Hengdian Film and Television City, which is different from the 'history', has entered a period of rapid development since 1991, when the Hong Kong Light and Shadow Film Company invested 500 million Hong Kong dollars.

In particular, since 1994, Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group has invested a total of 4 billion yuan to build 13 film and television shooting bases spanning thousands of years of history and time, bringing together the characteristics of the north and south regions, such as Guangzhou Street, Hong Kong Street, Ming and Qing Dynasty Palaces, Qinwang Palace, Qingming Riverside Map, Huaxia Cultural Park, Ming and Qing Dynasty Residential Expo City, Dream Valley, Pingyan Cave Mansion, Dazhi Temple, etc., which have become the world's largest film and television shooting bases.

Here in Hengdian, all the elements of film and television production can be found, such as props, costumes, power generation vehicles, transport vehicles, fireworks, makeup, extras, special actors, etc. It can be said that when you come to Hengdian to film, a crew only needs the director to bring a few leading actors, and everything else can be found in Hengdian.

Founded in 1996, the special effects company has become the largest and most advanced computer special effects company in Asia after four years of development, not only undertaking Asian film special effects, but also accepting the outsourcing business of North American subsidiaries. In recent years, Hollywood special effects blockbusters have become dominant, and Hong Kong and mainland films have also followed the trend, which has really made the development of special effects companies rapid and become a city card of Hangzhou.

The film and television city plus special effects company, coupled with the intentional diffusion of some low-end technologies of light and shadow, coupled with the synchronization of technology with Hollywood, and the relatively low cost, have formed a complete film and television production industry in Hengdian, a little-known town in the past.

After Sun Ziming and his entourage visited Zhangjiajie, they didn't even go to the special effects company in Hangzhou, so they came directly to Hengdian Film and Television City to visit.

Regarding Uncle Zeng's arrangement, which did not follow the principle of convenience, Sun Tzu pretended not to know, and took everyone around with great interest. Everyone eats a bowl of rice, and Sun Ziming's arrival made the entire Hengdian fall into excitement, followed by a large group of directors, actors, and reporters everywhere.

However, the layman looks at the excitement, and the insider looks at the doorway. After a few days in the film and television city, all the shortcomings of Hengdian were exposed in the eyes of these experts.

"Ming, these extras are really inferior!"

James's disdain made Sun Ziming, who was already absent-minded, shrug his shoulders to show helplessness, these extras only regard acting as a means of making a living, while those extras in Hollywood regard acting as an ideal. The starting point of the two is different, and the level of nature is immediately superior. Besides, Hollywood attracts talents from all over the world, and those who are interested in acting, and even the waiters in cafes may have studied acting, how can this be compared?

Compared with domestic TV dramas and American dramas, there is an obvious difference, that is, American dramas are very harmonious, there is nothing that looks abrupt, even passers-by who do not show their faces are performing hard; As long as you watch domestic dramas a little more carefully, those passers-by A and passer-by B are simply humanoid props, and their expressions and movements are perfunctory.

Sun Ziming's explanation is very reasonable, but Jill who follows behind him does not think so. Sooner or later, the two lights and shadows will merge, whether it is George becoming the president or Hong Kong's Xiang, as a member of the light and shadow, she will speak out and propose solutions when she sees problems.

"Boss, I don't think the cause of the problem is that simple. I read some information yesterday that your country's TV drama production reached 9,948 episodes last year,"

Yes? Sun Ziming, who was looking at those reporters with his eyes, was startled, and hurriedly interrupted: "Jill, there are so many in a year? ”

"Yes, it is said that it will definitely exceed 10,000 episodes this year, and Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group alone produced 714 episodes last year."

Jill said very strictly, but Sun Ziming, who was shocked, could not deny it, it seems that the two groups are going to merge, and it is beginning to touch everyone's sensitive nerves. Hong Kong Satellite TV produces 714 episodes of TV dramas a year, all of which are carefully coordinated, if there is no such high output, how to feed Hong Kong Satellite TV and Hanjiang Satellite TV?

Besides, which great actor is not sharpened by a lot of bad movies?

Oh, and I can't say that, there are also many Hollywood actors who really don't need to be sharpened by bad movies. However, that's because they have been participating in various stage plays since they were teenagers, and after moving to the big screen, they only need to change their exaggerated performances to restrained, and there is no such advantage in China at all.

Now a large amount of social funds are pouring into the film and television industry, although it has disrupted the market, but why not accelerate the development of this industry? Capital is always profit-seeking, but it is even more sober, but those investors find that this industry is not as profitable as they imagined, and most of them will naturally withdraw, but they have left a large number of experienced talents in this industry, and it is not cost-effective to use other people's money to cultivate talents?

Sun Ziming's explanation stunned Gil, who had never considered this aspect since she learned about the chaos yesterday. In her opinion, this is a manifestation of the chaos of the industry, and Hong Kong Light and Shadow Group, as a giant in the industry, should change this phenomenon instead of letting it go.

"It's nothing, the Hollywood mechanics are fully mature, and we're still in the stage of savage growth. Hehe, to catch up with Hollywood, maybe we will need another twenty to thirty years. ”

"No, no", Jill shook his head firmly despite Sun Ziming's explanation, "Boss, I don't think your idea is right. ”

Well? Sun Tzu, who was standing in the shade of the tree, was stunned for a moment, and sat down first, before motioning for Jill to sit down as well, and elaborating on her opinion. How many pounds he has, Sun Ziming himself knows best, if there are no 'memories', with real ability, he is not worthy of lifting shoes for this woman.

"Boss, we are leaders in this industry, and we should set the rules in our favor and stifle a possible competitor instead of letting those speculators seize the opportunity to make ...... bigger."

The more Jill spoke, the more excited he became, the more Sun Ziming listened, the more strict he became, but Wu Yijiang, who had been following beside him, was in a cold sweat when he listened.

In the past seven or eight years, in addition to one movie after another, he has spent the rest of his time in Hengdian, Hainan, and Jiaozuo in the three film and television cities, and he is very familiar with the domestic film and television drama production.

Domestic film and television drama productions, if you want to classify, can be roughly divided into three types, one is the TV station, regular film companies make their own zuò. The advantage of this model is that it is guaranteed, whether it is funding, salary, or quality, it is also the favorite model of many stars. For those actors, the money they get is money, such as the four major Hong Kong film companies, TVB, Hong Kong Satellite TV, and CCTV and other TV stations, although the salary is lower than that provided by some film and television production companies, there will be no salary arrears, or even default. Moreover, after the release of the film, the subsequent VCD, overseas distribution and other revenue sharing will also be given to the director and actors according to the agreement, and there will never be anything that secretly cheats people.

The second is the production of some private film and television companies in China, they give high salaries, and they can also help directors and actors avoid taxes, but the whole operation is not so formal, and arrears of remuneration are a common thing, not to mention the sharing of follow-up income. Of course, they are also quite good, at least they will admit their accounts, and they will only be in arrears after the investment fails, and they will not turn their faces and deny people and accounts.

The last one is the most feared by actors, but it is the most common - the grass team. Some people with connections or power in the circle first half-deceived and half-forced star actors to sign contracts with the script, and then used the star's agreement to fool investors, and he was a white wolf in the middle. The investment was successful, he made a lot of money in the middle, and if the investment failed, he bankrupted the company, and he made the investor's money, and he could also rely on the actor's salary.

Celebrities and agents are indeed not stupid, but if the head of this grass team is someone who is a leader, or someone who is a big man in the circle, who dares not to sign the agreement? What's more, the domestic brokerage system is not perfect, except for the light and shadow group has a formal brokerage company, the rest of the brokerage companies are not strong and informal. In order to protect their own interests, mainland celebrities have to find agents from their relatives and friends, and the trust is enough, but how can they withstand the pressure and deception in all aspects?

These situations do not need to be explained by Wu Yijiang, Sun Ziming is too familiar. He 'before' been in this circle for more than 20 years, how could he not know these things? The entire Chinese entertainment industry is a river and lake full of sects!

"Ah Yi, what do you think?"

Sun Ziming's calm expression made Wu Yijiang wipe his sweat on a hot day, squeaked a few times, and then said in a low voice: "Brother Ming, what Miss Jill said is right, but now is not the time." ”

"Getting to the point!"

"Yes", Wu Yijiang gritted his teeth and said respectfully: "Brother Ming, the water is too deep here. Although our light and shadow are rich and powerful, the audit power is in the hands of others. Although Mr. Bo and the others have a lot of connections in the Radio and Television Bureau and can help us a lot, if their interests are touched, they will definitely turn against us. ”

Wu Yijiang's meaning is very clear, those who dare to empty the white wolf are all powerful people, and the senior management of the mainland branch of his group must also be involved. Those bastards won't necessarily do these shitty things, but they will definitely have something to do with those rotten people.

Sun Ziming couldn't help but squint his eyes, remembering the establishment of a branch in Beiping, Bo Kejian relied on his father's power to force Zhang Hong and her cousin to give up some of the shares. After so many years, although that kid was a bit of a bully at the beginning, he still has a way of doing things, and "The Three Sisters of the Song Family", which was released in China in the first half of the year, has not been cut, isn't it his credit?

Wu Yijiang has followed Sun Ziming for ten years, from the smallest actor to an international superstar, and also manages the three major film and television cities under the Light and Shadow Group, his loyalty is beyond doubt. Seeing that his boss began to squint, and his fingers were still beside him and began to 'play the piano', Wu Yijiang was afraid that his boss would not know the situation in the mainland, so he hurriedly whispered: "Brother Ming, you have to think twice, they are not just a small group of people in the circle, and the involvement behind is too big!" ”

"I know," Sun Ziming replied casually, getting up and walking towards the reporters who had begun to commotion. It seems that what should come will come after all. I just don't know if that ruthless man in the Middle East will be more ruthless than he remembers!
