not expect that the conclusion drawn by this organization would be so severe that Yang Ming

Shocked.

You must know that China in this life is not the same as in the previous life.

If the development of the film and television industry fell behind due to economic problems in his previous life, he would not have any doubts.

But in today's world, it's a bit unbelievable.

In this world, China is not short of money!

"Mr. Yang, I'm afraid the facts are more serious than the conclusions of our investigation!"

One of the leading elites lowered his eyes and spoke seriously.

Yang Ming glanced at him and thought for a moment. Although he felt that the construction and development of modern film and television bases could not keep up with the pace of film development and was doubtful, he really did not expect that the domestic film and television bases would be so miserable.

Except for a few impressive film shooting bases, there are basically no famous film and television bases.

Thinking of this, he read the following investigation report again, thought for a while and asked: "What do you think is the biggest problem in this? Funding?"

"It's not a matter of funding!" The elite shook their heads and affirmed, "For now, in addition to filming in film bases, the domestic film industry prefers to go to scenic spots and historical sites for filming!"

After hearing the concise and concise words of the elite, Yang Ming suddenly realized what he was talking about. He patted his head and remembered something.

I see.

There are great differences between this world and the past. One obvious difference is the protection of historical sites and ancient buildings in this world.

Also, if people want to travel to these places, the cost of tickets is not very high. They are basically collected symbolically and used for the daily maintenance of the scenic spots. Unlike in previous lives, the local government set high tickets and regarded them as an important tax source.

Because the major historical sites and ancient buildings are in good repair, and the application procedures for film crews who want to stay in the filming are not very complicated, and there are no layers of scraping, the film company is more willing to go to the scene for some shots.

These places are not film and television cities.

Although filming was a little troublesome due to the lockdown, it was still within the tolerance of major film companies.

Therefore, the modern film and television base industry has never developed. Except for a few film and television bases that have found new ways, other film and television bases are basically in a state of loss.

After thinking about it in his mind, he carefully looked through the investigation report in his hand.

One of them is the ranking of the current domestic film and television bases.

Dongyang Film and Television City ranks first in terms of area and investment amount.

It covers an area of ​​about 7 square kilometers and the investment amount is about 1 billion yuan!

Seeing this data, he still couldn't help but frown. He really didn't expect that the number one film and television city in this world was not as good as the Hengdian Film City in the previous life.

You must know that in the previous life, Hengdian Cinema City covered an area of ​​30 square kilometers, with an investment amount of up to 3 billion!

However, Yang Ming thought of the previous filming situation at Dongyang Film Base, and nodded silently in his heart.

Although Dongyang Film Base has a great reputation in the contemporary film industry, it cannot be compared with Hengdian Film City in its previous life.

The royal palace buildings of several dynasties in Hengdian Film City alone are unmatched by Dongyang Film Base.

But we can’t blame Dongyang Film Base.

If a film company in this generation shoots a palace drama, it will basically go to the Forbidden City or other royal architectural attractions for filming. Although the cost is high, it is much less than in the previous life, and it is still within the acceptance range of the film company.

His thoughts became more and more clear.

At this time, the elite man's words interrupted Yang Ming's thinking.

"Mr. Yang, after our investigation and analysis, we very carefully remind you that investing in a film and television base is not a good investment project! I personally suggest that you consider financial investment."

Hearing the serious and kind reminder from the other party, Yang Ming nodded slightly, knowing that the other party had good intentions.

Even the investment in the film and television base in the previous life was an investment project with huge investment and relatively slow return, let alone this life?

But he had a reason to build it.

If he really wanted to invest and make money, why not continue to bring some of the Internet ideas from his previous life to this life?

However, money is really no longer a pursuit for him.

Even if he is not making movies and is just sitting on the sky, just his WeChat shares are enough to ensure that he has a worry-free life in this life, and no matter how much he spends, he will never run out of money.

In this life, his only pursuit is to achieve success in movies, to leave his mark in this world, and to prove that he has passed through this world.

Then, the film and television city is an indispensable part.

"I know the rate of return of this investment project, which is not as quick as investment and financial management; but I am not investing for money!" Yang Ming said calmly. He looked at the elite man and said word by word: "I am a movie

He is just a director who wants to make a perfect movie!"

The elite man opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he thought for a moment and did not say anything. After all, the other party is the employer. They only need to make suggestions. Whether the other party adopts it or not, it has nothing to do with them.

"I know what you are worried about." Yang Ming smiled and flicked the investigation report with his finger, "But have you noticed a situation, that is, the domestic tourism industry has been developing faster and faster in recent years. Every year, film companies go to scenic spots to shoot scenes.

, the cost of blocking filming is getting higher and higher. Maybe money is a small thing to them, but the time and energy have become more and more beyond what they can bear!"

This is indeed the case. He didn't pay attention to it at first, but now that he saw the investigation and analysis by professional organizations, he couldn't help but think of this matter.

When filming "The Swordsman", we went to the Shaolin Temple for filming and closed part of the temple's buildings for filming, which took a lot of time and energy from the crew.

Although Lao Chai was responsible for handling this aspect at the time, Yang Ming knew everything about it.

Especially for palace dramas, there are only a few scenic spots with ancient buildings in China that can film palace dramas, but there are dozens of palace-related movies being shot every year. When there is a shooting schedule conflict, one of the film companies has to go to the film and television

Shooting in the city.

Even if the palace building in the film and television city does not meet the requirements of the crew, it can only be accepted.

Yang Ming often hears complaints from directors in the industry about this aspect.

The development of the tourism industry has brought more and more tourists, which will definitely cause a strong conflict with the crew's filming, but it has not exploded yet.

But he believes that this day will not be far away soon.

If he really decides to build a film and television city, then now is a very good opportunity.

It's just that as the project progresses, money will definitely be spent to speed up the construction.

The elite man saw that Yang Ming was determined to invest in the film and television city. After looking at each other with a few people around him, he said slowly: "Mr. Yang, everything depends on your opinion."

"If I decide to start the film and television city project, do you have any recommended investment cities?" Yang Ming asked.

The cities in China in this world are completely different from those in the past. Naturally, he cannot use the eyes of the past to measure the cities in this world. Therefore, the choice of investment environment must be selected by these professionals for him to choose.

To be honest, he wanted to go to the former Hengdian Movie City site to build the current Hengdian, but he looked at the map and found that although the land there could not be cultivated, there were already other industrial projects, and it was impossible for him to build a huge film and television complex.

city.

Therefore, he had no choice but to arrange for a professional organization to conduct investigation and research.

When it came to business, the elite man looked serious, then took out a notebook, flipped through a few pages, and said: "Mr. Yang, according to our analysis, the film and television bases mainly include the following types, natural landscapes, folk culture,

Historical themes, mainly these categories, which one do you prefer?"

After saying this, the elite man motioned to the man next to him to take out a document and hand it to Yang Ming.

Yang Ming took the document and glanced at it. There were detailed introductions to these three types of film and television bases, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of these three types of film and television bases, all listed one by one.

Seeing this, he couldn't help but marvel at the professionalism of this organization.

Then I looked at it carefully.

After watching it, he narrowed his eyes slightly, thought silently for a while, and said: "None of these three types of film and television bases meet my requirements!"

Hearing Yang Ming's words, several elite men on the opposite side were shocked. Then the elite man asked in surprise: "What type of film and television base do you require?"

Yang Ming had an inexplicable expression when he heard this, and said leisurely: "The film and television city I want can condense the palace buildings of all dynasties in China. The buildings inside span the history of China for thousands of years, and the buildings with regional characteristics from the north and south.

, can all be found in my film and television base. If I describe it in one sentence, then this film and television city is the Qingming Riverside Scene in our film and television industry!"

When the people on the other side heard Yang Ming's request, they all looked horrified. The elite man blurted out: "Do you want to rebuild a city?"

The palace buildings of the past dynasties and the buildings with regional characteristics in the north and south are like the layout of the Riverside Scene during the Qingming Festival. This is definitely a huge project comparable to building a city.

Even if it is just a miniature city, the cost calculation is definitely a figure that will surprise everyone and be jaw-dropping!

"According to your requirements, it is estimated that this project will cost at least 30 billion yuan to start, and the final investment is likely to reach the astronomical figure of 50 billion yuan!" The elite man quickly did a simple calculation in his mind and immediately put forward his opinion.

.

The investment of 50 billion yuan is probably a record-breaking investment project not only in China, but also in the world.

However, this investment project that will be remembered by history is only used to build a film and television city, which makes the elite man not know what to say in his heart.

To be honest, according to his idea, if he really has 50 billion, no matter what he invests in, the money will come faster and more secure than investing in a film and television city.

"Is your plan too risky?" The elite man couldn't help but remind him tactfully.

"Manager Huang, I didn't just say something casually, but I made a decision after careful consideration. I will invest in the film and television city plan without hesitation. In addition, you don't have to worry about funding issues. Please rest assured.
