Chapter 393: Uncle's thoughts

PS: Thank you for the unfamiliar Beetle, asasasax commuter pass. Ask for a guaranteed monthly pass.

Fang Bin chased after him and walked side by side with Fang Mingyuan.

"Uncle, don't you discuss the Gulf War with my father?" Fang Mingyuan said strangely.

"There's nothing to discuss," Fang Bin waved his hand, "I can't discuss anything new, if I really care about this war, I won't be in a hurry to come back, it's good to stay in Hong Kong to watch TVB or ATV, it's more detailed and interesting than our TV station."

Fang Mingyuan nodded, Fang Bin's statement, even after two thousand years, was deeply recognized by many people in Huaxia. Compared with the "open-mouthed" Hong Kong TV station, these news programs of Huaxia TV are indeed not deep enough. It's no wonder that Fang Bin, who has been raised by Hong Kong TV, can't look down on it.

"This is really not going out, I don't know the backwardness of our country, a small Hong Kong, the development of the TV station industry has surpassed our province, this is really more people than people, angry people" Fang Bin shook his head again and again.

"Yes, compared to Shijie countries, Huaxia is already a lot behind," Fang Mingyuan couldn't help but sigh and said.

"Well, Mingyuan, I plan to go to Hollywood in the United States during the Chinese New Year, can you help me contact Director Cameron and Emerald Bird Films, I want to see the Hollywood studio." Fang Bin changed the topic.

"Hollywood studios? What to see? Fang Mingyuan was a little strange, why did Fang Bin suddenly remember this.

"Look at how Hollywood sets up movie studios. Mr. Yu and I both feel that compared with Hollywood, today's Hong Kong movies are too simple in terms of studio construction. Although it is said that there are haode actors and haode plots, it is not possible to make a good movie with these two items. Don't you think that compared to American movies, Hong Kong movies sometimes seem too fake in the background? Not even as good as the work of the Americans ten years ago. Fang Bin said.

Fang Mingyuan grinned, Hong Kong movies are popular for low-cost small productions, if you want to have a realistic background, you have to have that budget. However, Fang Bin has the heart to go to Hollywood, which is not a bad thing, reading thousands of books and traveling thousands of miles, only when his horizons are broadened, can he have great development. Kumho Movie has already started with a haode, and since Yu Qiuxuan and Fang Bin have the heart to continue to develop and grow, Fang Mingyuan naturally has no reason to stand in the way.

And Fang Mingyuan still remembers that in his previous life, when several bigwigs in the Hong Kong film industry represented by Cheng Long left Hong Kong and entered Hollywood, Hong Kong films declined, except for one "Infernal Affairs", he really can't remember any other films that can get unanimous praise from everyone. zuihou has actually fallen to the point where he has to rely on the 3D version of "Meat Futon" to save the city, which is really a bit eye-catching.

If it is said that the Hong Kong film industry can realize the development direction of Shijie films in the future from now on, and strive to catch up with the gap with American Hollywood, it may be able to be reborn in the future. What's more, the film industry is also a smoke-free industry, and the output value and employment population of related industries that can be driven by it are also an extremely considerable number.

"No problem, I'll say hello to the American side when I go back, with Cameron as a guide, I'm sure most of Hollywood's studios will open their doors to you." Fang Mingyuan happily agreed.

"Mingyuan, I have an idea, I want to hear your opinion." Fang Bin said a little hesitantly, "You said, to build a location base in China that is specially used for filmmakers and TV people to shoot movies and television, is there a future for development?" ”

"Huh?" Fang Mingyuan stopped in astonishment. I couldn't help but have five big words in my mind - could it be that Hengdian Cinema City said that Uncle is also going to revise history?

"I think so, if we say that we build a studio according to the level of Hollywood in the future, then the cost of this studio will be very high, if you shoot one and build one, and withdraw after filming, I am afraid that even Hong Kong filmmakers will not be able to afford such a high cost, let alone the domestic film industry. If we say ......" Fang Bin pondered for a moment, then continued, "We can keep all these exterior scenes like Suzhou Street in the Summer Palace, so if someone makes a movie or TV series with a similar background in the future, there is no need to re-set it up." In this case, the cost of amortization will not be too high. We can build a Hong Kong street first, so that we can attract Hong Kong filmmakers to shoot in the mainland, which can increase the mainland's income on the one hand, and reduce the expenditure of investors on the other hand. ”

Fang Mingyuan was speechless in surprise at this time, he didn't expect that Uncle would actually think of building a film and television base

In the previous life, Hengdian Film City was the largest film and television shooting base in China, including Hong Kong Street, Ming and Qing Dynasty Palaces, Qin Palace, Qingming Shanghe Tu, Dream Valley, Pingyan Cave Mansion, Dazhi Temple, Ming and Qing Dynasty Residence Expo City, etc., more than a dozen film and television shooting bases spanning thousands of years of history and space, bringing together the regional characteristics of the north and south, and two super-large modern studios. At present, it has become the film and television shooting base with the most shooting scenes, the most complete supporting facilities and the largest historical span in China.

The grand scale of the base and the abundant shooting scenes have attracted film and television directors at home and abroad to lead the crews to come to Hengdian for filming. Among them are some well-known directors and influential blockbusters.

It is said that around 2010, the operating income of Hengdian Cinema City has reached nearly 1.5 billion yuan, and more than 100 million yuan has been paid in taxes alone. It has provided thousands of jobs for the local area and has a huge influence in Dangzai. The rise of the film and television industry has also promoted the development of leisure tourism in Hengdian. It has developed a small town in the south into a bustling market, with bookstores, Internet cafes, bars, teahouses, snacks, restaurants, high-end hotels, guesthouses, amusement parks, nightclubs, sauna centers, performing arts centers, fitness centers, bowling alleys and other high-level tourist areas with complete facilities.

The future is immeasurable

Fang Bin looked at Fang Mingyuan, who was in a daze but had been noncommittal, he had been beating the drum in his heart, although he had come up with this idea, and he had also discussed it with Yu Qiuxuan, Yu Qiuxuan also felt that this matter was promising, and it could play an important role in promoting the future development of Kumho Film Company. But if his nephew didn't nod, Fang Bin was always a little bottomless in his heart

He and Yu Qiuxuan calculated that such a film and television shooting base can only be placed in China, and the initial investment is huge, it is estimated that at least the first phase of investment will be hundreds of millions of yuan, if it is said that to achieve the complete building complex of multiple dynasties, the funds required are even more terrible. With such a large investment, if you make a mistake in judgment and go down the drain, how can it be good?

That's why he personally came to ask Fang Mingyuan for advice, as long as Fang Mingyuan nodded, then he would devote himself to this work, if Fang Mingyuan objected, he would give up this idea.

"Uncle, have you figured out where to put the base?" Fang Mingyuan asked slowly.

Fang Bin's heart was hot, it seemed that there was a door, "Didn't Sister Yu say, you want to buy a large piece of land in Yazhou City, Qionghai Province, what do you think about it in Yazhou City, Qionghai Province?" ”

"Yazhou?" Fang Mingyuan raised his eyebrows, and said after a while, "I'm afraid Yazhou is not very suitable, if you only plan to build a building complex with Hong Kong or Yangcheng as the background in the future, then there is no problem." But if you plan to build other eras, the natural environment in Yazhou is not very suitable. I think you can find a place in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River basin, which has the characteristics of both the north and the south of China. ”

"The lower reaches of the Yangtze River?" Fang Bin repeated with some confusion.

"Well, the lower reaches of the Yangtze River...... There is a town called Hengdian in Zhejiang Province, which is very close to the surrounding major cities, and it is only a few hours away by car, so I think it should be very suitable as a foothold for this film and television shooting base. Fang Mingyuan decided to respect history at this point, the reason why the Hengdian film and television shooting base was able to succeed in the previous life must be due to its unique conditions, since he knew that it was suitable to build a film and television shooting base, why should he let his uncle bother to search for it.

"Hengdian? Zhejiang Province? Hengdian, Zhejiang Province" Fang Bin repeated twice, remembering the place name firmly.

Fang Mingyuan said it so surely, and his words were conclusive, Fang Bin naturally didn't dare to be careless. But this heart couldn't help but have a thought: "Could it be that Mingyuan also had this idea a long time ago, and even chose the location?" ”

"What is Sister Qiu Xuan going to do? Do you invest in the name of the company, or do you want to start from scratch and set up a new company to take care of this part of the business? Fang Mingyuan asked casually.

"Sister Yu means that there is no opinion, whatever we want." Fang Bin spread his hands and said, "Even if we invest alone, there is no problem." If there is a joint venture, the Guo family can contribute 40 percent. ”

"Then invest in Kumho's name, and save yourself from dividing the shares. Uncle, since you put forward this idea, then you have to be responsible for this matter, I don't think money is a problem, if the company's funds are tight, I can transfer it first......"

"No, Kumho now has a lot of money on hand, and the start-up capital is completely sufficient." Fang Bin waved his hand again and again. In the past year, Kumho Co-produced six films, all of which were big hits, and there were no new dramas to shoot in a short period of time, and 100 million yuan could still be obtained. When this money is used up, there will naturally be new profits into the company's account.
