The addition of Qiu Degen made the decision-makers who decided the location of Pengcheng Film and Television Base four, and things soon became clear.

On the premise that Lin Youlun did not express his position, Qiu Degen strongly advocated building the film and television base in Nanshan, and Zou Wenhuai's vote overwhelmed Shao Yifu's suggestion to put the film and television base in Nanao.

Qiu Degen's reason is simple: Nanao is close to the Daya Bay nuclear power plant, which is about to be put into operation, and the existence of the nuclear power plant will greatly hinder the attraction of tourists after the completion of the film and television base.

As soon as this reason was put forward, Shao Yifu also began to waver, and Lin Youlun made a decision to choose the location of the film and television base in Nanshan, and the name will be Nanshan Cinema in the future.

Lin Youlun took out 500 million Hong Kong dollars, Qiu Degen took out 300 million Hong Kong dollars, Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers each contributed 200 million Hong Kong dollars, with a total investment of 1.2 billion Hong Kong dollars, and won nearly 100 acres of land in Nanshan in one go, and the cinema will start construction after the Spring Festival in 94.

After signing a cooperation agreement with the Pengcheng City Government, Lin Youlun received an invitation to visit CCTV, and at this time, the TV series "Journey to the West" co-produced by the two places was about to be released in the mainland.

Lin Youlun went north to the mainland this time, and he also brought Wang Guxian with him to end the north. During the trip to Beijing, by the way, you can also go to the crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to explore Chen Hong's class.

On the plane, after Wang Guxian met Li Ruoxun and Quinoa, they quickly chatted together.

Li Ruoxun is relatively weak in temperament, and many times he just acts as an audience, but Quinoa and Wang Guxian are very close to each other. Chatted for hours on the plane. By the time I got off the plane, I had almost become a close friend who talked about everything.

December North. Capital city. The climate was close to freezing, and the three girls came from Hong Kong, and they were accidentally frozen into a cold, and they rested for several days before they basically recovered.

The day after arriving in the capital, Li Ruoxun and Quinoa appeared on a CCTV news program with the crew of "Journey to the West", because they were taken care of by Lin Youlun before they went, and they paid attention to their speeches, but there were no problems during the recording of the program.

"Journey to the West" caused a lot of repercussions after it was broadcast in the mainland. Not only because most of the actors in this TV series are most of the actors who follow the 82 version of "Journey to the West", but also because of the cooperation between the mainland and Hong Kong, the plot of the film is much more open than the mainland's self-made TV series, among which the love-hate obsession between Qiao Linger, the reincarnation of the Buddha, and the two heroines has left a very deep impression on the audience.

Of course, the most noteworthy thing about this TV series is the use of special effects, and the amazing stunt scenes have opened the eyes of mainland audiences, and at the same time, many mainland TV series producers have seen the real gap between the film and television production levels of the two places.

During this period, Lin Youlun was not idle, and several deputy directors of CCTV took turns to accompany him and took him to visit CCTV's live broadcast rooms. And also observed the recording of several programs on the spot.

After learning that Lin Youlun was very interested in the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", the deputy director surnamed Zhao who took him to visit immediately chatted with him with great interest.

"We're filming this kind of TV series here. The production cycle is generally very long, and it is common for a TV series to be filmed for five or six years from the beginning of preparation, such as "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions", which took several years to complete...... I once talked to some Hong Kong guests about this, and they all expressed disbelief, saying that it is unimaginable that a TV series in Hong Kong has been filmed for more than half a year, and more than a year is definitely an investor running away with money! ”

Although the deputy director surnamed Zhao was joking, his words also revealed some envy for the high efficiency of Hong Kong TV drama shooting.

"Hong Kong is a commercial society, everything is efficient, although the shooting cycle of TV dramas has been greatly shortened, but this has also caused the quality of TV dramas to be uneven, and it is difficult to imagine that the mainland can shoot high-quality products that can stand the test of time."

Lin Youlun's words are not entirely compliments, at least the TV series "Journey to the West" and "Dream of Red Mansions" filmed in the mainland in this era, although the production cycle is long, but each TV series is carefully carved as a work of art, although limited by the times and technical limitations, the quality of the TV series is still excellent, like "Journey to the West", which has been circulated for many years, is still a frequent visitor on the summer screen and is widely welcomed by the audience, while many TV series in Hong Kong and Taiwan, watched after ten or twenty years, cannot arouse people's interest in watching it at all.

Especially "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", which is currently being filmed, is still a very classic and intriguing work for 20 years.

"In 1987, the issue of filming a TV series with the theme of the Three Kingdoms has been put on the agenda by our CCTV, and the adaptation and filming guidelines have been determined at that time, as long as the funds are in place, filming can start smoothly, but soon after, several local stations and some audio-visual companies have ideas to shoot the 'Three Kingdoms', and even the Japanese film and television industry has spread the news that they are ready to invest in the filming of the 'Three Kingdoms' and plan to invite Ken Takakura to play Zhuge Liang, so CCTV decided to give the opportunity to the local station first."

Later, for various reasons, the local station said that they would not shoot the theme of the Three Kingdoms, so CCTV took over the matter again, and officially established the project from 90 years, the director team visited Beiying, Bayi Factory, Beijing Renyi, Qingyi, Children's Art, General Politics, Air Affairs and other units, and sent three assistant directors to many cities across the country to look for actors, and the selection of actors was completed for nearly 10 months, and at the same time, in order to provide location filming locations for this TV series, The crew built two of China's largest studios in Zhuozhou, each with an area of 1,200 square meters, and the two studios cost a total of about 40 million yuan; During the same period, the 'Three Kingdoms City' built in Wuxi cost more than 20 million yuan, more than 1,000 kinds of clothing, more than 30,000 sets, and about 5 million yuan. There are nearly 70,000 props costing about 7 million yuan...... It can be said that in order to shoot this TV series, CCTV used unprecedented manpower, material and financial resources, and only hoped that the filming of this TV series would give a satisfactory explanation to TV audiences across the country. ”

Although Zhilu Dao invested a lot in the filming of the TV series "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", when he heard the deputy director surnamed Zhao say these data, Lin Youlun couldn't help but secretly smack his tongue.

A TV series cost more than 100 million yuan, not to mention in the mainland, even in Hong Kong and Taiwan, I have never heard of it, of course, most of this money is used to invest in the construction of film and television locations, and these scenes can continue to be used by other crews after filming "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", so strictly speaking, it cannot be included in the shooting cost of TV series, in fact, the shooting cost of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is about 30 million.

What really surprised Lin Youlun was the huge investment in manpower in this TV series, listening to the introduction of the deputy director surnamed Zhao, when the crew filmed "The Battle of Guandu" in June 92, the crew used the strength of a division of the People's Liberation Army, more than 10,000 people; During the filming of "Burning Chibi", 72 ships were mobilized, more than 50 truckloads of firewood, more than 20 tons of gasoline and diesel were burned, and more than 3,000 extras were invited to participate in the filming.

Such a big battle is absolutely impossible in the Hong Kong film and television industry.

The deputy director surnamed Zhao was also a little proud when he said this, and Lin Youlun also praised two sentences cooperatively, saying that the other party was happy, and decided to invite Lin Youlun to Zhuozhou to visit the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the next day.

And this is exactly what Lin Youlun can't ask for, so naturally there is no reason to refuse.

Lin Youlun originally only planned to take Wang Guxian to visit Zhuozhou together, but when he was leaving, he saw that Qu Zi and Li Ruoxun also secretly followed Wang Guxian into the car, and the CCTV staff who came to pick up Lin Youlun only regarded the three daughters as Lin Youlun's entourage and did not stop them.

"I'm not going to visit the mountains and rivers this time, but to visit the crew, you guys come along, don't complain if you feel bored later!" Before leaving, Lin Youlun reminded the three daughters.

Wang Guxian immediately retorted: "It's more boring to stay in the hotel, I'll bring the two of them, and you can have a companion on the way!" ”

Under Lin Youlun's gaze, Li Ruoxun weakly did not dare to speak, but Quinoa nodded very boldly, in support of Wang Guxian.

The idea of bringing them out was Wang Guxian, and then Wang Guxian was willing to support the two of them, and Lin Youlun had no choice but to ask them a few words first.

From the north. It took more than two hours to drive from Beijing to Zhuozhou, and when they arrived at the destination, in addition to Quinoa's interest, Wang Guxian and Li Ruoxun both had some slight motion sickness.

In addition to building two interior studios here, the crew also built a number of exterior scenes of "Han City Wall", "Street", and "Tongque Terrace", and the guide sent by CCTV first led Lin Youlun and his party around these locations, and then took them to the filming site.

Before there was a place, I heard two people arguing over there.

"Today there is a visiting group, tomorrow there is a visiting group, the main work of the crew is for filming, not to provide visits and receptions!"

"Director Zhang, this time the situation is special, the guests who came to visit are from Hong Kong, they just take a look from the side, and it will not affect the normal shooting of the crew."

The CCTV staff member who accompanied him was slightly embarrassed, and was about to remind him, but Lin Youlun stopped him. (To be continued......)
