Chapter 297: Building a New Studio?

After dealing with the affairs of the General Fan Association, Han Li turned his attention to the company again.

Although he really wanted to participate in the military fan culture week he proposed, he didn't have much time.

Back to the company, Han Li plunged headlong into the film and television post-production and special effects production studio. Because he was busy during this time, he didn't take care of this side all the time.

Although it is said to be an independent studio, in terms of shares and even jurisdiction, Han Li still has the right or responsibility to guide and formulate the development direction of the studio.

And Du Juan, the person in charge of the studio, also told Han Li many times to ask him to take some time to take care of the studio more, but he never had time.

No, the affairs of the company and the school have been dealt with almost well, and with Du Juan's urging, Han Li came.

And the reason why Du Juan urged Han Li so much was mainly because there were a few things to decide, so she was anxious to let him take the idea.

Walking into the office area of the studio, I saw the employees who were busy. Han Li asked Du Juan on the side: "Look at everyone's busy, what's the matter, there are a lot of projects in the studio." ”

Du Juan nodded and smiled: "Well, didn't we take over the post-production and special effects production of a few anti-Japanese dramas before, and the response was good." Coupled with the recommendations of these directors and our cheap production prices, there are a lot of dramas at once. There are even some small-budget films that have been approached by us for production.

According to our current production schedule, I am afraid that the completion of the project at hand will not be until April next year. ”

"So much?" Han Li was surprised.

Du Juan shook her head when she heard this: "It's all small projects, not much money, and these projects add up to only seven or eight million." Coupled with our early investment and related consumption, we can't make any money at all. ”

After Han Li heard Du Juan's somewhat frustrated words, he smiled and waved his hand and said, "Hey, you can't say that." Our upfront investment is a must, and it is also a long-term benefit, and it cannot be counted in one or two projects alone.

And our studio has only been established for a short time, so I'm very satisfied with the current results, isn't it? Besides, according to the figure you said, it's not far from us recovering the upfront investment cost, isn't it? ”

Han Li's words made Du Juan nod, and then said: "Although these small projects are not very difficult, the cycle is not long. Although the money is relatively small, there is still some profit margin.

But compared to those big projects, it's still not enough.

That's what I thought, and when the money comes down, I'm going to expand the studio. I plan to use the money to build a larger indoor studio, so that I can take on some post-production shooting tasks. This will increase our studio's capabilities in post-production special effects, which will increase revenue.

At present, our company's studio is too small, and we can only shoot some small shots. Like larger scenes and shots, you can't do it at all.

I don't know much about the post-production process, but I do know that it's hard and poor to just use special effects.

Therefore, at present, the international general response is to use a combination of real scenes and special effects for shooting. Close-up shots are built with live action, while medium and long shots are created using special effects and post-compositing.

For this matter, Wen Feng (Wei Wenfeng) reacted to me many times. And like some of the shots in our project that need to be shot in real time, they are all rented from other people's studios for shooting, and the price is very expensive. ”

Hearing Du Juan's words, Han Li thought for a moment, then frowned and said, "The most expensive thing in building a studio is not the equipment, but the venue.

At present, there is a ready-made site in Anxi that is enough for us to rent, if we buy land to build it ourselves, I am afraid that the money you make is far from enough. ”

"It's true that venue is a big issue." Du Juan nodded and said, "After I had this intention, the first thing that came to mind was the question of the venue. I checked, and there are no suitable indoor spaces for us to rent at the moment, and even if some of them meet the requirements, they are very expensive and we can't afford them.

But if it is newly built, it will be a huge amount of money in terms of land and construction costs alone. Even with the support of the company, it is difficult to bear.

So, I made the venue the core issue and prerequisite for us to build the studio. Only when this problem is solved, can we be qualified to build our own large-scale studio. ”

Seeing him nodded, Du Juan said with a smile: "However, there is a great opportunity in front of us at present. If we can take advantage of this opportunity, we will be able to get a studio site at a very small cost, and it will be a ready-made venue. ”

"Oh, what a chance." Han Li's eyes lit up, and then asked.

Du Juan smiled and said, "Before I make this suggestion to you, I must do some preparatory homework in the early stage. So in response to this thorny problem, I told Junzi (Wei Jun, Du Juan's fiancΓ©). Let him help me inquire about it and see if it's a good one.

After this inquiry, not to mention, there is just an opportunity.

Speaking of this, Du Juan glanced at Han Li, raised her tone and said excitedly: "That's the case, in the northwest of our Anxi, that is, near the railway station and along the railway, it turned out to be our Anxi's textile industrial zone.

In the past, in the eighties and nineties, this textile industrial zone has always been the center of light industry in Anxi, and it is also an important pillar industry in Anxi.

However, with the development of society and economy, especially the development of the textile industry along the coast, the textile industrial area of Anxi has gradually declined.

Many of the textile factories in this industrial area have also closed down, and it has become a very chaotic old town.

Because there are a large number of such factories here, and there are many former employee communities. Coupled with the problems of employee layoffs and job placement, a mess has been put on hold.

The previous editions have ignored this place, resulting in this area becoming the most dirty and messy area in the entire Anxi. And this session has the heart to gnaw this hard bone and is determined to renovate the old city here.

At the heart of the renovation is the relocation of the residents. And these houses and factories built in the sixties and seventies of the last century were demolished, and then they were re-planned and developed on top of them. ”

"You mean we have the opportunity to get a piece of land from here and build a studio?" Han Li interrupted Du Juan's words and asked.

Du Juan shook her head and said, "Don't worry, listen to me."

This area is very large, so there are many different opinions on the planning of this area. In the end, after the investigation of the expert group and the opinions of all parties, the area was divided into five or six functional zones.

Let's not talk about other subdivisions, let's just say that this area is southeast of the area, adjacent to the wetland park.

After the investigation of the expert group, it was found that the damage to the factories and some old buildings in this area was relatively light, and some of the old buildings were of great historical significance and were not recommended to be demolished. ”
