Chapter Seventy-Seven: Expansion Plan
Sending Chu Xiya away, Li Xianyun returned to filming again.
However, after those big-name artists left, Dong Zixin was already in control of the situation, so Li Xianyun simply let it go and handed it over to him, while he focused on the company's affairs and the six theaters that would cooperate with Lixin.
In these six theaters, Li Xianyun plans to make some modern dramas - there are too many ghost films made before, and the aesthetics are tired. Now that there is a car accident ghost, he can finally shoot a modern drama.
Thinking of this, Li Xianyun suddenly felt that it was time to develop a commercial area.
He called Jiang Zheng directly, "Old Jiang, what do you think we should do to develop the commercial area early?" ”
"What?" Jiang Zheng was stunned.
"There's no modern scene." Li Xianyun gave a general explanation of the situation.
Speaking of which, what the major film and television centers lack the most is probably the scenes of modern dramas.
The reason is simple, it doesn't attract tourists.
Where can you not see modern high-rise buildings? Want to run to your attractions to see?
In addition, those who shoot modern dramas generally like landmark buildings, and they can't afford to shoot just a building, such as Brother Long, who is really a landmark building all over the world, and he almost didn't get on the Empire State Building to do a plane.
But the need for venues for modern theatre still exists.
Take "I Am Legend" as an example.
This film is also a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions, but the actors are almost a person and a dog.
There are no special effects other than zombies.
Where does the money go?
It's the venue!
In order to shoot the abandoned appearance of the city, the crew directly spent a lot of money to contract the Fifth Avenue, which is worth every inch of land, for two days, and all the shops were closed!
America's busiest street closed for two days!
How much does it cost?
What's more, this is just one street, and I am a legend and not only one street.
Cities don't just close your roads!
If you close the road, you have to give money, you have to get through the relationship, you have to get through the government and the business, and you can't miss a single one!
But if one of them doesn't accept it, the street won't be used.
But the cinema is different, although the road closure still has to be closed, and the money must be paid, but the cost is definitely much lower than outside - the demand of the merchants will be much lower than the boutiques in the city, and even the contract will stipulate this.
Of course, some producers have a way and may be able to get a lower-cost lot outside, but another advantage of this is that it saves transfer costs and time.
After filming the exterior here, turn around and go directly to the studio, there is no need to transfer.
It is very troublesome to move things and personnel around, it takes half a day to transfer in the city, if it is a full day in the cross-city transfer, it is three or four days across the country, and the time on the pure road is still calculated.
A lot of time is spent on the road.
A large-scale production that lasted for several months or even more than half a year, transferred to more than 10 places in the world, and the time on the road alone can take a month.
At that time, Jiangcheng built a European city and built a world landmark building, which was convenient for film and television shooting.
It's a pity that it didn't work well, and it was abandoned in the end.
But Li Xianyun's side, itself is a commercial area, as long as it is not a landmark building, it is easy to do, the most important thing is that Li Xianyun their holographic projection is still under development, one of the main directions is the site set, his peripheral commercial area is made of containers, a very important reason is that it is convenient to transform.
In this way, it may be possible to temporarily transform various buildings into local landmarks in the future.
Knowing Li Xianyun's idea, Jiang Zheng didn't quite agree, "Then you can't go to develop the commercial area in advance just to make a few movies, right?" This approach is a bit of a reversal of priorities. ”
"That's what I thought." Li Xianyun said, "The investment in the ghost town has been put in place, but we still have extra money on our books, and we will have more than 1 billion yuan this year, and I don't know how to spend it." Didn't Lan Yuan give us the 800 acres? 5,300 acres of land is better than 4,500 acres, isn't it? When the time comes, we'll just have a round of capital increase. ”
Jiang Zheng thought about it and felt that it still made some sense, "But now these six still don't use the commercial area." ”
"These theaters will not be available until next year at the earliest. Now that construction is underway, the business district should be almost up by then. You don't need a building.,The drama of a high-rise building.,Either go outside to find a scene.,Or it's a studio.,This depends on the book.。 The key is that with Zhou Shijie, modern dramas can be on the agenda early. By the way, the planning of the commercial area should also be slightly modified, preferably to provide some space for the speed show. ”
"There aren't that many places, I'll see you renovate the natural area then. Once it is fully perfected, there will not be much room for development of the film and television base, and it will be the final place for improvement. ”
"It's agricultural land, and you have to report it to the county government. I'm going to dig the ground and build the hill when the time comes. Li Xianyun changed Xiao Ze Mountain to Pingding Mountain, and the heart of digging three feet into the ground will not die, but this part must be invested with normal profits after the full construction of the ghost town is completed.
Jiang Zheng laughed, "There is no rush to dig a hole in the ground, as for the expansion of the commercial area, I think as long as the business is good, there is no big problem." ”
"That's okay, go back and have a board meeting, tell them, if they don't agree, we'll make a ghost town district by ourselves, and don't blame me for draining and taking advantage of them when the time comes."
Jiang Zhengle said, "You kid can do it now, you are bold and black-hearted, and you have taken a big step in the key steps!" ”
Li Xianyun also smiled: "Didn't you say that?" Think about Ruixin Coffee, think about Spell Xixi, it will be listed in two or three years, I have been hanging all the way to now, and it has been more than three years, this achievement, not a fart. ”
"You, I think you have money to burn." Jiang Zheng laughed, "That's okay, I'll go back to the board of directors." I don't think the problem is big in the general direction, but there will be a round of quarrels in the details, and you will make some concessions when the time comes, and you don't have to take out all the money. ”
"No problem." Li Xianyun readily agreed.
The proposal for the expansion of the business district has not yet been submitted, and the news of Chu Xiya has come back a day later.
Or the words "Li Dong, do you have time?" I want to talk to you? ”
Seeing the news, Li Xianyun smiled and replied to her, "It's been a busy past two days, and it's hard to find time." ”
"What about the day after tomorrow? I want to invite you to dinner, and by the way, I also want to talk to you about cooperation, and I also have some ideas, I think you will be interested. ”
"Come to think of it, I'm not sure if I'll be busy or not."
"Dong Li, give it a chance, I won't let you down again."
Li Xianyun smiled, "Okay, I'll schedule you." ”
Putting down the phone, Li Xianyun said outside, "Chen Yu, do I have any arrangements for tonight?" ”
"Nope. Most invitations you declined. The square-faced female secretary came in and replied.
"Then arrange a random one, I happen to have time today."
"Mr. Chen next door wants to invite you to dinner."
"No problem."
Chen Yu turned to leave.
"By the way, which Mr. Chen?" Li Xianyun asked.
