O6? M M NV b* { . Q2 qf^tt"j Ű4 '|1 The town's film and television city plan was implemented, and the local staff entered the demolition and mobilization stage.

There is a big difference from the real estate development of simply building and selling houses, except for some residents who affect the construction of scenic spots and are required to relocate, most local residents can choose not to relocate.

Much of the land that was originally zoned to the film and television city was mountainous and forested, and the density of residents was not very large.

Even if it is not demolished, it can be used to build the artificial landscape required for the film and television city. Of course, including residents in the overall plan will be more conducive to the development of the film and television city in the long run.

Humen Film and Television City Development and Management Company's compensation to local residents is that after the demolition, the demolition will be repaid and 20,000 yuan in cash. At the same time, move and send a full set of new furniture and appliances. Including telephone, computer, color TV, VCD.

If the demolition household loses its job and source of income due to the moving factor, it can apply to become an employee of Humen Film and Television City, and the film and television city will train them and arrange what they can do.

In addition, the elderly of the demolition households over the age of 60 are regarded as retirees by the film and television base, and the average standard retirement salary is paid to local retired employees.

This kind of conscientious capitalist approach will cost tens of millions of dollars in additional expenses. But Lin Qi feels that it is very meaningful, if a company wants to integrate into the local area, no matter how awesome it is, it must have a good relationship with the locals and have a good reputation and reputation.

Later, it was the same in Hengdian, the local villagers stopped farming, and the former farm compound was gone. However, every family has lived in a house compensated by the Hengdian Group, and at the same time, the aborigines can work for the company, grow flowers and grass, and their income is more stable than before. If you want to be a group performer, you can also get the group performance fee and a box lunch until you vomit.

Lin Qi felt that the later Hengdian model was quite good!

This model is very suitable for the Chinese film industry, because it is unrealistic to copy the Hollywood model, which can not only fly around the world to shoot live scenes, but also build a dream venue for a film, and then abandon it after the expensive location is filmed. In fact, this is also a great waste.

By the 80s, the Hong Kong film industry was also increasingly touting live action and despised films shot on film and television bases. For example, the big studios of Shaw Brothers are also regarded as a symbol of backwardness and obsolescence because of the decline of Shaw Brothers Film Company.

But this is just that the pattern of Shaw Brothers' film and television base is too small to meet the development needs of the film and television industry in this era.

In later generations, Hengdian was actually a larger-scale Shaw Brothers studio! Of course, Shaw Brothers was mainly used for their own filming, and it was relatively closed. And Hengdian is a big studio that is open to the whole world!

However, the "big set" model allows all kinds of filming attractions to be concentrated in one area, and talents and funds are also gathered together. This kind of high integration of various resources can greatly reduce the cost of filming, and later, even some Chinese classical scenes needed by Hollywood had to be filmed in Hengdian.

Later, Hengdian became more and more popular, which also proved that the professional blockbuster studio is not outdated. It's just that a larger, more professional management and a better business model are needed.

The success of the Hengdian model is, in essence, a victory for cost and efficiency. This model can naturally bring together professional talents, making filming more efficient and cost-effective.

……

A week after Lin Qi sat in Humen Town, Li Hanxiang and Xie Jin were also invited to Humen Town by him.

"Mr. Lin, I don't know ......" Li Hanxiang and Xie Jin, the two big directors, were a little surprised when they saw each other.

Both of them know each other, and they must be invited to make a movie, but what kind of movie to make and what are the requirements of the movie, the two are still very curious.

Li Hanxiang, a great director, can eat well on both sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. And Xie Jin's box office performance cannot be compared with Li Hanxiang, but he has also won many awards at home and abroad.

Lin Qi pointed to the ruins of the Humen Fort and said: "Once, a war broke out here, and that war was the beginning of China's modern history! Hong Kong became the first concession to be occupied in the late Qing Dynasty!"

"Opium War!" said the two great directors in unison. Because, these two are both great directors who are famous for Chinese historical dramas. Historical dramas have a very high influence in the world film industry, and many award-winning directors with high ratings start with historical themes.

In the 80s, after the aesthetic fatigue of Western historical themes, a large number of people began to pay attention to the history of other regions that had not yet been settled. For example, Chinese historical themes were once relatively popular.

In addition to the Chinese historical themes filmed by Chinese directors, they have won many awards. Foreign director Bernardo Bertolucci also relied on "The Last Emperor", the last emperor of the late Qing Dynasty, Pu Yi, to hit the nine awards of the Academy Awards, basically swept the Academy Awards.

Many of Li Hanxiang's historical films, even in later generations, are imitated and studied as textbooks. It's just some costume films, and if you want to shoot a classic, you have to learn from it. Of course, limited by technical conditions and investment scale, Li Hanxiang's films cannot be compared with later blockbusters. After all, the later blockbusters cost tens of millions of dollars, and Li Hanxiang's movies have a budget of several million.

But in terms of details, it is really in place, such as the Qing Palace series filmed by it, which was directly filmed in the Forbidden City, and many of the props used are real guys who are much more expensive than the investment cost of the movie. In terms of details, you can complete the various blockbusters in the market at N levels, no matter how awesome you are, can you film in the Forbidden City, and besides, do you still use a bunch of priceless cultural relics to make movies?

Xie Jin is about the same age as Li Hanxiang, and in recent years, he has made war movies like "Garland Under the Mountain". The later "Opium War" is even more meticulous in details, and it deserves the evaluation of a real director. For example, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and others really owe a little bit of skill compared with Xie Jin's movies. Especially in terms of evidence and details, Xie Jin and Li Hanxiang can be regarded as cultural people, and compared with them, Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and other juniors can really be called illiterate people who do not understand history and have no culture.

Of course, the problems of these two directors are not without their faults, they are very rigorous in details, and they can really learn history and culture in the movie. is really not a one-level thing like a child's play in the later historical entertainment films.

But...... There are too many such "dry goods", and it is true that I feel that it is a masterpiece to savor it. However, the problem is that most viewers don't have that patience, and they can't wait to see the popular drama at first glance.

In terms of movies, Lin Qi is a layman, but he is an authoritative audience, and he still has the right to speak about watching movies, and he is also an investor, so his right to speak can directly affect the work.

"That's right, please come over with the two of you, because I want to make "Opium War"!" Lin Qi said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about making some award-winning in-depth movies." Rather, a successful commercial blockbuster. This subject matter is heavy, only for us Chinese, foreigners, we can't feel the historical significance of "Opium Wars"!"

If you want to make something interesting to foreigners, you need a movie like "The Last Emperor".

But Lin Qi really doesn't think that "The Last Emperor" is inferior to "Opium War". Foreigners can't see it, but in the eyes of Chinese, the details of "The Last Emperor" are all from the perspective of foreigners, and they do not go deep into the depth of Chinese history and culture.

Of course, if you want to make "Opium War" into a better movie, you need to work on "war".

There are too many opiums and smoking bans in front of the historical "Opium War", although the restoration of history is very good. However, for Lin Qi, this aspect should be filmed a little more simply, and the war scenes should be filmed a little more.

Men have to watch the scene of cannon bombardment and queuing up to be shot.

If there were more war scenes, a little more tragic. So...... The commercial effect is also a little better, and the influence will be greater.

In later generations, many people regretted "Opium War", what a good movie, even the artillery battles and melee scenes performed well. With Xie Jin's kung fu, it is estimated that he can control scenes like "Waterloo".

This kind of man's romance, Xie Jin is endless, and it stops at the point.

Lin Qi wants to correct this mistake, "Opium War" must analyze the causes and consequences, but it must also meet the needs of those audiences who simply want to watch war scenes. For example, some foreign audiences who are completely unaware of the "Opium War" will not resonate with the ban on smoking.

However, "war" is the common language of mankind of different races, histories, and cultures around the world. If you shoot more scenes of the war and shoot them more excitingly, you can hope to turn a niche movie into an epic blockbuster
