After inspecting Tiankun Music's CD factory, Gu Biao asked the bodyguards to drive to Lanting Cinema that afternoon.

However, he soon regretted that it was not a good choice to drive so far to the countryside on a hot August day. The key is that after arriving, I found that there was no crew working at all, only some tourists who came to travel because of the summer vacation.

This is also to blame Gu Biao for just wandering around on a whim, without any advance notice and homework.

After arriving, I asked the park manager, and the park manager reported the recent financial situation. Gu Biao found that in the absence of a crew filming, he basically relied on tickets and the rent of the shops in the park to return to the original cost, and then slightly made an annual profit of 10%. Considering the interest rates and inflation around 85 years, this is really not a lot of money.

It seems that the cultural tourism industry also has a peak season and a peak year, and after a wave of craze has passed, it is inevitable that it will be flat for a while.

In the first two years, because of the Xiangjiang-related negotiations, the national team invested in so many historical films of the late Qing Dynasty, regardless of cost and commercial profits, so it gave Gu Biao a large amount of investment and an opportunity to accumulate fame. Now that the demand for this has cooled, there is no excess profit.

"So is there a scene to be filmed here in the near future? Gu Biao interrogated casually.

The park manager meticulously reported: "Just a "New White Snake Legend", it is a script written by Xiao Dong, and I heard that it has been delayed for two years. It seems that the project has been taken care of by Deputy Mayor Qiu, and with the additional support of the city's tourism promotion funds, it can be filmed at any time.

Recently, the park has been empty and no one has rented it, and after a few days, it will be the hottest time of the year, and it will be a little cooler to go up. Oh, by the way, Tian Kun Production Company has also reported the preparation plan, you can take a look if you are interested. ”

Gu Biao took the other party's things from the pile of old papers and looked at them.

The heroine is Zhao Yazhi unexpectedly, it seems that Sister Ya has also hesitated for a few years, and finally made up her mind to develop the mainland market with Fa Ge, and left the so-called ban on "Wanwan" behind.

Gu Biao's "The Last Emperor" last year, his previous achievements in Hollywood, and the re-popularity of Andy Lau and Liang Jiahui, two guys who were banned by Wanwan, obviously had a snowball effect step by step, disintegrating the vigilance of batches of Xiangjiang artists.

Especially the box office hit of Andy Lau and Liang Jiahui's "Black Gold" two months ago was the last straw that pressed the psychological defense line of Xiangjiang artists. This proves that as long as Gu Biao wants to win it, it is completely possible to "not only allow you to win various film awards, but also make commercial blockbusters that are accepted by the market, can accumulate fans, and can make money".

It's very promising to win prizes and make money, so what are you afraid of?

Zhao Yazhi's status in the rivers and lakes was not far behind Zhou Yanfa a few years ago, not to mention that both of them became popular 5 years ago through "Hujiang Beach" with the intervention of Gu Biao Capital, and now they are re-softened at about the same time, and it is not surprising that they are not false and wrong.

In terms of supporting roles, Gu Biao saw that Xiaoqing was played by Yu Feihong. When he saw this name, Gu Biao was still thinking about it in his heart, well, that little girl is also a high school student who is 15 years old and 16 years old, and she has the experience of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" before, and this role is not a challenge at the moment.

Gu Biao heard a while ago that Yu Feihong originally wanted to take advantage of the proximity to the water, and also went to the Red Mansion to try the casting - according to the original trajectory of history, of course she didn't have such great ambitions when she was 15 years old. But isn't this all because Gu Biao built the "Grand View Garden" project to Qiantang, close to the water, Yu Feihong felt that he had good qualifications, so he was stunned by his ambitions, figured it out, and felt that he should have some hope for a role like Spring Exploration to audition.

It's a pity that the casting of the crew of "Dream of Red Mansions" does not look at the foundation of acting skills, but only on your cultural heritage and connotation. A little girl who had just graduated from junior high school, obviously her ancient literature and related skills were too poor, and she couldn't drop out of school for more than a year of training, so she was brushed off. It is a lesson for the little girl to let her know that life should not be smooth sailing all the way to the end.

However, Yu Feihong is also backbone, and he didn't rely on knowing Gu Biao and Xiao Sui, and he cooperated happily, so he greeted him with pampering and arrogant relationships. I didn't choose to go back obediently, and then applied for the crew of "The Legend of the New White Snake" this time. Most of the production companies here are people under Gu Biao, and they are very familiar with Yu Feihong, even if Gu Biao has never said hello, they tend to use old people who have worked happily together. And this TV series is not a serious work, so it was released.

And the "male protagonist" who dresses as a man has been changed from Ye Tong in another time and space to Lin Qingxia - the reason why this drama has dragged on for so long may be that waiting for the "male lead" consumes more resources than waiting for the "female lead".

Because Lin Qingxia was originally from Wanwan, when she debuted, she also developed in Wanwan throughout the late 70s. Later, because the future of Wanwan film development was not as good as that of Xiangjiang, Lin Qingxia only came to Xiangjiang in 82.

Later, in 83, she was nominated for the Best Actress at the first Xiangjiang Film Awards (not an award) - that is, Liang Jiahui won the same actor as "Listening to Politics".

A year later, in 84, Lin Qingxia relied on "New Police Story" to be nominated for the Best Actress at the Xiangjiang Golden Statue again, and it was from this time that she completely recognized that her career development must hug the thighs of the Xiangjiang tycoons and stay in Xiangjiang with all her heart. Then this time, after receiving the invitation with Zhao Yazhi, he weighed the benchmarking effect of other artists who came to the mainland, and he came as soon as he gritted his teeth.

After seeing this result, Gu Biao was also a little crying and laughing - all this is because a few years ago when he asked Xiao Sui to "write a proposition essay and make a few more plans for Party A's father to pick and play", he came up with such a script, emphasizing the borrowing of elements from Yue Opera and picking heroic men's women to play the male lead.

And since this drama is seven or eight years earlier than another time and space, Ye Tong, who should have been the male lead, has not debuted yet, so he dragged Lin Qingxia here. When Gu Biao casually made a notebook back then, he didn't even think about the fact that Lin Qingxia was from Wanwan, which also caused this book to be thrown away in the library for two or three years before it was dragged out for a walk as a "filling the gap in the studio schedule".

It is really a bit overbearing and unnecessary to let people "betray their ancestral province" come to the mainland. But it's all done, and there's nothing to think about, so let it be.

What's more, strictly speaking, Wanwan is not an "ancestral province", but Lin Qingxia's birthplace, her ancestral home is Lu Province, and her eldest sister was born in the 40s, so she was fostered and left in a relative's house in Lu Province that year. Bacheng Wanwan people go back to three generations of ancestral homes, all of which are from the mainland.

As for the preparation of some supporting roles again, Gu Biao didn't bother to look down at all, he just glanced at the start-up date in the end, it was about half of August - according to the weather in Qiantang, the days with high temperatures above 35 degrees were almost over.

After the inspection, the park manager begged Gu Biao and his entourage to have dinner in the restaurant before personally sending Gu Ao's convoy away.

Out of consideration for the suffering of the people, Gu Biao did not refuse. On the contrary, he asked not to engage in specialization, so he personally went to the restaurant in the park for the crew to take it randomly to see how the service quality is now, and whether the lunch meals for the actors and drama managers are qualified.

It is similar to the leaders of the provinces in later generations who inspected university cafeterias and went deep into the masses.

The result was not bad, and the regular bento box was not difficult to swallow.

Before leaving, Gu Biao remembered a question, beckoned, and asked the park manager: "I remember Director Wu Yusen, and Andy Ah Hui, don't they also have a scene to film? Why don't you shoot here?"

The park manager was surprised and said: "Since "Black Gold", I have only filmed some negotiations and chase scenes in the Gongfu tea garden here. The follow-up urban street scenes were all filmed back to Xiangjiang. This time, "The True Color of Heroes" is 100% of all urban police and bandit black state dramas, what is there to shoot in our costume park here?"

Gu Biao rubbed his head, realizing that he really didn't care about this part of the business, and he could ask this kind of question.

Indeed, to build a cinema dedicated to framing, it is only a location that solves the costume, or martial arts/fantasy theme, whether it is Middle-earth in New Zealand or those studios in Hollywood.

And the category of "urban films", whether it is contemporary romance or police and bandit gangsters, it is not necessary to use the studio. The key is to build the city itself well and have a scene that can be taken anywhere, so that it is convenient to attract people to shoot.

After all, the 85-year-old Xiangjiang is much more prosperous than any metropolis in the mainland.

Brought in difficult guests, but could not continue to pull and provide all the resources to do it in one stop. It's a shame.

An idea flashed through Gu Biao's mind: If he wants to bring the filming and filming of police and bandit urban films to the mainland in the late 80s and even the entire 90s, nothing else may be able to solve it, but he first has to get at least two interior filming locations similar to "Yau Ma Tei Police Station" or "Hong Kong Legislative Council/Hong Kong High Law", "Kowloon Ice House/Tea Restaurant" and other interior filming locations that have appeared in hundreds of Hong Kong films.

The problem of framing the whole city can't be solved, and it's no problem to decorate a few places to take interior scenes.

I'll talk about that later.

With these plans in mind, the Mercedes-Benz convoy slowly headed north and crossed the river again.

The bodyguard asked Gu Biao about his itinerary plan and whether he wanted to go home. Gu Biao thought for a while and said, "I won't go home today, go to Daguan Garden, I'll live there." ”

After a while, I hung up the phone to Mina, who had just arrived in the capital and was about to take tomorrow's plane, and asked her to get off the plane tomorrow and come directly to Daguan Garden.

Anyone who has been to the attractions of the Grand View Garden in Beijing in another time and space knows that in the 200 acres of the Grand View Garden, there is not only the "Grand View Garden" itself, but also some supporting facilities that can be reserved as a façade club. Now, since the Grand View Garden in Qiantang was built by Gu Biao (nominally the foreign capital brought in by Xiao Sui), those places that will not be used for filming in the future for the time being, Gu Biao can use them however he wants, and it does not hinder others.

It's his private business.

After arriving at the Grand View Garden, Gu Biao went straight to find a private apartment, took a shower, and took a cool breath for a while. I have to say that the area around the west line of West Lake and air therapy is really quiet and cool, and it is okay if you don't turn on the air conditioner or even the fan in August.

However, after staying at home for a while, Gu Biao soon felt a little hot in his heart because of the hard work of the past few days and the lack of confidantes around him.

He thought of Ren Yuqin, who was an old friend, and it seemed that she was now "quasi-Lin Daiyu", so she was going to the training class every day, so it was better to call to drink some wine together to catch up with the old days.

"Originally, she was quite good at creating opportunities to take the initiative to find me to catch up, how did she become safe this time, didn't she know that I was back in Qiantang?"

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
