Chapter 178： East Hollywood

"Almighty Checkin( to find the latest chapter!

It is also a large-scale production with high investment, and there is a big difference before and after the era of high-paying actors.

They all spent so much money, but most of the latter's money was taken away by the actors, or because of some other reasons, there was not much money really invested in the production.

The former is different. Most of the funds for a play are spent on props and scenery, and the actors' remuneration accounts for a much more reasonable proportion of the entire funding.

It is said that Xiaoxiao Media's investment of 20 to 30 million US dollars in the drama "Hero" is equivalent to more than 200 million US dollars in the current exchange ratio of US dollars and Huaxia coins. A large part of the budget was spent on the set.

Many Chinese movie fans can notice a phenomenon, that is, the directors of the generation of Laomouzi and Kaizi, especially the two top domestic directors, have the heart of an architect.

Think about Kaizi, almost every big movie will build a film and television city. It cooperates with the local government for a win-win situation. Every year, the dividend alone is a huge sum of money that ordinary people can't earn for several lifetimes.

Brother Kai is like this, and Laomouzi is not too different.

The filming of "Hero" Xiaoxiao Media was so generous and gave so much money, Laomouzi was not polite at all.

You can spend it if you dare to give it to me.

Don't think I can't spend it all, look, isn't a film and television city under construction?

Tang Lu's audition was not a problem at all. Her own strength was up to the standard, and her image was suitable. In addition, it was recommended by Xu Ang herself, so Lao Mouzi would definitely save face.

Unless it is the kind of strength that is too bad to see, otherwise this role will not fall on others.

After the audition, Laomouzi asked Tang Lu to take a makeup photo, and he discussed with Xu Ang about the film and television city.

"I have already made an agreement with the local government. We will fund the construction of this film and television city, and we will open the film and television city after the filming. In the future, tourists will be fine, whether it will be for the crew who rent the space of the film and television city for filming. The company pays dividends.”

The company that Laomouzi mentioned was naturally Xiaoxiao Media, who made him and his old partner Wei Ping's film and television company not an investor in the drama "Hero".

Even if you don’t have any money, you still want to take a piece of the pie, and you take yourself too seriously.

If Laomouzi is on Weiping's side, Weiping still has a bargaining chip, but Laomouzi is also a shareholder of Xiaoxiao Media, people can't be on your side of Weiping, Weiping can only watch Sigh.

So, friendship will disappear, right?

In this era, many people actually don't understand a truth: the better friends, the less they can do business together.

Countless friends in the film and television business circle and other circles have turned their faces, and the fact of turning friends into enemies has proved the correctness of this sentence.

"There's one thing I don't quite understand."

Lao Mouzi asked the question he had been holding back for a long time.

"Why did you designate in this little-known town?"

Xu Ang did not answer Lao Mouzi's question, but instead asked: "Is the scenery of Hengdian not good enough?"

"Good or good, I'm just curious how you found this place? See what Director Xu means, is he going to invest heavily and continue to develop it?"

China has 9.6 million square kilometers of land, and there are many places with beautiful scenery, but Lao Mouzi found out that there are not many places that can be stronger than Hengdian after careful comparison. This comparison is an all-round comparison from the aspects of environment, transportation, climate, and the expansion of the film and television city after the geographical location, rather than just one aspect.

If compared individually, Yokogawa's advantage is not obvious, but when combined, it is very prominent.

Xu Ang expressed his thoughts: "I don't plan to retrofit the land that the company got in Peiping. After all, Peiping has a long history and many scenic spots and historical sites. After all, our film and television city is built in modern times. The power is greatly reduced. Therefore, the film and television base in Peiping should be modernized and fashionable, and I will make it a shooting base for fashion dramas and modern dramas. Moreover, the architectural fashion and modernity can also show the style of our country, so that foreigners who come to Peiping People see our progress and know that we are not the backward, poor country that their media promotes."

Political correctness is the key.

"Corresponding to the film and television base in Peiping, Hengdian is the place. I plan to use this place to shoot ancient costume dramas, historical dramas and other retro-themed dramas, so the construction of ancient buildings should be concentrated here. This is the first step, naturally Zhang Directing the "Hero" you're about to shoot."

Hearing Xu Ang's words, Lao Mouzi's eyes flashed. He didn't show anything on the surface, but he was actually shocked by Xu Ang's plan.

This young man is very ambitious.

If he really wants to do it, Xiaoxiao Media will make a huge sum of money every year even if it sits on the ground and collects money. Not to mention that if the two major film and television bases are in hand, the increase in the right to speak in the industry is an unusual weight.

I'm afraid that many of my colleagues in the future will look up to him.

Laomouzi seemed to be emotional and said with a hint of inquiry: "The investment is not small Xu Ang nodded: "It is indeed not small. Director Zhang, you said that if I invest 3 billion here, will Hengdian spend 30 to 50 square kilometers to build a film and television city with us. "

"Three billion!"

Laomouzi almost broke his merits, but fortunately he stabilized at the last moment and did not show his shock.

In this small town, if you sign a 3 billion investment project with them, believe it or not, the local government will treat you as a bodhisattva.

"I'm not joking, Director Zhang, you all think that the environment here is good and the scenery is beautiful. It is absolutely possible to develop the industry of vacation, sightseeing, tourism and leisure while developing film and television, and make it a comprehensive tourist area. ."

Xu Ang looked at Lao Mouzi with a very serious expression on his face: "The United States has Hollywood, and American film and television people regard Hollywood as their pride. Why can't we Chinese film and television people create our own Hollywood?"

"Oriental Hollywood!"

Lao Mouzi's eyes lit up.

It has to be said that the prospect depicted by Xu Ang made Lao Mouzi very moved.

Of course, if it were someone else, Laomouzi wouldn't be like this, because they didn't have as much wealth and billions of dollars as Xu Ang.

In the past, Laomouzi only knew that Xu Ang, the boss behind Xiaoxiao Media, had a lot of money, but he didn't expect Xu Ang to be so rich.

He is ready to spend 3 billion in just one Hengdian. If you include the investment in the Beiping headquarters, how much will it cost.

For the first time, Laomouzi has such a profound understanding of the four words rich is good.

No money?

You are not even qualified to talk about your dreams.

"Director Xu is so thoughtful, it's better for me to match up and ask the local high-ranking officials to come out and talk."

"Director Zhang's willingness to help me is something I can't ask for. Then make an appointment so that I can have a professional negotiating team come over to discuss this matter."
