After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 392 To be precise, it is the entire Asian market!
Things have already happened, complaining is useless, the most important thing is to solve the problem.

Li Mingyang's solution to the problem lies in the four little beauties.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei, as the four major 85 flowers in the domestic entertainment industry, their value has not yet been fully reflected.

Yang Mi is the traffic queen and can bring actors to success, which is her most amazing thing.

But Liu Yifei is different. She is unique and beautiful, with an absurdly thick health bar. She is the darling of capital and the rose of investment.

"Sister Lan, why are you here too?" Liu Yifei saw Xie Lan and immediately went over to say hello.

Xie Lan was stunned and didn't really want to say hello to Liu Yifei, but Liu Yifei was too enthusiastic and rushed over directly.

"I've been working here recently." Xie Lan pushed Liu Yifei away and said.

"Working here?" Liu Yifei tilted her head, eyes full of confusion.

"Sister Nan, you haven't finished get off work yet, it's just right, you can come along and explain it to them, I can't even remember what this place does."

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei turned around and looked at Li Mingyang at the same time.

Liu Yifei: You can’t even remember it, and you still brought us here?

Yang Mi: It’s probably…something erotic again!

More than an hour later.

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei stood in front of a huge map of Dongda University, their faces filled with shock. Their minds went blank and they had no idea what to say.

The two had never expected that Li Mingyang and Wang Changtian would actually go to Southeast Asia to develop.

……

Governments around the world subsidize film and television dramas.

Foreign crews receive even more generous subsidies than domestic crews.

This policy also exists in China.
For example, articles like "Real money! Rewards if you meet the conditions", "Bring your script! Up to 500 million yuan reward", "100 million yuan if you broadcast on CCTV-!", etc., are meant to tell you one thing: "As long as you come to our place to make a film, we will give you money."

Then the actual situation is super disappointing.

Although some film and television cities offer free filming and even provide subsidies, local consumption is still not low.

Props and equipment all cost money, and food, clothing, housing and transportation are simply intoxicating.

"It subsidizes me, but I spend more elsewhere."

There are roughly three types of preferential policies for filming locations in China to attract film crews: one is the scenic spot filming discount, where the scenic spot is implanted in the movie as a product and is given a certain implantation fee.

This type of scenic spot is completely unknown, but it offers such policies to attract film crews to shoot movies there. However, the amount of the product placement fee is measured based on the quality of the drama.

There is no clear standard at all. Some dramas may have no standard, while some first-line dramas may have product placement fees of several million.

The second is the filming discount at the film and television city, where filming is free and a certain percentage of the production cost subsidy is returned.

For example, film and television projects in Qingdao Oriental Movie Metropolis that meet the requirements can receive subsidies of up to 40% of the production costs.

Then in tourist cities, the cost of living remains high.

The third is the preferential treatment provided by local governments for filming. Filmmakers can apply for rewards or receive a certain percentage of production cost subsidies when filming locally.

For example, FS City provides 30% subsidy to film and television producers for the expenses incurred in FS City, including venue rental, rental of equipment and costume props, set design, hiring of extras, and post-production, which are incurred in FS City and for which VAT invoices are issued through the FS City tax system.

For example, in Shishi City, for the expenses incurred in Shishi during the filming, such as food, accommodation, transportation, props procurement, venue and equipment rental, etc., a one-time reward of 20% of the total amount will be given for each film based on formal tax invoices.

Looks good.

But first of all, we need to be clear about one thing: why do local governments issue preferential policies?

The most important thing is not to develop the film and television industry. Any preferential policies that are conducive to the development of the film and television industry should be issued by the General Administration.

Of course, they are doing this for the local tourism industry and to attract investment.

Foshan requires that the shots of FS City in the film account for more than 40% of the time, and the names of FS City enterprises, institutions and filming locations should be included in the opening or closing credits;

Shishi requires that film and television works positively reflect Shishi themes and tell stories of Shishi characters as the main line.

And you also have to meet certain standards to measure your "advertising effectiveness".

For example, Foshan requires that films have a box office of more than 500 million before being screened in theaters, or be premiered on CCTV-;

The TV series was premiered on CCTV channels or provincial satellite TV stations; online movies and online dramas were launched on major video websites (iQiyi, Tencent, Youku, Tudou, LeTV, Sohu and other platforms) and received more than 2000 million hits.

Therefore, even if you go to shoot, there will be the following two situations of "not getting paid": one is a small production that does not meet the indicators, and the other is a film that meets the indicators but fails the review.

According to the process, the local government has strict review.

But the fact is that even a film with an investment of tens of millions cannot get any money, but a makeshift team that spends 20 to make a film can get money.

It is normal that there are no subsidies for tens of millions of projects and a "grassroots crew" of 20 people actually earn millions.

Why is it that only Hengdian has succeeded in all these years?
First, Hengdian has really invested money to build a relatively large-scale and diversified film and television park; second, the entire Hengdian people really live for this, ensuring the operation of the entire film and television ecosystem.

Of course, Li Mingyang will not encounter these annoying problems.

The local tourism bureau treats him as a cash cow...

They will find various ways to give money.

But this is only limited to Running Man, which itself is a positive and uplifting outdoor variety show.

Once it involves movies, it becomes a numbness.

In the future, domestic crime-themed films will all be shot in Southeast Asia.

The police in Chinatown are stupid. The warden in SPL 2 and the police in Greedy Wolf are all pawns of the human trafficking group.

The story background of many movies cannot be set in China, but it is fine to set it in Southeast Asia.

Thailand is the best choice.

There are many Chinese people who speak Chinese, but they do not belong to the domestic territory. The corrupt are foreign police, and the corrupt are also foreign officials, so they can pass the trial smoothly.

Lost in Thailand broke the box office ceiling for domestic films and also boosted Thailand's entire tourism and filming industries.

For this, Xu Guangtou was also received by the Thai Prime Minister, who thanked him in person for his contribution to Thailand's tourism industry.

Afterwards, Thailand introduced a variety of policies to attract film crews to shoot in the country.

Originally, we just wanted to rely on movies to attract tourists.

Unexpectedly, it has greatly promoted the development of the country's film and television industry.

With the experience of high-quality Hollywood crews going to Thailand to shoot, Thailand has an excellent local reception team and talent advantage, and can even do it so that only the main creative staff can go there.

In less than five years, it has become one of the most developed regions in Asian film.

The film industry is more standardized, more awesome, and cheaper than in China...

Many Hong Kong films’ post-production is completed in Thailand.

"I finally know where your money went..." Yang Mi said.

"It's too much trouble to go to Southeast Asia to film," said Liu Yifei.

"The shooting cost is low, the resources are abundant, the culture is similar, and travel is convenient. The most important thing is that there is more cooperation, which is conducive to expanding the Southeast Asian market."

Li Mingyang poured the red wine from the decanter and poured a glass each for Liu Yifei, Xie Lan and Yang Mi.

"Shouldn't we be exploring the Japanese and Korean markets? Why are we targeting Southeast Asia again?" Liu Yifei said.

"To be precise, it's the entire Asian market." Xie Lan pointed with a laser pen, "Guangguang has opened branches in Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Cambodia, Myanmar and other Southeast Asian regions. Just the distribution of your name alone is expected to earn 8000 million in revenue from theaters, TV stations, and the Internet by the end of the year. In addition, the distribution of the flower bouquet is also under discussion, and the expected revenue will not be less than million."

"Because of policy reasons, the local government contributes money and manpower, and the cost is negligible."

"Robbery!" Yang Mi exclaimed.

"How come this movie is so profitable!"

Xie Lan pointed at Japan and South Korea with the red dots again. "Your Name has been viewed by over a million people in South Korea. It is estimated that the total number of viewers will not be less than three million. It is a blockbuster movie."

"Although your name is a big seller in Japan and South Korea, the copyright issue of Weathering With You has not yet been resolved. In Southeast Asia, the screening rights of Weathering With You have been sold out, with a total of 4500 million sold."

"Weathering With You has been sold overseas before filming even started?" Yang Mi felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.

"Well, the Southeast Asian market is small in scale and the output is low, so they prefer imports. There are no restrictions as long as they can make money. Xixi, you are very well-known there. The TV stations there are still broadcasting The Return of the Condor Heroes and The Chinese Paladin 1." Xie Lan said.

"What about me? What about me?" Yang Mi pointed at herself and said excitedly.

"It's not bad, after all, you are also in The Condor Heroes."

"Isn't Chinese Paladin 3 broadcast yet?"

"Chinese Paladin 3 is too expensive. They like to buy Chinese TV series from three or four years ago. In two years, Chinese Paladin 3 should be airing."

"..."

Yang Mi was very angry, but she couldn't show it. She smiled, picked up the wine glass, and tasted the red wine in the glass. "This wine is quite delicious. How much is a bottle?"

"Over one hundred."

"Pfft... why are you so stingy! Red wine that costs over a hundred yuan is added with hormones and preservatives!" Yang Mi said angrily, then rushed into the bathroom and rinsed her mouth.

Liu Yifei originally wanted to drink, but suddenly she lost interest and quietly withdrew her hand.

Xie Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Director Li, please stop teasing them. This is a gift from Xiaoyanzi to President Wang. It costs tens of thousands per bottle. It's new wine and tastes pretty good."

"Really?" Liu Yifei picked up the red wine glass in front of her and took a sip. "Not bad, with a grassy aroma."

Yang Mi came out of the bathroom angrily and gave Li Mingyang a displeased look, "You even cheated me when I was drinking."

"You're overreacting." Li Mingyang said.

"Tell me, what do you want me to do? You can't be telling me these things for no reason."

"Actually, the idea of ​​a film and television city is very good, but it's too difficult to start from scratch. Dali is a good place, and it's a popular tourist attraction. I plan to turn it into a film and television city. Do you two want to invest?"

Yang Mi and Liu Yifei looked at each other and both felt that Li Mingyang was not that kind.

"Invest? How much to invest? How much money can I get every year? How long does it take to get my money back?" Yang Mi asked.

"I don't have money..." Liu Yifei said with her head down.

"If you don't have money, you can endorse and buy shares. You can own shares of Youfeng Film and Television City without spending a penny."

"How much?"

"Ten percent per person."

The two women were stunned at the same time, feeling that there was a huge trap here!
That’s too much to give!
"Mr. Wang only has 10%." Xie Lan added.

"Mingyang, I'm curious about how many shares you have?" Yang Mi was tempted, but she had a principle, that is, the projects with more shares held by Li Mingyang were good projects...

"60%."

"Okay, since you've invited me so kindly, I'll give you this honor and invest in the company. But I want to invest money, not be the endorser."

"You pay, but what will Sissi do? She has no money."

Liu Yifei sighed silently in her heart. It was too early to say that. She had no money. All the money was with her mother.

She didn't want to be the spokesperson either, as she felt there was a trap and she would definitely be taken advantage of.

"The contract has to be signed, right? Can I see it?"

After Liu Yifei finished speaking, she heard the door open behind her. Turning back, she saw Wang Changtian walking out of the room with a smile on his face, holding the contract in his hand.

Liu Yifei opened it and saw, wow, it’s handwritten… there are more than 2,000 words, right?!
Yang Mi was also shocked. The CEO of Guangguang was hiding in the house. How despicable!
