Chapter 292: If you want to play, play big

Standing on a raised hill, looking from afar, the mountains are undulating, and the clear water is like a belt.

Criss-crossed by mountain ranges, a side of dozens of square kilometers of flat land, surrounds it.

Yang Lin squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the ground under his feet, his mind flew over, and in a trance, he seemed to return to his previous life.

At that time, there were countless pavilions, carved railings, water pavilions, red walls and green tiles, and palaces. Filmmakers from home and abroad are on the way.

I thought that this was the focus of many film and television giants at home and abroad - China Film Base, Huairou Film and Television City.

"If I want to build a film and television base here, what kind of approval procedures do I need?"

Yang Lin said lightly and looked at Hu Jian beside him.

In the past few years, the boss of China Film has not changed much in appearance, but his momentum has become more and more calm and capable.

"Film and television base?" Hu Jian asked in surprise, and then became excited: "You want to invest in the mainland?" ”

In recent years, due to the reform and opening up, attracting investment has become a big hit, that is, political achievements. Countless local officials, in order to attract investment, unscrupulous means. Everywhere in the land of China, we are proud of attracting investment. Of course, investment promotion has indeed made a great contribution to the local economic development, but everything has advantages and disadvantages, and those bitter fruits will be paid attention to by more people after more than ten or twenty years.

Hu Jian immediately remembered something and frowned: "However, Wuxi is already planning a large-scale film and television base. Do you want to do another one here, will it be a waste of resources? Moreover, it is more beautiful than the mountains and rivers of Wuxi. There are also many inferior. Investing in the construction of a film and television base cannot be done without hundreds of millions, so we must think clearly. ”

"You're misunderstood." Yang Lin smiled faintly. explains: "This film and television base is not only about shooting and framing, but also about post-production. I will do my best to achieve my goal, and if I achieve my goal, there will be no less than 20 film companies from Hong Kong, Japan, the United States and other countries to settle here. Here, it will become the Hollywood of Chinese films. ”

Wuxi's film and television base is good at everything, but there is the same. It is too far away from the political center to be able to get policy support, which is far from enough. In China. In this official-based country, it is close to the political center of the capital that it can become bigger and stronger.

Xie Jin stood to the side, watching the two talk. Squinting. Looking at the plain at the foot of the mountain, hearing this, I couldn't help but ask: "That's not just a matter of policy, the key is funding." If there are no more than a billion yuan, I'm afraid I won't be able to play. ”

In Xie Jin's words, there was a little dissatisfaction. He was filming the movie "Furong Town" recently, and it was the most critical time, but he was called out by Hu Jian with a phone call. Entertain this "Hong Kong businessman". In his opinion, Yang Lin is a typical representative of capitalism. Everything is a big production and a big budget. What kind of real artist is it?

However, Hu Jian is the boss of the domestic film industry, even if he has a highly respected status, he does not dare to offend easily, so he has to come to "pick up customers" with dissatisfaction.

Now when I hear Yang Lin vow to build a Chinese Hollywood, I feel a little unhappy.

If you don't brag, you'll die?

Yang Lin looked at the boss of the fourth generation of Chinese directors and smiled dumbly.

This old man, looking down on people?

He beckoned, took out a plan from Du Qingshan's bag, handed it to Hu Jian, and said with a smile: "If you want to play, you have to play big." I have a shortcoming, I have always been used to being extravagant. I believe in the power of art, but I also believe in the power of money, money is not everything, but without money, it is impossible. ”

Xie Jin rolled his eyes and did not comment, although he is a mainlander, he is a Hong Kong businessman after all, so he needs to save some face.

Hu Jian knew that Yang Lin had always been generous, and he was also looking forward to Yang Lin's plan, so he reached out and took the plan and read it.

Hu Jian was reading the plan, but Yang Lin found Xie Jin. "Old Xie, what are you making recently?" This is a typical no-brainer.

Xie Jin said stiffly: "A movie called "Furong Town", a very artistic film, Mr. Yang probably won't be interested. ”

Yang Lin touched his nose, he couldn't understand why the old man was so angry and had prejudices against himself? There's no reason, it's the first time we've met, right?

Of course, Yang Lin of "Furong Town" knows that it is not only Xie Jin's masterpiece, but also in his previous life, which made Liu Xiaoqing and Jiang Wen an instant hit. Received ten nominations for the Golden Rooster Award and won four of them. In addition, there are countless awards, which can be called "masterpieces", and in one fell swoop established Xie Jin's status as the "first brother" of mainland directors.

Yang Lin likes this movie very much, integrating moral criticism and historical criticism, conveying profound and broad social connotations with the changes in the fate of the characters, revealing the extreme. The disasters inflicted on the people by the Left Line are full of humanitarian spirit. It has achieved the social effect of both elegance and vulgarity, a typical "Chinese film".

Yang Lin smiled and said casually: "Next year, I have two movies to make." One is an action movie with an estimated investment of no less than $50 million. In addition, it is an art film, which also costs about 10 million dollars. ”

Xie Jin's jaw almost dropped in shock, and he glared at Yang Lin: "50 million dollars? To make an art film, it also costs 10 million dollars? Eat money! ”

Nima, even if the yuan is strong, but 10 million US dollars, it will be 40 or 50 million yuan. How much is Beijing Film Studio worth?

The world is crazy!

"Holy!"

Hu Jian suddenly screamed and burst into foul language, startling both Yang Lin and Xie Jin.

Hu Jian's face was flushed, he shook the plan in his hand, glared at Yang Lin and said, "What is written on this is true?" ”

"Nonsense!" Yang Lin pouted: "That's my team, almost a month to make, but you're kidding?" ”

Xie Jin looked at Hu Jian in surprise, not knowing why he was so excited. In his impression, this big man of China Film has always paid attention to his image, is stable and domineering, when has he ever had such a look?

"Ten years, ten billion?" Hu Jian's eyes were like bullfighting, staring at Yang Lin. It seems that if Yang Lin says "tease you", he will pounce and bite Yang Lin to death.

Very satisfied with Hu Jian's reaction, Yang Lin shrugged his shoulders deliberately and said lightly: "This is just a plan, who can say for sure when the time comes?" ”

Hu Jian was furious, stretched his neck and shouted, "Rabbit cub, are you playing with me?" ”

Yang Lin didn't dare to tease him anymore, and said with a smile: "You know, the plan hasn't changed quickly, since it's a plan, who can say for sure what will happen in ten years?" Inflation, labor price increases, plan changes, and price increases are all uncertain factors. If you are more rigorous, 100 billion is far from enough, well, 15 billion, I estimate that it is about the same. ”

Ten years, one and a half billion?

Xie Jin couldn't calm down, and snatched the plan from Hu Jian's hand.

Hu Jian stared at Yang Lin for a while before he exhaled: "You kid, you scared me." ”

Yang Lin shrugged innocently. But I was thinking in my heart, of course I have to scare you, otherwise how can you die hard? Do you think I asked Xie Jin by name to get an autograph?

In the mainland, money is secondary, and connections are the most important.

There is Hu Jian, the boss of China Film, and Xie Jin, the first brother in the director industry, these two people waved their flags and shouted and helped each other, and things have become ordinary.

What's more, there is also the one who was raised from the SAR. Yang is now serving in the middle of the . Han Jiang of the head of the Propaganda Department.

Xie Jin looked at the plan, the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, and the more he looked at it, the more his hands trembled. It's like having a stroke, and I can't control myself.

With a total investment of 10 billion yuan, the project is divided into five phases. The first phase of the project covers an area of 523 acres, with a total construction area of 140,000 square meters, 16 studios, the largest studio of 5,000 square meters, and will also introduce the most advanced production of digital special effects equipment and software.

The base has a studio, a costume and props library, a photography and lighting equipment library, a makeup room, a set workshop, a cutting business room, a film data and digital film production center, a network distribution center, an animation and comic production center, a film and television works dissemination center, an administrative management center, a technology research and development center and public supporting facilities, which will form a financial film and television creation and production, cinema construction and digital film production, printing and processing, film import and export, distribution and screening, film equipment management and marketing, film product development, disc production, The main businesses such as media joint ventures, advertising production, property management, and real estate development are prominent, and a variety of industries are developed together.

At that time, there will be dozens of related companies including production companies, film and television equipment rental companies, costume and props rental companies, post-production companies, animation production companies and so on gathered in this base.

After the completion of the base, it will have an annual production capacity of 80 feature films, 100 digital films, 200 TV movies, 500 episodes of TV dramas and animation films, becoming the first in China, the world's most concentrated and largest film and television pre- and post-production base.

Holy! Xie Jin only felt that the blood in his chest was boiling. If this base is really built, doesn't it mean that Chinese films will step into the world's advanced ranks in one step? If you see such a base built in your lifetime, carrying the dream of Chinese films taking off, it will be enough for this life, right?

This is a real filmmaker, a Chinese filmmaker. The first thing he thought of was how Chinese movies would benefit, but he didn't think at all how much benefit he would have.

This is the filmmakers of that era, the real selflessness, the real dedication, the real unrequited. They are so lofty that people look up, and their shining light is so dazzling that people dare not look at them directly.

After taking a few breaths, Xie Jin said solemnly: "Boy, I knew that you had to get me, there must be some plan." Tell me, do something you want me to do. As long as I can toss this old bone, I will never refuse. ”

Yang Lin said to Hu Jian next to him: "I don't know, is Zhongying interested in joining in?" (To be continued......)
