The preliminary plan of the water town project has been unanimously approved by the city leaders. The approval of the preliminary plan means that the overall framework has reached a consensus. The city leaders will not interfere with the construction process of the entire project. As long as the water town as a whole does not deviate from today's plan, The remaining Wanying Real Estate has absolute decision-making power.
What the city will focus on next is the support and help the entire project needs during its launch. After all, it is a large-scale cultural tourism real estate project that the city participates in and fully supports. According to the leadership, the city will provide all reasonable support. Help to ensure that this project is implemented better and faster.
This also means that the water town project can officially start construction.
Li Mu handed over the follow-up work to Wanying's team, of which Wei Lan and Song Liang were the main persons in charge. Wei Lan had a strong view of the overall situation, broad vision, and long-term vision. Song Liang had high execution ability and was good at relationship coordination and real estate development. Project construction is under control, so when the two of them work together, Li Mu basically has nothing to worry about.
After the meeting, Li Mu held a separate meeting with several major leaders in the city. At this meeting, Li Mu presented to them his plan for the film and television base.
When the city leaders first heard that Li Mu was going to build a film and television base, they didn't take it seriously at first. Li Mu is the most famous entrepreneur in Yanjing and a world-class business card for the development of Yanjing enterprises. If Li Mu wants to build a film and television base in Yanjing, For a film and television base, the city will naturally give it the green light. In other words, in the eyes of the city leaders, there is no need for Li Mu to come to them personally to do a project roadshow for this kind of project. It is just a film and television base. How big can it be? A few thousand acres of land would be a big deal.
However, when Li Muzhen began to introduce the project, the city leaders were shocked by Li Muzhen.
The first phase is ten square kilometers...
The second phase is thirty square kilometers...
The third phase is seventy square kilometers...
The fourth stage breaks through 100 square kilometers...
What is the one hundred square kilometers of film and television base used for
The city leaders were dumbfounded and said to Li Mu: "Your plan for the film and television base is several times larger than the combined area of the three terminals of the Capital Airport... "
Li Mu nodded and said: "This is indeed the case in terms of total area. We want to build a Chinese film and television drama production base in Yanjing to realize a one-stop process for film and television dramas from project preparation and team building, to on-site shooting, post-editing, and special effects production. Serve."
The leader of the cultural department asked Li Mu: "There doesn't seem to be much advantage in developing the film and television industry in Yanjing, right? We in Yanjing are short of land and the cost of land use is high. If we build a large-area film and television base, land resources will be a big problem. "
Li Mu said: "In fact, judging from the trend of global economic development, industrial concentration is a trend in all walks of life. The United States has Silicon Valley and Hollywood, and we now have Zhongguancun. Needless to say, Silicon Valley's position in the world's Internet field is almost convergent. The world's top high-tech enterprises and top high-tech talents have gathered together. This kind of industrial concentration will greatly strengthen the advantages of the concentration in this industry field, especially the talent advantage. More than half of the world's top high-tech talents are in In the U.S., most of this is in Silicon Valley.”
"The same goes for Zhongguancun. Yanjing has long started to support high-tech Internet companies, establishing development zones, formulating subsidies and preferential support policies for these companies. This has allowed Zhongguancun to attract more than half of the domestic Internet companies, thus making Zhongguancun the center of China. In Little Silicon Valley, most computer-related talents in the country are now thinking of gathering in Yanjing. Related resources in the Internet industry are also gathering in Yanjing. Resources and talents are concentrated in Yanjing. Yanjing has naturally become the best place for start-up companies. As the choices continue to snowball, Zhongguancun’s influence in the Internet industry will only grow. This is the advantage of industrial concentration.”
Speaking, Li Mu added: "As for movies, we can take a look at Hollywood's operating model. Hollywood, like Silicon Valley, is also a standard model of industrial concentration. It not only brings together almost all large film and television companies, but also builds the world's largest film and television industry. The base also brings together the world's best actors, directors, screenwriters and other practitioners. Even post-production and computer special effects in the film and television industry are also leading the world. These advantages will eventually form not only Hollywood's industry in the film industry The advantage is not only the unique tourism industry advantage of Hollywood, but also the huge cultural advantage of the entire American culture spread to the world through the film industry."
City leaders asked Li Mu: "Is Wanying Real Estate planning to build a Chinese Hollywood in Yanjing?"
"That's right." Li Mu nodded and said, "Not just Wanying Real Estate, but also Makino Technology, Makino Image and Taobao Technology."
The city leader asked again: “What do you think are the advantages of this project?”
Li Mu said truthfully: "The advantage is that China has achieved a high degree of concentration in the film and television industry. Now the total domestic film and television drama production is getting larger and larger. This tests the overall carrying capacity of domestic film and television resources. For example, it is now relatively popular Qing palace dramas, from "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" to the present, various Qing palace dramas have been released continuously. However, behind the scenes, there are a large number of Qing palace drama projects that cannot be launched due to hardware problems. They either wait or give up. There is almost no third clause. You can choose your path."
"hardware problem?"
"Yes, this hardware problem mainly refers to the shooting location."
Li Mu said: "After the popularity of "Huan Zhuge Ge", the audience's demand for palace dramas has been unprecedentedly high. A large number of film and television companies and satellite TV stations are interested in filming palace dramas. However, there are too few domestic venues suitable for filming such palace dramas. Near Yanjing It’s the Mountain Resort, and Hengdian Cinema is to the south. The Mountain Resort itself is a tourist attraction, so its carrying capacity for the crew is limited, so most of the domestic palace drama crews go to Hengdian to seize the few hardware resources.”
The leader of the cultural department said: "I know something about Hengdian. They are developing very fast now, and the local government has strong support. The local economic development level is not high, and the land cost and construction cost are much lower than that of Yanjing. Overall, Come on, I think Hengdian’s development speed should be very fast.”
Li Mu shook his head and said: "Hengdian has just begun to transform into industrial centralization. Although Hengdian is developing relatively fast, it has a very big disadvantage, that is, it is far away from Yanjing and Shanghai. Especially in Yanjing, it would be a waste of manpower and material resources for the actors and crew to go to Hengdian. Most of the best domestic actors live in Yanjing. If the film and television base can be placed around Yanjing, it will save a lot of time, energy, financial and material resources for the crew."
After that, Li Mu added: "Another very important issue is that Hengdian can only work on the hardware of the film and television city, such as building a Ming and Qing palace complex, a Republic of China-style building complex, and a Qin palace complex, but this It's just hardware. All the crews filming in Hengdian have to rush to Hengdian from all directions, then close the filming in Hengdian, and finally bring the entire film to Yanjing or Shanghai for post-production. Hengdian is far from being a one-stop shop. 'To solve the problem of film and television drama production, our film and television base project is to build a truly 'one-stop' large-scale industrial center in Yanjing that solves the domestic film and television drama production needs. By that time, the crew can be established here, Shooting here, recruiting extras here, and doing post-production here, Hengdian is too uninfluential."
A leader said: "We can understand the Hollywood model, and we can also understand the one-stop service concept you mentioned, but it doesn't require dozens or hundreds of square kilometers of land! What is such a large area used for? ?”
Li Mu switched the PPT to the page of the overall structure planning and introduced: "What we want to do is to build at least dozens of large-scale film and television scenes. For example, we can imitate a Summer Palace or even a Forbidden City here. We can also build it here. We build blocks of different styles in various eras and regions, and even surreal scenes with science fiction and supernatural themes. In short, we try every means to cater to the needs of the crew;"
"In addition, we also need to build supporting tourism industry construction in the entire film and television base. There are some large-scale scenes with different styles to meet the shooting needs of various film and television dramas. Not only that, in our planning, We will build an office area and living area inside the film and television base to provide offices and business spaces for small and medium-sized enterprises in the film and television field, and provide more complete services for the crew, such as equipment rental, production of film and television costumes and props, provision of catering for the crew, and more importantly The most important thing is that we need to include film and television post-production companies into our film and television base project. It is possible that a TV series is being filmed on the scene two streets away, and rough editing and editing of previously filmed content have already begun here. Later modifications can greatly save each crew’s shooting time and shooting costs.”
“All the investment in the scenes, in addition to being rented to the crew for filming, can be opened to the public for a fee during non-shooting time, allowing them to visit and experience the on-site scenes of various TV series productions, which in turn will stimulate tourism in the entire film and television base. income."
After saying this, Li Mu paused for a moment and then said: "In my opinion, the most suitable city in the country to be a large-scale film and television base is Yanjing. Yanjing has a strong cultural heritage, convenient urban transportation, and rich cultural heritage." Tourism resources. With so many tourists in Yanjing every year, they are potential customers for the film and television base. They can quickly attract a large number of tourists to the film and television base. Not only that, we also have the largest number of film and television talents in the country, as well as four leading film and television theaters. Schools, including Yanjing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Huaxia Communication University and School of Art and Media of Yanjing Normal University, together, the advantages are unparalleled."
"There is another very important advantage, that is, it is located in the same city as Zhongguancun. In the future, the film and television industry will increasingly use high and new technologies. With Zhongguancun as a high-tech industrial center, the technical talents needed by film and television post-production companies will be there. There is a huge guarantee! Therefore, it is the right time, the right place and the right people to start the film and television industry in Yanjing."
